indescribable cyberpunk.

Chapter 317 He Said
"How do you know that, a stranger?"

Zhu Jue repeated Atar's title to them, and his body that had been relaxed tensed again.

Although there is an essential gap between the regions described in "a foreign land" and "another world", this still arouses Zhu Jue's vigilance.

It's only the first day I've been here, and my identity has been found out?

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't find anything from you, but the very fact that you knew Sir Nelson proves that you are a foreigner. As I said before, I stayed in Ulthar for too long, Almost all the adult residents in this town are familiar with me, even if it’s not a festival day, they often come to me to pray or ask me for help, so if something happens in this town, it’s hard for me not to know.”

The world of dreamland may be much behind compared to the world where Zhu Jue lives, but this does not mean that the residents in this world are stupid. They also pay attention to some special situations, and even the aboriginals can easily communicate Identify some aliens.

Occasionally there are outsiders who behave strangely and no one will find it strange.

However, in recent years, a few people who inquire about treasures or monsters will come out every once in a while in Ultha Town.

The town of Ultha is not the entrance to some dungeon, so where are there so many treasures and monsters?

"You think you've hidden it well, and it's true. The problem is that the behavior of you people is basically the same. There are only a few questions back and forth. Anyone will be surprised, and many of them have found out The church in Ultha Town, I happen to have nothing to do, but I just asked a little and found out that each of them has a lot to do with Sir Nelson."

After tidying up some sundries in the shrine, Atar casually talked about what he found, paused for a while, as if thinking of something, and continued,

"You all came to this world through the dream ladder? I have never seen dreamers appearing so frequently. This is unprecedented."

Obviously, Zhu Jue was wrong.

What Great Elder Atal knew was far more detailed and extensive than what he currently knew, which undoubtedly aroused the latter's thirst for knowledge.

Zhu Jue's understanding of this world is really shallow. At first he thought it was a world similar to the European Middle Ages, but there were special powers and various magical phenomena and objects here.

When he regarded this place as some magical world he had seen in his previous life, he found that even in this world, indescribable things still existed and were known to people.

As a result, I ran into an old man who seemed to know everything now. He even knew the origins of these people and proposed a concept that he had never heard of.

Dream ladder?

Complicated information filled Zhu Jue's mind, and for a second Zhu Jue regretted why he had promised the gentleman to come to this special world.

"You said just now that this kind of situation has never been seen before, did it happen in recent years?"

Since I can't figure out many things, let's solve the problems around me first, Zhu Jue caught a certain point in Atar's words and asked back.

According to the gentleman, Shuojin Bank controlled the space gate, and he was just a captain of this organization, which meant that the space gate they passed had existed long ago.

With so many travelers coming and going, Atal and Uzza Town only started to pay attention in recent years?
"As far as I know, about 6 years ago, Usa Town began to have frequent appearances of foreigners, and almost every other year a batch of new faces would be replaced. Residents didn't feel much about it, because they were busy with their own affairs. But who made me idle and have nothing to do."

"Are you sure it's a new face?"

"Just because I'm old doesn't mean I have a problem with my eyesight. What's more, if it's the original people, they have to repeat what they did a year ago. What makes me more curious is that with the appearance of these new faces, before Those people seem to have completely left the town of Ursa, just like the strong man I met a month ago who bought all the prayer tickets. He said that he would continue to donate to the church recently but never appeared again.

Atar's words were like an ice pack pressing on Zhu Jue's forehead, and his previously muddled thinking immediately became clear.

Where did those who disappeared go, the rest of the team at the Shining Gold Bank?
I'm afraid not!
Sometimes it is like this, once something is figured out, the details that were accidentally discovered before now seem so unreasonable.

Other organization members of the Shining Gold Bank that only exist in the mouths of gentlemen.

You must enter the area where the space gate is blindfolded, a cave where no one else is active except for the two android guards.

The so-called saying that in order to ensure their own safety, they need to deliberately avoid the action time of other teams and that they cannot reveal their identities to anyone except the team members in the dreamland, otherwise they will lead to death.

There is also a black swan who has been in the dreamland for nearly three years, but is said by the gentleman to only come in 5 times.

Even the information given by the middle-aged man I met in Pasifica at that time is a bit weird in retrospect.

Traveler, dream eater, dreamer.

The middle-aged man only mentioned these three identities at that time, why didn't there be a shining gold bank in his words?

