Chapter 18 Mystery in the Fog (1)(1/2)
After three days of paid rest, a new task was assigned.
[Spirit Chaser Long Qisheng, please arrive at the dome exit of Changping Road, Fengli Street at 10:30 am on September 17th, and meet up with your teammates Wu Hou and Tang Ying. Please follow the command of captain Wu Hou during the mission.
】
[Task content: Investigate the contaminated area "Dafeng Village" and eliminate the invading virtual spirits. (The captain will inform you of the details)]
[Task subsidy: 30,000 Xuanqing coins, 30 meritorious service. (Death compensation 200,000 Xuanqing coins)]
Tang Ying learned the lesson from last time and went out early this time, arriving before Long Qisheng. When Long Qisheng arrived at the meeting point, Wu Hou was eating the hot buns brought by Tang Ying.
"Long Qisheng!"
Seeing Long Qisheng, Tang Ying was very happy and gave him a bag of steamed buns: "It's just fresh out of the pot, eat them while they're hot!"
"Thanks!"
Although I have already had breakfast, where can synthetic food have such a natural grain flavor?
Long Qisheng took the bun and ate it, and asked casually: "Captain, the information is confirmed to be correct this time! There won't be another C-level phantom!"
Marquis Wu's chest clapped loudly: "Don't worry, most of the time the intelligence department is still very reliable. How could the mistake like last time be made a second time? I guarantee that I will lead you to complete the mission smoothly this time. If
If another C-level ethereal spirit pops up, I will stand on my head and run naked around the temple!"
Originally, Long Qisheng just casually said, g, but he instantly had a bad premonition...
Tang Ying also covered her eyes suddenly and frowned: "Why did my eyelids start to twitch inexplicably..."
"How about...confirming it with the intelligence department?"
Long Qisheng was really scared, but not every time he would be lucky enough to encounter a monster of his own to save him. If it hadn't been for that monster last time, Long Qisheng would have been beaten to death by his own ability!
Wu Hou waved his hands vigorously and said with a smile: "Why are you so superstitious at such a young age? Believe me, it will be fine this time!"
"It's over, I feel even worse..."
"Me too……"
"What are you mumbling about? Let's go out of the city!"
Wu Hou took Long Qisheng and Tang Ying and walked out of the dome with confidence and headed for Dafeng Village.
On the way, they encountered two attacks by mutated creatures, but Wu Hou solved them with one hand.
The three of them walked quickly and arrived at Dafeng Village not long after.
This village is close to the site of the ancient city wall of Xuanqing City. It should have been a prosperous village before the invasion of the Void World. Every household had a separate courtyard and the small buildings they lived in were exquisite and beautiful.
Now there is only a ruin, and only a glimpse of the former prosperity can be seen from the high-quality broken bricks and tiles.
It was still sunny when we first came out of the dome, but when we got closer to Dafeng Village, the sky turned cloudy and the temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees. In September, there was even a hint of cold fog.
"This is the influence of the ethereal world. Some special laws in the node affect the external environment." Wu Hou explained this anomaly.
"Then, Captain, is this related to the ability of the virtual spirit?"
"The rules of the ethereal world have nothing to do with ethereal spirits. The ethereal spirits responsible for invading nodes are generally subordinates of the corresponding 'lords'. The ones sent from such low-pollution areas are basically E-level ethereal spirits. Occasionally, there are
It’s a high level, but it will never exceed C level.”
"Void spirits above level C are considered 'nobles' and will not do such hard work."
"I see... Captain, how should we judge the ability of the virtual spirit? After all, it is easy to suffer losses if you don't know the ability."
Wu Hou raised his fist: "In the face of absolute power, all abilities are useless! Watch me blast that ethereal hammer to you for fun!"
Long Qisheng:......
Tang Ying:......
Is this guy... really reliable...
The three of them walked into this dilapidated and silent village and went deeper.
When passing by a two-story building with more than half of it collapsed, Long Qisheng felt a familiar dissonance. He turned around and saw a broken hexagonal lantern hanging under the eaves in front of the door.
