Chapter 128 Paper Town
The sudden game announcement made most of the players in the venue look up at the sky.
The meteorite rumbled, and with it, glass display cases on the ground blossomed like mushrooms after rain, popping out one after another.
The old players who were left over from the previous round are already greeting their companions in this round.
"Have you marked the location of the elevator? If you can't win this round, you'll just have to rush in the direction of the elevator in the second half. Got it?"
The bonfire game in the Paper-Zha Town is over. All players who have passed the level will be teleported directly outside the dungeon in the bonfire game venue. The only way to stay is to hide in the elevator.
But it can also be very dangerous in the elevator, otherwise there would have been players secretly staying there round after round.
"The marked location has been shared with others." A girl with a little spider on her shoulder pushed up her glasses and said, "Sister Tingting, after the maze was completed, 12% of the budget was spent."
Miao Tingting calmly took off a piece of glittering silver ornament on her head and said, "I know. The rest of the planning is up to you. Don't ask me before the budget is more than half completed. Take good care of these newcomers. I'll go get the fragments first."
After saying that, she handed the silver jewelry to the other party, then threw away the hem of her skirt with a black lining, and like a silver black lotus falling from the sky, she rushed directly into the maze of the fence wall.
The wriggling dark green plants quickly engulfed her, and outside the wall, large groups of red paper beasts were roaring and rushing towards her.
"This can also be regarded as snatching the protection of their fragments." A very confident male voice sounded.
The male student put away the drone, picked up the engineering shovel again, and gave a clear and stupid smile to his future boss who was holding a notebook.
"Don't worry, Sister Susu, Lao V and I can protect you. How can a newcomer who can be absorbed into our alliance not have the ability to protect himself?"
Yao Su held the silver ornaments in his palm, pushed up his glasses, and said rationally and indifferently: "Put the shovel back. You don't need to use your abilities for the time being. Go and help VV record the distribution of the paper beasts underground."
Sheets of white sketch paper were handed out by the girl nearby to the rest of the people on the wall. Except for a boy with "XX Power Grid" written on his clothes, who was concentrating on guarding the girl who was operating the fence, all the others were using sketch paper to quickly record the situation of the paper beasts below.
My eyes are the ruler
[Sketch paper made of the resentment of art students who have repeated their studies for 10 years, quickly combines the characteristics of a single target and summarizes them in a picture album. People with a higher degree of professional compatibility use this picture album to quickly remember everything they see, and have the super ability to quickly distinguish the appearance characteristics of anything.]
Miao Tingting left behind a dozen special consumable props so that they could take advantage of the height of the maze walls to record the characteristics of all the red and white paper beasts around them in order to find the remaining fragments later.
After all, she is an old player left over from the previous period, and she knows that not all shrine fragments are in meteorites. They may also be on other players, or on these red beasts.
The main function of the maze wall is to deal with players.
Miao Tingting quickly shuttled through the lush maze. One by one, small black poisonous insects flew out along her sleeves and skirt and became her eyes and mental tentacles, sensing the breath of various living things in the wall.
Every green leaf in the fence wall is an excellent cover for the poisonous insects to hide, and those seemingly gentle and harmless plants are just hiding their sharp edges.
Miao Tingting's eyes turned red again, and after a moment she finally turned her head to look in a certain direction.
Found it.
Compared to Miao Tingting who was taken care of by her family, the others clearly felt special treatment after entering the wall.
Yu Xin had already taken back her own horse with a heartache. This fence was very strange. The leaves were like knives. After they came in, they began to attack the big horse underneath them. The louder the noise, the stronger the reaction of the plants. It would be very difficult to break through after they got in.
The number of horses that can be summoned by the Wrangler skill is limited, and each horse needs to be recalled after being injured. It will take a long time for it to come out and move again under the nourishment of her ability.
After Chu Wen suggested putting away the mounts, the responsiveness of the hedge vegetation actually weakened.
"It may be based on the sound, or the heat or something like that, it locked onto us. Everyone, please spread out a little bit, don't gather together, and everyone hold your ice and snow props."
