"This … You can use it." Feng Bujue looked at the description of the skill card and turned to tell Uub, "None of us need a medic skill."
"Yes, you're the only one in our team that's suitable for that," Xiao Tan added.
"Suitable for that …" Uub repeated the phrase and then complained, "Er … You make it sound like I'm an excavator student …"
Hearing that, Feng Bujue got excited. He opened his mouth and said, "Then, here comes the question …"
"Let's see who dares to ask." Ruo Yu's voice was as cold as the wind.
As expected … Once the heroine finished, no one dared to answer Brother Jue.
"Sigh … Just pretend I didn't say anything …" Feng Bujue shrugged. "Uub, keep the skill card. We are ready to depart." Then, he turned to walk toward the door that was already open and led to the river.
Outside the metal door was the river, there was no bank or stairs to slow it down. Thankfully, the river was not rushing, and the water level was about half a meter lower than the threshold, so the water did not rush into the house. At most, there would be some splashes.
On the other side of the river, or the bank three meters away … there was a stone wall. It was a meandering stone wall that seemed to have no end. The height of the stone wall was unknown, but it was at least thirty meters high. Places higher than that … due to the lack of light, it was impossible to see clearly.
If one poked their head out from behind the door and looked left and right … The players would realize that … there was no difference between this side of the river and the other side of the river. The only difference was that there was a metal door embedded into the stone wall.
"Main quest triggered." The moment Brother Jue poked his head out of the door, the system announcement came.
Opening the quest tab, there was a new main quest. "Follow the river and find the pirate's treasure."
Buu looked outside the door and asked Brother Jue a very realistic question, "Teacher Jue … don't tell me we have to swim?"
"So what if we do?" Feng Bujue replied. "It's just a swim, not a pot of oil. Besides … we don't need to swim. " He pointed at the opposite wall. "Everyone is level 40 … Relying on the walls that are three meters apart and perpendicular to the ground, we can move by bouncing back and forth."
"That's right. It's very easy." Ruo Yu immediately expressed that moving in this way … wasn't too stressful.
"If that's the case, I can do it too," Xiao Ling said.
"It doesn't matter to me … As long as the speed is not lower than ten kilometers per hour, I can walk directly on the wall." Xiao Tan's title [Gale Nightmare] hadn't changed, so his title ability [Flying Nightmare] was still there. "Hmm … However, I'll leave black fire footprints wherever I go. It's best if you guys don't walk on the same level as me, in case you get burned."
"As for me …" Feng Bujue placed his hands behind his head and looked at his teammates with a relaxed expression. "I can walk or stand on the surface of the water at will. There's no pressure at all."
"Hmm … Underworld Frontline … Everyone is so skilled …" Uub's weak voice was filled with deep admiration. "I will try my best to catch up to everyone."
"I … I will try my best to catch up to everyone as well …" Sweat rolled down Buu's round face. "I'll use the swimming method …"
"I say, Buu … You should be able to float on water, right?" Feng Bujue mocked with a thoughtful expression.
"Huh? Teacher Jue, how did you know? "Buu asked with surprise.
"Huh?" Brother Jue was just mocking Buu's body size, he didn't expect it to be true. "Really?"
"Yes," Buu replied. "I have a skill that allows me to adjust the amount of hydrogen in my body to change my weight."
"No way …" Feng Bujue's lips twitched.
Buu added, "When necessary, I can float like a balloon or float on the surface of the water …"
"Then … you plan to float on the surface of the water and use the turtle style to catch up to us?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hmm … Yes." Buu nodded. "Don't worry, Teacher Jue, I've tried this in other scenarios … If you ride the current, this method is not slow."
"Okay …" Feng Bujue replied rather awkwardly. Then he turned around and was the first to walk out of the metal door.
With the help of the legendary shoes, Voidwalk, Brother Jue could do this with ease. He stood calmly on the surface of the water and waited for his teammates to come out.
Buu was the second to come out. His face was facing down, and he fell directly into the water …
With a "splash" … he really floated up …
Two seconds later, Buu, who had steadied himself, raised his head, swayed his limbs, and floated down the river like he was paddling on a surfboard.
"Teacher Jue, I'll be going first." When Buu 'floated' past Feng Bujue, he didn't forget to raise his head to greet his idol.
"Okay … We'll catch up soon." When Feng Bujue replied, he felt like he had been transported back in time. For a moment, he felt like he was a character in a fairy tale, like a pelican or something, and Buu was a turtle that passed by him …
"We're going as well." Ruo Yu's one sentence pulled Brother Jue back from his daze.
As she spoke, she suddenly leaped over the threshold and landed on the opposite stone wall. Her toes tapped lightly on the wall, and her body shot out like a swallow. In just a few back and forth … she had already caught up with Buu in front of her … It could truly be said that she was flying like a duck, treading on the waves with subtle steps.
Then, Xiao Ling, Xiao Tan, and Uub also leaped out from the metal door and started to walk down the wall.
"Humph … There has to be some kind of conspiracy behind this riverside quest …" Seeing that his companions had moved on, Feng Bujue took his time to catch up to them like he was jogging after a meal. "After all, with me covering the back, I do want to see … what kind of trick 'you' have up your sleeve."
