Chapter 74 Blackrock City "But I like your scent, you clearly do too..."
Nan Ke ordered two pancakes.
However, Ji Yang fried three sheets.
Inside the store, "Jiang Yang" was still lying obediently on the cashier counter, like a lazy cat.
It was exactly the same state Jiang Yang was in when she was bored.
Ji Yang tentatively handed over the first one.
Jiang Yang squinted happily and asked, "For me?"
Ji Yang said gently, "Hmm, give it a try."
"Delicious!" The answer was flawless.
The smile on Ji Yang's face vanished the moment he left the pancake shop.
He naturally suspected Jiang Yang's identity, but at this time he was not clear about Jiang Yang's true condition. He only knew from the panel that Jiang Yang was probably still in a lively and energetic stage.
Therefore, whatever emotions you have, you must suppress them and figure out the situation first.
The man walked all the way to the archway, and based on the distance and time, he guessed that Jiang Yang had also passed through from here.
The bats Jiang Yang had seen at the entrance were gone when Ji Yang arrived, and Ji Yang lifted his foot to step inside.
A leaf was stuck in the crack between the bricks of the archway at eye level. I noticed it instinctively and stopped abruptly.
A mark had been scratched into the tiles under the leaves, with the arrow pointing towards the "exit".
During the observation, it dawned on me that it was no wonder Jiang Yang had been waiting by the wall for quite a while.
This was made by Jiang Yang with a knife.
Ji Yang naturally noticed this problem as well.
He took a step back and looked up to compare the words above the two arches.
"Entrance" and "Exit".
My gaze shifted downwards again to the path where fallen leaves were drifting down.
One observer couldn't help but complain, "Wait, what is he still hesitating about when it's so obvious!"
But what's trapping Ji Yang now isn't where Jiang Yang is, but what exactly "Jiang Yang" is up to.
Shiwu Alley, entrance, exit.
The corresponding terms for Shiren Lane are "exit" and "entrance".
Jiang Yang was replaced by "Jiang Yang" in Shiren Lane after entering from the exit of Shiwu Lane.
Therefore, he would definitely not consider entering Shiren Alley using Jiang Yang's method, since he himself was not sure what he would face once inside.
However, on the contrary.
Which road does "Jiangyang" in Shiren Lane originate from?
He thought it was the exit of Shiren Lane, that is, the entrance of Shiwu Lane.
So what he was thinking about was what "Jiang Yang" would do after she came out.
Similarly, this is why Jiang Yang chose to stay at the Bat Clothing Store.
Jiang Yang also wanted to know what "it" was going to do.
The fact that Jiang Yang and Ji Yang were in sync could not prevent the two observers from briefly unifying their condemnation of Ji Yang.
After resting by the shop window, Jiang Yang received a second side quest.
[Found the Bat Clothing Store's warehouse]
Jiang Yang was unaware of what was happening while he was unconscious, but he saw everything clearly in the observation room.
At the time, the mannequin dragged him into the back warehouse. The observation room had a fixed live broadcast angle while Jiang Yang was unconscious, so the observers could not see the whole picture. Now that they could not rely on Ji Yang, they decided to crowdfund to help Jiang Yang save himself!
Ji Yang: To be unfairly blamed.
The door to the warehouse was in one of the fitting rooms.
By this time, he had already sweated quite a bit. The shell was over his original clothes, but there was another layer of clothing on the shell. Apart from his eyes, nose, and mouth, only the part where his upper and lower body were separated could breathe, so he was almost completely stuffed inside.
Jiang Yang carefully felt her way inside, holding onto the wall.
The warehouse was dark, and he could vaguely see a few figures as he stepped inside, which startled him so much that he instinctively backed away.
The shell accidentally knocked on the overhead light, revealing everything inside the warehouse.
The good news is, there's no one else.
The bad news is that there are nearly forty or fifty mannequins in an entire warehouse that look just like "it".
They all had their eyes tightly shut, one next to the other, just like the bats he had seen on the tree at the entrance...
Jiang Yang couldn't help but shudder.
The neat arrangement immediately drew Jiang Yang's attention to the empty spaces.
He carefully moved towards the empty space, avoiding the other dummies, but when he finally got close, his heavy shell accidentally knocked over the dummy next to the empty space, which was only about waist-high to him.
The plastic fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The part connecting the upper and lower body of the dummy broke off due to the force. Jiang Yang looked at the ground in fright, but there was nothing inside the dummy's shell.
Empty!
After the noise subsided, the other mannequins didn't react. Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and laboriously bent over, trying to lift the mannequin up.
He observed other mannequins, all in adult poses, and each one contained "it".
There was only one, and it was not only a child model, but also empty.
Just to be on the safe side, he thought it would be better to recover.
The sharp, rough edge of the shell pressed against his lower abdomen, and Jiang Yang felt a burning sensation in his abdomen.
After struggling to pick it up and put it back together, a line of crookedly written words on the ground caught his attention. The burning sensation continued, and he endured the discomfort as he bent over to look down, eventually lying down on the ground.
Fortunately, I finally saw it clearly.
The handwriting on the top line is childlike, and it reads "DisKi's brother".
The line below neatly adds "younger" between DisKi's and brother, seemingly to emphasize the author's authority as the older brother.
