Chapter 254: Clues (3)
The next day, it was not until near noon that O'Connor led the group to the port of Giza in Cairo.
Eve and Jonathan had been waiting for the room early, and when they saw O'Connor arrive, they both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when they found Zhang Heng and the others who were following O'Connor, they showed a wary look at the same time.
Eve has a frank personality and a bit of a big grin.
As soon as O'Connor came to her, she hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that you were the only one who took us?" Why did you bring so many people?
First of all, I won't be able to afford to travel for so many people......"
"Haha, today is really suitable for adventure, there are so many people that there is nothing to ......
But...... O'Connor, are they really reliable?
Of course, you know, I mean the gold-hungry side......"
Jonathan laughed twice, and he whispered as he put his arm around O'Connor's shoulder.
O'Connor nodded, "Yes, today's weather is indeed suitable for adventure!"
As for them...... There should be no interest in gold, and they will protect us during the journey......
But I'm more worried about ......"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out his wallet and looked at it a few times before carefully putting it back in his arms.
Jonathan is good at everything, but he likes to steal from other people's arms.
Seeing O'Connor's movements, he smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, I won't make a move on my own people."
Hehe, you say they won't be interested in gold? So...... They're rich, right? ”
O'Connor gave him a deep look and admonished, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's better not to provoke them, otherwise you'll ......."
Before O'Connor's words fell, Xiao Yuqi and Zhang Heng walked to the side of the three of them.
Xiao Yuqi smiled and said, "Sir, I heard everything you said......
Hello two, a little bit about yourself.
My name is Xiao Yuqi, and this is Zhang Heng, the captain of our team!
We are mercenaries by profession, entrusted with the personal safety of Mr. O'Connor.
Of course, please follow some of our advice during your exploration, and do not do anything that will endanger your life, as for the gold......
We're not interested, that's basically it. ”
Eve had been looking at O'Connor until Xiao Yuqi and the two came over, and then she hurriedly said, "What...... What the?
You're also heading to the capital of death?
We are looking for the existence of the City of Death in our private capacity, so why should we follow your advice? ”
Xiao Yuqi smiled and shook his head: "I think you may have misunderstood, our purpose is just to protect O'Connor."
As for the gold and the like from the expedition, we are not interested......"
Hearing this, Eve's reaction became even more intense.
She exclaimed, "I see, your purpose is the Bible of the Dead or the True Book of the Resurrection, right?"
Don't! That's impossible!
Even if such an ancient document really exists, how can it be handed over to you?
It's impossible! Such a document is a cultural treasure, and I will never give it to you! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuqi and Zheng Heng glanced at each other, and they both saw the same words in each other's eyes.
This Bible of the Dead and the Book of the Resurrection may be the goal of those so-called players!
Before the quest began, they were reminded that the player's mission was not the same as the Awakened's.
Generally speaking, players have more difficult tasks and better rewards.
At the same time, there are also players who enter the dungeon not to complete any mission, but to find some special items.
Looking at Eve's reaction now, there must be a big problem hidden in these two scriptures.
Even if they are not the player's mission objectives, they must be some kind of important special item.
Xiao Yuqi and the others looked around, and found that many people around them were looking at them with surprised eyes, and they could even feel a trace of hostility.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuqi could only smile helplessly: "Don't worry, our mission is only to protect O'Connor's personal safety, as for the rest, we are not interested." ”
After speaking, the two of them walked directly towards the travel boat on the riverside with everyone.
When everyone moved away from O'Connor and the others, Guan Nan asked directly, "Why do we follow them to the capital of death?" Our mission is only to keep O'Connor alive until the end of the quest.
In that case, it would be better if we just kidnapped him. Anyway, we have weapons on us, as long as we force him to stay in a safe place with us for enough time, won't we just complete the mission? ”
"It's not that simple."
Xiao Yuqi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "That's right, our mission is indeed only to protect O'Conor and survive safely.
But have you thought about it, why should we protect him until the end of the dungeon? ”
"What's there to think about here?"
Guan Nan said disdainfully: "Of course, without our protection, he will die!" ”
"Here's the problem! Why did he die? ”
Xiao Yuqi looked at Guan Nan: "Haven't you seen this movie?" In the original plot of the movie, O'Connor is not dead at all! ”
"What's this? Maybe it's the plot rewritten, maybe those players want to kill him! ”
"Herein lies the problem."
Xiao Yuqi sneered and said, "If the plot is rewritten, do you know which part of the rewrite?"
What if we kidnap O'Connor and force him to stay in town, only to have the plot rewritten as a demon resurrection that takes the entire town as a sacrifice?
How do you determine where there is danger? Where is it safe? ”
"This ......"
Guan Nan wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
"And the players."
Xiao Yuqi continued: "What if the players are tasked with hunting O'Connor?
They're not like us, they don't know the plot of the movie, they don't know who O'Connor is, they don't know where to look for him.
If such a mission is indeed released, then players must have the ability to directly locate O'Connor's location.
In that case, what difference does it make if we hide there?
Not only that, but we're also going to arouse O'Connor's suspicion and even lead him to attack us, is that really what you want? ”
Hearing this, Guan Nan glanced at Xiao Yuqi with a flushed face, and then twisted his face to the side.
Zhang Heng glanced at the two of them, and said, "Okay, let's get on the boat first, O'Connor and they are here." ”
Xiao Yuqi nodded and silently walked into the cabin.
And Guan Nan walked last, and her eyes flashed with resentment as she looked at Xiao Yuqi.
......
Players are preparing for the war zone.
Outside the small room where everyone had gathered, a layer of dark blue light shrouded in it.
And outside the light, countless humanoid monsters gathered here.
