Approaching the edge of the town, which is full of dilapidated bungalows, the sisters could already see the large "Welcome to Luanshen Town" billboard hanging high on the highway in the distance.
"Sister, do you plan to continue looking for the cliff in the diary today?" Kang Sini would not question Qu Yun, but her tone unintentionally revealed that this was not a good idea in her opinion.
Qu Yun nodded, then shook her head: "Yes, but not now. I read the diary again, and the word 'at dusk' was specifically mentioned in it.
I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after yesterday's experience, I think the world is weird enough to explain why we struggled for so long and still couldn't find the cliff that we couldn't miss anyway and the crooked-neck tree that should be very obvious according to the description.
.”
"This world will become different at dusk?" Kang Sini has obviously thought of this: "Then why are we coming here now?"
Qu Yun continued to nod: "Maybe it's not the world, it's just this Luanshen Town, or it's just a small area at the entrance of the town. Haven't we been warned more than once not to try to leave the town easily?
If things change at dusk as we expected, it would be impossible to find the hidden place now. But you should have noticed that not only does this game not directly provide game rules, there is not even a prompt to guide the rules.
what does that mean?
According to the underlying laws of Lamarck's game, the only possibility is that we have already come into contact with such clues without knowing it, or will surely come into contact with them soon.
Of course, the most likely clue at the moment is the secret hidden in the cave of the crooked old tree, but there is no absolute guarantee that it is the correct solution.
So, besides waiting until dusk, what other clues have we come across that might crack the rules of the game?"
"The pure white waiter in the bar...and the clerk at the gas station who claimed to be able to sell it to us!" Kang Sini thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Hey? Master, aren't we going to the gas station? Why did we suddenly turn here?
Is it over?"
She found that Qu Yun, who was explaining to her, suddenly turned sideways into an alley 90 degrees to the right, and began to wander sideways in this rarely inhabited neighborhood. She suddenly became confused. Qu Yun just smiled at her and winked, signaling to follow.
superior.
Kang Sini was very familiar with the master's similar behavior. She didn't ask any more questions, but secretly thought about following up, thinking about the possible situation in her mind.
Just like this, he turned left and wandered around in the abandoned area on the edge of Luanshen Town. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qu Yun suddenly stopped and said to Kang Sini: "I was followed just now. He is an interesting guy. Let's go.
Come on, go to the gas station now."
With a pair of keen ears, one can indeed obtain a lot of important information that ordinary people cannot imagine. Unknowingly piecing together secret information is the key to Qu Yun always being able to see through the situation earlier than the enemy.
A few hundred meters away, a large, colorful spider blinked its three pairs of eyes and tilted its head in a very anthropomorphic way, as if wondering about something. Then, it decisively turned around and left in the direction it came from.
It climbed very fast, far exceeding the limit of its size; it was not inferior to the running speed of ordinary humans. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the ruins of a building that seemed to have been blown up by an air raid.
Ten minutes later, a pair of young clerks were whispering at the gas station.
"ZKA-9756...I bet this is definitely the truck that came yesterday," the yellow-haired young clerk carefully looked at the license plate with twelve yellow stars in a circle on a blue background and white GR words underneath.
The head of the stage said to the girl next to him with a strange expression:
"This should be an early alienated world. There is no such country in the few earths I know of."
It can be seen that he has a deeper understanding of the heavens and realms of the multiverse than anyone else in the world, including Qu Yun and others.
The short-haired girl didn't seem to take it seriously: "Is it weird that the same car comes into town at the same time every day to deliver goods? And if you look at the level of development of the world, cars are still used. It's obviously ancient times that are several centuries later than us. You
Can you memorize the national flags and emblems of all ancient countries in the history of our homogeneous earth?
Also, I reminded you that this time the rules are weird, don’t act rashly before the leader comes, and don’t blatantly say anything that your identity shouldn’t know, even if no one is listening.”
The yellow-haired young man waved his hand nonchalantly: "You don't need to be so cautious, right? You first mentioned this topic inadvertently yesterday, but it turned out that nothing happened?
Hey, look at the newspaper in the driver’s hand. Yesterday I noticed the big headline about ‘The Most Spectacular Meteor Shower of the Century’ on the front page. Look, he is still reading the same newspaper today…”
The short-haired girl obviously did not agree with the weirdness suggested by the yellow-haired young man: "Are you suggesting that time in Chaoshen Town is flowing back and forth? This is too much imagination, right? You forgot about the pre-war mobilization meeting
Among the three principles announced by the commander-in-chief in the global speech, is there one of 'time cannot be reversed'?
The three major principles cannot be broken. If it were not for knowing the truth that we should not know, we would not be implicated in this damn [liquidation].
If you think about it carefully, how much time can a driver who drives all day have to read a newspaper besides refueling? The newspaper in his hand may be from many days ago."
"Idiot, even if you haven't finished reading, what's the point of reading the news from a few days ago? Just wait, I'll check it out." The yellow-haired young man said, then put away the refueling gun and walked towards the truck cab.
As soon as the young man stood up and left, the short-haired girl turned around and looked behind him alertly.
She saw the store manager standing behind her, looking directly at her with a complicated expression.
"Sorry, I'm going to replenish the goods right now." The girl stuck out her tongue pretending to be embarrassed, got up and walked into the store.
Unexpectedly, the boss did not get out of the way, but asked: "What were you talking about just now? The same newspaper? The same car as yesterday? And...
Time doesn’t go backwards?”
At the same time, the young man with yellow hair came to the cab window, put on a professional smile and said to the driver inside: "Master, there are fifty-six drams in total, do you want to pay by credit card or cash?"
He didn't notice that the date on the newspaper changed strangely at the moment when the driver looked away from the newspaper and looked at him, and then when his own eyes glanced at the newspaper.
