In the small town at night, the cold wind howled by, and thick fog appeared above the entire town, gradually reducing visibility.
Only the dim lights on street corners and the faint lights at intersections guide passers-by.
Jiang Zhe walked around in a circle on the road.
Some old people began to smile and queue up to enter the hotel. There was a white line at the door of the hotel, which would glow red when the old people crossed it.
Some old people also queued up with smiles to enter the cathedral not far away. There were also white lines on the lawn leading to the church, and there was also a red light.
After watching the two groups of people leave, Jiang Zhe felt the cold temperature coming from behind again.
He looked back and saw a middle-aged police officer wearing a black hat and blue uniform.
The middle-aged man picked up a piece of white paper and handed it to Jiang Zhe with an expressionless expression.
Jiang Zhe took it and read it carefully.
This is the evening code of the town.
[It is not allowed to walk on the street at night, as it will be infested with fog]
[The fog lasts for 4 hours - 0:00 am]
[You are not allowed to go home at night, you must go to a hotel or church]
[You can go home only after the fog ends]
[Violators will be arrested! 】
After browsing, the white policeman took out a pistol from his pocket and handed Jiang Zhe a pair of handcuffs with his left hand expressionlessly.
"Did you come alone?" Jiang Zhe looked around casually and asked when he found no one around.
The middle-aged policeman looked confused, but nodded anyway.
"Since you came alone, who gave you the courage to point a gun at me?"
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Zhe grabbed the other person's pistol and aimed it at the policeman's forehead. "Answer me, is the gun dangerous or am I dangerous?"
Seeing the sudden scene, the policeman was immediately stunned. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, his Adam's apple twitched, and without any thought, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, the audience burst into laughter.
"Pfft!"
"This scene reminds me of Jiang Gui!"
"Yes, Jiang Gui during the chaotic court period, he also said the same line at that time."
"Wow, it feels so friendly, hahaha!"
"..."
Inside the expert conference room.
The experts couldn't help but were so cute by Jiang Zhe's behavior, and burst into laughter.
Only Lao Zhao noticed one detail: "The notice said - no movement is allowed at night, as it will be infested by fog."
"What I'm curious about is - did the police really know that Jiang Zhe was alive before he said this, or did he mistook Jiang Zhe for a middle-aged/elderly person and say this? After all, the policeman didn't laugh or cry. It’s a state of expressionlessness.”
Hearing this, the laughter at the scene suddenly stopped, and they fell into deep thought.
"This is indeed a detail!"
"The details that all of us miss."
"I'm afraid the policeman's expressionless face is also untrustworthy!"
"..."
within the screen.
After going around a few street corners and deliberately avoiding the police, Jiang Zhe found a magic book store and gently opened the door. There was no surprise. The bookstore manager only received Jiang Zhe with a smile after hearing the sound of wind chimes.
.......
Beautiful country group chat live room.
Lyon since the afternoon, he found the key point in the church.
This afternoon, he visited more places in the town non-stop.
Various factories, shops, and office buildings.
He found that this town was self-sufficient and was a small-town-sized ecosystem with its main industry: toys and sideline glass.
There are everything from toys for people to pets.
Everything from double-sided glass to fun mirrors.
In addition, he would hear the sound of bells many times when he entered a shop where only the shopkeeper was alone. Later, he took a look - the effect of wind chimes on the shopkeeper who was alone.
He also observed through the glass the expressions of the shopkeepers in the store when they did not hear the sound of wind chimes: their faces were expressionless.
Once affected by the ringing of the bell, the other person will smile no matter which store he is in.
Maybe other chosen ones would ignore these details, but not Leon.
On the lounge chair in the park, he was eating compressed biscuits, drinking mineral water, and thinking.
"In this town, I walk straight ahead. When I reach 20 kilometers away, I will accidentally return to the starting point of the town - the town welcome sign. It seems that a ghost has punched the wall."
In this regard, Lyon made a summary.
This town cannot be left. Indeed, as the old man with bleeding from all his orifices said before - he cannot leave.
"Of course I could go right back to where I left the starting line, but I can't do that and I'll die."
"Besides this, the sound of wind chimes seems to be the sound that wakes up the old man."
"Why were you awakened?"
He thought about this question for nearly 5 minutes.
It proves that many elderly people are actually sleeping in invisible places.
When you sense someone approaching, shake the wind chime and you will wake up.
"Maybe the people in this town have entered some kind of fugue state, that is, they are hypnotized!"
"If it is really hypnosis, it is most likely done by priests and priests."
He continued to recall the events of the afternoon.
"There is another strange thing. A kind-hearted old man on the street deliberately gave me a sandwich just for me to eat it. But I refused, and the other person turned around and left without expression. He was probably tempting me to trigger the rule."
"There are also old people who cry and tell me what I can eat and what I can't eat. It shows that you can survive in a small town without food, but it's just not healthy."
The audience was stunned when they saw these excellent reasonings.
"Fake, you are worthy of being Leon!"
"This mind and IQ don't seem to be weaker than Jiang Zhe's!"
"Haha, there is a chance, our beautiful country has a chance to win, and even surpass Jiang Zhe!"
"Yes, I didn't understand any of these clues, but Leon understood them all!"
"..."
The audience couldn't help but applaud and marvel at Lyon.
After solving one problem after another, Lyon's problem finally came to the evening encounter.
"Why do old people go into either big hotels or churches after get off work?"
"There is a white line on the ground at the entrance of the hotel. When everyone walks over, the white line will glow red, as if it is some kind of detection device, like magic, and I cannot cross that line - there is a high probability that I will be See through, I’m not sure about that!”
As a result, Leon cannot enter the hotel to observe what is inside or what is being done!