Zhu Jue didn't think much about it at that time.

Now it seems that the business card with the gentleman and special imprint is actually very easy to make, isn't it?
Just find a gold shop, give a template, and it only takes half a day to make a bundle.

He said that a key matches a box, but the wild boar opened the box that should have matched the key in his hand.

He said that Shuojin Bank has strict rules and extremely cruel punishment for betrayal, which makes all the newcomers dare not act recklessly and obey his orders.

He said that everyone must hand over all the special items on their bodies before entering the dreamland. It just so happens that the boxes for storing those items are taken away when they leave the house, instead of waiting to be collected uniformly when they arrive at the place.

he said, he said, he said
Haven't found it yet?
He was talking all the way!
The gentleman repeatedly emphasized the meaning of this organization and his own existence. He used various details to make everyone accept the concept of the Shuojin Bank and the rationality of his captain before entering the space gate. status.

Will anyone find it like me?

In Zhu Jue's opinion, there is definitely one!

Once or twice may be just doubts, but as the number of trips increases, anyone will start to think about the issues they are thinking about now. Maybe someone will ask the gentleman because of this, but it is more likely to choose to investigate secretly
A lie is a lie, if you tell it a hundred times, it's still a lie!

The gentleman should also clearly know that there are times when his lies cannot be concealed, but he cannot casually test the thoughts of the team members, because this in itself is an act of "no silver 300 taels here", and there is a risk of exposing himself.

So how can he make sure he can stop things from getting worse before the players find out the truth?

From the standpoint of a gentleman, Zhu Jue thought about what arrangements he would make to ensure his safety.

Yes, the meaning of the existence of the black swan lies in this!
Except for Zhu Jue, who discovered the deal between Black Swan and Brown, if other people have special ideas, they will naturally find a way to find other team members to verify.

Who to look for?

A companion who has only participated in a few trips like myself, and who is also in the fog, or a black swan who has five travel experiences when they first joined the team, and who can vaguely rival a gentleman?
This is not a multiple choice question to explore.

But what they don't know is that this taciturn woman is not a companion, but the fuse of a bomb!

Touch and die!

This is probably the reason for changing batches every year, because they are worried that someone will gain great power through this year's travel, and eventually devour them in turn.
"What are you thinking? I'm just asking if you want to have the opportunity to practice magic. Is it so difficult to make a choice?"

Zhu Jue's long silence made Atar a little surprised. In his impression, the goal of these foreigners coming here seemed to be this, but this person in front of him seemed to have heard something terrible.

"I just thought of a very interesting thing. Of course I am interested in practicing magic and obtaining more powerful power. I will help you expel the monsters in the town of Ursa. As for the investigation of the whereabouts of the "Nakt Manuscript", you can do it yourself." It is said that the traces here have been completely destroyed, how can I, a foreigner who has just come to Wusha Town and has not been here for a day, help you to investigate?"

Putting the matter of the gentleman in the bottom of my heart first, Zhu Jue is not going to expose him immediately, because the consequences of that are likely to be death and no one will be able to please.

After all, no matter what, the gentleman controls how to use the space door. If Zhu Jue wants to enter the dreamland space again, he must continue to cooperate with the gentleman's performance before he understands the ins and outs of the whole thing.

What he needs to play is to turn a blind eye.

"Since I entrust this matter to you, I will naturally give you the direction of investigation. There are some things that I cannot do, but you can. Just walk east along the Skye River for about 2 hours, and you will see a special town, get there"

"One thing I have to declare in advance is that I can't stay in Wusha Town all the time. I will return in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. The next time I come to Wusha Town may be a month later. It won't take much to expel the monsters in the town. time, but what follows does not sound easy."

Before Atar finished speaking, Zhu Jue interrupted directly. He didn't want to cause more trouble for no reason because he heard some secrets.

Since he decided to cooperate with the gentleman before thoroughly investigating the whole matter, Rao Zhujue didn't take seriously the idea of ​​damaging the soul. He also had to follow the gentleman's rules to come once a month, and each time he could only stay in this world for three days.

So there are many things he can't do.

"Do you have something urgent to attend to?"

"It's not urgent. In short, I can't stay here for too long."

Zhu Jue responded vaguely.

"When you come to this town next month, you can still only stay for three days?"

Atal seemed to have guessed something, frowned and continued,

"If it's just to expel monsters, then my reward for you will be much cheaper."
