In the dark night, in a secluded alley in Wangcheng, several figures suddenly appeared.
Mo Xiaoyao and the others had just stood still, and before they could familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, the mechanical sound of the system suddenly rang in their minds.
[Sub-quest 1: Hide your identity
Wangcheng does not allow outsiders to appear, don't expose yourself, otherwise it will be a dead end.]
"...all of them are hiding their identities?" Mo Xiaoyao blinked, adapting to the surrounding light, her friends could only see an outline, and as for herself, she always had an ominous premonition.
Hmm... These two ears on the head are so familiar...
"Well, mine is."
"mine too."
"Same."
…
After some confirmation, everyone's side quests are the same, it seems that the first thing to do is to find a foothold. Mo Xiaoyao thought for a while, took out a business card from his bag, and whispered.
"Go out first. I don't think there is any difference between us and the aborigines in terms of appearance. The place where we show our feet should be talking and understanding of the world-I have an acquaintance here, let's find him."
After finishing speaking, Mo Xiaoyao turned his wrist, and beckoned Sang Zishi to come over, and with the help of the light on the screen of the handheld, he showed it to other people who gathered around him.
[Joker's business card (excellent)]
Introduction: Only guests who have received the respect of the clown are eligible to get this business card.
How to use: follow the map to find out.
Function: If you can find the clown's home according to the address, you can get free food and accommodation. He has always been a hospitable host.
Remarks: The premise is that you can find the clown's home.
Jiang Yan: "...Are you sure that guy lives in Wangcheng?"
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "Do you think the full name of Wangcheng is Wangcheng? Of course there is a tall official title, but it's too long and I didn't remember it."
After finishing speaking, she looked up at the unfamiliar faces of her companions around her, and beckoned to Sang Zishi to raise the camera to take a picture of everyone.
"Get to know everyone, don't turn around and don't know anyone else, it's troublesome."
The light from Sangzishi’s handheld screen is quite bright, similar to the feeling of a flashlight. In order to prevent discomfort caused by direct light on the eyes, everyone passed it one by one and placed it near the chin for everyone to see... the effect It's not much different from ghost movies.
At any rate, I have recognized a whole circle of people, and everyone's appearance has retained some of their original characteristics. Those who are familiar will never admit mistakes, and those who are not familiar will never be able to tell.
Sang Zishi put away the handheld and followed everyone to adapt to the surrounding light. After ten seconds, under the leadership of Mo Xiaoyao, they found a bright direction and walked out, wondering if they could find a road sign or something. According to the map, go to the clown's house.
Leaving the secluded alley, it seems to have entered another world. There are brightly lit lights and various decorations everywhere, but the atmosphere is weird, and it feels incompatible with the outside world.
Mo Xiaoyao observed carefully. Every traveler who passed by had a smile on his face, but some of them were from the heart, and some were forced. It seems that not everyone responded to this carnival big enthusiasm.
"It's interesting." Dou Rui muttered to himself, "Is it true that some of these ordinary people also know the truth? In this case, things will be much more beneficial to us, and getting help from the aborigines means reducing the difficulty —It seems that the guy on our ship is not completely unpopular."
"The incumbent is stupid enough. He hasn't been able to return to the world for so long." Meng Danyang said sarcastically, "Even Chu Tianrui has done a better job than him, no matter if he is sincere or not, at least no one dares to do it in front of him." There are differences of opinion."
Jiang Yan raised his chin, and said with a sneer: "Isn't it the same? There are slaves for every kind of master. Why do you think these guys who laugh uglier than cry appear on the street? Isn't it because they are under pressure? The product of — I don’t have time to discuss this with you, so let’s ask someone for directions first.”
It’s good to leave this kind of thing to Bao Hong. He looks like a square head now, a bit like a character in “My World”, but his affinity is still there. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to ask for directions.
Taking the "clown's business card" from Mo Xiaoyao, Bao Hong looked at it, memorized some necessary information on it, and then stood on the side of the street for more than 10 seconds. After locking on to a target, he took his time Walk over and start talking to that person in a low voice.
Then, about half a minute later, after saying goodbye to them politely, he walked back to the line and returned his business card to Mo Xiaoyao.
"The clown's house is not far from here. After walking five streets to the east, it's the third one to the west." Bao Hong said while pointing in the direction, "The man told me that it takes about 30 minutes to walk. In about a minute, let's go."
This time, led by Bao Hong who asked for directions, a group of 13 people headed towards the clown’s house silently. In order to prevent anyone from overhearing, no one spoke along the way, and everyone consciously remembered While observing the surroundings, Lu was doing his homework for the hidden missions for a period of time to come.
