Chapter 3788 New Rumors
After clicking on the entry "ritual", new text information appeared.
The ritual consists of three steps.
"The first step is to find the place closest to the lightless space (which can be obtained through 'location rumors')"
"The second step is to prepare the sacrifices required for the ceremony (which can be obtained through 'Sacrificial Rumors')"
"The third step is to recite the correct prayer at the right time to complete the ceremony. (You can obtain it through the 'Prayer Rumor')"
Then, after clicking on the entry for "prayer", I also received the corresponding information.
"Prayer: Every morning at 2:20 a.m., recite the Maladaku Hymn and end at 2:22 a.m."
"The full text of the Hymn of Praise to Maladaku: ..."
Through the information of these two entries, it can be inferred that, if nothing unexpected happens, as long as they complete the three rumors rewarded by the first round of main tasks, they will be able to obtain three different rumor fragments, corresponding to: location rumors, sacrifice rumors, and prayer rumors.
Now, after completing the second rumor, Starworm has obtained the prayer rumor.
In other words, as long as they continue to get rumors about the location and the sacrifices, they can start the ceremony and find the Carnival Night Clown who is sealed in the dark.
There is no doubt that this is the correct way to open the second round of the main mission!
……
Gleipnir: "In order to complete the second round of main missions, I discussed with Starworm. Now there are two rumors left. We will split up and take one each."
"I will complete the rumor about the lake corridor in Sona Street, and Starworm will stay in Prada Media Company to complete the rumor about Kaushik..."
This is also the reason why Gleipnir stayed here.
Just waiting for midnight to come.
Gleipnir glanced at the dark lake, then at the empty corridor. "By the way, what about you? Why did you suddenly enter the dungeon again? Is it to test your viral ability?"
Angel: "I am planning to test it... But before the test, I am also going to complete the second round of the main mission first."
Speaking of this, Ingres' expression was a little subtle.
He originally thought that he was the only one who cared about the second round of the main quest, but now he found that Gleipnir and Starworm were also trying their best to complete the main quest.
In fact, their progress is even deeper than mine.
"You want to complete the main quest, too? Oh, that's right. If you don't complete the main quest, you won't be able to stay here any longer..." Gleipnir suddenly realized, "But, we came in at the same time, and the main quests are the same. If we complete the main quest, it should be the same as if you have completed it..."
In other words, Ingres can actually sit back and reap the benefits.
However, it is certainly impossible for Ingres to do nothing.
Moreover, it might take Gleipnir a long time to complete the rumored mission... Once the time limit is exceeded, the main mission of all of them will fail.
So, if we prosper together, we prosper together, and if we suffer together, we suffer together. Angel will definitely help.
Angel originally wanted to earn Modern Coins, but now that Gleipnir already has the correct way to complete the main quest, Angel naturally would not choose to take a side path.
Because even if you can get Yusup to talk with money, you can't make the beauty show return to its former glory. Only with the Carnival Night Clown can the Prada beauty show regain its throne among the top three competitions.
"The ceremony will be held at 2:20 in the morning, which is about five hours away." Angel: "That means we need to complete Rumor and Rumor within five hours, find the ceremony location, and prepare the props for the ceremony."
These things are completely adjacent to each other, very compact.
It can even be said that if there is a problem in any link, everything will be lost.
Of course, this is also their own fault... If they followed the process of the main task, two days would be enough to prepare for the ceremony.
But it was because they didn't take the main quest seriously at the beginning. It was not until the last moment that they realized how good the Modern City dungeon was. Then, when the main quest was about to end, they set out again on the journey to chase their wives to the crematorium.
Gleipnir nodded as well. "Time is tight, and I'm worried right now..."
Gleipnir raised his head, his eyes flickering slightly.
"When Starworm completed the mission in rumor 2, he stayed in the challenge space of the Graffiti Imp for a full eleven hours..." Gleipnir: "If it took me more than ten hours to complete the mission in rumor 1, then the main mission would be basically finished."
Even Gleipnir is not too confident when facing the challenges of various fashion monsters in the Modern City.
