Whether it is the cane "Wu De", or the props "Feather Whistle" and "Great Wisdom Badge" given by Mrs. Mary before, the attached abilities are all in a state of being unusable.

As for the "Snack Box" and "Order Light Bulb", they were placed in the portable space, and they couldn't even be taken out when the extraordinary ability could not be used.

"Unprecedented crisis, master," Lynette's serious voice sounded in her mind, "At such a critical moment, I can't be with you side by side. As a maid, I am really ashamed..."

"It's so noisy." Ye Bai said.

His extraordinary abilities "space luggage" and "shadow interlayer" are also unusable, and the "portable space" extended from the space luggage can't even open a hole, but it may be because of the independence of space that he has been staying with him all the time Linette in the space did not lose her ability, at least she could still yell in Ye Bai's mind.

But Ye Bai couldn't open the portable space, she couldn't get out for the time being, so she could only be anxious.

"I really want to help Master. After all, if something happens to you, I will die with you. Master, you don't have to doubt my loyalty." Lynette said bitterly, "But the situation here is too bad , How can I still suppress the extraordinary ability? My little bat suddenly lost contact in the forest, it must be because it is too close to here."

Ignoring the noise in his mind, Ye Bai continued to summarize the current situation.

Extraordinary abilities and props cannot be used, and the player panel can still be opened, but it can only be used to check the physical state, and has no other function.

The quest "Seeds of the World" is hung on the panel, and the content introduction, notes, quest objectives and other information are still completely invisible, and no useful information has been updated.

Regardless of whether this is due to the handwriting of the "Lord of Justice and Legal Principles" or the mission itself is special, it is hard to expect it to have any effect.

Turning off the player panel, Ye Bai stood in the room and gently drew small circles on the ground with his cane.

"And this world..."

The outermost "ocean".There are extremely terrifying and suspected evil gods inside, and they will actively capture the player's tentacles. Even high-level players, as long as they look directly, the order bar will plummet and fall into a state of chaotic thinking.

The second is the "beach".The space design on the beach can prevent players from getting close to the sea, and the sand grains on the beach can fight against and capture the tentacles in the sea. At the same time, there seems to be a huge blood-red flesh under the beach.

Then there is "Forest of the End".In the center of this ancient and huge primeval forest, there is a path leading directly to the interior. There is no danger on the path, but if you stay on the path for a while, mud giants will appear in the forest to unilaterally drive players away.

At the same time, the closer you get to the interior of the forest of the end, the more your supernatural abilities will be suppressed and restrained. When you leave the forest and enter the open space where Nachu City is located, all supernatural related things will be completely suppressed.

Finally, there is "Nachu Castle" surrounded by the forest of the end.

In Ye Bai's opinion, the appearance of this city is too abrupt, it is not unreasonable to say that it fell from the sky in the middle of the forest of the end; its existence is even more incompatible with this primitive jungle, and it is forced to squeeze on a map , a sense of absurd confusion.

The establishment of a modern city requires a lot of elements, such as various large factories related to energy, materials, food, and daily necessities, satellite cities, stable water sources, etc., but nothing is satisfied here-there is only one city.

In Ye Bai's eyes, this is like seeing a set of top-end computer mainframe running out of thin air in the deep mountains and old forests.

As for the people living in Nachu City, Ye Bai is not too worried.

Because Miss Lianying, as a fourth-order hunter, said with certainty that if the concentration of order on the beach is "chaotic", then the concentration of order in the direction of the sea is "extreme chaos". Moving forward, the concentration of order has been continuously increasing, and it is close to normal in Nachu City.

That is to say, no matter how weird the people in Nachu City are, at least they all stand in the camp of order. If a monster appears here, it will inevitably show its shape and be suppressed by order, which is enough.

Then the next thing to do is to explore the secrets in this city of Nachu. As a rare place of order in this world, there must be many secrets hidden.

Among other things, at least one has to figure out what the "seed of the world" is, and it is always right to work towards the direction of completing the task.

