Abnormal paradise

The former hilly water tower has been transformed into a tall white tower, with the eldest daughter of the sun and the queen of shadows living at the top and bottom of the tower. Under the leadership of the Dark Knight, Ember went to the seventh underground floor of the white tower and saw the Shadow Queen in black robes, playing the piano clumsily.

The intermittent sporadic notes do not form a melody, but every time they are played, they can cause the dark curtain to surge and stir up a soul-stirring scream. With Ember's perception level, he can only see the endless dark curtain spinning crazily around the Shadow Queen, which is very promising. The momentum of a dark curtain storm formed, and he could only barely avoid the dark curtain by staying close to the door.

clang! ! !

A deafening trembling accent shattered the dark curtain, and Ember waved away the black smoke that came towards his face. He did not dare to speak out, because the Shadow Queen's mood had been extremely corrupted, otherwise she would not have smashed the keys for no reason.

"You came."

The lackluster opening remarks made Ember a little unsure of the Shadow Queen's true thoughts. His current identity was a spy placed by the foundation under the other party's command, with the purpose of breaking into the Mapleblood family and stealing secrets. Although Ember didn't care how he looked at it. They all felt a little unreliable, but he took it as he came, and he got into the role very quickly.

"Meet the Queen... Your Majesty."

Ember really couldn't think of what to call her, so she simply chose something that sounded nice. If the Queen of Shadows and the eldest daughter of the Sun were actually at odds, then "Her Majesty the Queen" would definitely be one level higher than "Her Royal Highness".

However, the sullen Shadow Queen had no strange reaction to this. Her eyes were indifferent, she responded softly, and said to Ember: "I am very happy that you can choose to become the Dark Veil Messenger, because I vaguely remember that you saved me, so I choose Summon you alone, and the other three people will be taken care of by Grandma Fengqin. Grandma Fengqin has warned you not to confide in you easily, because your reputation makes her feel uneasy, saying that the foundation may send you a secret mission, which will affect me and the sun. The eldest daughter will be unfavorable to the Mapleblood family."

"..."

Yu Yan has truly realized what it means to be afraid of being famous while pigs are afraid of being strong!

Not only did "continuous apostasy" not allow him to enjoy the slightest benefit, but he was often used as a scapegoat by game characters, which made him have no idea how to deal with several questions that the Queen of Shadows might raise.

Are you really a spy?

Can I trust you?

Can I delegate important tasks to you?

For a moment, Yan Yan was a bit confused. The way the game characters think is no different from ordinary people. The label of a character who is a serial apostate can easily arouse the suspicion of others. They don't understand why the old tailor wants to be an undercover agent even though he knows there is a risk of exposure.

However, the Shadow Queen's next reaction was surprisingly calm. She looked at the embers with her eyes as black as night, and her pure sight seemed to be able to project into the soul.

"If my life had not been suddenly changed, then I would still be the junior high school girl named Anna. I would not have to worry about my personal destiny or shoulder the family mission. Unfortunately, without what if... a whole year of sinking made me lose my past. According to The family plans to become the shadow of the eldest daughter of the sun. Perhaps before long, my reason will become extreme and stubborn due to the influence of the dark curtain. This is the result they want to see, because what they need is Her Majesty the Queen who controls the shadow, and Not an indecisive junior high school girl.”

Having said this, the Shadow Queen paused, adjusted her mood and continued: "So, whether you harbor evil intentions or not, it has nothing to do with who I am now. I prefer the original name to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Anna?"

"No, that's just a code name imposed on me by others. As for the real name, you can't know it yet, because I can't completely trust you, and it's precisely because they know that I won't trust you that I can only and must ask you to do it. I have something to do."

"???"

Ember was stunned for a moment, and said to himself that if he heard correctly, the Queen of Shadows seemed to be preparing to issue a special mission to him because of the character tag?

"Before the Chaos Apostle left, he left many singular points on the periphery of the island. The purpose was to absorb too much of the dark curtain origin of the island, form a special space, disrupt the flow of the dark curtain, and slow down the growth of the island. Regarding the special skills of the Chaos Beacon, the three major The organization has no way to deal with it. It can only focus on control to prevent the singularity from consuming too much of the dark curtain source when generating a special space. The special space located at the original site of the school condenses exactly what I need. I hope you can help me. Find it!"

…

Hey!

Unexpectedly, this mission was actually triggered by continuous apostasy!

If not, the other three players who have become Dark Veil Messengers will only receive other missions, because his situation is actually somewhat similar to that of the Queen of Shadows. One is forced to lurk, and the other is determined to resist. There is a sense that they hit it off. …

Yu Yan suddenly realized that he might actually be able to create Infernal Affairs with this character tag!

"I'll do it as soon as possible!"

"Well! I'm looking forward to your good news. If you can get me a snow umbrella in the difficult difficulty, that would be the best thing! In addition, I have some information about the snow school space here, which is the three major organizations I hope this summary of the exploration by the investigators can be of some help to you.”

…

"Is the main part of the dungeon an exploration type? Then you don't have to rush to learn the skills." Yu Yan thought, "But if the number of people is limited to single players, I'm afraid the team's plan to complete the dungeon will be slightly delayed."

"Every Dark Veil Messenger can get the initial reward for following me. If you want to get better rewards, you must complete the mission and further gain my trust!"

As she spoke, the Shadow Queen grabbed a dark curtain from the air and waved it before Ember's eyes, allowing him to immediately receive the game prompt.

[Tip: You have obtained the passive skill "Dark Screen Affinity (Elementary)", which has the effect of increasing the dark screen vision by 20%. 】

nice one!

Ember couldn't help but feel happy. The impact of vision on combat was so important. Becoming a Dark Veil Messenger would provide such excellent initial benefits, and he couldn't help but look forward to subsequent rewards.

"You can leave now. Staying too long will arouse the suspicion of Grandma Fengqin. Of course, if you choose to betray, I don't care too much. Anyway, I am already a grounded person, and the situation cannot be worse than it is now."

The Shadow Queen's tone seemed nonchalant, but Ember could still see the melancholy in her eyes. After all, the Shadow Queen's real age is still underage, and she may still have various dreams in her heart, and it is true that she can have the idea and courage to rebel against her family. It's not easy, and it's even rarer to choose to believe in him who has such a bad reputation.

Yi Yan didn't say anything, but before leaving, he saw the Queen of Shadows sitting back at the piano, using an unskilled technique to hit out scattered notes that didn't make a tune. But this time, Yi Yan could feel that the shadows The queen's mood was complicated, and there was expectation hidden in her worry, which made him speed up his departure involuntarily.

…

After being led out of the white tower by the Dark Knight, Yi Yan was thinking about how to explain to his friends that he was going to fly solo, when he discovered that there was sudden movement in the temporarily created five-person chat group.

Baiqi: Hey! I'm really sorry. I accepted a limited-time mission and had no choice but to do it. You can leave me alone. I'm sorry.

The glass of wine is getting thicker: Gu Gu Gu Gu!

Lu Renjia: Huh? Is it such a coincidence? I also received a mission and had to challenge a single-player copy.

Not an expert: Haha, it seems that we all have a mission, and Ember should be no exception. So let’s put the nightmare copy of the Shadow-Eating Worm Head aside for now. After all, after the server is launched, some changes still need to be familiar and prepared. , is always right.

Discovering that before he took off solo, there were already flocks of pigeons flying around, so Yu Yan embarked on a solo journey with great courage.
