Chapter 10 Outlying Town

Weissenburg is a little place that is not well known.

A long time ago, a large number of gold diggers gathered here, because it was rumored that there were countless gold in the rivers here, and the greed of getting rich overnight brought industries and populations to come here.

But as time went by, the gold scam was exposed, the factory closed down, large machinery and equipment were removed, the unemployment rate rose, and the environmental damage in the early stage was unbalanced, so this small town failed to catch up with the development of tourism in the later stage when it was in ruins. wave.

Weisenborg was so lonely.

Until now, Wissenburg is still a very remote and cold place in people's mouth, and it is a closed and backward place.But just like the good fortune of God, the forest that was destroyed by the gold diggers has been revived after people have stayed away from this area over the years.

The wind howled.

"...So this is a tourist attraction?"

Wan Lin stood in the cold wind and helped Lin Tong carry the box. He walked in front and asked loudly in the wind and snow.The bitter wind immediately blew his voice away.

"What!" Lin Tong wore thick earmuffs on his ears, his eyelashes were covered with frost, and his cheeks were sore from the wind.Lin Tong stared wide-eyed, "What are you talking about..."

Wan Lin roared loudly, "I said, how could this place that doesn't even have a suspended track train be a tourist attraction! Have you got your information?"

"Not yet!" Lin Tong roared back.

The strong wind was blowing with snowflakes, and Wan Lin immediately turned his back to help Lin Tong block all the wind and snow, and the snowflakes hit his back one by one, which hurt a little.Logically speaking, Lin Tong and the others should stay in the warm waiting room and wait for the vehicle to pick them up, or take the suspension train directly to Wiesenberg Station.

But unfortunately, this place in Wiesenberg doesn't even have a station.

Can you believe that this is an era when humans have already immigrated to Mars?

The cold wind let out a ghostly roar, and just before the two of them thought they were going to freeze to death, a second-hand suspension vehicle appeared in front of them, the driver honked wildly, and the warm yellow lights tore a gap in the pale .

"Come up!" The driver risked opening the window and roared.

Wan Lin immediately pulled Lin Tong up.

He arranged Lin Tong in the back seat, and got into the co-pilot after confirming that there was no danger around him.The driver was an elderly A, and before the other party finished running with the heater, he quickly closed the door of Wan Lin's car.

Wan Lin glanced at the other party warily.

"I'm sorry, this car is too old. I'm afraid that too much electricity will be used for heat energy. If the battery runs out in the middle of the run, we will all die here," the other party winked. It won't be discovered until next summer."

The old man told a joke, but neither Wan Lin nor Lin Tong laughed.The old man knew that he had said too much, so he coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

He held out his hand to Wan Lin.

"I'm sorry, Harlan. Harlan Loman is the owner of the hotel you contacted before. Mr. Wan, right?"

Wan Lin was silent for a second, but still shook hands.

Harlan smiled and said, "How does it feel to travel this season?"

"It feels like being cheated." Wan Lin frowned slightly, "Your hotel's information says that it is open all year round, plus the light rail arrives at the station, and there is free pick-up and drop-off."

"Didn't I come here for free?" Harlan replied.

"The transfer station and the light rail are closed. In this weather, there are not even the most primitive buses." Lin Tong sat in the back and reminded politely, "We walked for more than ten minutes before you came."

"Sorry, the operator of the station went bankrupt and closed only last month."

The old man smiled and looked back at Lin Tong. He wanted to shake hands, but seeing Wan Lin's vigilance, he took his hand back.

While starting the car, Harlan laughed and started doing business with the guests.

"But as long as you are willing to pay 50 yuan, we can sell you the right to use the station. Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Tong thought carefully, this is really a good business.But he realized something, so he sat forward.

"After the station is bought, do I have to clean up the tracks, maintain vehicles, and pay staff salaries and deicing roads? How much is the tax? Is there any discount? Why did the previous station close down?"

Harlan laughed wildly. This is an old man who is good at talking. He gave Wan Lin a thumbs up, "Your little boyfriend is really interesting and cute. Are you two coming to honeymoon? For my sake Now, I can help you upgrade your house for free."

"no need."

Wan Lin looked back at Lin Tong while looking at the scenery outside the window.The boy was quietly checking the qualifications and photos of the owner of the hotel he booked, and he was careful.

After confirming, Lin Tong quietly gestured to himself, Wan Lin smiled subconsciously, and quickly turned his head away.

At this moment, a flying car flew past their dilapidated flying car with a swish. The flickering headlights made people blinded, and the huge airflow even made Harlan's body tremble.

Wan Lin instantly memorized the license plate number and model.

"Fuck me!"

