Chapter 1177? (Ψ`╭╮′)o? Bad Old Man! It's Time to Catch You!
After being dragged and had to follow Eddie, Dadong, and Axiu to the podium in a huge ballroom with a red curtain, Anne soon appeared in this ballroom filled with faint green light and smoke. There, I found a lot of weird dancers floating on the cliff-like 'void' dance floor to some classical music.
Obviously, just like the evil spirits, transformed zombies and some super-healing 'black long straight' girls she encountered outside, these dancers in front of them are all wearing dresses, but they are actually But there are zombies that are completely decayed, festered, abscessed, maggoted, and emitting a disgusting stench!
Here, this is the first time that Anne feels a little bit disgusted by why this backward VR game is so realistic...Of course, maybe she shouldn't use something more than the 'X1 touch suit' The more advanced multi-fold all-round touch, smell collection and feedback game equipment for games, right?
"Is it here?"
(¬д¬.)
"But where is the key? Where is it? Could it be that you want to hit those zombies again?!"
? (??Д??≡??д??)!?
After Annie took a look at this strange dance floor where the strange green smoke and shimmering light were emitting, and all the zombies were suspended in mid-air, Annie looked at the old place with some puzzlement. The Miss Artemis who came here with a non-mainstream hairstyle and hair color asked.
"I don't know the key yet, but the key person has been found!"
"It's her!"
"Did you see that? The only normal 'woman' among those zombies - Kira!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the zombie circle from Mansion of Mayhem, one of Halliday's earliest games! And 'The Shining' is just a small part of it, don't be fooled Already!"
"So I can basically confirm that the key to unlocking the second clue must be the only woman who looks normal!!"
Artemis stared at the NPC 'Kira' dancing up and down on the dance floor and a certain NPC 'Kira' who was hesitantly dancing with those zombies for a while, and then made her judgment firmly.
It is true that they came to the library to find the curator and entered "The Shining"!
Isn't it?
They found the 'ex-girlfriend' that Halliday loved the most but didn't dare to confess, and that Halliday specially arranged this scene and left the plausible clues, nothing more than wanting others to know his story , Knowing that he is not an old bachelor who wants to beat a bachelor until death, but a dedicated person who really likes a woman but dare not confess or accept it?
Anyway, Artemis thinks that's probably the case! As for whether that was the case, she had no way of confirming it. After all, a young girl like her definitely couldn't guess too much about what a dead widowed old man thought.
To be honest, if it weren't for the easter eggs left by the other party, it would be related to the actual control of those stocks and the "Oasis" game, but those things have a huge effect on their careers, and even have a bearing on whether they can beat the IOI sixth Man, if she defeats that online creative company, she must not easily speculate and guess what kind of perverted thoughts a disgusting old man has, right?
"!!"
"It's a zombie again..."
"But how are we going to find her? I can't fly, and I don't have flying equipment or vehicles with me!"
To be honest, if Ashura hadn't pulled him, Edge might have wanted to run out a long time ago. Why would he stay in this dungeon full of wraiths and horrible zombies?
"Maybe we can jump over!"
"Look! Through the zombies, using them as steps and climbing props,
Then try to get close to the 'Kira' in the middle and try to solve that clue? "
Artemis is a little eager to try.
Because she can basically be sure, sure, and certain now that the second key and the second important clue must be on the only normal female NPC surrounded by countless zombies, it must be like that!
"Jump over? From the zombies?!"
"No no no!"
"Forget it, Artemis, I'm going to go to you, anyway, I definitely won't go there, I think it's almost time for me to quit this bad dungeon!"
Edge hurriedly waved his hands and took two steps back. Now that he can face those horrible rotten zombies here, it is already very difficult for him. If he is required to jump and climb from those horrible zombies to the side of the woman , then spare him, he might rather not ask for the second key?
Anyway, he didn't think he could become the first Easter egg to get three keys and take Halliday with so many competitors stronger than him, surrounded by these friends and those IOI sixth people Lucky!
"No way!"
"We have to jump over, you give way first, I think I can try..."
