Chapter 369 Today's World

"It seems like the world hasn't changed much from what it used to be."

Fei Lun stared at the sea in front of him, and then spoke.They have successfully thrown off those pursuers.Right now, I am taking a break in one place. This is an amusement park, and a carnival is being held right now.Everyone ran to watch the excitement, even Delin and Franka were no exception. They appeared in this world as familiars at the time when the catastrophe broke out, so these familiars have never seen a big catastrophe. What was the world like before the catastrophe?At the moment, they are excitedly walking around in front of various amusement facilities. Only Faerun and the elf girl are sitting on the chairs beside them with serious faces. Of course, they will not enjoy and explore like those people. On the contrary, At this moment, both of them were full of doubts.

Because only they know how much material is needed to maintain the operation of such a large city.Objectively speaking, Phelan could not find any factors that could explain this.It is certain that the entire city is completely isolated from the outside world, but the materials of the entire city can only enter and exit, and according to the law of energy conservation, there is no limit.In fact, even the energy network is limited in scope, so why did it become like this?
"What do you think?"

"I don't know either, Mr. Phelan."

The elf girl at the moment is also very depressed. She originally thought that she would experience a great adventure in the ruins, but the current situation made the elf girl feel that she would rather go through a great adventure in the ruins.

"I think it's weird here...I don't know what to say, but I just think it's weird here..."

"makes sense."

While speaking, Fei Lun stood up.

"It's not an option for us to think wildly here, so we might as well find someone else to ask about the situation."

"other people?"

Hearing Fei Lun's words, the elf girl couldn't help being taken aback, but she soon realized that Fei Lun left the crowd and walked towards a deserted alley.The elf girl also hurriedly followed. Although she didn't know what Faerun was going to do, the elf girl instinctively felt that Faerun probably didn't want to do something good.

In fact it is.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Just as Fei Lun was about to enter the office area, a guard came over and blocked their way.But Fei Lun glanced at him. The next moment, the elf girl only felt a blur in front of her eyes. Accompanied by the heavy collision sound coming from her ears, when she followed the sound again, she was surprised to find that the guard was not Knowing when Fei Lun had grabbed his throat and pressed it against the wall, he stretched out his left hand, and a sharp scalpel was pressed against the guard's neck.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Facing this scene, the guard couldn't help but speak with a livid face and trembling body.But Fei Lun just carefully looked at the expression of the guard in front of him, and after a while, he asked.

"What's your name?"

"Richard...my name is Richard..."

"Very well, Richard, where do you live?"

"I, I live in..."

Hearing this question, the guard obviously hesitated, but after Fei Lun's scalpel was pressed against his neck, he finally gave out an address quickly.

"So tell me what you've been doing all day."

"me………"

Richard didn't understand what Fearon was asking at all, but he still answered honestly.

"I wake up, make breakfast, send the kids to school, and come to work. I have a kid, please, don't kill me, I can give you money if you want..."

"How about the prices?"

"Prices? There are no special changes in prices, but the bakery over there has raised prices again..."

"Have you been to the hospital recently?"

"This, I once..."

If it weren't for the threat of holding a scalpel, the current Faerun in the elf girl looks more like a community worker who is conducting investigations and feedback on the lives of the community.His questions are quick and cover everything from health care to education security to rising prices and how business is doing at amusement parks these days.He even asked about some things about the guard's family. Of course, the guard didn't understand why Fei Lun held the knife against him and didn't steal money or kill people. Instead, he asked these strange questions, but he also gave the answer as quickly as possible. Answer.

"very good."

After listening to the guard talk about what happened in the community recently, Phelan nodded.And as if realizing that the conversation was over, the guard hurriedly began to beg.

"Please, sir, let me go. I still have a child. I promise I will give you whatever you want."

"Well, I have one last question."

Staring at the guard in front of him, Phelan asked in a low voice.

"Do you know what day it is today?"

"........."

But to the surprise of Fei Lun and the elf girl, this time, the guard did not answer the question immediately. Even after hearing this question, his eyes became blank for a moment, and his pupils gradually dilated, as if he was a The person who was about to die—but at the next moment, as if being shocked by an electric shock, the guard trembled suddenly, and looked at Faerun again, showing a pleading expression.

"Please, sir, let me go. I still have a child. I promise I will give you whatever you want."

The same expression, the same rhetoric, it seems to be a repeat of just now, but what Fei Lun needs is obviously not this problem.

"Let me ask you, what day is today?"

"…………………"

"Please, sir, let me go. I still have a child. I promise I will give you whatever you want."

What's happening here?
Seeing the guard repeating a line like a machine again, Fei Lun and the elf girl exchanged glances, then Fei Lun let go of the man in front of him without hesitation, and then saw a cold light flashing through the scalpel in his hand, and directly Cut the body of the guard in front of him completely.

"Pfft."

The guard who received the fatal blow lay on the ground like this, his eyes wide open and a look of fear on his face.Blood spilled from his body, falling to the ground along with his internal organs.Seeing this scene, the elf girl couldn't help but turn her head and cover her mouth.This was not the first time she had seen Feren kill someone, so she felt a little resistant, but even so.The scene in front of her still made the elf girl unable to bear to look at it.

"It's really strange... His internal structure is no different from that of humans?"

Paying no attention to the elf girl next to him, Ferenza carefully inspected the guard's body and even cut open his brain. However, it was obvious that Ferenza did not find any artificial objects inside.

However, the guard's appearance just now was obviously abnormal.

It is not so much a human being as it is a special kind of creation.Just like an NPC in a game, players can only ask him specific questions, and once they go beyond this range, they will just repeat the lines in the loop.

"What do you think?"

After confirming that he couldn't find any clues from the guard, Fei Lun decisively left the scene with the elf girl.Facing Faerun's question, the elf girl shook her head in bewilderment.She also understood that something was definitely wrong, but the elf girl couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"It seems we have to wait for the results of Kurona's investigation."

Fei Lun obviously didn't intend to get any answer from the elf girl, so he could only shake his head helplessly.But just as he stood up, intending to get a bottle of drink from the vending machine next to him, suddenly, the elf girl stood up suddenly and grabbed Faerun's arm forcefully.

"Fei, Mr. Phelan! Over there! Over there!!"

"Ok?"

Seeing the pale face of the elf girl, Fei Lun couldn't help turning his head and looking in the direction she pointed.In the alley where they came out just now, a guard was walking out. He touched his head with one hand, showing a confused expression, looked around as if he hadn't woken up, and then staggered back. .

If Fei Lun read it correctly, that person was the guard he had killed before.
