"Are you ready?" Maya stood up and raised her hands, a faint glow appearing on them.

Su Ke also stood up and waited: "I'm fine, let's start." ”

Mayer stepped forward, her glowing hands tapping lightly on the hologram in the middle of the room.

Suddenly, the image shook like water, and in the very center of the ripple, a hole of light appeared with rotating edges.

Mei Ya explained carefully: "The rules quoted in the fighting arena are all from the Dao, and the two seem to be a little different on the surface, but in fact, the difference is only the superficial technique, and the deeper rules are the same. I'm using a technique that is only used by the lurkers, called: Winding Paths to the Dark. ”

"Lurkers? A thief's self-proclaimed? Su Ke asked.

"Yes. The title of thief is from heaven, with contempt, which is not very good. In fact, when you enter the lurker circle for a while, you will find that the circle is not as big as you think, many people have actually met each other, dealt with each other, and both sides know each other. For example, the dragon head, he is nicknamed 'big knife' in the circle. ”

Maya played the role of guide, and Su Ke listened carefully, remembering all this in his heart.

At this time, the light hole on the hologram had expanded to a full person's height, and Maya stepped into the light gate first: "Follow me." ”

Su Ke hurriedly followed.

Behind the light gate is a long dark passage, somewhat similar to the situation in the Tao, but this passage appears more silent and dark, giving people a deep silence, a terrifying sense of hell.

The passage was a bit long, there was no light ahead, and there were frequent turns, with several passages at each turn.

Su Ke felt like he was walking in an intricate labyrinth, and after advancing for about half a minute, he couldn't help but ask, "How long is it?" ”

Maya explained softly: "This technique was created by a senior in the circle and contributed it. It uses very fine data algorithms, and when logging into the game, it uses all randomly generated paths, so it can't be tracked, and so far there have been no accidents. Because the algorithm is extremely complex, and in order to take care of security, the channel will continue to extend for more than five minutes. If you have any questions during this time, just ask me. ”

Su Ke felt a little relieved in his heart, thought about it, and asked, "That dragon head, do you have any specific information about him?" ”

Mei Ya shook her head slightly: "I know some, but not much." I know that he is a member of the Tianyi Sect, and he cultivates the Moon Wheel Heart Sutra, and the rest of the information is all vague hearsay. You know, each lurker is extremely secretive, so we only know about each other's existence, and more specific information is difficult to hear. ”

"Understood." Su Ke nodded, the thief can't see the light, what he asks for is secrecy, if a thief's hole cards are exposed, he will not be far from being caught.

"Just now you said that there are seniors who contributed spells, what do you say?" Su Ke asked again, he was very interested in the technique of 'winding paths to the secluded'.

"The Infiltrator has a stronghold on the virtual network, and there will be seniors in it to share some basic experience, which is all free. I'll send you the coordinates of the colony later. Once you're in the stronghold, you'll have to remember one principle: talk less, see more, observe more, and do more. This will keep you from being noticed. Lurkers don't need attention. ”

What Mei Ya said was solemn and reasonable, and Su Ke accepted it humbly.

There was another big bend in the passage ahead, and after the bend was a straight road with a bright light at the end.

"There's an exit ahead. One of the drawbacks of the Twisted Path is that its algorithm is too complex and the path is chosen randomly, so the exit location is also random. When we go out, we will exist in the form of unlawful spirits, and you know that spirits are vulnerable."

There is no need for Mei Ya to say the rest of the words, Su Ke also understands that in case of a bright sun or a terrifying weather such as a thunderstorm or a thunderstorm, their spirit bodies will naturally be finished on the spot, and then they will be kicked out of the game.

The thief is doing something illegal, not a player, not a warlock, and is completely unprotected by the law. According to the saying in "Dao", it is a lonely soul and a wild ghost, not favored by heaven, and deserves to die.

"What if I get kicked?" When he really came into contact with the world of thieves, Su Ke felt that everything was not as good as he imagined.

"If you get kicked, you do it again, there's always a time when you're lucky. What a thief needs most is patience. Maya looked right, she must have encountered a similar situation I don't know how many times.

As he spoke, the exit was already in front of him, Mei Ya was in front and Su Ke was behind, and the two rushed out of the passage.

As soon as he went out, Su Ke felt a burst of heat all over his body, as if there was a fire burning his body, and before he could react, it was dark in front of him, and then he found that he had returned to the room of "Fighting Arena".

