Chapter 17: The Missing Persons (2)
In the end, Zhao Xi chose a crystal music box among Ye Chen's recommended gifts, in the shape of a piano, with two cute cartoon characters printed on it.
Zhao Xi is very satisfied with this music box, yes, she is satisfied with herself, in Ye Chen's opinion, this gift is too cute, too sweet and cute, it is very good to give it to girls, but it is a little inappropriate to give it to boys, but helplessly, the customer is God, God wants to buy what he wants. Wrapping the gift, Zhao Xi took the gift box and left happily.
After sending Zhao Xi away, Ye Chen returned to the counter and sat boredly, she looked through her task interface, adding a little sadness. There are only seven words in the entire mission interface:
Mission Name: The Missing.
And then there was no description, no description of the background of the mission world, no description of the character she played, and the most troublesome thing was that there was no mention of how to leave this world and return to the seventh dimension, except for the name, all the information in this mission had to be collected by herself.
God knows what kind of expression Yechen had when he just came to this mission world last night and turned up his mission interface. The space was getting lazier and lazier, and she muttered the phrase as she flipped through the bachelorette apartment. Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain, and the space did not deliberately hide the clues because of Yechen's complaints (Yechen was actually suspicious of this,), and finally found something useful after a busy night: a few photos and a mirror to confirm that this is her own home, and she did not sneak into other people's homes; A bunch of keys, no need to change the locks, of course, also avoid the problem of "how did you lose the key"; On top of that, she found a diary. Thank God, the one named Ye Chen likes to write a diary, and he writes it in detail, but this diary is really hard to find, Yechen really doesn't understand why someone would hide the diary so secretly, this is obviously an apartment where a single woman lives alone. After reading that thick diary, it was already late at night, and Yechen already had a full understanding of the role she was going to play, of course, this also brought a problem, because she slept too late, which caused her to be very unenergetic today.
The journal addresses only the most pressing questions, but it doesn't address the most fundamental one: how to get the job done.
Ye Chen (also known as Yechen) had no clue at all in this regard, and the only thing she felt might be a clue was that she found a book "Ancient Myths and Stories" in the bedside table in her bedroom. This mythical book is very thin, only more than 60 pages, the printing quality is worrying, there are a lot of typos, and there are no illustrations. If this wasn't a clue given by the space, Ye Chen really couldn't imagine that there would be a girl watching this kind of thing before going to bed.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen picked up the mythical story that she casually put on the counter, she had read this book several times, and she was about to memorize it.
Ye Chen flipped through it casually, this was the seventh story of the book, and she read softly: "The story of Teels, what a thing!" But it wasn't a thing anymore, and she had to read it word by word, and that was the only possible clue she could find so far.
It is said that a long time ago, a dragon appeared on this continent, and it had three heads, which represented pain, despair, and fear. Pain brings anger, the head of hatred can spit out the breath of blades and flames, despair brings malice, the head of despair breathes a poisonous mist of viciousness, fear causes terror, the head of fear is the smartest, it can use rhetoric to construct powerful illusions, trap people in them, and sink in endless nightmares. This evil dragon relied on his great strength to challenge the gods of the heavenly realm, and the father faced it fiercely, using clouds as armor, thunder as shields, lightning as spears, thunderbolts as arrows, and time as a chariot to rush straight down from the sky. The gods of terror and fear are on the right and left, the goddess of victory raises her shield to protect her, and the gods of the winds from all directions are for her to drive. Not to be outdone, the dragon moved the three mountains in front of him as a bulwark, and threw off a large cliff and threw it at the galloping carriage in the sky. The Father struck the shield with his thunder and sent down the flames of destruction, and the earth was cracked by the raging flames, and the lakes and seas groaned in pain, and the dragon dragged the river up and around him, keeping the fire out. (Isn't this the story of Zeus vs. Typhon?) Why did you get here? In this way, the two sides fought for seven days and seven nights, and the Father accidentally dropped the thunder into the clouds, and without weapons, the Father only had to flee with the gods of the heavenly realm (what a plot is this!). )。 The gods hid in a valley and discussed how to deal with the dragon, and finally the goddess of wisdom said, "Let's work together to create a hero, and gather the power of all our gods, and he will surely be able to slay that dragon." The gods agreed, and the god of forging took out the black ore and poured it with the iron that had been smelted to shape his body; The goddess of the hunt hunted a sacred deer, skinned it, and sewed a garment for him; The god of love and beauty wried a cloak for him with love; The goddess of war clasped his hands and gave him the power of fury; The goddess of the earth tied him with a belt woven with the pattern of rice ears, which contained the sorrows and worries of the goddess of goodness; The Patronus Goddess created a shield for him, depicted with the feared Viper Queen; God the Father looked at him, gave him life, and gave him a name: Teels. With the blessing of the gods of the heavenly realm, Teels rushed towards the evil dragon, and after three days and three nights of fighting, he finally killed the evil dragon, and Teels, who completed the mission, was ascended to the sky by the gods and became a guardian constellation, forever guarding this continent.
Ye Chen finished reading this boring little story word by word, and there seemed to be a trace of inspiration floating in her head, but she couldn't grasp it, her eyes were looking up at forty-five degrees, her mouth was slightly open, and she was trying to search for that trace of inspiration with a stupid look, just when she was about to catch the naughty little guy, a wind chime rang, scaring all the thoughts away.
Ye Chen looked at the girl at the door, his eyes were round, and he looked angry.
The girl froze there, looked back, confirmed that there was no one behind her, and asked carefully, "Sister Chen, what's wrong?" ”
Ye Chen sat on the chair dejectedly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Xiao Xin, why did you come so early today?" "That girl's name is Gong Xin, she is the first friend Ye Chen has met since moving here, she has an independent and cheerful personality, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Gong Xin started working part-time outside a long time ago, and as the business of the little dragon girl gift shop gradually improved, at the invitation of Ye Chen, Gong Xin resigned from other part-time jobs and came to her to help when he had time.
Gong Xin put down his backpack and said, "There are very few classes this afternoon, so I'll come over early." She looked at Ye Chen's face and said, "Sister Chen, your face is very bad, are you sick?" ”
Ye Chen yawned and said, "No, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I'm a little unenergetic, it's okay." ”
"Oh, okay." As he spoke, Gong Xin took out a rag from under the counter and began to wipe the shelves.
Ye Chen looked at the girl who was busy and said, "Xiao Xin, don't wipe it, I just wiped it." ”
Gong Xin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's idle anyway, it's idle, and someone will come only after wiping things clean." ”
"Okay." Yechen slumped on the chair and said weakly, she will never be able to have as strong energy as Gong Xin, she prefers to be like a cat, lazily basking in the sun, being able to sit and never stand.
