Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 61 Under Deep Water (3)

This building is a typical building that often appears in science fiction movies.

Its exterior material should be a silver-blue metal, with wisps of rhythmic brilliance flowing on it. The shape and appearance of the entire building feels like it is assembled from several different structures.

.

There is no disharmony at all, it looks very coordinated and comfortable. If a famous artist could paint it, I'm afraid it would really be regarded as a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

Its height is not very conspicuous. It seems to be only a dozen meters high at most, standing on the bottom of the lake. About ten meters from it as the center, the mud has disappeared, replaced by a silver-blue floor of the same style.

Moreover, there seems to be a vague outer membrane wrapping the entire building.

The light it emits is flickering and rhythmic. It's like a breathing light playing music.

"This thing looks so familiar..."

Jiang Ke frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, but he didn't know where this feeling of familiarity came from.

"Xiaofen, do you feel there is any danger here?"

She asked the little fan next to her. The latter seemed to be silent for a while, and then shook his head.

"Chirp!"

"You can't come in with me?"

Xiaofen nodded, then pushed Jiang Ke's blisters with her hand, and Jiang Ke floated over. But it watched quietly in the water.

The bubbles burst when they got close to the "floor".

Jiang Ke just landed on the ground, surrounded by a shield that blocked the flow of water. There was no sense of decay and obscure smell in the air caused by long-term lack of circulation.

She bent down and touched the floor under her feet. The silver-blue floor did not feel like the cold metal she had imagined, but had a... warm feeling that felt like some kind of animal skin.

Jiang Ke suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of horror.

She stood up in silence and looked at the building not far away. For a moment, she hesitated whether to go in or not.

Just thinking about it again and again, she felt that she had the last resort to save her life, and she could escape back to the apartment no matter what. Moreover, this feeling of familiarity could not be faked.

So she decided to go in and take a look. The worst she could do was run away when the situation turned bad.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the building, her heart full of vigilance. If there was any trouble, she would open the door and run away.

"Tap~tap~"

Under the silent water, there was only the sound of her steps. She quickly approached the building, and then tried to touch the outer wall of the building.

A female voice without any emotion, which sounded like a synthesized voice, suddenly sounded:

"Visitor detected, the highest system is offline, and the access protocol is initiated..."

"Visitor, please explain your purpose of visit!"

Following the female voice, I saw the metal changes in the edges and corners of the building, and the muzzle of the gun was actually extended, aiming at Jiang Ke.

Flashes of blue electric light gathered in the muzzle, accompanied by a "cracking" sound.

"How can anyone treat visitors like this..." Jiang Ke secretly complained in her heart. She felt that her shield would definitely not be able to withstand this terrifying-looking electromagnetic gun or something like that.

"Just open the door and run away." Just when she was about to slip away, the system's beep suddenly sounded. She triggered a task!

【Hidden Mission: For the Promised Land!】

[Task description: You discovered a hidden research institute, but were turned away. Because you didn't know that you only need to say the password "Stars turn into dust" to enter.

Please enter it, obtain the most precious treasure, and record the truth]

[Mission time limit: from entering the institute to the destruction of the institute]

[Task reward: Tree of Wisdom Miracle Replenishing Fluid X3]

“How timely!”

Jiang Ke was delighted, then he cleared his throat and said, "Stars turn into dust!"

"..."

Silence... After more than ten seconds, the muzzles suddenly retracted inside, and the female voice said:

"Welcome, researcher. Please come in."

The wall in front of Jiang Ke changed for a while, forming a portal like building blocks. In the portal was a light curtain. It was unclear what was behind it.

"Huh~"

Jiang Ke took a deep breath and walked inside, his figure swallowed up by the light curtain.

After she entered, the light curtain disappeared.

At this time, Xiao Lan in the distance looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. Pure water flowed around him, and the azure light was already shining extremely.

And in the direction where its eyes were looking, a clear starlight flickered.

A shadow so huge that it seemed to cover the sky and the sun emerged quietly.

The moment it appeared, Xiaofen launched an attack.

The blue sea water and the exploding stars light up at the same time, and then die together.

The huge explosion caused chaos in the water flow and illuminated the entire underwater area like daylight.

The two equally matched opponents began to fight.

…

At this time, Jiang Ke, who entered the research institute, naturally had no idea what was happening outside.

She thought she would see a laboratory or something.

However, what she saw was this scene——

In the distance is a steel forest composed of countless high-rise buildings, and the "forest" is connected by bridges composed of rainbow lights.

Nearby were countless cheerful people, singing and dancing. All kinds of drinks and cakes were laid out on long tables by the roadside, easily accessible. It was obviously on the road, but it was like someone was doing it.

It's like a lively gathering place.

There is a magnificent starry sky in the sky, with countless stars twinkling. They seem to be arranged in a certain order, forming a seemingly complicated but actually extremely chaotic star map.

But it was such a clear night sky, but there was no moon.

Jiang Ke just stood in the middle of the crowd, feeling as if he was in a dream.

It's obviously the real world - whether it's the noise of the crowd, or the smell of wine and various desserts in the air, it's all quite tempting.

But...it's just a bit unreal to the real thing.

"What on earth is this..."

Jiang Ke rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had fallen into some trouble again.

She walked cautiously among the crowd, trying not to come into contact with others, but these people's bodies and expressions were quite exaggerated, so contact was inevitable.

You can also feel the texture and temperature of people's skin wherever they come into contact, and the language they speak is Mandarin that Jiang Ke understands. Through the light, she can see the appearance of these people.

Everyone is handsome or beautiful. There is no ugly one.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, her sudden visitor didn't attract anyone's attention. She felt like an NPC in the game world...

"Playing games within games, oh my god, what a hell!"

She hid in a small alley and complained like this.

Then, she secretly observed:

People coming and going all have smiles on their faces, and there are all kinds of shops in the distance. But there are no bosses or people collecting money. You just need to go in and take whatever you want.

What are also written on various banners: [Newly opened hotel], [New drinks at Starlight Bar], [New car customization by vehicle factory] and other slogans.

The entire city is shrouded in a gorgeous cyberpunk shell.

Jiang Ke watched for a while, then hid deep in the alley, then leaned against the wall and began to think.

There is no mission prompt at all. Although her skills can be used, it would be too wasteful to leave like this.

What is the existence of this world that looks so real?

Many problems troubled her, and she was thinking hard about her past life.

But no one even mentioned the existence of such a place in the previous life!

"Click~"

Just when she was thinking hard, she suddenly heard a sound. She followed the sound and saw that the thick metal wall suddenly cracked a hole.

A young man was walking out of it.

This was a young man who looked to be in his teens, and he looked pretty and cute. But Jiang Ke didn't feel the slightest bit of anger in him.

It seems to be a robot, or the so-called "bionic man" I saw in my previous life.

The young man obviously didn't expect that there would be anyone here, and his expression suddenly became respectful and docile.

He opened his mouth and said, "Dear Madam, do you need any help?"

The voice is pretending to be stiff and mechanical, and if you listen carefully you can hear the trembling sound inside.

"Are you a robot? An android? What is this place behind you?"

Jiang Ke didn't expect that the boy's expression would change as soon as he asked a question that he thought was not a problem. Then he gritted his teeth and a spark burst out between his eyebrows.

Then he collapsed softly.

His eyes became dull, and a touch of blue blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth...

It looks like he died just like that!

"..."

Jiang Ke felt like he had seen a ghost for a moment.
