"Any other activity?"
"No."
"Everyone be careful, spread out, surround her."
"yes."
Under Bai Jing's command, the team members remained vigilant and went to the 4th floor one by one.
They gradually dispersed, half of them spread out to both sides, keeping alert outward.
The other half of the personnel raised their guns and aimed at the kneeling woman in front of them, surrounding her.
After most people went upstairs, Xu Le finally saw what the woman looked like.
She was dressed in white and had disheveled hair, looking a bit like Sadako.
Because she lowered her head, I couldn't see what she looked like.
However, every time this happened, Xu Le would wonder if the other person's appearance was extremely scary, such as having holes all over his face or being crawling with bugs.
Then he suddenly looks up and scares people, creating the strongest contrast.
But nothing he expected happened.
Kacha!
Zhou Jie rushed forward and chopped off her dog head, well... maybe it was a human head, or maybe it was a weird head.
"Ah, this..."
Xu Le looked at the headless body of the woman and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhou Jie turned his head and looked at Xu Le, with a serious face:
"You don't think there are normal women here, do you? It's been hundreds of years. If she is really a woman, how ugly must she be?"
Although Xu Le wanted to refute, he thought about it carefully and felt that what Captain Zhou said made sense!
However, Xu Le still wanted to know whether the woman mentioned on the note on the third floor was the woman in front of him.
"Well, as long as the task is completed, other things are not very important."
Xu Le took a step forward and was about to continue touching the corpse, but when he touched the woman's body, his mind suddenly went blank.
…
"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Xu Le asked puzzledly.
Huh? Why did I ask again
Oh? Why did I say again
Xu Le looked at the stairs and the people crowded around them, his expression puzzled.
"There is a woman in front of the stairs." Wang Shu turned his head and said.
"woman?"
"Yes, a woman kneeling in front of us."
"Any movement?"
"No."
"Everyone be careful, spread out, surround her."
"yes."
Xu Le blinked. No... Has the situation before him been repeated
He went up to the 4th floor again, and the familiar scene reappeared.
Phew!
Zhou Jie chopped off the woman's head. Everyone looked at the body vigilantly and waited for Xu Le to touch the body.
"What are you looking at? Isn't it you who touches me every time?"
Xu Le:
Xu Le didn't know what to say for a moment, although he really wanted to shout, why should I touch the corpse
But if you think about it carefully, touching corpses is still a good idea.
"Hey, I'll be right there."
He stood in front of the woman again, stretched out his hand again, and then, he was dazed again.
Looking at the crowd in the corridor again, Xu Le's expression changed.
"Is it an illusion? Or something else?"
He glanced at the warriors around him. These reckless men were completely unaware of anything and they were still rushing forward in an orderly manner.
However, after Xu Le turned his head, he discovered the problem.
Gan and Gu Jianuo were both standing still, with silent expressions, as if they were thinking about something.
Only Gu Beichen ran upwards excitedly.
"This guy doesn't have the brains of a normal warlock."
"Stop." Xu Le suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing his shout, everyone else stopped as well.
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le.
"What's wrong?"
"Trapped in an illusion? Is it an illusion? Or a loop?"
Bai Jing didn't quite understand what Xu Le meant, but at this time Gu Jianuo spoke.
“Warriors cannot discover it, they cannot sense the energy of the Red Moon Spirit and Ancient Sound.
This should be a regular trap created under some special conditions. Most of these things are created by rune warlocks.
If you want to get out, you have to find a solution. Try it.
If that doesn’t work, then we can only use brute force.”
Gu Jianuo said it lightly, which made Xu Le realize that she might really have a way to crack it violently, which is why she said that.
"I see."
This time, Xu Le stopped Zhou Jie from continuing to behead people.
"Captain Zhou, please wait, let me do it."
"OK."
He pulled out his pistol, slowly walked up to the woman, and held the woman's head up with the gun.
A very quiet woman, not very pretty, but not ordinary either.
Probably the kind that would attract some people’s attention when standing in a crowd.
I don’t know if it’s because of the passage of time, but her eyes are full of vicissitudes, as if many things have been covered in dust.
The woman smiled faintly at him, and Xu Le became dazed again.
This time, there was no one in front of Xu Le.
Not only in front of him, there was no one behind him either. Bai Jing, Gan, and Gu Jianuo were all gone.
It seemed that he was the only one left in the corridor of the entire building.
Xu Le hesitated for a while.
"What do you do first when you're in trouble? Run away, right?"
Xu Le walked downstairs without saying a word, but just as he turned the corner, he became dazed again and returned to where he was.
Looking at the stairs, Xu Le sighed.
"Why."
After slowly walking up to the 4th floor and arriving at this floor again, the woman finally raised her head.
Her eyes were calm but firm, as if Xu Le was the person she wanted to find.
"Can we talk now? I don't have much time... anymore."
It feels like a TV drama. Time is running out. Is he going to teach you unique martial arts? He looks like a psychopath.
"Did you trap me here?"
"It's not me, it's you and what's in your hand."
