Hilarus.
It was early in the morning, and the noisy city that never sleeps had become quiet. Although there were still people walking on the street and some non-closing shops were open, the hustle and bustle of the daytime was no longer visible.
Players hide in various streets and alleys, while watching the time, while staring at their targets, they can flirt with the world when they are bored.
Biscuit Bear, I really have no money, you and I under the lemon tree are freshmen in the history department this year, and members of Shang Shan Ruo Shui. Play together.
The first person who discovered the hidden mission was that I was really out of money. After he confirmed the mission, he immediately notified his two good friends and asked them to come too. Fortunately, the three were assigned to the same place.
At this moment, the three of them were huddling together to stare at their target.
This is an unremarkable independent cottage, the most common Dolly Union style, blending in with the surrounding buildings, without any outstanding features.
I'm really out of money typing in a three-person liaison group: it doesn't look like it's hiding anything dangerous at all.
Bear Biscuit: According to my experience, the more ordinary this kind of place looks, the more problematic it must be inside.
You and me under the lemon tree: +1, I thought so too.
I'm really out of money: it's already three o'clock, and there's class tomorrow, shall we just spend the night in the game like this
Bear Biscuit: The game cabin has a fatigue recovery function, and the liver will not affect the body overnight.
You and me under the lemon tree: It doesn't affect the liver for a month.
I'm really out of money: Having said that, attention is distracted and takes a while to recover.
Bear Biscuit: Anyway, tomorrow is an online class, and the professor doesn't ask us to go to the classroom in person, just take a rest and watch the replay then.
I really have no money: You are not afraid of failing the exam, the chief said that those who fail the exam will be kicked out of the guild.
You and me under the lemon tree: Then you go offline.
Bear Biscuit: Then you go offline.
I'm really out of money: I don't, this is the first hidden mission in my life.
This kind of scene is happening in almost all kinds of places. Players are chatting while waiting for the time to come. Others are running anxiously on the way to pick up the mission. Seeing that the time is getting shorter and shorter, their footsteps are getting faster and faster. They hide the mission, and if they miss it, they will regret it for a whole year! ! ! !
·
Time passed little by little, and Hilaris became quieter and quieter.
Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, it arrived.
All the players waiting in the dark rushed towards their target, and used various methods to sneak into the room quietly. Facing the normal-looking room, the players felt a little difficult.
"You say, what should I move first?"
"Bookcase, this must not be let go. Generally speaking, there are problems here. Either there is a secret hidden in a certain book, or there is an ulterior secret room behind the bookcase."
"It makes sense, I'm going."
"Fuck! There is really a secret room behind the bookcase, but the door is so tight, I can't open it..."
"Stay away and watch my invincible wall penetration technique!!!"
"Damn, can you move slower, you almost solved it with me!!!"
"If you're not dead, hurry up and pack things together! If you keep on talking, maybe the city guards will come!!"
"Keep your voice down, the dead pig will wake up!!"
In another unremarkable house.
"You see, there is a mechanism on this table! There is also an incomprehensible code engraved on it. There must be something wrong. What if you can't open it?"
"Just take the table off?"
"No, it's too strong, and I don't know what has been reinforced inside."
"Then move the table together and let the npc remove it by itself!"
Looks like a peaceful seaside cabin.
"Why can't you see anything of value in this room?"
"The tables and cabinets are full of fishing gear, nothing suspicious at all, and such a small house can't hide even one person."
"Did we come by mistake?"
"Impossible, the guidance given by the npc is not wrong..."
"I'm going to tear down the floor! I can't believe I can't find anything!"
"Then I'll tear down the roof!"
"Don't let go of other things, maybe it's just pretending to be normal!"

Xiao Zhi found a place where no one was around and squatted down, using the address book to observe the movements of the players. So far, it seems that the actions of the players are going smoothly, and there are no obstacles for the time being.
While he was slightly relieved, Xiao Zhi thought of another thing.
He found a piece of white paper, hand-painted a copy of the magic circle he had seen behind Asen, and then sent a screenshot of the hand-drawn drawing to Li Daye.
Although the teacher is an unreliable but trustworthy person, Xiao Zhi still didn't want to send him the picture of Asen's naked back. I can see!!".
Seventeen: Teacher, do you know what magic circle this is
Hillholms Van Surina Jalarentia: Huh? Let me see…
After a while.
Hillholms Van Surina Jalarentia: This one has a very traditional Brace style, but I have seen that the Brace circle that has been circulated in the outside world does not have such a complicated structure.
