Chapter 79 Hell Community
What is it like for humans and ghosts to live in the same apartment?
Qiao Song didn't expect that there was such a big ghost living in the VIP suite of the Tongue-Pulling Apartment.
The drunkard hooked his wine-red curly hair, leaned against the door, looked at the two of them, and then grinned: "The little girl didn't lie to me, she really has a very powerful companion."
The female ghost waved her hand and let them come in first.
Qiao Song rarely saw this kind of ghost.
It holds no ill will towards human players, nor does it look at them as if they were food.
It can even be said that in the entire hell community, it is rare to see ghosts that seem to be just here for vacation.
"You can call me Yan Shi, or just call me a drunkard like the others." Yan Shi walked leisurely to the table, picked up a glass of amber wine, and took a deep sniff of the aroma of the wine.
Qiao Song's expression changed slightly, and she found that there seemed to be something soaked in the glass of wine.
If you look closely, it looks like a struggling but crushed ghost face.
Are the ingredients of the wine that ghosts drink so hardcore?
Yan Shi seemed very satisfied with the wine, and pointed the empty glass at the only man in the room: "Great cartoonist, what you brought this time is not bad. Although the age is not enough, the quantity is enough to make up for the difference."
Next to the chair where Tukang was sitting, there were two boxes, which seemed to be full of wine.
"Please forgive me." Tu Kang put down his wine glass and spread his hands, feeling helpless.
"I'm no longer a player. It's a great achievement for me to go down and get these for you tonight. But there are a few real players here now. You can talk to them."
This is also the reason why Tang Xiaoxiao brought Qiao Song here.
When she visited the apartment, she learned through some "friendly" communication methods from some players and ghosts in the apartment that there were several powerful ghosts living on the top floor.
Since Yan Shi moved into the first floor, she has been spreading the word that she wants to buy the execution equipment from the players, or find some force-type players who are good at fighting ghosts to help her collect wine.
"I was in the elevator earlier and saw a girl using a workbook to have a 'friendly conversation' with a customer. I asked her if she was interested in doing business with me. After all, I know much more information than the guy she caught and led. But she said she had a more powerful companion and wanted to ask for his opinion."
Yan Shi's eyes gradually turned red, and she looked at Qiao Song's disguised wrist without any concealment: "I didn't expect that what she said was true."
The two vague numbers almost made her think she had seen it wrong.
Except for some special existences, Yan Shi had never seen such outrageous values among the players in the Hell Community.
But the alcoholic is confident in his abilities.
[Top wine connoisseur’s tips for buying wine in supermarkets]
[A bottled soul is always extra fragrant. A qualified alcoholic, even if he is not conscious, can at least distinguish the label on the bottle. Every time he distinguishes, it will meet the needs of the current environment. After all, in the beverage cabinet in the supermarket, you can only look at the shelf life of Coke, right? ]
In hell, the player’s ability labels are naturally the two numbers in their hands.
Although the red and white values, that is, the morality value and the sin value, cannot fully reflect the strength of the players, those high-level players who are ruthless and cruel rarely live in the first few floors, which means that Yan Shi can not find many trading partners.
Qiao Song also understood that the other party had seen through her disguise, and immediately became quite interested in the abilities of this drunkard.
She now looked at Tukang next to her.
"First of all, I have a question. Do the ghosts on your Infinite Highway have the same career system as the players?"
Yan Shi was suddenly a little surprised, and looked her and Tang Xiaoxiao up and down: "I thought players like you should have known this kind of news a long time ago."
After all, some common sense about ghosts is not a secret. As long as capable players stay in the game long enough, they will know it sooner or later.
Qiao Song would ask this, which can only mean that -
Tu Kang, who was just a spectator, couldn't help but sit up straighter: "Are you still a new player?"
Gao Chengcheng and Qiao Song mentioned that those who have completed less than 10 copies are considered newcomers.
Qiao Song nodded, and was a little surprised that the cartoonist was here: "If I remember correctly, the security team has to change shifts in an hour, right? Drinking all night won't affect the day shift?"
Tu Kang immediately waved his hands and said, "People like us who have just become NPCs are all on day shifts, which is much easier than night shifts. We just need to block some players who don't follow the rules at the door, and we can take a break anytime."
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, immediately looked at him with a look that said, "Is this how adults go to work?"
Yan Shi burst into laughter: "If this guy didn't like to slack off, he wouldn't have chosen to be an NPC. He should have taken the initiative to confess to you that he used to be a human player, right?"
This guy Tu Kang can barely play the role of a qualified security guard at work, but he lets himself go after get off work. Yan Shi and him are old partners, so he knows each other's character very well.
