The drizzle is thick and continues to fall from the dark clouds, moistening the streets and reflecting the red lights and shadows of the buildings.
Accompanied by the rustling rain, Zuniga suddenly opened his eyes.
"You finally woke up? That's great. I was thinking about sending you to a nearby clinic..."
"By the way, I noticed before that your lips are chapped... I'll pour you a glass of milk. Here."
"Although the milk has become cold, I should be able to drink it. Just wait, I will go in and get you some bread!"
There was a sound next to his ears. It was a young man wearing a bakery uniform, who was talking patiently. It sounded like he was concerned about him.
As his thoughts returned, Zuniga quickly judged the situation.
He fainted on the road because he entered the mission challenge space. He was discovered by the clerk of the bakery and helped him to the bench in front of the store.
Although Zuniga is very grateful to the clerk, what he cares about more than this at the moment is... the people from outside the world!
Not long ago, his "city hide and seek" mission failed for no reason.
Only then was he forced to wake up.
According to Zuniga's judgment, this situation must be caused by someone from outside the world!
"Sure enough, the people from the outside world are nearby!" Zuniga had guessed before that the people from the outside world would sense the "challenge mission". Now it seems that he guessed correctly.
Zuniga struggled to get up and kept looking around.
The magic book in his hand is blooming with brilliance, and a large number of fashion magics are like free money, and he is exploring the surroundings crazily.
"Gossip" allows him to hear all the little sounds around him.
"Traffic Monitoring" allows him to sense all the news around him that is worth recording.
"Color-changing vision" allows him to see clues hidden in the dark.
"Farsightedness" allows him to focus on more distant places...
But no matter how much he checked, he didn't find anything unusual.
Perhaps the rain has washed away all traces, and there are no clues in the dark at all; what the far-sighted eye can see is all the luxury under neon lights; as for the traffic monitoring, although it is found that there is a lot of new "news" in the Tina Entertainment Building, even
There are murder cases involved, but these are old things and have nothing to do with the unusual movements of people outside the world.
Has the alien disappeared?
Or can he remotely monitor the "challenge mission" and block the progress of the mission remotely?
Just when Zuniga was suspicious, his ability to gossip allowed him to hear some small voices... from the clerk in the bakery.
The gentle-looking young clerk seemed to be selecting bread and doing calculations at the same time.
"Although these hundred modern coins are said to be at my disposal, they are basically for the old man outside, so I can't be greedy."
"However, it shouldn't be a problem if I take out five modern coins from the one hundred modern coins to buy bread. Anyway, the bread is for the old man to eat."
Thinking of the sallow-looking Zuniga outside, the store clerk carefully selected bread that was rich in nutrients, meat and eggs.
When he selected the bread and handed it over with the ninety-five modern coins, Zuniga's eyes flashed with doubts.
The clerk obviously foresaw this situation, and he happily told the driver about the person he met who "gave money" before.
"...He must be a good man!"
Although the clerk emphasized that the person who gave the money was a "good guy," Zuniga had an inexplicable intuition in his heart after listening to his story.
That person may be the "person from outside the world"!
This intuition was like a wave of thoughts that swept through Zuniga's heart instantly. He suppressed his floating thoughts and asked the clerk for information about the man.
The clerk only thought that Zuniga was trying to "repay a favor," so he explained the situation in detail.
"Standing under the wall lamp sign at the corner of the street, I can't see my face clearly..." Zuniga thought to himself: Is it really that he can't see his face, or he didn't intend to show his face.
However, no matter what, this person must not be ignored.
"He gave you this money, and he even said that if I wake up, the rest will be yours. Are you sure you don't want a cent?" Zuniga looked at the bib, looking very
Young shop assistant.
The clerk scratched his head: "But from my understanding, the money itself is for you. And..."
The clerk wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back when it reached his lips.
Zuniga stared at the clerk, his eyes moving: "And what?"
The clerk shook his head: "Nothing."
Zuniga calmed down for a few seconds and smiled softly: "Your thoughts are completely shown on your face. You want to say that I need this money more than you, right?"
The clerk was a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "Yes, but please rest assured, sir, I don't mean to discriminate against you. I just feel that..."
Zuniga waved his hand: "I don't feel discrimination, I just want to say, thank you."
Zuniga pushed himself up and stood up: "I will accept this money. It is indeed useful to me. Consider this thing a gift from me in return."
After speaking, Zuniga handed a pendant to the clerk.
He was about to refuse, but he was relieved when he saw that the pendant was just a pebble tied to a rope.
If it's just a pebble, it should be Zuniga's intention, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with accepting it.
When the clerk accepted the pebbles, he looked at them carefully.
The appearance is unremarkable, but there seems to be a transparent water vortex in the middle, like amber. A square partition can be faintly seen inside, like a mini book page?
But if you look closely, there seems to be nothing there.
Just when he wanted to ask Zuniga, he found that Zuniga was already walking forward with a limp.
"Wait a minute, it's still raining outside!"
"There are umbrellas here, at least take one!"
…
Zuniga held an umbrella, walked around for a few steps, and arrived at the roof of a ten-story shop opposite the bakery.
Here you can see the nearby streets and there are no people around, which is suitable for his next "deep exploration".
Under the cover of night, Zuniga stood at the edge of the roof.
Holding an umbrella in one hand, he stretched his other hand forward, and there was a shining magic book floating above it.
The pages of the book were turned rapidly by the night wind, making a rustling sound.
Soon, the book page stopped at the "Bagua Jing" page.
When he first woke up, in order to search for traces of people outside the world, he used Bagua Jing's first ability "Bagua Wenwen". But the effect was very little, and he did not hear any rumors.
