The task was prompted at the beginning——

[Main task: Find the dead]

[Mission description (new addition): You and your family live in this beautiful village. Compared with outsiders, you trust the elders in the village more, and the villagers have a strong sense of clan. Unfortunately, you are people with foreign surnames.

On this day, a murder occurred in the village. Please find the deceased before Xueting and prove that you are not the murderer.

Although you don't know who the deceased is or who the murderer is, you at least know what kind of person you are, right?

How can you kill someone? 】

——This is the main mission.

Previously, Jiang Huai only paid attention to the sentence "find the dead", but did not pay attention to the second part of the sentence "prove that he is not a murderer", because he thought that he did not kill anyone - they were involved in the field, how could they kill people?

But, not like this...

Their appearance here is equivalent to killing people.

If it is true as Jiang Huai thinks, their time is moving forward, and the time of the villagers is going backwards. If the deceased is a villager who will "die" in the future, then those guys who "make time move forward" are the ones who make the dead die murderer.

Unless the deceased was not a villager, indeed, if a villager dies, the body cannot be found, so the first phase of the task cannot be completed.

Who else died besides the villagers?Who else can find a body after death?

Zhang Fu, Xu Zu, Xiao Xu, Xiao Lin, Ji Bai, Jiang Huai.

and stowaways.

This is a task for Jianghuai alone.

Only he knows this is the way to leave the realm.

As long as the first dead person appears... Let someone kill who... This main task is...

At once……

"Wow," Ji Bai put his hands on Jiang Huai's shoulders, "This guess sounds so sci-fi, you can also join the brainstorming group."

Seeing Jiang Huai turn his head and look directly at himself, Ji Bai was at a loss: "What's wrong?"

"But cousin, it's hard to find evidence for this guess, why do I always feel that you skipped a lot of preconditions..."

"Let's take a look, the 'wall calendar' can adjust the weather, so we found that the current time may not be December 12, because the only things that make us think it is December 30 are snow days, wall calendars, and clothes. , as soon as the time changed, I realized, wow, the leaves outside are still green, it’s either spring or summer! Right?”

Jiang Huai: "...Yes."

"Then, we found out that there are no other living things in the village other than people, and there are no fish in the river. The people in the village may not be people at all, and they don't care about the disappearance of their family members, right?"

Jianghuai: "... that's right."

"What does that have to do with time? Doesn't this mean that this world is fake! They are just puppets and have no emotions at all. Look at this, this Mujia Village, it doesn't exist at all. The decorations and decorations in the village Xibian Village is very similar, which means that the ghost king is probably related to Xibian Village, and there are statues and so on, just like Xibian Village..." Ji Bai frowned, "Sister You, what did you say about the inner and outer domains? In other words, when I was in this village and you were in that stage world, why do you think my village is real? Couldn’t this be a stage as well?”

Jiang Huai took a while to realize that the title "Sister You" was referring to himself. He didn't think this was a stage, because it was a "blue village" recognized by the system!

And he will make such an inference because he knows what will happen in the future, he knows that people will die, and he knows the system prompts...

"you're right."

"Huh?" Ji Bai became visibly happy, "Right, you also think it makes sense?"

Jianghuai: "Maybe the plot is reversed..."

Ji Bo: "???"

Jianghuai: "Is it a movie, a disc..."

Ji Bo put one arm around Jiang Huai's neck expressionlessly, and scratched his itch with the other: "I'll kill you—"

If you believe it, you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, if you believe half of it and still insist on your own ideas, what kind of trouble is it?

Jiang Huai, you little bastard!

If Jiang Huai knew what he was thinking, he could answer him like this: because everything formed a logical closed loop.

After arriving here, a system prompt appeared, if this is not the destination, then where is it?What's more, the side quest rewards the reputation of the blue village.

And the main task is to find the corpse and prove that he is not the murderer. No corpse was found from the beginning to the end in the false ne. Was the corpse eaten?No, there are no dead people in the whole village, because the villagers are all monsters.

Admitting that the villagers are human beings, the murderers are these "people with foreign surnames".

If the villagers are not recognized as human beings, then...

Jiang Huai was silent for a while, and asked with a rare confused and uneasy expression: "Could this be...not the Blue Village?"

Ji Bai's head was full of question marks: "Where is the blue here? The sky? But it snowed so much just now, the sky is white!"

Did he say something wrong? Jiang Huai looked at him again with a straight expression.

—his little cousin looked both happy and frustrated, such an inexplicable kid.

Ji Bo stroked Jiang Huai's hair, and continued to ask without giving up, "Then under what circumstances... will this be a blue village?"

Xu Zu was puzzled: "We asked before we went out, this village has no name."

