Dongji Town is a small town located on the island belonging to Zhouhai City, Zhejiang Province.
There are not many people.
There are only over 5,000 people, and its core industries are fishing and fish canning.
Normally.
There are few tourists here, and even few outsiders visit.
But today, the residents of the town discovered that there were two unfamiliar faces, an old man and a young man, standing on the pier.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you think the headquarters' plan will be successful?"
The girl is dressed in red and has a cold face.
The clothes were so red that they looked like they were dripping with blood.
"Do you want headquarters to be successful?"
The old man did not answer, but asked a rhetorical question.
"I have no idea."
The girl was a little confused: "I don't have much impression of the headquarters. I just heard Captain Li say that regardless of success or failure, the future era will not be the era we are familiar with."
Zhang Heng nodded lightly.
If the headquarters succeeds, there will be only one voice in the future world.
Any doubt or opposition will be met with disaster. This is the relationship between conquering and being conquered.
on the contrary.
If the headquarters fails, the consequences will be equally serious.
The existing political power and class will collapse, and powerful controllers will take their cities as their base to conquer each other, causing turmoil everywhere.
But this is a fate that no one can change.
Zhang Heng couldn't do it either, because the temptation of the eternal life catalog is too great.
Existing signs indicate that the ideological stamp + immortality catalog may be the only hope for the headquarters to break the situation. A drowning person will not let go of the straw in his hand.
drop...
Accompanied by the whistle.
Without waiting for more words, a dilapidated passenger ship slowly docked.
Zhang Heng paused with his crutches and was the first to step onto the passenger ship.
Compared with how the headquarters makes decisions, he is now more concerned about the secrets in Hongbai Village and the group of Republic of China drivers hidden inside.
"Live!"
"Ordinary people, or drivers?"
"It must be the driver. The old man's shroud and the girl's red dress don't look ordinary."
There were whispers in the cabin.
Zhang Heng looked up.
There were seven people sitting in the cabin.
Sitting alone in the very back, he seemed like a lone ranger.
Two people were sitting in the middle, a man and a woman, hugging each other, looking like a couple.
There are four other people sitting at the front, wearing the same style of combat uniforms. They should be some civilian squad.
"It's quite lively."
Zhang Heng also didn't expect that there would be so many pilots on the ship this time.
If nothing else, these should be people like Yang Nuonuo who have benefited from the land of laws.
"Old man, where are you from, the headquarters, or a civil society organization?"
"How many times have you boarded a passenger ship?"
"Are you interested in exchanging information? We are going to Red and White Village, the young couple is going to Sunset Ranch, and the lone ranger is going to Cliff Graveyard. If there is a way, we can form a team. This way, the hope of survival may be greater."
Saw Zhang Heng and two others.
Among the group of four, the person sitting at the front who looked like the captain spoke.
Zhang Heng had no reaction to this.
However, Yang Nuonuo, who was standing behind him, was a little interested and whispered from behind: "Grandpa Zhang, how about I go talk to them?"
Zhang Heng had no objection.
Didn't care either.
"My name is Yang Nuo, codename is Wedding Dress, and I come from the headquarters."
"What do you call them?"
Yang Nuonuo came forward to talk.
Not long after.
Yang Nuonuo left and returned, sat back next to Zhang Heng and whispered: "These people are from Minzhou and belong to a civil society organization. They are going to look for opportunities in Hongbai Village."
"There is a wandering salesman in Hongbai Village who buys and sells some special items."
"There is a coffin shop in the east of the village, where you can exchange candles of two different colors. If you hold a red candle, you can attend a wedding banquet, and if you hold a white candle, you can attend a funeral banquet."
"If you go through all the weddings and weddings, you will be invited to stay for a meal."
"Eating food on the table can delay the recovery of the law, and there are many houses in Hongbai Village. Some houses may contain treasures. If you win the bet, you may be able to fly into the sky."
Yang Nuonuo reported the information he learned to Zhang Heng.
Of course, the other party did not suffer a loss. Yang Nuonuo followed Zhang Heng to Heishui Town.
She also told the four people about some situations in Blackwater Town.
But there's a problem here.
How much of this information is true and how false is up to you to identify.
Maybe the other party is very kind and what they say is true. Using this information can avoid a lot of trouble.
Or maybe the other person is very bad, and what he says is all lies, and if he does what he does, he will die without even knowing how.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Heng looked at Yang Nuonuo.
Yang Nuonuo thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, but some of the information should be accurate. For example, you can participate in weddings and weddings. There are benefits but also dangers. You need to proceed with caution."
"There is a coffin shop in the east of the village. It should be very dangerous. The red and white candles are most likely real, but the price for getting them is unclear."
"The salesman can move around the village at will. If you encounter a crisis that cannot be solved, and there is no choice, trading with the salesman may be a good choice. However, I am not sure what the salesman's trading method is and whether it is equivalent.
exchange."
Zhang Heng was a little surprised.
Yang Nuonuo has only become a driver not long ago, and he became a driver through his own hands. He has not actually participated in many crisis incidents.
