Deep in the Living

Chapter 378: Danger-free Street

In fact, for the three people at this stage,

Things like buses pose no threat. At least Rody can use the weapons he brought from hell, which can be used to slaughter giant beasts, to directly split the bus in two.

But the three of them chose to dodge at the first opportunity.

the reason is simple,
This bus, which is defined as a "transportation tool", is likely to be an important medium for traveling to the next area or even for deep migration.

Yu Ze also used his finger to pop out a yellow talisman and stuck it under the car, which could be used to confirm whether there were any threats inside the car and to detect the direction of the bus.

However, after quickly passing the intersection, the bus gradually slowed down and stopped at a bus stop not far away.

None of the pedestrians strolling at night boarded the bus, and the passengers on the bus did not get off... The open door, with light seeping out, seemed to be waving to the three people.

When the car door was about to close,
Snapped!
A hand blocked the car door and the team arrived.

However, the hand that was scratching the car door was not Luo Di's, but Yu Ze's. Considering the potential threat, many subjective actions of this exploration were left to Yu Ze.

His eyes under the sunglasses were completely closed, and then pressed tightly with the Five Emperors' Coins, in case the clown was on the bus, or the bus itself was a corner product created by the clown using the monster's characteristics.

Just as Yu Ze was about to get in the car,
An arm tied with a red knot blocked the front, and the ticket collector sitting in the first row of seats stuck his head out. He looked similar to a pedestrian, with his face covered by black hair.

At the front of the arm was a special wooden toll box with four words written on it in red paint.

Buy a ticket and get on the bus

Luo Di and You Zhen were both standing outside the bus and didn't look inside. Only Yu Ze was responsible for the negotiations.

Yu Ze took out three different kinds of banknotes from his pocket.

Including the ruble, which is the most circulated currency in the United States, as well as the US dollar and the RMB.

But when faced with different types of banknotes, the ticket collector kept shaking his head, and it felt like he was about to shake his entire head off.

Yu Ze suddenly used two fingers to pick up a corner coin. Unexpectedly, as soon as the coin appeared, the ticket collector became excited and kept moving the box in his hand closer to Yu Ze, almost squeezing him off the bus.

The eyeballs under the black hair were fixed on the coin, eager to throw it into the wooden box.

Yu Ze's attitude changed, and he took a step back. "Sorry, we seem to have left something in the hotel. Let's take the bus later."

The doors closed and the bus left.

Obviously, the dime can be used to take the bus, but the price is too expensive for a few newcomers like them, and it may not necessarily lead to the deep areas.

The most important thing is that this area has not been explored at all, so you can wait until the exploration is completed before considering whether to take the ride.

Youzhen also speculated based on her past experience: "Since this train has appeared here before, it should come again in the future. Don't worry."

The exploration begins.
The intersection corresponds to four completely different streets.
The team will randomly take one of the paths.
Although it was dark, all the shops downstairs were open for business, even the breakfast shop selling steamed buns was open, and there were even a lot of diners sitting inside.

However, these diners were just like passers-by, covering their hair in front of their faces. Although there were buns in front of them, they showed no signs of eating.

There were also a few children crowded in front of the glass cabinet of the convenience store, with their heads down and doing nothing.

In the barber shop, black hair piled up half of the space, and there was a long line at the door. However, the shop owner had no intention of cutting hair at all, and just stood behind the customers without moving.

Disharmony and incoordination filled this street.
This kind of scene similar to human society is all simulated by the entity of fear. It just looks very similar to urban life on the surface, but the reality is completely different.

Luo Di asked, "What would happen if we killed people on the street or robbed them of their property?"

Youzhen immediately made a gesture to stop them, "Deliberately destroying the existing rules and systems will attract the targeting of the terrifying entities.

Simply put, the corner will assume that you are here to cause trouble, not to explore and grow.

The corner will punish troublemakers.

You will be targeted by fear everywhere, and all your actions in the corner will be blocked. In serious cases, you may be swallowed up by the corner and disappear completely.

We need to follow the "rules and regulations" shown in the corner as much as possible, don't make trouble, and explore normally. Just like we are at the train station, be a normal passenger.

Now that we are in the neighborhood, we just need to be good 'pedestrians'." "I see. Since the bus costs money, can we make money as pedestrians? For example, we can do odd jobs in these stores. I have seen recruitment notices in some stores."

“Perhaps, but this overt method often makes it difficult to find a deeper solution. Based on experience, it is best for us to conduct a simple search of the four streets first.

Besides, we'd better not waste time... after all, there are monsters watching you, Rody."

"Ah."

When the team reached the end of the current street, it was shrouded in a dark fog.

The moment they stepped in, they were directly returned to the original intersection. This design was convenient, and the team began to explore another street.

that's it.

It took less than half an hour to complete the basic exploration of the three streets.

The specific length of the street, the layout of street lights, the structure of each store, the structure of the building, etc. were all memorized.

There were no abnormalities during the entire exploration process, and no events were triggered.

Moreover, the bus will come every ten minutes, so there is no need to worry about missing the bus.

In addition, no "factors" related to the clown have been found so far, and everything in this neighborhood currently appears to be safe.

Standing at the crossroads again, the three members of the team turned their attention to the last unexplored street.

Yu Ze was still walking in the front, Luo Di was in the middle, and You Zhen was at the rear.

There is an invisible thread connecting them, and anyone leaving the team will pull the thread.

The last street was not much different from the previous ones, with the same pedestrians and shops, the same building structures and street light arrangements.

The only difference was that one of the street lights had a broken bulb.

Youzhen, who was walking behind, had already begun to give the next direction for exploration:

"After the initial exploration of the four streets, if nothing is found, we will need to explore further... These old buildings also need to be searched one by one, and we may need to go into them and say hello to the residents."

Rody asked: "Are there no monsters living here? Or do the houses here not correspond to the monsters' residences?"

"No one will buy shallow-surface properties. There is no point. The concentration of fear and resource opportunities here are too low and too few. The deeper the area, the more valuable the property will be, and of course the price will be relatively high.

at present……"

Gah!
The cry of a crow interrupted Youzhen's speech.

Rody immediately connected his tentacles into the crow's body to obtain synchronized vision.

Yu Ze quickly sensed the situation around him, holding a talisman between his fingers, "Fellow villager, what do you say? Did you see the danger?"

Rody did not respond verbally, but raised his hand to indicate that they were not in any danger at the moment, it was just that Crow Colt saw something that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

He moved towards the broken street lamp.
Bend down,

A crumpled piece of paper was accurately pinched out from the dark, damp sewer entrance that was filled with garbage and hair. Judging from its wetness, it must have landed here not long ago.

I opened the note and saw
Suddenly, there were two big words written in blood inside, and the words formed by the blood were keenly captured by the Crow Horse.

【Help! 】

Luo Di immediately looked at the old building behind him.

[Regent Hotel] A few red words were pasted on the very top, and only a few of the small light bulbs hanging above were still lit.

"Did it fall from above?"
