Three Sighs of Flowing Maple quickly wiped his face, but his black face was smeared with dirt. Everyone continued to hold back their laughter. Some of the more patient ones gritted their teeth and said, "Go wash up!"
"Think of something, we can't let them get away!!!!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple roared hysterically and left in a hurry. Everyone looked at each other. In their eyes, their guild leader had always been calm and collected. Who would have thought that such a small matter that didn't affect the big picture would provoke his anger? The human heart was the hardest thing to understand.
Three Sighs of Flowing Maple temporarily left, and the group of people continued to study the hidden lock on the wooden door.
After confirming that no one in the guild had the legendary lockpicking skill, everyone began to discuss the problem of the key. With so many people in such a big guild, there were still some capable people. Someone quickly pointed out that when they arrived, Gu Fei and Sword Ghost had left from a certain place, and Gu Xian was lying in a certain place. Coincidentally, there was an NPC assassin who was sleeping there. Was there a key?
Whether there was a key or not, there was no need to guess. The NPC was always sleeping there, and they would know once they went to take a look. Immediately, a few people ran in that direction. Gu Fei, who had shaken off Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's dust, was peeking through the hole and noticed the situation. "Their reaction is so fast, they seem to have already found out that there's something wrong with the assassin."
Sword Ghost was also startled. "Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Pray that the key hasn't refreshed yet, so they'll think that there's nothing strange there!" Gu Fei said.
"This quest seems quite complicated, and I believe that the quest item won't refresh so quickly!" Sword Ghost replied. As the facts matched Gu Fei's analysis more and more, Sword Ghost began to believe that this quest still existed even though it didn't appear on the list. He was different from Gu Fei's indifference. After all, he was a veteran gamer, so he still cared a little.
"Yes, I hope so. Did you find anything? "Gu Fei said.
"This is the only place left." Sword Ghost looked in front of him. Everything in the small firewood shed had been searched. At this time, the Sword Ghost was staring at the tall pile of firewood in the corner. This was because it was a simulation game! These things could all be moved. Searching this kind of place was actually quite tiring. It was not like before, when you moved the mouse up and found that the shape had changed. Now, you had to be a laborer.
Everything went as Gu Fei and the Sword Ghoul had hoped. The players who touched the sleeping Assassin didn't find anything. They could only continue to rack their brains to do mental work. Meanwhile, Gu Fei and the Sword Ghoul were sweating profusely as they did their physical work. Finally, the Sword Ghost, who had been working hard to move firewood without complaint, made a discovery. He shouted excitedly, "I've got it!"
On the other side, Gu Fei quickly dropped what he was doing and came over. He found that there was a cellar under the pile of firewood that the Sword Ghost had moved away. The two of them swiftly cleared away the firewood and were stunned. The cellar was a cellar, but it was a locked cellar.
The Sword Ghost squatted down and pulled the lock. The lock was firm. He tried to open the door of the woodshed, but the size did not match.
"Let's search!" Gu Fei said as he rummaged through the pile of firewood. The other places had been carefully searched. If there was a key, it could only be in this pile of firewood. Unfortunately, luck had left them this time. The pile of firewood was thoroughly searched, but there was nothing to show for it.
"How do we do this …" Gu Fei flipped open the diary and looked for clues. The Sword Ghoul was so tired that he was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. He looked at the ceiling and suddenly had a thought. Could it be that the two keys are also on the sleeping assassin, but these two keys respawned at different times, so the players picked them up and messed things up. That's why I can't get two keys at once.
"That's possible." Gu Fei nodded, then said, "But in the near future, no one will come to this place except for players looking at it through the fog. If there really is a key, it's likely that it's in their hands. Unless the key's refresh time is many days, and it's picked up by someone else before they start their quest …"
"Oh no!" The Sword Ghost suddenly shouted. "It looks like we didn't find anything during the search just now, but now that we've discovered something suspicious, we'll definitely be discussing it in the guild. With so many people in the guild, someone must've discovered this NPC. Moreover, the person who happened to find the key is probably on his way here right now!"
"That's not necessarily true." Gu Fei said, "I've looked into the situation of this courtyard. Before the Flower in the Fog quest started, the only clear and transparent space in the city was their largest trade market. But the backyard space was limited. Look at the flowers, grass, and trees. Although the environment is good, it's not a public square, and it's far from the main entrance, so it has always been quiet. Even after the Flower in the Fog quest took over, there was no one guarding the backyard. It wasn't until I climbed over the wall and entered the backyard that people began to set up here. "
"You can only guarantee that there won't be many people who have the chance to touch this key. But in the past few days, there have been people who have been active here. I can guarantee you that if such an NPC is found, there will definitely be a lot of players who will come to investigate," the Sword Ghost said.
