Chapter 117 Reliable teammates (additional update)
Waiting in the living room.
The two people who had had a fight had an unexpectedly harmonious atmosphere.
Ximen: “Mask?”
Wei Miao: “Dance.”
For the sake of caution, the two people who have made guesses will first discuss the "secret code".
When players meet alone, they can temporarily abandon their identity constraints, break away from immersive reality, and return to the "tourist" state.
There is no threat of life or death, and some players may be wedded to the differences they have made in the game, but Wei Miao values interests more. In a dungeon with changing positions, there are no permanent enemies and friends.
On this point, the calm Ximen obviously reached a consensus with her, even though he suffered a small loss in the last battle.
Wei Miao spoke first: "What is your mission?"
Classic players must ask questions when meeting and must go through a trial period.
Also a real problem in the masquerade.
Players' nonsense is indistinguishable from ghosts and ghosts. How to determine the camp's position is an essential quality for dance players.
Ximen was silent.
The two looked at each other.
Wei Miao suggested: "Let's do this. For the sake of fairness and credibility, we both write down our tasks on paper and then show them together."
This sounds much more reliable and can prevent one person from doing so. After telling the mission, another person has a hidden agenda and agrees with it, which helps to increase the credibility of the mission.
But it can also be played as a game of prediction and counter-prediction. The frustration of the masquerade lies in this, it is impossible to completely trust a person.
Ximen finally said: "Okay."
So, the two of them took paper and pen respectively and wrote down their tasks.
When sitting across from each other and writing, always keep an eye on the other side to prevent the other party from making any small moves.
"I count 3, 2, and 1, and show them together."
Wei Miao turns the paper upside down, and when Ximen is ready, recites the numbers.
“3…2…1!”
The two of them turned the paper over together.
"Delay the process of world destruction." x2
Looking at the mission on the opposite side, Wei Miao raised the corners of her mouth, and even Ximen, who had always had a straight face, showed a relieved smile.
What’s interesting is that both of them write in native Esperanto and don’t even want to reveal their actual nationality.
Every simple task assignment is a careful mental calculation. To determine how likely it is that the opposite camp's mission is similar to your own, it may be revealed, distorted, or half-truthed, all based on consideration.
This time the two chose to tell the truth verbatim, based on their understanding of the characters played by both parties. At the same time, describing the task in as much detail as possible can effectively increase credibility. After all, the more details there are, the greater the probability of making a mistake.
The content written by the two people was accurate word for word, and their credibility was immediately maximized. Basic trust has been established.
For players at their level, this is the most difficult step.
"The most basic task problem has been successfully solved!" The joyful smile on Euphia's beautiful face broke the respectful and compassionate image of the nun, and her unique temperament flowed out, looking extremely strange.
On the other hand, Ximen has the same rigid expression as the marble sculpture. He said calmly: "I just returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday and learned about the changes between the two religions. Do you have any additional news?"
"The attack on me by the Firebringer was secretly planned by Migle..." Wei Miao briefly talked about the ins and outs of adding his own understanding.
At the end, she added: "Migler has news of salvation in his hands. He invites you and me to cooperate with him, and I have agreed."
"Okay." Simon thought for a few seconds and then nodded.
Wei Miao: "It's better to choose the day than to hit the sun. Now we are leaving to visit him? The location is his manor on the outskirts of the imperial capital."
"Okay."
She found out Ximen really takes his "taciturn" character to the extreme and communicates efficiently, which is in sharp contrast to the talkative Erha in the previous dungeon.
"Can you say one more word?" "I can."
"...Let's go."
Wei Miao put on the towel that covered the back of the chair Black robe.
The two left the small building one after the other and went separately.
The fire bearer and the night watcher who were watching in the dark breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two walking out harmoniously. At this point in time, if there is any conflict between the two, it will inevitably affect the church behind them.
Ximen’s popularity in the imperial capital is not comparable to that of Euphia, and his travel is handled by a dedicated person. The unknown nun had a lot of freedom. She could hail a rickshaw on the street and go anywhere.
Suburban manor.
The square courtyard is surrounded by black iron railings. Compared to Princess Keni’s gorgeous gardening design, it is overgrown with grass.
When Wei Miao arrived, Ximen was already standing in front of the courtyard door. He turned to her and said, "The door is unlocked."
Hearing this, her eyes swept across the manor. There were no guards and it looked deserted. Only a two-story building stood alone.
It is hard to imagine that this is the residence of a prince.
Wei Miao said: "On the way here, I listened to the coachman's chat. He said that the second prince's terrifying manor was spread by word of mouth among the common people of the imperial capital and was famous. It is said that there is a man-eating monster hidden here."
Wearing black gloves, Ximen pushed gently, and the iron door made an unpleasant creaking sound like a crow.
The two walked into the courtyard side by side, walking lightly and silently.
There are inconspicuous signs of turning over parts of the waste lawn, and the soil is loose.
The two people with keen senses can smell the faint special smell lingering in the air.
Wei Miao often smells this smell when he goes to the cemetery in reality.
It is the putrid smell of corpses. This is the first time she has been exposed to it so realistically in a game.
Due to regulations or review restrictions, normal virtual games drastically reduce the sensory experience of injury and death, resulting in a very dramatic moment of death.
She raised a compassionate smile and made the church's rest ritual gesture: "May the deceased sleep in peace in the eternal night."
"The deceased should return to the world in the purification of the divine flame." Ximen rarely responded.
They walked through the narrow path without changing their expressions and came to the white stone gate.
Ximen stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
After waiting for about a minute, there was no movement.
Wei Miao and Ximen looked at each other, and Ximen asked her what was going on with his expression.
Wei Miao guessed: "Not at home? It seems we came at the wrong time."
When he was about to turn around and leave, the door behind him suddenly opened.
The two turned their heads and saw Migle standing at the door wearing a black tights and looking slovenly.
His hair was messy and curly, and he was wearing a pair of thin black special gloves. Wei Miao could tell at a glance that they were made of Yipeng's skin.
Migler, who was down and out but full of energy, smiled and said: "Sorry, I just couldn't leave because of a research project. Please come in, both of you."
Wei Miao smiled and said: "Your Highness can put research first, which makes people sad. I think it's reliable."
"The Son of Divine Flame and Sister Yongye came to visit together. Even my royal brothers and sisters didn't get this treatment. It was me who was neglecting them." Migle maintained his demeanor and led them in. .
He has a very faint smell of blood, and the nun who has been fighting for many years is very keen.
Wei Miao looked at his back thoughtfully.
As far as the methods seen so far are concerned, Migler is, as she said, a reliable researcher partner.
It seems like a long time has passed since the last time I went to Canada. This time is an additional update for Ling Feifei helmsman!
It feels like being owed an unlimited debt. There are many creditors now...
