"Ju Zipi is coming too?" Ke Mingye asked curiously.
"Yes, I will co too."
Ju Zipi smiled as he said this and took a sip of lemon water.
Ke Mingye looked towards Fan Quan.
"Just in case," said Fan Quan, "I've been getting to know the structure of the asylum recently to ensure that we can find the leader of 'Revolutionary Late Bell.' It requires three people to achieve this."
"Alright, but doesn't increasing the number of people also increase the risk of exposure?" Ke Mingye asked.
"I trust you guys, especially RottenOrang. After returning, let's go swimming together," said Fan Quan.
Ju Zipi replied, "Please, don't jinx it, thank you."
"When do we set off for England then?" Ke Mingye paused and picked up a sliced pear from the table, bringing it to his mouth, "Is it still the 20th as we discussed before?"
Fan Quan shook his head: "No, things have changed. We will have to leave a few days earlier than planned."
"When exactly?"
"The day after tomorrow," Fan Quan answered, "which is August 18th."
"What about the plan?"
"I'll explain it to you slowly through the chat panel. Anyway, let's finish this ga instance first. This instance was found by Top Bull while he was off work and going for a drink; it's very secluded."
"Ah, it's so hot, and just when we sat down, we have to move again, just kill ," Ke Mingye lounged on the couch, lying down Ge You style, sighing, "In my next life, let be transford into a Cowherd and get picked up directly by so rich woman."
"You're not too late to start that career now."
As Ju Zipi said this, he whisked by his side.
"Well, let's forget about that, after all, with our RottenOrang as a leading example, I think it would be hard for to make it in your Cowherd shop," Fan Quan closed his book after he said this.
"First of all, we do not hire minors."
Top Bull took a drag of his cigarette and said slowly as he passed in front of Ke Mingye.
...
...
Soon after, on Luo Dehua Comrcial Street.
Ke Mingye and the other three were about to head towards the alley where the ga instance was distributed. But as they approached the alley, for so reason, Ke Mingye suddenly stopped and his gaze lingered on the transparent glass wall of a bubble tea shop.
Through the glass wall, his vision settled on the face of a girl in a hoodie. She sat alone on a small round stool in front of the transparent showcase window, her head drooped down playing with her phone.
"Wait, wait, wait, isn't that person… All-Nighter Poppy?"
Ke Mingye's eyelid twitched slightly as he thought to himself.
Suddenly, Shi Neian, who was inside the bubble tea shop sipping on her drink, lifted her head lazily to glance at the scene outside the glass wall. Her lifeless gaze settled on his face.
And just like that, she held eye contact with Ke Mingye for a full three seconds.
"Damn it, am I going to be suspected now?"
Ke Mingye quickly averted his gaze, thinking to himself.
"What are you looking at for, shrimp?"
Shi Neian rested her chin on her hand, thinking to herself.
The next second, she lifted her phone, about to take a photo of him and send it to Sun Xiaochuan's fan club to rant with the fans, when she suddenly realized this world was not the sa as the other, and silently put her phone away.
Right then, Contracted Beast Kobe suddenly leapt out from her embrace.
Shi Neian was startled and almost choked on the tapioca pearl in her throat, quickly pressing the damn owl back into her arms.
Then, she discreetly raised her head to look around and saw no one had noticed before she breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her face, blocking the view from outside the glass wall with her backpack so that no one could see Kobe in her embrace.
Afterward, Shi Neian glanced at Kobe with a lethargic tone, "Kobe, what are you doing popping out all of a sudden? Do you want to scare to death? Oh, I get it, you see I didn't sleep well last night, so you hurry to scare to a sudden death, and then clear the spot to contract a more talented magical girl, right?"
Kobe was slightly startled: "I kind of feel like your way of speaking has been corrupted by hanging out with Xiaohongmao at the Alliance. Learn from her, but don't pick up her bad habits."
"That's not it, so what's the matter?" Shi Neian asked.
"Milk tea, tasty. I want milk tea too."
Kobe said seriously, raising a wing to tap on the bubble milk tea in Shi Neian's hand.
"Okay, okay... I'll buy it for you, just give a heads-up before you co out next ti."
Shi Neian sighed, took a sip of her milk tea, listlessly chewed on the pearls as she ordered a Hong Kong-style milk tea on her phone.
Taking advantage of this mont, the four of them swept past her, entering the alley near the milk tea shop. Separated only by a transparent glass wall, Shi Neian didn't notice their presence.
