"Have you heard, this time it's the Zhou's children's turn."

"He just came of age yesterday, if he was born a few days later, maybe this would not be the case."

"It's all life."

There were rustling conversations outside the door, and several women were standing at the door with the laundry to be washed and talking in a low voice.

He was quickly chased away by the people at the end of the corridor. He suppressed his voice with glaring eyes: "The Holy Son is still resting, stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm sorry High Priest."

Several women resigned obediently. It is a great honor to serve the Holy Son. Moreover, the work is easy and the money is high. No one wants to lose this job.

Until the sound outside the door disappeared and there was no one, Chen Li, who had been sitting upright on the bed, finally moved uncomfortably. He tugged at his big white sleeve: [001, what's the situation now? 】

001: [The background of this world is very complicated. There is a bit of modernity but also ancient and medieval. Your current identity is the holy son of this town. 】

Chen Li tugged at the gold jewelry hanging on his body, feeling a little uncomfortable: [The clothes on my body can't be women's clothes, right? 】

It looked like a shrine maiden's clothes, although it was tightly covered, but the legs underneath were actually bare, and there were no pants to wear.

001 comforted him: 【No, this is neutral. 】

Chen Li let out an "oh", couldn't help tugging at the hem of his clothes again, and thoughtfully asked what he wanted to know the most: [Where are the players? 】

He was a little panicked, he didn't know why his task panel was broken after coming to this world, and there was no task prompt.

Fortunately, the system was with him, but unfortunately the system didn't know much.

001: [The identity of the player should be a detective who came to this town to investigate. 】

【detective? 】Chen Li blinked in surprise.

It seems that the background of this world is indeed very messy.

[I don't know what their mission is. ] 001 Weiwei is sorry, 【You need to find out by yourself. 】

Chen Li still bent his eyes and smiled: [Thank you 001. 】

001's white light ball body turned pink again, twitching to show that it's okay.

Except for the small noise outside the door at noon, no one passed by here, as if everyone had forgotten this room.

Seeing him bubbling in boredom, 001 proactively asked: [Do you want to watch a movie? 】

Chen Li thought for a while and nodded: [I want to watch Doraemon theatrical version. 】

Then one person and one system relished watching the sun go down during the day, until they had dinner, and finally a virgin timidly brought it to the door.

If Chen Li hadn't called her to stop quickly, she would have turned around and ran fast.

Even so, when she was stopped, she still didn't dare to turn her head back, she shook her shoulders slightly and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Li, who came from behind with a heavy skirt and bulky, touched his face suspiciously. Is it so scary?

He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice more gentle: "Do you know where the high priest has gone?"

This is the address he heard those women call today, so let's just throw out a random topic in order to keep her.

Sure enough, the virgin stopped trembling, and seriously thought about his words.

Obviously she was told not to have too much contact with the Holy Son in the house, but unfortunately she was too young to be easily deceived.

As an adult, Chen Li reflected for three seconds on how he deceived a child.

The virgin recalled it for a long time, and gave a very vague answer: "It seems that he went to see the sacrifice this time."

"Sacrifice?" Chen Li pretended to be surprised.

The virgin's voice was clear and clear: "This time it's the turn of the young master of Zhou's family in the town to sacrifice!"

There was a thunder in the sky.

The virgin girl was startled, and her face turned pale with her back to Chen Li: "I, I can't say any more, I'm leaving."

No matter how Chen Li shouted this time, she quickly ran away from the corner.

The heavy saint's costume on his body hindered Chen Li's movement. When he caught up to the corner again, he didn't see the virgin, but bumped into the high priest who had just returned in a hurry.

The high priest wore a wooden mask on his face, with several realistic eyes drawn on it, he grabbed Chen Li's shoulders with such strength that he seemed to embed them in: "Holy Son, how could you run out without permission! ?”

Chen Li showed a pained expression: "I just came out for a walk."

He looked at the mask of the high priest, and for a moment he couldn't tell which one was the real eye.

The high priest let go of him slowly: "It will soon be time to worship the shrine, there can be no mistakes, please go back."

Chen Li responded to these words, turned around obediently and left, the moment he turned around, he saw the high priest's feet covered with dirty sand.

Without any objection, he picked up the slightly cold dinner and turned into the room.

The high priest walked over suspiciously to make sure that he had no intention of leaving before finally leaving with peace of mind.

Chen Li, who was eating dinner, saw the tall figure walking back and forth outside the door, and felt even more weird in his heart: [Since you are so afraid of me going out of this room, why don't you just lock me up? 】

Maybe he wasn't restricted in his actions, it was just the high priest's personal wish not to go out, and he didn't have the right to ask himself so.

