"I ...... God!!" Lin Ziyue was stunned to watch the city slowly drift in, with the approach of the river under her feet, there was a roar, the earth was trembling, Lin Ziyue looked at the shadow dance with a little horror, "Big brother!!, how can we go up there?!!"

The shadow grabbed her wrist, and there was a bit of madness in his eyes: "Of course it's running, jumping up!"

After speaking, he pulled Lin Ziyue and trotted down the river.

"Don't you think this is too much nonsense?!" Lin Ziyue roared.

"Isn't the game going to be fun!"

The two people trotted along the river, faster and faster, and the city down the river gradually approached the two, the city in the center looked taller and taller, and the periphery of the city was a circle of sparse shrubs and potholes, Lin Ziyue glanced at each other, and the two jumped out towards a sandy place closest to the river bank, Lin Ziyue fell on the sand, rolled several times before getting up again, looking up at the river bank above was at least a few meters high, she wondered if her courage at that moment was crazy.

"Good job!" Shadow pulled her up from the ground and patted the sand off her back.

"I still think it's. Lin Ziyue muttered, following behind the shadow, and the two walked towards Drifting City.

There are no players at the city gate, only a few guards stand guard at the city gate, and the two enter the city gate without any hindrance, most of the buildings in the Drifting City are piled up of stones, extremely rough and rudimentary, and there are rivers gushing out of the ground everywhere in the city, or forming a river with stones on both sides of the river passing through the city, or forming a small pond surrounded by stones, and there are simple wooden planks everywhere on the river and pond, forming a bridge, and players have been used to this leaking city for a long time, and there are even many players sitting directly in some hot ponds, holding food and wine in their hands, and the player holding a boat through those small rivers that are several meters deep.

"How can there be a fountain here?" Lin Ziyue asked suspiciously, and bursts of hot air poured up from a pond that the two of them were passing by.

"It's related to the energy of Driftcaster, but it has nothing to do with us, huh...... I hope it has nothing to do with us, register in the city first, and then go find those guys, Yijian just shared the coordinates with me. ”

"Oh, good. Lin Ziyue hurriedly followed the shadow's footsteps.

The two of them were warmly welcomed by the staff in the skill guild, and Shadow said that this was some kind of "sequelae" of joining the faction, and that the service personnel of this official way, or many special independent data of the Phantom World, would show a special attitude after the player owned the faction. After the two registered, Lin Ziyue followed the shadow through many alleys and plank bridges, and finally walked to a stone house, the shadow took out a prop like Lin Ziyue's booklet and pasted it on the door of the stone house.

"I think I need to add some snacks first, and by the way, I will see if the clerk with the head in the water in Drifting City will sell me some severity. The shadow raised an eyebrow at Lin Ziyue.

Entering the stone house, the space in the room is obviously several times larger than it looks from the outside, there is a counter opposite, there is a small corridor leading to the left behind the counter, and the sides of the room are filled with all kinds of shelves, which looks a little crowded after filling this house, all kinds of snacks or trinkets are messed up, and there are even a few hangers with strange hats and capes. When the two of them entered the door, the bell hanging on the door rang "jingle bell", and a voice came out from behind the counter weakly: "Boss...... There were guests, troublesome guests......"

"Shut up, you long-winded old monster!!What kind of guest are you going to be able to handle?Old lady is thinking of new ideas! Thinking you know?No one can disturb, let me be quiet-"

"Correction, a guest with a story......"

"What!!Where is it?" A woman poked her head out of the end of the corridor, looked Lin Ziyue and Shadow up and down, and then showed a smile with a bit of urgency, "Hey, it's still a couple, okay, come in, come in, take all the free things in one story, oh my God, two walkers, I haven't seen them in years......"

"Shut up, boss, you only saw the ** pair last month, your anxiety is committed again, I'll cook some cocoa." The man behind the counter stood up, his blue hair draped over his shoulders in a mess, and after his dark blue eyes swept over Lin Ziyue and Shadow's faces, he turned and walked into the depths of the corridor.

