Chapter 3817 Echoes of the Past
Faced with Xiao Lu's stern expression, Angel chuckled: "It's not anything particularly serious, I just want to ask the Hermit Association for a small favor."
Xiaolu: "What are you busy with?"
"The thing is, a friend of mine recently left Modern City. Before he left, he asked me to take care of his daughter."
Xiaolu: "Sir, do you want us to help take care of your friend's daughter?"
Angel shook his head: "No, she has a nanny at home and does not need to take care of her in daily life. The care my friend refers to is to help her daughter when she encounters difficulties."
"And recently, his daughter has encountered a difficulty..."
"My friend's daughter is called Dani, and she is currently studying at Modern Middle School. Recently, Modern Middle School is organizing a style party, and students who want to become designers have started their own style parties..."
"Of course Dani also has her own style party, but everyone else's parties are very lively, only Dani's style party is sparsely attended."
So far, Xiaolu has not heard Angel's request: "Why is there no one at Dani's style party? Is it because she is not popular?"
Angel shook his head: "No, it's mainly the party held by Dani, the style is very niche..."
"She chose Halloween as the theme and held a Halloween party." When Angel said this, he made a "ghost claw" motion.
Halloween? Xiao Lu immediately understood after hearing this. Halloween is a theme festival in Modern City, also called the Festival of Ghosts, which means that demons are dancing around. However, because the word "ghost" didn't sound too good to the ears, it was changed to "Halloween".
.
To put it bluntly, a Halloween party is a style party with a ghost theme.
For adults, pretending to be a ghost is not a big deal. Moreover, some ghosts have extremely special styles and can attract many magicians.
But for children who are still studying in school, they are frightened and afraid of "ghosts".
They may be able to watch from a distance curiously, but it may be a bit difficult for them to pretend to be ghosts and join the party themselves. They are at the level of being curious but afraid to approach.
Because of this, Little Green finally understood why Danni's Halloween party was deserted.
"Although Little Danni is very strong, I feel a little sad when I think of her being alone at the party." Angel sighed: "As for me, although I can go to Little Danni's party
Party, but after all, it’s just me, and I can’t create a lively atmosphere even if I go there, so…”
Angel raised his head and looked at Xiao Lu: "I hope the Hermits can help me find some people, not too many, just twenty or so, dressed in Halloween style, to attend Little Dani's style party."
"So that's it..." Xiao Lu thought it was something particularly difficult before, just finding some people to join in the fun at Dany's style party, which was still very simple.
"This matter is not difficult. There are hired teams in the deep black market that specialize in taking on tasks... Sir, do you have any requirements for people who go to the party? For example, identity requirements? Time requirements?"
Angel shook his head: "There is no identity requirement. This style party is organized by the school. There is no need for a magician. It can be an ordinary person, and there is no age limit. Of course, it is best to be about the same age as little Dani."
"As for the time, there is a limit. Because the party has already started and will end tomorrow morning, so if possible, I hope to find someone to go there now."
"By the way, after they go there, it's best not to say that I found them."
Xiao Lu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I understand this."
Angel: “I don’t know, how much does it cost to hire these people?”
Xiaolu did some calculations and found that if he only hired ordinary people, twenty Modern Dollars per person would be almost enough. However, considering that he wanted to dress up as a "ghost", he also needed to pay for the rental of clothing and makeup.
For extreme compression, thirty mod coins per person is enough. But if there are more relaxed conditions, it will definitely be better.
Angel: "Then fifty each."
Angel has one million modern coins in his hand, so he is not short of this little money.
Xiao Lu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm going to find someone now. Do I need to arrange for them to go there with my husband?"
Angel: "No, they can just go there by themselves. Just remember not to be late."
Xiaolu: "Don't worry, I won't be late."
With Xiaolu's assurance, a stone in Angel's heart was relieved.
Everything he just told was made up in order to complete the random mission "Miss Halloween". Of course, it is not entirely made up, and it is also combined with some reality.
