Chapter 5 The Lich

"Your name is Shi Mumu?" Shen Yi looked at the girl in front of him.

Due to the occlusion of the system, there was always a layer of fog covering the other party's face so that he could not see clearly, but he could vaguely feel that it was a young girl who was not very old.

Hearing what Shen Yi said, the girl was slightly taken aback, and the eyes that looked at Shen Yi gradually became vigilant: "Do you know me?"

"No, it's the first time we met." Shen Yi replied.

"Your reaction is not like meeting you for the first time."

"It's just that I heard it from my friends before." Shen Yi smiled.

"Oh? Can you tell me who it is?" Shi Mumu asked.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need for that."

After buying the scroll, Shen Yi gave 45,000 points, then turned and left.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but that I don't know how to say it. There are many things about Ivy that involve city secrets, and he is not allowed to disclose them at all, and he can't explain why Ivy died in the end, let alone explain this biggest failure since entering the city.

As for Ivy, she asked her to take care of this sister before she died. In the past, they couldn't take care of them in the second difficulty, but now they have entered the apartment complex, but there are crises around them. If I really want to take care of her, I'm afraid it will hurt her instead, so I might as well be a high roller and just pass by.

I didn't expect him to leave, but the other party refused to let him go.

Shi Mumu sighed leisurely: "You are Shen Yi, right?"

Shen Yi was startled, and looked back at the other party.

The girl has already released the masking fog covering her face, revealing a quiet face.

"You..." Shen Yi looked at her in surprise.

Shi Mumu's face was calm: "I already know about Ivy... besides, you are probably the only stranger in the city who can be so generous and willing to be generous to me."

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi understood: "Did you meet Lao Meng or the Chang family brothers? Or the four of Dragon Tooth Team?"

"Both." Shi Mumu replied: "Don't you know? Lao Meng and Chang's brothers joined the Dragon Tooth Team, and now Lao Meng is the captain of the Dragon Tooth Team. I only fought with them in the last world. This picture The scroll is one of the rewards from my last mission."

Shen Yi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, the seven people who survived the dark world would come together. But it's normal to say that the battlefield is the best team testing ground. Adventurers who have experienced life and death in a mission can easily establish relationships, and whether it is bravery, loyalty, wisdom, or strength, they have all been answered in the mission. Isn't that the case with Shen Yi and Hong Lang back then? Forming a team under the condition of mutual satisfaction and working together is closer to reality than the company-style recruiting method.

After all, for adventurers, loyalty, bravery and trustworthiness are far more important than strong personal power.

Now that Shi Mumu already knew about Ai Wei, Shen Yi was also happy to save some words.

"Ivy's soul is still in the Soul Stone, want to see it?" he asked.

Shi Mumu was taken aback.

Shen Yi had already taken out the soul stone and handed it to Shi Mumu. The girl in the stone closed her eyes slightly and fell asleep peacefully, like a peaceful sleeping beauty.

Shi Mumu watched dumbfoundedly, and finally sighed: "They didn't tell me this."

"they do not know."

"Thank you for giving Ivy a glimmer of hope."

"That's what I should do, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before...I just don't know how to tell you."

"I can understand." Shi Mumu smiled: "Some things have passed, let it pass."

"Yes." Shen Yi smiled.

The two stood and talked for a while, Shen Yi told Shi Mumu one by one about how they fought side by side with Ai Wei, Shen Yi tried to say nicely, saying that she has a soft personality and everyone likes her very much, Zhou Yiyu desperately told Shi Mumu Pursue her, and also talk about the endless benefits that Ivy's ability brings to everyone.

When talking about her entrustment before she died, Shi Mumu gave Shen Yi a resentful look, as if she was complaining that Shen Yi hadn't come to look for her, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing to look for, and she wasn't a dead comrade of the other party. For the elderly in the family who live in a difficult life, everyone has to fight on the line of life and death. It is no good to hurt the autumn and the moon too much, so I understand Shen Yi.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yi saw that time was running out, and said to Shi Mumu: "Sorry, I have to go."

"Urgent?"

"……yes."

Shi Mumu thought for a while, took out a note, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Shen Yi: "This is the address of Lao Meng and the others in the third district. They have always admired you. I think if you have any troubles, you need to find If they help, they should not refuse."

In addition to training, adventurers in the city mostly enjoy eating and enjoying their lives. There are very few real urgent matters, so Shi Mumu can easily guess that Shen Yi may be in trouble.

Shen Yi smiled and took it: "I was just about to ask you if you want to come... Thanks, you are such a smart girl."

—————————————

After bidding farewell to Shi Mumu, Shen Yi went to the West District to meet Wei Na. It's not difficult to find Wei Na, they have been in contact during this time, just half a month ago, Eternal Night just raised to the apartment area, and gave Shen Yi the address.

