Chapter 253 The Third Gathering at Chengxin Restaurant
Compared with the last gathering, this time there were more Tang Wu, Wang Jing, and Shen Meng, who was curled up under the table like a cat, with amber eyes wandering around, looking uneasy.
"Oops! It seems like all the big guys are here at this party! I, a little newbie, sit here and listen... Is it really appropriate?"
At this moment, all kinds of weird story plots kept popping up in Shen Meng's mind. As a newbie, he intervened in a party held by a big boss. If he heard some terrible secret information, he would not be killed. ?
But when I think about it carefully, I have now become a big-name employee. It seems that beating a dog depends on the owner...
Compared to Shen Meng, Wang Jing was much calmer. He looked around at the party members with curiosity. Seeing that they were all big guys, he quickly took out the grilled chicken wings he made by himself and distributed them to everyone. taste.
"This taste..." Tang Wu couldn't help sighing after taking the first bite, "I can predict that this restaurant will become the most famous restaurant on the pedestrian street in the near future."
Chen Xi had just taken her first bite and still managed to maintain her ladylike image.
But soon, she couldn't help but speed up her chewing, her mouth was full of oil, and she suddenly forgot her image as a saint.
Even though she is a saint, the food in Lieyang Church is very vegetarian. It is more nutritious than the monks eat, and it has no taste at all. What I eat every day is spiritual grass watered with holy water. There are no additives at all, not even salt...
As a saint, she eats the same grass as cattle and horses.
It is rare to enjoy such delicious food, which stimulates the taste buds. In the morning light, it is difficult to restrain myself, and the food becomes more and more wanton.
It wasn't until the puppet lady next to her gave a kind reminder that Chen Xi realized it, blushing slightly and feeling embarrassed for her rude eating gesture.
After eating, everyone did not forget to pay. After all, this is the City of Destiny and equal exchange is followed.
They're fine with the expense, too.
Spending dozens of copper coins, with the strength of all the big guys here, it is certainly not unaffordable.
However, being able to taste such a delicious meal makes me feel like I have earned a lot of money!
At this moment, Chen Ye's eyes fell on Chen Xi, and he suddenly made an unexpected discovery!
The golden star did not disappear, but became a bit blurry.
Moreover, the golden star from before wanted to compete with him and compete with him.
But at this moment, that connection was severed, and it flickered independently in the haze, seeming to be further away.
Chen Ye's mind moved secretly, and he made an analysis and judgment:
"Golden stars are related to destiny and will not disappear so easily."
"That is to say... the golden star in Chenxi last time was indeed related to pollution control. If I hadn't intervened with special means, then, with Chenxi's destiny, it is likely that Chenxi would be ranked first on the pollution control list."
"However, since the large-scale public copy of the Polluted Paradise ended, the golden stars in the morning light have not completely disappeared. They have only become a little hazy, but they still exist."
This reminded Chen Ye that it is difficult to change his own destiny. Even if there is a temporary change, it may still come to life in another way.
Moreover, as a saint, Chen Xi is likely to be connected with the Black Sun...
As for whether to tell things related to Black Sun so soon...
Chen Ye is still considering it for the time being.
"It seems that everyone has made good progress recently." Bai Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, paused for a moment on Chen Ye, tapped the edge of the long table, and said with a meaningful smile, "In that case, let me report first Let’s check the progress here!”
"First of all... the door opposite the cafe was completely blown up. I lost my identity as the boss, and Miss Yako is also in urgent need of a job."
"Alas, as a boss, I feel extremely ashamed that my unemployed employees have lost a place to rely on, so I can only use my only network resources to find you."
Speaking of this, Bai Chen had a sad expression on his face, as if he was really worried about his dereliction of duty. At the same time, he looked deeply at Miss Yako:
"From now on, you are no longer mine, but belong to others."
