This NPC really has a problem

Chen Jin stood there stiffly.

For a moment, he seemed to have lost the ability to breathe, and he didn't even dare to move his eyes.

Until a violent cough sounded in the depths of the dungeon, accompanied by a hoarse broken sentence: "... who is it?"

Chen Jin took a deep breath.

This kind of voice... the person inside should be a living person, right?

Chen Jin looked down at the two corpses on the ground, and then looked into the depths of the dungeon vigilantly, but there was no light inside, and he only saw darkness.

Only a small part of the dungeon provided light, Chen Jin looked around, and then pulled the candle closest to him from the lampstand on the wall.

Holding a candle, Chen Jin cautiously walked deep into the dungeon.

The area of ​​the dungeon was bigger than Chen Jin imagined.

The road in front of him was not a flat road leading to the end. After walking for a while, Chen Jin saw a downward staircase in front of him. Chen Jin hesitated for a while and continued to walk down.

After going down the stairs, he found that there were no cells separated by iron bars around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

It seems that the dungeon behind the stairs only holds one person.

Thinking of this, Chen Jin came to the end.

There was no terrifying picture in front of Chen Jin's imagination.

He saw the owner of the voice he heard before—a pale and tired woman in decent clothes, her limbs bound by chains, standing against the wall at the end.From Chen Jin's point of view, her situation can be regarded as embarrassing, but her standing posture is still elegant.

The woman's gray-blue eyes stared at him: "Who are you?"

……

Small building roof.

When the sound of footsteps disappeared, the fire on the clock tower was completely extinguished.

If the girl looked back at this time, she would find that Lu Ren had no expression on his face.He lowered his eyes slightly, and whenever he lowered his eyes, he was always thinking about something.

Combined with the girl's words before, it can be inferred that what she said is always half true and half false.Lu Ren didn't believe the girl's rhetoric that "by modifying all the magic circles, reincarnation can be ended", but he believed that magic circles did exist.

Otherwise, the bell ringer wouldn't have destroyed the giant clock for no reason.

The thing on the bell tower must have been done by the bell ringer, and he is currently the only person who can make such a move.

The girl obviously didn't want to destroy the giant bell carrying the magic circle, and the priest whose purpose largely overlapped with hers must have been the same. The bishop and others would not hope that the City of Reflection, which had been reincarnated for a hundred years, would change. Only the bell ringer, he knew The truth of the City of Reflections does not associate with girls or bishops.

So why destroy the giant clock?

The bell ringer said before that to end reincarnation one by one should be solved, but he didn't have time to tell them how to do it. Now he should be telling them how to do it with practical actions.

The bell ringer hadn't done this before, so it can be seen that the giant clock can't be destroyed casually.

The biggest difference between the bell ringer tonight and before is that he has an extra key.

"Lu Ren," Bai Zhu called Lu Ren at this time, and he waved the paper in his hand at Lu Ren, "Could the red circle on the map be the location of the magic circle?"

"Should." Lu Ren walked to him and knelt down on one knee, stretched out his finger and brushed the red circle on the map, his eyes were serious and focused, "Because the city guard came to search for people earlier, the bell ringer failed to find out the relevant magic circle. I finished my message, so I hurriedly handed this piece of paper to us."

When the information was incomplete, he thought that all he needed to crack the formation were keys and locks, but now it seems that more than these two are needed.

Maybe it was the two, but his guess about the lock was off from the beginning.

"I now suspect that a key corresponds to more than a lock." Lu Ren said.

Bai Zhu turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"There may be two locks, one false and one real. The false one may refer to the human soul, while the real one is on an indestructible or imperceptible object, such as the magic circle inside the giant clock. .”

Except for the bell ringer, almost no one will climb the bell tower on weekdays.Even if someone went up, how many people could notice the magic circle engraved on the inner wall of the huge black clock?

Lu Ren continued: "The key and the two locks are indispensable to crack the eye of the array."

……

"Are you looking for a 'lock'?" The woman looked at Chen Jin gently, and her voice was as gentle as water.

Chen Jin nodded halfway in a daze, then suddenly shivered.

He looked at the woman as if he had seen a ghost.

This woman who claims to be the head maid of the City Lord's Mansion seems to have a kind of magical power that can be trusted, as outrageous as the most clichéd old fritters Chen Jin has ever seen at home.When Chen Jin didn't realize it, he had already told the player's purpose.

But it's terrible, if they are expelled in vain, they will laugh at them to death if they don't get scolded to death.

"Relax, I'm not your enemy."

The head maid comforted him softly: "I know where the lock is."

"Where is it?" Chen Jin looked at her suspiciously, not quite believing it.

"It's right here." The head maid pointed to her heart.

The author has something to say: Sorry, I have to dove tomorrow.

There are exams in the next two days.I have a lot of subjects to take the exam, and I can have a few days free after the exam the day after tomorrow, and then I will continue to take the exam until mid-January.

Ah, it's been delayed until 21 years [cover your face]
