I'm sorry I'm an npc [online game]

Xiao Ran asked: "How do you know that the mirror is an illusion?"

Yiye Feihua tapped his fingers on the mirror surface, and there were bursts of crisp sounds. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The first round of reminders is unknown, the second round of reminders is about the order of time, the third round of reminders is about the plot, and the fourth round of reminders is Companions, have you found out that basically every round of reminders has different content, so I don’t believe that the content of the fifth round of reminders is also a companion, so I took the risk.”

Ye Mingming: "So you're not sure! Please, what if you break this mirror!"

Yiyefei gave her a blank look, "Instead of worrying about that, let's see what the real hint is."

"That's right." Ye Mingming turned around, looked at the scarlet character on the mirror, and read word by word: "Sometimes the mirror is in the mirror, the water is in the water, and the mirror is in the mirror. What does that mean?"

【The flowers in the mirror, the water in the water and the moon end sometimes, and the mirror in Xuzhong is in the mirror at the end of the mirror】

Xiao Ran pondered for a while, then walked forward and pointed at the scarlet characters one by one and speculated: "First of all, in the first sentence, the mirror flower water moon originally refers to a flexible and unpredictable artistic conception, and later it is a metaphor for illusory scenes. Broadly speaking, it can also be said to be Refers to the illusion, and the Buyue City we are in now is composed of two illusion worlds: the outer world and the inner world, so it also corresponds to the "outside the mirror" and "in the mirror" in the latter sentence. The former alludes to the outer world, The latter alludes to the other world."

One Night Flying Flower then said: "Then the first sentence 'Mirror Flower, Water, Moon Ends Sometimes' indicates that this sentence reminds of time, and it is the time when the illusion ends, that is, the time when the gates of the inner world and the outer world are closed."

萧然继续道：“没错，再者戌时在古代中常表示的时间段是19：00-21：00，‘戌中’说的是20：00，‘戌末’则指的是21：00，所以这句话的大致意思就差不多能猜出来了。”

Ye Mingming suddenly realized: "I see, this sentence is actually to tell us that the gate of the outer world will be closed at eight o'clock in the evening, and we will not be able to return after entering the inner world this time; while the gate of the inner world is closed at nine o'clock in the evening." Click to close, my brother can find a way to get in before then."

"That's what you said, but it's very strange." Xiao Ran frowned.

"What's so strange?" Ye Mingming asked puzzled.

萧然道：“按照我们原本推算出来的里世界大门开启的时间应该是32-16-8-4-2-1这样间隔时间减半的规律，这样一来，最后两次里世界大门开启的时间就是晚上七点和晚上八点，怎么会是晚上八点和晚上九点呢？为什么都推迟了一个小时？这样不就打破规律了吗？”

Ye Mingming said: "That's right! The previous rules were all correct, why didn't the last two rounds follow the rules?"

The three of them fell into silence for a while. At this time, the opening time that they originally thought was seven o'clock had passed, and they still stayed here to take care of themselves, which showed that the previous rules were indeed wrong.

In the end, the experienced Yiye Feihua saw the clue.

“并不是不按照规律，而是没有按照32-16-8-4-2-1这样的规律，”一夜飞花对着萧然说道，“你算算32-16-8-4-3-1，是不是就对了？”

被他这么一说，萧然的脑袋顶上立刻冒出一个小灯泡，“如果是32-16-8-4-3-1的话最后两次里世界开启的确是在晚上八点和晚上九点！”

Ye Mingming also figured it out, and she said excitedly, "No wonder, it turns out that the last item is not twice the previous item, but the nth item is the sum of all the previous items! The system is really good at playing tricks." Ah hello...wait! But what's the point of doing this? Such a design has not caused any hindrance to our current situation, and it was sent for an extra hour, how can the system be so kind?"

Her question stopped the other two people from asking.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in Xiao Ran's mind:

"Maybe... the law of halving the interval time is not wrong, but it is not the law of the opening of the inner world, but... the data is cleared."

"Check your package quickly!" Yiye Feihua's eyes sharpened, obviously he was also aware of the system's trap.

Xiao Ran trembled immediately, he quickly opened the package and took a look, his whole face was gray.

"Really... have the data been cleared..." Ye Mingming murmured with a pale face.

It's unimaginable, if they didn't notice the system's trap, if they thought they had collected all the props, if they waited idly in the shrine until eight o'clock...the consequences would be disastrous!

"It's okay, even if you really don't find it, it's the same if you miss it once, and it's the same when we go in at nine o'clock." Xiao Ran comforted her.

"No, that's not the case. In fact, there is one thing I didn't say," Ye Mingming said with a sad face, feeling that he was almost being played by the system. "After the rematch, the host told me in the backcourt that if the final If we can't show decent martial arts, we will be kicked out of the venue in the name of 'disrespecting martial arts'. At that time, I was still thinking, if there is no one, then there is no one, and the big deal is that we will not be able to enter the other world. Anyway, there is one last chance... ...Now it seems that the system seems to have given a reminder at that time: even if we don't have props in this round, we will be forced to be brought into the inner world, but we will definitely be kicked out of the venue, leading to the failure of the plot..."

"You are so important..." Xiao Ran gasped, but now is not the time to blame each other, he calmly said to Ye Mingming: "It doesn't matter, there is still time, let's make sure to get two skill books first, If you don’t get kicked out of the venue, let’s just pass the finals, and we’ll try our best to get the wine glasses and the keys to the shrine for the banquet, and if we can’t get them, we can only play by ear.”

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Xiao Ran patted her on the shoulder, "What's the matter, we are partners, besides, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to discover the system's traps, so promise me to cheer up right now, we still have a long story ahead I'm leaving!"

