Screaming Cycle

The next morning, on February 17, Ji Lu, Ren Jianmo, and Mo Tiangen did not go to Hourglass Cube as originally planned, but returned to Liange.

The reason was a message that Mo Tiangen inquired from Zhang Ying.

"Are you still in touch with her?"

When he heard the source of the information, Ren Jian raised his eyebrows silently, and his gaze stayed playfully on Dagen Teacher's handsome face for two seconds.

Zhang Ying was the female nurse who entered the "City of Ashes" with them and survived to the end. Later, she was recruited by "Compass" together with her good friend Min Qingqing and became two new members of the gang.

In the end, these two little girls were quite competitive. In the second "world", they performed well in the team and both stimulated their abilities. Now they have gained a firm foothold in the "compass" and become a gang in the future. Focus on the object of training.

When they were in the first world, they exchanged names with Ji Lu and others. As long as they want to keep in touch, they can indeed find people easily.

But to Ji Lu's surprise, the two girls didn't contact him, but instead took the initiative to find Mo Tiangen.

Especially the young nurse Zhang Ying, even on the night of leaving the "world", directly called Mr. Dagen to confirm each other's safety.

In addition, she also generously shared some of the information she had obtained from the gang to Mo Tiangen. One of them was in "Peach Blossom Spring", and there was a guy who could handle the collections for the participants. .

"Oh?"

Ren Jian heard this silently and asked with interest: "What does the so-called'processing' mean?"

"This person has a wide range of business."

Teacher Dagen broke his fingers and counted one by one:

"It is said that whether it is identification, storage, consignment, sale, purchase, or even bartering, and various fees...ah, of course I mean using points, which is much cheaper than the official system of "Peach Blossom Spring" ."

Ji Lu received Mo Tiangen's contact in the middle of the night yesterday. Although he heard that there was such a person, he had not had time to ask the details carefully. Hearing this, he tapped his chin with his knuckles:

"So, it sounds like an Erdao dealer who specializes in turnover of collections! Then he is a participant like us? Or does he have another identity?"

Ji Xiaoniao wondered, if the Erdao dealer was also a participant who was forcibly thrown into the "world" on the 15th of every month, then the problem would be a bit serious.

"Peach Blossom Spring" has regulations that when participants make a certain agreement, they can be witnessed by each other's artificial intelligence.

In this way, as long as the two parties are still within the scope of "Peach Blossom Spring", they cannot use fraud, breach of contract or violence to seize any points or items from other people. It is stipulated that the consequences will be so serious that no one wants to try the law.

However, if the Erdao dealer is also a participant, it means that he will be forcibly thrown into a certain "world" on the 15th of every month. If one fails, this big brother can't do anything. If he comes out alive, can the collections handed over to him be kept and sold on his behalf can be safely returned to the owner?

"I don't even know about it!"

Teacher Dagen shrugged:

"Xiaoying also didn't know the identity of that person, but I heard that he had rented a room in Liange for a long time as her own storefront."

As he said, he took out a small crumpled piece of paper from his pocket:

"I also found the room number. It's "Between Maple Leaves"."

In Liange, as long as you know a certain room number, you can get in touch with the renter who is using the room at the time, and you can enter if you get permission from the other party.

Ji Lu used his watch to try to dial the communication phone "Between Maple Leafs".

Soon, the call was picked up.

"Hello."

On the other end of the phone, a deep and magnetic uncle's voice came.

Wen Tun's words have a husky smoky voice, which is intellectual and elegant. It is comparable to the voice actor of a state-owned station's golden eight o'clock stage, and Su De can make people's ears pregnant.

However, in the next second, Su De's voice suddenly became irritable:

"I don't recognize your room number, so don't talk nonsense, tell me, what is your current'world' difficulty level?"

Ji Lu: "...F."

"goodbye!"

The magnetic uncle's voice over there answered swiftly.

"Don't don't!"

Ji Lu hurriedly yelled: "We just got a collectible, and would like to ask you to appraise it!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a second.

"Do you have a collection?"

Uncle Su's voice rose slightly, seeming to have some questions:

"You mean, the collection you got?"

Ji Lu: "Yes, yes!"

The man’s voice seemed even more troubled:

"You mean, you got it in the ‘world’ that just ended? It was really not given to you by someone else?"

Ji Xiaoniao: "Yes, that's it!"

This time, the other party was silent for longer.

About ten seconds later, the uncle's voice replied:

"That's all right, although I know I'm going to be unlucky today, but... come up."

&&&&&&&&&

Five minutes later, Ji Lu, Ren Jianmo and Mo Tiangen stood in front of the door of "Between Maple Leaves."

