Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chen Ye's figure quickly appeared at the intersection of the old city.

at this time.

The halo of luck hovering in front of him suddenly became colorful.

White, yellow, green, red...

Colorful, kaleidoscope-like lines interweave on the pavement of the pedestrian street.

Chen Ye suddenly glanced at the street and found that this road was full of people!

Residents wearing ordinary shirts and looking numb, crowded in a huge sea of ​​people, walked like machines on the pedestrian street, as if they were shopping, but also as if they were aimless ghosts.

On both sides of the road, rows of passers-by stood, some holding umbrellas, some pushing carts, some eating kebabs... When the traffic lights turned on, they crossed the road in uniform steps. .

When the green light disappeared and turned into a red light, a little boy standing on the edge of the road was suddenly pushed by something unknown and rushed towards the other side of the red light.

Panic flashed across the boy's expression, and he looked left and right, not knowing where to go.

Suddenly, a car as dark as ink drove from the side, honking its horn frantically, and the piercing whistle suddenly cut through the night sky. The whole world was noisy like a boiling cauldron.

The boy was completely panicked and ran to the other side of the road.

But the moment he crossed the zebra crossing and stepped into the intersection of red lights, his figure suddenly disappeared.

It's like being erased with an eraser!

Opening the Eye of Destiny, Chen Ye saw countless pale hands pulling the boy to a certain place... As for where he went and what his end was, he didn't know.

He ran through the noisy pedestrian street, his heart beating wildly and his brain working rapidly.

At that moment, Chen Ye's intuition had an extremely strong premonition - if he stayed there and took a few steps slower, he would probably die!

The voyeuristic feeling of being seen through a secret seemed to turn into a pair of devil's eyes, staring at his back.

Fortunately, when Chen Ye left the old city and walked out of the intersection, the signs of death from drowning gradually disappeared, but the feeling of peeping was still there...

At this moment, Chen Ye only had one thought in his mind, to return to the alleys of Xining as quickly as possible!

He walked through the crowds and along the road shrouded in white mist, avoiding danger.

beside……

When pedestrians with numb expressions met Chen Ye, they backed away and gave way to a path.

They seemed to smell the blood on Chen Ye's body and were unwilling to get close, for fear that disaster would affect them.

"As expected of a good citizen, he generally bullies good and fears evil." Chen Ye complained silently, calming his still pounding heart.

Fortunately... residents in the Strange Era generally have a relatively strong survival instinct. When encountering a spy who is stronger than yourself, or when you are threatened, you will take the initiative to avoid it.

It is the instinct of these aborigines to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Therefore, when Chen Ye was still a "wanderer", he might encounter disaster if he raised his head. But now, when his eyes fall on other ordinary residents, they will have to be careful if disaster befalls them!

Even when walking in extremely high-traffic areas, the safety is much higher than at the beginning.

He no longer lowered his head to look at the bloody cell phone. There were too many people around him, their fates were constantly intertwined, and the aura of luck was chaotic. Sometimes the safe roads shrouded in white mist were crowded with numb aborigines, and some even wanted to use [Wanderers] The ability of "Boots" is to quickly cross several steps and bypass several unsafe places before reaching the target location.

After sweeping away the calmness of the streets in the early morning, not only were there a large number of pedestrians on the pedestrian street, but most of the shops on both sides were open for business, with bright lights shining from the windows.

At this moment, Chen Ye passed by a hot pot restaurant, and the outside of the store was crowded with customers waiting in line.

Through the glass display window of the shop, you can see customers in ragged clothes sitting on the seats next to the window, devouring hot pot. After he finished eating, he looked around, as if he was not prepared to pay, so he found an unattended moment and prepared to run away.

Unfortunately, a waiter stopped at the exit and showed the bill in his hand. You can see that the guest is quibbling about something, waving his hands, shouting loudly, with a ferocious face and bulging veins on his neck.

The waiter was patient at first, but he seemed to be getting more and more impatient, and finally threw the rude guest into the hot pot, which was rising and falling with the scalding water.

Around the corner, a cafe was filled with men in suits. The coffee they were holding was full of blood.

When they drank it in one sip, there was an intoxicated look in their eyes, as if they had forgotten themselves and were drunk.

Vaguely, you can see a few transparent shadows in the cafe, floating like ghosts.

When Chen Ye passed by this cafe, he suddenly noticed that the air around him was a bit colder.

He glanced around and found that there were countless chaotic lines intertwining in the air of the cafe, forming a mess. It seems that there is some invisible and unknown existence, hiding and wandering in it.

The promotional sign at the entrance of the coffee shop has the title of the store's signature drink - Bloody Mary.

Price: Free!

These shops are all surrounded by a strong black aura of evil spirits, rushing toward them.

“The folk customs here are really good!”

Chen Ye sighed inwardly. It was indeed a new dungeon that he had never seen before. It was much more exciting than the "Secret Sea Area", "Amusement Park Haunted House", and "Ghost Story Academy" that were previously known as S-level dungeons!

Scanning them at will, there are at least several kinds of tricks that I have never seen before.

Each of these stores is basically equivalent to a copy of the weird game. Players enter the challenge and either become rich overnight or lose nothing.

Fortunately...if you don't enter the store casually, there will basically be no problems.

The bustling shadows passed by Chen Ye, and the faces with human faces did not look like normal people at all.

Chen Ye's peripheral vision swept across the various faces, and he suddenly felt as if he was visiting a wax museum. He unconsciously felt uncomfortable in his heart, and a word popped up in his subconscious -

The uncanny valley effect!

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of many players' feedback on the forum: "Don't go to the pedestrian street at night, it's hell!"

For players who are originally normal humans, this place is indeed no different from an endless hell.

It's like ordinary people going to the most terrifying haunted house in the world, but the ghosts inside are not fake. They are all crowded around. If the psychological quality is not good, they may lose consciousness on the spot.

However, Chen Ye thought that as a [devourer], he seemed to be no different from the aborigines here.

We are all of the same kind.

After calming down my racing heart, I naturally integrated into the folk atmosphere here, and followed the safe white halo line back to the alleys of Xining.

Places with higher traffic are concentrated in prosperous areas.

Finally, after leaving the noisy pedestrian street and arriving at the intersection of Longhua Avenue, the crowded figures were left behind, and the air became fresher.

at this time……

Across the road from Longhua Avenue, a clown figure suddenly appeared!

Chen Fang took a quick glance and his eyes fell on the clown mask, and a feeling of extreme sadness suddenly emerged in his heart unconsciously.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, closed his eyes immediately, shook his head violently, and tried to stay awake...

When he raised his head again, the figure of the clown suddenly disappeared. Only the dim street lights illuminated the empty road. Several drunkards staggered past under the street lights, making vulgar noises from time to time. Curses.

Chen Ye raised his head and saw the halo of luck on his head, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of glazed color.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "With this kind of luck halo, there shouldn't be much danger..."

The uneasy sense of tracking gradually disappeared at this moment.

Chen Ye walked down the stairs of Longhua Avenue and returned to the familiar alleys of Xining.

When he first walked in, a melodious erhu sound came from the alley.

Chen Ye's mind immediately calmed down and returned to tranquility as the melodious and cheerful music played.
