Chapter 188: The Ancient City of the Dead (Free 1w3)

[Because the ancient city of the dead involves anti-ri, it has been rectified, so I put it here for free! ] Bow β€”β€”! 】

……

"A long, desperate winter, an earthfire covered in ice, a shocking dash, the backbone of a rebel ......"

The walking bridging person suddenly fell silent.

The joyful singing made the glazed surfaces on both sides fluctuate like water lines, and the hexagram in the square bricks also shook, blurring the traces of ink.

The Mad Hatter hummed an inexplicable song, suspiciously out of tune, and wouldn't give a look to the people on either side who were looking at him with bated breath.

"Sir, please wait a minute."

Suddenly someone spoke behind him, and the Mad Hatter stopped his steps, and watched the girl approach with a signature pad in confusion.

"I, I've been following your channel," the bold bridging linker said worriedly, his eyes still shining, "Can I ask for a blessing?" I'm about to test the waters of Keneq! ”

"Of course you can, respect is the bottom line, and respect for ladies is a necessary etiquette."

The Mad Hatter reached out and took the pen in her hand, tilted his head, and smiled:

"Do you only need to sign it? Need any other blessings? ”

"It's all right!" The girl couldn't help but get excited, her hands clenched uncontrollably, and her face was slightly red.

"Okay."

The Mad Hatter writes his blessing on the signature pad and signs his name.

"Then I wish you all the best in your test of the waters, excellent and beautiful lady."

The Mad Hatter returned the pen board after signing, reached out and lifted it on his head, as if he had taken off an invisible top hat, and made a simple gentleman's salute of taking off his hat, behaving elegantly and inexplicably weird.

"Thank you for your support."

As he said this, he bowed slightly, his white hair was slightly silver, his long eyelashes were ceremoniously hanging down to cover his eyes, and the light golden pupils set off his whole person with an indescribable divinity.

Like a gentleman left over from an old era and acting like crazy.

The girl covered her mouth with one hand and clenched the signing pad with the other, almost screaming in excitement.

The Mad Hatter straightened up and walked to the innermost door.

"Ekhi's regular customer, known as the 'crazy gentleman' in the game, don't look at him as normal now, he started to go out of kind when he entered the game."

Song Jingyun sighed: "Often you will go crazy if you don't even use the brand, you can't control your temper at all, and you don't need to be affected by the boss to start a mess, and almost every time you crash out." ”

Sang Ting nodded: "Will we fight him in the game?" ”

"If we try to win the 'first sequence', we're going to run into him - but try not to meet the Mad Hatter before the global tournament, if you accidentally do it at the continental ...... Hiss. ”

Song Jingyun's fingertips holding the copper coin were numb, and he suddenly gasped, and the copper coin was taken off.

Sang Ting's eyes moved faster, and he kicked the copper coin with his toes, and grabbed the palm of his hand in mid-air.

"What's going on?" Sang Ting frowned and threw the copper coin to Song Jingyun.

"It doesn't feel right," Song Jingyun suddenly felt bottomless in her heart, "I have an ominous ......"

[All Frontier Channel News: IMAX Theater in Zone 1 - Channel 1 has been opened, access to the Connector Mad Hatter Channel Line! ] You can enjoy Zone 1 teleportation privileges without having to enter the portal. 】

The channel prompt suddenly sounded, and Song Jingyun was excited: "When did I pay attention to the Mad Hatter?" ”

He hissed and scratched his chin, "Oh, remembered." It was two days ago when their club bought a sailor to support. If you pay attention, you will be given 100 game coins, if you praise you, you will be given 100 game coins, and if you step on other club players, you will be given another 100, and I will take the first 200. ”

"You really let me know what it means to be 'stupid to be cheap'." Sang Ting was convinced.

"Really? Why don't you say that your boss will take revenge, take it by force, and pluck the goose? ”

Song Jingyun said several words in a row, and clicked on the new prompt, "And your boss still doesn't look down on other people's hairs, and he directly picks up people's skins and wants to sell other people's kidneys...... I'll go?! ”

Song Jingyun's eyes widened in shock, and his chin was about to hit the instep of his foot: "What kind of fame?!" ”

[Channel News: The professional player you follow - Quan Heng has opened a new map ......]

Viewing platform coordinates: Zone 4-6

【Ding Dong!】 The "first sequence" privilege has been detected, and the VIP viewing channel has been opened for you, entering the online exclusive viewing platform]

The top floor of the Empire of Thorns.

The Forbidden Queen glanced at the large LCD screen suspended in front of her, and the channel that had not yet started was black, so she withdrew her gaze and dropped sunspots on the chessboard.

"Ah Heng didn't deal with the affairs of the seventh layer, but he could dry that group of people enough, like ants in a hot pot." She crossed her legs, her black slim gauze skirt shining like stars, and the wind on the top floor gently blew the top corner.

"That's the right decision. You can't be anxious about the group of thorns on the seventh layer," the person holding the white son chuckled, "But the group of people on the seventh layer were still afraid that Quan Heng would settle accounts with them, and they wanted Nirvana to take refuge before, but recently they suddenly stopped. ”

Taboo picked up the red wine glass on the table, took a sip, and laughed, "It's just a bunch of idiots." ”

"Humans are mostly stupid, and you have to understand that." "But she did go to Ekhi this time, and I thought she would be a little more conservative and choose Keneq." ”

"That's because you're overlooking one thing."

