Chapter 40: The Monster ...... Resurrected? (1/2)
For several days, countless tasks surrounded Feng Wuwu, and every time he had just finished the previous task, the next task had already appeared in his hands, and he could only take a little rest when it was time to eat.
On this day, after completing the task, Feng Wuwu dragged his tired body and walked on the way home. Before I got home, someone suddenly appeared on the way and blocked the way.
Feng Wuwu paused for a moment, didn't notice how the person in front of him appeared, he was so tired that he just wanted to hurry home and sleep.
With the help of the lights on both sides, Feng Wuwu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and after finding that it was an unfamiliar face, he withdrew his gaze, and then ...... Bypassed each other.
Strange Man: "......"
The man looked at the back of Feng Wuwu leaving, as if he wanted to say something, and with the help of the light, the man's frown and the anger in his eyes could be clearly seen.
It wasn't until Feng Wuwu's figure disappeared into the darkness that the man showed a slightly mocking smile, "What an uneducated little ghost." ”
......
The next day at noon
Finally, when it was time to eat, Feng Wuwu hurriedly pulled Amber to the deer hunter for dinner.
"Huhu, I can finally rest for a while, this day is really ...... I can't stand it anymore, I'd rather train every day than do tasks all the time, and I want to vomit when I hear the word mission now. Looking at the fried meat with carrots in honey sauce that had just been served, Feng Wuwu sighed, the heavy task made the food lose its original deliciousness, so that he couldn't even raise his appetite at all.
Amber also felt the same way, and casually said what she thought: "That is to say, the badminton festival in previous years obviously didn't have so many tasks, why is this year so busy." ”
"Wasn't that the case before?" Feng Wuwu closed his eyes and put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewing mechanically.
"No, there weren't so many people in previous badminton festivals." Amber, who always has a smile on her face, can't smile anymore at this time.
"Really...... Let's eat. ”
A morning's work has exhausted the bodies of the two people, and no one wants to waste their physical strength by talking too much during the long-lost rest time.
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them emptied the food in their bowls one after another, and their strength also recovered.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, Feng Wuwu couldn't help but take a breath, and after two seconds, he slowly highlighted a breath of turbidity and said lightly: "Finally...... Came to life. ”
"I'm alive too."
"Anyway...... How many days does the badminton festival start? ”
Amber was silent for a moment, "...... There is still half a month. ”
The wind's carefree breathing suddenly stopped for half a beat.
"Mom...... There is still half a month, I am no longer alive, and I have to apply for a vacation. Feng Wuwu almost collapsed on the table.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, and the head of the piano hasn't rested yet." Amber's eyes flickered slightly, and she also wanted to take a vacation.
“...... I'm just complaining. Originally, Feng Wuwu still had a little hope in his heart, but after Amber carried the head of the piano out, this hope was directly shattered.
"By the way, I seem to have met a strange person yesterday." Feng Wuwu unconsciously held chopsticks and poked around in the bowl.
Amber looked at him curiously: "What kind of person?" ”
"Hmm, a strange mustachioed uncle."
"Little ...... Uncle Mustache? ”
"At first glance, he is not a good person, sneaking around in the middle of the night."
Amber thought for a moment and guessed, "...... Maybe someone came looking for you? ”
The chopsticks in his hand accidentally jumped out of the bowl and fell onto the table.
"How is it possible, I don't know him." Feng Wuwu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Besides, why didn't you talk when you really wanted to find me, it couldn't be a dumb person." ”
"That's just as well."
"Forget it, no matter who it is, let's take a good rest, and we'll go to work again later."
Hearing the word work, Amber suddenly grimaced and stopped talking.
Busy times always pass quickly, and when the sunset fades a little red, Wind Carefree ends one last mission to return the lost cat to its owner.
Deer hunters
While waiting, Feng Wuwu proposed: "Otherwise, let's go on a mission outside the city tomorrow, at least it will be easier to go outside." ”
"That's ...... Not so good. Amber hesitated.
Hesitation means not completely refusing.
Feng Wuwu was happy in his heart, and said quietly on the surface: "What's this, we're not lazy, we're going outside to help clean up the monsters." By the way, I remember you said before that the monsters have been restless again lately, and it was the right time for the two of us to go out and kill them all. ”
"It not only maintains order in Mondstadt and protects the safety of the people, but also relieves the pressure on the Knights, killing three birds with one stone."
Amber thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, and only reacted after a while: "That's not right, there are already people from the Knights cleaning up the monsters outside, and we don't seem to be able to help much in the past." ”
Feng Wuwu froze.
Then he coughed lightly twice, and quickly ended the topic: "Anyway, the people of the Knights will definitely be much easier with our help, and besides, if they encounter an abyss mage, I can also help, it's not that I am talking big, with their current strength to deal with that kind of monster, it is easy to have casualties." ”
Amber was silent for a while, and then suddenly showed a knowing smile, "Oh~~~ So you just want to be lazy." ”
A word to pierce.
Feng Wuwu's embarrassed face turned red.
"No, how can you say I'm lazy, I obviously want to help them reduce their stress and think about their safety......"
"Okay, I didn't say I disagreed."
"Huh? You ......"
Amber had a smile on her face, "Actually, if you don't say it, I'll bring it up." ”
The expression on Feng Wuwu's face became even more strange, and he subconsciously asked, "What is this?" ”
"Actually...... This was arranged by the head of the piano troupe. ”
Feng Wuwu raised his eyebrows, "Captain Qin?" ”
Over the next few minutes, Amber told him everything that had happened.
The cause of the incident happened a few days ago, when the Knights were cleaning up the monsters in the field, a very small number of hilichurls had a strange 'resurrection' phenomenon, and the knights didn't care about it at first, but subconsciously thought that they were not dead, and it would be good to re-mend the knife. But as time went on, the phenomenon became more and more common, and the knights finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
The monster that had been killed had actually come back to life, which caused an uproar among the knights. And these living monsters seemed to be left with only madness and chaos, indiscriminately attacking any living creature in front of them, this crazy scene for those young knights, was tantamount to throwing their three views to the ground completely, crushing and rubbing hard.
And these crazy hilichurls have one obvious trait, and that is - black mist wrapped around their bodies.
The strange black mist that lingered on the monster's body would only dissipate once again when the monster died again, a valuable piece of information they had gathered after they had paid the price of several knights' injuries.
And this conclusion was obviously handed to the desk of the head of the Qin troupe......
