(Additional update for brother ‘Huo Zheng is very good’ [16/20])
The girl team had strong execution skills. After they decided to set off, it only took them ten minutes to cross the large crack in the city from the stepped passage formed by the collapsed city wall on the edge of the city to the inner city. In addition to the four of them, there were also
Brother Meow Meow, who was invited, also joined them as a temporary healer.
The Four King Kongs under his command and his old cousin Xiaoshou just formed a five-man team to explore the sewers to improve their levels, so there was no delay between them.
"Are you sure there is really job transfer information here?"
Brother Meow Meow, who was wearing a green psychic grass ring, was clutching his secret staff. He was obviously an oak apprentice, but he was wearing a sultry vampire robe.
It's not that he deliberately mixed it up, the main reason is that the equipment seized from the vampire psionic master has entries for psychic perception and manipulation, and he is reluctant to change it.
Speaking of players, mixing and matching is the norm.
Which male character hasn’t worn a combination of skirt and plate armor in the game?
Especially when you play a healing breast ride and must pursue the amount of healing, the coquettish little blue dress with exposed breasts and back is the best thing you can't miss. Although it is true that a bald human man wears a skirt and holds flowers as a sidekick.
It's very eye-catching, but you have to admit that this mix and match is full of intense beauty at first glance.
Brother Miao Miao is obviously a strong person, so he doesn't care about his too weird image at this time.
This cunning social man stood under the half-collapsed city wall, looking at the deserted inner city in front of him, and said to Lumina:
"This place looks much worse than the outer city. At least some of the buildings there are intact, but here. Hiss, this place has been completely bulldozed."
This is indeed the case.
The inner city that was supposed to be majestic and majestic was now reduced to rubble, and there were no remaining standing buildings as far as the five people could see.
The ground has obviously been corroded by energy and has become pitted, and the dust has turned into a gravel-like powder. Some buildings have even exposed their foundations. Even the solid masonry is so miserable, and there are no human remains.
Want to exist.
Cadman City's 400 years of time have completely wiped out the filthy power of the star realm in seven days. The vitality of this land seems to have been drained away, leaving only a shriveled and pale "corpse".
And these five people were standing on top of the corpse.
A gust of wind blew, causing the gray gravel to fly everywhere, making it look like a gray desert scene, and such a miserable scene made the five people look at each other.
They looked far into the distance.
We can only barely see that the former Blood Vulture Castle still has its base that has been weathered for thousands of years. Even if we send the best players to search, it will be difficult to find anything of value on the ground.
After seeing the tragic situation in the inner city with her own eyes, Lumina's heart dropped.
Although Mrs. Tris very thoughtfully told Lumina all the information she knew about the old lady who was suspected of being a bard, and even drew a topographic map for her, this was all flattened. She wanted to find the specific information.
The location is almost impossible.
"It's all here."
Brother Meow Meow noticed Lumina's loss. The socialite laughed, took the first step forward, and said to the four girls behind him:
"Let's go and have a look. Where is that place?"
"A bar called Bloody Teeth."
Lumina also cheered up and took a look at the record file in her player interface, and said to the others:
"Mrs. Tracey said she remembered the old lady always playing there, but that was more than 100 years ago."
"Ah? More than a hundred years ago?"
Brother Miao Miao blinked his eyes and said:
"Then the old lady has died a long time ago, right? Moreover, this place has been corroded like this, where can you see any bars? I think it is better to go to the cemetery in the inner city to have a look. The coffins and other things are buried underground, so it won't be a problem.
Isn’t it just as miserable as on the ground?”
"Yes, Uncle Meow Meow is right."
Xiao Ashina pushed the witch hunter hat he bought specially with the revolver, assumed an exaggerated walking posture like a cowboy, rubbed his hands and said:
"So we're about to fast forward to the grave-digging and tomb-robbing part, one of the classic evil deeds of the Fourth Natural Disaster? OK! It's so exciting, go, go, go, there's only one hour left in the game, get it done before you go offline!
"
"Walk!"
Lan Huahua grabbed the tower shield behind her and held it in her hands, striding forward decisively.
Speaking of which, the sight of a skinny girl carrying a tower shield as tall as herself was really visually impactful, and Brother Mew Miao couldn't help but shrink his head.
He felt that if he met such a tough girl in reality, he would probably be beaten to death by three punches. Well, let's be more conservative. One punch could knock him out, a senior who doesn't exercise all year round and likes to wash his feet occasionally.
A social animal.
So, what is the origin of Lumina, this mysterious little gang? Why do such weird things always happen that are rare for ordinary people to see?
"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with the psychic fluctuations ahead."
A few minutes later, Miao Miao suddenly frowned.
As an oak apprentice, he has a very keen sense of natural spiritual energy. Although the inner city is so poisoned, there is still a natural breath in the wind warning him.
There is danger ahead!
"alert!"
He raised the staff in his hand and made some unskilled movements to cast the spell.
As the green light swirled around the head of the staff, summoning psychic thorns to wrap around the female shield-hand Orchid, Sister Pomegranate popped out the three-edged spikes on her fist blade. Lumina grabbed the shotgun behind her and moved forward.
aim.
