On the way home, the rewards given by the previous missions came in handy.

You need to buy a ticket to take the Shinkansen, and the fare from Tokyo to the village is a lot more expensive. When you feel discouraged, you suddenly think of the things you got in your backpack and turn them out like treasures.

- Shinkansen ticket.

It's useless to complain about this thing before... I didn't expect it to come in handy when I got home!You changed your name on the spot, exchanged this ticket for a seat back to Xinshou Village, and took the familiar means of transportation.

Nowadays, NPCs are very flexible. Passers-by in a hurry pull their suitcases and walk beside them, making the sound of "gurgling" pulleys dragging. magazines.

Staying in the seat is a bit boring. It takes a total of 3 hours to travel, and I don’t know how to spend it...

Huh?Wait, I seem to have a function that can adjust the time?

Thinking of something in your mind, you decided to use the [Meditation] that you used frequently when you first wore it, quietly looked around, took off your small buckskin shoes, and crossed your legs.

After 15 minutes, a long-lost prompt popped up in the game.

[System: Are you in a state of meditation?For every 1 minute of meditation, the time can be adjusted for 1 hour. 】

……coming!

Decisively choose to enter a meditative state, and you maintain this posture, lying against the back of the wall for 3 minutes.

I counted to 180 seconds in my heart, and when I let go of my coiled legs, I only heard a strange female voice next to me, as if reminding myself.

"Wake up...wake up."

Feeling someone shaking your shoulders, you suddenly raised your head and found that it was the staff of the Shinkansen. Seeing yourself open your eyes, the NPC kept smiling and let go: "Passenger, your journey is over, it's time to get off." car."

"Thank you." You nodded quickly, put on your shoes and got out of the car with your bag on your back.

It takes 3 hours by bus to return to the village from the Shinkansen. I can’t help but feel that your Xinshou Village is really remote. After finding the station platform, it didn’t take long for a bus to drive over.

Climb straight into the carriage, except for the NPC marked with "driver", there is no one in the entire carriage.

Looking at the familiar bus driver, you feel an indescribable sense of nostalgia in your heart, thinking that the last time you saw him was a few weeks ago, you couldn't help but stepped forward and poked the dialog box, and your vision turned gray.

Choice 1: Uncle, long time no see.

Option 2: About the time of the vehicle...

Option 3: leave.

"Uncle, long time no see!"

"Huh?" The driver who had already started the car glanced at you, then patted his thigh as if remembering something: "Ah, it's you."

"Long time no see, but you should be talking about my twin brother. We changed shifts today."

……

???

Isn't the bus under the high school another person? You were a little dizzy, and you opened your mouth speechlessly, but the driver uncle laughed: "To be honest, my brother's child just reached the full moon today, and he is going to the shrine We were visiting the shrine, so we changed shifts for each other."

The other party said, and handed over a few white candies, and the system prompted: Get 5 happy candies, which can restore 15 points of blood.

"...Oh, thank you." You took the little prop that you no longer liked, and stuffed it into your pocket, but you were thinking about another thing.

Another uncle driver... Didn't he just have a successful blind date not long ago and entered the palace of marriage? !Why is the child already full moon...

There are too many factors, you quickly shook your head, told yourself not to think too much, closed your mouth, found a random place to sit down, and stopped talking.

Staying in the car was very boring, you used meditation again, crossed your legs and counted for more than 100 seconds, and when you opened your eyes again, it was already dark.

When I got off the bus, the first thing I saw was a dilapidated platform built by a small wooden house, with rusty poles swaying in the wind, surrounded by an empty field.

Looking at the familiar hills in the distance, a strong atmosphere of going to the countryside hits you. It is not as busy as the city. You think about it for a while, and rush to your home quickly with your memory in mind.

"grandmother!"

Pushing open the door, I anxiously poked my neck into the room, but the target was an aunt I didn't know at all. She looked fat and had a long list of confusing eyes on her head——

Grandma's younger sister's son lives in Aunt Yoshiko next door.

you:……

Click on the dialogue bubble on the other party, and the same options pop up.

