Chapter 3791 Smokescreen Scholar
Half an hour ago, central area.
The acid rain was still pouring down, and there was no one on either side of the street; everyone was hiding under the eaves.
There was only an old beggar, dragging his weak legs, walking in the rain.
"Hey, old man, you don't want to live anymore? If you keep getting wet in the rain, your skin will ulcerate all over tomorrow!"
"Come here quickly, this way."
"Why don't you listen to my advice, old man? You are not a young man. Even if a young person's skin gets rotten once, they can still survive it, but if your skin gets rotten, you might be halfway to the grave!"
"Forget it, forget it. You deserve it if you don't listen to my advice."
The people hiding under the eaves were still talking, but the old beggar walking in the rain seemed not to hear anything. He just looked at the Tina Entertainment building in the distance and muttered in a low voice: "It's almost there... It's just a little acid rain, just some hair loss..."
Rather than these minor problems, Zuniga wanted to get to Tina Building as quickly as possible.
According to the tip of "Fixed News", the "alien" is most likely near the Tina Building.
Zuniga limped forward, and before he knew it, the rain seemed to be getting heavier, pouring down on the ground and raising waves of rain curtains. Combined with the surrounding light mist, the front was dazzling.
Zuniga subconsciously covered his eyes, and the next second, he felt something coming from the rain and penetrating into his body.
My body became weightless and darkness came over me.
"This familiar feeling..."
"here we go again."
Just before he fell into coma, Zuniga only vaguely heard a cry of surprise from his ear, and a young man from a nearby bakery rushed towards him with an umbrella...
When Zuniga opened his eyes again.
He found that he was no longer on the long rainy street, but had come to a city shrouded in mist.
The shape of this city is completely different from that of the modern city.
If the modern city is a torrent of steel under neon lights, then this city looks like a "modern forest city".
The buildings still exist, and some are even larger than those in the Modern City, but instead of colorful lights and shadows, the outer shells of the buildings are covered with various flowering plants.
The combination of primitive forest and modern high-rise buildings forms the city before our eyes.
"This is a bit like the 'Misty City'." Zuniga looked up at a corner of the city, then lowered his head silently.
If nothing unexpected happens, this city is the "Misty Forest City", but it is definitely not the real Misty Forest City, but a challenging space created by a fashion monster.
He was very familiar with the feeling of his body losing weight and his mind falling into a dark sleep.
He must have been targeted by some fashion monster.
Now, if you want to get out, you either have to complete the challenge task given by the fashion monster, or wait for the time to end and the challenge space to automatically dissipate.
If it were in the past, Zuniga might choose to sleep on the spot and wait for the challenge space to be broken. Although there might be backlash at that time, Zuniga did not care about it.
But this time is different from the past. Zuniga does not intend to rest, but supports himself on the ground and stands up.
"We must complete the challenge as soon as possible." Zuniga murmured, "Only then can we leave earlier and look for the alien..."
The ability of the outsider involves Zuniga's future happiness... He is tired of being stared at by fashion monsters and falling asleep at any time. If he knows which fashion monster the ability of the outsider comes from, maybe he can be free!
Thinking of this, Zuniga did not hesitate any longer.
He first looked around. He was currently in a long street. There was no living person, only mist and various living creatures made up of the mist.
From fog men, fog birds, fog dogs, fog cats...there are creatures made of fog everywhere.
They are like the residents of this city, forming the cornerstone of the ecology.
Moreover, they are all "moving", as if they are really living in this city.
Although Zuniga had never been to the Fog Forest City, he knew that the residents of the Fog Forest City were actually not much different from those of the Modern City. They were all of the same race, with only some differences in customs, culture, and skin color.
So there is no doubt that these fog men were all created by that unknown fashion monster.
Zuniga has been through countless challenge spaces in his life and is very clear about the rules of challenge spaces. As long as he finds any breakthrough, he will somehow sense the challenge target of the mission.
