Chapter 128: The Land of No Return - Resting Place
After careful calculation, Nan Huan and his companions only stayed in Fengmenling for one night.
But this night was particularly fulfilling, with everything from traveling through ancient and modern times to going up to the sky and into the coffin. I was also fortunate enough to witness a rare scene of the system being invaded. When Nan Huan logged out of the game, he was so tired that he just wanted to close his eyes.
"What are you doing..."
Miao Jiang, who was woken up just before logging out of the game, turned around and wanted to cause trouble as soon as she stood still. However, before she met Nan Huan, she was blocked by Bei Xi.
"Don't make me regret not leaving you two where you are..."
Bei Xi didn't want to deal with Miao Jiang anymore. The implication of her words was very obvious. However, before she finished her harsh words, she discovered something was wrong in the game hall.
Nan Huan, who was standing beside him, yawned halfway and came closer with dry eyes, "I shouldn't be dreaming, right?"
The remaining few people finally reacted and saw the countdown and emptiness on the light screen in the game hall.
A few players from an unknown guild saw the guild leader, the young lady, and the people around them from afar, and hurriedly ran in one direction.
There was an indescribable worry on their faces when they looked at themselves, but it seemed that they were not simply afraid of themselves or Bei Xi's fighting ability.
Something happened in the game hall that they were not clear about.
Nan Huan looked at the entrance to the amusement park not far away and pinched himself. "Hiss... I'm not dreaming. Was the game hall robbed? And they even turned it into an amusement park?"
She sniffed her nose. The moment she logged out of the game, she actually smelled a faint fragrance, but at that time she thought it was the perfume of the player waiting at the door, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
She raised her nose again and found that the smell seemed to have disappeared.
Miao Jiang was originally trying to make an explanation in a domineering manner, but then he was stunned by the scene in front of him. On the other side, Bei Xi was already using the communication channel to contact Liu Shen and the others.
"Miss, I think something serious has happened here. I have to contact the players in our guild. I'll say goodbye now. If you have any news, please contact me in time."
The Mad Hatter was also contacting his people. Alice took this opportunity to say goodbye to Nan Huan, "You guys should also be careful. If you need anything, you can come to me."
Since a cooperative relationship had been reached, Alice did not act pretentiously anymore. After making her promise, she left with the Mad Hatter.
Miao Jiang followed closely behind. There were some voices coming from her communication channel. Nan Huan couldn't hear clearly, but he saw that the other party's face became unhappy after the conversation.
On the other side, Twelve's forehead was already covered with sweat and his expression became extremely solemn.
They had already quietly visited several large amusement facilities while the other guilds weren't paying attention, but nothing was discovered.
The system's broadcasts every few minutes sounded like a death spell in Twelve's ears.
"How long?"
She followed Liushen and carefully jumped down from the high platform several meters above the ground. She wiped the sweat off her face and wanted to head to the next location while speaking.
As a result, he had not taken two steps before he was pulled back by Liushen.
She glanced at the conspicuous countdown at the entrance of the amusement park, then took out a handkerchief from the warehouse, wiped Twelve's sweat, and handed him the water.
"Don't worry, there is still an hour left. Take a rest first. Your ability cannot be ineffective. There must be some clues that we haven't figured out."
"Huh? Only an hour has passed?"
Twelve has searched for more than a dozen amusement facilities in a row and feels that a lot of time has passed. After all, this is a clue related to the "Faith Totem Fragment", so she dare not relax.
But the long period of concentration had left her somewhat exhausted, and she felt as if her personal skills had become ineffective today.
After all, finding things was her strong point in the past. Sometimes she didn't even need to look for them, and the things would appear in front of her. But today, there was really no effect.
"What clues?" Twelve asked humbly, but also a little anxiously. "Besides, the system has been notifying us that more than ten admission letters have been found. We don't have much chance."
If Liu Shen had only guessed that something was wrong before, then the fact that there was no result after such a long period of time until twelve o'clock made her very sure that there must be a clue that she had missed.
Just when Liushen was thinking about how to explain to Twelve, there was movement on her communication channel. Seeing that it was Beixi, she was very surprised, "President, have you come out of the game? There is a problem in the game hall..."
The communication between the rest area and the copy could not be connected, so when Liushen saw the call, he knew that Beixi and the eldest lady had come out, so he didn't waste any words and gave a brief introduction to the situation in the game hall.
"But I think something is wrong here. Twelve and I haven't found the admission letter yet..." She explained to Bei Xi some of the things that seemed strange to her, "...We are here now, waiting for you to meet up first."
