Chapter 3700 Zuniga's Quest
Just when everyone was attracted by the fashionable magician on the stage of Fantasy Light and Sound, on the other side, near the inflatable stage of Dream Park, an old beggar who looked like a homeless person slowly woke up.
Zuniga still remembered that he was dozing with his eyes closed in the challenge mission space just a second ago.
Waiting for the countdown of the "philatelic event" to end.
But he didn't know what happened, the mission was over suddenly, he didn't even fall asleep yet, just pretending to sleep. As a result, a voice from the unknown reminded him that the mission failed.
What happened? Why did it fail so suddenly?
His mission challenge this time is "Stamp Collecting": Plan a variety show and attract any two of the six designated fashion monsters to complete the mission.
From the task description, we can know that even if we fail, we will definitely fail after the countdown ends. There is no point of failure in the middle.
and so……
Did something unusual happen that caused his mission to fail?
Zuniga opened his eyes, looked around, and found that there were almost no people around Dreamland... Nearby, there were only two children whispering.
Zuniga had some impression of these two kids. They seemed to be from the neighborhood. They had played hide-and-seek with him before.
Zuniga pondered for a moment, then walked over with a limp and asked, "Have you two been here all the time?"
The two children blinked and nodded.
"Did anyone come near me just now?"
In response to Zuniga's question, they shook their heads and said, "No, Uncle Zuniga chose such a remote place on purpose. He must be trying to avoid the foreman, right?"
"Don't worry, we were just playing nearby, we're pretty sure no one is coming."
Zuniga: "No one approached me?"
"No."
Zuniga looked at the two children's righteous expressions and determined eyes...he believed it.
Since no one had touched him, why did his mission suddenly fail?
Although Zuniga had no intention of completing the mission challenge, he was still very curious about the reason for the failure of this mission. If he could find the reason, maybe when he was possessed by the fashion monster, he could quickly make the mission fail and not always be in a coma.
Yes, Zuniga often encounters fashion monsters, and he encounters them whether there are stage events or not.
This also caused him to fall asleep from time to time.
He was actually very troubled by this... He didn't want any fragments of the fashion monster, he hated fashion magic, but the fashion monster favored him the most.
It would definitely be a good thing for him if he could get a way to "fail the challenge in advance".
Thinking of this, Zuniga asked again: "Then...did anything big happen during my coma?"
Zuniga was worried that the two children didn't know the definition of "big things", so he wanted to explain. But before he started to explain, the two children started to rush to say:
"Of course it's a big deal. Just now, a figure appeared in the sky!"
"How did Uncle Zuniga know something big was going on?"
"Didn't Uncle Zuniga fall asleep just now?"
It took Zuniga several minutes to roughly understand what happened after he fell asleep... A figure appeared in the sky, and everyone in the modern city could see it if they looked up.
This was undoubtedly a "big deal", but when Zuniga first heard it, he immediately judged that it had nothing to do with him. Until the two children said that the person projected into the sky was at the carnival, and was on the nearby "Fantasy Light and Sound Domain" stage, he felt something was wrong.
"Oh, yes. I heard that the man has woken up. He woke up right after the illusion in the sky disappeared."
"Yes, the stage of the Fantasy Light Sound Domain was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun. We wanted to go, but we were too short and were afraid that we would be used as a cushion to be stepped on."
The two kids revealed another big piece of news.
Zuniga seemed to have thought of something: "He was sleeping before, and then he suddenly woke up just now?"
"Yes."
Zuniga narrowed his cloudy eyes, as if he had thought of something.
The person who fell asleep on the stage is most likely a fashion magician. His sudden fall asleep means that he has been possessed by a fashion monster and entered the mission challenge space.
Then, he was sleeping too, and suddenly woke up too.
The person at that time is just like this person at this time.
Perhaps, his mission had failed as well… just like mine had.
Thinking of this, Zuniga decided to go there in person to verify it.
