Chapter 176: The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring
"Oh? Your newbie quest is so special. ”
Rong Chuan nodded, recalling the previous scene, he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
At that time, he was taking the students to eat, but then all the people on the street were swept into a black fog!
There was a little girl with a blue face and bleeding eyes, combing her two braids and patting it gently, one of Rong Chuan's students, that person disappeared in an instant and turned into a dark shadow.
The little girl opened her mouth and smiled, her mouth full of fangs, and said eerily, "Don't be caught by me"
Hide-and-seek!
On the entire street, there were nearly fifty people, and almost half of them were killed by this little girl.
Only Kou Zhong's subordinates remained, as well as the people here in Rongchuan.
Just thinking about it now, Rong Chuan felt that his scalp was numb, but it was just a novice task.
And the task they will face next, it is not an order of magnitude at all.
It was enough to make people despair, and he looked at the veterans in front of him, no wonder everyone here was silent.
Surviving in this environment, no one knows when they will die, how can they be happy.
At this time, John and Cheng Guoguo on the side finally finished crying, and saw John get up from the ground and take out the cross from his arms.
He swore and said: "My father died to exorcise demons, and now that I have entered here, maybe this is what you call fate, I must inherit my father's great will and fight the devil to the end!" ”
Zhu Zixing pursed his lips when he heard this.
This John and Gabriel are really a father and son, and even the thick-skinned ones have been completely inherited.
Gabriel said in his notes that he was simply greedy for Guan Mu's money and risked it to give it a try, but he himself said that he was selfless and dedicated to helping his friends.
Now his son John has become a priest, and he speaks so nobly of his father's death.
Where there is a father, there must be a son, and this sentence is really appropriate anywhere.
At this time, Cheng Guoguo came up, patted John's shoulder gently, grinned and said, "Yes, yes, your shameless appearance has the charm of my youth." ”
John scratched his hair, as if he hadn't heard Cheng Guoguo's words, and praised his courage, smirking and saying, "Thank you." ”
Xu Lang rubbed his temples, these two people are really a natural pair.
Yan Yan knocked lightly on the table, interrupted their nonsense, glanced at the newcomers in the back, and said lightly: "That's it for today, if there is anything you don't understand, you can find Captain He, disperse." ”
Xu Lang looked at Yan Yan, he had been frowning, since the newcomers entered, he seemed to have something on his mind.
Under the leadership of He Xiao, the newcomers were led back to their rooms one by one.
In the conference room, only Yan Yan and Xu Lang were left looking at each other.
Yan Yan was the first to speak: "You also realized it. ”
Xu Lang frowned slightly and nodded: "I don't know if this is a coincidence." ”
Yan Yan slapped the table, as if his heart was full of anger, "It must have been deliberately arranged by the newspaper!" ”
"Do you remember Luo Huisheng and Ouyang Jing from the last mission, their entry was deliberately arranged by the newspaper to create conditions for us to carry out the mission, this time Kou Zhong's gang must have a purpose!"
When Xu Lang heard this, he remembered the fierce gaze of Kou Zhong, a newcomer, just by that style, he could see that this person was extraordinary.
The most headache is that he is an old acquaintance with Wu Cheng.
Although the young man was arrogant and domineering at first, he looked brainless, but he was obviously assigned by Kou Zhong.
And his tragic death, these people didn't even have the slightest objection, Kou Zhong told them to leave!
This kind of terrible rigor and obedience, I am afraid that none of these people are ordinary people.
Xu Lang then said: "You mean, the newspaper company saw that Wu Cheng's forces had been completely damaged, and deliberately assigned manpower to help him?" ”
Yan Yan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?" Among the executors, you and I are the most powerful, basically all the veterans are in the team, and Wu Cheng is no longer able to contain them.
The newspaper did this, obviously because it didn't want you and me to cover the sky with one hand! ”
Xu Lang lowered his head and thought about it, he still couldn't understand what kind of existence the newspaper was.
Sometimes, it's like a machine, running in a fixed pattern, and the iron can't move.
But sometimes, it's like an independent thinking creature, subjectively controlling the internal direction of the newspaper!
Yan Yan then said with a long voice: "However, maybe I am just an ordinary chess piece in the eyes of the newspaper, and the reason why it does this should be to limit your development." ”
Xu Lang also thought of this, and in the previous discussion between the two of them, Xu Lang's particularity had been pointed out.
It's just that to this day, Xu Lang still can't figure out why he was treated special by the newspaper.
Xu Lang shook his head and gave up the topic, "The next mission should be coming, how difficult do you guess the next mission will be?" ”
Yan Yan sat down at this time, "Judging from my experience, the newspaper has just organized an unsolvable mission, since you are not dead, and you have added new people, I estimate that the difficulty of the next mission will not be too high."
However, this shouldn't last long, after all, you still have a better chance of surviving in normal missions. ”
Xu Lang nodded, and then pointed the topic to the newcomer Rong Chuan.
