Chapter 41: The haunting city

This is no longer a matter of dissatisfaction. Rather, the other party's behavior of not listening to advice will expose the secrets hidden by oneself, and bring about a situation that one is unwilling to face.

I didn't let you come, but you insisted on coming. What should I do now? Should I silence or not? Isn't this forcing me?

"Oh, this year is another big harvest, little Arthur and his friends are so lucky!"

The old man hummed a little tune, his face full of joy, brushed past Ye Lan, and reached out to fiddle with the pure black pepper that was almost as tall as him.

Hmm?

Ye Lan was stunned, ignoring him?

And... touching the pepper? Can he touch it?

Oh...

Ye Lan reacted instantly. It was not that he did not listen to his advice and came to expose his secret, but that this was the old man four days ago in the scene replay.

At that time, he was here.

"Meow! Don't be nervous, these are all scenes from the past, they can't see your meow. And if someone can enter here, I can also feel it!"

The cat of the heart always has the power to soothe people. Ye Lan was indeed nervous for a moment, but then relaxed.

Yeah...

The kitten is ‘abnormal’.

“The scene you restored... is more real than I imagined.” Ye Lan praised and observed the old man’s movements.

This look is really different from the old man just now, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.

It is hard not to empathize with the joy of a good harvest. Even if you don’t like to eat this thing, you can empathize with the feeling of sweat in exchange for a good harvest.

But... these will soon be gone.

Ye Lan glanced at the sky. After tossing around in the town guards, eating, and rushing on the road, it is now noon. Ye Lan probably has a judgment in his mind.

Everything is normal now, and there is no opportunity for change. The old man came to do farm work, and seeing how much he cherishes it, he can’t wait to run out and take a look every ten minutes. Under this level of care, any situation will be discovered at the first time.

But people have to sleep after all. The old man also said that the entire farmland shrank by nearly a quarter overnight. The night four days ago should be the key to the problem!

20 fog blue coins are not the reward for solving the problem, but the reward for finding the cause. Your own task, that is, the handwriting just needs to find out what happened.

"Kitten, speed up, speed up to nine o'clock in the evening."

"Okay meow!"

Time flies by, and the scene keeps changing. Everything in front of Ye Lan is as fast as turning on the God's perspective. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the day turns into night.

Everything is quiet. Ye Lan raised his head and could no longer see the Ningxia before the end of the world. There are no stars in the sky, and there are no chirping cicadas in the fields, shaking the fireflies that look like dreams from afar.

Nine o'clock has arrived, and Ye Lan is waiting quietly, ready for a "protracted war".

The night of the end of the world is a little scary. Except for the little light in the sewage town far away, there is nothing at all. Even the wind blows very stingily, so that the top-heavy plants will not shake much.

Xixi rate rate!

In this absolute silence, Ye Lan waited for nearly two hours, and suddenly he was shocked!

Sound!

In this absolute silence, every little sound was very clear.

But what was this sound? Was the grass colliding with each other in the wind?

Crack!

Without waiting to find the source of the sound, a crackling sound came from a place closer to Ye Lan, which shocked him.

The sound was right beside him!

And this sound...

Footsteps! Someone is coming!

Ye Lan instantly glanced at the old man's hut. There was no light, and the room was closed. It must not be him.

Then, at this time, it was not him, and he came here secretly. Could he be here to do something good?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Lan knew that the most critical situation was coming.

Da Da.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Although they were already very light, Ye Lan could hear them clearly at this distance.

There were a few more sounds of pulling the plants in front of him, and one side of the open space suddenly opened, and a tall and thin figure walked out of it.

The man was holding a very weak light, so weak that Ye Lan couldn't even see his face at this distance. If he was farther away, like in an old man's hut, it would be impossible to find anything.

He was really careful...

As the man got closer and closer, almost touching Ye Lan's face, Ye Lan could finally see his face clearly.

He was middle-aged, vicissitudes of life, with a striking scar on his face, and a lingering gloom all over his body.

Who is this person?

'The enemy is bright and I am dark', Ye Lan was not panicked at all, and didn't have to worry about being discovered. He could observe as he wanted.

The other party's clothes were not special, at least not as eye-catching as his original novice suit, but if compared with the sewage town, it would still look completely out of place.

"Isn't he from the sewage town?" Ye Lan whispered to himself.

The other party was wearing leather armor, and his muscles were full of strength. This feeling... Ye Lan was stunned.

Why does he look a bit like the man who robbed him?

The more I look at him, the more similar he is!

He belongs to the same organization as that guy? Impossible! If that guy really has the support of some organization, why would he come to steal my little money?

Oh, of course, unless it is a group of bandits who specialize in plundering.

Before I could think about it, the man took action again.

"Hey, after this job, I can get 50 fog blue coins as a reward! Working with them, the money comes really quickly..."

"Save a little more, save a little more... I can go to Glory City!"

Ah?

Ye Lan didn't know what to say for a moment. Another bad guy, and the goal is to go to Glory City.

That place... How much do you miss it? And with you like this, will Glory City want you?

The figure in leather clothes looked around, and he actually showed a little melancholy.

"If you just do this, Sewage Town will probably experience an unprecedented economic catastrophe this year? The annual revenue and supply of this broken place depends on these things to export and sell to the entire wasteland..."

At this moment, such a person actually showed a hint of entanglement.

"Why, does such a villain also have a hometown complex?" Seeing this scene, Ye Lan couldn't help thinking so.

The man hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth.

"What the hell does it have to do with me? This shitty town should have disappeared in history in this shitty world!"

"Who told me that they were not the ones who paid me to do the work? I! I... I just want to go to the Glorious City..."
