femme fatale [unlimited]

Ning Mianmian's hair stood on end for a moment, she quickly looked around and found that there was no place to hide in the kitchen.Her gaze fell on the window. If she forced her way through the window, it would be feasible, but she would definitely be noticed by Sister Cao and the others.

Although I don't know if there will be any consequences if being discovered by ordinary villagers, the player's speed is much faster than that of ordinary NPCs. Now that the road is so dark, at most you can only see their backs flashing by, and you should not be able to tell whether they are who...

At this time, the sound of footsteps and talking and laughing was getting closer and closer, and they had already reached the door of the kitchen.

Ning Mianmian didn't think of a better way. Just as she was about to move, she saw the [Purgatory] on Lin Cen's wrist winding away rapidly. The black ribbon was like a spirit snake, swimming out from the gap in the window, and then There was a loud bang, as if something piled up had been brought down.

The footsteps at the door stopped suddenly, and Sister Cao seemed to be used to accidents, after all, the villagers were well aware of the task assigned by the priest.She acted very calmly, and said to the people around her: "Someone is making trouble again, mom, go out and have a look first."

The male voice responded obediently, "Understood, I will go with my mother."

"Good boy." Sister Cao sighed, "Two people died today, what a crime."

The sound of footsteps sounded again, and gradually drifted away.

Ning Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Lin Cen was trying to give them a chance to escape without attracting others' attention.

Lin Cen picked up the severed hand in the pot, looked carefully, then put it back, and said to Ning Mianmian, "Let's go."

Sister Cao and the others cleaned up the mess in the backyard, and the two slipped out of the front yard smoothly.

From entering the kitchen to completing the task and escaping, it only took 5 minutes, but because the process was a bit exciting, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Ning Mianmian's forehead.When the cold wind blows, it feels cool.

She took a deep breath, the cold air calmed her down a lot.She took Lin Cen's hand, and walked with her to the residence together as if nothing had happened, as if the two of them just came out for a walk by chance.

Under the cover of the night, [Purgatory] walked back silently, and wrapped around Lin Cen's wrist again, docilely.

Ning Mianmian asked Lin Cen curiously: "Sister, what did you let it down just now?"

Lin Cen said, "When I came here just now, I saw a pile of firewood in the corner of the backyard."

Ning Mianmian admired it very much. Being able to notice things in the corner of the yard in such a short period of time, and quickly use them when a crisis came, required extremely high insight and responsiveness.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the living room.The fire was burning brightly, and the room was as warm as spring, in stark contrast to the cold outside.

Yu Chuqing and Rongrong haven't come back yet, only Luo Fu and Jiang Wan are in the room.

Ning Mianmian put the [Fragment No. [-]] she had just obtained on the wooden coffee table, making a muffled blunt sound.

Love held [Fragment No. [-]] and [Fragment No. [-]] and put it together, and was a little surprised to find that the shapes of the breaks of the two fragments fit very well, and they could be put together.

As for the [fragment Part [-]] Yu Chuqing kept it, so it is not possible to try splicing it for the time being.

After putting together [Fragment No. [-]] and [Fragment No. [-]], a sharp corner and a short side are formed. It seems to be a part of a thick cuboid, but I can't tell what it is, so I can only wait for Yu Chuqing Let's talk when we come back.

Ning Mianmian recounted in detail what happened to the severed limb found in the cauldron. After hearing this, Luo Fu and Jiang Wan both showed disgusted expressions on their faces.

Lin Cen added: "There are four hands in the pot. They belong to a man and a woman. They are still fresh, but judging from the state of the incision, the bleeding is not much. They should be cut off after death."

Jiang Wan murmured, "Not long after it was chopped off, it was done after death. Therefore, these severed limbs probably belonged to the villagers who were condemned to death today."

Ning Mianmian thought of those bones that had been bitten in the back mountain, and a thought came to her mind.Could it be that the man-eating nightmare is at Sister Cao's house?

But after thinking about it, she immediately denied this idea. They just discovered the existence of the cannibal nightmare in the morning, and found the severed limb in the task target's home after dark. trap.

And if it is stored in a pot, it means that these severed limbs are used as cooking ingredients.Besides, there are many ways to deal with the leftover human bones. It is unreasonable to eat them generously at home and then throw the bones into the swamp in the back mountain.

Apparently other people thought so too, Love said: "Even if the coincidence of finding the severed limb and other unreasonable factors are ignored, there is still one most critical issue."

"The person who put the severed limbs in the pot seems to want to create an illusion. The reason why the corpses are consumed so quickly is because Sister Cao's whole family is eating them. But if this is the case, how can everyone not be killed by the evil spirits if they eat corpses every day?" How about discovering and successfully escaping the scourge?"

Lin Cen nodded, "That's right, Yan belongs to the boss's side after all, and it's their mission to harm the villagers, and they may even be the leader of the scourge, and they should not be punished for eating corpses. It’s all nightmares, this is inherently contradictory.”

"So I think that someone put the severed limbs into the cauldron of Sister Cao's house before the mission started to lure us into the bait. Sister Cao's family didn't know about it. Just take out the severed limb."

"As for the reason for doing this..."

Lin Cen looked up at the thick night outside the window, the light flickered, cutting her expression blurred, "It's trying to confuse the sight and cover up the real cannibal."