As the moonlight darkened, Chen Li still didn't want to act alone at night, so he gave up the idea of ​​going out and decided to talk about it tomorrow.

...

As expected, Chen Li slipped out after lunch the next day, and the few people he met on the way also respectfully saluted him, and no one would stop him.

He just needs to hide in the room before the eccentric and paranoid High Priest returns.

The concept of human class here is very deep, no one dares to look up and look at Chen Li, so he can only stop a person to ask where the detective from his town is.

The person who was stopped was very frightened, and he lowered his head and refused to answer directly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the high priest won't let us talk to you."

He didn't want to lose the job, so he could only repeat this sentence all the time.

That girl said the same thing yesterday.Chen Li frowned: "Why didn't the high priest let you talk to me?"

That NPC is really weird.

The man shook his head vigorously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It's useless to embarrass such a passer-by NPC, Chen Li sighed and let go, looking for other targets.

With the lesson learned from the past, everyone backed away quickly when he approached this time to avoid direct contact with him, and the surrounding suddenly became empty.

Chen Li who didn't have time to ask anything: "..."

No one wanted to tell him, but when Chen Li was debating for a long time whether to wear this ostentatious outfit and go directly to the town to find players, there was a sudden loud noise from the gate.

He immediately lifted the hem of his clothes curiously and walked over to have a look, and sure enough, he saw several out-of-place figures—players in modern clothes.

He pretended not to notice the strangeness on them, and asked with a sullen face, "What's wrong?"

Those players just watched the guard who was still domineering to them change his face in an instant, and said with a flattering smile: "Holy Son."

They winked at each other, and no one dared to talk to him more.

In the eyes of the players, this kind of attitude makes Chen Li a man of dignity and status, making the NPCs here afraid to talk to him.

One of the elder brothers, who was wearing a black vest and showed a big flower arm, spoke first: "We are detectives who are here to investigate missing persons. I wonder if we can talk to you."

Unexpectedly, they would directly reveal what they were here for. Chen Li's eyes lit up slightly, and he restrained himself from smiling: "Well, come with me."

The guard was dumbfounded. The high priest didn't say what to do in such a situation.

After struggling for a while, seeing that the group of them had already entered, the guard gritted his teeth: "Forget it, no one is allowed to tell what happened today!"

Chen Li led them back to his room, and the speed was slow due to the inconvenience of movement, and no one dared to speak out to urge them.

Chen Li: "How do you prove your identities?"

The player was stunned, identity?This still needs proof?

In the past, no matter what role they played, no matter how out of place the NPC would believe it, why did this NPC not play cards according to common sense.

The flower-armed man: "How do you want us to prove it?"

While talking with them, Chen Li observed everyone.

First of all, three female players and another old man who seemed to have reached retirement age were excluded, leaving only three male players.

One has a big flower tattoo on his arm, the other wears a big colorful shirt, and the last one is only 1.6 meters. No one looks like Fu Moyan.

Didn't he follow in this world?

Chen Li blinked nervously, feeling a little at a loss for this cognizant.

But, he still has paintings that he wants to share with him.

The man in the flowered shirt made up stories so dryly, just to make Chen Li really believe that they were detectives, but when he raised his head, he found that he was distracted.

The man in the floral shirt was angry, but he didn't dare to show it.

001 issued a reminder: [The high priest is back. 】

Chen Li stood up abruptly, his face suddenly darkened: "Go out."

He stayed with Fu Mozhen for a long time, and he actually learned a little bit of his aura, which would make these players stunned for a while.

They didn't expect that they came to collect clues, but they didn't get the clues, but handed over all their basic information.

What else did they want to fight for, Chen Li opened the door: "You can still come over at this time tomorrow."

This finally dispelled their idea of ​​continuing.

When they were far away, Chen Li closed the door and tiptoed back to the bed to lie down.

【Where is he now? 】

001: [Come here. 】

Thinking of those strange eyes, Chen Li was so frightened that he pretended to sleep.

Soon, steady footsteps sounded outside the door.

The visitor easily pushed open the door, and quickly walked to his bedside with a bit of coldness.

Chen Li tried his best to keep his breathing steady, and the hands in his wide sleeves were already clenched tightly.

The high priest's cold eyes slid across his feet, hands, abdomen, and finally his face. After staring at him for a long time, he let out a cold snort, turned and left.

Chen Li heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of his tightly clenched hands.

001 suddenly shouted: [Wait! 】

It's a pity that the body reacted faster than the brain, and the trembling eyelids opened in the next second. Chen Li looked straight at the crooked eyes from the previous lesson, so close that he was a little out of focus.

The eyes blinked maliciously at him-caught, got, you, got it.
