Chapter 343 Banner: Are You Sick?

If a player team wants to disband, the captain must first propose it, and then it must be approved by the team members.

So, there can only be one explanation for the sudden forced disbanding of their team.

Maljie disappeared.

This incident was too sudden, and it was more sudden for Li Nuo than the outbreak of Cha Bai's logic virus. After all, he was mentally prepared before, but Maljie really had no signs this time.

"No signs..."

On the tarmac of the airport, Li Nuo supported Cha Bai and recalled the scene when he said goodbye to Xing Kai.

"At that time, the ability of [Rescuer] was extracted, and Maljie seemed to be selected..."

"Ah?" Cha Bai was stunned. She was not there at the time, and now she knew it, she felt it was very magical: "Are the mate selection standards of [Rescuer] so strange?"

Li Nuo: "Are you qualified to say this?"

Cha Bai leaned on his shoulder and puffed her cheeks: "Are you mocking me or scolding yourself?"

As he spoke, he supported Cha Bai and took a step to leave the airport area first.

The free hand was still holding the box that Cha Bai carried when he left.

"When Xing Kai left, he clearly stated that the [Rescuer] would recognize people like him as their masters. This news should come from the great guild 'Bahamut's Wrath'. The only person who meets all the prerequisites for Xing Kai's [Rescuer] is Lao Ma, except for one thing he didn't... that is... being saved by others..."

"Lao Ma is waiting for others to save him to complete the last step of [identity] inheritance."

The more Li Nuo pondered, the more horrified he felt... Isn't this the plot of Mario saving the princess?

When he thought that Maljie might be equal to the princess, he seemed to have a chaotic feeling of brain bleeding.

Cha Bai didn't feel anything wrong, and asked in a weak tone: "What do you mean... Maljie entered other scripts?"

Li Nuo shook his head, he didn't know, and could only say: "Let's go back first."

While thinking, the two had already entered the lower city of Basel.

Li Nuo raised his chin slightly and looked at the sky above.

He wanted to go to the real world to see if there was Maljie.

"Cha Bai, can you walk by yourself?" Li Nuo asked.

"I can open a portal..." She said with a tired smile: "Don't worry, I still have strength."

"I'll be back soon." With that, Li Nuo disappeared.

After he disappeared, Cha Bai breathed a sigh of relief...

She looked at the box on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and took out the earrings that Maljie made for her.

"Maljie..."

After putting them on, she contacted Mr. Victor who should still be waiting for them in the yard.

"Victor... Can you pick me up..."

"Well... I can't walk anymore."

...

Li Nuo's vision changed in a trance, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his home.

Twenty days have passed since the last time he left.

Unlike before, this time, the script and the real world flow at the same speed.

Even if he returned to reality, the feeling of exhaustion still lingered.

Li Nuo especially wanted to die in bed right now.

He had a sense of fatigue that was tortured by life. To use a very appropriate metaphor, going to bed to plow the land was an overly heavy and unbearable physical labor for him now.

"In a sense, your sudden disappearance, Lao Ma, saved me a few hours later."

Li Nuo had already walked to the table while muttering.

He charged his phone, which had long been out of power, and opened the window while waiting for it to start up.

When his hand was on the handle, Li Nuo was stunned when his pupils saw himself reflected in the glass.

He was stunned for two seconds.

He immediately walked to the bathroom. In front of the mirror, he still had amber snake pupils.

"This..."

Li Nuo picked up the toothbrush, and with his thumb and index finger, the toothbrush broke with a bang.

"After breaking through level 60, the player's physical fitness and some appearance basically inherited the state in the corridor..."

He tried to open his five fingers and summon the ability of the seal.

"The magic can't be used."

He lifted his sleeves, and his left arm was still flesh and blood, not a semi-bionic mechanical hand.

Li Nuo looked at his hand and lost his mind.

He let out a long breath.

Then he faced the mirror and made a wave-collecting action.

"Turtle..."

"Pai..."

"Qi..."

"Gong--!"

He posed for several seconds in front of the mirror, put down his hands, raised his chin, and smiled.

