Chapter 217 Important clues!(1/2)
Just after Bai Ye hid, the underground door opened again.
The townspeople filed out. Each one of them still stood upright, as if they could not bend down. Their eyes were staring straight ahead.
After everyone came out and closed the door, they lined up in a long line and walked away.
Bai Ye watched them leave and return to the town, and waited patiently for a while.
He didn't follow back, but returned underground again!
He wanted to see if the plant he wanted was there!
As for that weird creature, Bai Ye has the courage to fight it alone.
I couldn't show up just now because I was afraid that these townspeople would interfere with me when I was fighting that weird creature. There were at least a hundred underground townspeople. Once they interfered with me, it would be very troublesome.
Return to the dark underground cave during the white night.
Here are piled up the ceremonial costumes used by the townspeople just now. What is very strange is that these clothes have lost their original colors at this time. The bright red and green have turned into gray.
Bai Ye didn't have time to pay attention to these things. The first thing he did was to go behind the big tree stump to see if there were any blue Hibiscus flowers.
Unfortunately, the back of the big tree stump was no different from the front. There were no plants he wanted.
Bai Ye tried his best to look between the big tree stumps, but saw nothing except a piece of dark wood.
He was on tenterhooks, always on guard against the appearance of the strange creature just now. But after searching here for a long time, the other party showed no intention of appearing, and even the strange atmosphere was gone.
When the festival was held just now, the cave gave Bai Ye a chill, which was extremely strange.
But at this time, the entire cave felt like an ordinary cave. It couldn't be more normal.
There is no feeling of any malice.
Bai Ye opened the data perspective and didn't see any strange creatures.
He speculated that the strange creature did not intend to appear like this. Its appearance most likely had to meet certain conditions.
For example, it must be Friday night. Otherwise, why would the townspeople choose this time to hold the festival?
In other words, for that strange creature to appear, the townspeople must make strange sounds and "summon" it.
If these conditions cannot be met, the strange creature may not appear on its own initiative.
Bai Ye had a hunch that the clue to the medicine he was looking for might be found in what the strange creature said just now. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand it at all and had no idea what the thing was saying.
It seems that he can only look for the person in Night City who helped him build a weird weapon last time. If anyone can understand something similar, he is the only one.
After searching for a while and finding nothing else, he returned to his hotel room when no one was paying attention.
It was late at night, around twelve o'clock in the evening. If you hurry up, you can still have some opportunities in the game. Bai Ye quickly opened the game.
He pressed the "v" mark to start the game.
The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, fluorescent red fonts slowly emerged.
[Passionate dream chaser, you have returned to the City of Night again]
With no time to look at anything else, Baiye went directly to the abandoned dock in the industrial area.
[The yellow delivery robot stood quietly and waited. It seemed as if he knew someone wanted to contact him. ]
[You find a courier robot and spend $0.5 to send a letter for you. The robot opens its courier package and finds an envelope that looks very familiar. It was the last time you contacted that person.
envelope.】
Bai Ye complained in his heart that this weird item producer was quite economical and would not replace the envelopes he had used for such a long time.
I don’t know if he is frugal or just too stingy.
[You write your request on the letter paper and transmit the voice information you recorded to the chip inside. You don’t know what kind of reward the other party wants, so you can only wait for his reply for a while. ]
[After putting away the envelope, the yellow delivery robot walked to the dock and jumped off.]
[In less than five minutes, the delivery robot came over from the other direction. You took the envelope and found that this time the other party actually paid the postage of 0.5 US dollars. 】
[In the letter, he looked very excited.]
["Brother, thank you very much! The strange creature sounds you recorded are very rare, and can even allow me to directly upgrade my identity from an ordinary strange item producer to a craftsman!"]
When Bai Ye saw this, he realized that the maker of strange items had never been a craftsman before he came here. It wasn't until this chance that he became a craftsman?
I don’t know what the difference is between human craftsmen and ordinary weird item makers?
Bai Ye thought and continued to read what was written in the envelope.
