Chapter 396: Rusty City Strange Stories

On the deserted street, the dilapidated sign at the entrance of the convenience store flickered a few times before finally lighting up with difficulty.

Inside the store, Jiang Huaique leaned against the counter, smiled, cursed inwardly, and then closed the game panel. Finally, he got news from his teammates. He breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve stress, but when he subconsciously reached out to take the cigarettes from the shelf, he remembered that this place was full of messy rules, so he turned his hand and retracted it.

Because Jin Sheng's car was stolen, the two were unable to meet, but with the clues provided by his teammates, Jiang Huaique searched the room and finally found the blue bed sheet. After trying, he successfully left the previous haunted house.

[Blue is a safe color.]

Unfortunately, the blue sheets couldn't last long. Without any transportation, the sheets turned black and began to rust before he walked too far.

Jiang Huaique had no choice but to find a nearby convenience store that seemed to be still open, hoping to find a substitute there.

I didn’t expect there were other people inside, and they happened to be players from Utopia.

Jiang Huaique collected his thoughts and gave up the idea of smoking. He shook off the blood on the sickle and turned to look at the player who was trapped by the prop.

This man looked young, probably in his early twenties. His upper body was nailed to the ground by six forearm-long ice spikes, unable to move. As for his lower body, it had already been separated...

There were no obvious signs of fighting around, as this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

Facing the pair of eyes that were still rolling, Jiang Huaique looked at the player who was still alive, and his expression gradually became confused.

"Are all the small fry in the ideal country so energetic?"

He walked to the half body while sneer, looking down at the other party.

Jiang Huai Que has never been a kind-hearted person, especially when facing the ideal country, the hatred that is not shown in normal times surges and never extinguishes.

But he would not take the initiative to attack those who are too weak, as that is not what a gentleman does.

An hour ago, Jiang Huai Que arrived at the convenience store smoothly. When he saw a strange player inside, he was just stunned and explained his purpose.

Who knew that the other party suddenly opened the game panel with joy, wanting to quickly convey the message.

Jiang Huaique's abnormal behavior made him realize that something was wrong.

Without thinking, he threw out his props to control the other person, but who knew that this person not only did not fight back, but also activated the defensive props just to send a message, and then mocked him after sending it...

"I am from the Utopia. Are you sure you want to do it?"

"How pitiful! She will die without even seeing the enemy who killed her sister."

Listening to the arrogant speech, Jiang Huaique naturally thought that the other party had a backup plan, so he no longer restrained his attack.

A knife flashed by.

The Shadow of Death split the player's defensive items and half of his body in half.

The battle ended as comically as it had begun.

Listening to Jiang Huaique's words, the player with only the upper body left lying on the ground, his eyeballs moving much slower.

"I thought you were going to ask me who killed your sister," he said.

Hearing this, Jiang Huaique laughed.

"After all, he is from the ideal country. You will know once you get there."

After saying that, it seemed as if he didn't want to have any more communication with the other party, and Jiang Huaique quickly looked for what he wanted in the convenience store.

Soon, he found the right blue object again.

Perhaps Jiang Huaique moved too quickly. Before he even stepped out of the door, he heard the player lying on the ground suddenly struggling and shouting.

"Why don't you ask me who killed your sister?"

"Don't you see something wrong with my disconnected lower body? Don't you realize that I won't die so easily?"

"Why the hell are you just leaving after getting the stuff?"

Jiang Huaique's disregard made all his plans go down the drain.

As a mimetic who followed Gan Mi and Wang Ying into the dungeon, he was well aware that he was just a small fry who made up the numbers, and he didn't think about making any great achievements.

But he had received instructions from Wang Ying before to find the coordinates of Jiang Huai Que.

He was lucky. He got Jiang Huaique's coordinates faster than others and sent them out. His only job now was to hold him back and wait for Wang Ying to come over...

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaique seemed to be in a hurry and refused to listen. He cursed a few times and was about to leave.

Damn, this place is far away from the city center. If Jiang Huaique really left, the ghost lion that has come here with great difficulty will definitely kill him if it fails to find the target!

A series of questions came at him, and Jiang Huaique was stunned.

"I have no interest in killing trash fish."

He did hate the Utopia, and would show no mercy to his sister's killer, but the man who had mocked him was chopped in half, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

However, seeing that the other party's expression suddenly changed from calm to grief and anger, out of humanitarian spirit, Jiang Huaique still tentatively spoke.

"You are so weak, your status in the ideal country must not be high, and even if you know, you probably won't tell it, right?" The first sentence was a murderous remark.

That's why he didn't want to waste time.

The trapped player struggled for a moment and gasped, "How do you know if I don't tell you when you didn't even ask me?"

"Oh, then go ahead."

Jiang Huaique took over the conversation with a very calm expression.

“…”

The player lying on the ground was stunned.

He said? He said shit!

Why is the script different from the design? Shouldn't he be caught and tortured by Jiang Huaique, but he would rather die than obey, and finally bought precious time for Lord Guishi to arrive?

Unfortunately, he was stunned for only a few seconds before Jiang Huaique lost his patience, rolled his eyes, cursed him and said "idiot", then left without looking back.

This guy looks very difficult to kill. The wound on his severed lower body was still bleeding at first, but after a while, a transparent liquid began to flow out of the wound. I don't know if it was some special secret technique.

Jiang Huaique was in a hurry to reunite with his teammates and had no time to figure out how to kill the person quickly.

The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect the development to be so bizarre. For a moment they did not know whether to laugh or cry.