Ye Bai pondered for a while, when footsteps came from far and near outside the door.

After a few seconds, the door curtain was lifted from the outside.

Mile 6, Land 109, Dark Night You

The door curtain was lifted, and Xiao Hongchen walked in with an ashen face, followed by Lian Ying and Mrs. Mary.

Ye Bai looked up at them, raised his eyebrows involuntarily: "You guys are..."

Xiao Hongchen's face turned pale, his body swayed, and his steps staggered. Compared with him, Lian Ying and Mrs. Mary were in better condition, but all three of them were covered in dust and looked ashamed.

"The work is so hard?" Ye Bai was a little surprised.

"I can't use my supernatural ability. I just rely on my physical fitness, so I don't get used to it."

Mrs. Mary walked in with her head down, and patted the dust off her body, "The content of the job is quite simple. A large group of people gather together, and someone stands in front of the line and announces that a certain building is a heresy, and then other people go up together with tools. Demolishing the building and throwing debris everywhere...the scene is quite chaotic, no need to use your brain."

"But it takes a lot of physical strength."

Xiao Hongchen staggered into the room, as if he had finally relaxed his tense body, he lay on the ground softly, and said weakly: "After meeting the evil god, being hunted down by the clay giant, and sealing the extraordinary ability, after a series of mental blows Being sent to work as a coolie... What are you doing, is this the highest level part-time job simulator?"

Ye Bai thought for a while and said, "Hearing what you said, it really seems to be deliberately deceiving people to come to work illegally..."

"If you can complete the task just by working part-time, then I have no objection."

Lianying walked around him, her beautiful red battle dress became dirty, her face was full of unconcealable worry, "But we just observed those people carefully, they all look like ordinary people, active , full of emotions, nothing special.”

In other words, she failed to get any useful information.

"Well, it would be great if a knight came in. With their physical strength, it doesn't matter at all even if they seal their extraordinary abilities. It is not a problem to move [-] tons of bricks a day. Putting them here is the real version of Hercules. ..."

Xiao Hongchen turned over on the ground and looked up at the top of the thatched hut: "I have collected some information, I don't know if it is useful, but I will write it down first."

"Worthy of being the captain, really reliable."

Ye Bai praised, walked over and put down the door curtain, and stood by the door, watching Xiao Hongchen while watching the movement outside the door.

"First of all, there should be only such a human cluster in this city that believes in the root of the beginning, and there are no other forces."

Xiao Hongchen calmed down, and said: "Through simple communication, I found that in people's consciousness, this city belongs to them as a matter of course, and belongs to the great 'root of origin'.

"Their only enemy is the 'Doom', and the believers of the Doom have all been driven into the Forest of the End - this is a record that makes them very proud.

"The number of human beings in the city is less than we expected. I just estimated that our settlement has a total population of only about [-]. For a human civilization that can gather order, this is too small. .”

After a pause, Xiao Hongchen continued, "But the strangest thing is that people in this place... don't seem to need to eat."

"No need to eat?" Ye Bai was taken aback for a moment.

"Not only do they not need to eat, but I suspect that they do not need to drink water." Xiao Hongchen said, "From the basic livelihood aspects of food production, raw material processing, distribution system, and excretion management, we can simply infer the development process of a civilization, so we just thought Let's inquire about related news..."

"But I didn't expect the first step to get stuck."

Mrs. Mary put her arms around her arms, stood aside and shrugged: "There is no cafeteria here, and there is no saying that food is distributed. The gentleman who claimed to be Haitong repeatedly told us how to work, when to go to sleep, and even told us a certain direction in the city. There is water to 'cleanse the body', but nothing about eating."

"This is indeed a rather strange situation..." Ye Bai muttered, "Maybe they just look like normal people, but they are actually clay figurines, puppets or something like that? Naturally, they don't need to take energy in order to survive. "

Lianying immediately shook her head: "No, they are all normal human beings, I can be sure of that."

