Zeus was very resentful. Looking at the little octopus that followed Zhou Zhou back again, he almost wanted to make it into octopus balls and eat it. If this octopus hadn't insisted on following Zhou Zhou, now there would be only him and Zhou Zhou at home.
Zhou Zhou bought a fish tank on the way back, and after coming in, he cleaned the tank for the little octopus.
For the first two days, the little octopus lived in the bucket at night. Now that the bucket has been returned to the captain, the little octopus also wants to live with him, so I bought a fish tank for it.
Looking at Zhou Zhou busy cleaning the fish tank and changing the water for the little octopus, Zeus was furious, but he couldn't show it in front of Zhou Zhou. He lay on the sofa angrily and pretended to be asleep, but his consciousness returned to a room somewhere under the Imperial Palace.
"Hmph!" Zeus appeared here, and he felt a heart attack when he thought of the smug look of the little octopus.
This is a palace somewhere under the imperial palace. It is a secret passage built by the previous emperor underground in order to prevent anyone from assassinating him. However, it was never used once after it was built.
Few people knew about this place, and it was just right for the "seriously injured" Elvia to hide here.
The interior of the underground palace is magnificent, no different from the palace above. Elvia has never cared about these things and has never made any changes. It has always been placed like this, and this is the first time it has been used.
I don't know what kind of paint was used on the walls, but it gives off a faint fragrance that has not dissipated even after many years. The palace did not have the gloom and corruption of the underground. If it were not for the lack of windows, it would look no different from the palace on the ground.
Elvia was sitting in a chair reading a book leisurely. The pictures and videos of yesterday's assassination had already spread from the capital star. He was seriously injured and his condition was unknown.
This assassination attempt was just a test by the other party. He rarely appeared in public, and these people wanted to use this assassination to investigate his condition. After all, it was rumored that he was seriously wounded on the battlefield, which led to a decline in his mental strength. Those people probably just wanted to find out the truth.
Fortunately, he was able to use their own tricks to let them see with their own eyes that his mental strength had indeed decreased, so that it would be convenient for them to take action when the National Celebration Ceremony came.
So he needs to stay here for the next few days.
Zeus knew everything that happened yesterday. Elvia had already made arrangements in the palace. He knew who was behind those people, how they entered, and how they approached Elvia. Every step was within their plan. It would be useless for Zeus to go out.
Looking at Alvia reading leisurely, Zeus suddenly felt much more balanced.
Don't think that Elvia is planning and strategizing outside, every step is calculated to perfection. In fact, he had never even been to Zhou Zhou's house. He was not as good as him. At least he had already lived in Zhou Zhou's house and could continue to live there in the future.
Zeus' mood changed quickly. Thinking of this, he felt that the little octopus was nothing. After all, it was just a small pet, and Zhou Zhou must have liked him the most.
"Alvia, are you healed?" Zeus was relaxed and asked knowingly.
Alvia turned a page of the book and did not respond.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Zeus, who was used to talking to himself, said proudly: "Guess where I live now? You can't guess, I'm at Zhou Zhou's house now, he invited me to live with him."
This sentence really succeeded in attracting Elvia's attention. Zeus suddenly became even more proud. If he had a tail behind him, he would probably be able to fly up to the sky.
Alvia looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then her gaze returned to the book. It seemed that she was just thinking about the questions in the book, so she turned her head away.
"You can only stay here now. It's so boring. You have to stay for a few more days. I am different. I can stay with Zhou Zhou."
"Has he logged off since he entered the game?" Elvia suddenly asked.
Zeus, who was still in Versailles, was suddenly interrupted: "No."
Zhou Zhou has never logged off since he came online. Although this situation is rare, it does happen. After all, the game has just been launched, and many players want to accumulate points, so they will stay in the game. There is a special machine in the holographic device that delivers nutrients, which will be injected into the human body on time, allowing the human body to stay in the holographic device for a month without interruption.
