Chapter 189 Zhou Chu's Faith

Li Qing's expression was gloomy. "I give up."

Feng Ling's eyes widened immediately, "Why did you give up?"

"The mythology system of that place is too complicated..." Li Qing was hit hard, "If we want to study it thoroughly, three days is far from enough."

"We don't need to study it too thoroughly, right? Just roughly enough," Feng Ling said as he ate. "The maze designed by your game system is nothing more than selecting some special elements and manipulating the direction of genetic mutation. It is impossible to design it according to myths and legends. So we only need to know the general idea, that's enough."

"Okay, I understand..." Li Qing was still a little depressed.

He himself was extremely interested in human civilization, and he enjoyed studying the folk cultures of various places. However, the place he was going to this time was really giving him a headache, as there were too many gods and ghosts involved, and it was difficult to judge their strengths.

In this way, he couldn't guess the characteristics of the Lord of the Maze, let alone make corresponding preparations in advance.

He had clearly boasted in front of Feng Ling that he would do his best to help her, but now he can't help her, which really frustrates him.

"Oh right..." Li Qing pulled himself together and looked at Feng Ling, "The administrator I contacted before sent me a message last night, agreeing to cooperate with us. He is in a dangerous situation now, and I hope we can get there as soon as possible."

After Feng Ling finished her rice noodles, she casually opened another bag of takeout. This time it contained shrimp wontons, which were still steaming.

"How exactly is the situation dangerous?" she asked, opening the lid of the wonton box.

"The player is coming," Li Qing said solemnly, "According to system requirements, the maze administrator's range of activities is limited and he cannot leave the maze area, so he can only hide now. However, the player has been wandering around nearby, so I'm afraid he can't hold on for too long."

Feng Ling thought for a moment and asked Huangfu Miaomiao beside him: "Players are looking for mazes by collecting riddles, right?"

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Li Qing immediately said: "The maze is a hidden copy. Apart from the riddles randomly dropped as quest rewards, players cannot find the location of the maze by other means."

Huangfu Miaomiao: “…………”

——Will you kill me if I say a few more words?
"That is to say, these aliens have riddles in their hands, and they find the entrance to the maze through riddles. The maze administrator has to move around near the maze entrance due to system rules, so it is easy for the two sides to run into each other. Hmm... I almost understand." Feng Ling took a bite of wonton and chewed it. "Then, did the administrator you contacted tell him what the aliens he met looked like."

"He didn't dare to get too close, fearing that he would be discovered by the players. He only said that there were three people in total, and one of them was a woman who was particularly tall." Li Qing replied.

"Among the aliens Ye Zheng met, there was also a very tall woman. Maybe they were from the same group of aliens." Feng Ling smiled, "That's good. It would be even better if the one wearing a straw hat was also among them."

Huangfu Miaomiao frowned, "I wonder what cards these three players hold."

This is indeed a problem.

Feng Ling felt that these alien species could not be more powerful than herself and Ye Zheng. What she cared more about was whether they had squirrel cards.

Li Qing was silent for a while, then said, "Although the other party didn't mention it, from the information he provided me, at least one of the three players has the ability to partially change the shape of his limbs, because in the process of looking for the maze manager, they searched door to door and successfully opened all the door locks."

"Master key, right? Really convenient~" Feng Ling simply commented and continued eating wontons. Ding Ding——

ding ding-

The doorbell rang in the house.

This sound confused Feng Ling for a few seconds, until he heard the sound of the iron door being knocked outside, then he realized that Su Yuqing had actually installed a doorbell on the temporary construction fence.

"Go open the door." She said to Huangfu Miaomiao.

Huangfu Miaomiao's mouth immediately shrank, and her face was full of emotions: Why me? Why not the Taoist priest to open the door?
"Hurry up and go, it must be Su Yuqing," Feng Ling said teasingly while eating wontons, "He is Captain Su of the Qingjiang City Supervision Branch. You should show up in front of him more often to make your presence felt. If I die in the future, you will not die in Qingjiang."

Huangfu Miaomiao felt that Feng Ling was thinking about her, so she jumped off the bar chair and ran to open the door.

The person who came was indeed Su Yuqing.

This time, Su Yuqing came here to install several rows of spotlights under the building, and the lights would illuminate the walls.

He believes that moths are phototactic, and glowing buildings are more likely to attract pollutants to live there. At the same time, it can also prevent the lights of residential buildings at night from attracting the attention of pollutants.

Feng Ling was really impressed.

She wanted to praise Su Yuqing for being thoughtful and considerate, but she couldn't say it out loud.

She wanted to ask Su Yuqing more: You really treat your lover as a big moth, right?

Feng Ling hesitated to speak, and finally changed the subject: "Zhou Chu came last night."

Su Yuqing's face darkened slightly, "Yes, I know."

Feng Ling asked: "He won't tell anyone about Ye Zheng's situation with me, right?"

"No, Zhou Chu won't." Su Yuqing took a slow breath. "I may not have told you that Zhou Chu has deep feelings for Ye Zheng. After Ye Zheng's accident, he was hit no less than I was, so he will definitely not reveal this secret."

Probably to increase his persuasiveness, Su Yuqing turned to Feng Ling and said seriously:
"Both Zhou Chu's parents died at the hands of aliens. During that period, aliens in Qingjiang City were very active, with murders occurring almost every day. Zhou Chu was able to survive the attack because Ye Zheng acted in time. Ye Zheng killed one of the aliens, and the extracted card happened to be absorbed by Zhou Chu. You should have guessed that the card was the hellhound he holds now. Later... Ye Zheng brought Zhou Chu back to the Supervisory Bureau. At that time, the supervisory system was not as complete as it is now. There were no coaches or courses, and the selection criteria for new supervisors were also blank. So Ye Zheng personally took him with him and taught him anytime and anywhere, from the most basic fighting techniques to marksmanship and combat skills. It can be said that he taught him everything he knew."

Su Yuqing sighed slightly, "Later, Ye Zheng was transferred to Yunhai City for work, and Zhou Chu successfully became the deputy captain of the supervision team of Qingjiang City because of his excellent performance in the assessment. Before Ye Zheng left, he half-jokingly told Zhou Chu that it would be his turn to be the guardian of Qingjiang in the future, and he must protect this place. Zhou Chu...he always regarded this sentence as his own belief."

"So that's how it is..." Feng Ling looked towards the building, "No wonder he broke in in the middle of the night."

Su Yuqing smiled bitterly, "He should be in more pain than me right now."

The god who once guided them to light has fallen into a polluted body that is the embodiment of evil.

This chapter fills in the gaps in the previous one. I’ll start fighting tomorrow~ Roar!
