The fifth copy
The main reason I chose this dungeon was to find out why I encountered the old demon king's subordinates every time I entered the dungeon.
Now the reason is right in front of us, and with Cassia occupying the core of the dungeon, Du Ming is honestly not worried at all about passing it.
What he wants to do now is to find a member of the Du family, preferably one with a certain status, so that it will be easier for him to obtain more information.
Du Ming and Cassia had discussed this matter and were ready to tackle it with both hands.
As the core of the dungeon, Cassia will definitely be wanted by the old demon king's subordinates to control him or even replace him. If Du Ming's group wants to kill him, the first thing they need to do is to find him.
So how do you find him? The most straightforward way is to follow the story, identify who he is, and then take action. A more ruthless approach is to simply eliminate all players.
Given the other party's reputation as a copy destroyer, Du Ming prefers the latter.
According to the information Shao Feizhu got, the strange news that had been wreaking havoc in Lulin Town before was caused by a rare gossip woman.
It is said that he loved gossiping behind people's backs when he was alive, and one day he accidentally fell into a river and died. Unfortunately, he was unwilling to give up after his death, and often whispered gossip in people's ears at night. The gossip spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and thus the image was born.
Although the gossip girl has been captured and killed, her energy remains. So here, we must pay attention to three points.
First, try to talk less; second, if you hear any strange noises, remember not to respond; third, be careful not to gossip about others with your teammates.
Shao Feizhu sent the precautions to the three people.
The other two were veterans and nodded obediently. Although this was Du Ming's first time, his previous performance had already demonstrated his extraordinary strength.
The others didn't think he would be stupid enough to commit suicide.
Then comes the distribution of equipment.
In addition to the unique uniforms, the garbage cleaner also has an energy residue eliminator, which is a bit like a vacuum cleaner, but with a smaller opening at the front and an energy warning device on the side.
After the equipment was confirmed, the four of them officially set off with the main force.
Fifty teams participated in this mission, each consisting of four to six members. When signing up, team leaders could select an area to clean, and points would be awarded based on the remaining energy.
So every time I sign up, it feels like a lottery draw.
Of course, energy residue is not completely harmless, so some teams hope to draw an area with an intermediate energy residue.
Shao Feizhu is no exception.
This time they chose Area 33, which mainly covered a village in the small town of Lulin.
Because of the gossip, everyone in the village moved to the next town, so the place is now deserted, with the grass in the fields taller than the crops. However, judging by the planting, life here must have been good.
What a pity.
Several people showed regretful expressions on their faces.
Actually, Lulin Town was relatively good; after the strange rumors were eliminated, the townspeople could return. In some places, powerful strange rumors took over, leaving no one in a position to invade or escape. That was the true state of calling out to heaven and earth, but no one could get help.
Shao Feizhu's plan was for four people to take charge of four corners, start carpet cleaning, and finally meet in the middle.
Du Ming chose the east direction for no other reason than that he heard the narration say so.
[You feel a little unwell. There seems to be signs of energy fluctuations in the east...east.]
The other three people knew nothing about this, and the task was assigned as it was.
Following the plot, Du Ming came to the east of the village. Before he got close, he felt a sense of discomfort.
This is different from what happened in Xiaokan Village before.
A strange stone from Xiaokan Village is trapped inside Zhao Chang, who is then trapped in a coffin. Inside, one experiences significant external changes, such as an imbalance in the flow of time and a reversal of day and night.
Here, because the strange news had been eliminated, only a portion of the energy remained. Therefore, it was more of an internal reaction.
For example, he really wants to speak now.
Du Ming said that except for the time when he was a game anchor and needed to talk more when explaining the plot to the audience, he had never wanted to talk so much.
It's like another mouth is controlling my lips.
Du Ming: "..." He silently covered his mouth and sucked at that place with the energy residue eliminator.
As if sucking out blackheads, a black mist was sucked from underground into the eliminator. The moment the energy disappeared, Du Ming felt much better.
The other members of the same team also felt a bit strange, but it wasn't their first time doing this kind of cleaning mission. Furthermore, their geographical location was different from Du Ming's, so the strangeness wasn't as obvious; at most, they felt a slight itch in their mouths.
Li Gao felt a little uncomfortable opening and closing his mouth, so he slapped himself hard.
Instantly, I felt refreshed.
Their team was living quite comfortably, but there were many people who were in a bad situation, such as the person who followed Du Ming in.
He was a peripheral member of the Du family, called Du Juan, and he wasn't considered a top member among the family's children. Originally, this kind of work wasn't his turn, but he'd heard that a family member had followed Du Ming into a dungeon and never emerged.
As a result, the elders of the Du family were unwilling to let their direct descendants take action, so they let their collateral descendants serve as cannon fodder.
Du Juan was naturally unwilling to come, but his parents forced him to come, saying that there was someone inside to meet him. He had no choice but to come in.