Angel checked the school's archives through God's perspective and determined Danni's identity. Knowing her identity and background, and knowing that her father had recently left Modern City, he fabricated a story about "taking care of a friend's daughter"
.
Anyway, Dany's father is not in Modern City, and no one will come to expose him.
As for Dany... isn't it normal for a child to not recognize his father's friends?
In short, the progress of this task can be regarded as beginning to advance.
Just wait for the results.
When Xiaolu was about to leave to hire someone, Angel suddenly thought of something and asked again: "By the way, have you ever heard of a fashionable monster called a 'time radio'?"
Time Radio is the fashion monster that caused Starworm to fall into the challenge space.
When he heard the name "Time Radio", Xiao Lu's expression changed slightly and his brows wrinkled visibly.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaolu shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered some not-so-good memories."
After a pause, Xiao Lu continued: "The Time Radio is a fashionable monster from the Heat Series. From a level perspective, it is considered a mid-level monster."
"However, its number is relatively rare even among mid-level monsters. Because if you want to encounter it, you must go to an environment full of stories."
"But this kind of environment is something you can encounter but cannot seek."
What is an "environment full of stories"? For example, a "haunted house" where a murder has occurred is an environment full of stories.
But even a haunted house may not attract a "time radio".
Because time radios have different personalities, some like to listen to horror stories, so you may encounter it when you go to a haunted house; some like to listen to elegant music, so a piano room that once created famous music may be able to attract it;
If you are interested in gossip, you may encounter it in the streets.
This is the so-called "can be met but not sought".
Everyone has a chance of encountering it, but if you really insist on looking for it, it won't necessarily happen.
Angel: "Listen to what you said, the time radio is a fashionable monster that likes to listen to stories?"
This is quite in line with Starworm's current mission challenges.
Xiao Lu nodded: "Yes, time radio not only likes to listen to stories, but can even hear stories from the 'past'. This is why it is prefixed with 'time'..."
Time Radio has an ability called "Echoes of the Past".
As long as you set up the premise, you can hear the sound of the "past" anywhere.
Let's take the "Haunted House" as an example. After using the "Echoes of the Past" ability of the time radio in the haunted house, you can hear the conversation when the murder occurred.
Although it can only be "listened to" and cannot be "seen", it is also of great reference value for solving cases.
The ability "Echoes of the Past" can not only be used to solve crimes, but can also be used for "investigation".
The reason why Xiao Lu's expression changed suddenly when she heard "Time Radio" was also because of the ability of "Echoes of the Past"...
When they were in the City of Desire, the Cecilia family was living a good life. The reason why they were suddenly exposed to the "bloodline of the Dark-horned Witch" was because someone told some secrets in a place where they shouldn't have spoken. Then, they were
The time radio with the ability to "echo the past" heard it, and then it spread.
In a sense, the time radio was the trigger that led to the demise of Cecilia's family...
…
Until Xiao Lu said goodbye and left, Angel's thoughts still stayed on the "Time Radio".
He had previously thought that the three fashionable monster puzzle pieces given by rumors were all the most basic puzzle pieces and came from low-level monsters.
Because whether it is the Rumor 2 that Starworm completed at the beginning and obtained the Doodle Boy puzzle; or the Rumor 1 that Gleipnir completed and obtained the Faceless Monster puzzle, they are all low-level monsters.
This also caused Angel to misunderstand, thinking that the puzzle pieces given by Rumor Three were also puzzle pieces for low-level monsters.
But now it seems that the levels of puzzles are not completely fixed.
The time radio is a puzzle piece of mid-level monsters...
Moreover, although most of this fashionable monster's abilities are auxiliary abilities, they are also quite powerful.
Especially the ability "Echoes of the Past"!
Even if Angel is the master of the Crystal Plain of Dreams, it is difficult to look back into the past... because he has not yet mastered any time-based power.
