Fifth Lin did not talk directly to the female ghost Sally throughout the whole process, and the communication with Yang Rui and Xiao Wenyuan only took place in the WeChat group on the external network. Naturally, the GM who monitored him could not discover the secrets—after all, game companies can’t mess around Except for Wu Lin, who poses a greater threat to gameplay, and some special groups of people, game companies have no power or manpower to monitor too much information.

Yang Rui went back to the city and went offline before ten o'clock as usual. Wu Wulin and Xiao Wenyuan continued to collect information about this mission by contacting the WeChat group on the external network throughout the process without forming a team.On Xiao Wenyuan's mission panel, one of the mainline developments of the "Silent Girl" mission "Uncover the Secret of Clark Village" is still there, but a new mainline has been changed again:

"Explore the past of Connor Village."

…Yes, at this point, the evolution of the task is still to explore the history of the village rather than to conquer some bad nobles. The class and social power in the game background is just like that.Both Xiao Wenyuan and Yang Rui, who are task makers, heard from the female ghost Sally that a certain nobleman had done something in Clark Village. In the evolution of the task process, they still hold the "curse" instead of dealing with man-made events. Attitude.

"I'll come with the official information, and you'll be in charge of the odd jobs." Wu Lin, who was walking on the road back to the city, said to Xiao Wenyuan in the WeChat group, "Talk to the villagers of Clark Village one by one, Try to find older people, if you can get useful information, if you can’t, go to the next door to Gaoshan Village to try your luck.”

"...I said fifth brother, why don't you just say that there is nothing to search for in Clark Village." Xiao Wenyuan felt a little resentful.

"Your mentality is wrong, Wen Yuan. I'm not a mission planner, how can I know where the planner will bury the Easter eggs? In case there are really people in the villagers who are not affected by the curse, it's uncertain." Wu Lin said that's what he said... The next moment he changed the subject, "A hundred years is three to four generations. Gaoshan Village and Clark Village are occasionally connected, and the old people in the village may even have memories related to Kangna Village. , remember to be careful and patient when you pass by."

Xiao Wenyuan really wanted to say that even the memories of the villagers in Clark Village have been tampered with by the power of the curse, and it would be a waste of time to ask... But he didn't seem to have the capital to bargain with Fifth Lin when he asked himself, so he simply closed his mouth.

It is more convenient for players with friendly prestige in the game town to interact with civilian NPCs. As long as you are not a thief, the coordination of civilian NPCs is fine.After wasting more than half an hour in Clark Village, Xiao Wenyuan turned to Gaoshan Village with nothing.Gaoshan Village is also a relatively closed small village, and most of the people left behind in the village are the elderly and children.After visiting several households, Xiao Wenyuan got quite...shocking clues.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother." He immediately informed Wu Lin of the clues he got in the WeChat group. Wu Lin was also shocked when he heard the information, and replied after a while, "Continue...in this way, you focus Send it to the village head of Gaoshan Village, if possible, ask him to tell you more 'folk rumors'."

When the game time came to twelve o'clock that night, Xiao Wenyuan and Wu Wulin who met back in Liangyin Town all looked dignified.

"Sally is still following you?" Fifth Lin asked.

"Behind my back, this NPC can choose to be visible or not." Xiao Wenyuan is also used to this setting. "She didn't respond to those clues. It is estimated that her memory is not complete in this regard, and she cannot be touched."

"It's fair to say that she was still young when she became the 'eye of the altar formation'. In this way, the information we have obtained now is relatively one-sided. To confirm this matter, we have to focus on the background investigation of her paternal family. On you If you have a task that you can’t check, then you can go to the trading house, search and compare the types and quantities of items sold by these life players who have been in Clark Village for a long time, and see if there is any difference with the life players in other places... Find a comparison Let’s make friends with active people, these people have stayed in Clark Village much longer than us, maybe there are some things they think are common sense but we don’t know at all, this information is more important to us.”

