Chapter 313: Whispering Voices From Underground (Please Read Later)
"Summon?"
Chen Ye leaned back slightly, and fell into deep thought after hearing the description of "Nine-Tailed Fox".
The voice must have come from the Blood Apartment.
As a "Nine-Tailed Fox" occupation of [Wind Recorder], it needs to memorize and copy quickly, which is related to books. Although it cannot be compared with Chen Ye's spirituality in terms of mental power, its five senses are still strengthened to a certain extent compared with ordinary occupations.
In this case, it is possible to clearly distinguish the approximate location and distance of the sound.
With just a little judgment, it can be determined that the sound still comes from the Blood Apartment, not from other places.
But...other players living in the apartment did not hear the voice of "Nine-Tailed Fox".
Including her closest little spirit...
And consulted other players who also live in the Blood Apartment...
None of them heard similar voices.
In other words, this voice is specifically for "Nine-Tailed Fox"?
"Summon...this word is very subtle!" Chen Ye's eyes became a little deeper.
Generally speaking, only characteristics that have a strong attraction to oneself will have the effect of summoning.
Could it be that...
The thing from the underground of the Bloody Apartment has some extraordinary properties that can be of great help to the "Nine-Tailed Fox"?
However, there is no staircase that can go down in the Bloody Apartment. The only passage that can go down seems to be an abandoned elevator...
Underground...
Is it possible that it corresponds to a dark place?
Chen Ye's mind moved, and he immediately opened the [Wanderer Map].
He has now explored the underground world several times and has a certain understanding of the maze-like environment.
Comparing the location of Nanyang Road with the entrance to the underground world, it is easy to find the corresponding location underground.
"Red lightless place?" Chen Ye's eyes condensed, and suddenly became a little deeper.
From the map, the underground of the Bloody Apartment just corresponds to a dark place.
It still shows red!
It means that there is probably some kind of danger inside!
Combining various factors, you can feel the strangeness.
And...
This matter is definitely not that simple!
You know, a faint blood mist has appeared around the aura of Xiao Ling and Jiuwei Fox.
This means that danger is coming quietly.
But... it is not so obvious now.
And "Jiuwei Fox" has a special sense of the existence of crisis, so it feels strange.
This is a good thing for them!
At least it can predict the coming of danger...
Chen Ye tapped his fingertips, deduced in his mind for a moment, then looked up at "Jiuwei Fox" and said in a deep voice:
"Based on your description, I guess there is a copy under the bloody apartment where you live."
"Copy?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiuwei Fox and Xiao Ling couldn't help showing surprise on their faces.
"Moreover, this copy is likely to have a special item that can greatly improve you, enough to help you advance to the third turn, not an ordinary third turn, but an almost perfect third turn." Chen Ye's tone was a little more playful.
"The most perfect third turn..." The Nine-Tailed Fox chewed on Chen Ye's words again and again, and suddenly had the urge to return to the Bloody Apartment again to conquer this dungeon and obtain the characteristic items needed to advance to the most perfect third turn...
However, she quickly reacted-
"No! Such a dungeon... is definitely extremely dangerous. If you rush over, you will only get lost!"
After reacting, the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly shuddered and felt a lingering fear.
She took a deep breath and murmured:
"It's really weird... Every time I mention that place, I will subconsciously want to go there, as if I was automatically attracted."
Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and his mind associated a lot of information.
The reason why the "Nine-Tailed Fox" was attracted there was, as expected, because this characteristic was very necessary for her.
But similarly, she might have something that was needed by that thing.
Therefore...
People of the same sequence have parts that they need, so they will attract each other.
Perhaps this can also be called the "Law of Attraction of High-level Characteristics"?
After all, when the characteristics are higher, the advanced items become increasingly scarce.
When you come into contact with the level of ‘divine authority’, the corresponding characteristics become unique.
If you want to obtain this kind of “scarce” and “unique” item, it seems that you can only be a robber and snatch it from the other party.
But the existence lurking under the Blood Apartment must be more cautious and careful.
Therefore, it chose to summon the “Nine-Tailed Fox” in the form of summoning, just like weaving a spider web, waiting for the prey to deliver itself into the mouth.
“Then if I don’t take the initiative to go over, can I avoid danger?”
The Nine-Tailed Fox asked seriously and seriously.
“Not necessarily.” Chen Ye smiled softly, “Do you think… that thing can make you lose some of your rational judgment just by relying on the characteristics of attraction, and it can affect you even if it is far away. Is it a simple existence?”
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned and realized this.
Generally speaking, the range that characteristics can affect is conditionally limited.
Space, distance…
This is the most intuitive physical limitation.
Generally, only stronger characteristics can cross a long distance of space and cause an impact.
In order to avoid the Blood Apartment, the Nine-Tailed Fox once hid in the "Scorching Sun Church" thousands of meters away, and exchanged a silver coin for the right to rest in the public lounge for a day.
But even so, there were faint whispers at night, echoing in her ears, making her unable to sleep all night.
There was no way... The Nine-Tailed Fox had to return to the Blood Apartment again, and asked Xiao Ling to use her characteristic ability to help her sleep better.
This solved the insomnia problem.
But in the past few days, the Nine-Tailed Fox's spirit was obviously a little more haggard than before.
This kind of psychological pressure and burden cannot be relieved by sufficient sleep.
Obviously, the voice from the underground of the Blood Apartment may quietly corrode the consciousness of the "Nine-Tailed Fox".
Maybe one day, she will lose control of herself and take the initiative to enter the underground of the Blood Apartment.
"What should I do now?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's face turned a little pale.
Obviously, from Chen Ye's expression, this matter may not be as simple as imagined.
Xiao Ling beside him also showed worry for the safety of his friend.
"Don't worry."