While talking, Artemis began to take a few steps back, intending to speed up the run-up from here, and then jumped onto the dancing zombie girl and Mr. Zombie who were closest to them, and then got closer to that In the middle of a dangerous dance floor?
"!!"
"Huh? Annie, what are you doing?"
But it's a pity that before Artemis had time to speed up, she was grabbed by a little guy, which made her lower her head and ask a question anxiously and puzzled.
Because time is running out now, they have to try to crack it quickly and get the key and find the clues. If that woman wasn't the crux of the thread, they'd have to back out and try again!
"No need to jump, I'm a mage..."
ε=(??ο`*)))
"So, why don't I go and see for you? At least, I must be a little faster than all of you combined!"
??(??`▽′)????
After finishing speaking, regardless of what Edge and Miss Artemis thought, Annie flashed directly, and easily reached the sky above the woman named 'Kira', and waved her magic wand to kill the woman who was following her. The other party's dancing zombie was opened and beaten into the bottomless abyss.
Then, she cast the spell again, pulling the woman together and slowly sliding down to the suspended rock in the middle of the dance floor.
"What next?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Is there anything else they want to do?!"
(??????.??????)????????
After using the slow fall technique, Qi Qi landed on the suspended rock in the middle of the dance floor together with Obasan called 'Kira', Annie turned to the people at the entrance of the dance floor on the other side and asked .
'! ! '
‘It turns out that the mage is so convenient, it’s no wonder that he is Halliday’s own son... No, I will learn magic someday, and I will also become a great mage! '
'ah? '
‘Forget it! Edge, you definitely won't be able to learn them. Those spells may be more difficult than advanced mathematics and analytic geometry in college. You'd better save it! '
'No way? But Dadong, you are not a Faye, how do you know? '
'Because I have learned! '
'Then what? '
'No more! Do you know why there are so few mages in the game? Why is it so rare to get the title of Arcane Mage? '
'? ? '
'Why? '
‘Because arcane art is more difficult than ‘Olympic number’! With the title of the Arcane Master, I have only seen Annie in so many years! '
'! ! '
'Is it really that powerful? '
‘Of course it’s amazing, otherwise why did she, the Dark Daughter, get away with it for so long, even people from the IOI and the Fan League guild can’t do anything to her? ! '
‘If you say that, if you think about it, it really is…’
‘Then Dadong, I really can’t learn spells? ! '
‘This is not impossible, Mages are indeed difficult, but you may be able to go to the academician’s spells or the priest’s? '
'Does it make any difference? '
‘Those two professions are different from Mages. It is said that you don’t need to learn too much. One only needs to be cruel to oneself, and the other only needs to be cruel to others (hardly fooling)? But those two professions need some prerequisites, and it’s not so easy to learn...’
'ah? '
Eddie, Axiu, and Dadong ignored the impatient little girl on the dance floor, and just kept discussing the differences and opinions between mages, warlocks, and priests loudly.
"..."
(lll¬▽¬)
"Hey! Tell me quickly, what should I do next?!"
o(*`ー??)o
Seeing those guys chattering away, Annie finally got impatient, wishing she could teleport over in a flash and kick them one by one!
'I see! ! '
'Annie! ! '
'quick! Invite her to dance, or go kiss her! Then……! ! '
At this time, Artemis had just uttered the guesses she knew, but in an instant, a strong suction appeared in the direction of the stage door, and then sucked the five of them outside in an instant, and disappeared directly No, it has been teleported to the entrance of 'The Shining'.
Obviously, the five-minute time limit has already been reached, and those players who did not complete certain conditions of the dungeon were sent out by the system as a matter of course.
"!!"
!(;??o??)o
"..."
(ー`?? ー)
Seeing that Miss Artemis and others were sent out before they finished speaking, and they couldn't use the friend communication at all, Annie had no choice but to frown, and turned her head to stare suspiciously at Ou who was smiling at her. Basang. In the current situation, I'm afraid she can only decide what to do by herself, and those guys must not be counted on.
"Invite her to dance or kiss her?!"
(¬д¬.)
"Let's forget about that kind of thing... People think it might be easier to burn her directly?!"
