Chapter 5: The Lich
"Your name is Shi Mumu?" Shen Yi looked at the girl in front of him.
Due to the obscuration of the system, there was always a layer of fog on the other party's face that made it impossible for him to see clearly, but he could vaguely feel that this was a young girl who was not very old.
Hearing Shen Yi say this, the girl was slightly stunned, and looked at Shen Yi's eyes and gradually became vigilant: "Do you know me?"
"No, first meeting. Shen Yi replied.
"You don't react like you first met. ”
"It's just that I've heard from my friends before. Shen Yi smiled.
"Oh, can you tell me who it is?" asked Shi Mumu.
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need for that." ”
Buying the scroll, Shen Yi gave forty-five thousand points, and then turned to leave.
It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it. There are many things about Ivy that involve city secrets, and he is not allowed to reveal them at all, and he can't explain why Ivy died in the end, let alone explain this biggest failure since entering the city.
As for Ivy before she died, she asked her to help her take care of this sister. In the past, they couldn't take care of them, but now they are in the apartment area, but they are in danger everywhere. If you really want to take care of her, I'm afraid that it will hurt her, so it's better to be a high roller, and then pass by.
I didn't expect him to leave, but the other party didn't let him go.
Shi Mumu sighed leisurely: "You are Shen Yi, right?"
Shen Yi was stunned and looked back at the other party.
The girl had lifted the mist, revealing a fair, quiet face.
"You ......" Shen Yi looked at her in surprise.
Shi Mumu's face was calm: "I already know about Ivy...... Besides, the only stranger in the city who can be so generous and willing to be generous to me is probably you. ”
After only a little contemplation, Shen Yi understood: "You met Lao Meng, Luo Sheng, and the Chang family brothers, or the three of the Dragon Tooth Team?"
"Both. Shi Mumu replied: "Don't you know? Lao Meng and they have all joined the Dragon Tooth Team, and now Lao Meng is the captain of the Dragon Tooth Team, and I have fought side by side with them in the last world, and this scroll is one of the rewards of my last mission." ”
Shen Yi opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
I didn't expect that the seven people who survived the dark world would come together. But it's normal to say that the battlefield is the best team testing ground. Adventurers who have experienced life and death tribulations together in a mission are easy to establish feelings, and whether it is bravery, loyalty, wisdom, and strength have been answered in the task, isn't that what Shen Yi and Hong Lang were like at the beginning? Forming a team under the condition of mutual satisfaction and colluding is closer to reality than the company-style way of recruiting members.
After all, loyalty, bravery, and trustworthiness are far more important to adventurers than strong personal strength.
Now that Shi Mumu already knew about Aiwei, Shen Yi was also happy to save some lips.
"Ivy's soul is still in the Soul Stone, would you like to see it?" he asked.
Shi Mu Mu is a flute.
Shen Yi had already taken out the soul stone and handed it to Shi Mumu's eyes, and the girl in the stone closed her eyes slightly, sleeping quietly, like a quiet sleeping beauty.
Shi Mumu looked at it stupidly, and finally sighed: "They didn't tell me this." ”
"They don't know. ”
"Thank you for giving Ivy a glimmer of hope. ”
"That's what I should have done, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before...... I just don't know what to tell you. ”
"I can understand that. Shi Mumu smiled: "Some things have passed, just let it pass." ”
"yes. Shen Yi smiled.
The two of them stood and talked for a while, Shen Yi told Shi Mumu about them and Ai Wei fighting side by side, Shen Yi tried his best to pick a good one, saying that she had a soft personality and made everyone like it, Zhou Yiyu pursued her desperately, and also said that Ai Wei's ability brought endless benefits to everyone.
When it came to her deathbed entrustment, Shi Mumu glared at Shen Yi resentfully, as if complaining that Shen Yi had never come to find him, but there was really nothing to find when she thought about it, she was not an old man in the family who had a difficult life for a dead comrade-in-arms on the other side, everyone had to fight on the line of life and death, and it was no good to be too sad and sad, so he understood Shen Yi.
After chatting for a while, Shen Yi saw that there was not much time, and said to Shi Mumu: "I'm sorry, I have to go." ”
"In a hurry?"
“...... Yes. ”
Shi Mumu thought for a while, took out a note and wrote a few words on it and handed it to Shen Yi: "This is Lao Meng's address in the third district, they have always admired you, I think if you have any trouble and need to ask them for help, you should not refuse." ”
In addition to training, most of the adventurers in the city eat and enjoy, and their lives are quite leisurely, and there are very few people who are really in a hurry, so Shi Mumu can easily guess that Shen Yi may have some trouble.
Shen Yi took it with a smile: "I was about to ask you to come...... Thanks, you're such a smart girl. ”
―――――――――――――
Bidding farewell to Shi Mumu, Shen Yi went to the Western District to meet Wei Na. It's not difficult to find Wei Na, they have been in contact all this time, just half a month ago, Eternal Night just rose to the apartment area, and gave the address to Shen Yi.
