Chapter 10 But he's not as handsome as you!
That's where it gets interesting.
The quest is to find the Prophet named "Eye" and ask about the disaster, but the local police station tells them that there is no such thing as a Prophet in the city.
In other words, they're looking for someone who doesn't exist.
"Is there a possibility that the 'eye' is real, but the government departments of Shiwei City don't know about it?" Poplar asked.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Gu Chi's words, and there was no need to lie about what he could understand with a little checking.
"The likelihood you're talking about is there, but it's very small." Chu Tiankuo pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and analyzed: "The more backward the development of the era, the more respectful and sensitive this kind of supernatural things will be, if there is really a prophet living in the city who can understand the past and the future, the reputation should have spread all over the city, and the police should not be unable to hear the news at all." β
The people in the police station would not deliberately conceal and deceive Gu Chi, for the same reason that Gu Chi would not deceive them in this matter.
"Where did the 'eye' go?"
"I don't know, if it's so easy to find, this copy won't be S-class." Chu Tiankuo said, "We don't have to worry, it's only the first day, there is still a lot of information waiting for us to discover, find it slowly, there will always be a clue." β
That's true, but how can it slow down?
No matter what the game, players will always have a special dedication and passion for the task.
Besides, what do people do when they don't do tasks in dungeons?
They're here to clear customs, not to go on vacation.
So, after simply solving the problem of food and clothing, everyone divided into two groups and began to inquire about the news separately.
"Hello boss...... Ah, I don't buy anything, I just want to ask, do you know where the Prophet is? β
"Eh, brother, have you ever heard of a person called 'Eye'?"
"Mother-in-law, do you know the prophet?"
"What do you know?"
"Prophet."
"What first?"
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone quickly got into the groove, and asked people along the way, as if the old lady of the family had been lost.
There were four people in Gu Chi's group - he, the bell cat, the mustard soup, and the river bird.
The three newcomers are all on his side.
Oh, he's a newcomer himself.
It's just that everyone doesn't seem to see him as a newcomer?
Of course, Gu Chi would not explain.
He used his ability to hypnotize the people in the police department, and he also had this meaning.
Wearing the clothes of an old player, at least when there was a conflict in the back, Chu Tianhao and the others did not dare to move him easily.
The time to do the task passed quickly.
Before you know it, the sky is getting darker.
The three of them are still actively asking passers-by or vendors for news.
Gu Chi didn't go with them, just followed behind unhurriedly, observing the landmark buildings of each street, like a tourist from other places who came to travel, his eyes were his camera, he stopped from time to time, every time he blinked, it was like pressing the shutter button, and everything in the old era in front of him was frozen into an invisible photo and stored in his mind.
Until a certain moment.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
The bell cat stood on tiptoe and patted Gu Chi's shoulder from behind.
"Nothing." Gu Chi retracted his gaze.
Suzuki pouted at him, clearly not satisfied with the answer.
After looking at the scenery all night, she seriously suspected that Gu Chi was fishing!
But what's the solution, who made the family a big guy and helped them solve their troubles?
I can only spoil him.
Looking at the way the bell cat pretended to be angry, Gu Chi said with a smile: "Have you found any useful information?" β
"Nope." Speaking of this, the pretty little face of the bell cat suddenly collapsed, and the tail note dragged on for a long time, "I asked many people, and none of them knew anything about the prophet, nor had they heard of 'eye'. β
"Some people asked me rhetorically, what is the prophet, what does it have to do with lychees, what does it taste, and whether it is delicious or not, it is really ......."
"Eh, I don't even know how to complain!"
While the two were talking, Jiang Niao and Wasabi Soup also came over.
Just by looking at their deflated ball-like expressions, they should have found nothing like the bell cat.
It's not a matter of whether to cook or not, and there is no skill to inquire about the news from passers-by, if you haven't heard of it, you haven't heard of it, and Chu Tiankuo and the three of them probably can't find out anything.
At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the starting point to assemble.
The hotel was closed, the street was empty, no one was in sight, and it was so quiet that you could hear the singing from the dance hall in the distance.
As Gu Chi expected, after a busy night's work, they didn't find any valuable clues.
It seems that there really isn't a single person named "Eye" in this city.