Although they are called ice and snow props, they are actually derivatives of Xiangxiang's abilities. In a glass bottle held in everyone's hand, there are light blue ice crystals that are slowly rotating.
[Pine snowflake special fragrance]
[Perfumers have the most magical scent magic in the world. Through smell, they can awaken every special reaction deep in your memory. The aroma of food can dilute your hunger. The aroma of flowers can make you bathe in that afternoon again and enjoy the joy of flowers. The aroma of snowflakes can naturally make people feel cold, but also more awake and alert.]
[Currently remaining usage time is 9 minutes and 9 seconds]
The girls' abilities and offensive capabilities are not particularly strong, but they have long been supporting each other, and almost everyone carries a special derivative of each other's abilities. Even if they are now scattered in the maze, at least they can still take care of each other.
But this is also what Chu Wen is most worried about.
"Since this thing is a maze, they will definitely find a way to separate us. If, and I mean if, we encounter something that cannot be solved, if the other party is a player, then hand over the fragments and save your life."
Their biggest wish when they entered this dungeon was to get rid of that scumbag. Now that their wish has been fulfilled, it would be great to have some extra gains, but because Xiao Xia was accidentally injured, they are not so obsessed with the shrine fragments now.
The injured Xiao Xia, who had been carried on the butcher's back before, could now barely walk on her own, but she felt a little dizzy and held her forehead. She was the most silent among the crowd, not because of her injury, but because the information she had obtained from the butcher when she used her ability before was too shocking.
Chu Wen held a syringe filled with medicine in her hand and frowned as she watched Xiao Xia looking back from time to time: "Is that guy still following us?"
Xiao Xia hummed in a hoarse voice, one hand tightly clutching her trouser pocket, inside which was a note with what she had written earlier.
"Your wounds haven't fully healed yet, so don't use your bird's sense of smell and hearing."
Chu Wen patted her back, and a faint green flashed by, helping her recover.
"No, that guy is very special, Sister Chu Wen, I, I have seen someone similar to him before."
Xiao Xia didn't specify what kind of person it was, but rather kept recalling what she had seen before, vaguely saying, "Sister Chu Wen, I've been in the game longer than you have. I've been to many dungeons, and I know that many players went crazy while trying to find their way home. I've also heard a lot of strange legends."
"Most of the speculations about returning home were lies, or they were scams waiting for others to find the way for them. But this one is the first one I know of that actually exists."
Yu Xin and A Xiang, who were exploring the way ahead, gradually slowed down their pace, waiting for Xiao Xia, who had been silently sorting out her thoughts, to give her the final conclusion.
The girl's eyes, which had been damaged due to the use of special observation abilities, slowly opened. There were some physiological tears in them, and they were still blurry, but Xiao Xia's eyes were much firmer.
"This game has a special resurrection mechanism. Dead players can return to the player camp as long as they play a special game."
"That butcher must have performed some special role-playing mission and was resurrected after completing it."
The moment she finished speaking, a ding sound was heard in the ears of several girls around her.
It seemed that a special system notification was received at the same time.
Xiao Xia also looked a little surprised. At the same time, just after she finished saying this, the vegetation on the fence wall gradually emitted a faint green light.
The bright green leaves suddenly grew lush, and in a trance one could even hear the noisy chirping of insects among the vines, a sound unique to summer nights.
Chu Wen immediately called away several teammates who were still in a daze.
"The bugs are coming! Defend!"
Ah Xiang, whose reaction was second only to hers, also shouted, "Use the red bottle!"
A large number of densely packed swarms of insects, like black smoke, emerged directly from under the green leaves. Just as the swarms approached their target, they were isolated from the girls by sections of red smoke.
The red smoke, which was pungent and spicy but also mixed with a hint of cool mint, turned into a physical barrier that directly blocked the initial swarm of insects.
Amid the jingling sound of silver jewelry, a girl whose pupils were almost purple jumped down from the fence.
