Chapter 280 - 280: Mysterious Person
At the same time, Ji Jing and Bu Yu arrived at a restaurant in the south of the city.
This restaurant was the largest in the town. There was a constant flow of people every day, and the traffic was very dense.
This was the place where Bu Yu used to inquire about information. The reason why he thought of coming here to inquire about information was because he had noticed a few unusual people before.
” I think they might have noticed something wrong with this world,” Bu Yu explained.”He’s always saying something difficult to understand. Maybe it’s a secret code he’s given.”
This was the target that he had accidentally discovered after wandering around the city for a few hours. His actions and words were mysterious. Originally, he just wanted to follow that strange person, but he accidentally found that the restaurant had the most news, so he let nature take its course.
Ji Jing pondered for a moment.” It’s possible. There are so many living souls gathered in this ghost realm. It’s not surprising that some of them are capable people. Even if they didn’t notice the abnormality of the world, their mysterious actions might be related to the search for the cursed.””
” The strangest thing is that the time in this world is constantly reset, so the people who are trapped in it are actually repeating the same day. That is to say, if they are also affected by time, they should repeatedly send the same message at the same time,” Buyu continued.” But they are not. In terms of game time, sometimes they come every day, sometimes they come every few days.”
There was obviously something wrong with the non-repetitive behavior during the repetitive time.
Ji Jing followed Bu Yu’s gaze. Sure enough, at the time Bu Yu predicted, a man dressed as a peddler sat in a corner with familiarity.
” He was sitting at the table opposite yesterday,” Bu Yu said, hinting at the table in the other corner. He had chosen a different table every time, which was one of the reasons why Bu Yu suspected him.
Ji Jing saw that the waiter was ordering the dishes as if they were normal, but when he served the man, he specially placed a free side dish for him. Her gaze fell slightly on the plate of side dishes. There seemed to be a piece of paper under it.
“He took it from the fourth row of tables just now.”Bu Yu said in a low voice.
Previously, he had only been suspicious, but this time, Bu Yu had personally seen them pass the message.
Ji Jing took out a small piece of paper from her pocket. This was the little paper figurine she had left in the Ji family. She did not expect that it would be able to successfully enter this ghost realm with her.
“Little paper man, bring me that note.”Ji Jing instructed in a low voice.
The little paper man nodded without hesitation. It was familiar with this kind of work!
The peddler tried his best to identify the words on the note under the cover of the plate, and then carefully hid it in his pocket.
However, the little paper man was more cautious than him. He walked close to the table and quietly crawled into his pocket. Then, he returned to Ji Jings side with the note.
“4?”Ji Jing opened the note that the little paper man had given her in surprise. There was only one number written on it.
“He’s leaving!” Bu Yu hurriedly tugged at Ji Jings clothes.
The peddler did not seem to have much appetite. He casually ate two mouthfuls and stood up to pay the bill.
“Let’s go, we’ll follow them.” Ji Jing whispered.
What did 4 mean? Was it the fourth option or the fourth time?
The two of them followed the peddler and followed behind him under the cover of the buildings and pedestrians.
Fortunately, the peddler did not seem to expect that he would be followed. He was not vigilant and rarely looked back. He just kept walking.
Unfortunately, the distance he had to walk was a little far. Ji Jing never expected that he would walk directly from the restaurant in the south of the city to the foot of Chengbei Mountain.
If she had known this would happen, she would have just left with the old man. Ji Jing dragged her tired feet as she thought.
The man was not walking slowly, and his stamina was unusually good. He did not stop along the way, so much so that Bu Yu was panting as he walked..”Phew, why hasn’t it stopped?! Where was he going? Was he going to climb the mountain?”
