Chapter 288 Safe House
[Calculating the player Xu Zhiyan's personal total score. ]
[Mainline Reward Points: None]
[Branch (Quantity: 0) Reward Points: None]
[Guild mission completed]
[Reward: Skills (1/3) [Click to claim]]
【Comprehensive points reward: 8000】
Next to the broken sculpture in the square, players were standing or lying down.
I guess it’s because too much time has passed, even the personal settlement panel was sent out in advance.
Xu Zhiyan stared at it for a while, and was somewhat surprised that he actually gave a comprehensive reward of 8,000 points. He smacked his lips and exclaimed: "This is too obvious! Forget it, a mosquito leg is also meat."
He stretched out his hand to click on the skill, but it didn't work after pressing it many times.
Jin Sheng, who was lying on his back, nodded with half his eyes half closed, then turned around and said, "Brother Xu, it seems that it is not yet the settlement time, and the points have not been deposited yet."
"Hmm? Not in storage?"
Xu Zhiyan simply sat down cross-legged.
Although his clothes were a little wrinkled, they were much cleaner than those of other players who were covered in dirt and sweat.
Soon, he received a notification from the system.
[The copy is being recycled. The channel will be opened in thirty minutes. ]
[I would like to ask if any players have ever talked to the unusual system. If you provide clues, you will be given more rewards. 】
【Points Reward Hotel 8th Floor Information. 】
Consistent with prediction.
The main system came up empty-handed.
It neither found the out-of-control system or passage in the museum nor could it enter the eighth floor of the hotel.
After planning for a long time, it was all in vain in the end.
"I have the information about the eighth floor of the hotel and the abnormal system information, so how much do you want to offer?" Xu Zhiyan raised his hand without thinking.
The copy has clearly ended, but the main system is still detaining people here. It's obvious that it suspects that one of the players has betrayed them. If no information is given out, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave.
[Depending on the amount of information you provide, each message will receive a reward ranging from 10,000 to 100,000. ]
This system, which Xu Zhiyan had dealt with before, offered a fairly reasonable price.
Without waiting for the system to state any further conditions, Xu Zhiyan took out a stone-like prop from his backpack and held it tightly in his hand.
[Name: Stone of Truth]
[Level: C]
[Type: Special]
[Introduction: A special item in the mountain village dungeon, a stone with strange functions. When someone holds it and tells a lie, cracks will appear. The locals use the cracks in the stone to judge whether the speaker is sincere.]
[Notes: This is a one-time prop. If the holder tells a lie, the stone will crack and become scrapped.]
[Spiritual Threshold Limit: 20]
Xu Zhiyan was well prepared and even prepared the lie detector props himself.
"Can I start now?"
He was even more impatient than the system.
[…Okay, you can start now.]
Clearing his throat, Xu Zhiyan told everyone the information about the eighth floor of the hotel.
"The eighth floor of the hotel is an open space that looks like a bathhouse, except that the pool is filled with blood, there are many sculptures standing around, and the ceiling is covered with oil paintings..."
Once he started, he couldn't stop and described the entire eighth floor in detail. He was interrupted by the system before he could finish.
[Information value judgment: 20,000 points]
[Tip: The more words there are, the higher the information value is not necessarily true. ]
The system has no plans to rebuild the eighth floor, so why does it care what's inside.
"Okay, let me move on to the next one."
Xu Zhiyan was not annoyed and just started talking. In order to respond to the system, he spoke much more concisely.
"There's a pervert in there, the kind that doesn't like to wear clothes."
A bird-walking slice is hard to forget.
[Information value judgment: 50,000 points]
Oh my, so blood information is so valuable?
"It's probably not a human. When I talked to it, I could feel that it was... a little confused."
He speaks incoherently and seems to have no brains.
[Information value judgment: 10,000 points]
"Humans can't touch the water in the blood pool, so I couldn't go in, but the guy fished some mirrors out from the bottom of the pool."
Although he shot himself due to a mistake, it was not a big problem overall.
…
Soon, Xu Zhiyan picked and chose and explained most of the information about the eighth floor of the hotel, but did not get to the point.
