Please Stop Pretending To Be a Cute Newcomer!Ch50 - True or False

Lu Qi waited two seconds before speaking, “Want to get out of the car?”

Shen Qingcheng’s eyes lit up: Lu-dage had that kind of ability? E2CoI3

He asked expectantly, “Can we?”

Lu Qi met his dark eyes and nodded calmly, “We can.”

Shen Qingcheng: “!”

When had Lu Qi acquired the game company behind his back? He could even say that if they wanted to get out of the car they could! VK4pjO

He was a little skeptical, and suspiciously observed the look on the man’s face. After seeing nothing, he turned his head to look doubtfully out of the window.

The endless barren grassland outside the window had finally come to an end, and large tracts of farmland appeared in his field of vision.

Those farmlands were almost deserted and overgrown with weeds. If there weren’t so many scarecrows of different shapes still standing there, Shen Qingcheng wouldn’t have known it was farmland.

The train passed by on the tracks beside the farmland. Clothed scarecrows with red-painted smiling faces stood on bamboo poles and looked down at the passengers on the train. Their eyes were bent down and the corners of their mouths were raised, their smiles indescribably strange.

Shen Qingcheng took his eyes off the scarecrows and looked forward in the direction of the train. The silhouettes of tall and short buildings loomed in the distance, hidden in the thick fog.

Wu~ wu~

The train chugged away from the farmland, heading for the town, and then stopped slowly at the edge.

Just as the players were feeling strange, suddenly the sound of a broadcast coming from nowhere echoed through the carriage. HaTyik

The broadcast system seemed to have lain unused for a long time. There were a lot of rustling sounds as it transmitted, and it intermittently cut out.

“Zhonglou…one hour…depart.”

Everyone understood the meaning of the broadcast: This was a stop on the way to Tushan. The train would stop here for an hour and leave in an hour.

Shen Qingcheng suspected that this broadcast was spoken by the flight attendant. Don’t think that he couldn’t recognize that half-sentence style of speaking through a pinched throat! rW3DPt

Bang! The door of the compartment opened, and a cold wind blew in the smell of burnt paper.

Shen Qingcheng’s position was very close to the car door, so with a glance, he saw the faded sign outside: “Zhonglou Station”.

He looked back, “You said we could get out after you saw this station sign?”

Lu Qi: “En.” bDaN8G

Shen Qingcheng: “This is the third time.”

Lu Qi: “What?”

“Your speed and strength are far superior to ordinary people; this is the third place where you are different from them,” he said in an indescribably complicated tone. “I think you may be the game’s biological son.”

Lu Qi was speechless and did not want to continue discussing that inexplicable topic, “Are you getting out?” CqmPQw

Shen Qingcheng turned his grief and anger into motivation, stood up from his seat, and said loudly, “Getting out!”

Only about half of the players got out of the car.

The station was just as dilapidated as Fengshan South Station: very quiet, with no staff, as if it had been abandoned for many years.

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi didn’t care where the others were going. They left the station and entered the town, which was shrouded in smoke. AorCl8

The town was remote and backward, and there weren’t many buildings and facilities in the town. Most of them were small buildings with one or two floors.

The two walked towards the tallest building. After walking a distance, they could faintly hear a strange music, and the closer they got to the bell tower, the clearer the music became.

Pedestrians began to appear on the road. 8FLy79

All of them were dressed in mourning clothes, and they were all hunched over at the waist. They had the same purpose as Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi, all heading to the bell tower.

The two didn’t rush forward to ask what was going on, but rather followed those pedestrians at a distance that was neither near nor far.

It was a cloudy, overcast day, a cold wind blowing by from time to time.

The burnt paper ash in the brazier was picked up by the wind and blown into various shapes in the air. y8Zjev

When the wind got tired, the paper ashes were randomly discarded everywhere.

Shen Qingcheng wiped the paper ash off his face, and rubbed it between his fingertips, “Paper money.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

There was a funeral being held at the bell tower.

There was mournful music from the speakers, and pedestrians wearing mourning clothes walked together, coming to the bell tower and kneeling in front of the burning brazier. 4Qlo6S

A man in a pointed white hat threw paper money into the air. He raised his head high: his eyes were tilted down, and the corners of his mouth were raised, a strange scarecrow-like smile across his face.

“Who are you?” An old voice sounded behind them.

All the people kneeling in front of the brazier turned in unison, and dozens of bright red smiling faces stared straight at the uninvited guests who had entered.

“Who are you?” the voice repeated. It was a wrinkled old man. F8iK9w

He stared at Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi with cloudy eyes, his eyes full of ill will.

The people kneeling in front of the brazier stood up, and the man in the white pointed hat walked through the crowd to the front, looking at them in the same unfriendly way.

Lu Qi’s right hand tightened and his eyes darkened slightly: he hadn’t heard footsteps.

Shen Qingcheng hurriedly stopped him from trying to summon his prop, “Wait first.” WPepdU

He walked to Lu Qi and looked at the old man, and said bluntly, “We came by train–the Harmony, it’s passing through here.”

The old man: “Train?”

Shen Qingcheng nodded, “Yes.”

The bad expression in the eyes of the old man did not disappear, but the atmosphere was no longer as explosive as before. He laughed strangely, “Trains are good, trains are good.” KC3Hxs

That look was as if he was wishing that the two of them would immediately get hit by a train.

Shen Qingcheng pretended not to see it and asked, “Is the smile on your face because of a custom?”

Old man: “Custom? No, no, it’s to make the dead see more happiness.”

