This NPC really has a problem

"The citizens of the City of Reflections 'live' based on the magic circle. When a part of the magic circle is destroyed, some people will die because of it." The head maid looked down at the position of her heart, "They are bound to Come and check the situation in the dungeon, you can take this opportunity to leave."

Chen Jin nodded and asked, "Then if all the locks are destroyed, the magic circle will be invalid?"

The head maid slightly shook her head: "The key is still there."

"Only when the keys are all destroyed, the reincarnation of the City of Reflections will truly end."

Chen Jin immediately thought of the keys they had collected in the previous six dungeons.

But those keys are all there now.

The props that I thought were useless before suddenly came in handy. Chen Jin couldn't connect all the information for a while, so he asked, "Is it okay to destroy the key at any time and anywhere?"

The head maid still shook her head: "The lock can be repaired, and it will only be useful if the key is destroyed before the lock is repaired."

"How soon will it be fixed?"

"one day."

The answer given by the head maid was far better than Chen Jin expected.

Chen Jin's mind was in a mess, wondering if he should tell the head maid that they had the key.

What he is most concerned about now is whether the head maid is a good person or not. He is not at ease with himself, for fear that he will be fooled just like that.

However, before he could come up with an answer, he saw the head maid inserting five fingers into his left chest.

The slender and soft fingers inserted into the flesh and blood with a force that Chen Jin could not imagine.The head maid looked calm, as if she was doing something very ordinary, rather than forcefully digging out her heart.

Chen Jin's tongue seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "You..."

He didn't dare to watch this bloody scene, but his neck seemed to be rusted, so he couldn't even turn his head.

That heart was even beating.

A cube-shaped object was taken out together with the heart, and the palms holding them were so hard that the veins on the back of the hand popped up, crushing the small cube at the same time as the heart was crushed.

……

Lu Ren still woke up quite early, although it was a normal time for him to wake up, but for a contemporary college student like Bai Zhu who was used to going to bed late and getting up late, it was already considered early.

Bai Zhu originally wanted to stay in bed habitually, but he still struggled to get up when there was an empty space beside him.

Lu Ren saw that his eyes could not be opened when he washed, and said, "If you are sleepy, you can take a rest."

"It's okay." Bai Zhu wiped his face with cold water. He seemed to be more awake, but he was still hanging on Lu Ren when he left.

When Lu Ren opened the door, another door on this floor opened from the inside.

Facing the face in front of him that was exactly the same as his, the priest smiled and nodded to him without showing any abnormality: "Morning."

After receiving Lu Ren's response, the priest took the lead and walked downstairs gracefully.

Just looking at his appearance, it is almost impossible to imagine what kind of crazy soul is inside.

Lu Ren thought that today would be very busy and many unexpected things would happen, but he didn't expect the girl to give him a shock early in the morning.

When he saw Chen Jin following the girl into the house, Lu Ren's first reaction was indeed surprise.

Bai Zhu rubbed his eyes and suspected that he was not awake. Xu Yan, who was arranging the tableware, chopsticks, knives and forks for breakfast, dropped a fork on the ground with a shake of his hand.

Xu Yan's voice was full of disbelief: "Are you coming out?"

He looked at Chen Jin's half-wet clothes, and a guess came to mind.

Chen Jin was quite proud: "I escaped by jumping into the lake."

The girl smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I went for a walk by the lake again today."

This NPC is probably with a passive that 100% picks up players.

After Chen Jin followed Xu Yan to change his clothes, at the dining table, Chen Jin shared his bitterness with his companions while eating.

Although he successfully escaped from the City Lord's Mansion, his escape route was not smooth.As the head maid said, after she committed suicide, someone would definitely come to the dungeon to check on the situation. Chen Jin hid behind the door and slipped out of the iron gate before the city guard who came to check had walked a certain distance.

Along the way, he saw many corpses lying on the ground. I'm afraid this is what the head maid said. After the lock was destroyed, some city residents who survived based on the magic circle would die immediately.

Thinking about it this way, the city guard who escorted him fell down halfway should be the same reason.

It's just that I don't know which lock was destroyed before the headmaid.Chen Jin didn't have time to think about it, because he couldn't find a chance to escape from the city lord's mansion.The death of the head maid did cause the city lord's mansion to fall into chaos for a short time, but the chaotic situation was quickly stabilized by the city lord, and the patrolling city guard was formed again after a while.When the city lord found out that Chen Jin had escaped, more people patrolled.

Chen Jin hid for almost a night in the crevices formed by several boulders in the garden. If he hadn't been shielded from most of his pain sensations, the pain in his back and back would have cost him half his life.

Fortunately, this place is hidden enough, and the patrol team did not find him after several rounds of searching.

When Chen Jin was carefully peeping out, he noticed the mirror lake not far away under the moonlight, and he wanted to escape from the lake, but he never found a chance.He didn't take the opportunity to jump into the lake until the patrol team changed shift in the early morning.

