Chapter 1080: A Real Mirage
Just when Liu Xing felt a little dilemma, there was a strange noise in the "5" restaurant.
Liu Xing looked over and found that there were suddenly a few fewer people in the "5" restaurant, and the other people inside were still busy as if they didn't know that someone had disappeared.
What's going on?
Although Liu Xing was not staring intently at the situation in the "5" restaurant, Liu Xing was sure that those who were missing had left their original positions through normal means.
Before Liu Xing could speak, Alice preemptively said: "Liu Xing, you just saw it, a few people in the No. 5 restaurant suddenly disappeared, there must be something wrong." ”
Liu Xing nodded, and said with some confusion: "If I'm not mistaken, those people who just disappeared should be members of the public faction, but what I don't understand is why they didn't leave through normal means?" I don't think this restaurant has any secrets, it won't be in the hall, so there's no need for them to do it this way... ”
Before Liu Xing's words were finished, he saw that the middle-aged man who was looking left and right at the door suddenly disappeared.
What the hell is going on?
Liu Xing and Alice looked at each other speechlessly, and they could see the question marks in each other's eyes.
As a result, before Liu Xing could speak again, someone in the "5" restaurant suddenly disappeared.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have a saying in Huaxia that hearing is false, and seeing is believing."
Alice suddenly said, "Seeing is not necessarily believing now, so we have to practice it to know what all this is all about." ”
Looking at Alice with a serious face, Liu Xing knew that she now had a bold idea, that is, to enter the "5" restaurant!
It's a bit of a boldness, but to find out what's going on, you'll need to go inside the "5" restaurant and find out.
However, this "5" restaurant is very likely to be an important stronghold of the public faction, so Liu Xing is very worried that if he and Alice go in like this, there will be no return, after all, the combined combat power of himself and Alice may be less than double digits.
Therefore, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while.
But at this moment, two black shadows suddenly appeared next to Liu Xing and Alice.
Liu Xing, who was taken aback, almost screamed, but fortunately at the last moment, he saw clearly that it was Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.
It seems that they saw the guidance mark left by Alice, so they arrived here so quickly.
As for Zhang Jingxu and others, who are non-professionals, they should still be rushing here.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Xing shook his head and said, "Friend, don't you know what it means to be scary, scared to death?" It's so scary that the black light is so out of nowhere, I almost wanted to shoot you. ”
Li Hanxing on the side shrugged his shoulders and said with some surprise: "Didn't you guys look at us just now?" I thought you'd already see us."
"Oh, we were thinking about things just now, so it looks like we're looking at you, but we're actually thinking about it." Alice opened her mouth to explain, "Have you seen Zhang Jingxu and them? ”
Sun Huiwen nodded and said seriously: "When the members of the public faction were setting off smoke bombs before, Li Hanxing and I tried to take advantage of the chaos to get into it, climbed under the small truck and mixed into the lair of the public faction, but found that the chassis of the small truck didn't even have a place to get started, so we could only roll out very aggrievedly, but after the small truck drove away, we saw that Zhang Jingxu and they had reunited, and then turned into another street, I think they should have found something." 、”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Zhang Jingxu has fallen into the public faction's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Or is there some clue in the other street? It seems that we can't expect Zhang Jingxu and them to come here in a short period of time; But then again, did you see any trace of that sniper? ”
Li Hanxing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "When we left the confines of Nagoya City, we paid attention to the sniper's movements, but that sniper obviously didn't intend to cooperate with us and was indifferent to some of the signals we sent her, so we could only follow all the way according to the marks you left behind, so what's the situation here, why do you stay here instead of outside Atsuta Jingu?" ”
Liu Xing told the current situation of the "5" restaurant.
"It's kind of funny, the inside of this restaurant doesn't look as calm as it sees."
