flying switch

The sharp-edged roller skates crushed the purple smoke, revealing the purple neon tubes inlaid on the shoes.The light tubes are arranged obliquely, forming a "Z" that seems to be written casually.

Zhong Rong's knuckles narrowly sliced ​​through the stalker's earlobe, and several gold coins rolled down one after another. The stalker covered his earlobe and slid quickly to distance himself: "Wait..."

Zhong Rong ignored her, clenched his knuckles and rushed up again, he didn't believe that the stalker could dodge again.

Seeing that Zhong Rong didn't stop, she quickly drew out a samurai sword from her back and blocked it in front of her eyes: "Wait a minute!"

Zhong Rong's murderous aura was exposed, and he stabbed at the vital points again and again without hesitation. The stalker blocked it very hard. Within 2 minutes, the rivet bracelet on his wrist and the punk necklace on his neck were all killed and broken.She was forced into a corner by Zhong Rong who only used one knuckle blade, so she had to pull out another knife, and put it in the shape of an X in front of her chest: "Ruby! Is that yours?"

Zhong Rong slammed on the brakes, retracted the sharp blade stopped in front of the stalker, and looked at the stalker.She has short hair with purple highlights, and covers her eyes with goggles, revealing the lower half of her face with mechanical patchwork lines. She is about two heads shorter than him, dressed in extremely punk, and looks very familiar—she is in the alley bar The woman who entered the private room.

Seeing that he put away his murderous aura, the stalker quickly took off the eyepiece: "I have something to ask you. Have you seen the person who handed over the mission to you? Do you know who he/she is?"

Zhong Rong frowned at her younger than expected eyes: "Why are you asking this?"

The stalker—a punk girl showed an anonymous message to Zhong Rong: "I received a message from this person very early on, first telling me that I had sent a mission, then saying that the mission was accepted, and finally this message, let me I went to the private room to get the gem. I want to know who this guy is and why he did it."

Zhong Rong confirmed that the girl was telling the truth: "I also want to know who he is. I have never seen him. I thought you were this person. Sorry, but he is also anonymous here."

The girl pursed her lips, took out a ruby ​​and stuffed it into Zhong Rong's hand after a while: "I can't take this, please find that person and give it to him."

It was the first time Zhong Rong encountered such a situation: "Huh?"

The girl looked up at him: "If you can, tell that person that I don't want treasures."

Zhong Rong couldn't accept this gem: "No, you misunderstood, I am not responsible for after-sales..."

"Are you a hunter? How much do you want? I can give you a private mission," the girl anxiously opened the mission initiation page, "Is one hundred thousand enough?"

Before Zhong Rong could speak, she handed the mission scroll to Zhong Rong: "15 future coins, return the gem to that person, and then tell me who that person is."

Zhong Rong frowned: "This is not something I can decide alone."

"Then you can pick it up later," the girl stubbornly stuffed the scroll into Zhong Rong's arms, and sent Zhong Rong a friend request, "I will contact you later, I still have something to do. Goodbye, uh, Wu Zhong."

Zhong Rong saw the girl's name: "Z?"

"It's me," the girl put on the goggles again, and was about to accelerate away when she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you have to be careful, there are people from the Swift Gang secretly collecting all the red gems on the market recently, be careful not to be targeted, Several people with red gemstones have been deregistered."

Swift gang?

Zhong Rong raised his head, and Z had already accelerated and rushed far away.He put the ruby ​​and the mission scroll into the inventory suspiciously, thinking about what Z just said. Z seems to be implying that he and Mr. T are the masterminds who let people cancel their accounts, but he doesn't understand that Mr. T's reputation is very good among players. People support him?

The smoke dissipated, and the wobbly fox demon man walked to the window to put away the red light that was on. He seemed to see a blue light disappear in the mist.He looked to the right, but only saw the green signboard, flashing from time to time.

Half of the green laser fell off and hung danglingly at the entrance of the nightclub.Zhong Rong looked up and saw countless logos with lasers hanging down, but he didn't recognize which gang's design it belonged to for a long time.He walked forward and met [-] who was waiting for him at the door: "Are you waiting for me?"

[-] put away the homepage and didn't ask him about the tracker: "Yeah."

Zhong Rong accidentally caught a glimpse of the chat history on the [-] homepage, to whom did he send the whole picture of the nightclub gate and the logo picture (Zhong Rong guessed that he sent it to his partner). It seems that he also thinks the nightclub logo is very strange.