"Players who choose to transform into NPCs through some special channels will naturally carry a career system, such as him—" Yan Shi pointed the goblet at the man opposite him, and then shook the rim of the goblet, "such as me."
This sentence contains enough information.
Qiao Song thought for a moment and finally found a seat to sit down, which meant he was ready to discuss cooperation.
Yan Shi took the initiative to reveal this information, which already showed the sincerity of this drunkard.
The drunkard in a bathrobe immediately put down his glass, crossed his hands and looked at Qiao Song with great pleasure: "What I want is very simple, one is the execution props of certain levels of hell, and the other is the bottled evil spirits."
"Of course, the one at the back is just an extra. The main thing is the execution prop at the front. Only by getting that thing can I leave this damn place sooner. After all, being tortured is really painful, and it is not pleasant to have your soul torn apart."
Qiao Song nodded: "Which levels of props do you need?"
The drunkard coughed lightly, seeming a little embarrassed: "All digital buildings after the 9th floor are required."
Qiao Song's expression suddenly became a little unfriendly.
She knows what the eighteen levels of hell are about.
Once these numbers are engraved on the evil ghost, it means that the corresponding crime has been committed. If this drunkard has committed all the crimes after the 9th level, then she will reconsider whether to cooperate with him.
Yan Shi saw the baton on her waist and continued hurriedly:
"Don't worry, I just like drinking. I'm not a bad person."
She rolled up the sleeves of her bathrobe, revealing the numbers scratched all over it.
"Special ghosts like us, once captured by the Hell Community, will have 18 numbers appear on their bodies at once. This is a restriction that Hell places on us. Otherwise, if those guys come here, they will tear the dungeon to pieces."
Qiao Song could see the numbers wrapped around the drunkard, connected by a thread, like a lock that locked up her entire body.
Is this the treatment given to bosses of higher levels in other dungeons after they fall into hell?
Wait, doesn’t that mean that the display screen in the convenience store also has 18 numbers engraved on it at once?
No wonder we saw some little devils being held hostage to snatch the execution equipment.
I don't know if I can tear that guy's white gloves, but it would be best if I could slap the number on his forehead.
Seeing that Qiao Song didn't react much to her requests, Yan Shi continued:
"The reward I can give you is relatively simple. You can ask me questions about the Infinite Highway. I can tell you as much as possible without violating the confidentiality agreement. Although I can only drink to survive in Hell, I still have some rights in other dungeons. Alternatively, you can ask me to help you buy some props or something like that."
Qiao Song is not as eager for props now, nor is he that short of money.
"What I need most is intelligence."
Yan Shi nodded: "Okay, then as a sign of sincerity for cooperation, you can ask me a question first. Let me make it clear first, I know that you players are obsessed with finding the door to go home. If you want to ask me directly where that door is, I can't answer this question."
Qiao Song thought for a moment and said, "Can the map hidden in the Hell dungeon help me find the door?"
This is also the biggest reason why she came to this copy.
Yan Shi picked up a wine bottle next to him.
[A drunkard who talks nonsense sometimes tells the truth]
[The drunker you are, the more accurate your ability will be. Of course, for an alcoholic who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, using this ability requires a little bit of external help. Otherwise, you'll have to drink for three days and three nights to ensure that your efforts will take effect.]
Tu Kang, who had been watching the show from the side, saw Yan Shi hook his finger at him and complained, "I knew it. You proposed this deal to her just because I was here. Security salaries are already low, and I won't let you take advantage of me for nothing. You have to pay me more later."
Tu Kang, who worked late into the night and double shifts every day, stared at the dark circles under his eyes and took out a comic book and a feather pen.
[The skylight is a disaster for cartoonists! ]
What should I do if my serialized comics always want to stop updating? At this time, I can take out some old drafts, quickly revise them, pretend that they are extra chapters or special issues, and wait for a month.
Of course, if you draw your old friend into the backup comic, you can also modify the other party's current status to a certain extent, provided that the other party agrees. 】
Tu Kang picked up the feather pen and in a few seconds quickly drew a cartoon character whose outline was very similar to Yan Shi, and drew a status "Drunk" on her head.
The drunkard switched to a drunken state and immediately crushed the bottle in his hand.
After the wine bottle shattered, the liquid still maintained the shape of the bottle, flew around Qiao Song twice, and finally turned into a red bead and hovered back at the drunkard's fingertips.
"Wow, the probability of seeing something so strange for the first time is fifty-fifty." Yan Shi, with two blushing spots on his face, leaned lazily on the back of the chair and pointed at Qiao Song with his fingertips in the air.
"Let me make it clear first, divination when drunk may not always count. You can get the map, and going home is easy for a guy like you. You may be able to go home by just opening the car door one day. But it is not certain for your companions. Your choice will determine their... well..."
