Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

In the gloomy dungeon, in the darkness where one cannot see anything, one can only see the outlines of human heads, floating in front of his eyes.

At this time, Chen Ye's mind absorbed the memory of the man in the peaked hat and read information about the underground world.

Walking along the dark tunnel and passing through several forks, I met several thug players on the way and got the password.

"what is one thousand minus seven?"

"Go to hell!"

The secret code of this organization is really weird...

Ask a math question, and the next sentence is to send someone to hell!

It’s really hard for ordinary players to keep up with the brain circuitry.

Immediately afterwards.

The man in the peaked cap entered a dark underground market.

There is no light source here, and only sparse footsteps can be heard from all around.

At this moment, the man in the peaked hat reported a number:

"Two four seven seven!"

Suddenly, a dark will-o'-the-wisp rose up in front of him.

Directly in front of the field of vision, a face without facial features appeared!

He wore a half-top hat, with the brim covering his forehead and eyes. There was no nose or mouth underneath, but he had two splayed goatees that extended to both sides of his cheeks.

If you look closely, you can see that there is no body under the neck, only a head wearing a top hat, hanging in the air, following the swaying will-o'-the-wisp, floating in a certain direction, as if leading the way.

With the help of weak light, the will-o'-the-wisp illuminated a pavilion, which contained a variety of firearms, firearms, and iron detonators and explosives.

The man in the peaked cap bought his double-barreled shotgun here!

In the blurry memory screen, you can vaguely see that the two people seemed to have communicated something and reached some kind of agreement...

In the end, for the price of one gold coin, the man in the peaked hat obtained a double-barreled shotgun from the stall owner in front of him.

As the dim will-o'-the-wisp moved upward, it illuminated the stall owner's face.

Chen Ye saw the stall owner's appearance clearly and almost exclaimed.

"clown?"

Yes, the stall owner who traded the double-barreled shotgun with the man in the cap was wearing a clown mask.

The smile on the mask was full of weirdness, like a smile cut open by two pairs of scissors.

Appears on the face with exaggerated amplitude.

This smile cannot bring any sense of comfort to people, but instead looks very scary.

The memory screen ends here.

The spirit body of the man in the peaked cap suddenly turned into powder and disappeared.

Forcibly reading the soul memory will cause great damage to the soul lingering on this shore. It will not last long before it will be completely annihilated.

This kind of soul cannot even enter the other side and will disappear completely.

Therefore, the lethality is very large!

Generally speaking, when reading soul memories in this way, only certain fragments of them can be viewed.

It is not possible to read a lifetime of memories.

Just these pictures will naturally not have any impact on Chen Ye's consciousness, just like watching a movie.

But he can get valuable information from the footage.

Chen Ye stopped where he was, pondered for a moment, looked at the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and analyzed secretly:

"It turns out that the clown is a thing from the underworld!"

"Since the Holy Light bombing, the clown has disappeared from the paradise and moved to the underground world!"

"Or……"

"They are originally from the underground world."

That day, the Lieyang Church was bombed. Among them, the clown used these firearms to blow up the church and move out all the holy relics inside.

The double-barreled shotgun in the man's hand is obviously derived from the clown.

But... what on earth is this shotgun? Is it a relic?

At this moment, the bloody text gave another hint——

[Items from the future are a bit interesting. Destiny actually preempted products that should not have appeared in this time period? 】

"future?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Relics obviously refer to products of the old era.

But are these double-barreled shotguns and firearms from the future?

It seems like there are a lot of secrets hidden in this underground world!

Chen Ye glanced at the man in the peaked hat on the ground, put the body into the mountain scroll, and planned to find a place to dispose of it.

Then, he picked up the peaked cap on the ground, and his face squirmed and changed into his appearance.

According to the memory pictures, this underground market seems to be only conducted by internal customers.

Probably……

The clown reached a certain contract with the thugs, thus forming an alliance.

He had just killed several thugs' subordinates. The last time he was in the Scarlet Building, he had a head-on conflict with the Joker. Both of them were enemies.

Nowadays, entering the underground market means entering the enemy's chassis, which is no different from going deep into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.

To be on the safe side, just change the face of an internal member, and the security of entering will be greatly improved.

The face of the man in the peaked cap is a ready reference.

Along with Chen Ye's face, it seemed like there were huge insects crawling inside, sometimes bulging, sometimes concave...

It didn't take long.

His appearance has become exactly the same as that of the man in the peaked hat.

After touching his face and rubbing his face, he made sure that it looked exactly like the man in the peaked hat. Then he felt relieved and walked into the deep cave in the middle.

There were rustling footsteps from ahead.

The deep underground world suddenly became noisy from the original dead silence.

With Chen Ye's keen hearing and concentrated spiritual power, he could hear the subtle sounds of communication, echoing in the depths.

It seems to be bargaining...

Others are asking if there are any other products...

Selling food, drinks, and supplies...