The Taboo Queen looked at the blonde man dressed as a priest opposite:

"Tomorrow when the Continental Tournament starts, the door to Ekhi will be closed – or the door to the heart of the new world will be closed. We're starting to prepare, and the monsters are getting ready, which means today is the last chance to see how difficult the global competition is. ”

"The First Sequence clearance has been used for so long, I'm going to forget about it." The blonde priest bowed his head slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me." ”

Taboo bowed his head, and the blonde priest praised as he looked up: "Your Majesty has excellent vision, and there are very few newcomers who dare to enter Ekhi, and she is as graceful and courageous as you." ”

"What I like, nature is the best."

The Forbidden Queen looked at him meaningfully, "But Father Crescent Moon is here just to play a game of chess with me?" ”

The man dressed as a priest pursed his lips, and a small bee with a miniature horn buzzed down on his shoulder.

"I'd like to talk to you about the Mad Hatter."

"It turns out that something happened to the ace of the clan, no wonder," Taboo smiled, "If you're talking about his madness, there's nothing I can do." ”

She shook her red wine glass lightly, turned her head to look at the glow of the red sky, and looked far away:

"If a person has to pursue the ultimate freedom, he will inevitably become a madman. His biggest cause was that he realized what 'freedom' was before he was put in prison, so he drove himself crazy. ”

The Forbidden Queen drank the red wine in one gulp, and her eyes as charming as the deep sea revealed an inconspicuous mockery.

"But it also stems from his vulnerability, he is a coward who only evades, and is afraid of taking responsibility, just like his cowardly father - as for the freedom he wants to seek, maybe he can get it by ripping off his skull."

"Please don't do that."

Father Crescent lowered his eyes and tapped the cross on his chest, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes already noticeable.

"He's a good boy, with the sorrows and pains of normal people - the dirt of fate is not his fault, his madness is all about fighting, I don't want him to fall like a meteor, so I'm here to ask you."

"The Dirt of Fate......

The Forbidden Queen got up, her ankle-length black gauze skirt made her more elegant and tall, she pulled down the wide black brim slightly, and her red lips curved a little perfunctory: "Then let the ridiculous fate save him." ”

Bite! "The Ancient City of the Dead" officially opened.

The floating screen suddenly issued a prompt:

Mad Hatter?!

The Forbidden Queen was slightly stunned, then turned to look at the Crescent Moon Priest sitting beside her, her gaze sweeping over the little bee on his shoulder.

- Brainwave communication items.

Suddenly, the blue eyes were like the sea full of clouds, brewing danger:

"What do you want to tempt?"

"As you can see," said the priest, whose temples were pale, in a calm voice and a silent gaze, "seek the favor of fate for the child shrouded in twilight, and seek a salvation from the dawn." ”

……

[Channel News: The professional player you follow - Quan Heng has opened a new map and set off in a group! ] You can click to query the coordinates of the conveyor port of the viewing platform! 】

Viewing platform coordinates: No. 6 viewing platform in District 4

In the Border of Day and Night, Yan Su walked towards the portal.

Kwon Heng?

Oh yes, the bridging person that Deputy Tang cares about.

Yan Su pressed his temples a little tiredly, he had just finished Vlam, and his mental state was not too good.

Except for the games he has to play every three days, he basically spends the rest of his time in the research room, and even the forum rarely opens to take a look.

I don't know if it's the reason for the increasing number of people in the past generations, the anchoring of the new world is becoming more and more frequent, and the invasion of the human world is also more rapid.

Those of them who are doing research must develop new products based on the evolving status quo of heterologous, and improve containment methods and storage materials.

"She's only been in the game for more than a week, and I've only heard that she's unlocked a lot of achievements and broken a lot of records, but I didn't expect to be in the fourth area - it's a high-sequence gathering place over there, let's go and see it first."

Yan Su thought as he walked towards the teleportation area of the viewing platform, "There are so many achievements unlocked, and there are a lot of buff rewards for that sequence." Her sequence should have been upgraded to A, last time it was Keneq, is it still going to stabilize Keneq this time? ”

"You don't know what the forum blew up, but I didn't expect her to actually get into Ekhi!!"

The passers-by were so excited that they danced, "I knew that our sister Quan was awesome!" I specifically bet on her [over Ekhi], and I didn't expect to win! Although the gambling rate is not as outrageous as before, I have earned enough transit tax this month!! ”

Ekhi?

Yan Su's mind was like a firecracker exploded, and his tired brain was directly shocked to semi-consciousness, and muttered:

"Isn't Quan Heng the fourth time? She's a newcomer, isn't it the chief and deputy who will enter Ekhi? ”

Yan Su couldn't help but rub his ears with his palms, suspecting that he had a serious hearing impairment.

"Okay, I know that Quan Heng is amazing, look at what excites you, I will also suppress it."

The companion muttered, and the two of them walked beside Yan Su and heard it clearly, "It's just that both sides are pressed, and they earn less." ”

"Quan Heng is simply fragrant now, to be precise, it should be her gambling plate fragrant!"

