NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 79 Don't go out after dark?
The ancient capital Tianhai, this is a city with a longer history than Tianye, the difference is that it has completely evolved into a modern metropolis in recent decades.

This place has not been affected by the war, everything is the same as before.

It was already dusk when An Miao and Erica arrived in Tianhai City. The red sunset shrouded the entire city in strange colors, and thin mist filled every corner. This was a unique landscape that could only be found in Tianhai City.

Although she had expected it, Mio was still a little surprised when she actually arrived here. The colorful lights of the street in the distance had been lit up, an unknown song was playing on the huge radio screen, and vehicles were passing through the tall buildings like fireflies.

This city gives people a sense of luxury everywhere. In comparison, Jiangcheng is really just a small country town.

But An Mio always felt that there was an indescribable weird feeling, and this feeling appeared after they left the airport.

"Sister, those people seem to have disappeared, where are we going?" Erika pulled the corner of An Mio's clothes and pointed to the direction behind her.

After Erica said this, An Mio looked back and finally understood where this sense of disobedience came from, because there were no pedestrians, no matter in front of him or behind him, there were speeding vehicles everywhere on the intricately intertwined streets, but But there was no pedestrian in sight.

The people who walked out of the airport with them also gradually disappeared, and they were the only two pedestrians left on the street all day long.

The situation seems a little weird, like this kind of metropolis with almost no night, but it is already like this at dusk.

But An Miao didn't think she had seen a ghost. Although there were no pedestrians in sight, the vehicles were still noisy. But when An Miao wanted to stop a car and ask about the situation, the drivers stepped on it as if they had seen a ghost. The throttle is gone.

In desperation, Mio had no choice but to take Erica along the street to find a hotel. She felt that she would probably sleep on the street if she waited any longer. Anyway, Erica still had a travel pod that she carried with her.

Fortunately, although no pedestrians can be seen on the street, other indoor places are still lively. An Mio quickly found a big hotel, which looked very expensive. An Mio walked in with some distress, she really didn't want to look for it somewhere else.

The hall was a bit deserted, the receptionist at the front desk lowered her head and nodded from time to time, as if she was looking at something, but she didn't respond when Mio and An Mio came in.

Are all the receptionists so eager to learn now?She was still reading while working, and Mio was speechless when she walked to the counter.

The woman in front of her is not reading a book. There is a ledger in front of her, and the woman is taking a nap in front of the ledger.

Boom boom boom!
An Mio knocked hard on the counter twice, the woman let out an exclamation, subconsciously backed away, and directly threw her and her chair on the ground.

hiss!An Mio felt pain even looking at it.

Erika was too low to see what was going on, and looked at Mio curiously after hearing the voice.

"Shh!" An Mio made a silent gesture for Erica.

At this time, the woman got up from the ground, straightened her clothes, and sat down again.

"Check in? Bring your ID card!" After the woman sat down, she glanced at An Mio, her face was not very good-looking.

"A double room." An Mio threw her ID card to the woman. Although the woman's attitude was very bad, she was also responsible after all.

The woman took a look at the ID card, raised her head and looked at An Mio in surprise: "Outsider?"

"What's wrong with the outsider?" An Mio was puzzled, the woman's reaction was a bit strange, whoever came to your hotel if it wasn't an outsider?Unless some young lovers.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are a lot of outsiders in the city recently, it's just a little strange." The woman was about to lower her head when she finished speaking, but she caught a glimpse of Erika who was almost as tall as the counter, and then she understood why An Mio wanted a double room .

The woman immediately cast a sympathetic look at An Mio, and her attitude was much gentler, "It's not easy to raise a daughter by yourself, is it?"

"..."

On purpose, the woman definitely did it on purpose. She was taking the opportunity to retaliate against what happened just now. An Mio didn't expect this woman to be so vengeful. Even if she thought about it with her toes, she knew that the 16-year-old An Mio could not have such a big daughter.

"It's my sister, not my mother!" Erica said suddenly and said seriously.

An Mio was taken aback, isn't that what she said to Erica back then?She gave Erica a thumbs up in her heart.

The woman smiled awkwardly when she heard the words, "Sorry, I was wrong."

The woman didn't speak any more. She lowered her head and started to check in for An Miao. After a while, the woman raised her head again and said, "1800 star coins for a double room!"

1800 star coins!This is simply a money grab!An Mio still remembered that staying in a hotel in Jiangcheng was only 100 stars.

An Mio glanced at the price list on the counter in disbelief, and it was really the price, so she could only pay the accommodation fee with some distress.

"I want to ask, why are there no pedestrians on the street outside at this time?" After paying the money, the woman's attitude became better, An Mio took the opportunity to ask.

"I'm just going to tell you about this! It's not peaceful here at night recently. Don't come out and run around in the end. There are more and more people missing these days." The woman leaned forward and said in a low voice, " So now everyone will not go out in the evening, even if they go out, they will drive their cars, and if they are stopped by someone while driving, they must not stop."

So it is!An Mio nodded secretly, no wonder when she wanted to stop a car to inquire about the situation, the driver just drove away to look.

But from what this woman said, this matter is more and more like a ghost story, don't go out after dark?
After finishing speaking, the woman glanced at An Mio, but found that An Mio's expression was normal, she didn't know what she was thinking about, she was very dissatisfied with An Mio's performance, this girl was not scared at all!So what's the use of her talking so much?

"Okay, okay, I've said everything I need to say, you guys go upstairs to rest!" The woman waved her hands and urged.

An Miao nodded and took Erica upstairs.

Although An Mio felt that the woman's statement was somewhat exaggerated, this matter was obviously much more serious than what she had known before.

Those strangers who suddenly appeared in the woman's mouth should refer to the players, but Mio has not seen the shadow of the players until now, it stands to reason that the group of players should not be hiding like ordinary residents.

Before she left, An Mio already knew that her story was widely circulated among the players, and she became a popular NPC in the hearts of many players. Regarding her coming to the ancient capital of Tianhai, she also entrusted the Yueling brothers and sisters to spread the word in the forum .

Under normal circumstances, it would definitely not be like this. Even if the group of players didn't know that she was here, it was impossible for no player to see her.

The situation is weird, weird in every sense of the word, and the city itself has a weird feel to it.

After finding her own room, Mio ordered a random dinner, and then prepared dinner for Erika.

After eating, Erica took out the travel cabin and went to sleep. Even Erica, who was full of energy after a day's journey, was a little tired.

An Mio didn't go to sleep directly, but lay on the bed and was about to visit the player forum.

But soon she showed a look of surprise, the forum was unable to connect, and she could not connect to the world network.

I don't know if it's because of this hotel, An Mio remembers that the last time this happened was in the underground experiment base.

If you can't connect to the online forum, you can only find the local Imperial Administration branch tomorrow to find out the situation.