Choice 1: Are you...

Choice 2: What's wrong with my grandma?

Choice 3: This is not your home, leave now.

Deciding to say it in order, you say the first choice: "You are."

"Me?" The fat aunt rubbed her apron with her hands, with a smile on her face, she seemed to look over in surprise: "Silly boy, why did you forget about aunt? I belong to your grandma..."

Before the other party can pronounce the ridiculously long name, you quickly interrupt her, twitch your mouth and say, "What's wrong with my grandma?"

At the mention of this, Aunt Fangzi's smile subsided a little, and she walked into the house with her apron in her hand: "Come with me."

Ah this.You swallowed suddenly, took off your shoes uneasily, and followed into the house in a daze, remembering that it should be grandma's room. I don't know what disease she has, but Aunt Fangzi shook her head and sighed: "Your grandma I ate too much breakfast today, so I couldn’t get out of bed all of a sudden, and I’m still sleeping.”

"Eh?"

The footsteps stopped immediately, and at the moment the aunt's voice fell, a cheating game prompt appeared above his head, breaking his subconscious stagnation.

[The player has completed the main mission: Visiting grandma who is running out of time!Get 3 experience points, coins x 725 yen, Aunt Yoshiko's handkerchief x 2, Aunt Yoshiko's sexy underwear set x 500. 】

……

At a loss, you took the pile of things that the fat aunt handed over, and your eyes fell on the last piece of equipment...

What the hell? !

Help, throw your underwear aside as if you were scalding your hand, you shook your head again and again, then turned to look at the old woman lying on the bed, not knowing what to say for a while, so you could only go forward and check the status bar of the other party.

[System prompt: Grandma seems to be sick and has fallen into a deep sleep. 】

Get closer to grandma, the game popped up a prompt at this time, you are surprised, thinking that what you are talking about is nonsense, you can't help but continue to look at the details in the status bar, there are coma buffs and excessive food accumulation on the back.

Quickly find out the strange-flavored candy from your backpack, and you stuff one into grandma's mouth, and the old man who was lying on the bed woke up immediately, "cough...cough cough!"

"Good boy, it smells so good."

"...Grandma." You opened your mouth for a moment, but silently closed it and nodded. The food accumulation state of the other party has not disappeared, because there is no buff effect displayed, and the strange-tasting candies don't work.

I remember that there is a small universal medicine box that I just got not long ago in my backpack...

You squatted down and searched carefully, and as expected, you found a box of medicine for eliminating accumulated food in the medicine box, and asked grandma to drink it with water. The old woman who was lying on the bed jumped up and sat up from the side of the bed.

"Good boy, you are finally back." Wearing a plain cloth shirt, grandma took out a small box out of nowhere, with a kind and hoarse tone: "Grandma was taken care of by many people when she was sick. The proprietress of the tailor shop next door sent grandma home."

"This is a box of snacks, help grandma give her as a thank you gift."

[The player has triggered the main mission: deliver wagashi snacks to the tailor shop!Task details: Grandma fainted while running the shop. In order to repay the tailor shop owner who sent her back, please give her a thank you gift. 】

"Oh……"

You scratched your hair and took the things. You don't know why running errands is also the main task. Before you left, you looked at grandma again, and found that she was really fine, and left your house with Aunt Fangzi.

Now that grandma is healed, the fat aunt will naturally go back too. You strolled along the path by the field with the gift box in your arms, and soon came to the tailor shop at the entrance of the village.

The last time I came here was 800 years ago, and I couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed again. When I opened the door of the shop, the tailor shop owner took a look at you and said nothing.

You ignored the air bubbles on the other person's body, turned your head and looked around, and found a woman sitting next to the sewing machine with a "tailor lady" logo on her head.

"...Hello." Walking over with the gift box, you don't have a deep impression of the proprietress, you just remember that this guy has a lame brother... You shook your head and handed the wagashi, and you said, "I'll help you." Grandma sent something, thank you for taking her back."

