Chapter 106 104. Duncan’s warning (Nie’s reward will be added)
Duncan! Russell, who always had a calm expression, focused his eyes.
Isn't this the old man's friend from more than ten years ago?
Duncan is still alive? Can you still send me information?
wrong! What does he mean when he says he is outside the real world?
Russell's thoughts were spinning, and he continued to read:
"I can only affect reality to a very limited extent, and I cannot proactively disclose certain important information to the real world, such as where to rescue me and how to rescue me." This is the
trapped Somewhere? Or is it in some kind of non-existence between life and death?
Was he given some kind of special ban? Can't pass certain information to the outside world? Russell suddenly had a suspicion.
"Then how should I save you?" Russell murmured in a low voice, while slowly unfolding the note, and the subsequent content of the note continued to answer his questions like a prophet: "I can see certain nodes in the future
. As long as you walk through these future nodes normally and follow the trajectory of destiny, you can finally save me.
"If the college professor assigns you any tasks, you should take the initiative and actively complete these tasks before you can learn the secrets from the cult people . "
The words of a good stickman are worthy of being a student of the Department of Astrology and Numerology. Is this really a first-year student? A
mission?
What I'm talking about here is the mission assigned to me by Professor Black Amber to monitor the Red Devil Cultists of Chaos?"
What does it mean to be proactive?
Russell thought for a moment and suddenly had a guess:
Professor Black Amber is now letting others keep an eye on vermouth.
And according to Duncan's instructions, he should take the initiative to track the movements of vermouth!
Duncan foresees that if If I follow Vermouth, I will definitely find valuable information?
And this information may contain the conditions for rescuing Duncan, or at least be related to it?
"Besides, what else can I do? "
Although he knew that he was just reading a written note and not talking to someone, Russell still deliberately whispered, as if the person who wrote the note could predict what he was saying in advance. Russell spoke in a low
voice , while continuing to slowly unfold the note, his eyes moved downward.
A new "answer" appeared:
"In the next three days, you will definitely find the footprints of the devil again.
"At the end of the school year, the blood redness bred in the chaos will explode.
"Also, when questions arise in your mind in the future, the book may tell you the answer. "
Russell tried to understand these words of the magic stick and translated them into words that he could understand:
In the next three days, will he find traces of the actions of the devil cultists? Do you need to pay attention to this trace?
And at the end of the school year, the Red Order of Chaos will have a big attack Action.
Only 4 months left!
"The book may tell you the answer"? What does this mean? Russell has difficulty understanding.
He suspects that Duncan means that if you encounter any problems in the future, you can consider going to the college library to check Books.
Because in the current Internet age, physical books are used less and less, and the most concentrated place for books is the library. There
may be secrets in the college library that you are not aware of!
Russell's eyes moved to the end of the note , after reading the last few lines:
"One last reminder, remember, don't tell anyone! "
If it weren't for Duncan's emphasis, Russell would have wanted to tell the old man this information.
If this student who had been repeating grades for decades knew that his former best friend Duncan had sent the news, he would definitely be very excited... Thinking of this, Russell was actually a little sentimental.
The two classmates, who spanned time and space, could not meet each other for some reasons.
Just when Russell was thinking about what to do with the note, the note suddenly spontaneously ignited.
A faint blue light appeared on the white paper. The flame, the next moment, the entire note was engulfed in flames.
The flame suddenly appeared and disappeared, not even ashes were left. And Russell's hand did not feel the heat of the flame.
The note disappeared, in his hand It was empty, with nothing. Everything
just now, Duncan's plea for help, warnings and reminders about the future, everything seemed like a dream.
Russell turned his head and saw Subway sitting in his seat playing with his mobile phone, not paying attention at all Something strange happened to him.
Do you want to trust this Duncan? Russell tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought. What's more
, even if the initiator of the distress letter calls himself Duncan, it may not be the Duncan the old man knows, or he may be pretending to be Duncan. Other people in the name.
