Chapter 115: A long-lost mission
The dark night, the boiling paradise, the silent folk village.
As a well-known Internet celebrity boss, Xu Lang quietly took Qin Xiaolu to the uninhabited folk village in order to keep a low profile and not attract the attention of tourists.
"Boss, what's going on with you?" Huang Xinxin has always been most concerned about Xu Lang's whereabouts, and at this moment she appeared silently in the folk village.
"Ahh Qin Xiaolu was startled by the sudden sound, and the stone in his arms almost fell.
Xu Lang shone a flashlight at Huang Xinxin beside him, and introduced: "She is Huang Xinxin who manages the Styx ferry, you should have seen it before in the park." ”
"Hey, Shin Shin." Qin Xiaolu came back to his senses and greeted him warmly.
Huang Xinxin was a little dazed when she heard Xu Lang say those words, and now when she saw Qin Xiaolu greeting her, she was directly stunned in surprise: "Can you see me?" ”
Ghost employees are ghosts after all, and tourists can see them when they are working, but when they are not working, they like to return to their original state, which is the state of ordinary ghosts.
In this state, ordinary people cannot see or hear their voices.
The current Huang Xinxin is in this state.
"Yes!" Qin Xiaolu said happily, "Not only now, but I can also see it in the future!" ”
"When I came to the park to see you before, I wondered, where did Xu Lang recruit such good-looking and capable employees, I didn't expect you to be ghosts!"
She said that the second half of her sentence seemed to be a little discriminatory, and quickly explained to Huang Xinxin: "I don't look down on ghosts......"
Who knew that before the words were finished, Huang Xinxin smiled and took her arm.
When others praised her for her good looks, she was of course happy: "Since you can see us, you should come to the park more often!" Let me tell you, those people who come to the park every day are very timid, and they are scared of me every time......"
"Really? But I'm not afraid at all. ”
"yes, so ......"
Xu Lang saw that the two of them were chatting as if there was no him, so he quickly interrupted the two of them: "Okay, you two will have more time to chat in the future, let's get down to business first." ”
Huang Xinxin learned that they were doing a task, and she pouted twice aggrievedly and disappeared.
Xu Lang used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the Yin/Door Stone that was waiting under the crooked neck tree, and asked, "Qin Xiaolu, have you seen the stone in front of you?" Isn't it similar to yours? ”
"Huh? It really looks like it. Qin Xiaolu looked at it and exclaimed, "Are they together?" ”
"It should be...... Yin/Door Stone, come here, I'll find you the other half. Xu Lang shouted at Yin/Door Stone.
However, the half of the Yin/Door Stone didn't react at all, and not only that, but the stone in Qin Xiaolu's arms didn't react either.
"It shouldn't be......"
Xu Lang was a little puzzled, "If it's a friend, then it should be very happy to see each other, if it's an enemy, then it should also be an enemy who is very angry when they meet, how can there be no reaction at all?" ”
"Hey, you two, love each other or kill each other, give me a chance, I worked hard to get both of you here. What kind of child's temper? Xu Lang was a little angry when he thought of all the things that had happened to the Yin/Door Stone before.
Qin Xiaolu didn't get angry, but touched half of the stone in his arms like a little doll, and asked softly, "Do you want to go and see it?" Don't you want it? ”
As the words fell, the Yin Stone Elf in her arms trembled visibly, but regained her composure.
Qin Xiaolu was overjoyed, hugged the stone, and walked towards the Yin/Door Stone.
At first, it was no problem, but after taking a few steps, an invisible force blocked her, making it difficult for her to move an inch.
Xu Lang watched from afar and soon discovered that the two sides could not get close to this problem.
He scratched his head a little irritably, he had been busy for so long, and he saw that the task was about to succeed, but he was stuck.
Task?
I can find a system!
Xu Lang contacted the system in his mind without changing his face: "Player Xu Lang called the system, the task was blocked, can you give some hints?" ”
"Hello player, the hint has already been given." The system simply left this sentence and then disappeared.
Xu Lang was a little depressed, what does it mean to "give it a long time ago"?
