Chapter 3817 Echoes of the Past
Facing Xiaolu's serious expression, Angel chuckled: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask the Hermits for a small favor."
Xiaolu: "What's the matter?"
"Here's what happened. One of my friends recently left Modern City, and before he left, he asked me to look after his daughter."
Xiaolu: "Sir, do you want us to help take care of your friend's daughter?"
Angel shook his head: "No, she has a nanny at home, so she doesn't need any care in life. What my friend meant by care is to help her daughter when she encounters difficulties."
"And recently, his daughter encountered a difficulty..."
"My friend's daughter is called Danny, and she is currently studying at Modern Middle School. Recently, Modern Middle School is organizing a style party, and students who want to become designers have started their own style parties..."
"Dani naturally has her own style party, but everyone else's party is very lively, only Dani's style party is sparsely attended."
Little Green hadn't understood Angel's request so far: "Why was there no one at Dani's style party? Is it because she's not popular?"
Angel shook his head: "Not really, it's mainly because of the party Danny hosted, the style is very niche..."
"She chose Halloween as the theme and held a Halloween party," Angell said, making a "ghost claw" gesture.
Halloween? Xiaolu immediately understood that Halloween is a theme festival in Modern City, also known as the Ghost Festival, which means that demons are dancing wildly. However, because the word "ghost" doesn't sound very pleasant, it was changed to "Halloween".
To put it bluntly, a Halloween party is a style party with ghost-themed styles.
For adults, dressing up as a ghost is actually not a big deal. Moreover, some ghosts have extremely special styles and can attract many magicians.
But for children who are still in school, they are frightened and afraid of "ghosts".
They may be able to watch from a distance out of curiosity, but it may be a bit difficult for them to dress up as ghosts and join the party. They are curious but dare not approach.
Because of this, Xiaolu finally understood why Dany's Halloween party was so deserted.
"Although little Danny is very strong, I feel sad when I think of her being alone at the party." Angel sighed, "As for me, although I can go to little Danny's party, I'm alone after all, and I can't join in the lively atmosphere, so..."
Angel raised his head and looked at Xiaolu: "I hope the Hermits can help me find some people, not too many, about 20 will be fine, dressed in Halloween style, to participate in Little Danny's style party."
"So that's how it is..." Xiaolu had thought it was something particularly difficult. It was just finding some people to join in the fun at Dany's style party, which was still very simple.
"It's not difficult. There are special hired teams in the deep underground black market that take on missions... Sir, do you have any requirements for the people who attend the party? For example, identity requirements? Time requirements?"
Angel shook his head: "There is no identity requirement. This style party is organized by the school. We don't need magicians, ordinary people are fine, and there is no age limit. Of course, it's better to be about the same age as little Dany."
"As for time, there is a limit. Because the party has already started and will end tomorrow morning, so if possible, I would like to find someone to go there now."
"By the way, after they go, it's best not to say that I found them."
Xiaolu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I understand this."
Angel: "I don't know, how much does it cost to hire these people?"
Xiaolu calculated that if he only hired ordinary people, 20 Modern Coins per person would be enough. However, considering that they had to dress up as "ghosts", they would also need to pay for the rental of costumes and makeup.
If the conditions are extremely tight, 30 Modern Coins per person would be enough. But if there are more relaxed conditions, that would definitely be better.
Angel: "Then fifty per person."
Angel has millions of Modern Coins in his hands, so this little money is not a big deal to him.
Xiaolu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go find someone now. Do you need to arrange for them to go with you, sir?"
Angel: "No, they can go there by themselves. Just remember not to be late."
Xiaolu: "Don't worry, I won't be late."
With Xiaolu's assurance, Ingres felt relieved.
Everything he just described was made up in order to complete the random task "Miss Halloween". Of course, it was not entirely made up, and some reality was also combined.
Angel checked the school's archives through a bird's eye view and confirmed Dani's identity information. Knowing her background and her father's recent departure from Modern City, he fabricated a story about "taking care of a friend's daughter".
Anyway, Dany's father is not in Modern City, so no one will expose him.
As for Dany...isn't it normal for a child to not recognize all of his father's friends?
In short, the progress of this task has begun to move forward.
Just wait for the results.
When Xiaolu was about to leave to hire someone, Angel suddenly thought of something and asked again: "By the way, have you heard of a fashionable monster called 'Time Radio'?"
Time Radio is the fashion monster that caused Starworm to fall into the challenge space.
When Xiaolu heard the name "Time Radio", his expression changed slightly and his brows were obviously furrowed.
"what happened?"
Xiaolu shook her head: "Nothing, just some bad memories."
After a pause, Xiaolu continued: "Time Radio is a fashion monster in the heat series. Judging from its level, it is considered a mid-level monster."
"However, its number is relatively rare even among mid-level monsters. Because if you want to encounter it, you must go to an environment full of stories."
"But this kind of environment is something you can only encounter by chance."
What is an "environment full of stories"? For example, a "haunted house" where a murder has occurred is an environment full of stories.
But even if it is a haunted house, it may not necessarily attract "Time Radio".
Because the personalities of time radios are different, some like to listen to horror stories, so you may encounter it when you go to a haunted house; some like to listen to classical music, so a piano room that has created famous music may attract it; some are interested in gossip, so you may encounter it on the streets.
This is what is called "something you can encounter but cannot seek for".
Everyone has a chance to encounter it, but if you really insist on looking for it, that may not be the case.
Angel: "From what you said, Time Radio is a fashion monster that likes to listen to stories?"
This is quite consistent with Starworm's current mission challenges.
Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, the Time Radio not only loves to listen to stories, but can even listen to stories from the 'past'. That's why it is prefixed with 'Time'..."
The Time Radio has an ability called "Echoes of the Past".
