Demon Gatekeeper [Unlimited]

Yu Lian told the three people a story: "This used to be a very poor village. Everyone worked hard every year, but they could barely fill their stomachs. One year, the town was plagued by insects, and most of the food was eaten by insects. , There was a famine. Many people starved to death that year. A man who was crazy about starvation slipped into the cemetery in the middle of the night, trying to dig a dirt pit for himself, and lie in it to die, but when digging the pit, he unexpectedly He found a piece of crystal-clear white jade from the pit. He was so happy that he thought it was a gift from God, so he sold this piece of jade to a rich merchant in the town for a lot of food."

"Later, the story spread, and many people followed suit. Of course, there were also voices of opposition. The ancestral graves of the whole town were buried here. They came to dig up their own ancestral graves with shovels. The gravekeepers were in a hurry. Dissuaded in every way, but these people have long been hungry and crazy, how can they listen to half a word? They even think that this is the blessing of their ancestors, and they are happy to start digging the ground."

"In the beginning, they only turned over the open space where no corpses had been buried. After finding that there was no white jade in the open space, they turned their attention to the cemetery. They dug up the first grave, which was a new one. The corpse had not completely rotted. But the bones that turned into white jade have emerged from the half-rotted corpse. Now everyone understands what the so-called white jade is all about."

"People in the town also discovered that the reason why bones turned into jade was because of the appearance of a kind of grass. They named this grass Qiongzhi grass."

"By this time, everyone was ready to give up, but the mayor and the civilians in the town said that living people are the most important thing. The ancestors knew that we were starving to death, and would understand us. His words convinced many people , In order to survive, they decided to dig up the graves of their ancestors."

"Besides, the mayor also thought that if the bones of the dead can be turned into jade, the stones of the living can also be used. He arrested all those who opposed the mining of Qiongzhi jade and forcibly fed the soup made from Qiongzhi grass. All the people who ate Qiongzhicao died miserably the next day. And their bones, as the mayor expected, turned into crystal clear white jade."

"My parents were among them. Originally, they planned to kill the weeds, but later they found that one of my grandfather and I was blind and paralyzed, and the other was a lunatic, so they let us go."

"After killing all those who opposed it, they began to dig jade in a grand manner. They didn't dare to dig by themselves, so they bought slaves from other places as jade pickers and let them dig. Their bones have also turned into jade, and they comfort themselves that they are avenging their ancestors."

"Relying on Qiongzhi jade, the town is getting richer and richer. And I have been pretending to be crazy for ten years, waiting for an opportunity. I want to bury this town completely, together with their crimes."

"So you really did the strange things outside the town?" Dugu asked, "Then what about your grandfather?"

Yu Lian's eyes darkened, and then he said firmly, "Grandpa will understand me."

The doctor took a step forward: "I can understand that you took revenge on the people in the town, but Caiyu is also innocent. We didn't know anything before, so why should we die here together because of your revenge?"

"You opened up the cemetery of your ancestors with your own hands and disturbed their peace? Innocent? Heh, if you hadn't been hired to Wuyou Town, you would have starved to death and froze to death somewhere. It is a shame that you can live until now. How can you talk about innocence without Qiongzhiyu's light?" Yu Lian's eyes showed a trace of madness: "Besides, only if you die here, the crimes in Wuyou Town will not be known to outsiders, so you have to Blame the person who sold you here."

While talking, Yu Lian approached Dugu.Just when he was about to rush to Dugu in one breath, a stone hit the lunatic from behind on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.Yu Yuan came out from the side and looked down at the lunatic who fell on the ground: "Brother is too careless."

Dugu laughed and didn't explain, he had actually noticed the lunatic's small movements long ago, but because he wanted to know what method the other party used to make people faint, so he originally planned to wait for the lunatic to get closer before withdrawing.

Several people surrounded Yu Lian, but because they didn't know what the fainting thing was, they didn't dare to get too close.

