Chapter 61: Dice Monster's Wanted Poster
On June 6, at 21: p.m., at the Cooper family's residence.
Ke Xiaomo came to the second floor, hesitated for half a second, slightly bent his fingers, and lightly knocked on the wooden door in front of him with his knuckles, making a dong dong sound.
"The door is not locked." Ke Yinzhi said.
Upon hearing this, Ke Xiaomo reached out to turn the doorknob, pushed the door open, walked into the room, and then closed the door casually.
Looking up, I saw Ke Yinzhi lying on a black recliner, holding a copy of "Ulysses" in his left hand and building a tower of playing cards on the windowsill with his other hand.
He pulled out a playing card from the deck, held it between his index and middle fingers, and slowly placed it on the inverted V-shaped structure formed by two playing cards.
After confirming that the tower was still stable, Ke Yinzhi closed the book in his hand, looked away and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ke Xiaomo was silent for a moment, then asked, "I ran into a strange person today while jogging in the morning. He called himself 'strange thing'. Do you have any clues?"
"Weird thing..." Ke Yinzhi muttered the name softly, suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at him, "Are you talking about the 'Dice Monster'?"
"Have you seen it?" Ke Xiaomo looked strange.
"I've seen it."
Ke Yinzhi shrugged his shoulders and put the book on the table. "Well, that thing is not a human to be exact, but something similar to a robot or a puppet. The person controlling it probably thinks it doesn't matter if it is destroyed, so they dare to let it wander around in front of us without restraint."
As he spoke, he grinned self-deprecatingly: "Well... at the time I judged that even if I caught this thing, it would probably 'disconnect' or self-destruct in an instant; killing it would be useless, just like swatting a fly, there will always be new ones popping up, so I ignored it. Now that I think about it, it seems that I should give it some respect."
Although he said this, in fact, when he was on the viaduct, his mind was full of Bai Qiuwu's affairs, so he had no time to pay attention to this dice weirdo.
Ke Yinzhi hesitated for half a second, considering whether to tell Ke Xiaomo about Qiu Wu's meeting with the dice monster on the overpass last night, but finally chose to keep it secret.
"Do you think there is a possibility?" Ke Xiaomo suddenly asked.
"what?"
“It’s a player.”
"It is possible," Ke Yinzhi paused, "but it cannot be confirmed yet."
"why?"
"According to the intelligence I have, those players should still be very weak. For example, the two players I caught earlier used rifles to rob the convenience store, not some superpowers." Ke Yinzhi paused, "So I think it's unlikely that players at this stage will have so many complex abilities."
Ke Xiaomo recalled the scene in the early morning and said softly, "Although that guy looks quite intimidating, his combat power is actually very weak. What's special about him is that he can shoot spider silk with extremely high viscosity and is not easy to break. Moreover, this is not his own ability, but he relies on some kind of technological device on his wrist to achieve this."
"Indeed." Ke Yinzhi raised his eyes, "So, what did it tell you?"
"It was talking a lot about the 'Ninja Clan' and the 'Disaster Dragon Species'. The gist of it was that I would be forced into a painful decision, but it didn't explain it very clearly."
Ke Xiaomo paused and said, "It also said... that it is a friend of Blue Crow, Magical Girl Ashes, and Black Goku. Maybe I can ask them to help me then."
When Ke Yinzhi heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he had heard some huge joke.
He coughed twice and said calmly, "When you hear the name 'Green Crow', you should know it's nonsense. In my impression, Green Crow never interacts with other people privately, not even me."
"Indeed, but I don't know why..."
Ke Yinzhi interrupted him and said, "Do you care a lot?"
"A little bit."
"You know, if every villain had used these illogical nonsense to confuse and disturb me, and I took it seriously, I would probably not be sitting here now, but locked up in Bedlam Asylum in England."
As he spoke, Ke Yinzhi took a sip of coffee and said, "So, I suggest you not to pay too much attention to such a person of unknown origin, otherwise it is easy to get yourself into trouble."
He shrugged. "Especially since that thing's mental state doesn't seem to be normal."
"That's right," Ke Xiaomo said softly, "I'm so ashamed. I thought I had cultivated my mind very well, but I was still affected by it."
"Don't worry. I submitted his file to the upper level of the Control Bureau last night. According to the feedback, the Control Bureau has transferred his information to the Super Hero Association, which means that this matter is now under the jurisdiction of the Association." Ke Yinzhi said, "Currently, the Super Hero Association has issued a wanted order for 'Dice Monster' on its official website, and soon superheroes will join the operation to capture him."
He put down the cup and asked with interest: "Then speaking of superheroes around Beijing, who do you think of first?"
"Blue Crow?" Ke Xiaomo blurted out.
