Chapter 253: The Unfortunate Man (I)
In the afternoon, six o'clock.
Midsummer evenings are always not so comfortable, even the evening breeze does not bring coolness, let alone the heat. Under the rare brilliant sunset and sunset, pedestrians still have no intention of enjoying such an evening scene, but they have accelerated their pace, or try to walk by the cover to keep themselves in the shade.
After all, when it is June, the sun represents 'hot and dry', 'sweat', 'weak', and 'high temperature'...... and so on, which are always so annoying, even in the afterglow of the sunset. Even Pei Chen would never bubble at noon, his activity time had long been adjusted to six o'clock in the evening until six o'clock in the morning the next morning.
This is the time when the earth turns from heat to coolness.
As for the school, there is no problem at all. In the past, the passage was only a name on the student roster, and it was basically a ghost student who only landed on the paperwork. If Pei Chen also wants this kind of treatment, it will definitely be easier, it doesn't matter if he goes or not, and the school will not have an opinion.
Anyway, in a word, it can be summed up: If there is no very necessary thing, Pei Chen will never go out in broad daylight when the sun is hot.
Striding in the shade of the green trees on the side of the road, large billboards or buildings, Pei Chen is on his way home - to be honest, his route home is not in this direction, but Pei Chen has always felt that exploration is the most interesting thing, changing different routes every day, almost all over half of the school city.
First, he can satisfy his desire to explore the anime scene that he has been dreaming of in his heart, and secondly, because he is now the target of public criticism, and if he takes the same route every day, it is easy to be ambushed by others.
But now even he doesn't know what route he is taking, and he has to detour for more than half a day every time to be able to go back.
"Huh? Uejo, you were discharged from the hospital? How did you get here? β
When the spiritual power diverged, there was a place where the spiritual power was directly wiped out, and judging by that familiar aura, Pei Chen immediately concluded that it was the young man in front of him. He felt a little surprised, he had come to this place for various reasons, but why was the other party here?
And he only went to the hospital in the morning, this, this recovery ability is too abnormal! Is the other party really a pure human being, and there shouldn't be a nine-tails in his body, right?
And then again, isn't there a little more chance of a boy appearing in the last year?,Although it's all an unfortunate beginning.,And it's just a soy sauce......
Mr. Uejo, who still had bandages on one hand, knelt down in front of an old vending machine on the side of the road, bleeding and tearing, scratching the coin hole of the machine with the index finger of his other hand, which was still intact. The old vending machine stood there silent, as if to laugh at his useless and childish actions.
Hearing Pei Chen's voice coming from behind him, the movements of the young man froze suddenly, and then he slowly turned around and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Ah, senior, good evening...... That, I was swallowed up......"
"Swallowed up?" Pei Chen walked to the side of the machine curiously, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that in the original plot, such things did often happen, so that Mikoto Misaka's 45-degree bevel mechanical repair method was very famous. I really can't figure out why the overall level of science and technology has surpassed the outside world for 30 years, and there is still a problem of vending machines swallowing money...... Should it really be said that it is the fault of the misfortune of this world?
Mentally up and down looked at some old vending machines once, and the internal structure of them was clearly disassembled. However, Pei Chen is not an engineering student, and he doesn't understand how those dense structures, circuits and other things work, so naturally he won't understand what went wrong.
"After you stuffed the money in, it didn't come out of the drink?" Pei Chen, who raised his foot and wanted to give this machine a kick, suddenly remembered that the boy was still next to him, and as long as he really stepped out, then the alarm would sound in the next second, and the end could be expected.
Well, it's better to talk about civility and new style...... Let's ask first.
"No, I'm used to it if I just didn't have a drink...... In fact, it was a drink, but ......" Shangjo Danma showed Pei Chen a lot of canned drinks that still exuded a cold chill with blood and tears, "I just wanted to buy a can of Coke, but it swallowed all my two thousand yuan, and it came out with such a strange drink......"
Two thousand yuan? Why this strange denomination?
Pei Chen took it curiously, scanned it with mental power, and then was immediately shocked:
ββ¦β¦ Black bean apple juice? β
ββ¦β¦ Soybean condensed milk powder? β
ββ¦β¦ Hell curry bitter gourd juice? β
ββ¦β¦ Strawberry oden? β
Every time he read the name of a canned drink, whether it was Pei Chen or the boy Shangjo, the entanglement and thick horror on his face would increase again. Wouldn't this kind of thing be too ridiculous, and after I dismantled this magical old machine, would helium three burst out inside?
