Luo Wei really couldn't think of what effect Xiao Qinxian's smoking had on the whole clue.

Why did the painting try to hide it

Just thinking about it, everyone arrived in front of the cafeteria.

Qin Ci stopped and looked at Luo Wei: "While the sky is still brighter now, let's show everyone the beasts on their faces, whether there has been any change compared to last night."

In fact, there is no need to look closely, everyone's faces have been swaying in front of Luo Wei, and he has already memorized all the subtleties in his heart: "No changes, it is almost the same as last night, except that Zhao Yanbao's red marks are suddenly today. appeared, and the color was gradually deepening.”

"What shape is it?" Zhao Yanbao couldn't help but ask.

"It's not very pictorial, it's just a swipe, like a pen dipped in cinnabar and smeared." Luo Wei described.

Zhao Yanbao nodded and said nothing. As night fell, it would be false to say that there was no fear in his heart. Although the most important person to him had already left, it did not mean that the living became the widow. —There are many ways to remember the dead, and you don’t necessarily have to follow them.

Therefore, Zhao Yanbao was also afraid of death.

Zhao Yanbao is already like this, and the panic of others is even deeper.

Xiao Qinxian even started to use a sneer to cover up his nervousness: "You are still in the mood to eat. If you have this time, it's better for everyone to find a way to move in and live together. Even if danger comes, we can resist together!"

"Yes, I think their detective's place is quite big. We can even live in it if we move in!" Yu Ji nodded desperately in approval after hearing this. His face was slightly pale, and as night fell, Even more pale, "I'm really afraid. The roommate I slept with last night is today... I can still see Zhichun when I close my eyes now."

Lion also said, "If I can live with Dr. Qin, I think I will feel more secure! If the beast in someone's body really does something wrong, maybe Dr. Qin can find a way to rescue him."

Qin Ci listened with a bitter smile: "I'm just an ordinary surgeon, and I'm not an immortal. I can't do anything about beasts. Moreover, the arrangement of the domicile is established, which is one of the rules of this game. If someone violates it, there is no need to do so. Waiting for the beast to fight back, I am afraid that it will die in other unfortunate accidents first."

"Backlash?" Ke Xun grasped the word sensitively.

Qin Ci further explained, "Beasts are originally created in people's minds. At first, it may just be a thought, but with the lingering and repeated thinking, it will slowly take root in the body and grow into a beast body - by myself Killing the things in your heart is not an exaggeration to call it backlash.”

"I'm just wondering if this kind of thought can make the beast smaller or disappear." Ke Xun looked at Qin Ci, but couldn't hide his worries about this old friend, "For example, Chi Lei, my heart is dying. After that, she was relieved, if she could think about it before she died, would it make the beast weaker?"

"There are no corresponding cases in the documents I have read. After all, in this city, no one can see the red marks on the faces of the living, so it is impossible to prevent these in advance. Even if the beasts fade, no one can Proof." Qin Ci's expression was very regretful.

Zhu Haowen had already finished smoking a cigarette in front of the restaurant, put out the cigarette butt, and put it in the place where it should be placed in the city garbage bin: "Don't block it in front of people's doors, just go in and talk while eating. "

Although everyone has their own concerns, they always have to eat, and only when they are full can they defend against various dangers - although these foods may only be feeding the beasts in their bodies.

Luo Wei walked beside Zhu Haowen: "Did you hear what I said just now?"

Zhu Haowen was a little puzzled: "Is it about smoking?"

"Yes," Luo Wei nodded. "Many public places here have smoking areas, such as hospitals. However, unfortunately, there are very few smokers among us. You can only smoke in the smoking areas alone."

Luo Wei spoke carefully, for fear that Zhu Haowen would throw himself back with a remark that had nothing to do with this.

But Zhu Haowen heard it clearly: "Firstly, we seem to be the only one in the group who smokes, and secondly, I don't like to go to the smoking area with others, especially if I don't know them well."

Luo Wei was secretly delighted. It was like using a code word for a code signal. Some key words could not be said, but other languages could be used in a clever and roundabout way: "Are those areas divided into men and women? It's purely out of curiosity."

Zhu Haowen felt even more strange. He felt that these questions were completely out of line with Luo Wei's character, but he still replied: "It is reasonable to say that there is no difference, but people usually stay away from the opposite sex, especially those ladies, who seem to prefer to be in groups. Children - the smoking area in the hospital here is not specially set up for women only.”

Luo Wei was excited for a while, what he wanted to say was incoherent, and when he looked back, he saw Mu Yiran who was observing him, as if he saw a life-saving straw.

Mu Yiran stretched her long legs and approached the two of them, her eyes swept over Xiao Qinxian in front of her lightly: "I saw her smoking last night, and she also smoked a lot, considering her performance during the day, this is indeed worth scrutinizing. The problem."

