Disaster Strikes

Chapter 1109 Intelligence

the next day.

Chen Mo came to a small open space near the auction house. There were many people doing odd jobs with task cards gathered here, but the prices charged were quite high.

There are many people coming and going here.

After Chen Mo walked around for a while, he came to a female natural disaster victim who mastered white magic.

Although she has many services, Chen Mo only likes one of them, which is to visualize the things in his memory on the leather paper.

"Hello, these are 100 energy stones. I want to materialize a person in my memory. How should I cooperate with you?"

The female natural disaster survivor with the energy stone took out a crystal ball with an expressionless face.

"Take it, close your eyes, and recall the image of that person."

After hearing this, Chen Mo closed his eyes according to the instructions of the female natural disaster survivor. With a "Okay", he took the piece of leather handed over by the other party. After seeing the vivid image of the scar face on it, he nodded with satisfaction. These 100 energy stones are really not in vain.

The transaction between the two parties was successful, and Chen Mo took the animal skin to the other end of the auction house.

Auctions are usually held at night, and only once a month. Normally, a large number of victims of natural disasters gather near the auction house, half of them are casual workers who provide various services, and the other half are employers who issue various temporary tasks.

Chen Mo found an open space and sat down.

He first laid out the portrait of the scar-faced natural disaster, and then with a solemn expression, he took out an oil painting covered with black cloth and slowly placed it in front of him after exiting the Qiankun Tower.

After he marked the relevant intelligence tasks on the two paintings, he waited silently.

The portrait of Scarface needs no introduction.

This is a strong man who can perform B-level tasks. Judging from the situation at the time, one of his basic attributes has probably exceeded the 500-point critical value. Coupled with his arrogant acting style, his strength must be good and worth it. Chen Mo investigated carefully, so he offered a price of 500 energy stones.

As for this weird oil painting, it is a dangerous item that Chen Mo obtained in the "Black Water World".

The Black Water World is a cursed world of black magic. There are all kinds of strange and strange black magic items in it, and most of these things have something to do with occultism. After Chen Mo successfully completed his mission in this world, he I started practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" and training to improve my basic skills. I didn't want to get into trouble.

But this time it was trouble that came to the door.

In the small town where he lived in seclusion, everyone in an old castle suddenly died mysteriously.

Their bodies seemed to be fine, but they had no pulse or breathing. Their eyes were wide open, as if they were frightened, and they wanted to say something. In the end, they all fell straight down.

At the beginning, people in the city thought it was a black magic plague, and immediately implemented full martial law.

But this did not stop the spread of the disaster. More deaths appeared in the city the next day. Everyone showed great fear and stared with a pair of big eyes. At the same time, it also aroused Chen Mo's great curiosity. He was originally Thinking that someone was secretly collecting souls, he went to the castle to conduct a secret investigation, but naturally found nothing.

But at night, he finally knew what the dead were facing.

The phantom of an oil painting appeared in front of him.

This oil painting is just one of the countless collections in the castle. It doesn’t look like anything special. There is only a self-portrait of a woman on the picture. The background is a blurred wheat field and sky. The sky shows a starry vortex. It looks like there are some signs of age erosion, that's all.

As a result, Chen Mo found that he was about to be sucked in by the phantom cast by the painting.

Chen Mo had never heard of such a strange thing.

This seemed to be a reverse summoning, summoning the souls of all those who had witnessed this painting into an unknown world. Fortunately, Chen Mo's eye of time and space had an effect, twisting and closing this strange summoning window, and then quickly He went to the castle and "sealed" this dangerous oil painting.

Chen Mo offered a high price of 3,000 energy stones and marked an unusual danger warning.

"What's going on?"

Chen Mo had just placed the canvas painting when a man in a black cloak stopped in front of him and looked at the oil painting that was marked "Exceptionally Dangerous". He seemed a little curious.

"I suspect that it is probably a phenomenal weapon, or an entrance to an unknown world. Professionals need to identify it in front of me and bear the relevant risks."

If it is an undiscovered entrance to a new world, it is naturally a valuable asset!

What Chen Mosuo needs to pay attention to is that the appraiser must not put the "Black Book" in front of him to contaminate it.

"oh?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes glowed green under the shadow of his cloak.

"I'll give it a try."

Immediately, he didn't know what skill he activated, and his cloak swelled up quickly, and his body turned into a terrifying form of countless flies, mosquitoes, ants, bugs, and centipedes entangled with each other. A disturbing aura rushed towards him, Chen Mo's His eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this person was indeed extraordinary.