The drunkard, who had just finished the second half of the sentence, suddenly leaned back on the sofa and vomited.
This scared Tu Kang who was standing next to him.
"Damn it, are you kidding me? I've never seen you react so strongly when I used this ability before!"
He lifted one of his feet to prevent being splashed by the rainbow vomit, and at the same time quickly used a feather pen to cross out the drunken buff on the comic book. Yan Shi suddenly sobered up from his drunken state.
"Eh? Is my drunken reaction so obvious today?" Yan Shi picked up the napkin next to him and wiped his mouth.
Tukang was now several meters away from her: "I don't care, you have to give me three times the money and pay for the wine as well!"
The two guys in the room began to settle the bill noisily. Qiao Song looked at the time and prepared to pull Tang Xiaoxiao away first.
Yan Shi covered his mouth and handed her a small string of mini wine bottle bracelets with a buzzing sound.
"This is for wine. I will give you extra compensation based on the quality of the ghosts in the bottle."
You’d be a bastard if you don’t make money. Qiao Song put the bracelet away and left 601.
Tang Xiaoxiao held the notebook in her hand and said, "Sister Qiao Song, there are other rooms, but the ghosts there don't seem to be as powerful as this one. Should we still go?"
Qiao Song shook his head: "This one partner is enough."
Although the drunkard didn't finish the second half of his sentence, the previous part at least showed that Qiao Song could indeed get the map he wanted in the Hell Community.
Now there has been an accident on the 4th floor, and it is not known whether it will be opened tomorrow night. She did not find any map hidden in the dungeon when she passed it. Now the boss has been scared away, and it is probably difficult to get information about the map.
Fortunately, there is a store in the community that sells goods to the public, an archaeological and cultural creative store near the Crucifixion Hell.
That's the fifteenth floor.
"The further down we go, the more difficult the dungeon game will be. We don't need to go directly to the 15th floor. I have already checked in at four stores today. Let's go out together tomorrow."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly. Although she only checked in at two stores today and stayed in the apartment to collect information, Tang Xiaoxiao did not apply for a job here. She was following the tourist mode. To pass the entire Hell copy, she only needed to check in at nine stores.
It was not yet time for the shift change, so when Qiao Song took the elevator down, he simply went to their room with Tang Xiaoxiao.
It was originally an ordinary standard room, but the fat security guard seemed to have upgraded their room to a double deluxe suite.
There were several pieces of paper spread out on the coffee table in the living room, on which were drawn the floor plan of the entire apartment surveyed by Tang Xiaoxiao, as well as the distribution of ghosts that he had identified.
"Well done, you even managed to draw this."
Qiao Song was amazed and sat on the sofa to observe the papers.
Tang Xiaoxiao touched the back of his head and laughed, "I can't always fight with only books. It would be a waste if I don't use all the knowledge in my head. By the way, Sister Qiao Song, I found that although there are not many players living in Tongue Pulling Apartment, they seem to be very powerful."
As she rode the elevator around, she felt a few guys staring at her.
"But they seem to seldom leave their rooms. They stay inside most of the time, and I don't know what they are doing."
Tang Xiaoxiao circled several red rooms in the Tongue Pulling Apartment with a pen: "There aren't a lot of ghosts, but their strengths vary. There are some very powerful ones, like the drunkard lady just now, and some very bad ones, who don't even have tongues, but they just keep paying to live in the apartment."
Compared with the other floors of hell, the first floor is the safest, both for ghosts and humans.
Qiao Song discovered that the location of the new suite Uncle Liu had given them was also very subtle. It happened to be at the outermost edge of the range of players and ghosts that Tang Xiaoxiao had marked as needing more attention.
The ghosts paid to live in the apartment and were not in a hurry to leave because they had no way to leave and they needed to eliminate the numbers on their bodies.
Then why don’t these players seem to be in a hurry?
Tang Xiaoxiao was only responsible for collecting intelligence and didn't know the specific reasons.
Qiao Song quickly spun the pen in his hand and asked, "Did the information you got earlier about the master of hell having problems also come from these ghosts?"
"Well, that's what Uncle Tukang said."
When Tang Xiaoxiao said this, she suddenly remembered: "It seems that he not only has a good relationship with the drunk lady, but also has a good relationship with other ghosts in the apartment. At that time, I ran into him in the elevator holding two baskets of wine and chatting with another ghost. I pressed the button for him, and I heard him talking about this with the ghost."
Without Qiao Song's reminder, Tang Xiaoxiao also understood that the other party did it on purpose.
"He told us to leave this instance as soon as possible. The master of hell is not right. This place will soon become a mess."