However, there was indeed someone who could contact him. As soon as Du Juan came in, someone contacted him immediately. Not only was he an NPC, but he was also a high-ranking member of the alliance.
With the other party's care, Du Juan has lived quite comfortably these days.
Who would have thought that after just a few days of comfort, I would be sent to this remote place to complete a mission.
Although Du Juan does not have a rank in the Du family, the Du family is wealthy and has enough food for him, so why does he need to work?
So Du Juan didn't believe that Du Ming would come to work on the plot.
As for the rumors that the other party had cleared several dungeons in a row, Du Juan didn't believe them. Perhaps he had earned it by selling his body.
Du Juan was poking and touching the energy residue eliminator distributed by the team here and there, and he felt his mouth becoming more and more itchy.
It's like I'll die if I don't speak.
Although the person who met him beforehand had warned him not to speak, Du Juan had agreed, but now he was feeling uncomfortable.
Your mouth feels uncomfortable and you really want to talk.
What kind of bullshit is this narrator saying? Doesn’t he know what he wants to say?
Besides, he still hasn't figured out the purpose of this plot narration. What a hassle!
Du Juan's mouth moved, but he couldn't help but say, "It's all Du Ming's fault. Why did he have to enter the dungeon to complete the quest? Why couldn't he just be captured?"
"And that damn NPC, why didn't they find someone else to do this kind of mission instead of asking me to do it?"
Every time Du Juan spoke, a body of energy would run over from a place he couldn't see and gather at the soles of his feet.
Gradually, his face became distorted, his facial features began to change, and his tongue became much longer without him noticing.
"Hey, why does something feel wrong?"
"Whatever. It's nice to be able to talk."
“Hehehe…”
...
Your energy is slipping away. Go east, and you'll find something new there.
Du Ming was doing his job well when the plot narration suddenly came.
He stood up and looked to the east.
East?
He calculated the time. It had only just begun, and the other party had already taken action so soon? Du Ming felt that this person was somewhat of a novice, but he needed to go over and take a look anyway.
Du Ming put on a layer of invisibility cloak and moved forward.
At the same time, many people were walking towards the place where energy gathered.
Modice, the alliance leader who was supposed to be meeting Du Juan, was sitting in his office, drinking tea and counting the time. He figured that idiot Du Juan must have been unable to hold back and started talking.
As early as the moment he received the information, he knew that this guy was not very useful. As expected, he was just a lazy idiot.
Fortunately, his role now is just to attract those players over, and then... naturally, a firework will send everyone to the sky.
As if she had foreseen a bright future, a smile appeared on Modice's face.
On this side, Du Ming met Du Juan not long after walking east.
A thin man in uniform half-crouched on the ground, muttering, "Damn Du Ming, damn the Du family. Hey...where's the village chief? Where have all the villagers gone?"
Sometimes it was a low male voice, sometimes a high female voice, and the two mixed together, it was extremely strange.
You discovered the gossip woman and decided to eliminate her.
Under normal circumstances, Du Ming would have taken action to resolve the situation long ago, but when he heard the man repeatedly saying his name, he knew his chance had come.
Is there a better time to ask a question than now? The answer is, of course, no.
Du Ming walked closer and clamped the person down before he could pounce.
Du Ming calmly took out a cell phone from his pocket as his tongue, which was about twenty to thirty centimeters long, swung back and forth.
What's a gossip-monger like me fear the most? Of course, having my tongue pulled out.
So her tongue could be said to be her weak point, her weak spot. All Du Ming had to do was seize this point and control her.
So he played an audio clip on his mobile phone.
"The most common ways to cook pig tongue... First, select a pig tongue, wash it several times with salt, trim off the fat, meridians, etc., then boil a pot of water and add the washed pig tongue..."
As the home cooking recipe played, the man finally responded.
The black mist condensed in the eyes began to fluctuate violently, and the tongue that was twenty to thirty centimeters long gradually shortened to ten centimeters. Just when it was about to become even shorter, Du Ming grabbed it with one hand.
He asked softly, "What's your name? Du family?"
The man wanted to struggle, but the gossipy nature of the woman prevented him from moving. He spoke uncontrollably: "My name is Du Juan, a member of the Du family's side branch... My father's name is..."
The tongue grew longer unconsciously, and when it returned to its original length, Du Ming started to cook pig tongue in another way.
Just like that, one question and one answer, accompanied by the recipe of cold pork tongue, in the end even the ignorant black fog energy felt scared.
Not to mention the players who were coming from a distance to follow the storyline: "..." They didn't dare to get close at all.
Someone was so scared that he accidentally bit his tongue, and after a hissing sound, he quickly covered his mouth.
The players next to them covered their mouths at the same time when they saw this.
When Du Ming finished asking the question, he turned around and saw everyone covering their mouths and looking at them as if they were perverts.