Like other rooms in the connecting pavilion, it has a white-gold round arched metal door with no words written on it. Only a palm-sized sign hung on the door door. It has a pure white background and a fiery red maple leaf in the center. At first glance, it looks a bit like the national flag of Canada.

Ji Yu reached out and buttoned the door of the room.

"Come in."

Inside the door sounded the magnetic bass cannon he had just heard.

As the voice fell, the door of the room opened silently like a voice control.

The room was a little dim, especially Ji Tuan's eyes were very good, and when he looked inside, he could only see a dark shadow that was about the same height as him.

He walked into the maple leaves a little nervously.

After the three of them entered the room, the metal arch behind them closed immediately, and in the next second, all the lights in the room turned on for an instant.

Ji Lu: "!!!!?"

He was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't believe what he saw.

Because, he saw, in the middle of the room, stood a tall bird, a bird!

The bird had long, thin feet, all covered with gray feathers, and a short feather crest that was curled up like a feather on the back of its head.

More importantly, it has a big head and a huge bird's beak equipped with it. It looks like the head of a whale. The beak is wide and thick, and the beak is bent down into a pointed hook, which looks very lethal. force.

And this bird was wearing a black silk robe and mandarin, but a hole was left in the original position of the cuffs and the back of the shirt, allowing its two wings and raised tail feathers to be exposed.

It has a pair of high-top rivet riding boots on its feet, so you can't see the appearance of its claws. It also has an oversized flap bag diagonally across its shoulders, with a gray canvas bottom and a red five-pointed star embroidered in the center—— It looks almost the same as the characteristic product of the era a hundred years ago!

Ji Shu: "..."

"Fuck!"

Mo Tiangen blurted out: "Isn't this a whalehead stork!?"

After the professionally knowledgeable teacher Dagen shouted like this, Ji Lu suddenly remembered it.

——Yes, this is the whalehead stork!

——It was once all the rage on major social software, originally from Africa, it is said that a fierce stork with a huge mouth can swallow fish and chickens and children!

"Bah, baah, babble!"

The whalehead stork in the black silk jacket spoke up, and his voice was low and magnetic, which was exactly the uncle's voice they had heard in the conversation.

"Please call me Yao Wanguan! You know, it's not a stork, it's Yao Wanguan!"

Ji Shu: "..."

Although his language is really not that good, it is completely a homophonic stalk of "wonderful waist". It's very good. It really fits his status as a second-door dealer.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Yao Wanguan."

Ji Yu tried his best to control his facial expressions, and put on a smiling face that was calm and respectful, "We would like to ask you to help identify a collection."

Whalehead stork...No, it should be said that Yao Wanguan walked towards the crowd with swaying steps, tilted his head, and swept across the three of them with his round bean-like eyes piercing and energetic.

"You are all F grade?"

Ji Lu swears that he actually saw the suspicion and contempt from the face of a stork.

But he nodded anyway.

"Then, okay, you guys take out what you want to appraise."

Yao Wanguan lowered his voice and muttered to himself:

"I want to see, what exactly can I get in the F-level difficulty'world'!"

Ji Yu took out the Moonstone from his trouser pocket, and heard the last words of the whalebone stork sharply, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

"...I have never heard of that, F-class ‘World’ can get collectibles..."

Ji Luqiang suppressed the confusion in his heart and handed the cyan-gold stone to Yao Wanguan, "Here, this is it."

"Hey, it's really a collectible!"

Yao Wanguan's pair of shiny bean eyes opened a circle again, and he stretched out his wings to fetch the Moonstone, but stopped before the feather was about to touch Ji Shu's hand, tilted his head and looked at him:

"200 points are charged for each appraisal."

Ji Yu pondered that this was indeed much cheaper than the "Peach Blossom Spring" fee, and it was still within the expenses he could afford, so he nodded without hesitation.

However, in the next second, he felt his decision, a heartfelt, profound, almost suffocating regret.

Because the stork opened his big mouth that looked like a hacksaw, he took a mouthful of his palm holding the moonstone, and then he swallowed the stone with a sound of "gudong".

Ji Lu: "!!!?"

Because he was so surprised, he even stretched out his palm in a daze, forgetting to take it back.

"belch!"

A few seconds later, Yao Wanguan stretched his neck, hiccuped, then turned his head, "vomited", and vomited the moonstone that he had just swallowed back into Ji Xiaoniao's open palm.

Feeling the sticky and warm touch of the palm of his hand, Ji Tuan bit his scalp and looked down.

The Moonstone is still the faint metallic luster of the whole body that he is used to seeing, but there is a very suspicious layer of mucus on the surface, and there are some undigested small fish and shrimp fragments on it!

Ji Lu: "!!!"

He felt like he was going crazy.

——Who will tell him if he can get this stone in the end! ! ?
