As soon as the weather gets hot, Bohemia's irritability and irritability rise straight up along with the temperature - the sun is so poisonous and strong at this time that it makes the air curl up, and every second seems to be a battle against the two of them.
Human, slow and careful revenge.
"Do you have too many farts? Your butt is so big that you can't walk? Are you standing there and attracting flies? Are you a competitor with the horse manure on the roadside?"
Although the sun was scorching and the burning was uncomfortable, it did not prevent Bohemia from standing at the intersection and swearing loudly. Her words seemed to be slicing some invisible barrier thin.
Broken, when the last sentence landed, Lin Sanjiu was suddenly able to move normally, and his feet could speed up, and he caught up with Bohemia in front of him in a few steps.
"Why are you in a hurry? It's not that I won't leave," she said. "I was a little confused for a moment..."
Somehow, I still feel like crying - but grief is like a floating leaf on the water, swaying and being pushed away by the incoming waves, leaving only a vague impression.
Bohemia leaned over her sweaty face with shiny skin and looked at her suspiciously.
"You must have been exposed to the sun. Now the facial features on your face are arranged like the word "heat stroke", which is even more unsightly." She made a diagnosis, "Let's go into the tavern in front to take shelter."
She is resistant to high temperatures, so why is she suffering from heatstroke? She just wants to enjoy the cool air.
"I don't know what's going on," Lin Sanjiu said as she was being pulled into a roadside tavern: "I felt like I had just said goodbye to someone..."
"It's goodbye to your brain," Bohemia said without missing a millisecond.
Sitting in this wooden tavern that looks like it fell out of a western movie, people can finally breathe a sigh of relief after being tortured by the scorching sun.
After drinking a glass of cold water, the thorns in Bohemia were softened. She wiped her mouth, unfolded a map full of small words on the table, and said: "The pass in this small town is quite easy to get, as long as you don't follow
Just interact with the locals... This is great, I have long been impatient to talk to those NPCs, good things and bad things never escape me."
The bartender looked up from behind the bar.
The tavern is located on the main road and has not yet entered the city; so the bartender who gave them two glasses of cold water cannot be considered a local.
"It's not an NPC," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "it's also a living person...but it's restricted by the laws of the world and turned into...an existence like a replica creature?"
"Whatever," Bohemia waved his hand casually. "The difference between cow dung and horse dung."
It has been two months since they fell into the map world. They have completed the "Path of the Brave" once and reached its destination. They are now on their way to the end of the second path.
Not only are there many obstacles on each road, but they also have to collect all the clearance points to complete the level, which is very troublesome. If they could, they would also like to stay comfortably. Unfortunately, people in the map world have to constantly use their legs to measure the earth in order to survive.
right.
"How can you pass the level without interacting with the locals?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"Well, what we are about to enter is Beichengkou... There is a clearance card distribution booth at Nanchengkou. You can get it if you meet the conditions. No one is needed."
"Don't you need to go to the other two city entrances?"
"There are no other two city entrances," Bohemia showed the map to Lin Sanjiu. "You see, the entire city is just a long box surrounded by walls, with only two exits, one south and one north."
Saying it was a long box was just an impression from the map. When the two actually entered the city from the north entrance, they found that the city was more like a large rectangular prison; even with the skills and props of the Evolver
, it would probably take more than half an hour to climb up from the foot of the high wall to reach the top.
As soon as he saw the city clearly, Bohemia became dejected, and his face almost dropped to his feet.
She rarely admits that she actually has a lot of fun in the map world; because there is never a shortage of strange, majestic, or eerie fresh scenery along the way. However, when she looks around, no matter where her eyes fall,
There is always only a heavy gray wall that reaches the top, cutting off all sight lines and illusions about the world.
"Everyone who lives here must be guilty of a great crime," muttered Bohemia.
"Get ready," Lin Sanjiu reminded in a low voice, "the prompt does not allow us to interact with the locals, which means that the locals will definitely come to interact with us."
Bohemia said lovingly: "Nonsense."
...I can't get angry with her.
Both of their shoulders were tense, and they were prepared in advance. As soon as someone came towards them, they would run away - considering that the streets and alleys in the city and the apartments were full of targets that could not be interacted with, if that was not possible, they would jump.
Go up to the roof and rush towards the south city entrance by stepping on the roof.
