Chapter 291 Everyone on the Street Is Looking at You
When the sun goes down, the classic cars also get off the highway overpass.
The second-tier city was already within reach on the horizon, but it was different from Azula.
If the second floor of Azula is a big umbrella standing on the ground, then this second-floor city seems to be still under construction, with several small umbrellas standing on the ground, and the whole city seems to be in bulk.
However, compared to the second floor, there is another point that attracts the attention of outsiders.
When the sports car stopped at the edge of the city, Ash couldn't help but said: "Isn't it very foggy here?"
Even at dusk, the entire city is still shrouded in white fog, and the warm yellow light becomes more ambiguous. However, this kind of fog does not make people feel penetrating, but seems to add a blurry filter, making people feel the hazy beauty of the city.
Harvey sniffed and held the cat grass cigarette in his mouth without lighting it.
"Fog is a local specialty of Fanmula. I'm not used to it before, but we will only stay here for a few days, so just bear with it." An Nan motioned for everyone to get out of the car, and then sent the antique car to where it should be. Garbage dump next to the place.
It is impossible to continue riding classic cars in the city. On urban roads where floating cars are efficiently ruled, classic cars are simply the noise of classical music. It is so harsh that it will cause red hats to knock on the car window and sue you for maliciously disrupting intercity traffic.
“Wanna ride a bike again?”
"No, this time it's an autonomous scooter."
Like Azula, there are also carports for rental vehicles on the outskirts here. However, compared to Azula’s healthy riding, Vanmula seems to prefer cool outdoor entertainment, so everyone stood on the scooters and entered slowly. This hazy city.
"By the way, Ash, put on the cloak." An Nan suddenly remembered: "Without my order, you are not allowed to take off the cloak at any time unless you are going to take a shower. You must also wear it when meditating and entering the virtual realm."
"Do I need it even when I get to the safe house?" Ash was a little confused: "I know I do need a cloak to hide my identity. After all, I am the only wanted criminal by the Empire's Red Hat... But I don't need to wear it when I settle down, right?"
"No, have you forgotten your demon windbreaker?" An Nan shook his head: "I thought about it carefully. The two people from the Broken Family Office retreated too quickly last night. They couldn't have been scared away by you. Yes, so I can only be scared away by you."
"...Miss, promise me not to be the Riddler like Igula."
Igulla said faintly: "If you don't understand, just tell me riddles... Maybe the gospel is right, and letting you immerse yourself in ignorant fantasies is not a blessing."
An Nan shook his head: "What I mean is that your evil windbreaker may be able to scare people who see you for the first time, and the shock effect only depends on the level of the spiritual faction, which means that it is possible for two-wing or even three-wing magicians. You will suffer a loss.”
"So your demon windbreaker may become an important trump card. People must not easily see your true appearance under the cloak. You can only take it off at a critical moment."
"...Why do you make me look like a beautiful woman who just takes off my clothes when encountering difficulties..." Ash muttered as he put on a full-covering cloak, looking more like a wanted criminal than a wanted criminal.
Liz happily skated on the scooter. Although she had never ridden a scooter, it was obvious that scooters were more attractive to children than bicycles. She quickly mastered the use of the scooter and walked to the front of the team to have fun, as if she were on an outing. The same.
When she passed two pedestrians, they suddenly turned to look at her at the same time.
One of the two people was a dark-skinned human and the other was a green-skinned lizard man. They didn't seem to know each other, but they both set their sights on the white-haired little girl.
Liz immediately retreated to Ash's side, but when a group of them passed by, the two local residents still paid attention to them.
There are no emotions such as disgust, happiness, or curiosity in the eyes of the locals, but more like the expressions of seeing an unknown classmate suddenly running into the class.
As they got deeper into the city, the attention became more and more frequent. Pedestrians on the street stopped, guests in the outdoor cafe put down their tea cups, and passengers in the floating car poked their heads out.
In all directions, from heaven to earth, it is impossible to avoid or ignore.
