Krypton Life Game [Unlimited]

Song Ci went back to the room and drew half a picture, Tang Si walked in carrying his clue box.

He put his clue boxes side by side next to the one Song Ci got, "Wang Liang isn't finished yet?"

"Yeah." Song Ci, who couldn't find the pencil sharpener, was sharpening the pencil clumsily with the dagger.

While answering, the sharp blade cut into the pen barrel too deeply because of too much force, directly cutting off half of the pen tip, and the wide blade rushed towards his white thumb uncontrollably, scratching the edge of the nail.

Tang Si, who couldn't stand it anymore, took the dagger and pencil from his hand, for fear that if he was not careful, he would cut off his fingers along with the tip of the pen.

"Its blade is too wide, it's hard to control." Song Ci defended himself embarrassingly.

However, the dagger that swung left and right in his hand like a mad dog, was in Tang Si's hand like a docile little white rabbit, and finished the work in two or three strokes.

Song Ci: ……………

Tang Si handed back the sharpened pen to Song Ci, and habitually pulled out a piece of paper to wipe the dagger, "On the way back, I checked the oil paintings in half of the corridor, but I didn't find anyone wearing amethyst and emerald necklaces. child."

"I also looked at it when I came back, and it's true..." Song Ci was about to continue drawing the remaining half of the picture, but the tip of the pen suddenly paused, "It seems to be the one I drew!"

Tang Si, who was wiping the dagger, immediately walked around the desk and stepped to Song Ci's side.

Although Song Ci only outlined the outline of the boy's body carrying the lantern, it was enough for Tang Si to recall the content of the painting.

The painting that Song Ci was painting was placed on the ground in the studio. The picture showed two children of similar ages, carrying a lantern and walking through the rose bushes at night.

On the left is a younger boy, and on the right is a slightly older girl leading the way. The dim light illuminates the cheeks of the two, and the necklace on the neck is faintly visible.

"The necklace on the boy's neck is an emerald pendant, and the necklace on the girl's neck is an amethyst." Song Ci recalled carefully, "but there is no name on the painting."

Song Ci carefully examined each painting with a flashlight, including the back.It is a pity that the painting has not been framed yet, and he did not find the name of the painting at that time.This also means that this thread is likely to be broken again.

Tang Si lowered his eyelids, staring at the outline of the draft sketched by Song Ci, "Tell me, could it be that we have gone in the wrong direction, and the focus of the painting is not on the name?"

"You mean, the real clue may be in the content of the painting, which we have overlooked?"

"It's possible."

Song Ci went through the details of the two paintings again in her mind, and the dimples on her cheeks bulged depressedly, "I still can't find it."

"Don't worry, maybe we didn't make a breakthrough because we haven't found the real key part, and we need more clues." Tang Si returned the cleaned dagger to Song Ci.

"Otherwise, let's change our minds, let's look at today's clues first?" Song Ci put down the pencil, and retracted the dagger into his light screen.I always think about these two paintings, and my mind is froze. If I put it away and look back, maybe there will be new gains.

"It's not yet twelve o'clock, so I can't go find the parrot." Tang Si opened the two boxes and looked at them. Inside were also golden melon seeds. Adding the two boxes together, there were thirty in total.

"You also have a parrot over there?" Song Ci asked curiously.

"Really?" Tang Si raised his eyebrows, "At the end of the game, the judge reminded us that we can use the things in the box to find a white parrot in the 'Yueyue' hall to tell a story."

Song Ci: ……………

So, he was the only one who was harmed by that broken parrot.

[You can now pack up and take the golden melon seeds in your hands and prepare to go out. ] Nearly twelve o'clock, when the painting in Song Ci's hand was almost finished, Wang Liang sent a message.

[It's over on your side? 】

Song Ci, who was immersed in painting, finally realized that Wang Liang never came back.

[How could it be over, I'm helping everyone line up! 】Wang Liang took it for granted.

queue?Song Ci and Tang Si looked at each other silently, but they didn't understand. What line are they in?

[? ] Tang Si silently sent out a question mark.

[Is this common sense?Are you two young masters who don't eat fireworks?Even if all four groups are won by werewolves, at least 16 people will go to the Yueyue Hall to ask questions. If you don’t line up in advance, do you want to wait until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow? 】

Song Ci & Tang Si: ……………

They really didn't think about it at all.

It turned out that, except for the two of them, most people thought of this question.When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, there was already a long queue.

Wang Liang stood in the second position at the front of the team.Yuanjia Road was narrow, and the one standing in front of her was actually the one in the dark blue robe among the three business men back then.

Wang Liang turned sideways, almost with his back to his back, looking disgusted at each other.

