Chapter 67: The Shadow of Fraud
85_85627 Archie took Nord Stream away from the imperial capital.
Watching Archie burrow into the dense grove, Nord Stream frowned. It is very dangerous for players to enter the woods alone at night!
Without night vision equipment, you can't see objects clearly, and even the magic alchemy tools that are usually lit don't work. Nord Stream's magic ball of light can't be opened in the wild!
Can't see objects clearly.,It's easy to be attacked by unknown objects.,It's not uncommon for bosses or elite monsters to be killed instantly.。
There are always some players who run to the forest or wilderness at night with curiosity and realism, and they either meet the boss and come back in seconds, or accidentally cut the NPC, not only pulling hatred, but also being blacklisted by the NPC.
The safe zone is now over, which means that random attacks can be carried out.
"Meow. Archie noticed that Nord Stream did not follow, and stopped and looked back at Nord Stream, his eyes full of doubt.
Nord Stream is now in a dilemma. If you choose to go back now, then the clue of this mission will be broken, and maybe you will miss the mission, which is not necessarily.
If you go in and encounter danger, you can't judge the enemy, and you can't guarantee what mission you will talk about.
Nord Stream turned out the red dot on the large map where he was, and the forest in front of him was a map of the area of level 50.
Level 50. Nord Stream thought about it for a while, and now the only choice was to judge the danger of the woods based on the experience of his previous life.
Nord Stream took out Ge Zhan from the holster and said to Archie, "Let's go." ”
Archie flicked his tail and walked into the woods, Nord Stream following closely.
However, her worries were unfounded
Archie himself glowed red, though it was a little scary in the dark forest. But it's better than not seeing anything. Nord Stream also relaxed, but did not relax its vigilance, holding both guns in their hands, guarding against possible danger at any time.
Archie took Nord Stream around the woods for a long time, until Nord Stream saw a little light not far away through the gap in the trees. When you step out of the woods, you will see a small wooden house. Archie walked over and sat down in front of the hut.
"Meow. ”
"Squeak". The door opened, and a woman in a long dress stepped out.
"Archie. Seeing the black cat by the door, the woman smiled, gently picked up Archie, and stroked its head. Archie rubbed the woman affectionately, as if she was coquettish.
"Meow. ”
The woman smiled softly, touched its head, and petted, "Have you helped me take good care of Curris?"
"Meow. Archie screamed softly, jumped out of his arms, and ran to Nord Stream's side, his soft body rubbing around Nord Stream's legs.
Only then did the woman discover that there was another person outside the door.
Through the light in the house, she vaguely saw the appearance of Beixi, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled kindly at Beixi: "Are you lost?"
Nord Stream looks too child-like, not tall, with a baby face, and it's easy to let your guard down wherever you go.
Even NPCs are no exception!
Nord Stream retracted the battle and took a few steps closer. This woman should be the most direct clue to this mission!" Hello. Archie brought me here!" Nord Stream greeted politely.
The woman was surprised, looked at the black cat rubbing Beixi's legs, frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Come in with me. ”
The look is not quite right. Nord Stream didn't say much and walked into the wooden house. The woman poked out, saw that there was no one, and closed the door tightly.
"Do you know Curris, please?"
Nord Stream stood behind her, and the woman looked nervous. There was a look of worry on his face!
"Curris is my husband, you can call me Mina. Mina asked Nord Stream to sit on a wooden chair and poured a glass of water for Nord Stream.
"Curris hasn't been here for a few days. I'm worried that something has happened to him!"
Beixi listened to her, but her eyes looked at the room with their own eyes.
There is too little furniture in the wooden house, and the whole cabin is just a dilapidated bed, wooden table, chairs, and cabinets that don't look very big, but I think that the owner of this place has no intention of staying for a long time. It's too simple! It's not like two people living together.
If she and Kuris lived here, the furniture would have been a little more cumbersome.
"You used to live here, too?"
