After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle - Chapter 97

There is a thin haze in the town of Smile, and the polluted lights evaporate and diffuse in the air. The buildings in the town have lost their outlines, and they look like observation towers melted in the mist from a distance.

It is also a brightly lit sense of barrenness. Unlike Zicheng, Smile Town is not cold.

There are constant pedestrians in the streets and lanes, and the roads are constantly flowing.

Chi Nan leaned on the car window and looked out, and found that whether these pedestrians were walking alone or in groups, their faces had the same smiles as those on the posters from beginning to end.

The smile seemed to be carved out of a mold.

“This is too oozing…” Pei Mo, who was sitting in the back row, shivered while looking at the crowd of smiling people.

Chi Nanzao rolled up the car window to avoid eye contact with these strangely smiling pedestrians.

He also noticed that in addition to the neat smiles of everyone in this town, the walls of the buildings are also made of glass. When pedestrians pass by, they subconsciously look into the mirror, so countless sights overlap in the glass wall. Confused.

The streets and alleys are also full of slogans——

“Please keep smiling, treat others politely, and build a happy smiling town.”

After the slogan, graffiti is often drawn with spray paint, and the picture is also creepy.

The characters in the graffiti are very abstract. The eyes, nose, ears and other organs are reduced or omitted. The only mouth that exists is enlarged. The corners of the lips are cleft to the base of the ears and an exaggerated smile is shown. Torn or cut.

There are also several graffiti characters whose lips are sewn with fine and dense stitches, as if they have just undergone a cheek cutting operation.

Chi Nan took a few glances and then looked away. He has always liked scenes that ordinary people think is horrible, but the weird pictures in front of him make him uncomfortable.

There is a sense of depression in these propaganda posters, and he hates the unfreedom of being forcibly unified.

“What the **** are these pictures?” Jiang Yu frowned uncomfortably.

Lu Baizhou: “There is an inexplicable sense of sight of’black dahlia’.”

Everyone: “…” It’s even more terrifying to say so.

You Yu drove through the town square, and Chi Nan glanced at the big bronze clock on the square, which showed 0:10.

He turned his head and asked Lu Baizhou, the only one with a watch, “What time is it on your side?”

“0:10.” Lu Baizhou quickly glanced at his watch and said truthfully.

Chi Nan nodded: “Smile Town is a normal time flow.”

Everyone also noticed this, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

Although it counts six hours to find three corpses, the average time allocated to each corpse is only two hours, which is no different from the orphanage, but six hours sounds like a sense of security.

But it didn’t take long for Pei Mo to be dejected: “This town doesn’t look small. How can I find the three corpses? Where can I find them…?”

Jiang Yu was rather calm: “I used the method of matching the room number to find the room of the Chi Nan Character Welfare Institute. I think we can follow this method without more clues and ideas.”

Lu Baizhou: “Do you mean to find the corresponding building according to the corresponding room number?”

Jiang Yu nodded: “Let’s go to the newsstand to buy a local map, please trouble Mr. Driver.” She looked in the rearview mirror and said to You Yu.

You Yu solicited Chi Nan’s opinion: “What do you think?”

“Just as Jiang Yu said.” There are too few clues known now, and the complexity of the town’s environment is much greater than that of the orphanage, and Chi Nan is not particularly sure about the next step.

You Yu quickly found a newsstand. He just stopped the car, and the resolute Jiang Yu had already unfastened her seat belt and pulled the car door, but she had just stepped out of the car with her front foot, and her movements suddenly stopped: “You are wearing your character. Is there any change? My wallet is missing.”

Hearing that, everyone was very cooperative, reaching out for their clothes and pockets, and finally shook their heads helplessly. Their roles are penniless paupers.

“What should I do then? I don’t know if Smile Town can take credit…” Jiang Yu regretted it now. He had known that he had taken out the change from his wallet separately.

No one thought that in the background of the 404 copy in this wilderness, there would be situations where money would need to be spent.

Chi Nan was silent for a moment, then turned to You Yu, “Can I borrow some money?”

