The task of the dungeon was to find a prophet named "Eye" and ask about the disaster, but the local police station told them that there was no so-called prophet in Shigui City.
In other words, they are looking for someone who doesn't exist.
"Is there a possibility that the 'Eye' really exists, but the government departments in Shigui City don't know about it?" Bai Yang asked.
He did not doubt the authenticity of Gu Chi's words. There was no need to lie about things that could be learned with a little research.
"The possibility you mentioned is possible, but it is very small." Chu Tiankuo pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his index finger and analyzed: "The more backward the era of development, the more respected and sensitive it is to such supernatural things.
, if there really is a prophet living in the city who can understand the past and the future, his reputation should have spread throughout Shigui City long ago, and the police should not be able to hear any news."
People from the police station would not deliberately conceal and deceive Gu Chi, for the same reason that Gu Chi would not deceive them on this matter.
"Where did the 'eye' go?"
"I don't know. If it was so easy to find, this copy wouldn't be S-level." Chu Tiankuo said, "We don't have to worry. This is only the first day. There is still a lot of information waiting for us to discover. Take your time to find it.
There will always be a clue."
That's true, but how could it be slowed down?
No matter what the game is, players will always have a special kind of persistence and enthusiasm for the task.
Besides, what are people doing in the dungeon if they don’t do tasks?
They are here to clear customs, not on vacation.
So, after simply solving the problem of food and clothing, everyone divided into two groups and began to inquire about the news separately.
"Hello boss...ah, I don't want to buy anything, I just want to ask, do you know where the prophet is?"
“Hey, brother, brother, have you ever heard of a person named ‘Eye’?”
"Mother-in-law, do you know the prophet?"
"What do you know?"
"prophet."
"What first?"
"..."
Everyone got into the mood quickly and asked questions about people they saw along the way, as if the old lady at home was lost.
There are four people in Gu Chi's group - him, Lingmao, Mustard Tang, and Jiangniao.
All three newcomers are on his side.
Oh, he is also a newbie himself.
But, no one seems to regard him as a newcomer?
Of course Gu Chi would not explain.
He used his ability to hypnotize people in the police station, which also has this meaning.
Wearing the clothes of an old player, at least if there is a conflict later, Chu Tianhao and others will not dare to touch him easily.
The time to do the task passed quickly.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened.
The three bell cats are still actively asking passers-by or vendors for information.
Gu Chi did not join them, but followed slowly, observing the landmark buildings on each street, as if he were a foreign tourist, his eyes were his cameras, he would stop from time to time, and every time he blinked, he would
It's like pressing the shutter button once, freezing everything in the old era in front of you into an invisible photo and storing it in your mind.
Until a certain moment.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Lingmao stood up on tiptoes and patted Gu Chi's shoulder from behind.
"Nothing." Gu Chi looked away.
Lingmao pouted at him, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
After watching the scenery all night, she seriously suspected that Gu Chi was fishing!
But is there any way? Who has made someone a big boss and helped them solve their troubles?
I can only pamper him.
Seeing Lingmao pretending to be angry, Gu Chi said amusedly: "Have you found any useful information?"
"No." Speaking of this, Lingmao's pretty little face suddenly fell down, and his voice dragged out for a long time, "I asked many people, but none of them knew about the prophet, nor had they heard of it."
Eye'."
"Some people asked me, what is a prophet, what is its relationship with lychees, what does it taste like, and whether it tastes good or not. It's really..."
"Hey, I don't even know how to complain!"
While the two were talking, Jiangniao and Mustard Soup also came over.
Judging from their expressions like deflated rubber balls, you can tell that they should have gained nothing just like Bell Cat.
This is not a question of whether you are good or not. There is no skill in asking passers-by for information. If you haven't heard of it, you haven't heard of it. Chu Tiankuo and the others probably won't be able to find out anything.
At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered back at the starting point.
The hotel has closed, the streets are empty, no one is around, it's so quiet that you can hear the singing from the dance hall in the distance.
As Gu Chi expected, after working all night, they didn't find any valuable clues.
It seems that there is really no one named "Eye" in this city.
Bai Yang said unwillingly: "We will continue to search tomorrow. I still don't believe it. There is only such a big place in total. Where can he hide?"
