Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 219
Quietly, however, he took his foot back again. It's just that at this time, his polished leather shoes were stained with a strange fishy liquid.
"Whoa." The man narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a ticket from the pocket of his jacket and put it in front of the conductor, shrugging his shoulders, "Then please print it for me too." ”
Qi bangs girl: "......"
So you found the ticket, huh?
After several players got off the bus in a row, the woman who sold the ticket had an ugly face. She swept the carriage slightly, and asked in a rather vicious tone, "Is there anything else?" Don't waste time! ”
The girl had already walked to the door of the car, "I'll get off too." ”
"I don't want to get down, I'm going to close the door—"
"Wait a minute!" The girl's scalp was numb, and she carefully pressed her foot against the position of the car door, and those ghosts stared at her with great salivation and hunger, and even rushed up in a hurry, wanting to bite her leg, she could only finely adjust the angle and stuck, and finally found the ticket.
Holding the crumpled ticket in his hand, he handed it over, "Here you go." Please help me print it. ”
Now the expression on the woman's face is already undisguised resentment.
She viciously snatched the ticket and reluctantly returned it.
After the girl with bangs stepped out of the bus, the last player walked out after her. Before the doors were completely closed, the bus resumed its journey and drove away violently up and down.
The fishy smell that looms at the tip of the nose is finally gone.
Leaving the stuffy carriage, the air outside is extremely refreshing, and the aroma of grass, trees and earth blown by the mountain wind is good. It's just that the sun is fierce, and it is a little sunny, that is, the steep mountains next to it, the vegetation is dense, and the shadows cast hide a little heat.
In the extremely bright sunlight, the players took a second look at the bus that was already moving away.
I don't know if it's a visual deviation caused by too much light, the bus seems to have faded its color and turned into a gray-white tone.
The girl with bangs was in her heart, and suddenly withdrew her eyes, and the speed of her heart beating was a little inexplicably uneasy.
If they don't get off...... What kind of place would the "terminal" the conductor say?
Chapter 226: Gold and Silver Village 5
There's no point in thinking about that anymore.
The girl forced herself to take her attention away from the weird bus and into the predicament she was in. She looked up, and this place was truly barren, not to mention the village, not to be seen at all.
The road was not very wide, and it was full of rough gravel and sun-dried clods of dirt. Even walking through it is very strenuous. The only good thing is that the mud is dried, so it doesn't get on the soles of your shoes.
The sun made people a little dizzy.
There are really no landmarks in this place, and there is a deserted road in the end, and I don't know where the gold and silver village is located.
The girl's heart sank slightly, and she was about to open her mouth to break the quiet and somewhat awkward atmosphere, when they should separate to find out where the village was, when the man in the suit spoke first, and laughed very flirtatiously.
He took off the hat from his head again, revealing silver-gray hair. It was also at this time that the girl noticed that there was a small bunch of wolf tails tied behind his head, which looked completely different from his strict outfit, and had a somewhat unruly appearance.
"Friend," he walked over to Yuan Yuxue's side and leaned over slightly—
The man in the suit is a little taller than Yuan Xuxue. After he made this move, his eyes just met Yuan Yuxue.
There was interest in those smiling eyes, and there was also some deep thought, "How did you come up with the idea of giving the ticket to the conductor?" ”
“?”
It was also because the man in the suit stared at his eyes that Yuan Yuxue realized that the other party was talking to him.
There's really no reason for that.
Robots are very sensitive to all kinds of rules and instructions, so they will notice the common points in the hands of those people for the first time, such as the crumpled ticket.
There is also a ticket printer hanging from the conductor's neck.
For Yuan Yuxue, taking a bus is an unprecedented means of transportation. He didn't have any experience like that, so he paid special attention to the "rules."
The conductor has emphasized before that "if you sit at the station, you have to pay the ticket", and from Yuan Xuxue's thinking logic, it is correct that they also have to pay for the "ticket" for the distance they are taking now.
After noticing this subtle difference, it was natural for him to think that it was the normal process to take the ticket to the conductor for "checking".
This is an equivalent exchange.
Yuan Yuxue didn't resist the inquiring gaze that tightly captured his reaction, tilted his head slightly, and when he was about to answer in a calm tone, a loud shout just interrupted his voice.
"Hey! This side - this way!! ”
The voice of the visitor was full of breath and very clear.
A middle-aged man was trotting over, his hands raised in the air, swinging as if to get the player's attention, and after a while he ran to him.
The man in the suit glanced at him slightly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Yuxue again. It was only for a moment that he seemed to realize that he was too close, so he straightened up and stepped back a little, and gestured lazily, "I'm sorry - I didn't mean to question you, just casually." ”
The man has run in front of him. His body was a little rich and round, and the flesh on his body was trembling slightly when he ran over, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead. When he stopped, he was still a little gasping and calmed down before he looked up at everyone.
At this time, a player noticed that he was closing one of his left eyes.
The man's eyes are not big, and his face is still round. With such a lining, the eyes look like a slit.
But there is a difference between a thin slit eye and a completely closed eye.