You Yu looked at him playfully: “Borrow?”

Chi Nan: “Are you out of money?”

You Yuxiao: “Yes, there are, but when do you plan to pay it back? As far as I know, I have no money and it is not easy to make a dream to make money.”

Chi Nan: “Does Liming Base still recruit service personnel?”

You Yu pouted his lips: “There is no need for this for the time being.”

He likes to deliberately tease this serious little evil spirit to see what choices and promises he will make.

Chi Nan thought about it very seriously, “I’ll work for you.”

You Yu is very interested: “Huh?”

Chi Nan stretched out his hand: “The storage fee for pocket watches.”

You Yu was taken aback for a moment and smiled: “Okay, deal.”

When he said that he handed over his money clip directly to Chi Nan’s hand, he thought that this serious little evil spirit was not very foolish.

But for Chi Nan’s actions today, he has a little sense of accomplishment.

Chi Nan opened the money clip and saw a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills. He only took out one of them and returned the money clip to You Yu: “Thank you.”

You Yu didn’t answer: “You don’t need to pay me back.”

Chi Nan blinked in confusion: “It doesn’t need so much.”

You Yuxiao: “Let’s keep it for me.”

Chi Nan was stunned: “Okay.”

He didn’t think too much, and gave several hundred to Jiang Yu, “Is it enough to buy five maps?”

Jiang Yu was a little speechless: “…absolutely enough.”

She took the money and jumped out of the car and walked towards the newsstand on the side of the road, “Thank you, I don’t need to look for the money.”

She put one hundred yuan on the pile of magazines in the newsstand. The cover of these magazines is as uncomfortable as the graffiti on the wall.

This small town that admires standard smiles seems to be keen on lip surgery and is very abnormal.

The old lady in the newsstand had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold and cruel. Jiang Yu met her gaze and hurriedly pulled the corners of her lips and smiled hard, but when the old lady saw her smile, The expression didn’t ease because of this, but the expression in his eyes became more permeating.

Seeing that Jiang Yu was very irritable, she wanted to smash her face with a pile of maps.

“Why? Did I not give enough money?” Jiang Yu asked impatiently.

The old lady then looked away and turned around to take her five maps from the shelf.

Two minutes later, the slow old lady handed over five maps to Jiang Yu.

At the same time, the old lady did not know where to pull out something similar to an infrared cat stick. A flash of red light was directly hitting Jiang Yu’s lips, and the infrared ray on the old lady’s hand made a piercing sound.

Jiang Yu was irritated by her impolite behavior: “What are you doing?!”

The smiling old lady said coldly: “This guest, your smile does not meet the standard. I have to send you a warning of violation.”

Jiang Yu realized that this was part of the rules, and calmly calmed down and asked vigilantly: “What will happen if I receive a warning?”

Old lady: “If you receive one warning, you will be listed as a skeptic, but there will be no real impact; if you receive two warnings, you will be listed as an uneasy member. No matter where you go later, you will be supervised by the residents of the town. Subject; if you receive the third warning, you will become a dangerous element and will be forcibly cleaned up by the residents of Smile Town.”

“Forced to clean up?” This is definitely not a comfortable phrase.

The old lady pointed to the photo of the cheek cutting operation on the cover of the magazine: “It’s like this.”

Jiang Yu’s complexion changed. While holding the map, he took a magazine in his hand: “Is there enough money.”

The old lady nodded, and Jiang Yu hurriedly carried her things back to the car and closed the door tightly. While distributing the map to everyone, he conveyed the words of the old lady in the newsstand to everyone.

“Just smiling is not enough. You have to smile to the same standard as the residents of the town.” Jiang Yu concluded with a solemn expression, pointing to the cover of the magazine, “Otherwise, it will be cleaned up like this.”

With just a glance, everyone can vividly imagine the pain of tearing lips and cheeks.

Lu Baizhou sneered: “What is the definition of the standard? Do you have to measure with a ruler or something?”

The cramped silence spread in the car, and they looked at the smiling pedestrians coming and going outside the car window, only feeling horrified and depressed.