["To express my gratitude to you, I will not charge you a penny this time. And I promise that customers will enjoy supreme treatment."]
["Okay, stop talking nonsense, I am really a little too excited today. I have translated the recording you sent and attached it to the chip. In addition, I will give you an extra weird prop. This thing can
Let you mix among those weird people and be considered by them to be their own kind."]
["Remember, the strange creature you discovered is very dangerous. Its strength is not something that ordinary people can contend with. Please try to avoid fierce conflicts with it, which may lead to loss of life."]
["Looking forward to meeting you next time, your loyal craftsman friend, Zizi."]
Bai Ye looked at the contents of the email. The harvest this time was beyond his imagination.
The other person was not only very enthusiastic, but also gave him an extra weird prop.
Moreover, Bai Ye finally knew the name of this new craftsman: Zizi.
It looks like a very strange name. Most people probably wouldn't think it was a human name. It's more like a name a mouse would give itself.
However, he is a craftsman after all, and for a guy who has been dealing with strange creations all the time, it doesn't matter if he has a strange name.
Bai Ye closed the game and took out two things from his inventory.
One is a chip equipped with a translator. The other is a gift given to him by the craftsman.
This new weird prop is a black mask. It feels very cold to the touch, as if it was made of pig iron.
According to the craftsman, as long as he wears this mask on his face, Bai Ye can blend in with the weirdos in the town and be regarded by them as part of his own people and become their companions.
Bai Ye tried to put on the mask, but he didn't feel anything special. He walked to the mirror and found that he was just an ordinary person wearing a black mask. At most, he couldn't see his face. He didn't know this thing.
How on earth can we do what the craftsman said?
Waiting until tomorrow night, Bai Ye decided to give it a try to see if this thing has any effect.
He put down the mask temporarily, took out the chip, and transferred the contents of the chip to the hacker chip in his mind.
This is the most important thing. Through what the strange creatures say, you can know their future arrangements, which will facilitate your actions.
Maybe you can also hear something about the blue Higan flower.
Bai Ye is looking forward to these things.
Turning on Voice, he heard a hoarse voice.
[Lord: "You are here. How are things in the town?"
Subordinate: "Reporting to the Supreme Lord, everything in the town is going as you wish and is going on normally. No one knows our secrets. Our plan is also developing smoothly."
Lord: "I say this every time. I hope you won't lie to me."
"That precious blue plant will bloom soon. According to my prediction, it will be at midnight tomorrow."
"This opening opportunity is very precious and must be seized. You will hold an additional festival tomorrow, and it must be the most grand one to celebrate the opening of blue plants. You must satisfy me by then."]
Bai Ye was overjoyed when he heard what the Lord said!
Sure enough! It’s news about the Blue Higanbana flower!
He was 100% sure that the so-called "precious blue plant" mentioned by the Lord was the target he was looking for, the blue flower of the other side that could cure his disease.
The hard work paid off, and I finally found traces of this thing.
According to the information from the so-called "Honored Lord", the blue Higan flower will bloom tomorrow night. And the place where it blooms should be in the cave where they are.
Bai Ye made a decision in his heart that he must be prepared. Tomorrow is the most important moment.
Success or failure depends on this!
He continued to listen to the conversation between the Lord and his subordinates.
[Subordinate: "As you wish. Everything will be arranged according to your will."
Lord: "Where are the sacrifices? Are there enough sacrifices?"
Subordinate: "That's enough. We have prepared three sacrifices before, and today there is another businessman from other places who is completely controlled by us. The four people represent the four directions. There can be no mistake."]
Hearing this, Bai Ye was shocked. Sure enough, the businessman next door had been killed!
It should have been made by the black figure that appeared in his room.
Bai Ye thought to himself that the guy should have wanted to attack him. But he was not in the room, so he became the unlucky businessman.
Bai Ye sighed in his heart, what a pity.
He probably had no chance to save the businessman. Because when he went out during the day, the businessman's expression was already very different from usual. Bai Ye suspected that he had been replaced by something strange like the townspeople.
Already.
The conversation continues.
To be continued...
