Chapter 28 The Strange Residents of the Town

When the townspeople in this small town saw Hughes, a trace of astonishment flashed across their faces, and then they became a little dazed.

They acted as if Hughes shouldn't have appeared here at all.

It's not like the reaction that ordinary villagers should have when they see strangers.

It's just that, Hughes doesn't think it's too weird, what really makes Hughes feel weird.

Those people, after being surprised, subconsciously glanced at every corner.

Then, as if they had received some signal, they all had expressions of enthusiasm and joy on their faces.

But that expression, no matter how Hughes looked at it, he felt fake.

Moreover, around the streets of this small town, there are many alleys criss-crossing, which is simply unusual.

In every corner of this street, Hughes could feel that there was someone there.

The knowledge and knowledge swept across the entire town, and sure enough, there were people squatting there in all the dark corners of the town.

The whole town feels like a fake to Hughes.

These villagers are the actors in the script, and the people in the dark are the supervisors one by one. Everything that happens in the small town is under someone's supervision.

And Hughes is a stranger who suddenly broke into this script.

Faced with this sudden situation, the actors seemed a little overwhelmed.

I couldn't help but look around at the supervisors, and finally received a hint to start playing roles according to their usual script.

The originally peaceful town suddenly became lively, whether it was on the surface or secretly.

It was already almost evening, but the excitement was almost no less than that of a banquet.

Hughes was so disgusted by this false enthusiasm that he almost vomited.

But when Hughes looked at the group of townspeople, Hughes found that beneath their fake enthusiasm was deep fatigue and fear.

The ones who are afraid, of course, will not be Hughes who entered this town for the first time, so it is only possible to be those people.

Those are the mysterious people hiding in the dark.

Hughes walked on the streets of this small town. There were people coming and going on the streets, but they all had the same warm smile on their faces.

At first glance, the residents of this small town seem to have a happy life, but these are only superficial phenomena.

At least Hughes didn't feel that their current expressions were really happy expressions.

In the alley, there were footsteps, and there were more people spying on him, and according to Hughes' perception, these people were all armed.

"It's really 'lively'."

Hughes ignored those people in the dark, the most important thing now is that he is hungry!
"Hey, where are the restaurants near here?"

Hughes grabbed a passerby with a fake smile on his face.

Passers-by struggled a bit, seeing that they couldn't get rid of Hughes' palm, so they could only resign themselves to their fate and turned to look at Hughes.

"Ah, the restaurant, it's there! By the way, the best thing in that restaurant is the kebab. The beef kebab there is very good. You must try it."

Passers-by read sentences like lines, guiding Hughes and recommending special dishes of restaurants.

Hughes rolled his eyes, patted this, and the passer-by who was a little stiff because he was forcibly held by Hughes, signaled him to leave.

"Welcome! My guest, what would you like to order?"

Compared with the stiff performance with passers-by, the owner of this restaurant is much more natural.

But his gaze always unconsciously glanced at other diners in the restaurant.

Hughes ordered a few pages of dishes casually, found a table and sat down.

The other staff in the restaurant kept staring at Hughes from the corner of their eyes after Hughes came in.

On the table in front of them, there was a glass of clear water. The table had just been wiped, and there were still wet spots on the table.

These people, Hughes also knew, were the figures in the dark place of the town before.

However, they finally chose to monitor Hughes in both light and darkness.

The food was brought out quickly, and Hughes didn't mind being stared at eating, they just looked at it.

The food was served quickly and the food in this restaurant is good.

Hughes also saw in the menu, the starry sky fish that he had eaten before, but here it is called the star fish.

The speed of serving food in restaurants is still not slow. The speed of Hughes' eating has reached a delicate balance with the speed of serving food.

The chefs in the back kitchen are almost exhausted, but they still have to cook non-stop.

Hughes had finished his table of food, but he was still eating.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I don't know! Didn't you put the medicine, why haven't you poured it yet?"

"Maybe it's not time yet"

"Are you kidding me? I'll go to the back kitchen to have a look."

"Well, little one, don't be found out."

Afterwards, the group of people who were whispering in the dark got up and walked to the door after finishing speaking. This restaurant has a back door.

They are still a little cautious.

Soon, those who went out came back.

"How about it?"

"Don't worry, I played it myself this time, and what's more, I played it enough to captivate even an elephant in an instant. I don't believe he won't fall this time!"

"That's good."

Hughes heard all their conversations verbatim. Although they thought they were speaking very lightly, it was just what they thought.

Hughes knew about drug addiction when he took the first bite, but Hughes didn't care about it.

To Hughes, drugs are just a kind of seasoning.

Not to mention what they put in, just such a small amount, even if it is eaten as a meal, Hughes can still eat it, but the taste will be a bit strange.

Soon, the food for the next table was served.

"Come! Come! This time, it will definitely work"

Those people were looking forward to watching Hughes eat the table of meals, but what shocked them was that Hughes not only didn't faint, but was still running around alive.

"what happened?!"

"Impossible! This time I put the medicine myself! I don't believe it!"

As he said that, the man actually ran to Hughes, and while Hughes bowed his head to eat, he took out a piece of meat from the mountain of food.

Just one bite and he fell down.

Before he fell into a coma, he murmured, "Look, I'm not wrong, I let you go."

Eventually it was his companions who dragged him away.

"idiot."

Hughes saw all his actions, not everyone's physique was the same as Hughes.

"What should we do now?"

"I can't help it. I've already reported it. Let's wait for the next notification."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

"What a monster, after taking so many drugs, nothing happened."

The people in the dark, one of them, had an inexplicable light in his eyes.

After eating table after table, he was finally full and left satisfied.

The townspeople on the street are still there, as if as long as Hughes stays in this town, the performance here will not stop.

But when they saw Hughes walking out of the restaurant intact, shocking expressions flashed across their faces.