As long as the premise is set, you can hear the sounds of the "past" anywhere.
Let’s take the “haunted house” as an example. When the time radio uses the ability “Echoes of the Past” in the haunted house, you can hear the conversation when the murder happened.
Although you can only "listen" and not "see", it is still very valuable for reference in solving cases.
The ability "Echoes of the Past" can not only be used to solve cases, but also for "investigation".
The reason why Xiaolu's expression suddenly changed when he heard "Time Radio" was because of the ability of "Echoes of the Past"...
When they were in the City of Desire, Cecilia's family was living well. The reason why the "Dark Corner Witch Bloodline" was suddenly exposed was because someone said some secrets in a place where they shouldn't have said them. Then, it was intercepted by the Time Radio with the ability of "Echoes of the Past", and then it spread.
In a sense, the time radio was the fuse that led to the demise of Cecilia's family...
……
Until Xiaolu said goodbye and left, Ingres' thoughts were still on the "Time Radio".
He had previously thought that the three fashion monster puzzles given by the rumors were the most basic puzzles, coming from low-level monsters.
Because whether it was the graffiti boy puzzle obtained by Starworm when he completed the second rumor at the beginning, or the faceless monster puzzle obtained by Gleipnir when he completed the first rumor, they all belonged to low-level monsters.
This also caused Angel to misunderstand, thinking that the puzzle given by Rumor Three was also a puzzle of a low-level monster.
But now it seems that the level of the puzzle is not completely fixed.
The Time Radio is a puzzle piece of the mid-level monsters...
Moreover, although most of the abilities of this fashion monster are auxiliary abilities, they are also quite powerful.
Especially the ability "Echoes of the Past"!
Even though Angel is the master of the Dream Crystal, it is difficult for him to go back in time... because he has not yet mastered any time-related powers.
But now, with Echoes of the Past, you can go back to the past.
At this moment, Angel was somewhat moved.
I have to say that this energy system of Modern City is simply a treasure.
Gave Ingres a lot of surprises!
The ability of "landscape expert" gave Ingres some inspiration for his "alchemy of fantasy"; today's "echoes of the past" also allowed Ingres to see the prototype of the power of time.
Angel's eyes flickered. "It seems there are still many places that can be developed in this dungeon of Modern City..."
……
Angel is ready to leave the deep black market.
But before that, he still needs to find a way to carry these "sacrifices".
Angel glanced at the two large bags of oil paint and cloth on the ground, then looked at the bucket of wax next to it... There was no way to use the space bracelet in the copy.
It is a bit wasteful to use disposable space capsules.
He pondered for a moment and decided to use the most primitive method... He snapped his fingers lightly.
The magical hand composed of nightmare appeared behind him.
Two magic hands, one holding a bag and the other holding a bucket.
Then, Angel created an illusion node near the magic hand, making the magic hand and the objects invisible.
After doing all this, Ingres left the Desire Hotel in a swagger.
Walk along the tunnel towards the outside of the deep underground black market.
It took about ten minutes for Angel to return to the surface and successfully boarded the Silver Wing Express, preparing to go to District 9 North to meet up with Gleipnir at Prada Media.
As the Silver Wing Express sped along, Angel focused his attention on the text column.
"Random mission "Who is the rich family? I am the rich family!" Completed."
"Current startup capital: 1 million/1 million."
"Do you want to receive the reward?"
"whether"
Previously, after selling the clown-shaped puzzle and helping Carleen to open two special pages of the book, Angel had already collected one million.
However, he had been busy with trivial matters before and did not claim it immediately.
Now, while on the Silver Wing Express, Angel decided to collect the reward.
Select: "Yes".
The next second, Angel felt a faint light flash and penetrated into the magic book in the text column.
After looking around and making sure that there was no one around, Angel summoned the magic book and quickly turned to page 5. Previously, the fifth page was a gossip spirit, but after the clown was dismantled, the gossip spirit came to page 4, and now the fifth page has become... a designer cat.
Angel is very much looking forward to this designer cat.
Because according to Kalain, every monster in a famous brand series must have a rare ability, either hidden or special.
If designer cats also have special abilities, then he will have a second "follower pet" after Turing.
Thinking of this, Angel looked at the fifth page.
The top half of the page features an illustration of a designer cat, with the background of the illustration being a desk in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the neon lights of the city shrouded in the night, and the office desk in the foreground looks very high-end. At first glance, the background of this illustration looks like the president's office of a large conglomerate.
The protagonist of the illustration is a blue cat with green eyes wearing a bow tie and an elegant British gentleman's suit.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a "designer cat".
From the outside, it does look like a luxury brand...
Only one-third of the illustration is in color, and the rest is all black and white, which means that if you want to collect the designer cats, you need at least two more puzzle pieces.
Move your eyes down from the illustration.
The text information matched with the illustrations comes into view.
"Designer Cat: One of the fashion monsters in the manufacturing series, also known as the designer series monster, born to be the epitome of elegance."
「Current puzzle: 1/3」
"This designer cat's abilities: 1. Elegant Celebrity (Normal); 2. Unknown; 3. Unknown (Hidden)"
Information about designer cats has surfaced in front of Angel.
Leaving aside other information, the first thing Angel focused on was the third ability of the designer cat. Although it was still an unknown ability, it was marked with the note "hidden".
This means that Designer Cats contain at least one hidden ability.
Although Angel wanted "special abilities" more, because special abilities could unlock forms, but hidden abilities were also acceptable.
Most importantly, the hidden ability is marked on the third ability, which also implies that the designer cat has at least three abilities.
This is also a good thing.
Because not all fashion monsters have three abilities, the number of abilities is completely random.
For example, the "Fashion Tailor" that Angel possesses only has two abilities...
