Urban Odds: Cry Game

The city that never sleeps——

In the brightly lit city that never sleeps, the huge black tower stands silently between the sky and the earth.

Few people know that the bottom of the Black Tower is not solid, but has a huge underground space.That space was originally used for refuge, but was later used by Dracula as a place to store data. Over time, it became a database with a huge storage capacity.

There are several layers of barriers in the underground database, which are not open to the outside world, and only the upper echelons of the blood clan have permission to enter.

Due to the inaccessibility of people, Dracula only arranged for an old man to manage it.

The old man has not been out of the tower for a long time, he guards his post like a ghost hovering at the bottom of the tower.No one knows his name, and no one knows his origin. The soldiers guarding the tower call him "ghost old man".

The ghost old man's office is at the entrance of the database. There is a small table, a small chair, and a candle on the wall for lighting.

He has been waiting for countless years in this dark underground.

On this day, the old gatekeeper was as usual, with a cup of tea on the table and a scroll in his hand.Reading is his only pastime. He likes reading records from different worlds the most. The things recorded in them are all kinds of strange and very interesting.

There was the sound of footsteps, and the man tried his best to lighten his footsteps, but in the empty stairs, no matter how small the sound was, he could clearly hear it.Going down to the last floor, the man simply took a step forward and strode towards the database.

The ghost old man maintained his reading posture without raising his head.He neither spoke nor looked at the cloaked visitor.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The closed door was shaken a few times and remained motionless.The man in the cloak lay on the door and touched it inch by inch. He came here for the first time and thought there was some mechanism.But the door is as smooth as a mirror, except for the door handle, there is not even a hole for inserting a key.

The man tossed for a while, and had to ask the old ghost for help: "Hey! Is this door locked? How do you open it?!"

The ghost old man didn't make a sound, treating him as air.

No one has ever dared to be so rude. The man was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the table: "Hey! I'm asking you! Are you deaf?!"

The anger seemed to hit the cotton, and the old ghost was calm and calm, not frightened by him at all.

The man slapped the table vigorously a few times, his hands hurt.He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth in front of the door, couldn't help lifting his foot, and kicked the door hard.

"Ouch!" The man hugged his feet and cried out in pain.

The old ghost couldn't help laughing, put down the scroll and said, "Elder, even if you break your leg, you won't be able to open the door!"

The visiting guest took off his hood, and he was the third elder of the blood clan.

The third elder's face was very foul: "Oh, I thought you were deaf!"

The old ghost laughed and said, "I'm not deaf, my ears are very good."

The third elder didn't bother to argue with him, pointed at the door, and said aggressively, "Do you know how to open it?"

"know."

"Then open the door for me!"

"This door cannot be opened casually." The old ghost said, "What information are you looking for, maybe I have read it, so I can tell you!"

The third elder sneered: "I want to find information about the demons, can you tell me?"

The ghost old man nodded: "Just ask."

It's okay if someone knows, so you don't have to find it yourself.The third elder pondered for a while, and decided to find out the old man's background first. He deliberately asked tricky and weird questions, but he didn't expect that the old man could give accurate answers even after asking several times.

"Have you finished asking? Please come back after asking."

The old ghost picked up the scroll again, and the third elder stretched out his hand, pressed the scroll on the table, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

"A janitor." The ghost old man shook the other's hand away, "I just love reading."

"Master! Let me ask you another question!" The third elder's attitude obviously changed a lot. He looked around cautiously, and leaned into the old man's ear, "Do you know... which demon race is the one that uses thread?" of?"

"There is no thread among the demons."

"how is this possible?!"

"Why is it impossible?"

"Then, what about other races? Protoss, elves..."

"No, not at all." The old ghost frowned, "Where do you see it, what kind of thread is it?"

The third elder didn't know how to explain, he hesitated for a while, touched a thread end on the cloak, and tugged: "Well... that's the thread!"

The old ghost looked at him with a "you're fucking kidding me" expression on his face.

The third elder blushed, but the thread was thread, he pulled the end of the thread stubbornly and said: "It's thread! It's thinner than this, light and fluffy, you can't see it unless you look carefully!"

"...Are you sure what you saw was a weapon?"

"I-I don't know..."

Ghost old man: "..."

Third Elder: "..."

The two stared at each other. The third elder didn't know how to describe it. He was having a headache when he suddenly saw the ghost old man standing up and waving his hand in the direction of the stairs.

