The sky in the Capital of Strange Sequence seems to be always gray.
It has nothing to do with weather or time of day.
It's afternoon now, but the light is the same as evening, gloomy, like a cloudy and rainy day.
But there was no rain and no clouds.
Gu Chi and Ling Mao stood on the street outside the hospital, looking up while chatting, their eyes could look directly at the sun in the sky.
It was as if there was a layer of shadow blocking the sky, and no matter how hot and dazzling the light was, it couldn't illuminate the city.
"The weather has been really nice lately."
"Yes, I haven't seen such a beautiful sky for a long time."
Pedestrians passing by called the sky "beautiful".
But in Gu Chi's opinion, this was worse than being tied up by him and wearing gray pajamas.
Not long after, Dr. Chen came out of the hospital with a wad of bills in his hand.
It seems that this wave of blood was sold for a lot of money.
Dr. Chen also changed his clothes into a white coat, which contained a light blue shirt with a plaid tie at the collar - pink, and then paired with the same pink trousers and shiny white leather shoes. There are many saucy bags.
Lingmao covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows: "Are you treating the hospital as a shopping mall?"
Doctor Chen handed the money to Gu Chi: "As long as you have this, there will be shopping malls everywhere."
Not just malls, but real models too.
His outfit was ripped from four real-life models, and he barely managed to put together a style he liked.
Gu Chi: "..."
No wonder Chen Tiantian wears stockings so naturally. Her gender will change, but some things deep inside her bones will not.
Half an hour later.
Gu Chi and the other three came to the real shopping mall.
There was a dance to attend in the evening. Gu Chi and Lingmao also bought a dress. After coming out, they walked to the Christine Rose Club, attracting attention along the way.
Regardless of their dazzling clothes, the charm of the three people is quite high.
Needless to say, Gu Chi wore lipstick 9.2.
Lingmao 8.1 is also a person with lipstick.
Dr. Chen is a little lower, 7 o'clock sharp, but he's so sexy!
When a man dressed in pink and white appears, his turn-around rate is even higher than that of Gu Chi.
Lingmao was very relaxed at this time. She glanced at the man next to her from time to time and was in a good mood. She found a topic to chat with Gu Chi: "I feel that the tricks here are simpler than the blood mist area."
No crying - a safer way to say is no tears.
Gu Chi didn't know whether the tears caused by various accidents would trigger the trick. After all, Legault had never tried it, so he had no way of knowing. Anyway, just try to avoid crying under any circumstances, and don't seek death.
Of course, Legault was not dead. Everything happened in a dream. In reality, Legault had been in a deep sleep. After Gu Chi asked him, he woke him up, confiscated his crime tools, and let him do what he wanted.
The trick of not being able to shed tears does seem to be simpler than not being able to speak. Except for crybabies, most people can't cry a few times in their lives, let alone players?
Gu Chi looked at his achievements and affirmed Lingmao's judgment: "You are right, the Evil Spirit Zone is free."
Seeing Gu Chi's determination, Dr. Chen couldn't help but think of the scene where someone turned off the lights last night. He looked at Gu Chi with suspicion: "You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?"
"How is that possible?" Gu Chi firmly denied what happened. "I'm a serious player, don't talk nonsense."
Dr. Chen rolled his eyes and thought to himself, if you were serious, I would be really sweet.
…
7pm.
With Andel's invitation, Gu Chi and the other three entered the venue under the guidance of the receptionist.
As Chu Tiankuo said, every era has its capital. Christine Rose Hall is more like a manor than a hall.
This high-class party, which brought together almost all the wealthy people in the City of Strange Order, was held not on a certain floor of the villa hall, but outside the villa, on the lawn dotted with flowers.
This is an open-air dance.
Not far from the entrance, there was a familiar round fountain, and a woman whose skirt was wet by the fountain.
"There must be something about this woman." Dr. Chen also noticed the fountain statue that was the same as the one in the square in the Blood Fog District, and then complained: "The carving technique is so bad that I can't even see the facial features clearly. It's better for me to do it."
As long as it's about using knives, psychiatrists are pretty good at it.
Well-dressed old handsome men and ladies were walking on the lawn in twos and threes, smiling and talking, behaving appropriately.
There is a pure black grand piano standing next to it. A young man wearing a tuxedo and neatly combed hair is playing the keys, playing soft and beautiful notes, making the atmosphere in the venue elegant and comfortable.
Ander, who was holding a glass of red wine, saw Gu Chi and the others, smiled and nodded, raising his glass to signal them to do as they pleased.
There is no host in this dance, and there is no need for a host. Everyone is in the same circle, and they are already familiar with each other. It is just a gathering for regular communication, and it is not beautiful if it is too formal.