Many holographic devices now have this function, but relatively few people use it, and it can only last for a month at most.
After all, the human body still needs other trace elements and daily exercise, otherwise the muscles will atrophy.
Zhou Zhou has only been here for a few days, so there won't be any health problems, and it won't arouse suspicion if he doesn't log off.
Alvia nodded and said nothing more. He thought for a moment, put down the book, stood up from the chair, and walked to another part of the palace to open the door of the dark room.
Although this looks like just a palace, there are actually several very hidden small rooms. Even if someone searches here, it will be impossible to find all the hiding places in a short time.
Zeus had never been here before because all signals were blocked here, but not long ago Elvia connected all the signals, so Zeus was able to appear here. He watched Elvia leave and hurriedly followed.
I found that when he pressed a few buttons somewhere, a door appeared in front of him. I couldn't help but be speechless. The previous emperor was really afraid of death, so why were there dark rooms everywhere?
He stretched his head to see what was inside, but found only a holographic device.
Zeus: "...You took the holographic device down?"
Alvia turned on the holographic device and looked at Zeus calmly: "Didn't you say that I was bored staying here? It's a good opportunity to go online and do some dungeons."
He could easily guess who he was going to find to do a copy with his toes. When he and Zhou Zhou entered the copy, he couldn't go in and could only stare outside and wait for them to come out. Zeus looked at Elvia's calm face and felt that he saw a hint of mockery in it.
Don't you like to show off? He brought people into the dungeon, what are you still showing off for?
"No! No, no." Zeus wanted to stop Elvia. He and Zhou Zhou had only been together for less than two days, so how could they be separated?
The hand that tried to stop Alvia passed through his body. After all, Zeus had no physical body, so it was impossible for him to stop him.
Seeing that Elvia came online, he hurried to Zhou Zhou's house.
"Zhou Zhou!" Zeus jumped three feet high from the sofa and looked at Zhou Zhou and the little octopus staring at him in surprise.
Zhou Zhou was wondering what happened to Zeus. Why did it feel like he was having a nightmare? The little octopus was surprised that this guy jumped so high.
"Are you okay? What happened?" The next moment after Zhou Zhou asked, Elvia's message came.
As the system master of Nightmare City, Zeus knew what message he had sent, but even he could not interfere with some of the rules. He could only watch Zhou Zhou read the information.
Zhou Zhou received a message from Elvia, asking him when he would go to do the copy.
This was the first time he hadn't done a dungeon for two days. Before that he had done almost one dungeon a day, and the most he had done was even two dungeons a day.
In the past two days, apart from returning the captain's things and dealing with the little whale, he did not send any invitation messages to other people. Everyone seemed to be busy and had not sent any messages to him.
He didn't know whether he would be resurrected after dying in the dungeon, so he had been avoiding doing the dungeon for the past two days.
I always think that I'm very busy these days, so I'll deal with the dungeon later.
In fact, he can't delay any longer. He has used most of his points to buy a house, and there are not many left. In Nightmare City, no matter what you do, you need points, and just delaying like this won't do.
Besides, he still has the little whale and the little octopus to raise. As for whether he can be resurrected after dying in the copy, he will have to wait until he really dies to find out. He can't just stand still because of fear.
After agreeing on a meeting place with Elvia, Zhou Zhou prepared to go out.
The little octopus’s fish tank has also been cleaned up, so the little whale and the little octopus can keep each other company.
"You two stay home and be nice. I'm going to do a dungeon and I'll probably be back in the evening." Zhou Zhou assured them.
Naturally, the little octopus didn't want to stay here with Zeus, and wanted to climb onto Zhou Zhou's shoulders as usual, but halfway through, Zhou Zhou put it into a big fish tank.
"Zhou Zhou, could you please not go? I'm scared to go alone." Zeus blinked his eyes, trying to act cute and get Zhou Zhou to stay.
Zhou Zhou touched his head and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid. If you are afraid, talk to the little octopus. I will be back soon."