***

Following the marks left by the props, Yu Chuqing led Rongrong all the way to Liang Cheng's location.

This place is different from what they imagined. It is a small two-story building with a spacious yard. It is comfortable and clean, and a bit more luxurious than their residence.

It's more like a vacation than an incarceration.

There are many villagers guarding the front and back of the courtyard. They hold weapons and torches in their hands. They are bright red in the night, which is very conspicuous. At first glance, they have a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

This level of guards naturally couldn't stop Yu Chuqing and Rongrong, but it was hard to imagine how Liang Cheng could bypass these guards and escape successfully with his physical and mental state.

After successfully sneaking into the building, his vision suddenly became dim.

The lights in the living room were not turned on, and by the light of the torches outside the window, the looming outlines of the furniture could be seen.

Liang Cheng's residence seemed to be cleaned by a special person. It was very neat and clean, without a trace of dust.

The two searched from room to room, and finally found the target in the corner of the second floor.

A lamp was lit in the room at the end of the corridor, and the light leaked through the half-hidden door, casting a narrow strip of light on the floor.

Yu Chuqing walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked lightly.

Two seconds later, a hoarse male voice came from inside, "Come in."

Yu Chuqing pushed the door open and entered, Fluffy followed closely behind her, and closed the door behind her.

Here is a spacious bedroom, with several oil lamps lit on the table, the light is extraordinarily bright.

Liang Chengcheng sat on the chair opposite the bed and looked straight over.He was still dressed in the sloppy clothes of the day, which looked very abrupt in the tidy surroundings.

Looking at his strands of sticky hair, Fluffy couldn't help it, and said directly: "It's such a good place, can't you take a bath?"

Yu Chuqing covered her mouth and pulled her behind her.For some reason, she felt that Liang Cheng's current state was different from what they saw during the day.

At least, he looks like he can communicate normally now.

She lowered her voice, "Mr. Liang, my sister is ignorant and offended."

Liang Cheng looked at the two of them, but he was not angry, but just smiled inexplicably.

He said: "In one's life, the skin is just something outside the body, so there is no need to get too entangled."

Yu Chuqing followed him and said, "I think so too, the inside is more important than the outside."

She paused, and then continued: "I think Mr. Liang is an extraordinary and refined person. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

After Liang Cheng heard this, his expression didn't change, but he didn't refuse either, "Say it."

Yu Chuqing said: "Mr. Liang told us during the day that everyone is a bad person. What's the meaning behind that?"

Liang Cheng replied: "It's just a feeling. Everyone in the world is good at disguising. On the surface, they are upright and dignified, but when they go to places where no one sees, they will put on another ugly face. Everyone is different from the outside. yes, isn't it?"

Yu Chuqing thought of the weird missions assigned by the priests, and neither admitted nor denied them.

Liang Cheng lowered his voice, and his voice became even hoarse, "I guess you still want to ask why I was locked up here."

Yu Chuqing said, "If possible."

"Because I am the god here, everything in Utopia is under my control." Liang Cheng stared at her with a secretive tone, and then a moment of confusion appeared on his face.

Yu Chuqing is very familiar with this expression. Many players will have a similar reaction when their SAN value drops to a certain level, which is a sign of an unstable mental state.

She didn't open her mouth to answer, but just quietly waited for the other party to continue talking.

Liang Cheng's eyes gradually became confused, "It's just that I seem to have lost something important, but I can't remember it. That's why I'm stuck here."

Yu Chuqing thought for a while, and an idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

She opened the backpack, took out the thick shard of glass that she had obtained from the previous mission, and held it in her palm.

The glass surface reflects the lights, presenting a colorful and magnificent color.

Yu Chuqing tentatively asked, "Is this what you're looking for?"

Liang Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he got up and was about to step forward.As if he had received some wonderful traction, he almost jumped forward.

But Yu Chuqing's movements were faster, and she had already put the fragments back a second before Liang Cheng approached.

Then she took two steps back and distanced herself a little.

Liang Chengcheng stood one meter away from her, his eyes were filled with eager expressions, he was almost a different person from when he first came.

His tone was eager: "Where did you find it? Is there any other part? Can you help me continue to look for it?"

Yu Chuqing thought for a while, and said an answer that was like saying nothing, "It's in the village. I can help, but not for free."

"No problem, I can pay you. As soon as I saw it, I thought that was what I was looking for. Although I can't remember it now, I have a strong intuition."

He opened his mouth slowly, looking back and forth at Yu Chuqing, "But it seems to be incomplete now, if you find them all for me, we can discuss with you what conditions you have."

As Liang Cheng's voice fell, the game panel popped up in front of his eyes:

[Accept the main task, collect all six fragments to synthesize the original, and hand it over to Liang Cheng (0/1). 】

Yu Chuqing stared at him, "Conditions? No matter what the conditions are, can you satisfy me?"

A trace of sadness appeared in Liang Cheng's eyes, and he sighed: "In my current state, it's true that I can't do many things, but at least I can help you to a certain extent."

After he finished speaking, he rubbed his temples, and there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes, as if he was dizzy and uncomfortable.

Yu Chuqing said calmly, "Aren't you afraid... the priest is looking for trouble for you?"

"With her?" Liang Cheng sneered, "She is a priest, but I am a god. Even if I lose for a while, she can't do anything to me."