No matter who you want to talk business with, what kind of business you want to talk about, or whether you want to discuss academic issues in depth, as long as the other person is willing, then it's okay.
The three of them found a round table to sit down and discuss business.
They were not attending the dance just for fun. Andel had said that there were many shadows in the city. To Gu Chi, these shadows were all side plots and might contain important information about the main plot.
He was not the only one who thought so - while observing the NPCs, Gu Chi discovered several familiar faces.
In addition to them, some players also came to the dance, including the girl with a high ponytail who fed herself medicine. She let her hair down tonight and put on an exquisite moon-white dress. She looked more mature than yesterday. flavor.
Dr. Chen suddenly stood up holding a wine glass.
Gu Chi: "What are you doing?"
Dr. Chen: “Let’s get some information.”
Gu Chi: "Have you found the target?"
"Is there any need to look for it?" Dr. Chen looked around and passed several beautiful women, "She, she, she... and she, she is so beautiful, she must have a lot of information about shadows. .”
Gu Chi: "..."
Lingmao: "..."
Noticing the strange look between the two of them, Dr. Chen coughed twice and explained, "I have a basis for this."
"Pretty women are generally more popular. People in the upper class pay attention to etiquette. They like to be polite and won't reject others with a cold face. They can chat with everyone."
"After going back and forth, they come into contact with more people, and naturally they know more things. It is right to ask them for information."
Gu Chi: "..."
It actually seems to make sense.
That’s weird! Just flirt with girls, and be prude... Ling Mao complained in her heart, but she didn't even bother to expose Chen Tiantian.
"I'm going."
Dr. Chen said: "Just wait for my news."
After saying that, he confidently walked towards the beautiful woman who was temporarily alone at the next table.
I don’t know what he said, but a few words made the girl tremble. Dr. Chen put down his wine glass at the right time, bent slightly, stretched out his hand to the woman, and got his first dance partner tonight.
No, it’s the first piece of information!
Seeing this situation, Lingmao was also a little eager to give it a try.
But she didn't want to get information from Shading, she wanted to get information from Gu Chi.
I've been thinking about it since afternoon.
Prom is a good opportunity to strengthen friendships.
Although she can't dance, it doesn't stop her from stepping on Gu Chi's shoes!
Lingmao secretly stared at Gu Chi, tying the fingers of his hands under the table, thinking about the appropriate reason to invite Gu Chi.
Do you want to have fun and give it a try, or do you want to experience Western-style social interaction?
He won't reject himself, right?
Lingmao is a little confused.
This tangle lasted for less than half an hour.
Gu Chi is waiting.
Wait for an emergency.
This scene is actually somewhat similar to the Shizhou Sword Trial.
In Gu Chi's game logic, the "prom" itself is also a plot, and solving the shadow is one of the keys to unlocking the plot. Other players present should have completed similar side tasks in order to obtain invitations to the dance.
And bringing players together in this way cannot be as simple as just drinking and dancing, other things will definitely happen next.
Not surprisingly, it should be related to the trick here.
Finding clues in the Evil Zone is not as easy as Lingmao thought.
If you don't cry, others can cry.
Gu Chi had probably guessed the direction of the plot, but after observing for a long time, he didn't see anyone in a wrong mood.
Everyone is laughing, are you going to show them a different face later?
Or did he guess wrong?
At this time, Gu Chi was like a camera standing in the corner, taking pictures of everything he should and shouldn't take.
He also noticed that there were several security personnel outside the venue with guns holstered on their waists, but considering the good security environment in the City of Order, it seemed quite normal?
After all, everyone present is the city's upper class, and safety is very important.
A few more minutes passed.
Several players have gained something.
Dr. Chen naturally has it too.
He has changed two dance partners.
Lingmao finally made up his mind and plucked up the courage to stand up, preparing to invite Gu Chi for a shoe dance.
But at this moment——
"ah!!"
A scream broke the beautiful atmosphere of the ball.
Everyone followed the sound.
I saw an old man wearing a dark blue suit and a red bow tie lying on the ground twitching. He looked old, with some gray hair and a thick mustache. Under the gray beard, there was a dry and wrinkled look. , bloodless lips.
A woman who was chatting nearby saw this scene. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and knocked over. The wine stained the lawn red. Her eyes were dull for a moment, and then she rushed over, squatted down and hugged the man's shoulders.
"Father!"
"What's wrong with you, father?"
"Don't scare me!"
Ander came over eagerly and asked the young man next to him: "What's going on?"
