Chapter 87 Earl's Manor (Please order first, second update)

Wu Chang followed Hamster hurriedly to the police station. When they arrived, they saw Jian Xing handcuffed and locked in the temporary detention room of the police station.

Outside the detention room, there was a mature camera.

Jian Xing was very surprised to see Wu Chang coming. He glanced at the guard and whispered to Hamster, "Why did you bring him here?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Of course I'm here to rescue you."

Jian Xing didn't react and asked in confusion, "You?"

Wu Chang coughed lightly, took off the town council badge on the chest of his uniform, blew the dust off it, and then hung it back on his chest.

He winked at Jianxing and said jokingly, "Remember to call me Councillor Sean in public."

"what?"

Jianxing is a journalist by profession. The inherent advantages of his profession make it easier for him to get information about the town. He certainly knows what the town councilors represent, and he is working hard for it.

During the two days since entering the dungeon, he had inquired from various channels about how to become a town councilor, but he only got a general idea.

First, one must wait until the previous councillor retires, second, one must obtain a joint letter of recommendation from three current councillors, and finally, one must obtain the support of more than half of the townspeople.

The conditions are in place, but he is still in the process of exploring how to proceed.

Who knew that before he even got in, Wu Chang had already taken over.

Wu Chang motioned Hamster to stay with Jianxing. He pushed open the sheriff's office, sat down on Morena's desk naturally, and asked:
"What's going on outside?"

Only a few hours had passed since the two last met, but after eating the golden flying fish, Morena changed her haggard appearance during the day and turned back into the capable and dashing female sheriff when they first met.

The unpleasant fishy smell on her body disappeared, replaced by the scent of rose water mixed with woody notes.

To put it simply, it’s two words: maturity.

The kind that's ripe.

Morena stood up and closed the office door. She turned around, leaned against the door with her back, crossed her hands on her chest, and said:
"We were organizing a team to capture the escaped Marty. When we were searching in the mountainous area, we saw him sneaking up to the Earl's manor, preparing to take pictures of something, so we arrested him."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, "That is to say, he hasn't done anything bad yet."

Morena knew what Wu Chang meant and said, "This is Briver Island. Earl Jermaine is the lord of the island. It is a serious crime to approach the lord's manor without permission."

"He and you came to the island together. I guess you might know each other, so I'll let you take a look first."

Tsk, he is worthy of being the sheriff, he is very sensitive. However, this sentence sounds like Morena is pointing at him.

Wu Chang pretended not to understand and said, "Before we came to the island, we did have some friendship, and he helped me a lot. The Earl is gone now, and the Earl's manor has been abandoned. I don't think we need to be too nervous."

Morena looked at Wu Chang meaningfully, leaned down close to his ear, and whispered:

"Some things should not be explored, so it's best to stay away from them. This will not benefit either him or you."

"You mean to say that there are things in the Earl's manor that we shouldn't know about?"

"I mean……"

Just as Morena was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of the sheriff's office.

A policeman shouted outside the door: "Sheriff, someone found that the bronze statue of the Earl on the pier was broken!"

Morena's face suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something bad. He immediately picked up his coat and prepared to leave. Before opening the door, he said to Wu Chang:

"I have something to do here, we can talk about the rest later. You can take the man outside, but remember my words, next time you catch him, he won't be so lucky."

"Thank you."

When Morena left, she took all the police officers, including the hamster, with her. She threw the key to the detention room in the lobby of the police station, leaving it to Wu Chang to release the person on his own.

Wu Chang opened the iron gate of the detention room and threw the key to Jian Xing, "We can go now."

Jian Xing opened the handcuffs, looked in the direction where Morena and the others left, and asked; "What happened?"

Wu Chang: "I don't know either. It seems that there was an earthquake at the seaside, and a bronze statue collapsed." Jian Xing came out of the detention room. He stared at Wu Chang's councillor badge and asked in confusion: "How did you become a town councillor?"

"Maybe it's just luck." Wu Chang smiled brightly, highlighting his straightforwardness and lack of ulterior motives.

"Because the previous postman committed suicide, the post office had a lot of mail piled up. After I delivered all the mail, the mayor approached me and insisted that I become a town council member."

There is no doubt that this is true.

Jian Xing seemed to have the ability to distinguish lies and believed Wu Chang easily. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled with relief.

How does the saying go, human life is worse than dog's luck.

"You are really lucky."

If he could become a town councillor in Briver and, if nothing unexpected happened, complete the main quest one and leave the dungeon alive, it wouldn't be a problem.

Wu Chang asked, "Then how were you caught by the police?"

With Jian Xing's strength, it is not difficult to hide his identity. Even if he does not want to conflict with the police and cause his good and evil value to decrease, he always has time to cover his face and run away.

When talking about being caught by the police, Jianxing's face showed fear.

"The Earl's manor is usually guarded, so it's difficult to observe carefully. Today is God's Grace Day, and I want to sneak in and investigate while the townspeople are attending the carnival."

"But when I got closer, I found that the Earl's manor was shrouded by an unknown force, and it was impossible to enter from the outside. I tried many methods, and even attacked the gate, but I couldn't break through that layer of power."

"Even you can't get in?!" Wu Chang's face was full of disbelief, but he actually thought in his heart, it's right that you can't get in.

If it was so easy to get in, the veteran players in Deep Water Society wouldn't have taken the risk of turning on the switch in the lighthouse, causing the other world to fall into chaos, and the former reporter wouldn't have died in the other world of the burning town.

Jian Xing continued, "When I went around a certain area of ​​the manor, the camera suddenly started taking pictures. That photo shoot was different from the previous ones. One photo directly increased my inspiration limit by 10 points."

"I just took one look at the photo and felt a sharp pain in my head. I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I was taken back to the police station."

No wonder Jianxing was caught by the police. It seemed that Jianxing’s inspiration value skyrocketed, and he saw something incredible in the photo. He failed the will judgment and fainted directly.

Interesting, let me see what's going on.

Wu Chang asked, "Can I see that photo?"

Jian Xing took out a photo from his personal space and said, "It seems that the content in the photo requires a high enough inspiration value to be seen. If you feel dizzy or mentally uncomfortable, don't force yourself."

The image in the photo is the side door of the Earl's manor. Although it is not as majestic as the main door, it is closer to the main house of the manor.

Jian Xing pointed at the two statues in front of the side door and said, "Relax and try to remove the constraints of your will on your inspiration. Don't just use your eyes to observe the details of the photo, but feel the existence in the photo."

"Try to see if you can see two gargoyle statues. Although you may not believe it when I tell you, they really exist, and I suspect that these two statues are blocking the way to the Earl's manor."

Wu Chang frowned. He did see two gargoyle statues, but he was sure that they were definitely not the ones blocking the entrance to the Earl's manor.

Because the gargoyle statues are purely decorative, the real message lies in the stone base on which the two gargoyles stand.

Those two bases were clearly two groups of players squeezed into cubes.

This scene reminded Wu Chang of a dish, pressed pork.

Stew the pig's head until it is soft, peel it, split it, wrap it up and press it down with a huge stone. After one or several nights, it will become a solid piece of meat like a compressed biscuit.

The status of the two players is extremely similar to that of embossed meat.

Wu Chang didn't bother to look at the resentment of the two players, and asked tentatively: "Is there anything else in the photo?"

Jian Xing shook his head, "No more."

Wu Chang took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

He really wanted to point at the main house that occupied the absolute C position in the photo and ask Jian Xing loudly, "Can't you really see such a huge faceless Madonna lying on the redundant main house?"

There will be at least two more updates today, but the last two will be posted later, in the afternoon or evening. I will post them when I finish writing them.