Then he briefly lifted the black cloth and let out a cry of surprise. A large number of bugs quickly fell off his skin, and the black cloth was quickly covered again.

"How about it?"

Chen Mo saw that he had some tricks up his sleeve and couldn't help but be curious.

"This is a seal. It has been somewhat damaged, and the power inside is spreading out. That thing is very dangerous. It is definitely not something we are familiar with. It is probably a weird thing that came in during the old invasion."

Seeing the man's depressed state, Chen Mo was silent for a moment.

"You should know that this is not the answer I want. You must at least give me a clue to solve the problem, otherwise I will not be able to pay you the corresponding reward."

"It doesn't matter."

But the man said calmly: "You have already paid me for allowing me to see such weird things."

Then this weirdo walked away step by step under Chen Mo's gaze.

Chen Mo shook his head. This guy also made him feel very dangerous.

After a while.

Several more people came to Chen Mo and asked about the oil painting.

After Chen Mo briefly described it, most of them left with caution.

These people are obviously relevant professionals gathered here from various gathering places. They did not try it blindly and arrogantly, but they knew the dangers they faced better than others, but they did not know whether this matter was related to Word spread in the circle, and more and more people came from all over the Evil God City.

"Huh?"

An old acquaintance came, the appraiser from the auction house named "Lark".

"It's you, why are you here?"

"I heard someone say that a rather mysterious and dangerous old object appeared here, so I came over to have a look. I didn't expect it to be another thing."

As Lark spoke, she looked at the oil painting covered with black cloth with a solemn look on her face. She did not try to open it, but murmured to herself: "No wonder so many old guys have failed. , it is indeed a very terrifying and evil thing, where did you get it?”

"The World of Dark Waters."

"No wonder, that world was invaded by the Mysterious World before, leaving behind many pollution factors from the rulers, as well as strange items from the old world community. It seems that there is a high probability that this is an item from the Mysterious World. That world People will frequently throw dangerous things out of the mother world, and if outsiders want to enter this world, they must bring back an item from the mysterious world."

After Lark finished speaking, he walked around the oil painting for a while, but finally sighed and did not dare to lift the black cloth.

However, after hearing the information about the mysterious world, Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something.

"So, this thing is valuable?"

He combined his experience in the black water world with a look of surprise on his face.

Is that legend true? That city was originally a place in the Mysterious World in ancient times, but later it became part of the Blackwater World for some unknown reason. Doesn’t that mean that there are likely to be other tokens there? , no wonder there is a disaster every few years.

wrong!

Then Chen Mo thought of a horrifying fact. Since the Mystery World will constantly throw things they consider dangerous out of the mother world, doesn't it mean that in the eyes of the people in the Mystery World, the city itself is extremely dangerous?

And I have lived there for more than ten years, but I haven't noticed anything.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed many details in this city that are full of horror.

For example, the residents' calmness in the face of danger, their extremely regular schedules, and their various attitudes towards outsiders. How does it feel... so like being in another twisted town! !

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

So during the more than ten years there, I probably broke into another twisted town created by something, and spent such a long time with some 'regular creatures', without even noticing it. !

fine……

During the period when I activated my talent as a time traveler, I behaved regularly enough, put myself in their shoes, and fully integrated into the lives of the locals. Otherwise, I would have become a part of them now, and the people behind the scenes were definitely not something Chen Mo could compete with.

Chen Mo's face turned a little pale.

For more than ten years, the person behind the scenes may have been secretly observing him beside him.

"Thank you, this is your reward."

"Giggle."

Lark, who was about to leave, looked at the reward in his hand and said with a helpless smile: "I don't dare to take this kind of money. Many old guys are watching in secret. Even Master Sophie has been seriously injured by this thing like you. I don’t think anyone in Magic Eye City will open this thing easily again.”

After the laughter, the lark suddenly became serious.

"Looking at how interesting you are, let me give you a hint. The world of mystery can be regarded as one of the most dangerous worlds. According to the words of those in the technological world, it is a black hole. The time and space inside will frequently be disrupted, and the mapping will occur frequently. There are endless mirage floors of various world wonders, and various bizarre creatures will inexplicably fall into this world. In addition, there are frequent contacts between the ancient world and the old world. The sages who once pursued the sacred caused a war due to their research on unknown black magic. Catastrophe, tsk tsk..."

At the end of the sentence, she kept shaking her head.

"In short, entering this world itself is considered an A-level mission. If you enter a space-time chaos area, it will be fatal."

"Then...thank you."

After the two added each other's address book friends, Chen Mo watched each other leave.
