Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

On this day, a young man was heartbroken.

But it was also on this day that the boy fell in love again.

Chapter 31 Oil Lamp

After having dinner with Zong Xia Zixin and learning about their recent situation, Ye Qing returned home with Sister Weiwei.

After knowing that his two younger sisters were doing well, Ye Qing felt much more relieved.

Without having to worry about other things, Ye Qing can naturally focus on training.

Late at night, Ye Qing entered the game again.

She did not forget the task issued by Princess Feilin. Although there was no time limit for this task, Ye Qing did not want to fall behind.

Those professional teams are not so relaxed. When there are mostly no holidays, the training of professional teams is quite rigorous.

"You have to put some weight on yourself..."

Ye Qing cracked his knuckles, leaped forward and entered the game again.

After returning to the imperial capital, the first question Ye Qing needed to think about was how to enter the so-called City of Shadows.

The current known information is that the only time you can enter the city is at midnight. If you miss this whole day, you will have no chance and can only wait for the next day.

But after completing that mission in the basement of the guild base, Ye Qing had more or less a clue.

Originally, the owner of the house performed some kind of evil ritual to open some kind of passage. In the current situation, Ye Qing has reason to speculate that the passage may lead to the City of Shadows.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing returned to the guild base again and entered the basement.

After clearing out the "ghosts" in the basement, the basement is now a large empty room that looks like there is nothing in it.

This was completely different from the small room he had used to complete previous missions, which made Ye Qing a little confused for a moment.

There are almost two hours left, and Ye Qing still has enough time to think.

"By the way, if I remember correctly from the previous mission, there was also a box."

Although Ye Qing’s previous task completion rate was not high, he still got some rewards, even though that thing didn’t even have a description.

Ye Qing hadn’t had time to deal with it when he was clearing the level, so now is the time to take it out and take a look at it.

Special props: Lantern

Item Description: A lantern with a mysterious aura. It may be useful if you find the right way to use it.

At this time, you often need to look for something related to the prop, or study the characteristics of the prop itself.

Ye Qing simply turned the oil lamp over and over, but found nothing except some scratches.

"If there's nothing outside, there must be something inside, right?"

With this thought in mind, Ye Qing directly found a match from the inventory, lit it, and put it into the oil lamp.

One second, two seconds, three seconds

Time passed quickly, but Ye Qing found that the lantern in his hand had no response at all, and immediately wanted to give up the idea of ​​lighting it.

However, just as Ye Qing was about to take out the matches, the lights in the basement suddenly flickered.

"What the hell? How can a game have unstable voltage?"

Ye Qing smiled, she realized that this must have been a success.

If not, the surrounding scene would naturally not have any reaction.

As the lights around the basement flickered more and more rapidly, the oil lamp in Ye Qing's hand gradually emitted light.

However, the light emitted from the stained lampshade was a cold and pale light.

Not until the violent flashing light around him stopped completely did the originally empty room in front of him change.

Dark red marks suddenly appeared on the originally clean floor and walls, and even around Ye Qing, it seemed that some liquid was constantly falling from her head.

Ye Qing also felt her shoulders sink slightly, as if something was placed on her shoulders.

"Do not look back."

The low voice made Ye Qing freeze instantly. She was planning to turn around to see what was behind her, but was interrupted by the voice.

The reason was simple: the voice sounded too familiar to the laughter he had heard before.

"Are you the person who was in the passage earlier?"

Unable to look back, Ye Qing could only look around.

However, under the pale light of the oil lamp, it was very difficult to see the surroundings clearly. Ye Qing could only see the bloodstains all over the ground.

It felt like there was something sticky under his feet, making Ye Qing feel as if he was in a scene from a B-level movie.

The figure holding Ye Qing's shoulder was silent for a while, and the surrounding lights began to flicker.

"Yes."

"Can I ask you a few questions? If it violates your principles, you can tell me."

Seeing that the other party was still able to communicate, Ye Qing felt somewhat relieved.

She was afraid that the NPC was completely impossible to communicate with, and if she wanted to figure out these things, she would have to complete a lot of tasks.

"For what you've done, yes."

This time, the figure answered decisively, and the surrounding lights did not flicker.

Does this light represent her emotions?

Ye Qing frowned slightly, then asked.

"I want to know, what is the City of Shadows?"

When the words "City of Shadows" appeared, the lights flickered violently, making Ye Qing wonder if he was about to enter a boss battle.

