The starting point of this game is the Tower of London. When Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe arrived, there were already several people waiting there.Different from the previous dungeon, the players in this dungeon are almost all in groups of two. Although the expression cannot be said to be confident, it can also be regarded as calm and calm. It is not the first time to play the dungeon.

Among the group of people, only one lonely figure caught Cheng Mo's attention.

This is a young man about his age, in his early twenties, with light-colored curly hair curled up in an obedient manner behind his head.He rubbed his eyes and looked around sleepily, with a bewildered expression that obviously didn't understand what happened.

That look reminded Cheng Mo of himself when he entered the game for the first time. Cheng Mo walked towards the young man and waved his hand in front of him: "Hi, are you okay?"

"Huh? Am I dreaming?" The young man shivered, as if he had come to his senses, "What place is this?"

It seemed that he was indeed here for the first time. Cheng Mo pondered for a moment, thinking about how to explain the current situation to him concisely: "Well...you are not dreaming, but the current situation...is a bit difficult to explain."

"This is a game independent of the real world. Every time a dungeon is opened, the corresponding property of the player needs to be mortgaged. If you successfully pass the level, you can get the corresponding points, otherwise you will lose the collateral." Seemingly noticing Cheng Mo's embarrassment, Qin Chuhe also left come over.He looked at the young man who had difficulty digesting these things for a while, with a look of familiarity on his face, "If you can enter this game, there must be a chance of being selected by the game, although I don't know what it is now, but At present, the most important task is to pass the level smoothly. If you want to know more, you can finish this dungeon first."

"It's really difficult to accept these things for a while." Looking at the silent young man, Cheng Mo comforted, "I was also very confused when I first came here, but you have to believe that it is true. It's not any fictional dream, and paying the price for mission failure is not lying to you."

"Okay, if what you said is true..." The young man nodded, suddenly swept away the haze on his face, jumped up from the ground, and held Cheng Mo's hand pitifully, "Can the old driver take me with me?" I?"

"No." Qin Chuhe mercilessly rejected the request, "This dungeon has a team size limit, and each team has a maximum of two people. Look around you, is there a team of more than two people?"

The young man searched around and found that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but lowered his head again, looking a little dejected.

"Well, although you can't form a team...but let's make friends, and we can help each other if we meet later." Cheng Mo patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Well, my name is Lu Yifan." The young man nodded, "Where are you two?"

"Give yourself an ID. It's not good to reveal your real name in the game." Qin Chuhe glanced at him, "I'm Li Ming."

"Li Hua." Cheng Mo spread his hands helplessly, and said his perfunctory-sounding ID.

"Remember." Lu Yifan nodded, looked around at the other players who had arrived one after another, and asked, "Is this dungeon starting soon?"

Before the voice fell, the electronic notification sound resounded throughout the game area.Accompanied by a cold female voice, the rule introduction rolled out from the center of the dome in turn.

【Welcome to Dungeon No.2738, the basic background of this dungeon is "Monopoly"】

【GAMESTARTS】

The electronic notification sound stopped abruptly, the subtitles disappeared, and Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe had a transparent map in their hands.The map marked the names of each site in bright gold. At the initial position named "Tower of London [Note 1]", a group of red dots flickered slightly, and a light gray ID name floated on the top of each dot. .Among the group of red bright spots, two small green dots are very eye-catching.

It seems that this map shows the real-time positions of the players, with teammates in green and the rest of the players in red.

With a sound of "ding dong", a floating square area suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe, and two crystal dice lay quietly in the area.

Qin Chuhe signaled: "You throw it."

"Huh? Me? I'm usually not very lucky." Cheng Mo scratched at his hair, but couldn't resist Qin Chuhe's insistence. He put the dice in his palm, shook it a few times, and threw it into the throwing area.

five o'clock.The name of the place they were going to - "Embankment Station" floated out of the void, and the name seemed to be a subway station.

There were envious and jealous inhalation sounds all around.The subway station is a relatively important location, especially after you have multiple subway stations, you can use the subway in the station to cross the area of ​​other players to reduce the high rent payment.

The map in Cheng Mo's hand flickered, and the orange dotted line slowly lit up, marking their route to this site, and it was time for them to set off.The two said goodbye to Lu Yifan, and then left for the Tower Hill[Note 2] subway station under the envious eyes of others.

The passage of time in this dungeon was much faster than in the real world. By the time they reached the subway entrance, the night had already fallen, and the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall happened to strike midnight.

