Chapter 313: Strange Shop

After I pressed the stop button in my hand, all the sounds around me disappeared.

The familiar effect appeared in front of him again, but he was not carried away by the temporary effect.

After all, there's no guarantee of how long this state will last?

Is it the same as before?

Xie Chen just leaned against the street lamp next to him, slowly staring at the changes around him.

Through the time of mental meditation, it has been almost a long time since the surroundings passed.

It's been at least more than a minute, but it's still in a state of stopping at any time, and the cars in front of you don't move at all, all of them are parked where they just now.

Xie Chen walked forward and gently put his hand on the window.

Even though I put my face very close, I still couldn't see the faces of the people in the car, and my eyes were still very blurry.

In desperation, he turned his head and walked to a parked car below, after all, the door was locked now, and he couldn't open the door from the outside.

But even when he came to a car below, he still couldn't see the faces of the people in the car.

It seems that there is no way to start with this, that is, I can't use any vehicles.

Originally, I was thinking about seeing if I could let these guys drive themselves, but now I think about it as a luxury.

"It seems that if you want to hurry to the location of Big Ben, you don't have to think about it, you can only walk there on your own."

Xie Chen shook his head helplessly.

But although the idea is good, the reality is extremely cruel.

Although you can see that the bell is not particularly far away from you when you stand on the bridge deck, you must know that the bridge deck is raised, and your line of sight will become farther away when you stand on it.

At the same time, the distant objects are not particularly far away from their own perspective, but even a little trip is enough to exhaust themselves enough.

Xie Chen pinched his eyebrows and rubbed them, unable to think of a good countermeasure for the time being.

Although there is no loophole in the rules to exploit, it can only be temporarily complied with, otherwise if you violate the rules, you will only suffer yourself.

Mentally prepared, Xie Chen also used the pocket watch in his hand to unlock the current time-stop effect.

Although the effect of the pocket watch has not been as outrageous as just now, it will also weaken or affect the results in dangerous situations after it is not maintained.

So this test doesn't really mean anything, just to let yourself know for the time being that the pocket watch has not been affected.

Xie Chen was busy putting the pocket watch in his pocket as he looked at the intersection on the left.

While slowly planning the nearest route in my mind, I didn't forget to follow the effect of a pocket watch in my mouth.

"It's really troublesome, people who don't know think I've got some artifact......"

It's a pity that it's useless to complain now, if you can help solve this thing, you don't have to worry so much.

Xie Chen hurriedly left the vehicle next to him, after all, this was on the road, and the surrounding vehicles would not have long eyes when driving.

Because it was just because of the effect of unlocking the pocket watch, he hadn't avoided it yet, and the whole person was standing in the middle of the road.

After Xie Chen returned to the side of the road, he put his hand back on the street lamp, and slowly looked at the passing vehicles.

He didn't stay too long, took two steps to the side, and stood in place waiting for the traffic light time to beat.

Now is not the time to cross the street.

The cars are not driving fast, but this is just a comparison with the real world.

At such a close distance, the speed should not be underestimated.

If you dare to stand in the way, these vehicles can still crush you.

Xie Chen looked at the road mirror in front of him to confirm whether he was in a safe state now.

After all, although the two black shadows from before were gone, Bao Buqi would turn back when he stopped.

If you do it again, you'll be a little overwhelmed, so it's best if you don't have this kind of trouble.

Fortunately, from the road mirror, except for himself and the surrounding vehicles, he did not find the existence of a black shadow, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

While adjusting my standing posture, the traffic light at the intersection ahead also showed a green light.

Seeing that all the surrounding vehicles had stopped, Xie Chen did not continue to stand under the street lamp, but quickly crossed the road and came to the opposite street.

In fact, just when time was paused, he could walk directly to this side, and when he first thought of this, Xie Chen also felt a little stunned.

Under the long-term mental torture, he is about to become no different from a nerd.

But it's good to think about that......

Xie Chen smiled bitterly, at least not particularly stupid now.

After arriving at this main street, Xie Chen also began to slow down his pace.

It's only 12 o'clock, so there's no need to rush in a hurry, and there is still a long way to go until 10 o'clock in the evening.

Even if you completely slow down, it will definitely not take you an hour to get to Big Ben.

However, I didn't stop long, although there were many shops in the middle that were crowded with a lot of people, and it looked very lively, and I didn't stop to stop.

Those shops were crowded with people, but they didn't even say a word, as if those people were all pulled over to make up the numbers.

I also have a bottom in my heart in this regard, and I won't let this waste my time.

In a hurry, I leaned against some open shops next to the street, and the wall clock hung inside.

I can also know when the real-time time is up.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, I was getting closer and closer to Big Ben.

Now the large disc scale on the top can clearly appear in my eyes.

Although ten minutes earlier, after I had just bypassed the higher building in front of me, I could already see the Big Ben clearly without obstructing my vision.

But the upper dial is also not there, and now it is clear to see.

The closer you get, the fewer buildings you can cover it around, and there are basically not many of them left, just some of the lower bungalows.

But even if it's short, it's compared to the others.

These houses are not small, and each one is three stories high, and some of the outer ones have even reached a height of four stories.

However, it is still a little lower than the Big Ben in the center, and if you want to completely block the Big Ben from your current view, you have to have a seven-story building.

I just stopped and took a look, and it didn't take much time, after all, if I continued to hurry, I guess I would have to get a little bit to get there.

