Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 73 Before the End
γMain quest completedγ
[Please take the rescued children to meet Mayor James at dawn and activate the post-plot]
When Jun Yao and the others returned to the Eternal Sleep Hotel, they saw Linda sitting on the sofa in the hall, and the children were gathered at her feet, holding a book with a red cover, and reading stories to the children.
βIn countless Germanic mythology, a demon or a giant has promised to complete a project in a short time in exchange for the soul of a maiden or a covenant; However, they are often tricked into turning to stone in the morning sun, scared away by the rooster, or died because their names were called, but in the end they are not (In countless Germanic mythology, demons or giants always promise to complete a certain project in a short time in exchange for the soul of a maiden or covenanter; however, they are often deceived into turning to stone in the dawn of the sun, scared away by Si Chen's rooster crowing, or dying by being called by name, and still not getting their due reward.) οΌβ
Linda looked up at them when she heard the door being pushed, and the children came too.
"Big sister! Big sister, you're back! The children happily rushed towards Jun Yao, Jiang Xian and Yin Weiyu, after all, it was Jun Yao and Yin Weiyu who stopped at the gate to block the children's figures, and Jiang Xian had the opportunity to use props to send the children to the hotel to escape from danger. So now the children are naturally very grateful to the three of Jun Yao, and they like them very much.
Jun Yao's eyes looked at Linda sitting on the sofa, and Linda happened to be looking at her, so the two looked at each other, Jun Yao smiled, "Why is Miss Linda here?" β
Linda closed the storybook in her hand, got up from the couch, and then lifted a gift bag on the back of the couch, "Mayor Mare's got me to deliver something to you." β
Linda opened the gift bag and took out the contents, it was a small gold pocket watch, opened the cover, the dial inside was blue, and the pure white hands were slowly moving, "This pocket watch is the latest batch made by Mr. Jack, you can think of this town as a souvenir, but in fact, you can't buy it in the town." This is a custom gift from the mayor of the town and only for the town's distinguished guests. You've been tired of running around for so long for things in the town, and you haven't had a good time playing in the town, and the town says that tomorrow there will be a rare wonder in Moon Lake Park - the echo of deep blue. He wants you to see the view before you leave in the car. β
"Will a car pick us up tomorrow?" Yin Weiyu asked in surprise.
Linda seemed to think that Weiyu's question was strange, but she didn't say anything, but replied to her, "Yes, your initial trip was only seven days, and the mayor felt that this time was a bit short, but thinking about your identity, I think that seven days is enough for you to solve these things." β
It turned out that the mission time had been set a long time ago, and the children would all disappear within seven days.
Only, why did Mayor James also mention the deep blue echo of this view? What's so special about this view?
Jun Yao was really curious.
"Far from it, I thought you were leaving tomorrow morning, so I sent you a gift tonight. Who knew that when I came to the hotel, I didn't see you, but I saw these children...... You guys really did it! It's incredible! Linda smiled and put the gift bag on the table, and then bowed to Jun Yao and the others, "Thank you very much for bringing this to a perfect end." β
Linda was about to leave after saluting, and Jiang Xian suddenly said at this time, "Norse Mythology." β
"What?" Linda turned her head to look at her suspiciously, and Jiang Xian continued, "The story you just read is from the Thor section of Norse Mythology. β
Linda was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize what Jiang Xian was saying, so she raised the book in her hand, "That's right." β
"It's a good story." Jiang Xian said.
"Well, that's a good ending." Linda pushed the door and left the hotel, Jun Yao walked towards the table, picked up a pocket watch from the gift bag, she stared at the watch with a lot of thoughts.
"Stay in the town for another three days, the deep blue echo is something you won't want to miss."
"The town says that tomorrow there will be a rare spectacle in Moon Lake Park - the echo of deep blue. He wants you to see the view before you leave in the car. β
"With the passage of time, repentance is always short-lived, so the forgotten emotions resonate in this way, they mourn in the abyss, and after a cycle passes, they release their unwillingness and resentment, they cry, and the whole lake echoes with an ethereal cry, and this scene, strange and enchanting. That's why it's called the echo of the deep blue. β
Jun Yao suddenly thought of something and chased him out.
"Jun Yao!" Jiang Xian saw Jun Yao suddenly run out, and felt that her such a move was too dangerous, so she also followed. Seeing this, Yin Weiyu wanted to follow along, but the children pulled the corners of her clothes, "Big sister...... Don't all go, we're afraid. β
"Weiyu, you are here with the children, I will chase Jun Yao, don't worry." Jiang Xian turned around and said to Yin Weiyu, Yin Weiyu had to nod. That's it, Jiang Xian's ability is not weak, Jun Yao herself is not stupid, besides, the task has been completed, only the plot is left, there will be no danger.
Jun Yao chased after Linda, "Miss Linda-"
Linda heard the call and looked back at her in confusion, "What are you doing here?" Anything else? β
Jun Yao finally stopped, she bent down to sort out her breathing, Jiang Xian gently patted her shoulder, Jun Yao glanced at her, knowing that she was worried about herself, so she didn't say anything, "I just have a question I want to ask clearly." β
"Tell me."