"This is it? The proprietress of the tailor's shop reacted immediately. She looked surprised and took the things with both hands: "Oh... oh...it's nothing, this is what I should do. "

After accepting the snacks, she turned her head and gave some candies and sharp scissors x 1. The system reminded that the main task was completed, and the experience bar increased by more than 2000 points.

This pair of scissors is much better than the rags I took away at the bar of the tailor shop back then. The blade surface is shiny, and it is a good weapon with attack +51, agility +67, and defense -5.

After you put your things in your backpack, you turn around and want to leave, only to find that the proprietress has a speech bubble on her body, and she sighs while sitting in her seat.

Choice 1: What's wrong with you?

Choice 2: About your brother...

Option 3: leave.

"what happened to you?"

After thinking about it, I'd better ask. After reading the first option, the proprietress's eyes became more sad, and her tone was full of worry: "Little girl, do you remember what I told you? My eldest sister married into the next door. Married to the old village, the second sister works in the barber shop at the entrance of the village."

"Remember..." You nodded, but you thought in your heart that this happened in the Year of the Monkey, how could you remember it.

Feeling that some side quest might be triggered right now, you still asked the other person, and the proprietress covered her tears sadly: "I heard that some strange things have happened in the next village recently, and people often disappear strangely. I am very worried about the elder sister's Can you deliver the letter to her for me?"

Huh? !

[The player triggers the main task: go to the next village to deliver a letter to the eldest sister of the tailor shop owner.Mission details: There seems to be some rumors of disappearance next door. The proprietress is very worried about this. The village next door is 2800 meters away from the east end of the village. Please give the things to her elder sister. 】

Seeing the proprietress handing over a pink cloth bag, in addition to the letter, there should be some food and greetings inside, you raised your hand to take it, since it is the main task, you must not refuse it, but you feel a little weird in your heart...

It's strange that you can't tell for a while, you just didn't bother to care so much, and left here with a cloth bag.

When passing by the east end of the village, I happened to meet a certain Laizi squatting on the side of the road. You can't see it, so you speed up and go to another map that you have never been to.

The closer you get to the next-door village, the more an indescribable atmosphere permeates into your bone marrow. The breath in the air seems to be stagnating gradually, and a faint gray tone envelopes the next-door village.

It is completely different from the Novice Village you are in.

Now that you have experienced so many winds and waves, you feel the strangeness around you, and you can't help but pull out the dragon-slaying sword from your backpack, and your heart thumps.

The entrance of the next door village is right in front of you, and there are two old ladies chatting at the gate, as if discussing something, you walk over and ask, "Excuse me, you know..." Uh.

What should I call the eldest sister of the proprietress?

Ah, help... You don't even know the other party's name!

In the middle of the conversation, she suddenly got stuck, but the old woman who was pulled back vigilantly hid behind, squinted her small eyes to look at you for a few times, frowned and said, "This dress...is the same dress that came in just now. Are you with the boys?"

"If you're looking for that guy, he's already followed the village chief to Saobaxing, so go find him there."

The old lady couldn't help shaking her head while talking: "I said that the disappearance of our village is related to those two little girls' movies. The village chief insisted on allowing people from outside to come and take a look. Obviously, the incident has been resolved. gone."

……

What you wanted to say paused for a moment, your mind went blank, and you suddenly forgot what you wanted to ask.

The village, the missing, the broom star.

And the college uniform that is exactly the same as her own.

The cloth bundle in your hand fell to the ground with a "clack", and the expression on your face gradually became panicked. You grabbed the old woman's shoulders and said anxiously, "What are you talking about... What is the name of this village?"

"The village?" The old woman looked over inexplicably: "Old Village, hey, wait... I seem to have seen you before, you are the little girl from the Xiyuan Temple family in the next village."

Jiu ■■ Village, even if the middle two words are muted, you can still hear these words clearly.

