Bai Wu was thinking, if Yan Jiu could successfully complete the task this time... maybe this means that Yan Jiu has some kind of talent
In the past, he had always thought that he had to restrain the negative emotions that invaded him outside the tower. Yan Jiu, a person who could not feel joy, could not survive at all. But in fact... everything seemed different.
Fortunately, I have the conch, so I can monitor the situation remotely. Bai Wu really thought so.
But now it was already nine o'clock in the evening. An unexpected incident interrupted Bai Wu's deployment.
Four hours after he entered the area, a negative attribute that he had not felt for a long time arrived - Aphasia.
This ability disrupts teamwork and will not affect individual survival, but it will prevent Bai Wu from expressing his own ideas.
That is to say, from this moment on, although he can still speak—
But Yan Jiu could no longer hear the correct content, all he heard was a bunch of garbled notes.
And the same...
The same thing happened to the last strange story, Bai Wu’s mouth-to-mouth trick was ineffective.
Mouth-to-mouth combat, face-to-face combat, gluttonous tiao, clam, 蕤颥, sole, mullet, hoe, tapir, 籴耋, 瓞耵. Have you discovered that you don't know how to do all these things, and can only do mouth-to-mouth combat? Sorry, your mouth-to-mouth combat is no longer effective. Hohohoho haha ...
"… "
Of course he recognized all these words.
However, it did not affect Bai Wu at all. He suddenly felt that he had encountered the strongest negative buff since he left the tower.
It was as if the world had suddenly targeted him. This feeling was probably like when Lin Wurou lost her mouth in the casino.
Since the prison, mechanical city, Baichuan campus and other areas have removed the rules of companion force growth, Bai Wu has not encountered this rule for a long time.
"It's not impossible, but I can only suppress the last ghost story violently. As for Yan Jiu... I'm afraid I have to wait until I find the fragments of the doomsday puzzle and eliminate the distorted rules before I can find a way to support him. The guardian of the area should be one of the six ghost stories, and I have solved five of them... It seems that this old man who appeared at two o'clock in the morning holds a fragment of the area in his hand."
The last strange story, Bai Wu has already locked on to the old man who appeared in the Tianlou.
This strange story, from the information that Bai Wu has learned so far, has been sorted out like this. The monitor has heard from an old lady living in the apartment -
Rumor has it that in this apartment building, after 2 a.m., an old man would knock on every door and ask if they wanted tea.
The old man was holding a thermos cup in his hand and looked kind and gentle.
Bai Wu was very puzzled. Why would a person in this situation become evil
But now he was sure of one thing, since he couldn't speak... he couldn't use his mouth to trick people...
Fortunately, this time the ghost story will come to me on its own initiative. I only have to wait until two o'clock in the morning for the ghost story to appear and then solve it.
This is not difficult, but from nine o'clock now to two o'clock, it means that I have to experience a negative attribute.
As for Yan Jiu and Lin Rui... in the next few hours, they will have to face the circus forces. Although he is looking forward to it, he is more worried.
Bai Wu did not choose to wait directly, but returned to the observer's house, looking at the various information he left behind, not intending to miss any possibilities and learn as much as possible about the history of the apartment.
While waiting for the final ghost story to come.
If all the ghost stories were transformed into guardian spirits and belonged to him, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
Bai Wu has always been an intuitionist and crisisist.
He always felt that Baichuan City would face an unprecedented catastrophe, perhaps even greater in scale than the seven-day catastrophe seven hundred years ago.
It's just not clear whether it is related to the laughter in the distance, or... some more terrible crisis that has yet to come.
…
…
Outside the tower, Black Gold Island, a few days ago.
Among the many black areas, Black Gold Island has always been ranked at the top in terms of reputation.
This is a huge trade center outside the tower that contains countless treasures and connects many areas. It uses the term "Dread Coin" as one of the media and is operated by large formations built by blacksmiths and merchants.
There are many random evil visitors here every day.
There will also be a lot of random objects appearing. Of course, these visitors did not come voluntarily. Some of them were kept because of certain characteristics, while others were kept because they were not good enough.
In short, on Black Gold Island, under the control of merchants, everyone who comes is a resource, either a treasure in itself or can be turned into treasure.
