Chapter 63 Children’s Choir (1)
Gu Qiufeng counted the number of people present, six, fewer than the number he met in the first copy, so it seemed that the difficulty would not be too high.
But it’s hard to say. Gu Qiufeng felt that the difficulty of their first dungeon was too high because Xie Songjin, an S-level player, sneaked in.
He suddenly wondered why Xie Songjin came to this low-level copy for no reason?
For some reason, Gu Qiufeng felt that Xie Songjin's purpose from the beginning was to get close to him.
But he had just entered the game at that time. How did Xie Songjin know the information about the dungeon he would go to?
Seeing that he remained silent, Duan Jiangli took the initiative to ask, "Is this the original base camp?"
Gu Qiufeng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Duan Jiangli to know so much.
Duan Jiangli smiled and said, "I was originally doing a mission, and suddenly a bus came from our car to the mission site. I knew it must be related to the recent fatal fall. Don't look at me like that. Isn't the A City Protection Center always doing these things? I must know something about it."
Gu Qiufeng moved his lips, wanting to ask what the relationship was between Duan Jiangli and Duan Chouyu in front of him.
If you look closely, you can see that they both look somewhat similar.
But before the two of them had time to exchange pleasantries, the priest finally spoke: "Dear guest, please hurry into the church."
Gu Qiufeng's voice was interrupted, and he could only observe the church in front of him.
The traditional medieval European Gothic architectural style, the towering church spires, and the white paint on the walls reveal a dark and mottled look from the years.
There are densely planted white birch trees next to it, and their thin and long branches look like the arms of mummies.
"Where on earth is this place..."
A girl said with a pale face.
Duan Jiangli smiled at the remaining frightened newcomers and said, "No matter where it is, we'd better go in and adapt to the situation. There are few people around, and it's not a good idea to stay outside when it gets dark."
It has to be said that as an official, Duan Jiangli has some skills in calming people's hearts.
Originally, the few newcomers who had suddenly arrived in a strange and weird place were at a loss, and it was fortunate that they did not collapse emotionally. But after hearing what Duan Jiangli said, they all felt that it was indeed dangerous to stay outside, and it would be better for them to go into the church first and slowly figure out the situation.
Gu Qiufeng looked at Duan Jiangli thoughtfully.
Duan Jiangli helped him a little. If these newcomers were mentally unstable and had conflicts with the NPCs, it would not be good for them.
No one had any objections at this point, and the six human players followed the priest in a white robe into the church.
After entering the church, Gu Qiufeng heard someone breathe a sigh of relief.
The church only looks a bit oppressive and scary from the outside, but it is surprisingly spacious and solemn inside. Sculptures of gods are placed in front of the rows of seats. The ceiling is very high and is surrounded by candles and lamps, which make the interior very bright.
A new girl quietly sighed: "I was so scared, I thought it was going to be a horror movie."
"That's hard to say, miss. Don't be careless in unfamiliar places." Duan Jiangli said with a smile. The girl's face turned pale because of his words, but her ears couldn't help blushing because of Duan Jiangli's appearance and behavior, so she secretly looked at him and Gu Qiufeng beside him a few more times.
The elite man in a suit said, "I think it would be better if we introduce ourselves first."
Duan Jiangli said, "That's not necessary."
The elite man was refuted by him, and a bit of annoyance appeared on his face: "Then tell me why it is not necessary."
"Come on, you can figure it out by just using your brain," Duan Jiangli said slowly, "You were all gathered here because you recently came into contact with a game called "Fatal Fall", right?"
The four new players were shocked. A strange software had indeed suddenly appeared on their mobile phones recently. Then they opened their eyes and found themselves on a bus. Then they suddenly came here inexplicably.
The elite man looked at him strangely: "How do you know so much?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because I have a brain." Duan Jiangli said.
This sentence immediately made the elite man so angry that his face turned pale.
Gu Qiufeng looked at Duan Jiangli with curiosity and felt that this man really had the demeanor he had in his past.
"Congratulations on entering this survival game. The authorities have reminded you many times that any abnormal situation should be reported in time, why didn't you listen to the advice?" Duan Jiangli said helplessly, "Now it's okay, try your best to survive."
Gu Qiufeng moved over silently.
Duan Jiangli looked flattered: "Senior Gu, what can I do for you?"
He used a very low volume, so that only the two of them could hear it.
Senior Gu...what a bullshit title.
Gu Qiufeng's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but ask: "You advised them not to touch the game casually, so how did you, as an official staff, enter the game?"
Duan Jiangli smiled and said, "I did it on purpose. The various anomalies in reality are really bizarre. I think if I want to get in touch with the origin of these sects, I must go deep into the game."
