The bar began to glow with glare. Lei Yue looked at a name in the "Urban Legend List" on the phone screen, his eyes stiff.
Why, these people,
All related to urban legends...
"Leizi, what are you looking at? Come over and take more shots!"
Hearing Lackey's cry, Lei Yue turned his head and saw the four people over there looking at him. They already noticed that he was looking at a cell phone.
Mohawk was still holding the fruit knife, Ayasha was holding the skateboard with a sharp blade, Lucky and Ginny were laughing.
"Oh..." Lei Yue felt blood splattering from his neck again. Maybe this is just a delusion now, but maybe it will become a reality.
These guys, who are they and what do they want to do?
Do they know about the pistol in my fanny pack...
"Hey, look, you scared Lei Zi." Lackey stopped approaching and said, "It's okay if we don't make it clear now, right? Is it time? Can his head bear it? Will it explode?"
"They are bad people, but they are not bad people, according to your standards." Ayasha said to him, and then said to Mohawk: "You are responsible."
Suddenly, the night fog rolled up, and the phantom of short and medium-colored hair and a yellow skateboard flashed past.
Lei Yue blinked and saw that Lingsha had disappeared. Apparently she also had extraordinary abilities.
Not a bad person?
He was still full of doubts, but he felt his left shoulder more clearly, and the crow's claws were indeed not warning him.
Click, several TV screens behind the bar were turned back on. They were no longer snowflake screens, but in standby mode. The speakers played some old electronic music, with weird and dynamic melody.
"I'll mix drinks for you." Ginny fiddled with various bartending utensils behind the bar, looking charming, "Handsome, what do you want to drink?"
"The second lesson is here." Lackey held up the DV camera, and the camera shot back and forth between Lei Yue and Mohawk, and said seriously: "Second lesson 'Some Theory', start filming!"
"What do you want to know?" Mohawk sat down on a high stool at the bar, "Ask now. Don't give me wine, quit. I'm drinking tea now."
"It's the fifth day of sobriety. It's amazing." Ginny whispered to Lei Yue, giving a thumbs up, which didn't sound like she was complaining.
"I don't want it either." Lei Yue walked over and sat down, looking at the expressionless face of Mohawk, with too many doubts in his heart, and asked:
"How did you do it? Don't tell me it's hypnosis. I know it's not. You can use electronic messages to influence other people's minds and order them to commit suicide."
"Because I'm not an ordinary person." Mohawk replied, without meaning to ramble, "This is my ability."
"...Ability?" Lei Yue frowned.
Suddenly, there was a rustle, and he suddenly saw that the TV screens had all turned into snowflake screens, and the figure of a burly man stood among the black and white snowflakes, looking straight at him.
The man was a mohawk. He was sitting at the bar and appeared on multiple TV screens at the same time.
Lei Yue understood that this was Mohawk's "ability". Mohawk could control electronic devices in this way.
The mohawk at the bar made tea without saying a word.
But on every TV screen, mohawks are saying the same thing:
"Alienated substance. This is a substance that we cannot see but does exist. It will change the nature of the human body, living things, time and space, and everything else.
"I don't know much about the origin of heterogeneity, and no one understands it very well, whether it's a police officer or a scientist. After decades of research on the heterogeneity outbreak that started decades ago, there's still not much fruitful results.
"It is recognized that it is an extra-dimensional force that surrounds us, penetrates us, and changes us. It comes from another world and also originates from our own bodies and minds."
Lei Yue listened, his heart beating loudly, and the answer to the problem that he had traced back for a long time was emerging through the fog.
The dangerous situation I just experienced, as well as the murder in the garbage dump, the strange mold and vines all over the place suddenly withered, and the deformed gun...
"So, you used heterogeneity to influence my mind?" he asked.
"You can say that, but in fact it's not that simple." The mohawk in the snowflake screen said again.
"This is related to urban legends. How much do you know about urban legends?"
"Not many." Lei Yue knows performances best. "I know they are some mysterious, surprising and weird rumors."
"I just checked, the Momo Challenge is an urban legend..." He looked at the mohawk at the bar, "Are you that Momo?"
Mohawk was drinking a pot of tea that he had brewed, sniffing the aroma of the tea, and couldn't help but glance at the cocktail that Ginny was mixing, and muttered: "Quit, I must stick to it this time."
