I played the world alone

Chapter 437 Looking for Traces (-in-)

In the following time, Lu Chen did not use any special power rashly. He pretended to be a very ordinary person and walked slowly on the street, observing the surrounding situation.

This place looks a bit like New York 20 years ago, but unfortunately I don’t see the Twin Towers that were still standing at that time, and some of the iconic buildings are also different.

The people coming and going around are also of different races, including white people, black people, and yellow people.

So even if he appeared here in his original appearance, he didn't attract too many people's attention.

At most, a few homeless people noticed him and tried to beg him, but he refused.

In addition, there are some small episodes.

Snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky, and after a while, a layer of snow slowly accumulated on the ground.

Only then did Lu Chen notice that the time seemed out of sync with reality. It was already winter here, and his clothes were a little thin now. No wonder passers-by looked at him more and more frequently.

Some people even asked him if he needed help and could direct him to the rescue station. After being rejected by him, he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he thought that he still couldn't attract too much attention, so he casually walked into a clothing store and changed into something more suitable for his current clothes. He even adjusted himself while looking in the mirror. appearance.

He soon adjusted into a relatively mild-looking white man.

When the clerk next to him turned around and saw the man facing the mirror, he couldn't help but be slightly distracted. He seemed to be thinking doubtfully, does the person who came in just now look like this?

"Sir...have you been here just now?" She wondered if she had not had enough sleep last night, so she had strange hallucinations.

She clearly remembered that it was an Asian just now...

"Madam, you may need to take a good rest. I have been here just now." Lu Chen showed a gentle smile.

The clerk looked at his smile and was stunned. The focus of his eyes seemed to disappear for a while before slowly recovering, and then he bowed in shame and apologized.

"I'm very sorry, sir... I saw it wrong..."

"It's okay, just be careful in the future."

Lu Chen waved his hand, put away his velvet windbreaker and scarf, and walked slowly outside the store.

Of course, he couldn't forget the money. He just stole it from the people in the luxury cars on the roadside, so there was no psychological pressure to use it.

After changing her outfit, she attracted less attention.

But what is a little strange is that although the system introduced this place as a magical world, there was no one or anything related to magic.

"No...it's still possible to say it."

Lu Chen stopped at the entrance of a movie theater and looked up at the poster on the wall.

One of the posters is a wizard poster similar to "Harry Potter", but the protagonist is not a boy with lightning on his forehead, but another short-haired girl riding a broom.

He even had time to go in and watch a movie.

The content is relatively boring. It is basically a story about a girl who mistakenly enters the wizarding world, and then grows up and fights monsters along the way.

Judging from the comments of other moviegoers, it is quite novel. It should be because I have not experienced the bombardment of various movies in later generations, so I am still new to these.

This also proves that at least the vast majority of people in this world currently have no knowledge of wizards.

"So where are the wizards in this world?"

After Lu Chen walked out of the cinema, he looked up at the snow falling more and more all over the sky, feeling a little confused.

There was no sign of the invasion of darkness. Everything was so normal that nothing unusual could be seen. Not even the wizard was seen.

He is not a perverted murderer and cannot directly destroy the world.

"It shouldn't be...there must be something abnormal somewhere, but I didn't notice it."

After looking around, he finally chose to enter a relatively quiet bar.

There is no loud music here, just a country band singing more soothing music.

Most of the customers coming and going around are workers who have just gotten off work. If they don't want to go home for the time being, they can drink a few glasses of wine here to warm up.

After sitting at the bar and asking the bartender for a drink, I asked casually and tentatively.

"Is there anything interesting or strange happening around here?"

"Interesting thing?" The bartender glanced at him while pouring the wine, "I can't say for sure. But if you want to know."

Lu Chen threw a note over.

The bartender's expression softened a lot: "There are a lot of interesting things. For example, the Franklin family's wife had an affair with her fitness instructor, and the commotion was quite big. They even drew a gun and shot each other at noon today..."

"Hey! Let me tell you, that fitness instructor is also in charge of several other women. Maybe they all have sex. Go check it out..."

Two other guests happened to be sitting next to them. They spoke in an exaggerated and mocking tone, attracting Lu Chen's eyes.

They were two fat men who looked relatively strong and had just gotten off work. One of them was still wearing a white coat, which made people wonder if he had just slipped out of the clinic.

And they must be regular customers here, the bartender also recognized them, and after asking the same question, he started making drinks.

"Hey, if you ask me, it must be that their husbands have not satisfied them in bed, so that's why they are like this. Unlike me..."

The two spoke loudly and laughed, attracting the attention of many others.

After Lu Chen listened to them quietly, he was not interested in these dirty things, so he asked: "Well, I want to know something more interesting. I just finished watching the wizard movie that was released recently..."

"Well, that was very interesting. I liked it very much, so I was wondering if there really are wizards in this world?"

At this point, the two people burst into laughter, and even the bartender couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head slightly.

"what happened?"

Lu Chen shook the wine glass slightly and asked pretending to be confused.

The man on the left laughed and said: "We have heard this sentence of yours many times recently. Since the movie was released, many people, especially the children, like it like crazy. Many parents like it like crazy. Come and ask us how to deal with it.”

The bartender handed over two glasses of wine and added at the right time: "These two are doctors from a nearby mental hospital and are very experienced in this kind of topic."

Lu Chen looked very interested.

