Chapter 155: The Lost Hometown 10 My Name

"Don't you want to ask me?" Shen Wu asked.

"No need." Zhu said. He didn't want to restrict him because of himself.

"Why not ask?"

"Because..." Zhuci said, and suddenly turned his head, and bullets flew out of the gun in his hand.

"Dang."

Something was shot down.

Zhu Ci looked up, but didn't see anyone.

"Don't talk about it for now, let's go through the book first." Zhu Ci said.

"It may not be good." Shen Wu suddenly said, "Someone wants to separate us."

His voice was a little deep, not like he was joking. But who else in this dungeon would be so boring?

As Zhu Ci was thinking this, suddenly there was a very noisy sound coming from the passage ahead. Was it the sound of water?

“Blah, blah, blah…”

Water was coming from the front, and it was more than just water.

Zhu Ci was completely immersed in the water, his hands were tightly held, and the strong impact of the water flow was about to wash them apart.

At the same time, Zhu Ci also saw some phantoms from ancient times in the water.

Their faces were either terrified or sorrowful; they quickly met the blessing, but then penetrated his body and drowned in the surging river.

"Be careful!" Zhu Ci could still speak in the water, but Shen Wu couldn't. Not only could he not speak, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't even see where the other person was.

…

"Ahem."

I don't know when the water calmed down.

Even though he had turned into a fish, Zhu Cibi had never fought in the water before, so the whirlpool inevitably made him dizzy. After a while of adjusting to the situation, he raised his head.

Somehow the water level dropped, and Zhu Ci looked around but couldn't find a place to step.

He glanced at his bracelet.

I always forgot there was such a thing.

A line is vaguely visible heading in a certain direction.

Do you want to go find him?

"Cough cough cough." Zhu Ci coughed and suddenly felt something was wrong. However, just as he turned his head, he was pinched on the chin by a black shadow that fell from the sky.

"Found it, terrorist."

Zhu Ci raised his hand and twisted his wrist, but the other party flexibly circled around, grabbed his arm and pulled him out.

The sound of water splashing continued to ring out.

As it left the water, a fish tail slapped it.

"When you don't have legs, you probably can't beat me. Ah, generally speaking, isn't your original form more powerful? As a fish, how can you bite water?"

The tail was too bulky for the speech, but he had done leg weight training before, though not in this timeline.

All I can say is that the other party reacted too quickly.

It was already clear who was coming.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Catch you and take you back." Twenty-four.

"Isn't it an immediate execution?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Haha, Seventy-five, are you kidding me? I..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Ci suddenly changed his strategy and reached out to grab him in the face.

"Um?"

He instinctively tried to back away, but Zhuci just pulled his clothes.

"It's just clothes, I'll just give it to you."

It's hard to turn your legs back without clothes.

"Humph, it seems you still want to save face, little fish."

Congratulations: "..."

It would be much easier to fight with legs, if the opponent doesn't always act like a hooligan.

"Hey, don't lift your feet too much. My dress isn't that long. You'll see everything."

Congratulations: "..."

Zhu Ci kicked him into the water.

The water remained calm for a long time.

Zhu Ci suddenly felt something was wrong with his legs!

Zhuci suddenly turned into a mermaid.

"Let go!" Zhu Ci reached out and grabbed his hair.

"Ahem. I admit that you are difficult to beat. But listen to me, you will agree to go back with me." Twenty-four said.

"?"

…

After removing the waterproof material on the outside, Zhu Ci touched a piece of paper inside.

He took out a tissue and wiped his hands dry.

Zhou Nian's voice suddenly jumped out.

"That's it! This is what you're looking for."

The king's letterhead?

"The name above is my name." Twenty-four's voice sounded nearby.

It really is just a piece of paper.

Blessing speech to pull it out.

This is even paper that has been painted over many times.

There are a few lines of words written on the horizontal line on the front, in an incomprehensible font.

"Not this way, but the other way around."

The blessing speech was turned to the back at Twenty-Four's reminder.

There was a word written on the back, and I didn’t recognize the greeting.

He looked at Twenty-Four: "Why are you writing on a piece of paper that has already been written?"

Twenty-four: "Do you know how long I have been looking for paper? It has been so long since the era of paper, and this antique is still something I have never seen before..."

He stopped talking.

Congratulations: "Museum?"

"From an old fellow's house."

“Is your name expensive?”

"Exorbitant prices hold the key to the survival or destruction of this world." Twenty-Four said proudly.

"?"

“With my signature on it, it will only go up in value.”

Zhu Ci didn't care whether the item would increase in value or not, but he felt strangely a little bit...

This is too smooth.

Zhou Nian said: "Next, you have to think about how to survive. This item can be used to contact half of your binding with the dungeon. As long as you use it, I will be able to let you come and go freely in the game."

"Is it only able to cancel the contract?"