Liushen was very clear about how the eldest lady got the two previous "Faith Totem Fragments".
Moreover, in her opinion, these "faith totem fragments" seemed to have a strong private attribute, so it would be better to bring the young lady into the dungeon together.
But the situation in the game hall was special. At that time, the president and the eldest lady were still in other copies and had not come out. Liu Shen had to make a backup plan. Now she was very happy to hear that the two had returned.
Furthermore, if she felt that she couldn't figure out a problem, the president might be able to find out what was wrong.
"You mean, something went wrong in the game lobby while we were still in the dungeon?"
Nan Huan understood the whole story and felt somewhat confused.
Bei Xi held her hand and walked into the entrance of the amusement park, nodding, "Yes, it was very sudden, just before we were about to leave the dungeon. If we delayed a little longer, the countdown might have ended by the time we came out."
"But Liushen said that the system said that only when the game rules are announced, players in the game lobby can participate."
Nan Huan understood what Bei Xi wanted to say. "Isn't this too random? After all, there are so many players in the game. If we can't say that we treat everyone equally, at least we should give players more time in advance to let them have the right to choose, right?"
"The "Shuimu Private High School" dungeon is also the latest to be launched, and according to the rules released by the system, only those who have received the admission letter after the countdown is over are eligible to enter the dungeon directly, just like..."
"It's like the system is in a hurry, but why? Why is it in a hurry?"
Nan Huan added what Bei Xi wanted to say, "Besides, it was all quiet before, so why did they suddenly announce the news that there was a 'Faith Totem Fragment' hidden in the dungeon this time? They changed from a character who didn't interfere and didn't spoil the plot to someone who couldn't wait? Isn't this a quick change?"
Nan Huan wrinkled his nose, looking disgusted.
"So, what do you think might be the reason?"
Bei Xi thought she looked so cute when she made eyes, so he reached out and scratched her nose.
"Well, if a person's behavior changes significantly, it means that they are seriously ill and are close to death?"
Nan Huan's tone was sinister, and no one knew whether she was speaking to Bei Xi or deliberately to the system. Not only that, she also openly harassed the system.
"Hey, now that I've said this, why don't you come out and clarify? Or am I telling the truth and you're dying, so you're so anxious?"
Along the way, Nan Huan always spoke a few words to the system intentionally or unintentionally, trying to pry something out of it. However, the system had been determined to play deaf and dumb since they left the dungeon, and didn't say a word.
"It seems that they are unwilling to clarify the matter even if the rumor of their death gets out. Or maybe they have been holding back on something bad and are reluctant to tell us."
Nanhuan didn't have high hopes for it, but judging from the other party's resolute silence, there must be something fishy going on.
As they were talking, they bumped into Liushen.
Ase and Ah Kong had not had the chance to integrate into the new group before they encountered such a thing, so they had to follow Shijiu and the others to continue looking for the admission letters.
Beixi and Nanhuan, together with Liushen and Twelve, were preparing to discuss what to do next.
Nan Huan caught a key point from what Liu Shen said, "You mean, since the countdown began, the system has been reporting how many admission letters have been found every once in a while, but it hasn't announced who found them? It hasn't even released a title?"
Before the Sixth God spoke, Twelve answered first, and was very sure, "Not a single one, all the notices are the same, and now several acceptance letters have been found. Not to mention the titles, even the guilds that the players belong to have not been announced!"
Twelve was obviously a little anxious. If the system had released a little information, they wouldn't be like headless flies.
"Shouldn't this be the case?"
Nan Huan really felt strange.
"Why do you say that?"
Twelve hadn't seen her for one day and missed her so much that he approached her while she was talking.
"From the announcement of this pre-task in the game lobby, not to mention the unfairness and weirdness of it, the system deliberately stated that the admission notice was blank from the beginning until the countdown ended. It was obvious that they wanted to see everyone kill each other, but when the admission notice was broadcast later, the player's title and guild were not mentioned. This contradictory behavior does not seem like the usual style of the game."
"And your skills don't actually play any role in this process of finding things. This is something I don't understand."
Nan Huan mentioned Twelve's skills at the end. After all, she had seen him in the carriage, a real lucky guy who could get the ticket with just a touch. It was really unacceptable that he hadn't even touched the admission letter in such a long time.
Speaking of this, Nan Huan had a guess and thought of another question.
"Did you hear the broadcast about me getting the third piece of the Totem of Faith?"
