Chapter 60: The First Glimpse
"You may not believe it, but I regret buying this weapon a little now, it has no additional effects other than a sharp anomaly, and it is far from what is described in some sources."
This is what Li Xiaoxuan has been struggling with, he has done a lot of research for a long time after the long sword was in his hands, but in the end he has not dug out about its abilities, and he can't even find some differences.
Li Xiaoxuan once anonymously purchased a copy of the information on the cursed thing from the Yam team, and it was clearly written that the reason why the equipment of black rarity was called a cursed thing was because each of them contained extremely strong resentment and terrible curses!
The existence of ghosts and resentments, the accumulation of filth in the world, and the root curses...... It is possible to give birth to a cursed thing.
They are ominous symbols, and whenever tourists use them, they have to pay a price and take considerable risks......
Popular cursed items are basically time-limited, generally using them for less than 10 seconds, with a long cooldown period, and can only be used for a while once in a while.
But this is a curse...... In his opinion, Li Xiaoxuan's sword was only a larger and heavier sword, and he didn't feel any ominous or resentment on it at all......
"Huh!?"
Talking about this, Li Xiaoxuan glanced at it casually, and suddenly saw the small white flame flickering at the hilt of the sword, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart. Oh my God, this thing is an anomaly, and I didn't have it when I first bought it.
"Perhaps, you're in a bit more special?" Gao Ji said uncertainly, "I can vaguely feel some fluctuations on this sword...... It's fleeting, like something unstable is hiding the breath. ”
"It's not a good feeling, you have to be careful all the time."
"Hmm,"
Nodding his head, Gao Ji took some more pills and ointments and gave them to Li Xiaoxuan.
The process is a torture, the back is like being pricked by the skin and needles, the gauze that has faded from the body, stained with pus shaped like hawthorn juice, and there are dark black blood stains in some places, the back is also much more comfortable with new medicine, the back is cool, and the wound is healing rapidly.
The two sat for a while, and Li Xianlan's shout came from outside the door, Li Xiaoxuan heard it clearly, she was asking the two to eat.
Leaving the room with Gao Ji, outside is a spacious living room, opposite the kitchen, the stairs on the left, Ren Qianshuang and Duan Xue are watching the news, and Xu Bai is just out of the room like the two.
"The meal is ready. Come on, come on, you can see how I do it. Li Xianlan took off her apron, scooped out a full pot of pork ribs from the pressure cooker and brought it to the table, and served a big bowl of rice to everyone one by one.
The dishes on the table are very rich, eight dishes and one soup, it is not in vain that Li Xianlan was busy for an hour and a half, speaking of cooking, this aspect is also her specialty, influenced by her parents' concept, she thinks that the food sold outside is not clean, and she cooks at home with kung fu, and over time, she has also practiced a good cooking skill.
When everyone sat around the dining table for dinner, Li Xiaoxuan took a look at the place, it was obvious that this was not a hotel, but like a small villa, with a very trendy decoration and many posters of singers on the walls.
"This is a villa on the southern waterfront of Sunset Boulevard." Ren Qianshuang nibbled on a piece of ribs and said casually, "We have changed many positions before we chose here, and we can live here with peace of mind." ”
"Yes, yes, this owner is quite rich, he has a lot of guns, super cool!" Xu Bai seemed to be very satisfied with this place, and he gained a lot: "The owner of that house was controlled by Sister Xue from the beginning, and he didn't even have a chance to shoot. ”
"Well, it's not bad here." Duan Xue affirmed, "Ren Qianshuang and I plan to go out at night to have a look, don't go with you, stay here first." ”
Duan Xue and Ren Qianshuang sat on the outermost side, with their backs to the TV, while Li Xiaoxuan and Gao Ji were sitting opposite each other on the sofa.
"Go out and have a look?" Li Xiaoxuan put a large piece of shrimp in the bowl and asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”
"Police Department,"
Duan Xue replied lightly, and then began to chew a piece of pizza that Li Xianlan baked specially for her slowly, halfway through eating, Li Xianlan specially asked how it tasted, and the former snorted, a little bit ignorant of it.