"It also has a binding function, but you need to write each other's names on it."

Zhuci said, "Has your name been written on it?"

Zhou Nian: "Ah? Who wrote it? Who signed it? Are you crazy? How can I use it? Let him turn to ashes first! No, ordinary people can't use props."

Zhu Ci glanced at twenty-four.

Success is due to Xiao He, and failure is due to Xiao He.

“The look in your eyes…”

At this point, Zhu Ci retracted his gaze and said, "My name is Zhu Ci."

“Nice name.”

Greeting: "Well, so how do you pronounce your name?"

Zhuci tried hard to decipher the word, but couldn't recognize it.

"This word has disappeared. It belongs to the previous era." Twenty-four said softly, "The pronunciation is..."

He read it out softly.

Zhu Ci was stunned: "Mist?"

"Yes, before me, it should be the meaning of the wizard." Twenty-four explained.

"Are you already from the previous world?" Zhu Ci was also a little surprised.

"Yes, stick my name on your heart to ward off evil."

Zhu Ci frowned, is that true or false?

"I can go with you, but you have to tell me something."

"You are wrong. You must beg to go with me. Otherwise, you will die."

…

"Another dead end?" Xu Qiao finally reached the end, but there was no way forward.

The flood just now washed them away, and then countless monsters emerged.

Xu Qiao suspected that he was hallucinating.

Without the blessing, hallucinations became a difficult hurdle, and the most frightening thing was to kill a partner as a monster.

Xu Qiao reached out and touched the wall in front of him, hoping it was an illusion, but the wall seemed to be real.

Suddenly there was a sound from behind.

"Data collection of subject 3077 completed, recovery completed."

Xu Qiao turned around and saw a group of soldiers he had seen in the experimental building before.

At this moment, my skin suddenly felt dry. Even though there was water all around me, I suddenly felt thirsty.

Xu Qiao glanced at his hands and saw scales.

…

"Mr. Consul, the road to the outside has been blocked. The troops that can be mobilized in the Sky City have been assembled, and the warships surrounding them are also ready. Four mermaid experiments have been brought back."

On the top floor of the laboratory building, Xi Lai, who had been resurrected from the dead, was looking at the screen in front of him and listening to the reports from his subordinates.

They had already placed attractants in the water. In the underground environment with abundant moisture, these people would be transformed faster. Even if they couldn't catch all of them, they could just catch them in a jar and blow them up.

"If you find someone named Zhuci, just kill him."

"Well, what about that guy? He seems to be down there too." the man asked in a low voice.

"He, you guys are still going to kill him now, don't worry about it."

…

"The sky city originally belonged to the sea. They discovered this mysterious land buried in the sea and dug out the core of the underwater city. They also learned the secret that this core could fly into the air. In pursuit of fame and fortune, they lifted it into the sky. Because the core that originally belonged to the ocean rose, the sea water rose."

Zhu Ci asked: "What exactly is this core?"

"That's a rule, just like the evolution of organisms is a rule and the force of gravity is a rule."

"It will exist in the ocean and protect the birth of life. When the first person touches the core, he will immediately understand the price of changing the rules, but he still changes it. This is also a potential rule. If the evil thoughts in people's hearts exceed the protection of civilization, then the world will choose to restart. This is the world's self-protection procedure." Twenty-four.

"Are the rules so easy to change?"

"Of course it's me who wants to destroy the world." Twenty-Four said casually.

"Is it you?"

"That person was not me, but I was the one who told him how to change." Twenty-Four explained hastily, fearing to have anything to do with that kind of guy.

"And what is your relationship with the Consul?"

"It doesn't matter, but he was touching something very dangerous and I had to watch him. He couldn't refuse." Twenty-four.

"Is it something that claims to be able to make people become gods, or to be able to fulfill other people's wishes?" Zhuci asked.

"Well, have you seen it?"

"What if that thing becomes a spirit and wants to swallow up the core?"

"Then it really wants to die." Twenty-four said in disgust.

Zhu Ci couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that your memory will also be reset regularly?"

"How do you know?"

Congratulations: "..."

His smile disappeared. It seemed that he had guessed it right.

"Having lived too long, I must allow myself to forget more things. Otherwise, I would be thinking every day about how to destroy the world. It might be more interesting to start over again," he said.

After chatting for a while, the water vapor below became more and more dense, but it made it difficult to breathe.

Twenty-four suddenly looked for something on the wall next to him, and finally pressed a certain position, and then a door appeared on the wall.

"Go in, there are things a lot of people want in there."

Before he could say anything, he was thrown in.

Zhu Ci watched the stone door close before his eyes: "?"

No, why doesn't he come in.

…

The water is as clear as ever. When the blood merges into the river, not even a trace is left. No one will notice how many people have died.

