Chapter 245 You don't want to disappoint the Tiandi brothers, do you? (Subscribe~)

People turn into sand after death?

Aren't those ashes?

Is the whole Wailing Desert made of ashes? ?

Looking at the kind-hearted old lady, Xia Ling suddenly got goose bumps.

It's not fear, but a kind of chill. She felt uncomfortable when she thought that she was half buried in ashes twice.

Gu Chi pulled the girl's hand and signaled that she was fine.

This is not real ashes, but the form is closer. Grabbing a handful in the hand can feel the delicate and dry granular texture, with a smell of dust. Even if they were flesh and blood before, they have now become a handful of yellow sand. There is no strange smell, so don't think about it.

"Do many people die here every year?" Xia Leng asked.

"Yes, every year." The old woman said, "But people will die when they are alive, there is nothing strange about it."

Xia Leng: "Then why are there so many people in the town?"

There is not a single empty room, and people live in every house.

"If someone leaves, of course someone will come." The old woman raised her arm to wipe the sweat, and said with a smile: "Look, you are here, aren't you?"

Xia Ling: "???"

This remark was too suggestive. Xia Ling was a little wary after hearing about the ashes. Now that he saw that the old woman was hinting at something, his heart suddenly went on the alert. He took out a dagger at once, protected Gu Chi behind him, and stared at the old woman, as if he had to respect the old and love the young if something was wrong.

But the old woman did not make any attacking moves, nor did she care about the two daggers flashing with cold light in Xia Ling's hands. She just smiled and shook her head, and continued to sweep the floor.

She walked to the street with a hunched body, and the broom swept across the uneven road surface, making a slight "swish" sound.

But there was no sand on the ground.

The more Xia Ling thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "If we don't have divinity, and the bells rang as usual last night, should they sweep our ashes today?"

Is the Sand Sweeping Festival a festival for players?

"It's hard to say." Gu Chi didn't remember any dungeon that was set only for players, and said: "It's possible that they would die when they heard the bells."

It's just that the bells didn't ring for some reason, so these NPCs survived-it's not certain whether they are all alive now.

No one died in Town No. 1, but we won't know the situation in other towns until we go there.

"Let's go around and see." Xia Leng said.

Gu Chi nodded: "Yeah."

In theory, with such a large urban area and hundreds of thousands of NPCs, there should be a lot of clues, but the result is just the opposite. They spent most of the day searching all ten towns, and secretly went to some NPCs' homes to search again, but they didn't get any valuable information.

These NPCs will chat with players and talk about family matters, but when it comes to key topics, they don't know anything.

Or they will say something ambiguous like an old woman.

The residents of the town only regard the bell as a timekeeping tool. They don't even know that this world is a prison specially designed to imprison them. They even think that their lives are pretty good, just getting by, and having a feeling of being indifferent to life and death and enjoying their old age.

"No wonder Old Li and his team couldn't open the mission after playing so many times before." Gu Chi sighed.

Not to mention that they are under pressure from the bell and don't have enough time, even if they have enough time, they can't ask too many questions.

The NPCs in each town are sweeping the sand, sweeping for a whole day, and the moss and dirt on the road are all cleaned up by them.

One or two people sweeping the floor means that they love cleanliness. People sweeping the floor in a town means that the town has a good atmosphere and a strong environmental awareness, and can be evaluated for excellence, but if everyone is sweeping the floor, the picture style is a bit weird-especially if there is no sand on the ground, there is no sand in ten towns.

If there is no sand on the Sand Sweeping Festival, what's the point of sweeping?

Customs and culture?

In the afternoon, the weather became hotter and hotter.

This is what happens when you stay in the desert for too long. Some people bring props that can measure the temperature. The temperature has not changed much compared to yesterday, but it is inexplicably hot and irritating.

Fortunately, Cheye Nanhuan and Yemaohan are well prepared. There are many players with water skills in the logistics team, who can get water at any time. Otherwise, you have to find NPCs when you are thirsty.