Perhaps because there were too many things during the day, and Xiao Qinxian was not someone Mu Yiran was interested in observing, so he ignored it for the time being.

Luo Wei felt that he was moved to tears: "So, these things we said... You won't forget it in a few minutes."

Mu Yi laughed: "I don't think so. This should also be the rule, as long as there are secrets that people in the city discover and mention on their own initiative, they shouldn't disappear out of thin air in this city."

Zhu Haowen, who was confused, looked at Luo Wei: Is this the rhythm of this guy to bend...

Luo Wei decided to express his thoughts in one breath: "Actually, when I came out of your room last night, I saw her in the corridor. She was in a strange state at the time, and she mentioned that someone called her room..."

Mu Yiran suddenly turned his eyes to the front: "I hope that yesterday's seat will not be occupied by others, it is the quietest and most hidden place."

Luo Wei: … In a pot of instant noodles that has just been cooked, suddenly pouring a bottle of ice water is what it feels like.

There seemed to be something happening at the cashier. Several members were discussing something with the cashier. Among them, Xiao Qinxian was the loudest: "There are still 33 purchases?! How is it possible? We have only used it twice!"

The cashier explained patiently with a smile: "The limit of your card is 39 times. You have already used it twice, and now there are 33 times left."

"Damn..." Xiao Qinxian couldn't help but swear, "Can you do arithmetic? 39 times minus two, obviously it's 37 times! How can it become 33 times! Your shop is really good at slaughtering Customers, using the free first-time consumption as a gimmick, attracted many repeat customers, and then made a fuss in the card! It's just that your approach is too low-end, and people have to doubt your IQ and EQ!"

Ke Xun made a gesture to shut Xiao Qinxian's mouth, and handed his card to the cashier who was also displeased: "Miss, help me see my card~"

The cashier's sister looked at this sunny and handsome sports-style brother, feeling a little better, took the card to operate: "Sir, your situation is the same, there are still 37 purchases, this time After swiping the card, there will be 33 remaining times."

"Why is this? Miss," Ke Xun continued with a sunny smile, "We are new here, and we don't quite understand some of the rules."

"This is Xincheng, and the dates are in even numbers." The cashier used a sweet voice to spread knowledge for Ke Xun, "Yesterday was April 6, today is April 8, and tomorrow is April 10. day."

"Ah..." Ke Xun froze for a while, this is simply a god's rule, even more amazing than the daughter country, the rectum country, the black tooth country, or something.

The other members were also stunned, Lion even broke out a string of English complaints, and then cleared his throat and said, "What Ni means is, this day has lasted for two days, even if your body feels it. It is 24 hours, but in this city it is counted as 48 hours. Although you only have 3 meals, but in this city it is counted as 6 meals.”

Wei Dong couldn't help but interject: "That is to say, a 40-year-old person in this city is actually 20 years old."

"I'm all stunned by you," the cashier couldn't help laughing, "That's probably what I mean, I was born in this city, I'm used to this time rhythm, and I won't be born like everyone else. A lot of philosophical thinking. — I think that’s what’s so romantic about this city, that everything should be paired.”

"Well, whoever you love, let's take a seat first." Wei Dong dragged Fa Xiao and walked to the table yesterday, "Ke'er, you have to take care of me, I want to drink again..."

Mu Yiran walked behind, stopped in front of the cashier and asked, "I'm just curious, are there many outsiders in this city?"

The cashier lady felt that she was particularly blessed today, and her mood also improved: "There are many people who have moved to our heart city from other places. After all, the scenery here is beautiful and the city planning is also very good."

Mu Yiran asked further: "Do foreigners need to apply for a temporary residence permit when they come here? Is this situation considered a local, or is it still regarded as a foreigner?"

"You can rest assured, our city has never been exclusive to foreigners. If you have the stamp of our city on your ID card, you are brothers and sisters in the same city!" The cashier said, blushing slightly, "Also, intermarriage between people in the same city will be held. With a lot of welfare support.”

"What if someone from the same city and someone outside the Xincheng area intermarry?" Mu Yiran's eyes became deeper and deeper because of thinking.

The cashier became more chatty because of this look: "I have never seen anyone outside the Xincheng area. The security here is so good, and it is impossible for them to enter illegally. If people in the city want to go out, they will never go out. Likely to come back, likewise, if foreigners move in and settle here, it’s impossible to go out again.”

"It's impossible to go out again?" Mu Yiran asked again with a serious tone.

"Our city is so good, why do you want to go out?" the cashier asked back with a smile.

Mu Yiran also smiled faintly: "Yes, this is indeed a magical and beautiful city, which makes many people linger."
