Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Wei Mingchen! Wei Mingchen!"

Pei Zuocheng and Su Wen rushed back to the manor and hurried to the location of Jerome's room. However, when they just walked to a corridor in the manor, they saw Wei Mingchen at the other end of the corridor, so they called out to him, but the distance was a bit far, and the other party did not seem to hear them and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

"Something's wrong."

Just when Pei Zuocheng wanted to catch up, Su Wen pulled him back. Her passive skill detected two souls near the corner of the corridor where Wei Mingchen disappeared.

Although Pei Zuocheng didn't understand why, Su Wen's ability played a big role when he was tracking Jerome before. Although he didn't know what Su Wen's ability was specifically, she must have discovered something unusual, so Pei Zuocheng stopped.

"Let's continue to Jerome's room."

So the two of them continued to rush towards Jerome's room. A few minutes later, they arrived at Jerome's door and knocked on it.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Who?"

A woman's voice was heard from inside the room. It was the woman who had not said her name before, Alba.

"not good!"

However, after hearing Alba's voice, Pei Zuocheng immediately felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Su Wen's arm, pinched his handprints, and the two immediately disappeared outside Jerome's room and returned to Pei Zuocheng's guest room.

"You react really quickly." Su Wen said with lingering fear.

"You also noticed something was wrong?"

"Well, I sensed Jerome's soul energy in the room. How did you find out something was wrong?"

"Do you remember whose voice came out after I knocked on the door just now?"

"It's the woman who didn't say her name before."

"Do you think, knowing what we know about her now, that she would answer out loud in someone else's room?"

"Then what do we do now?"

"I think we can form an alliance temporarily. After all, the current situation is not very optimistic."

"I agree."

Meanwhile, in Jerome's room.

Jerome hid in front of Han Zu, hugged his legs, half of his head was exposed, and he observed the other two people in the room with some hostility. Wei Mingchen and Alba were tied up and sat on the ground in front of Jerome's bed. While watching the backs of Jerome and Han Zu, they observed the positions of the four people in the room. Wei Mingchen focused on Jerome, while Alba looked at the window. Prepare to find an opportunity to leave here first. It is impossible to confront the man standing behind the door with his back to her.

After all, when he brought Jerome back from the window just now, he and Wei Mingchen had been knocked down once.

"The people outside the room should have left. What are you going to do with us?"

Although they were knocked to the ground in the room without any chance of fighting back as if they were hit by a train, Wei Mingchen thought that it was only because he did not react in time, so the tone of the conversation was not very good. In fact, Alba also had this idea, but she was obviously much more low-key than Wei Mingchen. Moreover, Alba thought that Wei Mingchen should not be a simple-minded guy. He might want to deliberately provoke that guy. He should have some ideas of his own.

However, the man with his back to them, Han Zu, ignored the two of them, but looked at the things in his hand that he had just searched out from Alba and Wei Mingchen.

When Han Zu brought Jerome back to the room and knocked down the two, Han Zu found a sketchbook in Wei Mingchen's hand. It was the one Han Zu used to communicate with Jerome at the beginning. The pencil was unfortunately broken when he started, but it was still usable. Through observing the sketchbook, Han Zu noticed that there were many residual traces behind the pages he tore off, but the things on them had disappeared. Although it was not clear what they were, Han Zu guessed that it might be related to some ability of Wei Mingchen.

Han Zu also took off the glasses that Wei Mingchen was wearing. Although Han Zu had no facial features now, he could see things. Han Zu found that there was nothing unusual about the glasses, so he threw them back to Wei Mingchen. The position where the glasses fell was calculated by Han Zu, so that Wei Mingchen would not be out of reach, nor would it be too easy for him to reach them. If there was any secret about the glasses that Han Zu didn't know, then if Wei Mingchen wanted to tamper with them, he would be able to leave himself enough time to react.

The things found on Alba were quite interesting: a folded piece of paper, a dim crystal, a keychain, and a piece of metal that looked like a part of something. The function of the crystal was still unknown. The keychain looked very ordinary, which was consistent with the background of the dungeon. However, based on previous observations, the keychain should not be used to open the locks in the manor. Compared with the common keys in the manor, the keychain on this keychain was obviously shorter. As for the metal product, it looked like a part of a large key. From the shape alone, it was unclear where it should be used, but from the rust on it, it should be quite old.

The folded note caught Han Zu's attention because it was blank. Not only was there nothing written on it, but there was no trace of anything on it except the trace of being folded. But as a player, Alba would not save something that was useless, so perhaps only Alba knew the original information on it.

But Han Zu did not continue to interrogate Wei Mingchen and Alba. Instead, he returned the things to them, untied their restraints, and then opened the door of Jerome's room.

"You want to let us go?"

Han Zu nodded, and it was at this time that Wei Mingchen and Alba observed that the man in front of them had no facial features at all.

Although they didn't understand why he did this, Wei Mingchen and Alba still left Jerome's room. After their figures disappeared at the stairs at the corner of the corridor, Han Zu closed the door again.

"How come these guests are like thieves, and like other people's rooms so much? Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, I would be helpless even if they stole things in front of me."

