Acid rain was still pouring down, and there were no people on both sides of the street, everyone was hiding under the eaves.
There was only an old beggar, dragging his somewhat weak legs, walking in the rain.
"Hey, old man, you don't want to live anymore, do you? If it rains like this, your skin will ulcerate all over your body tomorrow!"
"Come quickly, come this way."
"Why don't you listen to this old man? You are not a young man. Young people can survive even if their skin is rotten once, but if your skin is rotten, you may end up in the graveyard with half a foot!"
"Forget it, forget it, you deserve to die if you don't listen."
The people taking shelter under the eaves were still talking, but the old beggar walking in the rain seemed not to hear at all. He just looked at the Tina Entertainment building in the distance and murmured in a low voice: "We're almost there...it's just a little acid rain, just a little hair loss..."
Compared with these small problems, Zuniga wanted to reach Tina Building as soon as possible.
According to the prompts from the "fixed news", the "extraterrestrial man" is most likely near the Tina Building.
Zuniga limped forward. Unknowingly, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. It hit the ground and set off waves of rain curtains. Together with the surrounding light and mist, the front was dazzling.
Zuniga subconsciously covered his eyes, and the next second, he felt something coming from the rain curtain and getting into his body.
The body loses weight and darkness comes.
"This familiar feeling..."
"here we go again."
The moment before he fell into coma, Zuniga just vaguely heard a cry of surprise in his ears. A young man from a nearby bakery rushed towards him holding an umbrella...
When Zuniga opened his eyes again.
He found that he was no longer on the long street where the rain was falling, but instead came to a city shrouded in mist.
The shape of this city is completely different from that of a modern city.
If a modern city is a torrent of steel under neon lights, then this city looks like a "modern forest city."
Buildings still exist, and some are even bigger than those in Modern City, but the shells of the buildings do not have colorful lights and shadows, but are covered with various flowering plants.
The combination of primitive forests and modern high-rise buildings is the city in front of you.
"This is a bit like the 'City of Fog'." Zuniga raised his head and glanced at a corner of the city, then lowered his head silently.
If nothing unexpected happens, this city is the "City of Fog", but it is definitely not the real city of Fog, but a challenging space created by a certain fashionable monster.
He was all too familiar with the situation where his body had lost weight and his mind had fallen into a dark sleep.
He must have been targeted by some fashion monster.
Nowadays, if you want to go out, you either have to complete the challenge task given by the fashion monster, or you have to wait for the time to end and the challenge space to disperse automatically.
If it were in the past, Zuniga might choose to sleep where he is and wait for the challenge space to break. Although there may be backlash by then, Zuniga doesn't care about these backlashes.
However, this time was different from the past. Zuniga did not choose to rest, but stood up with his support on the ground.
"We must complete the challenge mission as soon as possible." Zuniga murmured in a low voice, "This way, we can leave early to find the people outside the world..."
The ability of the Outer One affects Zuniga's future happiness... He is tired of being stared at by fashion monsters and falling asleep anytime and anywhere. As long as he knows which fashion monster the Outer Person's ability comes from, maybe he can Can be liberated!
Thinking of this, Zuniga did not hesitate any longer.
He first looked around. The place he was currently on was a long street. There was no living person, only mist and various creatures composed of mist.
From fog men, fog birds, fog dogs, fog cats... there are creatures made of fog everywhere.
They are like the residents of this city, forming the cornerstone of the ecology.
Moreover, they are all "moving" as if they are really living in this city.
Although Zuniga has never been to Mist City, he knows that the residents of Mist City are actually not much different from Modern City. They are all of the same race, but there are some differences in customs, culture and skin color.
So there is no doubt that these fog men are all created by the unknown fashion monster.
Zuniga has spent his life in countless challenge spaces and knows the rules of challenge spaces very well. As long as he finds any breakthrough, he will secretly sense the challenge target of the mission.
Judging from the current situation, these fog men must be the breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Zuniga stood up and limped to a nearby fog man.