The Black Gold Island is impregnable, at least among the many black area forces, it is one of the most twisted areas.
Under the effects of the dismantling and reshaping of everything, the blacksmiths and merchants accumulated too much power on the island.
Their cooperation with Jingwu and becoming his slaves made this place have the most powerful guardian.
Perhaps they would be defeated outside the island, but on the Black Gold Island, the merchants and blacksmiths, with the power of the two legendary entries, left countless visitors without any power to resist.
The two legendary forces are the greatest protection rules of this island.
Ever since returning from the disastrous defeat in the Mechanical City, Jing Wu was injured, and the merchant and the blacksmith have been secluded.
Being invincible on the island is only invincible on the island. To have the ability to destroy other black areas outside the island, the merchant and the blacksmith realized that they needed a stronger force.
So for several days in a row, more and more visitors appeared on Black Gold Island.
In the trading market of Black Gold Island, there is a slave trading hall. Those evil "visitors" with relatively useful entries are essentially slaves being traded.
Exchange the right amount of power for a slave, or a merchant exchanges his efforts for some power outside the island.
There is a rich repository of entries here, and through the dismantling and reshaping of everything, these abstract substances are preserved in a peculiar way.
One day, when the power on the island was turned on and the island continued to randomly "draw visitors" from all over the world, the island welcomed a special guest.
"It's rare to see a visitor who is not bound by shackles. Hohohohoho. If Master Jingwu sees you, he will definitely kill you with joy."
Visitors are essentially slaves, forcibly recruited by this island using rules and various powerful props. Therefore, once they enter this island, they will be deprived of their own entries and powers and put in shackles.
But there are also real visitors. Since these beings are not pulled here by the power of the island itself, their abilities will not be taken away, nor will they be put in shackles.
The blacksmith selected slaves and searched for new refining materials, while the merchant met with special visitors.
Merchants, doctors, judges, travelers, blacksmiths, coffin keepers, captains... these evil people who replaced their real names with professional titles were all loyal to a few special forces.
They are not from the same organization, but the leader behind them does have the same word - well.
"Judge, my master is very interested in your body. Wow, you came here uninvited. Should I say you are brave, or... stupid? Tsk tsk, you brought a few distinguished guests with you. This business is really profitable."
The uninvited visitor who appeared on Black Gold Island was the judge.
After escaping from the prison, the judge and the doctor used the power of life and death to cross the River Styx to reach the Yellow Spring Island, and soon received a message.
Fear of the masked monster made the doctor and the judge decide to seek help from a being with supreme power - Jingwu.
The doctor did not come, because it was somewhat guilty of possessing a legendary item.
This entry has always been coveted by the merchants of Black Gold Island.
However, the judge's trip to Black Gold Island did bring several powerful beings.
"You are the owner of Huangquan Island, and I am the owner of Black Gold Island. Haha, I didn't have the chance before, but now I really want to meet you."
Merchants rarely have the desire to fight. They are not interested in fighting, but are interested in one-sided crushing battles.
Although he didn't know the judge's background, the businessman was confident that the judge was no match for him on this island.
"I hold the power of life and death. Although I have no way to defeat you, you should know that this great power comes from the same source as your master. You cannot stop me. Stop your tricks."
The judge's aura is not weak at all.
The situation in the slave hall was tense. The blacksmiths and merchants were in a superior position, but the few evildoers behind the judge did not show any fear.
"It's so annoying! If you want to fight, just fight! If there's something going on, just say it!" an unpleasant voice yelled.
The owner of this voice was not very powerful, he was just an eighth-level mutant, and his level of mutation had been broken through not long ago after he devoured other monsters.
Its body was covered with tumors and was flowing with green corrosive liquid.
The judge nodded and slightly comforted the evil man whose original name was "Danderel".
Seven hundred years ago, it had a good family, but the perverted bloodthirsty desire in its body, coupled with the guidance of a fraudster, turned it into a monster with endless desire to devour.
It had long forgotten its original name. In fact, it preferred to call itself the Devourer.
If the name Dandeler was not related to a human being that it had always cared about, perhaps it would have changed its name.
The blacksmith was very interested in the entry on this evil being - Absolute Regeneration.