Mo Xiaoyao didn't dare to take out the car rashly. Before she got more information about Wangcheng, she would rather walk slowly with her legs than to cause unnecessary trouble for the sake of convenience. Moreover, the speed of their group is not slow. It is expected to be about 30 minutes, but in only 15 minutes, they have already walked through 5 streets.
Squinting his eyes to observe the name on the street sign, although he had already memorized it, Mo Xiaoyao subconsciously glanced down at the map on the business card, and after confirming that it was correct, he began to look for the third house on the west side.
It was a small house with a pretty red peaked roof, and it was painted a different color, because it was too late to tell whether it was white or some other similar light color, but it looked pretty.
"Come on, come with me to meet old friends."
Mo Xiaoyao clenched his fists and let out a crisp "gaba" sound. Hearing the music behind him, his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that their group was not like "visiting friends", but more like they were going to fight in a group
Fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen. Mo Xiaoyao went to the fence gate of the yard, pushed it and found that it was locked, but he didn't kick it open violently. Instead, he jumped in with his legs.
Leyin blinked and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, Miss Rabbit's hind legs were muscular, and this little obstacle couldn't stop her at all.
After jumping into the courtyard wall, there was still no movement in the house. Mo Xiaoyao first opened the fence door and let his companions in. to the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a muffled murmur from inside the room.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Who is it?" The clown's familiar and impatient questioning voice was accompanied by the sound of "slapping" as he pulled his shoes on the wooden floor.
Mo Xiaoyao didn't answer, and didn't continue to knock on the door. She just listened quietly to the voices in the room getting closer and closer until they stopped by the door—she took a step forward and raised her hand to block the sight glass on the door.
The clown stared at the looking glass for a few seconds. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He put his ears on the door and felt that there was no movement outside. He wondered if it was the little bastard from the neighbor's house who came to make trouble again, and he felt a lot more relieved, so he unscrewed the door lock and wanted to open the door to have a look, while muttering and cursing the brat from that house.
"If I find out it's really you, I'll beat you up tomorrow—who are you!"
"Hush!!"
Mo Xiaoyao put his hand on his three-petal mouth, uttered a warning hiss, and then, before the clown could react, he dashed over and relied on his current strong physical fitness to knock him, the master, into the room. into the house.
Jiang Yan and the others followed immediately, and Yu Bing, who was walking last, graciously closed the door for the clown—by the way, she also closed the fence door in the yard just now.
The clown woke up from the stupefied state just now, and just about to shout out in horror, a rabbit's hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and in that hand was holding a very familiar business card.
"Do you still remember me? Mr. Clown, I brought my friends to play with you." Mo Xiaoyao said with a smile, not at all the aloofness he had when he first met the clown, "You have to do your best. Zhiyi, otherwise the system master will not let you go."
The clown's face was extremely ugly. He had given out two business cards in his life, and the holders of these two business cards were standing in front of him now.
That's right, Jiang Yan also has one, but he has never taken it seriously. He has never explored this thing as seriously as Mo Xiaoyao, and he didn't expect that there will be a day when he can really use it.
"Come with me." The clown drooped his face, not at all looking like he was going to entertain guests. He led Mo Xiaoyao and the others through the hall, and then through a short corridor, and finally came to the not-so-spacious starting room. in the living room.
It can be seen that the clown is a person who understands life. Although the place is not big, it is decorated very warmly, and there is a breath of life everywhere, but it doesn't look like a place where a single man lives by himself.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Xiaoyao thought of this, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. Looking up, a fat woman in pajamas came down with only a blanket on, and she was still talking.
"Honey, what's going on? Who's out there—oh my god, do we have so many guests? I'm so rude—"
After finishing speaking, the fat woman turned around and was about to go upstairs, but was blocked by Yu Bing, who was grabbing the railing of the stairs and jumping up. She was smiling, with a friendly smile that she had always had on her face, and said softly to the fat woman: "Madam, please wait downstairs, we are your husband's guests, we are not bad people, But if you did something that caused a misunderstanding, we can only say sorry."
The fat woman stared at Yu Bing for a few seconds, turned around without saying a word, and walked downstairs, looking at other people while walking, muttering in the same tone as a clown: "I just want to go upstairs to change clothes, It's embarrassing to meet guests in pajamas."
While speaking, she walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. At the same time, she pulled the towel covering it and put it on her lap.
The clown also walked over and sat down next to his wife. Even at night, he never took off his makeup. He put one hand on the fat woman's leg, patted it comfortingly, and then turned his head to look at Mo Xiaoyao and his party were looking for a place to sit.
"Tell me, what are you going to do? I don't believe that you are here on a special trip."
This time, it was Jiang Yan who answered.
"We need you to help us hide our identities until the end of the carnival."
The clown nodded, not seeming surprised by the request at all: "Has this day finally come? I understand, and I will try my best to assist you."