Hill Holmes Van Surina Gallarentia: [Picture], you see, this structure is used to limit strength, and this [Picture] is used to stabilize the formation. I speculate that this formation probably has nothing to do with blessings or healing. It may be used to seal some evil spirits, or to imprison and torture. The specifics are still unclear, and it may be possible to get in touch with Breth's senior management to interpret it.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help frowning, it was Blaise again.
Why did Blaise's formation appear so rudely behind Arsen? What did they do to him? And Blaise has always been hostile to Hesse, and why
Hillholmes Van Surina Jalarentia: Where did you see this, little apprentice
Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, a little confused about how to answer.
The understanding second-year-old seems to have noticed something.
Hill Holmes Van Surina Gallarentia: Forget it, I don’t ask. As the predestined life mentor of the teenagers chosen by fate, I won’t ask too many questions.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, the teacher is really a likable old man.
Hillholms Van Surina Gallarentia: That's it, I'll let you know if I have a new inspiration on my side, bye.
Seventeen: Thank you teacher, goodbye.
Xiao Zhi greeted Wei Di by the way, and got Wei Di's reply that everything was normal, which made him feel at ease.

The uncle came to play and sneaked into a mansion with his teammates.
The appearance of this mansion is very gorgeous, but it is said that no one comes in or out at ordinary times, but there are occasional lights in the middle of the night, and it has the name of haunted house nearby, so that the surrounding residents dare not approach it.
However, this kind of name is not a problem at all for the Athanasi people whose life goal is death.
The uncle came to play and took the lead to climb into the courtyard wall of the mansion from an inconspicuous corner.
The courtyard was barren, with dead branches and young weeds on the ground, and mice and insects could occasionally be seen crawling through it. There were also many withered vines crawling on the gorgeous outer walls of the mansion, making it even more spooky.
Several people exchanged glances and quietly entered the room.
The interior was the same as the exterior, with dust accumulation, and many dead leaves were blown into the interior with the wind and rain, sticking to the walls and the ground, forming a thick layer of stains.
Several people lowered their voices to discuss.
"There seems to be no one here."
"With such a thick stain on the ground, if someone walks by, it will definitely leave marks. You see, there is nothing here."
"But the mission indicated here, there must be something hidden here."
"You said... Could it be that the above is just a cover-up, and the real secret is hidden underground? There must be a basement underneath such a big house."
"Wise, girl."
"I am over-flattered."
Several people speculated about the location of the basement again, and walked down. This time, they found different traces.
"It seems a bit too clean here. Judging from the appearance above, mold should have grown on the bottom."
"Sure enough, there is a problem."
"Be careful, there may be someone hiding inside. This kind of time may be their working hours."
"What a miserable night shift social animal."
While talking, several people carefully inspected the basement. There are many rooms here. The uncle came to play and mastered the lockpicking skills proficiently, leading his teammates to search one by one.
The rooms along the road are all normal, nothing weird can be seen, as if they have been abandoned for a long time, until they entered a room in the corner.
The door of this room is different from the others. The uncle came to play and tried several times but failed to open it. There was a magic circle flashing on it. Feeling that it is here in all likelihood, several people made a total calculation and decided to directly destroy the door violently.
The interior is really different, the area inside is not big, but there are many black lacquered cabinets everywhere, I don’t know what is hidden inside, and there is a small teleportation array in the corner, no wonder no one has entered or exited the mansion. It turned out that he came to the room directly through teleportation.
There is also a large table in the middle, without any dust on it, obviously it is often used.
"It must be here!"
"Quick, put away all these boxes!"
A few people were excitedly putting away, when suddenly there was a slight rustling sound from the table, "Master, come to play!" Looking in the direction of the sound, the pen placed on the table stood up by itself, and it was on the white paper. What is written.
Players are not unfamiliar with this, this is the effect of magic items, it can be used as a telegraph to some extent, but there is a distance limit, and it is not too convenient to prepare paper yourself.
Now this situation shows that they have gained something new! !
Several people couldn't help getting excited, waiting for the content to be written. Although they couldn't understand the secret text above, the task was to take away the evidence anyway, and it wasn't for them to interpret it. It didn't matter whether they could understand it or not.
Just when they were concentrating, there were subtle footsteps in the room, and then a gust of icy wind passed behind them, carrying a suffocating coldness.
In an instant, the two people in the team fell down directly.
Everyone looked back in horror, only to see a man in a gorgeous uniform holding a sword, looking at them with cold eyes, there was no emotion in those eyes, only a strong killing intent.
