Chapter 268 Weird
Just deliver the takeout. After all, he has had the experience of starting as a prisoner once, so this kind of start seems very good to Lu Bai. At least he has a rental house like this to serve as a place to stay.

Lu Bai looked down at the time on his phone. It was a little after ten o'clock in the evening.

I just arrived at this death arena, and I'm pretty energetic.

He thought about it and decided to go outside to see the situation.

Lu Bai picked up the key hanging on the wall and pushed the door open while wearing his shoes.

As expected, the rental house he lived in was indeed a converted basement, and to reach the ground level, one had to climb up several steps.

Based on what he had learned so far, this deathmatch arena should also be set in a modern world, a little more advanced than the previous underworld world, and even have apps for food delivery and taxi-hailing.

But what is a little strange is that in modern cities, 10 o'clock in the evening should not be considered late at night.

But the neighborhood where Lu Bai lives has fallen into silence.

Looking back, I saw that only one or two households in the building still had their lights on.

He pressed the electric bike unlock button on the keychain, and after two beeps, he quickly found his electric bike.

After riding my electric scooter around the community twice, it seemed that some residents in the building had started looking over.

"You have such a strong sense of safety awareness." Lu Bai grabbed the handlebars with both hands and blinked.

Instead of continuing to drive around the neighborhood, he turned the accelerator and drove straight along the road.

I have to say, it was eerily quiet along the way.

At first he thought it was because the place he lived was too remote and there were few cars.

But after he rode his electric scooter for five or six kilometers, it was still deathly silent and the number of cars he saw along the way could be counted on one hand.

You know, it’s only a little after ten o’clock.

In a big city like this, let alone ten o'clock, even at four o'clock in the morning, the traffic should not be so ridiculously small.

He accidentally passed by a police station next to a park. When the police officer on duty at the sentry post saw him, he immediately widened his eyes in shock. If you look closely, you will notice that the police officer even shrank his neck unconsciously.

"What's going on with this death arena?"

Lu Bai frowned.

He rode for a while and noticed that the battery of his electric scooter was less than half left, so he decided to turn around and return the same way.

When he passed the police station again, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

That subtle sense of unnaturalness, as if something was watching me.

Lu Bai slowed down the car and looked in the direction that made him uncomfortable.

This indescribable gaze seemed to come from the park opposite the police station.

The vegetation in the park is indeed dense, but it is not completely dark. Under the illumination of a few street lamps, the visibility is actually quite high.

Lu Bai hesitated for a moment, parked his electric scooter on the side of the road, and walked into the depths of the park.

It was not even eleven o'clock yet, but the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed like a silent world.

Lu Bai quickly realized the problem. This park... had no sounds of insects or birds.

He took a deep breath, and relying on the several abilities at hand, he mustered up the courage to move forward.

As he moved forward, the strange feeling of being stared at became more intense.

If I have to find something to describe it, it is like an ordinary person walking into the African savannah unprepared, always feeling that some wild beast will suddenly jump out and take his life in the next second.

Tuk~tuk~tuk~
Suddenly,

Lu Bai heard a noise coming from far away.

The rhythm of the sound is not very regular. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the existence that creates this noise is gradually approaching him.

Lu Bai stopped silently, waiting for the other party to appear. Getting closer!

Rustle~
There was a slight shaking in the dense forest beside the road.

Lu Bai held his breath and prepared himself to take action at any time.

However, the next second.

A white-haired old man squeezed out of the dense forest with a cane.

The old man's gray beard was more than ten centimeters long, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he looked a little presbyopic.

He looked around with his cane and finally focused his attention on Lu Bai.

"Hey, you, young man, why are you here alone?"

The old man was quite friendly and asked Lu Bai in confusion.

Lu Bai relaxed his vigilance a little, and a kind smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "I couldn't sleep at home at night, how about you, old man? Why are you here alone?"

“Hehe, I’m old.”

The old man sat down on a public bench on the side of the road with his cane, raised his hand and tapped his knees twice.

Then he looked at the night sky and sighed: "The older I get, the more I regret. I have lost many people over the years..."

To others, this scene was filled with a sense of melancholy about old age.

Lu Bai was about to comfort her by saying that diseases like Alzheimer's can be treated or alleviated.

Before he could organize his words, the old man continued: "...Maybe being a tour guide is not a good idea."

Lu Bai: “…”

A blood-red pennant appeared out of thin air in the old man's hand. He smiled amiably and said, "Since you are here, come with me. I will show you around the park."

"I reject."

Lu Bai shook his head.

It would be strange if he didn't realize that there was something wrong with the old man.

"Don't resist, young man."

The old man stood up from the public seat with a cane.

Lu Bai's eyes gradually narrowed: "I hate it most when tour guides force sales in scenic spots."

……

In the police station outside the park.

After secretly smoking a cigarette, the police officer on duty at the sentry post was panicked when he found an electric bike parked outside the park.

He quickly shouted through the intercom: "Report... Report, it seems that a citizen has mistakenly entered the park."

Zizzi~
There was a burst of noise from the intercom, followed by the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Don't be like that. Have you confirmed that a citizen has mistakenly entered? Haven't we issued a notice to all nearby citizens?"

The police officer on duty responded somewhat awkwardly, and was too embarrassed to say that he was just slacking off.

"should……"

He was halfway through his words when he noticed the style of the electric donkey and suddenly remembered that he had seen someone riding one passing by here before. He quickly added, "Yes, I am sure something has mistakenly entered the park, but I am not sure if it is a new weird thing."

"How long have you been in there? Why didn't you report in advance?"

After hearing the explanation of the police officer on duty, the middle-aged man on the other end of the intercom said with suppressed anger: "Don't you know how dangerous the elderly tour guide of Sequence 183 is? You really are... Never mind, you continue to stay at your post, I will bring people over right away."
