【Glass Flower】
[The slums of the abandoned city, a place full of death and opportunities]
[In addition to ugly monsters, there may also be wealth and extraordinary people in the sewers. If you stay in the slums all your life, then naturally there will be no hope or despair.]
[People who live between the slums and the rich areas are struggling the most. In their lives, the stench of toxic waste gas and the sweet smell of cakes permeate their minds at the same time.]
[You have been commissioned to investigate the death of a doctor. This will not be a simple commission. The darkness under the most dazzling stage and the kindness in the darkest sewer may be the basis for your judgment, but the truth is more than that. Go explore.]
[Mission Difficulty: Alienation]
[Task requirements: Find the murderer who killed Dr. House]
[Task requirements: Survive until the end of the event]
[“He is a good man, I know. He has always been a good man. How could he encounter such a thing?”]
"It involves slums and rich areas, the span is huge, there may be class differences, industrial waste gas, does the waste city already have such advanced productivity?"
"And I can't choose the difficulty, is it because Silent Land thinks I will definitely choose [Alienation]? Although I will definitely choose this, isn't it a bit unreasonable for Him to do so?"
Lu Ban pondered.
It is obvious that at least three people died in this mission, including a doctor who was the main subject of the investigation, a call girl, and a gang member. It is not clear whether there is any connection between the deaths of these three people.
The connection between them may be the key to finding the murderer.
Lu Ban is not very good at work that requires his brain, so he decided to wait until he arrives at the ruined city and let Trist do the work.
Xia is responsible for dealing with monsters that cannot be defeated.
Lu Ban is responsible for shouting 666.
Very reasonable.
As for the difficulty of [Alienation], Lu Ban had no idea what was in the abandoned city that could cause people to be so seriously polluted, but he had already carried out so many missions of [Alienation] difficulty, so this time wouldn't be a big deal.
He packed up his things and declined interviews from more TV stations, websites, and variety shows.
Pick up the trophy.
[Do you want to enter the quiet place?]
【whether】
Lu Ban pressed the [Yes] button on the trophy.
In an instant, Lu Ban heard continuous and abrupt gunshots, and then heard a woman's scream. He felt that the surroundings suddenly turned into a magnificent dance hall, and then a dirty and smelly sewer. The friction sound of some metal made his teeth ache, and finally, the sound of something breaking was deafening.
[The speed of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]
[The time ratio of this journey is: 2:1]
[Number of companions: 2]
[Heading to the Wasted City]
As the words flashed, Lu Ban felt that he touched something hard.
Not the feet, but the back.
Something is wrong.
Lu Ban found himself in a closed space.
Not only behind him, but also on the left, right, and front sides, there were hard objects blocking his movement.
There is no way out even above your head and under your feet.
Lu Ban was in darkness.
He tried pushing at the front, but nothing moved.
"What's going on? Are we going to encounter some weird situation at the beginning of this game?"
When Lu Ban was teasing himself, he felt something else.
In the darkness, heat rises.
This temperature is not normal room temperature, but is getting hotter and hotter.
The air in the space became scorching hot, and Lu Ban's face felt dry. He felt that the oxygen in the space had become much thinner.
The high temperature coming from behind made him sweat, and the strange feeling brought by confinement enveloped Lu Ban's heart.
He reached out and touched the barrier in front of him.
It can be felt that it seems to be a wooden structure, no more than three centimeters thick, but very heavy.
"Is this...inside a coffin?"
Lu Ban realized it later.
His hand could feel some marks on the wooden board in front of him, and these marks seemed to be distributed in a certain pattern on the board.
He fumbled around for a bit, and soon, a string of foreign words emerged in his mind.
——Save me!
That was the sound dug out by fingernails, a howl with solidified blood!
At the same time, the temperature changed from dry heat to scorching heat, enough to cause blisters on the skin.
Lu Ban also understood his current situation.
He's probably, possibly, in a coffin at the crematorium.
When he realized this, a silver revolver [Last Words] materialized in Lu Ban's hand.
Bang——
The word bullet was fired, and the coffin containing Lu Ban suddenly accelerated in one direction.
Clang——
The huge impact made Lu Ban's ears hurt and a lot of blood flowed.
Before the grass had time to grow, Lu Ban started shooting at the coffin lids around him.
The next moment, light came in from the gap in the coffin lid.
The heavy wood flew in all directions and smashed into the wall. Lu Ban fell to the ground and his butt hurt a little.
A scream was heard and Lu Ban quickly checked the surrounding situation.
There were several people in the room, both men and women, aged between thirty and fifty, wearing black formal suits. They were staring at Lu Ban, looking extremely flustered.
Behind Lu Ban was the crematorium's incinerator. Unlike modern high-temperature incinerators, the incinerator here still used firewood and gasoline. The coffin was burning with flames and had been embedded in the wall of the incineration room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your cremation."
Lu Ban said to those who looked like family members.
Could it be that this time he is rising from the coffin as a dead person?
"Who are you? Where is my father?"
A woman in a black dress questioned.
"Well, if you don't mind, I can take your father's place. At least he's alive."
Lu Ban brushed off the dust on his body and stood up.
"You stole my husband's body!?"
A woman with gray hair on her temples screamed, holding a handkerchief in her hand and looking shocked.
"Can I take back what I just said? I have decided not to be your father anymore."
Lu Ban hurriedly said to the woman in the black dress.
"The body, where is the body?"
A man in white, who looked like a funeral home worker, was panicking.
Lu Ban looked around.
"At least not here."
"Call others quickly, call others quickly!"
A man dressed in black, who looked to be about fifty years old, shouted.
Lu Ban was not too sure either, because the Land of Silence usually allowed the Chosen Ones to perfectly integrate into the mission, and those foreign people would not doubt the identity of the Chosen Ones, but why did something seem a little wrong this time?
Was he supposed to play the role of the dead father, or was he just a Floo fan who went to the wrong place, just like going from Diagon Alley to Diagon Alley?
Just then, a funeral home worker walked into the room with a man.
"Mr. Drizzt, it's him, he stole the body!"
