Chapter 10 The Clothing Store in the Town
Chapter 10 The Clothing Store in the Town
sick world,
Various existences beyond common sense and developable capabilities,
And the mysterious organization that is about to go,
The endless unknown is waiting to be explored,
Because Yi Chen was too excited, he only slept for four hours last night... Perhaps because of the 'pathological trait', not only was he not sleepy, but his mental appearance was also in an excellent state.
The moment he stepped out of the gate of the cemetery,
I thought it would usher in fresh air, warm sunshine, and all kinds of townspeople full of vitality.
however,
The street view is not much better than the cemetery,
There is a strong smell mixed with the wind blowing on the face, which is the smell of crude oil, industrial waste liquid, metal and various by-products, and one can almost taste the taste of them.
Across rows of low, pointed town buildings, you can see several thick chimneys that are emitting exhaust gas.
The sun was not as bright as expected,
The sky seemed to be covered with several layers of high-quality fabrics, and only the sparse light fell on the ground, which was not even enough to dispel the dark dust left over from last night.
As far as the eye can see, the number of townspeople does not exceed the number of fingers.
They seem unwilling to expose their bodies to the air, and use large pieces of cloth to cover their whole bodies,
He even wore a simple homemade mask on his face, bent his body, and tried to breathe the air as close to the ground as possible.
The whole town is weird and cold,
Even mixed with a trace of despair,
"This world... is worse than I imagined."
At this moment, a cheerful rubbing sound came from the shoulders,
The furry black meat ball seems to have just woken up,
Opening his mouth wide, revealing the black and white eyeballs in it, rubbing against each other... as if stretching his waist.
Two slender black hands danced back and forth like waves.
"It's great to finally get out of this damn cemetery!
Before we start our adventure, let's get something to eat... I haven't eaten in a long time. "
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Grapes, lots of grapes..."
When the black meat ball said the word grape, it pointed to its own eyes at the same time, and Yi Chen naturally understood the true meaning of "grape" in its mouth.
I didn't think there was anything wrong,
Thinking of the world before his death, many people also like to eat food such as fish eyes and roasted pig eyes.
"Okay, but I have to go to the clothing store first."
current,
Yi Chen was only wearing a sloppy and torn shirt,
There are still holes through the sleeves, and there are scratches on the waist and trouser legs.
Paired with [William Behrens], this body that hasn't showered or washed for several days, even if it is placed in the homeless room, it is the bottom.
Walking in the relatively spacious streets of the town,
Since no one has cleaned it for a long time, the cracks in the ground are full of melon seed shells, dirty water and rotting insect corpses.
The flow of people has decreased year by year, and a large number of shops have long been closed.
The remaining shops are barely maintained and may close down at any time.
Such a scene made Yi Chen wonder, would there really be a decent clothing store?
When in doubt,
At the corner of the street, a house with a structure completely different from the surrounding houses broke into the field of vision.
With black as the main tone and a strong Gothic style, it is tall and thin.
Someone seems to be quietly peeping out of the long windows.
The whole gives people a delicate and gloomy feeling, like aristocratic buildings that only exist in big cities, which is incompatible with this dilapidated town.
The copper framed plaque at the door reads - [Maurice & Sad (Morris and Sadness)]
With the visual enhancement given by the small meat ball, the high-end clothing can be seen through the window.
"This should be what Mr. Wilbert said, the most high-end clothing store in the town.
In other words, this kind of clothing store costs a lot of money for daily expenses, and the income of the townspeople should be difficult to spend in this kind of store.
Why do such stores exist? "
with doubts,
Yi Chen crossed the dirty street and pushed open the front door of the clothing store under the watchful eyes of masked residents.
Bell~
The silver bell connected to the door frame rang at the same time.
The light fragrance quickly surrounds the senses of the nose, drowning out the industrial smell remaining in the nasal cavity.
This kind of smell instantly filtered Yi Chen out of the dilapidated town and led him into this elegant and quiet clothing store.
A variety of lanterns are distributed in various areas of the store
above the wardrobe,
side wall corner,
Or displayed on a stand alone as an ornament,
The lights are intertwined, conveying the panorama of the clothing store to customers, while giving warmth and safety.
A lady wearing a flower-embellished top hat, with tulle covering her face, and a long skirt on the floor came out from the inner room.
The firelight can depict a beautiful face like a painting through the tulle.
Yi Chen originally thought that his boss would look down on him with such a shabby appearance, and even be kicked out.
however,
The woman stopped in front of him,
Sniff gently through the tulle,
Plundering the scent of the cemetery that belongs to Yi Chen alone,
"It's really rare. It's been a long time since a living person has been able to leave the cemetery... Wilbert asked you to come, right?"
"yes.
Mr. Wilbert asked me to come here and buy a dress that fitted me before I rode in the carriage. "
Yi Chen immediately took out the metal business card from his trouser pocket.
"Do you need to leave in a hurry today?"
"Yes."
"In this case, I can only choose [ready-made clothing]... Wait until you pass the organization's review, and then go to the tailor shop over there for [full customization]."
When the proprietress mentioned the word 'organization', she and the clothing store should be related to the organization, and the economic support behind it makes sense.
"I don't know if the money on me is enough?"
Yi Chen took out all his belongings from working in the cemetery - silver coins stuffed into small pockets.
however,
The proprietress doesn't look at these odd coins at all,
Instead, he squeezed Yi Chen's wrist, and the sharp nails almost pierced the skin.
With such a simple touch,
The proprietress not only completed the measurement of the body size, but also read some internal information.
"No wonder you walked out of the cemetery alive, and got Wilbert's business card and products from the cemetery. It turns out that you took the initiative to accept [disease], which is quite interesting."
The proprietress' words were retracted along with the palm of her hand,
By the way, nearly half of the silver coins in the cloth bag were taken away.
"I just happen to have a ready-to-wear suit here that fits your size.
However, before fitting, you must 'purify' your body to wash away the dust of the dead brought out from the cemetery. "
Led by the proprietress, he came to the bathroom in the clothing store.
After cleaning,
The proprietress personally shaves and cuts her hair,
After finishing the modification of appearance, Yi Chen was finally able to see his own appearance in the vanity mirror.
Under the finely trimmed black hair, the facial features are not much different from the original self.It can even be said that some western features have been added to the original appearance.
Such as a higher nose bridge, and deep eye sockets.
Looking closely, it actually resembles Keanu Reeves when he was young... Although the details are a bit lacking, the overall is still very good.
"I really have a lot of similarities with the original owner of this body, maybe it's all related to time travel." 』
Next is the fitting clothes.
white shirt,
A small vest with dark green stripes,
Black trousers with a certain degree of elasticity,
And a black windbreaker that is similar to the work clothes in the cemetery, which can wrap the whole body and cover the face... It gives people a sense of gloom.
Lace up your black Oxfords,
A black tie is tied by the proprietress herself,
When seeing the brand new image in the mirror, Yi Chen's spirit was lifted.