Judging from the current situation, these fog men must be the breakthrough point.
Thinking of this, Zuniga stood up and limped to a nearby fog man.
Judging from his size, he seems to be a child, but without a face or details, and his body is made entirely of mist.
Zuniga slowly reached out his hand and touched the foggy child.
At the moment he touched it, he had already sensed the information about this mission.
"Within forty-eight hours, find the real mastermind hiding in Wu Ling..."
Zuniga immediately understood that this was a typical challenge: to find the real body of the fashion monster.
It's not complicated, and both low-level and high-level fashion monsters may encounter this kind of task. However, the difficulty is very different.
The larger the challenge space, the more troublesome it is to find the fashion monster's body, and the more difficult the task.
Although the city before us is not a one-to-one replica of the Fog Forest City, judging from the high-rise buildings looming in the distance, it is at least one-tenth or one-twentieth of the Fog Forest City?
In such a huge city, it is not easy to find the real body of the fashion monster.
However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to find it.
Zuniga looked up and finally locked onto the tallest building in his field of vision, preparing to go to the rooftop to overlook it... Since it was a search-type mission, the fashion monster's true form would definitely be different from the other fog people around it.
His mental strength and observation ability strengthened each other. As long as the fashion monster appeared in his field of vision, even if it was just a grain of dust, he would be able to lock onto it immediately.
Soon, Zuniga reached the top floor of the building and began to look around.
"For this kind of challenge, the real body of the fashion monster is usually very curious. Even if it hides very well at the beginning, it will sneak out to peek later in order to see the progress of the challenger."
Therefore, Zuniga's choice of the top floor of the building was not random. As long as the fashion monster was "curious" and came out to take a look, Zuniga would be sure to find some clues through meticulous observation.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zuniga captured several targets worthy of investigation. As long as he observes for a while, he should be able to find the best choice by the process of elimination.
However, in the process of capturing the target, Zuniga had another thought in his mind.
"——Actually, there's no need for me to leave the challenge space in such a hurry."
"That outsider seemed to have interrupted the Fashion Magician who was in the middle of a mission several times in a row. This was true for both me and that Falu."
"In other words, if he finds out that I'm doing a mission challenge, he might interrupt me?"
"And if it is interrupted by someone from outer space, does that mean that the other party is nearby?"
Thinking of this, Zuniga was really hesitant about whether to complete the challenge.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Even if we can find the true form of the fashion monster, we don't have to expose it..."
……
Central area, the end of the rain curtain.
Angel left a hundred modern coins for the clerk and left.
The reason why I left the Modern Coins was not so much out of pity for Zuniga, but more out of appreciation for the kindness of the bakery clerk.
After walking a few steps, Ingres came to a dark alley and walked in without hesitation.
There is a sewer entrance at the end of this alley, through which you can enter the underground block.
On the way to the underground block, Angel finally had time to sort out the information about the wonderland that he had obtained when he touched Zuniga before.
"Random quest "Hide and seek in the fog forest""
"Mission Overview: The undefeated hide-and-seek king, the creator of the city's fog-hidden city, and the "smokescreen scholar" who came from afar, decided to start his first hide-and-seek competition in the modern city."
"Mission objective: Please find the Smokescreen Scholar hiding in the Mist Spirit in the simulated city."
"Countdown: 47:31:12"
"Countdown: 47:31:11"
"..."
This is the challenge mission that Zuniga is currently carrying out. Angel took a rough look at it from a God's perspective and found that the map was very large.
The urban space where hide and seek is played is almost comparable to the entire West End of the modern city.
The so-called "fog spirits" are creatures made up of various types of smoke in the city.
There are not only fog people walking on the streets, fog cats sitting on the walls, fog butterflies dancing among the flowers, but even fog birds flying in the sky and fog rats crawling in the sewers, all of which fall into the category of "fog spirits".
At a glance, Angel saw countless fog spirits.
Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Maybe more.
