Chapter 706 Ghost Postman (2)(Chapter Preview)
The fog in the town was much sparser than the one on the road, but it was still dense.
The moment he got out of the car, Feng bujue was surrounded by cold air.
“The visual range has been increased to twenty meters, but the temperature is only around two degrees, and the humidity is ridiculously high …” Before brother Jue closed the door, he was already missing the air conditioner in the car. “If this scenario is calculating the stamina points based on the character’s actual body sensitivity … In this ‘whole day’, I will have to drink, eat, and rest appropriately … Or else I will run out of energy.”
While he was thinking about these questions, Feng bujue had already left the car and walked toward a gas station that was about ten meters away.
There were two reasons why he didn’t try to repair the car himself: First, he didn’t know how to do it, and second, he felt that the system had arranged for it to break down, so it couldn’t be repaired in a short time.𝚘𝒱𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t
Therefore …
He decided to find a professional to help.
“The gas station is at the entrance of the town, so it’s quite convenient.” Brother Jue’s brain could not stop working for a moment, and he immediately started to fill in the possible scenarios. For example … The boss of the gas station said that to repair my car, I need four parts A, B, C, and D, and he only has two. As there were too few employees at the gas station, he gave me a mission and told me to go to point E and F in town to buy them. When I found the bosses at point E and F, they asked me to help them collect G, H, I, and J items, or they wouldn’t sell the parts to me. Those four items were scattered in K, L, M, and N areas of the town. There are corresponding mini-bosses in each area that I have to defeat …”
Just as brother Jue was using his ‘Zelda logic’ to figure out the following plot, suddenly …
“Hurry back.”
He could vaguely hear people talking …
It was a woman’s voice. It sounded ethereal and distant, but her tone was very firm.
“Who is it?” Brother Jue reacted quickly and turned around, but he did not see anyone.
“Follow the road and go back to the other side of the bridge! A few seconds later, the voice once again came from the fog in the distance, but the voice was still there, and the person was nowhere to be seen.
Tsk … Do you think I don’t want to? Feng bujue scoffed in his heart. If the main mission was to escape the town of otaku, I would have left even without you telling me.
However, he did not ignore the voice.”Who are you?” He shouted in the direction of the voice,”why do you want me to go out? Why do you say it’s still time …”
BOOM! BOOM!
At that moment, a loud collapsing sound came from the bridge and instantly drowned out brother Jue’s voice.
“Hmm …” Feng bujue’s lips twitched.”I see …”
Even though the pattern was obvious, as a cautious person, brother Jue still chose to go and confirm the situation with his own eyes.
He jogged in the direction he came from, passed the broken down car, walked out of the town entrance, and returned to the road. He ran for another dozens of meters.
Then … The broken bridge appeared in front of him.
The chasm was about eight meters wide, which was not a distance that ordinary humans could cross. Perhaps a ten-meter-long ladder could be placed on top of it, and people could pass through it. However, it was still unknown if such a prop could be found in this town …
“This … Isn’t a good idea …” Brother Jue looked at the deep valley under the bridge and mumbled,”if this is the only path that connects the town to the outside world, then I’m not going to be able to get out …”
“It’s too late. ” Suddenly, the ethereal female voice sounded again.
Brother Jue looked toward the source of the voice and finally saw a blurry figure on the other side of the broken bridge.
“Is there something wrong with this town?” Feng bujue immediately shouted at the man.
He did not repeat the question he had just asked because he knew … Whether it was in a horror movie or a horror game, these prompt-type NPCs had a few remarkable characteristics: First, he only spoke halfway and liked to answer irrelevant questions. Second, when you ask a key question, they will immediately go deaf or disappear, but when you ask an ambiguous and meaningless question, they will be able to hear you again. Third, they would only approach you when you were on the verge of death or delirious. When you were awake, they wouldn’t even let you see their true faces. Fourth, only when you were tricked, injured, or in a desperate situation would they give you substantial help. Fifth, they could usually make seemingly reasonable and unverifiable explanations for these four behaviors.
To sum it up … This was a group of people who really needed a beating.
“Now, you only have two choices.” As expected, the figure ignored brother Jue’s question and continued,”one, become a ‘postman’, and two, become one of ‘them’.”
Then, before Feng bujue could respond, her shadow disappeared into the fog.
“Hey, hey, Wanwan.” Feng bujue knew that the girl would probably ignore him, so he merely shouted twice before turning around and sighing.”Sigh … The purpose of this scenario is to throw me a few uncontainable questions that can’t be solved in the short term, right?”
As he thought about it, he started to walk back to the town.
In less than a minute, he was back in front of the gas station.
“Hmm … Even if a gas station like this doesn’t need to be open 24 hours a day …” Brother Jue looked at the empty parking lot and the rolled-up door in front of the shop. He mumbled helplessly,”but it’s already 8:30 in the morning … It doesn’t make sense that the door is still closed …”
That was true, but he couldn’t change the fact in front of him …
“In other words … Finding someone to fix a car or something … I’m just overthinking it.” Brother Jue touched his chin and said,”the plot here is fixed … Abandon the broken down car and head straight to the destination.”
He quickly turned around and walked a few steps to the sign outside the gas station.
In fact, he had already noticed this sign just now. Although the patterns and words on it had been mostly covered by oil, he could still vaguely see that … This should be a map of the town of aotaku.
“This can’t be a coincidence …” Feng bujue studied the visible part of the sign.”The road from the town entrance to the town square is pretty clear, but I can’t see anything else …” It only took him about ten seconds to use the graphic memory method to clearly memorize the picture on the sign.”Is this telling Wanwan to’ do not run around before reaching the post office ‘?”
“Hmph … Never mind … After all, I have to arrive before 9 am, so I don’t have much time. If we encounter any problems along the way, things will be hard to say … I’ll just follow the main storyline for now. ” As brother Jue spoke, he stepped onto the main road next to him.
