Chapter 215: Waiting for an Opportunity
History buffs replied: "According to the literature, it's usually on Fridays. It's just that it's not clear what Friday of the month it is, and that document is missing. ”
History buffs said with a regretful look on their faces.
For a lover like him. The loss of the historical record is indeed a very regrettable thing.
When Bai Ye heard this, his heart immediately reacted.
Isn't it Friday?
Was this a coincidence, or was it intentionally arranged?
White Night couldn't help but think of what happened at that time, [Emma] urged her to leave and go to Blackwater. She was so anxious that she didn't even have a day to prepare.
Could it be that Emma already knew something at the time, which is why she did this?
White Night didn't know what else [Emma] knew but didn't tell herself. But he thinks he can try his luck anyway.
Maybe I'm lucky, and I happen to come across the so-called festival that this group of people said, so that's good.
Bai Ye made a decision in his heart.
He chatted with history buffs a few more times and made excuses to leave.
White Night looked at the people in the town. According to his observations, there are not many inhabitants here, and it is a small town that is not very large. There are only about 1,000 people in total.
This is even more bizarre. With such a large population, it is reasonable to say that there is no large-scale event, let alone a festival that can be written in a history book.
Could it be that the so-called festival activities are spread by falsehood?
Bai Ye's heart is not clear.
He took advantage of the daytime to go around the town and remember the landmarks and distinctive buildings clearly.
His camouflage is very good, and such actions seem to outsiders to be like the amusement of ordinary travel enthusiasts.
White Night was very careful not to attract anyone's attention.
When there was no one nearby, Bai Ye also opened the data perspective and made observations. He wanted to see if there were any strange creations here.
After all, there must be a reason why this place is called a weird gathering place. It can't be groundless.
But what disappointed him was. In the vast majority of the town. No trace of the strange creation was found.
This was even more strange, and even more unsettling to Hakuya than the appearance of strange creations.
There are a lot of anomalies in the town, whether it is the rules or the people here, they are quite wrong, and they fit the impression of a weird gathering place.
Only no trace of a strange creation can be found.
The anomaly of the abnormal. Bai Ye had an intuition in his heart, I am afraid that this will be an even more troublesome thing.
Is there a place here that I don't know, but I haven't found it yet?
When Bai Ye was thinking, he suddenly noticed that a group of people came over on the path in the middle of the town.
A dozen people, carrying a huge shelf on their shoulders. The shelves were full of things, covered by fabric, and it was impossible to see the contents clearly.
Something peeking out of the crack looked like a colorful fabric or something.
These people walked straight down the road, looking like no one was around. When he saw any pedestrians in front of him, he didn't even dodge them, and rushed straight over.
And the townspeople here seem to be very afraid of them. Everyone was very ordinary, talking about it and chatting there. When they saw these people coming, all the residents took the initiative to make way for them, and even some young people showed a slightly uneasy expression on their faces.
Obviously, these people are very afraid of them.
Seeing such a situation, Bai Ye had some guesses in his heart.
This Blackwater Town, I'm afraid it's not as monolithic as I thought before.
The townspeople here are also different.
Ordinary ones, like these people on the road. They should all be people who have retained a certain amount of affection. Have their own thoughts and ideas. When you see the expressionless faces of the townspeople, you can't help but be afraid.
And the expressionless townspeople, they are probably the kind of people who have a higher status here. They are the ones who come out to patrol at night, and they are the same people who carry things through the city now.
Bai Ye looked at the huge shelf they carried, and his heart flashed.
Could these things have something to do with the so-called [festivals]?
Combined with the previous historical rumors and the subtle attitudes of the people in the town's inn, Hakuya guessed that the festival here must still exist. It's just that for some reason, the people in the town have to keep it a secret from outsiders. Don't let outsiders know about the festival.
And they still hold such festivals in secret.
It is likely that the items on the shelves carried by these people were prepared for the festival. Those brightly colored fabrics should not be used in normal times. They don't look like tailors or anything like that.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately quietly followed behind these people.
The group swaggered through the city, not caring about the road conditions or the others, and obviously not noticing that there was a small tail behind them. White Night's movements are slight, and he is able to hide his tracks.
And he was careful not to let the townspeople find out what they were doing. Just pretend that the route is exactly the same.
Otherwise, if someone tipped him off, it would be very dangerous for him.
White Night followed all the way. On the way, the town became more and more sparsely populated and there were fewer and fewer buildings. Hiding the White Night has become difficult.
Luckily, those people weren't wary. They are used to such actions. That's why the white night was not exposed.
Following these people, Bai Ye actually came to a clearing.
When he was exploring the whole town just now, he didn't even see it!
The reason is that there is a visual blind spot in it, and it is extremely difficult to find that there is another road here if you don't pay attention. And it leads to a very large field.
Could it be that this is the place where the festival is held?
Bai Ye looked at these people and put the things he was carrying on the ground. Lifted the cloth and counted it.
Bai Ye could clearly see that there were a lot of red and green fabrics in it, and the long cloth seemed to be about to enclose something. Some of these fabrics are made into clothes. Plus, there were some fireworks under the clothes.
No matter how you look at it, it's all festival material.
Bai Ye was a little excited in his heart, he had been looking for so long and finally found a clue!
It was evident that the group had been preparing for the festival during the day. Tonight, it's likely that the festival will be held here!
The group counted the supplies and found that there was no problem. And he covered it with a cloth. Then they got up and left.
White Night hurriedly walked away before them to avoid being discovered.
