"It shouldn't be an illusion..."
Jiang Ye's intuition is much higher now than before.
With his spirituality, he immediately noticed that the bacon cake point had been touched by someone!
original.
The cake shop should have fifty cakes.
But at this moment, a big cake and three small cakes beside the window disappeared inexplicably!
After counting carefully, there are only forty-six pancakes left in the cake shop!
Explain that someone has been to the bacon cake point.
and.
Without realizing it, I took four more cakes!
Could it be that little girl from before became the owner of the coffee shop because she replaced the other's father...
so.
Grudge!
Came to the bakery to steal something?
"This brat."
Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
He planned to lie in ambush in the cake shop for a day, waiting for the other party's arrival.
Let's make an unexpected attack!
after all.
This little girl has a characteristic related to "movement"!
No matter what the characteristics are, now they are the confidence to survive in the strange era!
Of course, Jiang Ye will not let go of the features that he has the opportunity to get his hands on!
"As long as I am in ambush in the attic above the cake shop."
"With my current spirituality, if someone enters the cake shop, it is easy to sense the other party's arrival at such a short distance.
"When the little girl starts stealing things, I will show up again and catch her right away!"
"In this way, after she really violated the rules of the cake shop, I have the opportunity to get the other party's characteristics.
An idea soon came to Jiang Ye's mind!
He first pretended to go to the West Street Cafe and received customers as usual.
In fact.
Jiang Ye is just taking a nap in the staff lounge at the back of the cafe.
I have to say, compared with the loft of the cake shop, the rest environment of the cafe is much better!
The staff lounge is a place similar to a small dining bar, but it has a comfortable sofa, a massage system, and a small closed room.
There is a small tatami bed inside. When you are tired, you can get into the bed and have a good rest.
Jiang Ye slept in the cafe first.
night.
Business as usual.
However, today's traffic does not seem to be as much as usual.
Just harvested four hundred coins.
Still no special customers triggered...
After five in the morning.
Jiang Ye closed the cafe, packed a cup of coffee, and hurried towards the cake shop.
Before six o'clock, he had already returned to the cake shop, ready to ambush the little girl here.
If I remember correctly, the last time the little girl entered the cake shop to steal things was at six o'clock in the morning.
For the Aboriginals in the Weird Age...
Six o'clock in the morning is exactly the time when everyone goes to bed.
Thieves usually arrive at this time.
As soon as Jiang Ye returned to the cake shop, he immediately counted the cakes here.
"Forty-six cakes!"
"fine……………"
"In time!"
"It means that the little girl is not here today."
Jiang Ye quietly went to the attic, stayed quietly in the corner, and turned off the surrounding lights, creating the illusion that the cake shop was empty.
Then, while taking out the blood-colored mobile phone and swiping the information on it, he waited for the little girl to arrive.
As usual, enter the 【Chat Channel】.
See what the players next door are talking about.
【Love to eat shrimp: "Hey, have you noticed that the difficulty of clearing the game recently seems to be getting higher and higher!"】
[The days are really sad: "Yeah, I also noticed it. If I brush the copy of Xijiang Amusement Park as usual, I almost die. Fortunately, it has the feature of suspended animation, otherwise I'm afraid I will be taken away."]
[Zhengtai Xiaomengxin: "I envy the upstairs, who actually has special features. Mengxin has been playing for so long and still hasn't got a single feature, woo woo woo...]
[Strange 囧 brother: "Well, I also noticed, you look at the big guys on the rankings, for so long, the number of cleared games on the first and second rankings has not changed, only the third place, Chen Sheng, has cleared the game The number reached 11!"]
【Prophet: "Yeah, the game is getting more and more difficult."】
【Show me: "Uh, have you noticed that the number of people talking on the public screen seems to be less than before?"]
【Nagging Rabbit: "It seems that it is true... there were at least a thousand people active in the public screen in the past, but now there are only a few dozen of us left."】
【Zhengtai Xiaomengxin: "Could it be that they were all eliminated, it feels so scary..."】
[Talking brother: "This is a normal phenomenon. The game of Weird Era is really abnormal. Most people can't play it at all. They will die at any time. The game has been in service for half a year, and there are still so many left. Player, that is a strange thing!"]
【Prophet: "Sigh, I don't know how long we can have a stable life. I feel that Life is becoming more and more difficult. Some of the foundations I laid before have become less solid and reliable now."】
"It turns out that this game has been in service for half a year..."
