"...I'm so exhausted."
In the sky city of the free world, on the surface of the deserted core area, a magician who was hiding among the metal remains of countless mechanical monsters also broke free from this wasteland-like scene, slapping his hands and standing.
On the desert Gobi Desert full of yellow sand: "The seventh eternal core... these should be enough."
"I didn't expect that the errands came one after another... Forget it, for a gray profession that lives in the cracks, there is really nothing to complain about." Wiping his nose, the magician collected one behind him.
He picked up the package and said, "If I have a chance, I will definitely ask that lovely group leader to award me a 'Best Contribution Award', and it will be an unknown one... Hey, you two."
"I've covered this place. If you're looking for materials, go over there." The bag on his back made a clanging sound of metal behind him. The magician player pointed at the two figures approaching at the end of his field of vision and warned loudly:
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. It hurts a lot when I hit someone."
"Mr. Meng Yunjie, right?"
The high-altitude strong wind filtered into yellow sand that blocked the sky in this wilderness, and the two players who looked like people walking towards them also loomed in the blurred light and shadow: "Hello, we are the prosecutors of the alliance."
"Please call me Yumeng, thank you."
It seems that he is used to seeing a big shot like the prosecutor standing in front of him. Yunmeng, who was dragging his cloth bag, gave an indifferent answer that seemed extremely casual: "What are you doing here? Did you come to say hello to me specially?"
"Because of our responsibilities, we will not appear in this world easily. Since we appear here, there must be a reason to appear here." One of the black figures hidden under the yellow sand replied in a low voice: "
You are a regular on the wanted list, so you should know this."
"Of course I know, that's why I'm asking." Yuemeng, who was carrying a backpack, spread his hands sideways: "This is a free world. I have no stain or crime. I have always been very honest. Why did I suddenly find my head?
Up?"
"We suspect that you are related to a major case, or at least one of the suspects." Another black figure said in a hoarse voice like yellow sand: "Please provide your detailed address, and then come with us.
Bar."
"Detailed address? Ridiculous."
Yangtian let out a sneer, and Yunmeng kicked a metal fragment of a mechanical beast beside him into the yellow sand: "Don't think that the tricks you usually use to scare people will work on me.
I've seen a lot of tricks, compared to that scary guy Yinzhu, you guys look like little kittens now."
"Don't be like a white wolf with nothing to show for it."
A ray of light from the depths of the dim yellow sand then quickly struck towards Yun Meng, and then was rejected by a bright magic rune after he withdrew. He waved his hand and made a chic gesture to deal with it.
A strange smile appeared on his face, with his hair spread between his fingers: "What's a 'major case' and a suspect? Do you dare to tell me what the specific case is?"
"We don't need to tell you." The two vague figures did not move, but stood quietly looking at each other: "If you want to know, you can cooperate with us offline."
"Impossible, this is personal privacy." Yuemeng shook her head, put away her smile and pointed at the other person's face: "I am also a person who has seen the world, and I only know one thing: I can only tell you.
It’s all over.”
"..."
"If you have nothing to do, please come back. I'm still busy collecting garbage." Looking at the other party who was still standing behind the yellow sand and never leaving, Yunmeng turned around and started to send the guests away nonchalantly: "In order to generate income,
I even let go of our captain's pigeons. If I don't rush back as soon as possible, I won't be able to clean myself up even if I jump into the Yellow River."
"Okay." Finally breaking the silence between each other, two figures of players in black finally spoke: "But I still hope-"
"Mr. Meng can think about it carefully."
The whistling of the yellow sand occupied all the silence that followed, and the sudden wild sound of the wind seemed to make the vision blocked at this moment even stronger. Yunmeng, who had been standing motionless, then turned around and looked at the empty space.
No one on the opposite side snorted coldly: "Mr. Meng... hum."
"It seems that he came back and wanted to force me to take sides." Pouting his lips, the magician then shook his head and tightened the package behind his back: "Fortunately, I hid after the game, and I gained a little more strength.
'suspect', otherwise the attitude of the two of them just now might not be that simple... Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Now that I have expressed my position here, should I also go to the other side and show my face?" The steps he was about to take stopped in mid-air. Yunmeng lowered his head and looked thoughtful: "It seems that I have been away for too long.
It’s not good either, I’m probably going to be classified as a missing person now… but it seems very difficult to find a suitable reason.”
"Forget it, let's go back first." He looked around for a while at the wilderness where the yellow sand was still blowing, and finally shook his head and cast a purple energy rune: "I hope I was hiding in the
The spatial anchor in the hotel has not expired yet."
"Walk!"
The purple runes turned into stretched lines in the broken scene, and the volatile magic energy quickly surrounded the magician. The disappearing flash also appeared at the foot of the Sky City along with the changes in time and space.
In Tania City, the few people who were talking in low voices there were so frightened that they all closed their mouths: "——Who can I rely on you?"
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! It's me!" Raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, Yunmeng stopped the weapons on his body at the tip of his nose: "Captain, it's me!"
"It's your boy!" The original look of disappointment was replaced by rage. Mengzhu jumped up and punched the sweaty Yunmeng to the ground: "You boy, you dare to come back? Tell me! Are you going again?
Have you done those shameful things?"
"How, how is this possible? I just, I just...that...you may not believe it when I tell you, but I discovered another big secret in the core area of Sky City." He stood up covering his bruised nose and face, still holding his head high.
Yunmeng who started this was like an aggrieved child who was being bullied: "The core area has not been taken care of at all after the battle in the past two days. The administrator Ayina seems to have no intention of cleaning up. She even issued a commission,
As long as you can collect enough mechanical cores, you can exchange them for precious treasures and materials from her... What's wrong with you?"
