The police in Bay City are very dedicated. Even in the middle of the night, they are still very quick to dispatch police. They quickly rushed to the hotel. When they saw two serious-looking police officers walking into the store, the front desk lady thought that some major murder had occurred in the hotel, so she quickly rushed to the hotel. Called the lobby manager.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and the two police officers were just here to retrieve the surveillance video.
After understanding the specific situation from the reporter in person, a police officer immediately retrieved the hotel's surveillance video. Unfortunately, the hotel's camera was not aimed at the location Lin Anyu mentioned, so it was impossible to determine whether it was really true at night. Some people threw themselves into the sea.
Another policeman personally went to the beach to search. When he came back, some parts of his body were soaked by the sea water. However, it could be seen from his frowning expression that there was nothing gained from this search.
Fortunately, the camera in another store next to the hotel happened to be pointed at the "site of the crime". The two police officers perked up and immediately went to retrieve the surveillance video of that night. However, they sped up and watched several hours of surveillance footage. , until Lin Anyu and Han Zhou appeared on the beach, not only did they not see anyone walking into the sea, they did not even see the footprints mentioned by the reporter.
This discovery made Lin Anyu, the reporter of the crime, horrified.
He clearly saw such an obvious row of footprints with his own eyes, but the cold images on the surveillance video seemed to deny his memory. He turned to look at Han Zhou, who patted his shoulder lightly and said he didn't need to worry.
The two policemen were quite friendly. Although their trip was in vain, a false alarm was better than a real murder. They did not characterize Lin Anyu and Han Zhou's behavior as calling the police falsely, and reminded them to take a good rest, and then Just drove away.
Lin Anyu stood at the door of the hotel, watching the police car leave with a bewildered expression, and laughed at himself: "Why do I feel like they treat me as a drunk who drank fake wine?"
Han Zhou comforted him: "It's good to treat you as a drunkard, otherwise you might have to visit the police station tonight."
Lin Anyu looked dejected: "Do you also think I got it wrong?"
He still felt that he could not be wrong, but the fact was before him. He could only accept this fact, but he still felt unwilling to do so.
"That's not true." Han Zhou shook his head solemnly.
"Why?" Lin Anyu was stunned.
"You never missed my answer when you peeked at me in high school." Han Zhou said seriously.
"What kind of answer is this?" Lin Anyu was amused.
"Anyway, I believe you."
After all, Gu Zheng also saw it... Han Zhou added silently in his heart.
If Gu Zheng hadn't joked with him on the phone just now, then they seemed to have encountered something terrible.
Can some people see a row of weird footprints that others can't...
This truth is far more horrifying than someone committing suicide by throwing themselves into the sea.
However, Han Zhou didn't plan to tell Lin Anyu about this for the time being, at least not now, otherwise this guy would definitely not be able to sleep.
The first priority now is to rest. Even if you have to solve the puzzle, you can put it in the future.
But no way...
Are there really some mysterious phenomena in this world?
Although as a time traveler with a status bar on his body, Han Zhou himself can be said to be one of the most mysterious phenomena, but when he faced this strange phenomenon that only existed in rumors, he still found it incredible.
What on earth is this?

I fell down and strained my medial collateral ligament. I had to rest for several weeks. I was very sad. In addition, I need to emphasize that there are no supernatural phenomena or supernatural abilities in this book. The status bar is the only abnormality.

Chapter 252 On the Journey
Early the next morning, Han Zhou and others got on the earliest passenger bus and headed to a place called Linhai Town.
However, Linhai Town was not their final destination. Anticipating that Xiao Xiaoxiao would still be sleepy this morning, Han Zhou asked her about the itinerary early in the morning. He knew that after arriving at Linhai Town, he would need to transfer another bus, and the entire trip would cost about three days. Hours.
Lin Anyu was absent-minded along the way, obviously still thinking about what happened last night, and beside him was Bai Tongtong, who looked like a lady to everyone.
This girl arrived at the station earlier than everyone else and seemed to be very positive about going to the fishing village together.
To be honest, Lin Anyu didn't really want to sit with Bai Tongtong, but he couldn't ask her to change seats. He could only stare out the window and meditate.
Xiao Xiaoxiao fell asleep after getting on the bus. The bus was not as good as the train, and the road was bumpy. She couldn't be left to sleep alone. She might knock her head if she wasn't careful, so Gu Zheng had to sit next to her and take care of her.
