Now it seems that it was true.

Both of them are official experts of the Security Bureau and the conversation went smoothly.

Xu Yang told us about his experience.

"I was trapped on the bus for three whole days. Those three days were filled with despair." In the room, Xu Yang asked a paper man to make tea for him.

Lin Mo said thank you.

"I won't mention the dangerous experiences I had. Later, I found the entrance to the Second-Hand Alley and learned the rules. I thought I could save up 1,000 yuan and leave, but it wasn't that easy at all," Xu Yang sighed.

Lin Mo blew away the hot steam in the teacup, put it down naturally without drinking it, and asked, "Tell me about it."

Xu Yang glanced at Lin Mo's tea, smiled, and continued: "Since you are here, you should know that there are only three types of people in the Second-Hand Alley: hunters, wolves, and rabbits."

Lin Mo nodded.

"Each of these three identities has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own characteristics. According to the most optimistic scenario, from the time you enter the Junk Alley to the time you leave, you need to kill at least nine targets. This requires that your initial profession is a hunter. If you change to other professions, you will need to hunt even more targets."

That's true.

The wolf's money-making efficiency is halved, and the rabbit needs to change its identity before it can make money.

When the rabbit changes its identity, money will be deducted.

"I guess you are a rabbit." Xu Yang said at this time.

"Aren't you a rabbit too?" Lin Mo also said.

The two of them laughed and understood each other tacitly.

After all, if a hunter and a wolf meet each other, they must fight.

"The situation is not that simple. To tell you the truth, I am not a rabbit, I am a hunter. It's just that in my shop, I can ignore the rules of professional fighting in the Second-Hand Alley. Otherwise, there will definitely be hunters and wolves among the people who come to eat. Wouldn't they fight?"

After Xu Yang said this, Lin Mo also nodded.

It's true.

This then brings up another matter.

"You must be wondering, why did I become the owner of this restaurant?" Xu Yang glanced at Lin Mo, who nodded repeatedly. This was indeed what Lin Mo was most curious about right now.

For example, how did this restaurant come about? Why are the rules in the restaurant different? And how did they get those paper waiters?

"If I were allowed to choose again, I would definitely not choose this store." Xu Yang's eyes were lost in memories.

More than two months ago, Xu Yang was sent by the General Administration to investigate the ghost bus.

This car appeared in the contaminated area of ​​Route 66 in Black Duck City. When it appeared, it took away many living people, and these people were never found again.

As for the bodies of these people in the real world, they all died within three days.

This means that all the people taken away by the bus died.

The General Administration had previously sent an expert to investigate, but just two days ago, the expert disappeared.

The missing expert's body was not dead, he was just in a state of sleep.

This means that the other party has been trapped in a nightmare world.

Xu Yang's mission is to find the missing expert and then explore the secret of the ghost bus.

That night, he successfully found the platform and waited for eight hours before he finally got the bus.

Xu Yang got in the car.

From this moment on, his fate was completely changed.

After all, he didn't know that he was cursed at that time. He just found that he couldn't wake up in the next three days, and the bus was always driving on this endless road.

The train will only stop when it encounters a platform.

He got out of the car and explored the dark road, and was almost swallowed by the nightmare hidden in the darkness.

The experts in the General Administration all have their own means of survival.

His only reliance is the evil spirit standing behind him.

This is his younger brother.

Brothers from the same mother.

He died at birth, and he has his younger brother's blood in him. He has heard his mother talk about this biological brother since he was a child. So after entering the nightmare world for the first time, this longing, guilt and fear towards his brother gave birth to this nightmare.

But because he was his younger brother, Nightmare did not kill him, but instead became his right-hand man.

After wandering on the road for two days, he luckily found a station and got on the bus after waiting for several hours.

Later, Xu Yang followed some nightmares, got off the train at Platform 69, and then found the Second-Hand Goods Alley.

"I struggled in the Second-Hand Alley for ten days, and I was trembling with fear every day. I changed my identity, and the most money I had was 500 yuan, but that was short-lived. In order to survive, I spent all the money, and during an attack that almost killed me, I fled into this restaurant. At that time, there was only a hollowed-out corpse here, or it would be more appropriate to say human skin."

There was a strong fear in Xu Yang's eyes at this moment.

He must be recalling something horrible.

"The skin of the man was only a head, and his internal organs were empty, but he was still alive. He was the previous owner of the restaurant. He told me that he was going to die, and asked me if I wanted to inherit the store. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about being hunted down in the future, because restaurant owners are part of the Second-Hand Alley, and you can live safely for six months. The price is that you can't leave here, and every once in a while, one of your internal organs will be eaten by the curse here. When your internal organs are eaten up, you will die."

When Lin Mo heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Yang's body.

The other person's stomach was indeed very flat, the kind of abnormal flatness, as if there were a few internal organs missing from his stomach.

No wonder Xu Yang has to sit in a wheelchair.

Because he couldn't stand up anymore.

"So, you chose to be the boss!" Lin Mo said.

Xu Yang said: "I had no choice at the time. If I didn't inherit this store, I would die immediately. I couldn't afford any food at the time, so I couldn't stay in the store. Outside, there were wolves chasing me..."

Lin Mo could imagine the other party’s despair at that time.

Indeed, one dies immediately, and the other lives for another six months before dying.

As long as they are normal people, they will basically choose the latter.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die.

Lin Mo didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't know what to say now.

Xu Yang's mood recovered a little. Perhaps after going through so many things, he had already let it go.

"Anyway, I can still live for another three months, so I can count it as a profit."

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'm not satisfied with what you said. I just arrived today. Although I know the rules of the Second-Hand Alley, there are still many things I don't understand. Is there any way to remedy your current situation? I can help you."

If possible, Lin Mo is still willing to help his colleagues in the General Administration.

According to the files, Xu Yang also has a family, including a wife and children.

He is indispensable to a family.

Without this pillar, the family might break up.

"No, after becoming a restaurant owner, there is no other way. In fact, there are many people in similar situations to me, like pawnshop owners, and hotel owners... They are all desperate people like me." Xu Yang smiled: "I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't have agreed to inherit this store. Maybe I could go out and fight and escape. In that case, at least there is a possibility of leaving this hellhole."

At this point, Xu Yang pointed at the tea on the table that Lin Mo hadn't even taken a sip of. "You drink it. I didn't do anything. Don't say I didn't have that intention. Even if I did, the rules of the Second-Hand Alley don't allow it. No matter which shop owner is here, we must remain absolutely neutral and follow the rules. If we violate them, we will be punished by the Second-Hand Alley. One of the rules is that we are not allowed to attack you."

Lin Mo smiled, then picked up the cup and took a sip.

You know what, he was really thirsty.