"He shouldn't be a demon, right?" Dugu looked down at Yu Lian on the ground: "If the story he just told is true."

"He's not a demon." Yu Yuan said suddenly.

"Are you sure?" Dugu looked up in surprise, not understanding why Yu Yuan was so sure.

"Well, the last demon is the manager of the grain depot. I found out when I was looking for information just now." Yu Yuan said half-truthfully.

Dugu nodded reassuringly: "Then it's ruled out that skills caused others to faint."

The doctor thought for a while: "If it's not a skill, there are only a few ways to make people unconscious in reality, either to make people unconscious like passer-by B, or to use medicine. This guy's physique can only be medicine. Medicine can be taken orally, Either inject or breathe. Judging from the speed at which Pao Ding passed out last night, I tend to be the last one."

"That's why he has that medicine on him now." Dugu's eyes lit up: "Let's look for it."

"Use this." Nian Xiuzhu once again gave birth to a bamboo pole, cut it into three sections and distributed it to Dugu and Yu Yuan: "If he puts poison on his body, he will be attacked as long as he gets close. You are planning to stack up with him here ?"

The corner of Dugu's mouth twitched, and the image of several people fainting at the same time and forming a pile on top of the madman couldn't help appearing in his mind.Yu Lian's worry was not unreasonable, and he was careful to make the Wannian ship.

"Where's mine?" The doctor stared at Nian Xiuzhu empty-handed: "They can't get close, are they planning to make me a guinea pig?"

Nian Xiuzhu squinted at the doctor, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Do you know what a body search is? It's just stripping clothes. If you insist on participating, I won't stop you."

Only then did the doctor understand that Nian Xiuzhu felt that a woman would be embarrassed by her, so he immediately laughed: "You are really interesting, aren't you a man? I am a surgeon, and I have never seen it before. Besides As an NPC, he is no different from a mouse in my eyes. Not to mention taking off his clothes, he just took a knife to dissect him, and I didn't even bat an eye."

"..." This statement really shocked Nian Xiuzhu.

Dugu first used a bamboo pole to lift Yu Lian's palm away, but there was only some dust in his hand.

Using a bamboo pole is far less flexible than fingers, and the four of them struggled for a long time, sweating, before they picked up Yu Lian's clothes.During the period, Yu Lian woke up once, and was knocked out mercilessly by Yu Yuan again.

The hard work paid off, and they really found a paper bag containing yellow unknown powder from the madman.

The four of them packed the paper bags into a bag separately, put the madman in a sack, packed them together, and prepared to take them back to their residence.

Before leaving, Dugu went back to the lunatic's house, lied to the old man, said that the lunatic had to leave in a hurry, and then took a bag of seeds from the flower stand and a few scrolls of bamboo slips on the desk.

"Please help me to find out what is the composition of this thing." Back at the residence, Dugu found the female player who could analyze the composition, and handed her the bag containing the powder and the flower seeds in her hand.

He gave the bamboo slips to Yu Yuan again, and Nian Xiuzhu divided them with the doctor: "Let's see if there are any useful clues in it."

Other players who were idle in the house also gathered over when they heard that the arsonist had been caught.Dugu then handed them the bamboo slips and helped them look through them.

The female player reached out to open the bag, but Dugu stopped her again: "The medicine powder inside may make people unconscious."

"It's okay. When I use my ability, I'm immune to all poisons." The female player calmly opened the bag, took out the powder, and squeezed a little powder on her fingertips.

Dugu and the others looked at each other and fell silent at the same time. If they had known to bring her there, they wouldn't have to bother so much.

"This is the dried petals of Qiongzhi flower and ground into powder." The female player wrapped the yellow medicine powder, washed her hands and picked up the packet of seeds: "This is the flower seed of Qiongzhi flower."

