Chapter 3678 Geralt
When Starworm saw the Wasteland-style man was about to leave, he subconsciously wanted to call him.
It was a rare opportunity to meet someone he could talk to, so he wanted to take this opportunity to ask the other party for information about Prada Media Company.
However, the speed at which the other party left was beyond imagination.
When the Starworm called out, he had already disappeared.
Starworm murmured: "Am I too slow to yell?"
"No, you are already very fast. It is his presence that has disappeared." Gleipnir groaned.
She saw with her own eyes that the other person walked quickly into the crowd not far away, and then in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. This disappearance did not mean that he was invisible, because if you counted the heads, there was obviously one more person in the group.
This shows that he has integrated into that group of people.
But it reduces his own presence, so that outsiders automatically ignore his impression when counting him.
"Reduce your presence?"
"Hmm, this should be some kind of fashion magic." Gleipnir whispered.
Gleipnir looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away, not following his lead. She understood what Starworm meant by calling him, so she said softly, "It's okay, we can ask someone else for directions."
Starworm could only nod, after all, he didn't know where the other party had gone.
"By the way, what do you think of what he just said?" Gleipnir looked at the starworm. "Do you think he is telling the truth?"
Starworm recalled for a moment: "I feel like it should be the truth. His tone, the look in his eyes when he spoke, and the details of his expression, don't sound like he's talking."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he really thinks we are from the 'underground neighborhood'."
"However, I don't quite understand why he is so sure that we are from the 'underground district'." Starworm touched his brick mask: "Could it be because my ruins-style mask has the same style as his?"
Gleipnir shook his head. "It's probably not because of the mask."
"If it's because of the style of the mask, he'll just think you're from the underground neighborhood and won't include me."
Gleipnir's outfit had nothing to do with ruins or wasteland. If I had to classify it, it would probably be astrology style? Or classical magic style?
But the other party also identified Gleipnir as a fellow traveler from the underground district, so his basis for judgment had absolutely nothing to do with the dressing style.
Gleipnir thought for a moment and said, "He just mentioned two key points. One is identity, and the other is touch."
"Perhaps, his judgment is based on these two points."
According to him, people in the underground block have no identity. In other words, they have no legal identity. Although they live in the modern city, they are not protected by the city's security.
He later mentioned that once we were encountered by Wattance, he would be able to tell that we were from the underground neighborhood without an identity.
This shows that the people of Modern City may have mastered the ability to judge the identity of others through contact.
From these two points, we can infer a possibility:
Perhaps, the reason why he believed that Gleipnir and Starworm were born in the underground district was because he realized that they had no identity.
Since they found out that they had no identity, the Wasteland Man naturally identified them as "people from the underground block."
As for how to detect it?
Then comes the topic of touch.
At that time, when they were observing the clothes and appearance of people outside in the alley, this wasteland-style man crawled out of the sewer in the alley and passed by them.
It was during that "brush shoulder" that they had close contact with each other.
Therefore, the other party judged that they had no identity. And the only people without identity in Modern City could be people from the underground district.
After Gleipnir's sorting, the starworm slowly came to its senses.
"It seems to be true." A flash of enlightenment flashed in Starworm's eyes, and then he seemed to have thought of something: "If the people in the underground block have no legal identity. Then maybe we can pretend to be from the underground block?"
When they came out of the ruins area before, they observed the dress of people from outside because they were worried that they would not be able to integrate into this copy.
But now, thanks to a word from the Wasteland Man, they can completely pretend that they are from the underground block!
The "no identity" of the underground block is actually a kind of identity.
Gleipnir: "Of course, but I don't think now is the time to discuss identities. Let's not forget our business."
The matter of identity may be used in the main mission later.
But now, they haven't even completed the first round of main tasks, so there is no need to consider the issue of identity.
"That's right." Starworm scratched his head: "Then let's go upstairs and go to the train platform."
Temporarily suppressing their other thoughts, they came to the stairs and wanted to go upstairs.
But soon they were driven out.
The first six floors of the Weifu Building are commercial buildings, and people can enter and exit freely. But above the sixth floor, all the way to the eighteenth floor, are residential areas. And the residential area has door cards. If you want to go upstairs, you must prove that you are a user of the residential area, or be picked up by someone in the residential area.
Since they didn't have a door card, they were naturally kicked out.
Back inside the mall, Starworm looked at Gleipnir: "What should we do now?"
Gleipnir did not answer, but simply motioned for the starworm to stretch out his hand.
Starworm stretched out his hand in confusion.
Gleipnir reached out his cane and touched his staff. The next second, the silent text column in his field of vision suddenly jumped up.
Starworm glanced at the text column with some confusion.
The first thing he saw was the word "door card". He was stunned: "Could this be the door card for us to go upstairs? How did you get it?"
Gleipnir was silent for two seconds: "Look carefully at the prefix of the door card."
"The prefix of the door card?" Starworm muttered aloud: "Manor...door card?"
Gleipnir nodded. "This is the door card of the text manor. Outside the fairyland, you can use it to enter the manor every day..."
Gleipnir briefly explained the function of the manor door card.
"I wanted to give it to you before, but you need a text field to activate this door card."
Now that the Starworm had a text column, and he had just hit a wall because he did not have permission to enter the residential area, Gleipnir remembered the door card, so he took this opportunity to hand it to him.
Starworm: "Can this door card only be used outside of Wonderland?"
Gleipnir nodded, "There is no way to activate him in Fairyland."
Starworm thought about it and it made sense. If he could enter the text space at any time in the wonderland, he could hide in it when he encountered danger. Then he would be invincible when conquering the wonderland.
After putting away the door card.
Starworm asks what they should do next.
Gleipnir: "Residential areas are private areas, so it's normal to have access cards. But the platform on the 20th floor should be an open area like a shopping mall. There must be a way to get up there."