Xu Le frowned slightly. The things in his hand were the items he had obtained before
Xu Le didn't say anything. In the ancient sound multi-perspective, he slowly analyzed the identity of the woman in front of him.
Shameful delusion, special, delusion maid, level 3 weird, light forged polluter, awakening-dream keeper, awakening-memory master
Delusional maid? Is this guy also a level 3 monster
"This kind of private meeting should have a purpose, right? Tell me, I will help if I can."
Xu Le's words stopped there, but the delusional maid in front of him didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning in Xu Le's words.
She just stared at Xu Le quietly and spoke slowly:
"You are the one they commissioned, right? I sense something of theirs from you, but you are a Night Fury, so this might be a bad outcome."
Xu Le was a little puzzled as to why Night Fury was mentioned again.
And this is the second person who said he was Night Fury, the first one was the Statue of Diao.
"I don't know what the commission you are talking about is, and I haven't promised anything, but if you feel it is, then it is."
Xu Le's answer was honest.
Without knowing the other party's background, he does not intend to cheat or deceive rashly.
The current environment is not very safe, and he can't even escape the other party's control.
If you fool yourself into it, you're done for.
The delusional maid nodded:
“I have no more strength left to protect this place, so you don’t have to worry too much about me hurting you.
But before you go to the 5th floor, you'd better listen to my story, the complete story of Baixia Town, which may help you make a decision on the 5th floor."
Can I go directly to the 5th floor without fighting? This result was somewhat beyond Xu Le's expectations.
"What's on the 5th floor?"
"What's on the 5th floor? I can't remember."
The delusional maid's expression was somewhat painful, and even her figure became blurry.
"Hey, that's enough, stop thinking too much about it. Just tell me what you want to say."
After hearing what Xu Le said, the delusional maid stopped thinking and began to tell the story of this place.
"A long, long time ago, Baixia Town was an ordinary town. It was very beautiful and rich, and was a famous tourist destination in the empire.
But no one knew when the people in Baixia Town began to grow white hair.
Originally everyone thought it was just an isolated case, but as time went on, this situation became more and more common, and finally reached an uncontrollable level.
Only when people learned that the life expectancy of those suffering from the disease would be greatly shortened did they realize that it was a disease.
It was at this time that the Bai Kui family returned to the town.
Because his parents are both doctors, after learning that this disease had appeared in their hometown, they were determined to solve this difficult graying disease.
The research on the pathogen went smoothly, and just when Bai Kui's parents were preparing to conduct clinical trials.
The mayor of Baixia Town and the capitalists in the town stopped his parents' experiment.
In the end, Bai Kui's parents were arrested by the mayor of Baixia Town on charges of violating the law and were executed by imperial soldiers."
When the delusional maid said this, Xu Le suddenly raised his hand and asked:
"The mayor you are talking about, is it Wu Anquan?"
The delusional maid looked at Xu Le with a slightly strange look:
"No, that mayor is not Wu Anquan."
"Is Wu Anquan the mayor?"
"Wu Anquan is the mayor, but Wu Anquan... is also ashamed."
Xu Le's eyes suddenly shrank, and the words spoken by the maid made him once again break all his previous assumptions.
If Bai Kui is the savior, then how could he be Wu Anquan
In Shadow Demon's mouth, Wu Anquan is the culprit of everything, so what is Bai Kui's identity
I can’t figure it out!
“It’s so messy.”
"Can you let me continue? My energy is not very strong. Talking to you is a huge consumption. I can't hold on for long."
Xu Le realized that the delusional maid did not lie, at least not about this matter.
The ancient sound energy in her body has become very thin and may dissipate at any time.
Even when talking to him, his body would flicker a little.
"I'm sorry, go ahead."
“Bai Kui was still very young when his parents died, and he witnessed his parents being killed with his own eyes.
But the people in the town didn't know the truth. They thought Bai Kui's parents were killed because they conducted evil research and brought disaster.
They hated Bai Kui and wanted the mayor to execute him.
But the mayor let Bai Kui go and told everyone that Bai Kui was a poor child and was innocent.
While the townspeople were impressed by the mayor's kindness, they also temporarily agreed to let Bai Kui go.
But there will be no shortage of bullying on a daily basis.
Although Bai Kui was very young, he knew that he could not continue to be tortured like this, otherwise he would die in the town.
So he pretended to be crazy and stupid, and went to the Baixia Town Health Center for recuperation..."
Having said that, the delusional maid took a deep breath with a slightly tired look.
When Xu Le heard the delusional maid say this, especially when she mentioned the clinic, he suddenly felt that some ideas came to him.
I feel guilty, I am a doctor at the health center.
"Go on."
“Although there were still people who abused him in the clinic, he was studious, taught himself medicine, and grew up slowly.
In this way, Bai Kui grew up in the clinic.
When Bai Kui was mature enough and strong enough, he killed the doctor during an operation. The doctor's original name was Wu Anquan.
After Wu Anquan died, Bai Kui used potions and medical skills to make himself look like Wu Anquan.
Afterwards, he relied on his medical skills and his understanding of Wu Anquan to become the new Wu Anquan.
After becoming Wu Anquan, Bai Kui began to devote himself to the research of vitiligo again.
