After being pulled, he had to follow Edge, Dadong and Ashu to the podium in a huge dance hall with red curtains, Anne soon found a bunch of weird dancers floating and dancing in the dance floor that was following a certain classical music.
Obviously, like the evil spirits, changing zombies she encountered outside, and some super-healthy "black long straight" sisters, the dancers in front of her were also all of them who were wearing dresses, but in fact they were completely decayed, all over their bodies, abscesses, maggots, and foul-like fouls and foul-like fouls!
Here, this is the first time Annie feels a little disgusted with why this backward VR game is still so realistic... Of course, maybe she shouldn't have used the all-round touch, smell collection and feedback game equipment that is many times more advanced than the "X1 Touch Set" to play?
"Is it here?"
(￢д￢.)
"But what about the key? Where is it? Could it be that it is going to hit those zombies again?!"?(??Д??≡????)!?
Anne looked at the strange dance floor dancing place where the green, emitting strange green smoke and glimmer, and all the zombies were floating in the air, and then asked Miss Artemis, who had already been here, with some confusion.
"I don't know the key yet, but the key figure has been found!"
"It's her!"
"Did you see it? The only normal 'woman' among those zombies, that Kira!"
"If I guess correctly, this is the zombie circle in "The Mansion of Chaos", one of the earliest games developed by Halliday! And the Shining is only a small part of it, so don't be fooled!"
"So I can basically confirm that the key to unlocking the second clue must be the one who looks the only normal woman!!"
Artemis stared at the NPC "Kira" who was dancing up and down on the dance floor and was dancing with those zombies in a wandering manner for a while, and then made her judgment with certainty.
It is indeed true that they came to the library to find the director and entered the Shining!
Isn't this?
They found the "ex-girlfriend" whom Haridi clearly liked the most but did not dare to confess. The Haridi specially arranged this scene and left behind the plausible clues. It was nothing more than wanting others to know his story and knowing that he was not an old bachelor who wanted to be a bachelor until death, but a dedicated person who really had a woman he liked but did not dare to confess or accept it?
Anyway, Artemis thought it was probably that way! As for whether it was that way, she couldn't confirm. After all, a young girl like her would definitely not be able to guess too much.
To be honest, if the easter eggs left by the other party were not related to the actual manipulation of those stocks and the "oasis" games, and those things had a huge effect on their careers, and even whether they could defeat the sixth person in IOI and that online creative company, she would definitely not easily guess and guess what perverted ideas a disgusting old man had, right?
“!!”
"It's a zombie again..."
"But how do we go to find her? I can't fly, and I don't bring those flying equipment or vehicles on my body!"
To be honest, if Ashu hadn't pulled himself, Edge would have wanted to run out long ago, so how could he stay in such a copy of gangsters and terrifying zombies everywhere?
"Maybe we can jump over!"
"Look! Through those zombies, use them as pedals and climbing props, and then try to lean against the 'Kirah' in the middle, and try to crack that clue?"
Artemis was a little eager to try.
Because she can basically be sure, sure and sure, the second key and the second important clue must be on the only normal female NPC surrounded by countless zombies, and it must be like that!
"Jump over? From the zombies?!"
"No, no!"
"Forget it, Artemis, I'm going to go there. I'm sure I won't go there anyway. I think it's almost time for me to quit this bad copy!"
Edge hurriedly waved his hand and took two steps back. Now he was embarrassed by the terrible rotten zombies here. If he still wanted him to jump from the terrible zombies to the woman, then let him go. He might rather not ask for the second key?
Anyway, he didn't think he could become the first lucky person to get three keys and then seize Halliday's Easter eggs under the surroundings of so many competitors who were stronger than him, and those friends in front of him and those sixth people in the IOI!
"There's nothing to do!"
"We have to jump over, you guys first let me go, I think I can try..."
