"There hasn't been anything particularly impressive in the past twenty years."
Su Qi frowned as he watched Crane thinking hard.
Is there something wrong with the direction he asked? Or should we start from another direction to open up this main quest?
"In fact, there haven't been any big ups and downs in my life. Except for the appearance of zombies and turning into a night demon, I have always been just a humble and invisible person." Clan looked a little sad. "It was precisely because of this that the girl I loved left me."
Su Qi looked at the other person's emo look. He knew that this matter would not go away, so he simply put the main plot aside for the time being and said, "A sad storyline? She fell in love with someone else and ran away? Or did you do something to let her down? I also worked in a matchmaking agency for a while, and this kind of situation is not uncommon."
He wasn't kidding, he really had been there.
Cran put down what he was holding and couldn't help wanting to light a cigarette, but he sighed again: "Actually, none of that. It was one afternoon when she asked me to go hiking. She said she found something very interesting on the top of the mountain. We talked and laughed along the way, and she even kissed me."
"Isn't this a good relationship? How did it get lost?"
"She accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff." Cran said in a sad tone.
Su Qi: “.”
Lost due to physical reasons?
"And then nothing happened. A day later, the zombie crisis broke out and we couldn't even search for her body." Cran finally lit up the cigarette and took a deep puff. "Although so many years have passed and I've let it go, every time I think about it, I wonder how good it would be if I hadn't gone to that mountain."
Su Qi raised his eyebrows:
"The day after she fell, the zombie crisis broke out?"
"Um"
"Do you know what the interesting thing she said is?"
"She liked some strange-shaped rocks very much," Crane recalled. "She said she happened to see a huge red rock at the bottom of a cliff while climbing a mountain. It glowed."
"But I went there later, but I didn't find anything."
Su Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"what happened?"
"I wonder if the system would go through so much trouble to hide the clues in such a refreshing way?"
"I don't understand, but you'd better pay attention to the time. It will be daytime soon." Clan looked at the clock hanging next to him and said, "I will soon become a crazy night demon. I will lock myself up. For safety reasons, you should leave here first."
Su Qi came to the ground after the first ray of sunlight in the early morning faintly shone through the clouds.
He decided to go to the place that Crane mentioned first.
It just so happens that they are fighting on two fronts, and the other teammates should be taking the first path. He is not sure about this one, and it is full of dangers, so Su Qi is happy to do it alone.
After half an hour.
Su Qi came to the top of the mountain, which was some distance away from the city center, and there were very few zombies there.
He looked around and indeed did not see any huge red stones.
Look down the cliff.
This is a very steep and deep ravine with a large amount of wild vegetation growing across it, blocking everything from view.
He tried throwing a stone in there and after a while a deep and distant crash was heard.
“It’s quite high.”
After taking a look and analyzing the various footholds, Su Qi decisively activated the Dark Wind Boots and started moving downwards from the gentler slope on the other side.
It's not like he doesn't have anything on him.
A UV dual-purpose flashlight, a loaded pistol, and a grenade were taken from Crane.
This place is deep and not well lit.
Su Qi shook the flashlight and saw the ground below the steep slope. His eyes moved slightly.
In that dark corner, a [? ] did appear.
Come closer.
The content of 【？】 is revealed.
[It is lying dormant and staring at you]
"?"
Su Qi's eyes focused and he pointed the flashlight directly over there.
Under the cover of that corner, a night demon was lying there, looking at him with scarlet eyes.
Then the next moment, it let out a strange roar and pounced directly on me!
This moment.
Su Qi also saw more information from above the other person's head.
[It is the first zombie infected with the virus, and also the first Night Devil to be born]
It has been here for twenty years.
[It decided not to let that horrible and dangerous thing see the light of day again! ]
Chapter 28 Triggering the Hidden Worldline Mission
Su Qi felt that the Night Demon was very powerful.
But as long as you find the method, killing a night demon is not too difficult.
With the ultraviolet light shining and the sound system turned on, combined with the Dark Wind Boots and the Hundred-Man Killer Knife, the instantaneous burst attribute was increased to 60 points, far exceeding the current level.
Combined with the weaknesses recorded in the little notebook that Cran gave him.
