"There's a name here too, Angus!" Slim Waist Dance also found something on the paper she was in charge of.
"Uh, I don't think anyone would think that the monster is a woman, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then it's obvious that he is Angus, Gilkino's assistant as well as Gilkino's student. The girl named Courtney mentioned here is also a student of Gilkino. They should be a couple, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Really? I can't really tell from the paper! "Gu Fei said.
Xi Xiaotian pulled out a piece of paper from her hand and shoved it in front of Gu Fei's eyes. On it were "I love you", "I love you too" and other mushy words.
"Students these days are really amazing." Gu Fei said.
"This one, look at this one." Imperial Shenming found something else.
"Angus, I think this project isn't right, can we not continue?"
"Haha, don't worry, the teacher has already found a solution."
"Oh? What is it? "
"I'll only tell you in secret, it's magic. Do you believe it? It's such a magical thing. "
"Magic? I feel even more uneasy. "
"It'll be fine, trust me."
"Oh." Xi Xiaotian nodded, "The story is getting more and more clear, isn't it? It's probably because of this project, that Gilkino guy used some magic he shouldn't have, or some accident happened, or maybe Angus was a victim in his plan, causing this terrifying change. "
"Look at this... it's so pitiful." Slim Waist Dance held up a stack of paper and passed it to everyone.
"This part seems different from the paper before." Xi Xiaotian said.
"But the handwriting is the same, this is no longer the same as before." Imperial Shenming said.
"It's Angus's handwriting, but it seems a little different." Gu Fei also flipped through it.
"I think he's already changed, he can no longer find Courtney, so he can only write on the paper alone, uh, to express his longing..." Slim Waist Dance said.
"The handwriting is getting more and more messy." Xi Xiaotian flipped through it one by one, "It seems like this change is making it harder for him to maintain a normal consciousness."
"How pitiful! Even so, he still can't forget his Courtney. "Slim Waist Dance said and looked at Gu Fei," You're the murderer. "
"Hey! You almost threw up when you saw him, "Gu Fei reminded Slender Waist Dance.
"That doesn't affect my sympathy for him," Slender Waist Dance said.
"Okay … Actually, that's not the main point. The main point should be the project mentioned here. Perhaps it's the hole at the bottom of Yunjiao Lake. There must be some secret," Gu Fei said.
"The murderer …" Slim Waist Dance was still immersed in the story.
"That's just a string of data!" Gu Fei said.
"There must be something behind that cave, there's no doubt about that. These little pieces of paper can only prove this point, but there are no hints on how to unravel this secret. Perhaps we should go take a look at the cave? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Impossible." Gu Fei shook his head.
"Why?"
"Because it was underwater, and humans need to breathe," Gu Fei told her.
"Then this mission, looking for Gilkino and Angus might be to obtain the method to reach that place," Xi Xiaotian said. "Perhaps we shouldn't have killed him …"
"I didn't kill him." Gu Fei shrugged. "Those players did."
"Or perhaps after killing him, some important clue or item will drop from his body."
"Then it looks like we won't get it either." Gu Fei turned his head to look into the distance. The sea of players had drowned Angus. Even if he dropped something, it would have been picked up by the players. With so many players, finding and retrieving the item would be extremely difficult.
"But these pieces of paper gave us another clue," Xi Xiaotian said.
"You mean, this Courtney?" Gu Fei said.
"That's right. From the contents of the notes where Angus missed Courtney, it was obvious that Courtney was not dead. Angus just didn't dare to see her again because of what had happened to him because of the project. The only people who know about this project are Gilkino, Angus, and Courtney. Courtney might know the least, but she's our only choice, at least for now, "Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded and flipped through the paper in his hand. "But there's no mention of where to find her. Looking for someone again … I hate looking for people. "
"At least she's just an NPC. It's much more convenient than looking for players," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Wait, wait, wait." Gu Fei suddenly thought of something. "The empty house by the Cloud Suburb Lake, who lived there? Who would come to live here for no reason? Of course, I'm saying if it wasn't a random set up by the system, but if there was a story behind it. "
"In the fireplace of the wooden house, there were some burnt ashes. Among them was a piece of paper that marked the entrance to the cave at the bottom of the Cloud Suburb Lake. Someone did research on this project there. Who could it be?"
"Maybe it's Gilgino. He once led the players on the siege side to that place. Maybe it's the place where they researched the project. But it could also be Courtney. She once lived there and researched the project. What is she trying to do? From the contents of the paper, she didn't seem to be involved in this project. She was only worried about Angus, "Gu Fei said.
"Now that you mention it, it seems like we should go there and take a look," Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's not a good idea. That place … might have been ambushed by Lord Han. He knows that our quest is related to that place," Gu Fei said.
