Chapter 5 Don't Trust Anyone

Dong Ning and the man in blue turned around a street, and then saw several pieces of paper scattered on the street in front of them.

Dong Ning walked up quickly, knelt down, and picked up a piece of paper.

"Advertising flyer..."

The advertising leaflet was distributed by a new Korean restaurant.

“Big promotion on May 28th, the first thirty customers to enter the store can enjoy a 30% discount...Korean kimchi, soju, pork belly, miso soup, bibimbap...”

"Address: No. 13, Yumu Street, Youming Town."

Youming Town?

Seeing this name, Dong Ning felt confused for some reason.

"I seem...a little familiar with this name..."

The man in blue came over, looked at the advertisement, and said, "This..."

"Elm Street..." She looked at the photo taken outside the store in the advertisement and said, "I can't tell where it is."

The man in blue and Dong Ning looked at the advertising flyer in front of them carefully. After a long time, Dong Ning folded the advertising flyer and put it in his pocket.

"Put it on you first."

Then, she looked at the man in blue and said, "Mr. Lan... Well, I thought this would be a better title, okay?"

"Yes, yes."

"What impression do you have of Youming Town written on the advertisement flyer? Can it remind you of anything?"

As she spoke, she put her hands into her pockets and grabbed the stone she had picked up before.

If the man in blue recovers his memory, it will be unpredictable for her, so she still needs to have some necessary precautions.

The man in blue looked at the "Youming Town" written on the advertisement flyer. After a long time, he shook his head blankly and said, "I can't remember. However, the name of this town really gives people a strange feeling."

A feeling of auspiciousness.”

"It doesn't matter if it's auspicious or not." Dong Ning took the advertisement and said, "There are no ghosts or gods in this world."

But when she said this sentence, she didn't know why, but she always felt a strong sense of violation.

She didn't know the reason for this sense of dissonance, it was just...a very awkward feeling.

"But I think I have some impression of this name. Maybe it has something to do with my lost memory."

The man in blue thought for a while and said, "This is normal. Whether you are a local, or you are here on business or tourism, since you are here, you must be familiar with the name of this town."

"Um……"

What he said was so true, but in Dong Ning's heart, this place name always gave him a strong sense of oppression.

"Keep walking."

There were no new clues yet, and she didn't know what to do.

After walking a few more steps, she suddenly stopped and continued to look at the advertising flyer on the ground.

The advertisements on the floor are all the same, and they are all for this Korean restaurant.

"Get up, it's a little strange."

"Huh? What's weird?" The man in blue was completely confused.

"May 28th...reward event."

"What's weird about this? It's a promotion. Maybe it's a new business, or maybe business has been bad recently..."

"If it is a new business, it will definitely be written clearly on the advertising sheet that it is a big opening bonus. If the business is not good, it should be a longer-lasting promotion and discount. This kind of promotion will basically not be available after the morning

What’s the point?”

"Is this...is it?"

"Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking it, or that the owner of this store has other promotional strategies. However, this kind of promotional method is generally used on specific dates. For example, Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc.

But May 28 is not any holiday."

"That...no, I don't understand. Even if this is a bit strange, what does it have to do with the situation we encountered?"

"Indeed...it doesn't matter..." After hearing the man in blue's words, Dong Ning was stunned. After thinking about it, she felt that he had a point. Why did she care so much about such irrelevant things?

"I think...what? You should question anything that is unnatural."

Although Dong Ning lost all her memory, she always subconsciously felt that she might be in a very dangerous situation and she had to pay attention to anything unnatural.

"Yes... maybe this is the boss's birthday or something. Let's go."

The man in blue glanced at Dong Ning suspiciously and said, "You...did you remember something?"

"No, no Sakura"

"Then you...I always feel like you're a bit arrogant."

"I won't come up either. Although I don't remember what happened before I woke up, it will still have some subtle effects on me."

At this time, she felt a little windy.

The wind blew from far away from time to time, blowing her hair up, and the advertising flyers on the ground began to flutter under the blow of the wind.

As the wind blew her bangs up, she suddenly thought of something.

"Special day...reward...could it be..."

She lowered her voice these few words and were completely covered up by the wind.

She took out the advertising flyer and looked at it carefully, then said, "Let's go look for Elm Street."

"Ah?" The man in blue was even more puzzled.

"Anyway, we don't have a special target for now, so let's just look for it. It doesn't look like there are buses in this area. Since advertising flyers are distributed here, this store may not be very far from here."

"Then...that's okay..."

Then, Dong Ning and the man in blue continued to walk forward.

When we reached the street in front, on the other side of the road, there was a row of houses that clearly looked like residential houses.

Dong Ning quickly walked up and could see clearly the scene inside the house through the security window.

The room was dark, the furniture was arranged in an orderly manner, and it didn't look like it was uninhabited.

However, after knocking for a long time, no one came out and opened the door.

"No matter where you go, there are barren houses." The man in blue felt more and more something was wrong: "Is there really no one there?"

Dong Ning looked around and said: "It seems that there is really no one in this area."

"What's going on?"

"They evacuated here in a planned and orderly manner." Dong Ning was becoming more and more uneasy: "Is it a disaster or an infectious disease?"

"infectious disease?"

"This is the most terrifying speculation. I don't hope it is. But now it seems that it is better for us to leave here as soon as possible."

"Then let's go straight towards the mountain and leave the town."

"In the worst case scenario... maybe this is the only way."

Dong Ning didn't want to go over the mountains. After all, there would be many unknown dangers. The ideal situation would be to find the phone number and contact the police.

However, under the current situation, even if you want to find a phone, you can't find it. Even if there is a phone booth, you can't make a call when you don't have a dime on you.

She raised her head, looked at the bright starry sky above her head, and continued: "Maybe we really have to consider the worst case scenario."

The lost memory always made her feel strongly uneasy.

Who is she? And why did she encounter such a strange situation after waking up?

As for the man in blue next to her, as she observed it, she felt more and more that he was not pretending to lose his memory in front of her. If he was pretending, then his acting skills seemed to be a little too good. But even so, she was still not complete at all.

Let down your guard.

Continuing along the street, this time I finally started to find house numbers at the door of some houses. The name of this street is Blackstone Street.

"Is the direction we are taking now...the right one?" The man in blue became increasingly uneasy.

"I don't know the path, I won't know until I go there."

At this time, she subconsciously raised her hand to lift her bangs, but this time, she used another hand.

However, when she raised her hand this time, she was suddenly stunned. Then, she immediately spread her hand!

I saw a line of words written on the palm of my hand.

"Open your right sleeve and take a look. Don't believe anyone!"

Seeing this line of writing, she quickly untied the cuff of her right sleeve.

"Huh? What's wrong? It's quite cold here. What are you doing with your sleeves unbuttoned?" The man in blue had a puzzled expression.

When I unbuttoned my sleeves and took a look, sure enough, there were words written on them!

It says "Your name is Dong Ning, what you want to do is..."

She was about to continue reading when she suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't open her eyes. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again...

All the words on the arm disappeared without a trace!
