Chapter 389: Entrustment: The First Kill of the Murderous Maniac
Xiao Z: "Actually, what we're experiencing now are the most common forms of tasks, and some are similar to ...... Defense, defense, you know? Yes, that's teamwork. Although all of our time and space huts are in the same camp, we still have small groups with each other, and if we often work together in a team, we can improve everyone's tacit understanding, and when we really fight as a team, we can exert more powerful energy. ”
Qingu: "Oh, I see. ”
Xiao Z: "Although being able to become the shopkeeper of the space-time hut is to be recognized by the same Heavenly Dao system, the general values are the same. However, everyone's thoughts, behaviors, and ways of doing things are still different, and the chance of meeting someone who is more compatible with them in all aspects is still relatively small......"
Qin Gu understands what Xiao Z means, after all, this is the direction of future development, unless it is absolutely strong strength, otherwise a team is needed......
Xiao Z added in due course: "...... The whistling impact, the solitary space-time hut was like a stormy leaf. Now you'll be able to recognize some of the time-space hut keepers who have a fateful relationship, which is not bad. ”
Qin Gu heard the vicissitudes of life from Xiao Z's words, and thought that his time and space hut had experienced a lot of wars like "storms" that "roared".
Qin Gu said: "But my current strength is a big gap with them, and everything will be talked about when my ability improves." ”
Xiao Z looked old-fashioned, and nodded with a small tail on his head: "Well, you have such an idea, I'm very pleased......"
Qin Gu: "......"
Qin Gu looked at the chat group that was still beating, and after a while, he finally organized a sentence in his consciousness and sent it out.
【Contact list】Qin Gu: "The client was very satisfied with the last mission, and thank you very much for Chu Yuan's help." In the future, my level will also be improved, and I am looking forward to working with you. ”
In this way, I not only show that I agree with and look forward to teamwork, but at the same time, I show that I need to improve my strength first, and I am by no means the kind of person who likes to take advantage and drag his feet.
Regarding the previous task, Xiao Z also explained: Because the client task of Qingu at that time was indeed in the primary area, and the requirements were also very low - just to let her "not be someone else's cannon fodder", in short, save her life.
Later, the difficulty of the task changed sharply, because of Chu Yuan's entry.
After all, it is a high-level tasker, which is bound to have a great impact on the original plot...... Therefore, the task of Qiangu has also been increased by several difficulty areas.
In a word, it's all the fault of strength.
If the strength is not equal, there are many situations that you can't cope with yourself, and you need to rely on others...... That's definitely not what Qingu wants.
Qin Gu set up the format contract of the virtual space, and it happened that Xiao Z also found her next task.
Xiao Z can conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the known information, which is more systematic than Qingu's own thinking, except for the last time, the rest of the tasks are basically within Qingu's strength.
Mandate: The first kill of the Murderer
The plot of this mission is that Ritz is a street girl in a small city who is brutally murdered in the early hours of the morning when she returns to her rental house.
Delegate Task: Be a decent person
Commissioning Reward: 43 Soul Stones
Space Travel: 10 Soul Stones
...... Qin Gu looked at the plot introduction, this is too brief, and even the identity and background of the client are not introduced.
Also, the reward for this quest is only 43 Soul Stones...... It's too little.
In the past, I didn't have to choose a task with little remuneration because of the constraints...... Now that she is a little wealthy, she can choose, of course, she has to choose a high salary?
Qin Gu has always believed that Xiao Z's screening task has his reasons, but this, no matter what way it is, is not cost-effective?
Xiao Z sensed the resentment of the "shopkeeper" in charge, so he automatically began to explain: "For some reason, the person entrusted with this task has forgotten all the memories she had before she was killed......"
Qin Gu: "Selective amnesia?"
Xiao Z: "Well, in layman's terms, it is a self-defense mechanism, when the person encounters a stimulus that is beyond his/her ability to bear or he/she is not willing to face and accept at all, subconsciously he/she will choose to forget about it......"
Qin Gu still understands this relatively well, in her original world, after experiencing that deceived incident, it took her a long time to come out of the shadows.
But even so, she didn't want to recall that past, and even when she saw some similar scenes many years later, she would resist.
It seems that the client must have experienced something so tragic before she died that her spirit could not bear it anymore and sealed this memory.
It's just that this adds a certain degree of difficulty to her task.
Xiao Z: "So now it's up to us missionaries to find out what she went through before she died...... And find the murderer!"
"I found a case of a serial murderer with a very similar beginning to this one, and we can understand this commission as the first kill of the serial murderer. And in another time and space, this case has been a mystery for many years, and even later many people followed this case, and there was a series of serial murders. And ......"
Qin Gu: "And what?"
Xiao Z: "And in the hour and space where this case first appeared, because the resentment and evil aura generated were too strong, there was already an evil force beyond the time and space that should have, and it was gradually devouring the ...... of that hour and space."
Qin Gu understood: "You mean, through this hour, the case has just happened, and it has not developed to the point of being out of control, let me go in and find the murderer?"
Little Z: "That's probably it. ”
Qin Gu: "Then, even if the murderer is found, will it be of any help to the small time and space where evil forces have already happened?"
Little Z: "Everything has its weaknesses, as long as you find its weaknesses, you can defeat them." ”
Qin Gu shamelessly asked, "How can we pass on the information we got to them?"
Xiao Z: "Dreams, and information retrieval?...... They, like us, will search for similar things and be inspired by them......"
Qin Gu: "......"
...... Just when Qingu was about to directly set up his own space-time hut and go to the mission hour, Xiao Z said: "You must not enter directly this time, you must have time to go back." ”
This time, the remuneration is already low, and the cost of going out to the space, as well as the miscellaneous expenses that may be generated, there is basically nothing left.
The cost of time backtracking is so high, you can save a little if you can save a little.
