Chapter 33 Sneak Attack

Qin Chuhe met his gaze, a little surprised, but not surprised, just nodded silently, as if he was ready to be questioned by him.However, Cheng Mo's first sentence surprised him - it turned out to be a candid and sincere apology:

"I overheard the conversation between you and Jacky in the early morning, I'm sorry." Cheng Mo sincerely told what happened between Qin Chuhe and Jacky that he overheard, "I'm a little worried about where you went, I didn't expect to hear that I’m really sorry that I kept listening to the end because it seemed to be related to me.”

"I know you have something important to hide from me, and I feel it myself." Cheng Mo met Qin Chuhe's gaze without hesitation, but his tone was soft, "I haven't known you for a long time, but I know What kind of person are you, you won't do anything to harm me, I think there should be an explanation for all of this."

"From the first time I met you, I started to have some dreams that I had never done before. In the dream, there was a boy whose appearance was not clear. We fled in the changing world. Sometimes I pulled him, more It was time for him to pull me." Cheng Mo sat down, and his thoughts drifted into a distant dream, "When I was pulling him to run, there was only one clear thought in my mind, 'Take him home'."

"I'm going to take him home, I thought so. It's obviously an inspiring word, but when I said it, I could only feel the pain in my heart, like a long-term ill person struggling to drink a poisonous potion, Knowing that it is useless, but I can't give up that tiny ray of hope." Cheng Mo sighed inaudibly, "Every escape ends in failure. I always watch that boy die in various ways. In front of me, and I've never even seen his face clearly."

"Before I entered this game, although my life had no climaxes, it was always stable and peaceful. I had parents who loved me, mentors who cared for me a lot, and two or three close friends, but this game made my life Something has changed. Liu Hui once said that those who can enter the game must have a reason. I want to know why I came here, and I also want to know..." Cheng Mo looked into Qin Chuhe's eyes, "Our encounter , is there any inevitable reason?"

Qin Chuhe looked at him silently, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated half of his face, stretching his thin shadow on the ground very long.There was a trace of silent mourning in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Mo.

"I want to hear a lot of explanations, but now is not a good time, is it?" Cheng Mo suddenly smiled. He smiled cleanly and warmly, with a slight dimple at the corner of his mouth. "After this dungeon is over, consider Tell me a little about your story, Qin Chuhe. I will unconditionally choose to believe everything you say, so don't lie to me."

"Besides, there is one more thing." Cheng Mo smiled slyly, feeling good because Qin Chuhe's body tensed again before he could fully relax.He leaned close to Qin Chuhe's ear and whispered, "Don't think about making a wish to let me forget you as soon as this dungeon is over. If you do, I think I will find a way to enter this game by myself. In order to prevent myself from forgetting you, I have insurance mechanism."

The interrogation of Jack the Ripper was completed at this time. A group of police officers walked out of the interrogation room one after another. The murderer in prison uniform was dejectedly escorted to an armed vehicle and was about to be taken to the Tower of London[Note 1].Lu Yifan and Jacky also just opened the door and came in. The former's hair was messed up like a chicken coop. He had obviously been running in the wind for a long time. He looked out of breath and had nothing to love. He only gave them a strange look: " How is the atmosphere between you two peaceful?"

"Why, we're not like you and Jacky—on the surface we shout and fight, but in fact we have a good relationship." Cheng Mo stretched his waist, knowing that Jacky's topic would be the best way to divert Lu Yifan's attention.

Sure enough, Lu Yifan's face suddenly changed, and he looked extremely disgusted: "Who has a good relationship with him? You can't be blind as a man, brother tells you."

Jacky yawned lazily, teasing Lu Yifan put him in a good mood, and even his eyes became a lot more lazy, reminiscent of a gorgeous and expensive exotic cat.He looked at Qin Chuhe with a hint of clarity in his eyes:

"The road ahead, you have to move forward without hesitation. Oh yes——"

He snapped his fingers, and the system list was refreshed. The assets of Cheng Mo, Qin and Chuhe increased by 500 million pounds in real time, plus the tolls of other players during their investigation of the murder case, it reached exactly 3300 million pounds, which is exactly the same as No. 3 gap narrowed to £300m.

"Although I don't really want to, but the system requirements are like this, and I have to send you an extra station." Jacky sighed reluctantly, turned on the system and turned around a few times, "Let me see...just Euston Square[Note 2] Bar."

A red light flashed, and the Euston Square site was also under the ownership of Qin Chuhe and Cheng Mo.

Lu Yifan's eyes glowed green with envy, and he didn't care about the grievances with Jacky, so he almost asked in a low voice:

"Hey, hey, do I have it?"

