Chapter 81: Garbage Street (Part 3)
After Mu Yu finished speaking, the small world around the stone table fell silent for a moment in the night.
Then——
“F-Fuck!”
“Oh my god…”
Zhang Huawei was touching his own hair again, and Shen Leng got goose bumps all over his body.
There are hidden players in this instance!!
This is too... too confusing. They can't describe it. They just feel that ordinary people won't be able to figure it out so quickly when faced with this kind of problem.
What kind of brain does this boy named Mu Yu have? How can he work so fast like a small motor? !
——Only Gao Zhanyuan, after he understood, had a look of steady happiness and peace on his face.
His brother Yu's brain has always been different from that of ordinary people, and today he was impressed again...
Zhang Huawei swallowed and looked around with wide eyes: "Then where are those players? Are they already in Garbage Street? Or are they at the west gate of Garbage Street?"
After Mu Yu finished his analysis, he let out a long sigh. After sorting out the clues, he felt a little more comfortable.
He thought about this question and shook his head. "I don't know about that. We'll have to wait until we get into Garbage Street to find out. And for now, we can only say that there is such a possibility. We'll have to wait and see for the details. But if there are really other players, then this kind of copy is indeed the first time it has appeared. All previous copies had only one 'starting point', and players have never been separated like this..."
At the welcome party, they were indeed scattered throughout the venue at first, but they quickly gathered under the stage, so it couldn't be said that they were really dispersed.
And this time this copy——
Mu Yu's eyes were calm.
Although he has not officially entered Garbage Street to explore, his intuition tells him that this copy is definitely different from the one in the welcome party.
Fortunately...
He looked at the school uniform of the Primary School Affiliated to Lian University.
...Fortunately, after analysis, this copy finally returned to his cognition in some aspects.
Lu Zhongnian is most likely in this instance, among another group of players whose whereabouts are unknown at the moment...
He tightened his grip.
...It’s okay, no need to worry. No matter what the situation is, Lu Chongnian can handle it.
Mu Yu raised his head and said, "Time is tight, let's divide the school uniforms and put them on first!"
The two sets of school uniforms for the Little Chef Training Class and the Media Primary School were undoubtedly given to Gao Zhanyuan and Shen Leng.
The clothes fit them well and did not look bulky when worn over their shrunken regular clothes.
The school uniform of the little chef training class is bright yellow.
Gao Zhanyuan has golden hair on his head and wears a golden yellow shirt. He looks like a bright little light bulb. When he turns around, the radiating effect is like the revolving ball light in a dance hall, crackling and sweeping.
The school uniform of the Primary School Affiliated to Media University is white, a bit like a suit. Shen Leng is thin, so it fits him well and makes him look like a little prince.
Mu Yu turned to Zhang Huawei and said, "You can wear the Polytechnic uniform. I'll wear the Lotus University uniform."
Zhang Huawei was flattered.
He was a little worried that Mu Yu would snatch the science and engineering school uniform from him. Although he didn't know what specific purpose the uniform would play, he always felt that it would be safer to wear the corresponding uniform of his own school... He didn't expect Mu Yu to be so generous.
Zhang Huawei immediately felt embarrassed, coughed twice, and pretended to be humble: "Well, are you sure?"
Mu Yu’s answer was to throw the black school uniform of the Polytechnic Primary School directly to him – just wear it.
He quickly put on the dark blue school uniform of Lianda Primary School.
Mu Yu looks really like Conan when he puts on this dark blue school uniform, with his short black hair and a pair of big glasses. If he wears a red bow tie, he can almost shoot needles on the spot.
Zhang Huawei literally turned into a little winter melon, pitch black and round.
Gao Zhanyuan complained: "Black doesn't make you look thinner."
Being chased and kicked.
The moment the four people finished changing their clothes, Mu Yu suddenly felt dizzy.
He shook his head and saw that the other three people also had some strange expressions on their faces. He asked perceptively, "Did you also faint?"
Zhang Huawei said: "Yes, you guys fainted too?"
Shen Leng: "I fainted!"
Gao Zhanyuan: "I fainted too."
Mu Yu looked at himself suspiciously, as if nothing had changed.
etc……
He pulled at his collar and found that the school uniform on him seemed to be stuck to his body and could not be torn off.