It's really not Ye Mingming's fault, who would have imagined that the system would design such a difficult series for the players near the end.

If the first illusion is not found, then the players who entered the set will be torn apart because of this separation plan. Even at 19:[-], they checked the package because they felt strange that they had not entered the inner world, and found that the data was cleared... Everyone Who cares about this trap when everyone is busy tearing it apart;

If you discover the first illusion and crack the prompt, you will relax your vigilance because you knew that 19:[-] is not the opening time, and you will not check the package.

When 20 o'clock comes, no matter what the situation is, there will be a gameover. Even if they find out like Xiao Ran and the others, they may not have enough time to collect so many props.

"Brother Ma..." Ye Mingming wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with emotion, clenched his fists and said, "That's right! The more the system plays like this, the more we have to show it! And I promise you never Will hang you in this broken map! Let's go now! What are you waiting for!"

Ye Mingming's cheering ability is gratifying. In the following time, the three of them raced against time to collect props. Although the time was tight, fortunately, the coordinates of all the props have been known, and it is not difficult to collect the two skills. With the efforts of Ye Mingming and Yiye Feihua, the books and the wine glasses for the banquet were successfully obtained.

It's a pity that, as the key to the shrine, which is the most difficult to collect among all props, it still missed Xiao Ran's arm in the end.

When 20 o'clock came, Xiao Ran and Ye Mingming, carrying four props, were teleported to the inner world.

The last round of drama.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was already a grand martial arts competition in front of him.

The audience below was loud and enthusiastic.

Also, since it was the final, of course it was the most watched.

Xiao Ran and Ye Mingming had been sitting in their old positions on the spectator stand for a long time, and the number of players on both sides had been greatly reduced, only a dozen or so people remained, and the atmosphere among everyone was naturally tense.

bang bang.

Two gongs and drums sounded, representing the start of the final.

The form of the final competition is a big fight, that is, all the remaining players enter the ring, and they are divided into two camps, Zhulong and Pangu, to compete with each other until all the players from one camp fall down, and the game ends.

Ye Mingming made great complaints about this competition system: "If there are several champions, how will the fruit of the underworld be divided? Is the system just joking!"

Xiao Ran said expressionlessly: "The system is not joking, look around, only the two of us are in the Candle Dragon camp, and the rest are guys who support Pangu."

"..." Ye Mingming was speechless.

After the gong sounded to start the match, all the contestants screamed and attacked the two.

As the only players from the Candle Dragon faction in the arena, although Xiao Ran and Ye Mingming have become the target of public criticism, but fortunately, the skills of the Sky Dragon Scorching Flame Knife and the Desolate Ecstasy Sword, which were acquired with great difficulty, are quite powerful, allowing them to compete in the competition. Won the championship without any danger.

"I declare that the winner belongs to the Candle Dragon camp—" the host shouted angrily with an excited expression on his face.

"Xiao Xiaolong and Ye Dazhuang!"

There was deafening cheers from below, and Goya in the crowd was so happy that he almost fainted.

Xiao Xiaolong nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, while Ye Dazhuang waved his hands expressionlessly with deep resentment towards the name.

"Congratulations, both of you," said a guy in golden armor who looked like a general and clasped his fists at them as he stepped down from the viewing platform, "My lord, I heard that the two heroes won this martial arts competition. Congratulations!" Feeling overwhelmed, I sent me here to invite the two of you to a banquet specially prepared for you by the city lord, and I also invited the two heroes to honor you."

Ye Mingming muttered in a low voice, "Of course I have to reward myself, otherwise how can I get the fruit of the underworld..."

Unexpectedly, the general's hearing is good, "Huh?"

"I mean, I'll trouble you then hehehe."

Xiao Ran: "..."

So they, led by General Jin Jia, entered the City Lord's Mansion accompanied by cheers all the way.

The City Lord's Mansion two years ago is completely different from the City Lord's Mansion in the watch world. The clean and almost spotless ground, the guards patrolling everywhere, the vibrant gardens, and the row upon row of palaces and pavilions...all show the financial resources and... …financial resources.

They followed General Jinjia and walked into the main hall that they had visited before. While enjoying the gorgeous and rich banquet, they also met the legendary city lord.

"Wow, this guy is a giant." Ye Mingming exclaimed softly.

Xiao Ran was also taken aback. He saw a rather burly middle-aged man sitting on the front seat in the main hall. His body was so strong that the golden chair the size of a dragon chair could hardly fit his body, but It's not that he's fat, but his muscles and his visually estimated height of nearly two meters have caused this situation.

However, not only his figure surprised Xiao Ran, but his clothes also caught people's attention.

As mentioned earlier, because of the special humanistic style of Buyue City, the two sides of the moat seem to be two separated worlds. Clothing from the Western Regions is the main theme; the city lord's mansion inside the moat is built exactly like an ancient palace. Although the costumes of the palace officials and ministers inside also have exotic elements, there are also many traditional elements on their bodies, so at a glance, it looks like this magnificent palace. The group is not particularly inconsistent.

The city lord is different. He is wearing a unique mink fur cloak that would only be worn by nobles from the Western Regions. Under the cloak is an exotic leather armor. There are two machetes hanging on a gem-studded belt. The attire seemed very inconsistent under such a traditional palace.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but look at the city lord more. He remembered that he had said on the mini moon mirror on the gate of Buyue City that the rating of npcs entering Buyue City would be corrected to be lower than that of the city lord.

However, Xiao Ran's rating has not changed, indicating that this city lord is at least a god-level or above npc.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran swallowed involuntarily.
