Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 259 Smile?
At this time, Wang Jing and Shen Meng also fell into a sluggish state.

Black day?Lord of the Fierce Sun?Spirit world?destiny?
This seems to be all information related to "the authority of the gods"!
What happened to Mr. Chen Ye?In just over a month... unexpectedly come into contact with this level of existence?

God!

Is this what you should know?
In other words, understanding such a deep secret will not trigger any rules, and be noticed by some terrifying existence, right?

As for Feng Lucius...Wang Jing and Shen Meng hadn't heard of it, but they didn't dare to ask, but judging from the conversation between Miss Puppet and Chen Ye, he should be a very powerful character, and he could use fake death to escape. Chased by [Fate]?

Isn't this city called "City of Destiny"?

It is said that some ranking leaders revealed that some of the items they obtained as rewards on the leaderboard are related to the new sequence. Could this sequence be "fate"?
From this point of view, the sequence related to "fate" is not simple!

It is very likely that it has a deep relationship with the bloody countdown, and even the entire large dungeon he is in.

Does it use the player's thinking to judge that this von Lucius may be a key and powerful NPC in the plot mission, or a big villain in the later plot?

Wait... Boss Chen Ye has only been here for a month, has he already discovered such a secret?Even if it is in the game instead of reality, the progress is not so fast, right?

It's unimaginable to have a connection with a character related to "God's authority" so quickly. How did Mr. Chen Ye do it?
Even being number one on the list did not shock Wang Jing so much.

Shen Meng also fell into a daze.

In order to survive, she stayed in the gang on Minke Street. With the characteristic of "thief", she stole the opponent's weapon and made great achievements in battle. From the leader of the gang, she obtained the subsequent promotion to "stealing cat demon" Promotion materials - [Dark Night Cat Demon Claw] only...

The information I come into contact with every day is that which gang member died again, and they were all beaten and killed...

Shen Meng never thought that such a day has not passed for a few days, and he is actually standing here, listening to the disputes with various "gods and powers" and various sequences, which seem to involve the end point, and the secret information related to it seems like The dreamlike feeling made her wonder if she had actually been controlled by Puppet Talk, and everything in front of her was a fake, an illusion created by the evil god?

But if you think about it carefully, if it is an illusion created by the evil god, it should create an illusion based on the evil god's cognition.

Generally, they are boundless hells, or abstract things that ordinary people cannot understand, in some kind of distorted form, permeating the surroundings like a sea of ​​blood.

The illusion of evil gods is generally not dominated by the player's self-awareness, causing hallucinations, so it is difficult to achieve the effect of mental breakdown.

However, the few people standing in front of him are all players!

It doesn't quite fit the general logic of evil gods' mind control...

"Huh! It seems that Boss Chen Ye is indeed number one on the list! If the information is correct...then this big boss won't be related to an enemy at the level of von Lucius, right? Then I As an employee of the 'Integrity Restaurant'...wouldn't it be very dangerous? Wait...Will my future work tasks change from a cooking woman to a magical girl who saves the world? The small body should not bear it The weight to bear...but that seems exciting too?"

Various fantasies of a girl began to float in Shen Meng's mind, fantasies about uncertain factors in the future, encounters with big men on the list, and mixed with sinister and restrained fragments, and the various thoughts sometimes turned into colorful dreams, Sometimes it turns into a dead silent gray...

"Boss Chen Ye, do you know any more information about von Lucius?"

Miss Puppet took a deep breath. If that Bishop Lucius was indeed related to the incident in which the players entered the polluted paradise and were killed collectively, then the attack he encountered might also be related to this existence?

I also joined the Lieyang Church...

As a result, instead of being able to get rid of the danger, it seems that they are getting closer to the source of the crisis?
In the dark, there seemed to be a sense of destiny, which made Miss Puppet feel the faint uneasiness lingering in her heart all the time.

She is now eager to learn about the relevant information, and it seems that doing so can at least make the unknown seem less unknown, so as to overcome the fear of not knowing where the future will lead.

