The inhabitants of Tren City do not have their own shops, and on sunny days, they bring their wares to the rotunda to set up stalls. One moment it was the execution ground where witches were burned, but this moment it has become a lively place for buying and selling. The bearded man went to trade with the town hall on his own, and Qing Chi Qing Chi wandered around the bazaar in Tren City, asking these NPCs about the situation by the way. Today's sunshine is very good, and for the extremely cold continent, such weather is very rare. Under the crystal snowdrifts, someone is walking with a snow dog, the sound of the bard's organ can be heard from a distance, and a choking smoke rises from the iron-smelting room. Qing Chi passed by the food stall, and a female boss named Vasha waved her hand at Qing Chi, "Adventurers from afar, don't you buy a little fresh meat to take away?" ”

Qing Chi paused. In front of the food stall, I don't know what kind of meat has been shaved to the bone. The flesh is still covered with blood, and the fine lines and pink color look very good in the sun. Sure enough, it was very fresh meat.

"Hehe, Vasha's meat is always the best in Tren City, even better than beef! This is the meat of a hunted snow fox. The stall owner next to him enthusiastically helped Vasha in her business, "Buy some, adventurer, it only costs 50 gold coins." ”

Qing Chi glanced at Vasha, who was wearing a bear skin and a fox head wrapped around his neck, dressed very charmingly, showing a stiff smile, and for some reason felt a little strange in his heart. Although this meat is very fresh, it makes people not want to eat it**.

Just as Qing Chi was about to replenish some arrows, a team of patrolling guards came over from the side. The guard who had spoken to Qing Chi yesterday nodded at her. Suddenly, as he passed by Qing Chi, he convulsed and fell to the ground, letting out a miserable scream from his mouth. Qing Chi turned his head suddenly, only to see a lot of black mist suddenly appear on his body, and black magic patterns suddenly drilled out from the center of his eyebrows, directly covering his body. In just a few seconds, he was corroded into a pile of rotten flesh and then into a pile of black skeletons.

The cold feeling spread in Qing Chi's heart. Despite being just an NPC, Qing Chi had to sympathize with him. Just last night, after the questioning, the guard was still patrolling in the cold night with a lamp, singing a lullaby for his daughter. "Destiny" is too much like a real world, these NPCs don't always stay in one place, each little person has their own life and trajectory, even if they are a bunch of set data, they are still artificially given family, career and life routes. Recalling what the black-robed woman said, Qing Chi had to shudder. God will forgive people, but demons will not. Could it be that Eve, the black-robed woman with a strange magic pattern, cursed these people who participated in burning her? No wonder she said she wanted to find out the truth herself. Qing Chi frowned, relying on her means, it was very easy to kill someone, and she didn't have to wait until the scene was caught. Could it be that there was someone else who killed those children? Qing Chi found the owner of the grocery store and asked about the situation, and immediately went to the place where the children were missing. There must be something else hidden in this incident, and if you don't find out the truth, most of the NPCs here will die.

Once an NPC in Destiny dies, it will not be resurrected, nor will it be replaced by a new character. This is also the serious consequence of a player in the previous life who maliciously slaughtered a town mayor, causing that town to wither directly, directly affecting the tasks of many players, and finally going to the official to renew the NPC. But the official has also repeatedly stated that it will not easily resurrect NPCs, the Mandate of Heaven Continent is a real fantasy world, and each little person has his own life trajectory. Since then, no player has dared to slaughter NPCs at will.

Qing arrived late to find the place where the children were missing, questioned the nearby residents, and found some commonalities. The children were all missing at nightfall. Before he disappeared, a child said he had seen a nest of snow foxes and wanted to bring them back. As a result, he never came back. Qing Chi propped his chin and unfolded the map of Tren City, counting, these five children all lived in the middle and upper floors, four of them were missing, only the last dead city lord's youngest daughter kept her body, which was found by many people, and the murderer may not have had time to transport her body away. If the place where the lord's daughter is located is the apex of a semi-arc, then the place where the other children disappeared is exactly connected in an arc. If the crime is committed in a short period of time and can be successfully escaped, according to the distance, the murderer must live within the semicircle of a circle drawn by this arc. Qing Chi is glad that he has always maintained the habit of watching reasoning. The inference to this is easy to draw. On the map, several houses inhabiting this area indicate the owner. Qing Chi browsed for a moment, his eyes fixed in front of Vasha's house. Thinking of the silver fox that the child said, Qing Chi suddenly felt a cool air rising from the soles of his feet, those fresh meats that made people think about it and be extremely frightened......

A character's skill attributes can affect the success or failure of lockpicking. Fortunately, Vasha's door lock was only intermediate, and Qing Chi tried to pry it with a crowbar a few times, and finally opened the door lock. Now Vasha hasn't come home yet. Qing Chi sneaked into the house. The walls of Vasha are covered with deer heads and bear skins harvested from hunting. Qing Chi searched the house for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a mutilated bloody handprint next to the large closet. It seems that the switch to the secret room is there. Qing Chi opened the wardrobe and turned the dark compartment inside, and sure enough, the large wardrobe against the wall opened from the back, which was the door of a secret room. The ground inside the door was already stained with reddish-brown dried blood. On the table was a black, ugly-looking statue of a serpent-like woman, coated in dried blood, and flanked by a few tiny hearts. In the corner of the wall were a jumble of human bones and children's rags. This statue Qingchi is no stranger, there are three major demon gods under the command of the demon king, namely the cruel demon god, the deception demon god and the bloodthirsty demon god. The most obvious symbols on their bodies are the Blood Scythe Sword, the Crow, and the Snake Woman. This was mentioned in the "History of the Demon Race" in the Great Library. Now this statue is clearly that of the Bloodthirsty Demon God, who likes to eat blood, especially the blood of young children. Although the Demon King has not yet recovered, these Demon God Statues still possess the ability to deceive people's hearts. A huge phantom suddenly appeared from the statue of the snake-bodied woman, shouting in Qing Chi's ear: "Give me blood!" I will give you supreme power! Don't you want to be stronger? If you help me bring me the blood of another child, I will be resurrected! Qing Chi sneered and interrupted the Demon God's bewitchment, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in being your faithful servant, you go and die." Qing Chi took out a bottle of holy water and poured it directly from the top of the Demon God Statue's head, the Demon God Phantom screamed a few times and slowly disappeared, and a few wisps of black smoke flew out of the Demon God Statue and dissipated in an instant. Qing Chi kicked the Demon God Statue into the air, and at the same time set up an arrow and shot it violently, successfully shooting the Demon God Statue into pieces.
