"I've been wondering what the biggest secret of the manor is. At least your tragic experience is not a secret in my opinion. The most important thing for survival in the apocalypse is survival resources, but you can solve these problems perfectly. I need to know the reason."
Bai Wu emphasized the problem again.
He must find out where the food comes from.
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I want to rescue these people, but you want to keep them as bargaining chips. So I have to make sure they can survive, right? This is something I must know. If you tell me the truth about bringing your scumbag father into the manor, I will do my best to ensure that he is alive."
After a few seconds of silence, Violet asked:
"Do you keep your word?"
"I am well-known for being honest in our group."
Wujiu did not comment.
Violet finally nodded:
"After I became one with the manor, I met two strange men. They both proposed a deal to me. One of them had six dogs. He wore a tattered brown robe and a strange hat."
Six dogs? Bai Wu knew that this person might be related to the six dogs in the manor, but the first thing he thought of was the traveler with three crows.
Although their only common feature is that they are surrounded by animals, Bai Wu always feels that they are very similar.
"What deal did he offer?"
"He left me a mark. With this mark, I can obtain many things from him. For example, memories, food, various materials, even superpowers and lifespan."
Fear coin
When Bai Wu saw the word "Fear Coin" on Violet, he was still wondering whether this ability was related to Violet's ability to obtain food.
It literally means using fear as a bargaining chip to exchange for certain items.
But who to exchange
Could it be possible that Evil Fall has a system store? Violet couldn't possibly awaken and become the protagonist of a novel, and be able to exchange items with fear points
Now Bai Wu understood that this entry was not a native entry, but was given by some evil being.
This evil creature with six dogs will grant certain evil creatures the perfect distortion entry of "Fear Coin".
Turn them into trading objects.
As long as you can provide fear for a long time... you can obtain a certain amount of supplies.
Bai Wu's guess was correct, and what Violet said next was similar to his guess.
The reason why six households are needed is because there must be a basic scale for trading with the Giver of the Coin of Fear.
"He calls himself a businessman. When the source well is opened and the regional restrictions are lifted, he will look for trading partners everywhere. He thinks my manor is good and can trade with him, so he contacted me. As long as I can provide fear, I can make the manor prosper."
The three crows are travelers, the six dogs are merchants...
Will there still be doctors? Butchers? Blacksmiths? Judges
Bai Wu was a little excited, as if he had accidentally come into contact with a mysterious organization.
"By the way, besides fear, does he collect anything else?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know. In the afternoon, the merchant's six dogs will enter the manor. At night, after absorbing enough fear, they will leave. Supplies will be directly replenished to the manor in the early morning."
The white mist suddenly appeared.
Mom only needs to cook to make delicious meals, so Dad only needs to go to work to complete the trade. Violet's logic of playing house is quite rigorous.
It was only at this time that Bai Wu realized that the trade books in the room actually contained this kind of hint.
too strong!
Bai Wu really wanted to get to know this businessman, he didn't think this businessman was afraid of trading.
If there were straight man coins, crazy coins, curiosity coins, suicidal coins, short growth coins, sharp tongue coins and so on, wouldn't they be on the list of stable sources of food
If I can contact the merchant, what's the use of this broken pot
But the white mist was soon poured with cold water.
"Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know. It is said to be on Black Gold Island, but I don't know that place."
Bai Wu had never heard of such a place, and this place had a black word on it... Could it be a black area
The last time he was in the red zone, he had witnessed the horror of a higher-level challenge. If it weren't for Hong Yin, he wouldn't have survived for more than three seconds.
He withdrew his thoughts and continued the topic:
"But you still need people. There aren't many people across regions. If these people have been enslaved by you for seven hundred years, their fear will gradually fade. So you need fresh users. At most, you can change them every few years or ten years?"
"Yes, someone helped me solve this problem. But I can't tell you the details. This is his request."
It looked like Cain.
Bai Wu didn't care, he had already guessed the details.
Cain acted as a father or mother in this manor, and then found that he could not find any clues.
