Chapter 99 Desert Search (22) - Si Zhong Suo Wu
Si Zhong turned the queen's tomb upside down again; of course, the queen received the same treatment as the pharaoh.
He still hadn't found anything. At this point, he didn't take it to heart, since there were still places he hadn't searched. So he calmly walked toward the sacrificial chamber and the treasure room.
The problem arose when, after searching the rest of the place, he still couldn't find the item he was looking for.
This is really unusual. Could it be that he missed something?
Si Zhong wasn't very interested in dungeons where you just search for items; he preferred dungeons with lots of fighting and killing, which were more exciting and allowed him to release his abundant energy.
He took out a prop from his spatial storage; it was a triangular object no bigger than the palm of his hand.
There is a magic circle-like pattern in the middle of the triangle. This item is called "Do As You Please". You can get clues to clear the current dungeon by spending points.
The number of points required is directly proportional to the difficulty of the dungeon. After activating it, he saw that the item required 1,000 points.
This score indicates that the dungeon is not too difficult, and he doesn't care whether the clues are worth the score.
Without hesitation, he spent money to acquire clues and item hints. What he was looking for was an unknown space he had visited before, so he went there...
Si Zhong felt like he had seen a ghost today. First, he searched everywhere but couldn't find his target.
He then tried to find it in the area where the in-game purchase prompts were located, but still couldn't find it there. He even destroyed a wall that he suspected was problematic.
He spent money a second time, but the result showed that the target had moved to another location.
At first, he thought the item hint was wrong, so he went back to the location indicated and searched again, but still couldn't find it.
He was starting to question the meaning of life.
Undeterred, I searched thoroughly again, but still couldn't find it, so I spent money a third time...
When this happened a third time, he stared at the blurry block in the upper left corner of his view and fell silent.
This shape doesn't look like it has legs at all, so how can it run?
Could it be that the object he's looking for is a living thing?
He raised his hand, ready to spend money for the fourth time, but suddenly stopped when he saw the players running around and making a ruckus around him.
He stared intently at the players; his target wouldn't run away, but the players would.
If another player found his item, then it all makes sense.
He chuckled coldly a few times, knowing he had to find that person properly. If things were really as he suspected, that person would suffer a lot.
Ning Shu, who had just discovered that the coffin lid of the favored concubine had been overturned, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
What's with this sudden chill? Could it be that she's really gotten involved with something unclean?
Ning Shu's trembling did not affect someone's determination to find the person.
Si Zhong spent money again to get a clue, and then sprinted towards the indicated direction.
This time, the notification is from an unknown space again.
His expression was somewhat ferocious, filled with the excitement of about to kill his enemy.
Upon arriving at the designated location, he quietly approached Ning Shu and the others, who were talking and had no idea of his approach.
The fact that there was no one else in the place besides them surprised Si Zhong.
Actually, the reason there was no one here was entirely because of him. When Ning Shu and Wu Yi were crawling through the mechanism corridor, the noise he made while breaking through the wall startled the players in the same area.
The main reason is that those players recognized him as the player who killed people in the Oasis before. They knew he was quite skilled and that he killed without blinking an eye.
His godlike performance and ruthless behavior at the time were truly terrifying.
Seeing that he didn't seem to lack points, yet he killed someone for just 10 points, that's... how should I put it.
Normal people, assuming they have enough points, are generally unwilling to take the time to solve problems that can be solved by spending some points.
But he was completely different; he seemed to prefer solving problems with his own hands.
Who wouldn't be scared? You'd be terrified of accidentally touching on someone's taboo and getting killed.
Sister Li and her group shared the same thought, and quickly left after recognizing Si Zhong.
Therefore, after seeing Ning Shu and the others, Si Zhong was certain that what he wanted was with them.
"Take the stuff out."
The voice was still clear, but the meaning it contained sent chills down one's spine.
What was it? A bunch of question marks popped into Ning Shu's mind. When did she take his things?
She's clearly been deliberately keeping her distance from him, okay? Is he trying to scam her?
Ning Shu's puzzled look annoyed Si Zhong, who added, "You took things that didn't belong to you."
This is both a hint and a warning.
Something that doesn't belong to me? Does it exist? Ning Shu was about to say no when she suddenly realized something.
Could he be talking about...that thing? Is it his?
Si Zhong did not miss Ning Shu's subtle expression; her expression, which changed from confusion to fear, confirmed his guess.
He knew she understood what he was saying and waited for her to hand over the item.
My glasses are my downfall!
Ning Shu felt like she had really messed up! Her legs felt weak.
After forcing herself to calm down, she thought that the "heart" might be the key to activating the "Pharaoh's Curse," and she wanted to remind the other party of something.
It's conceivable that if the other party only needs to place the item in the designated location to complete the task, they certainly won't care about anyone else's life or death.
Most importantly, if the other person doesn't know where to put their belongings, telling them will only remind them and cause them trouble.
So Ning Shu said nothing and tremblingly took out the "heart" from her backpack.
He fawned over Si Zhong, presenting the gift with both hands and saying, "Handle it carefully."
When Ning Shu handed him the item with both hands, Si Zhong reached out one hand to take it, while simultaneously intending to "send Ning Shu away" after receiving the item.
He wanted to take revenge on anyone who dared to trick him, but he paused after hearing Ning Shu's words.
Looking Ning Shu up and down, he recognized her voice. She must be the one who warned him to be careful of the shadows back in the Oasis.
He didn't remember the other person's face, but he remembered their voice.
Si Zhong stared at Ning Shu for a long time before taking the item. Ning Shu thought he was putting on airs. If the situation hadn't forced her, she would have complained about him a couple of times.
Of course, she only complained in her mind; she wouldn't dare say it to his face.
Ning Shu sighed inwardly, wondering why some people have such outstanding appearances but such terrible personalities.
Can't good looks and a kind personality coexist? Is that so? But I digress; saving my dog's life is more important.
After the other person took the item, Ning Shu looked up and smiled at them.
Those white teeth were exposed, making his dark face appear even darker.
Si Zhonghao was disgusted; this little potato was really ugly. This was his first impression of Ning Shuyou after he had a memory of her.
