Chapter 21 Wonderful Easter Egg, Second Master Gu (Seeking to Read 45K2 in One)

Gu Zhinan looked around at the scene.

The place where the moon sets, the black cliffs, the nameless tombstones, the bloody sycamore trees, and the abandoned mine carts scattered everywhere. This location tastes right!

This is the location of a hidden easter egg in the early stage of the game!

In the game, the player leaves Qingtian County and heads north. When passing by this cliff, if the time happens to be an "yin year, yin time, yin moment", and the "fortune" happens to reach a certain value, and he has the "Ningpo Pearl" given by Old Lady Wang, there is a certain chance that he will see a little girl holding a butterfly kite on this cliff!

If the player goes up to talk to her, he will find that the little girl cannot speak and can only repeat a nursery rhyme over and over again.

After repeating this three times, the little girl will disappear, leaving behind a task item called "Lost Kite".

It’s a pity that there is no description of this kite prop, so players have no way to explore it and it can only be left in the inventory to gather dust.

However, because the triggering conditions of this easter egg are extremely harsh, and the nursery rhyme sung by the little girl is quite strange, this place has become a place for players to visit, check in, and take screenshots.

And named this Easter egg - "Horror Nursery Rhyme".

According to official data, as of the release of the eighth expansion pack, no player in the world has cracked this easter egg.

"hold head high--"

As if sensing something, the snow-white spirit horse Lingshuang raised its front hooves and neighed, seeming to be uneasy.

"Don't be afraid."

Pei Wanyu gently stroked the mane of her beloved horse and soothed it softly.

She then looked at the scholar who was looking around and said, "Take out the Soul Condensing Orb. I smell the scent of evil spirits."

"As expected of Boss Pei, I almost forgot about it."

Gu Zhinan casually took out the Soul Condensing Bead, and saw the lavender soul energy floating around on it, instantly converging towards the southeast!

They both looked in the direction indicated.

On a blood-red sycamore tree not far away, the figure of a little girl wearing a goose yellow skirt and pigtails gradually emerged.

The girl was about seven or eight years old. She was sitting on a tree branch, holding a kite in her hands, with a dazed look on her face.

Gu Zhinan understood.

Compared to the ghost which is actually a spirit demon, the little girl in front of him is the real ghost.

"It's just a ghost that doesn't even make the Ninth Grade. It can't do any evil. Don't bother with it."

Pei Jianxian waved his hand coldly and was about to get on the carriage.

She glanced back and saw that the scholar was motionless, as if he was waiting for something.

Fairy Pei curled her lips, showing a hint of contempt: "Okay, if you are afraid, I will blow it out in one breath."

"No, fairy."

Gu Zhinan shook his head and said, "If the evil spirits don't disperse, there must be injustice. This place is adjacent to Jinyang County Government. We might as well ask her about it. Maybe we can get evidence of the evil deeds of Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Wendao, uncle and nephew."

In the world view of "Fairy", ghosts, like demons and ferocious beasts, have their own cultivation levels, but due to the existence of the Yin-Yang boundary river, they rarely appear in the world of the living.

A weak Yin spirit can actually resist the pull of the Yin-Yang boundary river and stay in the world of the living. One can imagine how powerful the obsession in his heart is.

Gu Zhinan took out a string of candied haws from the book basket, walked forward, and forced a loving smile: "Little girl, come down quickly, brother will give you candy."

It's different from the silence in the game.

The little girl seemed startled. She covered her face and turned her petite body to the side.

Damn.

Do I look like a weirdo?

Gu Zhinan was speechless.

The next moment.

The candied haws in his hand was snatched away by a pair of snow-white hands! A tall figure in white clothes walked around him and stepped forward:

"Little girl, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Gu Zhinan was shocked.

He could hardly imagine that such a gentle smile would appear on the face of this female boss! What he could not have imagined was...

When the little girl heard Pei Jianxian's question, tears welled up in her eyes and she actually nodded!

You know, in the game, no matter how the player asks, the little girl always just shakes her head and repeats the nursery rhyme!

Do even ghosts know how to curry favor with others these days?

At this time, the little girl opened and closed her lips, and sang like a dream:

"After the moon hid behind the clouds, the street lights dimmed and faded."

"The crying of babies is no longer heard, and every household is in a state of panic."

"There is hell under the black robe, and the doll is making trouble in that car."

Her tunes are gentle and strange, with the innocence and playfulness of a child, yet also a kind of desperate sadness.

Gu Zhinan got goosebumps all over his body.

Look up.

The little girl cried but smiled as she handed the broken kite in her hand to the fairy in white, and then her spirit disappeared without a trace.

"She's looking for her sister."

Pei Wanyu lowered her eyes and looked at the broken kite in her hand, with a hint of sadness in her expression.

"How did the fairy know?" Gu Zhinan asked curiously.

