Chapter 151 Reunion
"Sister! I didn't expect you to be here too!"
Bai Jiyue took a big step forward and put his arm around Gui Yun, "Are you hurt? I've suffered a lot, and I lost both my lives... You don't know how scared I am, and you're still so fierce, and you don't care about me at all..."
Glancing at Bai Jiuyue who looked gloomy, Gui Yan raised the corners of her lips, then deliberately flattened them, and said unhappily: "You are always good at acting cute. Why, you are with that person, will she let you suffer any loss?"
Ji Weihang didn't care what they said, and looked at the other person who walked out of the light column. "Daoyou Li, what a coincidence."
The person who walked out of the pillar of light in front of Gui Yan was an acquaintance, Li Wenxin.
Li Wenxin has a good relationship with Yao He and has cooperated with Ji Weihang in the previous game.
Li Wenxin shifted her gaze away from Bai Jiuyue. Among their group of independent cultivators, there were photos of the disciples of the major clans circulating among them. Naturally, she recognized Wanqi Shuang's little disciple.
Secretly sighing at the percentage of talented players, she responded, "What a coincidence."
Ji Weihang went straight to the point and asked about their experiences.
Li Wenxin gave a simple summary and told the story in a leisurely manner.
Their experience can be described as a true doomsday survival.
When she first entered the game, Gui Yan landed on the 56th floor of natural disasters. She encountered a fire first, and then a tsunami. Her physical fitness was weakened and she lost two lives in succession. Fortunately, her spiritual sense was still usable. She cooperated with a player with good physical fitness, found an island on the sea and left, and went down one floor to the 57th floor.
Everyone who steps onto the 57th floor will fall into a targeted illusion, with confused memories, and will think they are still in the original world with their loved ones.
Unlike reality, the illusion will use various means and tragedies to separate them. If they cannot understand it, they cannot leave, so they have to question their conscience.
Gui Yan was still very good at dealing with separation. She was the first to escape from the illusion and return to reality. She saw the sleeping Li Wenxin, who was assigned the identity of her "mother", and the player who cooperated with her to escape from the disaster layer. After helping them wake up, the three of them worked together to find a way out and went to the next level.
When it came to the 58th floor war, huge Zergs descended from the sky. Although the mecha warriors rescued them in time, the group still lost one or two lives.
The mecha warriors took them to the safe zone, and while searching for clues in the safe zone, they met a priest merchant in black robes.
Locals say that as long as you pay enough equivalent, you can get any product from the priest merchant.
After Li Wenxin and Gui Yan discussed it, they both used their two permanent lives to buy "the passage to the most important place."
Another player said he wanted to ask the priest merchant something, and parted ways with them.
As soon as they left, they received the news that the black and white chessboard had been triggered.
Because they didn't know who Wu Li and his mother were, they directly chose the White camp.
First, they prefer the color white; second, they have deep resentment towards this game and would be happy to destroy the world.
Afterwards, they followed the clues given by the priest merchant, found the passage, and came here in a golden light.
Bai Jiuyue, who had finished chatting with Gui Yan and was listening in, said, "Based on the time, it should be the player you know who triggered the black and white chessboard."
Li Wenxin pondered and said, "Is the black and white chessboard related to the priest merchant?"
Bai Jiyue said: "The information we have obtained is that if the priest merchant speaks, the black and white chessboard will be triggered."
Ji Weihang asked: "How do you communicate with the priest merchant? Can she speak?"
Gui Yan suddenly realized: "No wonder, she doesn't speak or show her face. Even the divine sense can't see her face under the black cloak. She controls a talking puppet to communicate."
After a pause, he said, "But I don't know what Ah Huan asked her to make her talk." He was puzzled, "We obviously walked all the way together, did she find something that I didn't find?"
"Ahuan? What's the player's name? What does he look like?" Ji Weihang asked.