Xiao Wenyuan nodded again and again, he had never done the work of scrutinizing the information he needed from the known information, but what Fifth Lin ordered was not difficult.After confirming what they were going to do, the two split up and did not meet again until it was almost dawn in the real world.

"... There is an illusion that the whole body has been hollowed out." Xiao Wenyuan covered his chest, his face darkened, "This plot line really shouldn't be dug deep, the more you dig the bigger the hole, it feels like you won't be able to get out if you fall into it ...It's just a task, is it necessary to make it so heavy? The feeling of watching an African refugee documentary is comparable to this task."

"Calm down...at least the plot of this mission is not messed up. It is more realistic and considers the player's ability to accept it. There are countless religious sacrifices that are more exaggerated and influential than this in real history, and they are relatively inciting public grievances." , Burning a group of people openly to make the public carnival Miko Trial, this sneaky priest of the evil god is much more tender." Only Wu Lin could not calm down.

On the next Tuesday, Yang Rui returned to the normal online time and logged into the game at exactly six o'clock.Brother crucian carp, who was not online yesterday, also came up today. Yang Rui's eyes lit up when he saw him online. He made an appointment to find an empty place outside the town to exercise his muscles and bones. When it was almost seven o'clock, Fifth Lin and Xiao Wenyuan went online one after another before finding him.

"Log in to WeChat. Are you with cold crucian carp? Call him too."

Yang Rui and brother crucian carp opened the prestige on the computer together, Wu Wulin and Xiao Wenyuan were both in the group.

"We have almost checked the information before going offline." Fifth Lin said directly, "The worst situation did not happen... Although the territorial war a hundred years ago was fought at the door of Liangyin Town by the army of foreign nobles and lords, but with This is the only village like Kangna Village where the entire village was wiped out. That is to say, the only village that has been passively manipulated is Clark Village."

Yang Rui and Brother Crucian trotted to meet them, and asked, "What's the purpose? What's the motive of that unlucky aristocrat to engage in such a battle?"

"Let me tell you about this." Xiao Wenyuan said, "The head of Gaoshan Village next door is the old man we met, and he still remembers some rumors told by his grandfather... There was a wizard in the territory of Liangyin Town a hundred years ago The power of the wizarding society exists. Using human pillars, that is, living sacrifices to enshrine evil gods to obtain power is one of the characteristics of the wizarding society, and our task is also related to the cult of the wizarding society."

"...I said Wen Yuan, I feel even more confused when you say that, can you describe it more simply?"

"Just like Fifth Brother said, there is a certain degree of logic in the power rules in the game, and the same is true for the soul power that cannot be explained by science. For example, the civilian NPC in the game dies immediately, and the soul instantly dies. There are not so many dead souls and resentful spirits. To use human souls to perform sacrifices to evil gods, extraordinary measures must be taken... From the information obtained by me and Fifth Brother, Clark Village exists for this form of."

"Okay, okay, Wen Yuan...just tell Yang Liu the result." Fifth Lin couldn't stand it anymore.

"Uh... In short, the original [-] villagers in Kangna Village did not die, or they did not die in the enemy's chaos at that time, but Sally and her unscrupulous father took advantage of the chaos to manipulate , seal these villagers in the vertical coffin, and make human pillars according to the distribution route of the six-pointed star array map and bury them alive. Then, the daughter Sally, who has his family's blood, is made into an array eye, and the villagers of Kangna Village are used to make human pillars every ten years. The renewed girl's family is a sacrifice, enshrined to the evil gods to protect their family."

"Fuck!" Brother Crucian, who had been listening quietly, was startled, "Fuck, fuck! What is this? What are you talking about?!"

"A mission we received yesterday..." Yang Rui explained to Brother Crucian with a dark face, "Why is it so strange? How to solve this, or just go and beat that noble family out of SHI?"

