The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

Everyone walked along the path while observing the scene in the town.

"There are so few people..." Xie Yuanyuan muttered.

Indeed, the tidy streets were empty, and there was no one there, only the hot wind blowing back and forth brushed their clothes and messed up their hair.

The glass doors of restaurants are closed, the shops are empty, and the roofs of cars parked on the side of the road are covered with dust, as if abandoned by their owners.Wen Zheliu seemed to catch a glimpse of some movement from the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw a woman was standing upstairs, peeping at them through the curtain that was partly parted. Her eyes were full of vigilance and vigilance. He heard that Zheliu had spotted her. , her expression changed, she frowned hastily, and threw the curtains shut.

"It's so weird." He couldn't help but say.

Chen Feiluan next to him turned his head and asked in a tone of asking for opinions: "What insight does Mr. Wen have?"

"Just call me by my name, don't be so polite." Wen Zheliu smiled, "It's just the beginning, let's take another look, it's not good to draw conclusions too early."

Li Tianyu rolled his eyes, and said coolly, "I'm afraid there will be some kind of ignorant people with shallow eyelids who will hide everything regardless of the overall situation in order to keep their ranking."

After finishing speaking, she quickened her pace without looking back, and walked quickly towards the hotel gate not far away.

"Sorry, Zheliu," Chen Feiluan's expression was a bit cramped, "Tianyu, she..."

"It's the biological sister of Li Rong, the head of the Fire of the World." He Qin smiled, but his eyes were cold and clear, even a little sharp, "After such a long time, the problem of being open-mouthed still hasn't changed?"

Chen Feiluan was taken aback: "You..."

"Last time, she insisted on going her own way and used her influence and status to drive away the veteran player of the same group, Asuka, causing negative public opinion in your group. The public relations team sent by N-Star solved it for your group, right?" He Qin looked straight ahead and didn't look at him, and his tone was still calm, "One year has passed, not only has she not learned her lesson, but she has made troubles, big and small, and has never stopped. If it wasn't for her own ability , and because of her extreme personality has attracted a group of diehard supporters, N-Star's observation team has already ordered her to quit the team as a shareholder."

Chen Feiluan's face was cloudy and cloudy, and his complexion changed several times. He Qin said: "Now this is the uncanny valley isolated from the world, not the city of new stars, nor the territory of her brother, the territory of the fire of the world. If your group still has Smart people, you might as well persuade this young lady to restrain herself, no one here will be willing to spoil her."

Chen Feiluan's gaze was full of inquiry: "Dare to ask your Excellency..."

Du Zijun next to him finally couldn't help it, and said with a fake smile: "Staff, don't ask."

Wen Zheliu coughed lightly, signaling He Qin to take it easy and not to speak too much.

A group of people pushed open the revolving glass door of the hotel—it was strange that such a large-scale hotel could still exist in such an ordinary western town.Although there is only a drowsy-looking bald old man sitting at the front desk, whether it is the scarlet soft carpet under his feet, the entire golden wallpaper on the wall, or the clean and clean floor-to-ceiling windows, the vases are placed on the floor as tall as a person. , the cascading brocade, the dark leather sofa chairs... all reveal a unique sense of gold in the 90s, as if this is not a town in a remote area, but a bustling downtown.

"Welcome, welcome—" the chunky old man at the front desk scratched his red nose and dragged his voice weakly, "Welcome to the town of Mayoris—"

"A total of ten people, old sir." Bai Jingxing said with a smile.

The old man shook his head, the spider-like white hair trembling on his light pink scalp, "Just call me the boss! I'm old, and I still have to guard such a half-dead place. There are no maids...John! Come here quickly and take them upstairs!"

There was a muffled answer from down the corridor.

Sometimes he muttered, sometimes his sharp-looking lips were tightly closed, and his cloudy blue eyes kept scanning the passengers in front of him, as if they owed him a lot of money.Wen Zheliu thought for a while, then leaned over and asked, "Boss, how much is the cost for one day's stay?"

The hotel owner replied listlessly: "According to the rules of our hotel, as many people as there are in total, you can stay for as many days as you want, and the rest will pay for it!"

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Zheliu frowned and said: "It means that we don't need money to live now, ten people can live for ten days, and come back after ten days to pay, right?"

The hotel owner still looked uninterested, and said in a rough voice: "I'm not deaf, you don't need to repeat what I said! John—did your kid die there? I haven't seen you for so long. shadow!"

The male waiter finally poked his head out of the room and shouted in this direction: "Boss, I'm looking for the key—!"

"Damn it, I shouldn't have taken in this stupid pig in the first place!" The hotel owner spat on the ground angrily, regardless of whether it would stain the beautiful carpet under his feet, "Then you wait here first. "

Li Tianyu saw the needles and asked the hotel owner: "By the way, boss, do you know why this place is called Happy Town?"

Hearing her question, Xie Yuanyuan snorted, feeling that something was wrong.

Wen Zheliu felt bad, and hurriedly called out: "Hey..."

But he yelled too late, and as soon as Li Tianyu finished speaking, the hotel owner's originally vacant eyes gradually became concentrated.He looked back and forth at the players' attire, then fixed his eyes on Li Tianyu, and asked hoarsely: "Since you don't know the origin of Happy Town, why did you come here?"

Wen Zheliu had a hunch that if this question was left to Li Tianyu to answer, everyone's participation value would directly drop by a large amount!

Xi Ling frowned, Chen Feiluan grabbed Li Tianyu's wrist, and Bai Jingxing quickly made amends: "We are..."

