Chen Chen's expression was uncertain. He thought for a while, turned around, went downstairs, and walked into the shadows.
Time passed by. Chen Chen waited for a while. When he saw the sun gradually sinking into the horizon and only the afterglow was left, he finally stepped out of the castle and came to the street.
The castle maintained a certain distance from the surrounding buildings, and was surrounded by an open space without any cover. The moat under the castle had long dried up and was buried in dust, so it was easy to cross it with a light step.
Chen Chen stood in the open space outside the castle. He thought for a while and levitated directly, but when he rose to the height of three floors, his head seemed to hit something and there was a bang.
Chen Chen rubbed his head. He tried to touch the top of his head, but only felt a cold hard object.
Chen Chen looked even more surprised. He tried to extend his Field energy upward and the Field energy immediately extended upward, but when his body touched it, he touched an invisible boundary.
In other words, the only place that could exceed three floors was inside the castle.
Therefore, Chen Chen only hovered slightly above the roof and stopped rising. He began to fly toward the front of the castle.
"Whoosh!"
There was a whistling sound of wind in his ears, but Chen Chen's speed was not fast because most of the buildings in the city were two or three stories high. To avoid hitting the buildings in front of him, his speed was forced to be reduced to less than fifty meters per second.
Although the speed could not be accelerated to supersonic, Chen Chen only spent less than a minute to reach the edge of the city. At the same time, a towering wall appeared in front of him.
The wall was about thirty meters high and stretched from in front of him to the end of his line of sight. Obviously, this wall directly enclosed the entire city.
Unlike the dilapidated buildings in the city, this wall was obviously made of an unknown material. The whole body was non-reflective black and looked extremely hard.
In the middle of the wall, there was a steel gate of the same height. The gate was dark red and there was even a row of numbered buttons on both sides of the gate.
Was this a password lock?
Chen Chen looked even more surprised. Seeing a password lock in a medieval-style city was like seeing a group of knights in plate armor carrying an AK instead of a longsword. It was very strange.
Chen Chen did not consider the problem of the password first. He tried to rise again, wanting to see what was behind the wall, but when he rose to the same height as the wall, he came into contact with the invisible barrier again.
Emmmm …
Chen Chen immediately understood that this space was sealed. Everyone was only allowed to move within the boundaries of this space. No one was allowed to leave by any means other than opening the door.
Clearly, this rule not only restricted Chen Chen but also restricted the group of people from leaving this place.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen could not help but wear a strange expression. Based on the way this type of game worked, in order to obtain the password to open the door, he would have to solve the puzzle. However, the opponent only had an IQ of 5...
Chen Chen once again recalled the character summon card produced in the consciousness battlefield. Previously, there was a [3D6] prompt above the attributes of the character. This value could only be understood by those who had played in a team. It represented the value of three hexahedral dice. The D represented the number of dice, the 3 in front meant that the number of dice was three, and the 6 represented that each die was hexahedral, which was the most common cube die.
It was precisely because of this that the evaluation given after Chen Chen's IQ of 18 was "the limit of humanity". This was because the highest number that could be rolled by the three hexahedral dice was only 18 points, and the average value of a normal person was only 9 to 11 points.
The reason why Chen Chen's other attributes could exceed 18 points was that Chen Chen was not a normal human. He was a T-virus biochemical person.
Moreover, the difference between these values was not as simple as 1 + 1 = 2. It was an exponential calculation. Comparing Chen Chen's 21 points of Strength to a normal person's 11 points of Strength, the difference could be more than ten times.
The higher the value, the greater the difference.
If the character summon card produced in the consciousness battlefield was the real data of the character, then it would be more difficult than reaching the sky for the Consciousness Stealer to solve the puzzle within 24 hours.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen immediately thought of a special ability of the opponent – Mind Reading 99.
