You didn't follow the routine at all, did you?

"We're back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Gu Chi let out a sigh of relief, the S-level dungeon seems not as difficult as imagined?

It took Lingmao dozens of seconds to finally confirm that he and Gu Chi had really returned.

There are no zombies, no wind and snow, only children selling newspapers on the street, old telephone booths by the roadside, and homeless people rummaging through trash cans for food.

Everything was as it was in memory, as if nothing had happened before.

The only difference is the time.

It was noon before, and now it is almost afternoon to evening, but this does not affect the result.

She and Gu Chi successfully reversed the time and returned to the first day when they first came to Guicheng!

Their appearance returned to the way they were when they were young, and the injuries on her hands were all healed, without even a scar.

Lingmao touched his smooth and tender face, couldn't help laughing happily, accidentally lost control of his emotions, and wanted to throw himself into Gu Chi's arms to celebrate, but Gu Chi pointed a finger on his forehead, Interrupted the spellcasting.

"Don't get too excited, the game is not over yet," Gu Chi said.

It’s true that they reversed the time, but the main task of the dungeon is not to return from the future to the past, but to find the prophet.

There is still one last step left.

As if to confirm Gu Chi's words, the system popped up prompts again - two prompts.

[The player gun died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 4]

[Player Bai Yang died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 3]

Bell cat: "??!"

what's the situation?

The girl's lips parted slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

Aren't Gun Ash and Poplar old players at level 18?

How did he die?

When the word "also" came to mind, Bell Cat thought of mustard soup.

Jiang Niao didn't come back with her and Gu Chi, so he should be gone too.

Bell Cat couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Fortunately, it's just a game, and it doesn't matter if you die.

Lingmao quickly sorted out his emotions and re-entered the state: "Then shall we go to 'Eye' now?"

Gu Chi: "Do you know where it is?"

Bell Cat: "...I don't know."

"Fortunately, I know." Gu Chi said.

"Oh... huh?!" Lingmao opened her eyes wide, she thought that Gu Chi would say something like "I don't know if you can find a hammer", she was ready to be scolded, but Gu Chi said he knew?

Could it be that I heard wrong?

"Let's go, let's have a meal first." Gu Chi ignored the shocked girl, bought a newspaper from a newsboy, and walked forward humming a tune.

He told Bell Cat not to be happy too early, but he suddenly became happy.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, wait for me!" Seeing Gu Chi walking away, Lingmao quickly chased after him.

The hotel is the same hotel as before.

The food tasted good, but the bell cat didn't taste good at all.

Her mind was full of questions about "eyes".

These days, everyone lives and eats under the same roof, and she has also experienced what Gu Chi has experienced.

In other words, the information and clues she has are the same as Gu Chi's, but she doesn't see any connection between these things and "eyes", and Gu Chi refuses to tell her now, saying that a family should be tidy , We will talk about customs clearance when Chu Tiankuo comes back.

Anyway, Gu Chi's appetite was enough to hold her back, so it's useless to act like a baby.

Gu Chi didn't talk about "eyes" with her, so she could only change the subject and talk about Chu Tiankuo.

From the second day after entering the game, Chu Tiankuo and the other three disappeared. If he hadn't seen the system prompt just now, Lingmao would have thought it was a four-player book.

At first Mustard Soup and Jiang Niao thought that Chu Tiankuo and the others didn't want to take them to play, so they ran away overnight, but now it seems that Chu Tiankuo and the three were more likely to be involved in another time and space, and met a bigger Otherwise, Bai Yang and Gun Ash would not die so easily...

"That's not necessarily true." Gu Chi took a sip of his tea and said casually: "No matter what background setting, time is one of the highest-level powers. If you can't find the correct solution, let alone level 18, 180 level is the same as death."

An old-fashioned tone, as if he is really an old player.

Some people still believe it.

Bell Cat thought seriously: "You are right."

well……

Gu Chi sighed in his heart.

After dinner, the two walked along the street.

Bell cat saw a familiar old lady, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

Could it be that the time-deception city where she and Gu Chi are now is not the time-deception city in the beginning?

Just because there were no prophets in the time-strange city at that time, it doesn't mean that there are no prophets in this time-delusion city either.

Even the element of time travel has appeared, and it makes sense to have a parallel world, isn't it?

Starting from the fake time-deception city, after many difficulties and twists and turns, finally came to the real time-deception city, then found the target, completed the task and cleared the dungeon... This is also in line with the logic of the game!