Bai Yang was unwilling to say: "Continue to look for it tomorrow, I still don't believe it, it's such a big place in total, where can he hide?" β
In fact, the city is not small at all, after all, it is a city, not a town or a village, but the mission makes it clear that the Prophet is in the cityβeven if no one has heard of it.
Based on this, Poplar still insisted on his previous idea, the other party deliberately hid his identity for some reason, such as being tired of being a prophet and wanting to return to the ordinary, so he changed his name and lived an ordinary life.
"The question is, do you know what he looks like?" Chu Tiankuo asked, "Or do you know whether he is a man or a woman, old or young?" β
"Of course." Poplar snorted, "I don't know. β
Bellcat: "......"
Again, tsundere!
The night was getting thicker, and the wind was a little cooler, and a thin mist was spreading.
Bellcat couldn't help but shrink her neck.
She is sensitive to fog.
"Why don't you rest today?"
After discussing for more than ten minutes, there was no result, and everyone unanimously decided to fall asleep and get up first.
There is no difference between people's physiological reactions in the game and in reality, thirsty will be thirsty and hungry, and sleeping is essential as eating.
Anyway, there is no time limit for the dungeon, and their enthusiasm has not been answered, so it is natural to put it for a while.
Thankfully, the temporary props handed out by the system include a large sum of money that will allow them to stay in the best hotels in town.
Gu Chi didn't even pay attention to what they were saying.
The streetlights faded in the night, and he saw a man wearing a mask appear on the street in a hurry, tossing the plastic bag in his hand into the garbage can, and then hurried away, disappearing into the mist.
Lingmao also saw this scene, but didn't think it was strange, just gently pulled the hem of Gu Chi's clothes.
"Let's go, Gu Yuan."
"Oh."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
1663 Castle.
The resplendent lobby made Jiang Niao couldn't help but sigh: "Is this really an old-era hotel?" β
Crystal chandeliers with exquisite craftsmanship.
Moist and fragrant indoor fountain.
Spotlessly clean printed floor tiles.
Beautiful and atmospheric, he believes that it is a five-star hotel in modern society.
"Every era has its own capital, and the difference is only in which street lamp they should be hung on." Chu Tiankuo seemed to like to push his glasses, he walked to the bar as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Please help us open seven rooms, thank you." β
"Excuse me sir, we only have one single room left." The blonde lady checked it, and showed an apologetic smile towards Chu Tiankuo, she looked at Gu Chi and the others, and introduced: "If there are seven people, we have two suites to provide, each suite contains a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms, plus the remaining single rooms are just right, do you think it's okay?" β
Chu Tiankuo looked at the bell cat.
She is the only girl among the seven players, and the single room must be for her to live in.
The bell cat didn't answer immediately, but blinked pitifully and said to Jiang Bird and Wasabi Soup, "Why don't you two squeeze it?" β
She didn't really want to live alone.
Her past experience in the game has taught her that even if a copy seems calm and harmonious on the surface, extremely dangerous things can happen at any time.
Especially in this city, it can be foggy at night.
Lingmao, who has experienced the A-grade copy of "The Mist", is now scared when she sees the fog, if she lives in a room alone, and the fog seeps in through the window at night, or something suddenly rushes out of the fog and hits her window, she is afraid that she will be scared to cry......
"Okay." Etori and Wasabi don't mind sleeping with each other.
Probably because they are both novices, the relationship between the two has improved very quickly, and if they drink two glasses of wine after a while, they can almost be called brothers.
"Then let's open two suites." Chu Tiankuo said to the reception.
"Okay, please wait."
Check-in was quick.
Gu Chi took one of the room cards, and Chu Tiankuo took one.
Both rooms are on the 4th floor, not far away.
As for which people live in one room......
As with the previous detachments - free choice.
So as soon as Gu Chi opened the door, the three of them got in.
Gu Chi: "......"
It's really self-realizing.
Is this the potential impact of Charisma 9?
"Looks like they're all quite convinced." Chu Tiankuo said with a smile.
Gun Ash glanced coldly into the room, didn't say anything, and walked forward.
Poplar whispered: "This thing is really difficult to get along with, I have said a sentence all day long, 'gun ash, 18, agent', it's simple, my goddess is not as cold as him." β
"Maybe he just doesn't like to talk?" Gu Chi looked at the back of the gun ash and said.
