Chapter 43: The Lost Book (2)
Wu Hao didn't find Qiu Yue, at least not in his bedroom.
He looked at the swarthy closet and had a rough guess. Perhaps the system divided Wu Hao and Qiu Yue into two places according to their mysterious values, one in the space where Wu Hao is now, and the other in what the system says...... Mirror world.
Let's take it one step at a time.
He pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.
The unexpected sunlight shook Wu Hao's eyes, and the bedroom door was facing the window of the living room. The layout of the living room is sloppy and messy, with two bags of garbage thrown at the door and food scraps left on the dining table. A few flies crouched on the table and didn't move, perhaps it was too hot.
The smell was stinking, and Wu Hao couldn't help but cover his nose.
"Wu Hao."
He heard someone calling himself, an old woman in her fifties and sixties.
Wu Hao turned his head to see that the man had just come out of the bathroom, probably just finished taking a shower, and his sparse white hair was wet and hanging on his shoulders, dripping with water. She was small, trembling when she walked, and her dark yellow skin seemed to hang from a skeleton. The old age spots that had been scorched by the heat glowed red, as ugly as rotten mushrooms. All in all, four words: extremely ugly.
Wu Hao guessed that her family identity was her grandmother. So, did she call me, did she trigger the plot?
"Wu Hao," the old woman spoke again, "what about your suspension?" β
Suspension sanctions?
Wu Hao's mind turned and asked, "What is the punishment of suspension?" β
The old woman ignored him, but said to herself: "Today the teacher and the principal will discuss whether to fire you. It's better to go to school and walk around. β
What the heck?
Wu Hao was a little confused, he didn't care about what the old woman said, but was surprised that she completely ignored the player's actions. is also a game NPC, but whether it is the maid Miss Ethel, or the ghost of ice and fire, or even the rooster man, they all stand in front of Wu Hao as if they were real people. How did this old woman design it so ...... What about simplicity?
All right. Wu Hao shrugged. Putting aside those miscellaneous thoughts, the old woman's words are really very informative. At least he knew he was a student, not an otaku who ate and waited for death. In addition, although the system did not release related tasks, Wu Hao also knew that the first step in destroying the Lost Book was to solve the troubles on his body.
For example, the matter of suspension from school.
"Old man," Wu Hao really didn't know what to call it, "you know that the school is ......"
"Do you know where the school is?" Before Wu Hao finished speaking, the old woman interjected: "Do you know where the school is?" I can take you. β

"Human imps, look what you've done to this forest!"
The sound of the giant tree roared like thunder, and Qiu Yue could feel the contempt and anger in its words.
"A mere human wouldn't dare to destroy the vegetation of the mirror world. And use sorcery to bewitch the elves of our forest! β
The murderous aura surged towards Qiu Yue, and the girl gritted her teeth to resist. She cursed in her heart. The destruction of vegetation is also because there is no open space in this forest for her to activate her skills, and the skill of parrot language is also based on the fact that birds are willing to help her, so how can it become a bewitchment? The system doesn't prohibit the use of skills in this area, right?
Anyway, Qiu Yue was ready to escape.
Huang Li, who was standing on the trunk of the tree, glanced at Qiu Yue with pity, and couldn't help but persuade the giant tree: "Things are not as ...... as you think"
"How is it not what I thought it would be!" The giant tree impatiently interrupted the oriole as it waved its trunk to drive the bird away, "Do I see more humans or do you see more humans!" β
"And you!" Its gaze suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiu Yue, who had run ten meters away, and the brown bark was stretched open with anger, revealing two large pale yellow eyes that seemed to be made of resin, "Don't want to run!" β
It tried to stop Qiu Yue's steps, and the vines and branches consciously stretched forward, like a hand with only many fingers, reaching towards Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue took a breath, she opened the inventory and took out the props. In the shadow of the giant tree, the blade of the sword suddenly appeared, like a cold light coming out of its sheath. Countless crashes sounded, the sound light and heavy. The hand of the giant tree stretched out towards Qiu Yue broke off in response.

Linkage skills.
Skills that can only be embedded in props, props with linkage skills are very rare in the entire Infinity Tower, not to mention the sword of golden cinnamon, a weapon with growth and two linkage skills. This is the weapon that Qiu Yue obtained in the second dungeon, and although she is not very clear about how to break the seal, it is not ruled out that she will use this sword as her killer weapon.
Perhaps because the seal was not broken, the Golden Cinnamon Sword was not the same golden as its name, its body was a dull gray, and only the blade shone with a cold light. The girl holds the sword in both hands, the blade of which is placed in front of her chest, which provides her with some security.
"How dare you cut me!" The brown bark of the giant tree turned green, "Just humans, dare to cut me!" β
It swung its branches, and the net grew denser, and more branches swooped down on Qiu Yue againβthe withered branches were polished into cones by the giant tree, like the tips of spears.
They also say that I destroy vegetation! Don't you destroy yourself too!
Of course, Qiu Yue only dared to slander in her heart. The girl's eyes rolled back and forth, trying to catch the gaps between the tree nets, and she ran forward with the sword of golden cinnamon in her hand, but she tripped over something and fell.
It's thorns!
She ignores the fact that the giant tree is not only a giant tree, it is also the master of the forest, and it can not only manipulate its own branches, but also command other plants to serve it, and rightfully so.
One blow worked, and more plants pounced on Qiuyue. The girl tried to run away, but the thorns got around her feet, making her unable to move. Qiu Yue had to use the last skill.
Skill: Smoke Dash
Genre: Active/Once used per playbook
Grade: C+
Effect (1): Turns into smoke while running for 1 second.
Notes: There is a legend in the fairy tale world about a brother of a debt collector named Cuphead, who is said to turn into smoke when they run.
This is the skill that Qiu Yue acquired in the third dungeon, using it Qiu Yue successfully broke free from the shackles of thorns, but as a price, the stockings under the skirt of the girl's sailor suit were torn, leaving a shocking blood stain on her fair skin, and blood gushed out.
But at this time, Qiu Yue didn't care about this, she walked forward with difficulty, but the whole forest had become a trap for the giant tree, and she seemed to hear the low, rough sneer of the guy who despised humanity.
Is that the end of it?
"Hold on to me!"
Suddenly there was a voice in my ears, like a boy of seven or eight years old. The loud and crisp call was like the trumpet of the army, and Qiu Yue's heart on the verge of despair also shook.
Who is it?
She turned her head and saw the cyclone in the forest rising suddenly, the leaves falling in a flutter, and the weeds rising from their roots and curling in the direction of their wings.
It's an extremely large owl.
The owl's brown feathers were wrapped in a whirlwind, and a large number of branches were torn apart like decay.
The owl dives downwards and brings its body close to the ground. It stretched out its front paws and approached Qiu Yue.
"Hold on to me!"
It repeats itself.
Qiu Yue didn't want to do what it said, on the one hand, the situation was really critical, and on the other hand, the other party was a bird, which also invisibly increased Qiu Yue's favor.
"Magic Eagle! You guy, you actually help humans! β
Qiu Yue heard the insult of the giant tree behind her, but as if the owl didn't hear it, it gently pecked the girl on its claws with its beak and threw it behind itself. The huge wings flapped violently, tearing a hole in the crown of the giant tree like sharp arrows, and flew into the sky.
