Chapter 630 NPC Knows Strange Things

"emm..."

On the dark stairs, Qin Shang had a lollipop hanging from his mouth and had a strange expression on his face.

Especially the "Urine is the Tears of the Bladder" next to him was like a little girl who had made a mistake, timidly following behind him as he climbed the stairs.

He had an illusion that if he raised his hand and fist to scare her now, this little girl would probably cry right there...

Now, after hearing the description of "urine is the tears of the bladder", Qin Shang's mind was actually even more confused.

A white glove who had never completed any mission assigned by the "Far Voyage" organization was assigned to enter [No. 1 Monastic Grudge].

Listen, is this true?

If this was Chen Boxu's order, it would be even more incredible...

On the other hand, what is Chen Boxu's purpose? Is he trying to get this girl to die?

There is another point that Qin Shang can't figure out.

Why didn't the Zheng family of Jincheng give the simultaneous interpreter to the person who was obviously the strongest among the foreign aid hired by the Zheng family this time, and whoever gave him milk was the mother?

Instead, it was given to the hands of 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder'?

Is there anything so special about this woman in the eyes of the Zheng family?

There were still some things that he couldn't figure out, for example, Qin Shang couldn't figure out why Chen Boxu, that son of a bitch, was behind all this...

Wasn't it Lord Chen who sent this traitorous servant, bah, 'urine is the tears of the bladder' into the dungeon?

How could Chen Boxu, the boss of an overseas criminal organization, be involved in Chen Ge Lao's network of contacts?

His thoughts were in a mess.

"When did Chen Boxu and the people from the Zheng family in Jincheng get involved?"

"what?"

The next moment, upon hearing this, 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' was stunned;

"I, I don't know."

"Boss, I don't know if you have any connection with the Zheng family in Jincheng. In fact, after you contacted me to come to Jiangcheng to enter this instance, you didn't mention anything about the Zheng family in Jincheng to me. I heard all that from the people in the Zheng family..."

"Their leader said that the Zheng family needed this prop and would provide me with off-field assistance, but he also didn't mention the boss's name. I don't know if the boss has any connection with the Zheng family in Jincheng."

???

So, you are not wrong to call me a traitor?

Did you really come into this dungeon with three purposes?

"A syllogism in deductive reasoning...Suppose there are three rays, a is parallel to b, b is parallel to c, then it follows that a is parallel to c."

"But if line a intersects line b at point x, and line b intersects line c at point y, then we cannot conclude that line segments a, b, and c intersect, and x and y are not necessarily in the same quadrant."

At this moment, the timid voice of "Urine is the tears of the bladder" who was walking behind me suddenly rang in my ears.

"According to this logic, the boss wanted the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' to find me to enter the dungeon [No. 1 Cultivation Grudge], and the Zheng family also wanted the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' to find me to enter the dungeon [No. 1 Cultivation Grudge], so if we want to conclude that the boss and the Zheng family are in cahoots, then the boss and the Zheng family must find me to enter [No. 1 Cultivation Grudge] together, but they found me separately."

"So we can't prove that the intersection of these three line segments is in the same quadrant. In other words, we can conclude that the boss is not necessarily in cahoots with the Zheng family..."

Hearing this, the veins on Qin Shang's forehead jumped, and he suddenly couldn't help but speak.

"That's enough! You ancient Greek god of theorems!"

This time he was speaking with his mouth instead of through the lollipop [whispering].

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Wei, the NPC leading the way in front, turned his head and looked at the two of them.

Qin Shang's mind was already in a mess at this moment, and the theorem "Urine is the tears of the bladder" kept buzzing in his ears.

Have you watched too much "Ten Days End"?

Thank you, Theorem Man...

Of course he knew that it was impossible to confirm the relationship between the Zheng family and Chen Boxu at present, but there were still many points that puzzled him.

For example, why did Chen Boxu look for this woman to enter the dungeon, and why did the Zheng family not give the simultaneous interpretation props to the fox-faced man but to this woman who looked dull and simple, but actually had some ideas but not many.

And another point is, why is Chen Boxu involved with the Zheng family, or are the two parties not related, and is it really just a coincidence?

On the day Chen Boxu left Yanjing, he was probably still planning to use Uncle Zhao's daughter, Zhao Yuanyuan, to determine the location of the gambling world and the existence of a "wanted player" in the Lai Fu Hotel.

He was clearly planning to continue his game with Yin Shisan.

