After two hours of preparation time, Bai Wu went to meet Jiang Xuan. After Jiang Xuan's "entry procedures" were completed, he had a brief chat with Jiang Xuan.
Judging from their looks, these two men are more than ten years apart in age, but when they talk, they sound quite old.
What surprised Bai Wu was that Jiang Xuan was quite cautious. He basically didn't touch on many topics and only talked to Bai Wu about the case and life.
Bai Wu was also happy about this. Now he had to find a way to stabilize this time bomb.
Bai Wu had no intention of falling out with Jiang Xuan before finding a way to suppress the three souls' transformation.
In the office, when Bai Wu was about to leave, Jiang Xuan suddenly said:
"Are you planning to leave the tower?"
"Yes."
"How about taking me with you to see the world?"
"Your companion force is not low, you must be someone who has never seen the world. Let's wait for next time."
Bai Wu planned to take Jiang Xuan out of the tower, but not this time, but the next time the Order Group intervened.
Cain and the other rulers did not get along well. He thought that if Cain was there, he might be able to use Cain to contain the Order Group.
This was his last time to go out of the tower with his trusted companions, because after this time, if he wanted to go out of the tower alone next time, he would have to hide his identity and use Constantine.
As for the collective investigation outside the tower, they will definitely be targeted by the order team.
"Next time? Sure. I'm looking forward to going out of the tower with the captain."
"I'm looking forward to it, too. See you tomorrow, if all goes well."
"Tomorrow? That's shorter than I thought."
"Just go out of the tower to relax. It won't take too long." Bai Wu was telling the truth.
This time I went out of the tower just to try my luck.
Bai Wu's original plan was to find Ming Che, but Ming Che's gathering was delayed for a few days because of a case. Now that the case has been handed over to the Investigation Corps, he has time to organize a gathering of like-minded men.
But the plan had to be postponed for a few days.
Of course Bai Wu didn't go there because he coveted someone else's wife, he just wanted to find someone to guide him.
…
…
There are very few festivals in the tower, at least there is no important festival in the golden autumn, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the cool autumn, most miners will work harder because the weather outside the tower is suitable. If you don't save enough towers in winter, mining is very risky.
Outside the tower in winter, most areas are so cold that the basic law is ignored.
So the eastern square on the ground floor is quite lively nowadays.
There were only two people who came to participate in the investigation outside the tower, Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang. Shang Xiaoyi and Wang Shi were stopped by Wujiu, who seemed to have something special to tell them.
Looking at the long line of people lined up under the huge stone tablet, Lin Wurou said:
"Just the three of us, isn't that too few? Speaking of which, that time we gambled..."
Bai Wu stopped Lin Wu Rou with a look, and Lin Wu Rou also realized that she had said the wrong thing:
"I mean, it seems difficult to level up now that we are out of the tower."
Unless you stay outside the tower for several days, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough after the companion force reaches the sixth level.
White Mist said;
"Every time we leave the tower, it's a new beginning. After all, we don't know what we will encounter. Besides, we should have dreams. What if the thing we want is possessed by a spirit? What if we encounter a monster that drops a sequence?"
It has been a long time since any new sequence has been dropped, which makes Bai Wu quite resentful towards the principal and other disciples.
The three of them soon arrived in front of the blue stone tablet. No matter how dense the crowd was in the square, the blue stone tablet was always deserted.
The investigator now doesn't have much feeling about Bai Wu and others heading to the blue stele, because this group of people enter and exit the tower in a completely irregular manner, and no one can predict which stele they will come out from after entering from a certain stele.
The blue light attracted the attention of people around.
Soon, Bai Wu, Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang disappeared from everyone's sight.
The miners were not surprised for long and continued to queue up waiting to leave the tower.
…
…
The sea breeze was slightly salty. Bai Wu felt as if there was gravel in his breath, and when the blue in his consciousness dissipated, he opened his eyes.
Then he saw Yin Shuang, who was soaked all over, and Lin Wurou, who was crawling on the ground.
The sound of the tide echoed in his ears, Bai Wu straightened his body and looked towards the sea.
"Island..."
There is no end as far as the eye can see, only endless ocean.
