"By the way, how did you feel when you took out those goblins?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

As a result, it didn't matter if Liu Xing didn't ask, Yin En's face became bad when he asked, "How can I say it, although I also used a gun to solve a fanatic believer in the game before, but you also know that the impact of a firearm is definitely not as strong as a cold weapon like Fang Tian's halberd, so I really almost vomited it just now, after all, goblins are also humanoid creatures... ”

Liu Xing was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "What if we encounter human enemies in the future, for example, if we are sure that Shen Dazhuang or Shen Aotian has an ulterior relationship with the goblins, then there is a good chance that we will fight with them, and there should be other Bahamut believers around them to help." ”

Yin En was silent for a long time before he shook his head and said, "Can we stop talking about this?" ”

Liu Xing nodded and didn't speak.

Now in Liu Xing's view, the real difficulty of this mod lies in the player's mentality, because this mod has just begun, it has brought huge psychological pressure to all players, first of all, the living environment in this mod is a little unacceptable for players born in modern society, the whole town is full of all kinds of filth, the stench is coming, and the most important thing is that there is no toilet paper, there is not even a toilet in the inn!

That's right, when Liu Xing got up last night and wanted to go to the toilet, he didn't find a toilet in the inn, and then Liu Xing remembered that there was indeed no concept of "toilet" in medieval Europe, or that the whole house was a big toilet.

In addition, Liu Xing also found that all the NPCs in this module do not take a bath or wash their hair, the reason is still because the background setting of this module refers to medieval Europe...

Liu Xing felt a hint of despair in all this, especially when Liu Xing thought that he would have to stay in this mod for a long time.

And then there's the combat in this mod.

According to Liu Xing's understanding of Dragon Quest games, there is definitely no shortage of humanoid and human enemies in these games, so every battle is a huge mental impact for players, after all, players are war scum compared to those mythical creatures in other mods, only abused, plus most of them cannot have relevant experience in the real world, so when players solve a humanoid monster and human enemies with their own hands, that feeling is really indescribable, especially the total cold weapon...

The most important thing is that this kind of battle will certainly not be less.

Therefore, Liu Xing is very suspicious that his party may have great mental problems when clearing this mod.

Now Liu Xing has begun to think about a question, that is, after he clears this module, should he go to a psychological counselor to see...

At this moment, Yin En suddenly said: "Liu Xing, I think that after we have experienced a few battles, even if our characters can't get stuck in the SAN value, we ourselves will enter a temporary state of madness, especially when facing human enemies... Seriously, I'd rather use a gun to kill a hundred human NPCs now than use Fang Tian's halberd to cut it in one move. ”

It's the same with me.

Liu Xing said silently in his heart.

However, Liu Xing is also very clear that the current Yin En has psychological problems.

Because Liu Xing had only taken a psychology course in college, Liu Xing didn't know how to treat Yin En's psychological problems now.

So Liu Xing could only pat Yin En's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it so much, after all, we are a Cthulhu running group game, there shouldn't be so many fighting opportunities, and these battles should be avoidable." ”

Yin En nodded reluctantly, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so, anyway, I don't want to become a crazy person in the real world, let's discuss this matter with Zhang Wenbing and them later." ”

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, "Liu Xing, it's time for us to leave for the banquet." ”

Ten minutes later, Liu Xing and the others came to the Shen family's mansion.

As the largest family in the blacksmith village, the Shen family's mansion naturally occupies the center of the blacksmith village, located next to a blacksmith shop.

And on the right side of the Shen family's mansion, there is the guard of the blacksmith village.

Because the actual manager of the blacksmith village is Shen Qianglong, the empire did not divide the blacksmith village into the surrounding lords, so only one guard station was set up in the blacksmith village for the guards to live and work.

Of course, Zhang Wenbing heard that the guards of the blacksmith village would not obey Shen Qilong's orders.

Therefore, although Shen Madlong actually controlled the Blacksmith Village, there were not many things that Shen Madlong could call the shots.