It's not that she hates Xiao Xiaoxiao, it's just that compared to this girl, she still wants to sit with Han Zhou more. Although there is only an aisle between them, she is still a little depressed.
It was not a festival, so there were not many passengers rushing to Linhai Town early in the morning, not to mention a group of young people. There were only five passengers in the car. The driver asked while driving: "Are you going to participate?" Are you from the Haiyan in Linhai Town?"
"Haiyan?" Lin Anyu was closer to the driver and asked, "What is Haiyan?"
"It's a custom in Linhai Town," the driver said with a smile, "I don't know about Haiyan. It seems I guessed wrong. Then you must be students going to sketch, right?"
Linhai Town is famous for its beautiful scenery, at least in Bay City. Junior high schools, high schools and even universities will organize sketching outings in the town from time to time to experience the natural scenery.
"Master, you think too highly of us. None of us can draw. How can we write about life?" Lin Anyu said cheerfully, "Can't we just go home to visit relatives?"
"It can't be a visit to relatives. I can tell at a glance that you are outsiders. I am not bragging. Unless you are driving by yourself, you will almost always take my car when you go to Linhai Town. All of you are handsome guys and beauties. If it is really a town I’ve already remembered you guys.”
"That's right."
Lin Anyu puffed up his chest and nodded in agreement. He didn't know whether he was agreeing with the driver's analysis or with the phrase "all of you are handsome guys and beauties."
At this moment, Bai Tongtong suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Well, actually I can draw."
Lin Anyu was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, I forgot."
"It doesn't matter." Bai Tongtong shook her head gently, "I'm just reminding you."
Han Zhou didn't pay attention to the whispers between the two, and asked aloud: "Master, do you know anything about Jianyan Village?"
"Meet Yancun?" the driver repeated as if confirming.
"Yes, see you when you meet, salt of salt."
When Han Zhou heard the name for the first time, he thought it was a bit strange, but after hearing from Xiao Xiaoxiao's novel that the village's main business long ago was drying salt, it no longer seemed strange.
"I've never heard of this..."
The driver thought for a long time, and finally shook his head regretfully, "I know a lot about the villages near Linhai Town, but this is the first time I have heard of this village name."
As an experienced driver, he felt a little ashamed of his limited knowledge.
It does seem to be a quite remote place... Everyone secretly thought to themselves and glanced at Xiao Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly. They thought that it was quite a feat to be admitted to Lincheng University from such a remote place. Inspiring.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand her usual self-satisfied manner. It is estimated that her status in the school was similar to that of guzheng. She has always firmly occupied the first position. It is hard to say that she is the first in a discontinuous manner. , after all, it is unlikely that a small place like this can produce many students who can be admitted to Linda.
It’s not that people in small places are stupid, it’s just that some things must be admitted. Educational resources are very important. The more economically developed places are, the better the educational resources are. In places with relatively backward economies, educational resources are poor. It cannot be said to be fair. Fair, but the innate gap obviously exists, otherwise the college entrance examination would not use different test papers.
It is a very rare thing to be admitted to a good university in a small place with backward education, especially after thinking that Xiao Xiaoxiao still suffers from insomnia, even someone as arrogant as a guzheng feels awe-inspiring.
However, more questions followed. Since it was such a remote place that even veteran drivers who had been around for many years had never heard of it, it was even more impossible for Han Zhou to go there. He could really find the "lost" there. memory"? What exactly is the place Xiao Xiaoxiao mentioned?
The passenger car was driving fast on the highway, and some passengers gradually got on the road. The rest of the journey was not so pleasant. The road ahead was quite bumpy, and the passenger car would make a "big jump" from time to time. Xiao Xiaoxiao stumbled around in the car. , if Gu Zheng hadn’t been watching, he might have kowtowed on the car window several times.
Han Zhou pretended to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but he was actually checking the suddenly updated monthly shopping mall.
He didn't know whether it was because of the appearance of the main quest or because there was something special about this month. The products this month were quite novel. He read the product information several times before roughly confirming the purpose of the products.
The first is this "mysterious tip bag". The name alone is inconsistent with the usual style of the status bar. The function that can obtain mysterious information after opening it gives people an unclear feeling. Han Zhou can't see it for the time being. Purpose, but it is speculated that it may be related to the "mysterious footprints" encountered last night.