Gleipnir was so sure because Angel had told him that people in the underground block would sneak on the train. And the people in the underground block must be like them, unable to enter the residential area, so how did they get to the 20th floor platform? There must be a way to get to the 20th floor directly.
So how do you find this method?
Just go find a crowded place.
There must be a lot of people taking the train. They probably don't have the permission to enter the residential area, so if they want to go to the 20th floor, there must be other ways.
Sure enough, after searching for a while, Gleipnir and Starworm found an elevator that went directly to the 20th floor in a place with a lot of traffic.
The road after that was smooth.
They successfully arrived at the high-altitude platform and found a city map on the platform.
This map is different from what Starworm imagined. It is not an orbital map, but a thumbnail of the city, which marks the various landmark facilities, public buildings and well-known companies in the modern city.
The location of Prada Media is also marked on the map.
However, Starworm discovered that Prada Media was located in the North 9th District, which was a bit far from their South 13th District.
If you just walk there without taking any vehicle, you will definitely not be able to reach the destination before the countdown ends.
So they have to take a vehicle.
There are only two vehicle options. One is the Black Tiger. Once you know the destination, it will definitely take enough time to get there by riding the Black Tiger, but you need to consider the impact of the Black Tiger carrying passengers. The second is to choose public transportation.
For example, the shuttle train at this platform can reach the North 9th District. After getting off the train, it only takes a few minutes to walk to Prada Media.
Taking the shuttle train is definitely more concealed, but now there is a new problem: there are not only ticket inspectors but also security guards on the platform.
If they want to take the train, they have to buy tickets.
Purchasing a ticket requires identity and money, but they don't have these two necessary conditions.
Otherwise, why not let Hei Hu take them there?
Just when the starworm was struggling, Gleipnir patted his shoulder gently, and in the starworm's puzzled eyes, she pointed to a place not far away.
Starworm looked in the direction of her finger.
But they saw the door of a corridor in the distance was opened, and a figure was waving at them.
Looking closely, it was the man with the wasteland style from before.
Starworm and Gleipnir looked at each other, made a decision instantly, and walked towards each other.
When they arrived in front of the gate, the man with the wasteland style quickly motioned for them to come in and quickly closed the door.
After the door was locked, he said unhappily, "You guys really don't understand anything. Didn't you see the police dog looking in your direction?"
"The sheriff still needs to make contact with you to determine your identity, but those mechanical police dogs don't need that. Their glowing eyes are natural scanners that record all the legal citizens of Modern City."
"If you are spotted by the police dogs and found to be from the underground block, you are done for."
"If I hadn't looked out through the peephole and spotted you, you would have probably run into the police dog by now."
After a round of scolding, the wasteland-style man secretly looked out through the peephole. After making sure that the police dog and the sheriff had left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the sheriffs outside District 9 turn a blind eye to people like us in the underground neighborhood. As long as the police dogs don't catch us, they won't come looking for us on their own initiative."
"Compared to machines, humans are more emotional."
After sighing, the man with the wasteland style looked at the two silent "kindred spirits" and sighed softly: "It's fate. In less than an hour, we have met three times in a row."
Since they were so destined to meet, the Wasteland Style man thought about it and decided to get to know each other.
He extended an olive branch, and Gleipnir and Starworm would naturally not refuse it. They just happened to need to find out more information about the Modern City from him.
After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, Gleipnir learned the man's name.
Geralt.
When Geralt said his name, the long-lost reminder of Wonderland appeared in their minds.
Geralt
“Geralt was one of the key figures in the arson case at the Modern City Art Museum 20 years ago. Contacting him and other characters in the same series may trigger the side quest “The Truth Covered by the Flame”.”
When Gleipnir first saw the fairyland prompt, he thought that the mission had been triggered.
But I didn’t expect it to be just Geralt’s character information.
This is unprecedented, the first time that a character profile in a dungeon has been recognized by the Wonderland prompts.
Perhaps, this is the special mechanism of the "Modern City" copy?
After reading Geralt's introduction, Starworm might still be a little confused; but Gleipnir probably guessed that the other party's side quest should be related to the degree of exploration.
Although the ultimate main mission of this copy is to reach the top of fashion.
However, simply reaching the pinnacle of fashion will not push the exploration level to 100%. You still need to complete more side quests, random quests, and collect more puzzles of fashion monsters to gradually push the exploration level to 100% perfection.
In other words, if someone wants to complete the "Prada Beauty Pageant" perfectly in the future, they will most likely need to contact Geralt and complete his side quest.
As for how to receive the "truth hidden by the flames" in Geralt, Gleipnir guessed that it should be related to the degree of identification.
Just like in the Uriel copy, a group of people are trying to increase Luigi's recognition. Only after reaching a certain level of recognition can they obtain the qualification to go to the Dream Crystal Plain.
Similarly, if they want to get the side quests from Geralt, they may need to contact Geralt frequently, increase their recognition, and eventually let him take the initiative to release the side quests.
Of course, the above is just Gleipnir's guess, and she is not sure whether it is true or not.
She had no intention of advancing the exploration of this dungeon, so even though she knew that Geralt had a side quest, she silently ignored it.
The same was true for Starworm. He also saw the Wonderland prompt, but he didn't think about pursuing this side quest.
He has the will, but he is powerless.
He would stay in Dream Crystal Plain for six days at most, and he definitely wouldn't be able to come into contact with this side quest in six days, so he pretended not to see it.
After introducing themselves to each other, Gleipnir brought up the idea of taking a train.
Because she knew that Geralt, as the Blade of the Underground District, would be able to help them.
As expected, after listening to it, Geralt said naturally: "It just so happens that I am here to take the train, so you guys can join me later."
