Chapter 7: The Dome Clock Tower
Qin Ran always habitually thinks about the development of things in the worst way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's not pessimistic.
Just prepare for the worst, just in case.
And every time the facts always prove the correctness of what he did.
Qin Ran, who was standing in the shadows, looked at the two players who were talking on the opposite street, and the lazy cat lying on the roof on one side.
The former is a clear whistle.
The latter is a dark whistle.
After several encounters and the possession of a retinue of fire crows, Qin Ran had considerable experience in how to distinguish the wild animals of a truly huge city.
At least, a real lazy cat doesn't always look around.
Quietly, Qin Ran retreated.
He wasn't sure if the other party was from that organization or someone from the 'brokers'.
That's right, it's a broker!
For that profiteer, Qin Ran never dared to underestimate it.
He believes that with the power of the other party, nothing can be hidden from the other party in the 'underground game', and that organization should also be among them.
Even, Qin Ran guessed that the 'brokers' were likely to contribute to it.
And the people who are here?
Qin Ran wouldn't take it to heart.
But the people who followed, he was not sure of victory.
The terrifying tactics of the sea of people, Qin Ran already knew.
What's more, Qin Ran, who had just gotten the information of 'senior above', didn't believe that there was no such person under the hands of that profiteer.
Maybe it's not much.
But it's enough for anyone to take it seriously.
Therefore, Qin Ran very simply chose to give up entering that competitor's room to find information.
Changed to a slightly more cumbersome way.
"The other party's performance is cautious, but impulsive and arrogant, so the other party may spend a certain amount of time looking for 'them', but it shouldn't be too long!"
"And under such a premise, the other party can still find 'them', in addition to a certain amount of luck, more is that the difficulty is not high, I should have thought in the wrong direction before......"
Qin Ran pondered.
Regarding the weird tattoo on the back of his right hand, Qin Ran would not ignore it.
In fact, after experiencing the so-called 'test', when those crimson lines appeared around the weird smile, Qin Ran had been trying to figure out what it was.
Also, ask Lawless to help.
But whether it is him, or lawlessness, from passwords to mysterious knowledge, etc., they have found nothing.
"It's not a password, it's not mystical knowledge...... It's a bit difficult, but most people won't notice it, and there's a hidden spot......"
"Wait, where?"
Qin Ran, who thought of something, suddenly sent a private message to Lawless.
2567: Lawlessness, is there a map of a huge city?
Lawlessness: yes, some boring guy who used to map huge cities.
Lawlessness: However, it was a few months ago, and now the newly developed areas have not yet been added to it.
2567: The old one is fine, send me a copy.
Lawlessness: Okay.
ā¦ā¦
After the private message ended, a screenshot appeared in Qin Ran's private message.
Looking at the screenshot, Qin Ran compared the red lines on the back of his hand, and the more he compared, the brighter his eyes became.
"I see!"
After a moment, Qin Ran muttered softly to himself.
ā¦ā¦
On the edge of the huge city center, there is a building that is very special to ordinary people.
The height of the six floors, divided into three sections.
The first and second floors are conjoined window sills and gates.
The third to fifth floors are supported by vertical pilasters with large stained glass.
The top floor is the most attractive part.
On one side is a large white dome that does not fit in with the apricot-colored building.
Next to the dome is a black clock minaret.
The hands ticked and ticked, and they could be heard from a distance.
Standing on the street corner, a metal sign appeared and read: Emid . 009 Ailu.
When the screenshot is folded in half twice in a row, the roads that cross and overlap form crimson lines around the weird smiley face.
And the middle point, is Emmid. 009 Ailu.
A place that players call the Dome Clock Tower.
According to the information provided by Lawless, this place used to surprise players who were new to underground games, after all, the four different buildings were really eye-catching.
However, as time went on, more players poured in, more strange buildings appeared, and the place gradually became forgotten.
As for who the players are here?
Since the death of the original master, players who have been distracted have not paid attention.
Even a well-rounded player like Lawless doesn't know.
In Qin Ran's eyes at this moment, this is undoubtedly a means to conceal himself.
Standing in the shadows, Qin Ran looked around for a moment, and after remembering everything in his mind, he stepped out of the shadows and walked towards the gate.
The sound of private messages kept ringing.
You don't need to look at Qin Ran to know that the private message comes from lawlessness.
For the request of his friends to go together, Qin Ran refused.
Not only because he is used to being alone, but also because of his lawless character flaws.
He had no way of guaranteeing that he would be able to keep his friend safe and sound when he was sick.
Therefore, Qin Ran knew that he needed to speed up.
With that guy's character, he should be rushing here regardless of this time.
Bell, bell!
Standing at the door that was connected to the first floor and the second floor, which looked very tall, Qin Ran raised his hand and picked up the door knocker and knocked lightly a few times.
With the crisp impact of the copper ring and the iron sheet on the door panel, the door slowly opened.
After passing through the fog that covered the room, Qin Ran's eyes suddenly brightened.
Thirty-three four-story crystal lamps hang from the ceiling, illuminating the hall of nearly 1,000 square meters.
The black and white bright color, like the floor of a chessboard, is so clean that it reflects Qin Ran's appearance.
Directly opposite the main door, a Y-shaped staircase divides into two sides leading to the second floor.
In front of the stairs on the left side of the first floor, there stands a puppet in a small dress.
Or puppets to be precise.
But this puppet was far more 'real' than any puppet Qin Ran had ever seen, not only in terms of behavior, but also in wisdom.
"Hello, Your Excellency 2567!"
"My master and I have been waiting for a long time!"
"Please come with me!"
The puppet's mouth opened up and down, and a voice came from inside, making a gesture of please.
Then, the golem walked towards the side of the stairs behind him.
At this time, Qin Ran realized that behind the other party, at the corner under the stairs, there was a small door.
Squeak!
The golem raised his hand and pushed the door open.
Walked straight in.
Qin Ran didn't follow up.
He stopped, stood still, his gaze scanning the dark doorway.
Then, as soon as he turned around, he walked towards the stairs.