Twenty-four leaned against the wall, waiting quietly, watching humans and monsters passing by him. Anyway, nothing would come to disturb him. Finally, he waited for a person who didn't seem to have any bloody smell on him, didn't even have a weapon, and looked very decent except for a little water on his clothes.

"We finally meet."

The man walked straight up to him.

"Where is he?"

"Who is he?"

"Greetings."

Twenty-four smiled slightly: "Aren't you here to find me to get your name back?"

"No." Shen Wu looked at him speechlessly, "Why should I ask you for your name back?"

“It looks like there are a lot of interesting things happening in the future.”

"Interesting, but where is he?"

"It's locked up." Twenty-four spread his hands, "A place only we can find. Isn't this what you always wanted to do?"

Shen Wu didn't say anything, seeming to be thinking about something.

"You can't lock it up."

"But this long time is enough for us to solve all the problems, isn't it?"

Shen Wu walked forward and pasted a piece of paper on the wall.

"What are you doing?"

"Something that can extend time."

The paper given by Kallis has different functions. This one has the function that after you open the door and walk out, you will be teleported back into the door.

…

Without understanding the real meaning of the twenty-fourth's speech, he walked around the door.

As No. 24 said, there are many treasures here. Gems are only secondary. There are more ingenious handicrafts and shells used to record civilization.

Zhuci had no time to appreciate these things, he continued walking inside.

"Zhou Nian." Zhu Ci took out the puppet, "Can you sense the location of the game?"

"You want to go straight to it?"

"My guess is that the game once seduced the executive officer and used the ancient bloodline to absorb the core, thus gaining the ability to pull people into the game on a large scale." Zhuci said.

"I want the core to fall back into the sea."

"History cannot be changed. Moreover, if your blood is needed, it will be very dangerous."

Congratulations and nods.

"Without me, Yugi can still use the power of the rules that other players have absorbed in this dungeon. This time, he might be able to directly plunder my soul."

After all, the reason Yugi couldn't contract him was because he didn't have complete emotions, but now, he does.

"No wonder he didn't stop you from falling in love."

Zhuci walked from beginning to end and toured the room.

There was nothing in it to help him.

Let's go.

The congratulations return to where we started.

The walls were so tightly closed that Zhu Ci couldn't even find the door.

Still want to solve the puzzle?

Zhu Ci frowned and fumbled on the wall for a while, but found nothing.

“…”

Zhuci was wondering if Twenty-Four did it on purpose.

He returned to the room and took out the shells with the words on them to examine them.

…

An hour passed.

Zhu Ci was quite speechless. He couldn't speak even when walking on his legs, and he had to conjure up a fish tail if he wanted to curse.

It's impossible not to get out.

Zhuci briefly recalled his experience of playing the escape room game, and went to other rooms, looking for clues room by room.

To open this door, find three openable grids on the wall in the second house, take out the three beads stored inside, and put them into the lock of a cabinet in the third room in order. After opening the cabinet, take out the key inside, open a compartment in the box in the second room, then take out a note, knock on the stone slab according to the instructions on the note, and the door will open.

Congratulations: "..."

It looks simple, but guess how long it took him to figure it out? At least the escape room game has text hints, but here there is only one?

Never experienced a copy like this.

The door finally opened and Zhu Ci hurried out.

then……

He looked at the door in front of him and frowned.

Zhu Ci walked out again and returned to the original place.

Congratulations: “???”

Zhu Ci opened the live broadcast room, wanting to see if there were any players behind the scenes. He knew it as soon as he saw the audience laughing.

But when I opened it and took a look, I found that the live broadcast had been turned off. The reason was: "According to players' reports, the live broadcast content is not suitable for children."

Zhu Ci looked down. Because he often turned into a tail, he always found a long piece of clothing to wear. Was that the reason?

Now he won't say a word, so just get dressed.

…

"As long as you hand over a man named Zhuci, we will let you go."

"Tsk, now that you guys have captured us, how are we going to know where the blessing is?"

Being surrounded by a group of NPCs with their own abilities and guns, what else can you do except surrender.

Annuo glanced at the increasing number of players around him and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Hey! Isn't this Little Red Riding Hood? I'm your fan, goddess!" Two female players from the top ten came in.

"Can I sit next to my goddess?"

Annuo closed his eyes: "..." He couldn't pretend anymore.

Perhaps her hands had never been tied up, and she suddenly snapped her fingers, causing a group of NPCs to explode in front of her.

"Wow! The goddess is so handsome!"

Calis whispered, "Sister, you are exposed too quickly."

"It's none of my business, but I can't just pretend I'm weak." That's too embarrassing.

Annuo took out a few bottles of medicine and threw them to the people next to him.

"Drink it."

"Is it really possible?"

Annuo didn't answer, but just walked out.

Xie Tianhua: "Do I have one too?"

Yu Chu finally spit out the food in his mouth: "No, I'm a researcher, why did you arrest me too?"