There are also some taboo items with weird nouns, as well as slang that is incomprehensible. If you pick out each word individually, you can still understand it, but when combined into a complete sentence, it is like an alien language, which is difficult to understand. Understand what exactly you want to express.

"Underground market, are you there yet?" Chen Ye paused next to a red notice board.

In the dark field of vision, the blood-colored writing emitted a faint light, showing the rules above——

[Underground market rules:]

[1. This area is a "lightless place", please do not light any light source here;]

[2. The underground market will only accept old customers for the time being. New customers please establish quotas through referrals, introductions, etc.;]

[3. Wandering is prohibited here. When entering the market, please take the initiative to report the stall number you need to go to, and follow the automatic light source to go to the corresponding stall. 】

[4. The supply of goods in this market is scarce. Compared with the ordinary market price, there will be a large price deviation, which is normal. 】

Observing from the [Wanderer Map], it was clear that after passing the blood-colored signboard, there was an open square that resembled a cave.

However, in the parchment, there is a chaotic area ahead.

This means that the "Lightless Land" and the underground world are not completely connected. In a sense, they are considered another area.

You need to enter to unlock new maps.

Looking at it with the eyes of luck, it is filled with colorful brilliance, and stars of various colors are dotted around, making it as prosperous as the starry sky.

Of course, there is also a faint glow of blood lingering nearby, indicating danger.

But this bloody light did not target Chen Ye himself. He confirmed that he had room to explore, took a deep breath, and then entered the underground market.

The moment Chen Ye stepped into the underground market...

Suddenly, several strange eyes jumped around Chen Ye, surrounding his head and rotating 360 degrees...

The strange eye bloomed with a red light, as if it was scanning and making some kind of confirmation.

Chen Ye stood calmly and did not panic.

He knew that these strange eyes were performing an operation similar to facial scanning on him.

Use this to confirm whether you are an old customer.

However, Chen Ye's face now turned into that of the man in the peaked hat.

Since he had traded firearms at the clown's stall, he was certainly an old customer.

After a while...

These strange eyes circled around, seemingly confirming Chen Ye's identity, and then quickly retreated.

"Fortunately, these strange eyes can only recognize faces, but they cannot scan body bones..."

"Otherwise the secret will be exposed!"

Chen Ye looked at this young man's body, but he had a mature, middle-aged face. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed incongruous.

It seems that what is being tested is some kind of weird story tied to the underground market.

If it were a player familiar to the man in the peaked hat, he would be betrayed in a minute!

Fortunately, as a "lightless place", only a few people in the underground market can gain perspective from here.

Buzz!

At this moment, the parchment in Chen Ye's mind burst out with a golden glow again!

When Chen Ye came here, the underground market area was actually lit up!

This is a semicircular arc of wide space. If you concentrate your thoughts and zoom in on the map, you can see bloody numbers dotted everywhere like stars. It is similar to Yongan Market, from the sequence "one" to the sequence "three one one one"...

However, the serial numbers in the underground market are completely chaotic and not as regular as the Yongan Market.

His mind moved, he communicated with the mice, and suddenly saw a restaurant with fresh braised pork hanging on it, and kitchen utensils on the stall. The chef cut the braised pork with exquisite knife skills and put it in a bowl. The small noodles were handed to the customers at the table next to them.

The corresponding serial number happens to be "two, three, three".

"Guest, where are you going?"

In the darkness, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Ye. His voice was only heard but not his shadow.

Chen Ye knew that he was the manager of the underground market and was not allowed to wander around. Seeing that he had stopped for too long, he took the initiative to ask questions.

"Go to 233." Chen Ye directly reported a number, planning to go to the shop selling braised pork first, meet up with the mouse, and then check out where to go next.

He did not rush to "2477" because the clown had done business with the man in the peaked hat. It was likely that the two parties were familiar with each other. If the clown belonged to this underground market and could not hide his identity, leading to gang involvement, he would probably bring him with him. to unnecessary danger.

In contrast, restaurants in underground markets should be relatively neutral areas.

Go there and order some food first, it will be less likely to detect anything unusual.

soon……

In front of Chen Ye, a deep will-o'-the-wisp bloomed, flickering, leading the way ahead.

He followed the will-o'-the-wisp and walked through it.

However, this will-o'-the-wisp light source is very illusory. It cannot illuminate the surrounding scenery. It seems to just appear in front of Chen Ye to guide him.

In the darkness, you can clearly hear the sounds of conversations coming from the stalls next to you.

But this dark flame cannot illuminate any trace of the existence of any object...

It was like the conversation came from another world, giving people an eerie feeling.

finally.

The will-o'-the-wisp passed through several areas and slowly illuminated the outline of a restaurant.

At this time.

Chen Ye's mind moved. He saw this shop, and there was a glaze halo connecting him.

The next second, a prompt with red text appeared in front of him——

[Detection of a copy of the game appearing nearby...]
