readx; After Lin Ziyue told Lin Ziyun his location, she still stared at the shadow with a little red eyes: "Why didn't you say it earlier...... Dude...... It's the first time I've said that, the first time I've said he wants to know what I'm thinking, and I'm so happy to hear him say that, so happy!!"
When Lin Ziyue said this, she slapped the shadow's arm with a smile, and the shadow who saw her happy appearance snorted, glanced to the side, looking like she didn't want to deal with Lin Ziyue, the two of them were standing in front of the skill guild in Drifting City at this time, and the task package they received from the old man in the barren log house before was to be handed over to the president of the Drifting City Skill Guild. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing here at this time, the two of them planned to wait for Lin Ziyun to come over and then go in together to hand in the task, the shadow originally wanted to give Lin Ziyue and his brother more time to get along, but after seeing Lin Ziyue's reaction, he instantly regretted it, why should he be nosy, tell Lin Ziyue about that guy, I always feel a little unhappy now.
After Lin Ziyun finally came, he pulled up Lin Ziyue and chattered, the two whispered, and the shadow suddenly felt that he was so redundant, and suddenly became resentful, and dragged Lin Ziyue's hood and walked into the guild.
"Ah...... Shadow you!" Lin Ziyue was so confused that she took a few steps and almost tripped over, and after maintaining her balance, she had to quickly catch up with the shadow's pace, but Lin Ziyun showed a certain sudden expression, and secretly despised the shadow's cautious eyes.
The three of them walked into the skill guild of Drifting City, the floor of the guild was also a layer of heavy glass, but there were many transparent water pipes of different thicknesses below, the water in it either flowed down slowly, or rushed to make the water pipes tremble slightly, and there were many small circulating pools lit with colored lights on the walls, accompanied by the sound of different water dripping or flowing, emitting a kind of buzzing echo in the hall, like a symphony played by the flow of water.
Lin Ziyue frowned, she clearly heard some abnormal sounds in that kind of water, like ...... Cry.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyun noticed that Lin Ziyue's expression was not quite right, and quickly asked.
Lin Ziyue shook her head: "I can't say it, I seem to have heard something, but ......"
"If you can't tell the difference between the sound of the water, don't think about it yet, and go and hand in the task. The shadow interrupted her words, and several people walked to a counter, Lin Ziyue showed her pass, and then the three of them were immediately warmly welcomed into the VIP room.
Sitting on the rattan chair swaying back and forth, Lin Ziyue curiously touched the vines under her, the soft feeling was actually like filling with soft rubber, but it was very flexible, perhaps because it was virtual, what kind of unrealistic plant creatures existed, and even applied on various occasions in the game, just like an independent civilization.
"Do you like it, Miss?" A clear voice sounded, and a man in a gray mage robe walked in, and couldn't help but smile after seeing Lin Ziyue's actions, "This is a specialty of the Xigan League, and Drifting City will go there in half a month, and the eldest lady can buy a bundle of immortal ropes made of this vine there." The staff in the man's hand lit on the table, and a few plates of pastries and fruits immediately appeared on the table, and in Lin Ziyue's surprised gaze, he explained: "Haha, this is not conjured out of thin air, it is just spatial teleportation magic." ”
"The magic of the space system is quite rare, and this is the first time I know that our Mixing City Lord is actually a space mage. ”
After Lin Ziyun laughed, the man looked him up and down, snorted and said: "Look at your jeans and the straps on your wrists, you are from the Outer Thousand Islands, that handmade style is a specialty over there, but there is no Drifting City, since you are not from my city, please don't say that I am your city lord." ”
Lin Ziyun laughed twice and stopped talking, the man bowed to Lin Ziyue and Shadow, and introduced himself: "In Xia Mixing, the city lord of Drifting City and the president of the Drifting City Skill Guild, I don't know what the two of you are looking for me for?"
Lin Ziyue took out the package and handed it to Mi Xing, after Mi Xing took the package, he opened it on the table, inside was a dark red wooden box, with dense black symbols painted on it, it looked a little crazy, Mi Xing's face immediately became a little heavy, and after taking a deep breath, he asked Lin Ziyue: "This is what the old woman handed me over?
Lin Ziyue shook her head, Mi Xing looked at the wooden box in front of her hesitantly, and after a few minutes, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, put the staff on the table, stretched out her two hands and lifted the lid of the box, and instantly piercing screams and cries filled Lin Ziyue's ears, she covered her ears and slipped off the rattan rocking chair, nesting on the ground in pain** Getting up, Lin Ziyun immediately rushed to her side nervously, patted Lin Ziyue's back, the black gas in the box continued to drift out, Mixing's hands trembled and his eyes lost focus, or the shadow splitter took the lid from Mixing's hand and covered it tightly on the box, and the black mist stopped overflowing.
"Mixing City Lord...... What the hell is this?" the shadow glanced at Lin Ziyue, who was panting intermittently, and then turned his head to Mi Xing and asked.