The system was not satisfied yet, so it tried asking a few questions worth 100,000 points.
【Why should it help you? 】
【This question is worth 100,000 points. 】
It's not stupid either. After spending a lot of money to get fragmentary information from the greedy players in front of it, it found the key to the problem.
Xu Zhiyan touched his chin, his expression somewhat solemn.
"It's difficult for me to tell you these issues publicly, as this involves my personal privacy... Of course, if you really want to know, you have to pay extra."
He changed the subject and lowered his voice a lot.
【Double.】
The system is very pleasant.
It wanted to know what the unknown force entrenched on the eighth floor was, and even the capture was completely useless.
"make a deal!"
Xu Zhiyan expressed great satisfaction with this.
But the interaction with blood at that time was too... Oh, forget it, I'll just do it for the money.
"When I saw it, it was very arrogant and said it needed a servant. Because of this, my left leg was almost disabled. There is still a scar on my knee. You can check it out."
"later……"
"It also did, um, some pretty perverted things to my right leg, and after it was done, it helped me salvage my teammate's mirror."
The young man's voice was barely audible, and when he mentioned this passage, his tone was not as loud as before, but rather contained a hint of fear and embarrassment.
He lowered his head, revealing a section of his snow-white neck, which looked so fragile that it seemed like it would break if pinched.
Now that things have come to this, it would be rude not to pay!
Xu Zhiyan glanced at the stone in his hand and found it was intact.
After all, what blood does...it's not unfair to call it a pervert.
“After I got the mirror, I saw the world in the mirror and sent a message to my teammates.”
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan ignored the curious looks of the players around him and quickly changed the subject, as if he didn't want to recall the humiliating process.
"On the eighth floor of the museum, I had to talk my mouth off before the mirror could spit out the other players."
"Oh, by the way, the support item that was stuffed into the space where Jiang Huai Que is is the thing that has been soaking in the blood pool."
The blood has been soaking, so it's okay to say that.
The system continuously extrapolates based on the content.
On the side, Jiang Huaique, who had just woken up, happened to hear the previous questions.
He looked at Xu Zhiyan with a complicated expression.
Yu Xiu, who was sitting next to him, had already lowered his head, looking extremely guilty.
Very perverted thing...
Oh my God, it’s hard to imagine what Xu Zhiyan went through on the eighth floor in order to save them.
Looking at the young man who forced a smile and hurriedly changed the subject, the two felt hurt in their hearts. Damn, if only they were stronger.
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan was acting while talking, and he was constantly thinking about what else he could say.
He slowed down the conversation, and the system reduced the points reward because the content he received was not very ideal.
Just when thirty minutes had almost passed, a huge group of meteorites appeared in the distant sky and fell vertically towards the museum.
“Boom—”
In an instant, the museum was reduced to ruins.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
It's the clown and the astrologer!
The battle between the two people is not over yet?
However, when the smoke and dust cleared, no one appeared on the ruins.
The circus tent standing on the ruins looked very out of place, and the fluttering clown flags seemed to be mocking everyone.
The players were stunned by the turn of events.
Xu Zhiyan subconsciously looked at the time.
There are still three minutes left... There are still three minutes left before the channel will be opened as the system just said.
The square was very quiet.
After a few dozen seconds, the circus tents shrank and disappeared, and only the largest one remained.
…
Inside the twelve-layer iron cage, the weakened astrologer laid down his weapon.
She felt her consciousness slipping away.
This is not good news for the mimics.
Touching the bars of the cage, Alves tried to make his voice sound steady.
"Twelve levels of thought confinement."
"Do you need this to kill me?"
The clown stood outside the cage.
The man had a blank expression on his face, with his brows slightly furrowed. He was clearly the winner of this round of attack, but he didn't seem happy.
Alves looked at the clown's expression through the gap between the twelve layers of iron bars and laughed softly.
"This is the thing you prepared to kill the collector. Isn't it a bit of a waste to use it on me?" Her voice was full of certainty.
Feeling the cage getting smaller and smaller, the astrologer gasped and said lightly.
