That armor was only a level 20 rare item, but it was still quite unusual for it to drop from an elite monster.
Before.
Su Bai will definitely be happy for a while.
However, this armor is better than the one Ning Hongchen is currently wearing, and giving it to her as a replacement resulted in a slight improvement.
Enter the room.
The room was a mess, ravaged by the monster, with bloodstains and grotesque claw marks everywhere.
In the bedroom, which was blocked by furniture, the group found a rotting corpse that had been tied up.
Her belly was swollen high.
Without a doubt.
This is yet another innocent woman persecuted by the birth ritual of the Lord of Nothingness.
In this bedroom, Su Bai found a key, several sets of clothes, and a booklet locked in a safe, with different numbers written on each page.
[Obtained: Key to the lounge!]
[Obtained: Ballet Costume!]
[Obtained: The password book for the tax office safe!]
...
"I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected bonus."
Su Bai was pleasantly surprised.
The key to the lounge was a prop used to open a hidden door in the theater.
And combining these ballet costumes.
It's not hard to guess.
The dead woman before us was very likely a ballet dancer who worked at the Goethe Theatre.
What a coincidence!
The codebook is likely the identity item of the male owner of the building, the survivor he just killed.
He not only worked in an important tax office in the city.
Moreover, he also shoulders heavy responsibilities.
The tax office's safe must contain a lot of valuable items...?
I'll go check it out if I have the chance.
"Are you done yet? It stinks in there, and you're acting like nothing happened!"
Ning Hongchen urged from outside the door, covering her nose.
A highly decomposed corpse was fermenting in a cramped, enclosed room. The stench was enough to knock a person unconscious, but Su Bai seemed completely unaffected, rummaging through the room. This scene truly shocked everyone's senses.
"..." Su Bai reacted for a moment, then looked up and smiled calmly, "It's just a game, what are you afraid of? There will be even tougher environments to come."
"Easy for you to say..."
Ning Hongchen looked at him as if he were a monster.
"You're not a forensic pathologist in real life, are you? Or a mortician?... I suddenly feel like you're some kind of psychopathic killer!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Bai Di arrived here a long time before us, so he must be used to this kind of small scene."
Although Jiu Ming was trying to explain, her eyes looked a little strange.
Although it's a game.
But the game graphics for immortality are in no way inferior to reality.
Those with weaker constitutions, like Su Siyao, had already retreated outside and started retching. Not everyone can face a rotting corpse and still chat and laugh as if nothing happened.
Or rather...
Almost no one can do that.
Su Bai's nonchalance seemed like a monster to the others, which made them somewhat uneasy.
"You'll get used to it eventually," Su Bai said with a light laugh, without explaining.
No more time was wasted.
Leave here.
The group then headed straight for Theater Street, which connects to Beva Street.
On the dimly lit street filled with smoke, a series of bright red figures wandered about. Most of the buildings on both sides had their doors and windows tightly closed, and the interiors were pitch black. At the end of the street, a large opera house stood quietly, like a monster crouching in the darkness, its huge and rugged outline faintly revealed.
"That old lady should live not far from the theater..."
Su Bai pondered for a moment.
Trist didn't know Mrs. Sandy's exact address. With so many buildings on both sides, they might have to search them one by one.
but.
Finding Mrs. Sandy to repay her favor was only one of Su Bai's purposes.
He had a feeling that this old woman might have a follow-up mission. With just a few casual words, she had brought up the hidden missions of Merlin and Youssefka, one of which was the most important main storyline. It would be hard to believe that she didn't have some secrets of her own.
"Let's make a scene in the street first. If she's still alive, she'll definitely come out looking for us."
As Su Bai spoke, he raised a large fireball.
boom!
Flames erupted in the street, creating a deafening roar. The billowing incense smoke was dispersed by the airflow, making the streetscape on both sides clearer.
The next moment.
The sound startled all the bloodthirsty monsters on the street.
At the same time, the group tacitly separated, all of them understanding that they didn't need to deal with these monsters at all, as Su Bai could handle them perfectly well. They then began searching the buildings on both sides.
The five people acted simultaneously.
It's very efficient.
They had already searched half the street in ten minutes.
Of course, to ensure efficiency, everyone just passed through all the resource points quickly, with the sole purpose of finding survivors.
But apart from finding a few elite monsters, they gained nothing.
"I think she's probably dead. We've made such a commotion here, even a deaf person would notice."
Ning Hongchen said as he pulled the spear from the corpse of a monster.
"There are so many monsters on this street, it's a miracle she survived. Let's see if we can find her body."
Su Bai said calmly.
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he walked to the corpse of a monster, pulling out a piece of clothing that was caught in the monster's claws.
On the blood-stained black cloth, a nightingale was embroidered with gold thread, and it looked quite valuable.
"Those are the clothes she was wearing."
Su Bai recognized it.
"Look over here... there's a bloodstain!" Mo Yu shouted immediately. After training with the blood elf in the Sin Village, his senses had become much sharper, and he could easily distinguish the bloodstain from the monster's.
Following the trail of blood.
The group soon arrived at a dark and narrow alley.
The alley was piled with garbage. Just as the group was about to pass by, Mo Yu stopped again. He suspiciously picked up a bag of garbage and then exclaimed, "Here it is! The person is still alive!"
Several people quickly surrounded them.
And there she was, the slender figure buried in the garbage heap, barely breathing – it was none other than Mrs. Sandy.
The person was still clinging to life.
Su Bai waved his hand, raising a faint light to envelop her body. However, to his surprise, the moment the light touched her, her body underwent a violent corrosive reaction, and within moments, her bones were visible!
"ah!!!"
The old woman, who was on the verge of death, was suddenly awakened by the pain.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her eyeballs seemed to have melted into liquid, which flowed down the corners of her eyes. She grabbed Su Bai and shouted:
"72!...72!"
That's all.
In an instant, it turned into a pool of blood!
"It's hopeless..." Su Bai sighed softly upon seeing this. She had been completely infected with scurvy. Even if the others didn't find her, it wouldn't be long before she turned into one of those terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters on the streets.
The healing effects of the Breath of Light had become a deadly poison for her at this moment.