The person who won the money jumped up and said excitedly: "I know anyway that I have to suppress Quan Heng, and I am sure that I can earn it!" Anyway, the difference in the gambling market is made up by the border, and I didn't make Sister Quan's money, I gave Sister Quan money in disguise! ”

Indeed, the winner of the market receives a share of the bet that is additionally provided by the borderlands.

It looks like a well-meaning boss, but this combination of taxes and gambling money is to force the articulation to the profession, or even to the league.

Yan Su rubbed his temples, and his brain, which had been awakened, began to ache faintly again.

"Let's go," the companion urged, "You still grab tickets to watch movies, and you still occupy a place in college classes, if you don't leave quickly, you won't have a good position." ”

"Okay, okay, got it. When will this game come up with a ticket-grabbing system, anyway, it is a movie hall-like viewing platform, and if you grab a fixed position for a ticket, you don't have to be afraid of being robbed of a seat when you leave the seat. ”

That's right, program changes!

Yan Su patted his brain that was hesitant because of exhaustion, and found a place to sit down casually.

The Daynight Border can be branded, but it will automatically block damage.

[Brand - Crawler bug, shackled up]

[Details: Drop a crawler virus and change the program on the virtual network - Bell!] Reptiles play well, enter the prison early, remember not to touch the forbidden area! 】

The virtual fluorescent green worm disappeared into the open page, and the online channel, which was originally extremely limited and already full, suddenly had a hundred more places!

The bridging people who are staying in the human world and trying their best to enter the channel: "??! ”

Hey, why did the God of Wealth suddenly appear?!

Yan Su sat on a bench on the side of the road and sighed, "Let's benefit the collective." ”

……

"Ding-dong! The game "Ancient City of the Dead" has officially startedβ€”β€”"

"This KP (host) is personally served by this system, providing you with 360Β° humanized services and sincerely reporting the progress of your death~"

The sound of the Keeper's announcement pierced through the darkness.

[Name: Ancient City of the Dead.]

Difficulty: Ekhi

Genre: Multiplayer (3/3)

Rule book: Following the special rules of Ekhi, players can log out by completing character tasks within the specified time and obtaining the specified game currency. 】

Quan Heng opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was the dim starry sky, the red crescent moon hanging in the thick night, like a gloomy and depressing oil painting being torn apart, revealing a blood-red background.

[Welcome to New World - Edge No Man's Land, I wish you a great time. 】

Kwon Heng closed his eyes to relieve the dizziness caused by logging into Ekhi, and moved his hand slightly.

Warm and sticky.

This touch, Quan Heng thought to himself, I don't have to look at it to know what it is.

Kwon Heng sighed, trying to tilt himself to prop himself up, and was leaning at an angle to slam into a face covered with abscesses and blood blisters.

Like sulfuric acid corrosion, like a bacterial infection, or a burn, this face has completely lost human skin, only deformed facial muscles.

Kwon Heng's pupils contracted, and his heartbeat was slightly faster for a moment.

[Holy!] Scared the hell out of me! Why is this like this again, the screen is lightning strike?! ]

[Is this a burn?] It feels like scratching and rotting again. Wait, which level did Quan Heng enter?! ]

[Finally, I don't have to watch those dramas that hire monsters to play NPCs, it's exciting to go directly into the city, give the master a position, and rush over now!] ]

Quan Heng's fingertips moved slightly, and he quickly calmed down: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The face was only a finger away from her, the mutilated right eyeball slowly turned under the burned eyelid, the left eye was cut open by something like a bayonet, and the old scar did not bleed, only the irregular growth of polyps under the knife could be seen.

The eyes blinked, and only half of the eyelids remained.

"Yes." He spoke, his mutilated eyes still bright.

Kwon Heng looked down, only to find that he had no nose or even lips.

When he spoke, he could only see the black and empty mouth, and his voice was muffled, "You don't look like an ancient city, you look like a living person, are you a player here?" ”

Gamer?

Does he have this concept?

Quan Heng sat up with his hands, only to find that he was surrounded by gray-black walls-

She's in a giant pit.

The things under him are like plant ash, and the sticky objects that I just touched are all pieces of meat or limbs that have been roasted under the ashes.

Quan Heng looked at the red blood color that loomed under the ashes of the grass and trees, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"This is a mass grave," the "man" also sat up, his voice still muffled, "not buried, burned." ”

Burned? Mass grave?

Quan Heng's heart moved, his eyes fixed on the face of the "person" in front of him, and his tone was calm and determined when he spoke:

"You're from Gujiang."

"Ahh Are you also from Gujiang?! ”

The person in front of him suddenly became excited, and grabbed Quan Heng's hand, "Then we are fellow countrymen!" My name is Jiang Hibiscus, what about you?! ”

"It's really a fellow countryman, just call me Ah Heng."

Quan Heng smiled, and the back of his hand felt an uneven texture, with a sticky flesh and blood feeling.

[I thought Kwon Heng had really let his guard down, but it didn't seem to be]

[It's taboo to tell your name to other existences at will, this is not a migrant worker who plays an NPC, this is a monster city, and citizens are highly free and not controlled by the border]

Jiang Jian also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly withdrew his hand, looking at the blood on Quan Heng's hand with some uneasiness.

"Sorry to get your hands dirty."

"It's okay."

Quan Heng didn't care, just looked up at the top of his head, "Let's climb out of this pit first, here ......"