Miss Yako's face was full of black lines, and she stretched out her right hand to stop her: "Stop your exaggerated performance. I'm here to find a job. Please ask the old boss not to let me leave a bad impression on the new boss during the interview."
Chen Ye's mind moved, but he was concerned about the abnormal situation happening on the other side of the 'door'.
In fact, when he first went to the Blue Mountain Cafe, Chen Ye felt that the other side of the 'door' was extremely active, and it was not related to the [Gate of the Other Side] summoned by him with the [Sound of Ferry], or other encounters. Every 'door' I've visited is obviously different.
Specifically, there are many floating spirits near the Blue Mountain Cafe.
But these spirits are different from the wandering spirits above the Sea of Death.
It seems that it can be attached to something and remain in this world.
Generally speaking, if a spirit body has no corresponding attachment and remains in the present world, its energy will become weaker and weaker until it dissipates.
But if there is something to rely on, there will be a huge difference in both the duration and the overall energy displayed.
This knowledge is also the advanced knowledge that Chen Ye unlocked after he was promoted to [Ferryman] and digested through continuous acting after extraditing several batches of souls.
It seems that there is no need to deliberately learn and absorb, just from experience, you can automatically acquire these things you should know from the spiritual ocean of collective subconsciousness.
Bai Chen shrugged, then took out a telescope, and pushed it along the long table to Chen Ye:
"Just pick it up and see it."
The long-barreled telescope in front of him was made of white composite plastic. When he held it in his hand, the first feeling was that the surface was very smooth, and the second feeling was that the weight was heavier than he imagined. Even a solid steel rod might not be so heavy.
Chen Ye took it in his hand, played with it for a while, and soon found how to use it. He closed his left eye, put the front end of the telescope in front of his right eye, and looked closely...
Through the telescope, the picture presented in the pupil suddenly changed!
The picture in front of him seemed to have been refracted by multiple light sources, bypassing the layers of buildings on the pedestrian street, and saw the Blue Mountain Cafe at the corner of the street.
However, the spacious, bright, high-end and retro cafe has completely disappeared!
It turned into a huge piece of flesh and blood, like a monster covering the entire store, and was wriggling silently.
From the flesh and blood tissue covering the entire store, black blood kept flowing out, and the scene was weird and disgusting.
There were many players standing in the distance, watching, and seemed to be very interested in this store.
Chen Ye put down the telescope, retracted his vision, and suddenly showed a strange look:
"Your telescope doesn't seem to be very moral!"
It can actually pass through many visual barriers and see the movement of the target...
No wonder I encountered the impact of the gray fog when I just arrived at the park that night...
As a detective, Bai Chen actually has this kind of special props?
Although it is very suitable for detectives...
However, if it is used to directly spy on private images, it is simply impossible to defend against!
This kind of special props looks very rare. I haven't seen similar props in the internal test game of Weird Era. It is very likely that Bai Chen unlocked a special exclusive prop through stage tasks or hidden tasks.
Through these tasks, it is easy to obtain props that other players cannot obtain, assist themselves, conduct strategies, or further develop the purpose of their identity and profession.
Bai Chen smiled slightly and said:
"Sometimes, facing immoral enemies, just following morality is not the solution."
"You have a point." Chen Ye sighed, and could not find any fault with this statement.
Immediately, his eyes sank slightly, and he got back to the point:
"It seems that your coffee shop has been attacked by the characteristics of [parasites] for the time being, which is somewhat similar to the nature of [parasitic real estate]. But if this is the only problem, with your strength, you should be able to solve it completely, right?"
Bai Chen nodded slightly and smiled: "You are worthy of being the first on the list. You really see the reason clearly."
"In fact, the appearance of this store becoming a [parasite] is just an appearance."
"The problem with the 'door' inside is the real key point."
Chen Ye's mind moved, and he asked: "What is in that 'door'?"
Bai Chen shrugged and smiled: "Shouldn't your profession be more professional in this matter?"
