The Age of Machines

Chapter 801 Vision
Take advantage of this gap.

Beixi and the others began to discuss.Because it is very close to Quinn now, the spiders in the surrounding area are also monitoring their every move, and there are some things that Quinn cannot know yet.So everyone opened the team channel.

The civet cat in the team spoke first.

[raccoon cat]: Quinn just said that the moon appeared together, do you think this is true or false?
After they entered Goulds, they still got a lot of clues.At least I have a general understanding of the moon.It’s just that in Guerzili, the moon does not appear at the same time, but after a certain number of days, the second round reappears.

They were somewhat suspicious of the statement that the moon appeared together.It's not known whether Quinn is cheating them or not.

Team: [One day is one day]: This NPC is still a bit weird.You said that we were allowed to move freely on this island, but in the end you sent your own subordinates to monitor us.

Team: [Rashomon]: What if he just doesn't want us to touch other things?
As an NPC guarding this place, with high IQ and autonomy, Quinn can communicate with players or behave like normal humans with his own consciousness.

Team: [Ukiyo-e]: I just think he didn't tell us something.Maybe it's about Goulds.

Team: [Smash you with a lollipop]: Ukishi, we thought of getting together.I also feel like Quinn has something to hide.

Team: [One day is one day]: I said, why do you two think this way? What about the evidence? I don't think Quinn just pretended.

Team: Captain [Beixi]: Whether it's a faking or not, he does have other plans.Otherwise, they wouldn't have mentioned the three moons to us.

Even Beixi said the same thing, and couldn't help scratching his face and looking at the sky every day. Could it be that there are important details that he hasn't noticed yet?
Team: [raccoon cat]: the thing he mentioned before that he wants to leave here?
Quinn made a deal with them because he wanted to leave this place.But if you think about it, this transaction is actually not equal.Because for Quinn, the benefit may not only be leaving, Beixi and the others need to contribute.No matter how you think about it, the probability of Quinn taking action in this task is naturally very small.

And even if the next mission is successful, Beixi and the others may be able to leave here quietly, but will the next place they want to go? Is it safe?
No one can guarantee that.

How could they completely trust an NPC whose favorability level was not even 100?

Team: [raccoon cat]: Actually, I was thinking about one thing just now.About Quinn.

Several people were chatting in the team channel, but on the surface they just looked at the crowd together but remained silent, and each of them looked at different places, as if they were thinking about something.

When Quinn opened his eyes, this was what he saw.

He didn't think it was weird, he looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away at the sky above his head, the color of his eyes deepened.

Not for long.

The corner of the mouth curled up with joy.

Team: [One day is one day]: I'll go, he just laughed!!
Team: [Ukiyo-e]: Who?
Team: [Day is a day]: Quinn!
This group of people input text by spiritual transformation, and only need to click the interface in front of them when sending a message.One day at a time, he showed an extremely surprised face, staring at them in a daze, with his hands still in mid-air.

Several people glanced at it.

At this moment, Quinn was still leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, why was he smiling?
So they all looked back at him, all speechless.

It took only one day to see Quinn's current appearance. He silently turned his head to look at Beixi and the others, spread his hands, with an expression that I don't know what happened, and quickly entered the information he wanted to convey on the interface.

Team: [One day is one day]: I really laughed just now.Damn, he looked at God at a 45-degree angle, and then smiled evilly.

Lollipop rolled his eyes at him.

Team: [Smash you with a lollipop]: You're kidding me.

Team: [One day is one day]: Believe it or not, I saw it anyway, weird, weird.Let's just be careful.

With a personality that is one day at a time, it is still not up to the level that Mr. Lemon can still make jokes and amuse them in a serious atmosphere.One day is one day, that is, occasionally he is not serious, but he is serious about things, not joking.

Team: [Civet cat]: No matter what happens later, you must always pay attention to Quinn to prevent any accidents.Also, I've been thinking about whether this island is the [Abyss of Punishment].

Goulds used to be [Punishment Abyss], and later it was named after [Gulz] just because the residents here started to establish tribes and countries.

The [Abyss of Punishment] mentioned in the clues they got from the beginning did not explain in detail what form this [Abyss of Punishment] existed in.

Land, islands, or just a region?
And now they can roughly guess that Juling Island used to be called [Punishment Abyss].Later, it was renamed [Gultz], but after a destruction, it became a relic, and the name of [Gultz] disappeared from then on, and a floating island named [Juling Island] appeared.

Team: [Civet Cat]: Were the existences like Quinn once part of Goulds?

Beixi and the others didn't think about it.When the civet cat said this, they thought about it carefully, and it didn't make sense.It's just that most of the secrets behind the ruins haven't come out, so it's hard to judge.

However, the civet cat's idea can be taken into consideration first.

Team: Captain [Beixi]: A Mo and I entered the area where elves live before, and found a notebook.Three moons are mentioned above, and there is also time and such.

At this time, taking advantage of the fact that the moon has not yet appeared, they want to tell and confirm the clues they got before as soon as possible.

After coming out of the past dimension, they rushed to this place, and there was no time to talk about it on the way.As soon as they came out, spiders began to follow them nearby, and now they don't know how much time is left, so they can only briefly explain.

Lollipops they probably got the most clues.

After the capture, they discovered that many of the mission monsters had provided clues about Gultz, and the clue of Meredith's maid should be the most important.

Team: [Lollipop]: She said that the moon appears every other time, and when it appears, night will fall, and it will last for several hours.When Merinoli mentioned the night, her expression was not very good, she was very scared and afraid.

Beixi looked up at Wei Shengmo, and the man nodded his chin lightly, then the stars in the dark night on the note they found could explain it.

