Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 112 Devil Detective
Paradise, Blue Mountain Cafe.

now……

The glass windows around the store were completely covered by a bloody curtain, and the entire cafe began to contract and expand in a strange, rhythmic frequency, and the vibrating and undulating frequency was like a beating heart.

Gollum!Gollum!
It seems that something is absorbing a huge amount of blood.

The figure of Mizi stood at the door, yawning boredly, like an employee guarding the door, waiting to be released from get off work.

at last……

The coffee shop stopped beating, and the blood-colored curtain seemed to be given life. Like a tide, it slowly receded along the shop windows around the shop, shrinking towards the figure in the center.

To be precise, the figure was wrapped in a film, and from the outline, it looked like a huge heart standing upright, about the size of an adult.

Click!

The film cracked a gap, gradually two, three...

When the "heart" was completely torn apart, the man who walked out had profound features, a tall nose bridge, a bowler hat on his head, a cane in his right hand, a tuxedo to set off his slender figure, and polished leather boots on the ground. .

His face was of typical British blood, and he looked very handsome. However, those deep, dark pupils seemed to be able to see through everything. Looking at the other person's face, he would feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

The shadow behind him, as if under the oblique angle of the spotlight, became extraordinarily huge, as if it was wriggling silently and alive.

The man in the tuxedo moved his hands and feet, as if he was adapting to his new body, and his body made a "click" bone sound, which was extremely crisp.

At this moment, Miko's figure came over with an interesting smile:
"It turns out that this is the player you mentioned. It's a bit interesting. I see the torrent of the city of destiny is rushing towards them."

"Including... a door hidden here is now in your hands."

"You gave one of the keys to the competitor. It is said that it is the number one among the players. It should be the most powerful one, right? However, with the power you have obtained now, you should have a great hope of competing for the number one spot. , and even have a chance to kill him, are you really not interested?"

The man in the tuxedo smiled, and said, "Anyone will be tempted by the reward for being number one on the list. Naturally, it is impossible not to be completely uninterested."

"He is about to leave the paradise now, don't you take this opportunity to catch up? Since the number one on the list has snatched the position that originally belonged to you, as long as you kill him, the number one on the list will be yours again."

Mizi's words suddenly carried a bewitching power, and the voice echoed around the area, as if there was a kind of seductive feeling that made people fall into the thrill of disputes.

"Put away your power, it was useless to me before, and it can't affect me now."

The man in the tuxedo glanced at Mizi faintly, shook his head and smiled:
"If you can get number one by simply killing a player, then you can try."

"Unfortunately, this is of no use."

"Based on the information I collected, even if that guy dies, I won't be number one on the list."

"Oh?" Miko was surprised and curious, "Why do you say that?"

"The destiny is not mine."

The man in the tuxedo smiled, and was not stingy about sharing his judgment, saying:
"I have noticed that everyone in this city seems to be drawn together by fate, some are doing nothing, and some have destiny."

"Judging from the collected information... If that guy dies, there will be another monster that will replace all players with a crushing posture and become number one on the list."

"But if you keep that guy, there may be variables and opportunities for competition... Hehe, I am very interested in how the future ranking battle will end!"

"As for my destiny, it has nothing to do with this list."

When Mizi heard the word "destiny", her eyes lit up slightly, and her lazy expression disappeared, as if mentioning this topic could arouse her great interest.

"Then what is your destiny?" she asked.

"the truth!"

The eyes of the man in the tuxedo suddenly became more focused than ever before. The dark and deep pupils seemed to reflect the flames of the whole world. They were extremely bright, as if they wanted to see through the deepest secret hidden in the endless darkness.

He seems to have entered a state of ecstasy, pacing back and forth with his head down, rubbing his chin and saying:
"My intuition feels harmonious but discordant details... City of Destiny... This city, the fate of each player seems to be pulled by something."

"From the professional identities drawn at the beginning, to their exclusive talents, to the torrent of fate connected to each player..."

"Individuals should be scattered. But I see that every individual in this city is both independent and connected. It is an individual and a whole."

"This in the end is why……"

His footsteps suddenly stopped, he took a deep breath, his eyes were full of excitement:
"This question is really interesting... It involves the past, present, and future... It involves you, me, every aborigine here, every player, every destiny... There is no mystery, bigger than this question, Never before!"

"If one day, I can solve this mystery..."

"Then I think, this is my destiny!"