Jiang Ye swiped the bloody phone and got some information again.
**......
The difficulty of Strange Era is still very high!
Even the first place Wu Guang, now (cifb) is stuck at 20
Average down.
Even if it is the fastest, it will take about ten days to clear a game!
But Jiang Ye has now cleared the cafe game.
It took less than two days before and after.
and.
With his current characteristics, it is estimated that he will not be able to clear more games!
The speed is still relatively good.
only......
Jiang Ye noticed the chats of the players, and mentioned the number of cleared games for the first and second place, which has not been touched for a long time.
He couldn't help frowning slightly: "I have descended for about three days now."
"I don't know how long the first and second place have not moved."
"Since they used words like 'a long time' to describe it, it means that it was at least half a month, maybe even more than a month!"
"The speed of the clearance game in the front may be very fast, but will it slow down later?"
Jiang Ye guessed in his heart, but he didn't really want to go to the public screen to ask.
until now...
I haven't met other players in the City of Destiny yet.
It is very possible that the number of players remaining in this S-level dungeon is very small, and it is a relatively special dungeon.
It is very difficult to start!
"Half a year..."
Jiang Ye frowned slightly, feeling a little sensitive about this time, as if he had heard it somewhere.
His mind moved slightly.
Suddenly, I noticed something moving downstairs.
"Is that the little girl here?"
Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
subsequently.
He drank the Bloody Mary that had been prepared by his side in one gulp.
Gululu!!!
After the Bloody Mary was eaten, Jiang Ye became more focused than ever before, as if he could hear all the details, even in the dark, his vision could penetrate the night and see everything that happened in the cake shop clearly!
He crouched at the back of the attic, popped his head out quietly, and checked everything that happened in the Bacon Cake Shop.
However......
A horrifying scene appeared!
Beside the window, that big piece of cake is disappearing strangely!
There is no one around.
B...
As if the cake had been wiped by an eraser, it disappeared slowly and little by little.
From the missing outline of the cake, it can be seen that there are faint teeth marks, which are traces of being bitten!
But the tooth marks are very sharp, not like the marks left by people eating, more like ferocious beasts!
and...……
The traces of disappearance did not appear from one side, but from three corners, and tooth smashes appeared at the same time!
It's as if three invisible dogs from The Underworld are eating the cake!
But obviously there is nothing!
But the cake disappeared so weirdly!
in the air.
There was a faint sound of chewing!
It seems that something is in the process of development!
This scene....….…
It fell into Jiang Ye's eyes...
For some reason, the air seemed to suddenly become icy cold!
Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel goose bumps!
at the begining of.......
The Weird Era gives Own the feeling that it is still a normal society.
But with the appearance of this scene, it seems that an unknown existence appeared again, and the whole world became absurd and weird again!
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is that?"
Jiang Ye cursed inwardly.
Even if he has the rules of the "cake shop", he doesn't dare to do it casually.
This unknown enemy can't even be seen anywhere, maybe if you make a rash move, you may not be the one who gets eaten
"Could it be the characteristics of [Gourmet] and [Gluttony] that attract even more outrageous existences?"
Jiang Ye was puzzled, but due to the lack of relevant information, it was difficult to judge what happened to own cake shop!
After waiting for about five minutes......
The creepy chewing sound gradually disappeared!
Unseen, he hiccupped in satisfaction, and then left.
The whole cake shop became silent and deserted.
Jiang Ye leaned against the loft and stayed there for another hour.
After confirming that there is no sound around...
He just came down from the attic and brought the surrounding lights closer.
Carefully count the cakes in the store.
"Forty-two dollars!"
"Same as before, four cakes missing."
"This uninvited guest has been here for a total of two days and ate a total of eight pieces of cake from me, two big cakes and six small cakes."
Jiang Ye looked around the store, secretly judging what was happening around him.
At present, it seems that this "thief" is not a little girl, but a more terrifying existence!
It has unseen properties!
and.
Stealing food every time is very regular!
There are only four cakes in total!
Not much more, not much less.
"What exactly is it that appears in my shop?"
Jiang Ye frowned, he really wanted to find out who it was and entered the own shop.
But this uninvited guest seems to be an invisible existence, quite weird!
At present, there is no better channel to obtain information about the other party.
If "it" can enter the own cake shop unscrupulously, maybe the next one to be eaten will be yourself!