Fortunately, what was waiting for Ye Qing was not a boss battle, but a sigh from the figure behind him.

The figure didn't do anything, but just spoke to Ye Qing in a low voice.

"That's not a place for humans, even an adventurer like you."

It's really not a good place...

Ye Qing knew that Princess Feilin gave the reward so decisively, and the place she was going to was most likely extremely dangerous.

Ye Qing will definitely go to that place. Since it is so dangerous, he must find a way to get more information.

"I have a mission and I have to go there to find something, so could you at least tell me how to get to that damn place?"

Ye Qing sighed, and she tried hard to make her voice sound helpless.

To enter an area that had never been heard of before, Ye Qing certainly had to make all the preparations he could.

The light flickered again, as if representing the figure's thoughts. Although it flickered very slowly, it finally stopped.

"You have to promise me one thing."

call......

Ye Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least that figure did not reject him.

"please say."

"I need you to help me find someone over there."

Looking for something again, and this time looking for someone?

Why do people who want to go to that world want to find something?

"Who?"

"I'll let you know who it belongs to, but you have to be able to get in first."

When the figure saw that Ye Qing had agreed, his tone became much more relaxed than before.

"I'm just looking for a way to get in now, can you tell me?"

Chapter 32: City of Shadows

"The passage here is only one step away from opening."

The figure behind him answered, although the mission has not yet emerged, Ye Qing is very clear that he will definitely not be able to escape this mission.

As the words fell, the flickering lights around gradually stabilized.

The sticky blood around him continued to gather at Ye Qing's feet, as if symbolizing that what was going to happen next was definitely not a good thing.

The foul smell once again surrounded Ye Qing. It was a disgusting smell like that of a rotting corpse, which made Ye Qing unable to bear it for a moment.

"Hold on, that's what it takes to get into that place."

As if sensing Ye Qing's disgust, the figure behind her patted her on the shoulder, signaling her not to be so nervous.

This made Ye Qing think of the scene he saw at the beginning, those people buried in every corner of the basement.

“Is this their blood?”

Ye Qing sighed. Even though she knew that all this was virtual, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.

To go to the so-called City of Shadows, the blood of innocent people is needed to open this so-called passage.

If there was a choice in this mission, Ye Qing would definitely try his best to avoid this choice.

Perhaps in the eyes of many stronger players, the purpose of completing tasks is just to pursue efficiency and results, and few people care about the life and death of NPCs as much as Ye Qing.

"Yes, this is our blood."

The figure spoke in a low voice, and his voice seemed to carry quite complicated emotions.

It’s a pity that Ye Qing didn’t find more clues in the original mission. If he could have improved the completion rate of the mission a little more, perhaps he would now know the ins and outs of the matter.

Now hearing the figure's narration, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the woman who hanged herself.

That was the most unique victim among all the victims in the room. That guy seemed to be the only one in the room who was hostile to the living.

When Ye Qing first saw the figure in the passage, he was also frightened by that person. However, he finally realized that the real threat was actually the hanged woman who talked the most.

"I want to ask a question, I wonder if you can answer it."

Ye Qing looked at the vortex gradually gathering under his feet and couldn't help but ask the figure behind him.

There was still some time until midnight, and she wanted to figure things out as much as possible.

"speak."

The figure was also quite decisive and did not talk about any more roundabout things with Ye Qing.

"The woman who hanged herself in the room before, was she also a victim of deception?"

"No, she's an accomplice!"

An excited voice suddenly came from behind him, causing the vortex of blood around him to tremble violently again.

But soon everything returned to calm. Apparently, the figure controlled his anger and continued to explain.

"She is an accomplice of the owner of this house and has an inexplicable pursuit of the so-called Shadow City."

An inexplicable pursuit?

Considering that the City of Shadows is a mission that has never been seen before, Ye Qing naturally has to find the connection between this thing and the known information.

After all, Ye Qing didn't know how the Shadow City came about, let alone the so-called inexplicable pursuit.

"That's a madwoman. She claimed that she heard the voice of the devil, so she went to that place to pursue the voice of the devil."

The figure's tone was full of disdain, as if she knew the City of Shadows very well.

However, after hearing the voice of the devil, Ye Qing became a little uneasy.

In the God War version, the first place to suffer disaster was the imperial capital.

However, no one knows how this thing appeared. It was like an activity that was suddenly launched and appeared directly in front of all players.

Now it seems that these things probably had signs, but the players at the time just didn't notice them.

"Have you ever been to the City of Shadows yourself?"
