Chapter 3680 Reduced recognition(1/2)
Starworm didn't know how Geralt was going to help them at first. It wasn't until the train entered the station that he watched Geralt pull them out of the door quickly.
Then, like agents, various mechanical police dogs evaded patrols, and finally hid in the sunken gaps on the side of the train.
The most important thing is that along the way, Geralt only avoided the mechanical police dog, and the ordinary people around him did not avoid it at all.
Starworm even saw that a peace officer and a ticket inspector were clearly looking in their direction.
Moreover, they must have seen their group.
But Geralt didn't care at all.
Geralt patted Starworm on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as the police dogs don't find us, no one else will take the initiative to expose us."
"It's very troublesome for them to report us or arrest us. It's better to do less than to do more. Anyway, we are just hitchhiking and we won't do anything dangerous."
Starworm still doesn't understand Geralt's reasoning, and... they are in this hollow, isn't this considered dangerous?
It's not like he hasn't seen the speed of this train.
That's almost like speeding. Not only are they catching the wind while hiding here, but they can also be easily thrown out. Isn't this dangerous?
Geralt: "It seems that this is your first time taking a train."
"Don't worry, every train in Modern City has invisible coatings painted by fashion magicians on the outer shell. Once activated, these coatings will form a defensive film. By then, the outside of this gap will also be wrapped. We will not There will be danger."
Starworm wanted to say something else, but Gleipnir gently pulled his sleeve and pointed behind him.
At Gleipnir's signal, Starworm looked back.
They found five people wearing wasteland-style jackets who looked like homeless people walking towards them.
When they saw that there were already three people in this gap, the five people discussed in a low voice and arranged for two teenagers to come over.
"Shall we squeeze in?"
Geralt smiled and gave up his seat, giving the two teenagers some space.
The three people outside bowed to them and went to look for empty seats in other depressions.
Seeing this, Starworm already understood that these people were probably from the underground neighborhood.
Seeing how they squeezed in so familiarly, there is a high probability that this is what they usually do...or in other words, people in the underground neighborhood may be secretly riding the train like this.
No wonder, the people around him had completely unsurprised expressions.
This has probably become a kind of tacit public understanding: we won’t cause trouble, and you won’t report it, and we won’t enter the carriage to seize your seat, so everyone will live in peace.
"It's a very strange ecology, but it feels quite harmonious for some reason." Starworm thought to himself.
Because there were two more strange teenagers, Geralt did not speak anymore, and Starworm took this time to observe the two new teenagers.
They dress very similar to Geralt, also in wasteland style.
However, Geralt was wearing a military green coat painted with mixed camouflage, while the two teenagers wore uniform gray leather jackets with obvious stains on them.
But what matters most is not their appearance, but their faces.
One's face seemed to be stamped with a black coat of arms, and in the middle was a weird mocking emoticon.
The other one has an extra piece of fat on his face, half of it looks like a handsome young man, and the other half looks like an alien.
Starworm looked at it for several times before slowly looking away.
But this scene was seen by Geralt. His eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, but he made no sound.
About half a minute later.
The paint on the train shell is activated.
A transparent film covered the entire train.
As the train started, shiny words and various changing patterns appeared on the film.
If you take a closer look, you will find that these words and patterns are... advertisements.
Ignoring these details, Starworm touched the film at this time and clearly felt the hardness. Even if he leaned against the film, he did not have to worry about the film breaking.
The most important thing is that inside this luminous film, they can't feel the wind blowing in at all, and they can't even hear the wind.
You know, the speed of the train has reached its peak at this time.
From his perspective, the street lights on the floating railway tracks that were constantly flashing outside had blurred into a single line of light.
It is enough to see that the speed is extremely fast.
But even so, the depression they were in had no impact at all. No wonder Geralt had reassured him just now that the fashion magician's painting was indeed extraordinary.
In about a minute, the new platform will arrive.
However, they did not need to get off at this station, but the two teenagers walked down at this station.
In an instant, the depression became much wider.
After another minute, the train started again. When the film rose again, new advertising words and slogans also appeared on the film...
Star Bug still remembers that the previous advertisement seemed to be a real estate advertisement.
I wonder which industry advertising this time will be?
While Starworm was observing curiously, Geralt, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "You guys... are very different."
The sound made Starworm's heart skip a beat.
Could it be that their identities have been discovered?
Starworm looked over and happened to meet Geralt's eyes, which made Starworm feel even more guilty.
It’s just that Starworm forgot that he sees people through the hole in the brick mask, that is, the hole at the mouth; and when Geralt looked at him, he could only see a dark mask with no features. outlet, so their eyes cannot be "right" from Geralt's perspective.
Geralt looked at Starworm and spoke out of pure respect.
"Why is it different?" Gleipnir's voice came from one side.
Geralt looked away and looked at Graipnir: "There are generally only three types of people in the underground streets. Refugees, aberrations and sinners."
"But you don't look like any of them. You seem to be unfamiliar with the modern city and even the people in the underground neighborhoods."
"You are more like young men from the modern inner circle who are not deeply involved in the world."
"But what the inner circle young masters are most proud of is their identity. It is impossible for them to give up their identity... Therefore, you who have no identity can only be people in the underground neighborhood."
"But unfortunately, you don't look like the people in the underground neighborhood at all."
There is no doubt that from Geralt's words, he has begun to doubt the identities of Starworm and Gleipnir.
But this is normal.
Because they have no legal status, Geralt identifies them as similar people in the underground neighborhood; but almost everyone in the underground neighborhood is an "old fritter", while Starworm and Gleipnir are indifferent to everything. Strange, not like an "old fritter" at all.
This obvious contrast naturally made Geralt suspicious.
After Geralt finished speaking, he waited silently, wanting to hear how they would respond.
However, both Starworm and Gleipnir tacitly chose to bow their heads and remain silent.
Looking at the two people facing each other in silence, Geralt thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. I was too abrupt."
The moment the words fell, Starworm and Gleipnir received a prompt from Wonderland at the same time.
"Geralt's recognition level has decreased."
Starworm didn't know why.
But Gleipnir immediately realized: Sure enough, if you want to trigger Geralt's side quest, you need to increase Geralt's recognition.
Because of their silence, Geralt's recognition of them has decreased, which means that their threshold for accepting side quests has also increased.
However, that's okay.
Anyway, Gleipnir never thought of taking on this side quest.
After the first round of main missions, she tried to find a way to get out of the dungeon as soon as possible. Whoever wanted to pick it up could pick it up, but she wouldn't pick it up anyway.
After that, Geralt didn't speak to them again.
Soon, the train arrived at Beijiu District.
Gleipnir and Starworm also got out of the car. When they said goodbye to Geralt, Geralt was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know who you are."