As he spoke, Artemis began to take a few steps back, intending to accelerate from here, then jump to the pair of dancing zombie girls and zombie gentlemen who were closest to them, and then approach the center of the dangerous dance floor little by little?
“!!”
"Hmm? Annie, what are you doing?"
But unfortunately, before Artemis had time to speed up, she was pulled by a little guy and her pants were grabbed by a little bit anxious and puzzled, which made her lower her head and ask.
Because, there is not much time now, they must try to crack and get the key and find the clue sooner. If that woman is not the key problem of the clue, then they must quit and try again!
"No need to jump, he's a mage..."
ε=(??ο｀*))) Alas
"So, let's take a look for you? At least, they must be a little faster than all of you combined!"
??(??'′▽′)?????
After saying that, regardless of what Edge and the Little Sister Artemis thought, Anne flashed and easily reached the sky above the woman named "Kila". With a wave of her wand, she opened the zombie who was dancing with the other party and beat her to the bottomless abyss.
Then, she casts the spell again, pulling the woman together and slowly slitting towards the floating rock in the middle of the dance floor.
"What's next?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Is there anything else they need to do?!"
(??????????????)???????????????
After landing on the floating rock in the middle of the dance floor with the slow fall technique, Anne turned her head and asked the people at the entrance of the dance floor on the other side.
‘!!’
'It turns out that mages are so convenient. It's not a pity that he is Haridi's own son... No, I will learn magic and become a great mage another day!'
'ah?'
'You'd better forget it! Edge, you definitely can't learn it. Those spells may be more difficult than advanced mathematics and analytical geometry in college. You'd better save it!'
‘No way? But Dadong, you are not a Dharma Master, how did you know?’
‘Because I learned it!’
'Then what?'
‘Not! Do you know why there are so few mages in the game? Why are there so few who have won the title of Arcane Wizard?’
‘??’
'Why?'
‘Because arcane is more difficult than ‘Mathematical Olympiad’! With the title of the great arcane wizard, I have only seen Anne alone in so many years!’
‘!!’
‘It’s really that awesome?’
‘Of course it’s amazing, otherwise why could she, the Dark Girl, stay away from justice for so long, even the IOI and the Fan League Guild can’t do anything to her?!’
'You said that, and you think about it carefully...'
‘Then Dadong, I really can’t learn magic?!’
‘This is not impossible, it’s really hard for the wizard, but you can go to the scholar’s ​​spell or the priest’s?’
‘Is there any difference?’
‘Those two professions are different from the Dharma Master. It is said that you don’t need to learn too much. One only needs to be cruel to yourself and the other only needs to be cruel to others (hardly fooling you)? However, both professions require some prerequisites and are not so easy to learn...’
'ah?'
Edge, Ashu and Dadong ignored a little girl who had been impatient on the dance floor, and kept exploring loudly the differences and insights between the wizard, the sorcerer and the priest.
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
"Hey! Tell me quickly, what should I do next?"
o(*'　ー??)o
Seeing those guys actually started talking, Annie finally felt a little impatient, wishing she could flash and teleport over and kick them one by one!
'I see!!'
‘Anne!!’
‘Hurry! Invite her to dance, or kiss her! And then…!!’
At this time, Artemis had just expressed the guess she knew, but in an instant, a powerful suction force appeared in the direction of the stage gate, and then instantly sucked the five of them outside and disappeared directly, and had been teleported to the entrance of the "Shirt".
Obviously, the five-minute time limit has been reached, and players who have not completed certain judgment conditions for the dungeon will be transmitted directly by the system for granted.
“!!”
!(;??o??)o
“…”
(ー`??ー)
Seeing that Miss Artemis and others were teleported out before they finished speaking, and they could not use friend communication at all. There was no way, Anne had to frown and turned around and stared at the Oppasan who was smiling in front of her. In the current situation, she might have to decide what to do by herself. Those guys must not be able to count on.
"Invite her to dance or kiss her?!"
(￢д￢.)
"Forget it like that... I think it might be easier to burn her directly?!"