This time I came to Fifth Lin to explain: "Sally's original name should be Sally Engner Lindbergh. According to official information, she was the second daughter of the Lindbergh family who died of illness in the war a hundred years ago. Her father was at that time It is the Baron of Bright Silver Town. The game time has been suspended 50 years ago. The current Baron Lindbergh is Sally’s grandnephew according to his seniority. Speaking of surnames, you may not have the impression of these foreigners’ surnames, but this NPC we are The one I met... is the defense commander of Liangyin Town."

Yang Rui was immediately speechless... No matter how lacking in game common sense, he also knew what a defense commander meant, that is, the head of the military forces of the NPCs in this town. It's the same level, "I have the impression, isn't it the annoying old man who came out during Ferdinand's mission? Meow... the co-author of the bullshit official NPC is not based on PY transactions, and has a cult background in it ?”

... From Yang Rui's indiscriminate words, it can be seen that he is holding back his anger.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me clear up my thoughts, don't mind if I'm wrong." Brother Crucian fish said with a twitch of his mouth, "It means that Xiao Yang, you have accepted a mission, and the big villain you have to deal with is our territory war That high-ranking NPC official I met back then... that high-ranking official is not only an aristocrat with real power, but also made some kind of anti-human sacrifice to fill in his own daughters?"

"The former Baron Lindbergh has died... Of course, the current Lindbergh family still enjoys the legacy of this curse, and it is our target to deal with." Fifth Lin said with a straight-faced attitude, "This task There are forks in the development of the plot. For example, if you don’t discover the hidden plot in it, or you only do it with the goal of task rewards, that is to discover the curse in Clark Village and see through the cursed real body of the female ghost Sally. It’s not painful. The lesson is over for Sally, who is the villain on the bright side. But now we have dug the plot of Yangliu and the others to a relatively deep level. If you want to complete it, you must confront the defense commander. Based on the player's As an adventurer or an outsider, it is quite a challenge to challenge the powerful aristocrats who are in the center of power, but it is not impossible."

"Let the fifth brother say this, I think this task should be done. If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if the problem is uneven, someone will take care of it, right?" Brother Crucian fish rubbed his chin, his eyes brightened, "Can I do this task together? Fighting high-ranking noble NPCs is much more interesting than fighting mobs."

"I'd like to ask Brother Crucian Fish to help, but the task can't be shared." Xiao Wenyuan smiled wryly and said that only priests can trigger their task.

Brother Crucian Fish didn't care about this, and waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't do this just for rewards, I will help out and don't conflict with your tasks."

Wu Wulin immediately felt that Yang Liu's friends were all good guys, and felt a sense of pride for no reason... Although he called Brother Crucian Fish into the WeChat group at the beginning just to help him coming.

While talking, Yang Rui and Brother Crucian entered the town, passed through the bustling player free market as always, passed through the third avenue, which was still a large construction site, and came to Cross Street.

Xiao Wenyuan and Wu Wulin have been standing at the intersection for quite a while, and it is the peak period for online players, and their appearance is more attractive——Xiao Wenyuan's appearance that only follows the route of mad bees, waves and butterflies Needless to say, although Wu Wulin is too thin and unhealthy in Yang Rui's eyes, and he is an 'anorexia patient' who is afraid of strong winds when going out, in fact, his slender body has a certain market in the aesthetic circle. The high-cold demeanor is also quite eye-catching; when Yang Rui and Brother Crucian Fish ran to them, they saw a circle of people around them, and the proportion of female players was quite high.

Yang Rui and Xiao Wenyuan formed a team with missions, Wu Wulin and Brother Crucian Fish formed a team with non-staff helpers, and the four greeted each other and walked towards the town hall. When they appeared in public, they kept their priestly attire. Yang Rui was curious: "You guys are so popular, you know a bunch of girls wherever you go?"

Xiao Wenyuan waved goodbye to the female players who found all kinds of excuses to come up with clichés, and deliberately made a smug look: "Yang Liu, although I don't have the same style as you, my type is still more popular."

