Chapter 36: The Gloom Behind the Orphanage
Following that strange voice, the two players saw a somewhat tall figure in front of a tombstone. www.biquge.info take a closer look, it seems to be a follower of Yongge Innocent, wearing a rather low-key robe and hood, looking like a man, his face is mostly sunk in the darkness under the hood, and he has a copper bell and a dagger hanging from his waist, and the green name displayed above his head proves that this is a player:
"Cat's Eye, Lv 4"
This man held a shovel in his hand, and dug up the soil in front of a rather tall and delicate tombstone, digging to a depth of almost three meters, and even dug out the coffin of the owner of the tomb, but he did not try to open the museum, but continued to shovel soil on both sides of this coffin.
A level 4 little spiritual cultivator, who doesn't farm monsters outside to take on tasks, how did he do tomb robbery here? And when the coffin is dug up, why don't you open the coffin, but continue to dig on both sides?
However, Yunmo only swept it slightly, and found that this tombstone and coffin were indeed strange...... It stands to reason that this place should be full of tombstones for orphanage children, but this sarcophagus is obviously not the size of a child, and there are all kinds of strange inscriptions written on the sarcophagus, which seem to be some magic inscriptions of unknown origin.
And Yunmo found that the content written on the tombstone was completely different from other simple and random tombstones:
Joshua Duncan, ages 2503 to 2653, 150 years old
Epitaph: A certain dimension sees a certain mystery, and the gray cruelty reflects the pupils of the universe"
The lower part of the tombstone is inlaid with a red gemstone, and complex symbols are painted around the gemstone, like an eye centered on a gemstone, and those eyes are lifelike, as if they are staring at you calmly all the time.
"This friend?" Han Lingsha walked directly to the pit dug by this player named "Cat's Eye" seemingly casually, and suddenly shouted at the bottom of the pit.
"Oh my god!" The man at the bottom of the pit was so frightened that the shovel in his hand came out of his hand, and then looked at the top of his head with a look of disgust, and shouted angrily: "Can you not be so startled!" I'm digging someone's grave, and there might be a dead man lying in the coffin next to me, and we're in a gloomy cemetery, and it's scary for you to scream like this! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you robbing a tomb?" Han Lingsha smiled embarrassedly, unexpectedly that this guy who looked very calm and dug the grave was actually quite weak in his heart.
"Tomb robbing? Where can I call tomb robbery in the game, I'm looking for treasure, right? How can I call it a thief when I take a prop that should belong to me? Yunmo can see clearly at this time, and the one who is looking at the top is an uncle with a scruffy beard and a gray face, about forty years old, Innocent's birth equipment is very handsome, but wearing this uncle inexplicably has a thief's atmosphere, like an idler sitting in a corner of the countryside.
"Well, even if it's a treasure hunt. But sir, since you are looking for treasure and have found the coffin of the owner of the tomb, why haven't you opened the coffin? Yunmo asked with some amusement.
"You think I don't want to open the coffin? This coffin can't be opened at all! Cat's eye kicked the sarcophagus, but the sarcophagus did not move.
"Since you can't open the coffin, why are you still digging underneath?" Han Lingsha asked curiously.
"I suspect there's some mechanism hidden here." The uncle picked up the shovel without any cover and shoveled it under the coffin, but the shovel was bounced off with a "bell", the uncle wiped the sand off the ground with both hands, revealing a white marble stone surface, and he continued to calmly wipe the sand around the coffin clean, Yunmo and Hanlingsha found that the strange sarcophagus hidden below was actually connected with a white stone ground, and it seemed that there was an extremely vast space under the coffin.
"It seems that there is really something special here...... "Yunmo said with interest, he was about to go offline, but when he encountered such a thing again, it really aroused his interest.
"Brother Cat's Eye, can you bring us on a treasure hunt? The two of us are very clever and might be able to help you a lot. Han Lingsha said with a smile, it looked like a coquettish little girl, Yunmo felt that few men could refuse her request.
"This ...... It's okay, if you want to help, even if it's all of you," the cat's eye in the pit just rolled his eyes, and he agreed unexpectedly to Yunmo, isn't he afraid that Yunmo will share the treasure that should belong to him?