"It's normal for children to like these. For example, I've been very addicted to these recently."

"No, no, no, you don't know the real madness." The other person took a sip of wine, seemingly relying on the strength of the wine, and the gentle man in front of him seemed to have a magical power that made him trust him and couldn't help but I just want to tell the secret.

"I've been in charge of two poor twins lately. They've gone absolutely crazy!"

He lowered his voice a little and widened his eyes, as if to prove that what he said was true. "They said they were really wizards, just like the protagonist in the movie. They were sent to a magic academy to study."

"That magic academy is in another world that is completely different from ours. There are many magical creatures there, and they are even more colorful and mysterious than those shown in the movies!"

"In the end, due to some unexpected chaos, they had to run back and claimed that someone was trying to kill them. They usually didn't even dare to go out and kept hiding in the bedroom."

"Oh?"

Lu Chen was really interested at this time.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"Please give this respected psychiatrist another drink." He snapped his fingers, and the bartender smiled and nodded.

It seemed that because his story had an interested audience, he became more energetic and continued talking.

"Of course there is no problem. However, due to patient privacy issues, I cannot disclose the specific name, but I can indeed tell you some content secretly."

"Those are a pair of twin brothers. Their parents said that they are very smart and very talented in sports. They may even have the opportunity to become sports stars in the future."

"But after they went to high school, they often stayed up at night. Their parents were a little worried, but they did return to school safely, so they gradually got used to it."

"But just a few days ago, the two brothers suddenly seemed to have gone crazy. They did not dare to go to school. They hid at home and told their parents what I just said..."

"There is no doubt that this is what they imagined after watching the movie." The psychiatrist was very decisive, "But their parents have no choice but to seek our help."

"I have shown it to them twice, but unfortunately, there is no concrete result. They are very convinced that the magical world they imagined is real, and the content described is also very detailed."

"Even I was almost convinced by them that this place really existed."

He spread his hands as if telling a funny joke, and the companions next to him burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, I was there at the time. Sir, you may not know that they said it very accurately, but when we wanted them to perform magic, they shook their heads desperately."

"It's said that once they use magic, they will be targeted by bad guys, and they can only hide."

As they spoke, they spread their hands helplessly.

"We have seen many people with mental illness, but it is rare to find people who are as stubborn and convinced as they are. We can only let them take some treatment drugs to see if there may be some improvement."

The bartender interjected at the right moment.

"If their parents saw you two alcoholic doctors, they might reconsider following your orders."

"Haha, this is an old habit, isn't it? Listening to the patients every day, if we don't relax, sooner or later there will be problems with our heads."

"Very interesting story."

Lu Chen shook hands with the two of them.

"Yes, but please don't tell anyone, otherwise we may be fired." The two of them were still a little sober.

"Of course. But for the next time, you two should rest for a while."

Lu Chen smiled. The two of them were drunk and didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

The bartender was turning around to take down a bottle of wine from the wine rack. When he turned around, he was surprised to see that the place where the three of them were sitting was now empty.

There were only three empty wine glasses left, and bills on the table that were obviously higher than the price of the wine.

"Why did you leave so early today..." The bartender was a little confused, but didn't pay too much attention.

Maybe it's something urgent.

……

Late at night, the doorbell rang suddenly at the door of the Clorance family.

The couple hadn't slept yet, and were sitting in the living room sighing. Some boring late-night TV series was playing on the TV as the background, but no one was paying attention to it.

Hearing the doorbell, both of them subconsciously looked up towards the door, looking a little confused.

The husband walked to the door first and carefully opened it a crack.

"Who is it...oh, it's Dr. Barton!"

Seeing the familiar man standing outside the door, who was slightly fat and wearing a white coat, the husband immediately softened his expression and showed a somewhat reluctant smile of welcome.

"What's wrong with coming so late?"

Dr. Barton smiled brightly: "I'm a little worried about the children's condition, and I also thought of a new treatment with very good results, so I wanted to come over and have a look."

"Oh, thank God! Thank you so much, come on in!"

The wife behind had also heard the noise, and immediately came forward to greet him excitedly, helping to shake off the snow on his body.

After entering the house, the husband glanced upstairs subconsciously and sighed: "I took the medicine as you said, but neither of their conditions improved."

"We want to know how we can recover them..." the wife covered her face and sobbed.

"Don't worry, as I just said, the treatment I brought this time will be very effective." Dr. Barton comforted him, and then asked, "Are they still in the room?"

"I haven't been out for two days since I went to your hospital last time." The husband replied immediately.

Dr. Barton nodded and walked upstairs under the guidance of the head of the household.

Normally, the two brothers' rooms should be separated, one on the left and one on the right, but at this moment, the two of them were hiding in their younger brother's room because they were too scared.

At the same time, the door has been locked. It is suspected that the keyhole inside has been blocked or even damaged, and it cannot be opened even with a key from outside.

It seems that the previous consultation with a psychiatrist may have made their shadow even greater.

After letting the couple go downstairs and leave first, Dr. Barton...no, it should be said that Lu Chen, who was in disguise, stood outside the door and knocked lightly.

"Da da."

Suddenly there was a very small noise inside, as if the two brothers were getting up in a panic.

"I'm Dr. Barton. I'm here to treat you. Please open the door."

"We're not going out! We're not lying, we're not mentally ill! You go back!"

The two brothers said almost in unison.
