Chapter 3 Steam and Magic
The guest next door looks human.
She wore a gas mask with a brass skull pattern on her head, and a tattered linen cloak covered most of her body, making her face unclear.
The moment she rushed out, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
However, when she glanced at the open door behind Ji Xun, the murderous intent in her eyes instantly dissipated, and she blurted out in surprise: "You're not dead yet?"
His voice was deliberately kept low, but he could tell that he was not very old.
Probably because he recognized himself, he didn’t do anything.
“???”
Ji Xun complained quietly in his heart after hearing this.
To die is to die once.
However, this woman seems to know me?
Ji Xungang didn’t know anything when he traveled through time, and his intuition told him that it was best not to speak randomly.
At the moment of the confrontation, the girl with the mechanical arm opposite seemed to have thought of something, and took the lead in putting down the steam barrel in her hand and making a friendly gesture.
Looking at Ji Xun's empty clothes, she obviously guessed something. She was even more puzzled and murmured again: "You stayed with the 'Fallen Witch' all night, and you're still alive?"
“.”
Ji Xun remained silent as he listened and put down the gun in his hand.
The other party immediately revealed that there was a [Fallen Witch] in the room, so he obviously knew a lot.
The mysterious woman looked at Ji Xun, who was silent, and pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something. She didn’t say anything, and asked straight to the point: "Are you a lone hunter or do you have a team? I mean, are you? Are you interested in cooperating?"
Speaking very straightforwardly.
As she spoke, she was afraid that the guy in front of her would not understand her current situation, so she added: "Otherwise, if you are in such a poor state and the fallen witch comes to your door tonight, you probably won't survive tomorrow."
"What?"
Ji Xun listened, quickly calculating the information in these words.
The woman's tone was very raw. She had probably just seen her before, but she probably didn't know the original owner.
This also saves a lot of trouble.
Does this mean you won’t survive tonight?
Where did this start?
This woman obviously has a lot of information that he urgently needs.
Thinking in his mind, Ji Xun kept his expression and asked tentatively: "Cooperation?"
"Yes."
The mysterious woman looked at him and did not refuse directly. , and said bluntly: "I am interested in the materials produced by the [Fallen Witch]. If you are willing to cooperate, we can hunt down this B-level pollutant tonight. Although there is no guarantee of success, at least I will try my best to kill it. It. Only by killing the monster can you leave the space alive."
After a pause, she added: "Of course, I will try my best to keep you safe."
"."
Ji Xun heard that this meant killing monsters and exploding materials.
This extra-dimensional space seems to be a copy of a game or something like that.
He wanted to inquire about something more, but he knew too little about this world and didn’t know where to start in such a short period of time.
And the girl with the mechanical arm obviously had very clear ideas.
She keenly caught Ji Xun's moment of hesitation, thinking that he didn't believe her, and said in a strange tone: "Although I don't know how you survived last night. But you don't think [ Fallen Witch] Will I let you go now?"
"."
Ji Xun still didn't speak, but his mind was thinking about the naked corpse lying inside.
Anyone who comes close will be contaminated by radiation. This is a monster that I cannot understand.
Moreover, the man in front of him was so well-equipped that he could not even be sure to kill him even as he spoke. This also confirmed his previous judgment that he should not be able to handle it.
However, this person’s words may not necessarily be believed.
Ji Xun fell into deep thought for a moment.
Can you still hesitate?
Ordinary people are targeted by B-level disasters. If someone helps, why don’t they agree quickly?
Looking at his hesitant expression, the girl with the mechanical arm obviously made up her mind: This guy doesn't have a clear understanding of the horror of the [Fallen Witch], right?
She thought of something and asked in surprise: "Did you just come in without buying any information?"
That look was like looking at a fool who recklessly committed suicide.
"." Ji Xunzhengchou didn't know how to express information. When the other party said it, he took his seat by default.
He asked smoothly: "You mean the [Fallen Witch] will come to me again?"
Hearing this, the mysterious woman's helpless expression was as expected under the mask.
She pondered for a moment and explained: "Then you should have seen Enlightenment. This is a spiritual B-level disaster that can lock the human soul. You stayed with it for one night, and in No matter where you hide in this space, it can find you."
"."
Ji Xunting raised his eyelids slightly.
It turns out that enlightenment cannot be seen by oneself, but is a certain rule of this world.
I did understand what he said, and he was "marked" by the monster.
And he immediately understood that the reason why this woman wanted to cooperate was obviously not because of Ji's fighting ability, but because she wanted to take advantage of the monster's marking characteristics and needed a "bait".
But after hearing this, Ji Xun gave up all worries.
After all, if you don’t know each other, no one will help you for no reason. Even if he was using it, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Cooperation with valuable exchanges is actually more stable.
He thought for a moment and asked the doubt in his heart: "Can I kill it now? I mean"
Originally, he wanted to say that the monster was still sleeping, but it didn't seem like it. The attack power should be easy to kill.
But I was interrupted without thinking.
The girl with the mechanical arm had an expression on her face as if this guy knew nothing, and objected: "If it were possible to kill Class B disasters so easily, there wouldn't be so many people dying in this extra-dimensional space. Don't tell me. You can destroy its body, that is, no matter what method you use to kill it, it will come back intact at night. This has been tried more than once, and anyone who gets close to its body will. Those who are left with a 'mark of hatred' will surely die when night falls."
oh.
This plan really doesn’t work.
He was just asking.
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows: "Death is certain?"
"Yes!"
The girl with the mechanical arm said firmly: "As far as I know, there are no exceptions."
"If you don't believe it, you can try firing two shots. You have been marked anyway."
>Said, she looked at Ji Xun again, obviously wondering why this guy didn't die, and added: "I'm curious, how did you survive last night?"
". "
Ji Xun had no intention of explaining that the original owner was dead, nor could he explain why he was still alive.
But in the current situation, he had no choice at all.
Although he didn't believe everything this woman said, he could basically confirm a few points.
First, the monster inside is really difficult, at least you can't solve it by yourself.
Secondly, the opponent is well-equipped, so there is no need to say so much to kill him. It seems the same thing is tied up and used as bait? Or maybe you need to cooperate yourself to be the bait.
But no matter what, at least before killing the [Fallen Witch], I still have value.
It's valuable, and there's no danger for the time being.
Ji Xun knows nothing about this world and needs a source of information right now.
He did not hesitate and said directly: "I agree to cooperate."
As he said, he added: "But before that, can you share some information? I mean, About this space.”
“Yes!”
The girl with the mechanical arm obviously breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
I’m afraid of meeting a fool who doesn’t understand the situation.
With a bait, it will be much easier to hunt the disaster by yourself.
As she spoke, she gestured to Room 2013, which she had just come out of, and said: "But there are still twelve hours until dark, and I still have some preparations to make. If you want to survive until night, you can Go and stay in the room. If you're not afraid of encountering monsters, come with me. But I don't guarantee your safety."
Ji Xun said decisively: "I'll go with you."
Obviously, it's safer to follow this one.
