Sheriff of Sheti City.
Gu Moli never expected that this character who served as the NPC at the beginning of the previous script would appear again in the second script. What this reflects is that he is not just a simple guest role.
It's the whole worldview.
"Isn't the game's script going to share the same worldview as "Four Detectives"..."
"If that's the case..."
Gu Moli took a deep breath, and the mysterious young man who appeared at the end of the script involuntarily flashed through his mind. It was obvious that guy was the real mastermind behind the Sheti City incident.
And now that Sheriff Jack has shown up.
Will that mysterious young man also show up
Shaking his head and getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gu Moli took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Sheriff Jack: "Nice to meet you, Officer."
"Me too."
Unlike in Sheti City, the role played by Gu Moli this time was obviously of high status, so Officer Jack forced a bright smile on his face.
"Come to think of it, if I remember correctly, the police officer originally worked in Sheti City, right?"
"... ..eh?"
Facing Gu Moli's greeting, Officer Jack seemed a little surprised: "Yes... How did the doctor know?"
"Hahaha, don't look at me like this. I actually have a good detective friend in Sheti City. Mike Rowell told me about you."
“… ... ... ..”
As soon as Gu Moli finished speaking, Officer Jack's face suddenly became a little stiff: "Mike Rowell... Ah, yes, there is an outstanding detective with this name in Sheti City..."
"You know him too? How's he doing lately? I haven't been in touch with him for a while."
Seeing Gu Moli's honest look, Officer Jack looked a little embarrassed. He changed the subject stiffly and said, "It's almost time. I'll tell you the details after we get to the base. There's already a welcoming convoy waiting for you outside."
“I see.”
Gu Moli narrowed his eyes slightly.
No more running away.
It seems that Sheriff Jack does know the detective he played last time, and based on his reaction, Mike Rowell was most likely arrested as described in the cards. In other words, the two game scripts not only have the same world view, but also a coherent timeline.
Is there any hidden setting here
No... ..
Come to think of it, is this really just a game world
Although the flow of time in the game world is different from that in the real world, the time in the game world is obviously also changing. Gu Moli had read a novel before, which said that players thought they were in the game, but in fact they had traveled to another world. Would the setting of this hero trial be the same
“This is a very sophisticated space.”
While Gu Moli continued to chat with Sheriff Jack, he quickly looked at this old friend.
Neat clothes, upright posture, meticulous demeanor of a soldier. He might not only be a police officer, but also have a military background, and a not small one at that, otherwise a city-level police chief would not be able to participate in the exploration of ancient ruins.
Considering the introduction of the game, it is obvious that this game is extremely dangerous, and the people who pick you up obviously have a strong military background. It can be said that it is almost like the military is escorting you. There is only one word difference between pick up and escort, but there is a huge difference in safety.
In other words.
There is a high chance that something will happen on the way to pick up or drop off.
Although he made such reasoning and judgment, when Gu Moli walked out of his house.
He was still a little scared.
What was parked at the door was definitely not just a convoy as Jack said, but a whole armed platoon! Three armed personnel carriers, roadblocks to block vehicles, and dozens of armed soldiers with real guns and live ammunition protected the entire house behind Gu Moli.
"This is... .?"
"I'm sorry, Doctor. As you know, this mission is somewhat dangerous, so we have to be nervous. But don't worry, we will definitely protect your safety." Officer Jack explained helplessly. Obviously, he also felt that this would scare Gu Moli, the "old doctor".
But this was the arrangement from above, and Jack had no choice.
"I see."
Gu Moli nodded calmly on the surface.
But in my heart I couldn't help but curse.
Damn it.
Does this look like a dangerous situation? If I didn't know, I would think you were here to round up terrorists!
... .etc.
Could they really be terrorists
Gu Moli's eyes turned and he thought of the mysterious young man in Sheti City.
Before he could continue thinking, Jack waved his hand in front of him:
"Here, please get in the car."
"... .OK."
Under Jack's guidance, Gu Moli got on a troop carrier. But before he even sat down properly, he glanced out the window casually and saw a flash of fire on the roof of a flat building not far away.
... .fire
Oh my god!!!
Gu Moli's on-the-spot reaction ability was demonstrated in just a few seconds. He did not panic and try to run out of the troop carrier because it was simply unrealistic and time did not allow it. So he simply put his hands on his head, lay down in the troop carrier, and curled up.
"PhD?"
boom!!!
