Chapter 23: The Grotesque City (23)
System: [Ding!] The Four Seasons of the Strange City has begun, temporarily blocking new players from entering, so please get ready for the countdown to dusk. 】
The system is talking about the citizens, not the players.
After Dong Dongdong and the others reacted, the aborigines in the city had already retreated quickly, and even Xiao Xiaoxiao turned around and ran away after realizing that she couldn't kill Zhang Li.
The twin moons in the sky slowly merged into a circle, and the purple and red lights dimmed and gave off an orange-red glow, and the circle slanted to the west, becoming a true sunset.
The sky is full of colorful clouds.
The sky is at its most beautiful in the city of the Grotesque.
The lights of the streets of the city were also dimmed.
Shen Sili took back the cards in his hand and asked Zhang Li, "What did you do?" ”
Zhang Li said: "I opened Pandora's box, and the disaster came out. ”
Although they didn't know what she was talking about, they just saw what she was doing, and they quickly reacted that Zhang Li might have broken some restrictions.
"You already know what that green glass bead is for?" Dong Dongdong asked her.
Zhang Li shook his head, "The system just released a new task to me, I guessed it." ”
Shen Sili didn't know what the heart of the city was called, so he had to shout the glass beads along with him, "What are the glass beads used for?" ”
"It is to let the people of the past sleep, without the heart of the city, the people of the city will wake up."
Except for Zhang Li and Si Qi who knew the complete history of the Grotesque City, everyone else was stunned, and Dong Dongdong also knew something inside, after all, this was one of his tasks.
Si Qi said: "...... You've finally broken the heart of the city, and you're ready to go back to the rest area when you're done, right? ”
Listening to that tone, there is a hint that you have finally gotten your wish.
"No," Zhang Li shook his head again, clicking on the task board to show them, "The system has made me seal the heart of the city." ”
[Main Quest: The Heart of the City is the core of the Grotesque City, for the safety of the City, please bring the Heart of the City to the tower in the center of the city to seal it.] Completion: 0. 】
Everyone saw that it was really like this, and then they thought that Zhang Li had just pasted so many blasting cards on the heart of the city......
This task is wasted.
Dong Dongdong suddenly remembered Xiao Xiaoxiao and said, "I see that Xiao Xiaoxiao tried her best to coax us to get back the heart of the city, but what's the use of her taking this thing?" ”
Zhang Li said: "Probably because you can threaten the people of the city and make yourself the real city lord?" ”
Jiang Daxin was puzzled: "Ghosts also care about this? ”
Zhang Li said: "Why don't you care, aren't ghosts also dead?" There are a lot of ghosts that people have, but people don't have the ability, and there are ghosts, so of course there are more wants. ”
Shen Sili said: "But we stood here for a long time, and nothing happened?" ”
Zhang Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, half-squinted his eyes and said, "Is nothing really happening?" ”
Countless pure white goose feather snowflakes fell from the sky, falling on everyone's heads, shoulders, and eyebrows.
"It's snowing." Si Qi was surprised and stretched out her hand to catch the snow petals, which were cold and cold, and instantly melted into her palm.
She couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Li said: "Hurry up and do the task, otherwise you won't be able to go back." ”
Dong Dongdong said: "What do you mean?" ”
Screams erupted one after another.
Their attention was distracted, Zhang Li turned around and left, regardless of whether they saw it or not, he waved his hand with his back to them, and began to hum a tune in his mouth.
"The lamb invites the big bad wolf,
The flock rejoices, ready hot water,
Prepare fresh grass and sing for guests.
The little sheep invites the big tiger,
The flock rejoices, prepares the firewood,
Prepare a bonfire, dance and wait for the guests to ......"
Hearing the singing, Si Qi's smile suddenly froze, and she seemed to have returned to her dreams at night, and her blood was getting cold, but the singing still kept getting into her ears.
Dong Dongdong also looked back at Zhang Li when he heard the tune.
"Who is the prey on the stage, and who is the audience is indifferent,
The joy of words, who is deceiving the innocent beast, how can he tell,
I twirled and danced under the lights, unknowingly waiting for the black and white to change......"
Si Qi screamed violently, trying to catch up with Zhang Li like crazy.
Dong Dongdong and the others were taken aback by Si Qi's sudden gaffe, and when they came back to their senses, Si Qi had already gone up to chase Zhang Li.
Just as Si Qi's hand was about to touch Zhang Li's shoulder, the gray-brown hand that had been thin suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed her ankle.
"Ahh
Si Qi fell to the ground, struggling to crawl in the direction of Zhang Li, she shouted sharply: "It's you!" You're really back...... You wait, I want to ......"
Her hair was scattered and her expression was crazy, if it weren't for Dong Dongdong and Si Qi before they saw her, I'm afraid they would only think she was a crazy woman at this time.
They don't know what stimulated Si Qi to suddenly become like this, but it should be related to Zhang Li.
Jiang Daxin wanted to step forward to help Si Qi, but he saw Zhang Li suddenly stop, turn around and look down at Si Qi.
"So you have known me so early......" Zhang Li's voice was low, like a cello being played, mixed with complex emotions, "Do you remember...... What are you? ”
This was a matter between Zhang Li and Si Qi, the others were silent, and Jiang Daxin no longer stepped forward.
Dong Dongdong said in his heart, it turned out that he really made him right.
Si Qi seemed to think of something, and lowered his head and said, "...... I'm sorry. ”
Zhang Li squatted down, gently rubbed her hair, and said softly, "Don't be sorry. ”
“…… I don't need it anymore. ”
Si Qi raised his head and just happened to crash into Zhang Li's dark and calm eyes.
The surface is calm and calm, and the monstrous anger and resentment are surging in the shadows.
Si Qi opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what else he could say.
"Now that you know the answer you want, go on a mission, and I hope you don't run into me again."
Zhang Li pinned the little yellow flower on his head to Si Qi's ear, stood up and looked at the three of them, and said, "Tsk, hurry up and do the task, wait for the snow to cover the ground thickly, and no one will be able to get out at that time." ”
Dong Dongdong saw that she was leaving, so he hurriedly chased after her. Although he didn't know what Zhang Li had done, he could feel that Zhang Li's mood fluctuated a lot at this time, and maybe he could brush up his trust value.
He said that he would not do the task before, but he had to firmly grasp it when he had the opportunity in front of him, and maybe it would be completed! The essence of human beings is true fragrance.
He has a hunch that as long as he catches up, he will be able to brush up on his trust!
Zhang Li watched Dong Dongdong catch up, didn't say anything, slowed down his pace and waited for him to catch up and walk side by side.
The snow spread a thin layer on the ground, and with every step Zhang Li took, a plant quickly grew, and then bloomed into a bright red flower that looked like it had been stained with blood, looking extremely enchanting on the white ground.
Seeing them leave, Shen Sili and Jiang Daxin helped up Si Qi, who had fallen to the ground and had been staring at Zhang Li's back in a daze.
Jiang Daxin said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
Si Qi shook his head, glanced at Zhang Li again, and said to them, "Let's hurry up and do the task." ”
