Chapter 3 Steam and Magic

The guest next door appears to be human.

She wore a gas mask with a brass skull pattern on her head, and a tattered linen cloak covered most of her body, making her face unclear.

The moment she rushed out, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

However, when she glanced at the open door behind Ji Xun from the corner of her eye, the murderous intent in her eyes instantly dissipated, and she blurted out in surprise: "You're not dead yet?"

...

His voice was deliberately kept low, but he could tell that he was not very old.

It was probably because he recognized himself that he didn't take action.

"???"

When Ji Xun heard this, he complained quietly in his heart.

To die is to die once.

However, this woman seems to know me?

Ji Xungang didn't know anything when he traveled through time, and his intuition told him that it was best not to speak randomly.

At the moment of the confrontation, the girl with the mechanical arm opposite seemed to have thought of something, and took the lead in putting down the steam cannon barrel in her hand and making a friendly gesture.

She looked at Ji Xun's empty clothes and obviously guessed something. She was even more puzzled and murmured again: "You stayed with the 'Fallen Witch' all night and you're still alive?"

"..."

Ji Xun remained silent as he listened and put down the gun in his hand.

The other party immediately revealed that there was a [Fallen Witch] in the room, so he obviously knew a lot.

The mysterious woman looked at Ji Xun, who was silent, and pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something. Without further ado, she asked straight to the point: "Are you a lone hunter or do you have a team? I mean, are you interested in cooperating?"

Speak very straightforwardly.

As she said this, she was afraid that the guy in front of her would not be able to figure out her current situation, so she added: "Otherwise, if the fallen witch comes to your door tonight due to your state, you probably won't survive tomorrow."

"What...?"

Ji Xun listened and quickly calculated the information in these words.

The woman's tone was very unfamiliar. She had probably just seen her before, but she probably didn't know the original owner.

This also saves a lot of trouble.

But what does this mean? I won’t survive tonight?

Where did this start?

This woman obviously had a lot of information that he desperately needed.

With his thoughts turning, Ji Xun asked tentatively without showing his expression: "Cooperation?"

"Um."

Seeing that he did not refuse directly, the mysterious woman said bluntly: "I am interested in the materials produced by the [Fallen Witch]. If you are willing to cooperate, we can hunt down this B-level contaminant tonight. Although there is no guarantee of success.

, but at least I will try my best to kill it. Only by killing the monster can you leave the space alive."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, I will try my best to keep you safe."

"..."

Ji Xun heard that this meant killing monsters and exploding materials.

This extra-dimensional space seems to be a copy of a game or something like that.

He wanted to inquire about something more, but he knew too little about the world and didn't know where to start in such a short period of time.

And the girl with the mechanical arm obviously had very clear ideas.

She keenly caught Ji Xun's hesitation, thinking that he didn't believe her, and said in a strange tone: "Although I don't know how you survived last night, you don't think that [Fallen Witch] will be able to

Let you go?"

"..."

Ji Xun still didn't speak, but his mind was thinking about the naked body lying inside.

Anyone who gets close will be contaminated by radiation. This is a monster that I cannot understand.

Moreover, the man in front of him was so well-equipped that he could not even kill him even as he spoke. This also confirmed his previous judgment that he should not be able to handle it.

However, you may not necessarily believe everything this person says.

Ji Xun fell into deep thought for a moment.

...

Can you still hesitate?

Ordinary people are targeted by a B-level disaster. If someone offers help, why don’t they agree quickly?

Looking at his hesitant expression, the girl with the mechanical arm obviously made up her mind: This guy doesn't have a clear understanding of the horror of the [Fallen Witch], right?

She thought of something and asked in surprise: "Did you just come in without buying any information?"

That look was like looking at a fool who recklessly risked his own death.

"..."

Ji Xunzhengchou didn't know how to express information, so when the other party said it, he took the seat by default.

He asked casually: "You mean... [Fallen Witch] will come to me again?"

After hearing this, the mysterious woman had such a helpless expression under her mask.

She pondered for a moment and explained: "Then you should have seen Enlightenment. This is a spiritual B-level disaster. It can lock the human soul. If you stay with it for a whole night, no matter where you are hiding in this space,

It can find you anywhere."

"..."

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched slightly as he listened.

It turns out that enlightenment cannot be seen by oneself, but is a certain rule of this world.

I understood what he said, and he was "marked" by the monster.

And he immediately understood that the reason why this woman wanted to cooperate was obviously not because of Ji's fighting ability, but because she wanted to take advantage of the monster's marking characteristics and needed a "bait".

But after hearing this, Ji Xun gave up all worries.

After all, if we don't know each other, no one will help you for no reason. Even if it is to take advantage of you, he doesn't take it seriously at all.

Cooperation with valuable exchange is more stable.

He pondered for a moment and asked the doubt in his heart: "Can you kill it now? I mean..."

Originally, he wanted to say that the monster was still sleeping and seemed to have no attack power, so it should be easy to kill.

But without thinking, he was interrupted immediately.

The girl with the mechanical arm had an expression on her face as if this guy didn't know anything, and objected: "If it were possible to kill a B-level disaster so easily, there wouldn't be so many people dying in this extra-dimensional space. It doesn't matter whether you can destroy it.

The body can, no matter what method you use to kill it, it will be resurrected intact at night. Someone has tried this more than once. And... anyone who comes close to its body will be left behind.

'Mark of Hate'. When night falls, those marked will surely die."

oh.

This plan really doesn't work.

He was just asking.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows: "Death is inevitable?"

"right!"

The girl with the mechanical arm said firmly: "As far as I know, there are no exceptions."

"If you don't believe it, you can try firing two shots. Anyway, you have been marked."

As she said that, she looked at Ji Xun again, obviously wondering why this guy didn't die, and added, "I'm curious, how did you survive last night?"

"..."

Ji Xun had no intention of explaining that the original owner was dead, nor could he explain why he was still alive.

But in this current situation, he had no choice at all.

Although he didn't believe everything this woman said, he could basically confirm a few points.

First, the monster inside is really difficult, at least you can't solve it by yourself.

Secondly, the opponent is equipped with sophisticated equipment, so there is no need to say so much to kill him. It seems the same is true if he is tied up and used as bait? Or maybe he needs his own cooperation to be used as bait.

But no matter what, at least until I kill the [Fallen Witch], I still have value.

It's valuable and not dangerous for the time being.

...

Ji Xun knows nothing about this world and needs a source of information right now.

He did not hesitate and said directly: "I agree to cooperate."

As he spoke, he added: "But before that, can you share some information? I mean, about this space."

"Can!"

The girl with the mechanical arm obviously breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

I'm afraid of meeting an idiot who doesn't understand the situation.

With a bait, it would be much easier to hunt the disaster by yourself.

As she spoke, she gestured to Room 2013, which she had just come out of, and said: "But there are still twelve hours until dark, and I still have some preparations to make. If you want to survive until night, you can go and stay in the room.

Or if you are not afraid of encountering monster paintings, just follow me. But I can’t guarantee that you will be safe..."

Ji Xun said decisively: "I'm with you."

Obviously, it's safer to follow this one.
