Chapter 45: The Girl in the Empty City

The humanoid sculpture with a white jade crystal clear body raised its right hand into the sky, and its open five fingers seemed to want to grasp something, but it was empty. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 The beautiful female face is full of panic and longing, the long curly hair is scattered behind the back, the other hand tightly grasps the clothes on the chest, the thin waist is crisp and the long legs, the feet and slender ankles look extremely smooth and weak under the flying wide skirt.

"I just felt like someone was staring at me all the time. Is she chasing something? Wu Xiao couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to touch the fragile and powerless girl in front of her.

"Be careful." Wave Lan stopped Wu Xiao, and his face was cautious, "It's too strange." ”

"You mean the feeling of being stared at?"

Wave's tone was very uncertain: "No, you see, this is obviously the god of fate." It's just ......"

"Just what?" Wu Xiao withdrew his hand, confused, "Yes, why is it the God of Life?" ”

The temple had been in and out so many times, and she still had an impression of the conspicuous statues. Isn't this the God of Life in front of you?

"As you recall, the people in the world of the Elements have a great respect for God, and we've been exposed to it before. A main god such as the god of fate must be enshrined in the best temple, such as the one in the main city, which is also the main hall of the local temple. How can you be exposed to wind and rain like this? It's so counterintuitive. And you see, the expression of this statue is also very strange. Although the people in the temple were very friendly, one thing was for sure - the gods on high would not show such expressions in front of the worshippers. ”

Wu Xiao looked at the statue's expression carefully. Indeed, fear, fear, anticipation, and longing, as expressive as portrayed, should not be the expressions that a god who holds the rules of this world might have.

"Is she afraid of something?"

"I'm afraid only the people in this town know."

"Do you think this has anything to do with our mission?"

"It's possible, but the gods can't fight a town like this." Wave Lan frowned, "Let's follow the mission prompts and go to the mayor's house first." ”

On their personal map, a small house in the center of the town is dotted with golden stars, and since it is a three-dimensional map, the stars are swaying and quite playful.

"Right ahead." Wave put away the map and nodded towards Wuxiao very naturally, "Let's go." ”

It is indeed not far away, the statue is located in a small park, with the statue as the center of four paths leading to the outside, and the one facing the statue goes out all the way out, which is the mayor's house.

The door was not locked, probably because the mayor was usually very busy.

This is convenient, but seeing the scene in the room, the two of them can't help but sigh.

It was no different from the village chief's house in the novice village, and the town mayor's house was also piled up with a lot of clutter, not to mention it, and it was the large pile of books and notes that gave them a headache compared to the clutter.

Task prompts don't make it so easy for them to mark up the relevant books for their records.

"Where do you guess the mayor would record the most important things?" With her hands on her chest and her staff under her arm, she looked around the mayor's room.

"Where is the record a point, and where will he put it?" Wave fingers tapped on the table in front of him.

"Find the table first, if not, go to his bedroom, and then don't ......" Wu Xiao felt the texture of the table in front of him, smooth and smooth, obviously the result of frequent use all year round, "Maybe there will be a secret room?" ”

"So complicated?" Wave walked around his desk and sat down on the mayor's chair.

"There are such strange statues in this town, maybe there is something hidden and invisible to hide."

"Then I'll start with the table, and you look for the dark grid and the mechanism."

β€œOK。”

After only three minutes, Wu Xiao couldn't help but turn his head and watched as the waves turned the table over, dismantling all the drawers, and even breaking the mezzanine unceremoniously.

There are really two strange art books, and even a spell skill book.

The [recovery] of the wood element is just left to matcha, and literally Wu Xiao estimates that it is the official version of the wood element of matcha.

The two albums were accepted very unceremoniously, with a blank eye from the fog.

It's okay if this mayor is not serious, but I didn't expect that even the waves were not serious at this time.

"Give it away." Very weak explanation.

Other findings are gone.

"Wait, look what this is." Wu Xiao picked up a piece of stationery and floated lonely on the table with only the frame left, "I haven't finished writing." ”

The content of the letter is mainly to express the mayor's praise and admiration for the god of life, and the rhetoric is so gorgeous that Wu Xiao gets goosebumps. The last unfinished sentence is extremely intriguing - "Unexplained depravity and desire began to erode...... However, perhaps unlike the previous one...... About ......"