Mi Xing slammed his fist into the wooden box, and said in a trembling voice, "Pandora's box." ”
The other three all froze for a moment, and Lin Ziyue got up with Lin Ziyun's support, calming down her tone before asking, "Is it a plague, a curse, a virus?" or something with self-consciousness?"
The black mist in the air gradually fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of black water, Lin Ziyue was a little frightened to find that the black water was actually flowing slowly, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to pull away the shadow and the stunned Mi Xing at the edge of the black water.
Being dragged by Lin Ziyue, Mi Xing seemed to have finally come back to his senses, and hurriedly chanted a spell, the staff shook in a circle by the black water, and the black water was wrapped in a transparent air balloon, suspended on the table, Mi Xing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and turned to the three of them with a serious face:" This box, sealed with the most vicious curse on this continent, is an infectious disease that does not live and does not die, infected people will become the existence of the walking dead, there is no independent mind and no way to control their bodies, they just survive for survival, they maintain their activities by sucking blood, and constantly hunt other creatures to reproduce and maintain their own survival. ”
The shadow and Lin Ziyue looked at each other, and Lin Ziyue spoke: "Could it be that the city lord is referring to...... Zombies?"
"Well...... It doesn't seem to be a zombie in the traditional sense, if you suck blood, isn't it a vampire?" Lin Ziyun interjected after thinking about it.
"Bloody corpse...... This is how people on the continent circulate. Mi Xing pointed to the wooden box on the table, "I thought that this box had already been emptied, but I didn't expect it to be even more prosperous than before, didn't that old woman warn you of anything? ”
Lin Ziyue thought of the screams and cries in her ears, and her heart couldn't help but be full of doubts, the sound clearly came from under her feet, not from the box, although the box was closed now, but she was still listening to those cries with concentration, I am afraid that when I was in the hall before, I vaguely heard those voices, purgatory on earth......
"Mixing City Lord, have there been any disasters in Drifting City before? It's a big disaster, it could be ...... There are a lot of people who have died. ”
The shadow glanced at Lin Ziyue, who said these words, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and Mixing answered Lin Ziyue's question: "Before...... There was an outbreak of this epidemic in Drift City, so there is today's Drift City, Drifting, Drifting, it is an abandoned and exiled city. A wry smile appeared on Mixing's face.
The shadow raised his index finger and made a silent gesture at Lin Ziyue, and then said to Mixing that the three of them would have to rest in the city for a while, and say goodbye for the time being, Mixing nodded, neither left a few more people nor entrusted any tasks, just let the three of them leave, when the three of them went out, Lin Ziyue looked back, Mixing was touching the wooden box, and the expression on his face was more like some kind of fanaticism in addition to pain and grief.
It's like a devout believer who recalls the moment when he was closest to God, but was abandoned by his own God.
The shadow took the two of them to get acquainted with the road, and after entering the stone house, there were actually a few people in Yijian, and Baozi was drinking with three thousand punches, and Yijian wandered around anxiously, and immediately rushed up after seeing the shadow: "What you just said is true?
"It's Halloween in two days, and it's time, this time the event planning department is really generous, so I'm not afraid of collapsing? The shadow's face was also a little anxious, and then the two of them nested in the corner and began to mumble, Lin Ziyun wanted to lean over and listen, but was beaten away by the two of them.
Lin Ziyue was thirsty, and after sitting next to the bun at the table, she picked up a cup on the table and took a sip, but she spit it out again with a "poof", and she didn't know what kind of wine it was, she was about to cry when it was spicy.
"Xiaoyue can't drink!!" Baozi grinned and hooked Lin Ziyue's shoulder, snatched the cup from her hand, poured it all down, and then howled very happily, "Aha! What are you two doing......?" Uh, hiccup...... What do you think of the character level?"
San Qian also leaned over with a drunken spirit: "Eh, I'll teach you, you circle your hands, yes, like me," he gestured a triangle with his hand and aimed at Lin Ziyue, "Then, read it to me...... Tell the deity about your rank, mortal!"
"Oh oh...... Bao Zizi also stepped back a little, and pointed his hand at Lin Ziyue in a triangle, "Tell the deity your level!
Lin Ziyue covered her face in distress, these two people really embarrassed themselves in front of the elder brother, Lin Ziyun patted her on the shoulder and said, "If the elder brother takes you to mess around, I always feel uneasy." ”
Lin Ziyue was so depressed that she scooped up some water in the small pool in the corner of the house, poured it into the buns and three thousand, and put the remaining wine on the table into her pocket, so that the two of them would not continue to drink.
After more than ten minutes, Baozi and Sanqian shook their heads, as if they were more sober, and Yijian and Shadow also sat on the edge of the table, both of them had serious faces, and the shadow even lost his usual signature warm smile.
Yijian cleared his throat, and after several people looked at him, he spoke: "First of all, let's talk about the task of three thousand, the task prompt goes to the core of Drifting City, after we go down from the tunnel near the City Lord's Mansion, a new prompt appears, let us choose to steal or destroy that core." ”
"Either way, once you lose the core, Driftcity will stop this journey," the shadow interface said, "but according to the design, that core is the source of energy for the water to run, and when you lose the core, Driftcity will also be destroyed." ”
"What's the core?" Lin Ziyue asked.
