Chapter 158: Alienation

Li Ye took over the task, and before leaving, he remembered the serious investigation task that he had almost delayed.

"Village Chief, how long has it been since the Demonized Big-Eared Rabbit appeared?"

The village chief was holding the dry smoke and spitting out the clouds, and when he heard Li Ye ask, he frowned, "The big-eared rabbit has been there for a long time." It's just that I don't know why I suddenly started attacking the villagers. ”

"That is, big-eared rabbits are not aggressive in the first place?" Dawn Night distilled some useful information from it.

The village chief nodded, "That's what happened. They are always active in the area, and there are people in the village who make a living by catching big-eared rabbits. ”

"So, when was the first time a villager was attacked?"

"The first time," the village chief recalled, "it happened 2 days ago. Zhang, the hunter in the village, was directly carried back, but unfortunately he lost an arm at a young age."

A long sigh.

"It's close to the fruit wine festival, but it makes people panic"

Thinking of the lively atmosphere that filled the entire village when he first entered the village, Li Ye pulled the corners of his lips, and he didn't feel the "concerns" that the village chief was worried about at all.

Well, it doesn't matter!

"When did Sister-in-law Fang's child disappear?"

The village chief had a solemn face: "4 days ago." Before his disappearance, he was left with Erhu and Dog to play hide and seek in the woods east of the village. For specific details, you can ask the two tigers and the dogs. ”

Li Ye nodded, and praised these names from the bottom of his heart.

4 days ago, a child disappeared in the village, and 2 days after the child disappeared, the big-eared rabbit went crazy and became a demonized big-eared rabbit

If these two things are related, then think about it together

Oh my God, could it be that the missing child did something to the big-eared rabbit clan that caused the big-eared rabbit to come out and take revenge on the society after it turned black?

But how much destructive power can a small child have?

It shouldn't be as simple as you think.

In other words, she can understand if someone loses it. But why can dogs get lost? And it was also carefully included in the objectives of her mission.

"Ahem, does anyone in your village like to stew dog meat?"

The village chief was directly choked by his own cigarette.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, what I want to ask is, how did that dog go missing?"

The village chief looked at Xiaobai, who was in Li Ye's arms.

"Wangcai seems to have lost himself. Yesterday someone saw it running out of the village, but Sister-in-law Fang said that it never came back."

In previous games, the mission plot was driven by the task chain. Players only need to complete the tasks of running errands, collecting, and fighting monsters according to the prompts, and the plot will slowly surface.

In order to maximize the player's holographic experience, "Miracle" allows players to immerse themselves in the story itself and actively explore the mission, and the mission hints given are no longer as straightforward as before.

But this is equivalent to increasing the difficulty coefficient of the mission, and the player must find out on his own.

"So since these incidents, have there been any suspicious people in the village? What's going on? ”

"No, it's business as usual in the village."

"Isn't there anything abnormal" Li Ye took out the bottle of unknown potion from the package, "Look at this, is there anyone in the village researching and making this?" ”

"No way, I'm the only one in this village who knows a little bit about pharmacology." The village chief took the potion and shook it lightly to observe, then pulled out the medicine stopper and sniffed it, shook his head and said, "And this kind of high-purity potion can't even be refined by me." ”

"What does this potion do?"

"I don't know." The village chief handed the potion to Li Ye, "It's probably not a single ingredient in it, it's hard to say if it combines multiple materials."

Even the village chief, who knew pharmacology, couldn't tell the effect of this potion, and Li Ye was a little disappointed. Unable to get any more useful clues from the village chief, she said goodbye to the village chief.

The villagers outside the house still did not disperse. With the appearance of the dawn night, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

After staring at the villagers, Li Ye swept the names of the villagers present.

Every NP looks too normal.

What's next?

The village chief seems to have mentioned that for the details of Sanfat's disappearance, he can ask Erhu and Gou Yu.

This can also count as a quest clue.

The direction of exploration was clear, and Li Ye walked out of the courtyard. As she approached, the villagers chattered and ploughed out a path.

That's an adventurer who can pick blood clotting grass under the sharp teeth of the big-eared rabbit, who can face the big-eared rabbit unharmed like her?

Who would dare to stand in her way?

Li Ye, who can fight against the demonized big-eared rabbit, is undoubtedly a powerful existence in the eyes of the villagers.

But this powerful presence also makes her an outlier among the crowd, threatening and fearing these helpless ordinary people.

The dawn of the night was inexplicably attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Excuse me"

As soon as Li Ye spoke, he immediately frightened a relatively old and honest-looking villager, and he waved his hand and shrank towards the back of the crowd: "I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me"

The rest of the villagers seemed to have been prepared, and they saw her retreat in unison like a flood beast with a slight movement.

Dawn looked at them speechlessly. She just wanted to ask where the two NPs named "Erhu" and "Dog Leftover" lived.

Finally getting out of the crowd, Li Ye turned around and saw that the villagers were shocked like a collective electric shock, and shook their heads.

Not long after he walked out of the village chief's yard, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

Li Ye turned around and saw the villagers screaming in amazement, and squeezed out of the courtyard gate of the village chief's house in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Dawn catches a frightened villager. She had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Village Chief, Village Chief," the villager pointed to the courtyard of the village chief's house, and took advantage of the dawn of the night to break free of her hand and stumble out.

Something happened to the village chief?

The crowd continued to pour outward, and Li Ye walked against the flow of people to the village chief's house, and was accidentally bumped into by a villager who did not have time to see the road.

Xiaobai fell from Li Ye's arms, but fortunately, his body twisted and fell to the ground smoothly on all fours.

"Woohoo!"

As soon as it landed, it raised its head and called out into the courtyard.

Animals have the most acute senses.

Sure enough, something happened.

Dawn frowned and clenched her staff.

The crowd dispersed, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a vague figure appeared at the courtyard gate of the village chief's house.

The figure was slightly rickety, and on its wrinkled face, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at the dawn of the night.

Blood trickled down his mottled beard, and he licked the corners of his lips soaked in fresh blood and crushed flesh, and his face showed a hint of madness and satisfaction.

It's hard to imagine what happened inside the hospital.

"The village chief?" Li Ye looked at the bright red blood bar on his head and said tentatively.

The striking color means that he is no longer a non-combat NP "village chief", but in the eyes of the player

"Wild monsters"!