She paused, her gaze swept over the dark and silent crater, "Are there any awake people here?" ”

Kwon Heng didn't say "alive", because the NPCs who came to this place no longer had this possibility.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "It's gone." ”

"I'm the only one who survived, and I used to wake up a lot at this time, but this year I'm the only one left."

Quan Heng looked back at him: "Before? ”

"Yes, we can wake up once a year, and then go through the three cities, and after getting the pass to the three cities, we go to visit the living family."

Jiang opened her mouth, trying her best to make her words clear.

"I've been waiting here for a day, none of them woke up, only you, little comrade, ......"

He paused, stretched out his finger and pointed at Quan Heng and then to the sky.

"Falling from the sky - I was just trying to get closer to see if you were still breathing, and you woke up. Anyway, comrade, are you okay? ”

Kwon Heng: ". ”

[Laughing to death, a sister Heng fell from the sky]

[Then this Heng sister has good physical fitness, and she didn't break it when she fell directly]

"I'm fine," Kwon said, "let's go up first." ”

This pit is ten meters deep, and even if it is full of white bones, it is more than five meters deep, and it is straight up and down all sides.

Quan Heng turned around, and the dark red electric light of the "Tianshu" burst out, and the moment it was thrown to the pit, it locked on itself, binding the nearby tree.

She stretched out her hand and motioned for Jiang Hibiscus to come closer, "Shall I pull you up, or will you come by yourself?" ”

There are no humans in the New World, and this height is nothing to him, not to mention that Ehibiscus goes out from here once a year.

Jiang Jin was stunned, hesitantly glanced at Quan Heng's small arm, shook his head and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I can jump on it myself, little comrade, you don't have to worry about me." ”

[He meant: I'm afraid I'll break your little arm.] ]

[Happy to die, it's not me who said, Quan Heng doesn't have to be polite. ] ]

Quan Heng nodded, and borrowed his strength to go up.

Under the pit, Jiang Jinzha squatted like a horse to accumulate strength, jumped up violently, jumped straight out of the bottom of the pit and fell steadily to the ground.

When he reached the ground that could be faintly illuminated by the red crescent, Quan Heng saw his tattered clothes, revealing his abdomen full of festering scars, as well as obvious knife wounds.

From the front to the back, the abdomen and chest are pierced.

He noticed that Quan Heng was looking at him, looked up and smiled embarrassedly, and reluctantly picked up the torn clothes:

"Originally, I was wearing winter clothes, but then the yellow ghost threw a fire stick from the pit, and the fire was so bad that I had to take off the cotton clothes."

Kwon put away his weapon, took a piece of clothing directly from the club's warehouse and handed it to Jiang Geun.

"The code number should be appropriate, you change it first."

Jiang Jin looked at the cotton clothes in Quan Heng's hand, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, don't say that we have discipline, it's just how precious this cotton clothes are, I can't just accept your things." ”

"Mr. Jiang knows that I am a player, so he should know that I am from the current human world," Quan Heng smiled a little, "For the current economic situation, it is not difficult to come up with an ordinary cotton coat. ”

Jiang Jin was stunned, and when he reacted, the cotton clothes were already in his hands.

He moved his lips, and finally put his hand very lightly on top of the cotton coat, and said softly, "Thank you." ”

This thank you is not just for this padded coat.

There is also news from New China.

Quan Heng bowed his head slightly, "Mr. Jiang is serious. ”

When Jiang Hibiscus went around the tree to change clothes, Quan Heng had time to look at the panel: "Character cards are drawn." ”

"Ding! KP Tip: Please draw a character card."

The Keeper prompt soundsβ€”the two character cards slide away with their backs to Kwon Heng, with the same pattern.

[Oh, it stands to reason that it's only four cards, so the other two have already been drawn.] ]

[By the way, I still don't know who Kwon Heng logged into the game with, it seems to be with the kid holding the puppy, and the other one?] Song Jingyun? ]

[Upstairs, Song Jingyun can PASS, he is taking a child over the blind map, it is very likely that Quan Heng is going to receive a new teammate, and the basic sequence is very high. ]

[All mute, all mute, the climax is coming, my long-awaited character card draw!] ]

[Bet two coins, it must be a ghost card!] ]

"The first one." Quan Heng didn't bother to choose, so he said it casually.

The character card with a light purple luster was turned over, and it was not the familiar hooded man in black, but the one holding a bamboo pole...... Fisherman?

[Character Card: Ferryman (Common)]

β€œοΌŸοΌβ€ Kwon raised his eyebrows in surprise.

[Hey, it's not a ghost card this time?] Ye Qing Knot]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible!] If there is a ghost card, Quan Heng will definitely draw]

[I'll answer this question, there is usually one ghost card for four character cards, and there are two left, what does this mean?] It shows that Quan Heng didn't draw it because someone in front of him took it! It's definitely not that she didn't draw it]

[Upstairs reasoned, bet two coins]

[You guys, isn't it possible for Quan Heng to be lucky once?? ] ]

[Maybe, but I just want to see her eat a deflated (dog's head holding a rose)]

……

"It's not a ghost card this time?"