A few minutes later, Zuniga was near the Magic Light Sound Field, but the fashion magician was no longer on the stage. But through the whispers of people around him, Zuniga knew that the man had gone backstage.
Moreover, he was followed by several people wearing Sweetheart Studio uniforms.
Zuniga guessed that it was the senior management of Sweetheart Studio who came to inquire about the situation.
Zuniga hesitated for a few seconds, walked outside the crowd, and quietly took out the "Fashion Magic Book" that he hadn't seen for a long time.
I quickly flipped through a dozen pages, finally stopping on an illustration of a monster with giant ears.
"Gossip Monster: One of the most common fashion monsters, extremely sensitive to all kinds of news and always spreads it first."
「Current puzzle: 4/4」
"This gossip spirit's abilities: gossip (regular), daily news (special), fixed-point news (hidden)."
Zuniga was silent for a moment, but decided to touch the illustration, activating the gossip spirit that had been absent for a long time.
As the Bagua spirit's abilities are reloaded upon his body.
Zuniga was kind of cordial, but also kind of...disgusted.
Shaking his head, he bid farewell to his random thoughts. He used the Gossip Spirit's "Gossip Wind" ability, and as the power of wind entered his ears, the range of sounds he could hear expanded rapidly.
Blocking out the content he didn't want to hear, Zuniga soon locked onto the whispers behind the stage.
Sure enough, his guess was correct. The top management of Sweetheart Studio was asking the fashion magician about the skylight projection.
"I don't know what happened. I didn't see the illusion on the sky. I was in the challenge space..."
"Come to think of it, I also feel something is wrong. I am clearly in the process of completing the mission challenge, and I am sure that I can complete the puzzle of the traffic bat! But!"
"Suddenly the mission space turned red, my mission failed, and I was kicked out."
"After I came out, I saw people around me staring at me. I was also confused..."
Just by hearing these words, Zuniga was certain that this person was in the same situation as him.
They would suddenly fail halfway through the mission and be kicked out of the challenge space.
However, slightly different from Zuniga, this person not only failed the challenge, but also fell into a situation of becoming an instant celebrity... or socially dead because his sleeping appearance was projected onto the sky screen and everyone in Modern City saw it.
“Although I don’t know why you were projected onto the skylight… but there must be someone behind this.” A hint of inquiry flashed in Zuniga’s eyes: Could it be that a fashion magician randomly drew a hidden ability?
And this hidden ability can make other people's mission challenges fail?
Thinking of this, Zuniga's eyes suddenly brightened.
If there really is such a fashion magic with such hidden abilities, he must find a way to obtain it! Even if he hates fashion magic, he still hopes to get such fashion magic.
Only in this way could he feel a little relief from the oppression of his "Fashion Monster Attracting Constitution".
"As long as someone takes action, there will definitely be traces left behind." Zuniga is now eager to find the person who did it. - Of course, if this person really exists.
Let’s assume for the moment that this person exists.
Since that person can cast a spell on me from a distance, it would be difficult to find him using ordinary methods.
"Then we have to use unusual methods."
Zuniga limped out of the Carnival Square and came to a three-story building in the slums near the square.
There is a shed made of wooden boards on the roof of the small building, which is where he temporarily lives.
Although it is not very luxurious, it is at least hidden.
Sitting on the straw mat in the shed, Zuniga drank a bowl of hot soup that had been warmed in the stove before he left. When the energy in his body was slightly restored, Zuniga summoned the "Fashion Magic Book" again.
I still turned to the page of "Gossip Spirit".
The three abilities of the gossip spirit: gossip, daily news, and fixed-point news.
These are three abilities that Zuniga had carefully combined after brushing the gossip spirit for several years.
Gossip is similar to whispers, and you can hear private conversations from afar.
Although this ability is a regular ability of the special form of the Bagua Spirit, "Fengwen Boy", it is actually not that outstanding overall.
The other two abilities are very useful.
Let’s talk about “Daily News” first. This is also the energy of the special form of “Rumor Boy”, but it is not a regular ability, but a special ability.