Kobe disappeared contentedly upon seeing this.
In the alley, the four walked side by side.
Fan Quan pushed up his glasses and casually remarked, "That girl just now seed to be a magic girl; I saw her Contracted Beast."
"Magic girls are a di a dozen, and can be found everywhere in Japan..." Top Bull took a puff of his cigarette, "But that Contracted Beast probably isn't hers. I didn't see a panel on her."
Ju Zipi calmly stated, "Since she's not a superhuman, she's not our hunting target. No need to bother with her."
Ke Mingye let out a light sigh of relief and said indifferently, "Indeed, as everyone knows, those chosen by Contracted Beasts to beco magic girls are definitely not lacking in looks: this one looks like a panda, with such heavy dark circles. If she got chosen by a Contracted Beast, that beast must have so screws loose in its head."
"That's a bit too much, picking on soone's appearance like that."
Ju Zipi shrugged, pulling out the sheath of Demon Sword Muramasa from his pack, readying himself for the instance.
"As expected of Cowherd, friend to all won," comnted Fan Quan.
"Cowherd's rule number one is never to attack any female custor's appearance," said Ju Zipi.
"Very professional," comnted Ke Mingye.
"Still not as good as ," boasted Top Bull.
Amidst their chatter, they reached the end of the alley and then walked down the stairs near an underground bar, arriving at an abandoned underground parking lot.
The parking lot was empty, desolate, and silent. Shifting their gaze away from the dim environnt ahead, a deep blue panel hovered mid-air, blocking the entrance.
[Instance Na: Dungeon Disaster]
[Instance Difficulty: F-rank]
[Instance Level Requirent: Level 10]
[Instance Required Number of Players: At least 4 people]
"Isn't the level too low?" Ke Mingye, looking sideways at Fan Quan, asked, "Why are we only taking on these small-fry instances lately? Are you looking down on our abilities?"
"Do you think instances are that easy to find? Huanjing is so big. There are barely over a hundred instances. Moreover, most of them are scattered in these secluded spots," said Fan Quan calmly.
"Stop the chatter, Ju Zipi and I still have to work the night shift," Top Bull removed the cigarette from his lips, pinching it in his fingers.
"Oh?" Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow, "Getting a taste of being beasts of burden with us, huh?"
Top Bull scoffed, "Sorry to disappoint, but the bar owner is friends with our Boss. They treat us pretty well: slacking off whenever I want, I can smoke twenty cigarettes in the bathroom in a day."
"Smoker, hurry up and beco extinct," said Fan Quan coldly.
As they spoke, the four extended their palms and pressed them against the panel.
As the light above grew more intense, their bodies vanished from the spot. A cold wind howled through, sweeping away the fallen leaves in the parking lot.
When Ke Mingye opened his eyes again, he saw a pitch-black dungeon. Iron nets blocked off all directions with only slivers of light streaming down from the skylight above.
From the darkness, growls and the grating sound of so creature sharpening its teeth could faintly be heard.
Then in the next mont, a figure about two ters tall slowly erged from the shadow of the dungeon, revealing its half-wolf, half-human body in the light falling from the skylight.
Its eyes glead with a bloody red ferocity, fixing its gaze on the four, saliva oozing from the corner of its mouth like pus.
[Instance Boss Na: Dungeon Werewolf - Maka Qiao'er]
[Instance Boss Level: Level 10]
[Instance Boss Introduction: Any human thrown into the dungeon will beco the food of Maka Qiao'er. So far, no one has survived its grasp.]
"We should make this quick."
Ke Mingye yawned, already rotating his arms, ready to execute the classic radio exercise move - Arm Spinning Skills.
"Say, can you let have a go at it alone first?"
Ju Zipi said with a smile, already stepping forward on his own. He drew the Demon Sword Muramasa from its sheath, the blade gleaming with a purple sinister light.
"Damn, did you awaken the War God Gene in you after returning from training in Japan?" Ke Mingye said, tilting his head quizzically as he watched his figure.
"I just want to test my strength," said Ju Zipi without turning back.
Top Bull sighed, "This kid always like this."
"No worries, if Ju dies, we'll join in. Might as well observe what skills the Boss has," said Fan Quan, already seated in a corner opening his Bible.
[The total number of players participating in this instance: 4 people - Failed Man, Fan Quan, Good Orange Skin, Top Bull.]
[The instance hunt officially begins, please defeat the instance Boss by any ans necessary: Dungeon Werewolf - Maka Qiao'er.]
