Chapter 762 Phantom


    “To be honest, I can’t stand British food.”


    Duanmuhuai sat in the car while complaining constantly.


    "I used to think that the nightmare of others was to let the British be a cook. I thought I was playing with memes, but now I realize that this is simply a sad fact."


    Looking at the scenery outside the car, Duanmu Huai sighed. To be honest, he did think so at the beginning. After all, this is a modern civilized city and a place where various cultures gather. Perhaps it is just that the local British cuisine is more difficult to eat, but foreign cuisine can still be eaten, and the last time I can go to eat fast food...


    Well, Duanmu Huai admitted that he had made a mistake.


    There is nothing **** to eat in Britain.


    Take fruits for example. There are obviously many fresh and juicy fruit varieties in this world, but only sour fruits can be bought in supermarkets. Obviously, with the location of this country, importing delicious fruits is not difficult, but you can only buy unpalatable fruits in any supermarket.


    Not only fruits, but also the ingredients themselves. This way, we can understand why the British cannot make delicious meals - the ingredients themselves are like rotten dead meat, and no matter how they are, they cannot make delicious barbecue chops, right?


    Over the past year, Duanmuhuai has eaten the most fast foods like hamburgers. It’s a sad thing to say, it’s really a British meal that makes him unable to eat.


    For example, if you actually put the soup on a plate and drink it, what if your house doesn’t have a bowl! ?


    And the plate is like a UFO, with a dysfunctional edge, so why use this thing to make soup? Wouldn''t it be more convenient for you to get a basin?


    My heartbroken!


    Duanmuhuai felt that the concept of food in this country had been distorted. He still remembered that a magician spent time to please Medea and used completely traditional methods to create a Korkis food. For this reason, he even hired farmers to find ancient plant seeds, cultivated and planted them in ancient ways, picked them in ancient ways, and even transported them in ancient ways.


    As a result, Medea, who received the food, told him with a complicated look that she still felt that the fruit cakes in the street cake shop were more delicious... This is also normal. Can the food thousands of years ago be compared with now?


    At that time, the heroes probably didn’t get rid of the fishy fish when they ate wild boar meat.


    This is like the ancients traveling to modern times, eating sweet steamed buns steamed from fine flour, and then you specially made a bran and grain cake to make him recall the past...


    The other party probably has the heart to curse.


    Duanmuhuai is actually not the kind of person who pays attention to food. Most of the time, he can eat it and get it done. So he can complain like this, and you can imagine how bad the food in this country is.


    "This past is really ruined."


    “MASTER?”


    "Just kidding, okay, we should almost get to the place."


    With Duanmuhuai''s words, the shadow of a small town appeared at the end of the road.


    Strictly speaking, this is not even a road.


    Yes, there is no asphalt, nor flatness, it looks like the dirt road that was naturally formed by a carriage in ancient times. For this car, it is almost a torment. Duanmuhuai can even hear the moan of the chassis when it bumps.


    “Bang———!”


    However, at this moment, something collapsed before the chassis. With an explosion, Duanmuhuai felt the car body tilted, then glided on the ground for a moment, and stopped tilted.


    "Hey? What happened?"


    Alice Phil, sitting in the driver''s seat, held the steering wheel in his hand and looked left and right curiously.


    "The tire has exploded."


    Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently.


    "Okay, let''s get off the car first."


    It is obvious that the car in front of me is as Duanmu Huai said, and the front wheel on the left completely exploded. To be honest, judging from the broken appearance of this car, it should be considered a contribution of magic, otherwise it would have fallen apart halfway.


    The evidence is...


    “Woo———!”


    Marthus staggered out of the passenger seat, knelt on the ground and turned his back to everyone, and then there was a "wow" sound that was inconvenient to say it clearly.


    "Oh, it seems that this journey is really tormenting for Mathue."


    Alice Phil looked at Maxiu sympathetically, while Duanmu Huai looked at her sympathetically.


    "I think it''s better to be more self-aware of my driving skills."


    To be honest, if Duanmu Huai hadn''t been in a state of being suitable for driving, Medea and Maxiu would easily be regarded as underage, and Alice Phil would not have shown her driving skills here.


    To be honest, as far as driving itself is concerned, Alice Phil''s skill is actually OK, at least she can send people from here to there.


    But other than that... just look at Mashu.


    Fortunately, Medea is a heroic spirit, and he has already become a spirited spirit.


    But Mashu, who is a follower, is not so lucky and can only suffer.


    Fortunately, Fei''er didn''t follow him.


    As the owner of this spiritual vein, Fei Oulei should have come together, but her legs were really inconvenient, so Duanmu Huai didn''t take her.


    "What should I do with this car?"


    "I can only leave it here. What else can I do? Let the Vlvigi family send someone to recycle it."


    Duanmuhuai shrugged her shoulders and then walked towards the town in front of her, while Medea and Alice Phil disappeared, and only Maxiu followed Duanmuhuai with shaking steps.


    There was still a distance from the accident site to the town, but fortunately when the two of them came to the gate of the town, Massie finally came back from the painful motion sickness because he walked all the way.


    "Is this the town that Miss Fiore called? It does look quite different."


    “Yeah, yes.”


    Hearing Maxiu''s sigh, Duanmu Huai nodded. Generally speaking, some remote mountainous areas are indeed not very developed because of their long-term isolation from the world. It is not uncommon for the same appearance for hundreds of years, but the town in front of me is a bit beyond Duanmuhuai''s expectations. Although it is indeed remote, there are many people in the town, and people can be seen coming and going from time to time, which is quite lively.