There is only Qin Xiaolu in the task prompt, is the key still on her?
Xu Lang pondered and meditated, and simply sat on the dilapidated bench next to him, his eyes going back and forth between the two stones.
"Huh? That's not right. ”
He looked at the Yin/Gate Stone that he had brought back from Yin/Gate Village, and because of his blood, the word "Yue" was formed, which was exactly half of the word "Yin".
However, the Yin Stone Elf obtained from the ghost market is clean and there is nothing on it.
"Do you mean ......?"
Xu Lang suddenly had an idea, beckoned to Qin Xiaolu, and said, "Qin Xiaolu, come and sit down, I have something to tell you!" ”
Qin Xiaolu walked over and sat down: "What's the matter?" ”
"Because you couldn't see the ghost before, just an ordinary policeman, plus Deputy Director Li's instructions, I didn't plan to tell you about the affairs of Yin/Gate Village, but now it seems that I have to tell you." Xu Lang said with a serious face.
Qin Xiaolu curled his mouth and was slightly angry: "I know, you are hiding a lot of things from me, hurry up!" ”
Xu Lang talked about the affairs of Yin/Men Village, of course, he still concealed the system and the woman he saved was Zhang Liying.
"That's the way it is, although I don't know why they can't fit together, but now there is a way......" Xu Lang said again about the matter of his blood being fused into the stone, "Either that, you make your own decisions, this is your blood after all." ”
"What's the matter? Bring a knife. Qin Xiaolu said very dryly.
Xu Lang didn't expect her to be so refreshing, so he quickly took out a folding knife from his trouser pocket and handed it over.
Qin Xiaolu took the knife and slashed it towards his wrist when he opened it.
"What are you doing? I'm asking you to get some blood out, not letting you kill yourself by cutting your wrists! Xu Lang was taken aback, and quickly grabbed her hand, "Just pick a finger that you don't use often." ”
Qin Xiaolu snorted, "You said it earlier!" You only said that your face was covered with blood at that time, and the woman you saved was scared and fainted, and I didn't think it would take a lot of blood! ”
After she finished speaking, she walked over to the half of the stone without words and crouched down, and slashed the little finger of her left hand, dripping blood onto the stone.
In an instant, the Yin Stone Elf's whole body trembled, and a "Yu" appeared.
Boom......
Before the two of them could react, the two stones had merged and turned into a sphere, which was exactly what the stone in the picture given by the system before!
"Xu, Xu Lang, what's going on?" Qin Xiaolu was stunned when he saw this scene.
Xu Lang was about to explain, when a dialog box appeared in his mind.
"Congratulations to the player, the 'other half' task is completed, and you will get the reward 'two-in-one', may I ask, do you want to claim the reward?"
"Two in one? How does this name resemble the name of the task? Xu Lang frowned, "Since it's a reward, of course I want it." ”
"The mission reward has been awarded, please check."
Xu Lang looked at his hands, one hand was empty, the other hand was holding a flashlight, and there was no change, and then he looked around again, and then said in his heart: "Nothing, I said system, can we be serious?" Don't you want to tell me that the reward this time is Qin Xiaolu, let me be two in one with her, right? ”
It's no wonder that Xu Lang thinks so, the key to this task is Qin Xiaolu, he controls half of the stones brought back from Yin/Men Village, and Qin Xiaolu controls half of the stones brought back from the ghost market. Now, the two stones have been combined, is it that he and Qin Xiaolu also want to merge?
According to the virtue of the system, this kind of thing can really be done.
Qin Xiaolu didn't hear Xu Lang's answer, so he shifted his gaze from the spherical stone not far away to Xu Lang, and saw that he was stunned, and then inexplicably took a flashlight to shine around.
"Xu Lang? What happened to you? As she asked, she seemed to have thought of something, and smiled with a crooked eye, and said with some schadenfreude, "You won't be scared too, will you?" Unexpectedly, the owner of the dignified late-night park was frightened in his own park. ”
Xu Lang said categorically: "How could I be scared!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something had changed in the folk village, and before he could react, there was another message from the system in his mind.
