Chapter 58: The Maze Settles
Nanjing suddenly sobered up.
She looked around, recalled the last scene before she fell into a coma, and asked eagerly, "Mr. Ji Xun, where is the ninth sister?" β
When Ji Xun heard this, he glanced at his pocket watch and said lightly, "Eight hours ago." She had already gone out first. β
Eight hours?
Nan Jing listened to the anxiety in his heart, and his eyes trembled: "But..."
Although she reacted a little slowly, she thought about it and understood why Chu Jiu went out alone first.
This is for fear of affecting her.
Ji Xun didn't prepare to be verbose, he said everything that should be said, stood up and said, "Since you are awake, we are also going to prepare to go out." β
Chu Jiu has already gone out early, at least the people who are targeting her outside should not be there.
The danger is a little less than that.
As for whether that old friend can survive, Ji Xun doesn't know.
Now all he had to think about was what to do when he went out.
They have been in the maze of the cemetery for nearly seven days.
It's definitely lively outside.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun also reminded: "The situation outside is very complicated, when the time comes, we will go out, you should be careful." β
He has his own [Shadow Voyage], and as long as there is a dark place in the wilderness of the Great Necropolis, he is certain that he can escape.
But this one is not necessarily.
Don't think she's an official spell master, but psychics aren't good at stealth and escape.
Nan Jing was obviously still thinking about the ninth day of junior high school, and his mood was not high, so he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Oh." β
Ji Xun looked at the marauder outfit on Nan Jing's body, thought of something again, took out a set of black clothes from his storage ring, and said, "You can change your clothes." Your clothes are a nuisance. There are also gas masks that have been changed, and a fur hat is worn to cover the hair together. β
This is the corpse collector's overalls.
Although Nanjing wore a hunter's suit, the punk leather suit that covered his face under the linen cloak was more like a marauder. Now that the people of the Doge's Palace are dead in the labyrinth, anyone who goes out will be suspected.
However, the corpse collectors of the Golden Oak Security Company are neutral forces, and no one would normally embarrass anyone in this profession.
If you really want to go out and be discovered, you can still have a little time to react.
Nanjing thought about it and understood what Ji Xun meant, she took the clothes and said, "Thank you." β
The corpse collector's overalls are a bit like the one-piece black coat of a chemical protection suit, which can be covered by taking off the coat.
Nan Jing got dressed and took off her gas mask, and she didn't shy away from Ji Xun.
showed his face, and he looked good.
Ji Xun glanced at it, and it was expected to be a very cute ball-headed girl, with very white skin and shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Wearing a full-face gas mask again, it was difficult to distinguish between male and female all of a sudden.
Ji Xun finally had a question in his heart, and asked again: "Miss Xiaonan, you know... Who is going to kill Chu Jiu? β
Nanjing didn't know whether to say it or not, and her eyes trembled.
But looking at Ji Xun's gaze, she still said, "It may be... Her family. β
β...β
Hearing this, Ji Xun didn't ask any more questions.
Actually, I guessed it before.
What can make Chu Jiu so depressed is probably only a very important relative.
As for why he killed her, it's puzzling.
Ji Xun didn't think much about it.
He also put on a set of excellent leather armor found in the Frost Knight's storage ring, and said, "Let's go, settle it and go out." β
Walking to the Twisted Light Gate, Enlightenment also appeared.
"Congratulations on clearing the 'Necropolis Labyrinth'"
"57% maze exploration, A-level evaluation, fixed reward 100%"
"Puzzle Master: +50% Random Draw Reward"
"Boss Slash: +0%"
"Complete Core Hidden Story Exploration*1, Treasure Chest Draw Rare Chance +35%"
"Overall Rating A-, Obtain Cleared Treasure Chest*2"
After clearing the customs, I only got an "A-" evaluation.
It was also expected by Ji Xun.
It's because there are still some key clues that haven't been found, and there are almost no monster kills.
Ji Xun and the three of them were able to clear the customs, mainly because of the passage pushed out by the group of people in the Governor's Mansion. This leaves a crucial thread missing, which is to find a way to safely avoid the Secret Keepers.
This is a trick in the "puzzle mode".
What's more, for low-level dungeons with the participation of high-level card masters, the clearance evaluation will be greatly reduced.
But in general, it's acceptable.
The lottery probability displayed by Enlightenment is also good: "55% probability of drawing common rewards, 35% black iron rewards, 9.5% silver rewards, 0.5% special rarity"
Ji Xun looked at the cards that appeared in front of him and ordered two casually.
As luck would have it, the first one saw a silver glow.
Although the clearance evaluation is not high, the hidden lottery bonus of his "customs clearance expert" is very high, and it is not surprising that he drew silver.
γRare Silver Skullγ
Quality: Silver
Explanation: Hardness +8; Rare dark bone material, containing super necromantic properties, it has extraordinary strength;
The most common material in this maze is all kinds of bones, looking at the white skull in front of him, Ji Xun feels very satisfied.
The best materials that can be produced by D-class dungeons are silver.
This is already the ultimate white-faced.
And this bone is also a general employment material for the melee department, and it is rare to see such high-quality materials on the market, and Ji Xun feels that it is good for him to use it for himself.
But after harvesting the Frost Knight's loot before, he didn't have much fluctuation in his heart when he looked at this rare material.
Found a containment card and contained the skull.
The second box had some black iron material out of it.