The lazy expression returned to Mizi's face, she yawned and said sleepily:
"Destiny, it seems really interesting. But unfortunately, I'm just a dancing girl. I don't have any destiny, I only have the destiny to clock in and go to work. Now it's the off-duty time, and my destiny is to go to get off work. Goodbye, my new boss."

…………

After one night, the bloody strange eyes in the paradise disappeared strangely.

Pedestrian streets close to the streets in the outer area are restored to their original colours.

But if you look deeper, near the entrance of Xijiang Park and the old city, there is a faint blood mist lingering in it.

In the blood mist, one can still see blurred figures moving through it, which is extremely strange.

The shops on both sides of the surrounding area are covered with a layer of blood-colored curtains, and the scene inside the shop cannot be seen clearly.

However, at the entrance of some stores, the door is not completely closed, but half closed, as if you can go in.

Chen Ye arrived at the entrance of the paradise smoothly all the way. The halo of luck on this road was like the route along the lower reaches of the Xijiang River at the beginning. It was gray and white, and there was no risk for the time being.

But looking deeper into the paradise, the ring of disaster entwined there is even weirder than the lower reaches of the Xijiang River. In addition to the deep black color, there are also messy lines, which are strangely entwined and seem to outline A world of absurdity, treachery and disorder.

Compared with yesterday's disaster scene, there are still small sheds built at the entrance of the paradise.

After many players survived, they realized that this paradise was a large dungeon, and it was very likely that there were many "sub-dungeon" strategies in it.

There are dangers, but there are also opportunities.

So...

Some more courageous players set up camps here, teamed up with other people, and tried to explore the paradise and obtain information.

Yesterday I ran out desperately, but today some players set up a camp here!

However, after so many days of development, some players have acquired special abilities, adapted to life in the weird era, and know the rules of getting along with weird.On the forum, there are also big bosses releasing various strategies, and the overall level of players' understanding of this world is also constantly improving.Fear comes from the unknown, and after obtaining enough information, their strategies will be more courageous than at the beginning.

When Chen Ye came out of the paradise, several players looked at him in amazement.

It seemed unexpected that some players entered the paradise so quickly, and even ran out of it early in the morning.

Some players wanted to stop Chen Ye for questioning...

It's a pity that Chen Ye immediately sped up his pace. Under the speed boost of [Wanderer's Boots], he just sped up his pace slightly, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the group of players couldn't keep up, they had to give up.

Soon...

Chen Ye's figure returned to the alley in Xining.

It remains the same as it was at the beginning, but it seems to be more deserted than it was at the beginning.

He passed Miss Squirrelfish's store, and found that the store was closed, and Miss Squirrelfish disappeared together.Walking all the way, I didn't see the figures of the three gluttonous ghosts, and I didn't meet the old lady selling chestnuts again...

Everything seems to have changed.

Chen Ye slowed down, maintained his wandering pace, and returned to his habitat.

At this moment, a melodious erhu sound came from not far away.

Hearing the familiar erhu, Chen Ye finally relaxed.

For a moment, he thought that the old erhu man might have left too.

Although it was only a day later, this long-lost erhu brought a little warmth.

Chen Ye turned around the alley and was about to say hello to the old Erhu man when he suddenly paused and found two more figures in suits beside him.

Among them, a young man with a Japanese hairstyle and a star-like face sat on a bench, enjoying the music intoxicated.

The person next to him was like a butler, holding a high-end black umbrella, standing tall and dignified, shielding the young man from the drizzle, like filaments of rain.

"Hey, you're finally back, kid, hurry up and play an ensemble, this is my new big client!"

Before Chen Ye could open his mouth, the old man on the erhu had an uncontrollable smile on his face, his eyes were narrowed, as if he had found a treasure.

"What's the situation?" Chen Ye was stunned.

At this juncture, the surrounding aborigines almost ran away, but the old man with the erhu brought a new client over?

The young man took out a hundred copper coins from his pocket, put them into the old man's bowl as if he didn't want any money, and said with a smile:

"In this ghost world, it is really rare to hear such moving music. Hurry up and pay for the next one!"

After saying this, his eyes turned to Chen Ye, with a warm smile on his face:
"Hey, it turns out that you are the new apprentice that the old erhu people talked about, why don't you come and play an ensemble too."

"do not worry……"

"If I'm not wrong, you, like me, should be players?"
