flying switch

Different from the lifelessness of most free areas in Flying Shuttle, the Black Cat Area is still the same, with smoke, red light districts, neon signs and a lazy but peaceful atmosphere.The neon sign was drenched by the rain, and the car slowly drove through the alley, feeling strangely relaxed in my heart.Zhong Rong was stuck in the car seat, and there was no movement in the rear mirror: "The Swift Gang didn't come here."

really weird.

"This place is really strange," he said after thinking, "It's the same distance from the five major gangs, not far away, but it hasn't been affected."

"Probably related to witches," Qian Shuichong said, "For a person who has the ability to 'prophet' and knows so many things about treasures, the place where she is should also be so magical."

Zhong Rong wiped away the traces of raindrops through the car window, and looked at the smoke outside the window: "Do you feel that this place is familiar?"

Qian Shuichong responded comfortably: "Yes."

Zhong Rong turned his head and looked at him: "This is like an alley outside the alley bar."

Yes, the atmosphere here is exactly the same as the alleys he has walked through countless times.It was the feeling of nostalgia that intensified his comfort and prevented him from recognizing the alley bar before it disappeared.

Not only is the Black Cat Bar like an alley bar, but everything in the Black Cat area is tainted with a hunter-like smell. It seems that the entire alley bar area has been moved over and preserved.

"The witch is the owner of the bar, we all know that," Qian Shuichong slowly drove through the alley, "It's like the Black Cat Bar, the Black Cat area also looks inconspicuous, but it keeps the gang alliances out, I think Guess this area is not unowned."

"The practice of hiding the bar and the district is the same..." Zhong Rong asked, "Do you think the boss of this district is a witch?"

"Although there is no such thing as a boss in the free zone," Qian Shuichong shrugged, "but it's true."

The witch is full of mysteries, her past and secrets are like the smoke in the Black Cat District that can't be grasped.But at this time, these are not important, what is important is the clues about the treasure.

"Fortunately she chose to help us," Zhong Rong muttered, sitting up suddenly, "Black cat!"

The dry ground connecting the Black Cat Bar and the street intersection is covered by the eaves, and it becomes the place where the stretched little black cat chooses to stay.It opened its paws, and performed a standard cat stretching pose. At the end of the beard, it trembled, sat up licking its paws, and glanced in the direction of the black sports car.

The raindrops slammed on the car window, hitting where Zhong Rong's eyes were.He closed his eyes reflexively, and then opened them again, and the black cat disappeared.Instead, the open door of the bar and the continuous overflow of smoke soon mixed with the rainwater, vainly surrounding the black car.

"Relax."

It was the voice of a witch.

Zhong Rong let go of [-]'s wrist, which was held by his backhand. He lightly tapped his arm, touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, closed his eyes skillfully, and waited for the witch to take them into the house.

The black cat's cry woke them up. The two opened their eyes and saw the witch hugging the cat with a hint of apology on the corner of her mouth: "I need to confirm, it's a bit abrupt, sorry."

She let the smoke lift the falling crystal ball out of thin air, and two chairs flew out from behind Zhong Rong and Qian Shuichong, bumping into their legs. When the witch looked up, the two of them were already sitting properly at the divination table.

Zhong Rong didn't forget the help of the witch who used secret signs to guide them to the cold water drops at the fire gang's celebration, and he opened his mouth to thank: "Thank you..."

The witch raised her hand to interrupt him, looking more like asking some questions.Her eyes were nailed to Zhong Rong through a layer of hood: "You don't have...you don't know how?"

Zhong Rong didn't understand: "Method?"

"The drop of cold water in the illusion, you found it, you left it in the Mars area, and threw it into the burning volcano," the witch said slowly, "You didn't get the new treasure, it's because you don't know how ?"

Not only the method, Zhong Rong thought, he didn't even know the location.

Qian Shuichong put on a smiling face: "You know the method, we are here to ask you for advice."

The witch turned her eyes to him, and snorted a hum sound with a descending ending, quite interested: "You have been advancing and retreating together, it's rare that you didn't tear yourself apart for the benefit."

Qian Shuichong's smile remained unchanged: "Teammates are the ones who don't tear themselves apart for profit, don't they?"

"Really?" The corners of the witch's lips curled up, and the bright red color seemed to be mixed with bitterness.She seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up and changed the subject: "You have formed a connection with the new treasure. The new treasure was very close to you, and the cold water droplets became a bridge between you, and you almost got it There's a new treasure."

Zhong Rong leaned forward: "The treasure is still in the volcano?"

The witch nodded slowly: "This is... Zuo Xun, the test left behind. You have already met most of the conditions, but it's a pity that you didn't know that day." She laughed when she said this.Not the mysterious and constant smile of the wizard, but a real smile: "It's amazing that you have united three parties, hunters, free players and gangs."

Zhong Rong's expression changed.

What are the strange pauses in the witch's talk about Zuo Xun, and the "conditions" that followed what happened to them these days?

"Are you curious about the conditions?" The witch looked at the expressions of the two and guessed what they were thinking. "The conditions are very simple. There are only two conditions. One is to prove that you have trustworthy companions, and the other is the friendship with the players in the place where the volcano belongs. Fei The design of the switch is by no means to divide the hunter and the gang into opposition, but when Zuo Xun designed this level, the gang and the hunter were already in opposition, so she had to change her thinking."

Qian Shuichong keenly captured the details: "Zuo Xie has never told the outside world about the design process of the treasure. How did you know?"

His tone was polite, but his question was somewhat offensive.The smile on the corner of the witch's mouth did not disappear because of this, and she even looked at [-] who was losing his composure at this time with some amusement: "You have never been at ease with me, have you?"

Qian Shuichong knew that he was impolite, seeing the witch avoided answering, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.He smiled apologetically: "I offended, I'm sorry."