As a hard-working and achievement-oriented person, he had explored almost all the surrounding maps in the game in his previous life, but he was unable to trigger the tasks related to this easter egg.

"I can search the soul, and this child's soul is all about his sister."

Pei Wanyu pulled the string of the kite, her expression showing determination: "I want to help this girl fulfill her wish."

"Okay! Since the fairy wants it, I will definitely help!"

Gu Zhinan clasped his fist happily.

"The kid's nursery rhyme mentioned a mine cart. There are mine carts all around here. Check them out quickly."

Fairy Pei had just given the order when she was surprised to find that the scholar was already standing next to a rusty mine cart, looking through it carefully with a shovel.

"Fairy, there are only spiritual ores in here, nothing else, and..."

Gu Zhinan said with a confident look: "I am sure that these ores were loaded on trucks at Black Tiger Mountain and transported to Jinyang Prefecture via Qingtian County."

"Why are you so sure?"

“Because of this.”

Gu Zhinan picked up a piece of high-quality glazed cloud-patterned spiritual ore from the mine cart beside him and asked, "Fairy, have you seen the words on it?"

Pei Wanyu flashed and came closer.

She looked at it for a long time before she could see clearly that at the bottom of the ore, there were two small blood-red words "Help".

"I dug this ore myself, and I also wrote the words on it."

Gu Zhinan smiled bitterly.

"I can see that you really wanted to escape at that time." Pei Wanyu said lightly.

"At that time, I was just trying to save the situation. If the fairy hadn't descended from the sky, I would have been trapped in that mine for the rest of my life." Gu Zhinan felt that the past was too unbearable to recall.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Two men wearing dark official robes and with golden swords hanging from their waists strode over.

Gu Zhinan narrowed his eyes and looked at the eight-clawed golden dragon totem on the two men’s robes, which was made of dark red and gold threads interwoven.

"Fairy, she is from the Demon Suppression Department."

The Great Xia Demon Suppression Division in the game is in charge of all matters related to the arrest, execution, and inspection of demons within the imperial territory. The headquarters is located in the imperial capital, and there are branch guards throughout the country.

The Demon-Suppressing Guards are dressed in the uniform golden dragon costume with golden-winged swords.

These two were obviously the Demon Suppression Guards from the nearby Jinyang County Demon Suppression Branch.

"I have met the two officials."

Gu Zhinan walked up to him in a friendly manner and greeted him.

"Hello, Your Excellency."

The two demon-suppressing guards also bowed to him with a seemingly friendly smile on their faces.

The reason why they were "seemingly friendly" was that the two men had pale and lifeless faces, and the smiles they forced out were extremely stiff, like wax figures.

"Sir, have you ever seen a——"

Gu Zhinan was about to ask something, but he saw the two men clasped their hands together again and smiled exactly the same way as before: "Hello, Your Excellency."

Damn, are these two AIs? "Turn around, artificial?"

Gu Zhinan said in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, the two men stopped smiling, walked right around him, and came to the middle of several mine carts.

Then, each of them pushed a mine cart full of spiritual ore, got on the wooden track next to them, and walked into the depths of the night.

During the whole process, the two had wooden expressions and there was no communication at all!

"Stupid head, did you see it?"

Fairy Pei walked with her long legs to the dazed scholar, waved her jade hand in front of the latter's eyes, and her tone was slightly playful, which she had never heard before.

"What did you see?" Gu Zhinan asked.

"These two people are dead. What controls them is a poisonous insect called "Corpse Controlling Worm" in their brains."

Pei Wanyu raised her eyebrows: "Do you remember what the Tiger King said before he died?"

Gu Zhinan understood instantly: "Yes! The surrounding Demon Suppression Division has been polluted!"

The next moment.

He figured out something! "Fairy, I understand! The "dolls in the mine carts" mentioned in the nursery rhyme by the little girl are not referring to the mine carts here, but to the mine carts that have been transported to the nearby Demon Suppression Division branch and even the Jinyang County Government!"

Fairy Pei held up her delicate white chin and said, "Your analysis is not without reason."

Gu Zhinan added: "Also, there is another line in the nursery rhyme, 'There is hell under the black robe'. This black robe is probably referring to the black and gold dragon robe of the Demon Suppression Guards!"

"The Jinyang County Demon Suppression Division is not far from here, just in the direction where the wooden tracks of the mine cart extend! We can find out if we sneak in and take a look! Maybe the little girl's sister is also there! And, if, as the fairy said, the two dead Demon Suppression Guards were controlled by poisonous insects, maybe this matter is also related to the sorcerer that the fairy wants to find!"

"Let's get going without delay!"

After Gu Zhinan finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage impatiently.

"So, why should I listen to you?"

Fairy Pei glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes, her expression noncommittal.

Gu Zhinan was embarrassed.

After a moment's thought.

He knew that this arrogant boss wanted to regain his superior presence, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Because I am the most loyal servant of the Fairy!"

