In a bar in a small town in the United States, the lights are dim at night.
This has become the norm after the Shenyuan Era. In order to save some electricity bills, many stores try to only turn on one light in their business premises.
This was completely unimaginable in the past. You must know that the United States is one of the "nations on wheels" and consumes countless energy every year.
"No, even if I starve to death, be scared to death by ghosts, or be eaten by monsters, I will never go to that son-of-a-bitch shelter! Let alone be injected with some son-of-a-bitch management chip!" A strong white man said. shouted violently at his companion, and smashed a glass of rum to the ground with equal violence.
Beer splashed, debris flew, and some people even had blood streaks on their faces.
But this only increased their enthusiasm, and there were constant cheers in the bar.
"That's right, David, well done!"
"for freedom!"
"We support you!" A group of scantily clad dancers threw passionate kisses at the brave young man.
Not long after, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling suddenly shook, and the light began to flicker on and off.
At the same time, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, the sound of the wind began to get stronger, and a faint and complaining voice could be heard coming from a distance.
Even in a crowded bar, it's hard to stop this sound from reaching everyone's mind.
The bar suddenly became quiet.
The perfect start to a horror movie.
Everyone's expressions changed immediately.
Four years have passed since the Shenyuan Era. Such a long time is enough for the most adaptable young people to learn what they need to learn.
Under the pressure of elimination by natural laws, the enthusiasm for learning is the strongest!
"Go, go, get out of here!"
"There will be another supernatural incident..." the young men and women shouted.
The waiter behind the bar had quickly escaped through the exclusive passage... without any sense of saving the customers.
"Run quickly, it will take 3 seconds to 3 minutes for the Oriental Lighthouse to patrol here. Hold on, we can survive!" Someone comforted his crying girlfriend and dragged her towards the spacious door.
More people just opened the windows facing the street and climbed out.
One of the regulations for business premises after the Shen Yuan era: all exits must be as large as possible, and the windows facing the street must be floor-to-ceiling windows, and they must be easy to push open.
"Run out. There is a management chip injection booth two hundred meters away. There are pond-level practitioners there! It won't take a minute to get there." Someone shouted while running.
From this point of view, the average quality of the group of people gathered in the bar is not bad.
If it were the guys in the novel, they could just run away, so how could they remind others
The ignorant guy is left behind to serve as bait.
Soon the bar was empty, and the dim streets were filled with young people running towards the injection booth...
There was the only light at night, a thin blue mist surrounding the injection booth.
There are millions of injection booths around the world, and each booth is staffed by practitioners above the barrel level. In important locations in big cities, there will be masters at the pond level stationed there.
Compared to most cup-level cultivators with shallow cultivation, they can use some simple formations.
Of course, these formations cannot resist the ghosts for a long time, but they can generally win at least a few minutes.
In fact, due to someone, there are no very strong ghosts on the earth... Those who are qualified have been captured long ago, and those who are powerful have been wiped out long ago.
These few minutes are enough for someone to come over.
Soon, young people partying in the bar crowded in front of the injection booth. The seemingly thin water curtain turned into a chasm, separating them from the light.
"Let us in!"
"Only those who are willing to be injected with a management chip can enter here." A black man in a suit said with a smile.
The pavilion is not big, so it cannot accommodate so many people, but the area covered by the formation around the pavilion is a small fountain square, which is enough to squeeze in hundreds of people.
"Then give me the injection! I'm a good resident! My social credit is the best, and I'm an entry-level practitioner!" A young man shouted over and over again.
He has the best physical strength and the strongest body. He is also a cup-level practitioner, so he naturally runs ahead of everyone.
"Hey, isn't the person who shouted the loudest the name David?" Someone recognized him.
"What a hypocritical guy!" someone spat.
But more men lowered their heads, fearing that others would recognize them.
It didn't take long for everyone crowded here to enter the formation and began to lie down in line to receive the injection.
At this moment, in the bar.
A little white man with an unattractive appearance was lying under a table in a corner, holding his head and shivering, trying not to make any noise.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but that he was too timid. When something unexpected happened, his legs became weak and he couldn't run at all.
In order not to be ostracized by his peers and to win the favor of his crush, he also came to this free gathering.
Who would have thought that terror would come so silently, and all his companions would run away, leaving him alone.
He didn't blame anyone. It was clear that someone yelled and ran out, and everyone else ran out. He couldn't run away, so he could only blame himself.
A terrifying beginning must also have a terrifying ending.
At this time, a green spiritual object floated in from the window.
This spiritual creature is very strange and terrifying, like a person who has been burned by fire.
It drifted into the bar and wandered around haphazardly.
After a while, a voice sounded from the window.
"Come back, Fire Ghost. The cowards have been scared away a long time ago. The leaders will definitely be satisfied with our work this time."
The spiritual creature suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be a man with half of his body burned by fire. His appearance was terrifying. Even if he was a real person, he would still be the boss of a horror movie.
"Well, these people are really timid. Looking at the momentum of the party just now, I thought it would be effective to scare a few of them, but it's a pity." The burned person shook his head and walked out of the bar.
"Have you forgotten that movies come from life? In horror movies, the fastest runners are precisely those who are usually the most courageous."
The two voices gradually faded away and disappeared into the air.
Only then did Sam have the courage to climb out of the table and stand up with difficulty.
He thought for a while and walked towards the injection booth without hesitation.
After arriving at the pavilion, people here were lining up to receive injections.
He came outside the water curtain and said in a low voice: "I also want to inject the management chip."
"Hey, isn't this Timid Sam?" Someone recognized him through the bright light in the pavilion.
"I didn't expect that he was the last one among us to come and ask for the injection."
"It seems that we can no longer call him Timid Sam. He should be called Brave Sam."
"Yes, Sam the Brave!"
A group of people cheered.
"On the contrary, I guess he was too scared to run," someone revealed.
"Hahaha, I think this is the truth."
"That's Lucky Sam. I didn't expect that a guy as timid as him could still live to this day!" someone laughed.
Sam wanted to tell the truth and slap these people in the face, but he squeaked a few times and still didn't dare to speak.
He is very timid, but he is definitely not a fool. After all, this is reality, not a movie, and he is not a stupid supporting character used to highlight the hero's wisdom.
As a person who has received formal education, he knows very well that after he tells the truth, no one is willing to believe it. And as a person who reveals the truth, he will really be attacked by ghosts if he offends those strong practitioners!
These people laughed at him just to divert their previous embarrassment.
Ridicule is ridicule, these people will not hit him. Beating a recognized coward will not make them more charming in front of beautiful women.
…
No one knew that in the dark night, the Eastern Lighthouse that these people just mentioned was standing above them, watching these people.
"Are there only routines left between people?" The uncle said quietly.
"What else do you want? Friendship, love, justice?" Fang Ning said scornfully, "If it weren't for our intimidation, it would have been more than just a routine. That half-man, half-ghost must have killed several people. Let it go. And that coward will not come out alive. The other party has discovered him long ago... I just know that he will never tell the truth. "
"This is all my credit, what about us? Stop changing your ideas." The uncle quickly corrected him.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I always feel that the progress is a bit too fast. If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. How long has it been since the discovery of the Divine Enlightenment? The world's social structure is about to evolve into a shelter survival mode. ?" Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.
"Then what else do you want?" The uncle said angrily, "I am a hero system, and I cannot force changes."
"Forget it, just take it one step at a time." Fang Ning calmed down his thoughts. After all, the drastic changes in the current situation would not have much impact on him.
I don’t live on those three melons and two dates now.