In addition, there are police officers guarding the lawn leading to the church. There is also a white line behind the police officers. When the elderly pass by the white line, a red light will appear.
The two roads visible to the naked eye have been blocked, making it impossible to move forward.
"Damn, I really want to follow up and have a look. It feels like this town is trying to prevent me from being an outsider."
"This copy of the rules is called 'A Good Show'. Everything is a good show prepared for me?"
"What kind of show is it?"
Thinking about this, he was a little dazed by the question. He opened the brown leather jacket around his waist and exposed the corner of the pistol, trying to pull it out.
"No, I can't take the risk to kill the old man."
He shook his head and would never take risks, because behind him was a beautiful country that could not afford to use millions of lives to try and make mistakes.
Just as he was getting into trouble, an expressionless policeman in blue uniform walked over.
Leon looked alert, with his right hand at his waist, ready to draw his gun at any time.
Unexpectedly, the police just took out a white paper notice and handed it to Leon.
Leon took it suspiciously and read it carefully.
[It is not allowed to walk on the street at night, as it will be infested with fog]
[The fog lasts for 4 hours until 0:00 in the morning]
[You are not allowed to go home at night, you must go to a hotel or church]
[You can go home only after the fog ends]
[Violators will be arrested! 】
"I see!"
Just as Leon stood up and was about to apologize.
The policeman took out handcuffs and motioned for Lyon to cuff himself.
Leon made a quick decision and immediately ducked to the right.
He grabbed the firearm and dismantled the policeman's pistol with his bare hands, scattering the parts on the floor.
"Now, what are you arresting me for?"
Losing their weapons, the policemen were stunned for a few seconds, then turned and ran away.
After watching the police leave in a hurry, Leon also moved his position. Under a tree, he looked at the notice and began to meditate.
"sharp!"
"I'm afraid Jiang Zhe can't seize the gun with bare hands, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Our Mr. Jiang has been strengthened ten times, so his reaction and speed can naturally keep up with him - Xia Guo Netizen."
"You're a traitor again. Why did you come into our beautiful country? Damn rabbit, I'll roast you and eat you!"
"Luanluanluo (Akita dog sticks out its tongue) - Xiaguo netizen."
While Lyon was thinking.
Experts from the United States concentrated all their efforts to answer it immediately.
[James of the Beautiful Country Expert Team: Lyon, what you need to consider is the fog from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock in the evening. Since the police do not allow the elderly to appear on the streets during this time, it proves that the fog will harm them. Only Waiting for the fog to dissipate before the elderly can go home from hotels or churches. You don't need to question where the fog comes from or why it comes. There is no need for this. 】
[William of the Beautiful Country Expert Team: In addition, you also need to consider that the police had no expression on their faces when they arrested you, which raises a question - was the police's behavior just now controlled or not controlled, or was it relying on He could catch people stranded on the street. After discussion by our expert team, we came up with the answer - the police are likely to recognize you as a human being like the old people. We temporarily call the old people the 'living dead']
[John from the Beautiful Country Expert Team: There is another possibility - the old man who died of black blood from his orifices said - don't believe people who have no expressions. Through reasoning, even if the police arrest you, they are deliberately guiding you to do something. 】
【...】
Listening to the voices of experts constantly coming to my ears.
These words made Lyon suddenly enlightened.
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"Thank you, you have some skills."
"That makes sense. No wonder the fog didn't give me a sense of danger. Instead, it was just an ordinary fog. Maybe the fog wouldn't have any effect on me, but it might not necessarily affect the elderly."
"So what I need to do now is to get close to the church as soon as possible."
"There is only one reasonable way to approach the church - to learn magic."
"but..."
A smile gradually appeared on Leon's face:
"I can't believe in magic before I learn magic!"
"This is what a good show means. The whole town is cooperating with a play I perform!"
"That policeman's fundamental purpose was just to guide me to learn magic and believe in magic. In the final analysis, he also tempted me to violate the rules!"
"I understand it all!"
"This is a very scary town. Everything is playing a life and death game with me!"
"Then let's see in the end, when this fun show comes to an end, who wins and who loses!"
Leon looked at the candlelit church in the distance and smiled challengingly.
.......
Currently ranked fastest: Jiang Zhe.
Even though he had a break in the park, he also came in first place.
Second: Lyon.
Their progress has so far been surpassed by no one.
For example, Brown from the Rotten Country and Ivan from the Cat-Panda Country were only one step behind them, and were on the second line.
After an afternoon of investigation, Brown's final clue also pointed to the church.
The only way to approach the church is to learn magic.
"No matter what, go and learn magic. No big deal, I don't believe in magic, but just show that I do."
Brown is also on the right track.
But he did not understand many of the details that Jiang Zhe and Lyon knew.
...
As a materialist, Ivan firmly did not believe in magic.
But later, when he was wandering on the street, more and more disasters appeared in front of him, and after he was saved by more doctors dressed as black priests, his heart began to waver.
"Damn, does magic really exist?"
"But all the evidence points to the existence of magic!"
"What on earth do I do?"
he tried to ask himself.
Fortunately, the experts from Panda Country are very capable.
[Panda Country Expert Abler: Don’t think too much. You can even deduce the number of people at Dimensional Development University in the bookstore and the number of middle-aged/elderly people in the town. You can do it. Next, you have to learn magic, but you must stick to your true heart and don’t believe in magic. There will be no problem in the end. Everything you do is to meet the priests and mothers]
[Panda Country expert Ivan: When you are powerless, think about the problem from Jiang Zhe's perspective. What will he think about and what will he not ignore? If you try to learn from him, you will suddenly understand. 】
Hear this tip.
Ivan, who was depressed and confused, immediately said as brightly as the moon appeared in the clouds, "Thank you, I understand, I will learn magic!"