Afterwards, Cain must have performed some kind of ritual through the strange patterns on the wall, forcing himself to communicate with Violet and tricking Violet into becoming his disciple.
Bai Wu believed that Cain still had some eloquence.
In a sense, Cain and Violet formed an alliance. So when Cain left the letter, it was not the first time he entered the manor.
As for how long ago Cain entered the manor, the white mist could not tell for now. It could be decades ago, or it could be... He came seven hundred years ago, not long after the manor and Violet merged.
Then there is the possibility that Cain already knew Violet’s father before Violet’s evil fall.
This evil scum who had some perverted desire for women must have been a very famous person even seven hundred years ago.
After thinking it through, Bai Wu said:
"I've finished asking questions. There are no more secrets for me here. So... goodbye?"
“Don’t forget your promise.”
"Of course. By the way, can I come here often? Mainly because you are lonely. Actually, you don't have to entertain me. Just ask someone to prepare a few dozen dishes."
Violet didn't say anything, she just disappeared.
The room, which was originally dim and filled with purple light, suddenly became bright and the door of the room opened.
Wujiu patted Bai Wu's shoulder and said:
"Well done. I have a better understanding of your honesty."
"Thank you for the compliment, Captain. We have finished exploring this place and it's time to go back."
…
…
After enjoying the last sumptuous lunch, Bai Wu felt reluctant to leave.
The mental invasion of Yin Shuanglin Wurou, Bai Xiaoyu and others has also been lifted. Although everyone still has some shadows in their hearts, this lunch is not so awkward to eat.
Bai Xiaoyu and Lin Wurou finally don’t have to be babies anymore, and Yin Shuang looks at Bai Wu with gratitude.
There were still many things she didn't understand about the mysteries of the manor. Yin Shuang was impressed by Bai Wu's ability to do what he said and solve all the problems before the second night.
"If I make the wrong choice today and choose the cake... Will there be a rift between the captain and the short sister-in-law when we return to the tower?"
Shorty: Honey, I was wrong!
Short Sister: You are no longer clean!
Bai Wu thought about it and laughed out loud.
But it’s hard to say, what if nothing happens as normal tonight
After regaining his freedom of movement, Lin Wurou looked depressed. When he saw Bai Wu suddenly laugh, he got angry:
"What are you laughing at again!"
"I just thought of something happy, my dear son, what's wrong? Can't Daddy smile?"
"I @￥##@!v…!"
The friendship boat capsized.
Bai Wu only teased Lin Wurou, but did not tease Yin Shuang. However, before the meal ended, he asked:
"By the way, have you memorized the recipes for these foods?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'll forget it when I return to the tower."
"Don't! Please remember this carefully!"
Yin Shuang ignored the white fog.
Soon, Wujiu had also finished tidying up.
The small team of the Survey Corps gathered again, and six of them arrived at the gate of the manor.
The other residents saw Bai Wu and others gathering at the door, thinking that there were new guests, so they ran out frantically, but soon realized that there was no one there, and looked at Bai Wu and others strangely again.
Naturally, there have been people who have tried to climb over the manor gates before, mostly those who played the role of the baby.
They will pretend to play near the gate and then look for opportunities to climb.
But once you touch the door, you will immediately enter the most terrifying dream and your body will be taken over directly.
So everyone was waiting to watch the show. After all, in their opinion, some things can only be felt through personal experience.
But as the door slowly opened, the group of people were stunned.
Their faces were filled with shock.
As Bai Wu and others walked out of the manor, some people finally reacted from their surprise. They ran as fast as they could, even forgetting that they had not packed their luggage and had not taken the return roulette with them.
Except for Bai Wu, everyone looking at this group of people felt the same way and felt sad for them.
Of course, the residents of the other four buildings could not escape, and their bodies were quickly taken over by Violet's consciousness.
The gate of the manor closed again.
The sound of the iron door locking automatically was like the gavel of a life sentence.
Looking at the desperate expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Wurou, who was always sharp-tongued, said seriously:
“We must rescue these people later.”
Wujiu Yin Shuang also nodded unconsciously.
