Chapter 284: Paradise
According to the staff of [Paradise].
Each squad has five basic "Strange Tale Points" that can be used to shop in the store.
In the case that nothing is clear at the beginning, Han Dong and the others naturally have to find the "store" in the first step, understand the specific situation of the store, and then exchange for relevant strange clues.
"How exactly do I get more points...... We'll have to go to the store and ask. ”
Officially enter the park
The scene inside made Han Dong completely stunned.
I thought that when all the strange stories were contained in one city, the city would also become an absolute ghost town, and it would be impossible for ordinary people to live in this environment.
The desolate and bleak mature situation that Han Dong initially envisioned.
But in reality......
Outside the door of the buffer room corresponds to a gloomy alley.
Once closed, the door becomes one with the concrete wall of the alley's cul-de-sac, completely hidden.
"This is Paradise?"
Get out of the dark alleys.
Plenty of sunlight shines on the streets, and when the pain gets used to it...... What catches your eye is the bustling pedestrian street with a lot of traffic.
Such a scene was difficult for Abel to accept and even felt grotesque and uncomfortable.
But it's too familiar to Han Dong...... It even made his eyes red.
Huge electronic billboards,
A variety of different styles of brand clothing stores,
A large number of people who come and go are watching small videos, chatting with friends, or dealing with work matters.
At the same time, on the street, there are also vendors pushing carts of octopus balls,
A small sushi restaurant with a small canopy,
and a ramen shop where you can smell the aroma of tonkotsu from 10 meters away.
"Walking Street ......"
Han Dong went to the Institute of Molecular Cells at the University of Tokyo as a visiting scholar before his death.
Lived there for about a year.
The most basic communication Han Dong still does.
Moreover, this is different from the rural areas corresponding to the first "Evil Spirit" movie, since it is in an urban area with relatively developed technology, it is also possible to achieve basic communication in English.
"Wow!!"
As a blacksmith, Wen Li is still quick to accept such new things.
Immediately captivated by the design of various streamlined constructions.
"Wen Li, don't run around...... Wait for me here.
It's completely different from what I imagined in Paradise, since there are [people] living here, we have to keep a low profile. ”
After a while, Han Dong stole some autumn windbreakers and jackets from the warehouse of a clothing store.
Looser cuffs completely cover the electronic cuffs on the wrists.
By the way, Han Dong also stole some yen banknotes from the warehouse that would inevitably be used.
Led the team through the crowd, first under a newsstand at the corner of the street.
Han Dong purchased four copies of the 'Paradise Map' from his boss in a relatively fluent Japanese.
Wen Li, who was following the team, asked puzzledly: "Vice captain, there are also many shops in this city...... How can we decide which "Weird Talk Shop" we are looking for? ”
"All I know is that this kind of store is definitely not going to be in public."
Han Dong stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the map where his group was currently located, "Using the intersection as a temporary meeting point, we will look for it separately...... Come back here an hour later to combine.
Try to look for it in a more eerie, less active area.
And also! Don't get into trouble......"
Han Dong's last sentence was naturally for Mia.
Mia's character, if she encounters something unpleasant, she may do it directly.
Mia suddenly reached out and hugged Wen Li on the side, "Don't worry, this is a five-star event full of difficulty, and people won't mess around...... Sister Wenli, let's go. ”
"Be careful! Now that you're in, you can be in danger at any time. ”
"Got it, that's verbose!"
Split up.
Each member takes a different approach to independent action.
Abel immediately hid in the alley.
Insert your claws into the wall and quickly climb up to the roof.
By jumping and migrating through the rooftop area, combined with his own excellent vision and the beast's unique sense of smell, he searched for a different area.
Mia, on the other hand, releases small spiders as she passes through a dark alleyway.
Mia herself, on the other hand, will try to force information from some of the 'thugs' and ask them if they know of some strange little shops that no one knows.
…………
Han Dong's perspective.
"In the current world background, the level of science and technology is probably a hundred ~ two hundred years ahead of the world before my lifetime. It was possible to create such a "bionic city" for the containment of strange talks.
The [humans] who come and go on the streets don't seem to be real, but they are not much different from real people.
Let's find the "shop" first. ”
Han Dong tried to disguise himself and blend into the crowd, but found that he couldn't blend in anyway.
The reason is not himself, but the people in this city have their own problems.
Han Dong specially bought a large hooded sweatshirt to cover the "little devil's eye" with a hood...... so as to observe in the dark.
During the half-hour search, Han Dong found nothing.
There are no shops and no weird talk.
Suddenly.
Bang la la blah!
The otherwise clear sky suddenly rained down, and the whole city became 'gloomy'.
Han Dong quickly went to the eaves of a supermarket to take shelter from the rain.
"Is it possible that the 'shop' is combined with a regular supermarket?"
Han Dong, who had been walking around the supermarket for a whole time, bought an umbrella and deliberately exposed the prisoner's handcuffs in front of the campers.
But there was no response...... Wrong conjecture.
"Respect to the guests! We have a public umbrella in front of the store, which can be accessed by scanning it with your mobile phone. ”
"No need...... Suddenly it rains heavily, and there should be no umbrella, right? ”
"And one more."
Following the reminder of the camper, Han Dong looked at the public umbrella stand at the entrance of the supermarket.
The last red umbrella was left on it...... The surface of the umbrella exudes a strange atmosphere.
That's when it happened.
An anxious office worker with a briefcase scans and removes a red umbrella after receiving a phone call from his boss.
Soon it disappeared into the torrential rain.
"It's a pity, but this umbrella costs 6,600 yen in total."
When the salesperson turned his head, he found that the coins had been placed on the cash register.
The young guest who had just bought the umbrella had already left.
…………
In the rainstorm.
Han Dong followed closely behind the office worker who had just taken the last red umbrella.
It's not just about breath.
As the man opened the umbrella, a human head appeared inside the umbrella.
The head was pressed against the man's shoulder.
A long gray and black tongue spits out between the unusually bright red lips, sometimes licking on the man's cheek...... The man felt only cold rain splashing on his cheeks, and didn't know anything.
