After pausing the discussion in the channel, everyone met up at the tavern. In addition to giving money to Sword Demon, the main topic of the gathering was to analyze the diary that Gu Fei had dropped.
Brother You said, "If it was just an ordinary blank diary, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. But now that it's a diary with content, there might be a problem."
Everyone felt that it made sense, so they asked Gu Fei to bring the diary over for everyone to take a look. Of course, Gu Fei wouldn't have any thoughts of hiding it, so everyone met up. After giving the money to Sword Demon, Gu Fei threw the diary on the table.
"It looks very ordinary!" everyone said.
"The main thing is the content, the content!" Brother You reached for the diary and asked Gu Fei, "Have you read it?"
"I just glanced at it a few times when I first got it," Gu Fei replied.
Brother You held it in his hands and carefully turned to the first page. He looked as if he would turn the diary into ashes if he used too much force. The handwriting was clearly handwritten, and there were only a few lines of content. Brother You read it carefully.
"I, Misty Shadow Assassin Andrew Sue. I am unknown, so I am still alive. This is the rule that an assassin should follow. If ever I should be famous, it will be the day of my death.
Oak forest, small wooden house.
The oak trees that had just sprouted new leaves were bright red. Gru said that it looked like blood. Hmph, what does he know? Has he ever seen real blood?
This is the 142nd time I met Gru, and I received the 187th mission in my career as an assassin. It is said that when a mission is completed 200 times, the Assassin's Union will give a special reward. There are still 13 missions left. This number doesn't seem very auspicious. "
Everyone was stunned. Yutian Shenming was the first to speak, "A novel?"
No one paid attention to him. Brother You had already turned to the second page, which had even less content.
The air in Waterside City is still so humid, but I like it very much.
However, the pier that used to be quiet was no longer there. There were suddenly many people here. It was very lively, but it was a pity.
At the end of the second page, Yutian Shenming said, "Many people? Are you referring to players? "
No one was willing to delve into this issue. Brother You had already flipped to the third page, which was even shorter than the second page.
What a thick fog. In such an environment, it was easy to make a move and escape. It seemed that this mission would be very successful.
On the fourth page, the content was even rarer. There were only five words in total.
Oh no! He was lost.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Yutian Shenming, and Yutian Shenming had a very understanding expression on his face. He sighed deeply and said, "How pitiful."
"What's so special about these pages?" Unscathed In Battle asked.
"I don't think so … It seems like it's just the background information of this Boss," Sword Demon said.
"There's more at the back!" Brother You had already flipped to the fifth page.
"Are we just going to sit here and read the diary for the entire afternoon?" Unscathed In Battle felt that this matter was extremely terrifying.
"There's definitely something strange about this diary. I feel like it's hiding something. Perhaps it's a clue to a quest," Brother You said.
Using an item to open a quest was a common method in online games. However, in the past, after using it, they would immediately search for it in the quest list. Now, they really needed to read the item in detail. These experts were all about efficiency. They only did quests for the reward, so they only looked at the prompt and completed it quickly. They didn't have the mood to ponder over the quest's plot. The situation in front of them that required them to carefully examine the item made them somewhat impatient.
"There will definitely be something." Unfortunately, this was exactly what Brother You was interested in.
"Then I'll leave it to Brother You. Call me if there's a quest." Unscathed In Battle got up. "I'm going to take a walk first."
"Hey, wait for me!!" Yutian Shenming jumped up. In this place, he needed someone to accompany him, so sometimes he couldn't help himself. Seeing that someone was about to go out, he had to grab onto this opportunity!
Sword Demon also got up at this time. "I'm going to take a walk as well!" He owed a huge debt, so he needed to hurry up and think of a way to make money. He really didn't have the patience to read the diary in detail.
"Go on, go on!" Brother You waved goodbye to them as he continued to read the diary. However, his speed was much faster than before.
"What's written at the back?" Since Brother You didn't continue reading, Gu Fei and Han Family Young Master asked. The two of them hadn't left yet.
"It's written about how he would find his way if he got lost." Brother You said.
Every page was a plan that Misty Assassin had thought of.
He tried to fix the compass, but after disassembling it, he couldn't put it back together. The compass had completely turned into a pile of parts.
He tried to look up at the sky, but the fog in Xia Fog City didn't distinguish between day and night. Looking up, there was always fog. He couldn't see the sun, let alone the stars.
He tried to distinguish north from south by the luxuriant branches and leaves of the trees or the density of the annual rings, but also because of this unreasonable fog, the sunlight of Xia Wu City seemed to have no yin and yang, and the annual rings of the branches and leaves were all symmetrical.