"This way." Seeing the two of them, Wang Liang quickly waved.

"Does this count as jumping in line?" Song Ci looked back at the line behind him.

"Don't worry, I asked earlier." Wang Liang pointed to the maid guarding the door, "Group members can enter together. However, it is not entirely related to queuing to enter, and five groups have to bid together. "

"Bid?"

"It's the groups in the top five of us. We'll put the golden melon seeds on the plate later. Whichever group the parrot-lord likes the most will advance. The next round will be the rest. The top five groups among the people will continue to bid." When Wang Liang was queuing up, she had already inquired about the rules clearly.

Tang Si frowned, "How do you guess the number that the parrot likes?"

"I seem to know about it." Song Ci looked at the closed door. He liked a ghost. Based on the parrot's character of being greedy for money and denying people, the answer must be as much as possible.What likes the number, it just wants the highest bidder!

"You know that too?" Wang Liang looked at Song Ci in disbelief.

Song Ci lowered his voice and told them about the performance of the parrot prophet before.

"So, we just need to put all of them up?" Wang Liang came to her senses.In the past, the clues in each game were repeated, so their treasure chests have always been in excess of demand, but this time, they can finally get some benefits by forming a team.There are 45 golden melon seeds in the hands of the three of them.

I just don't know how many people are left on the business man's side. At present, I only know that a wine red round neck robe from Song Ci's group has been eliminated.

When it was about to twelve o'clock, there was another man in a white polka-dot suit next to the business man in a dark blue robe.Seeing him, the business man immediately nodded and bowed, and took the man to the front with a pug look.

Wang Jing curled her lips, guessing that this is the leader they were looking for at the beginning.

Seeing that the other two business men didn't show up, Song Ci knew that their bidding had stabilized.After all, the two treasure chests can only contain thirty golden melon seeds at most.

As he expected, five minutes later, the first group of three of them entered the Moon Invitation Hall.

The semi-circular long table in the hall is gone, replaced by four single sofas that look extremely comfortable, and the arc-shaped stand around the parrot has an inexplicable atmosphere of a small theater.

The cockatoo from before just happened to be standing on the shelf leisurely, staring at them with black bean-like eyes, "Welcome, be careful not to be deceived."

Song Ci: ……………

If there is a liar here, it can only be you, okay?

The three of them sat down on the sofa one by one.Song Ci noticed that the white porcelain jar where the parrot put the melon seeds was emptied, and there was an extra jug over there.

The maid brought a black cardboard 'programme' on a tray, imitating the format of a menu, with the names of the stories listed on the front, and the price of each story corresponding to the back.

Once upon a time there was a mountain -------- 10 golden melon seeds

Once upon a time there was a fish------------14 golden melon seeds

Once upon a time there was a flower ----------- 10 golden melon seeds

Once upon a time there was a wolf ----------- 9 golden melon seeds

Once upon a time there was a man ----------- 14 golden melon seeds

"So we can choose three to listen to. How about each person choosing one?" Wang Liang originally thought that she could only hear one story, but now it seems that she can listen to three, and she feels that she has earned a lot.

"Which story do you want to hear first?" The cockatoo on the shelf shook its head leisurely.

"Once upon a time there was a fish." Tang Si said decisively.

From the legend of the earl's curse, to the painting they saw in the studio, they all seem to be inextricably linked to the mermaid.

The parrot slowly pecked fourteen of the golden melon seeds they bid for and put them into its own white porcelain pot. Wang Liang was surprised to see it, "It can count?"

Song Ci: ……………

Not only can it count, it can also verify the true and false gold.

"Ma'am, are you racist?" The cluster of yellow crest feathers on the back of the parrot's head exploded instantly.

"No, no, I'm sorry, I just haven't seen the world, it's so rare." Wang Liang quickly apologized when she saw that she had offended the parrot.Anyway, this is also an NPC, as a player, she dare not offend.

The parrot seemed to be quite satisfied with the answer, and the pinch of exploded crest feathers slowly retracted.

Only then did Wang Liang heave a sigh of relief.

The parrot went to the water tank to drink a few sips of water, and finally said, "For a long time, there have been legends about mermaids living in the depths of the ocean on this continent. Everyone, if you mention mermaids, what do you think of?"

The black bean-like eyes of the parrot looked at Song Ci.

Song Ci didn't expect this to be an interactive story, so she blinked her eyes twice, "Half-man, half-fish, beautiful, with a beautiful singing voice?"

The bedtime story told by Secretary Marcel in the sleeping treasure is still fresh in Song Ci's memory.He originally thought that he would also take the route of surprise and surprise this time, but he didn't expect it to be an interactive question.

The parrot turned to Wang Liang again.