Chen Ye shook his head and smiled, and said: "I just happened to know that the ancient ghost ship was related to von Lucius through some interesting opportunities in the underground world, and then used some knowledge related to the game settings to make It is only a judgment, but the information may not always be certain.”

"Moreover, von Lucius in this memory was still in the period of the cardinal, but he even sat on the seat of the Holy Church after that. Although the time was not long, there was still the period of the white cardinal in the middle, and the span was too great. "

"This bit of information can only be used as a source of information for von Lucius, but it is still difficult to fully determine the identity of the other party."

"However, judging from the current situation, this von Lucius has not dared to show his face for the time being. He follows the law of equivalent exchange. Even if he avoids the death of [Fate] by feigning death, he will definitely have to pay a huge price. cost."

"This is probably one of the reasons why von Lucius only dared to operate everything behind the scenes, but did not dare to return to the church and give birth in person."

Miss Puppet nodded and gradually regained her composure.

Anyway, since the incident of being attacked, the most dangerous period has passed.

Even if von Lucius was a former bishop and had even ascended to the position of the Holy Church, under such restrictions, he would not dare to make a comeback in the short term. Even if he had any plan, it would not be against a puppet lady who was just playing the role of cannon fodder. .

But as a player, she still has a long time to grow, and she has gotten to know the Holy Maiden Dawn. Under the protection of the Lieyang Church, she doesn't have to worry about living resources for the time being.

For this alone, the conditions are already better than most players.

"In that case, let me ignore the Puppet Talk for now, and discuss this matter with Miss Chen Xi."

Miss Puppet bowed slightly as a thank you to Chen Ye, then carried the ancient coffin on her shoulders again, and slowly disappeared at the end of the intersection along the pedestrian street shrouded in crimson moonlight.

Huh... some things that should be said... finally finished.

Chen Ye moved his shoulders, sensing the connection between himself and the new store in front of him, and wiped away the plaque above "Insomnia Treatment Center".

Not only this "Insomnia Treatment Center", but also several shops around it, are all included in Chen Ye's pocket at this moment.

Originally, these shops were [abandoned shops] without the protection of real estate, but under the influence of Puppet Talk, it seems that they have more characteristics of [parasitic real estate].

It just so happens... I also have [Parasitic Real Estate], so I can put away these shops and merge them.

The only pity is... the scale of these shops is very small. Even if they are put together, they cannot compare with the scale of the current "Integrity Restaurant", and the area can only be regarded as the most ordinary shop.

After the signboard of "Integrity Restaurant" is launched, this store, as a branch, can provide a steady increase in turnover and increase the competition potential of this month's asset list.

Looking at the time, it was still an hour or two before dawn.

Chen Ye planned to hurry up and explore things related to the pedestrian street during the dark time. After dawn, he would go to the sea of ​​dead bodies and use [Spiritual Sea Fishing] to collect treasure chests during the day.

He turned his head, faced Wang Jing and Shen Meng, and said:
"You two go back first, I still have something to deal with."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Jing and Shen Meng immediately nodded obediently.

Although they were very curious about how Chen Ye would carry out the strategy next, after hearing about von Lucius, they knew that this must be a dangerous and exciting activity.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

Don't investigate things that shouldn't be investigated.

What a beauty it is to be in a restaurant, make food, and enjoy it!

Soon, the two followed Chen Ye all the way, and parted ways when they passed the "Integrity Restaurant".

Chen Ye walked deeper into the pedestrian street.

With a thought, he took out a piece of puppet remains.

Half of the puppet melted into blood, but a part remained, which was collected by Chen Ye in the volume of mountains and rivers and carried with him.

There are still many occupations related to occultism in the strange era, and some materials can be used to perform divination and confirm the location.

Although Chen Ye did not have a profession related to awakening mysticism, such as a fortuneteller, but he was transferred to a profession in the [Fate] sequence, which was somewhat related, and he might be able to use similar methods to achieve the same similar effect.

