After seeing Feng Yu off and Lu Tiao returning home, the living room had already been tidied up.
The kitchen is clean and everything looks brand new.
The most troublesome step of cooking has been taken care of. Lu Tian was a little excited and wanted to cook more often in the future.
But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After tasting Feng Yu's food and Feng Yu's food, Lu Tan felt that his instant noodles were not fragrant at all.
Although it was once considered a food broadcaster, Lu Jian actually only knows Lu's old recipes, and the taste of the food he makes can only be said to be just okay, mainly because of the good ingredients.
He watched the countdown clock in the Spring Festival Gala and heard the faint sound of the countdown coming from the community. At midnight, the New Year's bell rang, and there was joy and peace.
The song "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded. Lu Tian's phone vibrated several times. He glanced at it and saw that they were all blessing messages.
What's rare is that most of the people who sent blessing messages to Lu Tan were not group messages, and it was obvious that they were all typed by hand.
For example, Qin Tiantian included her New Year's Eve dinner, which was different from the Jiangcheng taste that Lu Tan had today. Hers was mainly spicy. Even the stir-fried Chinese cabbage had pickled peppers, which looked very spicy, so maybe this
That’s why her skin is so good!
Feng Yu sent a message that she had arrived home safely, along with a blessing. It was very simple, but Lu Tan was very doubtful about what would happen to her that would prevent her from getting home safely.
As for Song Yunyan, Li Zijian and others, they also simply sent messages.
What surprised Lu Tian was that two police comrades, He Youwu and Chen Danshen, also sent messages.
[Moveless]: Thank you for your hard work!
He replied that it would not be easy for the two police comrades during this Chinese New Year, and they might have to go on duty.
You can't cause trouble to them yourself.
Within ten minutes, Lu Tan had replied to all the messages.
He has few friends and no family.
Being able to have New Year's Eve dinner with Feng Yu today is enough to feel like celebrating the New Year.
After an uneventful night, Lu Tan got up in the morning and took a look at the system.
[Number of travelers: 2/1]
[The conditions for starting the mission have been met]
[Whether to start the task]
[Travelers will enter the Quiet Place after confirming their participation]
"It's all ready in one night?"
If there were two, Drizzt and Shia must have agreed.
Lu Tan was still a little moved.
After all, they still don’t know what the mission is, so the two of them accepted Lu Jian’s invitation. It seems that there is still true love in the Silent Land.
"Let me take a look at the mission."
On the table in front of Lu Tan, a tattered book appeared. The book was not very thick, and looked like a novel bought in a bookstore.
This book is illusory yet real, and seems incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Um?"
Lu Tan felt a little strange, why there was only one book.
Under normal circumstances, there should be three options for him to choose from.
Could it be that there are different tasks in the open book?
He glanced at the cover of the book. It showed a man who had fallen into madness. His loss of reason had changed his appearance. His face was distorted, and his body was showing movements that were not human. He seemed to be mumbling something, Lu Jian.
It's like hearing the murmurs from the evil god. As long as you look at this cover a few more times, you will feel dizzy, your heart will palpitate, and you will feel dizzy.
Lu Tiao opened the book, and on the yellowed pages, the system's cold and indifferent words appeared as if they were scrawled with a pen.
[The Mouth of a Madman]
[All truth is illusion, all delusion is reality]
[The upper class society in the abandoned capital is, of course, indispensable for endless banquets, mellow grape juice, and romantic stories]
[The most famous novelist left the manuscript of his new book missing. It was a maddening masterpiece, an immortal chapter that fascinated everyone who saw it, but no one knows the ending]
[You accept the commission to investigate this case, but all kinds of strange atmosphere are hinting to you that this is not an ordinary disappearance case]
[Task Difficulty: Optional]
[Task requirement: Search for the missing novelist]
[Task requirement: Witness the ending of the story]
["A masterpiece, a perfect masterpiece, there is no doubt that this will change the world!"]
Lu Tiao turned back the page, but did not see any other mission options.
Suddenly, the words on the page changed again.
[Side mission props detected, mission changed]
[Task Difficulty: Alienation]
[Task requirement: Search for the missing novelist]
[Task requirement: Witness the ending of the story]
[Task requirement: Find Du Danping’s melody fragments]
"Is it the place Du Danping has been to?"
Lu Tun was surprised and confirmed a few things.
"This is in the ruined city, Drizzt's own foreign land?"
"It's difficult to be alienated, and you're in an abandoned city. I don't know what you'll encounter?"
"But it seems like you won't be attacked by monsters in the abandoned city?"
"Looking for someone, this Shia should be able to be found directly using the detection technique?"
However, this sudden change in the difficulty of alienation made Lu Tan feel a little nervous.
In his own words, the difficulty level is almost the same, and he'll be done with it.
But this time I brought my teammates with me. If Drizzt and Shia couldn't bear the difficulty of the alienation mission and something went wrong, then Lu Tan, who invited them, would feel a little guilty.
"At this point, we can only do our best to prepare."
Lu Tiao thought.
Since it is a difficult level that I have never encountered before, I need to collect more information first.
After all, after refining [Last Words], Lu Tian doesn't have many Silence Points in his body now, and the support he can provide is limited. No matter how many props he buys, it's not as good as Drizzt finding a way to fire a cannon or Shia using a magic spell.
So what Lu Tan can do is to use his advantage to fire more [Madman's Knowledge] to get more information about this mission.
According to Lu Tran's experience, after the mission is determined, [Madman's Knowledge] will have a higher probability of drawing the corresponding mission, or information about the foreign land corresponding to the mission.
Having determined his policy, he immediately bought a shot of [Madman's Knowledge] at half price.
This time, what appeared in Lu Jian's hand was a human skull, which was no different from the one in the medical textbook.
This skull has a sticky feel, as if it is covered with a layer of grease, but when actually touched, it only feels smooth.
There is no fire burning in the bones, and there is no black mist. It is empty inside, like a granary that has been eaten clean by moths.
Lu Tan crushed the skull.
In an instant, countless gibberish echoed in his ears.
"...This is the best work, this is the supreme masterpiece. Believe me, as long as you have read even one page of this manuscript, you will not refute my opinion..."
"... He is talented and romantic, but why did he disappear? Could it be that he was tired of the turmoil of fame and fortune and wanted a pure environment..."
"...He is not your father, you do not have such a father..."
"...I think this kind of manuscript may not have a perfect ending. Do you know this feeling? The feeling of being tortured by inspiration to the point of madness and helplessness. I believe he is the same. Maybe this is what he is missing.
reason......"
"...No matter what, I just want to confirm his manuscript. As long as it can ensure this novel, then it will definitely be possible, it will be..."
"...I didn't write these stories, but these stories got into my head. They already existed there. I just happened to pick up these words..."
Countless gibberish burned, rolled, and exploded in Lu Tiao's mind.
The next moment, thick black blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. His whole body seemed to be crawling with ants, his skin bulged and shrank, and his whole body was twisted and deformed.