The woman known as the proprietress walked out, wearing a long skirt with gray and white stripes, a waist-length ponytail loosely draped behind her, a ballpoint pen pinned to her ear, a white blindfold on her left eye, and a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose.

The two were dragged by the woman into the corridor behind the counter, into the back room, there were a few couches and a low coffee table, the sound of the piano came from nowhere, playing a brisk tune, the room was on three sides of the ceiling-high bookshelves, on which were cluttered with all kinds of books, there were a few scribbled notebooks on the coffee table, and there were several stacks of books around the table, the woman pushed the two to a sofa, sat opposite herself, and then took a few pieces of paper and a ballpoint pen behind her ear, and quickly wrote something, while the tip of the pen was moving quickly on the paper, she never took her eyes off the two, only the right eye that was exposed flashed with excitement, staring closely at Lin Ziyue and the shadow.

"You're here for me, wow, saved my schedule for this fall and winter, and to tell you the truth, I've hit some kind of bottleneck, so I thought you might be able to, tell me your stories, give me some inspiration, ah, thank you, old monster. The proprietress took a steaming cup of cocoa from the blue-haired man.

"Call me a droplet. Shui Dizi said lazily, and then handed Lin Ziyue and Shadow a glass of cocoa each, and then went back to the counter in the front room.

Lin Ziyue tasted a sip of hot cocoa, although it was sweet and greasy, but it was very suitable for her taste. However, after the shadow tasted it, he put down the cup and said solemnly: "Boss, haven't we met before?"

The proprietress looked at the shadow, revealing a puzzled look, and then she lifted the blindfold on her left eye and opened her eyes quickly, at that moment Lin Ziyue saw an extremely deep gray in the eyes of the proprietress that seemed to suck out the general shadow of the human soul, at that moment Lin Ziyue felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit, the moment the proprietress closed her eyes, this feeling dissipated, Lin Ziyue took a deep breath, and found that the shadow around her was also stiff, and seemed to be shocked by the gloom in the eyes of the proprietress .

"Ah! It turned out to be Xiao Yu, sorry, I really can't see the specific person with my eyes, so I have to use that eye to see. The proprietress laughed softly, and the almost devouring darkness just now seemed to have nothing to do with her.

"I've been tempted to ask before, why don't you look at people with that eye now that it's blurry because of the injury?" asked the Shadow Lady as she tapped her hand lightly on the coffee table.

The pen in the proprietress stopped, she took a big sip of cocoa, and said, "Do you want me to look at you with that eye all the time?"

"I don't want to!" Lin Ziyue blurted out subconsciously.

"Hahaha, huh? I also think my eyes are terrible, I don't dare to look at them myself. The proprietress touched her blindfold and smiled wryly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I ......"

"It's okay, I'm glad you confessed so much, I saw the brilliance of humanity from you just now. The proprietress raised her glass, raised it to Lin Ziyue, and then took another sip.

Lin Ziyue smiled awkwardly, and after holding the cup and signaling to the proprietress of the proprietress , she drank it silently.

"So let's get down to business, story, story, I've heard a few stories about Xiao Yu, but what about you, girl?" the proprietress looked eagerly returned.

The corners of Lin Ziyue's mouth twitched a few times, and her smile couldn't be maintained: "That, what kind of story do you want?" I don't think I can do anything...... Not. ”

The corners of the proprietress mouthed up: "Look, many times people deny it, but the truth is here, everyone is the protagonist of the story, everyone is deeply involved in their own story, so tell me your story? ”

Lin Ziyue frowned in distress: "But I don't really want to talk about it, I ......" Lin Ziyue took out a black rose from her pocket, "I want to ask if you know this person's story?"