"It seems that I won this round."
System restrictions have been lifted.
Everything here will be broadcast live to the outside world.
Her death was not in vain!
From now on, it will become impossible for the Joker to use such props to kill the Mimic!
Alves shouted out his last words before being crushed into blood foam by the cage.
"The ideal country will eventually come true!"
"puff--"
Fresh flesh and blood was crushed.
When the restraints of the third cage fell, what flowed out of the gap was no longer blood, but a transparent liquid.
The clown stood outside the cage, his face still expressionless.
As the twelve-layer iron cage was completely tightened, the transparent liquid flowing out of the cage dried up, as if it had been evaporated completely.
“Ka——”
“Ka-ka-ka-ka”
The nested iron cages loosened, and the figure of Astrologer Alvis was no longer in sight.
…
When the departure time given by the system finally came to an end, Xu Zhiyan watched from afar as the circus tent disappeared, and the man with the clown mask on his wrist was left there.
【The exit channel is open.】
[Players please do not stay and leave as soon as possible. 】
The players who were hiding in the square like a pile of dried salted fish received the notification, retracted their gazes, and ran towards the exits in front of them without stopping.
The fights and gossips between the Joker and the Astrologer are certainly fun to watch, but you have to be careful not to get involved.
Xu Zhiyan didn't look at it again.
He always felt that some secret changes were happening among the players in the game, and he was a little worried whether this would affect his ability to make money.
A few minutes later, all the players who were lazing around in the square moved to another place and went into the rest area of the shell to lie down and relax.
In order to make himself look sociable, Xu Zhiyan did not run away.
After lying in the rest area for an hour and making sure that he could select skills at any time without having to wait until now, he said goodbye to his teammates with complicated expressions and planned to go back to count his spoils.
"Can you please stop looking at me like that?"
When everyone reached the door, Xu Zhiyan stepped back and stood in front of his three teammates.
Damn it, ever since he finished talking about the pervert on the eighth floor, several people looked at him as if he had been raped in the dungeon.
The three of them immediately looked away, not daring to look at him.
Especially the Jianghuai partridge.
He felt very guilty and thought that his teammates had encountered perverts just because they were trying to save him, so his voice was especially gentle.
"I promise that I will never let you encounter such an embarrassing thing again..."
Xu Zhiyan had no way to defend himself.
"Things are not what you think. I just said that I did it to make money from the system!" He tried to defend himself.
Suddenly, Jiang Huaique seemed to have made up his mind and rushed up to hug him.
"Don't be upset. If someone anonymously sees the live broadcast and says something bad, don't take it to heart. At worst, just break up with him!"
"???"
What is this all about? How is this related to anonymity?
Xu Zhiyan thought about it for a long time before realizing that in the eyes of his teammates, he and Anonymous had been in love for a long time...
"Things are complicated. Anyway, it's not what you think. If there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce Anonymous to you and you'll understand."
The more you talk, the more outrageous your teammates' guesses become.
Xu Zhiyan simply left a bunch of words and fled.
Help, the blood seems to be poisonous, and everything related to it has become outrageous for unknown reasons!
This time he didn't wait to go out, but went back to the safe house underground.
Damn, whenever the guy with blood was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of the last words he said.
What the hell is its name? Isn't it also called Bai Jin? Isn't it the same name as Party A? What kind of crappy request is this...
No, that's not right!
The previous □□ assumption is also outrageous!
Shit! What if Party A hears this?
The blood had such a huge impact on Xu Zhiyan that when he came to his senses, he stared at the smoke-filled safe house hall in front of him for a long time.
The safe house, which was bustling and messy in the past, has become exceptionally quiet and clean today.
Every pillar around seemed to have been washed anew.
Xu Zhiyan stood in the middle of the hall, looked around, and his eyes fell on the fireplace.
Only ghosts and gods stood there.
"Where's everyone? Why are you the only one here?"
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but walk forward before he realized anything was wrong.
He hasn't logged out of the dungeon through regular channels for a long time, and almost every time he pushed the door to the limit and was scooped up by Party A.