"I, I don't know..." The man seemed to be frightened, and he stuttered a bit, "I was just asking Professor Cliff about mathematics, but as I was talking, Professor Cliff... , He suddenly fainted..."
Andel: "?"
"Did you talk about math at the dance?"
"I, I want to please the professor..." The young man realized the seriousness of the problem and did not dare to hide his little thoughts anymore. Before Cliff became a business tycoon, he was a mathematics teacher. Cliff liked it very much. The title "Professor" also means he likes to discuss mathematics with others, because it makes him look knowledgeable and scholarly.
Andel: "..."
Discussing academics is really discussing academics, right?
Professor Cliff's daughter Anna covered her mouth and her voice sounded a little crying: "Please save my father!"
Ander said quickly: "Don't worry, I've already called an ambulance, and people from the hospital will be here soon."
"Miss Anna, please hold back!"
Don't cry, don't cry!
Anna stretched out her hand to feel Cliff's breath, her lips trembling: "I can almost no longer feel my father's breathing..."
Hearing this, the players' hearts trembled and they all reacted -
The plot is killing, so cool!
"Get out of my way!"
At this time, a white figure rushed over.
Dr. Chen is here!
At this moment, he had taken off his outer coat, revealing the white coat on his body.
Anna seemed to see a savior: "Please, save my father!"
"I will try my best." Dr. Chen said solemnly, "You go and take a rest first, and don't disturb my rescue."
"Okay, okay!" Anna was helped up by Ander and walked aside.
Lingmao asked Gu Chi in surprise: "Will Dr. Chen still save people?"
Gu Chi couldn't help but remain silent.
Based on his understanding of Dr. Chen...
It's really hard to say.
As a psychiatrist, this seems reasonable.
The people around him gradually gathered around, looking at Dr. Chen nervously, with a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Especially Ander.
He knows the magic of Dr. Chen and others.
This man even wore a white coat to the ball. He must be very skilled in medicine, so it shouldn't be a big problem to temporarily save Cliff's life?
Players have also set their sights on Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen's rescue methods look very professional, and he seems to be very confident. Can he really save a dying NPC?
Under everyone's expectant and nervous eyes, Dr. Chen rhythmically completed a set of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Cliff.
Then he slowly stood up and walked to Anna.
He kicked off his feet and did two backflips on the spot.
Everyone: "?"
What is this for?
Just listen to Dr. Chen say: "I'm sorry."
"I don't have a whole life for your father, I'll give you a whole life."
Andel: "?"
Players: "??"
Anna: "???"
Lingmao: "..."
Gu Chi: "..."
"Father!!" Anna was about to burst into tears, but how could Dr. Chen give her this chance?
Cliff's death was a plot kill, and other players could see it, so naturally he could see it too.
This sudden myocardial infarction and symptoms similar to Aspen syndrome, he used his head to save it.
It's just that he must stand up at this time, otherwise once Cliff is confirmed to be dead, Anna will cry and turn into an evil spirit, and the situation will be difficult to deal with.
He deliberately pretended to be treating him and gave Cliff a symbolic CPR in order to delay time - he needed this time to confirm the situation.
Dr. Chen is not a rookie who has just entered the Pure Land. When he realized that this was a plot kill, his first reaction was to knock Anna unconscious or even kill Anna. With his ability, he can completely do this and make Anna unable to cry even if she wants to.
But the question is, is there a second "Anna" here?
What if he knocks Anna out and another person involved with Cliff cries?
The dog game was so dark that he had to think about it a little more.
So while Dr. Chen was rescuing people, he had been secretly observing the emotions of the people around him.
After confirming that there was no problem, he took action on Anna - Do you think I am messing with things? In fact, I am thick, medium and thin!
Facing Anna's screams of grief, Dr. Chen struck out with lightning speed and struck Anna on the back of the neck with a knife, causing Anna's voice to stop suddenly and she fainted to the ground, exactly where the wine glass had fallen.
Red wine soaked Anna's dress like blood.
At this time, Dr. Chen had not yet let down his guard. He was watching the crowd eagerly, trying to make sure nothing went wrong.
Unexpectedly, Professor Cliff, who had fainted, suddenly woke up. He clutched his chest, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Anna lying motionless on the blood-red grass. His wrinkled eyes were filled with tears, and he cried out sadly: "No. !Anna! My daughter!!”
Dr. Chen: "???"
He took every precaution and thought about the possibility of anyone turning into an evil spirit.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Cliff would suddenly pretend to be a corpse and turn into a ghost himself.
An extremely cold breath burst out from Professor Cliff.
Dr. Chen: "..."
There is only one question in his mind now.
Who did Dog Game learn from this trick of pretending to be dead?