As the name suggested, Mind Reading was one of the abilities possessed by the Consciousness Stealer. If the opponent wanted to obtain the password, they could either hide among the group of adventurers or obtain it from the minds of the group of adventurers. The 99 behind this skill represented the level of the skill.
Group games were all similar. The meaning of this skill was to throw five dice with twenty faces. The level of the skill was that as long as the sum of the five dice was less than the skill's level, the skill would be considered a success. Otherwise, it would be a failure.
For example, if Chen Chen's psychology was 77, then as long as the sum of the five dice was less than 77, it would be considered a success, but if it was more than 77, it would be considered a failure.
In this way, the higher the level, the higher the success rate. Level 99 was the maximum level. Unless one was extremely unlucky and rolled the full 100 points, it would be considered a failure.
Moreover, the opponent's mind reading was 99, which meant that it was almost impossible to determine a failure.
In other words, the opponent might be able to open the door using other methods such as mind reading?
When Chen Chen speculated about this, the sky had completely darkened and the entire city was plunged into darkness.
"Something's not right..."
However, Chen Chen frowned because he found that the speed at which the sky turned dark was a little too fast. Based on his brain power, he was sure that only about half an hour had passed since he regained consciousness, but the time seemed to have been sped up by about three times.
Three times, was it?
Chen Chen secretly remembered this data. This mission gave him 24 hours. If it was calculated at three times the speed of real time, that meant that he had three nights to pursue these targets, and each night was about three to four hours.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen had figured out some of the patterns. He turned around again and looked toward the city, only to see a flash of light in a building not far away.
That was... The light of a candle!
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen's heart leaped. His figure rushed directly toward the building, and within a few seconds, he was outside the building!
"Tap, tap..."
Suddenly, there were a few chaotic footsteps in this small two-story building, as if someone was fleeing.
"Did they find me?"
Chen Chen's expression became even more surprised. He rushed directly into the room through the window, then with a push of his feet, his whole body leaped down the stairs like a nimble cat. Suddenly, a young man wearing a black trench coat, dressed like an explorer, was blocked at the door.
This was a typical Westerner young man with a high nose bridge, blond hair, and blue eyes, but his skin was slightly tanned. At this time, when he saw Chen Chen blocking in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned around and ran into the room inside without thinking.
Chen Chen observed the other person with great interest, only to find that whether it was in terms of decisiveness or agility, they were far superior to ordinary people, obviously very skilled.
However, against Chen Chen, there was no room for this kind of agility at all. He had just run into the room inside and was just about to jump through the window to escape, but in the next second, he felt an invisible force pulling him back in front of Chen Chen again!
Seeing this, the young man's eyes finally erupted with a fierce look. He pulled out the short sword at his waist and directly stabbed at Chen Chen!
"Clang! “
There was a crisp sound of impact. When the short sword in the young man's hand stabbed in front of Chen Chen, it was blocked by an invisible barrier and at the same time, a crisp sound erupted.
"Attacked by short sword, initiating defense test... Defense test successful!"
At the moment when the other party attacked Chen Chen, the loud voice from before rang in Chen Chen's mind again. At the same time, there was a clanging sound of dice falling to the ground as if someone was rolling dice, followed by the notification that the defense was successful.
While Chen Chen listened to the voice in his mind, at the same time, he waved one hand and the other party's short sword flew directly out!
The young man only felt an unquestionable force coming from the short sword in his hand. His short sword fell from his hand and at the same time, a cold hand directly grabbed his neck!
"Do you want to live or do you want to die?"
Chen Chen calmly grabbed the other party's neck and at the same time asked in a low voice, "If you want to live, you must answer my question."
Feeling the terrible power contained in the other party's hand, the young man clutched Chen Chen's hand so tightly that his face turned purple. He quickly nodded.
Chen Chen loosened his grip and the young man suddenly squatted down, covered his throat, and coughed heavily.
Chen Chen waited slowly until the other party recovered, then he asked indifferently, "Who are you people?"
