Chapter 197 Blind Town (27)
When Lu Qian was summoned by Xiao Huai, he specifically asked what day of the game it was.
This means that he knows that certain plots will happen on certain days.
For example, Butler Yang disappeared.
Most players would think that Butler Yang’s disappearance is the main plot.
And based on what Butler Yang had told them about the master.
"The master went to East City to deal with some things and will be back soon."
This is the little information we have, and now Butler Yang is missing.
Players will naturally think about whether they should go to East City to find the whereabouts of the two people.
"Miss Yang? What are you talking about? The one who disappeared didn't refer to a girl." Chen Chong said casually, but soon his expression changed.
He frowned, thinking about what he said and what Xiao Huai said.
They had never seen what Miss Yang looked like, and had never even seen this person, so how could they be so sure that she was a girl?
Just when he was about to ask Xiao Huai something, Xiao Huai looked at him and made a hushing gesture.
Chen Chong fell silent for a moment.
The Yang family has never had a young lady, only one young master. This is the truth of the world, but it cannot be said openly. It is like a taboo rule.
And perhaps no one has ever discovered this.
Because only by finding Huo Lanxu can this rule be discovered.
The difficulty of completing side quests is definitely many times greater than that of main quests, which is why the system does not force players to complete side quests.
Shen Yun had been listening to what Xiao Huai said. He touched his chin and lowered his eyes to think:
"So, is it possible that in the main quest, we only need to find any one person?"
This possibility cannot be ruled out because the main quest does not specify who it is.
Xiao Huai didn't answer and opened the food box on the dining table.
Just like yesterday’s food, there were some cakes and dishes. When you opened the cakes, you could see fish eyes inside.
The others understood and were about to buy something to eat in the system mall when they suddenly discovered something unusual.
"What's going on? Why can't I buy food?" Chen Chong frowned in confusion.
"Mine too." Jiang Wenmei said coldly.
"Ding! New rules announced—please try not to waste food."
"Rules: If you don't eat the food you're given once, it's fine. But it would be impolite not to eat it again."
Chen Chong touched her stomach and said, "What's wrong with not eating... I just won't eat."
As he finished speaking, he felt as if he was even hungrier, and even made a growling sound.
"It seems like they're forcing us to eat the food here." Zhong Jiangyuan said, "I just don't know who gave us this food. If we can find him, maybe we can complete the main quest."
Chen Chong sighed helplessly, went to the room, opened the lunch box, picked up a little bit of mung bean cake and ate it.
The strange thing is that this thing doesn't taste bad, and after eating it, his hunger is obviously reduced a little.
The blonde also stood up from the well, returned to the room and closed the door.
Jiang Wenmei glanced at her and said, "There's something wrong with her."
Chen Chong was holding a plate of food, a dish made of unknown ingredients.
He took a few bites with his chopsticks and came over to Jiang Wenmei to agree, "Something is a little strange. We've already come to the fifth floor, and you're reacting so strongly to a corpse."
Zhong Jiangyuan glanced at Chen Chong and Jiang Wenmei and said, "Not everyone has a good mental state. Her reaction to seeing a dismembered body is normal."
Chen Chong and Jiang Wenmei were actually too calm. Just because others didn't mention the matter didn't mean they weren't affected.
Chen Chong smiled and said, "Then I can only hope that she is just in a bad mood and not a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Xiao Huai raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Chong.
He reminded everyone not to forget that the game has a special mechanism.
Identity card player.
Players with hidden identities often have special missions. They are not necessarily harmful to the team, but in most cases, there is a high probability that their interests will conflict.
Shen Yun: "If one of us really has an identity, you two are also highly suspicious."
Jiang Wenmei sneered, "You too."
An inexplicable smell of gunpowder spread in the air.
Xiao Huai spoke at this time: "There is no need for internal strife."
"At worst, let's see what happens next." He muttered, sat down on the chair, and took a bite of food.
Zhong Jiangyuan also agreed that it was better not to fight among themselves. Everyone was working on the main quest together, so finding the right people was key. He said, "Butler Yang mentioned earlier that Master Yang was going to East City for some work. How about we go to the town tomorrow?"
Zhong Jiangyuan's words lessened the tension a little.
"Okay, let's see what's going on." Chen Chong said with a smile.
After some discussion, everyone immediately started to busy themselves with their own things. Even if there were no NPCs that night, it didn't mean that terrorist incidents might not happen.
No one knows what will happen next.
Lu Yuanshi still didn't go back to his room tonight. He skillfully made a bed on the floor, but Xiao Huai said, "You sleep on the bed tonight."
Lu Yuanshi raised his eyebrows, his voice sounding a little excited: "Oh? You want to follow me tonight..."
Before he could finish his words, a notebook appeared in Xiao Huai's hand.
"What are you thinking about? I'm working on my manuscript all night."
"Rushing to finish the manuscript?" Lu Yuanshi was puzzled.
Xiao Huai smiled faintly: "Well, I have thought of a story, but if I don't write it down quickly, I might forget it."
That night, with a red candle and a pen, Xiao Huai wrote at the table all night.
He didn't sleep. Lu Yuanshi lay on the bed, quietly looking at Xiao Huai's profile as he wrote.
Xiao Huai turned his head and looked at him twice, "If you don't want to sleep, go back to your room."
Lu Yuanshi had no choice but to close his eyes.
Tonight, unlike last night, no one deliberately smoked cigarettes to make people sleepy.
But at about eleven o'clock, the sound of opera singing could be faintly heard outside.
Xiao Huai didn't go out to see. He quietly left the room at about five o'clock in the morning.
After he left, Lu Yuanshi opened his eyes, opened the door a crack and watched his departing figure.
He really doesn't give himself any rest at all.
----
Xiao Huai arrived at Jinlemen early in the morning.
He did not forget the deal with Huo Dieyi.
Huo Dieyi was already waiting for Xiao Huai at Jinlemen. She was wearing a green mask and a purple dress today.
"You arrived earlier than I thought."
"Well, let's get started."
Huo Dieyi smiled and said, "It's good to have this intention. Come, let me see your foundation."
She clapped her hands, and a practitioner from Jinlemen came out from nearby.
Basic skills are nothing more than body flexibility and martial arts techniques.
She wanted to see what level Xiao Huai was at.
About half an hour later, the test was over.
It only took half an hour for Huo Dieyi's expression to change from indifference at first to surprise later.
