Chapter 3679 Geralt

Starworm saw that the wasteland-style man was about to leave, and subconsciously wanted to stop him.

It was rare to meet someone he could talk to, and he wanted to take this opportunity to ask the other party for information about Prada Media Company.

However, the other party left at a speed beyond imagination.

When Starworm called to stop, he had already disappeared.

Starworm murmured: "Did I call too late?"

"No, your speed is already very fast, it's his sense of presence that has disappeared." Gleipnir pondered.

She saw with her own eyes that the other party walked quickly into the crowd not far away, and then in the blink of an eye from her side, the other party disappeared. This disappearance does not mean that he is invisible, because if you count the heads, there is obviously one more person in the group.

This shows that he has blended in with that group of people.

But it reduces his own sense of existence, allowing outsiders to automatically ignore his impression when counting him.

"Reduce the sense of presence?"

"Well, this should be some kind of fashion magic." Gleipnir whispered.

Gleipnir glanced at it for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and did not go over to follow the other party's traces. She understood what Star Bug meant by calling him to stop, and she said softly: "It doesn't matter, we can find other people to ask for directions."

Starworm could only nod, after all, the other person didn't know where he was now.

"Speaking of which, do you have any thoughts after hearing what he just said?" Gleipnir looked at Starworm, "Do you think he is telling the truth?"

Star Bug recalled for a moment: "I feel it should be the truth. His tone, eyes when speaking, and the details of his expression don't seem like he is speaking."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he does regard us as people from the 'underground neighborhood'."

"However, why he is sure that we are from the 'underground neighborhood', I can't figure it out." Starworm touched his brick mask: "Is it because my ruin style mask conflicts with his style?"

Gleipnir shook his head: "It probably has nothing to do with the mask."

"If it's because of the mask style, he'll just think you're from the underground neighborhood and won't include me."

The clothes Gleipnir wore had nothing to do with the style of ruins or wasteland. If you insist on classifying it, she probably has astrological style? Or classic magic style?

But the other party recognized Gleipnir as a fellow traveler in the underground neighborhood, so his judgment had absolutely nothing to do with his dressing style.

Graipnir thought for a while and said, "He just mentioned two key points. One is identity, and the other is contact."

"Perhaps, his judgment is based on these two points."

According to him, people in the underground neighborhoods have no identity. In other words, none of them have a legal identity. Although they live in a modern city, they are not protected by urban security.

He later mentioned that once we were encountered by Wodans, the other party would be able to determine that we were unidentified underground street people.

This shows that people in Modern City may have mastered the ability to determine the identity of another person through contact.

From these two points, we can infer a possibility:

Perhaps the reason why he believed that Gleipnir and Starworm were born in the underground neighborhood was because he noticed that they had no identity.

Because they found that they had no identity, the wasteland style man naturally identified them as "people from the underground neighborhood."

As for how you noticed it?

Then there’s the topic of touch.

At that time, when they were observing the clothes of people outside in the alley, this wasteland-style man emerged from the sewer of the alley and passed by them.

It was during that "buzz" that they had close contact with each other.

Therefore, the other party judged that they had no identity. As for the undocumented people in the modern city, they may only be people from the underground neighborhoods.

After Gleipnir sorted it out, Starworm slowly came back to his senses.

"It seems to be true." Star Bug's eyes flashed with realization, and then he seemed to have thought of something: "If the people in the underground neighborhood have no legal identity, then maybe we can pretend that we are from the underground neighborhood?"

When they came out of the ruins area, the reason why they had to observe the dressing of outsiders was because they were worried that they would not fit into the dungeon.

But now, because of the wasteland style man's words, they can pretend that they are from the underground neighborhood!

The “identitylessness” of underground neighborhoods is actually a kind of identity.

Gleipnir: "Yes, yes, but I think now is not the time to discuss identity. Don't forget our business."

The matter of identity may be used in subsequent main quests.