The dry air of the past carried an inexplicable dampness, and when one smelled it carefully, there seemed to be a faint fragrance. Xu Zhiyan felt as if he had smelled it somewhere before, but could not remember clearly.
He took two steps and then stopped.
The Party A in front of him was silent and looked a bit scary. I don’t know if it was because he was in a bad mood. Even the usually noisy stupid safe house system didn’t dare to make a sound.
The young man's action of approaching and then stopping startled the existence in front of him.
There was a subtle sound of chains colliding, and the ghost took a step forward and stretched out his hand to the young man.
"Welcome home."
There was some strange emotion suppressed in the low and elegant voice.
Xu Zhiyan didn't understand.
But this did not prevent him from feeling that Party A had returned to normal.
He breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward, and patted the ghost's hand. He had forgotten what he had originally wanted to say. He suddenly held the other's hand, his voice full of disbelief.
"Fuck! Why are you hot?"
He remembered that the client used to be like a big lump of ice, which would freeze his hands if he touched it, but now it feels warm.
"Well, blood has temperature."
He did not retract his hand, but instead stretched out his other hand, allowing Xu Zhiyan to hold his hand like a squirrel and examine it over and over again.
"Very good, the blood seems to be quite strong, the safe house may be able to upgrade many levels."
Xu Zhiyan was delighted.
He liked anything that made the safe house stronger, and considering the strength of the blood, he began to like this slice again.
Hearing the name of the clone, the ghost paused for a moment.
"It's causing you trouble."
"This guy... is weak and stupid."
Just like the provocation of the blood, He was also merciless when talking about this slice.
Xu Zhiyan smiled.
For some reason, he always felt that the ghosts and gods were quite disgusted with his clone, and they were just about to throw it away like garbage.
He tried to change the subject.
"Why does it feel a bit hot today?"
The entire safe house has become much cleaner. I don’t know who cleaned it.
The ghost lowered his eyes and answered.
"Evaporation can effectively remove some of the garbage... Do you mind the smell in the air? It may be similar to blood."
Following these words, a gap that had quietly opened in the monster room on the second floor quickly closed.
The monsters are going crazy.
They only remembered that a bright red color rushed into the room, carrying the blood of the ghost god, and just said a word in a loud voice, like a duck with its neck strangled, and was forced to be silent.
The ghosts and gods didn't even give each other a glance.
The high temperature caused the entire safe house to catch fire in an instant.
The blood that was pouring in was also evaporated into smoke.
They were sure that if Xu Zhiyan hadn't come back, the safe house would have turned into a sauna!
Thinking of the scorching steam just now, the monsters cried and huddled behind the door, not daring to go out. They had thick skin and flesh, otherwise they would have been seriously injured by the impact just now.
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan sniffed and realized belatedly that the smell in the air was the smell of a pool of blood. No wonder it seemed so familiar.
Blood was the only clone that didn't smell like ash, so it smelled a bit strange.
"Ah, it's okay."
He retracted his hand, scratched his hair and looked away. Damn it, blood had left such a deep impression on him. Now the whole room was filled with this smell. He felt as if he had returned to the blood pool again...
"It, it just speaks stupidly."
Damn it, it’s over, he thought of Blood’s last words again!
In front of you is a cold and aloof ghost like a banished immortal.
A strange feeling of being caught by the person involved emerged, and even though Xu Zhiyan was thick-skinned enough, he now dared not look at his client.
Unexpectedly, the ghosts and gods didn't seem to mind after hearing it.
In front of Xu Zhiyan, He reached out and took a pearl-sized eyeball from the other's hair, then gently crushed it, causing the eyeball to turn into a drop of blood and seep into the skin.
His voice was sincere.
"Don't let that bother you."
"We have the same name, so you can call me whoever you want."
If Blood wasn't such a shameful guy, he might not be so disgusted with this slice, after all, it's him.
After saying this, the ghost suddenly froze.
Well, I accidentally said what was in my heart.
“…”
Xu Zhiyan stood there in a daze.
Wait! Is this a question with the same name!?
