In almost all tasks, it is always much easier to work as a team, and having tacit and trustworthy teammates next to you will be of great help both mentally and practically. However, this does not include paranormal missions, and joining a team of paranormal missions does not reduce the difficulty, but rather adds a lot of additional troubles, which are likely to lead to the eventual failure of the mission.

In addition to the most common fright, despair, helplessness, joy, sadness, anger, longing, etc., these emotions will be used by "ghosts", once the mind is tempted by "ghosts", then it will be completely trapped in it, sinking and unable to extricate itself. Teamwork relies on trust, but in paranormal missions, this trust can become a huge psychological hole, and in the face of teammates who have been separated for a few moments, no one knows if he is someone they can trust or has been dropped and become a ghost in human skin. From this point of view, teammates not only failed to become a helper, but instead became a seesaw for powerful ghosts to invade the spiritual world of the trialists.

(The reason why the "ghost" here is in quotation marks is because not all missions with supernatural backgrounds have an actual "ghost", and the "ghost" in the trialist's mind may just be a person, a word, a specific action, or even just an atmosphere.) ）

On this level, Yechen and they were trapped for four days, and on the fifth morning, Yechen was awakened by the spilling sun, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, and looked at the empty cabin, four days ago, there were still four of her teammates, her own companions, but now, she was the only one left. Wiped her face with a wet towel, Yechen put her backpack on her back, pushed open the creaky wooden door and walked out of the cabin, walking more than ten meters, she suddenly stopped, looked back at the still ghostly cabin, pursed her lips tightly, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Walking along the rammed earth path that I don't know who built it, Yechen walked for more than half an hour and came to a fork in the road, which was not a common three-way intersection or an intersection, but a full six forks.

Seeing this fork in the road, Yechen was stunned for a moment, and did not continue to walk, she found a stone on the side of the road, patted the dust on it and sat down. She just silently looked at the blue sky, as if waiting for something. After sitting like this for more than an hour, Wen Yun, Tang Wu, Catherine, and Hurt Rain came one after another. The five girls nodded to each other as they gathered, and without saying a word, they continued on their way.

The atmosphere of the team is a little dull, this is also a normal phenomenon, in fact, even Yechen herself needs to rest in a private space for a period of time after every time she experiences a mission with a supernatural background, and the physical exertion is still secondary, mainly because her heart is too tired, her nerves are tense for a long time, and she sticks to her heart under various mental stimulation, and after relaxing, it will give people a very serious sense of exhaustion, and now it is her limit to be able to move forward, if it weren't for the fact that time in this task is too precious, she really wants to lie down on the spot and take a good rest.

Because of the tiredness in their hearts, the girls walked very slowly, although it was not as troublesome as before to open the road in the rainforest, but there was a relatively flat rammed earth path, but they walked more than thirty miles in a whole day, and when the sun was in the west, it was far from evening, they all planned to rest, and their spirits were indeed a little unbearable.

After a night's rest, the girls also slowly "lived", although it was similar to a supernatural task, but fortunately, the previous level did not last too long, and it was still relatively easy compared to the real supernatural task, and the spirit could be relieved in one night. The next day, I continued to drive, not only did the speed increase a lot, but there were also jokes and jokes along the way, but no one mentioned the specific content of that level.

After walking for another half day, by about noon, they finally arrived at the core area of the entire island, but what Yechen didn't expect at all was that instead of a treasure guarded by elite monsters, she saw a small hotel.

Looking at the four big words "Broken Hotel" written on the signboard, Hurt Yu looked at Yechen and asked with an ignorant expression: "We have encountered a supernatural event again?" "The five of them, the trialists whose comprehensive combat quality far exceeds that of ordinary people, took so much effort to come here, not to mention the level specially prepared for these trialists, just counting those mires, the hunters scattered in this woodland have completely isolated this place, in such a deserted place, there is not a single intelligent creature within a radius of hundreds of miles, who would come here to drink?

Yechen was also a little unsure, she said, "It shouldn't be, let's go, go in and have a look." "I've already been here, whether it's a haunted house or a demon domain, I have to go and have a look.

The five girls pushed open the solid wood, slightly heavy waist door, and walked in.

I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of customers here, there were more than a dozen, scattered sitting, and what was more interesting was that there were people from all over the place, all races, and they could still live in harmony with each other before, just in a position by the window, a tall, tendon-covered orc and a night elf with mysterious dark purple skin sat on a table and drank, it seemed that the two were quite familiar.

Yechen cleaned up, the five girls scattered, and observed the small hotel according to their own ideas, while Yechen himself sat in front of the bar, snapped his fingers and asked, "Boss, what good wine do you have here?" ”

The owner of this hotel is a goblin, only more than a meter tall, with green skin and a large somewhat ridiculous nose, and a pair of attractive ears, which looks quite funny, and when he sees Yechen, he jumps on a wine barrel and says in a sharp voice: "Hello, distinguished guest, Nmura? Wine stoppers are happy to serve you, you can call me wine stoppers, what would you like to order? We have moonshine fruit wine brewed by the Night Elf Maiden herself, authentic dwarven spirits, and simple ale from the western wilderness, which will definitely remind you of the taste of home. Speaking of this, he paused, propped up the bar with both hands, stretched his body forward, leaned into Yechen's ear and whispered: "If you like to hunt for curiosities, I also have a wine brewed by the Scourge Spirits here, which is said to be brewed from the blood of pure maidens, and the brewing method is very 'special'!" After speaking, he smiled proudly, as if he was proud of his hands and eyes.