??(ψ｀▽′)o??
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to react, Annie raised her hand and made a flame impact, causing a tongue of flames to sweep and lick the other party directly, and instantly burned the other party to ashes in a scream and scream.
(…)
ε=(?????'●))) Alas
Then!
Before Anne could burn the surrounding zombies again, she saw that as the woman was burned to ashes by her, the surrounding zombies instantly shattered into pieces like ashes, and then quickly gathered in front of her, and finally formed a bad image of an old man who she expressed very familiarity with, wearing a hooded hood.
There is no doubt that Anne cracked the second clue and found Harrydy, the other party's game image, the bad old man Prophet Arnook, who she particularly hates!
"Ahhh! I've caught you!!"
(????????)
"See the trick!!"
??(ψ｀▽′)o?????
When Annie found that the old man, Haridy, appeared, she couldn't wait to smash the restless fire technique that had been planning for a long time and directly smashed her face towards the other party!!!
“??”
Halliday was caught off guard. He didn't know what the little girl in front of him was thinking. She was as crazy as she did what she did to him as soon as she met?
"etc?!"
"you……"
??
Boom~!!!
The next moment, a unlucky Harry had just appeared and took out a green jade key with relief. He was about to hand it over to the other party to open the treasure chest for the second clue, and he was shocked to find that a huge fireball of the explosion of flame had hit his hood, and instantly made him burn in a huge explosion, and instantly turned into pieces of ashes...
"snort!"
ε=(??ˇεˇ????)))Ph!!
"If you don't learn well, it depends on whether you dare to encourage those bad guys to cheat during the game in the future?!"
(??????????)hey-hey!
A fire burned the other party and then got the jade key. Anne, who felt refreshed and comfortable, no longer looked at the other party's ashes, and directly teleported back to the entrance of the big house in the "Shirting" Theater, and successfully saw Edge, Miss Artemis, who had been waiting outside a little impatiently.
‘!!’
‘How is it, Anne?’
‘Great! This is the second key, the jade key, right?’
‘Tell us quickly, what exactly is said in the clue that the second key opened?!’
‘??’
‘Anne?’
Seeing a little girl coming out and seeing what the other party was holding, Artemis, Edge, Dadong and others surrounded him and planned to hear what the other party got about what the clues they were saying.
"ah!!"
━(??Δ??∥)━ン
"that……"
(′～`●)
"I just forgot to open the box and came out right away..."
(^～^;)ゞ
Anne, heartless and completely ignored that kind of trivial matter, seemed to have come back to her senses at this time, feeling that she was too happy after 'burning' the clone of the old man Anoke, so she accidentally forgot something important?
‘!!’
'It seems that our guess is right, it's that woman, Kira! Artemis, hurry up, let's separate the team and go into the dungeon one by one, try to get the keys and clues as soon as possible, and don't be robbed of the ranking by the IOI people!'
‘Ah? OK, OK!’
‘??’
‘Edge? Are you not going?!’
‘No! I won’t go! You can go by yourself, don’t worry about me, I’m here!’
‘Are you scared?’
‘I’m not scared!!’
'You're just scared! We've figured it out just now, and Anne has also got the key. Now we just need to run to the dance floor and find that woman as fast as possible. What else are you worried about?'
‘…’
‘No matter what, you guys don’t care about me anyway! Artemis and Pasifal have already entered, so you two should go in as soon as possible!’
'you……'
In the end, Edge, who seemed a little timid or had no resistance to those evil spirits, still stubbornly did not choose to go in, but just watched his four companions leave the team and run in from the entrance... Then, he just got the key with someone, but did not remember to look at the clues and wait patiently at the exit.
"Anne!"
"You've seen Harridy again? What did he say this time?"
Although he didn't plan to go in, it didn't prevent Edge from inquiring about the content he cared about with a little girl around him.
"What did you say?"
∑(°〼°〃)?!
