Chapter 174: Puzzle 9
Duke Herman's mansion is quite large, Du Zifang and Ren Liansong took a picture of an invisibility amulet for themselves, and walked outside slowly. Originally, Du Zifang was afraid that Ren Liansong would have been confused for such a long time and would want to take a break, but Ren Liansong said that now they have no time to rest.
Seeing Ren Liansong's determined expression, Du Zifang nodded. Ren Liansong is right, now every day passes, their situation is a little more dangerous. What's even more terrifying is that now they still don't know what the enemy in the dark is, which is really terrifying. The props and equipment on the body are still being consumed. If you don't do something to break through this dilemma, then it is very likely...
Going around the garden, the sound of singing, dancing and laughter continued faintly from the hall not far away. This is the norm in this city, and ordinary people outside have no money to find places such as taverns to be happy. And the nobles like to hold balls. One after another, women show off their clothes and jewelry at the ball, while men show off their status and rights, and they are not nutritious anyway.
Du Zifang and Ren Liansong have both attended these dances. When they were confused, they felt that the clothes and temples were very happy. Now that they wake up, they just feel tired and boring. The two planned to go out to check the situation, but seeing the dance, they had other ideas.
What are you going to do outside?
Could most of the commoners outside know more than these nobles?
The two thought about it and looked at each other. Ren Liansong took Du Zifang directly to Duke Herman's study. Because Ren Liansong was the new favorite of Duke Herman during this period, and he was about to live on the title, so he was a diligent person in the study, and he was familiar with it.
The strength of the guards guarding the door of the study is really a joke, and only two guards were sent to guard here. Ren Liansong and Du Zifang solved the problem very neatly. But after searching around in the study, they found nothing about the city except for some so-called secrets.
The two of them were naturally disappointed because of their unfavorable apprenticeship. After all, if they couldn’t find anything in this Duke Herman, they could only go to the prince to have a look. Although apprenticeship was unfavorable, they were an old man who had gone through a lot of dungeons. Immediately adjust your mood. Get out of the study and start planning again. They had just walked to the corridor outside the study, and were about to leave but were stunned. Using the lights of the ball in the main hall, they saw a familiar person walking in tremblingly.
They were all familiar with that person.
Black hair, leather armor, scars all over his body, and a little blood on the corner of his mouth, but now that blood has dried up.
That person is a wind-driven player, and not long ago, he had received a message from him through the witch doll Ren Liansong.
Several young couples who sneaked away from the ball and hid in the garden making out, turned a blind eye to the strangely dressed man with an unfamiliar face. Still doing my own thing. It seems that this person is Du Zifang and Ren Liansong's hallucination.
Du Zifang is very familiar with this situation. A few days ago, the people under his control died and the conch was broken. The night he woke up, the already dead player came to him. It was very difficult for Du Zifang to deal with that person.
Because these dead players seem to have IQ and thinking, and even some props that they put on their bodies for self-defense while they are alive, the dead players can also use them. Using dead players to deal with sober players, I have to say that this method is really vicious.
The higher you go, the more advanced players will find that the boss of the advanced dungeon seems to have a certain understanding of the game. Even advanced players are deliberately targeted, because they can accurately distinguish the strength of the player.
In case the high-ranking players in the dungeon are targeted, they will die early. A group of low-level players and newcomers in the dungeon, isn't that meat on the chopping board, and it's being slaughtered by others?
I don't want to see Ren Liansong in my heart, but Ren Liansong is his only reliable teammate. Du Zifang also gave information about these dead players for free. Unlike Du Zifang, Du Zifang has no feelings for the players under him. But Ren Liansong to this dead player...
Lin You was halfway there, and saw the player in the leather armor walking into the place where the nobles lived. Although the city seems to be happy and peaceful everywhere, there is food and entertainment, singing and dancing are peaceful, but the division between classes is particularly obvious. Therefore, although he is rich, Lin You, who is a commoner in the end, cannot enter the realm where nobles live unless he is invited by nobles.
Looking at the patrolling guards guarding the place where the nobles lived, Lin You gritted his teeth and took out an invisibility charm to use. Keep following that player. Walking, slowly surrounded by places that Lin You are not very familiar with, Lin You subconsciously became nervous.
Moreover, Lin You didn't know if it was her illusion. The gold bricks on the ground seem to be a little white?
"Da da da"
At this time, there were almost no people on the streets in the area where the nobles lived, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly made Lin You care a little bit. Hiding in the grass next to him, he saw that the carriage was actually an acquaintance.
Although not the person in charge of the caravan, it was Lin You who used perfume on him before, the NPC who said those strange words. How could this man be here?
Lin You was puzzled, even if she was in the arena, it didn't mean she didn't know anything. After all, she was not idle during the day. In this city of bliss, all the nobles who have suddenly emerged are players, as for the caravans that entered the city with the players. These people are like the background boards that **** the player to the city of bliss, and after entering the city, they will never be seen again.