"You didn't." Jacky answered him mercilessly, smiling, with a gentle and even intimate tone, "After all, you didn't trigger a random event, baby."

"Fuck off, don't take advantage of my brother and I if it's not beneficial." Lu Yifan changed his color instantly, and ran several meters away from Jacky.

"Everyone met once, so I won't talk nonsense. I hope you two will take good care of me. My appearance will not change, and my name is also my real name. If we meet outside of the game, I hope you two will say hello to me. We can have a hot pot together." Lu Yifan chuckled, threw the dice to the throwing plate in front of him, and waved to Qin Chuhe and Cheng Mo, "Just leave now."

The current top five on the real-time list are:

[No.1 player [Lu Yifan] real-time assets of 6800 million pounds]

[No.2 team [Red Carp and Green Carp and Donkey] real-time assets of 4200 million pounds]

[No.3 player [Kongtong Ji Shengui] real-time assets of 3600 million pounds]

[No.4 group [Li Ming and Li Hua] real-time assets of 3300 million pounds]

[No.5 player [blame me for being too beautiful] real-time assets of 2900 million pounds]

It can be said that except for Lu Yifan, the assets of the other players are very similar, especially in the late stage of the Monopoly game, most of the vacant land is owned by the players, and there is almost no unoccupied land.This also means that almost every site, players need to pay tolls to the owner.

In addition, the owner of contiguous land can choose to pay to upgrade the land, and the toll fee of the upgraded land will be doubled.This series of operations will suddenly speed up the progress in the middle and late stages of the game, and any trivial operation may lead to the player's sudden wealth or bankruptcy.

Cheng Mo rolled the dice, and Qin Chuhe raised his eyebrows when he saw the site displayed above, and said softly:

"Good luck."

I saw that the next site displayed by the system was TheBritishMuseum, the British Museum.After checking the map, Cheng Mo also understood why Qin Chuhe said they were "lucky".

——From Whitechapel to the British Museum, if you take the ground route, you need to pass through multiple sites that have been occupied by others, one of which has undergone land upgrades, and they need to pay a lot of tolls for this journey.However, in the random event triggered this time, the Euston subway station presented by Jacky according to the system requirements happened to solve the problem for them.

There's no other reason - the tube station is right next to the British Museum, and it's a direct Central line from Whitechapel.According to the rules of the Monopoly game, subway station owners can pass between the stations they own for free, without having to pay tolls for passing the land on the ground.In other words, they can take the subway directly from here to the next station, and avoid all tolls.

"I hope to be favored by the god of luck forever." Cheng Mo sighed, and set foot on the subway to the British Museum together with Qin Chuhe.

The British Museum is located in the first district of London and is one of the largest comprehensive museums in the world.In addition to domestic collections, the vast majority of the British Museum's collections are actually composed of foreign cultural relics.Its building has a Greek-style exterior, and the overall shape is a square. Common collections are classified and placed in the square-shaped building according to regions and countries, while the circular pavilion in the large atrium usually only holds regular exhibitions of rare collections.

It was dark when we arrived at the entrance of the British Museum, and it was quiet here, as if there were no security personnel on duty at night.Cheng Mo checked the iron fence at the entrance and found that there was no padlock, and it opened easily with a push.

After entering the main hall, the security checkpoint was also silent, only a few cold lights in the corner for illumination were flickering rather than nothing, and it didn't look like there was anyone.Cheng Mo sighed, he was a little puzzled, and was about to enter the open-air large atrium. Before his front foot could step through the door, Qin Chuhe quickly pushed him aside, and rolled in the opposite direction on the spot!

With a "dang", a spherical weight slammed to the ground.The surface of the spiky spikes attached to it, like a wolf's fangs, came into contact with the ground, sparks splashed all over the place, and the terrazzo floor tiles cracked.One hit failed, the iron chain on the back chain jingled, the spherical weight was jerked back, and with a young boy's cold snort, it fell back into the hands of a thin figure hiding in the darkness.

Successfully fending off a sneak attack, Qin Chuhe didn't look relieved, on the contrary, his expression was solemn. When his eyes glanced at a place above Cheng Mo's head, he suddenly froze. Block another black shadow falling from the sky!

There was only a tooth-piercing sound of sharp blades slicing through metal, and the black shadow bounced back, with a very dexterous figure.After the shadow jumped back to a safe distance, he stood up straight, and put the handle of the weapon across his shoulders—with his back facing the huge cold moon, the girl's silver-like chuckle came from afar, and a sharp silver sword shone with cold light. The thread slipped across the blade, and it turned out to be a long and pointed machete that didn't match her figure.

There were actually two sneak attackers!