Jerome released his hands that were holding Han Zu's thighs. He looked a little angry, but he was just a child after all, and his anger came and went quickly. Soon, with the help of Han Zu, he began to complete the first part of the ceremony. The ceremony was very simple. He only needed to draw a magic circle and then place the hearts of those specific monsters collected before into the corners of the ritual magic circle.

Han Zu was thinking while helping Jerome complete the ceremony.

In fact, Han Zu has already discovered the abnormality of this copy. Not only has his original identity in the copy changed, but the direction of the copy is also wrong.

This copy was indeed selected by Infinite Company and required Han Zu's help. But first, before entering the copy, Han Zu learned about the background story of this copy, as well as the various tasks and how to carry out them. Until now, it can be said that except for the fact that Jerome's sister has not changed, all other things are completely different from what Han Zu has learned.

According to the original process, Han Zu should be arranged into the dungeon as a distant relative of Magnus. Magnus went to another place for recuperation due to the recurrence of his old illness, and all the affairs of the manor were handed over to Ha Jin. But now, Magnus is very healthy, and no other relatives come to visit. Ha Jin, who should have appeared in the manor occasionally, now stays in the manor all the time.

Also, according to the original development, Magnus' daughter should also be in the manor, and she should stay in the room where her daughter disappeared. She is an important person needed to pass the copy, and Jerome will randomly refresh anywhere in the manor, because finding Jerome should have been an optional side quest.

And the most important point is that Jerome's father was not dead, but just blinded in one eye. He would regularly refresh at the fountain in the garden in front of the manor's main building. The side quest of finding Jerome should be accepted from him. But now, he has long been dead.

Second, there is something wrong with Jerome. Although his appearance has not changed much, in the original design of the copy, Jerome should be bigger than he is now. And because of the previous attack by monsters, Jerome should be scared, so Jerome should be very afraid of other people. This is why Han Zu did not recognize Jerome at first. Now Jerome is not only fine, but he is also trying to use the ritual to find his sister.

Third, according to what Han Zu learned, most of the key items needed to complete the tasks in this dungeon were related to Ha Jin, and some side quests required Jerome's father and Magnus' study. Han Zu knew what these things were, and normally, there should be nothing else besides these things. But if that was the case, where did the things that were just searched from Alba come from? What were they used for?

Even if the dim crystal may be related to Alba's skills, the keychain and the metal product are both products of the current copy. What are their functions?

The fourth, and what Han Zu thought was the strangest, was the number of people in the manor. There were too many.

According to the information Han Zu had learned before, there should be only ten people in the manor, including Ha Jin. In addition to Ha Jin and two bodyguards, there are only three cooks, a housekeeper, and three maids. But now, even if Magnus, Ha Jin, Jerome, himself and the remaining three players are excluded, the remaining servants are at least fifty people, and these people are not difficult to see. Even though the manor is large and most people are concentrated in the main building of the manor, there are people in other buildings.

The almost completely changed copy made the information Han Zu had previously learned about the copy become waste. This is why Han Zu did not keep the things he found from Alba and Wei Mingchen. Han Zu currently believes that there are two possibilities for these changes. The first is that they are related to the cheaters. They should have used some method to change the contents of the copy. Although it is a bit ridiculous, this possibility cannot be ruled out at present.

The second is that it is related to the voice that appeared in his mind before. It can change the message he sent to the staff of the Infinite Company outside, but the cheater cannot do this.

But no matter which situation it is, it is not simple, so Han Zu decided to add fuel to the fire and get everyone moving, which is why he let Wei Mingchen and Alba go.

No matter what the situation is, Wei Mingchen and Alba will definitely discuss themselves and their relationship with Jerome after they return. Based on Han Zu's previous performance, they are very likely to think of themselves as an NPC controlled by Jerome. Then naturally, they will think that Jerome should be an important person who will issue hidden tasks.

When someone knocked on the door before, Alba was obviously telling the person outside that something was wrong in the house. From this, it can be preliminarily judged that Alba must know the person outside the door, and that he is most likely other players. As for their relationship, it is not important, so it does not matter whether they run away or not. What is important is that after Alba and Wei Mingchen are released, the players who came to find them before will definitely meet again and tell their own news. For these players, they will definitely find a way to get close to her and Jerome again for investigation. In this way, Han Zu’s purpose of guiding everyone to his side will be defeated. In this way, whether he wants to investigate cheaters or abnormalities in the copy, it will be much easier.

Just like the previous mine copy, Han Zu also received some restrictions in the current copy. The flame could not leave his body and his attack skills were temporarily blocked. Similarly, there was no change in his physical fitness and vision, but the difference this time was Han Zu's perception ability.

This time, Han Zu's perception range was not compressed, but became larger. However, the trade-off was that although the perception ability was always on, Han Zu could only perceive certain things, just like the guy who sneaked into Jerome's room to steal things when Han Zu and Jerome left the manor. When Han Zu returned to Jerome's room, he did not immediately discover Wei Mingchen and Alba, so it seemed that players were not within the specific range. Moreover, the things perceived would not always exist unless they stayed within Han Zu's sight.

At present, the only person or thing that can be considered as a specific person or thing, apart from the thief, is Jerome. It seems that Jerome will be the most important part in solving these mysteries.
