"It seems this place is different. I should be able to find some clues here."
After the couple left, Gu Shi began to wander around the street.
Because the pedestrians on this street were not as mechanical as those in other places, Gu Shi obtained some information from them.
Gu Shi found a random place on the street to sit down and began to organize the information he had obtained.
From these people's mouths, we can learn that there seems to be a war outside this relic space, and this city is hidden as a shelter.
The war situation outside seems to be a bit tense recently. In order to protect the safety of the shelter, the inspection of entry and exit has become more strict.
Under such circumstances, prices in the city have skyrocketed. People living on this street do not have much savings. Gu Shi has heard several people worrying about their future lives.
"If this is an illusion, then it should be a reproduction of the past. The war these people are talking about is the fight against demons.
But why was I forced to come here as soon as I entered the ruins?"
Gu Shi once again carefully recalled the situation when he entered the ruins. If he guessed correctly, he should have been pulled in here directly and did not have time to enter the correct ruins space.
After all, before he fell into a coma, he only saw white light everywhere, and Wendel did not mention to Gu Shi that he would feel dizzy when entering the ruins, so his dizziness was caused by being pulled in here.
"Why me?"
Gu Shi was a little unsure. Compared with other people, he had too many special features, and he couldn't come to any useful conclusions in a short time.
Gu Shi shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't think about it anymore. My first goal now should be to find a way to leave here.
Judging from the current situation, the breakthrough point should be on this unusual street. Let's first look around to see if there is anything special."
Gu Shi did what he said and began to search the place carefully. Unfortunately, he didn't get any useful clues until sunset.
Gu Shi sat down on a table outside a restaurant, feeling a little tired. Looking at the setting sun, he decided to take a break and continue exploring after dark. Maybe something different would appear here at night.
Gu Shi supported his head with one hand, watching the slowly setting sun, and muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, this should be a separate space, disconnected from the outside world. If so, where does this sun come from?"
"Don't you know, big brother? That's a super tool made by the alchemists!"
Gu Shi was startled by the sudden words coming from the side. He turned his head quickly and saw a little boy about ten years old standing next to him.
The little boy hadn't expected Gu Shi's reaction to be so strong. He apologized in a panic, "Big brother, what's wrong with you? Did I scare you by suddenly talking to you? I'm sorry."
Gu Shi did not respond immediately. He first looked around and did not see anyone else. After confirming that the little boy was indeed talking to him, he answered.
"Don't apologize, I'm fine. I was just a little lost in thought watching the sun."
The little boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest, smiled energetically, and said, "That's good, big brother. What do you want to eat? Our toast is super delicious!"
Gu Shi finally understood why the little boy came over to talk to him. He glanced at the restaurant behind him and said, "I saw your restaurant was pitch black and thought it was closed. I didn't expect it to be still open?"
The little boy pretended to be mature and said, "It can't be helped. The economy isn't doing well these days, and candles cost money too."
Gu Shi smiled and patted the little boy's head. "Is that so? Thank you for your hard work. Please give me a piece of toast and a drink."
As he spoke, Gu Shi took out a silver coin and handed it to the little boy.
Gu Shi didn't know whether the coins he had on him could still be used, but he decided to give it a try anyway. If it didn't work, he had already thought of an excuse.
"Please wait a moment." The little boy took the silver coin and said angrily, "Also, I'm already grown up, don't touch my head casually."
After saying that, he quickly ran back to the restaurant.
Gu Shi didn't care about any of this. He looked at his hand and asked, "I actually touched it? Is it because this child is special, or has my current state changed?"
Because of this incident, many speculations suddenly emerged in Gu Shi's mind, and he wanted to verify them one by one immediately. It was a pity that he could be seen by other people now, so he could not do anything strange.
Anyway, the little boy just now was the first person who could see him. Let's try to build a good relationship with him first. Maybe he is hiding some secrets.
Gu Shi had not been sitting at his seat for long when the little boy came back with the food he ordered. It seemed that he was the only customer in the restaurant.
"Big brother, your toast is here."
The little boy was holding a plate with a large portion of crispy brown bread and a full glass of drink.
After placing the plate in front of Gu Shi, the little boy proudly introduced: "This is beer brewed by our family. It tastes very good. We even had guests come to our restaurant to drink here before."
Gu Shi glanced at the bright yellow beer in the glass and asked, "Really? Could it be that you've already learned to drink at such a young age?"
The little boy immediately lost his temper. "Mom and Dad said I was still young and wouldn't let me drink, even though I'm already fourteen."
Gu Shi really didn't realize this. He thought the little boy was only eleven or twelve years old. After all, he looked thin and small.
"By the way, here's your change."
Gu Shi shook his head and said, "No need, just consider it a tip from me. You can use it to buy snacks or something."
The little boy's eyes lit up immediately, "Thank you, big brother!"
Gu Shi asked him temptingly, "Do you want more tips?"
"Really? Big Brother, you can tell me anything you want."
The little boy became even more excited. He knew at first sight that the older brother in front of him was a wealthy man. His wealth could be seen from his dress, and he didn't expect that he was so generous.
Gu Shi smiled and said, "Then sit down and chat with me."
Of course the little boy would not refuse such a simple request, and he sat down opposite Gu Shi.