When I went out to kill monsters with Xiao Wenyuan, passers-by female players often came to strike up a conversation. Yang Rui thought about it and felt quite happy: "Yes, yes, you are almost a living moth. You should also pay attention to being coquettish, don't If you really go to provoke other girls, don't drag down honest people like Lao Wu."

Xiao Wenyuan glanced at Fifth Lin, and felt wronged: "I said Yang Liu, didn't I know you before Fifth Brother? You are also partial to this."

"No, I seem to have said that, I met Lao Wu on the first day I entered the game."

"Hey, you don't deny that you are partial to this!!" Xiao Wenyuan shouted.

"What's 'also'... It's true that Lao Wu is much more reliable than you." Yang Rui knew that this guy was joking, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Isn't 'Fifth' a surname? Why do you all call it the fifth and the fifth?" Brother Crucian Fish was puzzled.

Wu Wulin was surprised: "Brother Crucian Fish even knows such a remote surname?"

"In the past, I had a friend whose surname was fifth. Did the fifth brother directly use his real name as the game ID?"

Wu Wulin smiled: "Yes, most people can't tell that this is my real name."

Yang Rui was stunned when he heard this: "So you, fifth, is your surname? Your name is Lin?"

"Yangliu, you just know." Xiao Wenyuan winked at him, "I knew it a long time ago, but it's weird to call Brother Lin, so I followed him to call Brother Fifth."

"Brother Lin..." Yang Rui couldn't help laughing, "Uh, it has the tone of a brain-dead idol drama, so the impression of Lao Wu has changed."

Fifth Lin felt a little depressed: "What's the matter with the word Lin, isn't it so motherly...Yang Liu, your Rui character is called Brother Cheng Rui, and it's about the same level as me."

"No one calls me that... Eh, how do you know?" Yang Rui realized later.

"Take a screenshot of your face, and you can find your game video with a graphic search." Wu Lin realized that something seemed to be exposed... quickly pretending to be calm, "I just see that your movements are more professional, and the result is indeed in line with me. It’s a pity that your match was just short of the threshold of the Muay Thai gold belt.”

Yang Rui was not at all confused about how frightening it would be to find out all his information with a screenshot of his face, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hey, it's far away... Anyway, I lost, and it's not as good as the champion of the official competition." fate."

Brother Crucian said carelessly: "Why are you competing with black people? If you are willing to play in China, you may not be able to get on the podium in official competitions."

"That's not to say, why don't you see that black people can't compete in table tennis? If there is a gap in technology, there is a gap. If you lose, you have to admit it." Just watch it, don’t show it to others, it’s too embarrassing to get out of the ring with a swollen nose and a swollen face, hahaha.”

"...You don't blame me for looking for your information without telling you, I should be thankful." Fifth Lin Haoxuan didn't say "I've blacked out all the source sites of your lost videos" and hurriedly ended it. A very innocent smile.

"By the way, Brother Crucian Fish, I've been meaning to ask for a long time, haven't all of you sports stars with good looks entered the showbiz after retiring? Haven't you considered it?" Xiao Wenyuan inadvertently opened up the topic and eased Fifth Lin's anxiety. Awkward.

"Haha... How can the bowl of rice in the entertainment industry be so delicious, and how long can the halo of the champion last? Why don't you do something that you are interested in. If you run around every day like my first junior brother, you don't want to talk about anything else. It’s not good if I can still have leisure to play games like this...” Brother Crucian fish is still very clear about himself, apart from anything else.

The four gentlemen chatted all the way, and arrived at the town hall after a few minutes.The nearby buildings were almost repaired, and the players who came to clear the repeated missions lined up at the gate of the compound just like before the territorial war.

Before going in, Wu Wulin first explained the action strategy to a few people outside the courtyard: "To deal with the nobles, you have to use the power of the nobles. Similarly, if you want to deal with the local NPC army high-level, you must first win over the rest of the NPC high-level. Quartermaster Mark Wells was our first target."