"The subway is out of service. Please take the night bus or take a taxi instead." Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe were stopped in front of the turnstile at the entrance by the staff who were about to get off work. The tall and thin black man looked at them, "You go where?"

"Let's go to Embankment." Qin Chuhe said lightly.

I don't know if it was Cheng Mo's illusion, but after hearing the name of the station, the black man seemed to tremble.

Qin Chuhe raised his eyes sharply, and looked at the black man who hesitated to speak with a half-smile: "What?"

"If you go to Embankment..." the black man looked around and whispered, "There will be a subway on the Northern Line [Note 3] in an hour, from here to Embankment, non-stop."

"What time is it?" Cheng Mo asked.

The black man swallowed:

"59:61:[-]."

<<

Unlike imagination, the underground railway in London is very old, and there is a musty smell in the dark subway station.Most of these subway stations were converted from air-raid shelters, with poor ventilation, and several black water stains snaked down from the vaulted ceiling to the walls on both sides.Several vertical and horizontal subway lines overlap up and down in the station, making beginners who are not familiar with the routes dizzy.

However, Qin Chuhe shuttled through the station with ease, and quickly led Cheng Mo to the platform of the northern line.

It was already 58:24 at that time, and the electronic display screen at the station was empty. There was no sign of the next train coming. Only the seconds on the orange [-]-hour timetable were increasing little by little. How do you see it? It doesn't look like there will be an extra second.

00: 59: 59.

Tick.

00: 59: 60.

00: 59: 61.

An unbelievable thing happened, the 24-hour watch did not clear the minute and second from the moment of 59 seconds, but crossed the 60-second digit, starting from 60 and increasing all the way up.

At the same time, at the moment of 00:59:61, a rusty subway "dang bang bang" drove into the platform on time.

The appearance of this subway is old, the red and blue logo of the London subway can be vaguely seen on the rusty shell, and the two headlights flash a faint yellow light in the dark, which at first glance looks like the eyes of a monster deep in the darkness.The driver's seat is empty, and the joystick "clicks" into the card slot without anyone operating it.

The unmanned subway came to a slow stop.There was a sound like a jet of steam, and the carriage door slowly opened in front of them.

Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe found a seat near the door in the carriage and sat down.The carriage was empty, and the dark red velvet seats were covered with dark stains, reminiscent of dried blood.They were the only passengers, each other's breathing muffled by the rumble of the train hitting the tracks.

There is still some distance from the Embankment station, and this is the best opportunity to talk.

"I didn't have time to ask for your contact information after the dungeon ended last time." After hesitating for a while, Cheng Mo asked, "Are you busy these days?"

"En." In the dim light, Qin Chuhe nodded, as if smiling, "There are a lot of things to do."

"To be honest, until now I still don't know why I entered this game." Cheng Mo smiled bitterly, "I don't have any wishes that must be fulfilled. If entering this game requires an opportunity, my opportunity is what is it then?"

The shadow flying past the window passed Qin Chuhe's handsome side face, he seemed to be silent for a while, with a sigh: "Well, yes, you don't have any wishes that must be fulfilled."

"So, why was I selected by this game?" Cheng Mo saw an invisible clue from Qin Chuhe's expression, and he asked sharply, "Have I ever met you?"

Qin Chuhe's dark pupils suddenly trembled violently, and a look of almost pain flashed across his face: "Do you have any impression of me?"

"No, to be honest, not at all. This is what I want to ask you." Cheng Mo sat up straight, "Some of your movements make me feel very familiar, but I can be sure that I have never seen you anywhere .I thought about it for a long time, and even called my parents and former classmates, and finally confirmed that there was no trace of you in my previous life."

Qin Chuhe nodded, the momentary gaffe just now disappeared, and now he looked back to that rational and calm young man.He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the train stopped abruptly, as if it had entered a platform.

Embankment Station.

Qin Chuhe's eyes suddenly settled on a certain place.Cheng Mo followed his gaze——

A figure with full head of gorgeous hair was sitting outside the window where a little snow had fluttered at some time.

The author has something to say: [Note 1] Tower of London, the Tower of London, is a castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in London, which was once used as a prison and execution ground.

【Note 2】It is located near the Tower of London and belongs to Zone 1 of London.From this station, you can take the Circle Line or District Line to Embankment Station.

【Note 3】NorthernLine. Refer to [Note 2], only Circle or DistrictLine can be taken from TowerHill to EmbankmentStation. Here, the line is changed to the Northern Line out of necessity, but it is actually impossible to take the Northern Line subway at TowerHill.
