As they were at a distance, Zhang Yangqing couldn't hear what they were talking about, but the gesture made Zhang Yangqing a little confused because he was making the number 9.

In order to confirm his guess, Zhang Yangqing asked his pets to wait in the dark and walked into the convenience store.

The convenience store was filled with all kinds of things and was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

It felt like entering a very restricted place.

But as long as you don't break the rules, this restriction will be lifted.

As expected, when Zhang Yangqing came in, the clerk in the black mask ignored her. She looked like she was dead, or she thought Zhang Yangqing was not a living person.

Zhang Yangqing picked up a few bags of snacks and drinks, walked to the counter, and imitated the middle-aged man before, making a "9" gesture.

In an instant, the clerk seemed to have pressed the start button, and his whole temperament came alive.

She leaned forward slightly and said in a tone that was almost eerily friendly: "Hello sir, do you need to pack these things?"

Zhang Yangqing nodded and took the opportunity to gather information: "Do you have a powerful flying pet? Or a museum that exhibits weapons?"

These are the things that the intelligence suggests the Chosen One needs to find.

Zhang Yangqing chose to kill all nine phantom beasts, not even one less.

So he just needs to find it and kill it.

But he couldn't find it, and there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Zhang Yangqing was actually thinking, could this not be a skeleton of a Pterosaur?

If there were creatures of this level here, this place would definitely not be so peaceful.

The two-winged dragon is a dragon after all, and this kind of creature is not weak in many worlds.

Is there a hidden world here? You must find special talents to enter, such as the law enforcer with a silver mask, who can lead the chosen one into the hidden world, just like the black-haired weirdo in the previous level.

Or could it be that the man in the silver mask is a phantom beast in disguise?
While Zhang Yangqing was thinking, the black-masked clerk kept a professional smile and said in a gentle voice that didn't sound like a real person: "Sir, we don't have the things you mentioned here."

No matter how Zhang Yangqing tried to ask her indirectly, she knew nothing about anything, as if she was programmed to only answer questions related to convenience stores.

Obviously, she would not provide any information other than that about the convenience store.

There was no choice, Zhang Yangqing walked out of the convenience store carrying the plastic bag, frowning slightly.

This gesture is indeed just a "key" to start a conversation and cannot obtain more information.

The streets outside were still eerily quiet.

The law enforcers wearing white masks were still patrolling mechanically, and suspicious shadows still flashed in the lighted windows from time to time.

Zhang Yangqing made a "9" gesture in the same way as before, trying to communicate with the white-masked law enforcer.

But these law enforcers did not respond to his gestures, and even deliberately avoided him, as if they were avoiding something ominous.

Zhang Yangqing tapped the drinks can with his fingers, somewhat confused. Did he need different gestures to communicate with law enforcement officers?

He simply squatted on the side of the road and continued to observe, slowly drinking his drinks and eating snacks.

The leisurely look contrasted sharply with the eerie atmosphere around them, making them feel as comfortable as having a picnic in the park.

But it’s different for other chosen ones. If they want to complete the level before dawn, they have to be fast.

Every minute you spend here means one minute less of tolerance for subsequent errors.

This is only the fourth level, and there are still five levels to be seen.

It is impossible for the vast majority of the chosen ones to complete the game within one day.

You can’t pass the level during the day because what you see during the day are all fake scenes.

Thinking of this, the Chosen Ones moved quickly, eager to find those problematic places and people.

Zhang Yangqing was not impatient. After observing for a while, he noticed two passers-by coming towards him.

They obviously didn't know each other, but when one of them made the "8" gesture, the other immediately stopped and started talking.

Zhang Yangqing immediately understood that 9 was for communicating with the store clerk, and 8 was for communicating with ordinary people.

So when communicating with law enforcement officers, there may be new gestures to compare, maybe 7 and 6.

But there is one thing Zhang Yangqing is sure of, he cannot try it, because there are rules to be broken, that is Rule 9.

[Rule 9: When your pet starts counting, cut its throat.]

If you keep making gestures, it is equivalent to counting.

When the pet sees this, it will imitate it.

You might break some rules unexpectedly.

Even Zhang Yangqing felt that the trap in the world of ghost stories was a bit abstract. If he didn't think about it carefully, he wouldn't realize that this was the stage that induced the chosen one to break the rules.

He handed the remaining snacks to the monkeys and told them to continue waiting in the dark while he walked towards a thin man wearing glasses.

After making the "8" gesture, Zhang Yangqing got straight to the point and asked, "Hey, buddy, do you have any dragon legends here?"

The thin man pushed up his glasses and said, "Dragon? Isn't that a mythical beast from legend? I don't know if there are any in other places, but we definitely don't have any here."

His tone was firm, and as a native of this city, he was well aware of the treats here.

This answer made Zhang Yangqing frown.

Could it be that the fantasy beast in this level is not a dragon? Then what does the evil dragon on the mural mean?
"Then do you know how to communicate with those law enforcement officers?" Zhang Yangqing continued to ask.

The thin man shook his head repeatedly: "I haven't communicated with them. But I advise you not to contact them. They are the synonym of misfortune here."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, seemingly unwilling to talk more.

Zhang Yangqing continued walking on the street thoughtfully.

In addition to convenience stores, other shops that remain open late at night include bars, barbecue stalls, Internet cafes, etc.

When Zhang Yangqing saw the neon sign of "Extreme Speed ​​Internet Cafe", he was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Letting the pets wait nearby, Zhang Yangqing went upstairs alone.

When I pushed open the glass door of the Internet cafe, a mixture of cigarette smoke, instant noodles and some kind of rotten smell hit me in the face, as if an animal had died here a long time ago.

There were no lights on in the dim Internet cafe, only the blue light of the computer screen was flickering.

Hundreds of computers were neatly arranged, the doors of several private rooms were half-open, and a few players were sitting sparsely in them.

The light shone on their faces, reflecting their pale features, bulging eyes, and cracked lips, as if they had been drained of all their energy and spirit, and were only hanging on by one breath.

From time to time, strange noises were heard in the private room, and faint groans were heard amidst the sound of keyboard tapping, as if some tragedy was taking place inside.

The most eye-catching person is the network administrator at the bar.

He was wearing a bright red mask, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.

Zhang Yangqing walked to the bar, made a "9" gesture, and started the conversation.

"Do you have any games about dragons and heroes?" Zhang Yangqing asked directly.
