Hush!secret

"Wake up, sister Chu, wake up!"

Chu Rui was awakened by Hua Leshen's hasty cry.

"What's wrong?" Chu Rui asked.

"Its daybreak."

The six people dressed neatly and gathered outside. Even in the daytime, the sky here has a hazy feeling of being covered by gauze mist, and there is no warmth in the daytime.

Xu Yuan commanded: "Let's act separately, trigger the task first, two boys lead a girl, it's safe."

Trigger a mission?

Hua Leshen explained to Chu Rui: "The condition for clearing the game is to find out the secrets hidden by the mission NPC, but the mission NPC has to find it by itself."

Chu Rui understood. It turned out that this was the case. The village was only this big. It shouldn't be difficult to find a task NPC. No wonder it was a normal dungeon.

Chu Rui still has doubts: "How do I know who the NPC is? Is there a time limit?"

"Sister, stop babbling, let's go!" Xu Yuan, Shang Zhongli, and Zhao Zi had already walked several meters away, and Xu Yuan turned around and shouted at him.

Chu Rui: "Why did he call me sister?" He was calling him, right? He was the only one talking just now.

Gan Xiaoxiao leaned forward: "Sister Chu, isn't she my sister?"

Chu Rui glared at the instigator who spread this title. He has been quite critical of this title.

Gan Xiaoxiao: "Don't waste time, let's go!"

The young girl was not tall, she walked in the front, her long hair was tied up, and she flicked her back, full of vigor.

She was obviously as timid as she was last night, but she is not afraid now. Chu Rui thought to herself.

The village is very quiet, and the world in the game does not have the hustle and bustle of morning dew at dawn.

Gan Xiaoxiao: "It's strange, why is there no one?"

It is a bit strange that no one can be seen as far as the eye can see. Chu Rui has never been to the novice dungeon, so she doesn't think it is strange. Setting too many NPCs in this kind of high-tech game is very costly. Things, only one task NPC is enough.

Chu Rui's thoughts were quickly shattered.

"Someone, there's a child!" Gan Xiaoxiao yelled suddenly, and she startled the person in front of her.

At the corner of the road, there was a child who was about the same size as last night, with the same hunched back, holding a big porcelain basin, standing at the intersection and watching them steadily.

Chu Rui noticed that Gan Xiaoxiao was talking about having a child, not an npc.

They walked towards the child and walked half a circle around the village. Finally, they saw a living person. Gan Xiaoxiao was a little excited, "Little friend, where are your parents?"

The children's clothes were very similar to the children who led them yesterday. They were all oversized clothes, with the cuffs rolled up several times. The clothes looked old and had heavy wear marks.

The three of them got closer and closer, and the child remained silent.

Gan Xiaoxiao: "May I ask you a question? Kid, where are your parents?"

Gan Xiaoxiao walked to the child's side first, and she settled at the corner.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Gan Xiaoxiao standing still, Hua Leshen rushed over in three steps at a time, and Chu Rui followed closely.

At the corner, at the entrance of another street covered by houses, there are more than a dozen children standing together with children holding porcelain basins, all of them are pale, each of them has a surprisingly large head, and their upper body grows longer than their lower body. Short, looking straight at the three of them with no expression, made Gan Xiaoxiao shudder, and felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his heart in broad daylight.

Hua Leshen: "So many children?"

He was about to walk forward when Chu Rui grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Hua Le was puzzled.

"They are not children." Chu Rui told them, "Their head-to-body ratio is out of balance, their eyes are dull, and their skin is not as delicate as children's. These people are cretin patients."

Asked if she didn't understand, Gan Xiaoxiao leaned back slightly to Chu Rui's side: "What is cretinism?"

Chu Rui: "A type of dwarfism."

Faced with more than a dozen pairs of dull and empty eyes, Gan Xiaoxiao grinned and "hissed": "There are so many. It's too scary!"

"What's the matter?" The npc spoke, and his eyeballs rolled, but they were not very flexible.

The three newcomers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Chu Rui asked Hua Leshen: "Are they mission npcs?"

Gan Xiaoxiao frowned, and she didn't seem to want to talk to the npc at all: "Their eyes are so scary, and there are as many as seventeen people, how can I find them!"

The three of them didn't speak. The npc holding the porcelain basin moved his legs and left. The rest of the npcs followed him and walked towards the east of the village. They walked very slowly and very disciplined, but they were too disciplined. This kind of disharmony and strange feeling, except for Chu Rui, in Chu Rui's eyes, isn't npc just like this without a soul?

Gan Xiaoxiao asked: "What should I do now?" Although she looked down on Chu Rui as a man, but was so timid, but after what happened just now, she had to admit that cowards do have two brushes, and they are not worthless.

Chu Rui: "Follow up, it is impossible to set up useless npcs in the game, they must be related to the mission npc."

Gan Xiaoxiao asked him: "Do you still play games?" Looking at him wearing glasses and a plaid shirt, he thought he was a man of science and engineering, but he didn't expect to have insights into games. Looking at his facial features carefully, he looks quite delicate, although Not as tall and handsome as Hua Leshen, but very handsome.

