After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xu Le and the other person.
"Let's go, the captain is calling us."
"There are too many people at night. Won't there be any mental problems?"
"Although the instability of gathering and resting will increase, think about it, when the team becomes stronger, will you feel more at ease?"
"That's true." Xu Le nodded.
"Yes, everyone will feel at ease, and the stability of mental energy will also be improved."
"I see."
The three of them came to Bai Jing happily. Bai Jing first glanced at Xu Le, and after confirming that Xu Le was okay, she turned to Niu Yuan:
"Old Cow, how does it feel to be with Xu Le?"
"Well, Xu Le performed very well. We encountered a ghost species at the station before. If it weren't for Xu Le's timely response, Shunliu and I would have been in danger."
Lao Niu actually didn’t say enough.
As a level 3 Night's Watch warrior, he actually has some hidden cards.
When Xu Le was trying to find a way to save him and Li Shunliu, his eyes were already flickering, showing signs of breaking free from mental control.
It’s just that Xu Le was the first to break the ghost’s control, and the method he used to break it was less harmful than if he broke free on his own.
"Yes, Xu Le performed very well." Li Shunliu also gave affirmation.
After hearing the two people's comments, Bai Jing pulled Xu Le aside and started a private chat again:
"I listened to their comments. Although there was some exaggeration in them, your performance should have satisfied them.
How was it, how did it feel like coming out for the first time... Oh, by the way, this wasn’t your first time coming out, it should be your fourth time
You must have some experience, right? No wonder you can be so calm. "
Listening to Bai Jing teasing him, Xu Le looked sad.
He had shitty experience; those who had experience were the original owners. This was really his first time in the wild, if the equipment test a few days ago didn't count.
"No, Captain... My experiences are nothing compared to the pioneering missions of the Night's Watch.
Here you need to face the monsters, including deformed species, zombies, ghost species, and we also encountered an ancient god, although we didn't meet him face to face.
After all, we used to explore within the frontier area. In terms of danger, the work of the night watchman is dozens of times more dangerous than my previous explorations.
"Hey? Didn't Gu Beichen and Wang Shu come over?"
Xu Le took a look at the team. Gu Beichen and the others had indeed not arrived. Was he later than them
Bai Jing also frowned and nodded:
"It's a bit late indeed, let's wait a little longer, wait till 8 o'clock and see.
Okay, tell me first, what did you gain from this operation?"
Bai Jing's eyes were slightly expectant, while Xu Le was a little hesitant.
Are you asking him for money
Xu Le stared at Bai Jing's expectant eyes and felt a little scared.
Thinking about Bai Jing's daily abuse of power for personal gain, he reluctantly took out the fragments that fell from the ghost body.
"You know, I'm new here, and this is all I got."
Bai Jing:
Seeing that Bai Jing didn't say anything, Xu Le thought that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
He pulled another small piece of moonstone from his pocket.
This moonstone is the one on top of the telephone, well, it's bleeding heavily.
Bai Jing:
Seeing that his captain still didn't speak, Xu Le silently cursed her in his heart as an old witch and a vampire.
"Captain, you are not going to leave me any? Okay, okay, here you go."
As Xu Le spoke, he took out the small dream account book from his arms and placed it carefully in front of Bai Jing.
Bai Jing picked up the account book, flipped through it casually, and then threw it at Xu Le's face.
"Why the hell are you giving me this? You're crazy about money. Do you understand what I'm asking you to do?"
Xu Le was stunned at first, then delighted, and asked tentatively:
"Uh, doesn't it cost money?"
Bai Jing almost laughed out of anger:
"Am I a money-conscious person in your eyes?"
"I don't know about other things, but the captain is very good at abusing his power for personal gain."
Xu Le said this cautiously, and after he finished speaking, he did not forget to secretly glance at Bai Jing. He could still remember clearly the way Bai Jing made money.
Bai Jing picked up the moonstone on the ground and hit Xu Le on the head.
"Using power for personal gain, right? You've been to college for a few years, right? You know how to use words after studying for a few years, right?"
"Stop swearing, stop swearing!"
"Is that what I'm asking you? I'm asking if you found anything on this mission, any information, any clues about the town.
And there's something wrong with this town, understand?"
Hearing this, Xu Le was sure that Bai Jing didn't want his things. He put the things away first, then said with a smile:
"Oh, Captain, you are such a fool. I thought you wanted my money. I am too narrow-minded. I don't think a man like the Captain would compete with the people for profit."
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le's greedy look and wanted to punch him twice.