"
"Urban legends will produce heterogeneity, and urban legends will also be invaded by heterogeneity."
Or the mohawk on TV is answering:
"The greater the heterogeneous intensity of an urban legend, the greater the ability of the person who owns the urban legend."
"Having... an urban legend?" Lei Yue was almost pierced through the heart by these words and woke up with a start.
Momo, Jack the Ripper, Shotgun Man...
Some answers are looming.
"I think you have heard about positive selection, negative selection and balanced selection." Mohawk continued, looking at the wine bottles.
Lei Yue nodded, "Lingsha told me that both she and I have negative choices."
"That theory is called Darwin selection. As for the extra-dimensional alien force, I don't know the principle. The extra-dimensional alien force applies this theory to urban legends: trump card, ghost card, draw, and empty card."
The mohawk at the bar took over, and at the same time, the images on all the TV screens changed, and the figures inside disappeared.
Lei Yue saw that there were four cards listed in the image, and the back of each card was full of strange and exquisite patterns, as well as a different symbol:
【√】【】【—】【○】
His eyes widened slightly. He felt like he had seen this kind of card before. It was the graffiti of the Shotgunman card from Fu Rong Market...
"Heterogeneous has given everyone a new opportunity." Mohawk said, and there was a line of text next to the four types of cards:
√,ace
,ghost card
-,draw
○, empty card
"After some people are affected by a foreign body, their physical state will change and enter the stage before foreign body resonance. This is called empty card.
"Theoretically, everyone has the opportunity to become empty. An empty card is a state of being ready to go, and it is also a very dangerous state.
"However, no one can tell who has lost their cards. Those big companies and organizations have more methods, but there is no absolutely accurate detection method that can be promoted."
As soon as Mohawk finished speaking, Ginny said proudly: "Ayasha has that kind of ability, she can sometimes see more!"
Lackey immediately turned the DV camera over and filmed Ginny's laughter as she narrated:
"She just saw that you became a blank card, and your body behaved weirder than other blank cards. She said she had never seen it before! But she knew that if she didn't help you complete the foreign body resonance quickly, your body and mind would suffer.
Unable to live."
Ginny pushed a prepared cocktail to Lei Yue, "So she brought you here. You don't have much time left."
"Oh." Lei Yue heard clearly and felt that some things were clear.
Empty card status? Am I weirder than other empty cards?
He frowned and looked at himself. Others couldn't see it, but he could feel that his whole body was rotting and blood was spurting out from his neck...
My condition has indeed been deteriorating rapidly recently. Every hour is getting worse than the hour before, and the shadow of death is constantly approaching.
He originally thought it was just because he didn't take medicine, but it turned out that there was another reason why he became a blank card...
The more Lei thought about this, he didn't feel worried, but became more energetic.
It turns out that Ayasa brought me here to save my life... It turns out that this is what she meant when she said "I don't want you to quit so soon, I just don't want to".
No wonder the crow didn't stop me before, and didn't warn me that I shouldn't come to my hometown bar.
"Alien resonance?" Lei Yue noticed the term in their words just now.
He hasn't let down his guard yet, but he wants to know the full extent of this theory.
"The empty cards are like the fetus before birth."
Mohawk started talking again, frowning and pinching his nose while drinking tea, and said: "When the fetus is born, what choices will be made, the dust has settled."
Lei Yue saw new changes on those TV screens.
The other cards disappeared, but the ghost card with the symbol on the back flipped over, and the card surface was filled with weird portrait graffiti:
It was a mysterious figure shrouded in shadow, surrounded by suspended computers, televisions and other electronic equipment. Each screen was stained with blood and full of cracks.
Under the portrait, there are two lines of blood-colored text:
【Momo Challenge】
【Momo Challenge】
"When the body, spirit, personal characteristics and unknown factors of the empty card resonate with the heterogeneous force emitted by an urban legend, alien resonance will occur."
Mohawk's tone was a little more serious, "Become an ace, or a ghost, or a draw, and become the embodiment of an urban legend until death.
"They have different abilities. The stronger the alien body, the more abilities they have. Such people are called aliens."
Lei Yue listened carefully, his heartbeat was still accelerating, the scars on his face were getting hot, and his whole body was gradually surging.
Alien resonance...
Mohawk is a mutant, Shotgun Man, and Jack the Ripper are obviously the same, as well as the big guy, and Ayasha...