The more Lingmao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and ran to the old lady in three steps at a time, which surprised the old lady.

"Hi mother-in-law, have you heard of the prophet?"

"What do you know?"

Bell Cat: "..."

Old lady: "What first?"

Bell Cat: "..."

I didn't even speak, why did you pick it up by yourself!

"It's okay, mother-in-law, you are busy."

"oh."

His self-confidence was hit, and Ling Mao returned to Gu Chi with his mouth pursed, and asked, "Gu Yuan, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Have you?" Gu Chi tilted his head, "I think you're pretty smart?"

Bell Cat's eyes were moving: "Really?"

Gu Chi nodded: "Really, because a really stupid person won't find out that he is stupid."

Bell Cat: "..."

You are a real comforter.

Under the double blow, Lingmao completely gave up the idea of ​​using his brain.

Once people learn to play badly, they will find that the whole world suddenly becomes brighter.

It's okay to solve some secrets, wouldn't it be nice to go shopping with Gu Chi?

Lingmao actually liked this kind of feeling quite a lot, and didn't think about anything, just walked with Gu Chi on the side of the road while the wind was blowing, and walked through one old street after another.

I wish the road was longer...

The night is getting darker.

The mist filled the air again, and the two went back and forth to the entrance of the hotel.

As on the first day, the restaurant was closed by this time.

Bell Cat tentatively asked: "Shall we go back to the hotel first?"

Since the last time leap until now, he has not closed his eyes, and the bell cat is a little sleepy.

I wonder if Gu Chi will allow her to sleep tonight?

Will I encounter zombies again after waking up?

Gu Chi glanced at the time, it was 22:18.

"hold on."

When Gu Chi didn't say anything, Bell Mao guessed it himself.

"Are we waiting for Chu Tiankuo?" the girl asked.

"Yeah." Gu Chi looked at the night sky, and there was deep worry in his words: "Bai Yang and the gun ash died, they should have reached the last moment, although I don't know what the speed of time over there is, but I feel that it should be fast I hope Chu Tiankuo can persevere."

I hope Chu Tiankuo can hold on?

Listening to Gu Chi's tone, Lingmao always felt a little strange, but she couldn't say exactly what was wrong.

Also, how did Gu Chi know to wait here?

Bell Cat was about to ask, when a voice came from behind.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm not late, am I?"

Bell Mao turned around and was stunned, is it really Chu Tiankuo?

The man still wears the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the smile under the lens is elegant and gentle. I haven't seen him for so many days—or I haven't seen him for so many years. red his white shirt.

"Are you injured?" Gu Chi frowned, walked quickly to Chu Tiankuo's side, checked his injury, and called Lingmao to heal Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's just a small injury, don't bother."

Bell Mao put down the hand that had just been raised, wondering why Chu Tiankuo refused to treat him.

Could it be that this man is a shivering M who likes pain?

Lingmao didn't ask any more questions, but just gave Chu Tiankuo a strange look, and obediently retreated to Gu Chi's side.

"Did you also encounter zombies and blizzards?" Gu Chi asked.

Chu Tiankuo nodded: "I also met a white bear on the way to the bell tower."

Gu Chi: "Do you remember Neil's letter?"

Chu Tiankuo: "He has a father named William who works in the police station."

Gu Chi: "William died in the hospital."

Chu Tiankuo: "Homeless people and sanitation workers."

Gu Chi: "There is no prophet."

Chu Tiankuo: "If you have, you will have died long ago."

Gu Chi: "Past, future."

Chu Tiankuo: "Now."

The two spoke faster and faster, with fewer and fewer words.

At the end, Chu Tiankuo laughed: "Our experience is the same."

Gu Chi also smiled: "It seems that you also guessed where the prophet is."

Chu Tiankuo: "You are very smart."

Gu Chi: "You're not bad either."

Bell cat: "???"

No, what are these two people talking about without saying anything?

How did you guess where the Prophet was, and the business started blowing up again?

Is this the talk between high IQ and high IQ? Why can't she understand a word...

"Bingmao, get out of the way!"

At this moment, Gu Chi suddenly took out a pistol, scaring Lingmao to hide away.

"boom!"

Screeching gunshots shattered the night.

Not far away, under a street lamp, a man convulsed and fell into a pool of blood, before the plastic bag in his hand could be thrown into the trash can.

Lingmao's eyes were dull: "Gu Yuan, you...why did you kill him?"