Although this rectangular prison is really long, they can reach it in less than ten minutes if they run at full speed; it is impossible for ordinary people in the city to catch up.
However, what the two of them did not expect was that their complete preparations were of no use at all.
No one approached them at all.
In fact, no matter where the two of them go, as soon as they see their attire clearly, the children playing shuttlecock in the shadows, the women chatting, the old man repairing furniture... all of them suddenly seem to have seen a ghost, and their faces change.
He turned around and left; the window panels and wooden doors were slammed shut one after another, leaving only a dead alley in front of him.
"Ah?" Bohemia was obviously deeply offended, "How come you can't understand your own weight as a human being? If they can even look at me, it means their ancestors committed suicide early and contributed good deeds to the world. Who is hiding from whom?
ah?"
"Pass the level..." Lin Sanjiu reminded.
For the sake of clearing the level, Bohemia finally swallowed her anger and did not go to the city residents to cause trouble. She said angrily: "Where is the south city entrance!"
It seems that Nanchengkou will take the initiative to respond.
The two were walking in a quiet alley; the curtains in a window flickered quietly and were closed again.
"Did they have a brain obstruction?" Bohemia asked.
Lin Sanjiu felt that it was quite novel that she was not the one being scolded.
"I'll take out the diary card and stick it on the window sill. Let's come back and take a look later?" she suggested.
As soon as "diary card" was spoken, she suddenly felt faintly in a trance. The diary card... She seemed to be in a long-lasting dream, dreaming that it was damaged and could no longer be called out.
"I don't care what happened to them," Bohemia said impatiently, gesturing to the city wall in the distance, "I just want to leave early. This city makes me feel suffocated just by looking at it! The next section on the map
I've seen the road, there are mountains and water, it must be fun."
"Let me try it once," Lin Sanjiu said, pasting the diary card. "I promise not to waste time."
The two of them walked away slowly. After seeing that the time was almost up, they turned back. Lin Sanjiu took back the diary card. Bohemia, who was not interested just now, now put his furry head up to her chin and followed her.
Watched it for a while.
3:18PM
Middle-aged woman: Don’t look! You kid, are you going to listen?
Little girl: But...what if the two sisters also went to Nanchengkou?
Middle-aged woman: That has nothing to do with you.
Little girl: But...
Middle-aged woman: Don’t worry, you can’t change anything if you look twice. Others may notice us, and they might even think that we are spies related to the evolvers.
Little girl: I didn’t even talk to them!
Middle-aged woman: The city lord doesn’t care.
After a few seconds, the middle-aged woman sighed.
Middle-aged woman: If they have good skills and high abilities, they might be able to escape smoothly... I know you haven't given up on that idea, but everyone in this city has come here. Besides, every evolver will eventually
They are all clay Bodhisattvas crossing the river and cannot protect themselves. Looking for them is of no use, but will only lead to death.
Little girl: Well...I know.
Little girl: Are those two sisters unable to escape? I have never heard of an evolver successfully escaping from Nanchengkou...
Middle-aged woman: Well. Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s time for you to practice.
Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.
"Is Nanchengkou a trap?" Bohemia whispered, "But how can this city change the rules of the game? The introduction on the map should obviously be absolutely true."
"There are always accidents in the doomsday world..." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "It turns out that by not allowing interaction, we don't want us to discover the trap."
"You are the only one who knows everything. We can't go through the Nancheng entrance, where should we go? Why the hell are we not allowed to leave?" Bohemia became anxious, "By the way, we took the pass and ran away from the wall.
,How about it?"
This isn't a bad idea - it's just that the sun is shining brightly at this time, and the city wall is clearly illuminated. If you walk from the wall, you won't be even halfway up before you're discovered.
"Let's wait until nightfall," Lin Sanjiu advised. "There happens to be a special item that can be used to cover our tracks at night. It's just right."
Bohemian, who originally thought he could leave the city in ten minutes, now looked extremely pale. He felt like he could peel off a person's face with just his upper and lower rows of teeth.
There were really few places for them to hide; in the end, the two of them had to reluctantly go to the roof of a building and hide between a row of clothes drying racks and water tanks - the roof was completely burned by the sun.
For a whole day, it can not only make people cry, but also make a string of Bohemian curses.
"Is it almost done?"
The sky darkened little by little, and gradually became completely dark. The lights in the windows in the streets were lit up one after another. Bohemia bounced up like a spring and said: "The pass has been obtained, let's go quickly."