"The bloody mobile phone?"
Jiang Ye called softly in his heart.
However.
Unexpectedly, the bloody mobile phone did not pop up any relevant information prompts as usual!
It seems to be silent!
There are various signs that make Jiang Ye not
Frowning tightly, it seems to be in an unsolvable crisis!
"By the way, tarot cards!"
A new path suddenly flashed in Jiang Ye's mind, and his eyes lit up!
That's right, he exchanged for a brand new deck of tarot cards from the Tarot master last time!
As a divination tool....
Maybe it can bring some inspiration!
Back to West Street Cafe.
Unconsciously, the time has come to eight o'clock in the morning.
Didn't sleep all night.
Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel a little tired.
He made himself a cup of Americano coffee, sat down on the seat by the window, and opened a brand new tarot card.
It is the most common Witte Tarot.
The 22 major arcanas and the 56 minor arcanas are all familiar cards.
In the reincarnation world, Jiang Ye naturally understood the Tarot card system, and in the ancient world, he has become a celestial master.
Therefore, even if it is the divination technique of the Western system, there is no difficulty in initiation at all.
Take a sip of the Americano.
Jiang Ye felt his own mental state and returned to Apex again.
He closed his eyes and murmured the question in his mind:
"Who is the unknown being who came to the cake shop this morning and ate the cake..."
"Who is the unknown being who came to the cake shop this morning and ate the cake..."
"When I came to the cake shop this morning, it was difficult for the unknown being who ate the cake"
Repeat the question silently three times in a row...
subsequently.
Jiang Ye began to shuffle all seventy-eight tarot cards just like playing mahjong.
When I open my eyes again....
Spirituality has reached Apex status!
At this time, the selected Tarot cards are often the most accurate!
"The thirteenth card from the left hand..."
"The forty-fifth card in the left hand...
"The third one from the right..."
Relying on his own first instinct, Jiang Ye divined three cards.
Spread out in order from left to right.
According to the rules of the tarot...
The first card represents the past!
The second card represents now!
The third card represents the future!
These three cards are the basic array of tarot cards, which can answer most questions.
First, the first card that appears on the left hand side is revealed.
"Devil?"
Jiang Ye frowned slightly.
Devil, representing disease, great power, and some kind of conspiracy, matched with the world of the strange era, it seems that there is a huge BOSS hidden!
Judging from the information revealed by the first card, the situation is not good.
"[Devil] appeared in the past......"
"Could it be that the problem has already arisen?"
Jiang Ye frowned, thinking to himself.
The first card is often related to the cause of the matter, which is something that happened in the past.
But 【Devil】appeared in the first position, and it was upright, indicating that the situation was not too good.
Immediately afterwards, the second card revealed was【High Tower!
Same as 【Devil】.
It's not a good deal either!
"The tall tower represents turmoil, sudden crisis, unforeseen...
"The middle position represents the present."
"Indeed, the tower card is often related to major changes in the family, and something bad happened to my cake shop.
Jiang Ye analyzed the previous two cards, and combined, they can still represent the current state.
It shows that the Tarot cards are indeed quite accurate in the world of the Weird Era, and they have a certain enlightenment effect!
Immediately afterwards.
Jiang Ye turned over the third card.
"Queen of Pentacles?"
It is different from the previous two cards.
When【Queen of Coins】appeared, the whole card didn't look so bad anymore.
"The Devil and the tower are both cards of the Major Arcana, and their energy is stronger."
"The Queen of Star Coins is the Minor Arcana, which represents abundance and harvest. The person concerned has a more comfortable situation and can gain something."
"These three cards are combined, and the information is more confusing than expected.
If there are only the first two cards......
So.
Jiang Ye can also analyze the current situation of own.
But the third [Queen of Star Coins] card appeared in the position of "future", and everything seemed to be confusing again.
The situation is more complicated than imagined!
and.....…
Due to my lack of understanding of the strange era, even if the Tarot cards can reveal the current situation, it is difficult to capture the key to the problem.
"correct!"
"That Ms. Tarot said that if I have any questions, I can go to her in the store?"
"The location is at the end of Lane 21, West Street!"
Jiang Ye took a deep breath and decided to seek professional help.
If I remember correctly......
Ms. Tarot has predicted that an unexpected visitor will come to the cake shop.
And "it" has already come!.
