0175 Chapter 4 The End of the Ordinary (Section 46)
"The reward is doubled, but you need to find a way to the lowest level within ten minutes." The silence behind him made Zhen Cheng raise the corners of his mouth and throw out a candy at the right time:
"Since encountering the trap curse, we have been walking around the same floor for ten minutes. Navis, I know you are cautious by nature, but please stop being so cautious.
Otherwise, you may not become a stone statue buried in ancient ruins, but you will definitely become a decoration in Scarry, Severant, or even the base of the Oracle Order."
Of course, Zhen Cheng will not really let Navis go. She has important skills in ancient ruins exploration.
Although Miss Thirteen looks careless, in fact she has already made detailed plans in her heart for this "last chance".
In Zhen Cheng's plan, Cai Pixiu's transaction, the joining of the two black trench coats and the help of sister Ai Logansi are all indispensable and important conditions.
As for Fatty Shengbian, that was a complete surprise.
Although Zhen Cheng may not be able to handle the changes that will happen next without him, he stabilizes the equal front and buys time for Zhen Cheng not to go to the metropolis, allowing them to get in touch with a certain person at the ancient murals earlier.
A layout of "destiny", so you can seize the opportunity.
As for the last Navis, although she was the first one she considered as a support, her role in the original plan was just to replace Zhi Shi and ensure efficient logistics.
Navis's original ability was just to fill in her head. What Zhen Cheng valued was her experience and contacts accumulated from activities around the world, and most importantly, her clean identity that could be determined in this apocalyptic battle.
"Okay..." Navis sighed desperately: "But what about the curse on us? I know you are not the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice yourself to save the world, right?
If you can still be so calm now that things have come to this, you must have already thought of a way out?"
While examining the texture of the stone bricks on the four walls of the historic site, Zhen Cheng comforted him without looking back: "Of course there is a way out. As long as we can solve the problem here, we don't have to worry about self-protection after we get out."
"You don't think that because of your status, Scarry will take the initiative to help you solve your physical problems when everything settles, right?" Navis murmured nervously.
What she was worried about might not be the truth. Depending on the direction of the war, Scarry might save Zhen Cheng's life out of political considerations after the others returned to the ground.
But in that case Zhen Cheng would be safe, but other guys who were brave enough to sneak into the forbidden area of Scarry might not have that kind of luck.
Zhen Cheng shook his head: "This ancient curse, even if you go to Scarry, they may not be able to find a solution today.
There is even a small possibility that the inheritance of these ancient skills has been destroyed in the battle above. Have you forgotten the burning library?
My solution lies in someone else, and she will come to us."
"What? Have you prepared a backup plan in advance?" Navis was skeptical: "If the matter is as urgent as you said on the plane, except for a few of us, who else can you contact in just a few hours?
Come and intervene?"
"No, I'm talking about a mysterious and powerful existence. Do you still remember what you saw on the mural yesterday? Oh, I forgot, you probably can't see the details on the painting clearly.
In short, a certain being who has a deep connection with that mural is currently operating outside, and her goal should be [Antique Zero].
By the time we finish things here, she will most likely have rushed to the battlefield above. To her, the world war going on above is just playing house.
When the time comes, it should be a simple matter for us to ask her to help lift the curse. If we can find the [Antique Zero] taken away by Anbis in the process, we can even use that thing to trade with her on an equal footing."
The reason for Zhen Cheng's judgment is very simple. The image of the goddess in the [Original Image] is absolutely inseparable from Qu Yun. Therefore, the [Antique Zero] on the screen is also closely related to her.
Why would such a powerful person who could destroy the world by just singing a song be so interested in a mortal like her, and even give her three opportunities to "reincarnate"?
There can only be one answer, and that is the inseparable relationship between her and [Antique Zero].
In fact, Zhen Cheng couldn't figure it out during the first two "reincarnations" of this matter. But looking back now, most of the broken [Antiquities Zero] are in the Thetis Pharmaceutical Building, and a small part is most likely in God.
In the hands of an oracle or apostle.
All of these are closely related to her three experiences. In the "last" experience, she even succeeded in getting two-thirds of the [Antique Zero] in her hands.
Whether Qu Yun wants to seize Antiquities Zero, destroy it, or do something with it; whether she wants to watch her perform on a whim, is restricted from doing it herself, or is influenced by some force and has been unable to find what she is looking for;
The only thing that is certain is that she must be planning to use her own hands to touch [Antique Zero].
As for the bullshit identity of a "savior", what does it matter even if it is real? If Qu Yun really wants to save the world, why should she sing a song by herself? Why bother tossing her over and over again?
So after realizing what kind of curse he suffered, Zhen Cheng immediately thought of asking Qu Yun for help after dealing with the underground ruins.
No matter what happened, even if Qu Yun was unwilling to help her, she would have no other way out.
Zhen Cheng still vaguely remembers what the [Universal Store] once boasted about to her, such as a drug that would lead to immortality, a treasure that could destroy the world, and so on.
At first, she just listened to it as a commercial promotion, but now that she thinks about it, Cai Pixiu has promised a contract, no matter how outrageous it is, has she ever broken her promise?
The only thing she couldn't sell was the service of "ensuring Qu Yun arrived at the designated place at the designated time." Considering the miracles Qu Yun performed during the operation that day, Cai Pixiu's refusal only added some chips to her integrity.
.
Therefore, if the lively little miser is also the same mysterious existence as the transfer student, then it should be a great certainty to buy the method to lift the curse under the name of [Universal Store].
And compared to the white-haired transfer student who has yet to figure out his true temperament, this is a fool who can sell anything for money.
As he spoke, Zhen Cheng pointed to a slightly raised stone brick that you wouldn't notice unless you looked carefully: "Come and see, is this a trap or does it open a mechanism on the lower level?"