After hearing what she wanted, Wei Na immediately brought Shen Yi into a room, where the two spent three hours alone, during which time a team member of Eternal Night who had a crush on Wei Na was almost anxious. The door is about to be smashed, for fear of some "communication outside of work" - this is not groundless speculation, Wei Na has expressed her affection for Shen Yi more than once, and Shen Yi really doesn't look like What kind of gentleman can sit still.

As for whether anything happened between the two of them, to be honest, no one knows, anyway, Wei Na's eyes were full of resentment when she came out. This kind of resentment can be interpreted as dissatisfaction with desire, or it can be explained that Wei Na failed to take advantage of the transaction again.

"Then...it's settled."

"Let me tell you first, if there is any request beyond my duty, you will have to pay additional chips."

"I will, baby." Shen Yi kissed her lightly on the face, which was regarded as a courtesy, and it could be regarded as an advantage. This chick has good skin, much more delicate than the average American woman, and she may be the same as the cosmetics researcher she used to be. Identity related.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry, you can stay a little longer." Wei Na said temptingly.

"No." Shen Yi smiled wryly: "Today is very busy, I have to meet some friends again."

"A beauty again?"

"No, on the contrary, after such a long time, I have to doubt whether he is still a human being." Shen Yi replied with a smile.

After leaving the West District, Shen Yi went back to the East District to meet Lao Meng at the address given by Shi Mumu.

Even though he was fully prepared psychologically, Shen Yi couldn't help but gasped at the moment he saw Lao Meng.

Where does this look like a person?

Today's Lao Meng is almost a skeleton covered with a layer of skin. In the deeply sunken eye sockets, there are no longer human pupils, but a dark green fire shining brightly.

If such a face is thrown into the camp of the undead, it would be unreasonable for those undead not to regard him as one of their own. This image alone can gain the favor and trust of the heroes in the camp of the undead.

Perhaps he also knew that his image was too frightening. Old Meng wore a black cloth over his head for a long time, and he looked like an executioner in the Middle Ages.

Lao Meng was also a little surprised by Shen Yi's visit.

"Why did you come here?" Due to the erosion of vocal cord muscles, Lao Meng's voice became hoarse and sharp, like the noise made by two pieces of bone rubbing against each other.

"Come to meet old friends, why, aren't you welcome?"

"Of course not, sit inside if you don't mind." Lao Meng laughed and invited Shen Yi in.

After entering the door, Shen Yi realized that he had almost entered a cemetery of the undead. The room was gloomy and gloomy, full of blurred and ghostly atmosphere. There is no extra furniture in the room, only an altar is placed in the center, with strange rune marks engraved on it with green phosphorus, and blood is flowing on it. A ghostly hiss could be heard faintly in his ears, but he didn't know where it came from.

Shen Yi frowned: "Damn it, this is your residence, not your laboratory."

"Is there a difference? I have transformed into a demilich body, and I don't need to sleep now."

"It seems that you have made a lot of progress during this period, why are you a demilich?" Shen Yi couldn't find a place to sit down, so he could only stand and talk to Lao Meng. As for things like drinking tea, don't even think about it, there is no kitchen in this house. Shen Yi really wants to ask you if you don't even need to eat food, just gnaw on bones every day. But thinking about it, this question was too direct, so I didn't ask it.

Lao Meng replied: "A complete lich has immortality, but it has a fatal weakness, which is the phylactery, and the phylactery cannot be put into the blood crest. You also know that we adventurers may have no strengths, but There can be no disadvantages. So I chose to become a demilich physique, although not as powerful as a real lich, but it also removes the key weaknesses of human beings, and there is no so-called phylactery defect."

"It sounds like you're pretty happy with where you are?"

"Hey hey hey..." Lao Mengjian laughed, and Shen Yi's voice was horrified: "There is no satisfaction or dissatisfaction. If I can, of course I will choose a human body, but this is how things are in the world. If you want to get something You have to pay something. This path is my own choice, and I am willing to bear it, it is that simple."

As he said that, Lao Meng looked at Shen Yi: "Okay, let's talk about your reason for coming, you don't seem like the kind of person who likes to walk around the streets."

"Do I sound so utilitarian?"

"It's more utilitarian than what I said." Lao Meng said bluntly.

Shen Yi smiled wryly: "Okay...then I'll cut to the chase, there is a mission that suits you very well, are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"What mission?"

"Warcraft, there are a lot of hidden missions in the undead camp."

Lao Meng's emerald green phosphorescent eyes sparkled immediately: "Do you have information about the hidden missions of the undead camp?"

"A lot!" Shen Yi replied with certainty.

"Where did it come from?"

"It's classified."

Lao Meng took a deep breath: "Let's go, let's go to the room of the brothers of the Chang family and sit down. That's where we welcome guests and talk. You can also meet old friends by the way."

"I'm so happy." To be honest, Shen Yi didn't even want to stay in this ghostly place for a minute.