Is flame a symbol of disaster in Guerz?
Team: [Ukiyo-e]: Those monsters also dropped parchment scrolls.Now it has been pieced together into a complete piece, which looks like a map, with patterns and Goulds behind it, I can't understand it.

In this ruins, no matter what clues they got, it was actually in vain in a sense.There are few Karans languages ​​in the ruins, and the Karans language has been handed down a long time ago. There are human residents here, but it may be because there are too few humans and they were assimilated later, so it is difficult to see the Karans language.

Team: [One day is one day]: That's all the clues we've got so far.President, do you know anything?
Team: Captain [Beixi]: Yes.magic circle...

The civet cat looked at her words and couldn't help but glance at her.What a clue.

Bei Xi didn't continue to say anything but frowned.

Seeing her like this, the rest of the people were quite puzzled. What's the matter? She suddenly showed this expression.

The people who were about to ask questions, before they could open their mouths, suddenly a colorful light flashed across the sky, it was extremely dazzling, and the surrounding scenery was immediately dyed with a brilliant light, and then countless light stones fell like meteors, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. elephant.

This is a sign.

Even if Quinn didn't make any reminder at this time, Beixi and the others knew that the night was coming and the moon would appear.

After all these dazzling colorful lights disappeared from the ground, dark clouds came from nowhere in the sky, they quickly gathered and became black and dense. After a while, the sky of the whole island began to become gray, just like the one they stayed in before. The space of the sheet seal is average.It's not completely dark yet.

Just look at the color of the dark clouds in the sky gradually deepening, from dark to dark, the sky was pitch black, Beixi and the others stood below, because of the vision, they couldn't even see the surrounding things clearly for a while.

Lollipop and the others took out their magic lamps and turned them on.

Quinn watched their actions but did not speak. It seemed that turning on the magic lamp at this moment would not have any effect.The surrounding scenery was reflected under the magic light, and everyone saw that it was still the same as before, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, taking out the magic lamp, in addition to confirming the safety of your side, you still need to clearly know what Quinn is doing now.They were in the darkness just now, and for a moment, they thought that Quinn would disappear with him.

"Why is there no moon?"

The vision in the sky was silent for a long time.There was no more sight for a long time, and Lollipop couldn't help but whispered.

After a while, still no response.

Beixi and the others faintly sensed the strangeness in their hearts, and they all looked at Quinn.However, there was no one under the big tree where Quinn was supposed to be standing!
"Where are people?!" Lollipop couldn't help shouting.

A few people hurriedly held up the magic lamp to shine around, no one, no one.There was no one, and the various spiders that were active in the vicinity last second also disappeared without a trace.

"What's the matter? Why is there no one?!" One day, he walked directly to the edge of the grass with the lamp, pushed the grass aside and poked the magic lamp inside, and there were no living things.

Looking back at Beixi and the others, "What happened?"

They were all focused on the sky and the moon just now, but only for a moment.It was only a few seconds, but as soon as he regained his attention, everyone, all the wild monster spiders, disappeared without a trace.

Who can explain what happened?
"Has Quinn tricked us?" Ukiyo-e couldn't help frowning, opened her task bar and saw that Quinn's task turned yellow.What does yellow represent in the game?

Red is failure, blue is work in progress, and yellow, in fact, rarely happens.Because NPCs with high IQs in Shengshili are actually not very popular.Only these high-intelligence NPCs will temporarily change their minds, making it impossible for the player's mission to continue.In fact, there are many cases of changing one's mind. Deceptive missions will usually turn yellow later. If the player can find the NPC, the mission may continue.

"What's the situation now?" Rashomon couldn't figure out why Quinn had suddenly disappeared.

The sky is dark now, and the so-called moon has not appeared for a long time.Quinn disappeared, and even the surrounding spiders disappeared in an instant.The place fell into a strange silence, and the seven of them were left standing blankly in this wide place.

"Look, that tree..." the civet cat suddenly said, and the magic lamp shone on Quinn's "nest".The civet cat's light hit the giant tree that Quinn used to rest. The leaves of that tree were extremely dense, and the leaves were also huge.When they first saw it, they were amazed at the huge size of the tree.

At this moment, the leaves are shaking gently, making a "rustling" sound.When the magic light hit, the layers of shadows that fell on the ground disappeared in an instant. When a gust of wind blew by, everyone couldn't help being stunned. They only saw the leaves, which scattered with the wind in the blink of an eye and turned into wisps of black mist in the air. , hidden under the night sky without any starlight.

Finally dispersed.

Leaving the solitary tree trunk to survive in the wind.The originally vibrant area has now turned into clouds and smoke in an instant, and the scene of the bleak autumn wind is so unreal.

Holding the magic lamp, the civet cat who stared blankly reacted and made a movement. She couldn't help but rubbed her eyes.Civet cats are also well-informed in this game, and sometimes encounter some strange things, and they can calmly accept them.But at this moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

"Beibei?" she called suspiciously.

Looking at Beixi beside him, and the others, he became thoughtful.

Beixi met her eyes and instantly knew what this person was thinking.Shaking his head helplessly, "These are all true, don't show this expression. It feels so stupid."

Civet cat: ...

"What?" Day after day they were at a loss.

Beixi smiled: "The civet cat is dreaming."

"Haha~" Several people laughed.

They all understand the meaning of Beixi dialect.

The civet cat scolded: "You know how to make fun of me, it happened so suddenly, of course I would wonder if you have also become an illusion."

"Oh, this dream is very interesting." Every day, she was amused by her.

The civet cat blushed, "Shut up."

"Okay, stop teasing Sister Tanuki." Lollipop gave a few helpless eyes, "In this situation, can we first care about the next step? We have been out for half a day, and the president's tasks are endless. It is estimated that we will only be able to stay in these ruins in the future.”

Don't forget, outside the ruins is Karans who is being eroded by darkness.
