"It's my dad." The woman said helplessly: "He always likes to drink and goes to bed before dark. Don't worry, he won't wake you up. Do you have any taboos? I can cook any dish. Just have a recipe.
.”
"Let's have two local dishes." Xu Huo sat down and put a few white banknotes on the table, "I'm new here, let's try the specialties."
The woman didn't hesitate, she took the money first, then washed the fruit in his hand, "I'll cut it for you and you eat it first. You'll eat quickly."
The fruit was quickly put back on the table, and Xu Huo leaned on his chair, eating the fruit at random while chatting with the woman.
From the chat, I learned that the woman was born in this city. When she was born, the city was already managed by the player organization. She has never left this city. Almost all the outsiders she met were players, because the original people in this city
Almost all of them are criminals and their descendants, so the general environment is not very good, and no outsiders are willing to take care of them. Those with power, good or bad, can live a good life. People like women who can't even buy evolution agents need to
If there weren't a few relatives at home, I wouldn't know what it would be like here.
In the middle of the process, the woman took the time to bring him a glass of water. When she saw that the fruit on the plate had been finished, she said, "Oh, do you want to eat some other fruits? I have a few at home."
Xu Huo declined.
The woman didn't try to persuade her. When she entered the kitchen, she added: "The descendants of bad people are not all bad people, but you still have to be careful. Although some people can't do any big bad things, deception and abduction are still common."
The food was served quickly. The woman asked Xu Huo to eat, "If it's not enough, I can make more."
"No, these are enough." Xu Huo picked up the chopsticks.
It was getting dark during dinner time. The woman went to look for spare lighting tools in advance, "We have power outages here from time to time at night, and the public lighting tools cannot be used."
Xu Huo looked at the time, 7:52.
He walked to the window again and found that there was no light in the farther parts of the city. The city that seemed lively before now had almost no one outside, and the whole city seemed to be gradually being swallowed by darkness.
"How about you just stay here for one night." As the woman was talking, the light in the room went out. She pressed it several times before turning on the backup light. She looked at Xu Huo expectantly, "The room fee is okay.
It’s a bit cheaper.”
"No need, I have a place to stay." Xu Huo was about to go out, but the woman followed quickly and said: "I can prepare some midnight snacks for you. It's not safe outside after dark, so it's better not to go out...
…”
Xu Huo had already turned the doorknob, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned around and said, "What you said makes sense, I'd better stay one night."
The woman's smile paused, and she quickly led him to another bedroom, "This room is very clean. I will sleep in the living room at night. If you need anything, call me. I can prepare some fruit for midnight snack."
Xu Huo glanced at the bedroom. It was indeed very clean. The walls, floor and sheets had all been washed with detergent. The floor-to-ceiling windows had been broken, with only a curtain hanging to cover them. There was also a balcony outside, which could see the street.
The room is indeed nice, and the environment is better than the drunken and sleeping people next door.
After arranging the room, the woman left.
The city suddenly became very quiet, but this quietness did not last long. From time to time, the sound of fighting could be heard in the distance, and there were many players around the house.
The fruit the middle-aged woman gave him was poisonous, and the vegetables the young woman used to cook were themselves poisonous. The two may not be accomplices, but they both tacitly agreed to poison the food of strangers.
After the power was turned off, the woman probably didn't want him to stay there. There was also a large spring device under the bed in this room, and with the unsealed windows, it seemed like they didn't welcome outsiders that much.
In addition, according to common sense, a woman should have a motive for poisoning her food, but late at night, she woke up the man sleeping next door, crawled downstairs through the opening in the floor of the bedroom, and then passed through a room on the second floor.
The empty room on the first floor leads into the basement.
Basements are very popular here. There are almost any basements under any building. Some have been carefully renovated and can be lived for a period of time, while others are just a hole dug out to store some simple supplies.
In Sin City, players who clear the level come here to kill people. Not to mention at night, even during the day it is not safe. It is normal to want to hide in the basement. As a player, Xu Huo will also become prey while hunting. Ordinary people should avoid it.
It's not surprising to drive them.
The only strange thing is that player activity is too low after dark.
For most players, there is not much difference between day and night, and there is no strict schedule after evolution. Many people even like the atmosphere of the night and will specifically choose to do things at night. Here, it is particularly safe at night, and players do not come out to cause trouble.
, local criminals are also hiding in their own homes... If no one comes out, what dangers are there on the streets?
Moreover, there are a lot of players staring at him.
He is a new face, and he is here to inquire about things. Players with some experience should not pay too much attention to such a passer. After all, their target is a criminal. The newcomer is not yet qualified to become a criminal, and his unlock area
It has been expanded. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to force him out of the unlocked area. As for other crimes...
Unfortunately, there are no existing legal provisions. I don’t know whether the definition of wanted criminals in this copy involves damage to public property.
Letting the housekeeping robot lie on the bed instead of him, Xu Huo went to the second floor - whether there were players or ordinary people nearby, their activities were all within the building. Presumably, as long as they didn't go out, changing rooms or houses would be the same.
Less than half an hour later, there was movement upstairs. The housekeeping robot and the mattress were thrown out of the window. Midway, the housekeeping robot tried to grab the railing to save itself, but was attacked by at least six players around it. Still the same, their
The goal is not to kill the robot, but to force her to fall.
Is it illegal to go out at night?
But after the robot landed on the street, the players stopped.
Someone has identified it as a robot and made no other moves.
Xu Huo asked the robot to return to the third floor, while he went to the first floor, knocked on the floor, and asked the father and daughter to come out and talk.
The two walked out with regret and fear. The woman knelt on the ground and said, "I have no bad intentions, I just don't want you to live here. If the players start fighting, they will demolish the house. This is my home...
"
"Then you shouldn't have asked me to come to dinner in the first place." Xu Huo interrupted her, "You weren't afraid that I would demolish the house, you were just trying to harm others."
Without giving her a chance to defend, he put an injection on the table, "Do you want to speak for yourself or let it help?" ()
