All the NPCs I meet have become my binding pendant [Unlimited]

what is this sound?

Ruan Yu was a little frightened, and asked silently with his mouth.

Chu Xin sounded like she was hitting something with a heavy weapon.

What are you smashing so hard?You can't be a carpenter, can you?

"It doesn't sound like something very hard." Qin Yuan whispered to them.

For hard objects, the sound should be more crisp, but this sound is very low and depressing.

The people in the room muffled for a long time.

Slowly, maybe the strength of the person who smashed things finally couldn't keep up, and then the sound became smaller and smaller, and was gradually covered by the sound of rain outside.

Until the man inside stopped.

It's quiet now.

Qin Yuan sensed that something was wrong, and quickly signaled them to move their positions accordingly.

They quietly moved to the location behind the house.

Not long after, the door of the house opened.

Out came an old woman in a black robe.

Unlike old ladies like Mrs. Ning, although the skin on this woman's face has been wrinkled unbelievably, like the bark of thousands of years old, her body is straight, she walks with wind, and her gray hair is combed. It became a thick braid hanging behind him.

When she left, she was still dragging a huge long box.

Qin Yuan lowered his body and slowly moved back to take a look.

Then he turned around and said to Chu Xin and the others, "It's a witch."

"Witch?" Ruan Yu asked puzzled.

"Is it the old priest that the village chief said before?" Chu Xin thought back.

Qin Yuan gave him a "smart" look.

"How do you know?" Ruan Yu was still puzzled.

Qin Yuan: "There are strange patterns on her robe, which are the same as the pattern on the outer wall of her house. This kind of old village in the mountains has a different sound from the outside, and often makes such weird things."

"You are amazing..."

Hearing Ruan Yu's admiration, Qin Yuan replied indifferently: "Of course you have made too many dungeons, you will know the routine."

"How many dungeons have you been through?" Ruan Yu suddenly became interested.

In these few copies, she always met the boss.

The mysterious figures in those forums seem to be hiding by their side.

"I read on the forum that there is a very powerful and mysterious Ginkgo team, do you know?"

Qin Yuan's body froze slightly.

"I have." Chu Xin answered Ruan Yu's question, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Yuan.

He is watching.

Observe the other person's reaction.

But Qin Yuan quickly replied: "Of course I heard about it, but it's been a long time since I disappeared."

Chu Xin's heart sank.

Qin Yuan's reaction was very calm.

Isn't he the captain of the ginkgo team?

Ginkgo leaf brooch, ginkgo symbol... Chu Xin couldn't help but start to feel entangled.

Facing an NPC who has lost a large piece of memory, how to dig out and confirm his past?

"Ah, she walks so fast! Shall we follow?" Ruan Yu hurriedly said seeing the old woman walking further and further away.

Qin Yuan pointed to the room next to him: "I want to go in and have a look, what's inside."

The topic was thus diverted.

Chu Xin could only restrain his thoughts.

Qin Yuan listened carefully to the movements in the room, and after confirming that there was no one in the room, he then showed off the skill of breaking the door with his bare hands.

Fortunately, the locks of this kind of old house are not so delicate.

Regardless of admiration, the old priest would come back at some point, so they had to hurry in.

The beams of the old priest's house were very short, and the area was not comparable to that of the village chief's house. The moment he entered, he felt a sense of suffocation.

There are many worn-out earthen jars and some unfinished herbs on the table.

Contrary to the dilapidated furnishings, a large box was hidden under the table.

Qin Yuan went over to lift the box and shook it, he listened carefully to the movement inside.

There was a strange smell in the air, like medicinal herbs and some other unknown substance.

It took Chu Xin a long time to realize it: "Smell of burnt?"

Qin Yuan nodded his head slightly, and he could smell it too.

Did the priest burn something in the house just now?But listening to the sound of smashing something.

Qin Yuan was still studying the box, while Chu Xin went inside and began to search around.

The priest smashed so loudly that there must be tools, and there should be something that was smashed.

The sound is muffled, and the volume should not be too small.

Chu Xin looked around carefully and found a curtain like a tavern in the deepest part of the room.

Although the color of the fabric is not deep, it is enough to cover the things behind.

The curtains were dragged.

Chu Xin subconsciously lightened her steps.

He could smell that behind the curtain was the place with the strongest burning smell in the whole house.

With a sound of "shua", Chu Xin opened the curtain.

After seeing clearly what was behind the curtain, he couldn't help but gasped, his heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

It turned out that behind the curtain was something like a couch.

Lying on it was a scorched corpse that had been burned beyond recognition.

The entire body was scorched black from top to bottom, and there were several bandages wrapped around the arms with unknown liquid, and mysterious patterns were drawn on the couch underneath, which seemed to form a magic circle .

But the most creepy thing is not these, but the head of the scorched corpse——

It has been smashed.

Black dregs were scattered all over the couch, densely packed, making Chu Xin's scalp tingle.

Just as he was about to get close to the charred corpse, Qin Yuan who came from behind gave him a hand.

"I'll see."

Qin Yuan knelt down on one knee beside the bed, lowered his head, twisted the debris on it, and even smelled it.