Before the soldier in the troop carrier could finish his words, the entire troop carrier seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer. The entire vehicle shook violently and broke free from the constraints of gravity. It actually flew into the air, then turned around in the air before falling heavily back to the ground.
Although those soldiers reacted quickly, they were no match for Gu Moli who had been well prepared. They were all dizzy and disoriented by the sudden collision. Although Gu Moli had anticipated the beginning and had taken precautions, he did not expect the opponent's appearance to be so violent.
What will definitely keep me safe.
I don't believe you!
A moment later, the sounds of fierce gunfire and the soldiers' roars filled Gu Moli's ears.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! They are from the Heavenly Brigade!"
"Damn it!"
"Establish a defense line! Everyone, focus your fire! Don't panic! Doctor, are you okay?"
Accompanied by a burst of noise, the rear door of the troop carrier where Gu Moli was was violently knocked open, and Officer Jack's somewhat embarrassed face appeared in his sight. However, unlike his previous elegant demeanor, Officer Jack's expression at this time was very ugly.
"They are here to hold you hostage, Doctor."
"The secret has been leaked!"
"We need to move immediately!"
"Transfer?"
Gu Moli rubbed his brows and climbed up despite the headache. The other soldiers in the troop carrier also came to their senses. One of them cursed in a low voice: "It's a single-soldier rocket launcher, bastard. Fortunately, it is wrapped in a layer of triple composite armor, otherwise it would not survive..."
"Individual bazooka!?"
Gu Moli couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Individual rocket launchers are not equipment that everyone can get. It is already amazing for an ordinary petty thief to get ordinary light weapons. However, the power behind being able to get a heavy firepower weapon like an individual rocket launcher is definitely far beyond the imagination of many people.
Most importantly... .
"Can't a platoon of your elite soldiers suppress the enemy?!"
"The Heavenly Brigade is across the way!"
There was a fierce gunfire outside the troop carrier, and Gu Moli couldn't help but raise his voice, and Officer Jack also answered with a roar. The elite soldiers next to him also showed an expression that said "Since it's the Heavenly Brigade, it's normal that we can't beat them."
Bastard!
Gu Moli almost cursed out loud. As the spokespersons of the state apparatus, these people were unable to defeat a group of terrorists. If it were in reality, the terrorists would have been pinned to the ground and rubbed harshly by the armed police. Games are just games, they are totally unreliable.
Unfortunately, despite the scolding, Gu Moli still cooperated and followed Officer Jack out of the troop carrier.
The other soldiers followed out one after another.
"You guys hold on here!"
"Doc, you and I will leave in another car first!"
"hurry up!"
While getting on another troop carrier as ordered by Officer Jack, Gu Moli glanced at the battlefield next to him. It turned out that it didn't matter if he didn't look at it.
His eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw it.
Because the ones who were engaging in a fierce firefight with Officer Jack's men were not the terrorists that Gu Moli had originally imagined, but rather a group of terrifying monsters that were three meters tall, covered in scale armor, invulnerable to swords and guns, with bloody mouths wide open, and not at all like human beings!
"Fuck!"
Resident Evil? Alien? Could it be a super ancient creature
"PhD!"
At the urging of Officer Jack, Gu Moli stopped observing the monsters and immediately got on the troop carrier, then rode away from the attack scene at full speed.
After confirming that it was safe, Gu Moli thought for a moment, then changed his attitude, showing an extremely angry expression and yelling: "Officer Jack! Please tell me, why would I, as an archaeologist, be attacked by a group of terrorists, no, a group of monsters?"
"Doctor, please believe me, this was just an accident..."
"Don't fool me!"
"Explain it to me right now!"
"Is there something wrong with that so-called ancient ruins!?"
"I need a reasonable explanation!"
Gu Moli paused, then took out his trump card: "Otherwise I will refuse the appointment to explore the ruins this time."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Moli could see Jack's expression change slightly, revealing a distressed look, and after a moment he sighed slightly: "Sorry."
"This is an order from above, Doctor."
"In fact, the information about the ancient ruins was not discovered by us first, but was accidentally obtained by our secret agents in the Heavenly Soldiers Brigade. The Heavenly Soldiers Brigade has been secretly excavating the ruins in the past few years until we discovered and expelled them."
"What is that relic?"
Gu Moli accurately grasped the key points of Jack's words, and Jack smiled bitterly: "... ..Unfortunately, we only know the name of the ruins."
"What's your name?"
At this point, Jack's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Gu Moli and said word by word:
"The golden treasure of Naberis."
