Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 649: A special guest at the Shorty Cafe!

"call!"

Chen Ye took a long breath.

Now I finally understand the situation at the Blood Gate.

Since the Blood Gate, like the Spirit World, is also outside the border, it must be part of the war between gods.

And Chen Ye also linked together a series of events that had happened before.

"It seems that this organization is behind all these indigenous peoples, and there are also copies..."

"The purpose is to get the blood gate out."

"Of course, this is at most just one part of the plan."

"After all, in the first month, the Dragon God copy was created, which disrupted the entire Xijiang River. That meant they had already started planning."

"The Blood Gate is part of this..."

“It cannot be said to be the ultimate goal of this organization.”

At this moment, it is still a question what Chen Ye’s real plan for this organization is.

Keep pulling in all the parts related to the God War...

Isn't this a rhythm that will lead to our collective destruction?
From the player's perspective, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to be gained...

Instead, you will destroy yourself.

Then.

Chen Ye had to start thinking about what this organization ultimately wanted.

"never mind."

"If it was a player controlled by the indigenous people who did this series of things, it would be even more troublesome."

"After all, there will be influence from the indigenous people..."

"Moreover, in the strange world, there is also the influence of [losing control], such as swallowing some unknown taboo. Although the player's thinking is still retained, it will become more insidious and terrifying."

"They will have the twisted survival logic of the indigenous people..."

"So, we can't measure it completely in the conventional way..."

Chen Ye closed the intelligence file.

but.

Just finding out what's going on at the Blood Gate would be of great value.

At least I know what the Blood Gate is.

What's left to do is to catch the red wolf spider.

Let's see what other plans this organization has...

Subsequently.

Chen Ye temporarily withdrew from the tower of the library.

He glanced towards the cafe, where the guests were still drinking coffee.

In this cafe located on the corner of the Pentagon, you can see the bustling streets outside through the glass.

However, the northeast side is closed by a wall.

There was only a small, old, dilapidated door.

Compared with this gorgeously decorated cafe, it seems a bit out of place.

Too old-fashioned, even a little decadent.

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

He first left the coffee shop, walked out of the door, and then went around to the back along the street surrounded by various shops.

I saw that it was a deep alley leading to a dark area.

From the outside, you can't see what's inside at all.

All I could feel was a deep darkness inside.

"That place is not that simple!"

Chen Ye frowned slightly and marked this place.

There may be some particularly valuable things here that can be explored in the future.

but.

Chen Ye doesn’t plan to go there so soon now.

"It should be almost done."

Chen Ye noticed that the cafe was becoming darker and darker.

There is a bloody silhouette rushing towards this place.

Judging by the Eye of Luck...

This short-legged coffee shop will probably welcome some special guests in the near future.

It has something to do with this deep darkness.

but.

Before that, Chen Ye still had some things to do so that he wouldn't just stay in this cafe and get bored.

Drink coffee?
Well... Chen Ye saw with his own eyes that the bartender behind the coffee and wine cabinet had a dark, sticky tail emerging from under her wide skirt.

The tail suddenly split open a hideous bloody cut, and pulled a small black sticky ball into it.

That's right!

Just pull it in!

Looking at the coffee shop full of customers, all enjoying this secret coffee...

Chen Ye thought about it, felt a chill in his body, and shook his head:

“Even a dog wouldn’t drink this kind of coffee!”

Unable to drink coffee to kill time, Chen Ye followed the shops next to him, turned the corner along the busy shops, went back to the short-legged coffee shop, and walked straight in from the door.

After possessing the bloody key, Chen Ye realized that the Shorty Coffee Shop would regard him as a high-ranking customer.

Therefore, you can enter smoothly without the help of other mechanisms.

At this time, the doll is still singing songs to help the guests in the cafe enter an unconscious state better.

In this unconscious state, it is just like being distracted when doing things. You will just complete your daily habits and tasks mechanically, but you will not have much autonomous consciousness to interfere.

But because it is a coffee shop, making coffee on a daily basis has already become a muscle habit.

Drinking coffee is even simpler.

Even newborn kittens and puppies can drink. Although it may not be stable to hold the cup with your hands, there is no problem if you bury your face in it.

Because this is a strange world, some beings even ate the cups.

Drinking coffee feels like eating fried chicken, it makes a crunchy sound when you bite it.

Of course, there are no technical problems.

It is precisely because of this...

Even everyone in the cafe is maintaining the original order and following the rules and activities here.

When the cafe operates normally, it will naturally not violate any copy mechanism.

“What a harmony!”

Chen Ye looked at the scene in the coffee shop. If he hadn't known that there was a special area here, he would have thought that this coffee shop was just an ordinary coffee shop!

He continued walking along the surrounding corridor stairs towards the third floor.

Compared to the private room next to it on the second floor...

The third floor is an entertainment venue and there are no various seats.

But there are billiards, board games and so on here.

On the black and gold display cabinet next to it, there are many exquisite boxes containing playing cards such as Werewolf, Three Kingdoms, and Tarot cards.

There are also some books with old covers placed in various corners, looking retro and exquisite. Under the warm yellow light...

Chen Ye noticed that there were dark traces flowing out from the screen behind the billiard table.

This place was covered with a piece of white cloth.

There are traces of [Hide] entwined around it.

but.

Just covering it with a piece of white cloth would be too simple...

When Chen Ye walked over, he simply lifted up the white cloth.

I saw a black and gold Buddha head standing in front of me, with its huge devilish mouth opened.