"Forget it, whatever, as long as you don't drop the chain at the critical moment." Poplar said, "We'll go back and rest too, see you tomorrow." β
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Chu Tiankuo and the three of them returned to the room.
Gu Chi closed the door, looked at the three people on the sofa, and joked, "The three of you are relying on me, right?" β
"Yes." Ling Mao looked serious, "After discussion, the three of us agreed that Gu Yuan's predecessor was the most reliable. β
"Really?" Gu Chi took an unknown can of drink from the Xiaoice box and pulled it away with a "whoosh", "How is it a reliable method?" β
Suzuki: "You'll laugh." β
Jiang Niao: "You have a good temper. β
Mustard soup: "A man's intuition." β
Gu Chi: "......"
Did your intuition tell you that it's the most dangerous thing to be by my side?
"Doesn't Chu Tiankuo also laugh?" Gu Chi said.
Lingmao said honestly: "But he is not as handsome as you." β
The appearance of the characters in the game is the real appearance of the player, and cannot be modified except for special props, but at the end of the game, the player will not remember the appearance of his teammates, and can only remember an ID, but this does not affect the player's preference to team up with other high-value players during the game.
Including some NPCs, many times they will also look at the dishes according to the player's outfit and appearance, so "charm" is actually a very important attribute, and the role is not just as simple as choosing a mate.
In this regard, the river bird and wasabi soup are deeply convinced.
Do you think only women like handsome guys?
Actually, men like it too.
With the iron-clad facts on his face, what could Gu Chi say?
"Rest early."
He left a sentence and went into the second bedroom, and the master bedroom was left to the mustard soup and the river bird to squeeze.
Gu Chi took out the temporary props issued by the system and looked at them.
"Sark 5377: Morning Support Government Pistol, caliber 0.45ACP, magazine capacity 6+1"
"OPPPPO17 Pro Max: Woxing's latest phone, 1 minute charge, 50 years of standby"
Nothing special.
But the feel is okay, this gun is quite easy to hold.
Gu Chi played with it for a while and put the gun back.
After a brief wash, he lay down on the bed.
The bed was not far from the window, just in time to see the city's iconic Clock Tower.
The shape of the clock hanging on the bell tower is very special, with two dials, one blue and one yellow, and many patterns dotted between the scales.
Gu Chi wanted to write down the details on the clock as he had observed the street buildings before, but the distance was too far to see clearly.
Forget it, let's take the time to take a closer look another day.
It is said that the bell tower will ring at twelve o'clock, hoping that it will not make me sleep.
Outside the room,The three of them didn't talk anymore.,Ran for so long tonight.,I didn't feel it when I ran.,There's the enthusiasm of the first copy to support it.,Now as soon as I stop.,Touching the soft sofa.,Immediately a little sleepy.,After saying goodnight to each other, they went back to their rooms.γ
Thinking that Gu Chi was next door, Lingmao slept soundly and sweetly, especially down-to-earth.
The only fly in the ointment is that she didn't wake up naturally.
Early the next morning.
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Bellcat is woken up by a rude knock on the door.
"Who......"
"Bang bang bang!"
The man outside the door didn't speak, but knocked harder.
"Come on, don't knock."
It's annoying, it's a disturbing dream in the morning!
The bell cat got out of bed angrily, and then got up full of resentment, wrapped up in his pajamas, and pulled his slippers to the living room to open the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Knock back, be careful I knock your head off!
Bell Cat thought viciously in her heart.
Well, I can only think about it, but I can't say it.
The people who came to them were either Chu Tiankuo or Poplar, or gun ash, they were all big guys, and no one could afford to provoke them.
But the truth is, she guessed wrong-
Bellcat lowers the lock and opens the door.
What catches your eye is a face that is so ugly that it can't even be called a face.
The skin on the other party's face was shriveled and wrinkled like dead tree bark, his eyes were bulging, his mouth and nose were pus, and his body was ulcerated to the point that it was not in shape, and his body was full of red and green, exuding a disgusting rancid stench.
Bellcat: "......"
She closed the door with a calm face.
Zombie?
How can it be.
This isn't a post-apocalyptic survival dungeon, I must have opened it in the wrong way.
So Bell Cat took a deep breath and reopened the door.
"Roar!"
"Bang!"
"Ahhh There are zombies!! β