Judging from his body shape, he seems to be a child, but there is no face or details, and the body is made entirely of mist.
Zuniga slowly reached out his hand and touched the fog man child.
At the moment of contact, he had already sensed the mission information.
"Within forty-eight hours, find the real mastermind hiding in the fog spirit..."
Zuniga immediately understood a very typical challenge: to find the true form of the fashion monster.
It's not too complicated. This kind of mission can happen to both low-level fashion monsters and high-level fashion monsters. However, the difficulty is very different.
The larger the challenge space, the more troublesome it is to find the true form of the fashion monster, and the more difficult the task becomes.
Although the city in front of us is not a one-to-one replica of the foggy city, judging from the shadowy high-rise buildings in the distance, it is at least one-tenth or one-twentieth of the foggy city?
In such a huge city, it is not easy to find the true form of the fashion monster.
However, no matter how hard it is, you still have to find it.
Zuniga raised his head and looked around, and finally locked on the tallest building in his field of vision, planning to go to the top of the building to overlook it first... Since it was a task to find a type, the body of the fashionable monster would definitely be different from other fog people around it.
His mental power and observation ability are mutually beneficial. As long as the fashionable monster appears in his field of vision, he can immediately lock it on even if it is a grain of dust.
Soon, Zuniga reached the top floor of the building and began to look around.
"For this kind of challenge mission, the fashion monsters are generally very curious. Even if they hide very secretly at first, they will come out secretly to see the progress of the challenger later on."
Therefore, Zuniga's choice of the top floor of the building was not random. As long as the fashion monster is "curious" and comes out to take a look, Zuniga will be sure to find some clues through meticulous observation.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zuniga captured several targets worthy of investigation. As long as he observes them for a while, he should be able to find the optimal choice using the elimination method.
However, in the process of capturing the target, another thought arose in Zuniga's mind.
"——Actually, I don't need to leave the challenge space in such a hurry."
"It seems that the man from outside the world took the initiative to interrupt the fashion magician who was in the middle of a mission challenge several times in a row. It was the same for both me and Falu."
"In other words, if he finds out that I am challenging a mission, he might interrupt me?"
"And once you are interrupted by someone from outside, does that mean that the other party is nearby?"
Thinking of this, Zuniga was really hesitant to complete the challenge mission.
"Just take it one step at a time. At worst, even if you lock the fashion monster's identity, you don't have to expose it..."
…
The central area, the end of the rain curtain.
Angel left one hundred modern coins for the clerk and left.
The reason why I kept the Modern Coin was not so much out of pity for Zuniga, but more out of admiration for the bakery clerk's kindness.
After walking a few steps, Angel came to a deep alley, and he walked in without hesitation.
There is a sewer opening at the end of this alley, through which you can enter the underground neighborhood.
On the way to the underground neighborhood, Angel finally had time to sort out the information about the wonderland he had received when he touched Zuniga.
"Random mission "Hide and seek in the foggy forest""
"Mission Overview: The undefeated hide-and-seek king, the creator of the city's Kirigakure, and the "smokescreen scholar" who came from afar decided to start his first hide-and-seek contest in the modern city."
"Mission goal: Please find the smoke screen scholar hiding in the fog spirit in the simulated city."
"Countdown: 47:31:12"
"Countdown: 47:31:11"
"..."
This is Zuniga's ongoing challenge mission. Angel took a rough look at it from a God's perspective and found that the map was very huge.
The urban space where Hide and Seek is located is almost comparable to the entire West End of the modern city.
The so-called "fog spirits" are creatures made up of various types of smoke in the city.
There are not only fog people walking on the streets, fog cats sitting on the walls, fog butterflies flying in the flowers, even fog birds flying in the sky, and fog rats crawling in the sewers, they all belong to the category of "fog spirits".
Angel took a quick look and saw that there were countless mist spirits.
One hundred thousand? One million? Maybe more.
