Chapter 75 The Night That Never Sleeps

Chen Ye's figure quickly appeared at the intersection of the old city.

At this moment.

The aura of luck lingering in front of him suddenly became colorful.

White, yellow, green, red...

Colorful, kaleidoscope-like lines intertwined on the road surface of the pedestrian street.

Chen Ye suddenly glanced at the street and found that this road was full of people at a glance!

Residents wearing ordinary shirts and numb expressions, crowded in the vast crowd, walked like machines on the pedestrian street, as if they were shopping, or like aimless ghosts.

On both sides of the street, there were rows of passers-by, some holding umbrellas, some pushing carts, and some eating skewers... When the traffic lights came on, they walked in uniform steps across the road.

When the green light disappeared and turned into a red light, a little boy standing on the edge of the road was suddenly pushed by something and rushed to the other side of the red light.

The boy's expression flashed panic, and he looked around, not knowing where to go.

Suddenly, a black car drove from the side, honking the horn frantically. The shrill whistle suddenly broke through the night sky, and the whole world was as noisy as a boiling cauldron.

The boy was completely panicked and hurried to the other side of the road.

But as soon as he crossed the zebra crossing and stepped into the intersection of the red light, his figure suddenly disappeared.

It was like being erased by an eraser!

Opening the Eye of Luck, Chen Ye saw countless pale hands pulling the boy to a certain place... As for where he went and what the end would be, it was unknown.

He ran on the noisy pedestrian street, his heart beating wildly and his brain working fast.

At that moment, Chen Ye's intuition produced an extremely strong premonition-if he continued to stay there, a few steps slower, he would probably die!

The feeling of being watched by someone who had seen through his secrets seemed to have turned into a pair of devil's eyes, staring at his back.

Fortunately, when Chen Ye left the old city and walked out of the intersection, the omen of death on the verge of drowning gradually disappeared, but the feeling of being watched was still there...

At this moment, Chen Ye had only one thought in his mind, to return to the alley of Xining as quickly as possible!

He walked through the crowded crowd and walked along the road covered by white fog to avoid danger.

Next to him...

When the pedestrians with numb expressions met Chen Ye, they stepped back far away and made way for him.

They seemed to smell the blood on Chen Ye and were unwilling to get close, fearing that the disaster would affect them.

"As expected of a good citizen, they usually bully the good and fear the evil." Chen Ye complained silently, and calmed his still pounding heart.

Fortunately... the residents in the Weird Era generally have a stronger survival instinct. When they encounter a stronger Weird than themselves, or when they are threatened, they will take the initiative to avoid it.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of these aborigines.

Therefore, when Chen Ye was still a [Wanderer], he might encounter disaster if he looked up. But now, when his eyes fall on other ordinary residents, they should be careful whether disaster will befall them!

Even if walking in an area with extremely high traffic, the safety is much higher than at the beginning.

He did not look down at the bloody phone again. There were too many figures around him. The fates were constantly intertwined, and the aura of luck was in a mess. Sometimes the safe road covered by white fog was crowded with numb natives. They even had to use the ability of [Wanderer Boots] to quickly cross a few steps and bypass several unsafe places before they could reach the target location.

Sweeping away the calmness of the streets in the early morning, not only did the pedestrian street have a large number of pedestrians, but most of the shops on both sides began to open, and bright lights shone out from the windows.

Just then, Chen Ye passed by a hot pot restaurant, and the outside of the store was crowded with customers waiting in line.

Through the glass window of the store, you can see that there are customers in tattered clothes on the seats by the window, eating hot pot voraciously. After he finished eating, he looked around and seemed not to be ready to pay. He found an unattended gap and prepared to run away.

Unfortunately, a waiter stopped at the exit and showed the bill in his hand. You can see that the guest is quibbling about something, waving his hands, shouting loudly, with a hideous face and bulging veins on his neck.

The waiter was very patient at first, but he seemed to be getting more and more impatient. Finally, he threw the rude guest into the hot pot, which rose and fell with the boiling water.

Around the corner, a cafe was full of men in suits, and the coffee in their hands was full of rich blood.

When they drank it in one gulp, their eyes were intoxicated, as if they had forgotten themselves and were drunk.

Indistinctly, you can see a few transparent shadows in the cafe, floating like ghosts.

When Chen Ye passed by this cafe, he suddenly noticed that the air around him was a little colder.

He took a quick glance and found that there were countless chaotic lines in the air of the cafe, forming a mess of garbled code. It seemed that there was some invisible and unknown existence, hiding its body and wandering in it.

The billboard at the entrance of the coffee shop had the title of the store's signature drink - Bloody Mary.

Price: Free!

These shops were all surrounded by a thick black aura of evil spirits.

"The folk customs here are really good!"

Chen Ye sighed in his heart, it is indeed a new copy that he has never seen before. It is much more exciting than the "Mysterious Sea", "Amusement Park Haunted House" and "Ghost Story Academy" that were previously known as S-level copies!

Randomly scanning, there are at least several kinds of weirdness that he has never seen before.

Each of these shops is basically equivalent to a weird game copy. Players who go in to challenge will either become rich overnight or lose everything.

Fortunately... if you don't enter the shop casually, there will be basically no problems.

The bustling shadows passed by Chen Ye, and those faces with human faces did not have the slightest normal look.

Chen Ye's peripheral vision swept over these faces, and suddenly he felt as if he was visiting a wax museum. He felt uncomfortable unconsciously in his heart, and a word popped up in his subconscious mind-

Uncanny Valley Effect!

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of many players' feedback in the forum: "Don't go to the pedestrian street at night, it's hell!"

For players who were originally normal humans, this place is indeed no different from an endless hell.

It was like an ordinary person going to the scariest haunted house in the world, but the ghosts inside were not fake, and they were all crowded around him. If his psychological quality was not good, he would probably lose consciousness on the spot.

However, when Chen Ye thought of his appearance as a [Devourer], it seemed that he was no different from the natives here.

We are all the same.

After calming down his pounding heart, he naturally integrated into the folk atmosphere here, and followed the safe white halo line all the way back to the alleys of Xining.

Places with high traffic are concentrated in prosperous areas.

Finally, leaving the noisy pedestrian street and coming to the intersection of Longhua Avenue, the crowded figures were left behind, and the air became fresher.

Just then...

Across the road from Longhua Avenue, a clown suddenly appeared!

Chen Ye glanced at the clown mask, and suddenly a feeling of extreme sadness emerged unconsciously in his heart.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, closed his eyes, shook his head violently, and tried to stay awake...

When he raised his head again, the clown's figure suddenly disappeared again. Only the dim street lights illuminated the empty road. Several drunkards staggered under the street lights, occasionally uttering vulgar curses.

Chen Ye raised his head and saw the aura of luck on his head, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of glass color.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This kind of aura of luck should not be in too much danger..."

The uneasy feeling of tracking gradually disappeared at this moment.

Chen Ye followed the stairs of Longhua Avenue and went down to the familiar Xining alley.

When he just walked in, a melodious erhu sound came from the alley.

Chen Ye's mind immediately calmed down with the gentle and cheerful music and returned to tranquility.

...

Various novel settings need to be gradually refined, and will be gradually and systematically explained later.