The four girls protect the therapist Mew Miao in the center. This feeling of being "protected" by the four girls makes Mew Miao feel extremely safe.
I thought it was the right choice to choose the healing profession.
They cautiously advanced toward the cemetery. After walking past the corroded and broken metal fence, they saw a group of skeletons with missing arms and legs walking blankly on the desolate ground of the cemetery.
Some of them were still dragging the weathered clothes from when they were buried, and some of them seemed to have been buried not long ago, but their flesh and blood were also corroded by the astral spiritual energy.
"Mrs. Tracey said that astral spiritual energy does not distinguish between attributes and may lead to an imbalance of death spiritual energy in certain areas, resurrecting the dead like this."
Lumina explained in a low voice and moved forward to conduct a range inspection.
The feedback information jumps into the player interface:
Title: The souls of the dead who cannot rest in peace
Status: Decayed, Restless, Fragile Limbs, Positive Energy Easily Injured
Rating: similar in strength·hostile
"You can fight!"
She said something.
The next moment, Xiao Ashina, who was cheering, raised his two guns and fired continuously like Lucky Sister magnifying her moves. At a distance that was close to the limit of the revolver's range, he fired six shots and shattered the skulls of four skeletons.
An average of one and a half shots per shot, and the targets were moving targets. The most important thing is that the little guy hit the skulls on the head.
That goal is too small.
This precise marksmanship shocked Brother Meow Meow. While he threw out vines to wrap around the approaching skeleton and pinned it to the ground, he said to Xiao Ashina:
"My little girl's shooting skills are so accurate. Have you practiced?"
"I've been playing with guns since I was five years old."
Xiao Weiming snorted and said:
"At that time, my grandma and grandpa took me to play together. My grandpa was a famous fast shooter in their area. I can also ride a horse. Do you understand the value of a cowboy family? Although the doctor does not allow riding now."
"Ahem! Don't talk about reality!"
Lan Hua warned Ashina to shut up, and then she took a deep breath and stepped forward with the tower shield and raised her hands to block the scratches of the skeletons.
Under Lumina's precise shooting and Sister Pomegranate's melee offensive, the five-person team moved forward steadily.
Brother Miao Miao originally wanted to show off his rejuvenating wind treatment, but the four girls cooperated very well, so they couldn't use him at all, so they could only hide far away and throw natural anger like a despicable spell caster.
, take the opportunity to brush up your skill level.
Sure enough, every coquettish healer has a wild heart belonging to the DPS!
Groups of small green light balls were thrown out. The power was not as powerful as a direct bullet, but the advantage was that it had a highly toxic effect, although it was useless against undead creatures such as skeletons.
"There's a strange guy over there! Lumi, look! She's holding a saxophone! Maybe she's the old lady you're looking for!"
Sister Pomegranate made full use of her height advantage. When Orchid kept blocking the siege of skeletons, she jumped on the collapsed tombstone next to it and looked around. She soon discovered that there was a strange skeleton activity deep in the cemetery.
Lumina felt happy, and the team immediately adjusted its direction.
There are a lot of skeletons in this tomb, but they are slow and fragile. Brother Meow Meow can use the shock wave branch of ordinary psychic energy to slow them down, allowing the team to break through the restless souls in a few minutes without any danger.
The blockade has reached its destination.
"Wait! Don't fight, she won't attack us."
Lumina stretched out her hand to suppress Ashina, who was about to shoot and execute her. She looked at the thin skeleton in front of her who was holding a golden saxophone instrument with its pale hand bones.
The latter seemed not to notice the living people around them at all.
It really didn't take the initiative to attack. It just placed the mouthpiece of the instrument in its constantly moving palate in a daze, as if it was playing some weird performance art.
"She wanted to play the instrument, but she couldn't."
Orchid whispered.
Then he pushed Lumina next to him and said:
"Go! It should be the task process when triggered. Help her fulfill her last wish."
"But. But I was forced by my parents to learn a little music when I was a child. I may not be able to play well."
Lumina was a little hesitant and lacked confidence, but she was slapped hard on the butt by Sister Pomegranate and said:
"I know how to brag, but now should you change jobs or should I transfer jobs? Hurry up and don't waste time."
"Ouch."
Lumi was forced to step forward.
She was a little nervous and gestured towards the skeleton, indicating that she would hand over the instrument in her hand to her.
The thin skeleton seemed to understand what Lumina meant. It caressed the instrument in its hand rather "reluctantly" and finally handed it over. Then it stood quietly on the spot, its dark eyes staring at the dew in front of it.
Mina.
It seems to be waiting for something.
The weird purple light spots in the eye sockets sometimes enlarged and sometimes shrank, as if there were really residual emotions inside the bones.
Lumina adjusted her breathing and looked up and down the delicate golden saxophone. However, she discovered that this thing was very similar to the saxophone in appearance, but its structure was different. Fortunately, the general principles of this orchestral instrument were the same.
of.
