Forced to bind with escape game NPC [unlimited]

The practice of praying to the god of the river through the water well to finally get asylum seems outrageous to the players, but no one will refute an old lady in the dungeon, let alone an old lady who just let them fold paper figurines and paper money. Mrs.

"In any case, the God of the River helped Xuyuan Village escape bad luck. Tomorrow we will visit the Temple of the River." The instructor Xiaoyuan summed it up in one sentence.Her tone was the same as that of other tour guides who introduced major attractions in reality, and she introduced the well seriously, "Do any passengers have any questions?"

What could be wrong with a broken well?Some players thought.

"I want to ask, how did the people in this village pray through the well?"

The players turned their heads, and the person who asked this question was the young woman, who was standing in the back row with her chest crossed.

Xiaoyuan, the tour guide who heard the question, showed a strange smile, and replied: "We don't know the specific method, but now the villagers in Xuyuan pray, and they will go to Xuyuan Temple to find the statue of the river god, and the statue of the river god has always been very effective. "

When the players heard the answer, they were all thoughtful. It seems that the way to clear the level this time has a lot to do with the statue of the river god.

Qi Anqi doubted the authenticity of this method, after all, she believed that she would be cursed if she wished with paper money, let alone fulfilled her wish.

"Then since there is no problem..."

"Is this well still in use?"

Everyone looked at Qi Anqi who raised this question again.

"This well was no longer used after the bandit incident." Madoka didn't say the reason, but her tone was very certain.

This question may seem irrelevant to some people, but there is a reason for Qi An to ask, because she saw this well on the empty mineral water bottle in the car and the mineral water bottle in the room, since this well is a local It is well known that it is no longer used. Isn't the label on the bottle wrong?

"If no one has any questions, today's activity will come to an end, and the rest of the time will be left to the tourists to move freely. The villagers here are very enthusiastic, please don't worry about disturbing them." Tour guide Madoka, "At five o'clock in the afternoon, we will leave the car back to the cabin on time, please don't be late."

After Madoka finished speaking, the players were stunned. It's only past 11 o'clock. What is there in this small village that makes them stay here until five o'clock in the afternoon?

Naturally, the NPC Madoka didn't care about the various inquisitive expressions on the players' faces, and left on her own, following up with the village chief.The village head glanced at her with unclear eyes, but he obviously didn't have the enthusiasm that Xiaoyuan said.

"Sister Qiqi, it seems that this is the system reminding us that there are important clues in this village that require us to stay for such a long time." Jiang Shuimiao expressed his opinion.

Before Qi Anqi could speak, Chen Ke rolled his eyes and said, "I suggest that you collect information in groups of two, which will be more efficient. After all, there is no sign that this is a competitive game. The more united we are, the easier it will be." Clearance."

"Tch." The young woman cast a disdainful glance at Chen Ke, turned her head and walked towards the entrance of the village alone.

Chen Ke shrugged without embarrassment, and it was not the first time he had encountered such a loner player.The couple Zhang Sen and Linlin agreed, Al Bugu was willing to cooperate from the very beginning, and Qi Anqi also agreed.

"That's exactly four groups. Arbugu and I can investigate alone..." He glanced at Albugu, and the burly man had no objection at all. "Let's go to the four directions of this village to investigate first, and return in an hour and a half. How about going to the village to exchange information?"

"We can't know the time..." Linlin reminded.

Only then did Chen Ke realize the problem: "Then let's just rely on our feelings, and go back to the village when it's almost done."

Everyone parted ways.Qi Anqi and Jiang Shuimiao were assigned to investigate in the bamboo forest behind the village, but they still stayed where they were.

She had noticed just now that the little girl in the black robe had been by their side the whole time. She didn't leave like a young woman, but she didn't join them either. The pair of eyes under the black hood looked at her quietly.

"Sister Qiqi, this player is a bit strange." Jiang Shuimiao said as quietly as possible, but was overheard and the little girl rolled her eyes.

Jiang Shuimiao: "..." Scared.

"Do you want to come together?" Qi An whispered to the little girl.

The little girl neither agreed nor refused.

Qi Anqi didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to take Jiang Shuimiao to the bamboo forest.

At this time, no villagers or other animals were seen in the bamboo forest behind the village, but Qi Anqi noticed a pair of strange footprints on the ground.It didn't look like a human footprint, nor did it look like an animal's hoof, but a strange little cube.The footprints also extend all the way into the bamboo forest.

"Is this a ghost?" Jiang Shuimiao asked.

"Ghosts have feet? Have you seen them?" Qi An whispered back.

Jiang Shuimiao: QAQ

It's not like ghosts, ghosts don't walk out of such neat footprints.

After walking forward for a while, they found that the bamboo forest could not be reached, so they had to turn back because they were worried about getting lost.

When he was about to walk out of the bamboo forest, Qi Anqi met a young woman who had just entered the bamboo forest.

