Chapter 212: Curfew

The waiters here have clearly shown an unusual side, I wonder if the customers here are normal?

The people who eat here are not only outsiders like him, but also many of them are obviously residents of this town. They are already familiar with the waiters, and they do things quite casually.

White Nights is basically just observing these people. Observe what is abnormal in these people's every move. After discussing with the waiters, he didn't expect to get any valuable information from the mouths of these townspeople.

Take the waiter as an example, his face does not change, and he is full of lies. White Night thinks that as long as it is a person in this town, it is not worth trusting.

His real purpose is to come here as an outsider.

Like themselves, out-of-town tourists who don't know anything about Blackwater Town, their attitude is the key.

Maybe the abnormal picture that these people see unintentionally will be because of the white night to find clues about their own medicinal materials.

He ordered two dishes and asked for a main course. While waiting, I watched silently.

The number of people in the restaurant, from a few people to a few people, has increased. Most of them are still residents of the town, but a middle-aged man who looks dusty has caught the attention of Bai Ye.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, a little overbearing, chubby, and sweaty. The clothes on his body, and the briefcase he was holding, were out of step with the atmosphere here.

Obviously, this is also a tourist who has come here.

White Night didn't know how he got in, but this man could undoubtedly give himself some clues.

It happened that the man was sitting at the table next to him, and Bai Ye took the initiative to speak, seemingly chattering: "Brother, you are also from other places?" ”

The middle-aged man looked up unexpectedly. Seeing Bai Ye's appearance, he was slightly stunned.

Bai Ye's appearance at this time is the image of a simple middle-aged person, without any sense of aggression, very kind. Although it was a little abrupt, the other party could clearly feel that Bai Ye did not have any malicious intentions, just ordinary small talk.

Anyway, if you don't know the place here, you're idle.

The other party introduced himself and said: "I am a businessman who went to Hongcheng to do business!" It's a pity that the road is a little far, and when I get to the vicinity, I am afraid of getting lost, and I just saw a small town on the side of the road, so I stopped here first and rested. ”

"I'm going to visit the factory in Hongcheng tomorrow!"

Hearing his words, Bai Ye was keenly aware of the inconsistency between his words and his own experience.

When the merchant arrived, he saw the town on the side of the road.

It's absolutely impossible. When Bai Ye came here, even with the help of a map, he still searched for a long time to find such a remote place. After walking for nearly half an hour, I found the entrance.

This Blackwater Town, is it true that the way to enter is different for everyone?

Or is it actually the businessman who is lying?

Bai Ye pressed the doubts in his heart for the time being.

The other businessman asked casually, "By the way, where are you from, brother?" Are you here for sightseeing? ”

Bai Ye smiled; "I'm from Hongcheng. I was looking for nearby attractions, but unfortunately there were none. I came here by accident. ”

The merchant looked quite interested and asked him a lot of information about Hongcheng. It's all about the factory, and how far the prosthetics have developed here.

Looking at the way he looks, his interest in this is not pretending, but really being very attentive to these aspects.

He's a businessman himself. Responsible for providing a variety of prosthetic materials. It is said that the use of these things in the vicinity of Hongseong has been very large recently, and a large number of them have been purchased. That's why he came thousands of miles here to do business.

Hearing his words, Bai Ye could be sure for the time being that this merchant was an ordinary person. He had no idea what was strange about the town, and he was preoccupied with his business.

The conversation with Bai Ye is also mainly based on inquiring about news.

Bai Ye noticed another thing in his heart. That is what the businessman revealed, and Hongcheng has recently had a large demand for various prosthetic materials and mechanical limbs.

He knew that several large companies were working on this stuff. And all of them have already achieved certain results.

For example, the exoskeleton in his inventory is the achievement of Huinuo Biotech in this regard.

But he didn't expect that such research would attract so many material demands. Even the suppliers in the vicinity of Hongcheng are already insufficient, and businessmen from other places have seen business opportunities.

Wrong.

The actions of several large companies could not have caused such a violent response. Their demand will not be so much, even to the point that demand exceeds supply.

Hong Cheng must have some big action brewing inside at this time, and it has something to do with the prosthetic body and mechanical limbs.

From this small angle, Bai Ye speculated on the next development of Hongcheng.

If nothing else, it won't be long before there will be chaos here.

It was even several times more chaotic than the Marina City at that time.

Bai Ye thought to himself, [Emma's] decision to hurry up and let him hurry up to find the medicine was the right one. Hongcheng seems to be very calm and peaceful, but in fact, he doesn't know when a dangerous event will erupt.

I have to find the medicine as soon as possible, go back to cure the disease, and then leave here.

Hongcheng is no longer a place to stay for a long time.

Being drawn into the war, even with his combat effectiveness, there is no guarantee that he will be able to protect himself.

He had seen the horror of real war in [Samsara], and it was only a small battle.

In a real large-scale battle, life and death can only depend on luck.

After chatting with the merchant for a while, White Night's dinner also came.

His dinner looked very normal, and judging from the five senses of ordinary people, there was no problem. It's not delicious, but it's not bad either.

Bai Ye cautiously opened the data perspective to see, this food is still normal.

He tried it and didn't eat much. I'm afraid that there is something hidden in this thing that will put me in danger. He used his own utensils to make a mess of the food. It looks like I've eaten a lot.

Normally, he would never waste food. This is also a move that cannot be helped.

After all, it's no joke that Blackwater has been called a "weird gathering place". You are responsible for your own life. You can't act at will.

After Bai Ye pretended to finish eating, he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he still pretended to be unsatisfied, sitting here and watching the every move of the people around him.

When the merchant had finished eating, he said goodbye to him and said that he would go back to his room to rest. He looked very tired. It is estimated that it was caused by a long period of travel.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when the waiter stood up.

