Chapter 112 Devil Detective

Paradise, Blue Mountain Cafe.

At this moment...

The glass windows around the shop were completely covered by a blood-red curtain, and the entire cafe began to contract and expand in a strange, rhythmic frequency, and the frequency of the vibration and fluctuation was like a beating heart.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

It seemed that something was absorbing a huge amount of blood.

Miko's figure stood at the door, yawning in boredom, like an employee waiting at the door, waiting to be released after get off work.

Finally...

The cafe stopped beating, and the blood-red curtain seemed to be given life, slowly retreating along the windows around the shop like a tide, shrinking towards the figure in the center.

To be precise, the figure was wrapped in a thin film, and from the outline, it looked like a huge upright heart, as big as an adult.

Click!

The film cracked a crack, then two, then three...

When the "heart" was completely cracked, the man who walked out of it had deep facial features, a high nose bridge, a bowler hat on his head, a cane in his right hand, a tuxedo that set off his slender figure, and his leather boots on the ground were polished to a shine.

His face was of typical British descent, and he looked very handsome. However, his deep, dark pupils seemed to be able to see through everything. Looking at the other person's face, one would inexplicably feel a sense of fear.

The shadow behind him, as if under the oblique angle of the spotlight, became particularly huge, as if it was silently wriggling and active.

The man in the tuxedo moved his hands and feet, as if he was adapting to his new body, and his bones made a "crackling" sound, which was unusually crisp.

At this moment, Miko came over with an interesting smile:

"So this is the player you mentioned, quite interesting, I see the torrent of the City of Destiny is rushing towards them."

"Including... a hidden door here, now it is in your hands."

"You gave one of the keys to a competitor, who is said to be the No. 1 player, so he should be the most powerful one, right? However, with the power you have now, you should have a great chance to compete for the No. 1, and even have a chance to kill him. Are you really not interested?"

The man in the tuxedo smiled and said, "Anyone would be tempted by the reward of the No. 1, so it is impossible not to be completely interested."

"He is about to leave the paradise now, don't you take this opportunity to catch up with him? Since the No. 1 has taken the position that originally belonged to you, as long as you kill him, the No. 1 will be yours again."

Miko's words suddenly carried a bewitching power, and the voice echoed around this area, as if there was a kind of hooking of the mind, making people fall into the pleasure of disputes.

"Put away your power. It was useless to me before, and it has no effect on me now."

The man in the tuxedo glanced at Miko indifferently, shook his head and smiled:

"If you can get the first place by simply killing a player, you can try it."

"Unfortunately, it's useless."

"Based on the information I collected, even if that guy died, I wouldn't get the first place."

"Oh?" Miko was surprised and curious, "Why do you say that?"

"The destiny is not mine."

The man in the tuxedo smiled, and was not reluctant to share his judgment, saying:

"I have noticed that everyone in this city seems to be Drawn together by fate, some are mediocre, while others have destiny. "

"Based on the information we have collected... If that guy dies, there is another monster that will replace all players and become the number one on the list."

"But if that guy is kept, there may be variables and opportunities for competition... Hehe, I am very interested in how the future list war will end!"

"As for my destiny, it has nothing to do with this list."

When Miko heard the word "destiny", her eyes lit up slightly, and her lazy look disappeared, as if mentioning this topic could arouse her great interest.

"What is your destiny?" she asked.

"The truth!"

The tuxedo man's eyes suddenly became more focused than ever before, and his dark and deep pupils were like flames reflecting the whole world, extremely bright, as if he wanted to see through the secrets hidden in the endless darkness and the deepest secrets.

He seemed to be in a state of ecstasy, pacing back and forth with his head down, stroking his chin and saying:

"My intuition feels harmonious but discordant details... City of Destiny... In this city, the fate of every player seems to be pulled by something."

"From the professional identity drawn at the beginning, to their exclusive talents, to the torrent of destiny connected to each player..."

"Individuals should be scattered. But I see that every individual in this city is both independent and connected. It is an individual and a whole."

"Why is this..."

He suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of excitement:

"This question is really interesting... It involves the past, present, and future... It involves you, me, every native here, every player, every destiny... There is no mystery that is bigger than this question, unprecedented!"

"If one day, I can solve this mystery..."

