"Old Shen, why are you so strange today?" The fat man said suspiciously.

"Hmm...... It's nothing but a little emotional when I see that post! Shen Fan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"If you want me to say it, many of the posts on the forum are hunting articles written casually by some marketing accounts in order to attract eyeballs and attract clicks, just take a look at it and don't take it to heart!" The fat man comforted this Shen Fan.

"What would you do if that really happened?" Shen Fan hesitated, but continued the topic.

The fat man laughed: "If that day really comes, I will follow you!" Lao Shen, you will be the eldest brother at that time, and I will be your little brother! Don't you want me then! ”

"Perhaps!" Shen Fan muttered

At the time of the shutdown update, the game world of "Prosperous Times" did not stop running, the NPCs in the game still sat and did what they were supposed to do, their lives were similar to those in the real world, and the only difference may be the latitude of the space.

It's another sunny morning, and the only thing that's different today for system NPCs is the lack of those inhuman players who were born out of nowhere.

Yangzhou Huiji County .........

"Lao Li, get up so early today!" Boss Wang, who runs a pawnshop, was directing the men to open the door, and happened to see Boss Li from the clothing store next door and said hello.

"Don't you wake up early, too! I'm afraid the sound is not very good today! Lao Li said in greetings.

"If the strangers don't come, the streets are deserted a lot!" Lao Wang said.

"Who's to say it isn't!"

The game is updated, the player is offline, and what is shown in the game is the disappearance of Inhumans, and the talk of Boss Wang and Boss Li about the disappearance of Inhumans is only at this level, and no one says the reason for the disappearance of Inhumans.

Or that all system NPCs don't care about the reason for the disappearance of Inhumans, this is all the arrangement of the system, and all the "unreasonable" about Inhumans is so reasonable.

Boss Li suddenly walked to Boss Wang's side and said mysteriously: "Lao Wang, have you heard, something happened to the Yu family in the north of the city!" ”

"Yu family! Something is wrong! Lao Wang was not only shocked when he heard Boss Li's words.

"Lao Li, be quiet!" Lao Li hurriedly reminded Boss Wang.

"What the hell is going on, you say?" Boss Wang also said eagerly in a low voice.

"I heard that there was a villain last night, and I heard that there were more than 300 people in the family, all of whom were .....," Lao Li said and finally stopped, and the second half of the sentence was self-evident.

"How is this possible! Can bandits still enter the city, or destroy the gate, how is this possible! ”

"Who says it's not, the well-known good man in the north of the city, it is impossible to seek revenge, to say that it is for money, but which bandit dares to run to the city to rob the house, this is the county town, the city is a high-ranking soldier and the county guard is in charge, which unsightly bandit dares to come! Besides, if it's really for money, how can you kill someone! Lao Li sighed in a low voice.

"Don't you care about this?" Lao Wang said indignantly.

"Who knows, in the early hours of the morning, I heard the sound of soldiers passing by on the street, and I am afraid that the county guard is also investigating!"

"This is too strange!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

......................................

.....................

If it weren't for the tragedy of the Yu family in the north of the city, today would also be a peaceful and quiet day.

Bang bang bang!

The knock on the door rang three times and was gone.

"Come in!" There was no one else sitting in the room, and it was officially the county guard of the county.

With a squeak, the door opened, and a dark shadow came in, dressed in black in broad daylight, how awkward to look.

Xu Zhao just glanced up and didn't look out of the ordinary: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Zhao said lightly.

"Back to my lord, everything is done, and according to the adult's will, there is no one left!" The man in black reached out and made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Did you get the thing?" Xu Zhao still had that indifferent expression and tone.

"I've got everything!" The man in black lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at all.

The man in black, who had lost hundreds of lives overnight, didn't even dare to come out in front of Xu Zhao, and the man in black knew that hundreds of names were just a matter of the upper lip touching the lower lip in the eyes of the person above.

"That's a good thing, okay, you can go down!" Xu Zhao blew the teacup and said lightly.

"Yes, sir!"

The man in black retreated as if he had been amnestied.

Xu Zhao took a sip of tea, breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the sparrows chirping on the books outside the window.

Perhaps the life of the uncle was not as interesting in the eyes of the county keeper as the sparrow that crowed in the tree.......................

"The sky is changing!" Xu Zhao, who was in a trance, muttered, not knowing who he was talking to.

Yujia in the north of the city........