When Li Xianlan saw Duan Xue's attitude, she secretly said that she was out of fun, people didn't appreciate it at all, and she had worked hard for most of the day...... I knew I would make pizza for Gao Ji to eat!
Although she muttered a little in her heart, she still pretended to be warm-hearted, no one was offended, and she poured water for this dish and that one, and she could stutter it all over again, even Xu Bai's bowl was put by her with a piece of ribs there, not to mention Gao Ji's bowl, which was full of beef and broccoli.
"Li Xiaoxuan?"
"Huh?" Li Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was Duan Xue who was calling him.
"How much did you buy that sword?" Duan Xue asked softly.
"Uh......" Li Xiaoxuan was shocked, and immediately reported the number randomly: "4W tokens." ”
"Hmm."
Duan Xue quickly finished eating, wiped the residue of her palm, handed over a chic suit, and said:
"This is a dark blue rarity armor, I want to exchange it for 6W tokens for your sword, how about it?"
"Our head is going to participate in a horror movie recently, and he is vigorously searching for all kinds of high-quality cursed things, and the price can be negotiated again~" Ren Qianshuang also added in a whisper next to him.
"You've taken a fancy to me?" Li Xiaoxuan was a little incredible, but at the same time, he suddenly realized a problem.
Since this sword has no special display of strength, how did the three people, including Gao Ji, tell that this is a weapon of black rarity?
Li Xiaoxuan had a feeling of being spied on, which made him quite uneasy:
"How did you know that this sword was a curse? Oh my God, I don't think I've ever introduced it. ”
"Quite simply, after completing the main story three times and leaving the ranks of newbies, Happy Valley will give visitors an ability called 'Insight', and each time you pay 10 tokens, you will get some brief information, such as the rarity of your weapon....... But specific information is not available. ”
“........”
"To be honest, I don't want to sell it...... Moreover, isn't it forbidden to bring equipment to participate in a movie in a horror theater? ”
Li Xiaoxuan clearly remembered Clara's words, there, the physique enhancement and the accumulation of attribute points could not be effective, and the equipment could not be carried.
"Cursed things don't count, it's carriable." After hesitating for a moment, Duan Xue took the initiative to tell the truth, "You haven't acted, and you don't understand many rules...... Think about it carefully, how can some difficult and perverted movies, such as the first-class curse, make tourists deal with them as ordinary people? You know, screen ghosts like Gaconuts are completely idealistic existences, and if they want to deal with ordinary people, they can kill them all for you even if they send an army......"
"Sister Xue, what is a horror theater?" Xu Bai and Li Xianlan couldn't sit still and asked in unison.
"You'll be able to understand this when you return from this mission, and it's useless to say it in advance now." Duan Xue stood up and said to Li Xiaoxuan: "You might as well think about it again, we won't embarrass you, if not, forget it, this thing is rare, but it's not that there is nowhere to buy." ”
After speaking, she and Ren Qianshuang walked down the stairs step by step to the upper floor, and closed the door casually.
"Looks like you're a hot baby." Gao Ji looked at Li Xiaoxuan with a smile, and there was more food sauce on his delicate face, which was obviously stuck to it just after eating.
"Where, Where, ......"
Li Xiaoxuan also had this idea of selling it, after all, this thing is useless in his hands, and he can't exert his power, so he can only handle it and chop it indiscriminately...... If you exchange it for 6W tokens, it is enough to get a good outfit.
But he was still unwilling to do this, this thing was regarded as a treasure by him at the beginning...... When I peeled off the skin and took out this sword, I was so excited, not to mention how cool it was.
Wait, hides!
Li Xiaoxuan's thoughts were shocked, and he quickly repeated the situation of the day in his mind, at that time, there was a very old animal skin wrapped in this sword, and there were also some patterns on it, could it be that this cursed thing wanted to play an effect, and the clue was on this animal skin?
Not to mention, Li Xiaoxuan really hasn't studied this animal skin in detail.
As if he had grasped some key point, Li Xiaoxuan couldn't even eat, so he left the sentence "I'm full" and found a room to enter, and turned around to lock the door.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Li Xiaoxuan took out the animal skin, spread it out and placed it on the side of the bed, only to see that there were clusters of black and white fluff on it, the texture was soft and comfortable to the touch, and its roots had a kind of toughness, and the warmth was very good.