Apart from Qing Ya, most of the other iconic heroes around Beijing were unworthy of their reputations in their eyes, and only a few of them were considered to be genuine. Therefore, Ke Yinzhi once said that if the brothers joined forces, they would have no problem killing half of the Super Hero Association.
"That's right, which means that Qing Ya is in charge of this matter now. With his strength, it won't take long for him to find out the truth behind the dice monster and arrest it." Ke Yinzhi said with a smile, "If you are really worried, I will go to the association to ask for you the meaning of the nonsense it is talking about." "Then I'm relieved." Ke Xiaomo lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "If you have any information about the dice monster, notify me as soon as possible."
"Of course, but you should take a break and don't be too tense." Ke Yinzhi raised his eyes and looked directly at Ke Xiaomo, "It's just a young calamity dragon. It's not as difficult to deal with as you think. Your sect leader is going to such trouble, and he also underestimated your strength. Maybe you can deal with that dragon perfectly by yourself."
“It’s good to be cautious.”
"But being too cautious will only trip you up. From childhood to adulthood, this is the thing about you that I cannot understand." Ke Yinzhi said slowly.
"That's the difference between us. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a ninja, and you wouldn't be an enforcer of the Control Bureau."
"Isn't this the same old 'character determines destiny' thing?" Ke Yinzhi said, "But it's really hard for me to imagine myself becoming a ninja. What's the difference between that and being a Taoist priest?"
Ke Xiaomo said bluntly: "If you hadn't encountered that accident, I think you would have become a gambler."
Ke Yinzhi disagreed and picked up the book on the table again. "Then I should be glad that I became a mutant. At least I don't have to be labeled as a gambler."
"Anyway, I'm leaving first." Ke Xiaomo said.
"Going to training?"
"Yes, conserve your energy and prepare for the battle in two weeks."
"Good luck to you."
Ke Xiaomo turned the doorknob, walked out of the room slowly, and closed the door casually.
He lowered his head and thought that if it was Qing Ya, he would be able to find out the details of the dice monster very quickly.
By that time, we will know whether those mysterious words are just nonsense or whether they really mean something is about to happen...
Go back a few minutes.
Ke Mingye listened to the faint voices coming from the next room. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he confirmed that his second brother was talking to his eldest brother in his room.
He looked up at the clock on the wall and thought, "It's almost time. I have to quickly meet up with Anti-Dog and the others at the dungeon location. While my second brother is next door, let the puppet out."
Thinking of this, Ke Mingye walked to the clothes rack, took out a casual T-shirt and a pair of jeans, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the window, released the trick doll from the windowsill, stuffed the two pieces of clothing into its arms, and ordered it to jump up to the rooftop of the duplex apartment building holding the clothes.
Then, the trickster puppet slowly put on a T-shirt and jeans, but his feet were still bare.
As for the shoes, Ke Mingye planned to let the trickster steal a pair of children's shoes from a nearby children's clothing store. It must be said that the spider web launcher is very handy for stealing things. Just stick to the spider silk and pull it up and you can get it.
At this moment, Ke Mingye ordered it to transform into the appearance of a 16-year-old boy, which is the appearance familiar to the three players including Fan Quan and Orange Peel.
After completing a series of preliminary preparations, it jumped up from the rooftop, moved at high speed in the block with the help of a spider web launcher, and quickly approached the children's clothing store in the Laojingmai District.
The trickster puppet shot spider silk toward the eaves of the children's clothing store, hung upside down on the silk, and reached out to open the high window.
Then, it lowered its right hand and shot out spider silk from the hidden window, which stuck to a box containing new shoes. It pulled it into its hand, quickly opened it, and put them on its feet.
The puppet then let go of the spider silk and slowly fell to the ground in a nearby alley, tidying up its messy hair.
As he walked out of the alley, he turned his head to look at his appearance in the glass of the children's clothing store. He looked exactly like a lively teenager.
"Should we burn some incense and pray that this instance won't fail? If the puppet dies once, they'll immediately realize that I'm lying to them."
Ke Mingye lay down on the bed, put his right arm behind his head, looked at the mold on the ceiling and thought secretly.
To be honest, it is very difficult to avoid failure in every dungeon, but fortunately, the anti-dog will only notify them after necessary preparations are made.
Although it was quite humorous, it gave Ke Mingye the courage to get away with it.
Soon, the puppet approached the abandoned train station on Street No. 4 in the Old Jingmai District, and at the entrance of the train station, three tightly dressed figures were waiting for it.
At the same time, the panel of the copy also appeared in its eyes.
[Instance Name: Crazy Train Station]
[Instance location: Old Jingmai Street District, abandoned train station]
[Dungeon Difficulty: F Level (It is recommended that players below level 10 form a team to perform the dungeon)]
Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you.