He had guessed before that at least one of the products provided in the status column would be what he currently needs. For example, the initial status temporary solidifier and the subsequent mission detector are the props he needs most at this stage.
Therefore, the phrase "may provide some tips or help for your current situation" in the product description about the mysterious kit is most likely referring to the "mysterious footprints" incident. After all, normally speaking, he would definitely touch this kind of supernatural phenomenon. He has no clue, otherwise we can’t teach him how to make money or how to deal with emotional problems, right?
The appearance of "sleeping pills" can support Han Zhou's conjecture. He had a hunch that this thing was prepared to solve Xiao Xiaoxiao's insomnia problem.
To be honest, this treatment is a bit exaggerated. You must know that Zhong Ling, as an unlockable character, is still troubled by the problem of being unable to make a sound. There is no such product as a "big speaker" in the status bar. Xiao Xiaoxiao has So special?
But I have to say, putting aside other issues, the insomnia medicine is very versatile, not expensive, and effective. If he can't sleep in the future, he can take one pill for himself, and feed a few more pills. It can be used as a drug, and it is also a perfect magic weapon for home travel.
I just don’t know if it is colorless and odorless.
The function of the "state extractor" is not difficult to understand. Simply put, it generates a state out of thin air to replace the current random state. It seems to be just one more opportunity to manually refresh the random state, but regardless of the high price of 111 points , or the purchase limit once every three months, or the words "bringing huge deviations" and "necessary corrections" in the remarks, they all repeatedly emphasized one thing to Han Zhou——
This thing is not simple.
Han Zhou was very curious, but considering that the status given by the status extractor was only a seven-day experience card, it was a bit of a loss to replace "resign yourself to fate". He planned to buy a status bar slot expander first, and then do it try.
This item can permanently add a random state slot, and then the random state of this slot can be used to replace the state given by the state extractor, continuing to retain the "leave it to fate" state.
As for the effect of the "Skill Extension Pill", it may seem a little difficult to understand, but Han Zhou still understood it. This thing is a bit like the job change that characters in the game need to go through after reaching a certain level. There are multiple development directions for you to choose. You can choose a direction of "job change" after spending fifty points, and then practice for a while, and then you can master new skills.
For example, someone who is "proficient in cooking" can probably be transferred to a "pastry chef" or something like that, which is probably what it means.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to change jobs. This thing can also be taken as a proficiency-increasing pill, but the price/performance ratio shouldn't be high.
What Han Zhou cares most about is the fifth item, "Interesting upper, middle and lower lots". The effect can only be seen after drawing the lot, which is quite rare.
All in all, no matter what the reason is, the quality of this month's products is still quite good, and they are basically worth buying. Han Zhou originally planned to draw lots now, but the bus suddenly stopped. It seemed that there was something wrong. .
"What's wrong, master?"
"Why did you stop suddenly?"
The passengers were obviously a little confused. We haven't reached our destination yet, and we didn't see anyone getting on the bus. Why did we stop?
The driver smiled bitterly: "See for yourselves."
Han Zhou stuck his head out of the car window and took a curious look outside. He found that there were many vehicles parked in front of him and the road seemed to be blocked.
Other passengers also noticed this and wondered: "I have walked this road many times. I don't see many cars on weekdays. Why is there suddenly a traffic jam today?"
"Maybe it's because of the sea banquet." Someone said casually.
An elderly man shook his head: "Hai Banquet is not a festival, and even the people in Linhai Town don't pay much attention to it. If there is a traffic jam, something must have happened."
While everyone was guessing, the driver had already got out of the car to inquire about the situation. He returned to the car not long after and said, "I heard that a tree broke down in front and blocked the road. It can be removed immediately. It won't take long." .”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike Han Zhou and his party, most of the other passengers were running for a living. Some of them rushed to the construction site with tools. Time was precious and they could not afford to be delayed.
The old man just said with emotion: "The public security is better now. A few years ago, no one would have dared to be so relaxed when the car stopped."
When the car stopped, Lin Anyu happened to fall into Bai Tongtong's arms. Even though he had apologized several times and the other party smiled and said he didn't care, he was still extremely embarrassed. When he saw this situation, he quickly became a compliment to relieve the pain. Awkward.
"Uncle, what do you say?"