The proprietress looked at the rose in Lin Ziyue's hand in a daze, then let out a miserable scream, hurriedly rolled over to the back of the sofa, and shouted: "Water droplets! Situation No. 0! Zero! That pervert! That super pervert ahhh

"Boss, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Shui Dizi walked over lazily, and his eyes widened the moment he saw the black rose in Lin Ziyue's hand, "!!" Then he shrank behind the sofa with the proprietress together, and the two of them trembled and showed half of their heads, looking at Lin Ziyue with panicked eyes, as well as the black rose in her hand.

Lin Ziyue put away the roses, and after the droplets behind the sofa and the proprietress breathed a sigh of relief, they stood up together, Lin Ziyue took out the roses again, and the two of them shrank down with a scream.

"Don't make a fuss. The shadow slapped Lin Ziyue lightly on the back of the head.

"Does the proprietress know anything about the black rose?" Lin Ziyue took the rose back and waited for the water droplet to sit down with the proprietress before asking.

The proprietress covered her head and shook it desperately, and the drops of water gently patted her on the back and replied, "This is the ...... Let me tell you, boss, you go to the store first. ”

The proprietress tugged at the collar of the drop and looked at him with a pleading gaze: "Are you sure you ......"

"It's fine. The water droplet gently pressed her forehead against the boss lady's head, and the boss lady immediately quieted down, and her body no longer trembled, as if the water droplet's action made her feel at ease.

After the proprietress left, the water droplet rubbed her temples and said slowly, "Since you have that madman's rose, then you must know who he is, right? At least you have seen him." ”

"Well...... C。 ”

"Yes, how to say it, the matter of the Abyss Circus, ** anyone with a little ability is regarded as a taboo, because that group of people is an uncontrollable factor in our eyes, the abyss of ** is originally a place where the broken souls of the Six Realms will be thrown in, because their lives are defective and they cannot withstand the washing of reincarnation, so they can only be exiled to **, and the abyss is the kind of inner world where sinful souls are exiled, the reason is that those broken souls can be suppressed by the power of the abyss, Sealed, but the Abyss Circus, began to attract complete souls to meet the needs of the personnel, by hunting complete souls, almost all of them obtained the **, and even a few of them broke through the space and directly opened the passage to the Six Realms in the circus to search for more souls. But these things happened a few years ago...... Now the circus is torn apart, and the man who loves black roses is the leader of the radical faction. ”

"That man with a skeletal cane is so powerful?" Lin Ziyue frowned in confusion.

"Radicals, are there so-called moderates?" said Shadow.

Shui Dizi nodded: "The leader of the circus, A is the leader of the moderates, C is the leader of the radicals, and D is the guardian of neutrality, as far as I know, there is also the balance faction led by K and the firm symbiosis faction led by Z, and A is still in the ** , has been waiting in the circus, D's words are said to be wandering in the human world, K and C are missing, Z still doesn't know who it is, several factions in the end, that is, they began to think about their own existence, and then different ideas appeared, and after the resulting dispute, the whole circus fell apart. ”

Lin Ziyue sighed, leaned back and fell on the sofa, her head aching faintly.

"I'm with ...... The proprietress is a victim of C. Shui Dizi said with a wry smile, "If you really talk about the history of **, but it's a long time, we were originally a little special human beings, and under the planning of C, we became nothing today, I am now half a ghost and half a demon, and the proprietress is half human and half immortal, if it weren't for the old friends of the Yin Yuan Society to help us, you would not have seen us today." ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and for a moment there was no word, only the beautiful sound of the piano came from nowhere.

"Xiao Lin, right, give me your pass, you are welcome to come here to play next time, and when the boss lady is in a better mood, you can also tell her your story, it will make your carrying much easier, and it is always good for someone to vent." Shui Dizi nodded in the direction of the counter outside, "She's a good listener, since a long time ago, not to mention that people are creatures who need to communicate, don't look at the way I look now, I used to be a trainee psychiatrist." ”

Lin Ziyue took out her pass, the water drop drew a few times on the cover, it seemed to be a symbol, Lin Ziyue opened the booklet and found that there was an extra page, which said "among all beings", and there was a symbol below, with a quill wrapped in the middle of a water droplet.