It's not just absolute regeneration. Due to Dandeler's special body structure, the blacksmith discovered that although this evil is not strong, if its abilities are used properly, it can have unexpected effects on the battlefield and instantly devour a large number of evils.
But just as the blacksmith tried to use everything to disassemble, a blinding light appeared.
Then, an evil being with a body as smooth as a mirror appeared in front of the blacksmith.
At the moment when the blacksmith was about to swing the hammer to refine Dandelair, his powerful combat experience made him suddenly aware of a sense of crisis!
It made the decision in an instant to stop attacking.
"Are you scared? Although I'm here to seek cooperation, I will not forget the greed of merchants. It is my shield. Even if you dismantle everything, you can't do anything about it."
The judge's black robe fluttered without wind. He had already made a judgment on what might happen on this island. So this time he brought a powerful helper.
The mirror is evil and falls.
After the party in the mine, Hong Yin went to Zaohu Village, while Chen Shuyue, who had a beauty mole, went to a dark castle, but eventually met a woman and left the place again.
And Nie Chongshan became a new traveler.
All three of them have a certain connection with someone, and become the existence pulled by that person's cause and effect.
Only one person was left out. It seemed like it was always left out.
Seven hundred years ago, no one liked it, and no one particularly disliked it. People simply thought that this person was meaningless.
He had no friends, so he started looking for all kinds of urban legends. Ghosts always like humans who seek death, right? But unfortunately, without such feudal superstitions to seduce him, he seemed like a ghost ignoring a bun.
Eventually he discovered that the only person he could interact with was himself in the mirror.
This has more or less become one of its characteristics - forgotten, ignored, and alienated.
Of the four top-level ninth-level fallen evils who killed the previous traveler, three became fellow travelers, and only this mirror evil fell alone.
But now, it is finally needed by someone. After devouring the traveler, the four evil creatures have grown a little.
The hem of a little girl in a red dress has a black edge, the evil demon who looks like a peerless war ghost has become a new traveler, and the beautiful woman with endless splitting ability has possessed even more powerful fighting ability.
The same goes for this Mirror Evil, with the perfect distortion entry: the ability of Mirror Return has been upgraded again, making it even more powerful in rebounding.
Especially after meeting the judge, this ability was transformed by the doctor and has become qualitatively different from other perfect distortion entries.
Although it has not reached the strength of the Legendary Distortion entry, the new entry - "Absolute Mirror Back" can now even bounce back the rules.
This is a comrade who is more powerful than the warden. Relying on the ferry of the River Styx, the judge took it to the Black Gold Island.
Only the strong have the right to speak. Feeling the danger of Mirror Evil Falling and the possibility of Dandeler, who was covered with tumors behind him, the blacksmith took a step back and put away the hammer.
The businessman opened his hands:
"Welcome, welcome. Since this is a business talk, how can I refuse? Tell me, what do you know?"
"I know that a certain lord with supreme power... was defeated in the battle. He was injured and is recuperating. He has accumulated anger and has nowhere to vent it. And I happen to have information about someone he hates. This person is also our common enemy."
The merchant and the blacksmith looked at each other, and this time the merchant couldn't laugh anymore.
"How did you know this information?"
"Some of the wandering souls in the world belong to heaven and earth, some belong to the mechanical city, and some belong to me. The dead souls are used by me, and the information they received during their lifetime is the information I can grasp. It just so happens that some of the dead souls on this island were received by me. The information I know is far more than what you know on Black Gold Island."
The octopus narrowed its eyes and its tentacles began to twist restlessly:
"Go on."
"We all have a common enemy, and we all have powerful subordinates, but our good deeds are always ruined by this common enemy. On your side, that lord is extremely angry, and I think you also hope to calm his anger, and there is such an opportunity in Baichuan. Especially since they plan to establish a new force in that place."
The judge's eyes were fierce:
"I am here to invite you... to dismantle the illusory fantasies of mankind. Prey should have the awareness of being prey."

(I checked and it seems that the requirement for a seven-day burst of updates is that seven days out of fifteen days must be above 8,000 words. Isn't that casual? Just having hands? That's it? Ahem, the burst of updates will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll update once today to sort out the outline. I'll keep my word. If I can't do it, I'll randomly select a lucky leader in female clothing (just kidding, a seven-day burst of updates, mission accomplished.))