The horse has four legs! The sea is all water! If you want me to help you estimate the distance to the next land, then you have asked the right person, although you cannot see it even with your enhanced vision. You just need to keep swimming, cross the Grand Line and the Calm Belt, swim for three days and three nights, and you will arrive... The next sea is a long way away, why don't you turn around
This means that the next scene can only be this island. It is undoubtedly impossible to find another way by crossing the sea.
Bai Wu turned around and looked at the trees at the edge of the island. At this time, Lin Wu Rou also began to cough, and Yin Shuang slowly opened his eyes.
The bomb coconut tree, although it looks like a coconut tree, if you approach it rashly and wake it up, the coconut will fall down. Don't think that the coconut contains the coconut juice you have been drinking since childhood. There is only gunpowder that is enough to make you booooom. If you continue to stay in this area, you will be blown away soon. Of course, you can also hide in the sea. There are no sharks in the sea because sharks are too weak. So I suggest moving forward. As for the destination, please check your pockets.
"Cough cough cough, bah bah bah bah... Where is this?" Lin Wu Rou had a lot of sand in her mouth and was trying to spit it out.
Yin Shuang asked directly:
"How to go?"
"Come with me, and we'll talk as we go. And feel in your pockets to see if there's anything there."
Bai Wu walked in front, while Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou followed with doubts in their hearts.
As he began to deduce the situation in his mind, Bai Wu took out a card from his blue uniform.
Three of Hearts.
Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou also drew a card.
"Three of Hearts? What is this?" Lin Wu Rou looked at the white mist in confusion.
"I don't know, but it should be the destination." Bai Wu was relieved when he found that the three people had the same cards.
He already had a rough clue.
"Destination?" Yin Shuang suddenly felt that this island might not be a natural island.
Although enhanced vision cannot see through the sea, it allows Bai Wu to see the distant island.
He saw a district card not far away, like a monument used to indicate the boundaries of the land, with a five of diamonds and a four of diamonds arranged horizontally. The white fog could not see the farther areas, but he could see that the nearest district card was the two of spades.
This means that the island is divided into many areas.
So Bai Wu deduced that this place was the Spade Two area. In a few minutes, some kind of bombing would occur in the Spade Two area due to the falling coconuts from the explosive coconut tree.
The reason why there are no signs of bombing on this island is probably because all the materials on this island have become scenery and cannot be destroyed. However, as living creatures on the island, they will be affected by the bomb coconuts.
The final destination should be the Three of Hearts. Perhaps only there can we gain temporary safety.
Bai Wu's pace was fast. He trotted with Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou, and soon stepped from the Spade Two area into the Diamond Two area.
When seeing the ground monument of Block 2, Yin Shuang said:
"Are we involved in some incident?"
"Event? Don't be so optimistic. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a game, a death game." After entering the second area of Cube 2, Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Spade Two area, which is the outer edge of the island, has only beaches, tides, sea breezes and coconut trees.
But in the Spade area, as the inner layer of the island, Bai Wu saw endless weeds.
Weeds were everywhere, and it seemed that they had suddenly entered a weed patch from the coconut grove. The height of these weeds was also very exaggerated, and they could completely cover the white mist. The sight of the white mist before was blocked by these weeds.
Yellow grass is different from red grass that repels mosquitoes and blue grass that replenishes nutrients. Although it is called yellow grass, it is a predator. If someone wakes it up, it will tear you apart like tentacles. Believe me, the experience of grass eating people is terrible. Finally, a warning... Don't jump up.
Obviously, this is another area that requires escape. Bai Wu speculates that there will be no peace along the way before reaching the Three of Hearts area.
Just when Lin Wurou was about to ask something, Bai Wu shouted:
"Get down!"
boom!
Although Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang looked confused, they reacted very quickly and lay down without any hesitation.
Huge explosions continued, and feeling the burning air waves on her back and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the yellow grass, Lin Wu Rou really wished she was trapped in a pit.
God knows what this would be like if so many bomb coconuts exploded at the same time
Yin Shuang also felt a little scared, as if one of her feet had almost stepped into the underworld.
Listening to the explosions one after another, Bai Wu's train of thought was completely different from those two people—
"What would happen if I detonated it beforehand?"
"If Yin Shuang, Lin Wurou and I had entered the scene later, would we have been caught in the explosion and killed on the spot?"