Their physical features are similar to those of humans, but they are all over three meters tall, and their skin is a miserable white color, making them look very strange.
And the members of the room have also changed from seven to three.
Prince, Kent, and Luther.
Except for them, everyone else had disappeared, and even the three of them were covered in blood, and they didn't know how long they could hold on.
Kent struggled to help them both onto the couch, and then sat down on his own ass.
After resting for a moment, Kent took a metal ball from his bosom and placed it in front of him, squeezing it gently.
Suddenly, a faint white light lit up on the metal ball.
"I'm Kent, a player.
I discovered something horrible in the world and recorded this message.
Later, I'm going to die here with my companions, and hopefully someone will find this message! ”
"Two years ago, the system created a demon and brought it to the world with an incredibly terrifying virus.
Although King Arthur intervened to eliminate it, the virus had already broken out and could not be reversed.
Since the outbreak of the virus two years ago, rumors about demons have long been cut off.
Neither King Arthur's narrative nor our inspection through the equipment suggests that the demon is still alive, but judging by what Prince and I have just seen in the base of the infected.......
That demon is not completely dead.
So all of our inferences will be based on the fact that the demon is still alive, and if all the inferences fit perfectly, then even if it is inconceivable that the demon is still alive, then it is true......"
"First of all, the demon infected some of the humans two years ago, and this part of the human race has both human genes and demon genes, causing them to become infected.
Immediately afterwards, the virus was stopped by King Arthur, but then the greed of the human elite and nobles led to 20 outbreaks of the virus, and it was these two outbreaks that caused the infected to take over the world.
This is all information that we know, and with the exception of the demon still alive, the rest of the information is the same, both from outside records and from the homeland......"
Then, as the human base decreased, these infected gradually set their sights on the awakened and the player, which led to the emergence of mutant infected.
The mutant infected people are extremely greedy for human blood at the beginning, because the human genes in their bodies are making the last struggle, and it also means that they still have the possibility of changing from the infected person back to human again......"
"However, with the gradual evolution of mutant infections, the virus genes in their bodies gradually combine with their personal systems and eat away at their own human genes.
At this time, they are no longer greedy for human blood, on the contrary, they begin to crave the blood of infected people, trying to obtain the virus from it and strengthen the binding degree of the virus to the system.
This is also the reason why the mutant infected people let go of humans and suck the infected.
With the gradual accumulation and increase of the virus in the body of the mutant infected person, and completely integrated with the system, a new system was born.
Finally, the deeply infected appeared.
They regained their sanity and grew in strength.
They are no longer satisfied with ordinary infected, but instead start hunting mutant infected, because only in this way can they get both the rules of the system and the virus to supplement at the same time.
Even they began to crave the blood of the primordial mother, because the virus contained there was purer and more powerful.
So they began to go underground, which was a deeper and deeper underground network......
And here, there must be the cooperation of the development team, otherwise they would not have been able to build such a magnificent underground city in just two years. ”
"So, if the demon really ........ alive
And what about him...... and depth...... The infected person is ....... again
And also...... Nereus ......
......
Just as Kent was talking about the key point, the image suddenly became blurry, and finally even dissipated directly.
Both Silent and Vichy's faces became ugly.
"Nereus, that's the name again!"
Silent and said in a deep voice: "Last time in the illusion of Bai Qi, the woman who caused the suspension of Atlantis also mentioned this name. ”
Vichy nodded.
Suddenly, she looked silent and said with a serious expression: "I don't know why, I have a strange premonition. ”
"What?"
Silent curiosity.
"The Awakened, the players, and the development team seem to be the same kind of creatures!"
Hearing this, his silent expression instantly became weird.
......
Eastern suburbs, in a secret place.
With the exception of Bu Yu and Boseman, everyone he was with gathered here.
"Still no news of silence?"
Mera looked at the phoenix and asked anxiously.
Phoenix shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Not yet, still can't be contacted!" ”
Hearing this, Mera's face was a little ugly.
And just then, Boseman suddenly ran in from outside.
"How? Did you hear any news? ”
Phoenix hurriedly handed Bosman a cup of tea and asked anxiously.
Boseman drank the tea from his cup and immediately said, "I see." ”
"What?"
All eyes were on Bosman.
"I went to the underground town to find Lu Li, and got in touch with Yuqi through him.
When Yu Qi learned about this, she personally went to the area where the dungeon was opened, where she found an independent space that had been excluded from the Overworld! ”
"What do you mean?"
Mera's brow tightened, "What do you mean...... Silent and Vichy trapped by someone else? ”
"No!"
Bosman shook his head and said in a deep voice, "According to Yuqi, the independent space that was excluded was the dungeon area.
Other words...... This copy of Bu Yu and Wei Qi's participation is not over yet. ”
“......”
Hearing Bosman's answer, everyone's faces showed puzzled expressions.
After a moment, Scarlett said in a deep voice, "It's unlikely, based on our previous experience, no matter how long we've spent in the dungeon area, it's only been a second in the realization world.
But now it's been a full five days since they went to participate in the dungeon, which is too far away! ”
"I don't know."
Bosman looked at everyone: "I just heard Yuqi say that this copy seems to be a little special."
There seems to be something strange hidden inside, and this thing may have something to do with Vichy. ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Scarlett took a deep breath and looked up at everyone: "Okay, if it's really like what Yuqi said, then there should be no danger for Silent and Weizi for the time being."
Just now, Phoenix has received a prompt from the system, asking us to arrive at the dungeon area before noon tomorrow, and this matter cannot be delayed. ”
Speaking of this, Scarlett looked at Phoenix: "Phoenix, you are the deputy head of the regiment, and now you are silent, you are in charge of this copy!" "The latest chapter of "Zombie Bug Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
