Chapter 42: Assemble
When Mu Lan came out of the corridor, the walkie-talkie rang.
"Mu Lan?"
"Sister Lanlan?"
It was Shi Zhengyang and Lin Yiyi's voices, and Mu Lan immediately said, "I'm here, I encountered some trouble just now." ”
Shi Zhengyang couldn't contact him just now, although the signal was normal, but Mu Lan didn't speak, if it weren't for the team badge and still being able to feel her existence, everyone thought that she had encountered an accident.
And Lin Yiyi was suddenly contacted, as soon as she entered the world of reincarnation, she found that she was in a low-rent dormitory in a remote city, and she didn't go too far beyond the communication range, and when she walked to the city, she contacted Shi Zhengyang by mistake.
Shi Zhengyang gave them a coordinate location of "Central Park", and the three of them were ready to gather as soon as possible, Mu Lan stopped a night taxi, and reported this position to the back seat.
The driver who drove the car was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a very ordinary appearance, just glanced at Mu Lan and started the car silently.
Although Mu Lan usually doesn't like to talk at school, this is in the world of reincarnation, according to her habits, she will definitely pick up the driver to see if she can ask for some useful information, but what happened in "her own home" just now made her heart messy, and the separated teammates and the copy without task prompts made her confused, and there was always an idea that sank in her heart, but she couldn't think of it.
I looked at my watch, it was two o'clock in the morning, the taxi was driving fast on the wide highway, the street lights on both sides were on, there was occasionally an oncoming private car, the bus stop was hung with commercial posters endorsed by unknown celebrities, and the lights of high-rise buildings in the distance were dotted, everything was not much different from the city where she lived.
The atmosphere in the car was very dull, the driver didn't speak, and Mu Lan didn't want to force a conversation, so she drove all the way quietly, her spell [Detection] kept it released, and she didn't find anything noteworthy.
According to what Shi Zhengyang said just now, he has also encountered a situation where there is no task prompt when entering the reincarnation world, but with the in-depth development of the plot, the task prompt will always appear, which shows that this copy is not simply aimed at "survival" before.
There is no so-called "plot development" at present, and I can't analyze anything if I think too much, Mu Lan gave up and continued to think, feeling that the taxi was a little stuffy, so she wanted to open the window to breathe, and when she inadvertently swept the rearview mirror in the car, her body suddenly froze.
Mu Lan slowly moved her gaze to the rearview mirror, only to feel that the temperature in the dull car had cooled down, and an extreme sense of gloom hit her heart, and the hairs on her body stood up.
There were three people in the car!
The driver was still sitting firmly in the driver's seat, Mu Lan was sitting on the right side of the back seat, and she clearly saw three people in the rearview mirror.
Because it was driving at night, the driver didn't drive the inner light, so it was very dark in the taxi, Mu Lan vaguely saw a person sitting next to him, he was motionless, he couldn't distinguish the appearance of men and women, he could only see the general outline.
Sensing this person's presence, Mu Lan quickly looked to the side, only to find that it was empty and there was nothing.
Turning his head to look in the rearview mirror again, the figure actually disappeared, and only Mu Lan herself was in the back seat.
Mu Lan clenched her fists, she had never encountered this situation, strange things appeared around her one after another, making her, who had always been calm, a little out of shape, and her body tensed uneasily.
"What's the matter, girl?"
The driver's head was tilted, and he could see the strange behavior of the passengers, and there was a hint of doubt in his speech.
"It's fine!" Mu Lan shook her head, leaned back into her seat, and said, "How long is Central Park?" ”
"It's coming, it's ahead!"
The driver's words and deeds were quite normal, but Mu Lan still condensed the spiritual power in his hands, and he would come out of his hands as soon as there was a strange movement of the wind blade.
"The park has arrived!" The driver said.
Mu Lan took out her wallet from her handbag, opened it, took out a large blue bill, and put it on the seat in front of her.
"No need to look for it!" With that, she opened the door.
The driver looked at the passenger who got off the bus in a hurry with an ugly face, and couldn't help muttering: "What are you doing in Central Park so late?" ”
Central Park covers a large area, just now more than 10 minutes around the park guardrail, I don't know if it was affected by what happened just now, Mu Lan always felt that the towering trees in the park were dancing with their teeth and claws, ghostly.
She saw Shi Zhengyang and Lin Yiyi waiting for her from a distance, Shi Zhengyang's hands were behind his back, and his posture was as steady as a mountain, while Lin Yiyi was squatting on the ground and playing with stones boredly.
"You're finally here!"
As soon as she saw Mu Lan, Lin Yiyi smiled happily, maybe she couldn't get along with an old-fashioned character like the captain, she waited for a long time, and she was so bored that she played with stones.
"The color of your bag is so pink!" Lin Yiyi noticed Mu Lan's cute handbag at a glance, and felt that it didn't match her usual style at all, her eyes blinked, thinking that Mu Lan still had such a girlish side.
"It's not my ......" Mu Lan just wanted to explain, thinking that the bag was indeed another "me", she didn't know what to say for a while, so she organized the language in her head, and told them what she had just encountered.
Lin Yiyi was still staring at the pink handbag, Shi Zhengyang was thinking about business, he thought about it and said in a deep voice: "We also encountered similar things, I always felt that someone was following me just now, but every time I turned around, I found nothing." ”
"Me too!" Lin Yiyi finally turned her attention to the pink handbag, but her expression was extremely excited, and she didn't have the consciousness of a normal person hitting a ghost at all, "When I was walking on the road, I saw a figure flashing at the intersection in front of me, sneaky. ”
"And then?" Mu Lan asked curiously.
"And then I'll catch up!" Lin Yiyi said: "That figure didn't even have footsteps, the speed was very fast, I chased three intersections and lost it!" ”
Well, it is really not a normal person's brain circuit, and it can still run after the "ghost", Mu Lan sighed and said, "It seems that this copy is related to this kind of supernatural and ghostly thing." ”
"This is not good news...... Shi Zhengyang seemed to think of some bad memories, his face was gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and said: "If it is a normal reincarnation world, whether it is science and technology, magic, or fantasy, everything will work according to some kind of knowable system, even if the main quest is very difficult, it is also traceable, but this time the copy is ......"
Mu Lan looked at Shi Zhengyang, his face was very gloomy, he hesitated for a moment and continued: "This kind of reincarnation world involving spirits and ghosts, most of the situations are unknowable, absurd and even illogical, you are still talking one moment, and the next moment you may be in a different place, I don't even know how to die, I once experienced a copy called the Shadow Game, the team was still very strong at that time, there were 7 people, I was not the captain yet, at that time we were forced to play a game with terrifying ghosts, All the magic power of light and heavy weapons failed, and in the end, only me and Thunder survived......"
Shi Zhengyang was immersed in the powerless scene at that time, and lowered his voice as he spoke: "A level 3 reincarnation team has suffered heavy losses, and its combat power has plummeted, and it has not eased up until now......
Shi Zhengyang stopped talking, Mu Lan saw that he was caught in some kind of painful memory, and didn't know how to comfort him, the three of them fell silent, at this time a car drove by, the light of the headlights hit the three of them, Mu Lan suddenly noticed a detail.
"Why are your foreheads black?"