Each of the other mannequins has its own name underneath, making DisKi's identity quite obvious.
However, only DisKi did not write its name in front of its mannequin.
The young man looked up and asked, "Can anyone see me?" His prostrate position on the ground evoked a strange sense of pity.
He was speaking to the observers in the observation room, and a series of comments like "yes," "can," and "may" flooded the screen.
Jiang Yang didn't know anything about the pancake shop and couldn't call it rashly, but considering that the phone number here could reach the pancake shop, he guessed that the "Bat Clothing Store" and the Bat Clothing Store must be interacting.
Having been guided by missions twice in a row, he was willing to believe in the souls that showed him kindness.
So he asked, "Could Nan Ke come to the warehouse?"
After saying that, he took out a knife, bit the handle with his teeth, and started scratching the ground with force.
He could certainly ask the observer to convey a more direct message, but he was more worried about being targeted in the same polarized way as before. By sending Nan Ke to the warehouse, no one would be able to guess his intentions.
Not long after.
The Hanged Man has received a bounty side quest: "Go to the clothing store and kill DisKi."
Ji Yang received a bounty side quest: "Protect DisKi at the clothing store."
Ji Yang entered Shiren Alley from the entrance and successfully met Nan Ke there.
Nan Ke said they found an empty warehouse in the clothing store, but there was no other information, so he returned the way he came.
As he expected, on his return, the entrance to Shiwu Lane was the exit of Shiren Lane, and vice versa. On a sudden impulse, he walked out from the exit of Shiren Lane.
It turned out that there were no pancake shops in the alley.
In other words, there are no pancake shops in the dimension where "Jiang Yang" is located.
[Black Rock City Observatory - Ji Yang's Perspective]
"I have a strange feeling about this."
"It's not that I didn't understand what it meant."
"Just think of these two alleys as four. If you walk straight from Shiwu Alley to Shiren Alley, you'll find Nan Ke's clothing store. If you walk backwards, you'll find Jiang Yang's clothing store. If you walk backwards from Shiren Alley to Shiwu Alley, you'll find a pancake shop. If you walk backwards, you won't find a pancake shop."
"Yes, the question is why there aren't any pancake shops!"
Turning back, at the entrance of Stone House Alley, there was a tree covered with bats.
Ji Yang finally understood why Jiang Yang had chosen a different path.
He left through the exit and returned to the pancake shop.
In front of the shop, Jiang Yang was waiting there at some point. When she saw Ji Yang return, she ran over and hugged him, saying in a pitiful voice, "I thought you weren't coming back."
This time, Ji Yang forcefully pulled the person off him, saying in a distant tone, "It seems like we've only known each other for a short time."
The other person tilted their head, their tongue lightly sticking out to moisten their lips.
"But I like your scent, and you clearly like me too. Deep down, your desires clearly say two words..."
Get on me.
Retaining human reserve, he swallowed the rest of his words.
But he didn't understand why he was rejected even though he could sense the feelings between them.
Ji Yang shut down the observation room.
Tell the other person in a serious tone, "But liking someone means restraining your desires."
Jiang Yang took a step forward, her attitude pressing him relentlessly, "So, do you like me?"
It was a face that was no different from Jiang Yang's. Ji Yang hesitated, unsure whether refusing was refusing Jiang Yang himself.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and replied, "Jiang Yang never needs to confirm this with me."
This was the first time Ji Yang had openly expressed his feelings for Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang sat back down. "Okay, I understand."
Ji Yang reopened the observation room, and the first side mission was displayed on the pop-up panel.
[Go to the clothing store to protect Diski]
DisKi is certainly not with Nan Ke and Xie Lu.
So, it can only be the person next to me...
Ji Yang didn't want to get too entangled with him, but he felt like he was going crazy.
The observers in the observation room felt that the one who issued the task was going crazy.
Having forced himself to calm down, Ji Yang began to think.
Given that such a task is generated, there is a high probability that there is an opposite task as well, and Ji Yang guessed this correctly.
He continued to think that if he were to carry out the assassination mission, he would probably enter Nan Ke's clothing store first.
Then you will find the clothing store where Jiang Yang is.
Then, when she saw Jiang Yang, she realized that DisKi had already left the clothing store in Jiang Yang's place.
Finally, he will probably go to the pancake shop where Jiang Yang works to look for her.
If that's the case, the safest way is to take DisKi to the street without pancake shops.
The problem is that part-time workers cannot leave early.
However, what Ji Yang didn't expect was...
After being wounded and leaving Nan Ke's place, the Hanged Man, the executor of the "Kill" mission, found Jiang Yang at the clothing store and bumped into her as she came out of the warehouse to deliver a message to Nan Ke.
The Hanged Man binds the dummy's shell and asks the person for their identity.
Jiang Yang struggled in a high-pitched, fearful voice, "Who are you! What are you guys up to!"
The Hanged Man patiently repeated it.
"Please tell me.Who are you"
"I'm DisKi."
-----------------------
Author's note: Hmm... actually, the expression "o" is a bit subtle.
I don't know if you can tell.
It's about the connection between the person who replaced Jiang Yang and Jiang Yang.
Hmm... I'll hold my breath until I write the truth! I promise I won't give away any spoilers!
