This is not a weird story

Chapter 14 Black Pearl

After seeing the decreasing time, everyone knew that the five-minute countdown prompted in the strange message had begun.

But at the moment, among the seven people in the store, at least more than half are confused. This is one of the reasons why so many people cannot survive when the ghost stories first appeared.

They must be allowed to focus all their attention on solving the problem of "looking for eyeballs" as soon as possible.

After having this idea, Wei An immediately cleared his throat, preparing for these people to adjust as soon as possible and quickly adapt to the strange talk.

He said: "It seems that we have really encountered a ghost story now. I just discovered that not only are there no pedestrians taking shelter from the rain on the street outside, but even other shops are closed. This place... should already be a ghost story world, It’s no longer the world we often live in!”

Because of the inner panic and the fact that another companion died tragically in front of them just now, the others didn't know what to say at the moment, they just looked at him.

After a pause, Wei An continued: "The countdown has begun. Our most important thing is to find the eyeball first."

"That's right, look for the eyeball first. You must find the eyeball immediately."

The twenty-twenty-three-year-old clerk who had just taken the order echoed loudly.

She was the first one to recover.

"First of all, look around yourself, in your pockets, in your bags, next to your body, etc., to see if there are any eyeballs mentioned in the mission," Wei An said.

Then he said to the two clerks at the counter: "If you don't find it after searching, pour out the pearls you just made for the pearl milk tea and take a look to see if there is an eyeball mixed in."

"ah!"

The two clerks were stunned.

In fact, if you are a little more careful, you can guess the clues from the weird name "Pearl Milk Tea".

The main task is to find the eyeball of the deceased in the car accident. This eyeball may be in a secret location, and this location must be able to hide it perfectly.

So if you think about it carefully, it is naturally the pearl auxiliary ingredient for making milk tea.

The older clerk reacted again and nodded immediately: "Yeah, Xiaoye, pour the bag of pearls you just opened into the filter basin and take a closer look."

Others also heard the conversation, and they all felt that Wei An's brain circuit was very strange, but they also felt that this was the right thing to do, because at the moment, among the items in the milk tea shop that are easiest to mix with eyeballs and not be noticed, pearls Definitely the first to bear the brunt.

"Are there any pearls in the storage room?" Wei An asked.

"Also, there are more than ten packages of vacuum-packed refrigerated ones." The young clerk replied: "Three packages of amber pearls, two packages of matcha pearls, black pearls..."

"Black Pearl, mainly looking for Black Pearl." Wei An emphasized.

Because among all the pearls, the closest to the eyeballs are black pearls. Like matcha or amber pearls, you can almost tell the difference between them at a glance.

Of course, real eyeballs are definitely larger than these pearls, but if you look carefully, you can still identify them just by looking at them.

After a while, other people in the store were looking for themselves.

At this time, the petite woman had stopped crying, but two tears were still hanging on her face, and her whole body was trembling.

The fashionably dressed woman, after searching for a while, suddenly fixed her gaze on the man who was at the same table as Wei An, and said in surprise: "Zhou Wenhua, it's you!"

The man named Zhou Wenhua obviously knew her. He raised his head slightly at this moment and did not greet the woman. Instead, he showed a bitter smile and looked at the male companion beside the woman.

"Are you following me?" the woman asked.

Just now, she was sitting with her back to the door of the store. Then the strange story happened and the car accident attracted all her attention. Now she returned to the store and sat down. After she recovered, she discovered the man named Zhou Wenhua.

Zhou Wenhua did not answer, but still stared at the man sitting next to the woman, with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"There are more than two minutes left!" Wei An reminded.

Zhou Wenhua was stunned and immediately replied: "I just looked for it, and I didn't see any eyes here."

The fashionably dressed woman and the male companion beside him said at the same time: "We didn't find it."

The petite woman also shook her head.

Xiaoye, the younger clerk at the counter, raised his head and said to the older clerk: "Sister Fang, I didn't find it here, not in the filter basin."

"Take out all the other unopened pearls." Wei An asked.

Then he prepared to go directly into the storage room behind the counter.

"I'll get it, but you can't find it." The clerk named Sister Fang immediately opened the storage room door and walked in.

"Everyone come here to help." Wei An saw that these young people were in a very bad state. Not only were they confused, there seemed to be some emotional disputes among them.

Moreover, it seemed that the petite woman was deeply affected by the scene where her male companion (probably her boyfriend) abandoned her and fled alone but was crushed to death by a truck. In these short few minutes, it seemed that she could not recover at all.

Wei An believed that if he had not been involved in the strange story this time, all these people would have been wiped out and they would not have escaped.

And given the current situation, he didn't know how many people would die here.

The clerk named "Sister Fang" seemed to be the most reliable now. She quickly left the storage room in a hurry with five packages of black pearls, shouting: "It's too late, everyone, come here and help find them."

This kind of black pearls are more popular in milk tea shops than amber pearls and matcha pearls. They are usually made from starch and are usually purchased in more quantities than other pearls. It will definitely take some time to find them.

The fashionably dressed woman, her male companion, and the petite woman were all indifferent. Zhou Wenhua, who was suspected of following the woman, stood up and walked over quickly.

Wei An asked the clerk to open the sealed bags of these black pearls and pour them into four different containers so that everyone could find them separately.

However, shortly after pouring the black pearls into the container, the countdown showed that five minutes had expired.

The busy people stopped one by one. Wei An stood in front of the counter. On the counter was a small basin containing some black pearls, which he was looking for.

While searching, Wei An had already opened the "plot editor" in his mind.

But this time he discovered that running the editor to speculate on the plot was no longer free, but required him to add energy points into it.

He tried to charge 10 points just now, because since activating the "Search for Strange Tales" function with 100 points of energy, Wei An only had 100 points left. He had to save some at the moment in case he would need it later.

Unexpectedly, the editor did not respond.

There was no way, Wei An charged up energy again, but only 10 points each time.

After charging 50 points, the "Plot Speculation" button can finally be pressed again.

It seems that in the future, you will need 50 points to enable speculation, but I don’t know if after spending these 50 points, you can continue to speculate on the plot in the ghost story, or if you can only speculate once at a time.

And this time the speculated plot seems to be only one paragraph.

[Analyzing the plot of the host’s experience...]

[Based on the plot experienced by the host, the plot that may happen next has been speculated. 】

[Plot: The first five-minute countdown ended quickly. Although some of you have been busy, you didn't even see the shadow of the eyeball. The first victim appeared. She was the most active one in the first round of searching for eyeballs. Unfortunately, God is always so unfair, but bad luck befell her first. She picked out her eyeball and swallowed it. Then she pointed her right index finger at you and said in a weird tone: You don't belong here! The probability of this plot happening is 95%]

Thanks to Earl Shark, Helian Yue, and that piece of coconut for the reward!