"Thanks, it's almost time for us to go. The shadow said, "Those guys on the Mercenary Channel are complaining that they have been waiting for a long time, and it is almost twenty minutes behind the time I expected, and you don't mind if I bring some snacks out of the house." ”

"Take whatever you want, just don't empty it. "The droplets don't care about smiling.

After Lin Ziyue finished searching the shelves in the shadow, the two walked out of the small shop, the moment the stone door closed behind them, the sound of the piano that had been faintly echoing in the store disappeared completely, she sighed, the shadow glanced at it, didn't say anything, and walked in front and silently led the way.

"Shadow, why do you say that the setting of the illusory world is so complicated?" Lin Ziyue poked the shadow's elbow and asked.

"Who knows, you should ask the planning and editing team. The shadow pursed her lips.

Lin Ziyue raised her head and looked at the floating clouds in the sky, but she didn't look at the road, she fell into the ditch with one foot and almost fell, but the shadow grabbed her hat and pulled it, so Lin Ziyue didn't lie down.

After the two of them walked for a few minutes, they stopped at a place marked "Private Club", and after entering, there was the layout of a conference room, and there were already three people sitting at a round table in the middle, two of them were playing cards, and there were a lot of silver and gold coins on the side of the game, and the other person was writing and drawing on a dozen papyri papers, and the train was running in his mouth.

"You're too late!" shouted a meat bun, then threw away the cards in his hand, and reached out on the table a few times, confusing the game.

"You're a Laipi!?I'm about to win this hand?!!," the three thousand annoyance wind slapped the table and roared, and a few pieces of straw paper on the other side of the table fell to the ground.

"What kind of table are you looking for death!" a sword Changmeng also called, quickly picking up the straw paper that had fallen to the ground, and then put away the messy things, for fear that they would be lost because of those two violent maniacs.

Baozi and Sanqian hurriedly put away their gambling funds and let Lin Ziyue and Shadow sit down.

"So, what do we do now?" Lin Ziyue asked.

Baozi smacked his lips: "Eh, it's not all three thousand mission idiots, I can't do it without me, today I helped him receive the task from his grandmother, and then we went to find the place where the source of life disappeared, and found that there was a structural map of the core of Drifting City, so under the leadership of a sword, I landed on this island from the last place where Drifting Island was stationary, and now the task is to find clues in the city." ”

"She and I just got here. The shadow paused, a sword frowned and looked at him, but didn't say anything, the shadow continued, "There doesn't seem to be a place to fight monsters around here, I'm wondering if this person should go to a copy, you continue to look for clues in the city." ”

"It's okay, Moon Shadow, do you have any opinions?" asked Sanqian.

"I think it's good, we're not in a hurry to leave anyway, so it's fun to drift along with the main city. Lin Ziyue replied.

Yijian also nodded and said: "I agree with this proposal, first, Moon Shadow's current level is too low, and it is very inconvenient to encounter danger, second, the mission of three thousand may make progress for him to establish a camp, and third, among the several stops under Drifting City, it will enter the Novaland Plain in two days, which is very close to Nou City, and we can go directly to the third main city after going down from there, and open the teleportation array between the main cities as soon as possible." ”

"Then it's settled, let's go our separate ways. Shadow dropped a few packets of snacks on the table, "Tsk, this is for you to pass the time." ”

Baozi and Sanqian chattered and grabbed it, laughed with a sword, and pushed the glasses: "It feels weird." ”

"Why?" Lin Ziyue asked.

"Because the one I've seen him is so cold in reality, he would never do that. Yijian glared at him regardless of the shadow's desire to eat people, and said calmly and casually.