"It's useless. This scent barrier can only block black beetles at best. You can't even see some of these beetles."
Miao Tingting walked towards them slowly, step by step, without haste.
Chu Wen put one hand in front of Xiao Xia, with a vigilant expression: "Does your team want the shrine fragment? We can trade, but there is only one request, don't hurt our teammates."
If it were any other player, Chu Wen might have planned to use props and the abilities of her teammates to deal with the opponent, but the people in front of her were obviously different. She had heard that as the Infinite Highway progressed, some people's skills would become more and more special. Some players could even change the original terrain of the dungeon and change everything. What's more, some even had special abilities to intervene in the rules of the dungeon.
These people may be the ones right now.
Everyone in the town may have been holding back in the past few days, but now it’s time for the bonfire party. The weak are in danger, and it’s time for the strong to flex their muscles.
This maze is a great display cage.
The girl in ethnic costume smiled and said, "If you are willing to hand over the fragments, that would be great, but I have other requirements."
If it were before, Miao Tingting's only goal was the shrine. If she met a good seedling, she wouldn't mind taking him into the guild. There were also corresponding purposes for building the maze. It was not to encircle these small shrimps that they spent huge amounts of soul coins to build such a big thing.
"Are you interested in talking about the resurrection game mission you just mentioned in detail?"
She moved her fingers, and saw a huge gap appear in the fence wall, and a large cocoon densely wrapped in black insects was pushed out.
That was the prototype of the butcher who had been chasing the girls before, the guy in the diving suit at the back.
Miao Tingting chased the man first, subdued him and packed him up, then slowly came over to chase the female players.
She had a playful look on her face, as if she had already known this person's origins for a long time, and all she lacked was the last bit of substantial evidence.
Qiao Song, who had not participated in the battle here, finally got the key inside the fence.
For some reason, she was ignored by the builders of the fence wall. Perhaps with the blessing of the shrine, she successfully took out a prop that Gao Chengcheng had given her after using it before.
【Walls have ears=】
The original intention was to listen for the movement of the location, but it turned out to be a small ear specially used for eavesdropping on intelligence. In this way, Qiao Song learned about the resurrection mission and the fake occupation of the resurrection.
It seems that the four butchers may not be real butchers. Their tasks, identities, and occupations may all be given by the system.
Judging from his appearance, one could even guess that guy is a diver.
His mind floated to the other side of the wall, while Qiao Song, whose real body was still on the back of the dinosaur, gathered his thoughts, suddenly opened his eyes, and patted Xiao Ni who was running happily in Tianhuo Square.
Their target is also the gathering place of players. They are about to reach another place where a fight has taken place. According to information from other people in the group, there are butchers there as well.
There are many crazy red paper beasts around, but it is not difficult to defend against them as long as the player spends a lot of money and uses the goods sold in the counter, or the puppets made by himself. Xiao Ni, who was ready to have a big fight with the paper beasts, suddenly heard her sister Qiao Song asked a strange question.
"Xiao Ni, do you still remember when we met at the convenience store? You were forced by that water ghost to go into the store to get canned food. Besides the water ghost boss, were there any other voices urging you to complete the task?"
"ah?"
Xiao Ni was running when his mind suddenly went blank.
That was a long time ago. At that time, he was forced to become a thief. He was a helpless kid with some special abilities but was bullied.
When Xiao Ni thinks back on this memory now, his mind suddenly feels a little confused.
What happened at that time?
The pace of the dinosaur paper man gradually slowed down, and Qiao Song did not urge him. She was also guessing various possibilities.
This was also a question that she had forgotten for a long time, just like she had forgotten that there was a fourth player in Cyber Village because she had not taken the initiative to investigate. Qiao Song seemed to have always overlooked that in the convenience store, in the initial copy, Xiao Ni was the water ghost thief written into the rules.
A ghost in the convenience store rules, a ghost with a special identity.
What she actually wanted to verify was whether Xiao Ni's identity as a thief was really forced by the water ghost boss, or whether it was also given by the system?
Was he once a player?
