Not only did Gu Fei listen attentively, but he also took out a pen and paper to take notes. It really didn't take any effort at all! He originally thought that he would have to lie on top of the wall for a long time to understand the situation, but he didn't expect these eight brothers who crawled out of the ruins to help him. These guys had been secretly watching this compound for a long time to understand the situation in such detail. Not only did they understand the actions of the guards and NPCs, but they also saw Flowers in the Fog as an important enemy, so after many days of observation, they also had a summary of the activities and habits of these players.
Gu Fei listened, nodded, and took notes like crazy. Number Four, who was in charge of explaining, was obviously very satisfied with Gu Fei's attitude. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. Not only did he introduce the situation of the opponents, but he also told Gu Fei about the plans they had made before, but were unable to implement them.
"The most troublesome thing right now is that we have no idea how many stealthed thieves Flowers in the Fog left in this compound, so we can't do anything," Number Four said worriedly in the end.
"There's one more thing." Number Three, who was beside him, took the wooden stick in his hand and poked at the back of the government building on the ground. "This is the backyard, but because it's blocked by the building, we have no idea what's going on behind it. My and Seven's mission is to go to this backyard, so … "
"There's nothing in the backyard. There are no system guards, and there are no players Flowers in the Fog," Gu Fei said.
"You've been there before?" Number Three and Number Seven were excited.
"Yes!" Gu Fei nodded.
"How did you do it?" The eight of them all looked at him.
"Have you never thought of … climbing over the wall?" Gu Fei looked back at the eight of them.
"Wall?" The eight of them muttered. Because in their minds, it wasn't a wall at all. It was more than ten meters tall, like a building. A four or five-story building was blocking your way, would a normal person think of climbing over it?
"You can climb over that wall?" The eight of them asked carefully.
"I used some tools, but I can still do it," Gu Fei said.
"You came in from the backyard, so you arrived in front of the government office without anyone knowing." Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"More or less!" Gu Fei said, "But there's a little problem right now."
"What?" The eight of them looked at him.
Gu Fei pointed at the government building in the courtyard. "You should know that the government building is not open to Players. Now, other than Ah San, Ah Qi, and Ah Ba, the mission descriptions for the remaining five of you are all in the building. Are you sure you've been temporarily granted access to the mission? "
The few of them had expressions of grief and indignation on their faces. "This kind of thing could have been known with a little try, but because of those foggy people, they wouldn't let us get close …"
"So none of you know …" Gu Fei said.
The few of them felt regretful.
"But now that there's a way to climb over the wall and enter the backyard, what's there to worry about? Why don't we just give it a try?"
Gu Fei shook his head and said, "Climbing over the wall might not work anymore."
"Why?"
"I suddenly appeared outside the government office and was surrounded by foggy people. Even though they let me go in the end, they didn't even ask how I suddenly appeared here. Isn't this a little strange?" Gu Fei analyzed.
"Indeed …" The few of them were startled.
"If they don't ask, then there's only one possibility. They've already determined how I entered the courtyard. At the very least, the backyard that no one was guarding would definitely be noticed. From then on, they wouldn't blindly believe in guarding the door. Sigh, my actions today seem to have made our mission a little more difficult! "Gu Fei sighed.
"That makes sense. Flowing Maple Three Sighs isn't simple. He definitely thought of this, "Number Three suddenly said.
"Oh? You know him? "Someone beside him immediately asked.
Number Three immediately shut his mouth and didn't say anything.
"There's another situation. At night in the game, the entire building is sealed. It doesn't seem to be open to Players with access," Gu Fei said.
"How do you know?" Number Four asked.
"Because I'm a Player with access," Gu Fei said.
"You're Apple Vinegar??" Number Four cried out involuntarily. The others also seemed to be a little panicked. They immediately distanced themselves from Gu Fei.
Gu Fei shook his head, "Didn't you all see that I'm an outsider? How could I be Apple Vinegar? "
The few of them calmed down and Gu Fei continued, "Speaking of which, since you know that Apple Vinegar is a Player with access, have you never thought of asking him about the situation inside the building? Five of you have to enter the building to complete the mission. "
Number Four bitterly smiled, "It's not that we haven't thought about it, but if Apple Vinegar could be found so easily, he would've been torn to shreds long ago. He wouldn't have survived until today."
Gu Fei nodded.
"It's night time right now. Even though we can't enter the government office, I think we can still use the method you mentioned to climb the wall and see the situation in the backyard. After all, it's all just your speculation, "Number Four said.
"Okay." Gu Fei nodded.
"Are there any other questions?" Number Four asked.