"Okay, just go up a section of the city wall." Lin Sanjiu looked at the high wall in the distance and said, "With such a long wall, the city lord can't necessarily have traps everywhere, right? It's not necessary."
"Stop saying a few words. I always feel that you are very unlucky because of what you say."
After nightfall, perhaps because it was cooler, the streets and alleys in the city gradually became filled with people.
As evolvers, the two of them were too conspicuous; in order to avoid unnecessary attention, the two had to walk from the roof - the direction of the roof was no clearer than the road on the ground. After walking for a while, the city wall still seemed to be standing in the same place far away.
Nor was he drawn closer.
"Have we stepped into a trap?" Bohemia's little face turned pale.
Lin Sanjiu looked around. "No, we probably went in the wrong direction accidentally... Look, below this building is a small square that we passed by before."
It was as if she had just seen the small square clearly, and the next moment, there were already many people standing in twos and threes in the square. People were still pouring in from various streets and alleys; people tightened their bodies and stood silently.
In the shadows, they looked like a flock of lost sheep in the darkness.
"What are they doing?" Bohemia looked at it and suddenly pointed downward: "Hey, isn't that the child on the diary card before?"
Although none of them had seen the child, at this moment Lin Sanjiu also strongly realized that the little girl who had just been brought in was indeed the one who spoke on the diary card before.
Do you want to ask them about the situation?
Lin Sanjiu was still stretching her neck to look, when her shoulder was poked.
"Let's leave quickly while they are all gathered here," Bohemia whispered, "I can't see that you really like to join in the fun."
"Why don't you ask what's going on..."
"Whatever happens," Bohemia said impatiently, "I'm leaving! If you stay in this poor place for one more minute, you owe me."
"That's not fair-"
"Your mother has been looking at your face for a day. Is it fair to your mother?"
Perhaps their voices were too loud. When Lin Sanjiu glanced around and suddenly saw a small face raised toward the roof, it was already too late; both she and Bohemia were spotted by the child.
The little girl looked less than ten years old. It was as if she was meeting the eyes of the Evolver for the first time. She looked dumbfounded at Lin Sanjiu. She slowly opened her mouth, as if she was about to scream, but quickly closed it again.
She turned around and looked - as if to see if others had noticed her.
Her mother remained thoughtful and silent, just like every city citizen around her, her whole mind was occupied by some kind of worry, and her eyes were darker than the floor beneath her feet.
The little girl raised her eyes again, looked at them, quietly pointed in the direction of the city wall, and nodded; then she pointed to the south and shook her head.
"Is this reminding us not to go to Nanchengkou?" Bohemia was quite satisfied, "I can't tell, this kid has a good heart - fuck you!"
She suddenly raised her voice, but Lin Sanjiu covered her mouth; no one in the square heard her.
"It's interactive!" Bohemia opened her hand and whispered urgently: "Isn't this interactive? The level pass is invalid! This is definitely the villain's plan - a good trick.
Just say nothing—"
"Calm down first," Lin Sanjiu pulled her away from the edge of the roof, "first look at the pass..."
"Residents of District 2!"
A male voice suddenly sounded in the center of the square, immediately grabbing their attention.
"The reason why you are gathered here today after a long time is because there are again 'stranded people' in our city who did not leave the city quickly after entering the city. I suspect that they are still in the second area. Is this because there are spies among you? I need it.
We will check later. The most important thing right now is that you, the residents of District 2, need to atone for your sins and not let the evolved ones escape."
A man walked into the center of the square as he spoke. Everyone lowered their heads; it seemed that no one dared to look at the thick black lines on his neck that replaced his head and face - they were completely drawn by a child with a marker.
It's a mess of black lines, but human voices can be heard.
"In order to prevent them from escaping from the wall at night, I need a large-scale 'replacement' trap. In other words, each of you will be put under my power tonight."
The mother below took a deep breath and looked at the little girl.
In the end, she didn't respond at all, just silently holding her daughter's hand.
Maybe I've been staying up too late lately. I really couldn't stay up last night. I got stuck while writing (Bohemian can actually get stuck in my writing. You can encounter anything when you live a long life). I was sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer.
I fell asleep, so I postponed posting this chapter until now. I have to write down a few dreams after Bohemia, otherwise I’m afraid I will really have to go home and type after getting my hair done on October 22nd! (No, mainly because
