Chapter 381 Distant Town (15)
Mo Sheng picked up an egg with his chopsticks: "I don't know if it will be useful for customs clearance, but I think this clue should be considered a relatively important one... At least let you and Chi Yu have a look."
Before Xia Yanzhou could speak again, he handed an A4 paper full of words to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu reached out to take it.
Xia Yanzhou came over curiously.
"Temporary resident rules..." She just started, then turned to Chi Yu in surprise, and met his gaze.
["Distant Town" Temporary Residents Rules. 】
【The Faraway Town is a tolerant and open family. All friends with the same aspirations and ideas are welcome to come here and build this paradise together. 】
【1. Please always remember that the identity badge you are wearing is a unique pink color. If the color of the ID badge tends to change to white, this is normal and you don't need to worry about it.But if there is a tendency to change to a dark color, please inform the nearest town guard immediately, and the other party will tell you what to do. 】
[2. The shopping malls in distant towns are rich in goods, but there will never be black goat dolls. If you find any, please notify the nearby staff immediately to deal with them. 】
【3. Animals are the most loyal friends of human beings.If you like small animals, you can adopt a pet cat or pet dog for free in any pet hospital with your ID card, but no pet abuse is allowed. 】
[4. The movie theater in the center of the town will show some youth campus-themed movies from time to time, and you can enter the theater for free with your ID card.If you encounter a staff member wearing black clothes in the movie hall, please ignore it and pretend that you didn't hear it. 】
[5. If the restaurant staff recommends special barbecue to you, please ask the type of barbecue first. If you are sure it is lamb, you can try it with confidence. 】
[6. There is no black-based building in the distant town, if you find it, don't approach it!Notify the nearest town guard to come and deal with it. 】
【7. The distant town is a very happy city.If you see someone crying, please notify the nearby town guard immediately.Helping others is one of the most beautiful qualities human beings possess. 】
[8. Although every street in the town is equipped with bright street lights, it is still very dangerous to go out alone at night. Please try to stay in the house after nightfall and do not go out (if you are a new resident, you can go to "Starry Sky Pavilion", the staff there will solve the housing problem for you). 】
[9. There is one and only one radio station in the distant town, which is located in the lord's mansion.Other than that, the radio stations you see anywhere are just your hallucinations, don't go near them. 】
[PS: On the last day of every month, a grand temple fair will be held in Huajie. Everyone is welcome to actively participate (if you are lucky, you may even get a mysterious gift from the lord). 】
When she saw the "movie theater", Chi Yu's expression froze, and she immediately recalled what the young man with the gray ID card said to her, and subconsciously began to look for the other man mentioned by the young man. place name.
What surprised her a little was...it really made her find the three words "broadcasting station" in the following text.
Is it a coincidence?
Or is it inevitable in some sense?
Guessing that they should have read about it, Mo Sheng said: "You have also noticed, right? The regulations in this code are almost completely contrary to the 'Guidelines for Tourists'."
"Leaving aside the issue of the identity card, the tourist rules clearly state that there will not be any souvenirs related to 'sheep' in the mall, while the temporary residents' rules focus on 'black goats'."
"The rules for tourists say you can't eat mutton, but the rules for temporary residents say the exact opposite, only mutton is allowed."
"The visitor code says it's not normal to see animals outside of zoos, but the temporary resident code encourages residents to come forward and adopt cats and dogs."
"Tourists are warned to stay away from youth campus-themed movies, but temporary residents can watch them for free with their identity cards..."
Mo Sheng listed the contradictions of the two codes one by one, "What do you think about this?"
"What should we do next...?"
Xia Yanzhou took a breath, and meditated: "According to previous experience, as long as you violate the rules, you can change your identity... By analogy, is it possible to enter the next stage as long as you continue to violate the rules?"
"That's what we thought at the beginning." The outsider said, "But first, the main task of the second phase is to 'find the hidden truth', we can't determine whether there is an inevitable connection between the change of identity and the 'truth', It’s hard to make up your mind to take risks.”
indeed.
Chi Yu nodded secretly.
The main line given by the system before is to change the identity, which is equivalent to telling the players in disguise that doing so will definitely not endanger their lives.But now... who knows if continuing to violate the rules will lead to closer to the truth, or to death step by step?
The outsider paused, and continued: "Secondly, we are a little uncertain about the content of the first article..."
"The first article..."
Xia Yanzhou looked up.
Mo Sheng's voice was lazy: "According to what it said, it is normal for the identity card to change towards a lighter color... That is to say, even if we always abide by the rules, after a period of time, the identity will definitely change."
"And that brings up a very tricky question."
He put down the empty lunch box, "If following the rules or breaking the rules can change our identity... which one is the right way?"
silence.
long silence.
After half a minute.
Mo Sheng coughed lightly: "Why are you silent all of a sudden? Even if you're immature, let's simply express your opinion..."
"Without any basis, it's just a conjectural 'opinion'. Is there any reference value?" Xia Yanzhou was speechless.
"...That's right." Mo Sheng rubbed his nose.
At this moment, Aoki Nanzhi, who had been silent all the time, said: "In my opinion, since our purpose is to find the hidden truth, we must not be led away by these rules."
"That makes sense." Mo Sheng nodded unsurprisingly, "But the problem is, we don't know what will happen if we continue to violate the rules. What if the color of the identity card becomes mottled like Scarlet Nian?"
He sighed, "It's not advisable to take risks until you find out how to deal with it."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell into silence again.
There is only so much useful information in their hands at the moment, and if they want to move forward, they must find new clues... and the limited information makes them dare not act rashly.
After all, a wrong step is not just a problem of mission failure and inability to pass the level...it will really kill people.
Seeing that the team entered a dead end, Chi Yu thought for a while and said, "I saw a small town resident today, and his ID card is gray."
"Gray?" Xia Yanzhou answered subconsciously, completely unaware of the weight of this sentence, "So special?"
after a few seconds.
"Wait..." Mo Sheng raised his head abruptly, "Grey?"