Now, he plans to use another ability of Baguajing: fixed-point news.
This ability allows you to know news that has happened to a designated person.
Although this ability has many restrictions, for example, the designated person must be within the field of vision, and the news information unearthed is random, and it cannot be used continuously on the same person... But even if there are many restrictions, it is undeniable that its effect is outstanding.
.
Especially this time, Zuniga is very confident and is very likely to dig out the information he wants.
Because the person he intended to use it on was the bakery clerk.
He had carefully observed this clerk just now. He was an ordinary and kind-hearted person. If "fixed news" was applied to him, there would generally be no feedback.
After all, an ordinary person’s daily life cannot be defined as “news”.
What can be called "news" must be special and worthy of attention.
According to Zuniga's inference, there is a high probability that the person who gave the clerk one hundred modern coins is the extraterrestrial person he is searching for. Therefore, if "fixed news" is used on the clerk, the possibility of the news that may appear is extremely high
Relevant to people outside the world.
Of course, the "pebble" Zuniga gave him was considered a special event, but Zuniga could control and conceal such a strongly related event involving himself.
Thinking of this, Zuniga slowly looked at the bakery on the opposite block.
Almost all the surrounding shops were closed, only this bakery was still open, and the bright warm light shone through, giving the dark and cold night a bit of tenderness.
From a hundred meters away, Zuniga could still clearly see him busy in the store.
You can even see that the pebble pendant given to him before has been hung around his neck.
"I'll lend you the news and give you an opportunity. I hope you won't blame me..." Zuniga murmured in a low voice and tapped the page of the magic book.
The ability to represent "fixed news" glowed dimly, and the clerk's figure faintly appeared in the light.
The next second, the phantom light turned into a spot of light and penetrated into Zuniga's eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, news feedback related to the store clerk came to my mind.
But after Zuniga finished reading this feedback, his expression was full of confusion.
"Fixed news: Someone from outside the world once set his sights on April 1st, but it seems that he did not discover the "truth" hidden in April 1st."
The news was indeed related to "The Man from Beyond", and Zuniga was right on that point.
The person who gave the clerk the Modern Coin before was definitely a person from outside the world.
But, why is this news so strange?
April 1st? Is this the date?
Zuniga squinted his eyes and looked at the bakery opposite. In his faintly glowing eyes, he took in all the details in the store. Including, a purchase order placed on the table.
The signature is...April 1st.
April 1st, is this clerk’s name?! How strange...
However, if you read it this way, then this "fixed news" makes sense. However, as mentioned in the news, people outside the world did not discover the "truth" on April 1st. What does this mean?
Is there something fishy about this clerk named April 1st?
Zuniga believed in his own eyes. At least under his gaze, every detail on April 1st was revealed, and there was nothing unusual about it.
If this is the case, then why does the fixed-point news give such a strange piece of information feedback?
Zuniga pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
Originally, he thought about using the ability of "fixed news" to see if he could capture the information of the people outside the world again, preferably his movements. But unfortunately, although he did capture some information about the people outside the world, it was not special.
Key clues.
"It seems that we can only slowly observe and analyze." Zuniga was not discouraged. He chose the top of the tall building, just to prepare to take in all the people nearby, looking for and analyzing people who might be "people from outside the world".
Just like what he did in "City Hide and Seek" before, it's even simpler than City Hide and Seek. After all, the number of fog spirits in City Hide and Seek is not the same order of magnitude as it is now.
After making the decision, Zuniga prepared to put away the magic book.
But before closing the magic book, Zuniga hesitated and looked at Bagua Jing's other remaining ability.
——Daily news.
After using this ability, you can learn one news item about the town you are currently in every day.
The news information obtained is still random, but generally speaking, it will be the most explosive and attention-grabbing news of the day.
"It will be early morning soon..." The daily news will be refreshed in the early morning.
Zuniga hesitated to use this ability.
but……
Zuniga doesn't like to use the abilities in the magic book, or in other words, he is now tired of fashion monsters and matters related to fashion magic.
The reason why he pursues the outsider is to obtain the other person's ability to "interrupt" challenging tasks. In this way, he no longer has to be chased by fashion monsters.
Therefore, even though he has the "Daily News" ability, he rarely uses it.
But during this time... maybe it can be used more.
As long as he can find someone from outside the world, he might be able to escape from his predicament.
Thinking of this, Zuniga decided to use the "Daily News". Until the person outside the world is found, the daily news cannot be wasted. Maybe it can be used to find clues about the person outside the world.
After all, during this period, the most exciting news in Modern City is most likely related to people from outside the world.
Zuniga stretched out his finger and tapped the illustration of Baguajing.
New points of light gathered at his fingertips.
The next second, a gust of night wind blew across the modern city... The wind brought news from afar...
"Daily News: A disaster that started in the Beverly Nursing Center, was enough to plunge the Fourteenth Town into extinction, and might even sweep the entire modern city, was easily eliminated by the outsiders, silently,
Most people don’t even know about it… Is this the unknown savior?”
The moment he saw the daily news, Zuniga's eyes lit up.
Beverly Care Center, Town 14! The Extraordinary Ones!
Although we don't know what kind of disaster the "Savior" saved, it is established information that someone from outside the world appeared at the Beverly Care Center.
Moreover, the message said “most people don’t know”.
The implicit meaning of this sentence is that there must be a small number of people who know about this matter, and may even have contact with people from outside the world!
Thinking of this, Zuniga's mind has already drifted to the Fourteenth Town!
But before that, Zuniga stayed on the roof of the building to observe the surrounding situation for a period of time. After confirming that there was no abnormal person, he left the building...
Not long after Zuniga left, Angel came out of the Tina Entertainment Building and walked towards the mall next door.
