Chapter 45: There will be a period of reunion after the lack of the moon

Under the wishing tree, the woman in purple leaned on the trunk of the tree, half sitting and half lying, her eyes closed, and her face serene.

She held a doll tied to straw in her hand, and a blood-red sword beside her.

March recognized it at a glance, and the doll that Yanzhu was holding tightly in his hand was the soul returning doll on the shelves of the medical hall.

She rushed to Yingzhou before she died, just to get this doll?

This...... I don't know if she gave money or not, if she gave money, Yutian should have made money, right?

Many thoughts turned in March's heart, but her face was not obvious, and she still looked cold.

"Yanzhu is the destiny of the Nangong family." Conservation squatted down, looked at Yanzhu, and said, "Looks like ...... Poisoned. ”

The venom of the Styx jellyfish will turn green all over whoever touches it, which is better than dye. There was a layer of green light on the body of Yanzhu, and at a glance, it was clear that it was highly poisonous.

"Are there any other heirs of the Nangong family?" March asked knowingly.

"I don't know."

The two fell silent.

Conservation was probably thinking about the affairs of the Nangong family, and March adhered to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making fewer mistakes, and not saying good, and resolutely did not speak.

I don't know how long it took, Yanzhu's body disintegrated into countless points of light, which dissipated with the wind.

Except for special episodes, the corpses of characters and monsters after death will disappear after a certain period of time.

This is very necessary. In very ancient times, keyboard games were still popular, and after the death of a player or NPC in a certain game, the corpse was kept in place for 24 hours. After a big battle, the corpses in the city were piled up, blocking the road, and the players who were in a hurry stepped over the corpses on horseback, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and they couldn't bear to look at it directly, and finally they were ordered to rectify by the relevant departments.

In a holographic game with a high degree of freedom, the corpse must not be around for too long, otherwise who knows what it will be used by some players......

In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left under the tree, except for a long sword.

Conservation stood up, as if ready to leave.

"Sword, don't you want it?" March asked.

"This sword is a one-handed sword, and I use a two-handed sword, not a way." Conservation Explained.

March glanced at the sword on his back, which was indeed wider and heavier than the sword left by Yanzhu.

I don't know what the restrictions of one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons are, but can a powerful character use a two-handed sword as a one-handed sword?

Her mind couldn't help but diverge, but with a lot of experience in death, it quickly occurred to her that the designers wouldn't leave a hole for players to exploit in such an important place.

For so many years, there has been a tug-of-war between players and game planners. So far, in the fantasy world, planning is better.

"Do you want to investigate?" March asked again.

The complete question should be "Do you want to investigate the cause of Nangong Yanzhu's death", which was condensed into four words by her.

"How?" Conservation shrugged, "I don't know where to start." ”

March remembered the doll in Yanzhu's hand, whether the doll was bought or robbed, she must have communicated with Yutian before she died.

If there is no accident, Qianmei has not been to the hospital, so he should be unaware, and saying it will only make Conservation suspicious. This matter can only be hidden in my heart first, and then I will find an opportunity to investigate it later.

"Let's go, it's not too early, it's time to rest." Conservation walked in the direction of the inn.

March quietly put away his sword, followed him into the inn, and when Shouheng returned to the room, he turned back again.

Above the cliff, under the crescent moon, the wishing tree is independent.

I don't know what kind of tree it is, but in autumn, the leaves turn red and bright.

March walked under the tree and pulled out a pen and paper.

She wants to use this "message board" to do two experiments.

She first wrote a note to the tears, hung it on the tree, took a few steps back, and walked back.

The note for tears fell from the treetops and floated to her feet.

Really...... She can still receive the letter to the tears.

With a slight modification, she hung the note on the tree again, but this time, something strange happened, no matter how stable the hang was, as soon as she let go, the note automatically slipped off the branch.

This situation means that the system does not accept her message.

March frowned.

The recipient of this letter is Yanzhu.

In a game that requires multi-player cooperation, there must be some kind of communication system to facilitate communication between players, such as the "guestbook" in Fantasyland.

Whether it's a secret word or sending and receiving emails, you can use it cleverly to obtain information.

In many games, even if the message fails to be sent, you can determine the status of the recipient through system prompts such as "The player is offline", "The player does not exist", "The player has the blocking function turned on", "The player is in a special area", etc.

Although there is no such explicit hint in the illusion, many things can be inferred from the failure of the message itself.

is also a dead character, and the letters to Yin Jue and Tears can be sent smoothly, so why can't it be given to Yanzhu?

Does this mean that, like her, the player who plays the role of Yin Jue is still in this world, but with a different identity?

Thinking of this, March's heart jumped, and he casually threw the note off the cliff and walked back to the inn quickly.

She had to go to the forums and gather some information.

Shortly after March's departure, two people roamed and came to the Muyue Cliff.

"Is there a moon festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Youqing looked up at the moon.

"I think too much, the moon festival is only once a year, on May 15." Fu Cang replied.

"Don't those priests usually work?"

Working only one day a year is too laid-back.

"It is said that most of these priests are residents of Izumo Castle, but there are also a few outsiders, so I don't know exactly how they were selected." "They should have their own lives in normal times, and they will only gather in Izumo a few days before the moon festival." By the way, the priests are all white-haired, and guess why? ”

"Because white is a symbol of purity, indicating that they are very devout to the gods?"

Fu Cang laughed, "Because the white dye is the cheapest." ”

Youqing looked sideways at him, her eyes a little puzzled.

"The priests believed that the sacrifice required a temporary renunciation of mortal status and detachment from the world. Therefore, they dyed their hair white, wore animal skin clothes, wore totemic masks, and hid their identities. Fu Cang said slowly, "Do you want to try it too?" ”

"yes, it's a pity I didn't have a chance." Yuqing continued to look at the moon.

The catastrophe is less than half a year away, and when the time comes, whether the catastrophe is successful or not, this game will come to an end. Presumably, she will not see the next moon sacrifice ceremony.

"Didn't the Simon family live on Yingzhou Island? I guess there are priests in your people. ”

"Maybe."

The two stood on the cliff for a while and left one after another.

"I heard that the Dongfeng family has a marriage contract with your family?" Before entering the inn, Fu Cang asked tentatively.

"We can still be friends without mentioning this." Youqing said indifferently.