"We, we're explorers from the Asadin Duchy..."
The young man lowered his head in fear and said softly, "We were commissioned by the Mercenary Guild to come here to find the treasure of the Vampire Count Dulles Chen..."
Dulles Chen, could it be him?
Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat and at the same time, he stared at the other party with an inexplicable gaze.
"Using psychological skill, initiating skill authentication... Psychological authentication successful!"
In the next second, there was another clanging sound in his ears. At the same time, Chen Chen also had a realization that the other party's words were not false.
"Asadin Duchy, Mercenary Guild..."
Chen Chen paced slowly in front of the other party. "Treasure hunt? I'm afraid you still have a mission to eliminate me? "
Hearing this, the young man immediately lowered his head and fell silent.
"How many people do you have and how strong are you?"
Chen Chen then asked.
"We have a total of four teams, a total of twenty people..."
The young man immediately replied, "The strength of the members of the other teams is unknown. I only know that my team has five people. In addition to me, there are two paladins, a wizard, and a priest... Our captain is the paladin Julius!"
"Paladin? Wizard? "
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the young man in front of him again. "Are you a ranger or a rogue?"
"Your Excellency, I'm a rogue, rogue Gil Cedric."
Chen Chen nodded and then continued to ask, "Are you familiar with the others?"
"Not very. We were all temporarily formed by the Mercenary Guild's commission."
The young man suddenly added, "By the way, Your Excellency, the two paladins are together. They have the ability to protect against evil and are a great threat to you!"
"Oh?"
Chen Chen secretly remembered the other party's words and then asked again, "Are the other teams the same configuration?"
"There's not much difference..."
The young man nodded.
"Have you seen a strange person in your team or any other team?"
After thinking about it, Chen Chen finally asked, "For example, his intelligence is not high or he looks strange or something?"
"This..."
The young man shook his head blankly. "I don't know about this because I only met the other team once before I came to Wasteland City."
"Wasteland City?"
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice and gradually fell into contemplation.
"Your Excellency, please, please forgive my offense..."
Seeing that Chen Chen was lost in thought, the young man gritted his teeth, trying to fight for the last chance of survival. "As long as you let me go, I'm willing to leave now..."
However, before he finished speaking, Chen Chen suddenly raised his hand. In the next second, the young man suddenly seemed to be hit hard. His body slammed backward and then directly hit the wall behind him!
"Boom!"
The entire building seemed to tremble. Fine strands of soil shook off the roof and at the same time, a lot of blood sprayed. The young man directly hit the wall behind him and became a pool of mud...
"It's not it..."
Without looking at the body of the other party, Chen Chen shook his head and stared thoughtfully out the window. "It's really a Western fantasy module similar to DND. There are even professions such as paladins and wizards. So, I'm not facing a group of ordinary people?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's Field energy directly swept across the entire room. In the next second, he immediately sensed a locked room upstairs.
Chen Chen went upstairs again and walked to the door of the room, but saw that there were many traces of damage on the door lock of the room and the traces were very fresh. Obviously, it was done by the young man just now.
It seemed that the other party used candlelight to illuminate and wanted to open this door, but in the end, he was discovered by Chen Chen?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen extended a trace of Field directly, as if it turned into a thin line and stretched into the keyhole of the door. In the next second, there was a click and the door lock of the door opened.
Chen Chen used Field to protect himself and at the same time, gently pushed the door open, but saw that the door was empty, only an iron box placed in the corner.
This was...
With a wave of Chen Chen's hand, the iron box in the corner suddenly opened, revealing a yellowed cloth inside.
Chen Chen turned the cloth over and saw that there was a plan drawn on the cloth.
The plan showed the appearance of the city where Chen Chen was and the drawing was quite detailed. Every street and every house was marked and in the center of the map, a big circle was outlined with a red pen.
This circle was the location of Chen Chen's castle.
Obviously, this was a prop for this group of adventurers to use!
