Homecoming through online games

=====================

Ye Mu stared at the tooth marks and pondered for a while.

Of course he was sure it couldn't have been done by himself.Not to mention that he didn’t remember the suspicious void period when he lost consciousness. He still doesn’t understand his own teeth. To bite out marks on such a strong bone, and leave him with a complete mouthful until now. Good teeth, absolutely impossible.

Ye Mu only knows that human fingerprints are unique and cannot be copied. As for tooth marks... He really doesn't know if everyone is different, maybe there are accidents that are the same.

coincide?Such a possibility cannot be ruled out.But if it wasn't a coincidence, what would have caused the current state?

Ye Mu called up the map, looked at the location of the forest where the human bones were found, and began to think.

A thought appeared in his mind, he raised his head suddenly, and pulled out the long knife.

He raised the knife to his eyes, and under the candlelight, Ye Mu's eyebrows and eyes were clearly reflected on the knife.

He didn't say this face was unfamiliar, but he wasn't very familiar with it either.

He is a little more ruthless than the real one, and a little less fierce than the game him.

This is the outline of Ye Woruo's facial features in the game.Ye Mu once looked at him in the mirror, but he didn't pay much attention to it—anyway, it was for others to see. Strictly speaking, he is a little handsomer than before, so he is not at a disadvantage.

But in the final analysis, this face was just the one he was most satisfied with from the several face shapes provided by the system.Although there are quite a lot of face shapes to choose from at the beginning of the game, after all, there are a large number of players with different aesthetics. Even the ugliest faces that players jokingly call "maliciousness from artists" are chosen. His face shape, In the game, it is inevitable to encounter "face bumping".A rival from the same school who chose the same face shape as him once threatened to kill him until he changed his face shape.

If there are other "players" in this world.There may be differences in things that can be adjusted by the system, such as body shape, but will the minutiae things like tooth shape be... exactly the same?

The hand holding the handle of the knife slowly tightened, Ye Mu stood up abruptly, put the knife back into its sheath, and walked out without stopping.Grabbing the black cloak on the side, and putting it on with his hands, he was already out the door.He raised his hand to put on the hood of the cloak, and the expression on his handsome face was also hidden in the shadow of the hood of the cloak.

Let's check around the forest again.If it is really a monster, it should be more active at night than during the day.

And if it is a "player"...

Will it be a normal human being who does something like "cannibalism"?

Regardless, it's worth the trip again.

It was already late at night, and the waiter at the opposite restaurant nodded and bowed to see off the last batch of guests. When he straightened up and yawned and was about to close the door, he saw the strange guest come out of the hostel opposite, got on his horse and galloped away. There was a sound of horseshoes on the quiet street at night.

The shop clerk glanced at the empty street, just in time to see what seemed to be a dark shadow looming out of the inn.He took a closer look and saw that there was no one on the street, so he rubbed his eyes and shut the door with a bang.

There was a real silence in the street.

During the epidemic, no one is in the mood to go out late at night.

While the horse was galloping, Ye Mu always felt that something was wrong, as if... he was being watched by something.But he turned his head several times, but he didn't see any suspicious signs, and only the sound of his riding echoed in the middle of the night.

The weather is not good tonight, and I can't see very far with my eyesight alone. There is nothing abnormal on the called-up map.Ye Mu felt that it might be because of the speculation about the "player" that made him a little uneasy, but he still raised his vigilance.

After turning a corner, Ye Musheng stopped the horse.It didn't take a moment to put away Chasing Wind, untie the cloak that was in the way and put it back into the package, and jumped up a dense tree, hiding his figure among the dense branches and leaves without even touching a single leaf.

Whether it is an illusion or not, you will know after waiting quietly.

Since there is a possibility of encountering the same "player", it is not a big mistake to be careful when you don't know whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend.

Ye Mu waited quietly among the branches, watching the way closely, and controlled every breath slowly and long.

After waiting for a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

There were no new spots of light on the map, but Ye Mu confirmed that he heard the faint sound of horseshoes.

The voice gradually approached, and the rhythm was quite leisurely.Then the hooves stopped not far from the bend.

From Ye Mu's perspective, he still couldn't see the situation there.But he still waited motionless.The atmosphere in the forest seemed to stand still for a moment.

A figure walked into Ye Mu's field of vision from the other side of the road.I couldn't see the attire clearly, it looked like a suit of armor, with a knife in his hand, walking at a leisurely pace.

The man walked towards Ye Mu for a few steps, then stopped, and said:

"Since you're waiting here on purpose, why don't you show up?" He laughed, "Isn't this a suitable way to meet?"

It's like knowing that Ye Mu is here.

Ye Mu's eyes darkened.He recognized who it was.

This voice impressed him deeply. It was the mysterious "Jiang Shaoxia" that night.

From the other party's words, it can be seen that the other party has confirmed his identity, so Ye Mu simply stopped hiding, turned over from the tree, and landed in front of Jiang Wang without a sound.

Ye Mu asked: "Jiang Shaoxia followed me all the way here, what advice do you have?"