"Sigh, it's a pity that after the puppet's characteristics were completely destroyed, it became a waste, and even the halo of luck disappeared."

"If not, you can use the connection of the phenomenon of luck to find out the source of the puppet talk."

Chen Ye sighed.

In fact, he also asked Miss Puppet where the factory is located, but the answer he got was that it was only in a relatively remote area. It seemed that the surrounding area was an industrial land, which was not so prosperous. She herself didn't know the exact location.

After all... Ms. Puppet was attacked in the early stage of infancy, and because of the fear of the unknown, she stayed in the real estate most of the time, so she could only make a rough judgment based on the surrounding scene.

But it is not clear which street and where it is.

Chen Ye planned to visit Miss Puppet's factory first.

Although he has thought about using Puppet Talk to acquire real estate, if the existence inside is too dangerous and grows to the point where it cannot be solved, then the entire pedestrian street will be in danger, and the two real estates that he managed to manage , may also face a crisis.

Therefore, it is still necessary to take a look and confirm the situation.

"It would be great if the characteristics of [Fate Line] can be used on land... Unfortunately, it is limited to the area of ​​​​water navigation... I wonder if it will be useful to unlock the profession of [Land You]?"

There were many thoughts in Chen Ye's mind, and he suddenly thought of the late period of the Weird Era, and all kinds of strange job names, and couldn't help but feel funny.

[Lu You] Well, it's the second turn [Bard], followed by a relatively special [Poetry Immortal] sequence to advance to the profession.

Not only did it incorporate [Poet], it was also related to [Sea God].

Of course, Chen Ye has now merged with the professions related to [Sea God], and he has been constantly changing jobs to the profession of [Ferryman], so he has no fate with [Lu You].

It is said that [Lu You] can really swim on land... Then it should be able to play the characteristics of [Fate Route] and directly reach the puppet factory, right?
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from behind!
Chen Ye suddenly sensed a sense of uneasiness, and suddenly looked back.

The street behind is deserted.

A narrow and deep alley in the middle, filled with a gloomy luster, creeps along the ground, going deep.

That cold wind was constantly blowing from the intersection of the alley. Although it was not as strong as it was at the beginning, it was conceivable that there was absolutely nothing good there!

"This sign of luck... seems to be somewhat similar to the puppet talk incident!"

Chen Ye moved his eyes, activated the feature of [Wanderer's Boots], and moved away quickly.

That gloomy luster, a little dim, seems to have not yet fully formed.

If it was Chen Ye at the beginning, he would be more careful about this, but now he has a certain ability to protect himself, and he is more and more proficient in judging the signs of luck. Even if there is danger in it, Chen Ye within the scope of the solution.

Anyway, in this weird era, there are dangers everywhere. If you dare not move forward when encountering dangers, you will never be able to make progress.

Risks and opportunities coexist, but we must know how to make the most correct choice at the moment, and accumulate advantages under the premise of ensuring safety.

Chen Ye quickened his pace, passed through the deep alley, and suddenly his eyes fell on a shop that was slowly being reduced to flesh and blood.

There is no one around, and most of them are deserted shops.

however……

A shop was silently polluted.

Looking in with the pupil of luck, a dark puppet outline is hidden in the deepest corner.

The puppet suddenly looked at Chen Ye, with an ugly and distorted smile on the corner of its mouth.

Chen Ye looked at the puppet quietly, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

next second.

A sacred flame roared from the [Fire Sun Prayer Scroll] like a fire snake, and immediately tore through the flesh and blood at the door of the house.

Chen Ye slowly walked into the house, and the surrounding flesh and blood tissue and ink faded away automatically, but he didn't dare to approach at all.

He squatted down, looking down at the petite puppet on the ground gradually curling up to a corner.

The puppet was expressionless and stopped smiling.

Chen Ye took out the [Seal Scroll], smiled and said:

"smile?"
