The completely lit sky showed a beautiful water blue, and there was no trace of haze anymore.

And that dilapidated house was gradually engulfed by the thick fog that filled behind him, and quickly disappeared before his eyes.

Yitu was in a complicated mood, and slowly withdrew his gaze, followed Xu Heng and the others, and walked towards the next code point.

The three talked while walking, and the speed was not slow.

Soon Xu Heng figured out the ins and outs of the game under Yitu and Huasan's retelling.

This is indeed an unexpected tragedy, but the tragedy itself is caused by a murderer who has never been seen or heard.

Since the host does not stay at home all year round, even the delicate hostess deliberately hangs the host's clothes in the courtyard to create traces of life in order to guard against thieves and thieves.

But this still couldn't prevent the insidious and cunning murderer from squatting on purpose, so that he sneaked in quietly while the hostess couldn't see the situation in the yard.

He hid under the mistress's bed, and while the mistress was asleep, he stabbed someone to death and threw him into the well, and the child was not spared either.

And the host who hadn't received a letter from his wife for a long time also sensed that something was wrong, and hurried home, but the murderer didn't leave, and even waited for his arrival in the yard.

In the end, the male master was sewn into a half-human, half-dog monster by a murderer without the slightest bit of humanity, and was chained to the yard to starve to death.

And the final ending of this story, although it points out the fate of the murderer, does not tell the player the real reason for the death of the murderer.

Rather than saying that the ending of this story seems to be doing justice, it is better to say that the death of the murderer is more like a hint easter egg given to them by the game.

"How do you define death for the dead?" Huasan murmured.

Yitu didn't speak, but subconsciously glanced at Xu Heng.

There was no expression on Xu Heng's face, and then he didn't know what to think of, and suddenly showed a funny look, and shook his head.

"What does it mean? It wants to tell us that death is an unexpected accident?"

The mistress is, the hero is, even the murderer, who signifies death itself.

They are all beings fooled by the God of Destiny. They know the fragility and twists and turns of life, but they don't know where life will end.

He has his own thoughts, but he cannot control his own life and death.

"It felt like a joke."

As the three of them walked, they saw a long river suddenly appearing in front of them.

Xu Heng looked at the big river stretching into the distance, representing the unknown, and thought of Ou Cheng's death for no reason, and laughed at himself.

Yitu didn't speak, and Huasan walked forward in silence.

Sometimes, you have to admit a fact.

Death is never an adjective they define, but a verb that defines them.

---------------

Walking along the river for almost half an hour, they saw a rather lonely village.

At the same time, the slender river gradually became wider and its depth became unmeasurable to the naked eye.

"The second password point is very likely to be related to water." Huasan said uncertainly.

"should be."

Yitu looked around the surrounding environment, only one house near the river on the left was occupied, it looked like a little girl in a red padded jacket was playing in the yard.

"Let's go and have a look first."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the family, and the other two followed.

It wasn't until they got close that they realized that the little girl they saw from a distance was not playing in the yard, but lying on the ground with a strange appearance, gurgling and moving forward like a caterpillar.

And her hands and feet were all wrapped by the overly long sleeves, and only a little bit of grayish white skin could be vaguely seen.

Yitu frowned and looked seriously, just when he was about to walk over to see the girl's face clearly, an old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't touch her!"

The three of them were startled and looked up subconsciously.

I saw an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face standing at the door, looking at them with a slightly gloomy expression.

Before the three of them could react, the old woman had already come over and picked up the little girl from the ground, but she still didn't let them see her face.

Using her rough hands with age spots, she carefully tucked up the little girl's cuffs, then raised her head to look at them.

"Isn't the time we agreed on at four o'clock in the afternoon?" The old woman turned around and entered the house with the child in her arms, beckoning the three of them to follow:

"You guys are here early."

Yitu and Huasan exchanged glances, Xu Heng had already followed in.

"The situation here is a bit special. Don't look at me as a dirty and ugly old woman. After the matter is completed, I will give you all the money."

The old woman carried the child into the back room, and the old voice came intermittently.

"And the only thing you have to do is..."

"Kill the fish."

The old woman came out of the house at some point and stood at the door, looking at them with eyes as calm as stagnant water.