Even if the extraordinary ability is sealed, there are still many means available to the extraordinary, so as not to completely return to the state of being an ordinary person.

As a hunter, Lian Ying can keenly judge that those are pure human beings by observing the other party's body, bones, muscles, including the wear and tear of the skin.

But can pure human beings swing a sledgehammer to demolish buildings every day without dripping water and without salary?The machine works 24 hours a day and needs to be charged and lubricated. What kind of sweatshop is this?

"I also have some discoveries here." Mrs. Mary said, "The roads in the city are similar to cement, which is a popular construction material, and there are anti-rust pipes buried in the ground below the roads, which may be used to transport some Residential consumables—like our natural gas and tap water.”

Even though her extraordinary abilities are temporarily unavailable, she can tell something based on experience alone. From some simple relics of people's livelihood, it can be judged that this city has experienced a very prosperous era.

Judging from the scale of construction, Nachu City can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of residents.

"The time was too short to find anything more. We had only been there for more than ten minutes before the demolition brigade disbanded, and everyone was asked to go home and prepare for the dark night."

Mrs. Mary looked outside through the gap in the curtain, "But the sky has not changed, and I don't know when the so-called night will come."

Lian Ying looked at Ye Bai, and asked hopelessly, "Did you discover anything just now?"

"Just a little idea." Ye Bai said, "I have a question, do you have any impression of the 'seed of the world'?"

"Absolutely not."

Xiao Hongchen said weakly, "If I have to think of it, when it comes to seeds, I will think of green bean-shaped objects... The green gemstone you got from the silt flower before is a bit interesting, otherwise Take it out and have a look?"

"Unfortunately, I can't take it out." Ye Bai said.

When she was still in Linhai City, Lynette's little bat got an emerald green gemstone from the mud flower that the six-core giant turned into. Compared with the spar embedded in the mud giant's forehead, it only had a different color, but the shape was completely different. Consistent, obviously the same series of things.

I didn't think it would have any role in this special mandatory mission before, but after the earth giant also appeared in this world, the emerald suddenly became suspicious.

Could it be an item related to the end camp?Or, as Xiao Hongchen guessed, it might be a "seed"?

It's a pity that Ye Bai put it in his portable space, so he can't take it out for the time being.

"Master, this thing seems to have no vitality. I don't think it's the seed of some plant."

Linette's voice sounded in Ye Bai's mind, the girl curled up in the portable space, the narrow and dark space didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all, she pinched the slightly shiny green gemstone and stared at it for a while.

"If I have to say it, there is a little bit of spiritual fluctuations, and it is barely enough to say that it is spiritual materials..."

Ye Bai listened to Lynette muttering, while sorting out what he could do next:

In short, spend the coming night first, and find out where the danger of the night comes from by the way; then prepare to meet the "root of the beginning".

The so-called "seeds of the world", whether they refer to ordinary plant seeds or some symbolic special materials, the "root of initiation", a plant that shelters the human race, probably knows something.

There are two "wooden pile" stools in the house, but none of them intend to sit down and rest, including Ye Bai, no one hastily touched the arrangement in the thatched house, especially the hanging painting.

The four players are very clear that they are not believers in the root of the beginning. If they want to survive in this world and add strategy tasks, they cannot follow the arrangement of the starting camp.

"...It's a pity that our Linhai City Special Affairs Bureau doesn't have high-ranking knights, otherwise we wouldn't be so restrained now." Lian Ying said a little annoyed.

"What violent plans do you have?" Ye Bai asked.

"It's not really a plan, it can only be said that it's a generally useful method for clearing common missions..." Lian Ying scratched the side of her face with her index finger, "Catch a few people of different ages, identities, and status and interrogate them separately. We can get richer information from different angles, which is much more comprehensive than our own observation.”

"I've been waiting for your words." Ye Bai stood up straight, "Then what are you waiting for, let's act quickly."

"wait wait wait!"

Seeing Ye Bai rolling up his sleeves and preparing to go out, Lian Ying was startled, grabbed his arm, stared and said, "Why are you so stupid? You said it was a normal task, we are now They don’t have extraordinary abilities, so they can’t do this kind of thing.”

