Chapter 59 Turn Off the Lights! (Please Read! Please Collect! Please Vote for Me!)
The dim lights illuminated an area of the underground hall. Several moths fluttered their wings and kept hitting the glass cover of the light source. People in doll costumes gathered in front of three stalls, leaning over from time to time to pick up a math textbook and talking quickly in a low voice.
Zhou Zhen, wearing a doll costume of a little yellow duck, squeezed through the crowd and squatted in front of a stall. In front of everyone, he grabbed a high school math textbook, stood up, and quickly flipped through it.
Seeing that the "frog" was walking towards him immediately, Zhou Zhen was ready to attack at any time!
The opponent and he were both "first-level ladders", and the "digital domain" was less suitable for fighting than him. Even if the two of them fought head-on, he was confident that he would not lose!
However, for the sake of caution, he still had to wait until the opponent's full attention was attracted by the math textbook in his hand before taking action!
Just as he was thinking, the "frog" had already walked in front of him, and the two sides were separated by only a stall full of math textbooks.
Zhou Zhen began to secretly accumulate strength all over his body.
However, just when he thought that the "frog" would snatch the math textbook from his hand as soon as possible, just like it did to the "white goose", the "frog" suddenly took an abnormal step back.
"Everyone!"
"This transaction needs to add a rule!"
Add a rule? !
Zhou Zhen frowned. On the way here, Xie Qiongning told him that the organizer of this trade fair would often modify the trading rules inexplicably...
In this situation, is the other party just going to change the rules?
Or did they discover something?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen couldn't figure out the other party's background for a while, so he didn't act rashly and continued to pretend to read the math textbook in his hand.
"Everyone knows that this textbook is very dangerous!"
"If you are not careful, you may be infected by the mathematical knowledge in the textbook and become a 'digital infected'!"
"Therefore, in order to prevent anyone from flipping through the textbooks at the trade fair, starting from this transaction, all future transactions will add a rule..."
"Trade with the lights off!"
As soon as the voice fell, "Frog" immediately pressed the remote control switch in his pocket, and all the lights in the venue went out in an instant!
This long-abandoned underground hall immediately fell into pure darkness, and it was pitch dark.
At this time, Zhou Zhen had been looking down at the textbook. When he heard the words "turn off the lights", his heart tightened, but before he could look up, his eyes were instantly dark!
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly took two steps forward, crossed the stall, and reached out to grab the place where "Frog" had just stood.
In the darkness, his arm was not hindered by anything, and all his strength was in vain.
Zhou Zhen reached out and grabbed a handful of air, and "Frog" was no longer there!
Thump, thump, thump...
The subtle and rapid footsteps gradually faded away.
Zhou Zhen immediately reacted, "Frog" had escaped!
This newly added rule was aimed at him!
The other party had already discovered him!
Although he had not really taken action from beginning to end!
With his mind racing, Zhou Zhen did not delay and quickly chased in the direction of the footsteps.
Now there was no light source in the entire underground hall, it was dark like a tide, and his vision was blocked. His [Overclocking Interference] could not lock on the other party, so he had to catch up immediately.
Otherwise, when the other party escaped far away, it would be really troublesome!
At the same time, although many buyers had become accustomed to the "Frog"'s frequent changes in the rules, they were suddenly plunged into darkness in this unfamiliar environment, and the whole crowd was suddenly in a commotion.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Trading with the lights off prevents people from breaking the rules. We can flip through the textbooks during the transaction, but we can't see anything. How do we know what we have chosen?"
"Your rules are getting more and more unreasonable!"
"We can't see the textbooks now, but we can't even see people. How can we trade?"
"Hey, hey... turn on the lights quickly! I want the one in front of me. Turn on the lights and I'll pay right away!"
"Yes, turn on the lights quickly! If you are really worried, you can think of other rules. This rule is not reasonable at all!"
"Haha, it's pitch black... someone just took the textbook and ran away. You may not know whether he paid or not..."
Just as the buyers were complaining, a beam of snow-white light lit up from the darkness.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the light source and saw a figure wearing a cheetah doll costume standing outside the crowd, holding a pen-shaped strong light flashlight in his hand, illuminating the darkness around him.
"Cheetah" pointed to the back of the stall and said calmly: "Stop arguing, 'Frog' is gone!"
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of "Cheetah" and saw that the three stalls were still there, but the open space behind the stalls was empty, and there was no sign of "Frog" at all.
The "Frog" who just said that he wanted to add rules had disappeared!
All the buyers were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, one of the buyers wearing a "Cheese Cat" doll costume immediately asked: "'Frog' just said to turn off the lights to trade, just to escape?"
"We are all old business, why did he do this?"
Hearing this, a buyer wearing a "Peacock" doll costume suddenly said: "Could it be that the textbook is fake?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of all the buyers hidden in the doll costumes changed. A buyer wearing a "golden monkey" doll costume immediately said: "Is there anyone who understands mathematics? Check the textbook!"
Before anyone else could speak, "Big White Goose" immediately replied: "I am a math teacher! I can tell whether the textbook is true or false!"
As he said that, he immediately picked up a textbook and started flipping through it.
The light around them was dim, and they could only barely make out the outlines of each other's dolls. The buyer next to him quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on a flashlight to illuminate the "big white goose".

Underground corridor.
There was no light, it was darkness. Even through the doll clothes, the musty smell unique to sealed spaces that had been sealed for many years was constantly coming from the tip of the nose.
Zhou Zhen followed the location in his memory and quickly chased him out of the hall.
He had just chased into this corridor when he tripped over something. The moment he was about to fall, he immediately flipped and landed firmly on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhen stretched out his hand and touched the ground. There was a soft touch on his fingertips. There seemed to be a harder frame hidden in the softness... It was a "frog" shaped headgear!
This should have been thrown away by "Frog" in order to reduce the load when he escaped!
Zhou Zhen frowned. Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther, he quickly identified the direction and immediately chased to the left.
He was completely unfamiliar with the terrain here, but "Frog's" physical strength and speed were obviously very average. Under his full sprint, the distance between the two quickly narrowed.
Zhou Zhen immediately took out the scalpel and was ready to fight at any time, but at this moment...
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Suddenly there was an extremely painful scream from ahead!