Chen Ye smiled and said:
"You can think about it from another angle..."
"Since that thing is dormant under the ground, maybe the apartment you live in has some close connection with that thing."
"However, the apartment you live in now is not dangerous for the time being. It is just limited to certain rules. You can survive if you can't violate the taboo rules."
"It means that the danger level of that thing is not that high, or it is still in a dormant state."
"Since it chooses to hide, and with a less radical strategy, it may mean that this thing is in some kind of predicament, or has entered a state similar to hibernation."
Hearing this, the nine-tailed fox's expression eased a little.
According to what Chen Ye said... it should not bring too much danger to himself in the short term.
But soon, Chen Ye added:
"But... since this thing needs to be revived, it is very likely that certain conditions need to be met."
"You should know that in the world of the strange era, there are usually some ancient and powerful beings who fall into a deep sleep due to some accidents."
"When their power is revived, if they want to wake up completely, they need a blood sacrifice ceremony to restore their own strength."
The faces of the Nine-tailed Fox and Xiao Ling changed:
"You mean... the apartment we live in is likely to be the ritual arranged by that guy?"
"It is possible, but it cannot be concluded out of thin air." Chen Ye said, "I can go to the area where you are, arrive at the scene in person, make a judgment, and see what is there."
The Nine-tailed Fox's face suddenly became happy, and he asked quickly: "Are you willing to help with this?"
Chen Ye smiled and said: "You Don't think that I'm deliberately helping you. "
"I'm more interested in the dungeon. I didn't expect that there was such an interesting thing hidden under the apartment where you live. Of course, I have to find out what it is."
"If some rituals are really being prepared, once this existence absorbs huge power and revives, it will not only be your apartment that will be in trouble, but the entire park may suffer."
"That's how the last large public dungeon appeared."
"I have opened a lot of stores in the park. I need to make money this month, so I can't let this dangerous tumor that may affect my income develop quietly."
"By then, not only will all players be harmed, but even my business will not be able to continue."
Of course... Chen Ye didn't say one thing, that is, the closure of Yong'an Market.
The Blood Apartment and Yong'an Market, to some extent, are both places for the activities of the natives of the City of Destiny. The former is the residence of ordinary citizens, and the latter is the source of living materials.
In the current environment, most of the more powerful native families have moved away from here.
This actually has a benefit for players - when powerful forces withdraw, the number of indigenous people above the third level decreases sharply, and the danger is not that great.
Therefore, the surrounding area around the park is now a novice village that is more suitable for development, and will not encounter too powerful indigenous people.
Of course... this situation may not be completely stable, after all, Chen Ye has not completely killed the things in the pollution of the West River last time.
They flowed into the Sea of Dead Corpses, and similar signs of activity can be seen in the City of Destiny. It is even more likely that they will melt with other characteristics and gain more complex and powerful power. Compared with simple pollution, it is more difficult to deal with.
Now, Chen Ye is more curious about where the indigenous people living in the surrounding area have gone except for the part that has flowed into the park.
Such a large area, but there are not as many traces of indigenous people's activities as imagined.
The closure of Yong'an Market is probably also greatly related to the disappearance of this part of the customer flow.
So.
Chen Ye is a little curious, where did all this traffic go?
The Bloody Apartment and Yongan Market are similar places, both of which gather some indigenous people.
So, going there might reveal some valuable information.
"Great... That... Can I ask, when can we set off?"
When the Nine-Tailed Fox heard that Chen Ye was willing to help, the joy in his heart could not be restrained and overflowed on his face.
From the conversation of this mysterious boss, it can be judged that he is definitely an experienced player.
He has rich experience in dealing with this kind of weirdness.
If the other party is willing to help, it is very likely to play a key role in solving his own problems.
These days, the Nine-Tailed Fox has been troubled by the nightmare-like mumbling...
I always feel like there is a knife behind my back, against my heart, and it may stab in at any time.
It's not a good feeling...
It can be comforting for a day or two, but if it continues for a long time, I'm afraid I can't help but go crazy!
Chen Ye smiled and said, "I just don't have any plans today, let's leave now."
…………
After leaving the bustling pedestrian street, the surroundings suddenly became deserted.
The streets were empty.
Originally, when Chen Ye first landed on Longhua Avenue, he could still see the figure of [Glutton] passing by on the bridge.
But now, this group of [gluttons] has also disappeared, without even a single figure.
Except for the "underground world" and "paradise", it is difficult to see any traces of activity in other areas.
Even the group of wanderers who went to the "Scorching Sun Church" to pray before are now gone.
Among them, a large part was led to Xijiang by Chen Ye with suona, and became a labor force for work-for-relief, and transported a lot of blood to the "Manufacturing Association".
According to the recent news from there, the dividend income from Chen Ye's shares has reached 10,000 copper coins per day.
And, with the recent surge in wandering, the income within a week is likely to increase three times!
If that is the case, just calculating the income from the restaurant and dividends, Chen Ye can break 100,000 copper coins a day!
Caught up with Hua Shao and Shen Li Yinghua, one-third of the progress.
But it is almost on par with the current third place in the list of Dark Night...
In this way, Chen Ye has the basic capital to compete with the three giants of this month's list in terms of foundation.
The rest depends on who can show more cards in terms of additional asset income.
Chen Ye's next plan is to explore part of the dungeon to see if he can get more opportunities.
This is also one of the reasons why he agreed to the Nine-Tailed Fox...
At this moment, he was standing downstairs of the Bloody Apartment, and there was a deserted business district nearby.
The shops downstairs were basically closed.
There were only a few scattered figures, flashing quickly from the shadow corners, and they seemed unwilling to see more people.
Chen Ye opened the pupil of luck and looked under the ground of the Bloody Apartment. His eyes suddenly moved...
He saw a bad sign of luck!