But considering that he is a warlock and is very fragile, if he is really killed, all the investment will be wasted.
"If you have to fart, do it now!"
"Uh, clues about the town. Let me think about it."
Xu Le recalled carefully, and Bai Jing did not interrupt. Then Xu Le began to speak slowly:
“I found something wrong. The first was that the people who stayed at their desks to work were basically dead in the same state.
Then there are the office staff, almost all of them have white hair.
You should know that the main component of hair is sulfur-containing keratin. Although it can normally be stored for 50-100 years, it will still rot.
Only after special treatment can hair be preserved permanently... "
"Stop, stop, stop, stop telling me about those detailed subject materials, I'm too lazy to listen.
Share your own thoughts and analysis."
Bai Jing waved her hand to stop Xu Le from continuing his academic analysis, but Xu Le didn't have a clearer idea:
“There are too few data and clues to make a detailed analysis.
But I think the collective death of these office workers, as they all had white hair, must have meant that they died under some kind of force or conditions.
This kind of force, or rule, or individual creature, should be very powerful."
"Anything else?"
"there is none left."
After listening to Xu Le, Bai Jing nodded slowly.
It was indeed as Xu Le said, she also noticed some information during the pioneering mission.
But the information she collected was not as carefully planned and analyzed as Xu Le's. Of course, she would not say such things in front of Xu Le, as that would undermine her dignity as captain.
“Well, I also think that they should have been killed at the same time by some force.
Your analysis is similar to what I thought. You are a teachable person."
Xu Le glanced at Bai Jing with a little suspicion, you are not just copying my answers without thinking about anything, right
But it was impossible to express this thought in words.
Xu Le hesitated for a moment. Although backing out now would affect morale, he still decided to speak out the question he had thought of before:
"Captain, if a very powerful monster appears here, what should we do?"
Xu Le originally thought that Bai Jing would scold or blame him, but he didn't expect her to answer immediately:
"escape."
"Ah?" Xu Le thought he had heard it wrong.
“When you encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat, you must escape immediately to avoid excessive damage.
The pioneer mission is not to defend the Black Tide, the most important thing is to preserve the manpower of the lighthouse.
Of course, when there is no way to retreat, we must also fight bravely. "
"I see."
I also told Bai Jing some details of the mission, especially the strange abilities of the level 2 ghost.
After the conversation, Bai Jing stood up and looked in the other direction of the block.
"It's 8 o'clock, and Gu Beichen and Wang Shu's group haven't come back yet. Considering their abilities, this doesn't make sense."
"Should we go over and search now?"
Bai Jing looked at the sky. It was already dark at 8 o'clock.
Of course, it’s summer now, so it’s not completely dark at 8 o’clock. The darkness level will probably be around 3.
In the dark outdoors, collective support is a very stupid act.
When moving at night, firstly, it is impossible to maintain a stable state of light. Secondly, facing the darkness, everyone's mental energy fluctuates very differently.
Once someone's mental energy exceeds the standard, they will definitely immediately attract the weirdness in the dark, and even actively cause the weirdness to occur.
Once a monster appears, the impact of the monster on the team will inevitably cause more mental energy fluctuations.
Then comes the classic mode, monster spawning at night + using heart energy to attract monsters + quantitative change leading to qualitative change, using heart energy to spawn monsters infinitely, and then leading to the whole team being wiped out.
This situation is the most likely to occur in the wild.
The more teammates set up the nest, the more fish they catch.
Of course, the fisherman here refers to the weird, and people are the fish.
"Lao Niu will guard here, and I and..."
Bai Jing originally wanted to call Lao Gan along. After all, the two of them have been working together for many years, and their level of tacit understanding has long been self-evident.
But when Bai Jing was about to call Lao Gan's name, Lao Gan shook his head at Bai Jing:
"No, I can't go now."
Xu Le was stunned. Teacher Gan would actually directly reject the captain
And the captain didn’t seem angry. Is the warlock so powerful
Bai Jing frowned slightly. She knew that Gan's situation was a little special.
"Since Gan can't go, then Xu Le will go. You are also a psychic, so the effect will be similar."
"Uh, me?"
Xu Le pointed at his nose, and he looked a little reluctant.
"What? Is there a problem?"
"No, Captain. I'm just a new guy. I don't know anything. You asked me to go out with you in the middle of the night. Aren't you thinking too highly of me?"
Xu Le had a conflicted expression, mainly because he was afraid of death, but Bai Jing's words quickly moved him.