In short, Zuniga's mission is to find the "Smoke Scholar" hidden among countless fog spirits within 48 hours.
The task description is very simple and not difficult to understand, but it is extremely difficult to execute.
Even if Angel observes from God's perspective, it will probably take a long time, not to mention that Zuniga does not have perspective vision.
However, "Hide and Seek in the Mist" is only a mission exclusive to Zuniga, and when Angel came into contact with Zuniga, he received another mission.
"Random mission "Building Hide and Seek""
"Mission Overview: It is a smokescreen scholar who loves hide-and-seek, and an adventurer who is addicted to treasure hunting games. It is keen to find everything hidden, whether it is treasure buried in the soil or people hiding in the dark.
Or maybe the secret hidden in the heart..."
"Mission goal: Use the entire Tina Entertainment building as a hide-and-seek place to find fifteen human skeletons hidden throughout the building."
"Countdown: 47:31:12"
"Countdown: 47:31:11"
"..."
Through a common children's game, find the fifteen human bones hidden in Tina Entertainment?
...This task has a sense of deja vu that deconstructs magical realism.
However, putting aside these unnecessary thoughts, from Angel's perspective, this task is much simpler than Zuniga's "Hide and Seek in the Fog".
The main reason is that the city in the mission space is too big and there are many nooks and crannies. If the Smokescreen Scholar is hidden in a fog rat, it will be too difficult for you to find it.
And this "building peek-a-boo" is only limited to one building, which is much simpler.
Of course, this is only relatively simple from Angel's point of view, because he has a God's perspective. Not only does he have a full map display, but he also has a perspective display. It is not easy to find the fifteen human bones hidden in the building.
But for others, this may not be as simple as "hide and seek in the foggy forest".
Take Starworm as an example.
If Starworm came to do this task, he would have to face many difficulties. For example, if he wanted to enter the Tina Entertainment Building, there would be a threshold? What's more, he would also have to find hidden secrets in a building full of fashion magicians.
bones?
Moreover, since the murderer killed someone and hid the body in the building so that the cleaning staff couldn't find it, could the Starworm find it?
Unless the starworm turns the building upside down and searches every detail, it is possible to complete this task. Even if you find some clues, you can really hide it from the magic of fashion when you go to hoe the ground and dig the walls.
Teacher?
You know, Tina Entertainment is the place where magicians gather the most in the entire modern city. It can even be said that this is the most dangerous place!
Therefore, although the map of "Mansion Hide and Seek" has become smaller, the complexity and difficulty will not be less than that of "Fog Forest Hide and Seek".
Unfortunately, I encountered a wall hanging.
Angel planned to find an opportunity to go to Tina Entertainment to complete this task after he came out of the underground neighborhood.
Anyway, he has a nightmare cover, entering Tina Entertainment is like entering a no-man's land; and also has a God's perspective, it is not easy to do this task.
Thinking of this, Angel also looked at the only clickable noun on the text column: Smoke Screen Scholar.
Smokescreen Scholar is undoubtedly the stylish monster behind the random missions.
But Angel had never heard of this fashion monster before.
Moreover, judging from the description of "Hide and Seek in the Mist", the Smokescreen Scholar seems to have come "from afar". In other words, it may not be a common fashionable monster native to the modern city.
"As expected of Zuniga..." Angel sighed in a low voice, it was another rare fashionable monster.
His variety show elves were harvested from Zuniga. Moreover, variety show elves are rarely seen in Modern City, and now there is only this one.
And this smoke screen scholar, if nothing unexpected happens, is probably a rare fashionable monster.
Rare is good.
It should be very profitable to disassemble it and sell it for money. Maybe the Smokescreen Scholar alone can sell millions of modern coins!
Of course, the premise is that the pieces of the puzzle on him can fill the gap of the smoke screen scholar.
With hope, Angel lightly clicked "Smoke Screen Scholar" on the text column.
The next second, information about Smokescreen Scholar emerged.