…
At the same time, at the Detective Club.
The Count of Script (who had morphed into an owl) stood at the top of a bookshelf. With a constipated expression, he told the 'pig-headed man' before him, "You'd better not come and disturb me. I'm having a headache …"
"I'm just here to give you something. Take it, and I'll leave." Oink lifted his head to look at his brother.
"Since when did you become a postman?" the Count of Script asked.
"Humph …" Oink scoffed. "If I recall correctly, it started when I 'gave Feng Bujue a weapon' …"
"So, it's my fault?" the Count of Script asked.
"Of course," Oink replied. "I used to be a butcher, a chef, a killer, and a manager … and now I've become a delivery man."
"If you don't like it, you can quit," the Count of Script said.
"That's easy for you to say …" Oink scoffed. "Do you think I can stand before the leader of the demons, look into his eyes, and say, 'I'm not doing this, you can find someone else'? Ha! If I say that … what do you think he will do next? " He paused. "Oh … no, he won't wait for one second. When I said 'you' or 'find', he already made his move." He shook his head and said, "He will tear my stomach open, tear off every piece of meat there, and then take it and stew it with Medusa's hair into a pot of pork stew with noodles … Yes, that's what he will do."
"Fine, fine … I get it," the Count of Script said. "What is it? Give it to me."
"Wait a minute," Oink said. Oink said as he turned around and grabbed a kitchen knife from his waist. He tore open a dimensional rift (he was one of the few NPCs who had the ability to travel through space indiscriminately. The only other NPCs who had the ability to do so was Bugs Bunny). "Ugh … damn it … I bet this thing weighs at least a ton …" He grumbled as he pulled out a large box from the rift.
"What's inside the box?" the Count of Script asked.
"Can't you see it?" Oink asked.
"Why would I ask you if I can see it?" the Count of Script said. "Didn't I tell you? I'm having a headache …" He raised one of his wings to touch his head. "Something is messing with my brain, and it's creating a bad influence on me … Temporarily, I can't see the Sequence of Truth."
"Oh …" Oink's expression relaxed. "No wonder your tone is so weird. I thought you were a fake."
"Alright … Tell me, what's inside the box?" the Count of Script said. "Now that you're done here, I still have other things to do." For the Count of Script, helping Feng Bujue chase away the uninvited guest in his brain was the most important thing.
"Oh," Oink said. Oink said, "The Demon Leader purposely asked me to bring this to you …" His expression suddenly turned serious. "SCP-762 …"
…
Item Code: SCP-762
Item Classification: Safe
Description: SCP-762 is a torture device similar to the infamous Iron Maiden of Nuremberg. It was recovered in the year 19 REDACTED, and it was placed inside a box in the basement of Austria's REDACTED.
Any personnel placed inside SCP-762 will enter a state of suspended animation. When the subject is inside SCP-762, they will no longer need food, water, or even air. At the same time, when the subject is inside SCP-762, they appear to be immune to the effects of diseases and wounds, including the large wounds caused by SCP-762 itself. Even so, the subject will retain consciousness, and they will describe the experience as excruciating.
Once the subject is removed from SCP-762, all the wounds caused by the device will be healed instantly. Since all physiological functions other than consciousness will be suspended inside SCP-762, the people placed inside it will not age.
…
"Hmm?" At that moment, the Count of Script's appearance changed. He turned into a two-liter bottle of Coke. It looked like … he was trying to use this to hide his reaction, mainly his expression. "What is the meaning of this? There shouldn't be anyone else in there, right? "
"No, it's empty," Oink replied. Oink replied, "The Devil Lord said that you will need this soon. He also said that … after you're done with it, remember to return it to him …" At this point, Oink seemed to have realized something. "Wait … You said that there is a 'thing' messing with your mind?"
"Alright, you don't need to ask anymore …" The Count of Script turned the bottle and replied. "I already know what the demon leader means." He paused for two seconds and said, "I already know who the person who sneaked into my mind is …"
…
Back to Brother Bujue's group.
The six players followed the current for about ten minutes, but the scenery before them had not changed.
What was reflected in their eyes was … the golden river, the riverbed covered in treasures, the boundless stone walls, and the distant and deep darkness above their heads.
After this period of time, the distance between the players had increased. This was unavoidable … because other than Feng Bujue and Buu, the other four did not have the ability to stop moving.
Of course, if they wanted to, they could just jump into the water. But generally speaking, no one would do that unless they encountered some special circumstances.
Thus, such a situation had occurred …
Xiao Tan moved along the wall at a speed of ten kilometers per hour. Without realizing it, he was already at the front. The second person chasing after him was Ruo Yu, Xiao Ling was third, and the fourth person was Buu, who was drifting along the river.
Uub, who was fifth, was a player who specialized in medic after all. He was not that good at physical skills. Even though it was simple jumping on the wall, it was not easy for him. Compared to Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling, who used the same method, Uub lagged far behind.
The one at the back of the group was still Feng Bujue. He still followed the philosophy of covering the back and ran 'slowly'.
By then, Brother Jue had basically guessed what was going to happen …