While speaking, Ye Mu looked at Jiang Wang calmly, and was slightly taken aback when he recognized the mask on Jiang Wang's face.

This is... Li Gui met Li Kui, met someone who is serious about the Palace of Seven Kills?

Ye Mu thought of Tian Jingtong's strange eyes when he looked at him. Although it was abnormal, it didn't look like he knew that he was not a real disciple of the Palace of Seven Kills.

Immediately afterwards, as if to confirm what Ye Mu thought, Jiang Wang said:

"I'm just curious... what methods will the people in the 'Seven Killing Palace' use to collect information and complete their missions."

Jiang Wang, who was dressed in a standard Qishadian-style armor, said so, and anyone could hear the meaning of the three words "Qishadian" in his words.

Sure enough, it was discovered.Ye Mu thought about it, but he didn't panic much.Strictly speaking, whether it is martial arts moves or weapons and equipment, even in terms of system reputation, he should indeed be regarded as a disciple of the Seven Killing Palace... although not the Seven Killing Palace in this world.

What's more, the other party may not really be a member of the Palace of Seven Kills.

The characters that cannot be displayed on the map, based on the information Ye Mu has collected so far, there are two conjectures, one is the "spiritual creature" of this world, and the other is the "player" of the game world.

Maybe there are other circumstances that he doesn't know, but no matter what, the other party always looks far from the "normal" Seven Killing Palace disciples.

Ye Mu said: "I just tried my best. The last time I had a quick look at Baicao Hall, Jiang Shaoxia also impressed me deeply."

The subtext is: You are also acting suspiciously in Baicaotang, we have the same number of handles, no one can control the other.

Jiang Wang obviously heard Ye Mu's implication, he didn't get too entangled in this matter, but changed his tone a little bit, and said: "We are also destined, the matter you are investigating I just have some clues, answer me a question, and I will tell you the information, how about it?"

Even though he was fully on guard against the opponent's sudden attack, Ye Mu couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this moment.He likes this straight-forward transaction method, making demands, putting the conditions on the table, and then leaving it to the other party to choose.Maybe he can gain more benefits in the transaction by beating around the bush, but he doesn't like that kind of transaction method, and on the contrary, he will have stricter requirements on the other party.And the first one to see through this point and skillfully avoid the minefield in the deal with him was He Liang.

At that moment just now, when the other party proposed a deal, his tone of voice was very similar to that of He Liang.But at the beginning, He Liang used this method to make a deal with him. It can also be said that it was because he had figured out his temper during the chat outside Shengyang City that night.As a well-thought-out disciple of the Hall of Seven Killers, what was the reason for this "Jiang Shaoxia" to propose such a straightforward deal, contrary to the character he had shown all along?

If it is based on observation, it is really excellent intelligence gathering ability.The opponent's intelligence may really be worth looking forward to.

After a pause, Ye Mu said, "...what do you want to ask?"

Jiang Wang put the knife back into the scabbard and laughed, "I heard that Ye Shaoxia is looking for the technique of bringing the dead back to life. I'm curious about the reason."

Ye Mu was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I want to revive a friend."

This is the second time he has mentioned his purpose to others since Wen Zhuang.In fact, he shouldn't have answered.Asking him to answer this question to others is equivalent to letting him recall the blood-stained Xitang, the pale moonlight, and He Liang's torn face that night.He told Wen Zhuang that it was very possible that the clue to the "impermanence" technique of resurrection was on the other party.But now, it's just a commission, just a possibly insignificant piece of information, such a transaction is completely worthless to him.

But by coincidence, he still said it.Maybe it was because of the momentary nostalgia just now that he couldn't help but relax his defenses, so he couldn't think of refusing?

Jiang Wang seemed to be very interested in this question, and asked persistently, "I wonder what the name of Ye Shaoxia's friend is?"

Ye Mu looked at Jiang Wang, paused for a long time before saying, "His name is... He Liang."

After the voice fell, the forest fell into a strange silence.

Jiang Wang didn't know why, but suddenly he didn't say a word.

Rao Ye Mu was in an extremely bad mood right now, and after the silence lasted not long, he also noticed the other party's abnormality.He was about to ask, but he heard a laugh.

"Ah."

It was the kind of ironic laughter that was really funny.Jiang Wang laughed out loud, his voice full of indisputable malice.He laughed loudly, and said mockingly: "He Liang? You mean He Liang? More than dead..."

The word "Gu" stopped abruptly before he could utter it, Jiang Wang stopped his laughter hastily, and turned sideways in embarrassment, avoiding the sword light that was slashed in his face.Dodging left and right dodging the rain-like continuous attacks, he found a space and then drew out his two knives to block the incoming long knives with a clang, but his retreating body also slammed into a tree heavily.

Through the intertwined cold fronts, Ye Muju looked down at Jiang Wang, with a bloodthirsty expression on his usually expressionless face.The power transmitted from the forcing blade was astonishing.

Ye Mu said calmly:

"shut up."
