Chapter 468 Ordinary Player
There is a station in the lower area of Basel.
There are only a few people on the platform, so sparse that it seems like this area is haunted.
There is only one train passing through here every day, and the terminal is the cemetery in the middle area.
Sunny day.
The sun is soothing.
The cemetery is peaceful.
There is a new grave, and no one is buried in it.
A young man stood in front of the tombstone. He heard footsteps behind him and turned his head.
The demon hunter wearing a felt hat came from the cemetery with a cane, looking around, and finally looked at this tombstone.
"Li Nuo."
"Yes, Chen Yanhui."
Chen Yanhui stretched out his hand to shake hands, but Li Nuo ignored him and put his hands in his pockets and passed by.
"Just buried?"
"Well, the burial happened in the morning. I am..." Chen Yanhui put away his hand and said, "I am Su Mei's teammate. According to the list of her friends, I found about dozens of people, but you are the only one who came."
"She is not very popular." Li Nuo half-jokingly, his eyes fixed on the name "Su Mei" on the tombstone and the photo of the double ponytail.
"That's pretty good." Chen Yanhui looked around: "Eleven people were buried. The only ones who came to see them off were the natives. The players didn't have the time to come."
Li Nuo was curious: "I just found out that players can have a cemetery here."
In fact, it's just a superficial job.
After the players die, everything in reality is erased. The only people who can remember their lives are the players and the natives, as well as the worlds they have experienced.
The grave is also a decoration, because wherever the players die, dust returns to dust.
Chen Yanhui said: "It costs several thousand gold coins to bury a player. When a player dies, his teammates have the right to inherit, but they can only get one tenth. We have accumulated enough gold coins to bury more than a dozen people."
"You are the only one left?"
"Yes, they are all dead."
"My condolences."
"Thank you."
Chen Yanhui laughed dully and said: "You can come, which means you have a good relationship with Su Mei."
"What if I have nothing to do?" Li Nuo shrugged.
The reason for coming is very simple.
The first time I met Su Mei was "NieR", and they didn't have much friendship at that time.
The second time was "Cyberpunk", and Su Mei helped him at that time.
There was no intersection after that.
Not a friend, nor an ally, at most a person who had cooperated.
Li Nuo looked at the tombstone, feeling mixed emotions.
When he was a child, he originally thought that he would die first, but who knew that he would attend many funerals, and after going around in circles, his own funeral was nowhere in sight.
After all, he is an old friend, and he doesn't need to pay for it. It won't shorten his life if he sends him off. Besides, he thinks the inviter may have something to do.
Li Nuo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it for himself.
He took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and then squatted down to stick the cigarette on Su Mei's grave.
"I just remembered that she likes to smoke, and I didn't prepare anything else."
Li Nuo put the cigarette box on the ground.
"Thank you for coming."
Chen Yanhui turned his head and saw another person.
Nanami was wearing a black long skirt: "Look, I found something, the non-smoking demon hunter actually smoked."
Li Nuo stood up: "You have a chest pad."
Nanami ignored him and walked towards Chen Yanhui. The girl's usual expression of beating people up suddenly became gentle.
"Sorry, I have something to do, and I just found time to come."
Nanami bowed.
She has a say in how to face the death of her deceased loved ones more than anyone else. War orphans have attended countless "funerals", which may not include the funerals of their own parents.
"Surprisingly, the idol has time to come here to buy a tombstone?"
Li Nuo teased.
Nanami touched her hair and squinted.
"After the script of "Cyberpunk", Su Mei always came to Wenk's bar. I have a good relationship with her. Speaking of which, this elder sister still owes me a sum of wine money."
Li Nuo kindly reminded: "You can commit suicide and go to the underworld to collect the debt."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. My country pays attention to heaven and hell." Nanami looked at Chen Yanhui and raised the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, she won't ask you for the money she owes."
As she spoke, Nanami picked up the cigarette box that Li Nuo had thrown away, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. After lighting it, she took a deep breath and stuck it on the grave.
"Okay, we're done."
Li Nuo hooked Nanami's shoulder, said "let's go", and turned to walk out of the cemetery.
Chen Yanhui looked at the two people's backs with some hesitation. How could he call people to worship for no reason? The "Fifth Detective Guild" is a big name in the ears of players. There was a demon hunter who killed a high-dimensional demon there. It is said that there was also a poster girl who blocked a team of "End Corridor" alone. Even a big guild like "Bahamut's Wrath" was watching them.
"Wait, wait..."
Chen Yanhui called them.
Li Nuo and Nanami turned their heads. The two of them were arm in arm. There was no difference between men and women. They were like two brothers.