But now, they haven't even completed the first round of main missions, so there is no need to consider the issue of identity.

"That's right." Starworm scratched his head: "Then let's go upstairs to the train platform first."

Temporarily suppressing other thoughts, they came to the stairs and wanted to go upstairs.

But soon, they were kicked out.

The first six floors of the Viv Building are commercial buildings, which can be entered and exited freely. But above the sixth floor, all the way to the 18th floor, are residential areas. Residential areas have access cards. If you want to go upstairs, you must prove that you are a user in the residential area, or someone from the residential area will pick them up.

And because they didn't have the key card, they were naturally kicked out.

Back in the mall, Starworm looked at Gleipnir: "What should we do now?"

Gleipnir did not answer, but just motioned to the starworm to stretch out his hand.

Starworm stretched out his hand in confusion.

Graipnir reached out and touched his cane. The next second, the silent text column in his field of vision suddenly jumped.

Starworm glanced at the text column with some confusion.

The first thing he saw was the word "key card". He was stunned: "Could this be the key card for us to go upstairs? How did you get it?"

Gleipnir was silent for two seconds: "See clearly what the prefix of the door card is."

"Key card prefix?" Starworm muttered and read out loud: "Manor... key card?"

Gleipnir nodded: "This is the key card of the previous literary manor. Outside the fairyland, you can enter the manor through it every day..."

Graipnir briefly talked about the function of the manor door card.

"I wanted to give it to you before, but activating this key card requires a text field."

Now that the Starworm had a text column, and the fact that he had hit a wall just now because he did not have permission to live in a residential area, this reminded Gleipnir of the door card, so he took this opportunity to hand it over to him.

Starworm: "Can this door card only be used outside the fairyland?"

Gleipnir nodded: "There is no way to activate him in the fairyland."

Star Bug is right to think about it. If you can enter the text space at any time in the fairyland, then hide in when you encounter danger. Then you will be invincible when conquering the fairyland.

After putting away the door card.

Starworm asks what they should do next.

Graipnir: "Residential areas are private areas, and it is normal to have access cards. But the platform on the 20th floor should be an open area like a shopping mall. There must be a way to get up."

The reason why Graipnir was so sure was naturally because Angel told him that people in the underground neighborhoods would sneak into the train. And the people in the underground neighborhood must be like them, unable to enter the residential area, so how did they get to the platform on the 20th floor? There is no doubt that there must be a direct way to the twentieth floor.

How to find this method?

Just find a place with lots of people.

There will definitely be many people taking the train. They most likely don't have permission to live in a residential area, so if they want to get to the 20th floor, there must be another way.

Sure enough, after searching for a while, Gleipnir and Starworm found an elevator that went straight to the 20th floor in a place with a lot of traffic.

The journey after that was smooth.

They successfully reached the high-altitude platform and found a city map on the platform.

This map is different from what Starworm imagined. It is not an orbital map, but a thumbnail of the city, with various landmark facilities, public buildings and well-known enterprises in the modern city marked on it.

The location of Prada Media Company is also marked on the map.

However, Starworm discovered that Prada Media Company is located in the North 9th District, which is still a bit far away from the South 13th District where they are located.

If you just walk there without taking any vehicle, you will never be able to get there before the countdown ends.

So they have to take a vehicle.

There are only two vehicle options, one is the Black Tiger. Once you know the destination, riding the Black Tiger will definitely take enough time, but you need to consider the impact of the Black Tiger carrying people; the second is to choose public transportation.

For example, the shuttle train at this platform can reach the North 9th District. When you get off the train, it only takes a few minutes to walk to Prada Media Company.

Taking the shuttle train is definitely more hidden, but now there is a new problem: there are not only ticket inspectors but also security guards on the platform.

If they want to take the train, they must buy a ticket.

Buying a ticket requires identification and money. And these two necessary conditions... they have neither.

Otherwise, let Heihu send them there?