Harlan cursed and honked the horn.But after he saw through the wind and snow the latest expensive flying car in front of him with a foreign license plate, he shut his mouth again.

"Damn it!" Harlan muttered.

"The other party is not easy to mess with? You know the boss." Lin Tong was curious.

"No, it looks like someone from a big city came to solve that 'exorcism' case." Harlan pointed his direction, "How can there be any rich people in Wissenburg? I can't afford to mess with these people."

Wan Lin was taken aback, "Exorcism?"

"Yes," Harlan explained, "ghosts or something, exorcism."

After hearing this, Wan Lin immediately turned to look at Lin Tong who was sitting in the back row, and then asked again, "Exorcism?"

He mouthed silently: [The novice task is to exorcise demons? 】

Lin Tong blinked, and then mouthed in the same exaggerated way.

[I just found out too! 】

Wan Lin glanced at Lin Tong in disbelief, Lin Tong stared back, after a while Lin Tong looked away, and said in a voice that everyone could hear.

"I just heard about it. I heard that there are so-called haunted things here. But I don't know if there are really haunted here in Weissburg."

Wan Lin knew it. It seemed that Lin Tong's information hadn't arrived yet, and the other party didn't know whether he was really going to catch ghosts or fake exorcism.

But according to what Harun said, then the person sitting in the car just now should be Lin Tong's competitor.

"How can such a thing still happen in this era?" Wan Lin said the truth, and he asked, "What kind of exorcism case?"

"It's just a girl talking about her upper body. A year ago, some people even wanted to use this incident to start the tourism industry here." Harlan chuckled, "Oh, it's okay to ruin a little girl's self-esteem and earn money." what money."

"Who refused?" Lin Tong asked.

"The Town Tourist Board and the AO Inquisitors rejected the..."

Harun was about to say something more, but when he turned his head, he found that Lin Tong was listening attentively.

"What's the matter, cutie?" Harlan smiled. "Interested in this matter? Maybe the guy who investigates the case is staying in our hotel. Shall I introduce you? You can get first-hand information from him."

Lin Tong hurriedly refused, "No, no. I just listen."

Harlan looked at Wan Lin, "What about you, handsome guy? I also want to earn some agency fees or something."

Wan Lin politely declined, and this A looked at the snowflakes constantly falling outside the window, and a question appeared in his heart.

"How many tourists will come this season? Could it be only those who investigate the case?"

"Yes. To be precise, during the four seasons of the year, almost no one comes except for those investigating the case." The boss glanced at him and asked, "By the way, you two... are the young lovers here to elope?"

"Tourism." Lin Tong explained, "We didn't know that there is such a dense and primitive forest here until we saw the latest environmental assessment. It's just that you don't promote it much."

"What is the propaganda? Propaganda that we still have the original scenery here? Or superstitious witchcraft?"

Harlan laughed again, but this time it was dry, "Now is the age of high technology, half of the children don't want to stay here and fly away. The other half of the children would rather lie in the box of the brain area network for 24 hours a day. If you don't come out in an hour, this place is the epitome of the chaotic era..."

Following the voice of the old man, the two people were attracted by the light outside the window, and they had come to the center of the town.

Through the frosted glass, you can see the gleaming suspended laser billboard, which says a big Brain Area Network Pass in cursive characters, sci-fi and beautiful.There was a faint light in the window not far away. It was an old-fashioned bakery cabinet that Lin Tong had only seen in movies.

Underneath all these flashing lights, Wan Lin's eyes were sharp, and he saw the garbage left by the small stalls on the ground that were too late to collect.Most of them are cardboard boxes, and doily made of plastic bags.

The age of chaos.

Seeing Wan Lin staring at those things, the old man asked, "4 yuan is the house price here. Do you want one?"

"4 yuan per square meter?" Lin Tong was curious.

"A house with 4 yuan and [-] square meters, plus natural gas, hot water and all municipal equipment, my dear! But the maintenance fee may be more than that."

The old man turned his head and looked at Lin Tong again. After confirming Lin Tong's appearance, he turned to Wan Lin, "Your little boyfriend is so cute."

"Not yet, because I'm not good enough for him yet." Wan Lin joked, and then motioned to Lin Tong behind, "It's almost here, put on the earmuffs again."

Lin Tong nodded, the old man stopped the car, and when he got out of the car, the old man was still muttering.

"I'm really sorry about today's incident. I wanted to find an excuse. But everything here is bad, the only thing that is good is the Internet. This winter, you have only one order. Unfortunately, I miscalculated the time..."

While the old man was still chatting with Wan Lin, Lin Tong got out of the car. He hurried to confirm before everyone else that the luxury flying car hadn't come over just now.