After using this ability, you can get a piece of news about the current town every day.
However, what news you get is random.
"Although the daily news is obtained randomly, the news that can become 'news' is not trivial."
Small things don't make the news.
"And the sky projection is definitely the hottest news today. Using this ability, perhaps I can get the news behind the sky projection?"
With this thought in mind, Zuniga closed his eyes and activated the ability.
In an instant, Zuniga felt like he had turned into a rumored kid, with all kinds of whispers in his ears, gossip, scolding, crying, roaring, moaning and whining...
Along with the whispers came a variety of chaotically spliced images.
This chaos lasted for more than ten seconds.
Finally, amid the chaotic colors and disordered whispers, a touch of regular color appeared.
"Daily News: The chapter of disorder has turned a page. An outsider with no identity has awakened this lonely city that has been dormant for a long time."
When Zuniga saw this news, there were only three big question marks in his mind.
what is this?
When did the Daily News start doing the Riddler thing?
Zuniga had expected to learn the story behind the sky projection from the daily news, but he got a confusing message instead...
Putting aside the unknown and difficult-to-understand nature of the Riddler, the only thing that concerned Zuniga about this news was... the person from outer space.
He seemed to have a vague impression of this name.
The world they were in was not the only one, there seemed to be other worlds out there… However, Zuniga was not quite sure what the specific situation was.
So, could it be that this alien came to Modern City from another world?
Or is it possible that the Outsider is a "code name", just like the Red King, White King, Black King, and Seven Knights?
Zuniga couldn't confirm it, and since the news had nothing to do with what he wanted to know, he simply put it aside for the time being.
His eyes turned to the last ability of the Bagua Spirit.
——Fixed-point news.
Fixed-point news is a hidden ability that allows you to know news about designated people.
This ability has three restrictions. First, the designated person must be within Zuniga's field of vision. In other words, Zuniga must have seen the designated blade before he can designate.
Second, the news information received from designated people is random.
However, although it is random, since it is "news", it is most likely a big thing happening to the other party.
Third, the same person cannot use it continuously, there must be a one-week interval between them.
All in all, although this ability has limitations, it is not too great.
If used well, this ability has more strategic value than daily news and is an excellent hidden ability.
Zuniga plans to use this ability to see if he can find any clues.
If Zuniga knew who was the culprit for the "challenge mission failure", he would definitely turn the other party into a "designated person" as soon as possible. Although he does not know the other party's identity now, he can still use this ability.
The objects used are two ready-made people.
Zuniga himself and the fashion magician who became famous because of the sky projection.
Both of them are involved in the "mastermind" and by using targeted news, there is a chance to get information about the mastermind.
However, Zuniga did not choose to pinpoint himself, as there were too many “big news” about him, and it was not necessarily possible to randomly come up with recent news.
As for the fashion magician, because he is the protagonist of the skylight projection, and "skylight projection" is undoubtedly big news, it is very likely that this news will be randomly produced using fixed-point news.
With this in mind, Zuniga pushed open the door of the shed, walked to the roof and looked in the direction of the carnival stage.
His eyes twinkled faintly.
This is the ability of the plagiarist monster called "Lock Scan", which not only increases vision and locks the target remotely, but also allows you to quickly memorize the other person's outfit.
Zuniga was not interested in the man's outfit, but with the "lock scan", he could lock the other person's position from a very long distance.
The other party is still in the backstage of the Fantasy Light Sound Domain.
Fortunately, the entire carnival was an open-air stage, and even in the backstage of the Fantasy Light Sound Domain, there was no obstruction, so Zuniga easily locked onto the opponent.
After locking on to the target, Zuniga immediately started "point-to-point news".
next second.
A message came back from the ability.
"Fixed News: Poor Falu still doesn't know that the reason why he boarded the Sky Curtain Illusion at this time was just because the outsider wanted to attract the attention of the onlookers in Tina Plaza and get close to the current chief planner of Tina Entertainment."