After that, his experience was almost exactly the same as that of Xu Yan. Chen Jin, who found a place to go ashore based on his feeling, happened to be picked up by a girl who was walking.

After Chen Jin finished talking, he thought the thrilling escape history was not enough, and wanted to tell the information he got from the head maid.

After Chen Jin had just finished speaking, Bai Zhu glanced at the girl and the priest who were listening seriously, and stomped on him under the table unbearably.

Chen Jin groaned, and spilled half a glass of milk.

"What's wrong?" The girl stood up.

"I..." Sweat broke out on Chen Jin's forehead nervously, he bowed in pain, and after meeting Bai Zhu's warning gaze, he covered his stomach, "I... I seem to have suffered an internal injury."

Chen Jin patted his forehead: "My head hurts too... Is there something wrong with my brain too, am I going to lose my memory?"

Lu Ren: "..."

Bai Zhu: "..."

Xu Yan: "..."

We don't know if you will lose your memory, but you do seem to have a problem with your mind.

I don't know how much the NPC can trust this exaggerated acting skills. Lu Ren doesn't know if it's because of his psychological factors. He feels that the smiling priest's smile is a little bit more forced.

The girl seemed to believe it, and said with concern: "Then hurry up and take a rest."

As soon as Chen Jin turned his head, he met the girl's concerned gaze.

He didn't eat breakfast, he seemed to be struggling to get up: "I'll go to Xu Yan's room to rest."

Xu Yan also stood up: "Let me help you."

There was a bang of the door closing next to my ear, and Xu Yan must have followed to clarify to Chen Jin what he could say and what he couldn't say.

At this time, they had actually eaten seven to eighty eight for breakfast.The plate in front of Bai Zhu didn't know when it was empty, and there was only half a glass of milk left for Lu Ren to drink.

Xu Yan was listening very attentively before, there was still a lot left on the dinner plate, but he is not in the living room now.

Lu Ren thought it was time to talk to the girl about "modifying" the magic circle, but the priest suddenly said, "Can I talk to you alone for a while?"

He stared at Lu Ren, obviously talking to him.Lu Ren was a little surprised, but replied without hesitation: "Yes."

He was curious what the priest would tell him.

The priest nodded lightly: "Let's go upstairs and talk."

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked to the stairs. Lu Ren drank the remaining half glass of milk and followed in a few steps.Bai Zhu obviously wanted to follow, but he was stopped by the girl before he could leave his seat.

"Oh, everyone will leave soon." The girl smiled with eyebrows crooked, "Since this is the case, you can remember the matter of the magic circle."

During the moment of Bai Zhu's hesitation, the sound of closing the door upstairs sounded.

He frowned: "Go ahead."

……

The bedroom is indeed much more spacious than the utility room.

The curtains were drawn when they entered the room. This room has a window that occupies two-thirds of the wall. The location on the second floor is not very low, and there are no tall buildings around. The sunlight can easily pour in through the window. in the room.

It's far brighter here than in the living room.

But before Lu Ren got used to the bright hall in front of him, the priest walked a few steps to the window, and stretched out his hand to close the curtain.

Leave no gaps.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Sorry." The priest apologized, "I don't like sunlight very much."

"It's okay." Lu Ren didn't mind either.

After going through the last dungeon, he knew the priest quite well. He knew that this personality was the opposite of the main personality in almost every aspect. Father Lu Ren's main personality liked to bask in the sun, but this personality hated the sun.

"Please sit down." The priest said and sat down at the table first, "you don't have to stand all the time."

He poured two cups of tea, kept one in front of him, and pushed the other across.

Lu Ren did not refuse.

The posture of the priest seems to want to have a friendly and gentle conversation with him.

Lu Ren wanted to wait for the priest to speak first, but after sitting for a while the priest did not speak, so he could only ask directly: "What do you want to tell me?"

The priest did not answer directly, but stared fixedly at Lu Ren.

For a moment, he said with emotion: "It really seems."

Lu Ren was taken aback.

The priest stretched out his hand, stroked Lu Ren's face lightly, and described Lu Ren's facial features with his fingertips.

This action made Lu Ren feel a little uncomfortable, but he wanted to find out what the priest wanted to do, so he held back and did not move.

There was still a slight smile on the priest's lips.

But his eyes were cold.

Those eyes were perhaps the most different between him and Lu Ren.Just by looking into Lu Ren's eyes, you can tell that this is a gentle person, but if you stare into the priest's eyes for a long time, you will find that his gaze is scrutinizing.

And a hint of malice that is extremely difficult to detect.

The priest sighed softly: "It's really hard not to think about a person who looks exactly like me at this moment."

Lu Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously distanced himself from the priest.

He felt something was wrong, this NPC seemed a little smart.

The priest smiled slightly: "Although I don't know who you are, fortunately, I know that the dead are absolutely safe."