"I guess this guy has a conspiracy. Otherwise, he could just give a message in private. Why let the players who may have hostile relations meet each other."
Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes.
Nanami gently elbowed his chest.
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I didn't expect it."
"I forgot that your brain is as small as your chest."
"Get lost!"
These two are not decent.
Li Nuo's cane tapped the ground.
"Why are you looking for us? What's the reward?"
Chen Yanhui straightened up this time.
"Do you want to hear about our experience?"
"No."
Li Nuo was about to leave, but Nana stopped him.
"Listen."
"Not interested."
"Listen to the story." Chen Yanhui said: "I don't think I can live beyond the two scripts... Su Mei said that she knows a few powerful guys, but they are not from the same group and cannot travel together."
Nanami said, "Just tell us no."
Li Nuo glared at us and said, "How can he know if he doesn't see a real person? Su Mei probably hasn't told us what kind of people we are."
Chen Yanhui wears glasses, and there is a layer of data on the lenses that only he can see, that is, the data of Li Nuo and Nanami.
But both of them used the skill of lowering the data panel, and the detection device was ineffective against them.
Chen Yanhui could only believe what he saw.
"I know the name of the 'Fifth Detective Guild'. You can easily get close to it anywhere."
"Is it because of that old bastard Wink?"
Li Nuo smiled.
Wink's reputation as an old fox is so bad that players don't want to have anything to do with him. What's more, the system has prompted players who are close to Wink more than once, indicating that the "Fifth Detective Guild" is essentially a fraud group, and all information related to this guild has been Can be considered false propaganda.
"Tell me about it."
Nanami sat casually on a tombstone, looking like she was doing nothing.
Seeing this, Chen Yanhui said: "We are [invaders], entering the 'End Corridor'. The opponent's level is more than ten levels lower than ours, but his mind and ability crush us."
Li Nuo touched his chin: "'Finally'... You are so unlucky that you went to the most difficult corridor."
"We didn't want to provoke others, and becoming an [intruder] was just an accident." Chen Yanhui paused, thinking about the past, and then raised his head and said: "After entering the script, our captain met the opponent's team, and the players of 'Final Yan' did not give any When we had a chance to leave, they killed our people one by one like they were playing tricks on us. Eleven of the twelve people in the team died, and I was the only one alive. "
Li Nuo: "Kill him?"
Chen Yanhui: "Literally."
"What about Su Mei?" Nanami hesitated, feeling that she couldn't continue asking. After all, they were old acquaintances.
Chen Yanhui: "The bullet penetrated the heart."
Li Nuo nodded: "It's a happy death."
Chen Yanhui didn't answer, although it was true.
"'Final End' is too strong. I hope you two and your friends will stay away as much as possible."
Li Nuo and Nanami were both stunned.
Chen Yanhui took out a small notebook, crossed out Li Nuo's and others' names on it, and nodded: "Yes, I brought the words. One of Su Mei's last words was to tell the 'good players' of the past as a lesson about her death." "
Li Nuo: "Ah...haha..."
Nanami looked at him.
"Haha, hahahahaha!"
Li Nuo smiled happily in front of Su Mei's grave.
"Damn it! He turns out to be a kind person!"
"Don't worry, he's sick," Nanami said.
Li Nuo pressed Nanami's shoulders and said with a smile: "Do you have any clues? I mean the clues of the murderer."
Chen Yanhui: "What you are referring to..."
Li Nuo said: "I don't think you are just playing devil's advocate, but just a big brother with good intentions. Let me pretend to be a retard and believe you, so give us a clue to the murderer, and we will avoid it next time."
Chen Yanhui was obviously not prepared.
Li Nuo took out paper and pen and said, "Give me some features and I'll draw them."
The human flesh scanner was activated, and within five minutes, a profile picture close to a photo was drawn.
Li Nuo folded the portrait and stuffed it into his clothes.
"Okay, can we go?"
Chen Yanhui nodded and lowered his eyelids.
"Sorry to bother you two."
In fact, he just wanted to see if Su Mei's friend was a "good person". If he was a good person, he would give him a reminder. If he was not a good person, he would treat it as a tribute.
"There is a man named Sauron. Go to him and introduce him as 'that bastard demon hunter'. If you are capable, follow him. If you are not, you will fend for yourself."
Chen Yanhui looked over after hearing the sound.
There was silence all around.
He turned around, looked at the graves of his teammates again, took off his glasses, and saluted.
The air felt as if someone was holding it tightly, and after a while, someone was sobbing in the cemetery.
…
[World war announced results]
[High division, first place: Endless Corridor]
[Middle Division, First Place: Corridor of Death]
[Low division, first place: Endless Corridor]
On the bus.