"Or does this game only start after we enter?"
"It's hard to say. If this is a survival game, it's not uncommon to die after parachuting... But what is certain is that since there are cards in the pocket, there must be a designer behind this island."
The explosion seemed to have nothing to do with the white fog. He faced the loess, held his breath, and analyzed the situation on the scene with a calm expression.
Obviously, after the explosion, the three of them would have to keep running for their lives, because these yellow grasses would probably soon become ghosts that would take their lives.
But in a game, there must be winners and losers. If you lose, you die, and if you win, there must at least be a reward for the match.
For some reason, Bai Wu began to look forward to it.
At the same time, make a map in your mind.
"As long as you walk through the weeds, you can find out the suit of the next row of areas. If it's hearts, you just need to move east. If it's diamonds, the fastest way to move is to go diagonally northeast."
The explosion finally stopped after thirty seconds. After the three of them stood up, Bai Wu said:
"Don't stop, follow me!"
The explosion was loud, but it did not cause any damage to the vegetation on the island. However, Lin Wu Rou was sure that she would not survive the explosion just now.
However, Yin Shuang can use the refractive shield, which is relatively safer.
Bai Wu pushed aside the yellow weeds in front of him that were taller than him. These weeds were impossible to destroy, causing the three of them to run much slower than when they were running wildly in the spade-colored coconut grove area before.
"Any faster, or these grasses will become as dangerous as the bombs just now."
"Fuck! Why don't we use the return wheel to go back!" Lin Wu Rou immediately wanted to retreat.
Bai Wu said:
"You two can go back. I plan to take a look."
Seeing that Bai Wu was interested in this place, Lin Wu Rou no longer had any intention of backing down.
The yellow grass was nearly two meters tall, somewhat like a reed, but withered and yellow all over. The three of them were fiddling with the yellow grass, and suddenly Yin Shuang said:
"There's an evil creature on our right... heading our way."
Bai Wu took a look at Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang's watches. Although they did not look calm, the readings on their watches clearly showed that they were frightened.
"It's probably attracted by the negative emotions you two have. It's not a big deal. Let's move on."
Not a big problem...
Lin Wurou always felt that the problem was serious. He didn't know that Bai Wu was actually looking forward to meeting Edu.
Because he needed more clues to complete his calculations on the island.
About thirty seconds after he finished speaking, three figures with a foul smell suddenly rushed over from the bushes on the other side.
These were three humanoid evil beings with skin the color of sewer mud. They were wearing different clothes, but all looked filthy, but they were agile.
Bai Wu noticed that the bags on the chests of the three people's clothes all contained cards, but he couldn't see the specific contents.
Rats, bedbugs, dung beetles, dung maggots and flies, cockroaches longer than your index finger. Do you think I'm talking about some inexplicably disgusting creatures? No, I'm talking about the three level 3 evils that are rushing towards you. Their bodies are formed by many such creatures combined with rotten corpses. Their abilities are very limited, but they have a rare level aberration term that is disgusting enough to make you sick - corpse infection. This is an term that will continuously corrode your vitality once it is infected.
"Yin Shuang refracts the light, Lin Wurou draws the sword!"
Although they were three level three evil creatures that met the blue zone standards, Bai Wu did not take it lightly in order to avoid being infected by the filth.
The three sixth-level masters easily dealt with the evil.
The moment they were killed, Yin Shuang and Lin Wurou felt a sour taste in their stomachs. Bai Wu frowned.
Dense swarms of cockroaches, fat flies, and maggots were constantly crawling out of the three dead human-shaped monsters.
It was like a cocoon that was bitten by various scavenger insects. The gray-green corpse oil, rotten meat, the stench, and even the black-stained bones all showed that the three evil bodies had been dead for a long time.
A big question mark hung over Bai Wu's head.
"What exactly happened here?" Lin Wu Rou asked the question again.
Bai Wu doesn't know either.
The dirty black flesh began to turn into dust, revealing the equally dirty bones. Only three pieces of clothing did not decay along with it.
Bai Wu picked up three cards.
Three of Hearts.
Take it with you, it is the symbol of your victory and can be exchanged for more initial supplies in the next area.
He suddenly understood something.
"Keep going. The Three Hearts area is not far from us. We will know all the problems when we get there."
