I'm really afraid of something!

Sui Yu didn't care about taking on any tasks that needed to kill dangerous monsters, nor did he care about accepting the task of becoming a mercenary to fight with robbers and enemy armies, he was afraid of receiving some strange tasks that he didn't know how to complete!

Solving the mystery or something is really the most annoying!

Especially when there was almost no introduction in the mission information, and even the completion rewards were dismissed with the sentence "calculate the rewards according to the number of people saved", Sui Yu felt even more numb.

"Mina, I feel like I'm in trouble this time! How do I feel about the difficulty of this mission, if not epic, but also legendary! ”

In fact, the task system in "Chaos World" does not have a clear level division, and the so-called epic legend or something is just a vague positioning for players according to the difficulty of completing the task.

The normal quest is as simple as asking the player to go somewhere to kill a monster or protect an NPC. Not only is this task indicated by a systematic arrow, but it is also not difficult to complete. Although the rewards are very small, it is very convenient for players to use this kind of task to level up in the early game.

The hardest epic quests have little to no mission instructions, and even many of these quests are almost impossible to complete even if triggered by a player.

Just like the "Empress Counterattack" task that Sui Yu accepted at the beginning, there was only one sentence of introduction: "Counterattack!" Philomena! "It's a clear representation of epic quests, and there's not even a quest reward.

But fortunately, judging from the fact that there is at least an introduction to the task reward on the accepted "mysterious disappearance" mission, even if this task is weird, it should be a legendary task at most. And the difficulty is probably still in solving puzzles, and the real combat difficulty is not high.

But Sui Yu really doesn't want to solve the puzzle!

The devil knows what the mystery is! Especially if this is the real world, if it is in the game world, then you can guess the mentality of the programmer who wrote the task to reverse deduce the answer to the puzzle, but the real world is completely unreasonable. Who knows if this incident is an additional impact of a larger event?

Even Sui Yu suspected that perhaps the culprit of this situation might not understand what he had done!

The more Sui Yu analyzes it, the more he feels that this time it is really troublesome, and I am afraid that the serial mission will really be stuck.

Just as Sui Yu was thinking about what tone he should use to cry out loud to express his sadness, Philomena, who heard Sui Yu's complaints, comforted him with message magic: "It seems that my original task should have been more difficult, right?" You've done all the hard tasks, and this time you can definitely complete them! ”

"And......" Philomena came to Sui Yu's side and smiled at Sui Yu and whispered, "This time it's not you who are trying to complete the task alone!" We won't be like we used to be able to watch and not be able to help you! Let's work together, maybe this task will be completed soon! ”

"Yes! Now I'm not alone! Thinking of this, Sui Yu immediately turned his head to the receptionist and said, "Our Heavenly Spirit Mercenary Group has taken this task!" Please send us the relevant information! ”

"Okay!" The kind receptionist smiled and immediately ran behind the counter. Soon brought a dozen materials to Sui Yu.

Subsequently, Sui Yu and his entourage found a table and began to study the information at hand under the gratitude of the villagers.

This is not the usual kind of task to fight and kill, to deal with this kind of strange mission, we must start with intelligence and strive to find an opportunity to complete the task!

However, the Mercenary Guild doesn't seem to have much information, and there isn't much information other than a map of the nearby villages and the investigation records brought back by the surviving mercenaries.

And most of the records brought back by those mercenaries are vague and look messy - no way, most of the people who do mercenaries are illiterate, and most of the cultivation skills of becoming professionals rely on word of mouth. Therefore, very few mercenaries will do mission records.

It would be nice to have a few people in the mercenary group who could barely write, and they couldn't be demanding that people write detailed and detailed records.

So, the villagers spontaneously stood next to them and verbally described the specific process of the mysterious disappearance for everyone, combined with those messy investigation reports, Sui Yu and they finally understood the strangeness of this disappearance.

Most of the missing were children, and while this is close to the speculation of some cultists about blood sacrifices (a speculation recorded by an experienced mercenary), it is strange that the priests sent by the Holy See of Light did not detect the surging resentment and evil aura generated by the blood sacrifice in the vicinity.