It only took him three rounds to pierce a bloody hole in the chest of the night demon. After it fell to the ground screaming, Su Qi pointed the ultraviolet flashlight at it without hesitation.
It struggled to crawl into the corner, covered its face with its paws, and trembled, actually looking somewhat pitiful.
Su Qi probably knew the other party's identity, and it was very likely the woman mentioned by Crane.
but.
It seemed a little different. Although its eyes were bloodshot and it looked like a completely crazy night demon, it was wearing old clothes that it had mended itself, and there were also signs of fire around it.
"Like Crane, it seems to regain consciousness in the dark?"
Su Qi looked to the other side, where there was a cave entrance. He walked over with a slight move of his eyes. Here he was more certain that this night demon could regain human consciousness. There was a built bed and a table, and even an old notebook.
He picked it up and opened it to look at it. Although it was well preserved, a long time had passed and the paper was mottled and yellowed.
[I originally wanted to record every detail here after finishing it, but I didn't expect to write down something like this.]
[After the fall, I didn’t die immediately, but I was not far from death. I was sure that my thigh bone was broken, and I was bleeding heavily inside and outside. I couldn’t survive at all. But at this time, I saw the red boulder - it was actually not a stone at all, but a huge red flower bud. The fruit it sprayed could actually heal all my injuries. Not only that, I also felt that my body was very strong, and my strength and speed were different from ordinary people.]
[I think I can leave here. Of course, I also take this fruit with me. It is really magical. Maybe it can cure my mother's cancer.]
From here on, there is a page gap, and the handwriting has changed, becoming a little scary and fearful.
[I must have killed someone]
[I returned to the city, my whole body was rotting, my consciousness seemed to be occupied, and I felt terribly thirsty. I only remember that I pounced on a woman and bit her throat, and then... I didn't remember anything.]
[When I returned to this place covered in blood, I regained consciousness, but the fruit was not in my body. Why did I do such a thing? And my body was still changing.]
Su Qi watched all the way down and found that the other party would lose self-awareness as long as it was daytime or too far away from the flower bud.
She also struggled and studied, trying to get out of the pit.
But when she finally found a way to preserve her consciousness for a short period of time and leave this deep ravine a month later, she had already seen purgatory on earth!
The entire Sri Lankan city was completely occupied.
"The speed of the fall is definitely not just because the bitten people turned into zombies. It seems that it is mainly because of the fruit she brought out." Su Qi thought, and the whereabouts of the fruit was also very clear.
It is the big oak tree in the Night Demon's lair.
“I didn’t expect that the source of everything was not in the Night Demon’s Lair, but here.”
Su Qi closed the notebook and stayed here for twenty years in order to avoid going out and harming others, and to prevent that thing from harming others again.
"Then, let me see what this so-called flower bud is."
Su Qi walked in another direction, about ten steps.
Beside a shadow, he was also able to catch a glimpse of a huge red bud.
Twenty years have passed.
It is no longer in the shape of a bud.
It is now ten meters in diameter and rooted in the ground like a brain, while it is surrounded by dense red branches that are entwined, coiled, and even beating like blood vessels.
"This is..." Su Qi felt his heartbeat was affected and there was tinnitus in his ears.
[Spiritual Strength -5]
His eyes focused and he found the source of this familiar feeling: "Is this thing a pollutant? And it has been reduced so much in an instant?"
And at the same time.
A system message popped up in Su Qi's eyes.
[Congratulations to player Su Buxian for triggering his personal hidden world line mission]
[Hidden world line tasks are not restricted by dungeons, game play, or plots. Task progress is not refreshed when a dungeon ends, and it still exists after entering a new dungeon.]
[Note: This task is related to the new version of Paradise. You can get relevant information after completing it.]
Su Qi frowned.
next moment.
[Please dispose of the Class D pollutant. Disposal method: destroy all its flowing liquids.]
[Note: Pollutants are flowing liquids. Once they flow out in large quantities, they will cause the pollution source to transfer.]
[Progress 0/1, rewards will be given after completion]
This was not the first time that Su Qi had seen pollutants. The ancient god's heart in the previous copy was a pollutant, but the ancient god's heart seemed to be of an absurdly high level and could not be displayed at all.
It was only with the help of traveling merchants that pollution was eliminated and recycled.