Seeing this, the other three people's faces changed slightly. They tried one after another, but found that like Mu Yu, they could not take off their school uniforms!
——Once you choose the school uniform, you can no longer change it?
Shen Leng was worried: "What on earth are these school uniforms for?"
"It's impossible to know now," Mu Yu said. "Generally speaking, the death mechanism can only be known after players officially enter the dungeon map and experience it themselves."
But often by that time, it is too late to regret.
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Mu Yu no longer worried about the school uniform issue, but glanced at the four red little schoolbags on the ground.
He brought the canvas bag today, but since the copy provided them with props, he might as well use it...
The four of them quickly put their belongings into their backpacks.
Every letter from home and every train ticket was the same, so everyone took one and stuffed them all into their schoolbags.
After they were ready, they stood up and moved.
Gurgle gurgle.
A strange sound sounded behind them.
The eight short legs froze at once, and the four little heads turned backwards at once.
...The four crystal coffins that were originally standing quietly behind the stone table all rolled up spontaneously and came behind them.
Behind each person there is a ghost that seems to have been suddenly awakened.
"...Fuck, this is really weird." Zhang Huawei cursed.
Mu Yu frowned: "Forget about this thing, let's go to the garbage street first!"
They turned around and rushed towards the brightly lit area together.
They successfully passed through the invisible wall and entered the Garbage Street. They all stopped very close to the entrance.
There was a moment of dead silence.
Shen Leng's voice sounded like he was about to cry: "I'm really a little scared, these monsters are too..."
Mu Yu adjusted his glasses.
I don’t know if it’s because he is short-sighted to begin with, but after adding the myopia buff of the dungeon, he seems to be much blinder than the other three.
At this moment, he could only see blurry human-shaped shadows swaying in front of him, but he couldn't tell whether they were NPCs or monsters.
After calming himself down, Mu Yu narrowed his eyes and spent a long time before he finally understood.
Most of the people wandering around the streets right now are NPCs, with only a few monsters mixed in.
Those monsters looked a lot like humans, only bigger.
Some are purple and bald, while others are silver and have horse-like manes on the back of their heads. They have different shapes and look like the monsters that only appear in Journey to the West...
Mu Yu looked at the stalls along the street again and found something different.
The shop owners who make food in the stalls are all monsters, without a single NPC.
...In other words, there is a 100% chance of danger in the stall?
Mu Yu pondered.
Gao Zhanyuan suddenly pointed forward and said, "Brother Yu, look, there's a sign over there. Is that the rule?"
He was referring to a sign that looked like a tourist guide for a scenic spot. It was about 1.5 meters high and stood quietly on the side of a busy trail, looking a bit out of place.
Four little kids ran up to the sign, stood on tiptoe and raised their heads.
At the top of the sign is a slogan in cartoon font: "The food on Garbage Street is not only delicious, but also very healthy!"
1. Food waste is strictly prohibited. All stores will work together to maintain a good atmosphere of cherishing food.
2. If you find any sanitation problems or other issues, you can call 10233 to report them, and the garbage street supervision staff will come to investigate. But please do not call the reporting phone randomly, which will waste manpower.
3. Some store managers are overly obsessed with cooking and ingredients. I hope you can respect and understand me. You can maintain friendly communication. "It must be delicious" is their favorite compliment.
4. With the permission of the store manager, diners can taste the food.
Mu Yu was a little surprised. There were only four rules this time? So few?
"So what should we do now?" Shen Leng tried hard to think, "Does the copy require us to buy something to eat? And then what?"
What can you do after eating?
Mu Yu pondered: "The first line of the slogan mentioned 'health'..."
"The most unhealthy part of our body is our eyes, right? I wonder if the rules are hinting to us that there are some foods in Garbage Street that can heal our eyes?"
"Cure the eyes? What can you do after you cure them?" Zhang Huawei was suspicious.
"Then we have to ask why the copy changed our eyes into this state," Mu Yu speculated, "Maybe there are some things that we can only see after our eyes are healed, and we can't see them now."
If such "things" really exist, then these "things" may be the most crucial clues to this copy.
He turned around and looked across the street.