Luck was good, too.
But at this time, Nan Jing beside him seemed to see something that embarrassed him, and turned his head and said, "Mr. Ji Xun, I cleared the customs and opened a map." β
As she spoke, she handed over a yellowed map.
γTunnel map of the Mausoleum of the Mad King Augustusγ
Explanation: The craftsman who built the tomb of the Mad King knew that there was no hope of survival, so he cleverly left a secret escape route. Along the tunnels, you can enter and exit the legendary mausoleum.
Ji Xun looked at the map, it seemed that this was the ancient king's tomb pointed to by the labyrinth.
But it didn't say where the mausoleum was.
Maybe you'll need it later.
But now he was more curious about something else, and asked Nanjing, "What is the probability of hiding it?" β
Nanjing said: "0.01%. β
Ji Xun raised the corner of his eyes inexplicably when he listened: "..."
Really.
Since it is a probability gacha game, then there must be a European emperor and a non-chieftain.
He doesn't have to ask, he knows that Nanjing's clearance evaluation is definitely not high, probably a C.
But this probability turned out to be hidden...
Ji Xun suddenly felt that his silver material was not fragrant.
However, while his mind was still thinking, Nan Jing handed over the map, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Thank you." Without you, Mr. Ji Xun, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the labyrinth alive this time. I don't have much to thank for it, this map is more suitable for puzzle solvers like you. β
β...β
Ji Xun looked at the map that was already stuffed in his hand, and his expression was slightly strange.
This thank you can't get him going.
Although throughout the whole process, this psychic lady is indeed the role of the oil bottle in the three-person team.
So before, Ji Xun also took the trophies of the six frost knights and the jar into his own pocket with peace of mind.
Thinking that if you want to owe, you also owe it to the ninth year.
But he didn't think about it, Nanjing's "thank you" made him feel a little embarrassed.
The value of this map is not said for the time being, but the sincerity is visible.
Ji Xun chuckled, didn't ink, put away the map, and then activated the clown mask.
The two of them didn't say anything more, and stepped into the warped light gate.
......
As soon as the surrounding situation changed, Ji Xun found that they had appeared on a small dirt slope shrouded in mist.
The light was dim and there was a lot of fog.
The place name of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery refers to a large mass grave with a radius of more than ten kilometers.
And the entrances and exits of this extradimensional space are random fog masses floating over the cemetery.
So even if it was surrounded, Ji Xun didn't think that there were so many people in the Governor's Mansion.
The most important thing is that this is a cave world, there is no sun and moon, and it is impossible to cover such a large area just by relying on the lighting equipment of the steam technology era.
The situation when I came out was much better than expected, and I was lucky that I didn't have a gun pointed at my head.
Ji Xun and Nan Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
But there are light sources flickering everywhere on the barren slopes around, and it seems that there are quite a few people.
It wasn't long after the two of them came out that they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Look! The entrance to the 'Necropolis Labyrinth' has reappeared! β
This burst of shouting instantly seemed to detonate a barrel of explosives.
Lights were lit up everywhere in all directions.
"Hahaha, let's get in and get rich..."
"The people from the Governor's Mansion are also here, be careful!"
"Shake the people, the people of the Bear Hunters, rush !! with me"
"Damn, hurry up, the door is closing."
β...β
This is not a man from the Doge's Palace, but a hunter.
As soon as Ji Xun heard the howling of those ghosts and wolves, he immediately knew what was going on.
Now almost seven days have passed, and the news of the attack on Governor Cao Sihai has spread throughout the entire Innocence City.
For the hunters, it doesn't matter what the conspiracy is or not.
Now everyone knows that Governor Cao Sihai and a reorganized elite guard legion of the Frost Knight are trapped in the labyrinth.
Since it is an ambush, the layout person must have a certain grasp of the ambush.
And the [Necropolis Labyrinth] is an unlimited, extradimensional space.
If you want to end it and reopen it, either all the people inside have cleared the customs and come out, or all the people inside are dead.
Now the facts are in front of us, and none of the people in the Governor's Palace have come out.
There is a high probability that it is dead.
It wasn't a poor jingle hunter in the city, but a well-armed army of nobles!
Hunters have long been experienced with this situation.
This also means that the sophisticated equipment on the corpse of the Frost Knight is likely to be left in the labyrinth.
Anyone who finds a piece of aristocratic equipment will become rich overnight.
This is a big opportunity with a more exaggerated return rate than clearing some difficult interdimensional spaces!
......
Even Ji Xun is a little greedy.
But just think about it.
His harvest this time is enough, the jar is too sensitive, and the extraordinary means of the evil sect cannot be prevented, and running away in time is the right way.
Not only did the hunters want to go in, but those people in the Governor's Mansion must also go in to find Cao Sihai, or find clues to this ambush.
So there must be a conflict between the two groups.
The mass grave suddenly became lively.
When someone discovered the entrance to the labyrinth that had been condensed again, the sound of firefighting immediately rang out.
No one else would dare to offend the people of the Doge's Palace.
But this is the City of Innocence.
Those exiled prisoners have no fear at all, and they don't care if your uncle is a nobleman or not.
In one word, dry!
In this black-lit suburb, the monster-killing equipment is explosive, and the killing equipment is also explosive.
The fighting became more and more intense, and all kinds of guns roared.
This chaos also made it convenient for Ji Xun and Nan Jing.
Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, the two slipped away quietly.
