Chapter 9: Protective Pendant, Time is Precious
Chapter 9: Protective Pendant, Time is Precious
Su Ming's words were exactly what Detective Mo wanted, no matter if it was an evil spirit or a superpower.
He wanted to go and see it with his own eyes.
He was really curious about these supernatural things.
Su Ming: "But before that, you need to take off the amulet on your body first."
"They are precious items, it's a shame to have them damaged like this."
Detective Mo and Aqiang looked confused: "Amulet? What is that?"
"I don't remember buying this kind of thing..."
Su Ming pointed at their necks and said, "That's the thing hanging around your necks."
Detective Mo pulled out what was hanging around his neck. It was a pure black eye pendant.
The pendant on the bodyguard Aqiang's neck is a sword and shield.
Su Ming put his hand close to the pendant, and a prompt for a horror game popped up.
[Protective Pendant (plot item, cannot be taken out of the dungeon): A pendant that brings good luck and avoids misfortune. A good warrior may not have great achievements. It has already affected many things without the wearer knowing.]
As long as the player can get a pendant and doesn't do anything stupid afterwards, he will be able to survive safely.
Of course, this is actually difficult because most players are just ordinary people and it is difficult for them to take them away from detectives and bodyguards through various means.
Su Ming already had stronger eyesight, so he had no need for the two pendants.
Detective Mo looked strange: "We bought this thing from a roadside stall a few years ago!"
A Qiang: "Yes, I remember that this thing was not cheap. It cost us two hundred dollars for one. The detective was like a madman at the time. He insisted on buying it and we couldn't stop him."
Detective Mo: "What do you mean I'm crazy? You clearly insisted on buying it at that time, saying that the girl selling the pendant was very pitiful and you wanted to help her. I just bought one by the way."
A Qiang: "What girl? The one selling the pendant was clearly an old lady, very old, she looked to be 90 years old or older."
The two of them stared at each other, and both realized that there was indeed something strange about the pendant.
Detective Mo sighed, "I didn't expect that our memory of this pendant would be so far off."
"It turns out that we were so close to supernatural forces. If only we had noticed it at the time, we could at least have left the contact information of the owner of the pendant."
"Now that so much time has passed, it would be extremely difficult to find that person."
"So, what is this pendant for?"
He looked at Su Ming and asked curiously.
Su Ming: "As for the effect, it's very simple. It can bring good luck and ward off evil, and eliminate disasters and difficulties. You have been jumping around in various crime scenes, but you haven't found any monsters. It's their credit."
"If it weren't for them, it's very likely that the people who died now would not be the people in Room 301, but the two of you. After all, compared to them, there are too few people in your room."
Detective Mo: "You mean, if we want to see those monsters, we need to take off this pendant?"
Su Ming nodded: "It's better this way, otherwise if you force yourself to meet them, the two pendants will be damaged."
Detective Mo nodded: "In this case, many things can be explained. It is very reasonable and logical."
He looked at his bodyguard, Aqiang: "Aqiang, what do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"
"I have a feeling this is the closest we'll ever get to them!"
Ah Qiang shrugged, licked his lips, and showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face: "Of course I have to go and see them! After all, I have been looking for so long, there must be an end."
He took out a black Bronte P-35, his eyes showing a bit of ferocity: "Besides, I don't think those guys can completely ignore bullets."
Detective Mo nodded: "In that case, I'd like to trouble you, Game House, to take us to see them."
"Although the various explanations you gave are very reasonable, I still can't fully believe it if I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Please forgive me."
Su Ming complained: "Are all of you detectives like you, always questioning everything? Is this considered an occupational disease?"
Detective Mo: "Thank you for the compliment."
It was really hard to gain the trust of the detective duo.
If he hadn't revealed so much information, they wouldn't even have given him this chance.
These two people are too opinionated. If the level of trust is not high enough, they will give full play to their subjective initiative and do crazy things.
And they were the only way for him to pass the level perfectly, and he couldn't avoid them at all. Therefore, he could only try his best to persuade them and increase their trust in him.
After finishing the cup of authentic Tieguanyin in their hands, Su Ming, Detective Mo and A Qiang left Room 503 together.
They followed Su Ming's advice and hid the two pendants in room 503.
Su Ming had the eyeball in his hand, so he didn't pay attention to the two pendants.
Walk down the stairs.
When I went down to the third floor, I found five players standing at the door of Room 301.
Several players now don’t know what to do.
Someone died in the bathroom of room 301. It was a horrible sight. It was really disgusting to go in.
They originally wanted to change rooms, but when they went downstairs just now, they had a conflict with the two front desk clerks, and one of them was killed by some unknown method. Now no one dares to go downstairs to deal with the two front desk clerks.
And they knock on other players' doors, but other players won't open them.
So the situation came to a standstill here.
I saw Su Ming, the detective and the bodyguard coming down the stairs.
Their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had found their backbone: "Game nerd brother! Are you still alive?"
"We have a problem here and we don't know what to do."
"Oh, someone died in there while taking a bath. It's so tragic."
"We went down to the front desk and wanted them to help call the police, but we didn't expect that the two front desk staff were monsters! It was so scary!"
"You look like a big shot, can you help us? Please!"
"And detective, there's been a murder here, could you please help call the police?"
"As a detective, I am a student. You should protect us students, right?"
……
Looking at the five players who were talking at the same time.
Detective Mo frowned slightly.
These people don't seem normal. Are they scared to the point of going insane due to the dangerous situation?
Moreover, their request was too presumptuous. He was just a detective and the other party was not his employer. Why should he protect them?
He looked at Su Ming: "How do we deal with this? These classmates of yours seem... to be quite frightened."
Su Ming thought about it and found that there was nothing he could do.
If it's something that's easy to do, there's nothing wrong in helping out, after all, we're all players.
But the current situation is that helping other players survive requires him to take up a lot of his time and energy.
The safest way is to help them get jewelry like a protective pendant.
However, none of these items can be obtained easily.
He simply evaded the call, “I’m sorry, we just tried, but the detective’s phone couldn’t get through to the police.”
"Please make way. I need to go downstairs to do something with the front desk."
One player was extremely surprised: "Ah? You want to go down to the front desk?"
"That's a monster! We just lost someone in their hands, and we don't even know where the body is."
"What exactly do you want to do? Is this matter so important?"
Su Ming thought to himself that this hotel was full of monsters, even the cook.
If you insist on not dealing with monsters, you won't even have to eat.
Su Ming: "Thank you for the reminder. My suggestion is that you try to stay together. Even when taking a shower or going to the toilet, it is best to have two or more people accompany you. This may be safer."
"Also, for the bodies in the room, you can contact the cleaning lady to deal with them. The landline in the room can be used to call for food delivery, cleaning and other services. If you stay in the room and don't leave, the chances of survival should be much greater."
After saying this, he, the detective and the bodyguard continued downstairs.
His time is also precious and there are many things to do. I can only remind him here.