It's not so much the logo that's weird as the whole nightclub is weird.Although the place is deserted, it is not dilapidated. The dance floor, bar, and video game hall seem to have been frozen together with time, and they still maintain the appearance of more than ten years ago, giving people the illusion of going back in time.

"It's very old-fashioned here," [-] silently approached, with uncertainty, "Does it look familiar?"

"Familiar," Zhong Rong affirmed [-]'s thoughts, and he also felt that this place seemed familiar, "Why do I feel that this place is a bit like an alley bar?"

Yes, the layout of this place is exactly the same as the alley bar.The problem is, the alley bar was officially designed by Flyswitch, and it was also designed in the early stage of the game...

Could it be that the guy who designed the Alley Bar was a gang member who jumped to Flyswitch?Or is it because the designer ran here with a trumpet and set up a twins nightclub in the alley bar?

"By the way," Zhong Rong suddenly remembered, and took out the ruby, "The tracker returned this to me, and asked me to return this to the person who issued the mission, but I don't know who he is."

Something was knocked to the ground, clanging loudly, and Gululu rolled to Zhong Rong's feet.He lowered his head to look, and the bright crystal ball reflected a beam of light in the darkness. Zhong Rong suddenly looked up to find the source of the beam of light, and sure enough, he saw a black cat with a high tail on the shelf where the divination items were placed.

The black cat hides in the darkness, only a pair of green eyes glow faintly.It flicked its tail and swung it downward, as if signaling Zhong Rong to pick up the crystal ball.

"Let's talk about the anonymous person later." Zhong Rong picked up the crystal ball and glanced at [-], "Chasing the cat first."

[-] took the crystal ball: "If you need my help, just say it."

Zhong Rong nodded, followed behind the black cat who was walking unhurriedly forward, while putting the ruby ​​back, he reached out and touched the knuckles, not forgetting to remind [-]: "Knife."

[-] smiled at him: "Don't worry."

One by one, the Tarot cards were hung diagonally on the wall, like a weird and abrupt ornament.The shadow of the black cat stepped on these cards and walked all the way into the smoke at the end.

Zhong Rong clenched his fists, and Shen Xin followed into the cloud of smoke. [-]'s breath followed him not too far away, allowing him to feel it, which was very reassuring under the premise that his vision was covered.

A deep and vague female voice asked softly, "What did you bring back?"

When the cat meowed, Zhong Rong realized that this was a conversation between the cat's owner and it.

The woman was silent for a while, and then her voice amplified a lot: "You two, please close your eyes."

Zhong Rong frowned and didn't believe her, but suddenly Jiu Qing grabbed his wrist.He looked in the direction of [-], his wrist was gently kneaded, and [-] softly persuaded: "It's okay, your hearing is not bad."

Zhong Rong didn't speak, but closed his eyes obediently, and at the same time concentrated on the sound of his ears, in case someone plotted against him.

After about four or five seconds passed, the woman's voice became clear: "Open your eyes."

Zhong Rong opened his eyes, looked at the witch holding a cat and the wizard-style house in front of him, and hurriedly looked back.The smoke that had previously blocked his way had receded, tightly blocking the door of the house.

[-] Released Zhong Rong's wrist, he suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at the witch: "This is..."

"A little trick." The witch's red lips curled up, her eyes were hidden under the shadow of the hood and she couldn't see clearly.She walked behind the divination table, picked up a crystal ball, wiped it clean, and placed it on the wooden stand on the table. With a wave of her hand, two velvet chairs appeared in front of Zhong Rong and Jiu out of thin air.

[-] sat down first, took off the eyepiece and looked back.Zhong Rong hesitated for a moment, then sat on the chair and took off the eyepiece.Look at the witch with [-].

"The cat can keep up with me, and it is willing to bring you here." The witch's bright red fingertips slid across the crystal ball, "You carry the wealth code left by the dead."

Zhong Rong and [-] briefly exchanged eye contact, confirming that this is where Zuo Xun reminded him to come: "You mean Ruby."

"Yes," the witch never let Zhong Rong see her eyes, she stretched out her hand, "show me something."

Zhong Rong didn't hesitate any longer, and put the ruby ​​in her palm: "Is the hint of the next treasure with you?"

