Soul echo

Chapter 215 "The Beginning"

"Teacher, are we leaving now?"

Lilian sat by the window, looking back at the city that was about to sink into the glass frame.

With all their efforts, they only stayed in Lyon for three days. Although there were some gains, they were not as obvious as those in the previous two cities.

For Lillian, 'Journey to Lyon' was a bit anticlimactic, arriving fine but leaving in a fog.

Originally, she thought that there would be a thrilling adventure, but unexpectedly, Zhong Ye took her away from Lyon in a hurry.

I don't know what Zhong Ye and Bishop Hill talked about the night before yesterday. Since then, he has become weird. He seems to be thinking about things a lot of the time, but when asked what happened, he didn't say anything. .

His strange attitude made Lilian not even dare to speak more, and she didn't dare to ask why she left suddenly.

But she didn't dare to ask for a while, after a while, after Zhong Ye didn't behave so strangely, she would ask again...

Lilian's question was not answered, but seeing Zhong Ye driving the carriage and leaving straight away, it was clear that they were definitely going to leave Lyon.

The girl thought for a while, and asked another question: "Teacher, are we going to find the production base of hallucinogens next?"

"Correct."

A moment later, Zhong Ye's flat voice came from outside the carriage: "From Annecy to Lyon, we have not found any information that can point to the top management of that organization, as if this organization has no top management at all."

—but it's impossible!

If there is no overall management, the organization will only become chaotic, and it is impossible to occupy a certain area and operate independently, and everyone maintains a tacit understanding and does not invade other people's territory.

As the saying goes, "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself", as long as there is a connection, there will be traces, but that organization seems to have no management class at all, and there is no trace left - even cultists have The management class, after all, the evil god does not directly manage the cultists.

"So, let's go find the top management of that organization by the way?"

Immediately afterwards, another doubt appeared in Lilian's mind. She also turned her thoughts into actions, and the question blurted out: "But don't we have no clues?"

"How not?"

Hearing Zhong Ye's rhetorical question, Lilian had more doubts in her mind.

Before she could turn her doubts into questions, Zhong Ye gave her a reminder: "The lord of Annecy."

--【Wow!Why didn't I think of it! 】

--【yes!The lord of Annecy wanted to cover up those drug dealers before! 】

——【If we start from this clue... Zhong Ye wants to investigate other nobles? 】

Lilian's eyes widened, nearly a month had passed since the Annecy incident, if Zhong Ye hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

But just like what the barrage said, Zhong Ye might investigate other nobles... No, he should have already started the investigation!

Thinking of Zhong Ye's strange appearance in the past two days, Lilian felt that she had guessed something. It must be that Zhong Ye and the Church of the Sun conspired to start investigating other nobles, so she appeared absent-minded.

As for why he didn't say anything before, but now he said it, it must be because he was worried that these words would spread, which would be detrimental to their next actions.

There's no one else around here right now, so it's okay to speak out!
While investigating the location of the suspected hallucinogenic production base, while investigating the nobles along the road, the two lines are going on at the same time-this is the adventurous life she expected!
Lilian was excited, and opened the task bar to take a look. Unfortunately, she didn't see any new tasks on it.

But this is not surprising, the missions of "Echo of the Soul" are relatively difficult to trigger, except that the missions related to combat are triggered randomly. Generally speaking, it is easier to trigger missions only when the "employer" clearly declares the reward.

Outside the car, Zhong Ye held the reins tightly, let out a breath of white air, and looked at the gray sky with snowflakes.

It's going to snow again...

Click!Click!
Sherlock slapped the icicles off the branches, and a pile of icicles shattered, sending pieces falling in chunks.

Because he had to keep holding the wooden stick high and exerting all his strength, his arms were so sore. After slapping for a while, and finally cleared all the dangers around the camp, he panted heavily, and white smoke came out of his mouth and nose one after another. squirt.

"So, from now on, this job has to be done by another person!"

If it weren't for the ice crystals that had just fallen all around, and the temperature was so low, Sherlock would have felt so tired that he would have sat down on the ground.

"But who made you taller than us?"

A girl sitting by the boiler raised a spoon in her hand, "It was agreed before forming the team that we each have our own duties. I am in charge of cooking, you are in charge of clearing the dangers around the camp, and Jeff is in charge of leading us and our backpacks—— This is what you agreed to with a pat on the chest!"

Hearing this sentence, Sherlock's face suddenly collapsed, and he couldn't help scratching his head and shouting: "Ah! I shouldn't have been brave before!"

The other two couldn't help laughing, although Sherlock said so, but he can complete his job very well every time, so they started to team up with him shortly after entering this game.

Of course, at that time, they didn't know that "Echo of Soul" had a function of "teaming", they just played together, and after learning about this function from the game forum, they immediately formed a team.

After a while of laughing, dinner is ready.

But it's dinner, but that's all there is to it.

It was cold and hard, tasteless, and could almost be used as a brick, but bread without mixed sawdust and a pot of fish soup with only one salted fish and a few mushrooms were the dinner for the three of them.

Taking out the wooden bowl, filled a spoonful of soup, Sherlock soaked the bread into the fish soup, and waited for the bread to soften and the fish soup to reach a temperature that could be eaten.

He took a bite of the bread viciously—even though it was diluted with a lot of soup and mushrooms, the salty taste 'exuded' from the salted fish still filled his mouth, making him shiver uncontrollably, and hastily turned off his sense of taste.

"It's terrible. Is there really no food in this era?" Sherlock said sadly.

"There are in the East, but in the West..." The only woman in the team shrugged. "Unfortunately, just like the reality, there are no folks at all—especially the Arabian Peninsula in this world is gone."

"Looks like we're almost there!"

At this moment, Jeff who was looking at the map while eating dinner suddenly interrupted and said, "According to the information provided by Lilian, there is a place around here."

Hearing this, the other two moved their buttocks, moved to Jeff's left and right sides, and looked at the map in his hand.

But just like before, I can't understand it at all.

The two of them looked at the fog, but in Jeff's eyes, the map was clear enough.

"Look, this is Horseshoe City, and here is Iris Mountain—of course, these are just local people's names, and people in other places don't call them that."

Jeff pointed out a square and a triangle on the map, "And here," he pointed his index finger one position down from the midpoint of the square and triangle, "see these two parallel lines? Mark, this should be the valley.

"I didn't watch the live broadcast at the time, but I went to the forum and looked at the screenshots. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the six suspected locations."

Originally, they were doing missions nearby, but the information given by Lilian's live broadcast gave them some ideas and extended the original adventure time a little bit.

Fortunately, every time they carry supplies, they will bring half more supplies to avoid any emergencies.

Although they are players, they can return to the city only by dying, but each character only has three chances to resurrect. After playing in "Echo of Soul" for so long, they have also developed some feelings for their game characters, and they are not willing to abandon them.

And if you don't, how can you call it an 'adventure'?

"Then let's act tomorrow!" Sherlock rubbed his hands excitedly.

Jeff thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's find out tomorrow!"
