Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 272 Scarlet Apartment

At this moment, at the edge of the pedestrian street, a [-]-story apartment building...

The girl from the Insomnia Relief Center, carrying the suitcase, came to the gate.

She was introduced by an accountant friend, and heard that this apartment can be used as a place of residence temporarily, and there is no need to charge...

Living in the "Insomnia Relief Center", the expenses in that business area are very high, and I have paid a rent in advance...

Now, she has almost no cash flow in her hands.

I heard that you can live in this apartment as long as you abide by the rules here.

At the same time, it can also provide a shelter effect similar to real estate.

On some floors, you can even buy edible items at relatively cheap prices.

When she heard that there was such a good thing, she still had some doubts in her heart.

But then, more and more players settled in this apartment, and the news that came out was indeed true.

And that friend...has known him for a month.

In the world of Strange Era, it is not easy to have such a long-term fate.

As soon as she arrived at the gate, at this moment, she immediately saw that friend, wearing pajamas, standing next to a locust tree that was about to wither, with a panicked expression, looking left and right.

"Nine-tailed fox, hello."

Seeing an acquaintance waiting at the door, she immediately went forward with a smile on her face.

However, the nine-tailed fox saw the other party's first glance, scratched his head in embarrassment, hesitated a few times, and said:
"That...Xiao Ling... If I say that something went wrong with this apartment recently...do you still want to live in it?"

Xiao Ling was stunned, why did he say something wrong just as he stepped in with his front foot and before he stepped in with his back foot?

Could it be that I have awakened my wonderful physique where problems occur wherever I go?
Seeing the old friend's pale face, it didn't look like she was joking, she restrained the relaxed expression on her face, and asked a little dignifiedly:

"Maybe something happened?"

Nine-Tailed Fox took a deep breath, and then said:

"Originally, this apartment should have followed the rules, so there would be no problems."

"But I don't know why... When I go to the toilet in the past few days, I always feel as if there is a face... that is... sticking to that position..."

"However, I looked down and there was nothing in the toilet, but for some reason, that feeling actually happened."

"It's been like this several times in a row..."

"It's been confusing me lately... it's like messing with something dirty."

"But I asked other players in the apartment who were able to communicate, and they didn't seem to have such a strange experience."

"So, I'm a little hesitant now, should I ask you to come and live here?"

Hearing what the Nine-Tailed Fox said, Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, stroked his thoughts, and then said:

"That is to say... this incident is just a little strange, it only happened to you, but it hasn't brought any real harm yet, right?"

"Any weird incident can't be underestimated..." Nine-tailed Fox said with a serious face, "I experimented with the ability to record, and found that this thing doesn't seem to belong to the apartment, nor is it within the normal professional scope."

"However, it is not an illusory feeling, but a real thing. This has been verified by my ability to record."

"But what it is, I don't know yet."

"You know... the most dangerous thing in the Weird Era is the unknown!"

"Maybe it triggers some rule that shouldn't be triggered, then it's all over!"

It has to be said that Xiao Ling feels that Nine-Tailed Fox's vigilance and consideration are indeed thoughtful and correct.

It's just... I finally came here, but I heard that something was wrong with my friend and I was about to run away. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Nine-Tailed Fox sighed: "What else can I do... I was laid off by this crappy company just last month... Now it's hard to get food, let alone rent."

"Although that thing is very weird, at least it will not pose a fatal threat to me for the time being. Other neighbors have not encountered similar things, so let's just leave it at that."

"Forget it, anyway, this poor company doesn't have any good things. It only sent me a pot in the first month. However, it couldn't be directly integrated into the profession of [cook], and I replaced it with a few candied chestnuts. ...I found out later that this kind of item is a relatively elementary semi-specific item!"

"If I knew it earlier, I should have squeezed a few more times. I should be able to exchange for more resources. As an accountant, my job is to settle accounts. It is really shameful to make such a loss-making transaction! Shame!"

Listening to Nine-Tailed Fox's complaints, Xiao Ling couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but thinking about the difficult situation of the other party, it seems that such a smile is not very kind, so he should hold back...

"Okay, since you don't move away, then I don't need to be afraid of anything." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "In case you have any problems, send me a text message, maybe I can rush over to save you One life."

Nine-Tailed Fox blinked and said doubtfully:
"Are you really going to move into this apartment? Aren't you afraid that there will be some strange stories here?"

Xiao Ling sighed: "Don't talk about it...I recently lived in the pedestrian street, and only encountered a strange talk incident. There is no safe place in this world."

"What strange story incident?" Jiuweihu was startled suddenly, she didn't know that there was also a strange story incident in the place where her friend originally lived.

Xiao Ling sighed: "What other strange story incident can it be? It is the famous puppet strange story incident on the pedestrian street recently."

"You actually encountered such a strange talk!"

This time, it was Jiuweihu's turn to be surprised.

As a player who is used to surfing, of course she knows that the most vicious thing in the pedestrian street recently is the puppet talk incident.

It is said that many players died in the incident of Puppet Talk...

Even with the protection of real estate, there is still the possibility of problems.

And players who have problems, often stay in a weird, weird and ugly puppet in their real estate.

It is said that how to solve the puppet strange talk is not yet known, and even the source has not been found, which is similar to a diffuse strange talk.

Many players are looking for a solution...

According to some well-connected and experienced players, using data to make statistics...

The probability of death when encountering Puppet Talk has reached more than 80.00%!

This is an extremely high-risk ghost story.

Ordinary players, if they encounter this kind of strange talk, the chance of death is very high.

However, Nine-Tailed Fox never thought that this friend who has been in contact for so long, the reason for moving here is to meet Puppet Talk?