At about four o'clock, everyone returned to the square of Town No. 1 to gather again.

Today everyone "got up early", and the census operation ended a few hours ahead of schedule, which was very efficient.

There are two teams that are far away and have not returned yet, but it does not affect their communication first.

Cheye Nanhuan gathered the team leaders and asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"

"Today is the Sand Sweeping Festival." Old Li said, "But there is no sand."

Chencheng couldn't wake up: "What a coincidence, I am also doing the Sand Sweeping Festival."

Ye Maohan: "I even borrowed a broom and swept it twice, but I didn't feel anything special."

Li Li 39 said inexplicably: "Are you all sweeping sand?"

The second-hand dealer took out something like an ancient celestial globe, but it was very small, the sphere was transparent, and a stone slab was embedded horizontally inside.

"I found this thing, I don't know what it is used for." The second-hand dealer said.

The killer was not very cold and said, "I also took one of this thing, I have it in many rooms over there."

Cheye Nanhuan took it and looked at it, and asked, "What about the others?"

The second-hand dealer: "Sweeping sand."

The killer was not very cold: "Sweeping sand."

Cheye Nanhuan: "..."

Well, he also sweeps sand.

It seems that the clues for the first stage are hidden in the sand sweeping festival and this small transparent celestial globe.

Enough is actually enough since they are now in "god mode".

The goal of the first phase is to "destroy the Dark City".

The goal of the second stage is to "find the old kingdom of God".

Originally, they should have started the first stage of the task based on the clues, completed the task, and then obtained the clues of the second stage, and repeated this until the level was cleared.

But now they have known the task content in advance through another method, and their thinking method has inevitably changed from forward thinking to backward thinking.

All night long, he didn't want to worry about the City of Darkness and the Kingdom of God. Yesterday, he refused to let Gu Chi say it was because of this. He wanted to rely on himself.

But it turns out that he can never rely on himself.

People will always subconsciously think in the right direction. The concepts of Dark City and Old Kingdom of God have been engraved in his mind. He can't completely stop thinking about it, which makes the entire first stage of the game difficult. It drops sharply and completely loses the sense of accomplishment and fun of deciphering.

"Aren't you surprised why the town is full of people?" Chengcheng asked.

Xia Leng had asked this question before, but she had already figured it out.

"These NPCs are a bit strange," the second-hand dealer said. "They slept together yesterday and swept the floor together today. They are like a bunch of programmed robots. They work at the right time and rest at the right time."

But they are indeed living people, with natural emotions and joys. When he went to steal the celestial globe, he was chased for several streets by the owner, scolding him.

"They should all be real people." Old Li Tou said. He was quite confident in this judgment.

I couldn't be happy all night long: "So sure?"

Old Li Tou said seriously: "Because they will blush."

Everyone: "..."

So what exactly are you using to spy on information?

Strength 39 said: "I agree with Old Li Tou, this place is not like the horizon."

In other words, it’s not like the technological world.

The fact that bells can turn people into yellow sand is full of metaphysics inside and out, and the residents in the town believe in gods. This is information that has been obtained before. You only need to ask: "Aren't you afraid of the bugs outside? "

The answer was always the same: "God will bless us."

Not even a single god.

Power 39 can only be known through the jailer, there must be a god of violence here.

Of course, it is not impossible for gods and technology to coexist. Morning Star has this trend.

Qi Ye Nan Huan sighed: "I give up. Anyway, we have obtained the clue points. Let's go directly to the third stage."

Chengcheng: "Huh?"

Chu Liuxiang was confused: "It's just a ball and a sand sweeping festival. Are you sure you have enough?"

Not to mention getting 100% of the clue points, you must at least be able to deduce the goal of the first stage, right?

I couldn't rejoice all night long: "It can already be pushed out."

Chu Liuxiang: "?"

It was hard to rejoice all night long: "Didn't Chengcheng just say that the number of people was wrong?"