    How to say... This reminds Duanmuhuai of the film and television city he visited in China before. Because it was about to shoot costume films, it was built with ancient buildings, and most of the pedestrians were wearing ancient costumes. At first glance, it looked like they were back in ancient times - this small town now gives Duanmuhuai this feeling.


    They seemed to have accidentally entered a large costume filming set. The people around them looked like actors in costume films, and only the two of them were completely out of place, like tourists who accidentally broke in from outside.


    The reason is that after Duanmu Huai walked into the town, almost no one looked at him and Maxiu. They acted as if the two were not particularly different. They just ignored the two like ordinary people, and no one even looked at them curiously, so Maxiu doubted whether these people could not see themselves at all. Fortunately, these people still know how to make way for Duanmu Huai and Maxiu, which means they are not blind.


    "Where are we going next? MASTER?"


    Ma Xiu came to Duanmuhuai and asked in a low voice, while Duanmuhuai glanced around.


    "Anyway, let''s go to that hotel according to the way Fiore and the others."


    The construction of this town itself is very simple. A cross-shaped main road is divided into southeast, west and north, and the houses on both sides are built along these four main roads. The hotel was located at the intersection in the middle. Duanmu Huai and Maxiu found it without much effort, and then Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and walked in.


    The doorbell rang, but the waiter sitting behind the counter was not at all in service and just lay there and slept. Duanmuhuai walked to the counter, reached out and pressed the bell, and then woke the waiter up.


    “Welcome to…”


    The waiter who woke up yawned, stretched his waist wide, and then looked at Duanmu Huai and Maxiu. This was the old man, who looked about sixty or seventy years old. His eyelids were half-hooked, and he looked like he was sleeping but not sleeping, as if he had no indication of Duanmu Huai''s appearance.


    "What''s wrong?"


    “Live in a hotel.”


    “How many rooms?”


    “Two rooms.”


    "Okay, please register, the accommodation fee is ten pence."


    Hearing the old man''s words, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows, then took out a piece of paper money from his pocket and handed it over. The old man took the paper money and put it in the drawer without even looking at it. Then he grabbed a handful of coins and handed it to Duanmuhuai along with the key next to him.


    “The room is on the second floor, 201 and 202, don’t go wrong.”


    After saying this, the old man felt exhausted and fell asleep again on the counter.


    “Is it really okay to do business like this?”


    Maxiu looked at the sleeping old man worriedly and complained helplessly, while Duanmu Huai picked up the key.


    "let''s go."


    When he arrived at the room on the second floor, Duanmuhuai opened the door. The decoration inside was as old and dilapidated as this small town, and it was almost not a good place to live.


    "It''s really... Although Miss Fiore said it, it''s still unexpected."


    Looking at the oil lamps placed in front of her, the worn seats and beds, Maxiu couldn''t help but sigh. At this moment, she turned her head and saw a little boy standing at the door, so Maxiu hurriedly greeted him.


    "Hello, are you the hotel owner''s child?"


    “…………”


    Faced with Mashu''s greeting, the boy shrank back silently, and then quickly turned and left. Seeing this scene, Maxiu felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, Duanmu Huai also looked at her.


    "What''s wrong? Mashu?"


    "Ah, nothing..."


    "Okay, close the door, let''s have a small meeting first."


    "OK."


    After Matho closed the door, Alice Phil and Medea also appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground.


    "What did you all find?"


    Duanmu Huai has average observation ability. In the Cthulhu world, he relied on bell girl to investigate clues. Now he can only rely on Alice Phil and Medea.


    "Alice Phil?"


    “To be honest, I can’t see that these town residents are like manipulated dolls or artificial people.”


    Alice Phil, who is a family of authoritative artificial humans, quickly gave an answer.


    "In my opinion, their souls are very stable and have a high degree of fit with their bodies. They can be regarded as simple ordinary people...at least from my perspective."


    According to Alice Fil, the artificial humans of the Einzberen family have very weak personalities. This may be because they are artificial humans. Only through years of cultivation can a few artificial humans form a certain fixed personality. Einzberen recognizes them as the defects brought by the blank body without a soul. This is also the reason why they pursue the Third Cup of Heaven - the concreteization of the soul. With this ability, there is no need to create artificial humans, which is just a manifestation.


    So from this perspective, the souls and bodies in the bodies of the people in this town are consistent, which at least avoids the possibility that they are artificial humans or some magicians can grab the soul and stuff them into the body of the doll.


    At least that''s what Alice Phil thinks.


    "I didn''t feel the breath of magic, but the people here seem to have very devout faith."


    Medea looked out the window. In this small town, there were only two tall buildings, one in the hotel and the other was the church. The bell tower and the cross above were also towering. Not only that, along the way, Duanmu Huai and Maxiu also noticed that each of them carried the cross - well, at least it means they were believers.


    Pious or not is another matter.


    "So, from your point of view, is this an ordinary town?"


    "That''s right, no wonder Miss Fiore didn''t see it at the beginning."


    Medea nodded.


    "But I do feel something is wrong, but what is the specific reason... I still need to investigate."


    "That''s it."


    Duanmu Huai said as he sat on the bed with his butt.


    "Next, let''s replicate Fiore''s actions that night. According to Fiore, she was attacked by villagers on the night of staying in the hotel. I want to see if this is the case."