The third elder thought that someone was coming down, but he waited and waited to see no one.The old ghost waved his hand and sat back down without explaining to him, as if nothing had happened.

"As far as I know, no one would use thread as a weapon," said the old ghost.

Third Elder: "Hmph! That's because you don't read enough books!"

Ghost old man: "..." =_=#

Third Elder: "I, I was wrong..." =_=b

With a stinky face, the old ghost put the scroll neatly away, and after drinking his tea slowly, he got up and said, "Go, I'll take you in to have a look!"

The ghost old man didn't bring any keys, he just raised his hand and pressed on the door a few times. Before the third elder saw what he was pressing, he saw the door opened silently, revealing a corridor behind the door.

There were no lights in the corridor, and soft light emanated from the charms on the wall.The third elder had never seen this kind of talisman before. He followed behind the old ghost, touching left and right curiously all the way.

"The curse of light." The old ghost said, "It's a curse from the God Realm. It's a pity that it's not very bright, but it's enough for lighting, and it can save a lot of lamp oil!"

"You did it?"

"Dracula made it."

"Dracula has been missing for a long time, do you know?"

The ghost old man let out an indifferent "Oh".

Walking out of the corridor, the sight suddenly opened up.The surroundings of the reference room are also engraved with glowing charms. Under the soft light, rows of giant bookshelves are neatly displayed, with no end in sight.

"The information about the demons is in the northern area. You can come in with dry food to check the information." The old ghost said, "About [-] volumes of literature, the amount of food for three months is about the same, no food is provided here. !"

Third Elder: "..."

The old man Gui walked slowly with him, explaining as he walked, "The volumes 590 and 970 in the Eastern District are records about the protoss. The volumes [-] and [-] in the Northeast District are records about the elves...not far away. Look wherever you want!"

The third elder laughed bitterly: "Master..."

"how?"

"Have you read all these books?"

"Of course! Do you think it's faster to check it yourself, or to ask me?"

The third elder was kind and generous: "Of course I'm asking you quickly!"

The old ghost took him to a remote corner and opened a large dusty box: "There are more than 300 volumes here."

Third Elder: "Oh!"

The ghost old man chuckled: "I can't answer the question you just asked, so you have to check it yourself!"

Third Elder: "..."

Ghost old man: "This box is the record of Lilith's revelation. Lilith knows everything. Maybe she has the answer you want."

Third Elder: "Haven't you seen it?"

"not yet."

"Can I take it?"

"No, I can only watch it here." The ghost old man crossed his arms, "I will supervise you here!"

"Oh, supervisor?" The third elder laughed, "Are you still afraid that I will steal the information?"

The ghost old man said: "The things here are all unique, you are not afraid of stealing them, but you are afraid of breaking them."

The third elder picked up a thick record and said disapprovingly, "So what if it's broken?"

The old ghost smiled and said, "Kill you!"

Third Elder: "..."

The monster locomotive has been on the bottom of the sea, and it didn't come ashore until the evening of the next day.

As the sun set, the city gate ahead was shrouded in a warm glow.

"It should be here soon, look, there is sand all over here!" Colleague A comforted Ode who was motion sick.

Odd took the medicine and felt better.He was lying on the seat, with his head resting on colleague A's thigh, and he was dying and said, "How can it be so fast! At least there is still a day's journey away!"

"Shall we go into the city to buy something to eat?" Zhou Yang pointed to the city gate in front of him, "It's rare that there is a city, let's go in and have a look?"

Colleague A: "Are you sure this car can stop halfway?"

Gun King wiped his face: "Can..."

Colleague A was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Gun King: "Yeah!"

Colleague A: "Is there a stop on the way?"

"Cough! I mean..." Gun King pointed at the city gate not far away, and smiled wryly, "We've arrived at Shacheng!"

People: "...Huh?!!!"

The devil's route in the deep sea is not affected by mountains and rivers. They don't have to go around mountains or run on rocky beaches. As long as they are coastal cities, they can reach their destination in a straight line.

"Hey, that's not right! If you go by water, you have to pass through a sea of ​​devils to enter Shacheng. It is said that the magnetic field is abnormal for thousands of miles, and there are frequent storms. Even birds can't fly over, and ships and airships have to detour!" Colleague A wondered, "Are we over this?!"

Odd: "...we are going to the bottom of the sea."

Colleague A slapped his head: "That's right!"