Xu Heng didn't react, and was taken aback: "Kill the fish?"

The old woman glanced at him, nodded and said again:

"Kill the fish."

The old woman spoke very little, and hardly explained anything to them. She asked Yitu and the three of them whether to sleep in the same room or separately.

The three of them thought for a while, and decided to sleep in the same room, so as not to repeat the incident at the last password point.

The old woman nodded, and then led them to the door of the room on the left in the back room, and said:

"The bed in the room is a double bed. I'll come back later and make a small bed for you. It should be enough for you to sleep in."

"You guys came a little early today, and I have nothing to say. Except for your own room, it's best not to run around anywhere."

"And..." The old woman paused, then said in a deep voice:

"Don't get close to that river, let alone try to enter the water, otherwise something will happen...it can't be saved."

After the old lady said this, she was going to go back to the house to rest, but Yitu subconsciously called her.

"Wait!"

The old woman looked up at him in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Yitu thought about it and said:

"I want to ask, what do you mean when you say let's kill the fish... When do we start killing the fish?"

The old woman smiled when she heard this, "You will find out at night."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and entered the back room, leaving Yitu and the others alone.

"Weird." Xu Heng frowned.

Huasan pondered for a moment, and said, "She doesn't look like a ghost NPC like Lao Chen, she is probably a plot NPC."

Because only the plot NPC will remind them of the precautions, so as to play a guiding role.

Yitu nodded, "She may not be a ghost NPC, but the little girl she took away probably is."

"Let's ignore that child, let's go out and have a look."

"Okay." Xu Heng nodded.

Although it was daytime when they arrived at the second password point, they still couldn't see the slightest sunlight, and the thick cloud cover came down at some point, and the people who were pressed down really couldn't breathe.

With the old woman's warning, the flower umbrella did not get too close to the river, and observed for a while from five meters away.

Xu Heng at the side opened the game panel smoothly. After the task bar was shrunk, the first thing that popped up was the player's game location map.

The position of the second circle point on the icon at this moment is showing the names of the three of them.

On the line opposite to them, the names of the Night King and others have left the second code point and are heading towards the third code point.

So far, none of the Night King trio have been eliminated.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for them.

If the three Night Kings can also successfully pass the second code point, it means that the difficulty of the second code point is not very high, at least it is impossible for the second round of group destruction to occur.

And in the same way, if this trend continues, there is a high probability that the three Night Kings will survive to the last level.

At that time, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

Thinking of this, Xu Heng's heart beat faster unknowingly.

He looked at the other two branches, the one on the left was slower than the Night King, but luckily none of the three died.

As for the branch line on the right, after passing through the second password point, there were only two of them left.

This means that the second code point is not much simpler than the first code point, and even more dangerous.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a normal high-level player to be eliminated while holding three resurrection cards and three props.

While Xu Heng was looking at the map, Yitu had already come back from the courtyard, and even picked up a small dead branch.

"I didn't dare to go too deep, but the houses around the old lady are all empty." Yitu said to Huasan, "Let's go and have a look later."

Huasan nodded, and took the branch from Yitu's hand.

"Maybe it will be an empty village, and the night will be difficult."

While talking, the flower umbrella threw the branch in her hand into the river vigorously, making a crisp "click".

The branch sank into the water due to inertia, and soon floated up again, floating on the water.

Yitu and the others stared at the water surface, but no one spoke, and the surroundings were extremely quiet for a while.

They waited for a while, but nothing strange happened except for the ripples on the water and the reflections of the branches.

Xu Heng clicked his tongue softly, "It seems that the branch is not good, I have to find something else to try, there is probably something under here."

Huasan agreed, "Then let's go in and see what's going on."

The three of them stopped caring about the river behind them and walked towards the village.

After walking a few steps, Yitu still didn't give up, and turned his head again to look at the place where they threw the twigs just now.

The piece of dead wood was still floating quietly on the surface of the water, but it was not known whether it was due to the wind or the current, the position deviated a little.

Other than that, there was still no movement.

Just when Yitu wanted to give up and turned his head, the branch was suddenly dragged into the water by something, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yitu was shocked, the speed of the thing was so fast that he could only see a long row of densely packed and extremely thin teeth.
