There is Feng Qiwu: "I have important information about the hidden copy, wait for me in the White Chess Palace." ”

Youfeng Qiwu: "I've arrived in the dusk woods, you guys hurry up and come out to find me." ”

- These are the last two messages in the team's channel.

……

Wei Fengci chose a relatively open place to sit down. Xiao Chang, who had been inseparable before, didn't know where to go now.

The scenery here is stunning, very different from the silence and ruin of the Borderless River.

Although the name of the forest has the word "dusk" in its name and is surrounded by dead leaves, the sight of golden color always gives people a sense of vitality.

At this time, there were still twenty-three minutes left before Wei Fengci was killed by the Void Trace. But he didn't do anything. The agreed message has been posted on the team's channel, but none of the other three have appeared here.

Everything seems strange. It's also weird.

Wei Fengci is still waiting. He doesn't have much time, it should be said, it's imminent.

But he wasn't in much of a hurry.

Maybe someone will be more anxious than him.

There are only twenty minutes left in the countdown to the Void Trace. Footsteps staggered in the nearby woods.

It's the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves, and the terrain here is so realistic that the ground is full of fallen leaves, but anyone walking around can hear it clearly in the headphones.

And the voice had not been heard before. The owner of the voice has also been waiting here for a long time.

Wei Fengci in front of the screen laughed softly. He turned his perspective.

The man who came slowly was MadHatter, the Mad Hatter.

That crazy, weirdly dressed Lori NPC.

"What are you doing here? Little brother? ”

The Mad Hatter giggled, her voice had the delicate nature of a little girl, and it was a very nice type. But what she said was always like her people, not very well received.

"I'm waiting for you." Wei Fengci said with a smile.

"Really? Aren't you waiting for your companion? The Mad Hatter's tone didn't show much surprise, and it seemed that an NPC wouldn't have any extra expressions. She just looked around boredly, yawning, and said:

"How's your life with the Queen of Hearts? Isn't that old witch very unpopular, hehe......"

"It's good." Wei Fengci replied:

"Harvest...... Maybe it's about the same as you. ”

He has something to say.

The mad hat didn't seem to understand, blinked, and poked his head with the pocket candy umbrella in his hand:

"Hey—I said, the White Queen has received the wind that the Queen of Hearts' army has passed through the town of Delaver, you guys, aren't you going to help?"

"Even if you've pulled out your weapon, you won't be able to win me just by sneak attack." Wei Fengci said suddenly. His tone was smiling:

"You haven't made a move yet, are you afraid that my other teammates will ambush you? You can rest assured of this...... I've sent a private message to get them to leave. ”

The Mad Hat finally stopped pretending to be crazy and stupid, her smile retracted, and she looked like Fang Cai's innocent and crazy appearance.

"How did you find me?"

"The first time I realized that you weren't right was when you spoke to us after you killed Hulkhard." Wei Fengci smiled:

"I remember that at that time, Xiao Chang, the explorer on our team, asked 'Is this person an NPC?' The most interesting thing is that the phrase is sent through the voice of the team, that is, the real NPC...... You shouldn't be able to hear us. ”

The Mad Hat was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled:

"The little thing is quite scheming."

"Also, the timing of your appearance also makes me feel very strange, if you really want to help the player, as an NPC, you didn't appear for a long time, but you came out to rob the ......monster when Hulk Hade was about to be killed by me," Wei Fengci said:

"Killing Hulkhard, I was promoted to level six. It seems like a lot of experience, but in terms of the reward for killing the boss solo, it's really not quite right. In other words, Hulkhald's experience is half of what you share, right? ”

The Mad Hatter shrugged his shoulders and disapprovingly:

"Yes and what? Besides, on that alone you can conclude that I have ill will towards you? ”

"Yes." Wei Fengci smiled:

"My teammates have fallen into a common sense blind spot, and since when they first entered the quest, they only saw four players, so it was taken for granted that the number of people involved in this quest was only four - after all, a team quest has a maximum of four people."