It has been three or four months since the incident occurred. The total number of missing children reached hundreds. It stands to reason that such a large number should be enough for a blood sacrifice. But judging from the fact that there is still no obvious evil aura emanating from it, either the group of cultists who kidnapped the children may have to play a big game, or the kidnappers are not cultists at all.

However, it is very unreasonable to say that the kidnappers of children are human traffickers. Not to mention that in this war-torn world, children simply can't sell for a price (due to the war. There are not too many orphans, there is no need to abduct and sell other people's children), and by checking the information, it says that the children are missing very strangely, and most of the missing children are lost by themselves.

Yes. Although the mercenaries in front of them were scared back because many of their colleagues disappeared without investigation, they still investigated a lot of strange phenomena.

Just like a mercenary, he once heard the prophetic mage in a mercenary group trace the history of some children when they disappeared, and found that all those children left the home by themselves, and then suddenly disappeared directly from the prophetic mage when they walked to certain locations.

This disappearance is very weird, because the prophecy spell is tracking back a person, and this sudden disappearance is as if this person suddenly disappeared from the world.

However, at the last moment, instead of seeing the child killed or killed, he disappeared out of thin air, as if he had been directly erased from the conceptual level, which made people feel confused and therefore unable to trace.

What's even more unbelievable is that the footprints left on the lime by a child who disappeared in the quarry did not appear until they disappeared, and this was confirmed by the gaze of a prophetic mage when he found that location by tracing the past.

"Could it be that the child flew away on his own?" Millie, who likes to fly around the sky twice all day, made a more reliable guess, and then Hakoya pointed to the investigation record below and said, "But there is a wind mage to confirm." There are no mana fluctuations left by wind magic such as flying spells. ”

"So you didn't leave with magic?" Kanami tried her best to make a "I'm thinking" appearance and replied seriously: "Then that kid may have passed the first shinobi exam...... Ah! ”

Kanami covered her head and looked at Sui Yu with teary eyes, and Sui Yu said to her angrily: "There is no profession like a ninja in this world, not to mention, professionals are generally regulated in this world, how can a child who stays with his parents all day and has absolutely no contact with cultivation become a thief professional?" ”

"It could also be some old man...... Oops! Kanami didn't finish arguing, and was knocked out by Sui Yu again.

It seems that Kanami is really stupid to listen to the story, even if there is really a suspicious old man, he climbed the chimney in the middle of the night and sneaked into the house, not to steal incense and jade, nor to throw gifts into other people's socks, but to secretly teach children the knowledge of various professions. And that child is also gifted, and can comprehend all kinds of skills and knowledge at a young age. But now that the total number of missing children is about to exceed a thousand, what a painful old man can be so energetic and sneak around cultivating disciples?!

With a snap, Philomena closed the record that recorded a lot of repetitive information, and then suggested to Sui Yu: "The more you look at these materials, the more chaotic it becomes, or let's go directly to the place where the incident occurred!" ”

"Okay! Great! Philomena's suggestion was immediately agreed by Kanami and Millie, who were already on the verge of sitting still.

Sui Yu naturally thought that the information on the data was almost mastered, so he immediately agreed to Philomena's suggestion.

Of course, before leaving, Sui Yu also asked the receptionist for a copy of the map and some more unique inferences.

Sui Yu also spent five more silver coins for this.

No way, in this world. Although there is a technique of movable type printing combined with alchemy and the technology of making parchment using alchemy. However, because the cost is always relatively high, paper and photocopying need to cost a lot of money.

To be honest, if Sui Yu hadn't remembered what the principles of printing and papermaking were, he would have wanted to use the scientific knowledge of the original world to make more money in this world by promoting printing and papermaking.

Of course, this also has something to do with Sui Yu's lack of trustworthy partners. Ress has developed a lot of technologies that can be used in this world, but Sui Yu has never agreed to these technologies appearing in human society.

Intellectual property rights are not such a thing in this world, and if you don't publish the technology you master, you will make a wedding dress for others! Sui Yucai is not interested in contributing to the development of other people's careers!

