femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 135
The backyard was noisy for a while, and then gradually quieted down.
The two little pigs probably realized that they had been caught in a trap, so they had to stay where they were, not daring to move.
When everyone went out, they saw such a scene.
The two little flower pigs lay pitifully side by side on the ground, as if the words "Let it go" were written all over their bodies.
Lin Cen knelt down and asked, "Are you here to do the mission?"
Little Huazhu nodded with difficulty.
"I can transform you back." Lin Cen narrowed his eyes, "But no matter what I ask, you must answer truthfully, otherwise I will transform you back again."
Little Hua Zhu nodded again.
Lin Cen's timing was very good, and within a few seconds of finishing speaking, the two little pigs returned to their human form.
After seeing their faces clearly, Ning Mianmian was surprised to find that she had met these two people before. One was Xiaoxiang who lived next door to them, and the other was Xie Ting who had chatted by the river before.
The two girls almost wept with joy when they transformed back, sobbing and embracing each other.It looked like he had been greatly frightened just now, thinking that he had suffered another kind of divine punishment.
Ning Mianmian couldn't bear to see it, she asked: "Have you completed your mission?"
The content of the left and right tasks will not be too much, but if it is not completed, it will not end well. She does not want to implicate innocent NPCs because of this matter.
The two nodded repeatedly, "It's done, it's done."
Fluffy asked in surprise, "You can still do tasks after becoming a pig?"
Xiao Xiang said: "...No, it turned into a pig suddenly after finishing the mission, it scared me to death."
Love suppressed a laugh from the side, and explained to Rong Rong in a low voice: "This kind of tricky prop is just for fun, and it is generally not too accurate, and sometimes there will be a little delay."
Without waiting for others to ask questions, the two suspects actively explained the content of their tasks.
Xiaoxiang: "My task is to add laxatives to the chicken feed."
Xie Ting: "Mine is to scare the chicken when it lays eggs."
Ning Mianmian: ...
No wonder the chicken was flying like a dog just now, it seems that the chicken was also scared.
When Rongrong heard the word "laxative", she felt guilty for no reason, and almost didn't dare to look the two girls in the eye.Then she thought that the chickens were innocent, so she dragged Yu Chuqing to the chicken coop, intending to change all the feed in the feed trough.
Love politely invited the two villagers into the house, and even poured a cup of hot water for each of them to calm them down.The two girls held the cups tremblingly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.
Love saw the nervousness of the two, and smiled gently, "Relax, we are all villagers, and some things can be understood by each other. But we are new here, and there are still some things we want to ask for advice."
After she finished speaking, the faces of the two girls relaxed a lot.
The villagers are all doing tasks, this is something everyone knows well, even if they find out, they just turn a blind eye.It's just that the sudden transformation into a pig is still a bit shocking.
Xie Ting boldly said: "Then, you can ask."
Love said: "Can you tell me something about the village? Just say what comes to mind."
The two girls cooperated very well, and immediately you talked to each other.
In their description, Utopia is a paradise-like place.The folk customs here are simple and honest, people live and work in peace and contentment, and they can easily create enough wealth with their own hands, and no one is short of food and clothing.
Everyone has long been accustomed to those weird tasks and unpredictable times.Can live in such a beautiful place, what is this small episode?Just make an effort to get used to it.
And the tasks are not always very frequent. Generally, after completing the last task, it will be a few days before the task is redistributed.Sometimes there is even an interval of one or two weeks, giving the villagers enough buffer time.
In addition, many people in Utopia are naturally inspired and can easily perceive the existence of evil spirits.As long as the task is completed when there are no evil spirits approaching, you can live a carefree life like this.
Xiaoxiang couldn't help sighing when she mentioned this, "Xie Ting and I also have inspirations. But recently, the concentration of evil spirits seems to have increased, and the difficulty of completing tasks has increased. Some people with low inspiration were discovered by evil spirits. Then I was condemned by God. But how to say this kind of thing, after all, I made a mistake first, and I can’t blame anyone.”
She emphasized in a low voice: "Don't tell others that I told you this. There is an unwritten rule in the village. Don't tell newcomers about tasks. You have to understand it yourself."
Ning Mianmian understood.In most cases, the original group has reservations about the arrival of the newcomer, and will not dig out their hearts and souls as soon as they come up, even in the so-called Utopia.
Xie Ting said: "Don't blame everyone, the priest doesn't seem to like us discussing about missions. She has a weird temper and we are all afraid."
Ning Mianmian smiled: "Don't worry, we can understand everyone's difficulties."
It seems that the nature of the role played by Suzuki is different from theirs.They are newcomers who have just entered Utopia, and the role of the other party is a very prestigious priest who has always existed in the village.If you think about it this way, the role of Lingfei also has a rich background experience in the grid room before.However, the setting of the boss has always been like this, it is part of the background of the dungeon, and it can be regarded as an advantage of Yan.
As for the fact that the priest doesn't like the villagers discussing the mission, it can also be figured out.Once the villagers get together and really help each other out, completing missions becomes very simple.From the standpoint of the dungeon designer, he definitely didn't want to see such a situation, so he used priests to contain it.
Lin Cen asked: "You just said that the number of people who have been condemned by God has increased recently, right?"
The two girls nodded.
"Besides, the dark energy in the village has become more and more serious recently. In fact, people will secretly spread the word that the evil spirits are the villagers who have been punished by heaven and come back to take revenge."
"The days were pretty good before, with few tasks and not many evil spirits, but now it's not good..."