White Night knew that this so-called festival must be held at night. And it's after the curfew, everyone goes to rest, and it starts.
He returned to the hotel. Wait until seven o'clock in the evening, when the curfew begins.
The door of the hotel was locked, and the street lights below were turned off. Bai Ye knew that it was time, he observed the situation around him, set up the automatic turret, and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to act, a mutation suddenly occurred!
In the center of his room, a black figure suddenly appeared!
Seeing the black mist gradually gather into shadows, Shiraya immediately jumped on the bed and pretended to be asleep. In fact, he squinted at the formation of this black figure.
He saw the black figure twist like a puff of black smoke to form a figure. It looked at itself, without eyes, but the white night felt the looks.
It's a very strange feeling.
Step by step, the black figure walked towards himself.
Bai Ye secretly opened the data perspective and found that there was a black sphere in the middle of the black figure.
The black orb squirmed regularly like the heart of the thing.
Bai Ye knew in his heart that this was a strange creature!
To be more precise, the black sphere at the core of this black figure should be called a strange creature. And the black figure itself is supposed to be something derived from a strange creature.
As expected, it's not that there are no weird creatures here, it's just that weird creatures are usually hidden in places that normal people can't see.
At night, this thing will appear!
Maybe I came too late last night and didn't find myself. This thing appeared early today.
Bai Ye watched silently on the surface, but in fact he had already carried his strange weapon "Gray Blade" on his finger.
In a place that cannot be seen from an ordinary perspective, a gray blade stretches out, ready to make a move on the other side at any time!
The black figure seemed to know nothing about all this, sniffing and walking towards the white night.
A little closer, a little closer.
Bai Ye remained calm and patient, just waiting for the other party to get close enough to him, and then kill with one blow!
The other party had already touched Bai Ye's side, less than fifty centimeters away from Bai Ye's face. Even with his eyes closed, Bai Ye could feel the infinite malice inherent in this strange creature.
Now is the time!
Bai Ye's body is like an arrow, and he suddenly strikes!
He instantly ejected from the bed and punched hard, hitting the black core of the strange creature with precision!
The blade of the gray blade suddenly stretched out, piercing the core of the strange creature!
"Quack—" A small scream rang out.
In Bai Ye's field of vision, the power of the explosion shattered this strange black ball, and most of the soft "shells" flew away and disappeared, leaving only a black crystal, which fell into Bai Ye's hands.
Looking at this strange black crystal, a familiar game hint popped up in front of Bai Ye's eyes:
[You have obtained E-Rank "Strange Residue"]
[Detected that you currently have no technology related to "Strange Transformation"]
[You can give the "Strange Residue" to the Craftsman, pay him, and let him help you carry out the Strange Transformation]
In front of Bai Ye's eyes, the black figure twisted and struggled in pain, making a high-pitched and small sound that did not resemble a human being, almost like ultrasound, and ordinary human ears could hardly hear such sounds.
Then, like a mist, it dissipated.
It is completely dissipated.
Bai Ye knew that this thing must be dead.
Even the [Strange Residue] has exploded, of course, it is certain death.
This time, there were three copies of [Weird Residue] at once. It proves that in fact, this black figure has a relatively strong strange ability on his body, even a little stronger than the two times he encountered Bai Ye before.
White Night looked at this thing and decided to enter the Night City game again if he had time, and he needed to quickly convert this kind of thing into combat power. Just look for the person who had the "weird transformation technology" before. Let him help build a weapon for himself or something.
The strange prop of the gray blade, tonight's performance exceeded his expectations, obviously enhancing his attack power, and has additional lethality to the strange creatures, allowing him to easily kill the opponent's weird creatures.
However, today is definitely not going to work.
I have more important work to do - go and see if there is a so-called [festival] tonight!
White Night set up a fully automatic turret in the room, and went down the window to the street where no one was around.
Tonight is still quiet, and everything is silent. Only the sound of the wind blowing through the streets and plants.
Bai Ye waited patiently for a moment. I didn't see the same group of people last night, observing the people in the building on the street to see if they were sleeping.
Could it be that they all went to the so-called [festival] and held an event?
White Night wasted no time, and immediately set off to see the hidden square of the town during the day.
Because of the matter of the black figure, I have already delayed a little time, and I can't waste any more time.
He soon came to the vicinity of the square. But I saw that it was empty.
Not to mention any festivals, even the various materials that those people piled up here during the day have disappeared!
What about things? What about people?
Bai Ye's heart sank. Could it be that he is late, and the other party has already transferred?
It is possible that this square is just a place for them to temporarily store their supplies. The actual place where the festival is held is actually somewhere else!
And because I was late, I missed such an important thing!
Bai Ye felt a little remorseful in his heart.
It's not easy for anyone to feel good. The important clue that was easy to find was lost by myself.
But White Night didn't give up because of this. He came to the vicinity of the square, constantly searching for other passages, or traces of those people.
After looking around, there are no reliable clues for the time being. But when he stood in the middle of the square, he seemed to feel a slight vibration under his feet.
Bai Ye suddenly woke up, what was going on?
Could it be that these people have not actually gone far? Where they host their events right at their feet?
He leaned down and pressed his ears to the ground. Quietly listening to the voices coming from the ground below.
Really!
If you carefully distinguish yourself, you can even hear bursts of sounds similar to music and shouts. There is also the sound of constant beating, which seems to be a group of people dancing underneath!
Is it really underground!
Bai Ye's heart suddenly became excited, finally!
