Chapter 217: Important Clues!
As soon as the white night was hidden, the underground gate opened again.
The townsfolk streamed out. One by one, they still stood straight, as if they wouldn't bend over. His eyes were staring straight ahead.
After everybody came out and closed the door. They lined up in a long line and walked into the distance.
White Night watched them leave and return to the town, and waited patiently for a while.
He didn't go back, he went back underground!
He wants to see if the plant he wants is in it!
As for the strange creature, White Night has the courage to fight it alone.
I couldn't show my face just now, because I was afraid that when I was fighting that strange creature, these townspeople would come to interfere with me. There are about 100 people in the townspeople underground, and once they interfere with themselves, it will be very troublesome.
White Night returns to the dark underground cavern.
The festival costumes used by the townspeople are stacked here. Strangely enough, by this time the clothes had lost their original color. The bright red, the bright green, have all turned gray.
Bai Ye didn't have time to pay attention to these things, and the first thing he did was to turn to the back of the big stump to see if there were any blue flowers.
Unfortunately, the back of the big stump is no different from the front. And there were no plants he wanted.
Bai Ye managed to look at the middle of the big stump again, but he didn't see anything except a piece of pitch-black wood.
He was on the lookout for the strange creatures just now. But after looking here for a long time, the other party had no intention of appearing, and even that weird atmosphere was gone.
When the festival was held just now, the feeling that this cave gave Bai Ye was that it made him feel cold, which was extremely strange.
But at this time, the whole cave is the feeling of an ordinary cave. It couldn't be more common.
There is no sense of malice.
White Night opened the data perspective, but did not see any strange creatures.
He speculated that the creepy wasn't trying to do that. It is very likely that certain conditions must be met for it to appear.
For example, it has to be a Friday night. Otherwise, why did the townsfolk have to choose this time for the festival?
In other words, for the strange creature to appear, the townspeople must make strange noises and "summon".
If these conditions cannot be met. The strange creature may not show up.
Bai Ye had a hunch that the drug he was looking for was probably in what the strange creature said just now. It's a pity that I don't understand it at all, and I don't know what that thing is talking about.
It seems that he can only look for the person in Night City who helped him build a strange weapon last time. If anyone can understand something like this, he is the only one.
After searching for the night and finding nothing else, he returned to his hotel room while no one was looking.
It was late at night, around twelve o'clock in the evening. Hurry up, and there will be some opportunities in the game. Bai Ye hurriedly opened the game.
He pressed the "V" mark and started the game.
The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, the fluorescent red font slowly emerged.
[Passionate dreamers, you have returned to Night City again]
I didn't have time to look at anything else, so Bai Ye came directly to the abandoned dock in the industrial area.
[The yellow delivery robot stood quietly in place and waited.] It was as if he knew that someone was going to contact him. 】
[You find a delivery robot and ask him to send a letter for you for a fee.] The robot opens its parcel and there is an envelope that looks familiar, the same one you used to last contact that person. 】
Bai Ye complained in his heart, this weird item maker is quite saved, and he won't change the envelope he has used for so long.
I don't know if he's frugal or too picky.
[You write your request on a piece of paper, and transmit the audio message you recorded to the chip inside.] You don't know what kind of reward the other person wants, so you can only wait for his reply for a while. 】
[After putting the envelope away, the yellow delivery robot walks to the dock and jumps from it.] 】
[In less than five minutes, the delivery robot came from the other direction. You take the envelope and find that this time the other party actually took the initiative to pay the postage of 0.5 US dollars. 】
[In the letter, he looks very excited.] 】
"Thank you so much, brother! The weird creature sounds you recorded are so rare that they can even make me upgrade from an ordinary weird item maker to a human craftsman! ”】
When Bai Ye saw this, he realized that before he came, this strange item maker had never been a human craftsman. It wasn't until this chance that he became a craftsman?
I don't know what the difference is between a craftsman and an ordinary maker of strange items?
Bai Ye pondered, continuing to read what was written in the envelope.
["In order to express my gratitude to you, I will not charge you a penny this time. And I promise that you will be my VIP customer in the future and enjoy the supreme treatment. ”】
["Okay, no more nonsense, I'm a little too excited today. The recording you sent, I've translated it for you, and it's attached to the chip. Plus, give you an extra spooky item. This thing allows you to mingle with the weird people and be considered your own kind. ”】
["Remember, the strange creatures you find are very dangerous. Its strength is not something that ordinary people can compete with, so please try to avoid a fierce conflict with it, which will lead to a loss of life. ”】
["Looking forward to meeting you next time, your faithful craftsman friend, Ziz. ”】
White Night looked at the contents of the email. This time it was really rewarding beyond his imagination.
The other side was not only very enthusiastic, but also gave him an extra weird prop.
Moreover, Bai Ye finally knew the name of this new human craftsman: Zizi.
It looks very strange, and I don't think most people think it's a human name. It's more like some kind of rat or something like that, and it will give itself a name.
However, after all, he is a human craftsman, and the guy who has been dealing with strange creations all year round has a strange name, which is nothing.
White Night closes the game and takes out two things from his inventory.
The same is a chip with a translator. And the other was a gift from the craftsman.
This new spooky prop is a black mask. It feels very cold to the touch, as if it was cast from pig iron.
According to the man-maker, by wearing this mask on his face, White Night can blend in with the town's weirdos, who see him as part of their own people. Be their companion.