"Then I think this is my destiny!"

Ya Zi's face regained that lazy look, she yawned, and said sleepily:

"Destiny, it seems really interesting. But unfortunately I am just a dancer, I don't have any destiny, only the destiny of clocking in to work. Now it's time to get off work, my destiny is to get off work. Goodbye, my new boss."

…………

After a night, the bloody eyes in the park disappeared strangely.

The streets near the outer area of ​​the pedestrian street returned to their original color.

But if you look deeper, near the entrance of Xijiang Park and the old city, there is a faint blood mist.

In the blood mist, you can also see blurry figures, shuttling through it, which is very strange.

The shops on both sides are covered with a layer of blood-colored curtains, and the scenes inside the shops are not clear.

But at the door of some shops, the doors are not completely closed, but half-closed, as if you can go in.

Chen Ye came to the entrance of the park smoothly all the way. The aura of luck on this road is like the route along the lower reaches of the Xijiang River at the beginning, gray and white, and there is no risk for the time being.

But looking deeper into the paradise, the ring of disaster there is even more bizarre than the lower reaches of the Xijiang River. In addition to the deep ink color, there are also tangled lines, which are weirdly intertwined, as if outlining an absurd, bizarre, and disorderly world.

Compared with the disaster scene yesterday, there are actually small sheds built at the entrance of the paradise.

After surviving, many players realized that this paradise is a large copy, and it is very likely that there are many "sub-copy" strategies in it.

There are dangers, but there are also opportunities.

So...

Some courageous players set up tents here, team up with others, and find ways to explore the paradise and obtain intelligence.

Yesterday, I was desperately running out, but today, some players set up camp here!

However, after a few days of development, some players have acquired special abilities, adapted to the life of the weird era, and know the rules of getting along with the weird. On the forum, there are also big guys who publish various strategies, and the overall level of players' understanding of this world is also constantly improving. Fear comes from the unknown. After obtaining enough information, their strategies will be more courageous than at the beginning.

When Chen Ye came out of the park, several players cast surprised eyes at him.

It seemed that they didn't expect that a player would enter the park so quickly, and ran out of it early in the morning.

Some players wanted to stop Chen Ye and ask him questions...

Unfortunately, Chen Ye immediately quickened his pace. With the speed blessing of [Wanderer's Boots], he only slightly quickened his pace and disappeared immediately.

The group of players gave up because they couldn't keep up.

Not long after...

Chen Ye's figure returned to the Xining alley.

This place remains the same as it was at the beginning, but it seems to be more deserted than at the beginning.

He passed by the door of Miss Squirrel Fish's shop and found that the door of the shop was closed, and Miss Squirrel Fish disappeared with it. Along the way, he didn't see the figures of the three gluttons, nor did he meet the old lady selling chestnuts again...

Everything seemed to have changed.

Chen Ye slowed down his pace, kept his wandering pace, and returned to his habitat.

Just then, a melodious sound of erhu came from not far away.

Hearing this familiar erhu, Chen Ye's mood finally relaxed.

For a moment, he thought that the old man of erhu might have left.

Although it was only a day later, this long-lost erhu brought a touch of warmth.

Chen Ye turned around the alley and was about to say hello to the old man of erhu. Suddenly, he paused and found that there were two more figures in suits beside him.

Among them, a young man with a Japanese hairstyle and a star-like face sat on a bench, enjoying the music intoxicatedly.

The man next to him was like a butler, holding a high-end black umbrella, standing upright and dignified, shielding the young man from the drizzling, fine rain.

"Hey, you are finally back, come and play a song, this is my new big client!"

Before Chen Ye could speak, the old man with the erhu couldn't help but smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he had found a treasure.

"What's going on?" Chen Ye was stunned.

At this critical moment, the surrounding natives were almost gone, but the old man with the erhu brought a new client over?

The young man took out a hundred copper coins from his pocket and put them into the bowl of the old man with the erhu as if they were free, and said with a smile:

"In this ghost world, it is really rare to hear such moving music. Hurry up, pay for the next song!"

After saying this, his eyes turned to Chen Ye, with a warm smile:

"Hey, so you are the new apprentice mentioned by the old man with the erhu, why don't you play a song with me."

"Don't worry..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you and I should be players?"