Gui Yan glanced at her and said reluctantly, "Ah Huan is Ah Huan, just like she only knows that one of us is Ah Ling and the other is Ah Li. She is in her thirties, has short hair, is mature and steady. It's hard to describe what she looks like, just like a person."
Ji Weihang looked at Li Wenxin, and Li Wenxin also said, "There is nothing special about him. He is not a cultivator, but an ordinary person."
Since both of them said so, we have to put it aside for the time being.
Let Bai Jiuyue share the synchronization information with the two of them, Ji Weihang walked out of Kinmen alone, woke up a smuggler who was knocked unconscious on the ground, and began to interrogate him.
While synchronizing the information there, she also received Agger's information.
Agger is quite famous on the 66th floor. Although the Smuggling Guild was jointly established by smugglers and players, times have changed. There was a period of time when a large number of male players entered the game. They wanted to rob things without paying and ignored all advice. They also wanted to know whether they were women or not. They also wanted to control the Smuggling Guild and believed that players were nobler than local residents.
After that, the Smuggling Guild restrained its kindness towards players.
In addition, local customers are basically fixed, and most smugglers are too lazy to contact players, so they simply let the players fend for themselves in the dark.
But Agre didn't think all players were bad. So she posted precautions everywhere and set up the landing point of the security department as a base to observe secretly.
It can be said that Agger is a relatively player-oriented person in the smuggling guild, which is quite special.
"Have you met the guild leader?" Ji Weihang asked again after receiving Agger's message.
The smuggler said, "The current big sister? I haven't seen her. Since I heard the news that the previous big sister stepped down, I haven't been back to the headquarters."
Ji Weihang frowned and asked, "When was the eldest sister replaced? How was the eldest sister chosen?"
Smuggler: "When? A month ago. How to choose..." His tone was confused, "Usually it is chosen directly."
Another month ago.
"Did anything happen a month ago?"
Smuggler: “…No.”
No matter how much I asked, I couldn't get any more information. If I asked in more detail, I could only get vague denials.
The smugglers' memories only contain a shallow layer of information; if you dig deeper you'll find they have no memories at all.
I asked another smuggler and he said the same thing.
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Ji Weihang turned to look for the others. They had already discussed the information about the building blocks, and Li Wenxin and Gui Yan also knew why this game was so strange.
Knowing what the smuggler said, Bai Jiyue also remembered the month that he heard the NPC mention many times on the 23rd floor, and said, "Could this be one of the reasons why Ager led us here? What did a month ago represent?"
Ji Weihang: “It’s possible, I don’t know.”
Bai Jiyue looked at Gui Yan and said, "Besides that, my sister and the others should also have clues, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that we just happened to run into each other."
Li Wenxin and Gui Yan looked at each other. Gui Yan took out something from her arms and unfolded it. It was a blank piece of paper.
"This is the map I exchanged with the priest merchant using my modified weapon. She said it can show all the important places in a layer of building blocks, but it can only be used once, and only on one layer."
They were originally intended to be used in the most important places, and it is just right to use them now.
After Gui Yan chose to use it, lines appeared on the blank paper to form a pattern, constructing the outlines of buildings and roads, gradually showing the entire layout of the building blocks in front of everyone. After a moment, golden dots lit up between the black lines on the white paper, marking important locations.
Ji Weihang immediately recognized the place where the dark creature had led her just now.
The garbage dump, the cabin where you get the wooden snake, the bell tower, the cabin where you get the bear doll, and the golden gate are the important places closest to your current location.
After sharing the information, they first turned their attention to the teleportation array that was close at hand. They stared at the array pattern for a moment and confirmed that it was completely different from the array on Ji Jiang Continent and did not have any spiritual energy. They did not know how the teleportation was achieved.
He tried to change the formation pattern, but it didn't move at all. He tried to dig the ground to destroy it, but the ground was as solid as a rock.
The two who had used the formation knew about the various teleportation formations. The formation of the smuggling guild was one-way, which could only teleport in, not out. They would not trigger the teleportation formation, so they could study it.