However, when Liu Xing and the others entered the Shen family's mansion under the leadership of Shen Aotian, Shen Madlong did not come to greet them, not even Shen Dazhuang.

This made Shen Aotian look a little embarrassed, after all, he invited Liu Xing and others to the banquet, but now no one came to greet the guests.

"Well, maybe my father and they happen to have something to do right now, so they didn't come to greet you brave adults at this time." Shen Aotian opened his mouth and said, "Then let's go to the living room first, I believe my father, they should be waiting for the arrival of the brave adults in the living room." ”

Shen Aotian said as he took Liu Xing and the others to the living room.

Halfway through, Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but ask, "Shen Aotian, how many people are in your family now?" ”

Shen Aotian immediately replied: "After our Shen family developed in the blacksmith village, many relatives I didn't know came to join us, so our Shen family alone has more than 50 people, so we have also hired more than 30 servants to handle various affairs. ”

"So, why haven't we met anyone else yet?" Zhang Jingxu asked again.

Shen Aotian's face changed, and he stopped and said, "Yes, it stands to reason that we can't walk for so long without meeting other people!" ”

After Shen Aotian finished speaking, he quickened his pace.

Liu Xing and the others glanced at each other, and then followed Shen Aotian's steps closely.

Soon, Liu Xing and the others followed Shen Aotian into the living room.

Then in the living room, Shen Madlong, who had a relationship with Liu Xing and the others this morning, and several others were falling in the living room.

Shen Aotian immediately stepped forward to help Shen Crazy Dragon up, but it turned out that Shen Crazy Dragon had bled to death.

The same is true for other people, and among them is Shen Aotian's mother...

Seeing this situation, Shen Aotian was struck by lightning and stood motionless.

Liu Xing frowned, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Shen Crazy Dragon and they should all have died of poisoning. ”

At this time, Zhang Wenbing stepped forward and touched Shen Madlong's corpse, and said: "Shen Madlong's corpse still has body temperature, it seems that he should have died of poison not long ago, and it seems that he should have been poisoned by drinking those drinks on the table." ”

There were several glasses of wine on the table in the living room, and it was obvious at a glance that they had been drunk.

Ignoring Shen Aotian for the time being, Liu Xing and the others began to check the situation in the living room.

Judging from the state of the deceased falling to the ground, the poison in them should be strong poison, and Shen Qilong and others were killed soon after the attack, so the deceased did not knock over the wine glasses, tables and chairs to the ground, and the scene was well preserved.

But there was nothing of note in the living room other than the wine glasses that might have been poisoned.

Liu Xing sighed and said, "It seems that the poisoner is very confident, and he has no other preparations at all. ”

Ding Kun, who was holding a half-full wine bottle in his hand, nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, the poisoner should be very familiar with the Shen family, and his goal is also very clear, only poisoning this bottle of wine. ”

"Oh, Ding Kun, why are you so confident that the poisoner only poisoned the wine bottle in your hand?" Zhang Jingxu asked with some curiosity.

Because there are several wine bottles in the living room, but the other wine bottles are basically full, but in Liu Xing's opinion, the wine in these wine bottles is the same, and it is impossible to see whether the other wine bottles have been poisoned.

Ding Kun smiled, shook the wine bottle in his hand and said: "You are far away now, so you can't see some white powder at the mouth of this wine bottle and on the bottle body, these white powders should be poison if nothing else, so judging from the location of the residue of these poisons, the poisoner should have temporarily decided to poison on the spot, so the poison may not have been poured into the wine due to nervousness and other reasons." ”

Liu Xing and the others suddenly realized.

If the poisoner did not poison the scene, then the poisoner who had sufficient preparation time would definitely not leave traces of poisoning on the wine bottle, which might attract the attention and vigilance of Shen Qilong and others.