The challenge here is not like the dungeon like "Glutton's Feast" where you can rely on various external forces to push forward. You can only complete the task honestly.
Even if Ingres came to challenge with a "bug" like him, he could only follow the routine. Even some challenges involving art might not be completed by Ingres.
So, Gleipnir looked very calm as he silently waited for midnight to fall in the Sona district, but he was actually full of worry and lack of confidence in his heart.
Angel: "How about this, I'll come find you. When you enter the challenge space, if the mission is too difficult, then I'll take your random mission outside. Maybe the mission I take outside will be easier."
Once Angel completes the task outside, Gleipnir's challenge will be terminated and the puzzle will be obtained by Angel.
But now it doesn't matter who gets the puzzle. What matters is to complete the remaining two rumored challenges as soon as possible. As for who gets the puzzle, it doesn't matter anymore.
Gleipnir thought about it and thought this method might be better. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you don't have to come so early."
Angel: “?”
Gleipnir: "You said before that you were going to spend money to pass the second round of the main quest?"
Angel: “Yes.”
Ingres briefly described his idea of disassembling the pages of books and selling them.
Gleipnir said, "Why don't we both place bets? You continue to prepare the Modern Coins. I'll try the challenge first."
"If I don't come out within an hour, then you will come and take over the task."
Gleipnir was thinking that even if the main quest couldn't be completed immediately using conventional methods, he could take a side path and use money to push the main quest forward.
As long as the main mission can enter the third round, they can also try to capture the "Carnival Night Clown" in the subsequent time.
If the "Carnival Night Clown" is the ticket to advance to the top three of the beauty pageant, then the normal route is to buy the ticket first and then enter.
What they do is: pay to enter first, and then buy the ticket.
As long as you have the ticket in your hand, the order doesn’t matter.
Angel thought for a moment and agreed: "Then do as you say."
Angel had originally planned to take the ring train to the North District 10, but now he decided to continue taking the Silver Wing Express to the central district.
On the way, Angel chatted with Gleipnir as he moved forward.
The topics of discussion were not only about Modern City, but also about the situations in the multi-ethnic meetings.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Gleipnir suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, can you see the situation over at Starworm? How is the progress of his mission?"
Following Gleipnir's question, Angel took a look at the situation on the starworm side.
Angel: "I can't tell the progress of his mission..."
Because the rumored mission on the Starworm side is somewhat different from that on Gleipnir's side.
The rumors about Gleipnir have been basically confirmed. They are definitely related to the fashion monster. All we have to do is wait for the fashion monster to appear and complete the corresponding challenge.
But it was not so direct on the Starworm side. What he completed was not a "random task" but a "side task".
"Rumor 3: There is an old man who always dozes off at the security office on the first floor of Prada Media. Maybe he is hiding some secret?"
This sleepy old man was a security guard at Prada Media named Kaushik.
Kaushik is an NPC with a personal profile.
According to NPC information, Kaushik has a side quest: "Time is a circle."
All Starworms have to do is accept missions and complete them.
Compared to Gleipnir's "random challenges", Kaushik's side quests may be more troublesome.
"Starworm is still at the security office of Prada Media Company. He seems to be talking to Kaushik, but I'm not sure how far the side quest has progressed."
"It's even possible..."
Angel paused here, and Gleipnir immediately realized: It is possible that the Starworm has not even received the side quest.
Because side quests are different from random quests, in order to receive a side quest, the NPC needs to think that you are "qualified" to receive the quest.
To put it in more common terms, you need to improve the NPC's favorability.
Only when the favorability reaches a certain level will the NPC assign the task to you.
Gleipnir: "According to Starworm, he has been in contact with Kaushik since yesterday, but it seems that the other party has ignored him. Anyway, Starworm has not received any side quests until I came to Sona District to do the quest."
Angel: "If Kaushik ignored him before, then Starworm should have made some progress. At least, he can talk to Kaushik now."
Gleipnir: "That's also..."
Gleipnir fell silent in the middle of his words.
