Chapter 193 The Intricate Inside Story

A hundred cigarettes short.

After Zhou Ze thought over and over again that his plan to strip Er Gouzi's down jacket was fruitless, he turned his attention to the family aristocratic medal on Kleiss's body. This medal is inlaid with gold and silver, and it looks no less exquisite than a gold pocket watch. How many.

It's the only thing that I don't know what it does. It seems to be quite valuable. I wonder if it can be sold?

Try to sell the Medal of Nobility to the boss.

A prompt box pops up on the screen.

[This behavior may cause Kleis to shake in his heart, and may reduce his loyalty. Do you want to continue? 】

Gan!Of course you can't continue!

He's not stupid, so he wouldn't gamble with the loyalty of a game character just for a few cigarettes, and he can tell which is more important at a glance.

"At the worst, I'll sell other things. Well, I can sell one piece each of painkillers, bandages, and hemostatic medicine. I'll buy one less Molotov cocktail, and cigarettes are almost enough."

After selling the supplies that I had prepared, I finally collected the amount of the transaction.

The [-] cigarettes in his hand hadn't been warmed up yet, and within half an hour he turned back into a single-digit pauper again. This didn't match Zhou Ze's usual concept of playing rpg games to collect money, and it made him feel a little itchy awkward.

After going around in a big circle, I was finally ready to go.

Clays and Er Gouzi each carried a large luggage, a long gun in their hands, and a machete tied to their waists. In the small backpack on the inside of Clays, there were also three holy artifacts with different functions, which could be called armed weapons. to the teeth.

Under the effect of the Hand of St. Vincent, Kress has basically recovered from the injuries he suffered in the battle with the ghoul, and his mental value has returned to its best state.

Ask the pawnbroker for the location of Bank of Azka.

Since he had just reached a big deal with Kles, the boss gave him a detailed map of Azka town without hesitation, which marked the location where Azka Bank is at the intersection of the central square and the south of the city...

On the way to the bank to do the main storyline, Zhou Ze met another NPC who was obviously different on the street.

He was wearing a tattered red cloth, his face and hands were covered with rags, his movements were timid and full of hesitation, hiding in the corner of the ruins of the town as unobtrusive as possible.

If it weren't for the horizontal screen of the game, which allowed him to look at the entire map, Zhou Ze might not have been able to spot him hiding in the corner at a glance.

Although this guy looks like a human in appearance, the weird clothes and the claw-like hands protruding from under the bandage are obviously not the characteristics of a human being, at least not a normal human being.

"Why did the cruel gods choose me to become this miserable plaything?"

He muttered to himself in a slightly harsh voice, his tone full of uneasiness, and the sound coming from the speakers was as penetrating as the cold wind blowing from the tomb.

Another plot to NPC?

With the mentality of trying to trigger all the clues in the first week, Zhou Ze asked Kress to get close to this unknown creature.

The bandaged creature noticed the approaching two people, stared at Kress with yellow eyes like a ghoul, jumped back quickly, and warned: "Don't come close to me."

[Option [-]: I am Clay Kahn, who are you? 】

[Option ②: I am looking for a way to break the curse of this city, do you know anything? 】

[Option [-]: Watch it leave quietly. 】

Zhou Ze thought again and again and chose the more radical second sentence.

"Break the curse on this city?"

The bandaged creature fell silent: "You, don't you know your current situation? Sad lowly creature, this is the lost city, not the inferior form of existence of the so-called curse you imagined."

This guy really knows something inside!
Zhou Ze used whispers to make Kles ask the other party: "What does the form of existence of the lost city mean?".

"What is the Lost City?"

Kress didn't seem to be able to fully understand the information transmitted by Zhou Ze, and only made general questions, but this was enough.

"What is it?" The bandage creature sneered and said, "You have been here for so long, have you not found anything? This is... hiss...!?"

Its words suddenly stopped, as if something forcibly blocked its mouth, preventing it from saying the next words.

Soon the bandaged creature covered its head in pain and whined.

"Is there any restriction that you can't say it?"

Zhou Ze, who was outside the screen, immediately guessed the reason. This kind of routine is too common in both games and film and television works.

The secret hidden behind this lost city is not as simple as the catastrophe seen by the residents, there is also a deeper mysterious force manipulating everything.

Perhaps, only after leaving the Lost City can we get a glimpse of the mystery of the entire incident.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

"Amytheus said 'don't focus on this world' in a roundabout way, maybe because of some kind of restriction, there is no way to tell Kress the answer directly, otherwise if it is really to show favor to the wheel of fortune, it will definitely not Make the attitude so ambiguous."

In the game, the bandage creature gradually recovers from the pain.

[Option [-]: You seem to know something inside, but you can’t tell it. I am looking for a way to escape from this lost city, and I have also obtained some clues. Do you want to come with me? (Take out the No. [-] key from your pocket)]

[Option ②: Leave silently. 】

Without a doubt, choose the first one.

If this bandaged creature who knows the inside story can be accepted as a temporary teammate, the value will definitely be much greater than Ergouzi.

"key?"

The bandage creature saw the key zero in Kles' hand, but his expression showed a hint of confusion.

Zhou Ze's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't Key Zero the key to escaping the Lost City?He thought that this key must be an important item of extremely high value, so he asked Kress to take it out to attract the bandaged creature.

But if not, then there is trouble.

Not only may there be no way to recruit this temporary teammate, but the main line of escaping the lost city is also broken. I don’t know where to go to quickly advance the main line. Should we pin all our hopes on the old man of the antique shop or the scientist Cameron? ?

"I see. Is the embodiment you found the key?"

Just when Zhou Ze was worrying about the possible interruption of plot clues, the bandage creature whispered in a harsh and hoarse voice: "Since you have found the embodiment that you don't know whether you are yourself or someone else, it might be good to try to send you out first." ..."

What is this guy talking about?What concretization?

How many settings are hidden behind "Old Exile"?

"What do you mean?" Kress also looked confused: "What concretization?"

"The embodiment is what the inhabitants of this place are like and the Lost City... Damn it, I can't say any more."

The bandaged creature held his forehead with one hand, as if his head was beginning to hurt again.

It walked towards Cress: "I can help you escape from here, and I can guarantee that if I have the opportunity, I will tell you all the secrets I know about the lost city, but there is one condition."

"What condition? Say."

Chris didn't think about it.

The bandaged creature's already hoarse voice lowered even further: "I want you to swear on your soul that you must save me after you escape from here!"