"There's one." Gu Fei pulled on the poncho he was wearing. "Who made this?"
"It's me!" Number Two raised his hand. "The idea for the clothes came from Naruto's Akatsuki organization. The number embroidered on the clothes is an imitation of the captain's uniform in Shinigami," Number Two said proudly.
Gu Fei nodded and said, "If you want to hide your identity, don't show too much of your preferences. That will expose who you are."
It wasn't just Number Two. The others were stunned when they heard that and started to reflect on themselves.
"Let's go!" Gu Fei stood up.
"Let's go!" Number Four pulled on the poncho and called out to the others.
Gu Fei, who was wearing Number Nine's poncho, walked at the back. He continued to quietly observe the eight people.
Cooperation was built on the foundation of mutual trust. Gu Fei didn't think highly of this kind of cooperation where they had to hide their identity and only work together for benefits. The nine people's quest was a two-way quest. This was the only thing they had in common. Other than that, they were all different. Think about it, if someone completed the first step of the quest, would he still be able to continue his responsibility and help the others complete the quest? Gu Fei felt that this was a big question.
When Gu Fei came, he was with the faster classes. But now that they were returning, there were clearly slower characters among the eight, so they wasted a lot of time. Gu Fei raised his head to look at the sky. With this kind of movement speed, if they walked any longer, the sky would be bright. There should be some suitable transportation in the game. Otherwise, it would be unfair to these slower characters. They would waste a lot of time on the road even when they were leveling up.
They left the ruins and walked onto the main road. The eight people kept their distance from each other. No one talked to each other. When they got close to the main city, some people had already started to take off their ponchos. This strange attire was quite eye-catching. Honestly speaking, people who wanted to do bad things in the dark shouldn't wear such a strange attire. Asking everyone to wear the same attire was even more stupid. This should be a method used to publicly demonstrate their power.
Gu Fei didn't care and continued to wear it. Number Two seemed to admire his work. Everyone else had already taken it off, but he was still wearing it. Gu Fei slowly leaned behind him and asked softly, "Was it your idea to get this set of clothes?"
"Yeah! What's wrong? "Number Two asked.
"Nothing, our numbers …" Gu Fei lifted the "9" on the corner of his clothes and asked: "Are they arranged according to who joined first?"
"Yeah!" Number Two said.
"Then how many did you make beforehand?" Gu Fei asked.
"Thirteen." Number Two said.
"Why thirteen?" Gu Fei suddenly froze. He remembered that Andrew Sue's diary also specifically mentioned the number thirteen. He said that he was 13 missions away from reaching 200. He also said that this number seemed unlucky.
"Uh, haven't you seen the Grim Reaper?"
"Okay, I got it …" Gu Fei said. It seemed like it was just a coincidence.
The nine people finally arrived outside the city hall. While making sure there weren't any other players around, Gu Fei led the eight people to the wall of the backyard.
"Is it possible to go up from here?" The eight people came up to study.
"I said I needed some tools!" Gu Fei took out a flying hook and skillfully threw it onto the wall.
"This … Where did you get this thing?" The eight people who saw the flying hook for the first time immediately asked the same question as the other players.
"I made it myself!" Gu Fei explained many times, feeling a bit helpless. Why were these players so inflexible. Did the tools have to be directly provided by the game? Didn't they know how to make it themselves? They clearly had their own ponchos, why didn't they think of something like this?
"Are we going to climb up like this?" Number Four came up and tugged on the rope to make sure it was sturdy.
"It might be a bit difficult at first. Let's practice first!" Gu Fei said as he threw two more up. He really did make a lot of them in one go.
At the top of the wall, Gu Fei immediately started a lesson on how to climb the wall with flying hooks. However, these eight people obviously didn't have Yan Xiaozhu's talent. They could barely climb a few steps, but they couldn't persist to the end. They would always make mistakes midway, lose their balance, or lose their footing while swaying, causing the flying hooks to fall off. The people on the three ropes fell like dumplings.
"Little Seven, don't climb so hard! Your feet are only used to stabilize your body. You mainly rely on your arms, arms!! "
"Number Four, why do you keep leaning to the left? Don't just rely on one leg, use both legs, both legs!!"
"Number Three, don't be so anxious. What? You don't have enough stamina? Then hurry up, go go go go!! "
"Number Six, what are you doing? Come down! This can only support the weight of one person!! "
Gu Fei squatted down by the wall, looking up from time to time to give advice. In the end, he sighed and said, "The sun will rise soon. If everything goes well, we can directly enter the city hall after climbing over the wall."
"Okay, okay." The eight people were sweating profusely as they continued to practice.