"If you are afraid of death, you might as well change your way of thinking. Imagine that I am the strongest person in the entire Night's Watch Team 6.
If something bad can happen to you even when you are with me, it only means that the danger is so strong that it is irresistible. Something bad can happen to you anywhere.
So it is safest for you to follow me."
Xu Le thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make some sense.
"Thank you, Captain, for not giving up. Xu Le will respectfully obey your orders."
Bai Jing curled her lips. The guy in front of her was really practical.
However, in Bai Jing's opinion, Xu Le is indeed the best candidate besides Gan.
Every Red Moon Warlock is a master at controlling mental energy. To be able to become a Red Moon Warlock means that one has a stronger ability to adjust mental energy than the average person.
Just like Gan, most of the time, the stability of his mental energy is even better than that of her, the captain.
Gan once mentioned to her the stability of Xu Le's mental energy.
At that time, Gan Jue and Bai Jing asserted that Xu Le's level of mind control was higher than his, and that he was a natural controller of the night.
People like Xu Le have the opportunity to become true lighthouse keepers.
They are the twelve night watchmen on the upper level of the lighthouse.
"Since you think it's okay, let's go."
"Leaving now?"
"Time is running out, what do you think?"
Xu Le was pulled up by Bai Jing and started walking towards the third block.
The sky gradually darkened, and when Xu Le opened the ancient sound multi-vision, some information prompts appeared.
Currently in an open area, the light intensity of the area is 3, and it is currently in a dark state. Level 1 weirdness will appear in a random direction after 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
…A Level 1 anomaly will appear in a random direction after 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
…A Level 1 anomaly will appear in a random direction after 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
Xu Le looked at the countdown getting closer and closer, and finally couldn't help but ask Bai Jing:
"Captain, aren't we going to turn on the lights? It's dark now, and it's easy for something strange to happen if we run like this!"
“I should be able to handle wild monsters if they are not level 4 monsters.
As for the law of darkness, if I calculated correctly, the current light level is about 3, and we have been in darkness for about 7 minutes.
According to the 10-minute rule for the appearance of a weird thing, we still have about 2 minutes of safe exploration time, and it won’t be too late to turn on the lights after 2 minutes.”
"Is it necessary to be so detailed?" Xu Le didn't quite understand.
"There are three types of people who can travel in the dark. Do you know which three types they are?"
"have no idea."
“The first type is the absolutely powerful people, whose strength can ignore the Night Demons and even the Lord-level monsters.
The second type is people who have enough energy to illuminate themselves and whose minds are very stable.
The third type is those who are familiar with and adept at using the laws of darkness."
Xu Le was thoughtful.
"So, we have to be people who are familiar with and adept at using the rules of darkness?"
“No, if conditions permit, it would be better to be either of the above two types of people, but most of the time we have no choice.
The energy of the lighting equipment can last for about 3 hours, and this is the product of the most advanced alchemical technology.
To dispel the darkness and enter the second round of darkness refresh rules, you need to turn on the lighting for at least 1 hour.
In the darkness, 3 hours of lighting is not enough to sustain a long battle, so we have to save as much as possible. "
After hearing this, Xu Le understood.
"I understand. The second principle of free thinking is to never let important things become urgent, and try not to put yourself in a desperate situation."
Bai Jing smiled slightly. It was indeed easier to talk to smart people.
"Yes, that's the truth."
The two ran one after the other and had already arrived deep into the third block. This area in front of them had obviously not been explored by anyone.
In other words, Gu Beichen and the others didn't even reach this area.
There is usually only one possibility when this happens: something happened to a team member.
"Captain, Gu Beichen and the others..."
“Keep your emotions stable.”
"I see."
Xu Le did not explain much about his mental state.
He also knew that Bai Jing did not have a soul tree like him, and worrying too much about his emotions would only transform into mental energy that attracted strange things in the darkness.
The two took turns turning on the lights while searching.
This can save some energy.
Bai Jing attacked three times along the way, and each time he used an ordinary sword to completely smash the monsters blocking their way.
Although Bai Jing didn't say much, it could be seen from the three strange corpses with incomplete limbs that Bai Jing was not as calm as she appeared.
Xu Le didn't say anything either. He opened the range of the ancient sound multi-perspective to the maximum.
Soon, he had an idea!
"Captain, ahead, in the house on the left, about 1,900 meters, it should be in the basement, or somewhere deeper."
"You're so thin?" Bai Jing was surprised.
Xu Le paused for about 2 seconds, and then began to talk a little stubbornly:
"To be precise, I mean accurate, not detailed."