Lin Cen said: "There are more than 100 households in the village, assuming 500 people. If one person dies every day, the village will be empty in more than a year. But since there is no time, it is still full, which means that there are always people like us. Newcomers are coming in, right?"
Xiaoxiang said honestly: "Yes, the newcomers are brought in by brother Xu Yang. I asked him before, and he said that every time a person dies two or three days later, the priest will let him go to the entrance of the village to pick up the newcomers. The number of newcomers is just enough to make up for the number of dead villagers."
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Then when did you two come here? How long have you lived here?"
The two girls looked at each other with puzzled looks on their faces.
"I can't remember, I often feel that the days are getting more and more confused. It seems that I have been living with everyone..."
"The time here is messy, so everyone doesn't care much about how many days have passed. But I always feel that it's not that long..."
They chatted with Xie Ting and Xiaoxiang for a while, and let them go back without getting any new information.Love also specifically told him that if he receives another mission here, he should do it normally.The two were relieved and ran away in a hurry.
At this time, Yu Chuqing also came back with Rong Rong, and said that she had checked the inside and outside of the yard, and found nothing unusual except that the feed had been replaced.
Afterwards, everyone sorted out the existing clues again, and roughly restored the background setting of the village.
Utopia is a village where time flow is chaotic. There is a rule that everyone in the village agrees to: Do bad things and you can't be found out.To be on the safe side, it is best not to do bad things and do more good things.
The products here are rich, and the villagers have no worries about eating and drinking, so there is no need for conflicts.So this rule is not difficult to do.However, the priests in the village always have to dispatch tasks that will be considered "bad things", which breaks the peaceful life of the village.
Once the evil spirit finds out that he has done bad things, the evil spirit will leave a black mark on his neck.Anyone who leaves a mark will soon be condemned by God and die suddenly.
When exploring the back mountain before, the two found that the Yin Qi from the evil spirits was the same as the Yin Qi from the swamp where corpses were buried.Coupled with the testimony of the two girls just now, it is not difficult to deduce that the evil spirits floating in the village during the day are actually villagers who were condemned to death by God.After the villagers who were found doing bad things died, they turned into evil spirits and in turn supervised other villagers.
In this way, the origin of the evil spirits in the village can be explained. As for where the first batch of evil spirits came from, it is still unknown.
The corpses of the villagers were eaten by a nightmare hiding in the dark, and this nightmare has an inseparable relationship with the evil spirit.One of his abilities is likely to be able to materialize the evil spirit to a certain extent and manipulate it to fight for him.
The huge monster and the debuff that Love worked so hard to dispel should also come from him.Perhaps the dungeon gave him this skill, or maybe it was born with it.Also, under the circumstances that the dungeon settings will not force the player or the nightmare to eat people, this nightmare actually eats the corpse, which can be said to be very abnormal.
Lin Cen took out a blank piece of paper from his backpack, wrote "Ling Fei" and "Liang Cheng" on it, and then drew a question mark at a position that just formed a triangle with these two names.
She tapped the paper with a pen, and said: "In this dungeon, we have come into contact with three special characters. Ling Fei who is a priest, Liang Cheng who is imprisoned as a lunatic, and the cannibal who hides in the dark nightmare."
Rong Rong had a sudden thought: "Then Liang Cheng will eat human nightmares? Maybe he is just pretending to be crazy, but in fact he runs out to eat corpses at night."
Yu Chuqing shook her head, "Not quite."
She analyzed: "Liang Cheng is such an important role, it must be that Yan has not escaped. But Ling Fei and the man-eating Yan can form a complete chain of interests. After Ling Fei issued a mission, some villagers were recruited, and they were punished by heaven, resulting in evil. Cannibal Nightmare lurks in the swamp, manipulating evil spirits while eating corpses. So I think Ling Fei and Cannibal Nightmare are actually the same group."
Rong Rong understood, "But Liang Cheng and Ling Fei are not on the same side at first glance... What's the matter, why did Ling Fei bring a dungeon of Yan Jin who is hostile to her? How could she allow us to target us like this? This kind of thing happens."
Ning Mianmian thought of Lin Cen's story about Ling Fei's past, and her thoughts gradually flew away, "Could it be that Ling Fei has too many enemies, so she chased her into the dungeon?"
According to Lin Cen, the competition for candidates in the various counties of Liangchuan Kingdom is still very fierce. Ling Fei is so arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't know how many people he has offended.
"The Void Mirror has been living outside for five years. Beili and Lingfei are now at the end of their strength. They will not get any benefits from them. They will not be looked down upon by other candidates, so they will go after them on purpose."
Lin Cen smiled and spoke slowly, "Besides, if I were another candidate who had a grudge against Ling Fei, I wouldn't choose to do it now. After all, we are targeting Ling Fei, and the other party just needs to take advantage of it. In case Ling Fei wins, after she gets the void mirror, she will immediately wipe out both people and the mirror."
Looking at her devilish smile, Rongrong let out a soft "hiss", "Everyone is so scary, sure enough there are not many pure and kind-hearted nightmares like me."
Ning Mianmian ignored Rongrong directly, she felt that what Lin Cen said made sense, "Then what happened to Liang Cheng?"
Lin Cen was thoughtful: "I suspect it's because the dungeon gave him a chaotic state of mind, causing him to temporarily forget his position."
The two little pigs probably realized that they had been caught in a trap, so they had to stay where they were, not daring to move.
When everyone went out, they saw such a scene.
The two little flower pigs lay pitifully side by side on the ground, as if the words "Let it go" were written all over their bodies.