Chu Rui answered simply and neatly: "I don't play."

Gan Xiaoxiao: "."

Gan!Boring engineering man!

They followed in front of a ancestral hall. The tall ancestral hall seemed out of place among a group of low houses.

Following up in the ancestral hall, the other three companions were also inside. Without saying a word, Gan Xiaoxiao ran to Zhao Zi's side in small steps, and she was at ease only when she was with big sister Zhao Zi.

There is only one spirit tablet placed in the center of the huge ancestral hall. More than 30 small villagers gathered around the spirit tablet, stepped forward one by one, put their hands in the porcelain basin to wash, and then knelt down and kowtowed with palms together.

"It's all Keting?" Hua Le asked Chu Rui in a low voice.

Chu Rui shook her head: "Not all of them. Keting is just a type of dwarfism. It is certain that these people all suffer from dwarfism."

Xu Yuan: "The whole village has been searched, why are there all children and no adults?"

Hua Le, who had great trust in Chu Rui, told them firmly: "They are not children, they are adults." "

Several people looked at Hua Leshen, "You said they are adults?"

Hua Leshen: "They are all dwarfism patients, that's why they are so short. If you look at them carefully, they don't look like children!"

Several people suddenly realized, Xu Yuan: "Co-author, it's a dwarf village!"

Zhao Zi, who kept his hands in his pockets, froze for a second, and took out a card from his pocket.

"The task card is out!"

Chu Rui thought about it. It turned out that the task card was randomly distributed after the task was triggered.

""Dwarf Village", the difficulty index is two and a half stars, the survival index is four and a half stars, clear the customs task, and find out the reason why the villagers of Xiahe Village suffer from dwarfism."

"My good guy, I've been promoted directly to two and a half stars. Two and a half stars is the most difficult in the normal dungeon!" Xu Yuan looked embarrassed.

"It's also the first time I've come across a two-and-a-half-star normal dungeon." Zhao Zi frowned.

The two newcomers, Hua Leshen and Gan Xiaoxiao, looked at each other with resentment in their eyes, which meant "why are you so unlucky".

When several people were at a loss, Shang Zhongli went to the end of the line and asked a villager, trying to talk to him: "What are you doing?"

Chu Rui thought to herself, how could the npc talk to you fluently?

The villager turned around when he heard the voice: "I'm worshiping, you don't talk, it will disturb her!"

Shang Zhongli asked again: "Who is she?"

The villagers replied: "I don't know, this is the custom in our village. When the moon is first quarter, we will come to worship her."

Speak. Speak!Not only talking, but also fluent in answering!Chu Rui was shocked.

Shang Zhongli squinted his eyes to look at the spirit tablet ahead, he passed through the villagers, walked up to the spirit tablet, and picked it up.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Zhao Zi shouted.

Suddenly the ancestral hall erupted, and the villagers stood up one after another, waving their arms to drive them out. Several people were pushed out of the ancestral hall.

"Shang Zhongli, why did you go crazy just now?" Zhao Zi was sullen, expressing dissatisfaction with Shang Zhongli's recklessness, "Now that we have been kicked out, there are so many villagers there, which may not be conducive to our next actions. do you know?"

Shang Zhongli shrugged: "I want to see what is written on the spirit card, I think it should have something to do with the task."

"What did you write?" Gan Xiaoxiao asked, she thought Shang Zhongli was so cool, bold and handsome.

Shang Zhongli told them: "Write a name, Liang Qiuyue."

Zhao Zi: "Is it 'she' in the mouth of the villagers?"

Shang Zhongli nodded: "It should be."

Chu Rui, who was at the back, muttered to herself: "The kid we met last night should also be a villager. Does he know anything?"

"Huh? That kid was also a villager last night, should he?" Hua Le tilted his head deeply.

"Ah?" Gan Xiaoxiao heard Hua Leshen speak.

"Huh?" Xu Yuan heard Hua Leshen's words.

"?" Zhao Zi heard Hua Leshen speak.

Zhao Zi: "That's right, that person may know something, let's go back now, and come back when there is no one here!"

God, it will be dark soon.

The owner feeds the chickens by the back door.

Seeing that even the chickens are so lifelike and alive, Chu Rui has been able to calmly accept the reality of this immersive game.

"Hello..." Xu Yuan, a rough man with a beard, sometimes shy away.

The owner raised his head to look at Xu Yuan. His eyes were full of whites. When he stared at people, he looked like he was being attacked by a poisonous snake. In short, he was not very comfortable: "Do you... know who Liang Qiuyue is?"

"I've never heard of this name." Then the owner lowered his head to feed the chickens.

Everyone wanted to ask something, but the owner said, "It's time to eat, I'll cook for you." After turning around, he froze for two seconds, "Don't go out at night, don't go out."

This is the sentence again.

Chu Rui felt that it was unusual, don't go out...does it mean that your life will be in danger?Or does it mean that there are secrets of customs clearance hidden outside the village at night?