"Anyway, I died while being carried by you. I don't know whether what you said is true or false."
Squinting his eyes to examine Yun Meng's pitiful expression, Xiao Hongchen, who was squatting in the corner of the room, took the lead in breaking the suffocating atmosphere between them: "But according to the previous battle reports and the descriptions of other participating teams, you should be
It also appears in the final 'safe zone', which is the final battlefield in the core area."
"You also formed a mixed team with others, right?" Black Corn on the other side also had a gloomy expression: "What was the process in between? What kind of deal did you negotiate secretly? We won't pursue it for now.
, but one thing is the strangest.”
"Why weren't you teleported out?"
Several people in front or behind, higher or lower, shrouded Yu Meng who was forced into the corner of the room, and the tone of the interrogation also became gloomy: "Including the Sky-Breaking Blade, everyone was
Ayina was sent flying outside the city, and then that wonderful ace air battle broke out... How did you escape from that teleportation?"
"Well, this is not a problem." Yunmeng smiled and raised his hand: "Because, because I have some research on space teleportation magic. Although it is a bit partial to disorderly teleportation, it interferes with
I have quite a lot of experience with the runes that make teleportation magic effective, hahahaha."
"Don't try to muddle through."
Mengzhu, who interrupted the other party's dry laughter and finally came forward, stared at the other party: "Then why didn't you come back for so long? And didn't show up elsewhere? Even if you were busy with something else
Can you at least let us know that things are safe through offline means?"
"This, this..."
"You want to hide your whereabouts."
Without giving the other party more time to think, Mengzhu stepped forward and gave the answer instead: "I sneaked into the battlefield in the core area, but in the end I disappeared. I only showed up three days later, and I am so angry with myself.
Not a word was mentioned about the disappearance for several days - you were doing something shady, right?"
"Everyone has a little secret of their own." Unable to look directly into the other person's eyes, Yun Meng turned her head to the side: "As for offline...because I also have a little difficulty, so I send messages offline.
Maybe it’s not easy to handle, it’s really——”
"What's your explanation for the Spartak incident?"
Impatiently interrupting the other party again, Mengzhu asked word by word: "Did you do it?"
"Ah? What happened to Spartacus?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Mengzhu shouted loudly: "Don't think that I am still the innocent me I used to be. I have seen you pretending to be stupid a lot! Spartak has never shown his face since that night.
!Is it your fault?"
"Never showed up again?" Yunmeng asked in surprise: "What do you mean? Where did he go?"
"To be precise, it has never been online again."
Stopping Mengzhu who was still getting angry, Black Corn turned around and whispered: "I was fortunate enough to add that person as a virtual friend a long time ago. According to my offline friend information,
, the once most powerful mercenary in the Dark World has never used the game cabin since that day."
"We thought it was just an accident. After all, no one in the real world has time to help." Xiao Hongchen on the other side then added: "But then someone found a statement online, and the signature in the statement was Spartan
Ke himself claimed that he had decided to completely withdraw from all the events he had just participated in due to various practical reasons."
"He is not the kind of person who quits easily for no reason, so something must have happened." Mengzhu, with his fists clenched, stared at Yunmeng's face quietly: "You should be familiar with that person, right? I remember
You two have talked about this before."
"..."
Without responding to Mengzhu's words, Yunmeng just sat there with an ugly expression: "...That's it."
"Do you know anything?" Mengzhu asked hurriedly: "Say it quickly!"
"..."
"Stop pretending to be stupid! Speak quickly!" Mengzhu couldn't help but grabbed Yun Meng's collar, and shook the slightly dull and silent magician up and down: "Thank you for trusting you so much! I'm sorry that I still trust you so much!"
I trust you so much! You! And the people behind you—"
"What's the difference between what you did a year ago?"
***************************************
"The contestants suddenly disappeared for no reason and were unable to participate in the competition - it is indeed very similar to the previous one."
His palms kept changing back and forth between open and clenched. Duan Qing, who had arrived at the center of the Void Library, slowly put down the page that he had been staring at in front of him: "Maybe they think this method is not obvious enough.
So I made a decent statement. After all, ours is a pheasant tournament and there are not as many rules as the official UEFA Cup."
"That's right, if we keep shamelessly admitting Spartak's qualification, others will have nothing to object to." Xiuyu Liushang, who didn't know when he appeared here, raised his chin and smiled: "As an organization of the competition,
As a challenger and one of the last champions, we can retain the qualifications of this outstanding challenger until he is sure that he can participate in the competition, right?"
"This is not a long-term solution." Duan Qing shook his head and was silent for a moment, then asked: "How is this situation?"
"Not much, but the situation is very tense now." Xu Yu Liushang pointed to several other places on the list: "The symbolic significance of this situation is greater than its practical significance: if the alliance and several families behind them really plan to use this kind of
It is difficult for us to counterattack head-on when using shady means to interfere with players’ appearance and thereby interfere with the game.”
"Tear it down from the root, right?" Duan Qing sneered: "And you still picked someone like Spartak to attack... You are really ruthless."
"Others should have received similar warnings." Ningyu Ninglan, who was standing aside with her hands folded, also whispered: "I finally plan to break up."
"Now that the war has started, there is no point in continuing the game." Jian Beidong, who also came here, said with an unhappy face: "Why don't we take revenge more directly - take away their nest?
How about it?"
"I know with my butt that you only know this trick." Duan Qing stared and rejected the proposal: "What you want is up to you, but the game must continue."
"Keeping the game going is the loudest way to fight back."