Damn, why didn't I remember this plot earlier! !Combining a series of elements at the scene, you would be a fool if you didn't guess anything. You can't hear what the old lady said after that, immediately put away the big knife, and ran desperately in the direction they just pointed.

Help, hurry up!You ran wildly, ignoring your bangs being blown by the wind, and used your maximum agility to go to that basement...

But still one step slower.

The door of the basement was pushed open with a "snap", and the scene inside suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Two shivering little girls hugged each other. They shrank in a dark and narrow iron cage. twin girls".

Outside the cage stood two villagers in plain shirts, and the familiar boy with black hair and ball head.

The atmosphere on Xia Youjie's body was very strange, he raised his thumb to his temple, you shouted "Jie!" but the other party didn't seem to hear him, he was immersed in his own world.

"……"No!

You were actually seen. You were dying of anxiety, panting and leaning on your knees, and ran over anxiously trying to say something. Xia Youjie didn't move as if he was holding back, but the two villager NPCs behind him still said as a matter of course: " They are the culprits of this disappearance, we have already said it, you still don’t believe it.”

……

Damn... the dark-haired boy seems to have a vein on his head, it looks like he can't listen to anything anymore, you are furious in your heart, you are too lazy to care about the two villagers, and your subordinates can't help but start searching for anything The remedy, even if there is a small prop that can make people lose their memory...

Hey, wait! !

After a random click, I suddenly found a useless title in my title column. It was a thing that made people's intelligence -999. Wearing it would probably turn people into fools on the spot.

Unable to hold back your saliva, you raised your hand decisively and put the title of "Great Wisdom" on top of Xia Youjie's head.

The air froze for a few seconds.

The opponent's hand on the forehead suddenly dropped, and you didn't dare to delay for too long. You quickly chopped the cage with a big knife, rescued the two little girls, and knocked out the two villager NPCs by the way.

In order to prevent the villagers from being killed, you rushed out ahead of time and knocked them out like a massacre of the village, and even wiped out the haunting curse spirit. Seeing that Nanako and Mimiko were rescued by yourself, the villagers also stopped , you quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, a boy with a ball head wants to slaughter the village, but he can’t do it. Two girls with wounds follow behind him at a loss. You stop, squat down and pat their heads soothingly. .

The reversal technique can't heal others at present, so you can only use a small medicine box to bandage them. You take out Aunt Yoshiko's handkerchief (this thing looks very new and clean), and carefully wipe off the stains on their foreheads. He said with some hesitation, "You guys, are you willing to go home with me?"

The two little girls paused for a moment, looked at each other, suddenly held each other's little hands tightly, looked up anxiously, and the white-haired girl was the first to whisper, "Nanako."

Brunette girl: "Mimiko."

"I...we do."

The moment the voice fell, the signs above the two people's heads changed to Nanako and Mimiko.

Feeling very happy, you found a few pieces of sweet wedding candy from your pocket and stuffed them into their palms, planning to lead them back to your village first, and take them to grandma to think about the next countermeasures.

Walking to the entrance of the old village, you always feel that you have forgotten something. You are a little strange, but you don’t think too much, until Mimiko stops, holding the wedding candy in her hand, she seems afraid to eat: "Sister ..."

"Won't that big brother go back with us?"

……

You, your expression froze, and you said guiltyly: "I will, I will."

Let them wait for you here, you wiped off your cold sweat, and ran frantically to a certain basement location, picked up the cloth bundle that fell on the ground before going back, and sent the things to the eldest sister of the tailor shop owner's wife.

As for why you know where the quest location is, thank you for searching before... Ah no, it’s thanks to the villagers that you beat up, and you clearly know where the quest target lives.

Back in the dark basement, I found that Xia Youjie was still standing there, his dark purple pupils were staring at the iron cage in a daze, his eyes seemed a little dull...

Don't dare to withdraw the title now, you can only hold his hand like a child, and lead him out.

The two twins were still at the door. Seeing you coming, they hurriedly followed and left the village with you.