"It's indeed wrong." Chengcheng said, "Didn't you notice that there are no children in the town?"

If there are no children, it means that there is no option to "grow up". If one dies, one will be missing. If the sand in this desert is really full of ashes, then who knows how many people have died. This town should have been empty for a long time. How is it possible? Is every room occupied?

The second-hand dealer seemed to understand something: "So there must be someone replenishing ashes resources for these towns regularly?"

Looking through the smoke: "Then where do these people come from?"

It’s hard to rejoice all night long: “It’s a dark city.”

The correct answer is of course not the City of Darkness, but the Kingdom of the Old Gods.

But as long as they analyze this place, they will definitely search the Wailing Desert again to see where they can hide people.

If you can't find it during the day, then look for it at night. Sooner or later you will find the Dark City.

As long as you enter the Dark City, you should be able to start the first phase of the mission.

And 80% of the Dark City has any connection with the Old Kingdom of God. If the city is destroyed by them, the Old Kingdom of God will react. At this time, they will find that the Dark City is the wrong answer and cannot solve the question "Where do people come from?" "This question will inevitably continue to be searched, just in time to meet the jailer who came to check the situation.

The ideal result is to capture him alive, extract some information from the jailer, and start the second phase of the mission.

It doesn't matter if they can't ask, because once they meet the jailer, "where do people come from" becomes "where does the jailer come from". They can completely follow the clues and find out where the jailer came from. The mission is still "???" complete the task.

Combined with this strange celestial sphere, as well as the simple guess that "the ancient kingdom of God was buried under the sand" and the appearance of "the jailer emerged from the sand", it is easy to think that this world is not a sphere, but the true meaning The sky is round and the place is round.

One side of the stone slab in the middle of the celestial globe represents the Wailing Desert, and the other side represents the old kingdom of God.

The strategy process for the first and second stages is probably like this.

Gu Chi, who had been silent until now, was suddenly shocked: "You are so smart!"

Chengcheng almost laughed out loud. She knew that Gu Chi had already sorted everything out, so she suppressed her laughter and repeated, "You are so smart!"

Everyone: "You are so smart!"

It’s hard to rejoice all night long: “…”

So smart!

All this reasoning is based on already knowing the mission objectives.

In other words, Gu Chi is like a teacher who asks a question, tells them the answer, and then lets them do the math on their own.

Is this difficult?

There is no difficulty at all!

Not only is there no difficulty in deciphering, the exploration and combat processes are also omitted.

You must know that not a single brick in the Dark City can be touched. Entering the city cautiously in the middle of the night will be very thrilling no matter what you do. Once you successfully complete the task, you will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment, but the fact is that Yes, they were led by Gu Chi, who passed the first two stages lying down...

Although it was very relaxing, it didn't stop Nan Huan from looking at Gu Chi with a resentful look all night long.

That look in her eyes was like that of an unsatisfied little resentful woman.

All night long, I felt that my happiness had been stolen by Gu Chi.

Gu Chi coughed lightly: "Personally, I think it's more important to clear the level."

This matter cannot be blamed on him. It is purely a deliberate mistake in the copy. Didn't he also lose the joy of decrypting it?

It’s all Xiao Poyou’s fault!

"So he is right?" Chengcheng asked Gu Chi.

Gu Chi: "Yeah."

Almost like ten.

This is why he told Xia Ling to sleep under the bed yesterday.

This world is a very strange "board". They are on top, the Kingdom of the Old God is on the bottom, and the gravity on both sides is towards the ground.

Just digging out the sand is not enough, you have to penetrate the "bottom shell".

For a group of top players, this shouldn't be difficult, but they don't know the corresponding relationship between the sections of the Wailing Desert and the Kingdom of the Old God. If they accidentally dig into the face of the Shadow of the Old God, they will die suddenly if they go down. , so the safest way is to find the passage through which the jailer came - this should also be one of the "clues" in the first two stages.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Chengcheng was eager to give it a try, "Go, go, go!"

