Early the next morning.
An Qian was waiting at the station with Shen Yunjia and Zheng Jia.
"An Qian, this is your fifth dungeon this month, right?" Zheng Jia counted An Qian's itinerary on her fingers.
He was filled with emotions and pointed five fingers at An Qian: "It seems that you are the chosen worker! If I open a company in the future, you will definitely be the first to hire me to work in my company."
"Don't think about starting a company with your head." Anxi slapped his hand away, "You will definitely lose money and lose your underwear by then."
"An Qian." Shen Yunjia took out a few bars of chocolate, "This time you only have the ticket and no other information. The place you are going to is also called Ore City, and you may be asked to go mining! You must eat more, To avoid fainting in the mine!”
"No way..." Anxi took the chocolate.
Hearing what Shen Yunjia said, she felt a little nervous. What if she was really asked to go mining?
Squeak————
During the conversation, the bus arrived.
This time she will take the red bus. The red bus is the longest of all lines, but has the fewest stops.
"I'm leaving." An Qian put on her fully packed backpack and solemnly said goodbye to Shen Yunjia and Zheng Jia.
"be careful!"
“Remember to contact us if you encounter difficulties!”
Shen Yunjia and Zheng Jia waved at her worriedly.
Anxi got into the car.
The car door slowly closed and drove towards Ore City.
The journey was long, and the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from buildings to dark and quiet woods.
Anxi ate breakfast in the car, looked at the scenery outside the window, and fell asleep again.
"We've arrived at the Mineral City Station. Passengers who want to get off the train please go to the back door. The front door only allows you to get on or off."
The announcement rang in the bus, awakening Anxi in her seat.
She picked up her bag and quickly ran off the bus.
As soon as she got off the car, she was dumbfounded.
In front of you is a city wall made of huge stones. The city wall is inlaid with various kinds of gems, such as amethyst, red spinel, golden and green cat's eye... shining in the sunlight, showing luxury and nobility.
The gate in the center of the city wall is flanked by guards wearing armor and holding long swords. Their armors are also decorated with monochromatic gems.
There was a long queue in front of the city gate, and all people or ghosts who wanted to enter the city had to be screened.
Anxi opened her backpack and took a look.
What should she do if she can't bring in this bag of props?
Anxi thought for a while, took out the correction fluid and stuffed it into her underwear. No matter what, the correction fluid must be brought in.
After sorting out her clothes, Anxi walked from the bus station to the city gate and stood at the end of the queue.
"Squeak——————"
After a while, another bus arrived.
Five or six people got out of the car, all wearing identical blue and white school uniforms.
Like Anxi, she couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the majestic city wall in front of her.
"This... I seem to have traveled to the European Middle Ages."
"No, I feel like this is a fairy tale world. Who would have gems on their city walls?"
They exclaimed as they lined up behind Anxi.
When An Qian saw them approaching, she immediately raised a smile and said, "Are you players too?"
"...What's wrong? You too?" One of the curly-haired girls looked at Anxi warily. She felt that the smile on Anxi's face was too fake and she was not a good person at first glance.
"Yes, you are from the same community, right?"
Anxi noticed the guardedness of the curly-haired girl, stopped smiling, and continued with a troubled look: "I am the only one in our community participating in this dungeon, and I feel so unlucky. And I also ran into a new dungeon, what? There’s no information.”
"That's right."
The short-haired boy on the side heard this and took over the conversation: "The letter just said that we should work as handymen in the castle. It didn't say anything else. I felt really unsure."
It turned out that he was going to the castle to do some odd jobs.
An Qian got the information she wanted, and secretly compared it in her mind, with a calm expression on her face.
She didn't dare to directly reveal that she only had a ticket but no letter. It would be terrible if someone took advantage of the information gap to frame her.
"Shh! Why are you talking so much to her!" The curly-haired girl grabbed the boy's clothes and reminded him not to talk too much to the strange woman in front of him.
The short-haired boy touched his head and muttered: "Oh... I think this sister is quite kind. If you just say a few words, it should be fine. Maybe we can help each other in the dungeon..."
The curly-haired girl glared at him, and the boy immediately stopped talking.
Immediately afterwards, the curly-haired girl took a step back away from Anxi with the other students around her.
Anxi shrugged, turned around and continued to line up.
She wouldn't be angry because of the other party's disgust. After all, the curly-haired girl's guess was not wrong. Anxi did intend to approach them.
The queue in front of the city gate was very long.
The guards carefully searched all packages and clothing and confiscated many items.
The line shortened.
As we approached Anxi, there was an argument at the front of the group.
"This hammer is useful to me!" A two-headed ghost with a stooped body and tattered clothes shouted at the guards: "Why do you take my things!"
The guard's expression remained unchanged and he said with a straight face: "If you want to enter the city, you must abide by the rules of the city. All tools that may be used to dig out gems are not allowed to enter the city. Confiscated items can be retrieved after leaving the city."
"You are being unreasonable!" the two-headed ghost shouted. He looked a little guilty and lacked confidence. He was probably really here to steal the gems.
“Either hand over the tools or leave.”
The guards on both sides stepped forward and formed their long swords into an "X" shape, blocking the path of the two-headed ghost.
"..."
The two-headed ghost was silent, but he did not leave.
The right side of his head rolled its eyes, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered something to the left side of his head.
"Okay, I get it..."
After a brief exchange of words, the two heads made sad expressions at the same time. He stretched out his hand to the guard and said, "Give me that thing. Can I go to the head office?"
Hearing this, the guard put the hammer back into the hands of the two-headed ghost.
But the moment the two-headed ghost took over the hammer.
He possessed him with a "whoosh", got through the obstacle of the long sword, and ran towards the city.
"Hurry up and chase!!" The guard reacted in time.
But the two-headed ghost ran very fast, probably because of his rickety body, running like a four-legged animal.
"Hey, what a bunch of stupid idiots!" The two-headed ghost looked back and mocked the guards self-righteously.
But a second.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Several sounds of wind blades rose out of thin air.
The two-headed ghost froze in place, with a few thin streaks of blood seeping out of its face.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and immediately, his entire body fell apart and turned into a pile of meat and fell to the ground.
The smell of blood spreads.
The atmosphere inside and outside the city suddenly became tense and quiet. Some ghosts in the team were so frightened that they left the team and ran back.
The guards had all knelt down on one knee as early as the sound of the wind, with their heads lowered, to greet the arrival.
"clatter."
With the crisp sound of the heels hitting the ground, a slender and elegant figure appeared, with sharp golden eyes.