But at the moment in the noble district, you can see this npc. This NPC who is full of dreams and talks about winning or losing? It's really fun.
Lin You glanced at the player who was still staggering, hesitantly gave up on him, and instead joined the NPC in the caravan. The carriage was inexplicably faster than a human's legs, and Lin You could only reluctantly determine the direction the carriage was heading. Fortunately, the carriage only stopped and went, so Lin You could barely keep up.
The carriage did not stop until the edge of the noble area. And the originally empty carriage seemed to be filled with something. That person seems to be called Abel, Lin You once heard people in the caravan call him that.
Abel drove the carriage into the courtyard of the two-storey building that was similar to Lin You's current residence, and then parked the carriage. He struggled to lift something from the carriage back and forth. Lin You observed it for a while, and then put an invisibility charm on himself. While the man was still busy, Lin You quietly sneaked into the house. At this time, Abel, who was busy and sweaty, sat panting on the carriage, rested for a while, and then wiped the sweat on his head and resumed his work.
I don't know how long it took. When the carriage was about to be evacuated by Abel, a red kitchen knife was pressed against his neck, and the man seemed to be stunned. He turned around stiffly and looked at the person coming. And then panicked.
"you you……"
Lin You had already used the invisibility charm to go into the house to see what this guy was carrying. They were all the corpses of people in the caravan and players, and there were actually several large boxes of gold in the basement of this small building.
"Surprised to see me? Or, why am I not confused and know you?" Lin You said coldly. He took out the rope he found from the space grid before, and tied the Abel firmly without giving the man a chance to resist.
"No, no, I don't know what you're talking about. Miss Lin You, I think there is a misunderstanding between us..." Hearing Lin You's words, Abel's eyes were full of fear.
"I don't know what I'm talking about? Misunderstanding?" Lin You didn't listen to this person's sophistry at all. He reached out and pulled down the black cloth that covered the last cargo on the carriage. The year of Changbai taken away by the heirs of the Duke of Man.
The person who was alive before has now become a corpse that can't speak, and there is still a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was really terrifying to look at.
"I thought it was the person in charge of the caravan who did a good thing, but I didn't expect it to be you." Lin Youying regretted that she had discovered it long ago. Although the person in charge of the caravan was extremely yearning for the City of Bliss, before entering the city, the wave of adventurers split, he did not say anything to keep those players who chose to leave. All he had was regret.
Whether the NPC's mood is pretentious or real, Lin You can totally feel it. At that time, the sentiments of the caravan leaders were real. She could even clearly feel the urgency in the heart of the caravan leader after the group disbanded. But Lin You clearly felt the emotions of the person in charge of the caravan, so Lin You still wandered around the city of bliss for two or three days, just to find the person in charge of the caravan. After all, he brought himself into the city.
The result was of course not found. But now, it has been proved that Lin You's previous conjectures were all wrong. Lin You had suspected that there were so many corpses outside. The person in charge of the caravan said that he had also searched for the City of Bliss for a long time and could not find it. So the city of bliss is located in a remote place, how did the bones of so many people accumulate outside the city?
In this way, it is very possible that someone deliberately deceives people into the City of Bliss outside. It's just that Lin You guessed the incident, but did not pinpoint the suspect.
"If it's really a misunderstanding in your mouth, why do you still remember me?" Lin You continued, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Then gag Abel and drag him into the basement of the house like a dead pig. In order to prevent an emergency, Lin You also placed an isolation character, so that no matter what happened in the basement, no one outside would hear anything.
In the basement, the gold and the corpse are all placed together, and the contrast is very sharp. Lin You pulled out the rag from the man's mouth, then folded his arms and waited for the man's explanation.
The corpses in the basement are very complete, except for those players who stayed outside the city, the person in charge of the caravan, Chang Bainian, new players... almost all of them are here. Those people are already dead, but the corners of their mouths are raised, and they are still smiling at the scene of Lin You questioning Abel.
The moment he called Lin You's name, Abel knew that he had been exposed. Because according to common sense, everyone is now trapped in the fantasy created by the adult, how can they remember their true identity? He called Lin You's name to prove that he was not confused, and there were so many corpses as evidence.
"Now that you know, then kill me." Abel didn't pretend anymore, he sneered, "I'm surprised that you can escape from the fantasy created by that adult."
Lin You frowned at Abel's attitude. This state of not being afraid of death is not what she wants. What she wants to see is that this person wants and fears. Only in this way can we pry open the mouth of this person and obtain more information.
"That lord? Illusion? Sure enough, you tempted us to come to this city, right? You are the devil's guide?" Lin You didn't think it was good, but now she can only bite the bullet and continue.
"Hahaha, the devil's guide? No, I'm the god's guide." Abel denied Lin You's statement. He looks free and easy now, but with a frenzy in his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still interested in talking, Lin You quietly sprayed rose perfume.
I hope I can take the opportunity to let him say more.
Sure enough, the rose perfume worked, and soon Abel began to tell his own story.
