This NPC really has a problem

It takes a lot more time for many people to eat together than for one person. When Lu Ren took Bai Zhu and the others to his residence in this instance, the moon was already in full swing.

There was a full moon in the sky, and after they were far away from the lights, it still shed light to illuminate the way for them.

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu walked ahead holding hands, and Zhong Changya and the others followed behind, chatting and laughing as they walked.

Occasionally, a few jokes drifted into Lu Ren's ears with the wind, but Lu Ren didn't quite understand them. They were obviously not a few years older than them, and there was already a generation gap.

Emotions are such a strange thing.

Speaking of which, he and Bai Zhu are also very different people, with different identities, different majors, different family backgrounds, and there is almost no overlap in their lives before they met in the game, but they feel that they are the most suitable people.

"I don't have enough places to live there." Lu Ren said to Bai Zhu, "What about your friends?"

Bai Zhu blinked his eyes: "Isn't it okay to even lay on the floor?"

Although he doesn't really want to be disturbed in the world of the two, but it's not easy to throw his companions to sleep with everyone.

Lu Ren said: "If you go in again, you will be choked up."

The small bed alone occupies 1.2 meters above his living space.

After hearing Lu Ren talk about the situation of his current residence, Bai Zhu was also a little dazed: "Then why don't you... find a hotel?"

Lu Ren said: "There is no hotel here."

The City of Reflections has always been a city that does not allow outsiders to stay overnight. Even before the city was closed, businessmen who came to the City of Reflections to do business could only stay in the city during the day, and set up camp on the spot when they left the city at night, or go to nearby villages Small town lodging.

"This dungeon is a bit strange." Bai Zhu said, "In the previous dungeons, no matter what, they would arrange accommodation for us."

Lu Ren also felt that which link seemed wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

Bai Zhu called the three people who were following behind him, and after telling them the situation, they didn't know what to do for a while.

Xu Yan asked rigorously: "Will the system directly judge us to freeze to death if we sleep outside in this weather?"

He asked Lu Ren: "Will I be frozen to death in the game?"

Lu Ren replied: "If it's cold enough to kill you in reality, you'll die in the game too."

"Does this dungeon require us to find someone to stay overnight?" Zhong Changya made a guess.

Chen Jin nodded in agreement, but Lu Ren brought up a point that was easily overlooked: "Everyone in the City of Reflections has their own residence, and the only people who don't have their own residence are outsiders, and outsiders are not allowed to stay in the city at night. .”

Zhong Changya: "...Not to mention the night, how will the City of Reflections treat outsiders?"

Lu Ren shook his head. He didn't know any information about this, but one thing is certain: "In the previous dungeon, someone mentioned that people who come out of the City of Reflections will have a big change in temperament. They must be in the city. Whatever happens, it won’t be a good thing.”

"Even if you want to sleep outside, this road may not work." Lu Ren said, "There will be city guards patrolling the whole city at night. If they see you outside, they will still be able to find out that you are outsiders."

Xu Yan concluded: "That means we have to find a place to live and pretend that we are from the city."

In the absence of complete information, Lu Ren couldn't give them more suggestions. He asked, "What are the conditions for you to clear the last dungeon?"

This most critical piece of information is only known to the player, and Lu Ren only knows that the condition for clearing the level is no longer finding the key.

Bai Zhudao: "After entering the dungeon, we received a sentence—'You find that you are getting wrong day by day. From the mouth of the priest, you know that you are being assimilated by a special key from the City of Reflections, the only one that stops assimilation. The condition is to find the six locks corresponding to the keys. Those six locks are hidden in the City of Reflections, and seeing the day of complete assimilation approaching step by step, you finally decided to go to the City of Reflections."

On the other hand, Zhong Changya added: "Maybe because the last dungeon was cleared too quickly and the process was not normal, so the plot of the priest did not trigger."

And they entered the last dungeon normally, and it seems that the plot is not particularly important at present.

"Six locks?" Lu Ren was stunned, "Any more hints?"

The players shook their heads in unison.

Without prompting, where can I find those six locks in the huge City of Reflections?

Lu Ren asked unwillingly: "Is there no hint at all? At least there is always a talk about what kind of lock it is?"

Bai Zhu's expression was complicated: "I really didn't say anything at all."

"Let me think about it again." Lu Ren frowned unconsciously, "It's impossible for players to search for it."

Without a direction, it is absolutely impossible to find six corresponding locks in the whole city.

Standing in the cold wind and thinking, Lu Ren didn't feel that Bai Zhu was afraid that his legs would be sore, so he dragged him to the side of the stone bench and sat down.When Lu Ren was concentrating on things, he didn't feel much about the outside world, so he followed Bai Zhu away.

Several other people also began to think about this question that they hadn't considered after entering the dungeon.

If they hadn't been so unlucky and just missed some important plot, then the clue of the lock must be hidden in the copy they have experienced.

No, and not necessarily just a copy.

