Lin Huai wiped off the blood that had splashed on his face with the back of his hand. After his madness, the fat man who was sitting on the ground was finally helped up by the old man and began to prepare to set off.

Chu Tianshu stood beside him and looked at him, Lin Huai wiped the blood from his face, turned back to him and said, "I suspect that the system has been scared by me and hasn't reacted yet. When I have set the value and deducted it, you remember—"

stop me.

Before Lin Huai finished speaking, his body moved on his own.

Lin Huai: Grass.

He heard the prompt sound of the system deducting the setting value of the person, and saw that he glanced at Chu Tianshu next to him, showed a frightened expression, and fled.

And what shocked him even more was...

Not only did Chu Tianshu not stop his actions...

He even took two umbrellas and followed him into the rain?

Lin Huai: ? ? ? Areyou OK?

Lin Huai made Lei Jun's voice, and saw his body running forward like a wild cat. Chu Tianshu held two umbrellas and ran beside him at the same speed, chasing after him, thus achieving a relatively static effect.

Lin Huai: ? ? ?

If the soul has color, then there should be a black question mark on top of Lin Huai's head. He watched his body traverse the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at a street corner - there, a shabby commercial street.

The street looked like it was selling small food and snacks. There are many izakaya and barbecue restaurants, ramen shops, and a stall selling oden on the corner of the road. However, the only thing they have in common is that they are all part of a black hole. The gloomy and cold wind blew these dilapidated storefronts, and even the wooden doors and windows with the window paper torn open made the sound of "hiss--" and "hiss--".

Just before Lin Huai was about to run into the commercial street, Chu Tianshu hugged Lin Huai from behind.

"It's here," he said.

Lin Huai had absolutely no idea what Chu Tianshu wanted to do. He could only struggle on the opponent's shoulders with his teeth and claws. Chu Tianshu just carried him on his shoulders.

Finally, the controlled time passed. The first thing Lin Huai did the moment he was released from the control of the system was to use his claws like electricity, hooking Chu Tianshu's throat with both hands and clamping them.

"Wait, wait...it hurts..." Chu Tianshu screamed that he was about to be strangled to death.

"What the **** are you doing?" Lin Huai said coolly.

"Go back first, calm down, calm down." Chu Tianshu explained intermittently under Lin Huai's poisonous hands, "Just now when you were under control, I thought of a point..."

Lin Huai snorted coldly and let go.

"That is, if the setting of this 'personal value' is intended to make you do more dangerous things in order to increase your personal value. Then when you lose control because of losing your personal value, is the place you go to? Will it be the most dangerous place in the current situation?"

"so what?"

"So," Chu Tianshu took out his flashlight and lit the dilapidated food street not far away with strong light, "this is the most dangerous place at this stage."

The food street is dark and empty. But Lin Huai felt a coolness for no reason. Chu Tianshu said: "Okay, since we have found this place, let's take note of the location and go back to pay attention to those NPCs."

"What about here?" Lin Huai stood on tiptoe and looked inside, "Do you want to go in and see? Although this place looks like a gathering place of stalls and hawkers who died in Waste Oil and Sudan Hongli because of unqualified health and quarantine... …”

He looked with his yin pupils and saw the strong yin qi lingering on the top of the food street...

However, he did not notice any cold creatures in the houses in the food street.

It looks as if it is indeed an ordinary, unmanned dilapidated snack street.

"Some things won't come out until night." Chu Tianshu shrugged, "Go back and follow them to explore the town first. I would like to see what tricks this group of people can play."

Lin Huai nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's more exciting at night. Just like a mobile phone, it's always the most fun after midnight."

Chu Tianshu:  …

Before leaving, he looked back, the dilapidated snack street was still buried in the hazy rain.

The two were walking back, and when they turned a corner, Chu Tianshu suddenly said, "Look over there, there seems to be a bathhouse."

"The bathhouse...that's called a bathing place." Lin Huai turned around speechlessly, and as expected, on the corner of the street, there was a bathing place with curtains.

A pair of lanterns hang under the eaves of the bathhouse. Pale lanterns swayed quietly in the rain.

Lin Huai walked over to have a look.

There was a slit in the middle of the curtain, so it became two pieces. Lin Huai looked inside through the gap, only to see the empty counter. The center of the hall is blocked by a wooden screen. Behind the screen, there are two bathrooms for "men" and "women".

There was a faint sound of mopping the floor behind the screen, as if someone was cleaning.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Chu Tianshu asked him.

Lin Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's go back and see the situation of those NPCs first."

With that, he put the curtain back.

Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu walked back. After they turned around, a thin hand finally lifted the curtain that Lin Huai had opened.

And in his other hand is dragging...

It was the corpse of a long-haired woman!

...

Lin Huai yawned and watched Chu Tianshu push open the door of the villa. Chu Tianshu showed a surprised expression after seeing a few people sitting honestly in the living room: "So you are still waiting here, I thought you had escaped long ago... No, you left."

Lin Huai gave a "tsk" in agreement.

"No, nothing, hahahaha." In the dead silence, only the good man replied, "Mr. Kobayashi is also for... the team."

"Look." Lin Huai bumped Chu Tianshu with his shoulder, "They are very sensible."

Chu Tianshu: "Yes, that's great."