"Finally, I have new motivation..."

Li Nuo looked back and confirmed that no one else saw his "idiot" just now, so he became serious again.

Then, he called Maljie's mobile phone first, but it was turned off, which meant that Ma Ge didn't come back.

Considering that in the "Endless Corridor", some situations of the players will affect reality, such as breaking a hand and breaking an arm in reality, based on this situation, he thought that there was a very small possibility that Maljie's life in reality was rewritten.

So he took out another mobile phone and found the contact information of the group of people wandering on the edge of society.

At the beginning, I relied on the guys in these numbers to apply for Cha Bai's ID card.

Li Nuo swiped the screen of his mobile phone and turned on the computer screen by the way.

"A guy who is good at finding people..."

While he was mumbling to himself, his eyes stopped at a number in the phone shop, he pressed the dial button, and in the few seconds he waited, he clicked on the email of the cartoonist's account.

While waiting, Li Nuo suddenly discovered something...

His mentality seems to be different from before...

In the past, the numbers of the "edgewalkers" stored in this mobile phone were a wild way for him to earn extra money by doing private work, so he always had to rummage around with this mobile phone, and now he has landed on it. dust.

Haven't used it for a long time...

It seems that since the Eternal Life Train, it has been basically no longer used.

"You're still alive, Xiao Nuo."

There was a voice on the other end of the phone, and Li Nuo quickly interrupted his thoughts.

"Brother, please find someone. Marjie, find all his information."

"What's the reward?"

Li Nuo opened the drawer, took out a stack of drawing paper marked "remuneration" from the manuscript, and said: "A total of one hundred and fifty pages of Shizuka Ruining Childhood Series."

"Painting style?"

"Yoshihiro Togashi."

"Isn't that just a draft?"

"It is the most original painting style of Yoshihiro Togashi. He also used to draw H comics."

"No." The other party said firmly: "If you have money, use it to do things."

Li Nuo laughed: "Oh, I'm so poor that I don't even have pants to change, but I still have money..."

"Who are you kidding? Your comics are famous and you still don't have any money?"

"ah?"

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, a record appeared in the mailbox he had clicked on.

[Julie: The short video you left is great. It has become popular in a small area. Although it is probably only popular for a while, the money you made is enough to squander it for a year. 】

Li Nuo picked up his normal mobile phone.

There are several blocked text messages on it, and when you click on them, they are all messages from Julie.

Julie: [According to your wishes, I uploaded the video a week after you lost contact. Please give me a message as soon as possible. If you don’t update it, no one will watch it. 】

Li Nuo remembered...

The script of "Contest for Hegemony" was synchronized with real time, so he recorded a video asking for leave to "go out to collect materials" before leaving.

…

…

The text message continued to scroll down.

Julie: [Li Nuo, are you a bit into the drama? Evaporated? 】

Julie: [Here, you are such a genius. How did you come up with the idea of ​​marketing in this way? 】

Julie: [The company plans to hold a secret celebration banquet for you. You can’t refuse this time. 】

Julie: [Where are the people? 】

Julie: [Really dead? 】

Julie: [Actually, you’re not a bad person...]

Julie: [I'm sorry, I suspected that you would have recovered a long time ago. I wish there would be no disease in hell. 】

"What!" Li Nuo frantically threw his phone on the sofa: "No one is watching when I draw together, everyone thinks I'm going to die, right?"

The eldest brother on the other end of the phone heard Li Nuo's complaint, laughed, and said, "Isn't this normal? People prefer to spend money on topics than their ability. Pity, regret, and fun are all... …”

Li Nuo: "Okay, shut up, brother."

The person on the other side laughed again: "Then let's talk about serious business. The one-time price is 3,000. Looking for people's information is considered illegal business. I have stopped doing it a long time ago."

Li Nuo took a photo of the collector's edition of the H comic and sent it.

"Do you want money or this?"

"this."

Facts have proved that with craftsmanship at hand, you really don’t have to worry about eating.

As he became more and more familiar with Chabai, Li Nuo's ability to draw women became more and more incredible.