"Courtney … Where can we find this NPC? Look through the paper again and see if there are any clues. I'll send a message to the Sword Specter in the city and ask them to keep an eye out for an NPC with this name. "
"Okay …" They nodded and went their separate ways. But after looking through the paper again, there was no more information on Courtney. Xi Xiaotian's gaze had already shifted to the necklace. She looked left and right. "This necklace should be Courtney's, right?"
"Or maybe it's something that Angus wanted to give but didn't. How pitiful, "Slender Waist Dance said.
"Perhaps this is the key to finding Courtney." Xi Xiaotian handed the necklace to Gu Fei.
"Huh?"
"Take this relic and ask your mission issuer," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Hmm, it seems like we should go back and ask." Gu Fei nodded.
"Let's go to the Cloud Suburb Lake and see if there's an ambush," Xi Xiaotian said.
"What if we're discovered?" Imperial Shenming knew how terrifying it would be if Lord Han wanted to ambush them.
"Then we'll just die once. It's no big deal," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then let's split up for now," Gu Fei said.
On the side of the siege, the four guild leaders were sitting together with Ye Xiaowu. They wanted to see what this inexplicably confident little Cleric was capable of.
"Simply put! A Thousand Miles Drunk. He's currently in the middle of a quest that has a high chance of causing the siege of Cloud City to fail, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"What? That's not fair. Why should we all fail when he can complete a quest alone?" The four guild leaders were all anxious.
"Both the siege and the defense have these decisive quests. And these quests are actually two-way quests. But the problem is that there aren't any major cities with defending players. Furthermore, there aren't any major cities where the defending players have the upper hand in a two-way quest. Honestly speaking, would you believe it? A two-way quest, one person against two hundred thousand people, the one with the upper hand is one person, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"He's not one person," Unsworn Sword said.
"I know. He's even created a guild, right? That's why you should feel even more pressure. If he wins this two-way quest … … "
"Wait, you said that this quest is decisive and two-way. Does that mean that if we defeat him in this quest and complete it, we'll also win the siege war?" Countercurrent suddenly asked. "That's right. You're right. You're right.
"Even if we don't complete it, we won't be too far from victory. Don't you know? The siege of your neighbor, Moonlit City, has already ended, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"What?"
"They completed this type of quest. In the siege, they received help from the Wolfman Army. Moonlit City has already been conquered by them." Ye Xiaowu said, "Maybe you guys should take a break and look at the forums. There are quite a few other major cities that are nearing the end of their battles. Their experiences in this area are worth learning from."
"They didn't cause trouble for Thousand Miles Drunk, right? According to what you said, we also received a similar quest. If it wasn't for A Thousand Miles Drunk playing a two-way game with us, we would've already completed it and won the city war, right? "Against the Current said.
"That's why I appeared. Thousand Miles Drunk shouldn't have appeared and caused so much trouble for everyone," Ye Xiaowu said.
When the four guild leaders heard this, their expressions all changed.
"What do you mean? Thousand Miles Drunk is actually a bug? He's not human? "
"No wonder, I felt that guy was inhumane. So it was a system error?"
"What about Young Master's elite group? Are they also human? "
"How is that possible? Have you never heard of Sword Ghost, Imperial God Ming, and these people? These guys clearly discovered a bug and used it to their advantage. Damn, what's the difference between this and using a cheat? "
Ye Xiaowu was dumbfounded. He was deeply impressed by the imagination of the four guild leaders. After a while, he came back to his senses and interrupted their argument, "Wait, that's not what I meant. Thousand Miles Drunk is a normal player, it's not a system error or anything like that."
"Then … what do you mean by he shouldn't have appeared?" Unsworn Sword asked.
"It means that he's too strong. There shouldn't be such a strong character in the game. His strength has completely destroyed the balance of the game because it's hard to imagine a normal player reaching his level." Ye Xiaowu said.
"The game doesn't allow players to be too strong? What kind of rule is that? Wait, who are you? "The four guild leaders were all shocked. Even though Thousand Miles Drunk had caused them a lot of trouble and made them grit their teeth at the mention of this character, in reality, Thousand Miles Drunk was the hope of every player. No player wouldn't be envious of Thousand Miles Drunk, and no one wouldn't wish to have that kind of strength. But now, there was someone telling you that the game didn't allow such strength to appear. This was equivalent to destroying everyone's dreams and goals. Even though rational people understood that they wouldn't be able to reach such heights, at least it was still a beautiful dream. Now that there was someone telling you that this dream wasn't real, who didn't know? But it was too cruel to say it out loud.
"No, no … I didn't mean it that way." Ye Xiaowu hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, Thousand Miles Drunk's strength isn't built on the game's settings. Don't you know that? He's a real martial artist with strong combat skills, so he has an absolute advantage against normal players. He doesn't even need equipment or game skills to defeat many people. This kind of existence is what I mean: strength that shouldn't exist. "
"You still haven't answered us. Who are you?" The four asked. "Are you from the game company?"