Quan Heng carefully wiped the blood on the eighteen sons, and said in a low voice: "Does this mean that my luck in drawing character cards can still be saved?" ”

She couldn't see the "impossible" that filled the screen, she just lowered her eyes and wrapped the Buddha beads around her wrist, thinking in her heart.

She couldn't see the last character card, so she wasn't sure if there was a ghost card.

However, the first thing in the current row is to find Mu Jing.

The distance of the teleportation should not be too far apart, it should be around here.

"It fits perfectly, thank you so much."

Jiang Jin walked out from behind the tree as he spoke, and the clean cotton clothes on his body covered most of the scars, and he could faintly glimpse the tall and righteous figure before his death.

"Did Mr. Jiang study before?" Quan Heng looked at his faintly bookish air, smiled with his eyebrows, and asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Jin's voice was hoarse, her burnt vocal cords trembled, and her words were hoarse, but she could still hear firmness.

"But then the country was in trouble, so Jiang gave up his pen and went from Rong."

……

"Abandon the pen and follow Rong, protect the family and defend the country."

In the warm yellow light of the memorial hall, the medal of heroes in the glass case shimmered with golden luster, and next to it was a small yellowed notebook and a rusty pocket watch.

Nie Cang stood in front of Jiang Jin's personal deeds and sighed slowly.

"Why is Captain Nie Cang sighing?"

The old man's kind voice came from behind him, and Nie Cang hurriedly turned around and walked a few steps quickly, helping the old lady from the hands of the staff.

"Why did Director Liu come out in person?"

"Of course, it's to cooperate with the work of the organization," the old curator smiled, his hands folded on his crutches, "Captain Nie Cang, is there anything you need our help with?" ”

"Maybe professional things can't help, but if it's related to the library's collection materials, architectural layout, etc., we can help."

Nie Cang also laughed: "These things must be consulted by the old curator, where can we laymen catch up with professionals." ”

"What kind of professionals, we just watch the deeds of heroes every day, and explain these precious heroic relics and the stories behind them over and over again with the students who come to visit."

The old curator looked at the propaganda board in front of him, and then at the items in the display case, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.

"Over time, the faith of these heroes is engraved in our souls."

Nie Cang was about to say something, but suddenly swept to the docent behind the old curator who was secretly wiping his tears, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl was suddenly noticed, and she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was still hoarse and choked.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Alas," the old curator sighed, took the docent's hand and patted it gently, "It's okay, it's okay, we just need to be firm in our beliefs, don't think so much." ”

Nie Cang looked back at the team members behind him, and the team members he saw immediately couldn't help but open the conversation box, with resentment in his tone.

"Just now, Miss Lin was explaining the matter of bacteriological weapons, and she was talking about the place where the bacteria were experimenting in vivo, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old tourist who took off his coat, and he was wearing a kimono inside!"

Nie Cang was stunned, looked at the crying docent in disbelief, and then looked at the team members: "In the memorial hall?!" ”

"Where else could it be?" The more the team member spoke, the more angry he became, "Miss Lin asked him to go out after stopping him, and that tourist was simply ...... Unreasonable!

"Not only did he talk about the freedom of dress, but he also reprimanded the establishment of the Miss Lin Memorial Hall for being harmful to peace, and the special construction of the building to remember the past would only waste resources, not be environmentally friendly, and affect cultural exchanges!"

"Did you notify the Security Section?" Nie Cang's brows furrowed tightly, "Maliciously causing trouble and insulting the martyrs, leave this matter to them." ”

"It's been notified." The team members looked at the docent who was crying until he choked, and hurriedly took out a bag of tissues from his pocket, opened it and handed the paper to the docent, "Miss Lin, wipe your tears, your eyes will hurt if you cry again." ”

The narrator took the tissue and said "thank you" in a dumb voice.

The old curator sighed, as if he was going to sigh his loneliness:

"This is the Gujiang Memorial Hall, which is not only a history museum of the Gujiang Anti-Japanese War, but also a place of silent mourning for the massacre. Even if there is peace now and people's lives are better, history and suffering should not be forgotten.

"What are the words and thoughts of some young people now......"

The old curator looked up at the statue of the hero in front of him, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and his voice trembled and hoarse, "You say, how can we, who are enjoying peace and happiness now, have the right to decide and forgive for our ancestors?"

"They...... How can they say those words? ”

Her grief and pain seemed to be about to turn into substance, and grief welled up in everyone's heart.

The narrator lowered her head and sobbed quietly, and the team members beside her were just about to comfort her, and her eyes were red.

Nie Cang opened his mouth, his gaze fell on the mottled knife marks on the old man's neck, and finally lowered his eyes and fell silent.

He knew that the old curator's husband was named Jiang Jin, and he was a hero who defended his family and country.

I also know that the old curator led the women of the city to form a team to fight when Gujiang fell, and was later captured as a comfort woman, survived the inhuman torture, and rescued several women in the concentration camp.

Later, he became a red agent and lurked in the core of the white zone for a long time.

The words of the tourist, no one present will be more sad than her.

"I'm sorry." Nie Cang responded very lightly, and the old man who had already turned his ears just looked at the familiar statue without taking his eyes off his eyes.

……

"So you're going to visit your family after you get the pass to the Three Cities, is there any time limit?"

Under the blood-colored crescent moon, Quan Heng walked beside Jiang Jin.

