541 Weird Discovery
Back in the apartment where he woke up, took off his bloated coat, Lin Chi threw his clothes and hat on the floor, looked down at his shirt and trousers that had been soaked in sweat.
Even though he brought his own "resistance bonus" from the player, he was sweating heavily after walking this lap, and even suspected that he had obtained the DEBUFF of "heat stroke".
After opening the status bar and looking at it, Lin Chi finally felt relieved, sat on the sofa, turned his eyes to the boy leaning against the sofa, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm a little bored..."
Zhen said, opening her eyes, lifting her right hand and waving it. The radio on the cabinet next to her suddenly flew to the coffee table, and the switch was turned on and rustled.
Under the remote operation of the boy, the radio quickly adjusted to the band where the program could be received. As the noise disappeared, a female voice started to sound and mechanized the content of the news:
"In order to avoid sexual cues, even in summer, citizens must strictly abide by the regulations when traveling, and citizens in other outfits will be fined. In addition, please keep a smile in public places, and negative emotions such as frustration and anger are strictly prohibited. Hollomansk is a happy city, and we do not need other emotions!"
Listening to the sound coming from the radio, the boy turned around and opened his eyes to look at Lin Chi, and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think this is pure nonsense." Lin Chi commented mercilessly: "This is equivalent to stifling the residents' right to express their emotions."
Now, he finally understood the reason why the residents here insisted on wearing coats even in summer:
Of course, people don't want to dress like this, but they are forced to wear coats by the rulers of the city, and the reason is ridiculous:
"Sexual suggestion?" Lin Chi curled his lips, and his disdain was beyond words: "It seems that our streets are full of sexual suggestion."
"Ha, the place where I was born was very cold, and everyone was wearing thick clothes all year round." Zhen smiled happily.
Lin Chi was teasing the absurd rules of this place, but he did not relax his vigilance. He stood in front of the window and stared at the sidewalk without street lights, continuing to guess what might happen to the evening.
Even if the rules of the capital of Hell are very strange, it will not become the map with the most difficult victory because of this restriction. There are obviously other dangerous settings in this map, and... it should be related to "night".
Whether it is the tips before entering the game or the heavily guarded buildings in the game, it reminds players that nights in this city are dangerous. The streets without street lights have made Lin Chi strongly suspicious.
——What exactly will happen on the night of the "Hell Capital"?
He turned his head and looked at the plastic clock hanging on the wall. It was now three:30 pm, and it should be a few hours before dark.
Before the night comes, just spending time in the room may be taken advantage of by other games. Thinking of this, Lin Chi looked at the boy beside him and asked:
"Do you want to go out for a walk with me in a coat?"
"No, it's so hot." The boy's answer was concise.
"But your ability should change the temperature around us, right?" Lin Chi pointed out the focus of the matter.
"Okay, you saw through it..." Zhen smiled helplessly, stood up and shook his arms gently. A layer of gray matter suddenly condensed on the outside of his body, which looked like he was wearing a heavy coat.
"Please don't move." Zhen said as he stood in front of Lin Chi, stretched out his slender right hand and pressed it against his chest.
As the boy moved, Lin Chi also had a layer of gray shell on his body. The "coat" that Zhen used his superpowers to forge was very delicate in appearance, and there was no way to tell the difference between it and real clothes.
"Thank you." Lin Chi nodded in approval.
If he had been wearing a coat before and was like entering hell, then now he felt like he was in heaven: after wearing this "coat" made by Jen, he not only did not feel any stuffy, but instead seemed to have entered a low-temperature storage room with a refrigeration effect.
After forging the coat, Jen decorated hats and masks for the two, regaining their official designated dress.
The whole body was covered with a layer of low temperature substance. Lin Chi also felt a "cold heart" pleasure at this time. Although he felt very happy, he did not forget to remind him: "Don't get close to the patrol soldiers, it would be bad if they discovered it."
"Don't worry, no one will notice it except us." The boy nodded confidently, and his long hair began to be pulled upward into his hat, looking like a human-shaped "Transformers".
The two left the dirty and narrow apartment and returned to the stuffy street. With the close-fitting "ice armor", Lin Chi's pace also accelerated a lot. His body, which was about to be exhausted, finally recovered his strength again.
"Where are we going?" the boy asked curiously.
"I want to find a place to inquire about information." Lin Chi said and laughed twice, dealing with the two patrol soldiers coming from the front.
What he needs now is detailed information about what will happen at night in the capital of Hell. Obviously, the official will not provide such information, and will only order residents not to go out in the middle of the night.
If you want to obtain reliable information, you can only find hidden intelligence distribution centers. According to Lin Chi's experience in the game, such places are generally set up in entertainment venues such as bars and dance halls.
But… the situation in the capital of Hell is obviously different:
The two visited several taverns on the street, but found that the layout inside was very simple, with basically nothing except tables and chairs. It seemed that it was a place for eating.
"Our chef has already gotten off work at this time."
When Lin Chi and Zhen first entered the fourth tavern, a waiter in a coat came up and shook his head a little apology: "Please invite guests to come again tomorrow..."
"Don't you serve dinner?" Lin Chi asked casually.
As soon as these words were said, the waiter's face, who was not wearing a mask, suddenly twitched, and a hint of panic flowed through it. And this fleeting emotional fluctuation naturally failed to escape Lin Chi's eyes.
"That...you'll have dinner at home," the waiter whispered.
"Oh, I'm disturbing." Lin Chi said, turning around and leaving. After returning to the street, he looked back thoughtfully at the big signboard of the tavern.
——I just mentioned "night" and the other party began to frighten. The night in the capital of Hell was obviously very scary for ordinary citizens.
So, what are they afraid of?
When Lin Chi was guessing, the boy's voice sounded from his side:
"Did you find it? The weapons of those soldiers are very interesting..."
Hearing this, Lin Chi looked up at the two groups of patrol soldiers handed over in the distance and asked, "Is there anything strange?"
"I quietly checked when these soldiers passed by." Zhen narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice to tell the details she noticed:
"I found that their bullets were filled with mercury at the front."
