Chapter 85: Reunion
The number of talismans in the red envelopes is staggering.
The majority are teleportation talismans, and the remaining small portion are blasting talismans or contract talismans. They have one main purpose, which is to provide a very reliable insurance for the next copy.
"That's a lot... Even if we just use it to escape the boss, it will be enough to last for several hours."
Ye Yunhe carefully moved the talisman paper, pressed it back into the pitiful red envelope, and then stuffed it into Lin Muyu's hand: "I dare not put these on me. Captain, I leave it to you."
The reliable captain held the reliable insurance and smiled helplessly.
"Don't make this public." Lin Muyu frowned and warned, "It's okay if the amount is small, but this is too much... It's not a good thing for others to know. I'll go to the monitoring room and tell them later."
As for where to store the red envelopes?
After much thought, I realize that being by my own side is the safest.
Lin Muyu walked behind his teammates and looked down at the blind spot of the surveillance camera. The shadows on the ground swayed as if expecting to be fed, jumping back and forth between light and dark.
He let go, and the red envelope touched the ground. The next moment it melted into the shadow like water, and was completely swallowed into his stomach, falling into the depths of his consciousness.
"Luckily it's a small item."
He sighed. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after taking a bite, I feel that my shadow has become a lot rounder.
But this way, I have one more favor to pay off, and the day to pay it back seems so far away. But no one can refuse, and people can't even think about returning it.
But I always feel like there are a lot of things to complain about. Ye Yunhe couldn't help but frown. He always felt like there was something stuck in his throat and urgently needed a mouth to relieve this emotion.
...This makes me miss Xiaoheng even more. I really hope this kid will open his eyes the next second.
She was silent for a moment, and wanted to go over and pry open the boy's eyelids to see if he was pretending to sleep.
Suddenly, there were footsteps at the door and the sound of people chatting, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
Well, it’s already this late, the others should be here too.
Si and An, who had a more sensitive hearing, walked to the door first, clicked open the previously locked door, and stuck their heads out to look.
Sure enough, in the corridor not far from the gate, the twins and Calint were talking in low voices, with Qin You and others following behind. Both teams, without missing a single person, walked towards the ward together.
Seeing Si and An’s heads sticking out of the door, they raised their eyebrows and immediately quickened their pace.
I still remember watching Qi Heng being swallowed up with my own eyes and the scene when the trio stepped into the black fog without hesitation. They stood there at a loss, with mixed emotions. After wandering around the black fog for a long time, they divided the two bottles of potion and went their separate ways to search for any remaining psychics.
They didn't feel relieved until support arrived and found several people at different locations to inform them of the situation. Those who were slightly exhausted were taken away from the illusion, while those who still had strength left joined in the support and faced the enemy attack together.
After leaving the illusion, although I was relieved, my head still felt dizzy and everything seemed unreal. It was not until we met now, soberly, that I felt as if I was grounded.
"The guild wants to see us." Calint nodded to the trio, apologetically, "so we can't stay for long. Where's Qi Heng? How is he?"
Sheng Mu flashed behind him and took a few steps to the bed. He stretched out his hand to feel the boy's breath, frowning: "I heard that he hasn't woken up yet. What's going on? Most people are awake, so it doesn't make sense for him to still be asleep."
A very sharp question. The three of them couldn't help but smile bitterly.
As everyone looked as if they were aware of something, Lin Muyu sighed softly and explained to them the reasons for Qi Heng's physical condition and what Bai Zhou had told them.
The news came out of nowhere, like a thunderclap, exploding among the crowd, and sending the previously cheerful atmosphere directly into the center of the earth, instantly becoming dull.
As the owners of the "Twin Vine", the twins' faces changed immediately. No one knew better than them how difficult it felt to have an important person fall into a deep sleep.
Fu Ling, who was happily holding the prize, frowned, and the corners of her mouth fell instantly: "Ah?"
"This, that, I... No, except waiting for Brother Qi Heng to wake up on his own, there is nothing we can do?" The girl's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, racking her brains to think of a countermeasure.
"Xie Ning is also not awake." Ji Linfeng folded his arms and spoke with a serious tone. He looked at the three people solemnly, "She had the same experience as Qi Heng. Lingyun's people are also thinking about measures. We will help to get the news, maybe it will be useful."
"Well, we can help."
Yun Paopao quickly raised her hand and spoke softly.
"Yes." Qin You looked around and knocked the metal umbrella against the floor hard, almost making a dent in the fragile floor. "The props we got before seem to have something to do with this. I'll bring them to you after the guild's business is over."
A cheerful female voice replaced the clear sound, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"Don't worry. Although I have only spent a short time with Qi Heng, I can see that he is a man of strong will and will definitely not waste too much time on this."
Calint took out his cell phone and began to check all the items dropped from previous copy clearings. After a moment of silence, the twins began to impart their own experiences to the trio. Finally, they simply made a form and gave it to the three after it was completed.
Lin Muyu lowered his eyes and opened and closed his lips several times. After a few breaths, he raised his eyes slightly and nodded solemnly to them.
"……Thank you so much."
——
Although I felt depressed, time was urgent, the end of the world had not yet disappeared, and there were still important matters that had not been discussed. Everyone gathered around the bed, some standing and some sitting, and began to tell each other the news they knew.
"Then there will be endless copies to clean up."