What is even more surprising is... With her strength, she can still stand here well?
How did this work out?
Nine-tailed fox subconsciously blurted out the doubt in his heart.

Xiao Ling recalled the experience of that period, and there was always a feeling that it was not real. She thought about it, and then she dreamed about the strange experience of working in a puppet factory and finding the help of a magical shopkeeper. , that piece of real estate miraculously became the other party's, but the puppet tales that have plagued him recently have really disappeared.

The sleep in the past few days has been very good, even normal to the point of recovering from a cancer in an instant, full of incredible feelings.

Of course, he didn't blurt out the fact that the shopkeeper knew the saint Chenxi and seemed to have something to do with Lieyang Church.

After all... To be able to connect with players of this level is likely to be a leader on the leaderboard.

Even though Nine-Tailed Fox is a friend he has known for a long time, for the sake of respect, there are some information that cannot be disclosed, so it is better not to say too much, just point it out.

"In these years... there are still such players who are willing to intervene in other ghost stories?"

Nine-tailed Fox suddenly felt a little puzzled, a little miraculous, and a little unbelievable.

As time goes by, the remaining players who can survive know how to abide by the rules of this game.

The heart of Mary, the unlucky ones, the rookies, and the part that couldn't follow the rules of the game were basically eliminated in the last month.

The remaining players are either the elite, the lucky ones who can have a stable living environment, or the old fritters who are as stable as old dogs...

According to the player's normal logic, ensuring one's own survival is the first priority.

Under such circumstances, rashly contacting the crisis encountered by other players will only increase the possibility of falling into crisis.

Unless...the kind of top boss who thinks he can solve most of the strange talk rules and obtain information clues related to game copies and special items from them, otherwise, who would a normal player care about such things?

Xiao Ling thought for a while and said:
"I can go to that restaurant to have something to eat another day. By the way, I will ask the boss if he is interested in solving your problem."

"Well... okay..." Nine-Tailed Fox nodded.

Hearing what this means, that boss still runs a restaurant?

These days, have chefs started to use spatulas to eradicate demons and ghosts?
Also... I heard that some of the more ruthless restaurants in the pedestrian street still use aboriginal people as ingredients for cooking.

That's not using a spatula to deal with monsters, but using them as ingredients for cooking!
It can only be said... this is the level of the boss!

Afterwards, Nine-Tailed Fox led Xiao Ling into the apartment, while walking, he instructed:

"This apartment currently has quite a few vacant rooms. You need to go to the front desk and ask a lady at the front desk named Sally to get the door number. From now on, it will be your residence."

"Living in an apartment, although you don't need to pay rent, you need to live by yourself for the corresponding utility bills."

"Before dawn, you must return to the place where you live, otherwise you will not be able to come back, even if you are in danger outside, don't come back!"

"The fourth to fifth floors are the dining area, but you can only enter from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] noon, and from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. At other times, you are not allowed to enter."

"When you get back to the apartment, on the hour, you can't look in the mirror..."

"Tenants need to abide by the activities on the floors they can go to, and cannot involve floors such as employee areas and office areas...",

At the gate of Scarlet Apartment, the figures of Nine-Tailed Fox and Xiao Ling walked side by side, and gradually walked in along the barren flower beds on both sides...

…………

Early morning, 06:30.

Chen Ye's figure passed through the pedestrian street, and he saw several shops with more and more traffic.

In addition to being able to see the outlines of some players, even some aborigines were attracted to them.

"It seems that the overall strength of the current players is improving."

"Some features can be used to attract traffic."

"This month's list, the pressure of competition is not small!"

Today is already the fifth day.

Shenli Yinghua and Huashao, the first and second on the list, have already broken through the 150 million mark in asset value.

Of course, due to his very good progress in the past few days, he is in the eighth position with an asset value of nearly 120 million.

With a flick of his eyes, he discovered that An Ye had a property value of 140 million, and had already caught up with the progress of the previous two.

It seems... the underground world may have a big storm coming soon!

Chen Ye didn't go in the direction of the exit of the pedestrian street, crossed Longhua Avenue, followed the road on the bridge, passed the underground entrance, and entered the underground world.

At the entrance, there are already strong mob members guarding.

In order to avoid accidents from happening...

Chen Ye didn't want to expose his own strength at this juncture, so as to clash with the mob again.

After all... In the same position, I have already dealt with a [Man in the Mirror], and one of the members - [Human Face Spider] Zhao Gao, also signed the [Devil Contract] and became a spy I sent in. ...

If the same accident happened in the same position again, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing his identity as a spy?

If you choose another entrance to the underground world, the location is too far away, and it's hard to control...

The safest way is to go to Xijiang Wharf, pass through the lightless sea of ​​dead bodies, and reach the underground world.

"correct!"

"I almost forgot... Last time I said that I would recruit a group of labor for those sons of the Sea God."

"Let's go to Lieyang Square first!"

Just as Chen Ye stepped forward and was about to walk towards the Xijiang Wharf, he suddenly remembered this matter.

He paused slightly, turned back to Chengxin Restaurant, and saw several customers who were suspected to be players, with the identities of [Dark Chef] and [Cook Chef], entered his restaurant, and frowned slightly.

"The aura of luck of these guys is not very good... However, their aura is not strong, and it seems that they are still suppressed by the king's environment. I will leave this matter to my employees."

Chen Ye probably had a premonition that some unpleasant things might happen in the restaurant, but he didn't choose to intervene, but let Wang Jing find a way to solve it himself.

After all, as one's own employees, one must have certain abilities.

You can't encounter any problems, you have to let yourself do it yourself, right?
It didn't take long.

Chen Ye's figure arrived at Lieyang Square.
