This NPC really has a problem

What Xu Yan got in his hand was a handwritten travel note. The handwriting was a bit scribbled, but it was not difficult to read.He glanced at ten lines at a glance, glanced quickly, and turned to the next page if there was no important information.

After a while, he turned this travel note to the end.

A line of writing was skipped by him, but he turned it back immediately, and Xu Yan's eyes fell on that line of writing.

The City of Reflections.

Xu Yan stood up straight unconsciously—the attic was full of dust, and there was really no place to sit down.He started from that line and looked down seriously.

[I was wandering outside the walls of the City of Reflections, and I could hear laughter and laughter inside the city, but the city gates were closed, and I didn't see the guards guarding the city. After shouting several times under the city walls, a man appeared on top of the city walls.

"Do you want to come in?" she asked me.The girl's smile was bright and bright, but I felt a chill for no reason.

"There are very few outsiders in the City of Reflections," the girl said again, "If you want to come in, I can open the city gate."

I remembered another name of the City of Reflections - the City of the Dead.

Fear seized me, I rejected the girl, turned and left in a hurry.After walking a long distance, I looked back unconsciously, and saw the setting sun falling down the mountains, and there was a black shadow on the dark city wall, she was waving to me. 】

The first half of the travel notes are mostly in a relaxed and cheerful tone, like a good comedy suddenly turned into a horror movie, Xu Yan shivered when he saw the last sentence, if it wasn’t for the dust on his hands, he even wanted to rub Rub the goosebumps that pop up on your arms.

Steward Lu noticed something was wrong with him, raised his head from his notes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Steward Lu," Xu Yan asked, "Do you know the City of Reflections?"

Butler Lu nodded: "It's not very far from here."

Xu Yan was stunned.

"Going northwest from here, you can walk to the City of Reflections in about a day." Lu Guanjia said, "But the city gate has been sealed."

Xu Yan asked: "Why?"

"It's not very clear. Something has changed in the City of Reflections. The people inside are no longer coming out. If the people outside go in, they can't come back." Steward Lu said scary words in a calm voice, "It is said that the city The people inside are all dead, just maintaining the illusion of being alive."

Xu Yan was silent for a while, then asked, "Don't you think this city is strange?"

Butler Lu didn't think so: "This is known to everyone nearby. You must have come from far away."

Xu Yan thought that Steward Lu himself was a living dead, and the world view of NPCs in horror games really cannot be judged by normal people's thinking.

Steward Lu suddenly said, "I suspect that the key of Mrs. Tulun came from the City of Reflections."

Xu Yan's gaze just fell back on the travel notes and then moved away: "Why do you say that?"

"Do you still remember the prayer room you went to?" Lu Butler asked.

Xu Yan nodded. He spent two nights in a row in the prayer room, and he was the one most familiar with it among the players.

"The statue in the prayer room with the key in its hand is the statue of the good god believed by the residents of the City of Reflections." Lu Guanjia said, "They believe that there are two gods, good and evil, in the world, and the two gods are twins. The good god teaches people to be good, and the evil god lures people to do evil, until the good god locks the evil god in the shadow with a key, and evil disappears from the world."

Xu Yan complained: "How can there be good people in the world."

Steward Lu didn't answer, but nodded in agreement with Xu Yan's words.

The discussion on the City of Reflections came to an end. Xu Yan continued to read the travel notes. Steward Lu also closed the book and took out a piece of parchment he found in the gap at the foot of the bed.

Xu Yan found that the two gods were also mentioned in the travel notes.

[I walked all the way to the southwest, and after passing through a forest, I found a hotel in the wilderness where I could stay.The hotel is small but clean. After dinner, I went to the front desk and asked the owner about the city of reflections.

The boss was relieved to hear that I didn't enter the City of Reflections, and he told me that it was a place that could only be entered.People who have entered the City of Reflections will gradually become another person after they leave, and will return to the City of Reflections in a few days.

I asked the boss if he had seen one coming out of the city, and the boss shook his head. He said that some guests who stayed here said he had seen it.

I asked him again, what does it mean to gradually become another person.

My boss told me: "Good people get better and bad people get worse."

I was a little surprised, but the boss didn't seem surprised at all. He told me that the residents of the City of Reflections believe that there are good gods and evil gods in the world. On the black stone, the reflection of the good god is the evil god, and the evil god is locked there by the key in the hand of the good god.

A guest heard our conversation and said loudly: "I happen to have a statue here."

The guest took out a [-]-centimeter-high box from the package, and when he opened it, there was a statue of a god inside.

"It was given to me by a priest from a church outside the City of Reflections." The guest said, "Although I don't believe it, this statue is quite delicate."

I looked at the reflection of the god statue in the black stone, and suddenly thought that people and his reflection are exactly the same.