The two big red lanterns hanging outside the door were particularly bright, as if they were not so bright yesterday.

The soldiers who came in the middle of the night had already woken up the neighbors from their sleep, and now the gate of the Yu family was already full of people, and the people who loved to watch the excitement had already occupied an excellent position, waiting for something.

If you come early, you can see the corpses carried out by the officers and soldiers.

"General, what should I do, more than 300 people were wiped out overnight, if this is spread out, I am afraid that Luoyang will also be shaken!" The deputy general surnamed Li lowered his voice and whispered to his immediate superior.

"Who was in charge of the defense of the city yesterday?" The middle-aged man known as the general said with a grim face.

"The counting day should be Zhang Guang of Dongying!" The adjutant replied.

"The general means that there are strong men entering the city and destroying the gates?" The lieutenant lowered his voice.

"I don't rule out the possibility!" The general said lightly.

"General, how can any bandit who doesn't open his eyes dare to enter the city to kill people, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter!" Said the adjutant general.

The general was indifferent ....

"General, you see, the wounds of the corpses are surprisingly consistent, all of them have their throats cut instantly, and they don't have time to make a sound, every corpse is like this, even if the bandits really sneak into the city and deliberately kill people, but this wound is not something that bandits can do!"

"What do you mean?" The general asked lightly.

"General, I mean that there is something strange about this matter, it is definitely not that the bandits deliberately entered the city to kill people, and after investigation, the property has not been lost much, if it is really the bandits who kill people for money, how can so much property be given up!"

"That's vendetta!" The general said impatiently

Road.

"It's impossible to kill for a vendetta, who in the whole Huiji doesn't know that the Yu family is a well-known good man, what a deep hatred it must be to destroy the door! It can't be a vendetta! The lieutenant said eagerly.

"What do you mean?" The general said lightly.

"This matter needs to be investigated, and the county keeper needs to personally intervene!" The adjutant said eagerly.

"Pass the order, the whole city will be under martial law, enter and exit the city will be strictly investigated, curfew at night, patrols will be strengthened, and places where foreign populations will gather! There is a good chance that the bandits who committed the crime are still in the city! After saying this, the general made a gesture and left.

The adjutant general hurriedly caught up with the general: "General, this can't be done by bandits, this is useless work!" ”

"That's what the bandits did! Don't get involved in this anymore! The general suddenly stopped and looked at his lieutenant and said word by word.

"But the general ..........."

Before the adjutant general finished speaking, he was stopped by the general: "Don't say it, there's nothing but, do what I say!" ”

The general paused and continued: "I should not have heard what you said today, and I must not say this kind of thing again!" ”

"Yes.... Checkmate! ”

Hundreds of people were killed overnight, and the wounds were surprisingly consistent, how could the city defense general not see the strangeness, every wound was surprisingly consistent, how could such a wound be made by the bandits, a rabble.

In the entire Huiji County, except for the secret guards of the county guard, who can wipe out the Yu family silently overnight.........

"General, what's going on?"

"Overnight, hundreds of people were gone, who did this?"

.......................

As soon as the city defense general walked out of the gate of Yu's house, the neighbors watching outside the door began to inquire about it.

"Everyone, be quiet!" The city defense general motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"The preliminary suspicion is that there are strongmen who have entered the city to commit crimes, it is very likely that they have not left, from now on, strengthen street patrols, implement curfews, never leave the house at night, and those who conceal relevant clues and do not report will be severely punished!" The general of the city defense declared.

Hearing that the city defense general himself said that there were bandits in the city, the crowd of onlookers was suddenly not calm!

"General, this is done by bandits, how did they get into the city, how many people must be there?"

"This bandit is too arrogant, let's go and ask the county guard to suppress the bandits."

"General, you have to arrest the bandits as soon as possible, otherwise the people in this city will be panicked!"

.............................. The crowd of onlookers chattered endlessly again.

"Please rest assured, I promise here that the bandits who committed the crime will be captured within three days, and the bandit cottage will be razed to the ground!" The city defense general swore and said.

"General, you have to do it as soon as possible, these bandits don't even let go of the Yu family, it's simply inhumane.............."

"How can the bandits have any humanity, the general has to arrest them quickly, if this case is not solved, it will be difficult for the people in the city to be stable!"

"Please rest assured!"

On the way back, the corners of the adjutant's mouth opened and closed, but in the end he still didn't ask the question..........

The city defense general knew that this was the result that the county guard wanted to see the most.