"Yes, when the red moon is full, you can get the pass stamped by the three cities, and you can cross the river to visit your relatives."

"Crossing the river?" Kwon Heng captures the message, "What river? ”

"A river that connects here with the human world, and the Three Cities Homecoming Guide calls it the Dirt River."

Grime River?

Is it the one she knows, the current "Innocent River"?

Jiang Jin sighed: "Last year, many comrades-in-arms woke up with me, but I didn't expect that I would be the only one left this year." ”

Quan Heng paused: "Are there any conditions for awakening?" ”

"You need someone in the human world to remember you and know your basic life, and it would be nice if you could keep the items you used during your lifetime in their entirety. But if ......"

Jiang Jin paused, he looked up at the sky and the moon, and pursed his lips:

"If everyone forgets about you, you will never wake up again, and we will have a real death.

"Forgetting is the true sense of erasure."

Jiang Jin smiled at Kwon Heng, his eyes shining like stars.

"Actually, we don't care if we are remembered, and we never regret giving our blood for faith and a bright future - we just have this hope every year and want to go home and see it. Look at the people who care, and the people who care about us. ”

Quan Heng was quiet and asked, "When was the last time you crossed the river?" ”

"I'm ashamed to say this." Jiang Jin grabbed her hair embarrassedly, "Actually, I didn't succeed in getting the Three Cities Pass. ”

Kwon Heng: "......"

"That, ahem." Jiang Jin clenched his fists to his lips and coughed a few times seriously, "The pass for the three cities is really hard to get, and I try very hard every year." ”

Quan Heng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Then my teammates and I will help you get it this year." ”

"Do you have any teammates?" Jiang Jin's first notice of the primary message, "Then why don't you see the others?" Did you fall into a pit and get separated from your teammates? I'll help you find it, I'm familiar with this piece. ”

After this series of events, Quan Heng didn't even have a chance to refuse.

"The most common place for players to land around here is probably in this forest, where half of the mines are mined."

Jiang Jin motioned to Quan Heng to follow him inside, and talked eloquently:

"Speaking of which, our platoon also fought the mines occupied by the enemy at that time, which was simply more than the task, and I also captured two pocket watches at that time! Later, the organization rewarded me, so I put a piece for myself and my wife for a piece! ”

He said as he pulled out a golden pocket watch from his pocket with a smile on his face.

"There's a picture of my wife in there, I'm a baby."

Jiang Jin said and opened the pocket watch, revealing an old black and white photoβ€”

The gentle and heroic woman smiled at the corners of her lips and looked at her like-minded husband behind the camera.

Warm freeze at this moment, love and faith are there.

"My wife, Tang Xinlan."

Jiang Jin cherished the photo, "My wife and I were childhood sweethearts, and later studied in a new-style school together and participated in various new-style sports. ”

"You and Madame have a really good relationship." Kwon Heng sighed, "It is a blessing in a lifetime to be able to find a like-minded love. ”

Jiang Jin was a little embarrassed to be praised, looking down at the photo on the pocket watch, reluctant to give up.

"I'm ashamed to say that not counting the days here, I haven't seen Xinlan for three years before my life - the war is raging, and there are only letters for thousands of miles. I originally said that I would accompany her to see Kapok, but unfortunately ......"

Jiang Jin paused, sighed and then remained silent.

It's a pity that the artillery fire is scorching, the war is cruel, and the heroes have no return to shed their blood, so they can only lose their trust in their beloved wives.

"Although the flowering period of kapok has long passed, I have some solutions," Quan Heng said with a smile, "When we get the Three Cities Pass and cross the Innocent River, I will fulfill the wish of the two of you to enjoy the flowers." ”

Jiang Jinyi raised his head suddenly, couldn't help but want to laugh, and felt that these were not very polite, so he tried to purse his lipsless mouth, and finally gave up covering it up, and thanked him happily: "Thank you!" ”

"It should." Quan Heng nodded with a smile, "After all, this is also my task." ”

"Sister! Is that you? ”

A crisp call sounded from the grass on the side of the road, and Mu Jing and a half-big wolf dog with his tongue stuck out his mouth came out of the grass together, still holding a small flashlight in his hand:

"Wow! Xiaoliu is super powerful, and she has found her sister! ”

Mu Xiaoliu raised his head proudly: "Whew! ”

The wolf dog has a very sharp nose, not to mention a monstrous wolf dog.

Quan Heng is not in a hurry to find someone, just because it will be faster and easier for Mu Jing to find her than for her to find her.

"Sister." Mu Jing said that he wanted to pull himself out of the grass, Mu Xiaoliu escaped from the predicament with a quick jump, and grabbed Mu Jing's collar in his mouth.

"Thank you, Little Liu!" Mu Jing patted it and hurriedly ran back to Quan Heng's side, "Is my sister in danger?" Are there any injuries? ”

"There is no danger, and there is no injury," Quan Heng patiently replied, "Just rest assured." ”

"Is this a hound?" Jiang Jin looked at the wolf dog obediently following Mu Jing's side in amazement, "It's so obedient, it's really a good dog with only spirituality." ”

Mu Jing smiled and hugged Mu Xiaoliu's neck, not afraid of Jiang Jin's face at all, and smiled brightly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"No thanks, no thanks," Jiang Jian rarely saw such a lively child, and his tone was soft, "You are a member of the little comrade's team." ”

"yes!" Mu Jing looked up at Quan Heng first, and only replied when he saw that the other party acquiesced.