The six of them seem to have a soul-stirring charm that attracts everyone's attention wherever they go.
At this time, not only Ashuris, but also Harvey and Igulla felt terrified. This feeling of being watched silently by everyone while walking on the street will bring about many cruel fantasies in people's minds. The sight is like a lead weight, making people breathless, and even the air seems to become thinner.
"Harvey, I'm sorry."
"Um?"
"What you said makes sense." Igula whispered: "The dead are indeed much better than the living. At least the dead will not look at me like this."
Harvey hesitated: "Actually, a corpse can look at you like this."
"It's such a pity that one of the advantages of the dead has been lost. I won't learn from the Necromancer faction anymore."
But unlike outsiders, An Nan and Ban Ji were emotionally stable throughout the whole process and didn't care about other people's eyes at all. When they arrived at the free urban rail subway station, An Nan actually motioned for everyone to sit on it, took the initiative to walk into the narrow carriage space, and accepted the baptism of gaze from all other passengers.
Liz was so cowardly that she hid her head in Ash's arms, and Ash really wanted to bury his face in An Nan's arms, but he was also afraid!
He didn't dare to look inside the car at all, so he had no choice but to cast his gaze toward the warm sky outside the car window. However, the fog inside the city not only did not dissipate, but instead became thicker and sweeter. The setting sun and the full moon, which were competing for the power of sky supremacy, were as ambiguous as a bedside fight under the filter of light fog.
However, Fanwula’s air logistics system seems to be weaker than Azula’s. If Azula’s drone swarm is the campus canteen where class has just finished at noon, then Fanwula’s drone swarm is the bathroom between classes: sparse. I don’t know if it’s because Fanmula’s consumption level has dropped or because people here don’t like online shopping.
The rail car stopped and the new passengers entered the carriage. Ya Xiu and others instantly felt that the locals were watching them vaguely, and suddenly parted ways to look at the two new passengers.
Even if they didn't know the local customs at all, they immediately realized the meaning of this move: the two new passengers were not locals like them!
Sure enough, the two new passengers looked at An Nan and the other six and walked straight over. One of them is a strong orc, and the other is a skinny goblin. They don't have any weapons on their appearance, but most of the evangelists use gun weapons. Looking at their waists covered with windbreakers, you can tell that they are following. The version trend.
They stood next to An Nan's seat: "Zi Fei Moth, the Baroness would like to say hello to you. I am from Hao Yueyuan Office."
"You must have been active in Fanmula these days." An Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Do you like this city?"
"Ban Mula is a Brahma Mula with six coats of arms. We are not with six coats of arms. How can we like this city of no return." Goblin smiled and said: "We are here to go on a mission to nearby Ariando, and we are getting ready. When we went back, we received an order from the Baroness to come to Vanmula to wait for you. Originally, we had no hope and hurried back after waiting a few days. Unexpectedly, luck fell on our side. From the Gospels, we found out that there were foreigners in Vanmula at this time. There are 5 more people, just enough to match your number."
Use the Gospels to check the alien population to determine their whereabouts?
Ya Xiu and others instantly came up with two pieces of information: first, there were very few outsiders in Vanmula, and second, the Broken Family Office really couldn't obtain their information directly, so it could only judge their movement trajectory in this roundabout way.
but……
Aren't there 6 of them? Why did the immigrant population only increase by 5?
"Are you sure luck is on your side?" An Nan touched the amethyst earrings and sneered: "This is Brahma, not Azula. How dare you take action?"
An Nan did not lower his voice when he said this. After the locals around him heard these words, their eyes became sharper and heavier, but they still sat quietly in their seats and watched the group of foreigners indifferently. A conflict over fishing.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Goblin smiled slightly and called out his gospel. Then the rail car suddenly braked, and the strong inertia made the passengers almost jump forward. Ya Xiu and others, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally quickly stabilized their movements and prepared to fight against the bastard from the Broken Family Office.
"do not move."