"Qingzhi flower?" Dugu was startled, isn't it honeysuckle?How did it become Qiongzhi flower?So what does it have to do with Chickweed?Why didn't this kind of flower appear in the cemetery, only Qiongzhi grass?

"What's the effect?" the doctor asked.

"I don't know, my ability can only initially analyze the names of the ingredients." The female player shook her head.

"Find someone to try?" The doctor looked at the powder eagerly.

"No, just ask him himself." Dugu said to the female player, "Please check if he still has that kind of pollen hidden on his body."

The female player squatted down and checked: "There is a small amount of residue in the palm, between the fingers, and in the nails. There are also some stains on the sleeves and the hem of the clothes."

"It seems to be it." Dugu nodded.At that time, the lunatic probably grabbed a little powder and was about to attack him. When Yu Yuan knocked him unconscious, it clearly scattered on the ground, and they ignored it.

"I don't understand why this pollen can make us unconscious, but he is fine with it? He is also invulnerable to all poisons?" The doctor folded his arms and looked at the lunatic lying on the ground: "Or he took the antidote in advance. "

"It's because he has never been in contact with Qiongzhiyu." Dugu replied: "Do you still remember the rumor about the strange thing? Everyone who has been in contact with Qiongzhiyu will faint inexplicably after leaving the town. The reason for the fainting should be It was he who planted this kind of flower outside. The honeysuckle blooms all the year round, and as long as it rains, flowers will bloom all over the mountains and plains the next day."

"You mean the strange things outside the town, but it's actually the lunatic who planted this kind of honeysuckle outside... Qiongzhihua?" the doctor asked in surprise.

Dugu hasn't answered yet, but the prompt has confirmed it for him.

[Main task 2, crack the truth of the town's strange events (completed)]

[Activate the final mission and escape from Worry-free Town. 】

"But I still don't understand, if this is the case, wouldn't the flower seeds be brought into the town by the wind? Why didn't Qiongzhi flowers appear in the town?"

"Then I have to ask myself." Dugu suddenly remembered that he had met a lunatic a few times before, he squatted mysteriously by the roadside, covered in mud, maybe it was related to this.

Dugu asked the female player to help tie up the lunatic, and some poured a basin of water on the lunatic's face to wake him up.

Yu Lian coughed twice from being choked by the water, opened his eyes in a daze, and soon focused on Dugu: "Are you plotting against me?"

"Aren't you also planning to plot against me?" Dugu asked back.

"I didn't." Yu Lian denied it.

"Then tell me what the Qiongzhihua powder is used for?" Dugu pointed to the paper bag on the table.

Yu Lian finally changed his face slightly: "How do you know..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Dugu defensively.

Dugu: "Don't hide it, I already know all about it. The strange things outside Wuyou Town are also caused by you using Qiongzhi flowers, right? As long as people who have come into contact with Qiongzhi jade, and those who come into close contact with Qiongzhi flowers will coma?"

"So what?" Knowing that Dugu understood his arrangement, Yu Lian calmed down and said in an arrogant tone, "Even if you know, you won't be able to get out. Everyone will die here!"

"Then since we are all going to die, can I trouble you to answer my other question?" Dugu asked, "Why is there no Qiongzhi flower in the town? Is it your fault?"

"You said that." Yu Lian laughed, with a look of pity and sarcasm in his eyes: "Yes. Otherwise, they would have discovered the existence of this kind of flower in advance, and it would be you jade pickers who would die. There are rich businessmen and dignitaries who are full of money, but they have no influence at all."

Dugu: "How did you know the existence of this kind of flower? What is the connection between Qiongzhi grass and Qiongzhi flower?"

Yu Lian took Qiao to twist her body bound by the rope: "Want to know? Help me untie the rope first."

Before Dugu could speak, a player holding a bamboo slip said excitedly: "I found it! There are records of Qiongzhicao and Qiongzhihua in this book."

In an instant, Yu Lian's expression turned black to the color of the bottom of a pot.