As a newcomer, the fact that she can think of so much useful information in such a short period of time shows that she is very suitable to be a driver. If she survives a few more times without dying, she will probably be able to take charge on her own.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you have anything to add?"
Yang Nuonuo asked tentatively.
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.
Danger and intelligence are relative, it's like playing a game and looking at the strategy.
For master players, any game can be mastered immediately, and there is no need to worry about these.
drop...
The cruise ship sets off and heads to the next stop.
The next stop seems to be Sunset Ranch.
The young couple sitting in the middle got off the boat at this stop and looked out through the boat ladder. This was a land of laws similar to the prairie.
A wrangler with red hair and one missing arm was riding on a big black horse looking towards here.
"It's him!"
Zhang Heng was a little surprised.
He is no stranger to the red-haired Wrangler, because when he used the Gate of Law to take away Zhang Yanran at the headquarters, the Gate of Law was attacked by the Wrangler.
He used only one hand to forcefully block the closing of the Door of Laws. Fortunately, the three-pointed knife in Zhang Yanran's hand was indestructible and cut off his arm. Otherwise, he might have followed the Door of Laws if it had continued.
But that's it, the arm that was chopped off still acted like a monster, flying up and attacking everyone on its own initiative.
In the end, Minister Cao personally pulled off the protective necklace on his body and finally subdued the viciousness of the broken arm.
"Grandpa Zhang, have you seen it?"
Yang Nuonuo noticed Zhang Heng's surprise.
"I've seen it."
Zhang Heng added: "The broken arm it lost was picked up by the soldier. If the soldier could come back from Rotating City, he would probably come here again."
The Wrangler is very vicious, and the broken arm he left behind is not easy either.
The soldier forcibly grafted the severed arm onto his own body. As long as he lives, he cannot avoid the trouble of the Wrangler. If he doesn't come looking for it, he will be found by it.
Of course, this is something.
These controllers of the world of laws are born today and die tomorrow. Who cares what happens the day after tomorrow?
The soldier is now following the other captains from the headquarters to Rotary City. If he dies there, he doesn't have to think about what will happen next.
"Well..."
Just thinking about it.
I saw two young lovers getting off the boat, being trampled to death by a prancing horse wrangler while the rats were scurrying around.
Only then did he realize that the young couple didn't know this thing.
"Zhang Qing and Jiang Yan died like this?"
Seeing the young couple getting off the boat, they died under the hooves of the horse without any resistance.
Others on the boat took a deep breath.
Zhang Heng was not surprised.
The Wrangler's level of terror is very high. When he attacked the Law Gate on the ship, he almost blocked the Law Gate from closing without having a dark horse at his side.
Now he is missing an arm, but he has a horse to make up for it.
His own strength has increased instead of falling. If he fights head-on, not even three or five captains can't win it.
drop...
The passenger ship sets off again.
The Wrangler had no intention of getting on board.
The drivers on the boat looked a little sad. Their strength was among the same. The rabbit was dead and the fox was sad. The Wrangler had hurt his own kind.
"Die early and be reborn early."
"People like us don't have many years to live anyway. It's the right place to die in the land of the law. At least we don't have to die in the city. When the law revives, someone will have to deal with the aftermath."
Everyone was in a low mood.
Some are world-weary, and some are happy in misery.
drop...
During a long period of silence, Hongbai Village arrived.
Different from the previous complacency and scolding Fang Qiu.
The foursome got off the boat silently, without even saying hello to Zhang Heng and the other two.
Zhang Heng understood their mood.
Each of them has great ideals and ambitions, but the gap between reality and ideals is too far.
When he was young, Lao Zhang, who said he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up, drove a taxi, and Lao Wang, who said he wanted to become a scientist, worked as a security guard.
My former deskmate was young and ignorant, with a bow tied around his neck and blushing at every turn.
Now she is wearing black stockings and lowering her head. All you can do is give her 200 more.
Life is long and water is long.
"Grandpa Zhang..."
The ladder to get off the boat is very steep.
Yang Nuonuo approached Zhang Heng thoughtfully and wanted to help him.
Zhang Heng waved his hand and chose to refuse.
He is not as old as he looks and needs help when walking.
"Red and White Village!"
Get off the boat.
Looking at the village in front of him, Zhang Heng showed a look of nostalgia.
The quaint villages reveal the atmosphere of the Republic of China everywhere.
For a moment, it seemed that he was taken back to the Republic of China era.
"Um?"
Zhang Heng raised his head slightly.
He felt peeping, and there were more than one glance.
It seems that there are indeed some rotten old monsters hiding here, and his arrival has alarmed them.
otherwise.
If it were a strange existence that was alarmed, it should have appeared by now.
Not showing up meant that the other party knew him and was wary of his arrival.
"ah!"
Just thinking about it.
A scream was heard in the distance.
Zhang Heng looked up and saw that it was a coffin shop. The foursome went straight into it after getting off the boat.