Then, the man rushed towards them with a sword in his hand. His movements were crisp and sharp, obviously a skill he had cultivated in killing all the year round. Soon, he eliminated the others one by one, leaving only the one standing in the innermost corner. My uncle is here to play.
The uncle came to play, I was startled, and subconsciously covered the paper and pen on the table with my back.
"Do you know who I am—" He tried to say a few trash words to delay, but found that the other party didn't mean to talk nonsense to him at all, and directly stabbed his chest with a sword quickly and accurately.
At the last moment before he died, the uncle came to play and was still in the mood to think. This swordsman's level is so high and his swordsmanship is so good. He was given away in seconds.
The man's name is Dallest, and although he is of human race, he is one of the confidantes of Grand Duke Warren. Grand Duke Warren’s subordinates send a lot of news every day, and naturally it is impossible for the Grand Duke to read all of them, so he has to screen the news he receives every day. If it is not important, there is no need to bother the Grand Duke. up.
This is one of the strongholds for processing news. The magic circle on the gate has the function of warning. Once it is destroyed, it will send out an alarm in secret. After receiving the reminder, he rushed over quickly.
After dealing with the intruder, Dalyast frowned instead.
The bodies of the interlopers disappeared, except for the bodies of one race on the continent—the Athanasi.
But why did the Athanasi suddenly break into here? Because the logic of the Athanasi's behavior is so strange, and they rush to the front line of death all year round, it is difficult for Daliast to judge what they are here for.
Are they playing some weird haunted house adventure again? Or are they trying to steal something? Or want to find some treasure
Dalyast looked around, and suddenly his pupils constricted.
The file box is gone!
Although the news that was only screened out did not need to be checked by the Grand Duke himself, it can be regarded as confidential, and now it is all gone.
He took a few steps forward to inspect the table surrounded by the group of Athanasi. There was originally a piece of paper and a magic pen on the table, so as to receive sudden news at any time, but now there is nothing, not even the water cup and ink bottle, and only a bare table is left.
But most importantly, the paper is gone, and the group of Athanasi may have taken the news that just came!
Feeling something was wrong, Daliaste immediately turned around and stepped into the teleportation circle again, and must report to His Excellency the Grand Duke immediately!

52 Nut Street is one of Teague's mansions, which has the advantage of being large and spacious.
Xiao Zhi saw that No. 52 Nut Street was almost filled with all kinds of things brought by the players, and he estimated that the time would be around the same. He was also going to notify Duke Sharona.
At this time, the sky was still dark, and it was the darkest hour of the night.
When the contact card was lit up, the seriously injured Duke Sharona was sleeping. Sartre, who was waiting by the side, looked at her peaceful sleeping face, hesitant in his heart. The clerk sent a contact. It must be something very important, but His Excellency the Duke's body...
Sartre sighed, stood up and walked towards the bed. He knew Duke Sharona well, and he knew exactly what the other party would choose.
Sartre woke up the Duke of Sharina: "Your Excellency, Mr. Clerk's contact."
Duke Sharina didn't sleep dead, she woke up when there was some movement, she said softly, "Come on."
Xiao Zhi's voice came with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest late at night, but I have prepared a gift for you, I'm sure you will like it very much. I put it at No. 52 Nut Street, Please forgive me for not being able to pack it in time because of the urgent time.”
A smile bloomed on Duke Sharina's pale face: "Mr. Clerk's movements are really fast."
"To show my sincerity, but this gift is a bit big, please send more people to receive it," Xiao Zhi said, and then added, "Before Grand Duke Warren realizes it."
Duke Sharona: "Thank you for your reminder."
After finishing the communication, Duke Sharina said to Sartre: "Send someone over there immediately, and take the Southern City Guard with you, so as not to cause any accidents."
Sutter bowed and saluted: "Yes."
"By the way." Duke Sharona said firmly, "I remember that you have developed a new medicine that can speed up the recovery of wounds."
Sutter frowned slightly: "But the effect of that medicine is not stable yet, and there may be side effects."
Duke Sharona looked at Sartre's eyes that were different from those of ordinary Xiyue tribe, and there was no fear in his smile: "It's worth a try, let's speed up the circulation of the white magic circle, I can't wait."
"This will increase your pain and physical burden..." Sutter didn't finish his sentence, but stopped. He looked at Duke Sharina's eyes that were still astonishingly beautiful despite the traces of time, and sighed in his heart, helplessly. said, "Yes, Your Excellency."