Turning her head to look at her side, Mei Ya was also there, she shrugged her shoulders and sighed: "Count us unlucky, the light just now is sunshine, and the exit location is just the sun shining." ”

"Why don't you choose to log in at night?" Su Ke was puzzled, there was no risk of landing at night.

"The night is not good, everyone knows that the night is safe, so the heavenly court and the art world are paying attention to it, but it is not safe. Compared to a failed login, being targeted by them is a real problem. Mayer explained.

"I see."

"Now go ahead." Maya unleashed the Twisted Path Spell again.

The same light gate, the same long path, Su Ke found that this path was indeed randomly generated, and this time the path was completely different from the previous one.

About five minutes later, the exit arrived, and this time the light seemed much darker than the last.

Mei Yaxi said: "Luckily, it should be cloudy outside, but it's still not safe, when you go out, you follow me!" ”

"Understood." Su Ke nodded.

The two of them rushed out of the passage, and it was indeed cloudy outside, and the thick clouds in the sky obscured the blazing sun, although the ambient energy was still more agitated than the night, but it was finally able to maintain the existence of the spirit.

"Hurry, hurry! Follow me, the wind is starting to rise, it is expected to rain, we have to find a place to hide quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous! ”

When it rains, there is a possibility of thunder, which is a terrifying energy surge that is even more terrifying than the blazing sun, and when a thunder falls, basically all the spirits within a radius of dozens of miles will be scattered, and at the same time, the consciousness will be damaged.

Maya urged urgently, she walked fast in front of her, and the almost transparent spiritual body was torn to the ground by the elders, almost becoming a silk thread, and the place where the body passed was a whistling yin wind, fortunately, it was the windy weather before the rain, and this yin wind was not noticeable.

Su Ke used to be a warlock, and he had always logged in in the safe night, and he didn't have much concept of protecting the spirit, so he didn't know how to deal with it at this time, so he could only follow closely behind Maya.

Maya kept going, and in an instant she had crossed several kilometers of the road, when a large river appeared in front of her, and one section of the river was particularly spacious, and the water was slow and black, and it was dark and heavy.

Maya was overjoyed: "What a shelter! ”

She plunged headlong into the big river, Su Ke didn't find that this shelter was there, the water was flowing, and there were all kinds of whirlpool undercurrents, these were all energy interferences, if he wasn't careful, he would be finished, and when he was a warlock in the past, he never entered the water, and he never entered the water.

But at this time, he was a thief, and he had no choice but to follow Maya and plunge into the river.

Before entering the water, Su Ke thought that the surrounding environment would become cold and biting, but after entering the water, Su Ke was surprised to find that his spirit body actually felt a burst of warmth, and the cold feeling that was originally reflected in his mind when he was traveling in the wind was actually reduced a lot.

The surrounding water was like a pair of gentle hands, gently caressing his spirit, which made him feel a little comfortable.

"Strange." It was completely different from what he had imagined before.

This section of the river was very deep, at least twenty meters, and Maya kept digging into the bottom of the river, and when she reached the bottom of the river, she searched left and right, and finally found a deep pit with a very smooth flow, and then stopped.

"Did you think it was dangerous in the water?" She asked Su Ke with a smile on her face full of surprise.

Su Ke acquiesced, looked at Mei Ya, and waited for her explanation.

"Water, especially deep water, has a constant bottom temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and very gentle energy fluctuations, so it's very safe. You think, life is born in water from the beginning, animal larvae are also soaked in amniotic fluid before birth, more than 70% of the human body is water, and the internal environment in the body can be said to be a water environment. This all shows the stability of the water. ”

Su Ke nodded again and again.

"However, it is not only the bottom of the water that is stable, but also the depths of the caves, the inside of the trees, and so on. I chose this big river for another important purpose. And guess what? Mei Ya looked at Su Ke and smiled.

Su Ke was stunned for a moment, thinking back to what he saw before entering the water, there were several villages not far from the river, and remembering the purpose of Mei Ya taking him to sneak into the Dao this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Could it be that you are going to launch a stand-in technique here?" ”

Mei Ya's smile became thicker and she nodded slightly: "Guessed right." Because of this technique, there is a legend of 'substitute ghosts' among ordinary players, among which drowned ghosts are looking for the most stand-ins, which actually have roots. ”

“”

actually wanted to find a stand-in in the river, Su Ke was speechless.

"We still have a lot of work to do, and it's not so easy to find a stand-in. Next, I do it, you learn. ”

"Understood!"