After he finished speaking, his face changed, and he urged the two of them with a blank expression, “No outsiders are welcome here, you should leave.” edx56I

A group of people were staring at them, and it was really not suitable to stay longer. Plus, their hour was running out, so Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi had to leave.

On the way back, Shen Qingcheng asked, “Did someone in town have an accident on this train?”

Lu Qi: “Someone is following us.”

Lu Qi: “Don’t look back, they came from the bell tower.” oyl1cS

Shen Qingcheng: “Then let’s go back to the car and discuss.”

They were the last ones back, and not long after getting on the train, the train started up with a puff of air.

Shen Qingcheng unintentionally glanced out the window, and was shocked to the point of cardiac arrest, “!”

“What’s wrong?” After Lu Qi noticed it, he also looked out and paused, “Who did you see?” JRMLbt

Shen Qingcheng raised his head, “You.”

The platform outside the car window had suddenly become crowded and bustling, and Lu Qi stood in the crowd, frowning and telling him to get off.

Honestly, he couldn’t tell them apart.

He repeated, “I saw you, and you asked me to get out of the car.” 4vKnqm

Lu Qi didn’t look too surprised, “Pretty much.”

Shen Qingcheng: “Have you seen me?”

Lu Qi: “En.”

He realized something and looked at the other players in the carriage. nfVeo

The first person to react was He Mei, who was sitting in the fourth row. She was boredly propping her chin up and watching the scenery to pass the time when a figure suddenly flashed past the window.

She froze for a moment, recalling the face of the figure.

The figure’s eyes were bleeding, and they stood on the side of the road and stared straight at her.

It was him! It was that person! c HdlI

She screamed, pointing at a player in the front row and yelling, “He died! I saw him dead! He’s a ghost! A ghost!”

The identified player was angry at the inexplicable accusation. He felt that He Mei was deliberately confusing the public so that she would not be cast to the last row when the next time they adjusted their seating.

The two began to quarrel fiercely.

Immediately after, other people saw the figure, but this time it was another player. dz vtU

It was very chaotic for a while in the carriage, and finally Lin Wen came out to preside over the overall situation, “Everyone be quiet first, this is probably another trick of the ghosts!”

The players didn’t necessarily all believe what he said, but they calmed down anyway.

Some of them curled up in their seats and shivered in fear.

Lin Wen said: “Everyone calm down first, let’s count out who we saw.” JmdUpX

A few minutes later, Lin Wen started counting from He Mei, “Don’t be afraid, if you saw someone just say it–but I want to remind everyone first, how can you be sure that it wasn’t a ghost outside the car window?”

The players basically didn’t know each other’s names, so He Mei said the current seat of the player she saw.

There was a strange sense of familiarity in everyone’s heart. Why was this part so similar to what the train attendants had asked them to do last night before adjusting their seats?

The tabulation continued. When it was Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi’s turn, they both said each other’s names in cooperation. 1kV8dv

In the end, there was a dead silence in the car after the final result was out.

While they were in chaos, they couldn’t really hear who the other people were talking about, so they thought that the final result would probably be the situation where you saw me, I saw him, and he saw you, so that all players were seen.

But it wasn’t.

Only 4 people were seen, including Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi. g3nEw9

Jin Da excitedly said, “What is there left to say now? Those four people are long dead, and now those in the car are ghosts in disguise, we should ask the train attendant if we can vote immediately!”

“Why don’t you fucking say that nonsense to laozi again?!” Bodybuilder-xiansheng‘s generous palm slapped on the armrest with a bang.

He was one of the four players.

Jin Da’s neck shrank and he didn’t dare to speak. 3GQvmY

Bodybuilder-xiansheng glanced around the car with fierce eyes, “Say it again, I’m alive and well! Whoever dares to vote for me tonight, I will kill you all before I die. If you don’t believe me, try it!”

Lin Wen said, “Don’t be so decisive, everyone. Since we got on the train, the train attendant has been leading us to believe that there are ghosts among us. Including the ghosts outside the window this time, what if it was all just misleading?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Ahem, I believe it was just misleading,” a somewhat sick young man coughed twice, “but I believe that won’t change the outcome.”

There would still be players who were voted to sit last, and players would still die. ypeMQf

He raised his head and smiled with a pale face, “NPCs can lie, but copy information can’t.”

The copy information said that ghosts were good at camouflage, so there must be camouflaged ghosts in this copy.

“Well said,” Shen Qingcheng applauded, “I think the train attendant is quite suspicious now, why don’t we join forces and tie him up!”

Everyone silently turned to look at him. They had nothing good to say about that idea. E72GhU

Did he think life was too short?

The young man smiled at Shen Qingcheng, “I would be happy to cooperate, but my body doesn’t allow it.”

Shen Qingcheng asked Lu Qi, “Do they think I’m joking?”

Lu Qi nodded. IcbGS2

Shen Qingcheng said angrily, “I’m not!”

Lu Qi: “I know.”

Ah, forget it.

As the saying went, “a person’s boldness was equal to their success”, it was no wonder that they could only remain behind Lu Qi in the ranking. mlDO3J

Returning to the current topic, Shen Qingcheng gathered his thoughts and narrowed his eyes to measure up the person in front of him.

Other players could swear that the figure outside the window was misleading, but he couldn’t. At that moment, his yinyang eyes came into play again. Except for the Lu Qi who had asked him to get out of the car, who was normal, everyone else was a pale ghost.

He couldn’t tell which of the two Lu Qis was the real one.

Perhaps his gaze was too straightforward, Lu Qi asked, “How do you want me to prove it?” JOj vM

Shen Qingcheng’s lips curled up, “When we first met, there was a spot on my body that you hurt twice, what was it?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.