Under the guidance of Sister Pomegranate next to her, Lumina took some time to get familiar with it. Then, under the "gazing" of the thin skeleton in front of her, she put the mouthpiece decorated with mahogany to her mouth and blew the sound with an unskilled movement.
Got it.
It's just the most basic musical notation I learned in a cram school when I was a kid, but it can barely form a tune.
The rhythm is quite cheerful, which is in sharp contrast to the pale skeletons walking around, swaying and baring their teeth.
A few seconds later, with everyone watching in surprise, the thin skeleton seemed to become happy when he heard the music.
At first she was just swaying her pale skull and nodding her head as if searching for the beat. Soon her swaying became wider, and she even began to dance loosely to the music from another world that she had never heard before.
It's like dancing the last song to a cheerful accompaniment a hundred years after death.
Although the scene of the dancing skeleton is not at all beautiful and even weirdly funny and scary, at this moment everyone else seems to be able to see a very graceful middle-aged lady dancing to the music.
It devotes itself wholeheartedly to it.
The more you dance, the more joy you get.
It's like forgetting the sad second death, allowing the disturbed rest to return to the warm eternal silence.
It's even playing accompaniment to Lumina.
The sound of the bones colliding as it swayed was very rhythmic, just like the sound of a drum. After Lumina finished playing a song, it was still beating, completely immersed in this otherworldly music.
"Go on! Go on, she wants to dance to the end and fulfill her wish."
Ashina Xiao urged her in a low voice, so Lumina changed to a more soothing piece of music.
This time, the skeleton's dancing posture became gentler as the music changed, and the "dancing posture" of this thin skeleton seemed to disturb the other dead.
In the astonishing perception of Brother Mew, the psionicist in the team, he could feel that special power was spreading to the surroundings from the music played by Lumina, who was getting more and more into the state, causing the mindless restless dead to
It also became quiet.
They stood there blankly, quietly surrounding the five-person team and the dancing skeleton, just like the audience watching the performance at a strange concert.
In the sound of music, the dance of the thin skeleton became more and more flexible, as if she had returned to the time when she was still alive, spinning, jumping, and even doing difficult one-legged moves on the small grave where she was buried.
The upright dancing posture makes the coming death become gentle.
However, as it danced, its skeleton began to emit bursts of green smoke under the slanting light of the setting sun.
Just like the scene when vampires are burned.
By the time the second song was played, its entire body was enveloped in flying bone mist, much like the smoke arranged by prop masters on the stage.
The dance is over.
She bowed in a graceful and graceful manner to salute the accompanying musicians. When she raised her head, the upper and lower jaws of her pale skull opened, as if she was showing the most satisfied smile.
Then, the entire skeleton collapsed in an instant and turned into ash and dissipated.
Only a rusty key was left in its place.
She rejected the generosity of death, and when enough of her wishes were fulfilled, she returned to rest again.
The skeletons around them also seemed to be waking up from a dream. They seemed to have finally realized their abnormal state. Amidst Brother Mew's exclamations, they each chose to give up enjoying the power of the curse and fell down or collapsed on the spot.
In just a few seconds, the entire disturbing cemetery returned to the tranquility that a place of death should have.
The rays of the setting sun fell on the messy ground, making the five people feel like they were in a dream for a while.
Lumina was speechless.
She didn't know how to describe the feeling just now.
She felt like she was seeing a vision.
But the fact is that when she played music to accompany the old skeleton, she seemed to really see a skilled and beautiful dancer dancing to the sound of music that she was not actually good at, and she was contented to die again.
Her last wish was fulfilled, and the music from another world soothed her restless soul. When Lumina bent down to pick up the rusty key on the ground, a line of prompt text jumped into the player interface:
[Special music score "Requiem: Another World" has been recorded. After contacting the job transfer item [Nice's Musical Instrument Box Key], the sub-career 'empty' can be transferred to the bard and elf music score specialization, yes/no transfer
Job?]
"I got a job transfer reminder."
Lumina looked back at Sister Pomegranate and whispered:
"But I'm not happy."
"Hypocritical!"
Sister Pomegranate rolled her eyes, stepped forward and patted Lumina on the shoulder. She whispered:
"You have just fulfilled the last prayer of a soul who has been dead for hundreds of years and sent her and her neighbors to rest in peace. Don't show such a sad expression. If this were our place, your hand would be called a mage."
ah.
cheer up!
When you play games, you just have to play with a smile."
"All right."
Lumina curled her lips, stood up, looked at the key in her hand, then looked at the dug grave at her feet, and said:
"Nice's music box is underground. It was a gift she left me. We have to dig it out."
"Wow, it's finally the grave-digging part that I've been looking forward to so much."
Xiaowei Ming screamed and grabbed a few shovels from his psychic bag. Brother Miao Miao looked surprised:
"Why do you have such a thing in your bag?"
"As a greedy adventurer, isn't digging graves a basic operation?"
The 155-year-old dwarf female swordsman grinned and gave a thumbs up in the sunset, making her white teeth shine with reflections. She shouted:
"Be prepared, uncle! Come on, start digging, you might even get a treasure chest."