At this time, Sui Yu, who had obtained the information, rode a horse and embarked on a journey again. Of course. Those villagers didn't follow, so Sui Yu didn't have time to take care of these villagers. What's more, those villagers plan to stay in Bryce Town to see if they can get better enough of more mercenaries......

Yes. Although those villagers were very enthusiastic about Sui Yu, they were so disappointed that the villagers didn't think that Sui Yu and they could solve the mystery, so they planned to stay in Bryce Town with the mentality of casting a wide net and continue to look for mercenary groups or mercenary teams willing to help.

Sui Yu didn't feel angry about this, but supported them very much, the puzzle-solving task is that the more people involved, the more likely it is to solve it, in order not to be stuck in his own serial tasks. Sui Yu couldn't wait for all the masters in the world to come and study this task with him!

It's just that when this mission is already famous, I'm afraid Sui Yu doesn't have to worry about getting help from others.

Sure enough, after a day's drive finally arrived at the village where the incident occurred, Sui Yu and his party were immediately warmly received. And when Sui Yu asked the villagers how many mercenary groups were investigating now. Sure enough, I got the answer that there was no mercenary group investigation.

Although there are some solo mercenaries with a greater sense of justice who are investigating this incident, those solo mercenaries are limited in strength and seem to have made zero progress.

Of course, after Fanny eavesdropped on the conversations between the villagers through covert movements, it seems that those scattered mercenaries have not made any progress, but those mercenaries who have made progress have no one knows-the mercenaries who are close to the truth seem to be missing, and others naturally don't know what they have investigated!

After getting this information from Fanny, Sui Yu felt chills all over his body, and instinctively, Sui Yu felt that this incident was too weird and dangerous.

And Philomena also seemed to sense the danger of this mission at this time, so she couldn't help but suggest to Sui Yu: "Why don't you transfer some people from Avalon to investigate, and Yu just stay in a safe place in the rear and wait for news." ”

Sui Yu, who was really planning to retreat, lost his temper when he heard Philomena's suggestion: "Are you telling me to stay in a safe place and let everyone go on adventures and fight hard?!" Can't do it! ”

Although his own life is more important, Sui Yu cares more about the lives of the war concubines!

Especially in this real world where it has not been confirmed whether the system that can be used to resurrect the war queen can be used normally, Sui Yu is even more reluctant to let the war queen take risks for him!

"But ......"

"Nothing! I will never allow people to leave me forever to protect me! No one! Sui Yu's roar silenced all the warrior concubines who wanted to persuade him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." Sui Yu quickly apologized after seeing everyone's silence, and then changed the topic a little bluntly: "Now, let's discuss how the investigation should be conducted, shall we?" ”

Next, the battle concubines discussed with Sui Yu for a long time, and after negating all kinds of strange possibilities (provided by Kanami kindly), Sui Yu and they unanimously decided to investigate those families with missing children door to door, and then decide on the next step if there are any special things that need to be cared about before the child disappears.

Since nearly a thousand children have disappeared, plus the number of missing mercenary groups and scattered mercenaries, Sui Yu's investigation workload will be very huge.

But there is no way, I really can't find a better way, so Sui Yu still decided to use this stupid method to gradually veto various possibilities by touching the row, and then the remaining possibilities may be the answer to the question!

The plan was decided, and the warrior concubines immediately acted in pairs, and soon, the surrounding villages and towns spread the legend of the goddess descending to the earth to save the suffering - no way, Sui Yu and his party are too easy to be mistaken for goddesses, especially in this period of turmoil and turmoil, it is easier for human beings to yearn for that ethereal salvation through faith!

In this regard, Sui Yu said: "What do those guys who point at me and shout goddesses mean? I'm a pure man, okay?! ”

In this way, one morning after more than a week of Sui Yu's resentful investigation, Philomena suddenly broke into Sui Yu's room with a map in her excitement.

"I thought of it! The scope of the culprit is determined! We'll soon find out the truth! Philomena rushed in shouting while waving the map in her hand, and then Sui Yu's room resounded with a mixed scream that resounded through the sky...... (To be continued.) )