Practice brings true knowledge, and he thought that if he were a cartoonist majoring in H comics, he would have gotten into it long ago.

"Marger, huh?"

Li Nuo took the phone and said "hmm", then put the spoiled food in the house into garbage bags and put them in the corridor.

The moment the door was opened, the flower basket at the door fell directly into the room...

Li Nuo stared at this magical scene with dead eyes, and then laughed with relief.

"Found it."

The information was quickly transferred to his mobile phone. He closed the door and sat on the sofa to read.

"Old Ma has lived an ordinary life."

After checking, it was confirmed that Marger's life experience had not been modified, which meant that he had definitely not returned to the real world.

Li Nuo settled the account with the other party and checked how much money was in the bank card.

"One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand..."

“Ten thousand… ten thousand… ten thousand…”

"ah--?"

…

Basel.

night.

The stars in the sky are extremely clear, and from time to time there are colorful auroras changing in the night sky.

Under the jewel-like pure night sky, there is an extremely dilapidated low church.

On the door of the dilapidated church hangs a data text made of iron: Wrath of Bahamut.

In the prayer room inside the church.

Lillian placed the magic crystal on the table.

Reciting a spell, the data flow of [Critical One] slowly came out of the magic crystal, and Lilian held it in her hand.

"never mind."

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the ability of [Critical One].

"Why don't you want it anymore?" Yinye asked from the side.

Lilian's pupils turned to the dilapidated statue in the church and said: "Originally [Critical One] took away the ability because he was dead, so it was incomplete and of little use... Besides."

"Know your future in advance. Who knows whether that future is a trap deliberately set by fate for you, just like Croyd."

"Assuming that he didn't pay too much attention to the future of [Remnant Blood Man] and [Questor], but only focused on himself, some things might not have happened, including his death."

That’s it…

Lilian thought like this, and put the [Magic Crystal] that recorded a small amount of [Critical Person]'s abilities into her lower body and stored it.

"What's next?" Innie said uneasily: "That [Focuser]... is quite powerful."

"[Focuser], are you talking about 2B?"

"Um."

"She doesn't care. The difficult thing to deal with is the [Remnant Blood Man]." Lilian licked her lips: "I haven't seen a brainy barbarian berserker for a long time, and he looks very good."

Yine sneered, as their president, they like men who look like "young men".

He asked: "Do you want to take him in?"

"Impossible~" Lilian said: "He is too dangerous. Our first target, who is also the only [rescuer] of the 'Endless Corridor', is probably his teammate now."

Lilian's beautiful eyes looked at the magic crystal in her hand.

"You also know...the person whose [identity] is absorbed will be erased due to data confusion. Unless he can find a new life identity within a day, he will have a narrow escape."

She paused.

"In this case, [the one with residual blood] will definitely not agree."

A player walked in outside the house. He scratched the door frame and said with a smile: "Apart from his many tricks, he is not that dangerous. I heard he is a very easy-going person?"

"Don't underestimate your opponent, you idiot."

Lillian smiled softly.

"There is a kind of person who is very easy-going no matter what he does. He often takes the initiative to suffer when getting along with others. Is it because they are stupid? No, this is just so that they can feel at ease when they kill you when you don't give them face."

The player who came in looked at Inne and asked, "Is it that exaggerated?"

Yinni nodded: "Almost..."

Lilian said: "Anyway, everyone has been working hard recently. After getting some rest, the next goal is to recover the [Rescuer]. By the way, how are the things that I asked you to help investigate?"

The player who came in said: "The guy who might be the [Rescuer] is hard to find. The 'Fifth Detective Guild' is affiliated to an aboriginal fraud organization. The president named Wenke is an old fox, and because of a man named Li Nuo’s guy, Wen Ke won’t dare to contact players in the near future, and there won’t be any progress in the investigation.”

As he spoke, the player shrugged his shoulders: "We need some media to find where the [Relief] went..."

He took out a remote control that looked like a game console.

[Dog Nose Checker: Find the target location through the target’s landmarks]

Innie said: "A player's symbol is nothing more than weapons, equipment or elemental skills. It is not difficult to spend more time."