Turn it over, this side is a very grainy leather surface, there are some subtle patterns on it, the difficulty of the process Li Xiaoxuan can't see the superiority, the pattern is even more blurry, no matter how close you are, you can only barely distinguish a little texture.
And at this moment, the mutation protruded, and the flames in the hole of the skull's eyes suddenly separated into a small dot, and quickly pounced on the side of the animal skin engraved with patterns!
The flame burned from the center of the hide, and a small black pit appeared on the scalded skin, and then, as it persistently moved downward, it burned a black line about 1 centimeter long before extinguishing it.
After doing all this, the flame itself seemed weaker, and the uncertain posture made people think that it was almost extinguished.
Damn, it really has something to do with this hide!
Li Xiaoxuan waited stupidly for a few more minutes, making sure that there was no vision for the next step, and then he looked at the black line that was burned by the flames, it was warm to the touch, and there was no mushy smell after burning, everything was very peaceful......
After studying for a while, Li Xiaoxuan took back the animal skin, and there was a faint direction in his heart.
First of all, the flame, he vaguely remembered that this thing came when he killed Jack and his party, very abruptly, he speculated that this thing may have had to be through continuous slaughter to have a chance to improve and grow.
And as for the black line that burns out...... This is so brain-burning, Li Xiaoxuan said that his Taoism is still too shallow, and he can't think of any reliable reasons at all.
On the other side, Xu Bai also took Gao Ji and Li Xianlan, who were full of wine and food, to a house, which had a computer, which was still the kind of old-fashioned fat butt monitor, but in terms of Internet access, it was enough.
"We're completely isolated right now, no matter what kind of social media I download, I can't send messages to people outside of Weiltown, and the network seems to be working normally, but between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. every day, the network connection will be severely paralyzed, and the speed is only about one percent of the usual."
"Is there anything else you don't want to find?" Gao Ji attached great importance to the question raised by Xu Bai and couldn't help asking.
"Some of these rules are summarized by me inheriting this student's memory, and partly by me an hour before class, and just now, I have made some new discoveries."
Saying that, Xu Bai clicked into a website on the spot and logged in with his registered account: "What's very interesting is that I found the official website of the Weill Town Police, which is nothing more than some videos and report records, and then there is a bounty list of some wanted criminals at large...... Hey, hey, see who I found on the list? ”
Xu Bai's fat face showed a mysterious smile, and his right hand controlled the mouse to click on a row of scroll bars leaning against the bottom of the web page, and a photo of a middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone, and the introduction below made several people's eyes shine.
This wanted poster on the website is painted by Professor Holland, and the introduction at the bottom is very clear, 46 years old, divorced, mild-mannered, and occasionally violent, and the reason for the arrest is: drunk driving hit and killed three people and then abandoned the car and fled.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all felt that there might be something strange about this matter.
The bounty offered by the police was $18,000, and anyone who provided key clues or caught Holland directly could get a bounty, and they encouraged everyone to search, and also demarcated a part of the town of Will for those who wanted to try their luck.
This is a small step forward for everyone, at least it gives them an idea of what the target looks like.
"What about this number, you can dial it and see."
Gao Ji pointed to a small line of numbers left below and motioned for Xu Bai to try the phone call.
In fact, in this world, calling the police is not forbidden, Duan Xue and they have tried it before, but the phone has never been able to get through, they have not tried this reserved phone, and it is estimated that it will not work.
"I don't recommend calling over there, it could lock the other side into our position." Xu Bai said, "It turns out that the police are not reliable, and if they don't come at the critical moment, it means that the formal system has failed, and the phone number on this website cannot be trusted, and it cannot be tried...... Maybe it has something to do with the force that is chasing us!
If they really use that kind of advanced technical means to investigate, it will be difficult for us to prevent it, so let's pay attention, so as not to be served by someone when we sleep at night. ”
"Is the technology of '02 so advanced?" Gao Ji was skeptical and admitted that what Xu Bai said had some truth, so he dispelled this idea.