"Water Spirit Beads. Three thousand replied.
Lin Ziyun coughed violently, as if he was stuck in his throat because of this answer, and when he finished coughing, the shadow continued: "Don't be so surprised, just get used to it, everything is possible in the fantasy world." ”
Lin Ziyun waved his hand: "I just think that all aspects of this game can be spoofed, first zombies, and then water spirits...... Ahem, maybe there will be some drama of demons invading the human world in the future. ”
The corner of Yijian's eyes jumped, the script arranged for him by the eldest sister is so vulgar, everyone on the side of the road can guess whether he has to work more overtime to hold some meetings and revise some plots.
"Anyway, what should we do now?Tomorrow Drift City will be in the Novaland Plains, if we stay, we will only enter the West Gan League in half a month, but in a week Drift City will break out into a disaster. A sword tapped on the table, with a heavy expression on his face, "This disaster comes from the wooden box you saw in Lin Ziyue, Pandora's Magic Box, this is a catastrophic event planned for Halloween, of course, it is only a catastrophic event for our editorial department and the original inhabitants of the Phantom World, and it is a grand festival for players, the time of this event...... At the very least, it will last for a week to two weeks, during which time both the player and the NPC will be infected by the virus in the box and become zombie-like creatures. ”
After saying that, Yijian stopped, looked around at the different expressions on the faces of several people, and continued: "Now we need to make a decision, whether to complete the task directly, or leave Drifting City first, and come back after the event is over. ”
Baozi raised his fist while shouting "task", Lin Ziyue poked her forehead and asked her to sit down quickly, but Sanqian also shouted "task", the shadow pointed at Sanqian and said a few words, and the two began to sharpen their knives again, Lin Ziyun saw this chaotic scene, and said to Yijian, who was still standing: "Don't you think this question is a bit redundant? Look at this group of guys, do you seem to be afraid of some infectious diseases?" After speaking, Lin Ziyun lay on the table and covered his head, he felt that he had the possibility of becoming a nanny in the future, and his head hurt after thinking about it a little.
"Alas, a bunch of brainless and unhappy. Yijian pushed his glasses and muttered.
Lin Ziyun raised his head from the table and glanced at him, and said, "How did you get mixed up with this group of people?" I also wonder how Xiao Ziyue got together with this group of people......
Yijian pursed his lips and said coldly: "If you ignore the cause and effect, it is actually a work need." ”
Lin Ziyun raised his head from the table, looked at the side face of a sword, and smiled: "Who knows? ”
Yijian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at the few people who were making noise opposite, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl: "People are divided into groups......
A few hours later, in Lin Ziyue's cheers, the shadow undisguised smug look, everyone's gambling funds were drained, Lin Ziyun watched from the sidelines, has not joined the game to bet, he watched the first game and felt that the two of them were unlucky, so no matter how three thousand and Baozi persuaded him, there was no intention of joining the game, but after a sword was fooled in, at this time even the glasses fell on a pile of collateral in front of the shadow, covering his face and wailing, Baozi pounded a mess of cards, was turning over on the table, three thousand shrunk under the table in a lying corpse, humming in his mouth"Twinkle twinkle sparkle".
Lin Ziyun pulled up three thousand from under the table, pulled the bun from the table, poked the glasses of a sword in his face, ignored the murderous gaze of the shadow, and led Lin Ziyue out of the door of the stone house.
"Ah...... Dude. Lin Ziyue didn't react at first, and then laughed, "Hehe, I don't think there's anything wrong with this, although it looks a little uncompetitive, are you angry?"
Lin Ziyun turned his head sideways, looked at the face similar to himself, and had an inexplicable emotion in his heart: "It's not angry, it's better to say that I am a little happy to see you like this." Lin Ziyun's eyes softened a little, "I feel that except for that person who has no serious glasses, it is easy to bring you down, especially the shadow, I always feel very uncomfortable to look at." ”
Lin Ziyue "en" for a while, but didn't say anything, Lin Ziyun had no choice but to ask her, "So you plan to stay in Drifting City?"
Lin Ziyue nodded, seeing her reaction, Lin Ziyun stopped and said, "You should know what might happen." It sounds ridiculous, but the zombie outbreak scene will be far worse than you think, and we don't know what kind of scene will appear when the player is controlled...... I don't want you to take that risk, enough has happened to you. ”
Lin Ziyue patted Lin Ziyun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, you are worried too much, if you are so scared...... How about we sneak out of the city tomorrow?"
Lin Ziyun looked at her in surprise: "Are you willing to leave with me?"
Lin Ziyue was not worried and said: "They don't have me as an oil bottle, I believe in them." ”
Lin Ziyun was a little relieved when he heard this, rubbed Lin Ziyue's head, and said, "I always feel that you and I have a lot of differences in my memory, which is good, and now you make me feel a lot more at ease, and I feel that you are no problem alone." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Ziyue added in her heart: They also believe me, so it's impossible for me to leave, I'm sorry, brother, I have to calculate you a little.