"But let me first state that this treasure hunt mission itself is a legacy mission related to my faith in Innocent. I'm almost certain I'll find what I'm looking for here, but I'm afraid you'll have a hard time getting the benefits you're looking for. The uncle emphasized to Yunmo and the two seriously.
"It doesn't matter, since I'm here to play the game, I won't miss out on the necessary rewards, but I won't suffer like that, the only reason I want to join you is just that I think it's interesting." Yunmo said frankly that he came to play the game itself to find pure fun, and if he faced everything, he only considered the gains and losses and benefits. Then this game is too boring to play, even if you can't get anything here, if Yunmo solves the puzzles and mechanisms here, he will also feel quite a sense of accomplishment, and most people play games, isn't it just trying to find some sense of accomplishment in the game that can't be obtained in reality?
Uncle Maoyan couldn't find anything below, so he had to climb up with difficulty, and together with Han Lingsha and Yunmo, he casually found a wasteland to sit down, since Yunmo and Hanlingsha had "joined", and did not ask for too many benefits, the uncle did not cover up too much, and directly showed Yunmo the key task props he obtained in the trial task of birth:
"Joshua's monocle".
This rustic-looking cat-eyed uncle is not a rookie himself, and the trial dream he encountered when he first entered the game was the so-called "Nightmare Killing Field" that was completely different from Yunmo. He needs to survive six waves of monster frenzy for five minutes in a row, and finally survive the pursuit of the level 5 boss "Joshua's Secret Secret Haze".
If Yunmo's trial dream requires both wisdom and patience, and the trial dream faced by Maoyan is more of a test of reaction and will, the monsters and bosses brushed out of the map are definitely not something that you can face as a player, but at the same time, the map you are born on is also more complex and larger, with more hidden places and dead spots to hide. Players need to use a combination of the environment and their own abilities in order to survive in such a complex map, and the main purpose of this dream is to "escape" and "hide".
And after successfully escaping the boss's pursuit, the reward for Maoyan is a treasure hunt map and this weird monocle, he relied on the map to find this tombstone with monsters and traps along the way, and after determining the name of the tombstone, he got stuck here and didn't know how to proceed to the next treasure hunt. After searching aimlessly here for almost two hours, digging three feet into the ground and still finding nothing, Maoyan agreed to let Yunmo and Han Lingsha join his "treasure hunt" team, hoping to get some new ideas.
"Uncle, have you searched all the corners of this cemetery?" Han Lingsha asked, holding his chin in his hand.
"Of course, in the past two hours I have searched almost all the corners of this cemetery, and I have not found any mechanisms to interact with, nor have I seen any clues to prompt. Except for this tall tombstone, which is different from the others, and the words on it, the other tombstones are unremarkable, and they seem to be the tombstones of the children of this orphanage. Maoyan said with some headaches that being stuck here aimlessly for two hours is not a pleasant experience for a hardcore player like him.
"I don't know how to use this one-sided glasses." Cat's eye held up the delicate gold-rimmed monocle in his hand to the two new teammates, the glasses reflected a lilac glow in the moonlight, which looked quite mysterious.
"Can you show me these glasses first?" Yunmo asked politely.
Maoyan didn't hide his secrets, and happily handed the monocle to Yunmo, who checked the strange task prop.
[Joshua's monocle, a mission-critical item, binds the player's cat's eye, and cannot be abandoned or damaged.]
Joshua, the foolish magician, wore the monocle that he wore after his death and sank into the abyss with him, and legend has it that Joshua was able to see the truth through which no one else in this world could see. 】
"Can I wear these glasses? Could we be able to use it to see things we have never seen before? Yunmo asked according to the previous idea of decrypting the game.
"It didn't work, I wore it and looked at almost every corner of the cemetery, and I couldn't find the hidden elements I needed. If you think you can find something through it that I don't see, then you can try. Maoyan himself is a veteran puzzle player, and he just shrugged helplessly.
"A certain dimension sees a certain mystery, and the gray mirror reflects the pupils of the universe......" Han Lingsha squatted in front of Joshua's tombstone and read Joshua's epitaph: "Although I don't know what this epitaph refers to, there are key words 'seeing' and 'mapping', and I suspect that it is actually hinting at the usefulness of this piece of glasses." ”