He made marks along the way, so he returned to the starting point countless times.
He even shouted for help, but he didn't get any response.
Wait wait wait …
"Then why isn't he dead yet?" Han Family Young Master couldn't bear it anymore.
"It's written here: As an assassin, survival in the wild is the most basic thing. I will definitely persevere. I will definitely walk out of this fog and complete my mission. I, Misty Assassin Andrew Su, will definitely not die in the fog! "Brother You read.
After reading it, Brother You frowned, then he read the paragraph twice, raised his head and said to the two, "What do you guys think?"
"Think what?" The two asked back.
"Could this be a clue?" Brother You said.
"You're saying that this assassin's unfinished mission is a mission given to players?" Gu Fei said.
Brother You nodded.
"If that's the case, then you should have received it!" Han Family Young Master said to Brother You, "Does your mission list show anything?"
Brother You shook his head.
"It doesn't show anything. Who knows what the mission is?" Han Family Young Master said.
Brother You shook the diary, "There's more to it."
"Continue reading." Han Family Young Master took a sip of wine.
"Hey, it's tiring!" Brother You complained. At the beginning, he read two paragraphs excitedly. Who would have the mood to read aloud! Brother You's hobby wasn't this.
"Let's read it together." Gu Fei went over and squeezed with him. The two raised their heads and looked at Han Family Young Master, asking him if he wanted to come over.
"Just tell me the result after reading it!" Han Family Young Master continued to sip his wine calmly. He felt that it was stupid enough for two people to squeeze together to read a small diary. It was childish for three people to squeeze together.
Therefore, the two of them ignored him. Brother You took a deep breath and flipped to the next page.
"It's been 47 days, maybe! I've been lost in the fog for 47 days. Birds, beasts, and even insects have become my food. The dew on the grass is more abundant than I imagined. This might be the only benefit of the fog. I won't give up. If I keep moving forward in a certain direction, I will definitely get out of this predicament. "
"47 days …" Brother You turned around and glanced at the number of pages. "It seems that he doesn't write in this diary every day."
"Only primary school students write in a diary every day, right?" Gu Fei said.
"That's true." Brother You nodded in agreement.
"Continue." Gu Fei waved his hand and turned to the next page.
"I thought I would get out of this predicament if I keep moving forward in a certain direction. It seems that I was wrong. The place I passed this morning seemed familiar. I don't want to admit it, but I know deep in my heart that I had a rest here a few days ago. The decorations I made to hide my tracks are a kind of trace to me. Maybe I'm making a mark involuntarily in my heart. How many such marks did I leave behind? "
"This! This!" Brother You was excited. "Marks! Is this another kind of hint? "
"What kind of hint is this? To let us walk on the same path as him? "Gu Fei asked.
"Anyone who walks will leave a trace." Brother You said. "Maybe he left a message at the place he walked on."
"Don't be hasty!" Gu Fei comforted Brother You. "Even if we know it's a hint, we still have to know what it's about, right? Are we just going out of the city to search blindly? What are we looking for? "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Brother You nodded. "Hurry up and continue!"
So Gu Fei turned to the next page.
"I don't know how many days have passed. The last time I recorded it was the 47th day. But how long has it been? I suddenly feel like I'm in a trance. This is really a scary thing. An assassin can actually not remember the date? Even a minute or a second wrong is enough to be fatal to us. This fog is slowly eroding my will. I can feel it. "
"Uh, why does it feel like it's getting heavier?" Gu Fei said.
"Look at the back." Brother You felt that there were no clues to follow in this kind of mood description, but he didn't care. He couldn't wait to turn the page.
"I didn't move. I didn't move the whole day. This isn't the first time. When I wake up, sometimes I actually forget which direction I came from and which direction I should go. That's right, I know that my head should be facing the direction I came from and my feet should be pointing in the direction I'm going. But now, I actually continue to change my posture when I sleep. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't hold my dagger. It was two yards away from me … Is my body starting to become sluggish? "
"Why is it this again!" Brother You was a little impatient. He turned the page anxiously.
"I saw an oak tree. It's orange-red. I've seen leaves like this a few times at Gru's place. Every time, it was in September. September … Have I been in the fog for half a year? Is Gru still waiting for me to return the quest? Can I still do it? Maybe he should find someone else to do this quest. "
"Ah!!! I got it! " Brother You shouted again. "We should find the NPC called Gru in the wooden house in the oak forest. If we show him this diary, we can definitely receive the quest!"