Although the time is not particularly tight, adhering to the principle that if you can solve it early, you will have less trouble, and you can only walk on your sore feet.

After rounding the side road, it was obvious that the speed of the vehicles around it was much faster.

However, I didn't see the speed limit signs on both sides of the road on the previous journey, and I don't know if it was my own psychological reason, anyway, I just felt that the speed was a little different.

I waited for the green light to come on as usual, and then I followed to the opposite street.

There was nothing strange in between.

I also found that wherever there is a road turn, the city is basically equipped with at least one road reflector.

I don't know if the city's managers also know about the existence of the black shadow?

Of course, all I have seen so far are people like walking corpses, let alone the managers of any city, not even a normal person.

The only one who may have been self-conscious, or a little bit human, was also killed in his car by fire on the bridge just now.

After coming out of the wooden house, the situation I encountered now is not normal.

In the store I went to before, the clerk and waiter also looked very weird, but I couldn't say it myself.

I just think that these people's way of thinking, or behavior, is a bit like robots.

There are many movies I have watched before that have robots, with a layer of human silicone skin on the outside, which is used to pretend to be people in real life.

Maybe these walking corpses driving on the road now, and even the pedestrians I just met when I passed by the store are blocked outside the door of the store, but they don't even say a word.

But he can't produce evidence and can't expose them.

None of this can be prematurely determined.

After crossing the middle road, I was closer to the Big Ben in front of me.

So far, this is one of the few good news, at least my journey has not been hindered.

Now I have to think about it, what is the meaning of the note I got in the phone booth, except for Big Ben, the remaining two pieces of information?

Xie Chen bypassed the intersection next to him, and his thoughts were always on the remaining note.

At first, the lines of the note lead me to the bridge deck, probably to tell you where to see the direction of Big Ben.

I had tried to unfold the note on the road, and the red line and the position of the rectangle and triangle were exactly the same as the position of the real bridge deck and Big Ben.

Maybe the information I want to tell myself in the middle is here, and as for the details, it may be in the English words and question marks.

But what worries me the most now is the question mark that appeared on the note.

Why is there such a question mark?

The person who left the note may have unresolved questions about the so-called truth.

But unless you make it clear in person, even if you write it on a slip of paper and get close to the answer, everyone understands the meaning differently.

Xie Chen asked himself, now he just wanted to find the unknown humanoid creature quickly.

As long as you can take the lead in solving it in this dungeon, you can at least ensure your own safety with a high probability.

As for how to solve the creature, I haven't found a way to use it yet.

However, it is impossible for the copy not to leave a way to survive for himself, no matter how obscured the method is, there is always a possibility for him to get it.

But I don't know where to start.

"Why are you worried about this now......

Xie Chen shook his head, leaving his temporary concerns behind.

If you continue on, you will be able to reach Big Ben in the center as long as you pass through the residential area in the middle.

It's just that there is any uncertain danger over there, and I don't know for the time being.

What kind of protective measures to do, I don't know what kind of protective measures I want to do for the time being.

Xie Chen hadn't taken a few steps forward before he had to make a detour to the side again.

This place is full of twists and turns, and if you want to go deep inside, each road is actually not very far.

But at least there are no traffic lights, and I don't have to stand still waiting for the lights to change, while still worrying about whether the black shadow will take the opportunity to follow him?

Just after turning right, I have to turn left again.

Xie Chen was not distressed, because after passing through this small alley, the road ahead would be relatively smooth.

The houses below are not said to have become crooked, but the sides are more flat, and they are all well-organized.

After rounding the last corner, Xie Chen also came to the front of this street.

But as I thought, the front was originally occupied by residents, but now the first floor is used by these residents to sell things because the whole street has become very flat.

Even if it is a store, there are all kinds of restaurants and clothing stores, and even some snacks and grocery stores.

Xie Chen looked at the one on the far left, and the thing made his cheeks twitch.

Fresh fish, with a lot of groceries and dishes, looks like both a grocery store and a fresh fish market, but there are even seasonal fruits and vegetables in it.

However, the store is similar to the others, not that it is much larger.

Xie Chen took a deep breath and walked over from the side, there were indeed a lot of people inside, but these people also did not speak, but squatted on the ground and picked up some river shrimp in the foam box.

Xie Chen's eyes hooked inside, and a person who should have looked like a boss stood next to him, still holding a black plastic bag in his hand.

may have noticed his gaze and immediately turned his head around.

In this way, his gaze met with himself.

Xie Chen couldn't see any emotion in this guy's eyes, like an insensitive person.

But the expression on his face can carry a slight emotional taste, but it is not so obvious.

may be compared to those godless eyes, the facial expression is much more valuable, which makes me feel this way.

Xie Chen pretended to look away very naturally, but he didn't leave immediately, which seemed a bit abrupt.

I looked at the fishing gear that was placed outside, and I looked a little interested.

It's just that the boss inside didn't want to come out to greet him, but seemed to let himself pick and choose.

Xie Chen squatted down pretendically, touching the fishing rod in front of him with his hand, seeing that the boss with the black bag was not looking at him, and he continued to look inside openly.

Strangely, the boss patted the customers who were squatting on the ground and pointed his thumb behind him.

It's like telling those customers that there are a lot of people now, and there is any business to talk about......

Further inside is the coffee table, just at the door, I didn't see any decent goods inside.

The more chattering he was, the more he aroused his curiosity.
