Players Please Get In the Car

  Chapter 160 The Storytelling Old Man

   "Should we meet up with other players?" Tao Chengxin asked on the way following the girl in the white skirt.

  Besides them and the dead Shen Tai, there were also Wang Qiao, Gao Baimei and Tang Yuan.

   "Of course not." Sun Jiju said: "Those three people are dishonest, especially that Tang Yuan."

   "Most of the two players who held him hostage the day before yesterday died in his hands."

  Of course Tao Chengxin wasn’t really that kind to bring other people along. What she was worried about was: “The third task of the dungeon is to find things. The three of us are a bit small.”

   "There were other players who didn't show up following us yesterday." She looked at Xu Huo, "Is that player with Tang Yuan?"

   "You want to know?" Xu Huo asked in an unclear manner.

  Tao Chengxin was not sure what he meant, hesitated and said: "Actually, I don't want to know that much."

The girl in the white skirt who was walking in front smiled, "What you want to know is very simple. Three groups of people came to me yesterday. The first one was a man and woman, the middle one was a man who shot fiercely, and the third one was quite polite. , gave me money."

   "Mr. Xu must know these three groups of people, you installed a monitor on my umbrella, you should have heard our conversation."

Tao Chengxin and Sun Jirou looked at Xu Huo at the same time. At this time, his expression was completely different from yesterday. The two of them always felt that something was a little strange before, but because they were nervous, they didn't react. Now when the girl in white skirt reminded them, they realized It turns out that this person is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

  Xu Huo did not deny that his goal had been achieved.

   "If Wang Qiao and Gao Baimei didn't go to the Jimu Momo shop, they must have gone to the Xianmei Sausage Shop. As for the person who followed me, if he is alone, there is no need to ask about the relationship between me and the tour guide."

  He looked at the girl in the white skirt, "You told him about the Bear Claw Restaurant and the Fresh Sausage Shop. If Tang Yuan went there, there is a high probability that the two are together."

"You deliberately lured us into fooling us yesterday, let us check the authenticity of these places!" Sun Jirou immediately thought of his performance yesterday. He deliberately said that he had clues in front of other players, but half revealed it. It's Lu's imaginativeness that makes other players want to follow him!

  Tao Chengxin stared at Xu Huo, "We were all fooled!"

"I didn't expect anyone to be so cooperative beforehand." Xu Huo glanced at the girl in the white skirt pointedly. At most, he wanted to get some information from the local population, but the age range he delineated was thirty-five years old. As mentioned above, even if the elderly people in the building block fairy tale city are almost dead, no one can verify it.

  It is more convenient for other players to find someone spontaneously than him to persuade them with lip service.

  Whether someone finds a clue or not, it is progress.

   It's just that he didn't expect that the girl in the white skirt would show up on her own initiative.

  The girl in the white skirt smiled but said nothing.

  The few people were silent and soon arrived at the destination.

   This is a small courtyard at the corner of Fairy Tale City. The girl in white dress opened the door and invited them in.

  The yard was full of sunflowers. As soon as the four of them stepped in, the two sunflowers that were originally facing the door suddenly turned their backs.

  Xu Huo and Sun Jirou didn't care, but Tao Chengxin was taken aback, "Isn't this a prop?"

  The girl in the white dress turned her head and said, "I heard that this is a specialty of the E19 wormhole point. It's called Sunflower, which is not very smart. It likes to carry people behind its back."

  Tao Chengxin said in doubt: "Has the sunflower become a genius?"

The girl in the white skirt laughed, "Human beings will evolve, and plants will also evolve. This kind of sunflower produces a special pollen projection range under special circumstances, and its pollen will form a complete cycle around the sunflower. Once someone breaks this Cycle, and the sunflower will re-cast pollen in the other direction."

   "So that's how it is." Tao Chengxin said, "I've only seen evolved animals before, and this is the first time I've seen plants."

   "Plants, unlike animals, do not change significantly."

  The girl in the white skirt invited them into the house, and greeted the old man sitting in the rocking chair by the window, "Grandpa Bai, I'm back, and I brought some friends with me."

  The reaction of the old man on the rocking chair seemed a little sluggish. It took several seconds to turn his head around and said slowly, "Tea."

  The girl in the white skirt made tea, then pushed the rocking chair to the sofa, poured a cup for everyone, and then took the cup to feed the old man.

  The old man's hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't hold the cup at all. He took two sips of tea while holding the hand of the girl in the white skirt, and smiled at her again, "You drink."

  The girl in the white skirt wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

  The three of Xu Huo didn't touch the teacup, and the girl in the white dress didn't care, she held the teacup and said to the old man, "Grandpa Bai, they want to know what happened twenty years ago."

  The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately asked, "Are they players?"

After the girl in the white skirt nodded, he seemed a little excited and tried to sit up from the rocking chair, but he fell back before his back was straightened, and finally he could only hold on to the armrest to breathe, "Okay, okay, it's good that you are players, We must spread the truth about Fairy Tale City.”

  Sun Jirou and Tao Chengxin looked at each other, "Old man, please tell me what happened twenty years ago."

  The old man's cloudy eyes were shining brightly, and he said: "There used to be players in Fairy Tale City, but it's a pity that they were all killed by people from the government office."

"Twenty years ago, not long after Fairy Tale City entered the game, the government office deceived many players to LT Biopharmaceutical Company with the lie of cultivating players. They used players to do experiments. In less than two years, they developed a drug that can A potion that makes ordinary people evolve quickly."

  "The evolutionary just started using this medicine, and his physical and mental strength will grow very quickly. Over time, he will appear alienation symptoms."

   "But LT only told the players that this is a side effect of the medicine, and that the symptoms can be relieved by taking the antidote they developed."

"The players are not all fools. After entering the dungeon, some people discovered the truth and united with other players to resist LT, but they were framed as cannibal players by them, and they were injected with a large amount of evolutionary potions, so that they could be killed in a short time. Become neither human nor ghost."

"Some players were deceived and helped LT hunt down alienated players. Players who knew the truth died, and those who were caught were caught. Those who were blinded by profit wanted to let more players get useful props and weapons from the copy. , even put the potion into the drinking water system of Fairy Tale City."

"In just three months, half of the tens of millions of people have slowly turned into alien species," the old man said with tears in his eyes, "During that one month, Fairy Tale City had almost turned into a dead city. There is no living person to be seen outside, there are rotting corpses everywhere, and there is blood, and those who were once compatriots roam the streets in groups, eating the leftover corpses when they are hungry..."