He walked to the center of the restaurant and watched everyone with a blank face. In his hand he was holding a huge iron lock.

After looking around, he went straight to the gate and locked it with this huge iron cable!

Bai Ye suddenly had in his heart, what does this person want to do?

At night, is it time for their town to do something to outsiders?

His muscles tightened secretly, ready to move. The eyes watched vigilantly at the people eating around them, and everyone turned a blind eye to the waiter's behavior, as if they hadn't seen anything happening.

After the waiter locked the door, he returned to the center of the hall and said with a blank face, "It's seven o'clock in five minutes." It's curfew time soon, so please follow the rules. Go back to your room and rest and don't linger outside. ”

After he finished speaking, all the local townspeople in the room who were eating and chatting stood up in unison!

Bai Ye was secretly surprised, what were these people doing?

Some townspeople apparently haven't even finished their own meals. But at this time, he also put down the food in his hand and stood upright. Everyone is expressionless, and their waists are straight.

There was silence in the hall. In the lively room just now, there was silence at this time. Everyone seemed to be dumb, and they walked upstairs and went back to rest.

White Night was still sitting in his place, witnessing all of this.

He felt that these people were like puppets at this time, acting in unison under the arrangement of an invisible big hand.

The townsfolk evacuated very quickly, and in less than half a minute, there were even two people left in the hall.

White Nights and Waiter.

The waiter watched these people leave, and turned his head to look in the direction of Bai Ye: "Honorable sir." Please go back to your room and rest according to our curfew regime, time is running out. ”

He had a smirk on his face, and the person watching it was uncomfortable.

Bai Ye changed his posture: "What happens if I say no?" ”

He wasn't provoking, he was wondering, if there were rule-breakers, what would these townspeople do?

The corners of the waiter's mouth widened even more: "Nothing will happen, sir." So please go back and rest. ”

Nothing will happen, let alone follow such so-called rules.

Bai Ye felt that the waiter's words even contradicted himself, and it was estimated that he himself didn't know what he was talking about.

Bai Ye thought about it and looked at the time.

There is still a minute to seven o'clock.

He was still sitting in his chair, motionless.

The waiter stared at him like this, with a strange smile on his face, and he didn't move.

There is still half a minute to seven o'clock.

Bai Ye saw that although the waiter insisted on his actions, a drop of sweat had appeared on his cheeks.

He was nervous.

There is this reaction...... Isn't the other party a puppeteer-like existence who has been completely dominated, but has his own thoughts and considerations?

This waiter, what is he afraid of?

It's almost seven o'clock. Under the nervous gaze of the waiter, Bai Ye stood up and walked directly up the stairs.

The purpose of the white night is just to test it. Of course, he wanted to know what the penalties would be for violating the so-called curfew rules, but this could not happen to him.

Seeing how others are being treated for breaking the rules. That's what White Night wants.

He didn't know how to go upstairs, and heard the small voice of the waiter behind him breathing a sigh of relief.

White Night's room is in 203, and after going up the stairs, the third room on the right hand side is.

The room is not too big, most of the furniture inside is wooden, and the layout is relatively clean. As soon as you close the door in the white night, turn on the data view to see if there is anything like a camera in the room.

Under the white light of the torrent of data, no electronic instrument can escape his eyes.

To Bai Ye's surprise, there were no electronic devices here. What cameras are even more non-existent.

After checking the walls and under the bed and something, White Night sat in a chair. It's clean, there's no camera or anything like that, and there's nothing else you shouldn't use. It's an ordinary, very clean small town hotel room.

This made him even more confused.

In a place like Blackwater Town, the attitude towards outsiders is obviously controlled. But don't they even monitor such rooms?

Or do they have other means to do this?

Bai Ye had no answer in his heart for the time being.

He looked out the window, and it was almost completely dark. Outside street lamps illuminate the ground. You can see it in the white night, and below is the small courtyard of the hotel, which is very small. Outside the walls, there is the sidewalk of the town.

Everything works fine.

White night lies in bed, pretending to rest.

The waiter emphasized at the time that everyone should go back to rest after 7 p.m.

In fact, Bai Ye was lying in bed listening to the movement next door.

Are there any unusual sounds nearby?

He listened carefully, but there was a strange silence. Just now, when he went upstairs, he heard the voices of some people in the room. Slightly noisy. I don't know when, but all the voices disappeared.

There are also no insect chirping or pedestrian sounds outside.

As soon as Bai Ye remembered to take a look, he suddenly heard a burst of extremely suppressed footsteps.

The rooms at the hostel have wooden floors. Pedestrians will make a creaking sound when they step on it. Walking past the voice of a person is obvious.

At this time, this person's steps were obviously as light as possible. Quietly walked over.

Hearing the sound distance, Bai Ye deduced that this person was passing by his next door at this time202.

The footsteps stopped suddenly.

After a while, the footsteps continued to sound, this time in the direction of his room!

When he reached the gate of the white night, the man stopped again. White Night even seemed to be able to hear his breathing.

One second......

Two seconds......

The footsteps sounded again, and he walked forward through the room of the white night.

White Night suppressed his impulses. He was very eager to go down and open the door and see who that person was.

Is it a waiter? Or the owner of the inn who never came forward? Or is it someone else?

In the end, he resisted his impulse.

Satisfy your curiosity by doing so, of course. But there's a good chance that you'll be targeted by the entire town of Blackwater after that. After all, he also nominally violated the curfew regime.

White Night is not afraid of any battles or anything like that. I was worried that after I completely broke with the people in Blackwater Town, I would lose the opportunity to find medicinal herbs.

Bai Ye reminded himself in his heart that he was here to find medicinal herbs, not to satisfy his curiosity.
