Chapter 572 Purgatory before the disaster (twenty-seven)
Those people were very strange.
It was so strange that Lu Chu Eleven could almost tell at a glance that they were different from other residents of this city.
There are several people of different ages, the youngest is only seventeen years old, and the oldest is in his thirties. In terms of gender, there are five men and two women...
Why does Lu Chushi care about this group of people?
In fact, we can't blame him. The main reason is that these seven people have behaved too obscenely. They have been squatting near Li Yayu's house every day since they appeared. They are like illegal elements preparing to do something, which is extremely outrageous.
The younger ones always have nervousness written all over their faces. They seem to be doing something shameful and are not mentally prepared yet.
The older ones, on the other hand, had serious faces.
The other party must have played a leading role. Lu Chushi found that almost all of them were following the other party's instructions, such as taking shifts to observe Li Yayu's house, or running errands to other places to inquire about news...
...
"What are you doing here?"
One or two days is fine.
But as time passed, Lu Chushi couldn't hold back his curiosity, although rationally, he knew that he shouldn't ask this question, as it would probably get involved in other things.
But curiosity is something that, for one thing, is really difficult to overcome.
Seeing how several people were sneaking around every day, Lu Chushi finally couldn't hold back his doubts and asked.
"us?"
The leading man pointed at himself, then looked sideways at the so-called teammates beside him, and finally gave an answer that no one would believe.
"We... hahaha, we just finished dinner and are ready to go out and take a walk."
Just take a walk?
Unless Lu Chushi was an idiot, there was no way he would believe what the man said.
His eyes slowly moved over the faces of several people, and Lu Chushi saw a mixture of nervousness and vigilance on the faces of other teammates.
"Aren't you just relaxing?"
"You see he is sweating profusely, and you have been sneaking around here for no reason during this period. How can you relax like this?"
Lu Chushi bluntly exposed the man's lies.
obviously.
When he saw the youngest boy, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously hid behind his teammates as if he was afraid of himself.
Am I that terrible?
Lu Chushi was even more confused. He really couldn't understand what these people were doing.
"No, it's not."
"We live near here, but when we found it in the past few days, we found that the scenery is pretty good. If he is sweating, it may be because we just finished running."
Men are full of lies.
Yes, indeed.
The scenery here is indeed quite good. In the heavy snowy sky, as far as the eye can see is a vast expanse of white. Even if you take a random photo, others will know it is a scenery photo.
But Lu Chushi has lived in this neighborhood for so long, and he has met almost every neighbor in the neighborhood at least once. How could he not know whether these people are residents of the neighborhood?
"That's it..."
Lu Chushi had no intention of asking again.
He personally felt that since a man was determined not to tell the truth, there was no point in asking him any more. There was nothing he could do if he couldn't solve the problem of curiosity. Just do as you like.
After casually saying hello and leaving, Lu Chushi could hear a long sigh from behind that made his heart finally drop...
"What's going on? We've been here for so long and no one has come to ask, how did this NPC notice us? Is he related to the plot?"
"have no idea......"
"Try to avoid him next time. Although he was not mentioned in the information we got, in a place like this, everything must be done with caution."
"If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. Can you understand?!"
"..."
Lu Chushi has very good hearing.
This comes from the talent he was born with.
Well, to be precise, Lu Chushi's five senses were much better than normal people. Even if he walked a little further, he could still hear the conversations of several people word for word.
Well, who do you criticize?
Plot?
Lu Chushi couldn't understand their conversation, he just thought it was extraordinarily strange...
After returning to the bridge tunnel, he thought that because of his appearance, those guys would be able to restrain themselves a little. After all, if they were really criminals, they would be noticed by others.
Usually they change their targets, or they lurk for a few days, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
However, a few people do not have such awareness...
They still did whatever they were supposed to do, and they still took turns squatting at the door of Li Yayu's house all day long. When Li Yayu went out, they would follow her like a stalker.
Well, honestly.
This scene is quite scary...
Which normal person would be happy to be followed by a group of perverts? Just thinking about it would make him feel that his life safety is threatened.
Their tracking technology is not good at all, it can even be said to be excessively rubbish.
Lu Chushi thought that Li Yayu could detect the abnormality, but Li Yayu seemed to turn a blind eye to a few people and continued to live a normal life.
The days pass...
Lu Chushi also became more and more familiar with these despicable thieves.
They don't have much money on them. They eat what others don't throw into the trash can every day, and then they dig it out and eat it. They are no different from those destitute beggars.
Fortunately, the weather hasn't been too high recently, so the food they eat is basically good. Except that it's not very hygienic, at least it doesn't have insects or mold.
The mental state of several people is getting worse day by day.
Their reaction when they saw Lu Chushi was similar to the result of their discussion that day.
As long as Lu Chu Shi appears in the field of vision of a few people, they will subconsciously distance themselves from Lu Chu Shi and act as if they want to eat them...
Gradually.
Lu Chushi's doubts about several people were at their peak.
Later, he used the money he saved to enter a black Internet cafe and used the computer to search for unfamiliar words spoken by several people at that time. Although the process was not smooth, Lu Chushi didn't know anything about computers.
But after a lot of hard work, he finally learned what the conversation between several people that day meant.
"It turns out that this is what NPC writes..."
"Usually it refers to a group of set characters in the game. They are not controlled by the player and have no self-awareness. They generally only act according to what is recorded in the code."
"Tsk, what is the game?"
Lu Chushi spent a long time in the Internet cafe.
Thanks to the fact that he has not just arrived in this world, he has some understanding of other things.
After several days.
He finally found the information he wanted to know.
However, when he came back to his senses and thought about the conversation between several people that day, Lu Chushi still didn't understand why they said that.