With a big event on the horizon, he just didn't care and was shameless.

Under the moonlight, the female swordsman in white looked up at the night sky, her expression as indifferent as ever, with no sign of joy or anger.

but.

Gu Zhinan clearly noticed a subtle curve at the corner of her lips.

Every time this female boss shows this kind of micro-expression, it means——

Gu Zhinan jumped onto the driving seat of the carriage, stroked Lingshuang's mane, and waited for good news.

call out.

A sharp gust of wind passed by my ears.

The fairy lady who was standing on the cliff and looking at the moon a second ago has already entered the carport! Gu Zhinan flattered her wisely:

"Fairy, you are so kind to me!"

"On the road ahead, I am willing to burn everything I have to help the fairy practice!"

Hearing the scholar's hearty voice that sounded like an oath, Fairy Pei, who was about to meditate in the carport, blushed slightly.

"Humph, who wants you to help me practice? A sword slave like you who likes to be stepped on is not qualified."

"Hey, fairy, calling me a sword slave or a lowly slave all the time is too unpleasant. Why don't you change my name?"

Gu Zhinan shook his head and sighed.

"Oh? What do you want to change? Tell me." The fairy's tone seemed to contain a hint of interest.

"I think any name sounds better than Sword Slave. Why don't you call me Master Gu?"

Gu Zhinan began to test.

After experiencing the two incidents in Heihu Mountain and Qingtian County together, he could clearly feel that the relationship between this female BOSS seemed to be much closer to him.

If it were before, he would never have dared to make such a suggestion.

Right now.

In the bumpy carport, the fairy in white looked at the bright moon outside the window with a frozen expression, and she was actually thinking seriously!

At this time, Gu Zhinan used the golden light of the heart-protecting mirror on his chest to dispel the night and saw the backs of the two demon-suppressing guards clearly, wondering whether he should follow them.

The extremely unbelievable voice of the Fairy Lady came to my ears: "Listen, I am not a stubborn person."

"Since you don't like it, we can change it."

"You see, no matter how the world changes or how time passes, the tiny stars always surround the bright moon."

"From now on, I will be Haoyue and you will be under my command."

"Star slave!"

Gu Zhinan: ∑(O_O) Three o'clock in the morning.

Cicadas chirp in the quiet air, and the bamboo forest rustles.

A carriage was coming northwards, speeding along the official road that ran across the north and south. Its rolling wheels continuously hit the ground, startling countless night crows that were pecking at the carrion.

At this moment, the car window was slowly pushed open, and a face popped out from inside.

He was a man in his early thirties, with handsome features, a refined and noble temperament, and black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, looking like a young master of a prominent family.

He was coughing violently, and his already pale face looked even sicker.

"There are dead bodies everywhere along the way, and evil monsters in every mountain."

"Some people want to turn this southwestern land into a demon country, cough cough cough cough"

The young man sighed and coughed even more violently. There was a hint of blood on the handkerchief in his hand.

"Second Master, we are almost at the border of Yuezhou. How about we find an inn to rest first?"

The middle-aged coachman in front, who had a majestic appearance and noble temperament, turned around with a look of concern.

"No need. The longer we delay here, the more danger our fourth brother will face."

The young man shook his head and sighed. His handsome eyes, which had become deeply sunken due to years of illness, became more melancholy.

At this time, the voice of a fierce young woman sounded in the carriage:

"Gu Hexuan! All you do is worry about your fourth brother all day long! When will you ever pay attention to yourself? Hmm?"

"Gu Zhinan didn't listen to the elders' advice and insisted on leading that mob south! Did he ever think about the danger at that time? He's already grown up, why should we clean up his mess?"

"Ma'am, that's not what you said."

Gu Hexuan looked at the ferocious wife in front of him and said, "You have married into the Gu family, so my brother is also your brother, right? That brat is arrogant, reckless, and a bit stupid, but he has no problem with justice. He has also brought a lot of reputation to our old Gu family, which has been in seclusion for many years."

"Hmph, I get angry just talking about this! Gu Zhinan is generous and charitable, making friends with heroes and righteous men everywhere, and even sworn brothers with Shan Yao! He himself has become famous, but he is giving away our Gu family's wealth!" Madam Gu said unhappily.

"Oh, wife, stop talking so much. Your husband is going to apologize to you, okay?"

Gu Hexuan said with a shy smile: "I'm not angry anymore, I'm not angry anymore."

"Okay, just tell me straight. What exactly do you want to do by volunteering to go south from your father?" Madam Gu pouted her red lips and said coldly.

"Did the lady ask me?"

"nonsense!"

Gu Hexuan looked at the cold moon in the south, which was obviously much dimmer than that in the capital. "Madam, my third brother is gone. I just want to let my fourth brother know this time."

"No matter how big a problem he gets into, my eldest brother and I, as well as the entire Gu family, will always stand behind him."