Now I don’t know what went wrong. Along with the screams, only three people escaped, and one person disappeared without a trace.
"Walk."
The death of his companion may not be meaningless.
The captain at the head was holding two thick white candles in his hands. He was panting and had a crazy look on his face: "Go to the white banquet, don't let the third child die in vain."
It was very quiet inside the coffin shop, and nothing came out.
However, as time passed, the sound of chewing echoed in their ears, indicating that it was not a good place inside.
"Grandpa Zhang, should we go in and take a look."
Yang Nuonuo witnessed everything and said cautiously: "Those white candles may be of great use."
Zhang Heng glanced at the coffin shop, then at Yang Nuonuo beside him: "Go ahead, I won't need this thing."
Yang Nuonuo felt a little guilty.
The reason why she wanted to call Zhang Heng was because she was afraid of encountering danger in the coffin shop.
Now that Zhang Heng doesn't go, what will she do?
If you back off, wouldn't you be looked down upon?
"I can."
Yang Nuonuo took a deep breath and walked cautiously towards the coffin shop.
Zhang Heng ignored it.
Yang Nuonuo is not a short-lived person. Her wedding dress ghost comes from Hongcun. When she comes here, she is just like home. She should...
"Grandpa Zhang, save me!"
No time to think about it any more.
With a scream, Yang Nuonuo ran away from the coffin shop like crazy.
Zhang Heng looked back.
In front of his eyes, a coffin maker holding an iron saw slashed Yang Nuonuo's waist.
A whooping sound.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and Yang Nuonuo was chopped to the ground directly from the waist.
She looked at all this in disbelief and crawled forward with both hands, her intestines flowing all over the floor.
"Well..."
As Zhang Heng watched, the coffin maker picked up Yang Nuonuo's lower body and fed it directly to the black coffin in the coffin shop.
I don't know what's in the black coffin.
The sound of chewing was everywhere, as if you were eating happily.
"Since ancient times, beauties have had such a bad fate!"
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.
He poked the ground with the crutch in his hand.
The next second.
Time went backwards and quickly went back to one minute ago.
"Grandpa Zhang, should we go in and take a look? Those white candles may be of great use."
Yang Nuonuo stood beside Zhang Heng and spoke cautiously.
Zhang Heng looked at her quietly.
Yang Nuonuo felt a little numb at the sight, and whispered in confusion: "Grandpa Zhang, what's wrong?"
"You've already been there once."
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly: "It's not good. The wedding ghost has no face at all. The coffin maker will saw you in one go."
Zhang Heng made gestures on his waist.
"ah!"
Yang Nuonuo subconsciously covered her waist.
After doing all this, I thought that Grandpa Zhang should have restarted time and saved himself.
It's just that I am not protected by time and have forgotten this memory.
"I guess I didn't do something right."
"The coffin shop should not be a place where one must die, otherwise the four civilian drivers would not dare to enter."
Yang Nuonuo quickly turned his brain: "I will die, maybe because the four of them have attracted danger in the coffin shop, and I entered at the wrong time."
Think of this.
Yang Nuonuo calmed down, stayed beside Zhang Heng obediently, and said in a flattering manner: "Grandpa Zhang, let me go for a walk with you."
Zhang Heng had no objection.
Hongbai Village is very big, and he doesn't know where the old antiques are hidden, so he just wanders around.
Jingle Bell...
The way forward.
This should be the area of Baicun Village, where every household hangs white lights and the doors and windows are closed.
Zhang Heng walked for a while but didn't find anything.
I don’t know if these law spirits in Bai Village went to the graveyard behind the village to be buried, or if they were lured away by those small groups of civilians.
Jingle Bell!!
There was another burst of copper bells.
Zhang Heng stopped and looked towards the empty intersection.
Enter the eyes.
A salesman, ringing a bell in his left hand, holding a flag in his right hand and carrying a wooden box on his back, was wandering aimlessly.
Whoosh!
Eyes facing each other.
As if he had touched some taboo, the salesman appeared directly in front of Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng looked at him.
I found that there were small characters written densely on the flag of the salesman.
Identify one or two.
This is like a demand list, with things the salesman wants on it.
Required items: Wedding dress rules.
Exchangeable types: To be determined.
"Wedding Dress Rules!"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and glanced at Yang Nuonuo next to him.
Grab it and hand it to the salesman.
Yang Nuonuo looked at all this with disbelief, and even forgot to resist.
The next second.
The salesman readily agreed, and with a hook, Yang Nuonuo flew directly into the cargo box behind him.
After doing all this, the salesman thought for a while and handed Zhang Heng three red, three white and six candles.
Zhang Heng frowned slightly.
The wedding dress rule can only be exchanged for six candles. This is not a loss to grandma's family.
Boom!!
The crutch fell to the ground.
The time restarts and returns to thirty seconds ago.
at this time.
The salesman just showed up.
Yang Nuonuo looked at it with a cute expression.
After studying for a while, he whispered from the side: "Grandpa Zhang, it seems that it wants to acquire the Wedding Dress Law."