In fact, Jianghuai knew this, but he didn't think it was very important, because the "Jizhou Art Museum" he saw on other people's seal cards was not really called this name, but because it was the one that made the art museum problematic. The painting is called "Extreme Day", so when he knew that the village was not called "Blue Village" (normal villages would not be called this name), he didn't pay much attention to it. He only thought that the copy itself might have something to do with the color.

He saw many colors, the colors of idols, the colors of candles, the colors of costumes and masks, the colors of snow, the colors of flowers... everything has colors.

what is blue

Since entering the field, he only saw one thing that was blue, and that was the "Mandarin Duck". However, even the mask of the Mandarin Duck has become a reward for him.

Seeing that Jiang Huai was a little frustrated, Ji Bai also came over and touched his head - Jiang Huai suspected that he just wanted to take the opportunity to touch his own head: "You want to find a blue village? What kind of blue is it? The wall The courtyard tiles are all blue? Speaking of which, I have seen such a village when I was traveling in Europe..."

Deputy Zhang also said: "The names of the villages in the countryside are actually very random, because of the mountains and water, like a streamside village. Basically, the name of the village is related to the buildings and terrain around the village. If it is called a blue village, there is nothing wrong with it. There are a lot of blue items in the village, and there are iconic blue flowers or grass around the village, and there are large areas..."

Although they didn't know why Jiang Huai asked such a question, the others racked their brains to help him figure out the answer, even though they didn't know if it made sense.

Jiang Huai made a joke: "Then Xibian Village should also be called Peach Blossom Village."

Deputy Zhang also smiled: "No, there are too few peach blossoms in Xibian Village, so it can be called Wowo Village. It's the first time I've seen the whirlpool-shaped terrain."

Jiang Huai: "Well...Actually, people in the village didn't want to build houses like that. It was said that there was really no other place, but the stream flows like that..."

Eh?

No, you shouldn't think about this, the world of ghosts is different from the world of normal people——

The King of Ghosts thought that this domain was called "Blue Village", so it was named "Blue Village", even though the village didn't actually have a name.

Jiang Huai turned his gaze to the densely packed task bar——

These are completed tasks, not only completed by him, but also completed by others.

But the strange thing is: "The people in the village who come to you for help...are they all old people and children?"

Deputy Zhang looked at the others, while Xu Zu nodded, thoughtfully, "Yes, but in general villages, I have the impression that there are too many old people and children, but adults..."

"Wait!" Ji Bo raised his hand with a serious face, "I helped clean the idol before, but the sister who asked me to help is an adult."

Jiang Huai knew he was talking about Mu Xinyi.

It's not that there are no adults in the village, it's just that adults don't ask for help, which is normal, and those who need help are often the elderly and children.

But do you really need help?It still makes sense to take medicine... Make a nest for swallows, swallows will never come to this world, find a flower, even if you can't find it, it's not surprising?

These requirements seem very...

how to say……

Very... childish?

Jiang Huai looked through all the tasks again. The tasks can be divided into two categories, helping the elderly, and fulfilling the innocent and strange wishes of the children. Occasionally, the elderly will send out tasks that are as innocent and tormenting as the children, and it seems very strange to be mixed in the middle.

[Sub-quest: Find a green flower for Muaiai]

[Mission description: It is said that I saw it in the back mountain, just put the flowers on the steps of her house]

[Task Reward: Blue Village Prestige +11]

He did not find the green flower.

Muaiai is also gone.

It is rare for Jianghuai to feel frustrated. If the normal world moves forward in a straight line, but this world is indeed a matryoshka doll. He feels that he is breaking the shackles layer by layer, but he doesn't know how many layers are outside——

There is no hope in sight.

But not seeing hope is only for him, other people don't know what will happen in the future, they are seriously living the present.

"Xiao Jiang," Deputy Zhang asked after seeing Jiang Huai push the door out, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Huai hurriedly said: "I'll be back soon."

He walked a few meters, but he heard footsteps behind him. It was Xu Zu. He had already taken off his coat in the hot weather: "Let me go with you. It's getting dark. Are you going to the back mountain?"

Jiang Huai pursed his lips: "The village head's daughter asked me to find a green flower for her. She is missing. Maybe there will be clues in the back mountain."

He took out the large bouquet of flowers from his cuffs and showed them to Xu Zu, the flowers were wilted now.

Xu Zu: "Green? Don't you have green?"

He pointed to the inconspicuous, blue flower.

Jiang Huai was at a loss for words. After a while, he took out another item from his cuff, which was a mandarin duck mask: "Uncle Xu... what color is this?"