Li Hanxing squinted his eyes and said: "Sun Huiwen and I have encountered a similar situation before, but we lost some supplies due to some accidents during our journey, you should know that nothing can be lacking water on the desert Gobi, so we temporarily diverted to an oasis to replenish drinking water, but we were delayed for some time because the car broke down on the way, and finally arrived at an oasis in the middle of the night; The oasis was controlled by a small tribe, and the route was well received for its fair price, and the usual cars on that route would go there if they needed to. ”
"Our captain and the leader of that tribe are also old acquaintances, so we have been to that oasis several times, every time we go there before, we will see a lot of vehicles parked there, drivers and passengers should eat and eat, supplies should be replenished, in short, that oasis is usually quite lively, but we haven't stopped on the periphery of that oasis, we noticed that the oasis is a little strange, although there are a lot of people talking inside, and we can see a lot of people, But there was always a sense of unreality, so we didn't go straight into it when we realized that something wasn't right. ”
"We first found a high ground to observe secretly, and we saw the same situation as Liu Xing, you just saw - there are a lot of normal-looking people in the oasis, but one or two people will suddenly disappear from time to time, and we realize that there is a problem with this place, but we had better have to go in again, because if we don't go in, we won't get the supply of drinking water, and then we will basically not survive to the next supply point, so we can only grit our teeth and walk into the oasis, And guess what, as soon as we entered, we found that the situation inside the oasis was completely different from what we saw outside! ”
Hearing this, Alice slapped her thigh and said, "I remember, my master mentioned one thing when he bragged to us before, and that was the real mirage!" ”
"That's right, it's a real mirage!" Li Hanxing nodded and said: "Actually, the real mirage is not what we humans call a mirage, and there is not even a relationship between the two, but there are many people who say it, so the name is even decided; To put it simply, the real mirage is actually a very special space, and no one, not even mythical creatures, has determined how this real mirage came about, and what the purpose of its existence is, but some people speculate that this real mirage is related to the Old Dominators, because there are people who have escaped by luck who claim to have seen the Old Dominators in it. ”
"Back to the topic, the appearance of the real mirage will directly cover an area, integrating all the creatures in this area, and when outsiders look at this area, they will find that everything is normal in this area, but if someone dies in this real mirage, then in the eyes of outsiders, this person will suddenly disappear; At present, there are a total of six real mirages recorded, one of which is the Ottoman City that Sun Huiwen and I once entered, to put it bluntly, it is a very large, Ottoman-style town, the same urban style mirage, and there is also an industrial city located on the ice field, which is presumed to belong to Maozi. ”
"On top of that, there's a twin island mirage of resort islands and desert islands. A dark forest from which you can't find a way out, a pit that produces a lot of gold, and an ancient castle that seems to be thousands of years old but has a very modern interior; Although these four real mirages have different styles, the core is almost the same, that is, either solve the tasks released by this mirage, or live to the end in this mirage... Of course, there is another way to leave is to find the owner of this mirage, an old ruler. ”
After listening to Li Hanxing's words, Liu Xing knew that this so-called "real mirage" should essentially be a special mod made by the game lobby of the Cthulhu Run Group, and it seems that a group of "lucky" players should be randomly selected to enter it.
But most importantly, if they're not "event-limited", these special mods are typically high-risk, high-reward - while mods are difficult, they tend to reward players for beating the level.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing handed Li Hanxing an inquiring look.
Li Hanxing comprehended and continued: "Even if it's the same mirage, but the task will be different every time you go in, for example, the task we need to complete that time is to find a flying carpet hidden in the city, and then dedicate this flying carpet to the city's lord Emir, in addition to other people's encounters, the tasks are basically the same, all of them are looking for a treasure to give to Emir, if you can't find it within the time limit, you will be put in prison by Emir's men, and in the end you will either starve to death, Or die of thirst. ”
"As for completing the task, the emir will decide the reward according to the time you spend, the highest level of reward is the treasure you found, and the reward of the general point will also be a magic prop, and the second should be gold and silver jewelry, so if we want to enter this No. 5 restaurant later, I hope we can see a city located on the desert Gobi as soon as we open our eyes, so that Sun Huiwen and I can still find the way."
Now the question comes back - do you want to enter this "5" restaurant?
Of course, the most tangled question for Liu Xing now is why this "5" restaurant is being targeted by this real mirage? Is this special mod coming to you on the spot, exactly, or is the "5" restaurant itself triggering this special mod?
Liu Xing felt that this should be the latter, because Liu Xing didn't think that when the Cthulhu Run Game Hall held the big event of the Battle of the Public Martial Arts, it would still open this kind of special mod with great variables in the island country.
In the unlikely event that one of the faction's manpower was moving at full speed to support teammates in an important area, they were caught up in this special mod on the way, and finally passed the special mod, only to find that their teammates were wiped out because they didn't get timely support.
This affects the balance of the game a bit.
Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that the module prepared for the final loss to this "5" restaurant is this special module, and the reason why this special module will be activated now is nine times out of ten because of the public faction.
If that's the case, that's interesting.
Because at this time, a special mod like this should only be activated by players, so why would players in the public faction take the initiative to activate this very difficult special mod?
Could it be that the artifact has something to do with this special mod?
Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the treasure buried under Nagoya Castle came from this special module, and the reason why the public faction brought this treasure back into this special module is probably to upgrade this treasure when completing the task again, so that the cost of using this treasure is reduced, or even disappears completely.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately told Alice and the others his thoughts.
"If that's the case, then we'll have to enter Restaurant Five, because if we let the Gongjia faction succeed, then we will not only lose control of Nagoya this time, but we will also lose the upper hand in the subsequent battle of the Gongwu." Li Hanxing got up and said, "So, let's go in now, right?" ”
Liu Xing and Alice glanced at each other, and also got up and said, "Then let's go!" ”
After confirming that there should be no members of the public faction around to pay attention to this, Liu Xing and the four of them quickly opened the door of the "5" restaurant, and then rushed directly into it.
So, after a long-lost flower, an ancient castle appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.
This castle is several times larger than Eins' castle, and it seems to be a few years old, but the most important thing is that on the walls of this castle, Liu Xing can see several guards with bows and crossbows.
