My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

Shen Qingyan walked quickly downstairs, memorizing every item she passed in her haste. When she arrived at the hotel lobby, the queue and faces were different from yesterday.

He walked out as quickly and quietly as possible, and by the time he reached the hotel entrance, the girl wearing the red veil was just a red dot.

Unable to make a sound during the day, the only thing Shen Qingyan could do was walk more steadily and faster.

Fortunately, the girl wearing a red veil was walking at a steady, slow pace. In less than ten minutes, Shen Qingyan caught up with her and followed her at a leisurely pace, gradually moving closer to her side and walking alongside her.

Shen Qingyan looked at her, but the girl didn't seem to notice him. She just smiled and walked forward, gradually speeding up and humming a song softly.

And Shen Qingyan actually heard her singing!

The entire city is dynamic, it's just been muted, so how come her voice can...?

The girl in front of me quickly ran to the kiosk stall at the entrance of the residential area, bent over, and selected magazines. Such kiosks still exist on some streets; they are thin and usually sell various drinks, physical books, or some miscellaneous goods.

The owner of the kiosk was a chubby old man. He opened and closed his mouth, saying something, but like everyone else, no sound could be heard.

[Xiaoxiao, your favorite "Teenagers" and "Spark" magazines both have new issues today. I heard you're getting married, congratulations!]

Shen Qingyan looked at the old man's lips and began to automatically recite the lyrics in her mind.

Her smile widened, and she quickly picked up the books she wanted, then rummaged through the pile of books to see if there were any that interested her.

"Thank you. The wedding is in a few days. It will be held at the Hongyun Restaurant, which is only 600 meters away. If you have time, you are welcome to come and have a meal with us. As long as you sincerely wish us well, you are all welcome."

Xiaoxiao's voice was clear as she answered the old man's question.

Shen Qingyan was taken aback; his lip reading was correct!

He can even read lips!

He immediately looked at the old man again, and the old man's lips moved again: "Alright, alright, I've watched you grow up, of course I sincerely wish you well. I promise I'll come, Grandpa Zhou will protect you and be your security guard at your wedding."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou. I'll take these books. How much?" Xiaoxiao stepped forward politely. Shen Qingyan continued to stare at the two of them. Suddenly, Xiaoxiao turned around.

The gaze was fixed on him, as if looking through him to see somewhere else.

Soon, Xiaoxiao paid and walked into the residential area. Shen Qingyan immediately followed, but the fat old man looked up and blocked his way, silently saying, "Young man, is there anything you need? Are you renting in this complex? You look unfamiliar."

Shen Qingyan waved his hand and pointed to his mouth to indicate that he couldn't speak. The old man casually picked up a newspaper and stuffed it into Shen Qingyan's hand: "Here, take this. Young man, you have a long road ahead of you, walk well."

After saying that, the old man sat back down in his rocking chair, swaying back and forth leisurely, as if he could no longer see Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan looked at the residential area ahead again, but the girl wearing the red veil had disappeared without a trace.

He was about to go inside when he found that he couldn't get in no matter what he did... Shen Qingyan immediately stepped back and stood under the big tree next to the street vendor's kiosk. He picked up the newspaper and started reading.

The newspaper was divided into two large sheets, eight pages in total. I don't know if it was because of the copy or because of poor printing, but the text on both sides of the first sheet was quite blurry, similar to the effect of looking at a light source under astigmatism at 800 degrees.

The second large newspaper had clear print, but some small parts were missing... It looked like a new newspaper just now, but now it had become old.

Now that the handwriting was legible, Shen Qingyan began to read it carefully. This girl was unusual, and this old man was strange too. Perhaps... there was more to this newspaper than met the eye.

Shen Qingyan browsed through the information from top to bottom and left to right, reading it word by word, from people's livelihood to national conditions, from policy changes to missing person notices.

After reading the entire thing, I found nothing unusual; it was just an ordinary thing in this world.

Shen Qingyan looked at it a second time, stopping at the incomplete part. Was it a notice, or a wedding notice, announcing the marriage of Ms. Chen Xiao and Mr. Zhang Kang and the wedding invitation?

He wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of newspaper advertisement, but something always felt off.

Continuing to look at the damaged area on the back, it not only has damage but also liquid erosion. Only words such as "gang fight," "mutual slaughter," "custom," "biological," and "morgue" can be vaguely seen.

Shen Qingyan folded the newspaper, and his phone in his pocket started vibrating again. He took it out and looked at the player group again. The same few people in the group were asking if there were any new clues.

The group leader's name field shows 9 members in the group.

Just as he was about to close the group chat, a person named Jiang Bo posted a photo of himself standing under a tree, his back to the camera: "New player, we've spotted you!"

What are you looking at over there? Is it a new clue? We're both aiming for the same goal, so how about we share information for now?

Shen Qingyan turned around and searched everywhere, but found no living players.

Immediately, the group chat became lively.

[Newspaper? I've been here for days and haven't gotten any of these information fragments. New player, I also have some news and clues that I can exchange with you.]

Don't believe her, she's a scammer. She dragged several players down with her. Switch with me, our information is guaranteed to be genuine. Sharing information isn't the problem; organizing and analyzing information is the key to winning the finals.

I agree; message sharing only speeds up the process of escaping the instance.

[New player, we're waiting for you in your hotel lobby. Come back soon!]

……

It seemed like a discussion, but in reality, it didn't give him a chance to refuse. Shen Qingyan didn't reply immediately; he just clicked on each person's profile picture, personal information, and signature to take a look.

After reading it, Shen Qingyan replied: 【Okay, see you tonight.】

[Okay, I'll go out and look for other clues too. Friendly reminder: Bus stop 119 in the south of the city is the southern terminus of this city; you can't go any further after that.]

I've been to the north side, but I always ended up going in circles and ending up back there. I haven't had a chance to see the east and west sides yet.

I'm tired. I'm going back to the hotel to get some sleep. It's room 4613. Please let me know when you need to get some rest. Thank you.

……

Shen Qingyan turned off his phone and walked around the neighborhood. He then walked back along the path the girl had taken earlier. This route usually only takes about ten minutes, but this time, it took him until almost dark before he saw the Hongyun Grand Hotel, which should have been there much earlier... the hotel where he had stayed the night before.
