Chapter 143 Relevant departments
Jiulu tugged at the corner of Bai Ming's clothes curiously, and pointed with his other little finger at the row of apartment doors behind him that had become very ordinary. His big eyes were full of confusion: "Mimi, why, why is that big, shiny one with so many people there? The place to play games is gone? Is it like this? "
Bai Ming felt an invisible headache when he heard the name.
It's not that he didn't correct it, but the effect was very little. This little girl seemed to have identified "Mimi".
Forget it, he sighed inwardly, the name is just a code name after all.
There is no point in worrying about this in a copy full of dangers.
Bai Ming tried his best to explain in simple and easy-to-understand words: "That shiny place is like a - well, a very big magic bubble."
He gestured with his hand: "Now that the magic time is up, the bubble pops and hides, so we can't see it, and it becomes these ordinary doors. It's like hide-and-seek, understand?"
Jiulu She nodded in understanding, her little face was still a little confused, but the words "magic bubbles" and "hide and seek" obviously made her accept this magical change: "Oh, it's hidden."
Bai Ming nodded: "Yes, the uncle who just talked to us is a participant in this hide and seek. Next time we find a random place, we can catch him."
[Mo Yingqi Miao] on the side saw Bai Ming comforting Jiulu and immediately asked: "Boss, where should we go next?
, Bai Ming glanced at the corridor: "It's very simple, let's find those players."
[Mo Yingqi Miao] was a little surprised: "Why don't we first find other NPCs and put them in the casino? With our strength, this is not possible It's a difficult thing. "
Bai Ming shook his head: "Don't worry, it's more efficient to find other players and integrate the information."
In a slightly messy apartment room, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and a depressing atmosphere.
On the floor, there are two corpses lying on the ground. The wounds are fatal and they can be killed in one hit. There are silver collars around their necks. They are obviously the aborigines in this copy.
Four players who had recovered from cat bodies gathered in a relatively clean corner of the room. Each of them looked unhappy, with a hint of exclamation and a hint of exhaustion.
"So, to sum up," a male player who wore glasses and looked calmer pushed up his glasses, his voice was a little hoarse, "After we entered the dungeon, we all turned into cats, and were with a human without a collar, or a breeder."
"Then soon someone broke in with torn clothes, with a clear goal, to kill the breeder and arrest us."
A woman wearing sportswear with bruises on her arms said with a fearful tone: "Yes, I tried my best to stop them, but I couldn't beat those black clothes - the speed was too fast."
"After the breeder was killed, I lost the ability to speak, and was then locked in a cage and treated as a cat" and was bought by residents wearing collars.
Another thin man hugged his knees and said in a low voice: "The family that bought me looks normal, but it always feels weird."
"They seemed to have completely forgotten that I was a bought cat." It must be that I am a distant relative of their family. I slipped out when they were not paying attention. 「
A strong man with a slightly grumpy temper couldn't help but growl and hit the ground with his fist: "Damn it! What the hell is this place! Even if it turns into a cat, it is almost kept as a pet! Are those who wear collars sick?"
"Calm down, the house you bought from is a bit perverted and treats it like a cat."
The man with glasses stopped him. He asked him, and then continued: "It's useless to complain. The key now is to understand the situation."
"First, why do we become cats?"
"Second, what do "cats" and "kind" represent?"
"Third, what are those residents wearing silver collars?"
"Fourth, what are those cats that have lost their collars and turned into cats like us and were sold in the cat market. They are obviously aboriginals?"
"Fifth, what is the secret of this apartment? This is what the main mission requires us to find."
The woman in sportswear added: "And sixth, what are those people in black called managers?"
"Why do they have to kill the breeders without collars, and then why do these humans who have breeders without collars buy a "cat" like us?
"Then you turn us into humans and adopt us or treat us as relatives?"
"Is this a cycle? Cats like us with black collars" live with a breeder without a collar, or it should be a silver collar first."
"It became a black collar after we arrived. At this time, the collarless cat has no value as a free resident breeder."
"That's why they were killed, and we were captured. "
"Then we humans without collars are the new breeders, and soon a group of cats with silver collars are sent in by the buyers, allowing us to act as new breeders and repeat the previous cycle."
The strong man cursed after hearing this: "I have killed those buyers, where are you going to send a cat with a silver collar?"
The thin man raised his head and said worriedly: "The most important thing is that we have recovered our bodies now, but what should we do next? There must be dangers outside. How can we complete the task and leave this hellish place?"
A few people fell into a brief silence.
It was indeed dangerous. When they went out alone, they encountered resistance from buyers.
Some players have killed buyers, such as strong men.
Some players are afraid of losing key clues and do not kill the buyer.
But in any case, it took a lot of energy to escape. As soon as they walked into the corridor, they were like flowers attracting bees and butterflies, receiving warm hospitality from the residents of the apartment.
Although the residents' strength was limited, there were too many people, or too many ghosts. They were not only exhausted but also injured during the escape.
But even so, only four players gathered.
It is estimated that some players have noticed the movement, but they are probably hiding it and do not want to risk gathering together.
Secret?
What is the secret of the apartment?
What is the secret in the apartment that can be cleared?
There are so many pieces of information that it is impossible to piece together the whole picture, and the players feel that their brains are about to explode.
The man with glasses finally said: "The top priority is that we must get more clues. First, we must find the administrator's residence. Secondly, we must look for cats wearing silver collars. Thirdly, we need to find a way to communicate with NPCs who have also turned into cats but are obviously aborigines."
"As for other players, Come if you want, forget it if you don't. The four of us join forces and be careful, we may not be able to get this copy.