It was still raining heavily outside, but despite this, the situation had developed to such an extent that everyone was not allowed to be willful. Just as the group was packing up their rain gear and preparing to go out, Lin Huai, who was isolated by the crowd, glanced at Chu Tianshu and walked back into the room.

He followed the other party in, and saw Chu Tianshu stepping on a stool, tiptoeing, and hanging the Sunny Day doll belonging to a fitness man on the eaves.

Lin Huai: ?

"What are you doing?"

"An experiment on sunny and rainy days." After Chu Tianshu finished speaking, he took the watch and counted an hour, "We'll see when we come back, how long this rain can last."

Lin Huai:  …

He and Chu Tianshu were the last two to leave the house. Outside the door, the rest of the people were already waiting tremblingly with umbrellas. The girl in the blue dress hid behind the girl in the yellow dress. She held an umbrella and lowered her head, as if she was afraid of something.

Lin Huai stared at her. The girl in the blue dress gave him the impression of a timid girl. She once lived in this town like a good old man and a girl in a white skirt when she was a child, and knew the horror of this town. After she had to come back with her fellow club members, she fell into extreme fear. The biggest impression he left on her was that she always hid behind the girl in the yellow dress.

After a while, Lin Huai faintly noticed a strangeness.

Weird characters about the good guy and the girl in the blue dress.

Not to mention the girl in the white skirt who has not been determined to be a ghost, the old man and the girl in the blue skirt are both indigenous people in this town. However, in the van, what the good man showed when he mentioned that he was going to return to the town was nothing but nostalgia and joy. On the contrary, the girl in the blue dress returned to the town in fear from the beginning. And from the beginning to the end, she seems to know far more things than the good old man, from the reminder of "don't hand things under the cherry tree", to the previous conflict with the fitness man in the car, to yesterday's fever...

Is the small town where they lived as children a few years ago really what this ghost town looks like now? And what qualities did the girl in the blue dress know more about the weirdness of this town?

Seeing Lin Huai glance at her, the girl in the blue skirt shrunk her body even smaller.

As the leader of the crowd, the girl in the red skirt naturally has to speak. She coughed and said, "Although the rain is still heavy, it has reached the point where we have to act. First of all, let's go to the mayor's house to see if we can find something... Huh?"

She stretched out her hand, caught the raindrops outside, and said with some confusion, "Is the rain...is it getting smaller?"

The rain has indeed decreased.

The pouring rain just now was gradually getting smaller, and finally, it became pattering. The sky turned from dark to haze, and the rain gradually disappeared.

The rain stopped.

"Okay! Let's take this opportunity to go out and explore." The faces of the few people finally eased a little, and the old man looked at Lin Chu and said in a pleasing manner: "I don't know about you..."

He unconsciously looked at Chu Tianshu first, but did not dare to look at Lin Huai.

"Tsk...my popularity is getting worse and worse."

Lin Huai walked behind the crowd, staring blankly, while Chu Tianshu followed him. Lin Huai scratched his hair and said, "It's just a little bit, but I'm so nervous..."

With that said, he looked up at the sky that was no longer raining, and said to Chu Tianshu, "What's going on?"

"It should be because of that sunny doll, do you remember? It stopped raining for a while yesterday." Chu Tianshu said, "Then on the eaves, there appeared the sunny doll of a dead girl in a white dress. She rotted over time, and after she rotted, the rain started again."

"...In other words, these NPCs." Lin Huai glanced at the crowd and whispered, "After their corpses become sunny dolls, can the sky clear up for a while?"

"OK."

"It's interesting." Lin Huai said.

Lin Huai held up a camera to record the journey to find the village chief. The atmosphere of the whole town was extremely desolate, and the people's livelihood was withered. Along the way, I saw only a few hurrying pedestrians, and even the boss sitting in the grocery store was deserted and listless.

"Hey."

After hearing Lin Huai's voice, the good old man shuddered.

"Did this town look like this when you were young?" Lin Huai asked him.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "No, the town was relatively prosperous when I was a child. Maybe it was because of the influence of industrialization..."

Lin Huai stared at the good old man's eyes, and the good old man turned his face away unconsciously. Then, Lin Huai said: "Speaking of which, I have something else I want to ask you."

After finding that Lin Huai was asking about the good man, Chu Tianshu also brought his ears close.

Lin Huai: "Your sister, how is it now?"

Chu Tianshu: ? ?

The old man was stunned for a while, and then stammered: "Sister, she... is still... alright."

"Oh?" Lin Huai gave him a meaningful look, and patted his shoulder with his hand, "Okay, I thought she would never forgive me. I didn't expect her to be so magnanimous, and she is still in my heart. Introduced me to my job when I was down and out. If there is still a chance, I will personally visit and thank her when I go back."

After saying this, Lin Huai clearly heard the prompt from the game's [person setting value -1]. At the same time, there was the excited voice of the girl in the red dress: "The town mayor's house is here!"

What appeared in front of everyone was a two-story white building. Only then did Lin Huai stop talking to the old man and turned to look at the mayor's house.

This time, he is not worried about the lowering of the human setting value at all, because he has found the meaning of the so-called "human setting value".

Since his character value has been reduced by one due to what he just said, it means that his questioning just now cuts to the heart of the game.

The girl in the red dress kept ringing the doorbell over and over again, but the mayor who should live in the building where the residence and office are integrated has never come out.