In the cold environment, Lu Ren's thinking became clearer, and he quickly grasped something.

Lu Ren thought about the lock for a long time, trying to find the trace of the lock in the previous dungeon, and even went astray and recalled the memory of the pitiful priest for a while.But he suddenly realized that the biggest clue related to the lock had been given to them long ago.

That is the key corresponding to the lock.

They don't know what kind of lock the so-called lock is, but the real key is already in their hands.

"I need to see the keys," Lu Ren said to the players, "I need all six."

The keys were not scattered, but placed in Bai Zhuna, and Bai Zhu took the six keys out of the inventory after hearing the words.

The moonlight was bright enough that Lu Ren could clearly see the appearance of each key without the help of lights.

He originally thought that he was familiar with the keys necessary for customs clearance, and even had the keys with him twice, but after receiving the keys, he realized that he had never really observed them carefully.

Lu Ren compared them one by one, and after about ten minutes, Lu Ren said, "These six keys are all the same."

Bai Zhu missed the point of this sentence: "So?"

"These six keys are exactly the same, which means that there is no difference in the locks they can open." Lu Ren said, "There are many locks, but do we need so many keys? One key can open all of them." Lock."

Chen Jin scratched his head and guessed: "Could it be that the key cannot be pulled out after it is inserted? That's why each lock needs a key."

Lu Ren nodded: "It's possible, but my guess is another one."

"I still tend to think that these six keys are different, but we can't see their differences," Lu Ren said, "The key is not the key in the common concept, and the lock will not be the lock in the common concept."

"In the previous copy, it actually gave us a hint."

At this moment, Lu Ren also realized that it might not be the best choice for him to take the key directly in the last dungeon. There may be many reminders about the lock in the last dungeon, but the "Key" cannot be reset and has already been cleared. A copy of the hint that has been missed is missed.

But it is impossible for the official to put all the hints in the last regular dungeon. The previous dungeons also have hints, but they are much more cryptic.

"The key has appeared many times in the dungeon plot. The good god has a key that locks the evil god. Every citizen of the city of reflection has a key given by the god. There are six keys that flow out of the city outside the city. If you don't think about it, it seems that there is no difference between these keys, but the functions of the six keys we got are different from those owned by the city residents."

"The keys obtained by the city residents can lock good and evil, and the six keys that flow out can also be used, but there has never been a plot that said that the keys of the city residents have special powers other than locking keys, nor have they said The key can be assimilated."

"The word assimilation in the game means to assimilate normal people into people who are as good and evil as the citizens of the City of Reflections. This assimilation does not require that person to have a key, as long as he has been in contact with it."

Lu Ren looked down at the six keys stacked in his hand: "My guess is that these six keys currently have owners."

Lu Ren spoke so fast that the players hadn't reacted yet.

He was silent for a while, and changed to a more direct statement: "The lock mentioned in the reminder is not a real lock, but a person. These six keys are special, and the person they lock is also special."

Bai Zhu digested Lu Ren's words, and asked, "Didn't the key we got in the last dungeon belong to the priest? The priest came out of the City of Reflections. According to this statement, he is also one of the owners of the special key." One, that is, one of the locks, but in the last dungeon, he has...already..."

Bai Zhu suddenly got stuck while talking.

He originally wanted to say that the priest was dead, after all the previous bosses were like this, so he subconsciously thought that the priest was also dead.But he suddenly realized that he didn't know the ending of the priest in the last dungeon.

Bai Zhu looked at Lu Ren. Lu Ren knew what he wanted to ask, shook his head and said, "I don't know the ending of the priest in the last dungeon. Not long after you left, I also left that dungeon."

He paused, and added: "But the priest should not be dead...at least he was still alive when I left."

The players looked at each other.

Zhong Changya asked: "Does this mean that we may see the boss from the previous dungeon in this dungeon?"

Lu Ren nodded: "It's possible."

"Then guess in this direction," Xu Yandao, they couldn't think of any more possibilities for a while, "the six locks correspond to six people, the keys are special, and the corresponding six people are also special. Find special people in the city every day, and then try to pass them one by one with the key?"

Lu Ren then nodded.

"There is a lock that should belong to the priest, so how do the other five people find it?" Xu Yan asked.

When Lu Ren was thinking about who is special in the City of Reflections, Bai Zhu said hesitantly: "I have a method that seems to be able to identify a person..."

Everyone looked at him in unison.

"The outsiders who have entered the City of Reflections have changed their temperaments without exception. To put it simply, they have all been assimilated." Bai Zhu said, "It's not that outsiders didn't enter the City of Reflections from the very beginning. It didn’t flow from the City of Reflections from the very beginning. Can you think of it this way, when the special key is still in the City of Reflection, all outsiders have come into contact with the person who has the special key?”

Bai Zhu said: "That person probably doesn't have a key now, but if we reveal ourselves as outsiders, is it possible to get in touch with him?"

The author has something to say: I haven't finished writing the list.

hhh it's all over.