He narrowed his eyes slightly:

"However, before the game started, I carefully read the official website information of "Long-cherished Wish 2...... So I also noticed that the full number of team dungeons is four people, but the number of players who match the dungeon is actually not online. ”

"Plus the skills you use when you output to the Hulkhald...... Although it's a type I haven't seen before. But coincidentally, in addition to browsing the official website of my long-cherished wish, I also read a forum post when I had nothing to do......"

At that time, Wei Fengci was just out of gossip, and read the post titled "S7 Master Duan Players Predict What the New Professional Dance Heavenly Girl Is".

The content of the post is actually a skill explanation and prediction of the warm-up demonstration video of the newly released professional "dance fighter" in "Long-cherished Wish 2", which is quite reasonable.

"The main weapon of the Dance Fighter is also a new weapon model of the Wish 2, which is said to be called the Umbrella Staff, which is a class that combines magic damage and close-range attacks, and is positioned as a melee mage...... These traits match the skills you use when attacking Hulkhald. ”

"So far, you're right. But you still don't get to the point. The Mad Hatter pouted:

"Why, do you think I'm your enemy?"

"That's what kept me wondering for the first hour." Wei Fengci smiled helplessly:

"Although I think you are suspicious, I have never found evidence that you are our enemy. It wasn't until later that you said something that reminded me. ”

"Huh?" The Mad Hat blinked: "When did I say I slipped my mouth?" ”

"As we reached the fork, I asked you why you didn't know about our mission, since you were the queen of hearts' guest...... You said it because you are 'Infernal Affairs'. ”

Wei Fengci smiled:

"The concept of a spy completely inspired me, and let me string together some of the details before you even appeared, and guessed the whole thing in a rough way."

"The first thing, and the last thing I understand, is that your ID is called MadHatter, which is the Mad Hatter...... But if you know that you're not an NPC, but a real player, where does the real 'Mad Hatter' as an NPC go? Your ID is also a mad hatter, is it just a simple coincidence? After thinking about it, the only possibility is that the system has already assumed that your character in this quest is the Mad Hatter, not an outsider like us...... Therefore, the tasks that the system releases to you are also independent from our players. Perhaps, in order to give you this identity, the system also deliberately blurred your original ID, so that we can see that it is the name of the Mad Hatter. ”

The Mad Hatter grinned:

"That's what my ID was when I signed up."

"Okay." Wei Fengci shrugged:

"Then let's move on to the second point that puzzles me. The Mad Hatter should belong to the camp of the good guys in the original setting of Alice in Wonderland, and it stands to reason that it should not be our enemy...... So, what exactly happened to make it possible to turn an NPC from the good guy camp into an antagonist? ”

"The third thing that puzzles me is that the overall difficulty of this dungeon is not quite right. Whether it's the wolf you encountered at the beginning, or the Hulkhald afterward, the series of battles make me feel that as an initial copy to familiarize players with the game, the overall difficulty is on the high side. Why? ”

"The fourth, and most important, doubt...... Since this quest is based on 'Alice in Wonderland'...... Then ......" Wei Fengci narrowed his eyes slightly:

Alice...... Where did it go? ”

"In the course of the game I experienced, Alice's existence was revealed in many NPC dialogues, and she is also a real character in this story, so it stands to reason that she should also be an important, if not the main NPC. But she never appeared, making many of the task links seem fragmented, trivial, and incoherent. ”

"Until ......" Wei Fengci took a deep breath:

"While exploring the Palace of Hearts, I came across a wardrobe."

"Wardrobe?" The Mad Hat was stunned:

"Big brother, what are you talking about? Don't have a clear mind? ”

"A wardrobe that can teleport people to another space." Wei Fengci explained:

"I tried to get into that closet, and I was teleported to the bungalow where I first entered the dungeon. The rabbit who showed us the way explained that Alice had escaped from the Kingdom of Hearts after stealing the Queen of Hearts' teacup through the closet......"

He took a deep breath:

"Since then, a hypothesis has popped up in my head."

"This hypothesis perfectly explains every doubt I have just raised."

"If this assumption is correct, then every action I know you have done has become understandable and traceable."

Wei Fengci narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the Mad Hatter deeply.

He said firmly:

"Alice, it's dead."

After speaking. He suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone:

"Moreover, Alice was killed by a few of our players."
