Paradise, Blue Mountains Cafe.

Now......

The glass windows around the shop were completely covered by a blood-colored curtain, and the whole café began to contract and expand in a strange rhythmic frequency, like a beating heart.

Grunt! Grunt!

It was as if something was absorbing a huge amount of blood.

Miko's figure stood at the door, yawning boredly, like a clerk guarding the door, waiting for liberation from work.

Finally......

The café stopped beating, and the blood-colored curtain slowly receded like a tide along the windows around the store, shrinking towards the figure in the center.

To be precise, the figure was wrapped in a membrane, and from the corridor, it looked like a huge heart standing upright, the size of an adult.

Click!

The membrane cracked a crack, and gradually two, three......

When the "heart" was completely cracked, the man who came out of it had deep facial features, a high nose, a bowler hat on his head, a cane in his right hand, a tuxedo against his slender figure, and leather boots on the ground were polished.

His face is of typical British descent, and he looks very handsome, however, the deep dark pupils seem to be able to see through everything, and looking at the other person's face, he will inexplicably feel a sense of fear.

The shadow behind it, as if at the angle of the spotlight, became extraordinarily large, as if it was silently wriggling and active.

The man in the tuxedo moved his hands and feet, as if he was adapting to his new body, and his body made a "click" bone bounce, which was extremely crisp.

At this moment, Miko's figure walked over with an interesting smile:

"So this is what you call a player, it's kind of interesting, I see the torrent of Destiny City, which is surging towards them."

"Including...... A hidden door here is now in your hands. ”

"You gave one of the keys to a competitor, who is said to be the number one among the players, so you should be the best, right? However, with the strength that Ling has gained now, there should be a great hope of competing for the top spot, and even have a chance to kill him, aren't you really interested? ”

The tuxedo man smiled and said, "The reward of the number one list, anyone will be tempted, so naturally it is impossible not to be completely interested." ”

"He's almost out of Paradise now, won't you take advantage of this opportunity to catch up? Since the number one has robbed you of the position that originally belonged to you, as long as you kill him, the number one will be yours again. ”

Miko's words suddenly carried a demagogic power, and the voice echoed around the area, as if there was a kind of thrill that hooked the mind and made people fall into strife.

"Put away this power of yours, it was useless to me before, and now it can't affect me."

The tuxedo man glanced at Miko lightly, shook his head and smiled:

"If you can get the top spot by simply killing one player, then you can try."

"Unfortunately, it didn't work."

"Judging from the information I've gathered, even if that guy dies, the number one won't be my turn."

"Oh?" Miko was surprised and curious, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Destiny is not mine."

The tuxedo man smiled, and did not hesitate to share his judgment, and said:

"I've noticed that everyone in this city seems to be drawn together by fate, some are doing nothing, some are destined to be."

"Judging by the information gathered...... If that guy dies, there's a monster that will crush all players and become number one. ”

"But if you keep that guy, maybe there are variables and opportunities for competition...... Hehe, I'm very interested in how the list battle will end in the future! ”

"As for my destiny, it has nothing to do with this list."

When Miko heard the words "Mandate of Heaven", her eyes lit up slightly, and her lazy expression disappeared, as if mentioning this topic could arouse her great interest.

"And what is your destiny?" She asked.

"The truth!"

The tuxedo man's gaze suddenly became more focused than ever, and the dark and deep pupils seemed to reflect the flames of the whole world, extremely bright, as if he wanted to see through the deepest secrets hidden in the endless darkness.

He seemed to be in a state of self-forgetfulness, pacing back and forth with his head down, rubbing his chin and saying:

"My intuition feels the details that are harmonious but not harmonious...... City of Destiny...... This city, the fate of each player seems to be pulled by something. ”

"From the class identities drawn at the beginning, to their exclusive talents, to the torrent of fate that each player is connected to......"

"Individuals should be scattered. But I see each individual in the city, both independent and connected. It's the individual, it's the whole. ”

"Why the hell is that......

His steps suddenly stopped, he took a deep breath, his eyes were full of excitement:

"That's an interesting question...... It involves the past, the present, the future...... It involves you, me, every aboriginal here, every player, every destiny...... There is no mystery that is bigger and more unprecedented! ”

"If one day, I can solve this mystery......"

"Then I think, this is my destiny!"