[Puff——Okay, okay, no desires make you strong. ]

[Male mother: As long as I don’t listen, you have no value! ]

[So can anyone tell me what magical skills the Utopia has? Why are their trash so hard to kill? ]

[+1, if I join, can I have this kind of skills? ]

[Oh, I see the ghost lion is already heading this way. ]

[But the ghost lion is quite far from here. By the time she gets here, the male mother may have already gone to the city center! ]

[I just came back from Wang Ying’s live broadcast room. It seems that she and Boss Gan have separated…]

At the gate of Riguang Handicraft Factory.

Across the factory gate, Xu Zhiyan stood inside the gate and looked at the people outside.

Gan Mi still looks like an elite.

Unlike other players who must wear items of the correct color when moving around the city, those with special items do not need to follow this rule.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, with a gray coat draped over his arm, looking somewhat relaxed.

Just by looking at his appearance, no one could imagine how miserable he was before.

"Hey, Boss Gan, you must be waiting impatiently?" Xu Zhiyan was the first to greet him. He stopped steadily in the factory and made a gesture to invite him in.

"Come in and chat. Look, there's a guard booth next to it. I remember you liked being a guard."

Once in the Nightmare Community, Gan Mi was assigned the role of security guard.

As soon as these words were spoken, Gan Mi, who had a faint smile on his face just now, froze and his expression became a little unsettled.

"You'll die if you don't talk too much, right?" What does it mean he likes being a security guard?

"Of course he will die."

Xu Zhiyan answered truthfully and successfully earned Gan Mi's contempt.

Perhaps it is the nature of businessmen that the conversation between the two was relaxed and pleasant from beginning to end, and talking about old friendships was often part of the communication.

Beneath the seemingly harmonious atmosphere lies a surging undercurrent.

However, things did not develop as smoothly as Xu Zhiyan had expected, and Gan Mi directly rejected the invitation.

"I won't go in." He felt that the rules he had set for Xu Zhiyan were offset. Without being sure what the other party had mastered, he would not enter the factory again.

Xu Zhiyan nodded indifferently.

As expected.

Since Gan Mi was able to impose restrictive rules on him, he would most likely be able to detect his condition. Now that ghosts and gods control the entire factory, it is normal that the other party does not dare to come in.

Xu Zhiyan once again realized that he didn't like dealing with smart people.

If Gan Mi came in directly and let the ghosts and gods take care of him, wouldn't he be able to just lie down?

But no matter what you think, you still have to continue doing what you should do.

"Then stand up and tell me, what task do you want me to help you complete, Boss Gan? What's the reward?"

Xu Zhiyan raised his hand and waved, "I don't accept empty promises."

"I knew you wouldn't agree."

Gan Mi took out a triangular gray cone from his pocket and threw it in.

"This is the memory you lost."

He moved quickly and said this lightly, as if the Uta that he had obtained from Yan Chengfan with great effort was just an ordinary gift when shopping.

“…”

Xu Zhiyan held the gray triangle and froze in place.

Although his memory was not really recovered, he could feel that when he touched this thing, his false life was cleared into a blank, and those memories that once made him so painful that he almost suffocated disappeared in an instant.

It’s a pity that the false memories disappeared and the real memories were not replaced.

After the memory was cleared, a groove appeared on the gray triangle...

Gan Mi’s explanation followed closely.

"This is a deposit. When this is over, I will give you the key to completely open Uta."

Maybe he was pleased by the sudden change in the young man's expression, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and there was a hint of pride in his voice: "So? You should believe me now, right?"

"You won't suffer any loss if you trade with me." Gan Mi said with a smile.

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips.

I got my memory back unexpectedly. It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.

But he no longer cares whether his past is broken or complete. For a businessman, he is more pleased with tangible benefits than something as illusory as memory.

“This thing is dispensable to me.”

Xu Zhiyan quickly put away the black pagoda, and the movement of his hands formed a sharp contrast with the disgust in his mouth as he prepared to lower the price.

"...Hey, you're so greedy, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?" Gan Mi replied unhappily.

But he compromised quickly and immediately added: "I will tell you the information you want to know when we leave the dungeon."

It's about the heart of ghosts and gods.

"No, I know Boss Gan wouldn't cheat me. What I mean is, you want me to join you in fighting the monsters in the central square, and you're not going to pay any money or props?" Xu Zhiyan raised his right hand, rubbed his fingers, and made a gesture of money.

It's not hard to guess.

Mad Dog went to the Central Square for several nights in a row and threatened to hit Gan Mi to death, which means that Gan Mi went to the Central Square every day.

What's there? Monsters! Incredibly powerful monsters!

In addition to enthusiastically inviting him to fight monsters together, Xu Zhiyan couldn't imagine why Gan Mi would come to him for cooperation.

“…”

Now it was Gan Mi's turn to be stunned.

He didn't expect Xu Zhiyan to guess his intention at once, but that didn't matter.

"I really need your help with the Central Square matter."

Wang Ying rushed around recklessly, and working with this guy was a perfect interpretation of what one plus one is less than zero. However, the other party's style of doing things was difficult to change, and Gan Mi didn't want to get used to it or adapt.

"I thought that piece of news was enough to make you excited." He said lightly.

"How could that be?"

Xu Zhiyan shrugged: "It's just news after all, and I don't really care."

Perhaps it was greed that was at work. Xu Zhiyan was indeed moved by the information provided by Gan Mi, but now was the negotiation stage and he could not show it.

He wanted more, even if it was just to get a few more points...

Unexpectedly, Gan Mi stopped smiling and lowered his voice suddenly.

"Oh? You don't care? I thought you care a lot." He turned his face away and exposed Xu Zhiyan's lie.

"From the time you opened the message to the time you met me, it took less than three minutes."

If you really don't care about Him, why would you show up so soon?