How come our people came to Jiangcheng in less than three days?

That bastard Chen Boxu is also involved?

Could it be that Chen Boxu also wanted the "chain of cause and effect" and therefore arranged for "urine to be the tears of the bladder"?

Then, following this line of thought, what is Chen Boxu's purpose for the "chain of cause and effect"?

Of course, no matter what Chen Boxu's purpose is in wanting the item "Chain of Cause and Effect".

But no matter how you look at this woman, she doesn't seem like someone who can be reliable and capable of helping Chen Boxu get the "Chain of Cause and Effect".

Qin Shang's cheek twitched. His initial assessment of her was that she had an okay brain and seemed to have a decent amount of knowledge.

But with this much courage, can he really meet Chen Boxu's requirements?

He didn't believe that Chen Boxu didn't know that [No. 1 Cultivator's Grievance] was an S-level copy, and he didn't believe that Chen Boxu didn't conduct any background investigation on the copy before sending people into it.

Also, this servant of three surnames was also hired by the Zheng family. Why didn't the Zheng family let her know that those bad guys were also helpers hired by the Zheng family? Instead, they deliberately reminded her that she must not let other people from the bad guys organization who entered the copy this time know that you have simultaneous interpretation props?

Intuitively speaking, the fox-faced man knew that there was such a simultaneous interpretation prop in the hands of someone in the copy at this moment.

This means that once the people in the Bad Guys organization know that I have simultaneous interpretation props, it is equivalent to indirectly telling them that I am someone hired by the Zheng family.

Then the Zheng family, knowing that the members of the Bad Guys organization were also their own people, went to find "Urine is the Tears of the Bladder".

Why are you unwilling to make it clear to both parties that the other party is someone you have brought here?

What's the purpose of making her afraid of those bad guys and hiding this matter deliberately?

If Qin Shang knew that Chen Boxu had been planning this moment two days ago, and that his mind was in a mess now, and that he subconsciously left the words "urine is the teardrop of the bladder" and even let this little girl follow him, which was the plan Chen Boxu had anticipated in the past two days, he would probably be shocked beyond words.

But the fact is indeed so. Everything that is happening in the copy at this moment is really as if it is going according to Chen Boxu's initial expectations...

"'Lick the cockroach's feet'. The dean is in the room inside. After you go in, the dean will tell you the interview project. But you can only go alone. Your friend can't follow you. She has to wait for you outside..."

At this moment, after the three of them walked up the stairs for who knows how long, Qin Shang estimated that they seemed to have reached the third floor of the monastery building.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei, who was leading the way in front, stopped, then turned his head and glanced at Qin Shang.

Of course, it took Qin Shang almost a full minute to walk up the three-story building.

It’s not that he lacks physical strength, but the stairs leading to the upper floor from the side door are winding in shape, rather than a linear corner.

For a spiral staircase, the speed of going upstairs depends entirely on the inclination angle of the stairs.

Those with a larger angle may make you walk faster, but those with a smaller angle will make you dizzy just by going around in circles.

As a result, you may have walked for a long time, but when you look up, you may have only walked three or five floors...

Zhang Wei didn't pay attention to Qin Shang's words about the ancient Greek god in charge of theorems, "Urine is the teardrops of the bladder", but pointed expressionlessly at the dark corridor in front of him.

"Walk along this corridor, and there is an office at the end. That's where our dean is."

"Forehead……"

Seeing the scene in the corridor in front of him, the sudden words interrupted Qin Shang's thoughts. He could only swallow his confusion first.

Alarm bells immediately rang in my heart.

The corridor was pitch black, and without a flashlight, one couldn't even see the layout of the offices inside the corridor.

He could only vaguely see that there seemed to be office-like concierges on both sides. Qin Shang's Adam's apple suddenly rolled unconsciously. He became much braver after becoming a Shenlu player.

But it is human nature to be afraid of the dark, especially in a corridor that is so dark that you can't see the end!

His sixth sense told him that there was something fishy about this corridor. It was very likely that the so-called interview was not after meeting the dean, but before meeting the dean...

Thinking of this, Qin Shang subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, looked down at the flashlight in Zhang Wei's hand as he led them all the way, rubbed his hands and asked carefully;

"Um, Comrade Zhang Wei...can you give me the flashlight?"

"Or why don't you take me to the door of the dean's office? I'm a timid person and I don't dare to walk alone in the dark at night..."

"bawl!"

To Qin Shang's surprise, Zhang Wei handed over the flashlight very readily and explained it in detail.

