Help, I've become a paper man

Chapter 44: Give You Eternal Life

He still doesn't know what the most important thing, longevity, means.

Xuanyunduo asked: "What did you think of?"

Song Yi smiled and replied: "I can't think of that. It would be great if Yan Changyue was here... Let's just run over her!"

Xuanyunduo was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but when she saw him suddenly drop the shovel and lift his legs to go out, she also put down the shovel and followed him. The two of them walked in front and behind, one elegant and the other light. They came in a hurry and left decisively. They walked towards the village entrance with a clear goal. Song Yi's voice echoed in the air, and he said leisurely:

"Take the road leading into the village and then walking out of the village again. Maybe the clue is there."

Xuanyunduo answered "OK" with a normal expression, and then quickened his pace. The two of them moved faster and faster, moving away from the courtyard and getting closer to the village entrance. Song Yi looked around and didn't see the well, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked: "Did you notice that the priest is the tall and thin man at the entrance of the village?"

Xuanyunduo said: “I found it.”

At this time they slowed down, and Xuanyunduo noticed that Song Yi's expressionless face was even more confused.

She asked, "Didn't you see the copy introduction when you entered it?"

Song Yi slowly raised the corners of his lips in silence, clenched his fists, and cursed Noah's Ark in his heart. What kind of counterfeit and shoddy product is this? It is so obviously targeted, why hasn't it been taken off the shelves due to complaints? This is the disadvantage of allowing monopoly...

"The game mode is mainly determined by the player's various values."

The prompt sounded, interrupting his muttering, and Noah's Ark said the words of shirking responsibility. If he had heard it not long ago, Song Yi would still be sure that it was because of krypton gold. After listening to many popular sciences, he began to suspect that Yan Changyue was buffed by him. Compared with the "targeting" he thought he had experienced, in just a few days, he had seen the malice of the world towards Yan Changyue. It seemed that any stranger who didn't know Yan Changyue would subconsciously criticize her, even if he couldn't tell the specific reason.

He walked forward with his head down, feeling humiliated by Noah's Ark, and had nowhere to vent his anger. As he walked towards the village entrance, he continued to act responsibly, squatting from time to time, pretending to check the surroundings, and slowly moved towards the village entrance. They still stayed in the village, but when they actually left, Song Yi's inexplicably rough actions had already reminded them of the "temple". They were inexplicably "killed by the plot", and surviving it would always get some rewards.

Song Yi was not sure at first, but Xuanyunduo, the old player, was not in a hurry. Unlike the first time they met, she emphasized to him that time was running out, so he was not in a hurry and continued to think about the information he got while taking action. His rare silence made Xuanyunduo misunderstand. The girl's worried eyes fell on him frequently. There was a tacit understanding between them, but not much, so when Xuanyunduo patted his shoulder when he squatted down, he realized something was wrong.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Song Yi said frankly.

It's not just about thinking. His thoughts are too messy and some information may not be useful. The most important thing is...

Song Yi asked: "Boss, what clue did you get at the beginning?"

His voice was very soft, and he used the movement of the wooden frame to conceal the opening and closing of his lips.

Xuanyunduo then asked in a low voice: "The initial clues are all the same, you..."

Xuanyunduo didn't say the rest. She looked at Song Yi with even more confusion, as if she was about to ask "Who are you?" again in the next second.

Song Yi simply said: "I didn't get any clues."

Instead, Xuanyunduo was a little confused. She was silent for two seconds, then asked with a smile, "So, when everyone was confessing their ID cards, were you talking about your identity as Xingchen?"

After laughing, without waiting for Song Yi to answer, she said directly:

"This instance is called "Give You Longevity". The initial clue says that Changshou Village was originally called 'Changsheng Village'. It is rumored that immortals once lived there and left a legacy in the mountains and forests. Countless people have come here to look for immortals over the past thousand years. It is said that drinking the local spring water can prolong one's life, but now there are only a few records left. At the same time, due to the vast forest, people often disappear here. It is also a famous 'suicide sanctuary' nearby. Maybe this is related to longevity?"

"The ID card I got said that as a police officer, I received anonymous tips that there have been multiple murders here. The information mentioned multiple missing persons. For the safety of the public, I came to investigate the authenticity of the incident."

She stopped here and looked at Song Yi, waiting for his reaction. Song Yi subconsciously said, "You can't perform official duties alone... Normally."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and among the many speechless expressions, he revealed an innocent smile.

Two seconds later, Xuanyunduo said, "I trust your intuition."

"what?"

Now it was Song Yi's turn to be puzzled. Under his gaze, Xuanyunduo slowly said, "I suspect there are problems with our ID cards. Duan came back to the village for blackmail. Did I really come to the village alone just to investigate?"

Song Yi had no way to answer this. He was a man without identity. He could only blame Noah's Ark for starting the game at a random pace. Three people played the script and he was the only one who got the blind box and didn't know about the character card.

Fortunately, Xuanyunduo didn't expect anyone to answer her doubts. She whispered, "I have some information that I haven't told you before... When the character came here, he didn't bring a backpack. There was a letter in his pocket. The letter said, 'The time for atonement has come. I know everything about you.' On the back of the letter was a hand-drawn map with a check mark at the birth point, and the mailing address was blank."

Song Yi asked: "Why don't you say it?"

His words were full of trust. The person in front of him was just a little child. Even in terms of age, he could even be considered a "baby". But facing this face, he really didn't want to be too defensive. Using Duoduo's words "all people in the world are brothers" to describe it seemed like taking advantage of the other person.

Xuanyunduo whispered more quietly, "My skills can only reveal part of the information. I am not sure that everything I see is true. If the legend of longevity is false, the clue is in the missing people. I think the temple will have information about why they disappeared. There is no point in saying more."

As soon as the word "temple" was mentioned, the sound of drums followed, as if catching the key words, immediately announcing the end of peace time. They dropped the items in their hands, no longer disguised, and went straight to the temple. Xuanyunduo's face showed a bit of regret.

She uttered those two words.

But even if she didn't say anything, it wouldn't be a long time to explore. Song Yi suggested, "Let's talk about the rest while we walk and let's think about it together."

Xuanyunduo cooperated and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Song Yi replied: "I wonder whose body was in the temple, and whether the priest was that person, or what his relationship was with that person."

Xuanyunduo fell into deep thought for half a minute, and then she said, "He doesn't look like a monk. He chooses the greedy and rewards the traitors. He looks more like something else..."

She couldn't think of a keyword for a moment, and when Song Yi added "villain", she nodded in approval, but Song Yi corrected her:

"He may not be a monk, but we can't confirm who he is. From the clues we found, we can see that when it comes to survival, common secular views are not necessarily absolute. However, he gives me a strong sense of malice. He stirs up disputes, fuels desires, and uses 'evil' to drive the plot forward."

"Even if he is not a monk, he must be related to the body."