"me, can this kind of thing really get into the stomach? Anyway, how did they pass the inspection! Pei Chen's expression was completely stunned.
"Hahaha, senior...... Don't you know that this school city is also an experimental city? The young man had a detached smile on his face, and he looked like he had seen through the red dust.
"Products that have been born in countless universities, high schools, and various research institutes still need to be tested in the real world, so the whole city is full of test products. For example, automatic food waste processors, self-operating security robots, and so on. Even the products displayed at convenience stores and vending machines are very different from those in other cities......
Pei Chen was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded suddenly in realization: "I see, working hard for progress is full of dreams and ambitions...... Who would believe that! Won't those decision-makers use their barren brains to stir it up, and we are also consumers who spend the same money! β
Saying this, Pei Chen hesitated for a moment, but still took a can of canned drinks that he felt disgusting from hearing the name, easily pulled the pull ring, and took a sip. After all, people are curious, and they always can't help but try something that is rumored to be extremely terrifying.
At least that's what Pei Chen thinks, curiosity is the ladder of human progress!
But the next moment he immediately regretted it, and at the same time deeply understood why cats with eight rebirth ankhs still died.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was distorted by the pungent taste impact. Pei Chen wiped a handful of tears, and then noticed that what he was holding in his hand was a strange can of '500% Super Thick Curry Onion Juice'......
"By the way, why did you come here?" With such a subtle expression, Pei Chen asked this question again, and he also knew what kind of answer he would get-just as he had predicted, the indiscriminate good guy on the opposite side left the hospital at one o'clock in the afternoon, but he had a good guy attribute attack on the road, and he was nosy when he saw the road......
Immediately afterwards, he was chased and beaten here by a group of thugs.
It's a normal development.,Just like Mikoto Misaka used to like to go out when he has nothing to do.,The boy on the bar is also the object of being unequaled by the gangsters.γ Because he always likes to help others in needβthat's a plus, but it's not much of a merit to the thugs. Because that means meddling and ruining their good deeds.
In addition, the combat effectiveness of the boy himself is not high, although he himself is very confident in fighting, but in fact, he singles out a gangster to win or lose, as long as there is one more enemy, then it will be the end of being hanged......
"You said you lost everything in your wallet?" Pei Chen, who listened to the previous article and complained about his unmiserable experience with blood and tears, was very keen to find the problem, "Then why don't you go to reapply for a savings card or something?" In more than half an hour, I'm afraid the bank will be closed, right? β
Having tried this situation when he first came here, Pei Chen was amazed at the working hours of the bank.
"Oops!!" Shangjo Dangma's face was full of black lines, he forgot more important things just because he was swallowed by the machine! He immediately bounced up, and galloped away with all his might, leaving a word with a mournful cry in the distance:
"Ahhhh Moment, senior, help me look at those drinks! I'll be back when I go, soon! β
This is a school city that was built on the unexplored area of western Tokyo, a pure technology city, and it is a place where there is no room for confusion at all.
But now, I think everyone who sees Shangjo Dangma will think like this: Ah, it turns out that there are really 'unlucky' people in this world.
Looking at these drinks? Pei Chen lowered his head and swept the position where the young man was kneeling just now, those drinks plus the can of hell flavor in his hand should be exactly two thousand yuan, right? But the taste of these drinks is too unacceptable, and the boy is still reluctant to give up?
It's just two thousand yuan for crickets, and it's really worth risking death to drink these drinks for such a value?
Isn't it the idea that if there is really no food, maybe these things can be hanged? That's so sad......
Smelling the super thick 500% curry onion juice in his hand that he only drank one sip, the pungent smell of destroying the taste made the corners of Pei Chen's eyes twitch, and he was very decisive, as soon as he raised his hand, he accurately sent the jar and the liquid in it into the trash can twenty meters away.
"Forget it, help him...... Really, I feel pitiful when I see it......" Pei Chen rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward and began to slap on the machine.
He wasn't interested in guarding a pile of weird hellish drinks, and putting up with the strange stares of passers-by - ah, there's an anomaly appetite or something there - and his plan was to see if he could get the two thousand yuan out, and if he couldn't, he would be able to post some himself.
As for these weird infernal drinks, to hell with them, go to hell sooner rather than later!
Sticking his ear to the machine, as if listening to something, but in fact, Pei Chen was using his mental power to detect and determine where the money inserted into the machine went, and then planned to use gravity to distort the space to take out the coin. But just as he locked his position, he was about to make a move-
"You...... Whew, I've finally found you......" (To be continued.) )