And he himself is still a blank card for the time being.
"Okay!" Lackey suddenly shouted, "This expression is great, keep it like this, now I'm going to take a real video, seriously."
Lackey's voice behind the camera was more serious:
"Lei Yue, what urban legend do you think you will resonate with when you resonate with another body? Is it a trump card, a ghost card, or a draw?"
"..." Lei Yue couldn't devote himself to the performance for a while, and he didn't want to act at this time.
Lackey, Ginny and Mohawk were all looking at him, looking at his rotten face, as if they knew something about it.
After all, it was possible that he was actually filming, so Lei Yue took a deep breath and laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you are as handsome as me, then of course you are a trump card."
"Haha." Lackey laughed, then turned the camera to take pictures of Ginny, who was laughing loudly, and the mohawk with sharp eyes.
"Lucky's tip: There is a spy department called the Special Investigation Bureau, which only recruits aces and draws." Lackey said again, "Have you ever thought about being a spy? Do you think you can get in?"
Special Investigation Bureau? Lei Yue was slightly startled, and immediately thought of that big guy...
"Hey, okay, okay!" Seeing that Lackey was about to continue speaking, Ginny interrupted, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't say too much at once, his mind will really explode."
She looked at Lei Yue, winked at him flirtatiously, and said with a smile: "This is not a metaphor. In your current state, if you don't control it, it would be easy to go crazy. I can't tell you everything at once.
."
"Indeed." Lackey had said before that he was worried about whether his head would explode. "Leizi, you are already very good. You haven't vomited after hearing so much."
"I'm fine..."
Lei Yue said hurriedly, but he wanted them to tell more information, in order to judge the situation, and also because...
Idiosyncratic, urban legend
empty card, trump card, ghost card, draw
He thought about these theories, his mind was churning, and he glanced slightly at the silent crow on his left shoulder.
So, after that rainy night, this blackbird friend would lead the way, take him to the film and television city, and take him to Maiji to meet Ayasha.
I had previously wondered whether I could find out the secrets of pistols in the film and television city. With more secrets, I could use them to lead a different life.
Now, isn't it that I am already standing here, a gateway that changes my destiny?
"Only then did I realize that this was the case, that such a world existed."
Lei Yue murmured, understanding the theory of alien resonance, thinking about it over and over again, as if he saw a light in the fog.
"That's right." Mohawk spoke again, his dark eyes filled with vicissitudes of life shining brightly, "This world is much bigger than you think."
"Come sit down and have a drink." Ginny waved to Lei Yue again, "Don't be afraid, little handsome guy, making you a new star is much more valuable than cutting out your kidneys and selling them."
However, even if the crow did not give a warning, Lei Yue still did not dare to completely let down his guard, and some doubts were not resolved.
What are their plans? Do they know the secrets in my pocket...
"I still don't understand." Lei Yue decided to ask, "Alien resonance, what does this have to do with the "Dongzhou Night" you mentioned, movie shooting, acting, and stardom?"
"That's a good question. You don't understand because you have been deceived by others." Ginny smiled, "Do you know why this place is called Home Bar?"
Suddenly, before Lei Yue could think about it, there was a loud bang on the warehouse door, and someone opened it from the outside.
He turned his head and looked around, only to see a woman striding into the warehouse, sweeping her surroundings, and immediately walking towards this side menacingly.
"Sister Hua...?" He was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt nervous again. Could it be that he had sent the previous message?
The woman was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a black fanny pack tied around her waist, her ponytail flying, and she looked like a capable worker. She was none other than Sister Hua.
As soon as Lei Yue came to his senses, he suddenly ran away towards the gate and left here first!
Moreover, he did not want to drag Sister Hua into a dangerous situation, so he hurriedly shouted: "Sister Hua, don't come here, leave quickly!"
However, Lackey, Ginny and Mohawk all remained motionless, sitting or standing in their original positions.
"Ah, it's really you. I unfortunately guessed it!" Sister Hua raised her head and shouted helplessly, and then she got angry and sprayed:
"You are a bunch of scourges, you illegally crossed the border and came to Dongzhou? I heard that the shotgun man died, so you came here to join in the fun and want to make a fortune, right?"
"Sister Hua?" Lei Yue was stupid, really stupid, why did Sister Hua...Sister Hua also...?
He suddenly had a feeling that everyone around him except himself was a alien, right?