Now in their eyes, these NPCs that are set to be humans are much trickier than evil spirits. After all, Chi Nan has the ability to deal with evil spirits, but he can only do nothing about humans.

Moreover, the walking dead is far more fierce and terrifying than real ghosts, and the same kind are more likely to kill each other.

While silent, everyone in the car began to look at the magazine, grinning hard and practicing smiling sadly.

The habit of following the rules is contagious, even if the rules are absurd and ridiculous.

You Yu turned to Chi Nan: “Do you really need me to teach you?”

He followed the way Chi Nan was just now, pushing his **** up at the corners of his lips, “Brother, this might not be up to the standard.”

You Yu has the appearance of a tricky younger brother who deliberately imitated his brother’s expression and acted like a baby.

“I can’t learn it,” Chi Nan shook his head. “Think of a way. I’ll try not to make contact with them.”

He is very self-aware of his facial expression management.

Chi Nan remembered the original words of the toll station staff at that time, that when you make contact with strangers, you must be polite and smile, and vice versa, if there is no visual contact, there is no problem.

You Yu put down his fingers and sighed extremely lightly: “It’s a pity.”

Although Chi Nan is so cute that he pulls up the corners of his lips with his fingers, he is also very interested in and looking forward to Chi Nan’s smile from the heart without any external force.

“Yes! We try to avoid eye contact as much as possible!”

“But in a crowded situation, we have the task of finding corpses again. It is not easy to avoid eye contact? It also affects the search progress.”

“You might be able to put on sunglasses!” Lu Baizhou Fuzhi suggested, “Moreover, the light in the town is very bright. Wearing sunglasses should not be invisible. Even if we really need to look for the corpse carefully, we can take it off at that time.”

Suddenly, Jiang Yu pointed to the spectacle shop sign on the map and said to You Yu anxiously: “Thank you, please take us to the spectacle shop first, probably here, thank you.”

The map shows that there is an optical shop just around the corner of this street. You Yu is a conscientious driver. He immediately turned around after receiving the passenger’s request. Chi Nan carefully counted the banknotes in You Yu’s wallet, which was in his impression. Sunglasses are not cheap, and you have to buy five pairs for this purchase.

No…you can save the time for Yuyu, after all, this guy has a good smile, and he doesn’t need external force.

Pei Mo hesitated to say, “Well…If you want to buy sunglasses later, you still have to get off the car, right? This process…If you accidentally make eye contact with the clerk, who is sure to avoid it successfully, or is confident. be warned…”

Everyone looked complicated, and no one spoke at once, Pei Mo added in a low voice, “Anyway, I’m not sure. When I get older, the muscles on my face are slack and I don’t want to do it…”

Chi Nan: “Jiang Yu has already been there. The three of us left to make a lottery decision.”

Lu Baizhou immediately agreed: “Okay, this is the fairest way now.”

Pei Mo was obviously reluctant, but he didn’t dare to dismiss Chi Nan’s proposal. Lu Baizhou glanced at him and said with a sneer, “Even if it is your turn, you won’t be cleaned up even if you receive a warning. Why?”

Pei Mo muttered: “Don’t you panic, go down? Really.”

Here Chi Nan has taken out the sticky notes and pen from the armrest box, tore off three sheets of paper, drew a circle on one of them, and folded the other two blanks into small squares in turn, grabbing them and about to shake them.

Pei Mo: “Wait a minute, since we want to be fair, let’s be more thorough and let Jiang Yu shake us three draws.”

“No problem.” Chi Nan was about to pass the paper to Jiang Yu, and You Yu had already stretched out his hand.

“Let me come, I’m an outsider, the fairest thing,” You Yu raised his eyelids and looked at Pei Mo. “Are you right?”

At the moment when You Yu received the sight of You Yu, Pei Mo shuddered: “Yes, very right.”

You Yu put on his gloves, smiled and took the piece of paper handed over by Chi Nan, and shook it in his hand.

“Okay, let’s grab lots.” He opened his palms to the three of them.