Before finishing speaking, Du Zijun crushed a cigarette butt deeply, deeply on the wooden front desk painted with glossy varnish.The cigarette butt sizzled, and the tabletop, which was originally smooth as a mirror, was burnt out.

Everyone: "..."

Hotel owner: "...?"

"Just ask, it's your turn to talk?" The girl raised her black eyebrows, then took out the cigarette case from her trouser pocket, opened it with her thumb, and picked a long and thin cigarette inside and put it on her mouth. , a frightening impatience flashed in the depths of his pupils, "Passing by and staying for a few days to give you a face, you think you need to know the origin of this shit town if you are a person, right? Say what you want, if you don't want to Shut up! Nobody begged you to."

Wen Zheliu sighed, smiled serenely, and turned to look at the blue sky outside the window.

...It's really a familiar formula and a familiar taste.

On the other hand, the few people on the other side who had never seen Sister Du's tricks were almost thrown away by such tricks, and they couldn't even control their expressions for a while.The corners of Bai Jingxing's mouth trembled: "Well, Miss Du, you are..."

The hotel owner looked at the hole on the table, and stared at Du Zijun for a long time. Seeing that the other party had a strong aura, he didn't like him at all, so he slowly bowed down, wanting to cry without tears He said calmly: "Okay, okay! This fierce lady, just think I asked the wrong question!"

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, the boss who pulled [-] million before would suddenly change his attitude, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Generally speaking, in the early stage of the game, the system will consciously give the player an identity that is easy to integrate into the world.Sometimes they are tourists, sometimes they are travelers passing by, and they may also be reporters who come to investigate, writers who collect and record supernatural events, and so on.

Seeing the welcome street sign before, Wen Zheliu could guess that since the destination is such a place with local characteristics, the identities assigned to them by the system are tourists.However, just now, Li Tianyu's brain problem made the players' participation value dangerous for a moment, and then Du Zijun forcibly changed his status as a tourist to a passing traveler. It can only be said that he has a reliable teammate.

"The reason why Happy Town is called Happy Town is because there is a very famous reality show in the town." The boss took out a rag from under the table and began to wipe the cigarette butt pit, "Every night at twelve o'clock, it will It airs regularly on special channels, and it's a very charming program."

Wen Zheliu hurriedly asked: "How to say?"

"Because everyone who has seen it is fascinated by it, and chooses to stay here forever, accompanied by joy." The hotel owner grinned, "Look, this is why Melios is also called the town of joy .”

"They all choose to stay here, to be with joy..." Bai Jingxing fell into deep thought, "I understand."

After saying these words, the hotel owner closed his mouth. At the same time, the male waiter, John, also found the key to the room, and walked over to lead everyone upstairs.

He was thin, with messy brown hair and freckles, and he looked like a brash kid.As he walked, he introduced to everyone: "This hotel has four floors, but because no one lives on the top floor—in fact, no one lives on the second and third floors—so you can stay on the second floor." Floor, and there is a large living room at the end, use the remote control to tune the channel, and you can watch the Midnight Happy Show!"

"Midnight Joy Show...is that what you call it?" He Qin asked with great interest.

"That's right, sir, that's right..." John took several keys from the key chain hanging around his waist, "The room key is here, you can assign the room yourself, the extra key is the living room key , anyway, there are no other guests during this time, so I will leave it to you."

Chen Feiluan asked: "This is a room for two people?"

John replied: "Yes, sir. Standard suite, double room. If a guest wants to live in a double bed room, I can take him to the third floor."

"The third floor is unnecessary." Xi Ling said with a serious face, "We'd better live on the same floor."

Wen Zheliu nodded in agreement. The main quest has already started, and they are now in escape mode. Gathering teammates together is indeed one of the safest ways.

"My brother and I share a room." He Qin took the lead to pick a key from John, and blinked slyly at Wen Zheliu, "Others are free."

Wen Zheliu's eyes were filled with an unstoppable smile, and he mouthed to He Qin: You are so annoying.

Bai Jingxing also went up to pick out a key: "Let's go, regimental officer, we are sharing one room."

Lin Miao nodded.

John turned to the others: "How many guests?"

Li Tianyu bit her lip, she hadn't come out of the annoyance of being stupid just now, she stared at the waiter's palm, and said in a low voice: "I share a room with a girl..."

"No." Du Zijun rebuffed flatly, "I can only live in a room by myself, I can't live with others."

Li Tianyu was taken aback, and then felt her face was hot, as if someone had slapped her, she shouted angrily: "You!"

"Miss Li!" Wen Zheliu quickly called out, "Du...Du Zijun's situation is indeed a bit special. He has been alone before, so you should take it easy. He has no intention of targeting you."

He Qin also chimed in: "After all, there are enough rooms. Whoever wants to live can live there. There are not so many restrictions."

"I share a room with each other." Du Zijun took a key and said to John, "What are you looking at, it's not that you won't give me money."

"Then I'll be in the same room!" Li Tianyu snatched the key angrily, "What a fucking team of freaks!"

Chen Feiluan persuaded in a low voice: "Okay Tianyu, don't say a few words."

As he said that, he turned to Xi Ling and said, "Master Xi, what about me and you?"

It could be seen that they did not ignore Xi Ling's feelings just because he was still young. The young and intelligent leader in front of them still had a very high status.

"Okay." Xi Ling replied sternly.

Xie Yuanyuan looked at these ordinary humans resentfully, went up and took a key silently, turned around and floated back into the team.

Du Zijun grabbed his collar, looked at the serial number, went up and changed it for him.

"You live in the room next to mine," he said.

John shrugged, not understanding the undercurrent among the guests.Seeing him go, He Qin turned his head and said: "Start searching for clues, this is the important task."