The witch didn't care much: "Let's go back to the method. You cast the cold water drop to prove the first condition, and the rest is not difficult to do. Just bring a fireman and help your friends walk to the place where you cast the cold water drop, and new treasures will appear. "

In other words - they have to go back to Agni Volcano - the Agni Volcano which is surrounded and guarded by the three major gangs.

The two fell into a brief silence at the same time.

The witch teased the black cat's tail: "You will need time to communicate with that friend of the Agni Gang."

Qian Shuichong smiled shallowly: "Do you know what the new treasure is?"

Interrogative sentences, but the tone is very certain.

The witch just smiled and scratched her fingers around the tip of the black cat's tail.Qian Shuichong and her looked at each other through the hood for a moment, then closed their eyes and leaned back, silently compromising: "You have helped us a lot, maybe there is something we can do for you."

The witch looked at him and sighed silently: "There is indeed one thing."

The smoke drifted out from under her feet, rising and surrounding Zhong Rong, she stretched out her hand and swiped in the air, a familiar watch appeared in front of Zhong Rong in the smoke.

The watch he took out of the race map.

The witch's voice was amplified and echoed by the smoke, as if it came from a distance: "Put this down, you can leave with your eyes closed."

Zhong Rong subconsciously looked in the direction of [-], but the fog was like a wall, separating the two of them tightly.He touched his pocket and pulled out his watch, but didn't take it out immediately: "...why?"

"Why?" The witch repeated, reading these three words softly, "Why don't you want to hand it over?"

Zhong Rong shrank his fingers: "...Intuition."

He wasn't lying.His intuition prevented him from handing over the watch, as if he had overlooked something, and this watch represented an important clue. If he handed it over now, he would never know the truth of the clue.

The watch was placed in his pocket, and at the end it seemed to be connected to three people, their backs were facing him, their faces were unclear, but they all felt familiar.

The witch was silent for a moment, then sighed again: "When you change your mind and find the black cat at the street corner, it will take the watch."

Black cat?

Zhong Rong raised his eyes: "You next..."

The fog intensified, and Zhong Rong was pressed on the chair, interrupting the second half of his sentence. He couldn't make a sound, and could only hear the witch's farewell voice saying goodbye: "I wish you success."

The fog was blinding, he closed his eyes unbearably, and opened them again the next second, and [-] returned to the black car with him.

The door of the Black Cat Bar was closed, and the rain was pattering on the car windows.Zhong Rong took out the watch: "The witch wants this."

After the fog started, Qian Shuichong was blocked by the fog all the way, and didn't hear what the witch and Zhong Rong said at all. Only then did he understand what the witch wanted: "You didn't give it to her?"

"I always feel that I will miss something when I give it out," Zhong Rong looked at the watch, "This watch didn't play a big role in the competition, and it didn't work much when it came out... But I feel that it is not simple, and it must be given to MOON Study it more carefully."

"And the situation in this place, let's tell her together," Qian Shuichong shifted into gear, turned around and saw Zhong Rong fasten his seat belt, and paused for a moment, "...very good."

Zhong Rong didn't understand, so he recalled the hint given by the witch, but didn't pay attention to [-]'s mistake: "The Fire Gang...I have to talk to Ice Shooter."

"He may not be willing to return to the Mars area in such a short time," Qian Shuichong returned to his state, "We still have to bypass the gangs on the third floor."

"T is strictly investigating his own people, this sneaking may not work," Zhong Rong leaned back with a headache, "I don't know the details of the new treasure either. The witch knows about it, right?"

Qian Shuichong nodded: "But as she said, treasure hunting is a test for Zuo Xun, and she is safeguarding Zuo Xun's will. She never told us the specific name or what the treasure is. Han Shuidrop knew it from T, T It was stolen by attacking the data center. They intended to do it differently."

Zhong Rong compared the two in his mind: "But they are similar in some ways."

"There are shadow traces of early players on them," Qian Shuichong and Zhong Rong briefly looked at each other, "I noticed it."

"And no one knows when they started playing the game," Zhong Rong turned sideways. "Who knows the exact time of the origin of the Swift Gang? No one. The witch is the same. The treasure clue is directly in front of her black cat. No one knows her .”

Qian Shuichong narrowed his eyes: "So...they are also similar in terms of treasures. T was already snatching rubies three years ago, and he knew about it before the will was announced. And the witch directly appeared in the treasure hunt In the clues, whoever gets the treasure will meet her."

"Is there anyone else in Feishu who has been in contact with Treasure so early?"

"As far as I know, no."

Zhong Rong held his breath: "Witch, T and Zuo Xing, exactly three people."

Qian Shuichong slammed on the brakes: "Old friends from the university, an unknown third person, and Zuo Xuan and Kong Shuwei who have continued their friendship since the founding of Feishuo."

"Witches are more likely to encounter witches on the treasure hunt," Zhong Rong said, "T only knows rubies."

Their eyes meet.

"According to the timeline, Kong Shuwei has already split from Zuo Xun at this stage of the treasure." Qian Shuichong looked back at the direction of the bar, "Witches don't talk about the next treasure..."

Zhong Rong continued: "She may not know."

Qian Shuichong rubbed the steering wheel and restarted the ignition: "This is not good news."

Then they might be on their own.Without the biggest clue person, coupled with the three major gang alliances that are pressing every step of the way, their next treasure hunting journey will be very difficult.

"Zuo Xuan changed her habits, and the events of that year must have affected her," Zhong Rong sat up straight, "Moon was able to find out the details of the two of them's private affairs during that time, remember those details, we will definitely use them later. "

The raindrops were getting lighter, the car stopped and turned off, the two looked up, and appeared in the field of vision like a dream.