The fact that he was called an NPC puzzled him.
"A soulless, predetermined character."
"By talking about me like this, is it possible that you are scolding me in disguise?"
Lu Chushi couldn't figure it out.
Of course, before he could figure it out, he discovered that the behavior of several people seemed to have changed a bit...
They are no longer limited to observing Li Ya from a distance.
On the contrary, they are trying to get closer to Li Ya...
It seemed that after a very strict discussion, they finally sent two men to approach each other. This was noticed by Lu Chushi, who was carefully observing the incident.
It's not difficult to get close to Li Yayu. Just find some excuses and topics, and that's it.
This is how people communicate with each other.
Just ask if you had breakfast today, or if you look very happy today, what happened to you, and the conversation will naturally open up.
There are no people who can't communicate, there are only people who don't want to communicate...
Although the two men who were sent out were very nervous, they completed their mission in the end.
Li Yayu has a cheerful and approachable personality, and she doesn't refuse anyone who comes.
As they communicated and became more and more familiar with each other, both men gradually relaxed their vigilance...
Lu Chushi didn't observe for a while.
After all, curiosity only lasts for three minutes. After that time, Lu Chushi's curiosity dropped a lot and he stopped observing them.
After all, he has his own things to do, such as figuring out what is going on in this city, whether he has any other easier ways to make money, etc. He cannot always focus on a few people.
And it happened to be during this period that Lu Chushi was not clear about.
Something big happened...
The remaining five people's faces were full of fear, tension and despair from unknown day. In fact, they no longer observed Li Yayu like they did before, but instead found a place to hide.
Why did Lu Chushi know that they were hiding?
By coincidence, the hiding place they found was the bridge cave where Lu Chushi lived.
When these unfamiliar yet familiar faces appeared in front of him, Lu Chushi wondered if he had seen it wrong. Why was the place where he slept so secretly, and someone came up to him?
Several people's fear of Lu Chushi was very serious at this moment.
At first they just subconsciously avoided it, but now after seeing Lu Chushi, they all chose to run away.
This directly raised Lu Chushi's curiosity to its peak. He didn't think he looked scary, so he immediately captured a few people and prepared to question them thoroughly.
All right.
Arresting people or something...
These are not difficult problems for Lu Chushi.
As mentioned before, his five senses are different from ordinary people. Likewise, his strength, speed and reaction ability are also much higher than those of ordinary people.
It is not difficult for him to catch a few guys with no special abilities, but it is actually quite easy.
"Why did you see me running? Am I so scary?"
"No, no..."
"No? Do you think I'm stupid? I ran so fast just now. Now tell me no. Tell me honestly."
"No, we really didn't run when we saw you, we were...oh yes, we came out to exercise and run!"
"Can you reach the bridge hole by running?"
"..."
"You'd better answer properly, and also explain your previous conversation and why you called me an NPC."
"npc?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid. You have said that my ears are better than you think."
"me......"
Interrogation requires means.
Lu Chushi just has a simple brain circuit and doesn't care much about emotional issues. He is very open-minded about many things, but this does not mean that he is an idiot and doesn't understand anything.
Since they were afraid of him, he just took advantage of their emotions.
Say some harsh words appropriately to scare the other person.
Those with weak psychological qualities will quickly tell the truth.
However.
After listening to the explanations of several people, Lu Chushi felt that his cognitive outlook had been completely refreshed...
According to their description, this world is actually purely fictitious. None of the people or things in it are real. They were all brought here from another world and had to complete some things that needed to be done before they could
Able to go back.
In addition, they also added that there are actually scary things in this world, and those things may kill people at any time, so they remain vigilant and afraid of everything.
For them, Lu Chushi's sudden appearance was not within the scope of the plot...
Because according to the normal setting they got, no one would care whether they were close to Li Yayu, even if they were curious and asked, subconsciously, they regarded the heretic Lu Chushi as something strange.
Think this is an accident.
"False world?"
According to several people's descriptions, this world is called a world of horror. There are incomprehensible things like ghosts and monsters here, which may break out and kill people at any time.
According to the clues, the weirdness in this world is Li Yayu herself.
Their purpose is to steal something from Li Yayu so that they can return to reality.
Well, these explanations are far-fetched.
It’s also hard to accept…
After so many years of living, Lu Chushi heard about the existence of another world for the first time.
This is not some novel, movie or TV show, it actually happened around him. Moreover, he has become an NPC in the horror world. How can he accept and believe this?
At least, the former Lu Chushi would not believe it.
It's just that after realizing the weirdness of this world, Lu Chushi began to think about the explanations of these people.
It is one thing not to be able to find jobs in the city, but it is another thing for students to study the same textbooks over and over again.
One more question...
It was Lu Chushi who actually tried to leave here during this period, thinking of going to other places.
Unfortunately, the result he got was that he couldn't get out.
It's not like that, there's some air wall barrier or something like that.
Instead, after buying a ticket, the car will suddenly stop unexpectedly and the ticket will be refunded.
Lu Chushi couldn't buy air tickets or anything like that. He didn't have an ID card, but for this passenger bus, he found that as soon as he bought a ticket, it would stop running.
He had thought about walking.
Just walk out on your own two legs...
But no matter what, the road he chose was always under construction, and he couldn't even walk, as if he was firmly trapped in this city.
The two men sent out to approach Li Yayu disappeared.
This is what they told Lu Chushi.
According to several people, the two men never came out after being invited to Li Ya'u's home one night. They suspected that the two men were probably killed by Li Ya'u, and their bodies were hidden in each other's homes...
...
Recalling the smell of blood that I had smelled before.
Lu Chushi felt that it was possible.
After interrogating everyone, in order to confirm his suspicion, he decided to go to Li Yayu's home to take a closer look...