Zeus: “…” He wanted to talk to Zhou Zhou, not an octopus.
Although Zhou Zhou was confused about the situation sometimes, he was very sensitive to emotions and could sense that Zeus was not afraid and probably just wanted to go with him. However, his current identity and appearance could not be known to others, so he could only stay at home for now.
Seeing that he could not convince Zhou Zhou, Zeus, who had finally moved in, did not want to make a scene and make Zhou Zhou angry, so he could only watch Zhou Zhou leave.
After Zhou Zhou walked out of the door, he sat on the sofa with a worried look on his face: "People, if they have weaknesses, they will think twice before doing anything."
If it was Alvia in front of him, he would have probably thrown a tantrum, although Alvia would just pretend not to see it and ignore him. But here in Zhou Zhou, he just wanted to show his best side, and there was no way he would do something that would ruin his image by throwing a tantrum.
The little octopus was in the fish tank, looking at the pretentious Zeus, and climbed up to the edge of the tank and pouted at him several times. This time, it finally succeeded in poking red ink on him.
Zeus: "...You are dead."
Shirley and Keli went to work, and Heya has not been online yet. It is estimated that he has not finished the previous things yet. Qian Le and Eddie started school early and cannot be online now, so only he and Al are doing the dungeon this time.
"Let's go." After seeing Elvia, Zhou Zhou thought about going to do the copy quickly. After all, there were people at home now, so he had to go back early.
Elvia nodded, waiting for Zhou Zhou to team up the two of them and then draw the copy.
Zhou Zhou still chose the black star copy. After all, these copies did have high points. He looked at the forum last night and found that the settlement points of most copies were basically between a few hundred and ten thousand or twenty thousand. Some of the more difficult copies had higher points.
But some people’s points would suddenly increase to tens of thousands. He guessed that these copies were designed by real people, so the points would be higher.
The next moment, both of them received the location of the copy mission on their task panels.
No. 128 Xuanle Street.
It was another place they had never been to, but the Nightmare City was indeed very large, and the places they had visited so far were less than one percent of the entire map.
According to the location indicated on the map, the two took transportation to Xuanle Street. There were many shops selling transportation on the street, including various aircraft, small spaceships, suspension equipment, etc., but the points required were also very high.
The streets are also filled with aircraft and various strange means of transportation.
The two followed the map to No. 128, but found that there was no house here. No. 127 was a store selling aircraft, and No. 129 was a shop that repaired machinery. There was a distance of about five meters in between. There were no houses or house numbers, only an open space.
Zhou Zhou looked at the map and the information on the task panel several times and said, "I'm not going the wrong way."
Then why can't we find number 128?
A middle-aged man sitting on the side of the road eating biscuits watched Zhou Zhou and Elvia standing there and wandering for a long time. He wolfed down the biscuits in his hand in a few bites and walked forward.
"What are you looking for?" The middle-aged man looked sloppy and untidy, and biscuit crumbs were about to spray out when he spoke.
Zhou Zhou didn't seem to be unusual when facing the man: "I'm looking for number 128."
He looked Zhou Zhou and Alvia up and down: "Are you doing a dungeon mission?"
Zhou Zhou nodded.
"Come with me." The middle-aged man waved his hand and walked to the other side.
The two looked at each other and followed.
After walking a few steps, the man stopped in front of a car. The car was very old and the model was thousands of years old. No one knew where it was dug out from. The white-gray exterior had paint peeling off in several places. Compared with the luxurious aircraft parked nearby, the gap between the two is too obvious.
"Get in." The man opened the door and said to the two people, "I will not leave until the car is full. You go in and wait first."
After he finished speaking, he returned to where he had been sitting and took out a biscuit from his pocket.
Zhou Zhou blinked, looked at the antique car, and then looked at the words sprayed in black paint on it.
"Number 128."
It turns out that No. 128 Xuanle Street is movable.