An Nan's words made the men's killing intent stay in sight, but strangely, the orcs and goblins did not take the opportunity to attack them. Instead, they stood nearby carelessly, as if taunting them, "Come and beat me." .
The railcar began to back up and run wildly out of the city.
The other passengers arranged their clothes and sat back down. They did not complain about this unnecessary disaster. They just looked at them like dead people, as if they disdained any verbal communication with the dying cockroaches.
Igulla suddenly asked: "Is it illegal to strike first?"
"Those who hurt others first in public will be labeled as criminals by the Gospel, and will even proactively remind the red hats to arrest the person." Banji explained: "And after the criminal commits the crime, other people will automatically gain control of the criminal. The unlimited right of self-defense, so who strikes first is very important. Of course, it is limited to the public. If it is a private area, although the Gospel knows it, it will not take care of it, and the red hat can only investigate on its own."
So even though An Nan's house was demolished last night, the Gospel would not report the house-breaking agency to the police. It only requires that PVP is not allowed in public areas, but PVP in private areas is an internal dispute between players and is not within the jurisdiction of the Gospel.
The two people's plan was very simple and they would directly control the rail car to leave Fanmula and return to Azura. Whoever started first would be the winner.
Although Ya Xiu is wanted at this time, An Nan and others are still innocent. Red Hat can only attack Ya Xiu due to emotion and reason, and cannot do anything to them law-abiding citizens.
For example, they were sitting in a car. In order to protect the safety of An Nan and others, the red hat could only stop them and force Ash to come out, but he could not destroy them with an explosion of inflammation. No matter how advanced the medical capabilities here are, they must not be at the expense of the interests of legitimate citizens. This is a dead line that cannot be touched by the Red Hat.
But if they take the initiative to provide evidence, the red hat will not have so many scruples to attack. They can even kill them first and then pull them up through treatment and slowly judge them.
This plan is actually to see if An Nan has the determination to make a desperate move. If she cannot give up her legal citizenship, she will have no choice but to accept the 'Azula One Day Trip' grand prize offered by the Broken Family Firm.
Of course, they have another option: let Ash, who is already a wanted criminal, deal with the two of them.
Let's not talk about whether Ash can beat him or not, but as long as Ash shows up in public, he will directly trigger the Empire's wanted order, and the red hats in the entire city will come to compete for this drop-from-the-sky reward.
What's more, Ash really can't defeat the two two-winged magicians, unless he triggers the special effect of the evil windbreaker again this time. But what if that doesn't work?
The safest way is for An Nan and others to suppress the two affairs commissioners with thunderous force and then flee immediately, but...
Igula looked at An Nan and didn't see any plan on the eldest lady's pretty face. She seemed happy to see it come to fruition.
The Trickster gestured to the Necromancer, and Harvey raised his eyebrows.
Since the eldest lady is unwilling to take action, then we can just force her to take action.
From the beginning to the end, Iguola and Harvey's attitude towards their bosses has not changed.
The identity of a wanted criminal is more intimate to them than an ID card. If they can take the opportunity to bring the eldest lady into the same camp, they can't think of any reason to refuse.
At this time, the rail car passes through a street, which is a clear dividing line between cities. To the north is the core two-story urban circle of Fanmula, and to the south is the new urban area that is in urgent need of development.
At this moment, Ya Xiu and others all felt as if something had been taken away from their bodies. They felt that their bodies were empty, and even their thinking had become sluggish, and they could no longer get motivated to do anything.
Other passengers behaved even more obviously, lowering their heads like withered flowers, no longer able to even look at the outsiders.
The rail car suddenly braked suddenly, but it was not forced to stop, but due to the hesitation of the operator.
In just a few breaths, the faces of the orcs and goblins turned pale and wilted, and their hands and feet were trembling. The orcs were doing better, just gasping for air. The goblins knelt on the ground, drooling uncontrollably. Their heartbeats were so loud that they echoed throughout the carriage.