Yechen frowned and glanced at him, she had heard Wen Yun say before that goblins, creatures, only have money in their eyes, and they will not hesitate to violate any morals and laws for the sake of money, and they will not hesitate to abandon their only conscience and kindness. You must know that Wen Yun himself is a pharmacist who studies the plague, and this identity is also notoriously stinky, so that she can say "throw away her conscience", Yechen can't imagine it. In fact, Wen Yun is a bit exaggerated, if you find a neutral and objective person to evaluate, Wen Yun's status as a member of the Royal Pharmacy Association of the Undercity is more disgusting than that of a goblin who is greedy for money.

Yechen said, "Bring me a glass of Moonlight Fruit Bar." ”

"Okay." The wine stopper sang a sentence, which made Yechen feel a little funny, a goblin is quite interesting like the shopkeeper in a martial arts novel.

The stopper jumped off the barrel, rummaged for a while in the cabinet under the shelf, and took out a small jar of wine, only half a foot high, the mouth of which was sealed with leaves, the surface of which had been cellared for a long time, but the leaves were still verdant, as if they had just been plucked from a tree. The wine stopper lifted the wine barrel, took out a wine glass carved from wood, poured most of the wine and brought it over, and said, "This is the moonshine fruit wine you wanted." ”

Yechen picked up the wine glass and shook it, the clear wine glowed with a hazy white light, there was a kind of dreamlike beauty, worthy of being a fairy in wine. She put down the wine glass and said lightly: "This glass of wine is not pure!" "Pure or impure Yechen doesn't know, she is actually lying to the goblin when she says this, so as to help her gain the initiative in the conversation. Of course, in terms of common sense, it is difficult to preserve fruit wine, especially in this magical world where the transportation level is not very developed, and according to the profiteer nature of the goblin, he is sorry for his green skin, pointed nose and big ears if he mixes some water into it, in short, he is sorry for his goblin identity.

Yechen is a person who plays with people's hearts, and she is also quite good at acting, her voice is not loud, her tone is very light, and there is a little sigh at the end, it seems that she is really regretting this good wine, coupled with a slightly raised brow, slightly open lips, it is completely a wine critic's regret for the spoiled wine, it is simply perfect, and the whole demeanor is not picked. The key to lying is self-confidence, and only when you are confident and not cowardly can you make the other party believe it.

The wine stopper glanced at Yechen carefully, it is said that the secret recipe of this blended wine is handed down from their family ancestors, and no one has been able to find out for hundreds of years, how did she taste it? No, she didn't even taste it, she just smelled it and made a judgment.

Jiu Sai said a little embarrassed: "Guest, how can you say that, the Jiu Sai family has been engaged in wine trading for generations, although the business is not very big, it is also considered to have some reputation in this circle, and the Jiu Sai family business house has been based on integrity for three hundred years, and will never smash the signboard by itself." ”

Good faith? It's so weird that the word comes out of a goblin's mouth, when did integrity and goblins come together? Yechen glanced at the wine stopper, this is also a guy who has not experienced any battles, his eyes are blinking wildly, he is at a loss, and he does not have the cheekiness and composure that a cunning businessman should have.

Yechen said: "Of course I know this, I have always admired the Jiusai family's way of being a person and doing business, so I won't shout it out." ”

Still shouting loudly? No, if you let the family know that you have messed up the business here, it will never come out. This woman is obviously here to blackmail, but what can she do? The wine stopper said with some frustration: "What do you want?" Otherwise, I'll give you all this jar of moonshine fruit wine. ”

Yechen pushed the wine jar away and said, "There's no need for it, I just want to find out a few news." ”

As soon as he heard that there was no need for compensation, the wine stopper's face swept away the previous frustration, and said happily: "You said, I will tell you absolutely everything I know in detail." ”

Yechen said: "I'm in a little trouble and want to hire some people, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't do this, although many teams will come here to sign agreements when they need to cooperate, but this is not under my control, our Wine Stopper Hotel only provides a venue." ”

Yechen said, "Even then, isn't it okay? As he spoke, he put the pirate scimitar that he had asked the dwarven undead to forge on the bar.

"This ...... This is...... Blackwater pirates? The wine stopper pointed to the scimitar and said tremblingly, the reputation of the Blackwater pirates is too bad, especially for those of them who are traveling outside the country, the Blackwater pirates bring too much fear, like a nightmare, "What are you trying to do here?" "Blackwater pirates are wanted by the whole world, and I didn't expect to meet such a notorious guy in my hotel.

Yechen stroked the scimitar and said, "I didn't plan to do anything, I just wanted to find a helper." ”

At this moment, a sexy, scantily clad woman walked over, she had long black naturally curly hair, and was wearing a black tight-fitting leather jacket, outlining delicate curves, and the complex textures of the leather jacket could be faintly seen, and it looked like a pretty good piece of equipment. The woman looked at the pirate cutlass and asked, "Are you a pirate?" Although he was asking, his tone was quite firm.

Yechen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The woman continued, "Are you Blackwater Island?" ”

Yechen also generously admitted and said, "You guessed right. ”

The woman said, "Your scimitar is dead." ”

Yechen glanced at her and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The woman said regretfully: "This scimitar has not killed anyone, the knife that has not killed people is just a broken copper and iron, I am very curious about the Blackwater pirates, this time it is really an honor to see the pirate scimitar that has plunged countless people into deep fear, but it is a pity that the first time I saw it was already dead." ”

Yechen suddenly realized and said: "That's it, it's just that this knife is not a person, a person is a hundred when he dies, but the knife can live younger and younger." ”

The woman smiled and said, "That's true, hello, I'm Ella, it's nice to meet you." ”

Yechen held her hand slightly and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Ella said, "I just heard that you plan to hire helpers?" ”

Yechen said, "Yes, I'm in a bit of trouble, and I hope to get some extra help." ”

Ella whispered, "What do you think of me?" (To be continued.) )