"So, it's possible that the person who sees through the fog might get the key?" Gu Fei said.
"It's very likely. Moreover, he might already be here, unless he's not online right now."
"Wait, if he found this key, of course he'll think about how to use it. Also, this small locked woodshed is a pretty obvious target, right?" Gu Fei said.
Without waiting for the Sword Ghost to reply, Gu Fei had already started to examine the woodshed. "Although the system has always been very shameless, isn't it a bit too much to hide a cellar under a pile of firewood?"
The Sword Ghost turned his head. There was no need to discuss the system's shamelessness. He understood what Gu Fei meant. "You're saying that after this guy touched the key, he realized that it was used to open the woodshed, and he also discovered this cellar. He suspected that there was something good inside, but unfortunately, he couldn't open it and couldn't get it, so he hid it under the pile of firewood?"
Gu Fei nodded. "That's why he buried it without leaving any clues."
"Yes! That's very possible. " The Sword Ghost understood the psychology of all kinds of players. "If that's the case, this guy definitely won't come out at this time."
"Uh … I think that this person is very scheming. He will definitely come out at this time!"
"Why?"
"Because the longer we stay here, the more likely we'll find the cellar he hid. Moreover, he'll be worried that we're actually here for the cellar, so he'll be in a hurry to get rid of us, right?" Gu Fei said.
"Then isn't his actions a bit too slow?"
"So it's very likely like you said, he's not online right now," Gu Fei said.
The Sword Ghost was silent for three seconds. "Then what's our conclusion after analyzing so much?"
"We're temporarily safe, but we have to leave as soon as possible. Right now is the peak time for players to come online, so we don't know when this person will come, "Gu Fei said.
"Leaving is a bit difficult …" The Sword Ghost glanced out through the hole again. They were surrounded.
"Come, let's clean up this place." Gu Fei pointed at the cellar. "When that guy comes online and hears that someone entered the woodshed, he'll definitely be suspicious and come to take a look. If he finds out that the cellar has been touched, he'll probably strengthen his defenses, which is disadvantageous to us. If he finds out that it hasn't been touched, the situation will remain the same, which should be better. "
The Sword Ghost said as he moved the firewood, "What if he remembers the original shape?"
Gu Fei was speechless. "If he's really that meticulous, then I'll have to give it to him …"
The two quickly piled up the firewood, hid the cellar, and clapped their hands. At the moment, there was no hope of opening the cellar, and there was a danger that someone could open the door and enter at any time, so there was no time to waste. It was necessary to leave as soon as possible.
The two of them were very busy. Gu Fei observed the other person's movements through the hole to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of, while the Sword Ghost explained the situation to the Han Family's young master in detail to see if he could get any help from the outside.
"Won't they come out if they die?" The Han Family's young master always wanted to taunt them first.
The Sword Ghost, who was used to this, ignored it calmly and continued talking about business. "Right now, I estimate that there are about three hundred people outside." The number of people he could observe from the small hole was limited. The Sword Ghost estimated based on the density of the people's positions and his memory of the outside space.
"Let Qian Li kill them all!" The Han Family's young master continued to taunt.
"Do you have any ideas?" The Sword Ghost continued to ignore him.
"Not at the moment. You didn't explain the situation clearly … I have to at least observe the whole situation," the Han Family's young master said.
"There's no time," the Sword Ghost said. "The other person might open the door with the key at any time."
"If we really can't do it, let's just forcefully log off first …"
"I think that's a good idea," Gu Fei interrupted.
This was actually a taunt from the Han Family's young master, but Gu Fei agreed with it. The Han Family's young master and the Sword Ghost were both shocked. However, the Sword Ghost would never consider forcefully logging off even if he was beaten to death.
"How about this, Qian Li will go all out and attract their attention. You take the opportunity to sneak out. One dead is better than two dead, "the Han Family's young master suggested again.
"That works too." Gu Fei nodded again.
"Absolutely not!" If he let the Sword Ghost attract the enemy's attention and cover their escape, he would do it without hesitation. However, he would feel bad if he let others sacrifice themselves for him.
"Then let's just kill them directly. We'll kill as many as we can. If we can get out, we'll do it. If we can't, we'll just die." Gu Fei began to simplify the complicated problem.
"Agreed. Who says we'll definitely die? "The Sword Ghost was fired up.
"We'll definitely die, but it depends on how many we can kill before we die." Gu Fei was not interested in imaginary miracles. He was fully aware of the extent of his strength in this situation. Do you want to kill your way out without dying? That is, unless you have unlimited magical power.
"Alright … You two just wait. There will be a chance." The Han Family's young master suddenly threw out a sentence.