With his eyesight, he could only vaguely see that there were some strange KT boards that were not usually there under, above, or on the left and right sides of the storefronts of every stall on the entire street.
There are some patterns printed on those Kt boards, some of which look like cartoon characters, and some seem to be photos of delicious food.
They should all be used for publicity. The only thing worth noting is that there seems to be text on each KT board.
And words are messages.
Mu Yu said to the other three, "Let's search the entire street separately to see which stalls sell food that is suspected to be able to cure our eyes, and also look for other players elsewhere on the street."
"Two people in a group, take care of each other. Don't be afraid of the NPCs and monsters. As long as you don't provoke them, they shouldn't attack the players. Take pictures of anything worth noting with your phone. It's 6:35 now. Can we regroup here at 6:40?"
Three people: "Okay!"
Gao Zhanyuan immediately said: "Then Brother Yu, I will be in your group and I will protect you!"
Shen Leng and Zhang Huawei looked at each other and said, "Then let's form a group of two."
Four elementary school students, two to the left and two to the right, acted separately.
*
On the other side, Xinlian Hotel, five minutes ago.
Yan Shaowen regained consciousness from the darkness.
He found himself transferred to the interior of the Xinlian Hotel.
He was sitting on a sofa, and sitting next to him was the fair and tender little curly-haired girl who had almost stepped on his foot just now.
There was a hint of confusion in the little curly-haired boy's eyes. He blinked twice and gradually came to his senses. Then he pursed his lips and began to look around vigilantly.
Sitting opposite them were a man and a woman.
The girl grabbed the boy's arm and the boy put his arm around the girl's shoulders. Both of them were very nervous and looked like a couple.
Yan Shaowen was a little speechless.
It turned out that he was possessed by a ghost and came here today. Now he can't go back to the dormitory at all.
This sofa is obviously used for travelers to rest. It is located in the middle of the hotel lobby, some distance away from the main entrance.
The two glass doors in the distance were now closed, and one could see the dark and deserted streets outside.
There was a glass coffee table between the four of them, on which was a pile of messy things, including strange train tickets, strange letters from home, strange university acceptance letters, and four room cards.
On one side of them stood a row of four crystal coffin-like objects, quiet and tall, which made people feel frightened just by looking at them.
At this moment, there was only one boy in the entire lobby besides them. He was wearing the hotel's work clothes and standing behind the front desk.
He seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality here and was working seriously on the computer.
The boy in the couple stood up tremblingly at this time and walked towards the door carefully.
He pushed the door, turned around and shouted to the front desk: "Hey, this door can't be opened!"
The receptionist looked up and said politely, "Hello, please check out before leaving."
The boy opened his mouth, but maybe the situation was too weird, he couldn't utter anything at once. He immediately turned back to the coffee table, picked up a room card, rushed over, and slammed it on the table.
"Here is the room card. Quick, open the door for us!"
The front desk clerk took the card, picked up the phone and dialed an internal number. After asking a few questions, he hung up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are still some things in this room that have not been taken away. Sir, please take all your things away before checking out."
"What, what is that? How could I have left anything in the room?! I never booked a room here! What the hell is going on? Who knocked us out and kidnapped us here?!"
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that this room card is not yours?"
"Of course it's not mine!"
"Then how did you get this room card?"
"What—I, this room card was right in front of me when I woke up—"
"Sir, please think carefully," the boy at the front desk said, his eyes gradually becoming deep, cold, and inorganic, "Are you really not a guest of our hotel?"
"I--"
"——If you don't want to die, stop asking."
A lazy voice interrupted him.
The boy fell silent, turned his head stiffly and looked at the person who made the sound.
Because of inexplicable fear, his face turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was gasping for breath.
His girlfriend wasn't in a much better condition either. She was curled up in the corner of the sofa, shivering.
The two of them, including the little curly-haired boy, all looked at the calmest person among them - Yan Shaowen.
Yan Shaowen sat casually in his original position, holding a billboard that was originally placed in the middle of the coffee table, looking at it irritably and unhappily.
The slogan on the billboard has long disappeared, replaced by a few lines of small rules.
After Yan Shaowen finished looking at it, he put the sign back to its original place and said:
"Because this matter is very troublesome, I will only explain it once. Listen carefully."