"What about uncle?" Mu Jing was curious, "Is it a resident of New World, or a player?" ”

"Mr. Jiang is a compatriot who needs our help so that he can get a pass to go home to visit his family." Quan Heng answered this question first.

She reached out and touched Mu Jing's head and changed the subject, "Did you get your character card?" ”

"I got it, it sounds like my sister," Mu Jing knew that he had asked the wrong thing just now, scratched his head and looked at Quan Heng, "It's all 'ferrymen'." ”

[Congratulations to player Mu Jing for unlocking the "Ferryman" character quest!] 】

[Character Mission: Help Jiang Jin get the Three Cities Pass, cross the Innocent River, and cross the river before the full red moon]

"Well, it's the same." Mu Jing concluded.

"Is there only one?" Jiang Jin asked, "If we are all together, we can rest and rest, and then we can set off for the three cities." ”

"There is one more missing, friend or foe are unknown."

The teammates don't know if it's Qi Qi, after all, in addition to the person Quan Heng is looking for, there is another person's identity card that is uncertain.

"It's a different role task," Jiang Jin didn't only know Quan Heng as a tasker, he had some understanding of these things, and he also reacted when he heard the words, "Then we can go further, or just let the hounds look for it." ”

"Then choose B!" Mu Jing actively raised his hand, "Let the super powerful Xiaoliu come!" ”

Mu Xiaoliu, who is super powerful, holds his head high and doesn't feel that he is going to work by PUA at all.

"Little Liu," Mu Jing encouraged, "it's time to show off your real skills!" ”

Mu Xiaoliu snorted, his nose twitched and he quickly glanced at the three of them excitedly, and ran in a certain direction.

Kwon Heng: "......"

Well, it really complements Xiaoting's love and IQ.

……

The blood crescent moon hung high, and from time to time dark clouds drifted by, obscuring the light faintly, and under a towering ancient tree in the forest, the blood-red clear chains shone with a dark light, illuminating this small place.

The chains hung high, blood red condensed into blood dripping downward, and the two ends were tied to the trunk of a tree, and the part that hung down in the middle pierced the neck of a pure black monster, which was two meters high, and the neck was full of rotten eyes.

The uglier head was nowhere to be found, and seemed to be disgusted by the hunters and kicked a high shot into the air as a football, flying towards an unknown territory.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, happy night! Eat monsters! ”

Illuminated by the blood-red light, the young man hummed an out-of-tune song, and from time to time he spoke to himself.

"You have to clean the internal organs, otherwise there will be a fishy smell. I also have to peel off the skin, although this is a cub, but it seems to have a skin disease...... The foot was also cut off, and it seemed to have athlete's foot. ”

He babbled on and on, like a psychopathic talking to himself.

Holding a silver needle larger than the palm of an adult's hand in his hand, he sharpened the iron like clay, disemboweling the monster hanging in front of him, and picking out the internal organs and other dirty things with a thick needle.

The flesh and entrails fell from the monster's belly, and the blood flowed downward, staining the dark black soil beneath its feet, accumulating into a puddle of blood, and it kept flowing towards the puddle.

"It's done."

The young man stepped back in satisfaction, his blood-stained hand holding the huge silver needle, and spun around easily, but the blood stains were bounced away by an inexplicable force before they could touch his body.

"Put the spices in and buy some dishes to put in," he smiled happily, "and then sew it and roast it, and you're ready to make a beautiful meat sandwich!" ”

He patted his stomach as he spoke, but the blood did not stain his clothes, "Speaking of which, my stomach is already starving to death." ”

A very subtle voice came from behind him, and the young man dressed in retro paused and slowly turned around.

One of his eyes was covered by the black and white Joker card, and the other pale golden eye swept over Quan Heng and the others, and casually shook off the blood on his hand.

"You're the ones who teamed up with me?"

He tilted his head, his white hair almost silver hanging down his cheeks, his eyebrows and eyes curled, and asked kindly:

"I'm going to roast this monster, do you want to eat it together?"

[Brothers, sisters, relatives and friends!] This! Be! Who?! ]

[Who else can have the sequelae of this ascending order?] It must be a mad hatter!! ]

[Although I knew that Quan Heng had a certain physique that attracted Gao Order, I didn't expect to really meet the Mad Hatter!] ]

Kwon Heng's gaze fell on the youth's trademark black-and-white Joker poker, which was ......

Monster Party Starter Main Battle, SSS Sequence -

Mad Hatter.

If this face is not disguised, or this crazy temperament does not change, it will rely on those supporters in the day and night border area, the dynamic picture on the twin screens, and the eyewash of the group of followers + water army buffs on the forum, Quan Heng can't recognize it if he doesn't want to.

Mu Jing blinked at him, and suddenly frowned at Quan Heng, and his eyes clearly meant "I know him".

"Thank you for your kindness."

Quan Heng touched Mu Jing's head with one hand, signaling that he didn't need to speak, and politely refused when he looked up, "Dinner is not necessary." ”

"Okay then."