Leaving them here to think, Ji Weihang took the map and went out to ask the dark creatures for directions.
Although they don't know where they are going, they will come as soon as you shout.
"Apart from those things, is there anything special about the place you just took me to?" She bent down and touched the python's body, and received an impatient warning. She smiled, "Especially the garbage dump. Is there anything special about it?"
The dark creature was not human after all, and did not make any sound. It just looked at her, unable to answer.
She didn't care, held up the map in her hand and said, "Which of these places on the map do you think is the most important?"
She had not considered whether the dark creatures could understand the map. She had never really considered them as non-human beings. In her view, they were all partial manifestations of the consciousness of the masters of the spiritual space.
The python stared at the map for a moment, raised its tail and pointed at a place, which was the garbage dump.
She held up the map and asked the giant, but the giant blinked in confusion, shifted his gaze to the teddy bear in his arms, and ignored her question.
As for the tiger, it stayed at a distance as usual and did not come close.
Looks like a trip to the garbage dump is in order.
The garbage dump was the only place without any "special items", so she just took a look from a distance and left.
She looked down at the python and said, "Would you please accompany me to the garbage dump again? You just ate so much of my energy."
The python thought for a moment, coiled up its body, and nodded.
"Then wait for me here." said Ji Weihang.
She turned around and went back to the house. They still hadn't done any further research on the formation, and when they heard her say that she was going to the garbage dump, they all expressed their willingness to follow her.
They closed and locked the Golden Gate again and took the key away. Bai Jiuyue then helped the two people who were arriving for the first time to change their clothes and appearance. Then the three of them followed Ji Weihang out.
Although Ji Weihang only told the python to go together, the giant and the tiger did not leave and followed her to the garbage dump.
On the way, Ji Weihang continued to try to absorb the energy in the air to break the seal. The dark creatures were very close to her, which made the two newcomers a little worried.
Gui Yan sent a message to Bai Jiuyue: "Is this okay? What she absorbed was neither spiritual energy nor underworld energy. Moreover, if this is a person's spiritual world, then what kind of energy did she absorb?"
Bai Jiyue didn't know, but she didn't care. She smiled and said, "Whatever, it's none of our business. What, are you worried about the safety of the person you hate the most?"
Gui Yan snorted and said, "I'm worried about our safety. If she goes crazy, we'll be in trouble."
The two of them communicated quietly through voice transmission. Although Li Wenxin was unable to use her spiritual sense, she realized that she had been excluded again and couldn't help but sigh.
Why are the relationships so complicated every time? She is just an ordinary cultivator who wants to complete the game.
The garbage dump was not far from the smuggling guild's base, and they arrived there in about ten minutes.
"Can you point out anything special here to me?" Ji Weihang asked.
The python hissed and stuck out its tongue, staring at the garbage dump, as if it had sensed something.
They also stared at the garbage dump vigilantly. After a moment, there was a loud bang, and something seemed to move among the piled-up cars.
Everyone retreated at the same time, but the dark creature did not retreat but advanced instead. In the blink of an eye, it ran into the pile of cars and disappeared.
A slight rustling sound was heard, and the next second, a bright and huge white light column rose from the pile of cars. All obstacles blocking the light were eliminated in the light. In the darkness, the light was so dazzling that everyone present squinted subconsciously.
All the dark creatures that saw the beam of light were approaching and rushing towards it.
At this moment, a clear female voice resounded through the sky.
"still!"
All dark creatures were still.
The beam of light disappeared, darkness fell again, and the rustling sound sounded again.
A huge mecha climbed out of the pile of cars, slid down, looked around, and the female voice sounded again: "Recover!"
The dark creatures resumed their movements, and they pounced on the empty light column according to their original trajectory, while the mechas walked towards Ji Weihang and others in the chaos behind them.
Standing about ten meters away from them, the cockpit on the chest and abdomen of the mecha opened, Fu Xuan stuck his head out, and waved to Ji Weihang with a smile.