"You're the bosses who came to visit the Golden and Silver Village, right? I'm here to arrange accommodation for you to visit, just call me fat, all of you have arrived, right? The fat man said very enthusiastically.
His body leaned over slightly, as if he was counting people—
There are a total of seven players who get off the bus.
Yuan Desire, Qi bangs girl, the player who wanted to open the window that was exposed at the beginning, the boy who wanted to change seats, the man in the suit, the boy with the knife, and the beautiful and tall woman who didn't say a word and got off the car last.
But after the fat man counted the people at a glance, he muttered as if he was a little complaining, "Huh? Why is there one more, isn't it said that there are six people, it's not easy to arrange accommodation. ”
…… Six people?
The players were stunned for a moment.
Of course, there is no mistake in the data set by the copy, and the information given this time obviously tells them that there is one person among the seven of them...... Not a player.
The most common and tricky part of finding ghosts has appeared.
There was no strange look on everyone's faces, and their thoughts were held in their hearts.
The fat man consulted with them, "That, bosses." Previously, you prepaid for the accommodation and travel expenses for six people, which will add personal expenses - it is okay to give you a 98% discount, is it not too much? ”
The man in the suit spoke first, "Yes." But when will it end? ”
He smiled, "This is not in a hurry, and the bosses are not like people who will repay their debts, as long as they settle it when they leave the village." ”
It seems that they have added another condition for leaving the village, and they can only leave the village after finding out the inner ghost.
Everyone has a bottom in their hearts.
Then it was the fat man who led them back to the village—he explained as he led the way, "It's not that I don't drive to pick you up, it's that this tricycle is not easy to walk, and I'm afraid that if I can't drive well, I'll overturn the car." ”
The road conditions are really bad.
The ground is rugged, and some of the trails are even narrower, allowing one person to pass through.
And because of the dense mountains and forests, there are many mosquitoes, insects, snakes and ants swimming over. The players don't know how many flying bugs they have choked to death.
Some steep terrain requires climbing upwards, and it is even more remote and difficult. It was only after crossing the trail that the view slowly widened.
It's dull along the way, with no players talking. However, the fat man seemed to be afraid that these long journeys would scare the boss away, and painted cakes as he walked.
"It's coming, it's coming."
"It's about the same for another ten minutes."
"See this road? Eh, you can see our village at the end of the road. ”
In fact, the fat man is also worried, these players can't leave their burdens anyway, and they don't feel hard to take these roads, they are silent along the way, just because they are remembering the road map to Jinyin Village.
- After all, when you leave the village, there may not be NPCs who will come and take them.
When the road gradually widened, the fat man was obviously much more relaxed, and it seemed that he was really about to arrive.
Although there was no one to cheer on the scene, he himself said that the atmosphere was hot, and at this time, he had already introduced the origin of Jinyin Village-
For this kind of dungeon-related information, players pay attention to it, and quietly listen to it with more eyes.
"Our village was actually originally two villages, and they were called gold and silver villages together. Originally, however, it was not called by this name, but it was said that gold and silver could be dug out of the original ground, so it was called Gold Village and Silver Village. However, outsiders call us, all of them shout from Jinyin Village, and there are many intermarriages between the two villages in the back, so they are not very separated, and everyone is a family - besides, this name is good. Gold and silver, riches. ”
"Still." He changed his words again, "I live in Jincun, so I take the bosses and go to Jincun too." There are many old people in the silver village, and outsiders are not very welcome, and the bosses usually don't have to wander around there if they are fine, there is nothing to see, the silver village is much older than the gold village, and there are fewer people. ”
He said this with a simple face and a gentle tone. But the players are all in the heart...... Some counted.
This is the first warning to them.
"Don't go to the Silver Village."
But thinking about their mission, since it was to "explore the Golden and Silver Village"—and if they wanted to successfully get out of the village in the end, it was obviously impossible for them to sit still and investigate nothing. Although it is a slow death, it is also an insoluble ending that is certain to die.
Silver Village is the place where it really matters.
It's just when they go...... It must not be discovered by the villagers.
And the players probably also realized that if the name of "Silver Village" is pronounced-
"Yin Village".
"Bosses." The fat man spoke again, with a slight smile in his tone, "Our village has arrived." ”
Chapter 227: Gold and Silver Village 6
They said they had arrived, but in fact they were still some distance away, but from where they were, they could faintly see the shadows of the village houses.
The fat man walked ahead and diligently opened the way for them.
There is no one at the entrance of the village, but there is a stone monument at the place of entering the village, which looks quite old, and the cinnabar painted on it has faded into a somewhat mottled pale pink, and you can faintly see the background color of the stone.
It's just that the handwriting on it is still easy to read - it is the three big characters of "Gold and Silver Village". However, the two lines of small characters engraved below are not easy to recognize, and it is a very rare font writing.
The man in the suit looked at the small letter, and his eyebrows were not very obvious.
"Fatty." He actually shouted as if he was already very familiar, "What do you mean by the two lines of words engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of your village?" ”
"Oh, that—" the fat man smiled a little innocently, "it seems to be a unique font in our village, and I don't know very well, but the old people in the village use it more." ”