The young man shrugged his shoulders and flicked the long needle in his hand indifferentlyβ€”

As if "steaming", a layer of water gradually condensed on the surface of the long needle, which did not flow down the needle body, but after absorbing filthy blood stains, the long needle was peeled off, and it was dispersed into a black mist, which disappeared in the dark.

"I haven't eaten for three days. So I plan to start the game after dinner. ”

He didn't have a fight, thought about it and said seriously, "Can you wait for me to finish dinner?" I eat fast and won't delay you for long.

"-It's hard for me to see new faces here, and I can't get enough people to get into a multiplayer game, so it's nice to be able to open a multiplayer game once a month. But I like to be busy, I hate being lonely, and I want to team up with you to complete the mission. ”

Ekhi is something that ordinary players can enter, and all that can be entered is a high sequence.

These people are basically in the top 50 of the club rankings, that is, the chief and deputy seats in the big organization.

There are more than 100 people in total.

The number of articulations has always been inversely proportional to the sequence, and is a positive pyramid-shaped distribution.

The top layer is to bring newcomers to the double capital, and even their own people occupy all the places in the multi-person book - this has nothing to do with the Mad Hatter.

But......

Quan Heng looked at Jiang Hibiscus beside her first, after all, she didn't know as much as Jiang Hibiscus about the time of the red moon and the difficulty of the three-city pass.

"It's okay, anyway, I won't be able to enter the Three Cities when I arrive tonight," Jiang Jin nodded, "Today is December 12th, and the Three Cities will only open on December 13th, and you won't be able to enter until 0:00 on the 13th." ”

Quan Heng was stunned: "December 13th? ”

"It's the day we came here, of course, it's just us city guards," Jiang Jian let out a long sigh, looking lonely, "Later, for more than forty days, many fellow villagers came here. ”

Kwon pursed his lips, and finally closed his eyes and did not answer.

She turned her head to look at the confused young man who was turning the lighter in his hand, and answered his question:

"Yes."

"Oh, that's great!"

The Mad Hatter laughed, overflowing with joy, and the light golden pupils turned bright, looking like a golden sea of sunshine.

"What a kind lady you are! Am I lucky enough to know your name? ”

Kwon Heng smiled silently.

"I'm sorry, but the gentleman should introduce himself first." He knocked his head in a state of realization, "I apologize for my rude behavior." ”

The young man is born with smiling lips, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and the thin lips are red without dots, which looks like a very flattering young man.

"It was an eternal mistake for me to be abandoned by my parents, to be rejected by my family, and to be alive, so I had no name, no surname, and no home. An unrecognized ghost, and a madman who is seen as a monster. ”

He raised his hand and seemed to twist an invisible hat from the void above his head, which should be a top hat in the posture. The young man raised one arm and bent down in an elegant but non-standard gentlemanly salute.

Behind him, the bloody cubs of the giant beast were imprisoned and hung in blood-colored shackles, disemboweled, and slaughtered.

The young man was dressed in retro clothes, his white cloak was spotless, and even his hair was clean white.

- like a holy free bird in front of the night and the shackles.

"But here ......"

The young man raised his eyes, raised his hand and turned his fingers to take out a white top hat from the void, smiled and straightened up, and put it on his head.

"Everybody likes to call me a 'mad hatter.'"

At the top of the global leaderboard, the mad hat of "First Sequence: Main Battle Position".

Although I thought that I would run into the top play, the top play in the top play is indeed a bit unexpected.

Quan Heng thought in his heart, if he was a ghost card, it would be a good thing to some extent.

"What about you, ma'am? Name? Name? ”

Mad Hatter put on his top hat and looked at Kwon Heng.

"Exempt from the right of your surname, Quan Heng." Quan Heng bowed his head slightly, and made a courtesy gesture.

"Right? Kwon Heng? ”

The Mad Hatter frowned, and when he looked at Quan Heng carefully, he didn't recognize it, so he could only try to recall it with some doubts.

"It sounds familiar, but I have a bad memory, and sometimes I forget how long I haven't eaten, maybe it's because I have a brain disease."

The Mad Hatter pried the lid of the windproof lighter in his hand and threw it backwards into the fire pit beneath the monster.

"Don't think about it, my memories are all fragments, and I can't think about it."

He didn't care about revealing his information at all, it was a point of information casually, and he didn't seem to be very defensive against strangers.

"By the way," the Mad Hatter turned to continue slaughtering, turning his head sharply again, and confirming very seriously, "do you really not eat it?" My cooking is delicious, even the old man thinks it's delicious. ”

Old man of the gods?

It should refer to the leader of the monster party and the commander of the starting team - Father Crescent.

"No," Kwon Heng refused again, "thank you." ”

Unless otherwise treated, the flesh of the monster has an effect on the human san disk, and the lower the sequence, the greater the impact.

"Well, then," the Mad Hatter regretted slightly, and was about to turn around and suddenly remember something, "I remembered one more thing. ”

Quan Heng had a guess in his heart: "What? ”

"I just said that I teamed up with you, and I don't want to go back.

"But I remembered something important, I didn't think it was very important, but the old man said it was very important, and he needed to ask, so that I don't want to kill the wrong person."

As he spoke, the Mad Hatter turned the barbecue monster behind him, sprinkled some special seasonings, and let out a look of carelessness and asked:

"I'm a ghost card, are you too?"

"If not, I'll probably kill you."