The witch did not answer him, but carefully looked at the ruby ​​in her palm, and pushed the ruby ​​back after a long time: "Your road has not come to an end yet."

Zhong Rong curled his lips, he was really annoyed by the way this witch was playing tricks, every sentence had to be full of meaning.

Just say no and it's over?

When he was about to give up directly, regardless of whether it was a treasure or not, [-] probably saw what he was thinking, and directly reached out and held his thigh, asking the witch for advice: "You mean 'follow the black 'Cats ahead' isn't a real cue?"

The witch nodded: "The reminder is always in your hands, you just need to look more carefully."

Zhong Rong frowned slowly, staring at the witch: "Have we met?"

[-] glanced at him quickly, but was ignored by him.He stared at the witch persistently: "I feel very familiar."

The witch smiled: "Maybe."

[-] patted his thigh, and continued to talk to the witch: "Look more carefully, are you talking about rubies?"

"Yes," the witch crossed her fingers, revealing her slender wrist with a wizard bracelet, "You didn't see the information directly from its inside before, but this time you have to see the information from its inside."

"You mean open it?"

"Yes."

Zhong Rong took the gemstone in his hand, and interjected: "There is no place to open it. We have observed it, and there is no way to open it." Alai almost broke the gemstone and observed it, isn't it careful? ?

The witch shook her head: "No, you used the wrong method."

Zhong Rong silently held the gemstone in his palm and took a deep breath: "You know how to do it."

The witch's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, but you have to ask questions before I can answer."

The hint left by Zuo Xun who was found by them was not useless, it led him here, which meant that he was close to the second hint.Although this witch is talking, she must have important information about the next prompt in her hand.There had to be a certain way to get her to get the message out.Zhong Rong's mind moved quickly, looking at the room.

The witch's nails tapped the crystal ball that had been placed on the table from the beginning, and Zhong Rong's eyes lit up: "Divination!"

The witch's smile seemed to widen a bit.

Zhong Rong immediately adjusted his sitting posture, [-] understood, and took half a step back with the chair, so that Zhong Rong could face the witch.Zhong Rong held the ruby ​​in both hands, stared at the witch, a little nervous: "Can you help me with divination?"

The witch stroked the crystal ball, and finally raised her eyes, revealing bright green eyes: "Of course. What do you want to know?"

Zhong Rong seemed to be seen in the depths of his soul by a witch, and his heart was shocked: "...I want to know how to open the gem."

The witch looked down at the crystal ball.A pink mist rose from the palm-sized shiny ball, and gradually, the mist deepened and spread like blood.The wind chime was automatic with no wind, and when it rang, it seemed as if a drop of bleach had dripped into the center of the near-black mist, and the silvery white spread from the center to the surroundings in an instant, replacing all the other colors.After a while, the crystal ball returned to its original brightness.

Zhong Rong held his breath, waiting for the witch to tell the way to open the gem.

The witch looked at Zhong Rong again, her eyes were astonishingly bright, and her voice was like gravel soaked in ancient smoke: "The enemy shakes hands with the enemy to make peace, the existence of the non-existent, pursue the original memory, and you will find your answer. "

The wind chime was still, the witch closed her eyes and opened them again, Zhong Rong found that her eyes had turned a plopping green, no longer shining.She smiled at Zhong Rong: "Okay, I look forward to meeting you next time, this divination ends here."

Before Zhong Rong could figure out what this divination meant, he was ordered to expel the guest, and he said in a daze, "Ah?"

[-]'s expression remained unchanged: "You mean we will meet again?"

"Perhaps." The witch's voice was no longer hoarse.After she finished speaking ambiguously, she stretched out her hand and waved it again.Zhong Rong could only smell a cool, unidentifiable fragrance hitting his head and face, and couldn't help but sneezed. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was facing the clanging laser.

"Hmm..." [-] narrowed his eyes, "We were kicked out."

Zhong Rong blinked and blinked: "Indeed."

"Then let's go." Without changing his expression, Nine threw out the motorcycle and let it grow bigger to stand on the side of the road. "Let's go to the top floor and think about what this divination means."

Zhong Rong took out his skateboard and forcibly pushed aside his messy thoughts: "Don't you need to go offline today?"

"The night view on the top floor of Feishu is also very beautiful." Jiu got on the motorcycle, "I want to see it after a long time."

Zhong Rong put on the goggles, followed the speeding motorcycle, and rushed towards the towering building.