??(ψ`▽′)o??
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Annie directly raised her hand to create a flame impact, causing a tongue of flames to sweep towards the other party and lick it, and instantly burned the other party into a scream and exclamation. Group fly ash.
(…)
ε=(????`●)))
Immediately afterwards!
Before Annie started to burn the surrounding zombies together again, she saw that as the woman was burned to ashes by her, those surrounding zombies also instantly shattered into pieces like ashes. Then it quickly gathered in front of her, and eventually formed a figure of some bad old man in a hood and pretending to be a prophet, which she said was very familiar.
Undoubtedly, Annie cracked the second clue and found Halliday, that is, the in-game image of the other party, that old man she hated so much—Prophet Arnock!
"Aha! I've caught you!!"
(??????)
"watch out!!"
??(ψ`▽′)o????
Seeing that old man Halliday appear, Annie couldn't wait to slam her long-planned Pyromorphology directly in the face at the opponent! !
! !
"??"
Halliday was a little caught off guard, he didn't know what the little girl in front of him was thinking, and she acted like crazy, doing that kind of thing to him as soon as they met?
"etc?!"
"you……"
??
Boom~! ! !
The next moment, a certain unlucky Halliday just appeared and took out a green emerald key in relief, and was about to hand it to the other party to open the treasure chest of the second clue, when he was horrified to find: a huge pyroexplosive key The fireball had already hit his hood, and instantly set his whole body on fire with a huge explosion, and instantly turned into pieces of fly ash...
"snort!"
ε=(??ˇεˇ????))) Bah! !
"Guys who don't learn well, let's see if you dare to encourage those bad guys to cheat during the game?!"
(??????????)hey-hey!
Burned the other party with a fire, and then got the emerald key. Anne felt refreshed and comfortable all over the body. She didn't even look at the ashes of the other party, and just teleported back to the 'Shining' At the entrance of the big house in the theater, I managed to see Edge, Miss Artemis and others who had been waiting outside impatiently.
'! ! '
'How's it going, Annie? '
'Very good! This is the second key, the emerald key, right? '
'Tell us quickly, what is said in the clue opened by the second key? ! '
'? ? '
'Annie? '
Seeing a certain little girl come out and seeing what the other party was holding, Artemis, Aiqi, Dadong and others gathered around one after another, intending to hear what the other party's clues were about. of.
"ah!!"
━(??Δ??∥)━ン
"that……"
('~`●)
"I seem to have forgotten to open that box just now, and just came out..."
(^~^;)ゞ
Annie, who is heartless and doesn't care about such trivial things at all, seems to have come back to her senses at this time, feeling that she was too happy for a while after 'burning' the clone of that old man in Arnock, so she didn't Be careful and forget something important?
'! ! '
'It seems that our conjecture is correct, it is that woman Kira! Artemis, hurry up, let's separate the team, go into the dungeon one by one, try to get the keys and clues as soon as possible, don't be robbed of the ranking by the IOI people! '
'ah? OK, OK! '
'? ? '
'Edge? Are you not going? ! '
'No! I dont go! You can go by yourself, don't worry about me, I'm right here! '
'Are you afraid? '
'I'm not afraid! ! '
‘You are just afraid! We just figured it out, and Anne got the key, now we just need to run as fast as we can to that dance floor and find that woman, what are you worried about? '
'...'
'Anyway, leave me alone! Artemis and Parsifal have already entered, you two should go in quickly! '
'you……'
In the end, Aiqi, who seemed to be a little timid, or didn't have much resistance to those evil spirits, still stubbornly didn't choose to go in. He just watched his four companions leave the team and ran in through the entrance. …Then, he just waited patiently at the exit with a bad little girl who got the key but didn't remember to look for the clue.
"Annie!"
"Did you see Halliday again? What did he say this time?"
Although he didn't plan to go in, that didn't prevent Aiqi from inquiring about the things he cared more about with a little girl beside him.
"What did you say?"
∑(°ー°〃)? !
"I didn't say anything, he was burned by a fireball just after he said 'wait'!!"
????(????`??)??????