So everyone didn't eat dinner. When the last two teams came back, the whole group followed Gu Chi to the place where the jailer appeared yesterday.

Just dig right in!

Hundreds of people each found a position, six or seven meters apart from each other, like a large square array. They waved their tools and dug a big hole in this area in a few clicks.

The sand accumulated outside the pit turned into small sand dunes visible to the naked eye, and the sand surface in the pit became lower and lower.

After all, there are only a few people who care about the gaming experience like Qi Ye Nan Huan, and they agree more with Gu Chi’s point of view.

Just kidding, how is the game experience as important as the first pass?

At this juncture, players across the country are paying close attention to Dust Death Knell, and the official has even issued a reward. If they can pass the level this time, they will be named on the gold list on the spot.

We are all players in the first tier, and with the SS first-pass titles and rewards, who can’t help but respectfully call them “big boss”?

Isn't this much more comfortable than the so-called wasteland experience?

For example, Power 39 and Chengcheng have already looked away.

Have they had any gaming experience since they met Gu Chi?

No, it doesn't exist.

They can only become Gu Chi's gaming experience.

It's better to lie down and wait for Father Heaven to take them flying.

"Hey, I seem to have found a passage. Come and take a look!"

Soon, a female player shouted excitedly.

She put wind magic on the spear and attached a spiral wind blade to the tip of the spear. It was more like drilling than digging. The speed was several times faster than the others. The boy next to her only dug two or three meters deep. , she was almost drilling out of a well. Everyone only heard her voice, but no one was seen.

Everyone gathered around to take a look, only to find that the girl with a yellow face was climbing up quickly to avoid falling into the passage.

The bottom of the "well" is still filled with sand, but this layer of sand is very thin, and it is vaguely visible that there is a round smooth crystal surface buried underneath.

Waves of light flowed on the crystal surface, emitting a shimmering light, like a crystal ball that had been flattened.

"Good job." Cheye Nanhuan patted the female player's shoulder and praised her.

Chengcheng leaned over and said, "It seems a bit narrow?"

The entrance to the passage is not much bigger than a manhole cover. Even if it is vertically placed, only a few people can pass through it at a time.

"This should be the portal on the mysterious side, right?" The second-hand dealer looked at the crystal surface and pondered, "It has been added with a screening spell to block the sand, so it can only pass people but not sand?"

If it is a passage in the physical sense, it is too small. There are hundreds of thousands of residents in the town, and they come up one by one. It will not take a year or two to replenish a wave of ashes?

"You'll know after you try it." Cheye Nanhuan said. He looked at Gu Chi, "Are you coming?"

There is probably someone guarding the other side of the portal. Among the thousand of them, only Gu Chi has the ability to clear the way.

"There is no need to trouble my brother, the Emperor of Heaven." Old Li Tou said, "Let the force 39 go!"

Power 39: "?"

The Heavenly Emperor brothers are brothers, but the Jiuer brothers are not brothers, right?

Old Li Toule said: "Look at what you're dressed like, aren't you going back to report the news?"

One came out before, and now one returns, just in time to sneak into the enemy's territory.

Gu Chi was also happy. Why didn't he think of this?

Think carefully for two seconds, this is most likely a serious strategy.

Power 39: "?"

"Repay your sister, I look different from him."

"This is simple."

Gu Chi snapped his fingers and said, "Change."

"Uh-huh!"

Strength 39 immediately had several black tattoos on his face, and his appearance also changed, highlighting a wild and violent person, almost exactly the same as yesterday's jailer.

Power 39: "???"

Old Li was overjoyed: "Look, Brother Tiandi has personally helped you, how dare you refuse?"

"Since ancient times, undercover agents have always been the first to make contributions, and they deserve their share."

"Besides, you don't want to disappoint Brother Tiandi, do you?"

"Stop talking, let's go!"

Old Li kicked Strength 39 down.

Boom!

Strength 39 roared from the bottom of the well.

"Old dog Li, your uncle!"