In short, Zuniga's mission is to find the "Smokescreen Scholar" hiding behind the countless fog spirits within 48 hours.
The task description is simple and easy to understand, but it is extremely difficult to execute.
Even if Ingres used a God's perspective to observe, it would probably take a long time, not to mention that Zuniga did not have the ability to see through the sky.
However, "Hide and Seek in the Fog" is a mission exclusive to Zuniga, and when Angel touched Zuniga, he received another mission.
「Random mission "Hide and seek in the building"」
"Task Overview: It is a smokescreen scholar who loves playing hide-and-seek, and an adventurer who is addicted to treasure hunting. It is keen on finding everything hidden, whether it is treasure buried in the soil, people hiding in the dark, or secrets hidden in the heart..."
"Mission objective: Use the entire building of Tina Entertainment as a hide-and-seek location and find the fifteen human corpses hidden throughout the building."
"Countdown: 47:31:12"
"Countdown: 47:31:11"
"..."
Through a common children's game, find the fifteen human skeletons hidden in Tina Entertainment?
...This task gives me a sense of deconstructing magical realism.
However, putting aside these unnecessary thoughts, from Angel's point of view, this task is much simpler than Zuniga's "Hide and Seek in the Fog Forest".
The main reason is that the city in the mission space is too big and has many nooks and crannies. If the Smokescreen Scholar hides in a fog rat, it will be very difficult for you to find it.
This "building hide-and-seek" game is only limited to one building, which makes it much simpler.
Of course, this is only simple from Angel's perspective, because he has a God's perspective. Not only does he have a full map cheat, but he also has a perspective cheat. It is extremely easy for him to find the fifteen human corpses hidden in the building.
But for others, this may not be easier than "Hide and Seek in the Fog Forest".
Take the example of starworms.
If Starworm were to do this task, he would have to face many difficulties. For example, he would have to face a threshold to enter the Tina Entertainment Building? Moreover, he would have to search for corpses hidden in the dark in a building full of fashion magicians?
Moreover, since the murderer killed someone and hid the body in the building, even the cleaners couldn’t find it. Could the Starworms find it?
Unless the Starworm turns the building upside down and searches every tiny detail, it is possible to complete this task. Even if you find some clues, can you really hide it from the fashion magician when you go to dig the ground and the wall?
You know, Tina Entertainment is the place where the most magicians gather in the entire Modern City. It can even be said that this is the most dangerous place!
Therefore, although the map of "Building Hide and Seek" has become smaller, its complexity and difficulty are no less than "Fog Forest Hide and Seek".
Unfortunately, I encountered a wall.
Angel planned to find an opportunity to go to Tina Entertainment to complete this task after coming out of the underground block.
Anyway, he had the Nightmare Illusion to cover him, so he could enter Tina Entertainment as if it were an empty place; and he also had a God's perspective, so doing this task was extremely easy.
Thinking of this, Angel also looked at the only clickable noun on the text column: Smokescreen Scholar.
Smokescreen Scholar is undoubtedly the fashion monster behind the random mission.
But Angel had never heard of this kind of fashion monster before.
Moreover, judging from the description of "Hide and Seek in the Fog Forest", the Smoke Scholar seems to have come from "afar". In other words, it may not be a common fashion monster in Modern City.
"As expected of Zuniga..." Angel sighed in a low voice. It was another rare fashion monster.
His Variety Show Genie was taken from Zuniga. Moreover, Variety Show Genie is rarely seen in Modern City, and now there is only this one.
And this Smokescreen Scholar, if nothing unexpected happens, is probably also a rare fashion monster.
Rare is good.
It would be very profitable to dismantle it and sell it. Maybe this Smokescreen Scholar alone could be sold for a million Modern Coins!
Of course, the prerequisite is that the puzzle pieces he has can fill the vacancies of the Smokescreen Scholar.
With hope, Ingres lightly clicked on "Smokescreen Scholar" on the text bar.
The next second, information about the Smokescreen Scholar emerged.