They passed by each other without speaking to each other.

"This person reminds me of those two guild players. I don't know if he came here to find some hidden rewards." Jiang Shuimiao suddenly remembered something after mentioning it casually, "By the way, I saw in the beginner's guide that collecting There will be special rewards for all ten hidden items, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

special reward?Qi Anqi thought of that crystallization of love.

Back in the village, they saw the tour guide Xiaoyuan sitting in the dirt yard of the village head at the entrance of the village. From her perspective, they could see the whole village and them clearly.

Seeing that the others hadn't come back, Qi An asked Jiang Shuimiao to wait here, saying that he forgot something on the bus.

She walked to the bus not far away and knocked on the glass door.Lu Qi didn't sit in the driver's seat, but sat in the first row and rested with his eyes closed.He opened his eyes and saw it was her, and opened the car door.

"Can I ask you something?" Lu Qi saw a group of human players stepping on the bus smiling at him.

"Okay." Qi Anqi saw Lu Qi nodded.

"...I haven't said what I want to ask of you yet."

The man didn't seem to feel how decisive his promise just now was, he asked, "Then what are you talking about?"

Qi An chirped: "..."

After she got off the bus, the other players came back. Although it was already past the time for lunch, the players all brought dry food with them, so they made do with it.

"There is nothing north of the village." Zhang Sen said to the couple.

"There is a prairie in Lanmian, and I haven't been able to reach the end." Albugu said in his not-so-fluent Mandarin.

"I went to the west of the village, which is where we came from. There were roads all the way. I couldn't see the end, and I didn't see the so-called cemetery. I walked for about half an hour and turned back." Chen Ke said.

"We went to the east of the village, which is also behind the village. There is a bamboo forest, but there is nothing." Qi Anqi also shared her investigation.

After a while, Qi Anqi asked again: "Have any of you seen the so-called river?"

Several players looked at each other and shook their heads.

"River?" Jiang Shuimiao reacted for a moment, and then he understood why Qi Anqi asked, "Didn't you say that the bandits were washed away by the river in the rainstorm? Why is there no river nearby?"

No one can answer this question for now.

After that, the villagers didn't give too many clues, and even now the players don't know why they stayed in this village.

And after Qi Anqi saw the young woman visit the village head again, she also knocked on the door and asked for something.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the players got on the return bus on time. The return bus drove more bumpy than when they came, and the paper figurines outside the window also moved backwards faster.

After nearly an hour, the tour guide Madoka looked at his watch again like last night, and told everyone, "It's six o'clock soon, and the cabin is coming."

When she said this, Qi Anqi raised the corners of her lips.

Similar to the situation in the morning, after the players got out of the car and walked into the house, it suddenly became dark outside the window.Like a curtain drawn on a stage, everything is swallowed up in black.The day before they came, they paid too much attention to the situation inside the house, so they didn't notice the scene outside the house.It turns out that the change of day and night here is also so weird.

Before dinner, Xiaoyuan explained the itinerary for the day as usual: "Tomorrow we will go to the Xuyuan Temple in the west. We will gather for breakfast at [-] o'clock and leave at [-] o'clock. It will take an hour. The Xuyuan Temple is where the villagers worship the river. God's place, we will follow the tradition here to worship the river god for up to one hour, and then everyone can pray. After that, we will still give everyone free time to move around, and we will return on time at [-]:[-] p.m. cabin."

Obviously, worshiping the river god tomorrow is a key part of the whole journey, because it involves tasks.

But after listening to Xiaoyuan's explanation, Qi Anqi just felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

After the meal, Qi Anqi went back to the room. Although there was no clock, she roughly estimated that the time was just before eight o'clock.She slowly approached the window, looking out of the window intentionally or unintentionally. Although the window in the room is closed, there are no curtains. The bed is so brightly facing the dark glass window. shadow.It was pitch dark outside at this time, and the tour guide Xiaoyuan also clearly reminded that it is best not to go out after midnight. Whether it is the free time in the afternoon or the time in the evening, the amount of time vacated for players in this dungeon world is too much to make people panic .

When thinking of this, Qi Anqi had already stuck to the glass window, and her footsteps stopped. In the dark night, she saw a row of white blurry silhouettes approaching her window. .Obviously there was no light outside, so we shouldn't be able to see anything, but these white shadows appeared on the other side of the glass window, and enlarged little by little, approaching the cabin.

There was a quick knock on the door.

Qi An turned around and went to the door to open it. Outside was Jiang Shuimiao who was so frightened that he was about to cry. When he saw her open the door, he grabbed her door frame like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Sister Qiqi, help me, I just stayed in the room well, when I suddenly heard someone knock on my glass window!"

At the same time Jiang Shuimiao said these words, there were two "da da" knocks on the glass in Qi Anqi's room.