At this time, the people of Baixia Town already knew the harm of gray disease, so they naturally supported Bai Kui at this time.
Bai Kui lived up to everyone's expectations and developed Type I of the vitiligo cure, which suppressed the disease in many people.
With the support of the people, Bai Kui overthrew the rule of the mayor and those capitalists and became the new mayor, Wu Anquan."
The delusional maid's tone was very calm, but when she said this, Xu Le was amazed.
The twists and turns and bizarreness of this matter are truly unbelievable.
“After becoming the mayor, Bai Kui continued to research potions, but after the Type II potion, he made no further progress.
Because graying of the skin is not a simple disease at all, but pollution.
So, he began to investigate the cause of the gray disease, and found that there was always the intervention of the imperial sorcerers behind the matter.
Everything in Baixia Town is a testing ground for alchemists and rune wizards.
Bai Kui knew that he was no match for the warlock, but he had no intention of compromising.
He proclaimed the sins of the warlocks in the town square.
While making everything public, we also urge those who are still healthy here to leave as soon as possible.
He also hopes that the remaining patients with gray disease will share his difficulties and find ways to solve the pollution caused by gray disease.
But in the end, the warlocks came here.
And the history of this town ends here.”
Xu Le, who was enjoying the story, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the delusional maid and asked:
"You're done?"
"Well, that's all." The delusional maid nodded.
"That's it... that's all?" Xu Le couldn't accept it.
"Yes, no more."
"But what happened in the end? What happened to Bai Kui? What happened to the townspeople? What about the warlock? You didn't tell me any of this
Eunuchs are not desirable, at least the story should have an ending, right
For example, Bai Kui finally defeated the warlock, saved the townspeople, married more than twenty wives, and lived a happy life without shame or impatience. "
The delusional maid was stunned for a moment, and probably understood what Xu Le meant. The story she told had no ending.
Yes, the story here has no ending.
She had preserved hundreds of years of memories, but there were only so many of them left.
"I don't have the ending you want. I only know that everyone is dead. You have to judge the rest by yourself."
Xu Le frowned slightly. The ending of this matter seemed to have been erased by someone. Was it in vain
What's left is the fifth floor? Is there danger inside? Or is it a choice
"Okay, so what is this so-called hat?"
The delusional maid slowly raised her head at this time, looked at Xu Le, and smiled again.
“I haven’t laughed in hundreds of years, thank you for listening to this story and thank you for letting me get away.
Everything depends on your own judgment, whether it is salvation or destruction."
Save or destroy? Don't put such a big label on me.
The delusional maid said something that Xu Le couldn't understand at all, but before he wanted to continue asking, Xu Le found that the woman in front of him... seemed to become a little blurry.
…
"Xu Le, Xu Le? Why are you in a daze? The captain asked you how you would deal with this."
Gu Beichen took advantage of Xu Le's daze and hit him hard on the chest, waking him up in pain.
"I… "
Xu Le ignored his attempt to take advantage of him and looked at Gu Jianuo.
Gu Jianuo shrugged and said:
"It seems like you've figured it out yourself, isn't that great?"
With Gu Jianuo's signal, Xu Le looked at the woman kneeling on the ground again.
But this woman also became hazy at this moment.
"She seems to be disappearing?" said Gu Beichen on the side.
Xu Le also narrowed his eyes. Yes, the delusional maid in front of him gradually disappeared.
And where she disappeared, a top hat was left.
How can I describe this kind of hat? Xu Le always feels that he looks like a circus member when he wears it. Under normal circumstances, few people would wear it.
Top Hat - Lightforge
Xu Le picked up the hat on the ground. There was no expected note inside, nor any new clues.
Just a bone-like thing, like a rib
Bones of Punishment - Lightforged
Xu Le thought of the words the delusional maid left him.
Save or destroy... what does it mean
After putting everything away and making sure there was no other information, Xu Le stood up and looked at Bai Jing:
"Captain, it seems there is nothing else, and it seems there is no need to fight here."
Bai Jing nodded. The result of not having to fight on the 4th floor was somewhat unexpected, but it was a good thing overall.
Now only the 5th floor is left.
This difficult task seems to have come to an end, but no one knows what is on the 5th floor.
"Alright, everyone check the surroundings and eliminate any danger as much as possible. It's almost over, so cheer up."
"yes."
Although there is only one layer left, people dare not let their guard down.
No one knows what will be on the 5th floor. It would be stupid to open champagne before the task is actually completed.
When everyone started to explore the 4th floor, Xu Le quietly came to Bai Jing:
"Captain, the mission has come to this point. Have we finished exploring enough?"
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le with some doubt:
"What do you want to say? Just say it."
“I just had some contact with that woman. From the information I got from her and the clues in this building, Bai Kui might still be here.
So I think the 5th floor is dangerous, or dangerously weird.”
"Put it more bluntly."
"I suggested not going to the fifth floor, but asking Gu Jianuo for some bombs, surrounding the building, pulling the wires, and with a bang, the building would be gone.
It can be considered as a successful completion of the task. Is this method feasible?"
