Chapter 8: Chaos Wheel

This is tm... What do you call good public security?

I haven't even entered yet, and I was completely crushed by myself! Or in front of you!

"Grass!"

The police chief also cursed, no longer caring about Ye Lan, and ran quickly into the town while cursing.

Ye Lan struggled for a moment, then trotted after him.

He wanted to see what was going on!

I originally thought that the police sergeant was going to rush in with a fully automatic rifle to suppress the gangsters, and what followed was a fierce firefight. But it turned out that things were completely different from what he expected.

"Erdan! Are you sick? Why are you playing Chaos Wheel when you have nothing to do?"

Um?

Yelan found that the development of things was completely different from what he imagined. The 'sheriff' did not forcefully suppress the murderer who stayed at the scene. Instead, he asked reproachfully.

Chaos Carousel... What is this that I don’t understand?

Ye Lan quietly observed the situation at the scene. Counting the deceased and the murderer, there were three people in total. There were also a handful of worn-out cards scattered on the ground that had been used for an unknown period of time. They were suspected of playing some kind of game. A board game similar to 'Dou Di Zhu'.

The murderer's appearance was extremely simple and honest, just like everyone in this small town, with a dark earth-colored simplicity all over his body. It was completely unexpected that he would openly shoot in front of so many people in a small town!

"Oops! Sheriff Arthur, he was the one who invited me to play Chaos Spin, and then he lost!"

The honest townsman explained it this way.

The townspeople who had just been suspected of participating in the 'landlord' card game supported his words.

Sheriff Arthur was obviously very angry, and he didn't know if it was because he had just finished talking to Ye Lan about "the law is good" and he was so humiliated that he cursed loudly.

"Crazy! Damn it, how many times have I told you that it is forbidden to play Chaos Wheel outside of festivals? A life is so in vain... so... useless!"

Bang!

Arthur kicked Erdan in the body and spoke angrily.

"Go back and be put in solitary confinement! I'll let you play the roulette! Let you play the roulette? Don't come out until the next festival. I'll let you play as much as you want!"

Ye Lan frowned slightly, becoming more and more confused about the current situation.

The situation developed so much that he felt that he had missed some key factor. He even looked at the victim again more than once, and there was no doubt that he was dead.

It was definitely not a small game, definitely not something that was not too serious and could be treated as a joke - he was really dead.

It can also be seen that Arthur is really angry, angry at what happened, and even wants to execute the shooter named Erdan on the spot.

But for some unknown reason, I can’t do it!

This is weird...

"What are you looking at! Get back here!"

"Listen up! Before the festival begins, whoever dares to play Chaos Wheel again will have me play with you personally!"

The group of people had a hint of fear and waved their hands to retreat.

"Farewell, farewell, we don't want to play with you, who can play with you?"

After the crowd dispersed, Erdan and another card game member were taken away and imprisoned. Arthur sighed softly, lowered his head and collected the corpse of the deceased in silence.

"It made you laugh."

Ye Lan was worried that he couldn't talk in such a weird atmosphere and didn't know where to go, so he immediately took over the conversation.

Um……

"He killed someone, and the result was just imprisonment?"

Arthur didn't even raise his head, as if he had already guessed that Ye Lan would ask this question.

"He did not kill unilaterally, but both parties jointly carried out the chaotic carousel. You can also understand that it may be him who died. He just had better luck."

Yelan's mood was slightly shaken, and he felt that the chaos here was far more difficult to understand than he thought.

So this is... some kind of privately arranged life-and-death duel? So the Sheriff doesn’t care about this situation?

But something still seems wrong...

What is a festival?

"What's the Chaos Carousel?"

Hearing Ye Lan's question, Arthur paused, and then looked at him with dangerous eyes.

"This is not something you should know, stranger."

Yelan could feel the dangerous aura emitted by the other party for a moment, was slightly shocked, and stopped asking about this matter.

Anyway, he had just made supplies and was leaving, so there was no need to dig into the issue of touching the opponent's nerves.

At this moment, there was only one thing he was more concerned about.

"Does that mean that if someone openly shoots at me, you won't care?"

Arthur raised his head.

"If someone invites you to play Chaos Spin, just say no."

Ye Lan probably understood the implication of the Sheriff's words. As long as you don't agree with others to enter the state of chaos, no one will do anything to you like this.

If someone really dares, it is because of a vendetta. He will bring the other party to justice, which at least avenges you.

"It's really unsafe..."

Yelan murmured and nodded.

At least now he was safe with the Sheriff, and the feeling of hunger swept over him again.

"I need to buy some food, where can I buy it here?"

Arthur was not in a very good mood, and obviously no longer had the desire to take him around the town in person. He just pointed in the direction of the center of the town.

"That's the only restaurant in the town that sells food. There's a sign at the door. If you want to solve your hunger problem, just go there. If you want to buy a lot, I don't know if there's any surplus there."

Ye Lan nodded gently, memorized the direction the mayor pointed to, and walked quietly towards that place.

This place is weird, not a livable place!

But there are many problems that he faces. First, he won't be hungry after eating a full meal. If he wants to stay in the night house for a while, he must reserve at least a week's worth of food.

Second...

No money...

Yes, as soon as 001 appeared, he fell into the dilemma of having no money.

Just like that, he moved forward with a complicated mind, and did not attract too much attention because of his clothes and appearance as he thought. Most people stayed in the room, and sometimes children would look at him through the window.

The silent and desolate scene, coupled with this scene, was really a bit creepy.

Soon, Ye Lan arrived at the center of the town and saw the 'restaurant' that the guard had directed him to.

There was indeed a crooked sign on the restaurant, but the name alone was enough to put Ye Lan off.

'Mosquito Restaurant'.