Both the god statue in the reflection and the god statue on the black stone have a key. How can the viewer know whether the god on the black stone is a good god or an evil god? Woolen cloth?

I think the boss is also aware of this, so he said that good people will be better, and bad people will be worse.

A key can lock evil, and it can also lock good. 】

Xu Yan, who didn't think so much when he saw the statue, felt that his mind was empty.

There was still the last half page of the travel note, and he couldn't help but read down.

【After the guest put away the statue, I continued to chat with the boss. The boss said that now everyone knows that the City of Reflections is a dead city, and no one will go there except outsiders.

I say that's a good thing too, after all no one knows whether people who have been there will be better or worse.

The boss didn't quite agree with my point of view: "It doesn't matter if it gets better or worse."

After he finished speaking, he raised the key with me.

"Although everyone no longer goes to the City of Reflections, the City of Reflections still brings some troubles to outsiders." The boss said, "It is said that six keys leaked from the City of Reflections, and the holders of the keys will be The City of Reflection is assimilated, and it will not be inspired by the City of Reflection. Those keys are given power by the gods, and if they fall into the wrong hands, it may cause disaster."

I thought of what I saw on the way: "It seems that people go missing in the snowy mountains in the northeast every winter."

"Some people say that there is a key in the snow mountain," the boss sighed, "I hope it's just a rumor."

It was getting late, and I was a little tired after walking all day. After saying goodbye to the boss, I returned to my room.

Unexpectedly, this is the last page. I will leave here tomorrow morning.Although I still have many questions about the City of Reflections, maybe I will never know the answers in this life. 】

This travel book is quite old, and there are many unknown stains on the pages.The dark travel notes are not visible on the surface, but they are very conspicuous when opened.

Xu Yan closed the notebook, looked up at Butler Lu who was opposite, and found that Butler Lu was still looking at the parchment with a strange look on his face.

"Steward Lu?" Xu Yan called him.

Butler Lu didn't respond.

It wasn't until Xu Yan yelled a second time that he raised his head in a daze.

Xu Yan asked: "Is there something wrong with this piece of paper?"

Steward Lu shook his head, folded the parchment and put it in his pocket: "It's nothing, it just answered some of my questions."

It just happened to let him know the way to get rid of it.

Butler Lu said in his heart.

Xu Yan was about to put the travel notes back when he saw a line of words appearing in front of him.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the item "Anonymous's Travel Notes" x 1 (recommended to carry)]

[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the assimilation value. The current assimilation value is 19%. After reaching 100%, failing to clear the copy of "City of Reflections" is considered a game failure]

A progress bar-like thing appears in the upper left corner.

Xu Yan's expression froze for a moment.

……

A line of words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Bai Zhu almost missed it.

He hurriedly supported the railing to stabilize his body, and found that the progress bar in the upper left corner appeared at the same time as the line of words.

"...Assimilation value?" Bai Zhu was a little confused.

Compared with Bai Zhu who almost fell down the stairs, this line of words almost missed the life of Zhong Changya who was dealing with Mrs. Tulun.

Zhong Changya, who squatted down suddenly to avoid the sharp knife, ignored what was written on the system message, and quickly crawled under the table. She didn't come out from the other side, and when she saw where Mrs. Tulun's feet were, she straightened up and pushed the table to the bottom. Throw it over there.

There was a loud bang, and Zhong Changya ran out of the restaurant without even looking at it.She and Bai Zhu ran separately from Butler Lu's room through the window, and it was an unfortunate coincidence that Mrs. Tulun just happened to chase her.

To a certain extent, this is to preserve the player's vitality as much as possible. After all, Bai Zhu is still in a state of bleeding, and Madam Tulun may catch up to him after a few steps.

After running out of the restaurant, Zhong Changya found a random direction. She doesn't dare to run to the room now. After all, it's not about hide and seek now, it's just a complete chase. Going around in circles with Mrs. Tulum like that, it is a little time to buy a little time.

Steward Lu told them to leave within three days. After all, it was less than three days before Steward Lu said those words. The boss was red-blooded, and the level of ferocity increased by a bit. Zhong Changya After being chased down, she ran a distance of one meter, and Mrs. Tulum could run three meters.

Zhong Changya saw a pillar and circled around with Mrs. Tulun. Zhong Changya suddenly remembered the allusion of "The King of Qin walked around the pillar".

Zhong Changya shouted: "Help me!!!"

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to add an update, but today's second update is not finished.

There can be more changes tomorrow, maybe this dungeon can be ended.

After the castle chapter is the hotel chapter.A cutie said that the clues of this dungeon are a bit messy, uh... the author Doxiaza!There are a lot of clues in the next dungeon, so I'll try to be as clear as possible.

But after writing here, the background of this book should be almost clear [scratching head], there is a little bit to add, and it will be written in the next chapter or the next chapter.