"Besides, I have a sister. I don't believe that she will die at the hands of Origin with her strength." When the young man said this, the smile on his face finally faded a little. "Mr. Gu, you are so familiar with me and trust me. It shouldn't be just because I am an official staff member, right?"
"You've seen a girl who looks like me in the game, right?"
From the moment he entered the dungeon, Duan Jiangli had been acting frivolous, even when he was talking about the origin of the anomaly in reality. But only when he was talking about his sister did the young man's face finally show seriousness. The candlelight reflected in his eyes, as if gathering a cluster of bright flames for Duan Jiangli.
But Duan Chouyu didn't remember. For the sake of mankind's prophecy, she gave up all her memories of reality.
Duan Chouyu no longer remembered that she had a younger brother.
Gu Qiufeng paused, then said: "We have met once, but we are not familiar with each other. Maybe you can meet in the game in the future."
Duan Jiangli finally breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as she's alive, I'm not greedy for anything else."
Gu Qiufeng added: "Your attitude towards those players doesn't seem to be very good."
Duan Jiangli smiled and said, "I'm from the A City Protection Center. I only deal with chaos, and I'm not responsible for human affairs."
Gu Qiufeng: "Oh."
"Senior, do you have any experience with dungeons?" Duan Jiangli asked warmly, "Considering your friendship with my sister..."
Gu Qiufeng said decisively: "I am not familiar with your sister, and..."
"You have a good brain." He said with a wry smile, "I believe you can complete the dungeon perfectly."
Duan Jiangli didn't expect that the boomerang could hit him back. The smile on his face froze, but he was not angry. Instead, he complained in a low voice: "Senior, you are really stingy."
Gu Qiufeng ignored Duan Jiangli's words.
It's not that he wants to make enemies with others, but Duan Jiangli is too insincere. Eight out of ten sentences he says are just acting.
Gu Qiufeng felt that among what he said about the causes and consequences of entering the game, only the part about Duan Chouyu contained true feelings.
The reason why Duan Jiangli, the captain of the A City Protection Center, was willing to enter the game must be more complicated than what Duan Jiangli said.
Duan Jiangli appears to be frivolous and unreliable, but he is actually quite shrewd.
Gu Qiufeng planned to wait until this guy started telling the truth before saying anything else.
At this moment, the priest who had not been seen since they entered the church reappeared. He stood on the high platform in front of the chairs used for reciting scriptures. He bowed to them politely and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here."
There was total silence.
The priest didn't care whether the six people responded or not, and continued to speak: "Recently, there has been an epidemic and the believers have been displaced. We sincerely invite everyone in the choir to sing the songs of the Holy Lord for the patients, pray for them, and relieve their pain until the Lord bestows grace on them and heals them."
Duan Jiangli: "... Damn it, I can't listen to this anymore. Materialism can't stand this."
"Then, where is the patient?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
Duan Jiangli glanced at him and curved his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The priest said gently: "These patients cannot see the light. You can only sing for them at night."
Gu Qiufeng said, "Since it's daytime now, can you tell us where you live? You also said that we have been running around all day. What if we are exhausted before we even start working? 996 is not as exploitative as you are."
Newcomer: “…………”
Duan Jiangli: “…………”
Priest: “………………”
At this time, the five people and the NPC fell into silence because of Gu Qiufeng's question, but they all had the same idea -
Brother, I just started playing the game, isn't it bad to be so just now? ? ?
After the elite man realized what was happening, he glared at him and said, "Are you provoking the game NPC like this?"
Gu Qiufeng ignored him and stared at the priest silently.
The priest was silent for a long time. Players in the past had never made such an outrageous request. For convenience, they would even sleep directly in this hall. This was the first time that someone shamelessly asked him for accommodation.
He said, "I'll set it up, please wait a moment."
Duan Jiangli: “……?”
This time, even he was a little surprised, and asked silently: "Senior Gu, is the NPC in the game so easy to talk to?"
"Oh, no." Gu Qiufeng said, "It's just because if he gets angry, I can also find a way to kill him."
Duan Jiangli: “.”
Duan Jiangli: "I'm glad to hear your advice. So that's how it is."
Thanks to Gu Qiufeng, each of their players got a luxurious private room. As for whether there was anything strange in the room, it was safer than having several players squeezed into a church with no chain links and many entrances in all directions.
It was still early before the scheduled time to see the group of patients, so Gu Qiufeng asked Akana to help him keep watch while he went to bed to take a nap.
After all, he hardly got any sleep in the last dungeon, and Gu Qiufeng is now almost dying of exhaustion, working on the two dungeons back and forth.
After waking up, Gu Qiufeng heard the sound of scratching on the door outside.
He and Arcana looked at each other.
Arcana silently picked up the huge sickle and said, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Gu. I will take care of it."
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
He wasn't afraid, he just felt a little sympathetic towards the ghosts outside.