"No." Ye Xiaowu flatly denied, "I just can't stand his strength. I think it's unfair."
"Oh, then what can you do? You just said that his strength isn't built on the game's settings. So, unless his account is deleted, who can stop his strength? "Countercurrent said.
"I can't stop his strength, but at least I can stop his strength from affecting other players. That's what I want to do." Ye Xiaowu said.
"For example, are you going to help us win the city war now?" Countercurrent asked.
"No, I just want to stop him from using his strength to destroy your mission." Ye Xiaowu insisted.
"Forgive me for being blunt," Countercurrent said, "You're just a little priest with ordinary equipment who hasn't even changed classes. Where do you get the confidence to fight against A Thousand Miles Drunk?"
"If what he has is power, then what I have is knowledge, game knowledge." Ye Xiaowu said.
"You said you're not from the game company." Countercurrent said.
"Yes, I'm not …" Ye Xiaowu said.
"Oh … I see." Countercurrent wasn't stupid, "You're from the game company, but in a sense, you can say that you're not. Are you playing with words?"
"This question isn't actually important." Ye Xiaowu said.
"You have the knowledge, and then borrow our strength to stop A Thousand Miles Drunk, is that right?" Against the Current said.
"That's right."
"Okay, let's begin!" Countercurrent was happy. He clearly showed more enthusiasm than the other three guild leaders. The reason was simple. He had already realized what the two-way mission Ye Xiaowu was talking about was, and this mission happened to be in the hands of his guild thirty miles away. If they stopped A Thousand Miles Drunk, no matter what the outcome was, they would definitely have a big breakthrough in their mission. For Singing With Wine, it was quite profitable.
The other three guild leaders also thought of the same thing as Countercurrent, and at this moment, they didn't feel good. They were more than happy to destroy A Thousand Miles Drunk and ruin his mission, but when they thought of how Countercurrent picked up a big bargain after they completed everything, everyone immediately felt unhappy. When they worked together before, they didn't think that dealing with A Thousand Miles Drunk would have such a big stake.
"Come on, use your knowledge and tell us what to do." Countercurrent was obviously a little excited at this moment.
"At least I have to first understand how far both sides have gone with the mission." Ye Xiaowu said.
The other three guild leaders looked at Countercurrent together.
"Ahem." Countercurrent coughed and explained the situation of their mission along the way.
"What a twist." Ye Xiaowu said, "See, this is the mission during the city war. The degree of freedom is quite high, and in fact, there are many branches that can lead to the final outcome. You may not have a mission in your mission list, but if the corresponding conditions are met, it can also be considered completed, and it can also lead to the next stage of the mission."
"Oh, is that so?" The eyes of Unsworn Sword and the other two lit up when they heard this.
"Oh, is that so?" The same words came out of Countercurrent's mouth, but the mood was completely different. He felt that it was a pity that this mission couldn't be enjoyed by his guild alone.
"Gilkino is already dead. Is this his current state?"
"Yes. He previously said that he needs us to find the things that were taken from his house. What should we do?" Countercurrent asked.
"If Gilkino is dead … then the contents of A Thousand Miles Drunk will also change. He will probably go find Angus." Ye Xiaowu muttered to himself.
"Angus? Who is Angus?" The other three guild leaders were excited.
"He is Gilkino's assistant, and also one of the clues for this mission." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Wait, there's a situation. A Thousand Miles Drunk has been found in the Cloud Mine!" Mudi suddenly said.
"I also reported it. Teleportation. It's definitely him." Unsworn Sword also said.
"Is he already there?" Ye Xiaowu said.
"Angus is there?"
"Yes." Ye Xiaowu nodded.
"What will happen next?" the other four asked.
"That depends on how he deals with it. Perhaps we should go there as well." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Let's hurry." The guild leaders gathered their troops, and Countercurrent was depressed that his previous question had been ignored. At this time, he took the opportunity to ask again, "I say, how should we progress on my side?"
"There are a lot of clues. Use your brain." Ye Xiaowu patted him, and the people that Unsworn Sword had gathered were ready to set off. However, they were all a group of people with short legs. The various guilds had already sent their speed classes to check out the situation.
"Angus … If A Thousand Miles Drunk activates Battle Mode, then it will be interesting. Perhaps we can defeat him." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Oh, he definitely will." Unsworn Sword nodded. He also had a small understanding of Gu Fei. If there was a place to fight, this person would definitely choose to fight. Otherwise, why would everyone think that he was inhumane?
In the end, when this group of people with short legs were halfway there, they received a report from the frontlines. "A Thousand Miles Drunk escaped. A strange and disgusting creature was killed by the players."