Sheng Mu said with a sullen face, recalling the form sent by the guild, which contained a series of copy information for the psychics to choose from.
"The Battle of Zhuolu is over, and it's the golden time for the teams to fight each other. According to the past tradition, two teams will clean up the large dungeon together again, and the minimum level is A."
"We should team up with Dawn." Calint looked at Sheng Chao, and the two captains nodded to each other, "After all, in the illusion, our two teams worked together the longest, and we all know each other."
As the organizer and the final destination of the championship, the government naturally has to set an example.
If the two teams that have the deepest contact in the illusion happen to be together, then the government team will have to choose someone else as their partner, and it is likely that the superior will be responsible for selecting the suitable psychics.
If the strength is equal and the positioning is not repeated...
The three of them bowed their heads in thought. It must be said that the documents provided by Qi Heng came in handy a lot. For example, at this moment Ye Yunhe was staring at the screen and listing the guilds of probability one by one:
"It's probably... Lingyao, Rihua, or Baiye?"
The names are hard to remember, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember them.
Ye Yunhe scanned the psychics below him and matched them with the ones in his memory: "These three are all high-level guilds, and their psychics are more compatible with us. We probably chose from these three."
"But I only met Wu Ma Tu from Lingyao, but he ran too fast, so the encounter was a bit hasty."
"Oh, Wumatu..." Qin You's expression became complicated when he heard this name.
Si and An came over with a tray of paper cups, curious: "What happened?"
"In fact, we are not the only lucky ones in the end." Yun Paopao took the glass of water with both hands and took a sip. "When sister Qin You and I were on the move, we found Wu Ma Tu on a very tall tree. His position was very delicate, right in the gap between the two black mists, very close."
"His feet had no support, so he dared not move at all. He could only cling to the tree trunk tightly to prevent his body from shifting. We didn't find him at first until we heard a faint call from above our heads, and then we looked up and saw him. After that, we kept trying to rescue him, which took a lot of time."
“…”
Everyone's expressions became subtle.
Fu Ling choked up and said, "It's hard to say whether this person is lucky or unlucky." In short, his teleportation talisman prefers high places.
"Regardless of Wuma Tu's personality, his ability is still very useful." Lin Muyu chuckled, "The ability of possession is unique, whether it is to explore the area or test the water, it can be used, but the insects need to be prepared in advance."
Qin You shuddered unconsciously, then smiled and took a sip of warm water.
…
There is still a lot to say.
The future, circumstances, speculations, a group of people with different personalities get along surprisingly well, commenting on the current situation one after another and telling each other the gossip of the guild. It seems that if you don't pay attention to the clock, the moment of parting will not come.
Soon, we will go our separate ways again, and the black fog that we tried so hard to avoid in the illusion will be stepped into again when we are sober the next time. In order to shoulder the responsibilities that should be assumed and to live up to the abilities that one possesses.
I don’t know if we will be able to get together in the future and chat and discuss like we do now, and I don’t know if anyone will lose contact with us and be separated from us forever. No one will think about this at the moment, but just try to remember all the precious things before the accident happens.
"The people from the guild are urging us."
The phone screen lit up for a moment, and Calint sighed. His well-fitting suit was covered in dust from running back and forth, and looked a little wrinkled.
He stood up and toasted everyone with water instead of wine, saying: "We met briefly, and now we have to part in a hurry. If there is any cooperation or transaction in the future, please think of me, Calint, first."
After saying that, he drank the warm water in the cup in one gulp, his posture was casual and natural, as if he was drinking a glass of wine, and the ward suddenly turned into a five-star hotel. Seeing this, the others started laughing and cooperated by raising the disposable paper cups in their hands and clinking their glasses with each other.
"Really? Why are you so serious? I thought you were treating a customer like that." Qin You sneered and stood up nonchalantly, using the metal umbrella for support and almost knocking a dent on Karint's foot.
She looked speechlessly at Ji Linfeng opposite her. The other party was always very supportive, and he drank the water in one gulp the next second. She moved so quickly that before she could even say a word, the paper cup was thrown into the trash can.
Qin You skillfully trampled on the captain's authority and raised his phone high:
"What kind of society is this now? All problems can be solved by adding a friend. Are you still worried about the distance? Come on, take out your phones. I'll just create a group and add you all in. You can post whatever you want. Anyway, the message will not disappear."
"By the way, you three should bring Xiao Heng in as well. Even though he's asleep, I can sense his eagerness to join."
"Qin, You!" Karint shouted word by word, his face turning blue and red.
"puff."
Some people couldn't help laughing out loud.
No one followed the sound, and everyone looked at each other, all with smiles on their faces. The warm water in his hand shook slightly, and the next moment it was drunk into his mouth and all drank.
Soon, the empty paper cups piled up in the trash can.
A few minutes before leaving, a group chat with Qin You as the group owner suddenly appeared. Familiar IDs joined in one after another, jumping around in the list, replacing the function of the mouth.
Therefore, after the door was opened, the number of people in the ward returned to four. The original atmosphere still surrounds us, making us feel uncomfortable.
It’s just that the topic that was originally intended to be discussed has changed. People who speak fast have become slow typists, people who make typos all over the place and need to be corrected have chosen voice, and people who walk without looking at their phones have put their phones on standby.
In the end, the most common words were:
"What does your ID mean?"