"Green... wait," Xu Zu patted himself on the head, "I forgot, I made a mistake again! Blue! It's blue!"

"Xiaojiang, I remember that you are not from Yang Province, but I am from Yanqi Township. Here, we always like to refer to blue as green, especially for the elderly. I know it's blue, but I'm used to saying it's green... My brain..."

"Would green be called blue?"

Xu Zu had a bitter look on his face: "This...me too, I really can't tell the difference!"

He really worked hard to divide it, but he couldn't do it.

People of their age were taught that blue is actually green, and green is actually blue when they were young. When they grow up, and in other environments, they happen to meet other people to help them distinguish them, and they know that they are the two colors. The words are mixed up, but the habit has already been formed, there is really no way to change it, and I will always talk about it.

Jiang Huai didn't go back to the mountain, but walked to the village chief's house with Xu Zuo with an open expression.

Muaiai was still not at home, he paused, took a step forward, and put the blue flower on the steps.

【Sub-quest: "Find a green flower for Muaiai" has been completed】

……

Riverside Village.

Zhao Xiaomi held the candle and huddled under the stove.

The avalanche came suddenly, and no one knew why. Fortunately, there were houses blocking it, so it was not a big deal, but the thick snow was three meters high, and the house was buried under it. In the freezing cold, the candles were crumbling.

The teammates shivered and used their bodies to protect Zhao Xiaomi from the cold wind. They could go but they didn't. Of course everyone was dressed to keep warm, but it was the chill that came from the bottom of their hearts, because the candles couldn't be extinguished. Snow can only be dug carefully, and the progress is slow.

The temperature was low and continued to drop. On the other side of the screen, people from the expert group were taking turns talking with Zhao Xiaomi. They couldn't fall asleep. If they fell asleep under such conditions, they might not be able to wake up.

Zhao Xiaomi raised his eyelids, occasionally answered a few words, and heard the other side flipping through the book and asking: "By the way, you are in the village now, do you have any guesses about the situation?"

Zhao Xiaomi replied in a muffled voice: "No, I can't think of it."

There is a girl over there, who speaks very energetically, her mouth is bursting like beans, suitable for teaching mathematics in a drowsy high school class: "We have checked the death situation in Xibian Village for the past ten years, but the deaths in the past few years should be It doesn’t make sense, so it’s mainly about this year, which is 2020—”

Everyone else's ears were pricked up, listening to the voice from here.

"In 2020, only one family member died in Xibian Village. The surname Mu died accidentally. The five members of the family only survived a six-year-old boy, but the boy also disappeared later."

"The cause of death was accidental burning. It is said that a child was playing with a candle and set the haystack on fire. It was summer, and the fire was huge and burning fast—"

Zhao Xiaomi was still holding the candle in her arms, and wanted to smile wryly, but her lips couldn't move—it was already frozen.

"Later, all four members of the family were burned to death. Only the little boy suffered moderate burns and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. As a result, he disappeared from the hospital as soon as he got off the operating table." The girl looked at the tablet in her hand, "This matter It is still an unsolved case, the police have not found the person so far, and it is presumed to be dead."

So... because five people died, so there are ghosts here?

Zhao Xiaomi was dizzy, trying to keep up with the other party's thinking.

The girl continued: "However, we visited other people in Xibian Village and found that there seemed to be some errors in details, and someone provided new clues—"

"There were more than five people in the family who died. The boy's mother was pregnant last year, and the villagers saw it, but later she was supposed to give birth, but the villagers didn't see it."

Is it an abortion?

"Other villagers also asked why...but the boy's mother said, 'I gave it to relatives'. We went to the township hospital to investigate and found that she did give birth to a child at the end of April. As for the relatives... I haven't found out which relative's house the other party sent the child to."

Zhao Xiaomi closed her eyelids, and reluctantly said, "Then... this, is it related to the statue in my hand?"

Thinking of the abnormality of the idol, he shivered slightly.

The girl also seemed to be lost in thought, and organized her words: "There are also special things about the statues. Every household in Xibian Village has statues. They have been there for many years, and they have always been normal. However, some villagers responded that a few months ago, he touched God, suddenly heard the cry of a baby. I didn’t encounter such a situation later, and he also thought he was an auditory hallucination.”

"However, he said that he was frightened, so he didn't refill the incense for the statue for many days. As a result, he was haunted by nightmares every night. Once he almost strangled himself in a dream. The next day he was so scared that he immediately moved out of the village. We guess, Ghosts should have appeared in Xibian Village a long time ago, and they were related to god statues, and they were not discovered until yesterday's incident—”

What happens after that, everyone knows.

It's just that Zhao Xiaomi doesn't understand, is this ghost hiding in the statue good or bad?
