Chapter 140 140. No, we failed

This candle is yellowish in color and seems to have been used for a period of time. You can see the burnt wick.

[A special candle, its production process is very complicated, at least it cannot be made in this world. In addition, it is best not to try to light it unless you really want to die! 】

In the field of vision, bright red words emerged from the candle wick, like illusory flames.

Qiao Mu took a photo in the common drawer and found no lighter.

It was normal. Smoking was prohibited in the editorial office. Neither Su Hong nor Qiao Mu had the habit of smoking, so it was naturally impossible to find a lighter so easily.

Qiao Mu went downstairs, bought a lighter from the convenience store outside, and tried to light the candle on the spot.

Isn't it just a candle? Can it be lit to summon the Dark Master?

But he soon discovered that no matter how much the lighter's flame touched the candle wick, it could not be ignited.

Unlike the previous [Dating Handbook], this candle did not pour the relevant usage methods into Qiao Mu's mind when it was touched.

"strange."

Although it seems that Qiao Mu was deceived.

But when he thought about it, this thing could be said to be weirder than other products, and he made a lot of money.

win!

Qiao Mu returned to the editorial office with the candle and exchanged it for [Wild Survival Can].

Although this thing seems mysterious, Qiao Mu, who has been to the school city, knows that this can is made of those gray bugs at best, so there is no problem in eating it.

Five cans appeared in front of him.

After taking a look, it turned out that there was no production date or shelf life, and it didn't even include the taste.

Qiao Mu put it in his bag and stuffed it with survival tools such as a flashlight and a pickaxe.

Although I don’t know if these things will come in handy in Nausicaa of the Wind.

Originally, Qiao Mu wanted to buy that [revolver destined to ring] for self-defense, but when he thought that this was a foreign land, a small pistol was probably useless. It would be better for Qiao Mu to summon a coffin incinerator or something to hit people. Comes practical.

After getting ready, Qiao Mu felt it was time to hit the road.

It’s time to get into the mission.

The mottled cracks on the wall constitute the system’s depressing and crazy writing.

[Whether to enter the game]

【whether】

Qiao Mu stretched out his hand, trying to grasp the illusory lines in it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through. The wind was strong enough to topple trees and capsize ships, but the room was quiet, as if everything was just Qiao Mu's hallucination.

What followed was the smell of earth, the pain of raindrops hitting his face, the roar of thunder, and the low whimpering of some giant beast from the sky that Qiao Mu had never heard before.

[Out of the thunderstorm: 0/1]

[Defeat the enemy: 0/1]

[Let the storm dissipate: 0/1]

[Task begins]

[Players please close your eyes]

So Qiao Mu closed her eyes.

He heard the songs of giant beasts that seemed to originate from eternity, echoing in the ravines of his brain. He heard the sudden sound of wind blowing leaves, the crisp sound of raindrops falling on rocks, and he heard certain prayers. The sound echoed off the wooden walls, giving it a certain decaying color.

At this time, Qiao Mu suddenly remembered that after choosing the mission this time, he did not hear the murmurs from the Valley of the Wind.

However, time no longer waited for him.

Boom——

A thunderous explosion made Qiao Mu open her eyes.

He saw the storm gathering.

Above the sky, dark clouds rotated and gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Among them, deep purple lightning and thunder were intertwined. Big raindrops hit his face, causing waves of pain. The wind blew His clothes were making noise, and it was extremely difficult to just maintain a standing posture, as if he would be blown away and fall into the endless abyss the next moment.

"Do you want to die?"

Qiao Mu's hand was suddenly grabbed, and he was pulled into a door. Then, the person who pulled him spent a lot of effort to close the wooden door and lock the latch.

The room was dark, with no windows, and the sound of the storm outside was transmitted through the wooden walls, which was heart-stopping.

Qiao Mu discovered that the light in the room was a stone, and its light was as cold as the moon.

Illuminating the situation in the house.

Only then did he notice that this was a space similar to a cabin.

Besides Qiao Mu himself, there were two other people.

One of them is the person who just pulled him back. He is a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a lean build. He is obviously a person who often works in the sun and rain.

The other man was slightly older, in his thirties, with an unkempt beard and deep eyebrows. He was wearing a white coarse cloth shirt and held two gray-white stone balls in his hands, which seemed to be able to control the movement of the ship.

"Don't panic, this is already the edge of the storm, and we will be able to leave soon."

The man who controlled the ship said something, and then rubbed his hands on the stone. With his movements, the angle of the cabin changed, and there was a jolt, as if the impact was going to completely collapse one after another.

Qiao Mu and the young man could only hold on to the poles in the cabin to maintain balance.

Thunder, strong winds, and showers were accompanied by a low roar that spread from afar. I don’t know how long it took, but the tremor that enveloped the entire cabin reached its peak. Suddenly, it was like a sage’s time suddenly coming. , the whole space became quiet.

"Out."

said the man controlling the ship.

Qiao Mu saw the young man unlock the door and push open the oiled wooden door, letting in a ray of sunlight.

After following the other party out, Qiao Mu saw a sea of ​​clouds.

There is no land, and the ship is flying above the clouds.

The streamlined hull has no traditional sails, rudders, or propellers. The whole thing is like a fallen raindrop. The bow is slender and the stern is slightly larger. There is no debris on the deck. The baptism of the storm has left it full of water stains. Reflecting the sun.

Ahead, there was an endless sea of ​​clouds. Those scenes that could only be seen by plane in Qiao Mu's world were right at his feet.

Boom——

A thunder exploded again, but it seemed extremely distant.

Qiao Mu turned around and saw that dark and deep storm clouds were rotating behind the ship. The end of the clouds could not be seen at a glance. Under them, there were endless torrential rains and lightning winding like giant dragons.

"We succeeded?"

Qiao Mu subconsciously asked, is this task so simple? He successfully passed through the thunderstorm and completed the task as soon as he came?

"No, we failed."

The captain's voice came from behind Qiao Mu. His face was solemn, and there was a lingering sadness in his brows.

"This is just one of the storms gathering and dispersing in this empty sea. The thunderstorm we really have to travel through is hundreds or thousands of times larger than this storm."

He pointed forward.

Qiao Mu looked far into the distance, and he saw that on the "horizon", that is, at the junction of the clouds and the sky, there was a black belt.

"That is the storm that has trapped Hongdao for hundreds of years. We call it the Curtain of the World."