Mina sighed. "Nope. I moved here a week ago. Kuris said the town of Kama has been unsafe lately. Let me stay here and let Archie protect me. ”
"Didn't he tell you for something?" Mina shook her head. Nord Stream looked at her look, it didn't look like a lie!
Could it be that Curris is telling the truth? Nord Stream thought for a moment, and then asked Mina, "Do you know Pulley?"
"Of course. Pooley adopted Curris, and I was Curris's wife. How could you not know each other! It's just that two weeks ago, Pooley disappeared. Curris is starting to get cautious about letting me hide in such a remote place," Mina said, sighing helplessly.
It turned out that Curris was Puley's adopted child. What exactly happened to make one person go missing and the other become cautious?
"Didn't Curris come back today?" Nord Stream remembered the result of the meeting with Curris on Ruhr Street today
"Nope. He wasn't here yesterday either! Curris used to come every day. At this, Mina couldn't help but cry.
"What if something happens to Curris?"
Nord Stream is most afraid of others crying in front of me, you ask me what to do, I don't know what to do-
There was a "bang", and the door was pushed open. Both of them were startled, and when they looked over, wasn't the man panting by the door Coulis?
"Mina. The man looked anxious and shouted the woman's name.
"Curries. Seeing that it was her husband, Mina threw herself into the man's arms and choked up. "I'm so worried about you!"
"It's okay. Curris comforted the woman in his arms and looked at Nord Stream.
"It's not safe here, we have to get out of here quickly!"
"Wait a minute. ”
Standing in the back, Nord Stream remained motionless, staring at the man and speaking coldly.
Curris and Mina turned around, he looked at Nord Stream with a very anxious look on his face, and a hint of fear.
It looks like something really unsafe is coming this way.
"What's wrong? I must get to safety before that thing comes!"
Beixi slowly took out his own battle, pointed his gun at the man, and said coldly: "Let go of her." Dirty stuff!"
Mina was confused by Nord Stream's actions.
"Nord Stream, what's wrong with you? I'm Curis!" the man explained to Nord Stream with a wave of his hand, his face full of anxiety.
"Don't make me say it a second time. ”
"Mina. She doesn't believe me, you come with me, I have to take you to a safe place! I can't let you get hurt!"
Seeing that Nord Stream didn't believe him, the man had no choice but to say to Mina to make his wife believe in him.
"En" Mina looked back at Nord Stream with a gun pointed at the man, and then at her husband. Biting my lip, I don't know what to do.
"Meow!" the cat's meow broke the ice in one fell swoop. Mina jerked her head up and looked at the man in front of her.
"Mina, what's wrong?"
"You're not Curris. ”
The smile on the man's lips froze and slowly pulled it down.
"Mina, don't take her word for it. I'm Curris!"
Mina shook her head, struggling, trying to pull her wrist back, but she seemed to be imprisoned by a great force, unable to break free no matter how much she struggled. "Archie!"
"Meow. ”
Archie let out a shrill cry and lunged at him, clawing at the man's hand.
The man let go of Mina in pain and immediately let go of Mina. Nord Stream took the opportunity to shoot a bullet.
After Mina was saved, she hurriedly ran away, holding the wrist that was grabbed by the man with the black mark with the other hand, and hid behind Nord Stream in fear.
"Who are you?"
The bullet passed through the man's body without causing any damage.
"I'm Curris. The man looked innocent at the two.
Isn't this man going to give up?
Nord Stream smiled contemptuously.
"Do you forget that Archie can recognize your scent? If you were Curris, Archie would have pounced the moment you entered. I won't be on guard!"
At the moment when the man rushed in, Nord Stream also thought he was Curris. As a result, seeing Archie next to the bed with an angry expression, Nord Stream understood that the person in front of him was not Curris!
The man put away his innocent expression, and the black mist gradually enveloped him, revealing a hideous face at the same time.
"This damn cat!".
