"So, after my speculation, these so-called 'black fogs' are not natural products of disorder. They are not only cyclical and orderly, but behind them, there seems to be a commander who can give orders."

I sat on the balcony of the mayor's mansion in Huilan Town and told Elise about everything I had done in the past few days, including Xie Lan's diary that I saw in Jianliang before."

"And." I stood up and looked at Elise with a somewhat complicated expression in front of me. "I think their center should be under the cave, which is probably why you observed before."

"Uh..." Elise thought for a while, "But that cave has collapsed by the last accident. Besides, have we already discussed these things in the Lord's Mansion before?"

"No." I waved my hand, "What I meant last time was that this plague was formed naturally, and they would have the laws of action, which was also their own natural laws."

"But." I put my hand on the railing and looked in the direction of Jianliang.

"The black fog activity is irregular at this time. They are more like targeted continuous attacks." I recalled the scene when the black fog hit, "and, their next target is probably here.

"So." Elise glanced at me, "What the hell do you want to say?"

"This plague, I suspect, was artificially created. "I looked back at Elise," and all the actions of the black fog before today were dominated by their own consciousness, but today was a feeling of being imposed commands."

"I'll give an example. "I walked to Elise," before the rotten corpses wouldn't attack towns in groups during the day because they were afraid of light during the day."

"But they are both phototaxis, which is incredible, so when hunting, the first thing that attracts them is light." I said, "And, they have no brains and can only keep scratching the city gates, so they can't break through Jianliang before."

"But this time." I looked serious, "they will lock in their targets and take human ladders. It would be too far-fetched to say evolution.

"Okay." Elise nodded, "I admit that what you said makes sense, but there are some things you probably only know here. Of course, I'm not saying that I understand these things."

"What does it mean?" I was a little confused when I saw Elise who suddenly showed his opinion.

Elise shook her head, "No, it's nothing, you can stay here and help me well. I have some things to go back to Gear City to deal with."

"So suddenly?" I said in surprise, "Didn't you come from Gear City? It's only been less than a day."

"Just just now, my father gave me an emergency message from Gear City. Maybe something happened in the city. It was suddenly so I had to go back first." Elise changed a pistol and loaded it.

"The way I went back was a bit special, Huilan Town asked you to stay in touch." She smiled at me and then pushed the pistol on her temple.

Bang.

Gunshots rang out.

Elise turned into a white light before my eyes, returning to her soul matrix in Gear City.

Wait a minute... what Elise said?

Some things I can only understand here?

Yes, why haven't I doubted her?

The black tweezers for plague are skillfully controlled by black fog habits, and the continuous research on plague.

But she just said that she didn't understand what I guessed.

But she must have known a little, after all, no matter how she looked at her actions just now, she was a bit suspicious of escaping.

It seems that the things behind this are not as simple as I imagined. Maybe I should find some time to find Xie Lan.

Well, but I'm just talking, after all, I don't know where he is.

Thinking about these things now may be a bit redundant, after all, Huilan Town is not close to Gear City.

What's more, the dark tide is coming soon.

By the way... Black Tide!

Why haven't I seen the biggest problem?

Since black fog can erode humans in an all-encompassing way and transform humans into rotten corpses, why do you still drive the rotten corpses to attack the city instead of directly breaking into the city and infecting it?

This is too strange.

I raised my hand and turned down the balcony and ran towards the city tower.

...

"So, there are 4 cameras near the corner of Laurel Street." Yan Shu moved the mouse and typing the keyboard from time to time.

"Then check it out." He took a sip of coffee, "first one."

...

"Did you see superstition this morning?" Qiu Frost Moon jumped down from his horse and asked to the metaphysical seal.

"Hmm? I thought he was with you." Xuan Yin showed a puzzled expression.

"It's strange." Qiu Frost Moon patted the white horse, and the horse ran to the stable by itself." Logically speaking, superstition is not like this. Is something wrong in reality?

Xuan Yin closed the forum, "Probably, but I think he will definitely come up in the afternoon, so let's wait for him."

"Ah, right." As if I suddenly remembered something, Xuan Yin suddenly said, "Isn't Wanye Kingdom destroyed by our Star Weaving Kingdom before? Their territory is now owned by our country."

"So what?" Qiu Frostmoon didn't understand what Xuan Yin wanted to express.

"We should go out and find the next guardian. Didn't the NPC who gave you professional tasks before? There is a guardian in every country and region. Defeating them is the key to revealing the secrets of this world. Before, Wanye Kingdom was a belliger country, and we couldn't get over it easily, but now it's OK." Metaphysics engraving said a lot in one breath.

Qiu Shuangyue thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, it's time to prepare, so wait for superstition to come back."

...

The black fog never came again.

I sat on the city tower in Huilan Town for a day and a night, and I didn't get off the line halfway.

My eyes kept staring at the distance on the horizon, occasionally looking at the forum.

To be honest, it's really boring.

But he had to do so.

Sometimes I ask myself, what did I get like this?

Experience? Gold coins? Equipment?

None seems to be there.

But those things belong to people from outside this world, and they came to this world for these things.

And I came from this world, and these things are not that important to me.

What I want is this world.

Well? It seemed like a very dangerous statement flashed through my mind in an instant.

Alas, no matter what, in short, the behavior of Black Fog seems to have returned to nature.

And I was already very doubtful whether my half-baked mechanic level could stop the aggressive army of death.

It seems that there is no need to stop me now, so I have to take a good rest.

I opened the menu and clicked to exit the game.

A void space that has not been seen for a long time.

I floated quietly in this world, feeling the quiet environment.

Suddenly, a vibration came from the heart.

It is a feeling that is not pain, but is more awake than pain.

"What happened." This was my first reaction.

I entered the game in one second.

After regaining consciousness in the game, I immediately stood up and glanced around.

At this time, it was late at night in the game, everything was silent and peaceful.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, the ground is windless and cannot rise.

strangeness.

I thought it was a dark tide that came, but nothing happened.

‘Buzz~~Buzz~~~’ The vibration suddenly rang out.

It's a liaison.

There is only one contact person in my contactor, and I answered quickly.

The picture is flashing, and the signal is not very good.

But I can still tell the light of Elise's little face and the fire behind her.

She saw that it was me, and she left only one sentence and hurriedly hung up.

"Now, come to Gear City right now!"

Oops.

I suddenly realized.

Why is Huilan Town OK?

Because the target of the black fog is Gear City!