Angel stopped immediately and looked towards the Sona district, where he found that Gleipnir was staring at the direction of the lake.
"what happened?"
Gleipnir: "Did you hear any sound?"
"I didn't hear it. What was that sound?" Angel increased his perception, but apart from Gleipnir's voice, he didn't hear any other noise.
"It sounds like mumbling, like whispering, or like cursing. The sound is coming from the direction of the lake..." Gleipnir lowered his voice and kept tilting his ear, as if he was listening to the specific content.
But Angel couldn't hear anything. He even looked down into the lake, but couldn't see anything. He could only hear the sound of the water flowing.
Gleipnir glanced at the clock projection on the outer shell of the building in the distance, which showed exactly 9 o'clock in the evening.
According to Modern City's algorithm, the opening time at night is 9 o'clock.
So, this is where the rumors started?!
Gleipnir: "That sound was very dense. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, it did sound like a curse. Just like what was recorded in the first rumor."
"If you can't hear it, maybe the sound went directly into my ears..."
"I'll go over and take a look."
Gleipnir stood up from the chair in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and walked towards the lake shore. When she reached the lake shore, she vaguely saw a woman in a white dress floating out of the dark lake.
The woman in the white dress covered her face with her hands, her whole body trembling, and her outline faintly glowing with a cold white light. She looked like a female ghost in the lake.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing this scene might have already caused fear.
But Gleipnir showed no expression at all, and was even talking to Angel:
"Did you see it?"
Angel: "I saw her this time... But she appeared very suddenly, as if there was an alien space under the lake and she came out directly from it."
Then, there was no different space under the lake.
As for the nature of this female "ghost" in a white dress, Ingres couldn't see it either, because from his perspective, this so-called female ghost in a white dress looked more like a light and shadow.
Because it can only be captured with the naked eye from a slightly distant distance, but once the perspective is zoomed in, for example, Ingres pulls the God's perspective into the body of this female ghost.
You will find that there is only white light inside and nothing else.
Gleipnir: "She seemed to notice me, and she moved her hand away... so ugly."
Angel: "..."
Although Angel thought Gleipnir's focus was a little strange, he still looked in the direction she was looking. It wasn't really that ugly.
The eyes of the female ghost in white were dark and she was shedding black tears.
According to Ingres, this is probably... a very typical scene of a female ghost appearing.
As for the question of beauty or ugliness? Black tears covered most of her face, so Ingres could not judge.
Gleipnir continued, "The black tears seemed to be increasing, and they dripped into the lake. The lake water was also pitch black at night. It looked as if the entire lake was made of her tears..."
"Hey, the cursing seems to be getting clearer and clearer, as if it is right next to my ears."
"No, not like, but literally in my ear, like someone is talking to me from behind?"
Gleipnir raised his head and looked towards the lake, and suddenly found that the female ghost in white had disappeared.
Combining the whispers that came into his ears.
She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Could she be behind me, trying to scare me when I turn my head?"
"That's very... cheesy."
Facing Gleipnir's frequent complaints, Angel did not interrupt, but just said at the last moment: "You guessed right, she is behind you now. But having said that, I think you are quite suitable to be a commentator for live broadcasts."
Gleipnir: “???”
Gleipnir ignored Angel's teasing and turned around to face the female ghost in white dress who suddenly came around.
However, the moment she turned back.
Her eyes met the black pupils of the female ghost in the white dress.
The next second, all that was left in Gleipnir's vision was a dark vortex...
By the time the vortex disappeared, Gleipnir had arrived at a narrow room with piles of papers on the floor and blueprints all around.
At the same time, a row of mission information popped up in front of her...
Obviously, she has entered the challenge space.
In reality, from Angel's perspective, Gleipnir fainted the moment he and the ghost in white met eyes. Fortunately, although she was by the lake, she did not faint in the water and was still on the shore, so there was no need to worry about drowning.
After Gleipnir fainted, the female ghost in the white dress disappeared without a trace.
Even though Angel had been staring at her, he couldn't figure out where she went. He could only vaguely see the halo scattered...