In fact, Shigui City is not small at all. After all, it is a city, not a small town or a village. However, the mission clearly states that the prophet is in the city - even if no one has heard of it, it does not matter.
will change.
Based on this, Bai Yang still insisted on his previous idea that the other party deliberately hid his identity for some reason. For example, he was tired of being a prophet and wanted to return to ordinary life, so he changed his name and lived an ordinary life.
"The question is, do you know what he looks like?" Chu Tiankuo asked, "Or do you know whether he is a boy or a girl, old or young?"
"Of course." Bai Yang snorted, "I don't know."
Lingmao: "..."
Here we go again, arrogant man!
The night is getting darker, the wind blowing is a little cooler, and a thin mist is spreading.
Lingmao couldn't help but shrink his neck.
She is more sensitive to fog.
"Why don't you just take a break today?"
After another ten minutes of discussion, with no result, everyone unanimously decided to fall asleep and get up first before talking.
People's physiological reactions in the game are no different from those in reality. When you are thirsty, you will be thirsty and when you are hungry, you will be hungry. Sleeping is as essential as eating.
Anyway, the dungeon was not limited in time, so their enthusiasm was not responded to, so it was reasonable to wait for a while.
What is gratifying is that the temporary props issued by the system include a large amount of money, which can allow them to stay in the best hotel in the city.
Gu Chi didn't even pay attention to what they were saying.
The street lights dimmed in the night, and he saw a man wearing a mask walking hastily on the street, throwing the plastic bag in his hand into the trash can, and then hurriedly left, disappearing into the mist.
Lingmao also saw this scene, but didn't think there was anything strange. He just gently pulled the hem of Gu Chi's clothes.
"Let's go, Gu Yuan."
"oh."
…
…
1663 castle.
The splendid lobby made Jiangniao couldn't help but sigh: "Is this really a hotel from the old era?"
Beautifully crafted crystal chandelier.
Moist and fragrant indoor fountain.
Spotless printed floor tiles.
It's beautiful and grand, and he would believe it if it was said to be a five-star hotel in modern society.
"Every era has its capital. The only difference lies in which street lamp they should be hung on." Chu Tiankuo seemed to like pushing his glasses. He walked towards the bar and smiled: "Please open the seven for us."
A room, thank you."
"I'm sorry, sir, we only have one single room left." The blonde female receptionist checked and showed an apologetic smile to Chu Tiankuo. She looked at Gu Chi and others, and then introduced: "If there are seven people, we
There are two suites available, each suite contains a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms, plus the remaining single rooms are just right, do you think it’s okay?”
Chu Tiankuo looked at Lingmao.
She is the only girl among the seven players, so the single room must be for her.
Lingmao did not answer immediately, but blinked pitifully and said to Jiangniao and Wasabi Tang: "How about you two squeeze in?"
She doesn't really want to live alone.
Past game experience told her that even if the dungeon appears calm and harmonious on the surface, extremely dangerous things may happen at any time.
Especially in this city it gets foggy at night.
Lingmao, who has experienced the A-level copy of "The Fog", is now afraid of the fog. If she lives alone in a room, the fog will seep in through the window at night, or something will suddenly burst out of the fog and hit her window.
, she was afraid that she would be scared to tears...
"Okay." Jiang Niao and Mustard Tang don't mind sleeping together with each other.
Probably because they were both novices, the relationship between the two improved very quickly. After a while, after drinking two glasses of wine, they could almost call themselves brothers.
"Then let's open two suites." Chu Tiankuo said to the receptionist.
"Okay, please wait."
Check-in was completed quickly.
Gu Chi took one room card and Chu Tiankuo took one.
Both rooms are on the fourth floor, not far apart.
As for how many people live in one room...
Same as the previous squads - free choice.
So as soon as Gu Chi opened the door, Lingmao and three others got in.
Gu Chi: "..."
Really conscious.
Is this the potential impact of Charisma 9?
"It seems that they all admire you." Chu Tiankuo said with a smile.
Gun Hui glanced coldly into the room, said nothing, and walked forward.
Bai Yang complained in a low voice: "This guy is really difficult to get along with. He only said one thing the whole day, 'Gun Ash, 18, Agent.' It's amazing. My goddess is not as cold as him."