"I didn't say anything. He just said 'wait' and was burned by a fireball!!"
????(????'??)?????????
“!!”
"You attacked Halliday?!!"
Unconsciously, Edge's voice became a little sharper, and he stared at the terrible little girl with an expression of no mind and impatience, staring at the terrible little girl with an expression of no mind and impatience.
"What's so strange about that!"
(ˉ▽￣～～)Cut
"I wanted to burn it last time. If he hadn't run fast... Forget it, I won't wait with you anymore. It's a bit boring. Let's talk about it when they crack the third clue!"
(*??????`??)
After saying that, after making a big face at Edge, Annie directly put away the jade key that seemed useless, then waved her hand, opened an oval magic portal, jumped inside, and disappeared quickly.
At this time, on the scoring board of the Easter Egg Game for Finding Halliday, a little girl, the name of Anne Hasta, a wizard with the title of "Dark Daughter", and her already ranked first, surged again, increasing by 100,000, and set aside the two and third places Pasifal and Artemis, respectively.
...
'Report!'
‘Sir, I think you have to look at this first?’
Then, at the same time, in the IOI Online Creative Company, the second largest company in the world in 2045, a small supervisor hurriedly called Nolan Sorrento, the company's manager, and respectfully handed a electronic panel showing the scoreboard of the Halliday Easter Egg Game to the local hand under the other party's impatient look.
‘!!’
‘It’s that dark daughter again!!’
‘Hmm?!’
‘Why is there that Pasifal? What the hell is going on? He isn’t already…’
If he saw the dark daughter Anne Hasta on the panel who repeatedly opposed their IOI companies in the game and just caused heavy casualties for them two days ago, then seeing Pasifal's score change again really made Nolan Sorrento feel a little frightened.
Because he clearly sent someone to blow the residence of the dead otaku who lived in the slum into pieces... But now, why can the other party's points still change?
‘!!’
‘Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?!’
Nolan Sorrento, who had resisted the fact that there was little information about it, stopped talking at the first moment, waited for a while, and then forced the supervisor to ask in a certain unknown anger.
‘That’s it…’
‘One of our Easter Egg Hunters saw these guys who were ranked high on the standings enter that library not long ago!’
‘He sneaked over and heard them unravel the clue…’
‘Next, as long as we win the Shining Challenge, we can get that second Emerald Key!’
‘However, that challenge seems to be a bit difficult. I don’t know if those people have found some loopholes or bugs… In short, our personnel have lost hundreds of people at present, but they still have no way to find a way…’
‘In this way, at least six people are ahead of us…’
Pointing at the scoreboard and signaling the boss to see their terrible staff who were shouting, the supervisor said helplessly.
Obviously, their IOI points are now seriously behind those few players with rapid progress. In this way, if they continue to follow those people to solve puzzles, then there is no doubt that in the end, Halliday's Easter Egg will definitely be out of reach with their company.
'alright!'
‘I understand this, you can go and do it first! Remember, tell them to pass that Shining level and get that final clue as soon as possible!’
‘If you fall behind others this time, don’t think about getting the bonus from their puzzle team this year!’
After waved and shouting impatiently, asking the supervisor to quickly stare at the useless employees to work and try to find the easter eggs, Nolan Sorrento quickly walked to a place where no one was, then quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
‘That’s right! It’s me!’
‘Zander…’
‘That boy, he is still alive!!!’
'Also, he may be with that hateful little girl, with that dark daughter now! So, I hope, you can find them for me in the shortest time at all costs!'
‘Yes, I’m talking about the real world! I need to find them in the real world and catch them! It’s all for the company, do you understand?’
‘Very good! I hope you can bring me good news as soon as possible…’
‘That’s it!!’
After sinisterly issued a strict time-limited order to a female field supervisor in her company's security department, Nolan Sorrento, the manager of the IOI online creative company, hung up the communication on her phone, and then viciously squeezed it into her palm.
Chapter completed!