After hearing this, Wei Na immediately took Shen Yi to a room, where the two of them spent three hours alone, during which they were so anxious that a certain member of the team who had a crush on Wei Na's Eternal Night was almost slamming the door, lest there be some "communication outside of work" - this is not unwarranted speculation, Wei Na has expressed her affection for Shen Yi more than once, and Shen Yi really does not look like a gentleman who can sit still.
As for whether anything happened between the two, to be honest, no one knows, anyway, when she came out, Weina's eyes were full of resentment. This resentment can be explained by the desire for dissatisfaction, or it can be explained by the fact that Verna has once again failed to take advantage of the transaction.
"So...... That's it. ”
"Well, if there's more than I can do, you'll have to pay for the chips. ”
"I will, baby. Shen Yi kissed her lightly on the face, which is considered a courtesy and a bargain, this chick has good skin, much more delicate than ordinary American women, and it may have something to do with her former status as a cosmetics researcher.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, you could have stayed a little longer. Vina said seductively.
"Nope. Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm very busy today, I still have to see a few more friends." ”
"Beauty again?"
"No, on the contrary, after all this time, I have to wonder if he is still human. Shen Yi replied with a smile.
Leaving the Western District, Shen Yi returned to the Eastern District and went to meet Lao Meng according to the address given by Shi Mumu.
Although he was already mentally prepared, the moment he saw Lao Meng, Shen Yi couldn't help but gasp.
Where is the appearance of a human being?
Today's Lao Meng is almost a skeleton with a layer of skin on his body. In the deep sunken eye sockets, it is no longer the pupils of humans, but the turquoise fire is shining.
If such a dignity is thrown into the camp of the undead, it is unreasonable for those undead not to regard him as their own, and this image alone can gain the favor and trust of those heroes in the camp of the undead.
Perhaps because his image is too scary, Lao Meng has long been black cloth and looks like an executioner in the Middle Ages.
For Shen Yi's visit, Lao Meng was also a little surprised.
"Why are you here?" Old Meng's voice became hoarse and shrill due to the corrosive vocal cord muscles, like the noise of two bone pieces rubbing against each other.
"Come and meet an old friend, what, aren't you welcome?"
"Of course not, if you don't dislike it, just sit inside. Lao Meng smiled and invited Shen Yi to enter the door.
After entering the door, Shen Yi found that he had almost entered a cemetery of the dead. The room was cold and dark, full of mysterious ghosts. There was no extra furniture in the room, except for an altar in the center, on which were carved with strange runic marks and blood flowing. There was a ghostly cry in my ears, but I didn't know where it came from.
Shen Yi's brows furrowed: "Hell, this is your residence, not your experimental ground." ”
"Is there a difference? I've been transformed into a half-lich body, and I don't need sleep now. ”
"It seems that you have made a lot of progress during this time, why are you a half-lich?" Shen Yi really couldn't find a place to sit, so he could only stand and talk to Lao Meng. As for drinking tea, don't even think about it, there is no kitchen in this house. Shen Yi really wants to ask if you don't even need to eat food, you just gnaw bones every day. But thinking that this question was too straightforward, I didn't ask it.
Lao Meng replied: "The full lich has eternal life, but it has an Achilles' heel, that is, the life box, and the life box cannot be put into the blood crest. You also know that we adventurers can have no strengths, but we can't have weaknesses. So I chose to become a half-lich physique, which is not as strong as a real lich, but it also removes the vital weaknesses of humans, and there is no so-called lifebox flaw. ”
"Sounds like you're happy with the situation?"
"Hey, hey, hey......" Lao Meng Jian laughed, and Shen Yi was terrified when he heard this voice: "What is there to be satisfied with." If I could, of course I would choose the human body, but that's the way things are, and if you want to get something, you have to give something. This path is my own choice, and I am willing to bear it, it's as simple as that. ”
Saying that, Lao Meng looked at Shen Yi: "Okay, tell me your intentions, you don't seem to be the kind of person who likes to walk the streets." ”
"Does that sound so utilitarian to me?"
"More utilitarian than I say. Lao Meng said politely.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "Okay...... Then I'll get straight to the point, there's a mission that suits you perfectly, would you be interested in working with me?"
"What task?"
"Warcraft, a large number of hidden missions in the undead camp. ”
Old Meng's emerald phosphorus eyes immediately flashed: "Do you have information on the hidden mission of the undead camp?"
"Very much!" Shen Yi replied affirmatively.
"Where did it come from?"
"It's classified. ”
Lao Meng took a deep breath: "Let's go, let's go to the Chang family brothers' room to sit down, that is the place to entertain and talk, and you can also meet old friends by the way." ”
"Gladly. "To be honest, Shen Yi doesn't even want to stay in this ghost place for a minute.