Ruan Yu, who rushed over later, had just seen what was on the bed, and she was so scared that she almost jumped up on the spot.

Chu Xin hurriedly comforted her, fearing that she would attract the villagers.

Ruan Yu's face turned pale, she covered her mouth with her hands, and stammered, "Burn... burnt?"

Chu Xin didn't want to scare her, but what she said was indeed the truth.

On the other side, Qin Yuan, who was inspecting the charred corpse, suddenly got up and said, "The corpse has been treated specially, it should be a few years old, and it was smashed to pieces by a heavy weapon."

"... People are burned like this, and they are about to be smashed, how much hatred is this?" Chu Xin felt chills all over just thinking about it.

As if aware of Chu Xin's strangeness, Qin Yuan quietly held his hand.

Chu Xin shook her head, indicating that she was fine, he was not that fragile.

Then they dug out some weird blueprints in the house.

One of the drawings showed a chair.

There was only such a chair drawn on the yellowed paper, without any words left.

"There is a pattern on the back of the chair." Chu Xin pointed to it and said to Qin Yuan.

"Well, it's the pattern of the sorceress."

This should be the Busby's chair that the village chief mentioned.

"My God, what the hell is this—" Ruan Yu couldn't help but hugged his head and said.

She could already foresee that she would have nightmares tonight.

"Let's go back first." Chu Xin looked at the sky outside, it was already dark.

The three withdrew from the priest's house.

"Won't the priest find out that we've been here?" Ruan Yu asked in fear.

Qin Yuan pointed to the lock on the door: "No. This kind of broken lock is very easy to break. With the priest's status in the village, she shouldn't think that anyone would dare to break her door."

Ruan Yu felt relieved.

It's still raining outside.

The three trotted all the way back to the village chief's house.

When I went back, the dinner time at the village head's house was already past.

Seeing the clean table and Mrs. Ning sitting by the window clutching her belly, Chu Xin no longer had any hope for dinner.

Li Kui said with a mournful face: "I wanted to keep it for you, but—"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xin guessed who made the trouble and ate too much.

I don't know if Mrs. Ning is a little guilty, she pouted her mouth and signaled them to go to the kitchen to take another look: "There is still some food in the kitchen."

Chu Xin originally planned to go to the kitchen to take a look.

It's okay for him to skip a meal, but Ruan Yu is a girl and Qin Yuan is a "sick person", so he still wants them to eat better.

When we got to the kitchen, we saw what Granny Ning meant by "there is still some food".

Looking at the scattered vegetable leaves in the pot, even Chu Xin had the urge to go out and beat someone up.

"Hey, are you out of food?" Ruan Yu looked sad.

Chu Xin immediately said, "We will do it ourselves."

After speaking, he pointed to the shelf below, "There are still dishes."

"You go to say hello to the village chief or Luo Ya? After all, it's their food." Although Chu Xin also cooked in the last dungeon, the kitchen in the apartment was originally shared.

"They shouldn't care about it, it doesn't matter to them." Qin Yuan thought from the standpoint of the game and NPC.

In fact, as long as it is not related to the customs clearance conditions, the players' actions are very free.

But it was a matter of politeness to say something to them, and Qin Yuan was willing to listen to Chu Xin, so he nodded and went out.

Mrs. Ning hid behind the door and took a peek into the kitchen, probably feeling guilty, so she went back to her residence in embarrassment.

When Qin Yuan came out, only Li Kui was left outside.

"Are you cooking by yourself?" Li Kui looked bewildered.

"Yes, you should go back too, don't stick around here if you have nothing to do." Qin Yuan said coldly and went out.

Li Kui was even more at a loss now.

He felt that Qin Yuan was like a double-faced person.

One side is for Chu Xin to see, and the other side is for others to see.

Only Chu Xin and Ruan Yu were left in the kitchen.

Chu Xin was about to wash the vegetables.

"Give me some." Ruan Yu leaned over to share some food.

While washing the vegetables, Ruan Yu struggled secretly, finally being alone, she couldn't hold back her words.

For girls, gossip is really an instinct.

She felt that Qin Yuan was very kind to Chu Xin, and Chu Xin was also good to Qin Yuan, but according to what she observed in the previous copy, she always felt that Chu Xin had something to do with Jiang Chi before.

In and out together, reasoning together, tacit understanding.

Of course, this is just the perspective of her sneaky observation, because sometimes she encounters it in the corridor or in class.

The possibility of her looking at Renji with rotten eyes cannot be ruled out.

After all, she spent too little time with them, she just followed her instinctive guess.

After holding back for a long time, finally Chu Xin took the initiative and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Ruan Yu blushed, and finally took a deep breath and asked, "I think... Qin Yuan is a good person."

"..." Chu Xin didn't expect the other party to hold back such a sentence, "So?"

"Uh, Jiang Chi is also a good person."

Chu Xin had a black question mark on his face.

What does this have to do with Jiang Chi?

"You're a nice guy too."

Chu Xin smiled and said, "Why do you give the three of us a good card?"

Ruan Yu put down the dishes in his hand, and suddenly leaned over and said seriously: "Two boats will not lead to good results."
