Chapter 30: An unexpected encounter

For a moment, Ye Lan was really frightened.

It was as if he suddenly changed into a different person and turned into a monster that chooses and devours people!

But in the blink of an eye, the boss blinked again, as if his mind had returned to clarity.

"Huh? What did you ask me just now?"

Yelan's face was solemn and a little tangled.

What is going on? Is it really true that I didn’t know anything just now, or was it just a trial of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid now?

Testing your purpose?

Crunch!

Before Ye Lan could reply, someone suddenly opened the store door.

"Oh, we have a guest."

The boss immediately came over with the menu, and Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it!

Something must have gone wrong, something big!

What was the boss's final reaction?

And the most important thing...this photo...

"Kitten. Are you there?"

"Yes! Big brother."

After quietly adjusting her position so that she could avoid other people's sight, Ye Lan spoke.

"Did you see that?"

The psychic cat's expression was also a little solemn.

"If this human being is not acting, it can only mean one thing..." Its breathing was a little rapid. "Cognitive modification!"

The so-called cognitive modification is a bit like memory modification. Change certain things in the original memory into another form, and affect everyone. If there wasn't an unaffected person to break the logic loop, no one would notice anything was wrong.

What's so great about it is that everyone, even some of them, can be tricked at the same time without knowing it.

"Is this photo frame so powerful?" Ye Lan was really surprised.

Cognitive modification is really a very core ability of any system, and it runs through the core elements of most weird abilities. If it were in a novel, this scene would probably have been skillfully created by the author into a very terrifying scene.

"It shouldn't have such an ability, or it won't be able to achieve such an effect, meow!" The psychic cat told his analysis. "It cannot be ruled out that the cognitive modification comes from the suspected abnormal and powerful existence in the ditch, because the photo frame selected its image, so the cognitive modification was passively emitted."

Yelan nodded slightly. It sounded a bit convoluted, but it should be very close to the truth.

The photo frame was replaced with another photo. There was a powerful abnormality in the other photo, and the abnormal ability was radiated from it.

"What a mess..."

What a ridiculous sewage town!

There was no boss around, and probably because he could understand what happened and could continue to look at the matter without panic, Ye Lan couldn't help but observe the new photos in the frame.

The clues are often hidden in there!

Robe...robe?

Ye Lan suddenly thought of something. Who in the wasteland would wear a robe?

Could this be some kind of robe, just like 402 next door!

"Are they involved?"

But soon, Ye Lan shook her head again.

"No, the colors of the church uniforms on both sides are very different. It's probably not the same church... I only know that there are church forces in this world, and who said there is only one church force?"

With endless thoughts, Ye Lan suddenly discovered a small detail.

At the edge of the photo, at the very edge, among the overgrown weeds, there seems to be a... cylindrical elongated thin object.

It's like some kind of clutter and garbage and mechanical scrap. To use a more polite and elegant way of saying it, it's like a silencer.

And...it's indeed relevant! Because this is a gun barrel!

Why no one else can recognize it, but only him, because he has seen it before!

The revolver barrel was thick and powerful, with orange-red stripes in the middle.

Bell of Chaos! !

In other words, in the scene recorded in this photo, someone is holding the Bell of Chaos in this bush!

Who is holding the gun? Amon?

So what is he doing? aim? Who to target?

Analyzing the gun line from the angle, it seems that it is not aimed at a certain person, but...

Everyone who takes the boat to the center of the whirlpool!

Was there internal strife in the town? Because of the arrival of this group of people?

Click.

At this moment, the door of the Mosquito Restaurant was pushed open again, and accompanied by bursts of fragrance that was completely different from that of this small town, he walked in with light steps.

Ye Lan glanced at it and then quietly looked back at the photo frame. She picked up the sewage special concoction on the table and took a sip, just like an ordinary diner eating noodles.

The person who walked in was the group of people from the church next door to his room!

However, even if Ye Lan hides and doesn't want to attract the other party's attention, it will still be of no use.

His clothes were incompatible with the entire sewage town. Sitting there, he will definitely attract other people's attention!

Depend on! Ye Lan felt the unusual atmosphere and cursed in his heart.

Clothes clothes clothes! I should change into a set of clothes more suitable for the wasteland!

But it's no wonder he... He just arrived last night, it's morning after falling asleep, and he just got up to have breakfast.

as well as……

He wasn't quite sure if the mist blue coins he had left now were enough to buy a set of clothes that were clean, neat and in line with the style of the times.

The man in the off-white and burgundy robe suddenly stopped in the aisle of the restaurant and looked at him silently, which only made Yelan feel a pricking sense of crisis on his back, and he was sweating heavily.

What are you looking at me for?

Just when Ye Lan was already thinking about whether to take any measures, someone suddenly came to his rescue.

"Oh, are you here?"

The restaurant owner's tone contained a touch of hospitality that was even more attentive to Ye Lan. Of course, there is a certain degree of exaggeration and artificiality in this hospitality.

Like sincerely, and just can't afford to offend.

Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party finally looked away from her.

Although he couldn't clearly see his face hidden under the long hood, his eyes that could be seen clearly seemed to be calm and somewhat delicate. It feels... like a woman?

The boss diverted his attention, and the man nodded, but his eyes finally wandered to the photo frame above Ye Lan's head.

"This is the menu." The boss interrupted her thoughts again and presented a redesigned menu.

The other party placed his eyes on the menu, and his brows wrinkled visibly.

Is this thing... edible?

At this moment, she really wanted to turn around and leave, but she thought of her empty stomach after not eating for two days...

So, she pointed at Ye Lan.

"Four of what he ordered."

It is a case of seeking medical treatment in a hurry. Since I have to eat something today, the food that this person who obviously does not belong to Sewage Town should eat is even slightly more reliable.

The store manager was not surprised, and even since developing new dishes, he has become extremely confident in facing this situation.

"Okay! Four portions of fresh plain noodles cost 4 mist blue coins each, and four portions of sewage special blend have 1 mist blue coin each, for a total of 20 mist blue coins!"

Lying down...

Even though he didn't spend any money himself, Ye Lan felt a pang of pain when he heard it.

Eating 20 mist blue coins in one meal?

The people in the church seemed to be surprised by such a number, with a slight dissatisfaction between their brows and eyes.

She felt like she was being taken advantage of.

However, whenever she thinks of the signature dishes above, the 'Thousand Mosquito Spider Silk Pancakes' and Devil Cockroach Noodles, she can't help but feel a chill all over her body. If 20 mist blue coins could allow the whole team to have a normal meal, she actually felt it was worth it.

"As long as it's really edible..."

"It must be edible! Keep what you eat so you can never leave. Even if you, the Sunset Cult, have to go back to Sewage Town just to eat it!"

I seem to have heard this before... when the boss recommended Black Devil Chili to him...

Wait... Sunset Cult?

The corners of Yelan's eyes moved slightly, it turned out to be them!

Living next door to me...

The girl didn't respond to him, she just complained silently in her heart.

"Unless I'm crazy..."

She didn't answer the restaurant owner's comment about the taste of the food, but suddenly made a comment that seemed to be unintentional.

"Why did the photo in the frame change to something else?"

Ye Lan sat up slightly after hearing this.

really! They had already noticed the unusualness of this photo frame, and even came here just for this reason!
