Chapter 311 Lucky Scratch Card
After leaving the workers' group, Chen Yu led the three women south along the main road.
Wang Mengmeng counted on her fingers, "Newspaper, diary, play script, registration book... we're still missing three..."
Yang Kexin sighed, "The remaining three are hidden so deeply; we've been searching all the way."
"Shh."
Chen Yu gestured, then looked to one side.
Beside the carousel, two figures were squatting behind a bench, necks hunched.
"Are those... passengers or NPCs?"
Wang Mengmeng immediately covered her mouth and whispered.
Zuo Shi immediately spoke up, "There are four of us, four Flyers, and three construction workers. The hint after the Ferris Wheel indicated 13 people remaining. It's obvious that these two are the remaining survivors."
Wang Mengmeng muttered, "Then why are they hiding? This mission isn't a game of hide-and-seek!"
Yang Kexin nodded, "No wonder we couldn't find them after searching for so long; so this is where they were!"
Wang Mengmeng snorted, "Let's go, follow me and let's bluff them!"
Chen Yu: "..."
Seeing that Chen Yu didn't speak.
Wang Mengmeng took his silence as consent and strode over.
"Brother Chen Yu, leave it to me!"
Hearing Wang Mengmeng, Chen Yu followed slowly, with the two women close behind.
It wasn't until they got closer that they could see clearly.
These two were quite distinctive.
One was wearing a dark gray hoodie, hair shaved very short, with a round face and slightly thick lips.
The other was wearing a black jacket with the zipper pulled all the way up, chin tucked into the collar, revealing only a pair of eyes.
The two were squatting behind the bench, knees together, hands resting on their knees.
No matter how you looked at it, they resembled two antisocial elementary school students who had made a mistake and were being punished by being made to squat.
Wang Mengmeng led the group over, fuming, scaring the two into wanting to run away.
But in the end, they were blocked by the four at the edge of the carousel.
Wang Mengmeng put her hands on her hips, chin slightly raised, "You two, what are you hiding? Take it out."
The round-faced man looked up, lips trembling, "Take... take what?"
Wang Mengmeng glared, "What do you think? The evidence of the old days!"
The round-faced man's face turned pale instantly, "We... we really don't have it... I don't know what that is..."
The man in the jacket nodded repeatedly.
Yang Kexin narrowed her eyes, "Who hasn't got something if they've survived until now? You two cowering here trembling, who are you putting on a show for? Do you think we're easy to fool?"
The man in the jacket was so anxious his eyes turned red, his voice choked with tears, "I really wasn't faking it! My Talent is an A-rank combat type, Hardened Skin! But I don't even dare to kill a chicken!"
The round-faced man chimed in, "My Talent is the most useless... no combat ability at all, I'm really not lying to you! We really don't have any evidence of the old days!"
Wang Mengmeng snorted, crossing her arms, "You're trying to fool ghosts! Brother Chen Yu, just kill them. They must be hiding something. I guarantee with my intuition, these two are definitely acting!"
Chen Yu glanced at Wang Mengmeng without speaking, and the ghost head blade appeared silently in his palm.
He walked over slowly, "Three seconds."
He said coldly, "Within three seconds, if I don't see the evidence of the old days, what I will see are your corpses."
The round-faced man's face turned from white to green, his knees went weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The man in the jacket also knelt down, hands supporting him on the ground.
"Big Brother! We really don't have it!"
"I swear we don't!"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
The two suddenly started kowtowing, looking quite practiced; one, two, three times.
The round-faced man's voice was mixed with tears, "Please... Big Brother, we don't know anything... We were just hiding here waiting until nightfall. If I had that evidence, I would definitely give it to you!"
Chen Yu walked in front of them, stood still, and raised his blade!
It fell!
"Hum!"
The tip of the blade stopped above their heads; Chen Yu could see the two of them shivering!
And the reason he stopped...
Because a gust of wind blew by, carrying a piece of white paper, fluttering, and it landed squarely at the spot where the round-faced man was kowtowing, right by his hand.
The round-faced man was stunned.
He looked down at the paper, then looked up at Chen Yu.
"Uh..."
He extended a trembling hand, picked up the paper, and quickly handed it to Chen Yu, "Big... Big Brother, this looks like the evidence of the old days. Is this what you're looking for?"
Chen Yu and the three women exchanged glances, all a bit bewildered.
After taking it,
One could see it was a Polaroid photo, a group photo of eight children: eight children in front of the Ferris Wheel, their eyes curved into crescents from smiling.
There was a date stamp in the corner: July 2, 1998.
Immediately after, a message surfaced.
[Critical clue detected: Polaroid photo]
[Hidden mission "Cage of Memories" activated]
[Mission objective: Collect seven pieces of evidence of the old days (5/7)]
[Mission reward: Xiaoguang's doll]
Chen Yu retracted the ghost head blade, looked at the round-faced man, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name, and what is your Talent?"
The round-faced man spoke quickly, "Lin Yuan! My name is Lin Yuan! A second before the apocalypse arrived, I was squatting at the entrance of a lottery station scratching a scratch-off, I won 8,000 yuan, but before I could redeem it, I arrived on the bus."
Wang Mengmeng put her hand to her forehead, "Our Brother Chen Yu is asking you, what is your Talent?"
Lin Yuan quickly spoke, "That... my Talent is S-rank Lucky Scratch-Off, no active skills, the only passive is Good luck Accompanies Me, it really has no combat capability..."
Chen Yu's mouth twitched, "Lucky Scratch-Off? There's such a Talent?"
He looked the guy up and down; there was no possibility of him being a woman disguised as a man, and he immediately felt it was a pity.
Otherwise, bringing him onto the bus might have been somewhat useful.
However, even if he couldn't get on the bus, Chen Yu still had to squeeze him for all he was worth.
"What is your luck attribute?"
Chen Yu suddenly smiled kindly.
Lin Yuan scratched his head, "It's not fixed. My luck attribute changes all the time; that's the passive effect. When it's high, it can reach 200, and when it's low, it's about 50."
"200???"
Wang Mengmeng's expression changed, "You... why are you so lucky! I'm not convinced!"
Zuo Shi and Yang Kexin quickly pulled her aside.
The man in the jacket whispered, "Big Brother, can we go now? We've already given you what you wanted..."
Chen Yu shook his head, "You can leave if you want, but Lin Yuan has to stay."
Lin Yuan: "?"
After saying this, Chen Yu led the three women and walked ahead, "Lin Yuan, keep up. Find all the evidence of the old days for me, and you can be liberated."
luck, I myself have as much as 10+10+5=25!
But 25 points of luck is obviously not enough to cause a qualitative change; others can even get evidence of the old days just by lying down!
Chen Yu had already started thinking about whether to find an opportunity to increase his luck...
If he could stack it to a stable 100, perhaps even hidden missions could be passed mindlessly.
Behind him, Lin Yuan and the man in the jacket exchanged glances.
Lin Yuan looked miserable, "It's over. If I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned my Talent. I don't dare to walk around the paradise..."
The man in the jacket whispered, "What are you panicking for? Didn't you hear what that baby-faced girl called that brother?"
Lin Yuan was stunned, "Called him what?"
The man in the jacket coughed, "It seems to be... Brother Yu..."
"?"