Miko's face returned to that languid look, she yawned, and said sleepily:

"Destiny, it seems to be quite interesting. But it's a pity that I'm just a dancer, I don't have any destiny, only the life of clocking in to work. Now it's time to get off work, and it's my destiny to get off work. Bye-bye, my new boss. ”

…………

After one night, the strange blood-colored eyes in the paradise disappeared strangely.

The pedestrian street is close to the streets of the outer area and is restored to its original color.

But if you look deeper, near the entrance of Xijiang Park and the old town, a faint blood mist surrounds it.

In the blood mist, you can also see vague figures, shuttling through it, which is extremely weird.

The shops on both sides of the surrounding area are covered with a blood-colored curtain, and it is impossible to see the scene inside the shops.

However, in some stores, the door is not completely closed, but is half-closed, as if you can enter.

Chen Ye came all the way to the entrance of the paradise very smoothly, and the aura of luck on this road, just like the route he walked along the lower reaches of the Xijiang River at the beginning, was gray and white, and there was no risk for the time being.

But looking deeper into the paradise, the circle of calamity entangled there is even more strange than the original lower reaches of the Xijiang River, in addition to the deep ink color, there are also chaotic lines, strangely entangled, as if outlining the absurd, treacherous, and disorderly world.

Compared with yesterday's disaster, there are still small sheds at the entrance of the park.

After surviving the game, many players realized that this park was a large dungeon, and it was likely that there were many "sub-dungeon" strategies in it.

There are dangers, but there are also chances.

So......

Some of the more daring players set up tents here, teamed up with others, and found ways to explore the park and obtain information.

Yesterday I was running out desperately, but today there are players who set up camp here!

However, after developing for so many days, some players have gained special abilities, adapted to life in strange eras, and learned the rules of getting along with weirdness. On the forum, there are also bigwigs who release various strategies, and the overall level of players' awareness of this world is also constantly improving. Fear comes from the unknown, and when they get enough information, their strategy will be more courageous than at first.

When Chen Ye came out of the paradise, several players looked at him in amazement.

It seems that I didn't expect any player to enter the park so quickly, and early in the morning, they ran out of it.

Some players wanted to stop in front of Chen Ye and ask questions......

It's a pity that Chen Ye immediately sped up his pace, and with the speed blessing of the [Wanderer's Boots], he only sped up his pace slightly, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The group of players couldn't keep up, so they had to give up.

It didn't take long......

Chen Ye's figure returned to the alley of Xining.

It's the same as it was at the beginning, but it's more deserted than it was at the beginning.

He passed by Miss Squirrelfish's shop and found that it was closed, and disappeared with Miss Squirrelfish. Along the way, I didn't see the three gluttonous figures, and I didn't meet the old woman who sold chestnuts again......

Everything seems to have changed.

Chen Ye slowed down, kept wandering, and returned to his perch.

At this moment, a melodious erhu sound came from not far away.

Hearing this familiar erhu, Chen Ye's mood finally relaxed.

For a moment, he thought that the old man Erhu might have left.

Although it was only a day apart, this long-lost erhu brought a touch of warmth.

Chen Ye turned around the alley and was about to say hello to the old man Erhu, when he suddenly took shape and found that there were two more figures in suits beside the other party.

Among them, a young man with a Japanese hairstyle and a star-like face sits on a bench and enjoys music intoxicated.

The man next to him was like a butler, holding a high-end black umbrella, standing tall and dignified, shielding the young man from the dripping and filament-like drizzle.

"Hey, you're finally back, hurry up and play a chorus, this is my new big customer!"

Before Chen Ye could speak, an uncontrollable smile appeared on the old man's face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, as if he had found a treasure.

"What's going on?" Chen Ye was stunned.

At this juncture, the surrounding aborigines are almost running out, but the old man of Erhu has pulled a new customer over?

The young man took out a hundred copper coins from his pocket, put them into the bowl of the old man Erhu as if he didn't want money, and said with a smile:

"It's so rare to hear such beautiful music in this ghost world. Hurry up and pay for the next song! ”

After saying this, his gaze fell on Chen Ye's body instead, with a warm smile:

"Eh, it turns out that you are the new apprentice in the mouth of the old erhu, why don't you come and play a song together."

"Don't worry about ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be a gamer just like me?"
