Chapter 390: The Town Does Not Accept Cash

[To be honest, I think this town is pretty scary. I can’t really put my finger on what’s scary about it, but I just felt uncomfortable the first time I saw it.]

After hearing what this netizen said, many netizens turned their attention to the town behind them.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is always cold and gloomy, but the whole town feels chilly and chilly.

The sky above the town seemed to be covered with a light blue-gray color.

That gray feeling is probably the source of the discomfort.

"You guys noticed that too, right?"

Lin Man shuddered and whispered in a low voice, "When I first stepped into this place, I felt uncomfortable all over, but I couldn't tell where I felt uncomfortable."

"I always feel that everything here is weird, lifeless and without vitality."

The architecture of the entire ancient house is in old Chinese style.

There is a bluestone street under your feet.

Wall courtyards are mostly based on black and white tones.

In front of every house there is a thick wire for hanging clothes.

Due to the long years and the heavy rain in the town, the outside of the wire was covered with a thick layer of red rust.

As the heavy rain washed down, reddish-brown water slowly seeped out.

[Have you entered the wrong instance? ]

[Ahem, look and see if there are any rules slips suddenly appearing under your feet. 】

【Welcome to the mysterious town. As a new member of the town, please remember the following rules: 1. Everything in the town is real. 2. Please do not talk to strangers.】

[The guy above, why are you talking about this whole weird rule thing? ]

[Stop using that scary trick, host. Please tell us what happened to them and how they should leave.]

[This place looks creepy. I'm ready to take notes, just in case I accidentally end up in such a weird place.]

[You can, but it’s not necessary. ]

Huo Ning frowned. These people are really——

She shook her head. "This is not the world of the living. This is a paper town."

"Every passerby you see is not a human. They are afraid of water, but it rains every year in the town. You are souls who accidentally stepped into the paper town. Only by escaping from the town can you return to the real world."

After a pause, Huo Ning told them the seriousness of the matter.

"If you can't escape from the town, you will continue to sleep and become a vegetable in reality."

Upon hearing this, the girls behind Lin Man burst into tears.

Escaping from the town sounds easy, but they were unfamiliar with the place and had no idea where to go.

Not to mention how to escape from this town.

"What should we do? Are we really going to die here? Are we really going to become vegetables in real life?"

A girl with a ponytail and wearing a blue denim jacket squatted on the ground and started crying when she heard Huo Ning's words.

"Pei Jiaojiao, you still have the nerve to cry!"

The girl with smoky makeup on her face kicked her Martin boots irritably, "If you hadn't gone crazy and insisted on asking us to travel with you, we wouldn't have been so unlucky!"

It's so unlucky to accidentally enter the paper doll town. It sounds scary!

"Li Juan, what do you mean by that? If you don't want to, can I still put a knife to your neck and force you to come?"

Pei Jiaojiao was almost mad. When something happened, the responsibility was pushed onto her. What kind of person is Li Juan!

"Stop arguing." Another girl in a white sweater bit her lip with fear on her face. "Let's think about how to get out first."

She walked to Lin Man's side and looked up at Huo Ning on the screen. "Hello, I just heard Man Man call you Master Huo."

"Master Huo, what should we do to leave this town?"

“Are there any taboos that we need to pay attention to?”

[I like teammates who are considerate. When I see those two people quarreling at this critical moment, everyone in the group will be shocked.]

[Don't drag us down, we are all good girls. ]

[It is rare to be able to remain calm in such a situation, but it is understandable that some people can't help crying and quarreling. ]

[It is because everyone has a different personality that this world is interesting and wonderful. If everyone were the same, what would be the point? ]

[So you guys are saying, is crying and arguing any use? ]

Huo Ning glanced at the girl. It was rare that she was not overwhelmed by fear.

"There is actually another way, which is not that troublesome, but it requires you to die in the town."

"To put it bluntly, it's just like a dream. If you die in the dream, you can return to the real world."

"But——"

Horan paused. "Unlike in the dream, you are not isolated from it. In other words, you will feel the pain of death firsthand."

When people are in a dream, they cannot feel pain or cold.

Even if you are enjoying delicious food in your dream, you cannot actually taste the food.

But this 'dream' is certainly different from the previous ones.

It's more like a parallel world.

Only by dying or escaping in the parallel world can you wake up in the real world.

Upon hearing this, the girls looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.

Life is not easy.

But isn’t it easy to die?

The girls felt that they finally had a way to escape, and hugged each other excitedly.

Seeing them like this, Huo Ning shook his head.

"Don't take it too lightly. Once it gets dark, something terrible will happen in the town."

"If you are still wandering outside when it gets dark, you will encounter danger that you cannot escape. If you die in this situation, it is real death, and the soul cannot return to the real world."

Several girls shuddered.

They looked up at the sky.

It had been raining and the whole town was shrouded in mist, shrouded in a bluish-gray color.

I don’t know what the night will be like.

But a few girls checked the time on their phones.

If calculated based on the time it gets dark in real life, the sun will set in less than half an hour and the whole town will be covered in a layer of ink.

The night means terror is coming.

Invisible dangers will always follow you.

Crime is most likely to occur in the dark, and places where light cannot reach are a paradise for criminals.

"Master Huo, help! What should we do?"

Lin Man blurted out a request for help.

Logically, she shouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

Since they can't hang around outside after dark, they should find a hotel or B&B to stay in as soon as possible.

But she subconsciously felt that things were not that simple.

If it was something that could be solved by simply booking a hotel, I don't think Master Huo would have mentioned it specifically.

As expected, Huo Ning pursed her lips, her expression solemn and serious, "The method is very simple. Just walk a hundred meters to your left and you will see a hotel. You just need to stay in the hotel."

"But I have to remind you that no hotel or B&B here will accept RMB."

"If you try to pay with RMB, you will be blacklisted by all hotels and no one will take you in before dawn."

Lin Man felt a pang in her heart.

Why is there still a rule that we cannot accept RMB?

"Does it want dollars and pounds? I don't have any of that."

They are traveling within China, so they naturally won't bring currencies from other countries.

This place is scary and weird, but why are the requirements so weird?

"That's not necessary. This is China. Even if you change those two, they won't work here."

"They only accept ghost money, you just need to pay the ghost money."

Lin Man and the other three: "..."

My goodness, it would be better to ask for currencies from other countries. If you want these things, you can probably find someone to exchange them for.

The result is that he wants ghost money!

No, who would bring such messy stuff when traveling?

When traveling normally, no one would stuff ghost money on their body or in their suitcase.

After all, if you really want to stuff this thing in there, you will be beaten to death by your companions.

Lin Man wanted to cry but had no tears. No matter how calm she was, her mentality was a little broken at this moment.

"What should we do, Master Huo?"

"The four of us are poorer than our faces, and we can't even find a single ghost money. What should we do?"