Lin Tong walked a few steps forward in the snow, and then turned around. Only then did he have a chance to see Harlan's car clearly through the dim light of the hotel.

It is indeed a very old model, but the vehicle has been well maintained, and the paint film on the body can be seen. It seems that the old man really did not expect to be exposed to such a heavy snowstorm.When Harun came down, he happened to hear Lin Tong speak seriously to him.

"Thank you."

The old man stopped muttering, and he strode forward, taking the opportunity to sell again, "How about changing your room to a honeymoon room?"

"Thank you, no need." Wan Lin refused again.

The two of them have gone through untold hardships, but they can be considered to have found a foothold and can rest.The place is old and homey, but there is no AI.

It's true, because when technology develops to what it is now.Labor is either so expensive that no one can afford it, or so superfluous that it is cheaper than electronics.

It was an old lady who sent Lin Tong and the others up, and the other party should be a Beta, or she was too old for everyone to distinguish.The old man asked for warmth for a while, and Lin Tong and the two were so embarrassed that they didn't even have the idea of ​​leaving a message on the hotel evaluation system.

By the time everything was settled, it was almost midnight.

The two chose the simplest suite, with only half a room between the two beds, and a thin side of wood as a partition.When the sleepiness got thicker and the sky got darker, Wan Lin suddenly stared at the ceiling and Lin Tong at the other end of the room and said.

"I just asked, and the person in charge of the hotel said that the owner of that luxury car should not be staying here tonight. Maybe he didn't come to investigate the case."

Lin Tong was taken aback.

The WSJC official website in front of him was floating in the air, glowing faintly.

Private showing:

[Dear candidate candidate JSYO: No. 6593799 Lin Tong, the GPS positioning system shows that you have resisted the first relevant point of the target.After the system counts down for eight hours, all the files will be officially sent to you.Do you accept it? 】

Lin Tong clicked yes, and then pressed the terminal to his chest.

He thanked Wan Lin softly, then stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.After a long time, until the sound of snowflakes falling outside almost disappeared.

Lin Tong suddenly said to Wan Lin who was on the other side of the partition.

"I'm actually a little scared."

Wan Lin didn't know why Lin Tong knew he was still up, but he still answered.

"I thought you wouldn't be afraid, so why did you choose this case? Exorcism?"

"Because this is the case with the highest points, you can almost advance directly if you get it."

Lin Tong hugged the quilt and turned his head away, staring at the thin wooden wall, the darkness made it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

Lin Tong waited for a few minutes, and then asked, "Wan Lin, do you think ghosts really exist in this world?"

Lin Tong got the answer half a minute later.

"I hope that there are ghosts in this world, because at least it can prove that souls exist."

Wan Lin answered Lin Tong, but his eyes shifted from the ceiling to his wrist.His wrist was emitting a faint blue light in the black night, and it was going to be early in the morning. He watched the time on it jump to the number 24:00:00 little by little.

[23:59:59 The memory has not been uploaded. 】

In the blink of an eye, the data changed.

[00:00:00 The memory has not been uploaded. 】

Wan Lin looked away, he pulled the quilt, only to find that Lin Tong on the other side of the room hadn't answered him yet.

"Is there anything else?" Wan Lin asked.

"We're going to buy some equipment when we get up tomorrow," Lin Tong yawned a little. "It's too cold, we don't have enough things, and I'm not sure what will happen next. But here... here are the conditions Much worse than the capital..."

Indeed, no matter how cold the streets of the capital are, no one will freeze to death.

Wan Lin heard Lin Tong's voice gradually getting quieter. He got up and came to the partition. Lin Tong hugged the quilt and curled up into a ball like a small animal.

"Me too?" Wan Lin asked standing at the door.

"Yes! Otherwise, why did I bring you here..."

Sensing Wan Lin approaching, Lin Tong squirmed, the other party looked at him vigilantly, and fell asleep again.Wan Lin only saw the fluffy top of his hair, but couldn't see Lin Tong's expression clearly.

"Aren't you afraid of being caught first?" Wan Lin frowned.

"Dozens of people have come to that case and there is no result," Lin Tong resisted his drowsiness and replied, but then his voice became quiet again, and he shrank into the quilt, "I don't believe it..."

Wan Lin moved his lips, just about to say that the Matrix Group will send it, so you just go.But when he glanced down, he saw the string of faint blue numbers on his wrist.

[00:04:13 The memory has not been uploaded. 】

Wan Lin blinked in the dark.

At that moment, Wan Lin suppressed the tens of thousands of thoughts in his heart, and just answered softly.

"it is good."