Although only the frame of the lantern is left, it can be seen that when it was intact, it should have been an exquisite revolving lantern.
Five of the six sides of the lampshade are missing, and there is a big hole in the remaining side. The remaining part is covered with dirt, and it is no longer clear what is painted on it.
This thing should be the medium.
Long Qisheng stopped and took note of its appearance carefully. He swore in his heart that he would not touch anything similar to it even if he saw it in the virtual world!
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that Long Qisheng had stopped, Wu Hou and Tang Ying also stopped.
Long Qisheng pointed to the lantern: "Captain, we have discovered something! This lantern may be a medium!"
"What?"
Wu Hou walked to the lantern, stretched his neck and sniffed hard: "It seems that it really smells like the ethereal world!"
Long Qisheng and Tang Ying were both confused. Is this a dog nose?!
But even dogs can’t smell the media!
Otherwise, what kind of special equipment is needed? Wouldn’t it be enough if one person brings a dog?
"Captain, why don't we test it with an instrument?" Tang Ying suggested.
"It has to go through a process." Wu Hou took out the instrument and tested it, then nodded: "It is indeed a medium."
Then he looked at Long Qisheng and said, "You recognized the medium at a glance in the last mission, right? Since you can tell the difference, just say yes next time. It would be a waste of time to test again."
"Uh...okay..."
"Okay, come on, catch me and get ready to enter the ethereal world!"
Long Qisheng and Tang Ying grabbed Wuhou from the left and right, and Wuhou touched the hexagonal lantern. In an instant, the three figures disappeared into the mist...
…
fog.
Heavy fog.
Humid and cold.
Long Qisheng opened his eyes, and there was an uncontrollable confusion in his eyes.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I going to do?
After being stunned for a few seconds, he subconsciously turned around and looked around, and found that there were two people around him.
A girl with chestnut hair, wearing a uniform similar to a combat uniform, and another sturdy man, wearing a vest and breeches, with a tiger's head and a swallow's jaw, looking awe-inspiring.
When Long Qisheng looked at them, they also looked at Long Qisheng.
Tang Ying raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Why are you wearing the same clothes as me?"
Long Qisheng looked at the heavy fog around him, then looked at the two people's identical outfits and backpacks, and said, "It's not important who I am. What's important is, do you still remember who you are?"
Tang Ying was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
At this time, Wu Hou concluded: "We must have encountered something here and temporarily lost our memory."
Long Qisheng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I think so too."
"Why is it temporary?" Tang Ying discovered Hua Dian.
Long Qisheng and Wu Hou looked at each other, took out the revolver from his waist, deftly removed the bullet and put it back in, then put it back on his waist.
"Whether it is life skills or combat skills, we have not forgotten them, so our memories are not actually lost, but temporarily forgotten and sealed deep in our memories. As long as we receive appropriate stimulation, we will slowly recall them.
."
"I see..." Tang Ying looked at Long Qisheng and then at Wu Hou: "Then what is the relationship between the three of us? This little brother and I are wearing the same military uniform-like clothes, and the equipment is exactly the same, which means that we may be
Soldiers in the same army are comrades-in-arms, but this uncle..."
She glanced at Wu Hou, shrank her neck, and whispered: "Looks like a fierce bandit..."
Long Qisheng nodded seriously: "Your analysis makes sense. Since we are in the wild, it is possible that we are performing a certain task, such as escorting this uncle to a certain place."
Wuhou suddenly became unhappy.
"Don't just accuse me so casually, okay?! You say I'm a criminal, do you have any evidence?!"
Long Qisheng pointed at the two gold custom-made large-caliber pistols on Wu Hou's body: "This is obviously not standard equipment, so you are not a soldier. Law-abiding citizens will not hide arms secretly! You look like a habitual offender!"
Wu Hou was stunned and speechless.
I even have some self-doubt. Am I really a gangster? I am being escorted by the military?
In this case, it is better to...
As he thought about it, Marquis Wu felt jealous and touched the handle of the gun with both hands.
To be continued...