"We were told a few days ago that the 'Echoes of the Deep Blue' would appear tomorrow, and today you came to give us a gift and spread the news, and I wonder - what are the conditions for the Echoes of the Dark Blue to appear? Isn't it a natural sight? How do you calculate when it appeared? β
Linda frowned and thought for a moment before she said, "Mr. Jack must have told you the news too, right?" I don't know exactly what the conditions for this 'Deep Blue Echo' to appear, but Mr. Jack does, and that's what he told the mayor. β
"What a beautiful ceremony! You must check it out. Linda said with a longing expression, "Do you have any other questions?" β
"I didn't ...... Without. β
"Then I'll take my leave." Linda turned, this time finally disappearing into the night.
γSpecial Mission Triggeredγ
[Special Mission 4: Go to Moon River Park at sunrise to enjoy the "Deep Blue Echoes" and you will be rewarded with a generous reward]
Jun Yao and Jiang Xian glanced at each other, and then they both laughed.
"I didn't expect this to trigger special missions as well, it's really yours, Jun Yao." Jiang Xian quipped.
"I didn't expect me to be so good! It seems that the rewards will be very generous after the end of this mission! Jun Yao responded, inadvertently looking at the clock hanging in the street shop, and the time on it actually showed three o'clock in the morning.
How could time pass so quickly?
When they started the task plan, it was only nine o'clock, and this series of things would only consume an hour at most, and if they went further, it would be an hour and a half to the sky, and it would be ten and a half o'clock and eleven o'clock when the time was late! Why is it already three o'clock in the morning? Shouldn't it?
"Jiang Xian, look, is the time on this clock wrong?" Jun Yao pulled Jiang Xian's sleeve and asked.
"Huh? Why is it just three o'clock...... It's four o'clock? Is this kind of clock broken? Jiang Xian saw that the time on the last secondary watch was still three o'clock, and the next second the hour hand jumped, and it became four o'clock.
"There's a problem with this clock, let's go back to the hotel to check the time, there are many clocks there." Jun Yao said and ran back towards the Eternal Sleep Hotel, pushed open the door, Xu Qingran and the three of them had already returned, hearing the movement behind him, Xu Qingran looked back, "Jun Yao? Jiang Xian? How did you come back? β
"I just went out and asked Miss Linda about something, wait a minute, I'll see the time first." Jun Yao explained casually, and then she walked through the crowd, her gaze falling on the wall behind the front desk.
All clocks show the same time.
Four o'clock in the morning.
"What's wrong? Why should I look at the time? Ai Yu asked puzzled, so she also followed Jun Yao's gaze, and this glance made her speechless in surprise.
The hour hand points from "IV." to "V."
"Five in the morning? How could time pass so quickly? Lin Mo said suspiciously.
"Time is sped up by the system." Xu Qingran, as the most experienced person here, can see at a glance that this is the handiwork of the system. He'd been in that situation before. That was when he carried out his first official mission, and it was in that mission that he and his master met, and they easily completed that mission, and after the main quest was completed, in order to let the Dream Traveler experience the post-plot, the system adjusted the time and accelerated to the time node of the post-plot.
"It looks like it's going to be dawn soon, we're going to take these kids to the mayor's office to see the mayor, are you all together?" Xu Qingran asked inquiringly.
Yin Weiyu shook her head, "I want to complete that special mission, which is the one I received when I was at the Yongxing Grand Theater before." β
Yin Weiyu was talking about special task 3, Xu Qingran knew what he was talking about, after all, the system had just reminded that this task could be completed.
[The new play of Yongxing Grand Theater will start at 6 o'clock punctually]
Xu Qingran is not ready to stop Yin Weiyu, after all, this post-plot doesn't matter if you watch it or not. They decided to trigger it for two reasons: first, the plot still had to be completed; Second, he had something he wanted to ask the mayor. He looked at Jun Yao and Jiang Xian, "Are you going to the theater too?" β
[Sunrise will appear at 6 o'clock sharp]
Jun Yao saw the prompt in front of her, so she smiled, "We activated another special mission, have you received it?" β
Xu Qingran shook his head.
"We were invited to watch 'Echoes of the Deep Blue,' so I wanted to go there and see it, I have a question that needs to be solved."
Jiang Xian also said, "I'm with Jun Yao. β
Ai Yu nodded, and grabbed Xu Qingran's arm, "Then the three of us will go, you guys be careful." β
Lin Mo looked around the hall and didn't see Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, "What about the other two people?" β
The little blue-haired boy said, "The two big brothers look tired, so they're back in the room!" β
Lin Mo nodded, it is true that Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao are only two children, and they have taken on such a big task as seducing Arthur tonight, and they have been running for a long time, so they should have a good rest, and the left and right are just the novice tasks of those two children, and there is nothing to ask for in the ending, so she no longer pays attention to it, and said with a smile, "Then let's do our own tasks!" β