In fact, as long as they find some shit to put on their heads, they will soon find Marjie's position, but they are not innovative and bold enough to build on the past and forge ahead.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the house.

Lillian heard the sound and walked out of the prayer room.

In the dilapidated hall, behind the crooked chairs and outside the gate, stood a believer in red.

The place of Basel itself is the stage of "The End of Eternity".

Religion exists in this worldview. Since this place became the gathering place for players in the "Endless Corridor", many things in the original world have been wiped out, but some special things have still been retained, such as the religious system among the aborigines. But this has little to do with players.

The cultist handed Lillian a letter.

"The Archbishop wants you to take a good look."

Lillian opened the envelope, and the content that jumped out in front of her eyes was very simple:

——"Please try not to touch them."

[Special BUFF: "Bahamut's Wrath" and "Fifth Detective Guild" players are mutually exclusive, difficult to encounter again in the script, lasts three to six months]

Lilian held the letter and pinned it in place with an expressionless expression.

Yine read the content in the letter and guessed it, and asked curiously: "What benefits have [the blood-residual ones] given to the aboriginal people?"

"The person who wrote the letter is not an Aboriginal person."

Lilian closed her eyes as she spoke, and a data-like figure that she had seen before popped into her mind.

"It was you who did it behind my back, King."

…

In another splendid Holy See, the archbishop in red was packed with seats like a maggot-like body. He looked at the man in front of him and nodded.

"Karl, it's done for you."

"Thanks."

"You haven't seen me for a long time, just to send a message, Karl?"

The king named Carl Ellimond showed a smile and said: "You also know that I have a special status and cannot directly contact my kind. That's why I ask you to help spread a message. Please don't worry, at least within half a year. I won’t bother you anymore, after all, the letter is valid for half a year.”

Archbishop: "It seems that you used the authority that only you can touch for others?"

King: "If someone helps me, I just give you a gift in return."

The archbishop nodded in agreement: "Reciprocity is also a recipe for disaster..."

"That's what you said." The king turned around and walked out, waving his hand and leaving a message: "I also sent a lot of thank-you gifts to those tigers. Those goods should be arriving soon..."

…

Li Nuo returned to the "Endless Corridor" and landed outside the airship landing pad where he left here not long ago.

Twenty minutes later, he returned to the space. The moment he opened the courtyard door, he heard the voice from the system:

[5900 players, exceeded lv60]

[Rule Update Unlock]

[1. The script can no longer be entered freely. From now on, the interval between players' scripts will be irregular]

There is a yellow exclamation mark under the status bar.

[If you have a ticket for a fixed location, you can change the terminal location during the script train]

[Based on your previous accumulated script performance, the next script entry time will be randomly ranked. You will be notified one week in advance. The interval between each script ranges from one month to one year]

Li Nuo frowned: "One year is enough for a young pioneer to mistakenly evolve into an early pregnant girl."

[Second, due to the instability of the script entry cycle, you can also use the method of "friends" or "same guild" to invite the filming schedule]

[Third, the monthly gold coin amount is increased to 4,000. If there is no script to do that month, you can get a chance to work in "Basel" to earn gold coins]

[Fourth, players still cannot fight in the Basel area, but they can see each other]

[Five. Because of the weakening of digital protection, your abilities will also change in reality (30% of your body data can be released in the reality you are in)]

[For more details, open a membership with a minimum of 10 gold coins/day, view the full content>]

"Okay, I won't learn."

When Li Nuo closed the panel, he had already entered the courtyard of the space.

Then he saw a magical scene...

Cha Bai sat on the old man's chair, looking confused.

A Basel staff member stood in front of her.

The staff member held a banner in his hand...

It was the kind of red banner that served as both wallpaper and murals in the office.

On one side of the banner was written: "Endless Corridor to the Fifth Detective Guild".

And in the middle of the banner was written: You made me stand up again in the vast sea of ​​people, and I am grateful that you are the pillars of the future.

Li Nuo: "Are you sick?"