However, according to Tu Kang, they are now cooperating with the drunkard to collect the corresponding props and directly check in level by level. At their speed, another three or four days will basically meet the minimum requirements for passing the level.
But Qiao Song applied for a security guard position, so he had to stay there for a sufficient period of time, otherwise he would not be able to leave the Hell copy even after clocking in.
"And Sister Qiao Song, Xiao Ni contacted me today!"
Tang Xiaoxiao took out a mirror, which was the never-damaged rearview mirror that she had bought from the owner of the Mole Shop.
"But the signal is not very good. It seems that only a few words can be transmitted at certain times every day."
This is already shocking enough. You have to know that in the Infinite Highway world, the mobile phones used by players to communicate with each other cannot be used across copies.
Qiao Song asked: "Has his ability evolved?"
"Well, he said that Hei Dou and the others were hatched, but what broke out of the shell was not a dinosaur, but a bunch of dinosaur toys."
Can said that some creatures that players take away from the dungeon by their own strength will return to their most essential appearance after leaving the dungeon.
In other words, Hei Dou and the others might have been toys at the beginning, but with the blessing of the power of the copy, they turned into the appearance of the Jurassic forest.
But this is understandable. After all, based on Qiao Song’s experience at the terminal, the entire hearse entertainment copy is a huge board game, and the games in each small copy are part of the toy house.
"Xiao Ni said that we should clear this instance as quickly as possible. For some reason, a lot of cars have come to the Hell Community. Now the parking lot in the area where he is is almost full."
Qiao Song was really confused now. Wasn't the Hell Community dungeon said to be of medium difficulty but not particularly popular among players?
Suddenly realizing something, she took out the props she got from Lin Xuan.
[The user you dialed is currently on the phone]
[A total of 13 harassing calls have been blocked for you]
Wow, if I remember correctly, she got this item from Lin Xuan in the third level of the Iron Tree Hell. That is to say, before the item took effect, there might be something else that used the tracking item to find her.
Are those guys who left Hearse Entertainment finally realizing it?
Qiao Song sat upright and immediately took out the resting mud ghost from his net bag.
"Tang Xiaoxiao, we have to wear masks for the next few days. There may be a group of old acquaintances coming."
It can even be said that he has come. Isn't that how the magician got in? I don't know where he hid after the big change on the 4th floor.
You Yitong now seriously doubts whether the doom gold coin he used at the beginning was a fake. Otherwise, how to explain why Qiao Song did not suffer bad luck, but he was the one who suffered bad luck instead.
After using the escape seat, he successfully escaped from the terrifying creature, but inexplicably ended up in a place full of ghosts.
It’s not like he had not been to the Hell Community before, but at that time, there was no Hell Square at the bottom.
Transparent silk threads emerged from the fingertips of the white gloves and tightly entangled the evil ghost in front of him.
"I'll ask one last time, when did the Avici Hell appear, and when did it have a master?"
The little ghost he caught was just an ordinary ghost who had fallen into the Hell Community for a few months and had been struggling here. He usually leaned outside the door to guard against some humans who were punished for failing in the game. He had never seen such a lively and full-blooded high-level player who appeared inexplicably.
"I, I, I don't know either. From what I heard from them, it seems that the owner of the Hell Community appeared a few years ago. But there seems to be something wrong with his brain. He often disappears. It seems that his only interest is..."
The white gloves exerted a little force, and the transparent silk thread made the ghost feel that his soul was almost torn apart.
"explain."
The ghost stumbled for a moment and answered in a very strange tone: "My only interest is to go to the different 18 levels of hell and enjoy the punishment there. But I don't know if this news is true. What ghost would voluntarily go to hell to wait for judgment?"
The transparent silk thread suddenly exerted force, breaking the ghost into blood, and then absorbed the consumption of the replenishment props.
Of course the magician knew that a ghost would do this. When he was leaving in the escape chair, he saw the guy released by Qiao Song take the initiative to get into the mirror. If the mirrors had not been shattered because they could not withstand the opponent's power, that thing might have really entered the mirror hell.
That guy's life level is indeed above that of the man in red.
Most of the rumors circulating among these ghosts are actually true.
All the unpleasantness he had experienced before was finally suppressed. You Yitong looked at the square full of ghosts again and finally smiled.
“It turns out this place is just like Hearse Entertainment.”
Only a dungeon boss with incomplete permissions will experience this strange state.
But unlike Hearse Entertainment, there are currently no head-shaped alien monsters in this hell that can be sponsors or even shareholders.
The magician pulled out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket. Judging from the pointer on it, his teammates should have arrived outside the copy.
"I hope it's not too late, before the other guilds react."
The author has something to say:
At this time, Boss Cai in another area of the Infernal Hell:?
This instance will have a lot of dog-eat-dog plots
