180. Familiar strangers
【Mukef Top Floor】
[Description: As you learn more about the city, clues suggest that Brea is not a real world, but more of an illusory utopia, and that the truth may be hidden on the top floor of the Mukov Building.] Now, it's time to travel to that most sublime place, which symbolizes the city of Brea, and tear the veil of all camouflage apart......]
[Objective: Go to the top floor of the Mukov Building in downtown Brea.] 】
……
Even if he didn't have this main quest, Bai Ye would have found a way to go to the Mukev Mansion, and he was full of curiosity about the 'hidden treasure' marked by the 'explorer' personality.
Now jumping out of such a main quest is in Bai Ye's arms.
About Bill, who died in front of him......
There are still a lot of doubts about this character.
The biggest suspicion is that Bill's mind is not governed by the Mukoff Company, and the reason for this is that Bill himself explained that it is because he was born and raised in the city of Brea.
But if you want to dig deeper into this, then Bill's parents must also have anomalies.
Because the other NPCs in this scene are fixed, they will not grow and change over time, and there is no natural reproduction function, they are more like puppets made in batches by the system factory.
The fact that Bill's parents were able to reproduce is in itself an unusual sign.
So, what kind of secrets exist in Bill's parents? Who are they?
"Ruling out the possibility that they're being played by players."
At first, Bai Ye had such a guess, after all, Bill's intelligence level was not at the same level as other NPCs, and in many ways it was no different from a real person.
But as far as he knows, this game currently does not have the likes of "getting married" or "having a baby", and it seems that it is only a popular game feature in the past 2D turn-based online games.
This speculation simply cannot be found.
"So they can only be NPCs, but they are one level higher than the NPCs in the current scenario."
Bai Ye thought so, and turned to look at the location where Bill had been looking at before he died.
It was a black trench coat hanging on the wall, and it seemed to be the one that Bill had worn when the two met for the second time.
stepped forward and searched for the windbreaker, and Bai Ye took out a card and a photo from the pocket of the windbreaker.
When picking up a card, there is an item prompt in the system, but not when picking up a photo.
That card is the elevator card to the fiftieth floor of the Mukefu Building, Bai Ye remembers that the entire Mukefu Building seems to be more than fifty floors, this elevator card may not be able to send Bai Ye to the top floor of the building, but it should also be able to send him to the vicinity of the top floor.
Bai Ye went to look at the photo again, the photo was a group photo of a family of three, the child in the middle looked about ten years old, grinning very sweetly, and looked very similar to Bill as an adult.
The woman standing on the left looks ordinary, so ordinary that people will forget it at a glance, but the man on the right ...... Bai Ye actually felt quite familiar!
"Where do you think you've seen it?"
The man in the photo has a black shiny back, his face is pale, his facial features are upright, and he looks dignified.
He wears a white shirt and black waistcoat on his upper body, his hands are naturally resting on Bill's shoulders, his waist is straight, his posture is upright, and his face is full of happiness.
Bai Ye flipped the photo to the back and looked at it, and noticed that there was a name written on the back of the photo - Bill Gruskin.
"Gruskin? This surname is also very familiar......"
Bai Ye touched his chin and tried to recall, but there was still no result.
There was a strange feeling in my head, as if I was about to recall it, but it was always a little bit worse.
"Take it with you, maybe you'll remember it later."
He had a strange premonition that if he could recall the identity of this man, he might be able to help him in the rest of the game.
……
After coming out of Bill's secret stronghold, Bai Ye glanced towards the towering Mukefu Mansion in the distance.
"Just get to the top and uncover the truth here?"
He looked at the elevator card in his hand and put it in his bag.
"I don't know what other monsters are waiting for me up there."
Walking along the gloomy alley, after reaching the end of the alley, a large square appeared in front of you.
The square is empty, but in the center of the square is unusually placed a puppet riding a children's tricycle.
The puppet had a grim face with white Shen characters, two swirls were painted with red paint on the raised cheekbones, and a pair of red scleral eyes were firmly staring at the direction where Bai Ye was standing - this was one of the symbols of the chainsaw door - the puppet 'Billy'!
When Bai Ye entered the small square, the puppet 'Billy''s mouth immediately opened and closed, emitting its signature 'woo-woo-hahaha~' weird laughing sound.
"Uh...... I seem to be in big trouble. ”
Seeing this strange situation, Bai Ye did not hesitate to pull out his two mountaineering pickaxes.
Then the attack appeared from less than five meters to his right, and a disciple wearing a black and red robe and a pig-faced mask with the iconic Chainsaw Gate on his head flew towards Bai Ye, his speed was fast, the cold light on his right hand flickered, and the Hidden Blade was already unsheathed.
"Is it from Henry's faction?"
There was a deep scratch on the pig-faced mask, which was one of the characteristics of the disciples of Henry Wilson's faction.
Bai Ye's reaction speed was not slow, and he hurriedly moved sideways, and easily dodged this blow.
Immediately following a roll on the spot, he pulled away from his target by nearly five meters.
The disciples who ambushed Bai Ye did not chase, but just stood in place, their eyes under the mask were looking at Bai Ye from a distance, their eyes were like needles, with the meaning of judgment.
The attacker was tall and had no left sleeve, and his true identity was revealed......
The other party didn't want to hide his identity, and lifted the mask on his face with one arm, revealing Henry Wilson's unruly face.
"I'm really blind!"
Although Henry's face was expressionless, there was anger in his tone: "You would actually think that people like you will be the future of the chainsaw door." ”
"Then I really thank you for your admiration for me."
Bai Ye began to urge his heart to beat faster, and at the same time replied tepidly to Henry.
"Anyone who dares to oppose Mukov is a sworn enemy of the Chainsaw Gate!"
Henry's tone began to grow cold, "Traitor, you'll pay the price soon." ”
"What are you doing with so much nonsense, who is dead and who is alive and unconscious."
Bai Ye directly cut off Henry's words and threw a 'identification' at Henry.
But bad luck and failure to identify.
"Mukov is supreme!"
Henry Wilson stroked his chest with one hand, shouted with a reverent expression, and then his eyes flashed, and he started on the spot, rushing towards Bai Ye as fast as lightning, and there were actually strings of afterimages behind him.
