Chapter 18: An Unexpected Reunion

When he opened his eyes, the strange and familiar white light made Gu Mo twitch imperceptibly from the corner of his mouth, and a gentle female voice came from beside him.

"Doctor, you can't rest yet."

"You've got a lot of work to do."

“......”

Feeling some liver pain subtly, Gu Moli slowly crawled out of the bed.

Waiting for Gu Moli on the side was a woman in a white coat, with long blond hair draped behind her head, holding a folder in her hand, wearing glasses, and looking at Gu Moli with a worried face: "Doctor? I'm sorry, but it's a bit urgent, so I forcibly woke you up....."

Gu Mo rolled away from his eyes.

“..... Never mind. ”

"What is it? If it's urgent, show it to me first. ”

"Yes!"

The blonde woman immediately took out a document from the folder on her chest and handed it to Gu Moli, thank God, Gu Moli could understand the words on the document.

The content of the file is simple.

On the photo that was attached, there was a firmly closed stone gate, and there were countless mysterious patterns on the door that made Gu Moli feel a little familiar, and on both sides of the stone gate, there were rows and rows of modern soldiers, who were holding various high-tech instruments to detect the stone gate.

And below the photo, there is an introduction to this thing.

"Tombs from the primeval era?"

"Found in the Samara Desert, even if you use laser weapons, there is no way to open it, the material of the stone gate is also a special substance that has never been seen before, the only clue is a string of words engraved on the stone gate, but the military archaeologists are at a loss for these words.....

"Yes."

At this moment, the blonde woman answered: "That's why the government sent you a message to the doctor, hoping that you can go to the Samara Desert and assist the government in deciphering the information on the stone gate, which should play a vital role in opening the stone gate and exploring the tomb behind it." ”

"I see."

After roughly figuring out the situation, Gu Moli muttered in a low voice.

"Doctor?"

“.... Can you go out first? Gu Moli glanced at the name tag on the blonde woman's chest when he said this, and then continued very naturally: "..... Excuse me, Susan. ”

"How so!"

Susan hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm a Ph.D. graduate student, these are trivial things.... Doctor, the person who came to pick you up is already waiting outside, do you want to prepare first? ”

"To the Samara Desert?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Gu Moli nodded: "I'll change my clothes, you let them wait for me for a few minutes." ”

"Okay."

Susan smiled charmingly, then turned and left the room.

After Susan left, Gu Moli was relieved.

Finally recovered from the violent shock.

"Hell, what 404 Forbidden, scare Lao Tzu..... This system is quite skinny. ”

glanced at the game panel, and the three blood-red characters on the detached conditions were very eye-catching.

【Survive】

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony.... The 24-character mantra of socialism protects me, and I am now a state civil servant, and this game will not kill people, and no matter how real it is, it will not frighten me. ”

Shaking his head, Gu Moli took a deep breath and finally took action.

He first walked over to the room's large floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Reflected in the mirror is a middle-aged man who looks a little handsome, his face is wrinkled, but he does not look old, but has a kind of maturity and stability accumulated over the years, wearing a black and gray suit, with black leather gloves and a top hat, plus a detective cane in his hand.

He looks like an old English gentleman from the seventies.

"Uh-huh."

"It seems that this time, like Seti City, the player is also playing other roles."

"But if I'm fifty, I'll be more handsome than that."

After a brief evaluation, Gu Moli turned around and began to inspect the entire room, although the system had just played a bad joke on him, but in fact it proved that this thing was still very reliable, and even the wardrobe had a special dressing system to avoid players from taking off their clothes manually.

And when you want to do that, the system will also kindly pop up a prompt

[The company resolutely rejects any yellow elements, please do not make similar actions]

Look, how reliable this system is.

"Doctor? Okay? ”

"Wait a minute!"

After dealing with Susan outside the door, Gu Moli hurriedly continued to sweep the room: "You have to hurry...."

Gu Moli first searched the desk that occupied the most area in the room and the bookshelf behind it, followed by the bed next to it, and then various decorations such as paintings and vases.

Eventually, he found a notebook, a pocket pistol, and a key with rust still on it.

..............

[Item: Someone's notebook]

[Quality: tattered]

[Equipment Requirements: None]

[Quest Item: This is a diary of a very old man, recording the life of one of your friends, but at first glance it looks like a bunch of disordered text, and it seems that some special means are needed to see its true contents, but you still haven't found a way to decipher it]

..............

[Item: Pocket Revolver]

[Quality: Normal]

[Equipment Requirements: None]

[Quest item: You will always carry this small pistol with you, this is a habit that has been developed for ten years, believe me, every old gentleman should have a small pistol like this, but unfortunately, this gun only has one bullet left, maybe it would be good to replace it?] 】

...............

[Item: Key]

[Quality: tattered]

[Equipment Requirements: None]

[Quest Item: A key that can open a certain door]

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Moli first picked up the rusty key, which was a very ancient key, hanging on a somewhat large round keychain, Gu Moli took it to the keyhole of his door, and then nodded: "This is a useless prop!" ”

That's right.

This key is the study key of the old British gentleman that Gu Moli is now playing.

Putting the key in his pocket, Gu Moli picked up the pocket revolver, there was indeed only one bullet in it, but it was better to have a bullet than no bullet, so Gu Moli still put it away and put it in the pocket of the suit for internal testing, and finally it was the notebook that was a little old.

"Ahh

Gu Moli flipped through his notebook, and there was indeed only a bunch of disordered texts: "If only there was a decryption card of the Little Tigers." ”

"Doctor?"

Susan's voice came from outside the door: "Are you alright?" ”

"That's it!"

Gu Mo answered, put away the notebook, then picked up the detective's cane, tidied up his collar, and pushed open the door and walked out, and outside the door, Susan was standing side by side with another middle-aged man, and hurriedly walked up after seeing Gu Mo leaving.

"Doctor."

Susan stretched out her hand to the middle-aged man behind her: "Let me introduce you, this is Officer Jack sent by the government to pick you up, and he was only recently transferred here..."

"Hmm!"

In fact, you don't have to wait for Susan's introduction.

Gu Moli recognized the other party at first sight, and it was precisely because of this that he almost couldn't hide his stunned expression.

That's right.

This Officer Jack.

It's actually a novice script, the sheriff of Seti City in "Four Detectives"!