"Don't look at me... I chose this place at the beginning, just because I thought there might be something fun in that 'door'!"
"But now it seems that this thing seems too fun, a little bit unaffordable, so I'd better give this opportunity to someone else!"
Chen Ye was speechless. It turned out that this guy didn't know what was in the 'door'?
This time, he came to me and "let" me go. He is really a traitor!
However, since I have unlocked the profession of [Ferryman], I do have a lot of means to explore the situation behind the 'door'.
Maybe there is really a valuable exploration opportunity in this special 'door'...
So, I have to jump into this pit, but I have to find a safe and appropriate way to see if I can get any benefit from it, or find a hidden copy to conduct a strategy.
Chen Ye looked up at Bai Chen and found that the golden star above his head was just the opposite of Chenxi.
If the golden star of Chenxi is more hazy and more distant than the last time I saw it...
Then, the golden star above Bai Chen's head is brighter.
Realizing this, Chen Ye narrowed his eyes and said:
"You should have other gains besides this matter, right?"
Bai Chen clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected of a big boss on the list, nothing can be hidden from you. To be honest, if you were a detective, I would worry about whether I would be unemployed..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spread a list in front of everyone, pointing to the various coded models composed of letters and numbers on it, and explained:
"This is the list of goods I got from the thugs who were mixed in the underground market."
"Last time, when you fought against the clown, the gunpowder and firearms you encountered were all items circulating in the underground market."
"Their structure is very similar to relics, but in fact, the materials used are not like relics, and the craftsmanship and usage are also very different."
"Following this clue, I found the organization behind the thugs."
At this point, the eyes of Chen Ye, Chen Xi and others suddenly became solemn, holding their breath, waiting for Bai Chen to continue.
Chen Xi's eyes changed several times, and she was obviously more surprised that the clown was active in the underground market.
In contrast, Chen Ye looked like he had known about it for a long time. After all, he had already known this information when he came back from the underground world, and now he was more concerned about the organization behind the thugs.
As for this information, Bai Chen's investigation has been ongoing since the last time he solved the Midnight Poet, and the progress is naturally deeper than that of Chen Ye.
Bai Chen smiled and seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He looked leisurely and said:
"That's an underground organization related to [darkness]."
"This organization specializes in recruiting [dark type] players as the backbone of the organization."
"In addition to being able to offer higher wages than ordinary organizations, this [Dark] organization also has special channels. It seems that it is easy to obtain promotion items related to [Darkness]."
"As long as you can join this organization, meet the [Dark Element] conditions, complete tasks and accumulate merit, you will have the opportunity to be promoted quickly."
"Oh, to be honest, with such a generous offer, if they hadn't found out about my criminal record and entanglements, I would have wanted to join them."
"However...these few battles are not without success. At least we know who the leader of their organization is..."
Bai Chen paused deliberately, as if he was giving it a try and deliberately titillating.
But Chen Ye and others didn't react at all. They just crossed their arms and sat in their original positions, continuing to wait for Bai Chen to continue.
"Really boring……"
Bai Chen felt a little disappointed, shrugged, and then continued:
"Is the leader of this organization? In fact, you must be familiar with it. He is the player at the top of the list -"
"Dark Night!"
So it was him... Chen Ye's eyes moved, and he immediately connected many pieces of information together, and the questions lingering in his mind were immediately solved.
Why is it that An Ye has been on the list for two months, but there is very little information about him on the forum, and how the other party harvests assets and can be at the top of the list for two consecutive months...
It turns out that this guy is probably cooperating with von Lucius!
The reason why those clowns can grasp the movements of players, carry out large-scale killings, create corpses, and perform human sacrifices is largely due to collusion with top players.
Backed by the resources of powerful indigenous people, he also has a very good understanding of players' behavior patterns, and can even use psychological tactics to induce players to act according to plans...
In this way, the organization created by An Ye is one step ahead of other players and can naturally thrive.