The monster locomotive entered the city gate smoothly, and stopped at the only station in Shacheng... It was in the way, and other cars entered the station without the tracks, and they lined up behind and honked their horns.The monster locomotive had no choice but to drive forward and stopped on an abandoned railroad track.

"Wait! You guys, where did you come from?!" As soon as the car stopped, the guards cheered and surrounded them, "Please show me..."

Freya raised her hand, slapped her caravan certificate on the guard's forehead.

"This is ours." Qian Linsha also provided proof documents.

The guards held the documents in a daze, almost staring at a hole in the thin paper.

Why is it different from the information received?They set off yesterday and arrived today? !

And what happened to this group of orcs?Didn't they have a meeting in the capital of the sea of ​​clouds?What are you doing here? ! ! !

Freya directed the members to carry the goods. They caught a lot of glowing seaweed and kelp, as well as a bunch of shells, conch, coral, and some unknown molluscs on the road under the sea. They looked delicious. They should be It can sell for a lot of money!

Baskets and baskets of goods piled up into hills, many of which were specialty products of the orcs, and were not available for sale in other places.Passengers passing by were very curious, and people came to ask prices one after another, so Freya simply set up a stall on the spot and started doing business directly.

Zhou Yang took out the fresh grass prepared by the dragoons, piled it up to the mouth of the locomotive, touched it and said, "Eat!"

The locomotive didn't eat it, it sniffed the fresh grass and stuck out its tongue to lick it.

Usually when it arrives at the station, it is fed by the blood owl.No matter how busy he is, the blood owl will always find fresh grass and put it in his mouth.

But now, Xue Xiao is still sitting in the car and hasn't got off the car when he arrives at the stop. This has never happened before.The monster locomotive whistled to remind the owner that the station has arrived, so get off quickly.

The blood owl remained silent.

All the stored fresh grass was brought out, Zhou Yang picked up a piece of grass, and teased the small nostrils of the motorcycle: "Look, there is a small flower on it, it is your favorite food!"

The monster locomotive ignored him.

Aix asked, "Do you want to feed it?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while, then grabbed a handful of grass and handed it to the monster locomotive's mouth.

The monster locomotive was hungry, sniffled its nose, stuck out its small tongue and hooked the grass into its mouth.

"Hey, what a grown man, I still need to feed it!" Zhou Yang smiled and stroked it, "Squeamish!"

As he ate and ate, the monster locomotive's nose flowed down again.Zhou Yang and Aix waited on it to wipe its nose and feed it fresh grass.The monster locomotive ate half a bundle and gave up. He opened his mouth wide and kept running his nose.

It sensed that the owner hadn't moved, and hadn't come out of the carriage.

Colleague A took Xue Xiao's sword with him when he got off the car: "What should I do with this thing? Should I take it away?"

Although the feather sword is broken, it is of good quality and the blade is sharp, so it can still be used.

The nose of the monster locomotive is dripping even more, it is so sad that it can't even eat the fresh grass it likes most.It couldn't see or hear, but its senses were so keen that it more or less guessed what was going on.

The feather sword was finally put back in the empty compartment by Aix, and Yujian lay quietly on the seat. Aix took a last look, turned around and jumped out of the car.After he got out of the car, the door suddenly closed automatically, and the monster locomotive used its own way to protect the owner, or rather, the only sword left by the owner...

Ke Lei didn't expect them to arrive at the station so soon. He was busy with the celebration at the moment, and when he heard the report from the guards, he still had a look of disbelief.

"Are you sure they set off yesterday?!" Corey followed behind the guards and contacted Sally Fando with a communicator.

"They're here?!"

"arrive!"

"Wow!!!" Sally Fando exclaimed.

"Don't wow, Freya is here too."

"Oh, I know." Sally Fondo was silent for a moment, and revealed a bolt of information, "Her father is also on the way..."

Ke Lei: "... Beastmaster?!"

Sally Fondo: "Yes."

Ke Lei: "How many troops have you brought?"

Sally Fando: "There are no soldiers, just him and an orc alchemist, just two."

Ke Lei: "...Where did the [-] orc army go?!"

Sally Fando: "Eight thousand elites are in the capital of the sea of ​​clouds, and the rest are all in Railway Town."

Corey: "..."

Sally Fondo: "Before the Beastmaster arrives, Freya will entrust you!"

The author has something to say:

The ghost old man has a special identity, which will be revealed at the end~=￣ω￣=