"Congratulations to the player, because by completing the mission of the 'other half', you have successfully triggered the continuous hidden mission 'The Strongest Ghost on the Surface'."
"The first step of the consecutive mission: the ancient well that oozes blood. (Completed)"
"Consecutive Mission Step 2: Seal the Ancient Well."
"Difficulty: Easy."
"Mission limit: five minutes."
"Mission Reward: Unknown."
Xu Lang was stunned, the strongest ghost on the surface? He almost forgot about this continuous hidden mission.
When the system was upgraded before, he and Qin Xiaolu went to find Captain Chen to understand the truth about the Nantang Forest Farm back then, and completed the first step of the task. Then, he didn't succeed in triggering the second step, and gradually, because other tasks appeared, he forgot about it.
"Five minutes? it! Xu Lang saw the task limit and scolded his mother directly, "Gujing is in Nantang Forest Farm, far away from here, how can it be completed in five minutes?" Damn, the difficulty of the task is actually 'easy', is it difficult, I can teleport? ”
"Special note: Players should pay attention to the fact that the quest has already started timed, and I believe that as long as you think carefully, you will definitely find a solution to the problem."
"I believe you have a hammer!" Xu Lang replied, "I knew that I wouldn't let you upgrade, but after upgrading, I knew that it would be difficult for me!" ”
After Xu Lang finished scolding, he felt a little more comfortable, the task still has to be done, and now he has to crack the real content of this task first.
His mind was racing:
"The first step has been completed a long time ago, but the second step has not been triggered, so the sudden appearance of the second step task must be related to the task that has just been completed. In other words, the key to sealing the ancient well lies in this stone that has been merged. And the reward I got just now is 'two-in-one', what exactly is this 'two-in-one'? ”
Xu Lang felt that since the system had issued rewards and there was no change in himself, it should be in the park.
You have to find the reward before you can plan for the next step.
Thinking so, he gave instructions to the system in his mind: "System, activate the real-time dynamics of the Ghost King Palace." ”
In an instant, many sub-pictures appeared in my mind, and every floor and every corner of the Ghost King Hall was clearly visible.
"Nothing new?"
Xu Lang checked it carefully, and didn't see the latest thing, that is, the reward was not in the Ghost King Palace.
"Wait, it's only five minutes, and the reward can't be far away...... That's on my side. ”
"The system, with me as the coordinates, has a range of a hundred meters, and starts real-time dynamics."
"Hello players, real-time dynamics may cause damage to the brain, it is recommended that you preset a range of thirty meters......"
"I said, a hundred meters in range!" Xu Lang said eagerly in his heart.
Only five minutes is obviously not enough, only to take risks, this point, he understands better than anyone else.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lang felt a little dizzy, and at the same time, the picture in his mind also changed, and the real-time pictures within a radius of one hundred meters appeared.
The picture did appear, but it was all pitch black and couldn't be seen clearly at all.
"Shin Shin, Shin Shin, go turn on the lights in the folk village, hurry up!" Xu Lang withdrew from the system and shouted into the air, "Open it all!" ”
Then, he connected to the system again, paying close attention to every image in his head.
Qin Xiaolu stood aside, watching Xu Lang's face change, and then suddenly shouted, feeling a little inexplicable. She didn't know what was going on, so she could only stand on the sidelines and be in a hurry.
Although the Folk Village has ceased business, but the power supply facilities have not been dismantled, Huang Xinxin heard Xu Lang's demand, found the main switch, and after some operation, the lights of the Folk Village were all lit.
Then, she quickly contacted the rest of the ghost employees, asking them to deal with the tourists and not let them run over to join in the fun.
After all, the sudden lighting of the folk village will definitely make those tourists think that the new scene has opened.
Fortunately, Hong Gang's ability to deal with emergencies is very good, and he was appeased with words like "The scene of the folk village is still being debugged internally, and tourists will not be accepted for the time being".
And Xu Lang himself used the lights to find the so-called reward.
But the clock is ticking......