You can see that inside the huge mouth is a sealed room with several buttons and flashing orange lights.

"elevator?"

Chen Ye saw at a glance that this green-faced demon Buddha head was actually an elevator.

With his excellent vision, he was able to see the elevator inside, which had signs saying "third floor", "first floor" and "negative thirteenth floor"!
The third floor naturally corresponds to the third floor where Chen Ye is.

The first floor, probably below the coffee shop. Chen Ye also saw that in a corner of the counter next to him, there was an area covered with white cloth, which was connected to the dark red wine cabinet.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems that it should be connected to the Green-Faced Demon Buddha Head Elevator on the third floor.

And this "negative thirteenth floor"...

"Thirteen is the devil's number."

"It leads to the negative thirteenth floor. Judging from the location, it should be connected to the previous underground world."

"This is somewhat similar to the Blue Mountain Cafe I visited before."

"There is also a bloody door and a door leading to the underworld, which are connected to each other."

Chen Ye frowned and found a common point.

That is……

If these copies have bloody gates, they also have passages leading to the underground world.

We have found some common ground.

So... the appearance of the Blood Gate... could it be closely related to the underworld?
Chen Ye thought of the places that could be connected together.

However, compared to "Aran Clothing Store", the dark atmosphere in the short-legged coffee shop is even more intense.

Judging from this location, the underground world it leads to is probably a dark place.

This is not a place to be messed with!
"Now we finally know what this short-legged coffee shop is all about."

Chen Ye thought secretly.

It has to be said that Chen Ye was still a little disappointed with what he saw on the third floor.

Not a lot indeed.

There is only one elevator, and I have seen it when I was at "Aran Clothing Store".

It feels like there is no special meaning.

Nothing more.

Judging from the location of the Short-legged Café, the underground world it leads to should be a relatively important dark place, but Chen Ye has no intention of exploring what it is at this point.

After all, who knows if this elevator will lead to some important enemy stronghold? If you go in casually and get ambushed, won’t you be sent away directly?

Furthermore...

It’s the last minute of this month to rush to the top of the list, and Chen Ye still has some very important things to do.

That is to compete with Hua Shao for the top spot on the list!

At present, Hua Shao’s points have reached 50 million again, and he has also started to make an effort.

Chen Ye still felt some urgency about this.

On the last day of the month, I need to use more solid means to consolidate my position on the list.

Of course, judging from Hua Shao’s current speed, although it cannot pose any danger to Chen Ye, he still has to be cautious in everything.

If I am caught up by the other party, then all the efforts I have made in competing for the rankings this month will be in vain, right?
Subsequently.

When Chen Ye was about to leave the third floor, he suddenly saw with his Eye of Luck that behind a mirror, there was a rich dark yellow aura flowing.

"There is such a strong Xuanhuang aura!"

Chen Ye was a little surprised at the time. Such a rich dark yellow color was quite fresh.

I haven't seen this dark yellow before...

With the naked eye, one can see that this dark yellow energy is approaching Chen Ye's location at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Ye stroked his chin and thought:

"Oh, I almost forgot, this place is a transit station."

"Many black assets from West Street were probably transferred to this place by this means."

"This short-legged coffee shop is still worth a visit..."

Chen Ye began to think about whether he should go to this short-legged coffee shop...

What we know is that there are a lot of good things hidden here, and it also holds the hub of black assets.

But if you follow the strategy...

Then.

It is bound to attract the attention of hostile forces!

By then, some conflicts are bound to arise!

Therefore, how to get this short-legged coffee shop here is actually something that needs to be thought about.

"A direct attack? That's too rough."

"There is actually another way..."

"That is to find the real owner of the Short-legged Café and eliminate him. In this way, the assets can be transferred."

"Of course, it's only a matter of time before we're discovered, but as long as we keep the Short Legs Cafe going in a seemingly normal situation, we should be able to get a lot of intelligence."

At this moment, Chen Ye noticed a figure surrounded by a blood-red halo, moving rapidly towards the Short-legged Coffee Shop.

"Is it finally here?"

Chen Ye noticed the blood-colored halo of the human figure, frowned slightly, and walked towards the first floor.

A squeak!
When Chen Ye walked to the door, the shabby wooden door against the wall was suddenly pushed open.

From the dark shadows, a man in a blood-stained robe walked out.

He was wearing a large hood with his face hidden underneath, and he exuded a cold aura.

at the same time……

When the other party was walking, eight spider legs could be seen from under the blood-red skirt, wriggling like an octopus.

It looks a bit disgusting...

Chen Ye frowned slightly and said:
"This guy is actually from the Monster sequence."

"It's also related to [pollution] and [demons]..."

"My professional level has reached the sixth level, which means I am a Red Priest."

"This type of priest is usually extremely good at cursing. Moreover, combined with the characteristics of the [Demon], not only does he have extraordinary means for long-range cursing, but he is also very good at close combat."

Such an enemy is simply a nightmare for ordinary players!
It would be fine if you were just good at long-range magic...

Why is it so powerful in close combat?
Is this the dream of all mages, to be a warrior?
A mage who can't fight in close combat is not a good mage!
But for Chen Ye, he knew that his spirituality was enough to deal with this [Red Priest].

Red Wolf Spider entered the Short Legs Cafe and frowned instinctively...

It has already noticed that there is something unusual here.

Although it looked normal on the surface, his intuition told him that there was something fishy going on here!

Just then, a suona sound rang out.