Nanami put away the unified announcement and turned to look at Li Nuo who was sitting in the car chair.
"If you leave later, you can show off in front of that Chen Yanhui."
"Ah, what a pity."
Li Nuo was absent-minded.
"Nanami, brother didn't give me any commission just now, did he?"
"You don't have to help Su Mei get revenge."
"Without a commission, of course I don't need to do anything." Li Nuo paused and said, "Making an agreement with the player is a stupid thing to do. There is no stability in the script. As a player, you don't know what is going on outside. Making a promise with a stranger is a stupid thing." When you make a promise, the so-called agreement has already drifted with the wind to a place that you can't touch in your life. "
Nanami covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, great poet."
Li Nuo: "Cartoonist."
Nanami smiled evilly: "You plan to help Su Mei get revenge, right?"
Li Nuo didn't answer, but he could use the decoction to seduce Phil and let that guy attack the people in his corridor. Anyway, the guys in "End" will do anything to achieve their goals, which is an advantage but also a fatal weakness that can be controlled.
"At the time of "NieR", if it weren't for me, Su Mei and the others should have been killed by the [Invaders] of the "Eternal Corridor". To put it bluntly, it was a..."
Li Nuo made a circle with his hands.
"Reincarnation."
"Damn people, they escaped once, but they can't escape two or three times?" Nanami asked stupidly.
Li Nuo sneered and pretended to guess without answering, which made Nanami crazy. In fact, her answer was right.
The bus shook and stopped at a certain block platform. The natives got off the bus. Nanami found an empty seat and sat behind Li Nuo.
"Wen Ke and I saw something."
On the way, Nanami explained clearly what she and Wen Ke saw the image of the "King".
Li Nuo thought of the image of the manager that Cha Bai had seen in the "threshold" of "vaporwave".
"Anything else?"
"Nothing else." Nanami curled her lips and squinted: "The guy's voice has been processed, some things can't be heard, and Wenke can't hear it either."
"Then don't think about it." Li Nuo guessed in his heart that "the king" was paying attention to him, and may have been paying attention to him for a long time. He asked: "Are you going back to Wenke?"
Nanami nodded: "Yes."
Li Nuo: "I'll go too."
He planned to talk to Wenke. Before entering the script, he, Wenke and the staff member had a verbal agreement on how to expand Wenke's fraud business.
However, there was another thing that might happen, and Li Nuo felt it necessary to go and deal with it.
In less than two minutes, the car left the dilapidated alley.
Nanami took out the key and walked towards Wenke's bar.
"Wenke and I read your script for two days. After coming out, I found that after two days, the time was chaotic. This place is really weird."
Li Nuo widened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Nanami turned around and asked.
"This key..." Li Nuo said: "Wen Ke is so smart that he will never give you the key."
"My home is here!"
"Ha, you have a home now."
Li Nuo followed.
Nanami was a little unhappy.
Li Nuo asked: "You and Wen Ke really became Dr. Agasa and Huiyuan?"
Nanami: "Yes, yes, thanks to you."
Nanami almost forgot that Li Nuo originally placed her here to prevent Wen Ke.
"If Wen Ke treats you as his own girl, Maljie's position will be bad."
Nanami smiled with dimples: "Yes, he hates that bastard surnamed Ma."
"You can be the second one." Li Nuo said with a double entendre.
Nanami inserted the key into the keyhole, and heard this, her hand suddenly stopped, she turned around and looked at Li Nuo seriously.
"Li Nuo, at least I still think of myself as a person, not a piece of paper that will stick its butt out for people to poke at if you give it a little benefit."
"Well, sorry." Li Nuo reminded her: "You plan to be an advertising idol, and sooner or later you will become a paper man."
Nanami gritted her teeth: "You are so annoying..."
Click, the door opened.
Wen Ke sat on the sofa chair, and looked unhappy when he saw Li Nuo.
"Take a look at this thing."
Wen Ke knocked on the table.
There were two letters on the table.
Li Nuo strode over and picked up the letter.
——"Wrath of Bahamut, invitation letter."
——"Anti-Science Alliance, invitation letter."
"When was it delivered?" Nanami was curious: "These two are considered the largest guilds in the Endless Corridor, right?"
Wink said: "Not five minutes after you left, they almost squeezed in through the crack of the door."
The old fox looked at Li Nuo and said: "I hope to receive the letter from the 'Fifth Detective Guild'. I don't understand the acquisition content given. Only you players can see it..."
As soon as the last word came out, Wenke saw Li Nuo click on the letter.
"Hey... take a look!"
Li Nuo threw the burning letter into the trash can.
"Not interested."