"Kindhearted?" Wang Liang racked her brains and finally came up with another word.

The parrot shook its head, and seemed quite disappointed with the two of them, "It's immortality and talent."

talent?

The three people on the sofa showed puzzled looks.

"It is said that the mermaids are the descendants of the god of the sea and have the blood of the demigod, so they can remain young forever. Their scales are like steel armor, invulnerable to swords and guns, and their appearance is also inherited from the god of the sea, so they are unparalleled in the world. If you can catch the mermaid , drink a cup of their blood, you can get a certain talent bestowed by the God of the Sea, and eat a piece of mermaid meat, you will live forever."

Wang Jing rubbed her forehead, "The last time I heard 'Eat a bite of meat and live forever' was ten years ago when I was watching Journey to the West during the summer vacation."

The parrot ignored her and continued, "100 years ago, there was a princess named Sasha in the mermaid tribe. She yearned for life in the human world, and often wandered by the coast for a long time and looked at the land. One day, she was in the moonlight. The coast near the castle is missing. For a hundred years, the mermaids have searched everywhere, but there is no news of her. So far, the mermaids are still praying for their princess to return safely."

The parrot put the tip of its wings on its chest like a curtain call, ending its first story.

Song Ci and the others came here to find clues, so they didn't have high expectations for the storyline.

Tang Si frowned, so this legend points to the fact that the Mermaid Princess was captured by Earl Moonlight's clan?This is in line with the information they received earlier that 'because they offended the mermaid family, the Earl's family was cursed with a short life'.

"Once upon a time there was a man." Wang Liang quickly selected the second story.

The parrot pecked away 13 golden melon seeds, and said again, "Do you know who is the strictest person in Moonlight Castle?"

Seeing the parrot looking at her, Wang Liang took the initiative to say this time, "Earl?"

"The most severe person in Moonlight Castle is not the Earl, but Mr. Steward."

Wang Liang: ……………

But what she wants to know is the news of the Earl.

"What Mr. Housekeeper hates the most are those maids who are lazy at work and spread gossip. Once found, they will be punished to work as coolies on the top floor.

However, there are still several legends circulating in Moonlight Castle for a long time.

The first one is about curses.As we all know, none of the Earl's family can live beyond 40 years old.Legend has it that it was the retribution for the ancestors of the earl family to kill the mermaid princess.But few people know that the ancestor of the earl family was once the most famous witch on this continent.Therefore, regarding the curse, there is another theory, that is backlash, which is the backlash that the earl's ancestors suffered when they forcibly used some kind of taboo technique against the will of the gods.

The second is haunted. Every fifteenth full moon night, the castle will be haunted.Some say it was the evil spirit that came down from the hill next to the castle.Some people also said that it was a water ghost, the ghost of the mermaid who was killed by the earl's ancestors.Wherever it walks, it will become wet.

The third concerns the Earl's temper.Earl Moonlight's temper is very strange, just like the tide, rising and falling with time.At the beginning and end of each month, the Earl is the gentle and elegant Earl, but in the middle of the month, the Earl becomes fierce and irritable. Last month, he even almost killed a man who was close to him by mistake in his rage. maid. "

The moon is full, the month is in the middle, and the second and third articles actually talk about NO.15 of each month.Song Ci, who was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, tapped her cheek lightly with her fingertips. According to the schedule, the day of their finals was also No.15.

It seems that this is definitely not a coincidence.

But carefully selected days.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain", "Once upon a time there was a flower", "Once upon a time there was a wolf", Song Ci cautiously looked at the remaining three stories on the card. He guessed that the story of "flower" should be related to the story of the rose bush. In view of the fact that they have already found something related to the other bones, he first ruled out this one. As for the remaining 'wolf' and 'mountain', he hesitated for a long time between the two, and finally chose ' Once upon a time there was a mountain. '

According to the price, news that sells more expensive should be more valuable, right?

The parrot pecked away ten golden melon seeds without haste, and said solemnly, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple in the mountain, and there was a tree in the temple."

have a tree?Song Ci and Wang Liang looked at the parrot speechlessly, feeling something was wrong.

"There were two beautiful parrots living in the tree. The big parrot said to the little parrot, 'Go out and tell stories to human beings to cheat some melon seeds.' The little parrot said, 'Yes!'"

"O~VER~" The parrot flapped its wings and spit out an English word in a correct voice, announcing the end of this clue.

That's it? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Song Ci, who realized that she had been cheated, couldn't help being flustered and stunned.

There are trap questions in the story!It turned out that when they entered the door, that's what the parrot meant when they said "be careful of being deceived"!

The author has something to say: Parrot: This prophet is an upright liar. ╮(╯3╰)╭