Traces of Satanists will be found in the next three days... Actively track vermouth... If you encounter any problems, you can go to the library to check the books... Russell probably went through these Duncan's warnings in his mind, I wrote it down. There seemed to be no traces of traps in these warnings, and they only involved things that normal Russell would do.
After thinking for a while, Russell put the episode behind him, returned to reality, and turned his gaze He turned to the computer in front of his desk and prepared to continue the original task -
it was time to buy some extraordinary items.
Russell clicked the mouse and found the transaction area of the college's official website.
Except for looking at it during the first semester, Russell did not do much after that. Browsed the trading area.
The transactions on the official website of the college follow a set of fair rules. Any student can register a store and list the items he wants to sell in the trading area of the official website. There are also cases where multiple students work together to operate a store. Joint
venture Most of the students in a shop came from the same college force, representing a certain gang in the college, and ran the shop. After looking at it for
a while, Russell suddenly discovered something was wrong:
"Strange, compared to the beginning of the school year, the official website trading area Why has the price of extraordinary items increased so much? "
Take the lightning strike talisman as an example - it is the same talisman that Russell used on the Emerald Cat during the previous magic showdown. Russell noticed at the beginning of the school year that the price of this second-year level talisman is about 4 to 5 college gold coins, which is relatively rare. The most it can be sold for is 6 college gold coins.
But now, the price of the same lightning strike charm has actually risen to 8 college gold coins.
Russell compared several other impressive products, and the prices are all higher than before.
Even more strange What's interesting is that the shops in the trading area are now very different from those at the beginning of the school year.
Russell saw several cheaper shops before and deliberately collected them, but now they have all been written off. The
remaining shops now, The prices are not very fair.
"Fortunately, I looked at the prices half a year ago and know that these products can be cheaper. Otherwise, I will place an order. "Russell was unhappy.
Of the college gold coins he had on hand, after deducting the second-year tuition and textbook budget, he still had 32 gold coins at his disposal. However, at the current prices of mainstream extraordinary items in the trading area, he could not buy anything and squandered them all.
Russell was even lucky that he spent 2 gold coins to buy various occult materials a few months ago. If you buy it now, you will definitely waste more money.
"What's going on? Has the price increased collectively?"
Russell glanced at the few dozen or so shops left in the trading area.
The name of a store attracted him.
The customer service staff of the "White Wolf Club Exclusive Store"
is an old acquaintance - Ms. Osprey who was almost killed by Russell's fireball.
You White Wolf Club students still engage in this side job?
Russell browsed the store and found that he could not find the extraordinary items he wanted, and the prices were as expensive as other stores.
He opened the customer service Osprey's chat interface anonymously, intending to ask her what happened recently.
"Are you there?" Russell asked.
Osprey immediately replied:
"Madam, you said you wanted to divine your relationship situation before. I will help you figure it out using the astrolabe and plum blossom number. You are a Virgo, born in the year of Tiger, and he is an ENTJ personality, born at midnight. Do you dream The half-golden dragon and rabbit seen in the dream, according to dream interpretation, symbolizes prosperity that cannot last long. Taking into account the tarot divination results of the tower's upright position, and your face with a full forehead. We have done a regression analysis on the above data here, and we get The final suggestion is that you two should break up."
"Customer service, did you reply to the wrong person? And your divination method is complicated enough." Russell replied.
"Sorry, sorry, I got confused and replied to the wrong person. Just now I was replying to a customer who was experiencing fortune-telling services." Osprey quickly apologized, "This customer, do you have any questions?" "Excuse me, what does your store sell
? Why are extraordinary items so expensive?" Russell asked.
"Everyone has the same price, dear."
"But when I looked at it a few months ago, the prices of extraordinary items and materials in the trading area of the academy's official website were not that high. What happened recently? Everyone has gone up. The price is so great?" Russell asked.
On the other end of the computer, Osprey was silent for a while before replying:
"Anyway, the price is like this. The specific reasons for the price adjustment are very complicated and it's not convenient for me to say. Which product you like, you can negotiate a little price, but It’s impossible to say too much. If you really can’t accept the price, forget it.”
From Osprey’s point of view, there is indeed an ulterior reason! Russell thought.