"I think Rong Chuan, who is insightful, courageous and intelligent, should be regarded as a more brilliant character among the newcomers in this transportation."
Yan Yan fiddled with the lighter on his mobile phone, "Do you believe he is a teacher?" ”
Xu Lang shook his head: "I don't think so, a smart person will definitely disguise himself before realizing that he has come to an unknown place."
Moreover, a character who can compete with Kou Zhong, I don't believe he will be so weak. ”
Yan Yan snapped his fingers, "But this time you were wrong, he is indeed a teacher." ”
Xu Lang frowned, looked at Yan Yan silently, waiting for his explanation.
Yan Yan laughed: "It's just that he's a taekwondo teacher!" I have studied taekwondo for five or six years, and his every move and walking style is clearly a taekwondo master!
Therefore, although he lied, it can be seen from this that this person has a good character.
But I don't like this kind of person, you can keep it. ”
Xu Lang smiled slightly, "Oh? So what are you, badass? ”
Yan Yan stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "In my team, Gao Yiyuan and I are all good people through and through, aren't you too?" ”
Yan Yan and Xu Lang walked out side by side, laughing loudly from time to time.
But as soon as he walked out of the conference room, Xu Lang felt that his skull began to swell, and a stream of information that did not belong to the brain began to burrow into his scalp.
A mechanical, cold voice began to echo.
The long-lost sense of explosion resurfaced again, Xu Lang pressed his head and carefully read the information in his mind.
After a long time, he looked at Yan Yan, who was waiting against the wall, and smiled bitterly:
"Do you know Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring? This time, I'm going to go for a ride. ”
......
Once again, all the employees of the newspaper gathered in the conference room.
This time, unlike yesterday's situation, nearly twenty newcomers were added, leaving the conference room full.
He Xiao still sat in the first place, Yan Yan and Xu Lang sat down separately, and the two teams sat down in batches.
Wu Cheng and Kou Zhong sat next to each other, but the group of subordinates did not choose to sit down, but stood straight behind them, seemingly bringing the previous style to the newspaper office.
Gu Chunxia, the only one in the last batch of newcomers who did not receive the task and thus survived, was talking to a girl next to her.
The girl looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, pulled the corner of Gu Chunxia's clothes, sobbed and said, "Aunt Gu, you must help me." ”
Gu Chunxia was about to cry, and said with a drooping face: "I'm also on a mission for the first time, it's useless for you to beg me, do you see that Xu Lang at the front, he is the most powerful person in the newspaper, you have to beg him." ”
The newcomers each have their own sad faces, as if they have been apocalyptic by the world.
Who would have thought that he would have to participate in the mission as soon as he entered the newspaper office.
On the contrary, Xu Lang and other veterans did not react much, because this time the task was finally downgraded, and it was an ordinary level.
After going through the unsolvable mission, they are able to perform normal-level tasks, which is already a good gift.
Xu Lang coughed lightly and said to the newcomer in the rear: "The executor of this mission, raise your hand." ”
Next to Cheng Guoguo, John sat there carrying a small stool and stood up first.
Then Gu Chunxia and the girl next to her raised their hands tremblingly, and Rong Chuan looked around and raised his hands.
Finally, nameless.
He Xiao waited for a while, and was sure that no one would attend again.
Nodding, it seems that there are a total of six executors participating this time, and the number of people is decent, not too small but not much.
After Xu Lang then looked around, Lang Sheng said the content of this mission.
"Normal-level editing mission: Peach Blossom Spring Festival
Mission time: 8 a.m. on May 12
Location: Peach Blossom Village
Mission content: Set off after 8 o'clock in the morning on May 12, you must find the location of Peach Blossom Village before 8 o'clock in the evening, survive for three days, and submit a report to complete the mission and return.
Mission-Carrying Staff: Xu Lang, Nameless, Rong Chuan, John Kim, Gu Chunxia, Huang Hui"
This information is simple and straightforward.
Xu Lang felt in his heart that it was as if he hadn't seen such a concise task for a long time.
As a normal-level mission, surviving a time-limited mission like three days is not too dangerous to think about.
However, there are still points to be aware of.
Xu Lang said faintly: "Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom Village, I don't know if this is similar to Tao Yuanming's article, but compared to this Peach Blossom Village, it is not simple, and it gives us twelve hours, we must arrive."
Then this time the newspaper will not directly teleport us to the mission location, and we need to find it ourselves.
Presumably, everyone knows the fate of violating the rules of the mission. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, and they immediately thought of the arrogant young man who had turned into ashes before.
glanced at each other, their hearts rose to their throats, and they looked at Xu Lang with dry mouths.
And Xu Lang glanced at everyone sharply, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became dull and depressed.
......
PS: This mission is mainly based on the horror and strange stories of traditional Chinese folklore, and the model of the Peach Blossom Fountain is the structure, and there is absolutely no denigration.
Tao Yuanming is a literati I like very much, and I have written about him before, so this time it is a brain hole.
This mission will also be very interesting, I hope you will pay more attention and watch it well!