"If you want to get information in an environment where you don't know anything, you have to take some risks." Ye Bai said.

"Stop it, Ah Bai, there are two thousand people outside!"

Ye Bai just said casually, going out to arrest people at this time is not a rational decision.Although they really want to get some information related to the "root of initiation" in advance, but they don't know the ability of the root of initiation at present, it would be bad if they startled the snake.

The hut was quiet for a while, Mrs. Mary and Lian Ying were thinking about the situation in Nachu City and the details related to the mission in their hearts, while Xiao Hongchen was recovering his strength silently.

He was exhausted. The physical fitness of hunters and craftsmen was beyond ordinary people. Only scholars who had been sealed with extraordinary abilities were like delicate little girls who couldn't resist being pouted.

Ye Bai stood by the door and looked out through the gap in the curtain. Many people carried stone hammers on their shoulders and walked scattered on the path between the huts.

They were male and female, their clothes were torn, and their muscles exposed to the air were quite strong. They looked as ordinary as farmers who had been working in the fields for a long time.

"...There are no children, and there are no old people," Ye Bai said after looking at it for a while.

"What?" Lian Ying, who was closest to him, subconsciously said.

"The ratio of men to women is very close to one to one, and the ages are almost middle-aged, at most fluctuating around ten years old, and there are no younger or older ones..."

Listening to Ye Bai's babble, Lian Ying came over to look out, and said casually, "Fortunately, compared to not having to eat and drink, this can only be considered as weird."

The sparse crowd quickly disappeared into their huts. 2000 people sounded like a large number, but it was actually quite small, especially in the vast city of Nachu, this number of people seemed even more insignificant... Just Like a cluster of cacti planted in the desert.

A few minutes later, the sky outside suddenly changed.

The blue sky seemed to be covered by some kind of colossal monster, and within a few seconds, it was completely black like black ink. All light was swallowed up in an instant, and the whole world seemed to be sunk into a deep and silent world. At the bottom of the sea, all colors and sounds disappear completely like flowing into a bottomless hourglass.

The dark night, where you can't see your fingers, has arrived.

The players had already been mentally prepared, facing the sudden complete darkness, they did not panic or make any noise.

Ye Bai quietly walked to the agreed position and squatted down, at the same time stretched out his right hand and put it on the thigh of someone beside him.

At the same time, Ye Bai felt a slender hand protrude from the left side and rest on his thigh.

From the opposite side came Xiao Hongchen's deliberately lowered voice: "One."

Lian Ying's voice came from the position on the left: "Two."

"Three." Ye Bai said.

On the right side, Mrs. Mary said softly, "Four."

The players breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, it is easy to think of words such as "no light", "darkness", and "secret". However, there is no lighting equipment similar to candles in the thatched cottage. Obviously, the initial believers will not go out at night.

Facing the night where shadows are prevalent, it is difficult for players to determine each other's positions when they have lost their extraordinary abilities. They can't even protect themselves and support each other, let alone detect dangers in the dark night.

Therefore, it is very important to continuously confirm each other's location and always confirm each other's identity.

Both Xiao Hongchen and Lian Ying are professionals and are very good at dealing with such special situations. They skillfully compiled a set of simple and easy-to-understand dynamic codes, which can quickly confirm their identities.

Going out on a completely dark night is undoubtedly more risky than expected, but the four players here are not ordinary people, and they will not waver in the decision they made.

Xiao Hongchen heaved a sigh of relief, stopped speaking, and wrote on Lian Ying's thigh with his index finger:

"A team of two, speak up if something happens."

Lian Ying wrote the same content on Ye Bai's leg, and Ye Bai told Mrs. Mary in the same way.

After making a decision, Lian Ying held Ye Bai's left hand with her right hand, and Mrs. Mary held Xiao Hongchen's left hand with her right hand, and they were ready to stand up together and act according to the plan.