Just when Starworm was struggling, Grai

Punil patted his shoulder gently, and in Star Bug's doubtful eyes, she pointed not far away.

Starworm looked in the direction of her finger.

But they saw the door of a corridor in the distance was opened, and a figure was waving to them.

Taking a closer look, it was the wasteland-style man from before.

Starworm and Gleipnir looked at each other, made an instant decision, and walked towards each other.

When they came to the front door, the wasteland-style man quickly motioned for them to come in, and then quickly closed the door.

After the door was locked, he said angrily: "You really don't understand at all. Didn't you see a police dog looking at you?"

"The sheriff still needs to make contact to determine your identity; but those mechanical police dogs don't need that. Their glowing eyes are natural scanners, recording all the legal citizens of Modern City."

"If you are seen by a police dog and find out that you are someone from the underground neighborhood, you will be finished."

"If I hadn't looked out through the peephole and spotted you, you would have collided with the police dog by now."

After a while of scolding, the wasteland-style man secretly looked out through the peephole. After confirming that the police dog and the sheriff had gone away, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the police officers outside District 9 turn a blind eye to people like us in underground neighborhoods. As long as the police dogs don't catch us, they won't take the initiative to come to us."

"Compared to machines, humans are more affectionate."

After sighing with emotion, the wasteland-style man looked at the two "similar people" who were silent and sighed: "It's also fate. In less than an hour, we met three times in a row."

Since they were so destined, the wasteland-style man thought about it and decided to get to know each other.

He extended an olive branch, and Gleipnir and Starworm naturally would not refuse. They just needed to find out more information about Modern City from him.

After the two sides introduced each other, Gleipnir learned the man's name.

Geralt.

When Geralt said his name, the long-lost Wonderland prompt appeared in their minds.

"Geralt"

"Geralt is one of the key figures in the arson case of the Modern City Art Museum 20 years ago. Contacting him and other characters in the same series may trigger the side quest "The Truth Covered by Fire." "

When Gleipnir first saw the Wonderland prompt, he thought it triggered the quest.

But unexpectedly, it was just Geralt's character information.

This is the first time that a character profile has been recognized by the Wonderland prompt in a dungeon.

Perhaps this is the special mechanism of the "Modern City" dungeon?

After reading Geralt's introduction, Starworm may still be a little confused; but Gleipnir probably guessed that the other party's side quest should be related to the exploration degree.

Although the ultimate main task of this dungeon is to reach the top of fashion.

But just reaching the top of fashion will not push the exploration to 100%. It is necessary to complete more side quests, random quests, and collect more fashion monster puzzles to gradually push the exploration to 100% perfection.

In other words, if someone wants to pass the "Prada Beauty Show" perfectly in the future, the other party will most likely need to contact Geralt and complete his side quest.

As for how to accept the "truth covered by fire" on Geralt, Gleipnir guessed that it should be related to the degree of recognition.

Just like the Uriel dungeon, a group of people are brushing Luigi's recognition. Only after reaching a certain degree of recognition can they get the qualification to go to the Dream Crystal.

Similarly, if they want to get Geralt's side quests, they may need to contact Geralt frequently, improve their recognition, and finally let him take the initiative to release the side quests.

Of course, the above is just Gleipnir's guess. She is not sure whether it is true or not.

She had no intention of advancing the exploration of this dungeon, so even if she knew that Geralt had a side quest, she silently ignored it.

The same was true for Starworm. He also saw the fairyland prompt, but he didn't think about pushing this side quest.

He had the intention, but he couldn't.

He would stay in the Dream Crystal Plain for six days at most, and he definitely wouldn't be able to touch this side quest in six days, so he pretended not to see it.

After introducing each other's identities, Gleipnir took the opportunity to bring up the matter of their desire to take the train.

Because she knew that Geralt, as the Blade of the Underground Block, would definitely be able to help them.

Sure enough, after listening to it, Geralt said naturally: "It just so happens that I came here to take the train, you guys will come with me later."