"!!"
"You attacked Halliday?!!"
Unconsciously, Edge's voice suddenly became a little sharper, and he just stared round his eyes, made an exaggerated gesture and half-bowed his body, staring straight at someone with a nonchalant and friendly expression in disbelief. Sad little girl with impatient expression.
"What's so strange about that!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~
"I wanted to burn it last time. If he didn't run fast... Forget it, I won't wait here with you. It's a bit boring. Let's talk about it after they solve the third clue!"
(*???????`??)
After finishing speaking, after making a big grimace at Edge, Annie immediately put away the emerald key that seemed useless, and then waved her hands one by one to open an oval-shaped Faye portal, and went inside One jump, and soon disappeared.
At this time, on the scoreboard of the Halliday egg game, the name of a certain little girl, a certain mage Anne Hasta with the title of "Daughter of Darkness", and her number one The score skyrocketed again, a full increase of 100,000, and separated the second and third place Parsifal and Artemis by a long distance.
...
'Report! '
'I think, sir, that you must look at this first? '
Then, at the same time, in the IOI Online Creative Company, the second largest company in the world in 2045, a certain junior executive hurriedly called the manager of the company, Nolan Sorrento, and spoke to the other party in disapproval. With a patient look in his eyes, he respectfully handed an electronic panel showing the scoreboard of Halliday's Easter Egg Game to Fang's hand.
'! ! '
‘It’s that Dark Daughter again! ! '
'Well? ! '
‘Why is there still that Parsifal? What the hell is going on, hasn't he already...'
If he gritted his teeth a little bit when he saw Anne Hasta, the Daughter of Darkness who repeatedly opposed their IOI company in the game and caused heavy casualties to them just two days ago, on the panel, then, again Seeing that Parsifal's score change, it really made Nolan Sorrento feel a little frightened.
Because, he obviously sent someone to blow up the house of the dead otaku living in the slums to pieces... But now, why can the other party's points still change?
'! ! '
'Tell me quickly, what is going on here? ! '
In an emergency, Nolan Sorrento, who refrained from saying something that few people knew about it, stopped talking first, and waited for a while before forcing him to ask the supervisor with some nameless anger. road.
'Is such that……'
'One of our easter egg hunters saw these top-ranked guys go into that library a while back! '
'He sneaked over and heard them unlock the clue...'
'Next, as long as we win the "The Shining" challenge, we can get the second emerald key! '
‘However, that challenge seems a bit difficult, and I don’t know if those people have found any loopholes or bugs... In short, our personnel have lost hundreds of people, and we still haven’t found a way...’
"In this way, there are at least six people ahead of us..."
Pointing to the scoreboard, and then motioning to the boss to look at their appalling and yelling employees, the supervisor said with some helplessness.
Obviously, their IOI points are now seriously behind those few casual players who are progressing rapidly. In this way, if they continue to follow behind those people to solve the puzzle, then, undoubtedly, in the end, haha Liddy's easter eggs must have nothing to do with their company.
'alright! '
'I know about this matter, you go to work first! Remember, tell them to clear that flashing level and get that last clue as soon as possible! '
‘If they fall behind others this time, they won’t even be able to get the bonus for their puzzle-solving team this year! ! '
Impatiently waving his hands and scolding, telling the supervisor to hurry up and stare at those useless employees to go to work and try hard to find Easter eggs, Nolan Sorrento hurriedly walked to a place where there was no one, and quickly took the He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
'That's right! it's me! '
'Zander...'
'That boy, he's alive! ! ! '
‘Also, he might be with that nasty little girl right now, with that Daughter of Darkness! So, I hope that you can find them for me in the shortest possible time regardless of the cost! '
‘Yes, I’m talking about the real world! I need to find them in the real world and catch them! All of this is for the company, do you understand? '
'very good! I hope you can bring me good news as soon as possible...'
'So be it! ! '
After sullenly giving a strict time-limited order to a field female supervisor of his company's security department, the manager of IOI Online Creative Company, that Nolan Sorrento, hung up the communication on the phone with a snap , and then viciously pinched it in the palm of his hand.