"The dean usually requires us not to enter and leave his room at will. Today, you are here for the interview, so the dean made an exception. In addition, the dean reminded us on the pager that only you can go in."

The few people who went upstairs just now relied on this flashlight to get up. There was no light in the entire monastery except for the hall where the "Find a Friend" game was played at the beginning.

Qin Shang even suspected that the lights in the hall would only appear during the "Find Friends" segment.

At other times when entering this building, the hall is also dim.

Otherwise, why did the lights go out completely once the game of 'Find a Friend' was over...

However, Qin Shang did not forget the content of his solo side quest.

The next moment, he took the flashlight from Zhang Wei.

Without giving Zhang Wei a chance to leave with 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder', he suddenly grabbed Zhang Wei's wrist;

"Brother, don't leave yet! Wei Ge..."

His tone suddenly softened, with a hint of pleading.

"I'd like to ask, have you ever encountered a long-necked creature during your night patrol work?"

"I don't really believe in ghosts and gods, but when I was praying in the hall with my friend just now, I seemed to vaguely see a strange thing with a long neck. I'm a very timid person. This job won't require us to fight against ghosts or demons. I don't know if it was an illusion just now, but I saw the shadow of a long neck on the wall over there..."

At the end of his words, Qin Shang's shoulders trembled nervously, expressing his fear and anxiety vividly.

As soon as these words came out, the little face of the person next to him who said 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' turned pale in an instant, showing a look of shock and fright.

'Licking cockroach's feet' Are you crazy?

How can I talk directly to NPC about weird things?

The three NPCs, Zhang Wei, Li Kai and Chen Zhuo, look like ordinary people with no special abilities.

Based on the setting that he is just an ordinary person in the copy, what does Qin Shang’s current behavior look like?

It's like a person who traveled back to the 90s and asked the aunt sweeping the road, "Have you seen a smartphone?"

Auntie, do you know US President Obama?

These are things that will happen in the future. The timeline in the current story background is obviously before the fire and Wu Shiqi's death. At this time, the copy has not yet reached the stage where strange things happen...

However, the moment these thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' was also stunned for a moment.

Oh, that’s not right. According to the timeline, Wu Shiqi, the key figure in the background of our current timeline, is not dead yet.

And there was no mention of any weirdness in the background board, so where did the long-necked weirdness that punished players in the "Find a Friend" game come from?

Thinking of this, the urine was like tears from the bladder, suppressing the anxiety in my heart.

I suspect that Qin Shang's words were not spoken without purpose at this moment. Perhaps he had his own purpose. Maybe he asked this because he discovered something.

[Exploration progress; 5%]

The next moment, Qin Shang first heard the divine road prompt sound coming from his mind.

Then, he saw Zhang Wei's expression suddenly became meaningful. From the panic he showed when he claimed to have seen a long-necked ghost, he quickly adjusted his expression.

"Don't worry, that thing's range of activity isn't that large!"

"You're seeing things..."

hiss!

He knows something weird!

It seems that the NPCs in this monastery should know some clues...

As expected, you still have to take the initiative!

Seeing this, Qin Shang was startled at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

If I just went into that corridor without knowing why, I might not even know how I died.

Don't forget, he once reaped the benefits of staying in the "Death Train" to study the windows on both sides of the carriage alone.

Therefore, he knew very well that if he wanted to get clues at this time, it was more likely that he would have to actively explore on his own rather than rely on background boards and prompts.

As for the way to explore...

The NPC in front of me who doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me, a person who lives in the background of Jiangcheng Xiang'an District in the 90s, isn't he the best clue?

Now it seems that the electronic prompt sound of Shenlu confirms the conjecture.

Qin Shang knew that he had guessed correctly, he had triggered the clue...

He didn't forget what his solo mission was.

Ask him to explore the mystery of his strange birth.

Ever since Qin Shang experienced the 'Find a Friend' game, he could almost be sure of one thing.

That strange long neck is most likely nothing to do with Wu Shiqi.

It is possible that he was the originator of the horror ghost stories that really happened in this monastery in the 90s.

As for the supernatural stories that occurred after Wu Shiqi died in the monastery, Qin Shang was not sure whether they were all related to the strange long neck.

But he dared to guarantee that before Wu Shiqi's death, unknown strange things had already happened one after another in this Jiangcheng Monastery.

This is probably what Wu Shiqi found out, the origin of the monastery's secret...
