Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 615 [Swamp Town] 2

As he was speaking, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, breaking through the fog and rain. Even sitting in the car, everyone could feel that the entire car was illuminated by the lightning for a moment.

"What a huge lightning!" Offley frowned. Rainy and lightning, and they were sitting in a metal car, with a forest nearby and rain everywhere. The danger involved was self-evident. "Ethan, how long will it take to get to town? This road is much more dangerous than I thought."

She didn't want to not only not get the inheritance but also lose her life here.

"Don't worry." Ethan was used to rainy days and lightning, and was much more relaxed than the jumpy young people. "These lightning bolts only look scary, but they're actually nothing. Even if you get hit, you'll be fine. You'll just be unconscious for a while and you'll be fine. Every year, a few unlucky people get struck by lightning in our town, but no one has ever been killed by it!"

"Really?" Feng Lan said in surprise, placing a hand on Ben Xinxin's shoulder and not letting go. She suspected someone had attacked her. There were only 15 people in the dungeon, but 15 more had come in! The extra number might be because other people had hired bodyguards, or because a rival had sent someone in. "It's said that lightning can completely decompose and vaporize human tissue the moment it touches the human body. Few people can survive lightning."

After hearing Feng Lan's words, Leah seemed to be thinking about something.

"Hmph," Offley laughed, twirling her hair. "Who knows if she was really struck by lightning or just pretending."

After all, men are liars.

"Uh..." Ethan was not very satisfied with Offley's words, but Offley was a beautiful mature woman. Arrogance and contempt turned into a different kind of charm on her. When Offley looked at him, it was difficult for Ethan to vent his anger. At least it was their first meeting, and he didn't want to have a conflict with such a beautiful lady. He sneered and changed the subject to himself.

"The town... yeah, let's talk about our town. Our town has existed for over a hundred years. It's been like this since I was a kid. Old Marsh was very young back then, tall and strong. We all said that if he had joined the army, he might have become a general!"

Ethan sighed as the fog in front of him slowly dissipated and the rain eased. He stepped on the accelerator and sped up. "It's getting dark, and it's not very safe to be in the woods. Luckily, you are the last of Old Marsh's family. Oh, I never thought he had so many... uh, relatives. Of course, this is not a bad thing, it's just..." Ethan thought for a moment, shrugged, and found a word, "It's amazing."

"There are two cars packed with people in the front. Oh, God, the last time this old chariot of mine carried so many people was when we went out for Christmas shopping! It was so lively back then. Old Marsh also went out for a trip. Oh, I remember, it seems that was the time when he hired a lawyer..."

"Ethan, let's talk about something interesting." Offley wasn't interested in these old topics reminiscing about the past. "Let's talk about old Marsh's inheritance. Did he really have $200,000?"

It's not that Offley doesn't believe it. An old guy who lives in a place even more rural than the countryside, with no job and no skills, can save up $200,000 in such a place?

Ethan was not angry at Offley's contemptuous and suspicious attitude, but was very interested. Obviously, not only these strange "relatives" who came from afar for the money were curious, but the townspeople were also curious.

"Of course, of course, everyone is curious about this..." Ethan stretched out his words, satisfied to find that Offley's beautiful eyes were focused on him, listening intently. He felt a hint of pleasure and pride at this. "Of course it can be true. There are people from the city who came to town to set up a fund for Old Marsh, and there are lawyers, those big lawyers in the city. Without real money, you can't hire these sharks."

Ethan muttered a few words and continued to talk. This was also a way for him to refresh himself. Although there was only one road leading to the town, the terrain was complicated. If he didn't concentrate, it was easy to drive into the woods or crash into a tree. This required a little skill.

Feng Lan was also remembering this road, and the situation of this road was constructed in her memory palace. It turned out that the one who came in this time was not her real body but a clone that she had created and refined.

Except for the beginning, she did not speak again, but stayed silently beside Ben Xinxin, listening to Ethan's chatter, collecting information from his words, and observing Leah and Offley at the same time.

Leah is a very tall white man with short reddish-brown hair and many freckles on his face. Feng Lan is not sure if it is a copy or he looks like this, because her and Wen Xin's appearance has also changed a little now, but it is more Western-style on the basis of the original, so it does not look abrupt.

He looked thin, with no muscles on his arms. His eyes, which should have been clear, were always moving around with ill intentions, gloomy and sad. Putting aside other information, Feng Lan glanced at his rough and worn shoulders, the calluses on his fingers, the whitened trouser legs and the shoes he often wore, and judged that this person was also attracted by money.

As for Offlie, Feng Lan looked at her from the details.

She has the habit of wearing makeup. Her hair is dyed blonde, and the roots are faded, but her hair quality is very good. She has a novel manicure on her nails. The perfume she wears is also the type with a complex smell and may be relatively expensive. Her face is well maintained and her hands are very delicate, but her bone age is over 30 years old. Feng Lan guessed that she must have lived a relatively comfortable and affluent life before. She may have been a lover or had a similar job. Recently, she had no money to stop paying or lost her source of money for other reasons. In the car, she had mentioned 200,000 twice.

She cared a lot about money. Even though she felt disgusted with men like Ethan, she held back her answer. Feng Lan keenly observed that she was familiar with men and valued money. There was an 80% chance that such a woman who cared only about money and had complex social experiences was an NPC. If she was played by a player—

Feng Lan sighed silently in his heart. Either this player had a special hobby or talent skill limitation in acting, or this player was very weak in terms of combat power. He was an intelligent player who was more accustomed to acting in the dark and acting as the mastermind.

Ben Xin's breathing changed for a moment. Feng Lan patted her shoulder calmly. "The rain seems to have eased, and I think the fog has cleared. It's been almost an hour and a half since we got on the bus. We should be almost in town. Are there any hotels or guesthouses in town? My sister needs to rest."

"Almost there, we can see the town now," Ethan glanced at Ben Xinxin who was still asleep. "But with so many of you here, accommodation is indeed a problem. There haven't been any strangers in town for a long time, and the guesthouse was built decades ago. It can only accommodate ten people at most... Um, Eleanor, I remember she just moved into town recently too!"

"Oh, she took over the old Bott's house and renovated it. It should be able to accommodate several people."