"How to win over? Players can't spend money, and secondly, they don't have the power to coerce and lure them. We can't do collusion and bribery among game NPC executives, so we can only get close first, and then wait for the opportunity." Fifth Lin looked at it. Next time, "It's 10:07 in the real time, and it's 30:[-] in the morning in the game time. We all know that [-] minutes in the real time compared to the game time is equal to an hour. Then it's [-]:[-], which is [-]:[-] in the morning. , the patrolling NPCs in the town hall compound will switch defenses, and there will be a gap of five to ten seconds in between for us to mix from the compound to the backyard behind the quartermaster's office."

"Brother Yangliu and crucian carp, you two look at my reminder. After I hit 1, you go in and squat under the window of the quartermaster's room. Wen Yuan and I create a little commotion in the front yard. When the yard is not calm, the quartermaster and his two The adjutant will come out of the room. At that time, you two are optimistic about the timing. After the two adjutants come out, you control the quartermaster and lock the door. Regardless of the players in the room, directly threaten the quartermaster: His child is in our hands, let him cooperate .”

Yang Rui was ignorant, while Brother Crucian was dull. When Wu Lin asked them to sneak into the backyard of the town hall that is not open to players, they vaguely felt that something was wrong. Wu Lin directly said that they should threaten military supplies Officer... This directly strengthened the two of them's game common sense.

"Wait a minute, Brother Fifth...I heard it right just now, didn't you say you want me and Xiao Yangwei to threaten the quartermaster?" Brother Crucian fish was inconceivable. Ten seconds ago, he thought that Fifth Lin was quite upright and compatible. He has only one taste, why did his style of painting change so much in the blink of an eye? !

"It can also be said to be deception. After all, we didn't really kidnap his family, but just used words to force him to talk to us." Fifth Lin said frankly, "Players who have been doing quartermaster missions for a long time know that the NPC in the room comes out If order is maintained, there will be at least ten minutes in which missions will not be issued. During this period of time, the quartermaster’s room door will not be opened, and no players will be suspicious. You two don’t need to have a psychological burden. Let the defense commander If it goes on, the next higher position is not him, but the magistrate, even if his personal prestige to you two is negative for a while, he will be promoted back in the future."

"Let's not talk about prestige... Fifth, are you sure we have to use this method to get close to the quartermaster?" Yang Rui's forehead was sweating.

Fifth Lin spread his hands: "If I had other choices, I wouldn't take such a slant, but the reality is that, except for the defense commander who doesn't show up in front of the players, the three important NPCs, the mayor, the security officer, and the quartermaster, are very dedicated. No matter the day or night of the game time, these three will stay on the front line and insist on interacting with the players. Unless it is a major task of some scene type, otherwise we will not be able to find a chance to have a private conversation with them... You two may think this is a bit too much? Think? Let’s face it, what we’re fighting for is just an opportunity for dialogue.”

"Uh...then we can queue up and ask for a conversation when we go in to pick up the mission..." Yang Rui still felt weird.

"When there is no mission, the player sends a conversation request that has nothing to do with the mission plot and the NPC's scope of authority, and the NPC ignores them. If you use this peaceful method to enter, you will have to coerce the quartermaster and his two adjutants together. , Said that the family members of the three of them are in our hands, which will increase the chance of failure of the threat." Fifth Lin frowned, "Otherwise...Wen Yuan, you sneak in with them, and you will come forward to coerce the quartermaster .”

"Okay." Xiao Wenyuan has more player qualities than the two of them, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this method.

Yang Rui and Brother Crucian Fish were a bit dumbfounded... In reality, they don't obey the law too much, but in the game they were banned by martial arts.

Wu Wulin explained them both kindly: "I want to open it up. I came up with the idea, and I suggested the coercion. I am the mastermind behind the scenes. You two are just knives in my hand..."