Bai Wu said:
"The bargaining chip we can exchange for them is a big fish. Even if we break our fishing rods now, we can't catch it."
Only Wujiu knew that the big fish came from the fifth floor.
Bai Wu thought that this round was a draw with Cain.
Although he successfully solved the mystery of the manor that even Cain himself could not solve, Cain also made himself and the short brother feel disgusted with the rulers of the tower.
But it's not a big problem. From what Shorty said before, Bai Wu felt that Shorty might have had some ideas for a long time and had just been accumulating strength.
"We have to rescue them though. Of course it feels good to be a father, but do you know how miserable I am?" Lin Wu Rou said.
Bai Wu shrugged and said:
"If you were a father, we might not have the chance to come out."
Unexpectedly, Lin Wu Rou did not refute, but just snorted coldly.
"Let's go back. The investigation here is over." Wujiu said as he started the return wheel.
Bai Wu nodded, feeling quite regretful. After all, this investigation did not yield any substantial benefits, although he did learn about some of Cain's "failures".
At the moment when the return roulette started, Bai Wu saw the conclusion again.
Current area exploration completion: 89%. One evil remains. This area belongs to other areas, and the fragments are not here. My evaluation: Your meticulous performance will always attract people's attention. You have attracted the attention of a super evil.
Um
unexpected surprise
The only person who knew about this place was the owner of the six dogs, the businessman.
Sure enough, he is on the same level as the Traveler and Hong Yin.
"It's a pity that the danger level of Black Gold Island is unclear, and I don't know how to get there..."
The evil being able to sell food, supplies, and even memories and abilities, in Bai Wu's opinion, the source entry of the Coin of Fear must be a legendary entry.
He had no aversion to evil, and knowing a profit-seeking businessman was a way of protecting himself.
"I can't find him, but maybe he can find me? If I can contact this businessman, then this trip will be worthwhile."
…
…
High tower.
When the investigator saw Bai Wuwujiu and others return, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little disappointed—they entered the blue area and returned to the blue area.
Compared to the previous times, it was a bit mediocre. It just took a bit longer.
Shortly after Bai Wu and Wu Jiu arrived at the tower, Liu Mu and several other squad leaders of the survey corps arrived.
Bai Wu saw that it was quite a big scene. Almost half of the squad leaders of the Investigation Corps and the strongest fighters of the entire corps had come.
Liu Mu walked in front and said:
"Wujiu, you are so careless that you actually went out to carry out a long-term mission at this time. Come quickly. In the two days when you were away, a group of young masters appeared in the Zhenyu Army!"
Wujiu frowned.
Even though this was already a traditional skill of the Zhenyu Army, he still hadn't figured out how the Zhenyu Army... could regularly train rare sequence talents
"Hurry up, let's hold a meeting. You can't participate in this year's military exercise between the two armies. We have to find someone immediately. Registration starts the day after tomorrow."
Wujiu nodded and gave Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang some instructions. When he was about to leave, he suddenly looked at Bai Wu again:
"Bai Wu, follow me."
"I'm going too?" Bai Wu was slightly surprised.
Wujiu cared a lot and even valued Baiwu’s suggestion. He didn’t explain much, but just nodded.
Liu Mu said:
"This is a captain's meeting, why bring this kid along?"
"I'm tired, and he makes decisions for me."
The squad leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.
In everyone's opinion, it was only a matter of time before Wujiu became the future deputy commander of the Survey Corps. So, was Wujiu hinting that Shirogiri would take over as the captain of the Survey Corps' Seventh Division in the future
Bai Wu also felt that Shorty thought too highly of him. He was able to discover the strengths of his subordinates, appreciate their strengths, not be jealous, and was even willing to vigorously cultivate them.
After thinking about it, Bai Wu realized that although he encountered a life-and-death situation at the beginning, he also got a good boss in return.
After leaving the tower this time, it seems that Shorty trusts me more...
Well, it’s a good thing that Shorty isn’t my wife or son, otherwise… there probably wouldn’t be this scene today.