Chu Tiankuo was also stunned. He knew the reason for Gu Chi's action, but he didn't expect Gu Chi to be so decisive and still use a gun.

If the police are attracted, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

"Haven't figured it out yet?" Gu Chi said to Lingmao, "Why do homeless people and sanitation workers get infected first when the zombie virus breaks out?"

Because the trash can is the source of infection.

On November 13, 5776, this person threw the virus into the trash can in front of them, and only then did the next zombie apocalypse happen.

This is also the reason why Gu Chi chose to wait for Chu Tiankuo here.

Chu Tiankuo is a very observant person, which can be seen from the fact that Chu Tiankuo specially recorded the number of homeless people at the beginning.

Such people often have good brains.

That night he could notice that someone came to throw garbage, and of course Chu Tiankuo could too.

If Chu Tiankuo can successfully turn back the time, back to this day, he will definitely come to the door of the hotel to stop the other party from releasing the virus, because this is the most critical part of finding the prophet.

"We must ensure that the Prophet can live until tomorrow." Gu Chi said.

"It means that the Prophet is actually in the city?" Bell Cat's little head didn't turn this corner.

She understood a little bit about ensuring the safety of the prophet. Bell cat remembered that Neil said that if there really was a prophet and he was soft-spoken, he should have been torn apart by zombies. But the problem is, they asked so many people that day, no one has heard of the prophet?

"Is the Prophet an unremarkable child?" Bell Cat asked.

"No, no matter how young a child is, as long as he shows the slightest bit of miraculousness, it is impossible for him to be completely unnoticed, unless no one can understand his words." Gu Chi said, "And Neil mentioned it twice in his words and letters. I have been to the hospital, plus the scene of time reversal, the hospital has appeared three times in total.”

What kind of person lives in a hospital, and everyone can't understand what they say, and they don't attract attention?

Bell Cat was a little confused: "W-Which one?"

"Baby."

Chu Tiankuo pushed his glasses and gave the answer: "At the point in time we are currently in, the Prophet is still a newborn baby."

Bell Cat was even more confused: "Baby?"

"That's right." It may be that the dungeon is coming to an end. Tonight's Gu Chi is very patient. He explained: "Neil once ridiculed the prophet why he didn't come out to remind everyone to prevent the outbreak of the zombie virus. In fact, the prophet has given a reminder , it’s just that no one can understand his cries.”

"Since I don't understand, there is no way to mention the word 'prophet'."

"And after today, the zombie virus will break out, and the hospital that accepts the homeless will become a hard-hit area, and the prophet will die directly in the hands of the zombies."

"That's why we didn't get any news about the Prophet from the beginning to the end, from the beginning to the end."

The Prophet cannot be found when he is alive, and even more so when he is dead.

Gu Chi had been trying to find a thread before, a thread that could connect all the clues, but when he saw those passing pictures in reverse time, he found it.

time.

From the very beginning, the most important prompts are right in front of their eyes.

The darkest is black under the lamp.

That's the whole logic of this copy.

Difficult to say, easy to say.

Lingmao was completely dumbfounded this time, she looked at Gu Chi with a look of doubting the world.

Regardless of whether the above inferences are correct or not, how can so many things be compiled based on some information that cannot be broken any more? Is it really something that humans can do?

This man is too powerful...

In fact, there is one thing that Gu Chi didn't say, that there should be more than "one" prophet.

The "eye" exists in every timeline that has not been killed, and these timelines correspond to different time and space. The "zombie line" they experienced is nothing but thousands of parallels emanating from the time affected by the clock tower one of the world.

The game deliberately separates the seven players and promotes the same plot in different time and space, which is to remind them of this.

But also because of the clock tower, the time in Shigui City is very different from the outside world.

It is a special individual in this world.

It is possible that only a few days have passed since the outside world, and decades have passed in Shigui City, or it may have been decades since the outside world, and only a few days have passed in Shigui City.

It didn't even pass a few days, and time began to reverse as time went by. That's why their leaders knew about the Prophet, but the residents in the city hadn't heard of it.

This is slightly similar to "only because of being in this mountain".

After hearing Gu Chi's deduction, Chu Tiankuo felt relieved.

"I can now be sure that I was right."

Chu Tiankuo did not dare to say that he was the only one who came up with this result, but if Gu Chi thought the same as him, then this dungeon...

It's time to end.

Chu Tiankuo took out his gun with a smile and pointed it at Gu Chi.