The handwriting after "that time" is obscured by ink, and it is completely unrecognizable.

"I guess it has something to do with that statue." Wave turned out the envelope, "It's for the city lord of Ivanvi." ”

"Lord Ivanvi? Is it a nearby city that has no map? ”

"Maybe, anyway, bring it first, maybe you can use it later. Did you find anything? ”

"Let's go, go to the bedroom." Wu Xiao didn't hear it, and the action represented the facts.

Opening the second door, Wu Xiao was glad that the leaders of villages and towns in the game design had integrated office and life, which was a lot easier.

"I'll go find the closet, and you go to the bed." Wu Xiao tucked the staff back into the package and rolled up her sleeves, obviously wanting to make a big move.

"Okay."

The mayor's closet wasn't large, but it was full, with stacks of books in addition to clothes. Wu Xiao naturally flipped through the book first, but it was just some historical documents and geographical miscellaneous, and the content of the town was not related.

After touching the bottom layer of the clothes and the wall of the cabinet, he didn't find the mezzanine and the dark grid, so Wu Xiao could only close the cabinet door stupidly, ready to go and see the situation of the waves.

Brushing his long hair behind his ears, he leaned over to him and carefully studied the notebook in his hand: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Mayor Mare's work log."

"It's not in the den how is it in the bedroom...... It seems that the mayor's office life is quite comfortable. ”

"You come and see this."

"What?"

From February 21, 784 to February 29, 784 in the national calendar

On the 21st, everyone's food stock was about to run out, but fortunately the gods came to save us. Grain reserves are growing at an incredible rate, and they are saved! For this reason, we have provided the best accommodation and treatment for the gods, and although we don't know which god this is, it would not hurt to have more such generous and merciful gods. Such a holy posture, the brilliance and sacredness of every move, we are actually fortunate to see it in our lives, God's providence! There was a big party in the evening, everyone went home happy, and the gods rested early, hoping that tomorrow would be so good.

On the 22nd, grain reserves continued to grow, and life in the town was suddenly rich and comfortable. Everyone sang and danced and continued to offer the most generous gifts to the gods.

……

On the 29th, everyone made up their minds, so let's do it.

Among them are the same records as in previous days.

But the determination was very abrupt, and I always felt that there was something strange.

The rest of the journal is very vague.

From March 1, 784 to March 31, 784 in the national calendar

On the 1st, the gods promised not to leave their dwellings, and the grain reserves were still growing.

No problem on the 2nd.

No problem on the 3rd.

On the 4th we have a new idea.

It was a success on the 5th...... Although the gods are gone...... But we should never worry about food again.

There was no food on the 6th......

…… (There is no output in the past few days from 7 to 12, but it seems that there is an abundance of grain, so there is no need to worry)

On the 13th, we decided to present a great gift to the gods.

…… (The 14th to the 19th seem to be preparing, and the journal is not exhaustive)

The 20th gift has been prepared, and the gods will surely be happy.

On the 21st, the food was still not produced...... What exactly went wrong?

…… (From the 22nd to the 30th, there was no output or change, but people began to panic)

On the 31st, someone disappeared, probably leaving us to find a new life elsewhere.

April 784 in the national calendar

More and more people are leaving, and everyone seems to have given up.

……

That's the end of the log.

After confirming that Wu Xiao had finished reading, Bo Lan closed the book.

"That's how it seems." Rubbing his shoulders inadvertently, Wu Xiao was closer just now, which made him a little nervous for no reason, and his arms were a little sore after a few minutes.

"One day a god came to the town to solve their survival problem, and according to what we found, it should be that the god of life has not escaped. Then everyone sincerely worshipped her, and one day the god of life left, so people desperately searched for a way, and even took out the best gifts as offerings. But it didn't work, so everyone left. Wu Xiao made a summary expressionlessly, and then raised a sneer at the log, "Oh~ This is the truth." ”

"Congratulations to you and your companions on discovering the truth about the town, and you can choose to leave the secret realm or continue exploring."

"Keep exploring." The two men were very unanimous in their answers.

Just now, after the system prompted, only a few copper coins and only a few dozen points of experience were given, and obviously there are still many content rewards that have not been explored, and giving up at this time is more than worth the loss.

"You've accepted a new quest - 'The Truth Behind the Truth' mission content has been updated."
