Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Being Tricked (Thanks to Moonlight Luna for the reward)

With the intervention of [Great Wall], the crowd did not have any hostility towards [Bai Luohe]. However, they still kept some distance from her.

This was the advantage of having the [Great Wall] identity, they were essentially official personnel. In this situation, it had a calming effect on the people.

Otherwise, Li Changhe possessing a spiritual symbiosis would be isolated sooner or later.

People of different clans have different hearts, especially in such life-threatening situations, it becomes more apparent. Li Changhe thought of this as well, so he directly exposed Yun Ting’s existence, guessing that Bai Luohe had the same idea, so as not to trigger unnecessary misunderstandings.

Unfortunately, the effect wasn’t so good...

"You all should have made some preparations according to the hint of the [Chang’an Plague], right?" Moon God asked, "Does anyone have any information to share?"

Then he looked towards Li Changhe. He believed that the [Great Wall] should know more. In this kind of situation, where the plot has changed, they can only rely on the [Great Wall].

"Unfortunately, I’m just a fake one." Li Changhe sighed internally and shook his head slightly.

"Never mind." Moon God murmured, then smiled faintly. "A month ago, I obtained an item that can trigger the plot task. After a month of effort, I have used my [Player] abilities and gained a knowledge level comparable to a medical doctor. As long as this task does not go beyond the medical field, I should be able to handle it."

While saying this, Moon God even took out several documents, his voice filled with arrogance, "Thank me, I have investigated the records of plagues in the Tang Dynasty and throughout history. I have made targeted classifications and response procedures."

It was not surprising; there were many conveniences for [Players]. For example, learning a certain [Medical Skill] might lead to [Medical Skills B] or [Medical Skills A].

After receiving the documents, Li Changhe carefully checked them and handed them to the crowd when he was sure there were no tracking devices.

This made the other [Players] nod their heads slightly. Although [Players] help each other in [Tasks], taking items provided by other [Players] was still risky. Now that Li Changhe, a [Great Wall Player], had helped everyone check the items, they felt more at ease.

Moon God was not angry either. If the other parties were unprepared and just inspected the items, it would have been a headache for him. It seemed that [Uncle Eight-direction] was not a high-level player, but he was very careful in his work. With reliable teammates, the difficulty of the task would be greatly reduced.

Li Changhe glanced over the documents and found no problems. They were even more detailed than his own investigation. They had even put forward preventive measures for all the plagues that had appeared in history. It seemed that their boasting wasn’t baseless. If they really wanted to go in this direction, Li Changhe would just have to follow the methods outlined in the documents.

Unfortunately, the [Evolution Game] would not let [Players] pass the level easily, who knows what kind of tricks they had in store.

Just as they were studying the documents, a line of subtitles appeared in the room.

"Here comes the task plot." Everyone thought.

[Plot Task: Chang’an Plague]

[Player Number: 5]

[Task Introduction: A severe plague has broken out in Chang’an City of the Great Tang; players need to roleplay and overcome the difficulties]

Li Changhe nodded silently, which was consistent with his expectations, the Chang’an City of the Tang Dynasty. At least they were right in this regard.

As for the plague, it was a phenomenon in the ancient dynasties.

Especially in ancient Hua Country, due to the ineffective control of the Yellow River, plagues would break out whenever the river flooded. It was said that a great plague would follow a great disaster.

At that time, the medical level was also very difficult to control the plague. Was this task also such a case?

Then Li Changhe and the others were dumbfounded, not just him, but even Moon God, and even that black cat Fantasy Species were staring.

The [Task Details] was a scene. It should be the first-person perspective of a night watchman or patrolling military marquis.

In the dark ancient streets, a sudden scream was heard.

The perspective swung back and forth like it was trying to locate the source of the sound. Then, holding a torch, the watchman ran in one direction. Judging from the sounds he made while running, there was a high probability he was a military marquis.

In the dim light, one could see a Fang signpost with ’Longevity Square’ written on it.

Li Changhe vaguely remembered this was one of the Chang’an 108 Fang, which was not far from the West Market.

As the perspective’s owner entered Longevity Square, the nearby earth-built houses were also shrouded in darkness. Faint voices could be heard.

The perspective gradually went deeper into Longevity Square, but there seemed to be some movement in a dark corner.

But before Li Changhe and the others could take a closer look, the perspective shook suddenly, as if it had seen something terrifying.

With a loud roar, it rushed towards the Fang gate.

After a few seconds, it was knocked down to the ground. The horrifying and angry screams of the perspective’s owner were particularly harsh in the quiet Longevity Square, but still, no residents appeared.

Then, in the scene, the sound of ’da da da’ was heard, while pairs of red glowing eyes appeared in the darkness and quickly rushed towards the perspective.

The perspective’s owner desperately moved backward, and at this point, Li Changhe and the others saw the true face of those red dots.

Rats! Countless rats! Their eyes were emitting bloodthirsty red lights. And in the deeper part of the rat swarm, the red-eyed tall figures stared straight at the perspective’s owner.

For a moment, it seemed as if the [Players] felt they were staring at each other.

The scene came to an abrupt end, and only the sound of ’click, click’ could be faintly heard.

Li Changhe shuddered at the sound, even though he had already killed harpy monsters and murderers, he was still frightened by the sound. Because he knew what had happened.

The [Task Details] didn’t end there; the scene changed to text: "Fifteen residents of Longevity Square, three patrolling military marquis, and one watchman were killed. The remaining residents of Longevity Square survived but developed boils and black spots on their bodies, suspected of an incurable plague."

Khan Li Shimin was furious, dispatched a thousand cattle guards to seal off the Longevity Square and several nearby squares, demanded an investigation into the truth, and ordered the rescue of the victims to prevent the spread of the plague.

End...

[Task Reward]...

[Task Failure Penalty: Death]

At this point, everyone fell silent. Everyone thought the same thing: "Damn, we’ve been tricked!"

Li Changhe muttered, "I said, the [Evolution Game] always breaks our waist. Who agrees, who opposes?"

Without a response, Moon God silently tore the documents he had prepared into shreds.

It was useless now; based on the scene, this wasn’t a plague at all.

Instead...

"Screw the Chang’an Plague; I even thought of the man-eating rats in the plague legend. I didn’t expect that it wasn’t enough; this is obviously..." Li Changhe cursed. "The Warhammer Rat Plague!"

After Li Changhe finished this sentence, all the [Player’s] outfits changed.

They were assigned roles for the [Plot Task].

Li Changhe’s Great Wall Windbreaker turned into a Tang Dynasty Mountain Pattern Armor, and the fog on his face disappeared.

His role was the commander of the Thousand Cattle Guard sealing Yanhe Gate.

At this moment, Li Changhe didn’t care about his exposed face. He growled, "My role is the Yanhe Gate commander. When you enter, come find me!"

Before he could hear a response, there was a flash in front of him.

The plot had started!