White Night tried to put the mask on, but there was nothing special about it. He walked to the mirror and found that he was just an ordinary person with a black mask, and at most he couldn't see his face. I don't know how this thing can do what the craftsman said.
When it came time to wait for tomorrow night, Hakuya decided to give it a try. Let's see if this thing works.
He put the mask down for the time being, took out the chip, and transferred the contents of the chip to the hacker chip in his mind.
That's the most important thing. Through what the strange creatures say, you can know their arrangements later, and it is convenient for you to act.
You might even hear about the Blue Flower.
White Night was looking forward to these things.
Turning on the voice, he heard a hoarse voice.
[Lord: "You are here.] How's going in town? ”
Subordinate: "Report to the Supreme Lord, everything in the town is going as you wish, as you wish. No one knows our secrets. Our plans are also well underway. ”
Lord: "It's like this every time, I hope you don't lie to me." ”
"That precious blue plant is about to bloom. According to my prediction, the time should be as high as midnight tomorrow. ”
"This is a very precious opportunity to open up, and it must be seized. You're going to have another festival tomorrow, and it has to be the most solemn of all, to celebrate the blooming of the blue plants. I must be satisfied when the time comes. ”】
Hearing what the Venerable Lord said, Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised!
Really! Sure enough, it's the news of the blue flower!
He was 100% sure that the so-called "precious blue plant" that the Lord said was the target he was looking for, the blue flower that could cure his own disease.
The hard work paid off, and I finally found the traces of this thing.
According to the news of the so-called "Venerable Lord", the blue flower will bloom tomorrow night. And the open place should also be in the cave where they are located.
Bai Ye made a decision in his heart that he had to be ready, and tomorrow was the most important moment.
It's a matter of success or failure!
He continued to listen to the conversation between the Lord and his subordinates.
[Subordinate: "As you wish.] Everything will be arranged according to your will. ”
Lord: "What about the sacrifices?" Is there enough sacrifice? ”
Subordinate: "That's enough." Three sacrifices had already been prepared before, and today another merchant from another out-of-town was completely controlled by us. Four people represent 4 directions. There can be no mistake. ”】
Hearing this, Bai Ye was shocked, and sure enough, the merchant next door had already been killed!
It must have been done by the black figure who appeared in his room.
Bai Ye thought in his heart, that guy should have wanted to attack him. But he wasn't in the room, so the unlucky one became a businessman.
Bai Ye sighed in his heart, it's a pity.
If he wants to save the businessman, he should have no chance. Because when he went out during the day today, the businessman's expression was already very different from usual. Hakuya suspected that he had already been replaced with something strange just like the townsfolk at that time.
The conversation continues.
Lord: "Very well, you have finally done something that satisfies me. So be it, let's disperse today. Prepare for tomorrow's important event. ”
Subordinate: "Supreme Lord, we have one more thing to report. Just a few minutes ago, a surrogate suddenly lost his tracks, and we don't know what happened. Want to investigate? ”】
Surrogate?
When Bai Ye heard this unfamiliar term, he guessed that it might be the black figure that appeared in his room, that is, the strange creature.
It seems that within the spooky creatures, different creatures have different names.
The agent is the guy who does things. And the title of the lord should be a relatively large leader who rules all of them.
He killed the surrogate, and the townsfolk knew about it right away. There must be some special way of contact between them. It is also possible that there is a way of sensing between them, allowing them to know whether their companion is alive or dead.
The white night was almost exposed.
But even so, he didn't regret it, after all, that thing wanted its own life. And Bai Yexin has a hunch that if he wants the blue flower, he will definitely conflict with them. It's something you can't avoid.
The conversation continues.
[Lord: "The Substitute is missing?] ”
"Forget it. Tomorrow is a very important and critical time, and the things of the vicar will be talked about later. The most important thing is the precious blue plant. Prepare the festival and the offerings, and make no mistake. ”
Subordinate: "Yes! ”】
And then there was a rustle. That's the end of the speech.
This is the conversation between the strange creatures and the townspeople that Hakuya hears in the cave.
Bai Ye's heart was excited. I'm finally able to get the plant I want, what could be better?
He decided that tomorrow during the day, he would follow the whereabouts of the townsfolk and see what they were supposed to be preparing for.
In addition, you can wear a mask yourself during the day and blend in with their ranks to see if they can spot themselves.
Of course, such a thing cannot be done in front of other people.
Otherwise, I would be wearing a black mask in broad daylight, so I don't think anything is right. As long as there are normal people, they will definitely doubt themselves.
It would be great if the black mask proved to be effective. In the evening, you can blend in with their ranks on time. Move with them at the back of the line, pretending to be one of their own.
No matter what they do, they just need to make up for it. During the festival, you can hide to the side, just like last time. When they summoned the Lord and the blue flowers bloomed, they would find a way to get the plants in their hands, and then it would be as simple as running out of town.
If it went well, he wouldn't even need to fight the Lord.
You have a car in your inventory. He didn't believe that the speed of the other party's strange creature was faster than the speed of his own high-speed driving.
If the mask doesn't work, it's not impossible. Then it will be the same as tonight, and when the townsfolk have entered, they will act on their own.
It's a bit more cumbersome, but the specifics won't change.
White Night made a plan to prepare the fully automatic turret to prevent something from attacking him at night. Then lie down in bed and rest, recharge your batteries, and prepare for tomorrow's action.