"Maybe he just doesn't like to talk?" Gu Chi looked at Gun Hui's back and said.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't lose control at the critical moment." Bai Yang said, "We also went back to rest, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Chu Tiankuo and the other three returned to the room.
Gu Chi closed the door, looked at the three people on the sofa, and joked: "You three are relying on me, right?"
"Yes." Lingmao said seriously, "After discussion, the three of us agreed that Senior Gu Yuan is the most reliable."
"Really?" Gu Chi took a can of unknown drink from the small refrigerator and pulled it open with a "chi" sound, "What's the surest way?"
Lingmao: "You will laugh."
Jiangniao: "You have a good temper."
Mustard Soup: “Man’s Intuition.”
Gu Chi: "..."
Did your intuition tell you that the most dangerous thing is to be with me?
"Chu Tiankuo also laughs, doesn't he?" Gu Chi said.
Lingmao said honestly: "But he is not as handsome as you."
The appearance of the character in the game is the player's true appearance and cannot be modified except for special props. However, at the end of the game, the player will not remember the appearance of his teammates and can only remember an ID, but this does not affect the player's ability to play during the game.
Prefer to team up with other good-looking players.
Including some NPCs, many times they will choose dishes based on the player's outfit and appearance, so "charm" is actually a very important attribute, and its role is not just as simple as priority in mate selection.
Jiangniao and Mustard Soup deeply agree with this.
Do you think only women like handsome guys?
In fact, men like it too.
With the ironclad facts on his face, what could Gu Chi say?
"Go to bed early."
Without saying a word, he entered the second bedroom, leaving the master bedroom to mustard soup and river birds.
Gu Chi took out the temporary props issued by the system and looked at them.
"OPPPPO17 Pro Max: Wostar's latest mobile phone, charges for one minute and has 50 years of standby time"
Nothing special.
But the feel is okay and the gun is quite easy to hold.
Gu Chi played with it for a while and then put the gun back.
After washing briefly, he lay down on the bed.
The bed is not far from the window, and you can just see the clock tower, the city's landmark building.
The clock hanging on the bell tower has a very special shape. It has two dials, one blue and one yellow, with many patterns dotted between the scales.
Gu Chi originally wanted to write down the details on the clock as he had done before when observing the buildings on the street, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly.
Forget it, let’s take the time to observe it up close another day.
It is said that the clock tower will ring once at twelve o'clock, so I hope it will not disturb me when I sleep.
Outside the room, Lingmao and the other three stopped chatting. They had run for so long tonight, and they still didn’t feel anything when they were running. The enthusiasm of entering the dungeon for the first time was there to support them. Now as soon as they stopped and touched the soft sofa, they immediately felt like they were there.
We were a little sleepy, so we said good night to each other and went back to our rooms.
Thinking that Gu Chi was next door, Lingmao slept soundly and sweetly, feeling particularly at ease.
The only flaw was that she didn't sleep until she woke up naturally.
Early the next morning.
"Bang bang!"
“Bang bang bang!”
Bellcat was awakened by a rude knock on the door.
"Who..."
“Bang bang bang!”
The person outside the door said nothing, but knocked harder.
"Come on, come on, stop knocking."
It’s so annoying, disturbing my dreams so early in the morning!
Lingmao got out of bed angrily, then got up full of resentment, wrapped herself in her pajamas, took off her slippers and went to the living room to open the door.
“Bang bang bang!”
If you keep knocking, be careful I'll knock your head off!
Lingmao thought viciously in his heart.
Well, I can only think about it, but I can’t say it.
Those who came to look for them were either Chu Tiankuo, Bai Yang, or Gun Fu. They were all big bosses and no one could offend them.
But the fact is that she guessed wrong——
Bellcat lowered the lock and opened the door.
What came into view was a face that was so ugly that it couldn't even be called a face.
The skin on the opponent's face was shriveled and wrinkled like dead tree bark, his eyes were bulging, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his body was in a terrible state of ulceration. His whole body was either red or green, exuding a disgusting putrid odor.
Lingmao: "..."
She closed the door calmly.
Zombies?
How is that possible.
This is not a doomsday survival dungeon. I must have opened it the wrong way.
So Lingmao took a deep breath and opened the door again.