Sartre was about to exit the bedroom to inform the others.
At this time, the voice of the Duke of Sharina came from behind him: "Don't worry, I won't die, just slowly recuperate my body later, you won't let me have an accident, right?"
Hearing this, the worries in Sartre's heart subsided, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Please rest assured and leave it to me."

Chaos occurred in almost all the strongholds. Some of them were awakened by the movements made by the Athanasi people, some were guarded by people, and some had teleportation arrays installed for warning.
Once the guards wake up, they will fight the Athanasis, but those Athanasis are like lunatics, even if they are killed, they will take everything they can take before they die, whether it is a box or a cabinet Or a teapot, a fruit basket or even a trash can, just like a bunch of locusts.
Almost at the same time, many people came to the mansion of Grand Duke Warren to seek an audience.
Grand Duke Warren got up with a gloomy face. He was not young, and his face was full of years. At this moment, there were deep dark circles under his eyes, and he looked very haggard. After listening to the news reports from his subordinates who were similar but not different, his face turned livid.
Athanasiians! ! These lunatics! What exactly do you want to do? ! ! !
If it was to steal information, such an act would be too much fanfare, and what are you doing with fruit baskets, teapots, and trash cans? It's almost like messing around. But if they are talking about nonsense, their actions are too neat, it doesn't look like a whim at all,
At the same time, he was also a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that this group of Athanasis didn't just think it was fun, and there must be someone manipulating them behind them.
Grand Duke Warren gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them... no, find out their purpose."
When the North City Guards, who were on the side of Grand Duke Warren, and the killers who sneaked in rushed to the stronghold, they saw empty houses.
After the unremitting efforts of the Athanasi people, going forward one after another, and forgetting their lives, the furniture in each stronghold basically disappeared, a layer of floor tiles was stripped off, the wall skin was also peeled off, and even the roofs were damaged. It was demolished cleanly, and it was worse than the ruins in the suburbs.
They tried to find prisoners for torture, but found that the Athanasis who participated were either killed, or wiped their necks when they saw the situation was not good. Relying on their own resurrection, they did not even leave them alive.
unacceptable!
There were still many residents around who were woken up and opened their doors to watch the excitement, looking around, and were expelled by the North City Guards.
There was no way, they could only go back and return to their orders without gaining anything.
After listening to the latest news reported by his subordinates, Grand Duke Warren's face was almost as dark as the tail of the Yuan clan.
It feels like my underpants have been ripped clean.

After notifying Duke Sharona, Xiao Zhi began to think about the players.
Xiao Zhi thought, anyway, Hesse's trade zone is open, and it is about to cooperate with the Dolly Alliance. When manpower is needed, it is better to outsource these tasks to enthusiastic players as rewards, let them work two jobs but only receive a salary.
The experience brought by this kind of long-term stable daily life is very objective, and the income is much higher than going to Chiba City to plant green onions for Chiba Wu, and sometimes you can receive tasks with higher difficulty and higher rewards, presumably players They will be very happy.
Xiao Zhi feels like a profiteer, but bullying Silly Baitian enjoys it for a while, and it always feels good to bully him.
It seems that they understand the happiness of the Xiyue clan more and more.
The sky gradually brightened, and the players also received a system notification that the task was completed:
"You completed the quest 'The Long Night Will End'"
"Please go to the Hesse Trade Zone in three days to receive the 'Long Night Badge', with which you can receive follow-up tasks"
Although the large amount of experience brought by completing the hidden missions makes people feel happy, this prompt confuses many players.
"Why is the pick-up location in Hesse?"
"Yeah, isn't this the hidden mission of the Dolly Alliance?"
"Didn't you notice that one of the two npcs who sent us the mission is not clear, but the other is suspected to be a zombie?"
"ha?"
"How did you find out??"
"I'm a priest by profession, so I'm more sensitive to death."
"Actually, I found out too, but I didn't see anyone bringing it up. I didn't dare to say it for fear of affecting the mission."
"Wait! Does this mean that the Dolly Alliance and Hesse are really going to form an alliance???"
"Fuck!"
"The lord of Hesse can actually do this for the clerk!! What kind of fairy love is this!!"
"What kind of fairy love? Why do I feel like I can't even taste the taste of a melon?"
"You don't know yet, is your home disconnected? Let me tell you, this is the latest and hottest gossip on the mainland. It has spread all over the Dolly Alliance. It is said that Lord Hesse and the clerk..."