At this time, Ding Kun stood in the center of the living room with a wine bottle in his hand, facing the corpses that fell to the ground and said: "Judging from the direction of these corpses, the poisoner should have been standing in front of them at that time, and for some reason the poisoner poured wine for the deceased, and then used some excuse to make the deceased drink a sip of wine, and then the deceased died of poison one after another, and the poisoner retreated calmly." ”

Liu Xing and the others nodded, and they all felt that Ding Kun's speculation was very correct.

At this time, Shen Aotian had already come back to his senses, and said with a blank face: "Then who poisoned my family?!" ”

Ding Kun shook his head and said: "Judging from the current situation, I can only speculate that the poisoner should have a good relationship with the deceased, and he is still the kind of person with a certain identity, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to toast the deceased, and calmly enter and leave the Shen family's mansion without being suspected by others." ”

At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly continued: "If nothing else, the person who poisoned should also be the Shen family, and this person also has a certain status in the Shen family, because in order to prevent others from discovering what they have done, or to discover these dead people in advance, he should have specially ordered others to stay away from the living room temporarily, so we didn't meet anyone else along the way." ”

Speaking of which, Liu Xing and the others all had a name Shen Dazhuang in their minds!

It stands to reason that Shen Dazhuang, as an important figure in the Shen family, should also be in this living room at this time, but now he is nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, Shen Dazhuang is also very in line with the characteristics of the poisoner, because his status in the Shen family should be second only to Shen Madlong, so he is fully qualified to order the rest of the Shen family's mansion to avoid the living room for the time being, and then he can also use excuses such as "I can't attend the banquet due to work" and other excuses to toast Shen Madlong and the others to make amends.

However, why did Shen Dazhuang poison his family at this time?

If Shen Dazhuang is behind all this, then the target of his poisoning should be his own party, because it is more cost-effective to do so, after all, just poisoning Shen Qilong and others will do more harm than good to Shen Dazhuang.

As for Shen Dazhuang's desire to frame his group under an excuse, this is not very likely in Liu Xing's opinion, because as long as people with normal IQs know that there is no reason for their group to poison Shen Qilong and others.

Unless Shen Dazhuang has already controlled all the guards in the blacksmith village!

At this moment, several men in leather armor walked into the living room, talking and laughing.

Then, after seeing the corpses of Liu Xing and the others, the men immediately pulled out the weapons on their waists.

"Mr. Rodriguez, don't be impulsive, my parents were poisoned by someone, and they have nothing to do with the brave adults." Shen Aotian immediately stepped forward and said.

At this time, Zhang Wenbing whispered to Liu Xing and the others: "That Rodriguez is the leader of the guards of the Blacksmith Village. ”

After seeing the appearance of Shen Qianglong and the others clearly, Rodriguez put away his weapon and said, "Shen Aotian, what the hell is going on?" ”

Shen Aotian sighed and told Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing's guesses.

Rodriguez was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Could it be that the poisoner is Shen Dazhuang?" He had just come to invite us to the banquet, and then he had asked us to come first under the pretext that there was a blacksmith shop and something to do. ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "In this way, Shen Dazhuang's suspicion is the biggest now, so Mr. Rodriguez, you first bring someone to protect the scene, let's go to a blacksmith shop to arrest Shen Dazhuang!" ”

Rodriguez thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Lord Brave, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the current situation is a bit special, so I think we should each send half of our men to stay here to protect the scene, and the other half of our people will go to arrest Shen Dazhuang." ”

A two-line plot?

After Liu Xing and the others glanced at each other, Zhang Jingxu nodded and agreed to Rodriguez's request.

Then, Zhang Jingxu decided that Yin En and Ding Kun would stay at the Shen family's mansion and take Liu Xing, Zhang Wenbing and Rodriguez to arrest Shen Dazhuang.

As a result, Liu Xing and his party had just walked to the door of a blacksmith shop, and they heard from the gatekeeper that Shen Dazhuang had not returned.

Because the gatekeeper of a blacksmith shop was Rodriguez's subordinate, Rodriguez immediately took Liu Xing and others to the nearest city gate.