The woman in sportswear nodded: "I agree, it's too dangerous to act alone. We——." Before she could finish her words, everyone suddenly stopped and turned to look towards the door.
Outside the corridor, there were faint sounds of more than one approaching footsteps!
That's not all. There are many people in the apartment, and some residents pass by in the corridor from time to time.
But with the player's keen perception, they can find that the footsteps are coming towards their house.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely tense.
The players almost instinctively grabbed the various weapons they had just taken out of the [backpack], stared nervously at the weak wooden door, held their breath, and prepared for a possible fierce battle.
However, the expected break-in did not happen.
Boom, boom, boom!
Several brisk and slow knocks on the door broke the dead silence in the house.
Immediately afterwards, a calm, even lazily male voice came from outside the door: "Friends inside, it seems that you are in some trouble? Can you open the door and chat? We have some information about cats and collars, maybe we can exchange them."
The four players in the room looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Do you know they are here?
Also mentioned cats and collars directly?
It should be a player, right?
But whether it is an "enemy" or a "friend" has not yet been determined.
The man with glasses took a deep breath and winked at the strong man.
The strong man grasped the machete tightly, moved it carefully to the side, and shouted in a low voice: "Who!"
There was silence outside the door for a second, and then the male voice spoke again, his tone still calm: "Like you, I almost became a pet cat. In addition, I suggest you not to be too nervous. If we want to move, we won't knock on the door."
The strong man looked out through the peephole and saw three people standing outside the door.
A dark-haired young man with a tall figure, a relaxed expression, and wearing silver-rimmed glasses.
A young woman who looked helpless but extremely calm.
And a little girl looking around curiously.
Especially the black-haired young man, although he did nothing and just stood there casually, he gave people a very relaxed feeling, which was in sharp contrast to the embarrassment and exhaustion of these people.
The strong man hesitated and looked back at the man with glasses.
The man in glasses pondered for a moment and nodded. The other party at least showed a willingness to communicate and seemed to have important information.
The door was slowly opened.
Bai Ming, who was outside the door, looked at the four players in the room as if facing a formidable enemy, as well as the corpses on the ground. He just smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that your place is quite lively."
He took [Mo Ying Qi Miao] and Jiulu into the room as naturally as if taking a walk, which was incompatible with the tense and depressing atmosphere in the room.
The man with glasses stepped forward as a representative and spoke cautiously: "Are you players? How did you find this place?"
Bai Ming smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at the others: "Why don't we get to know each other first? Show us your ID. The basis of cooperation is trust, isn't it?"
[Mo Ying Qi Miao] was the first to show his player ID, [Mo Ying Qi Miao: LV11].
LV12].
The other three people in the room looked at each other and showed their IDs one after another.
The man with glasses is [Eternal General: LV11], the strong man is [Hahaha: LV12], and the thin man is [Yi Ye Qingfeng:
LV12].
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Bai Ming, waiting for his information.
However, Bai Ming just stood there, with that relaxed smile still on his face, without any movement.
[Hahaha]'s brows suddenly knitted together, and his words became unkind: "Hey! Where's yours? Where's the trust you promised?"
Bai Ming said calmly: "When did I say that I would show my ID? I just suggested that you show your ID. It is not convenient to disclose my identity for the time being."
These words instantly made the atmosphere tense.
[Hahaha] took a step forward suddenly, holding the machete in front of him, and said angrily: "You are kidding us? You are hiding your head and tail, who knows if you are one of the administrators in disguise!"
[Qianguyijiang] also pushed up his glasses, and a sharp light flashed behind the lenses: "Friend, we have fulfilled your request, but you have retained the most critical information."
It is difficult to convince us of your sincerity. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue to "exchange" information."
[Feather of the Gale] and [One Leaf of Breeze] also silently moved their positions, forming a faint encirclement.
[Feather of the Gale] said: "[Mo Ying Qi Miao] I recognize you. You are a recently emerged A-level player in [Mo Ying Shanhe]. It is said that you were discovered by [Mo Ying Shanhe] before you became a player." ”
“I think you are smart and should understand the current situation. We need a reasonable explanation.”
Yes, the players do not want to fight.
Because in the dungeon, most of the battles between players are meaningless.
In addition to consuming one's own thoughts, it is just a battle of spirits.
So, if you can persuade, then persuade; if you can, don't fight, then don't fight.
Of course, even if you don’t fight, you still have to have an attitude.
You can never let your opponent underestimate your side and thus be at a disadvantage in negotiations and cooperation.
[Mo Ying Qi Miao] glanced at Bai Ming, but saw that he was still calm and composed, so he suppressed his voice and said nothing.
She is just a little follower behind Big Boss Mimi.
It is not her turn to make any decisions.
Bai Ming seemed not to feel the tension around him. Instead, he walked to a relatively clean chair and sat down. Even Jiulu, who had gone through various battles and became numb—
In other words, he became curious and turned to another strange direction. Jiulu, who wanted to touch the blood on the ground, pulled him back.
Bai Ming said calmly: "Explanation? Okay."
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light appeared out of thin air above his head.
The light is not dazzling, but it carries an indescribable sense of majesty and heaviness.
The golden light flows and gathers, quickly forming a unique emblem with an elegant structure and flowing cloud patterns on the edge.
In the center of the emblem, there are four vigorous and powerful characters of [Relevant Departments], with the pen moving like a dragon and a snake shining brightly.
It was slightly suspended in the air, exuding an invisible, palpitating sense of oppression.
"Is this enough?"
