The so-called investigation has reached an impasse before it has been carried out in the real sense.

It's not just the duo of Imberka and Vanessa on the surface, but there are also many people who are secretly keeping an eye on Kolotia. However, no one noticed any unusual behavior in Kolotia, except that she snuggled up in her room every day to read books, send and receive letters, and had very few records of going out, and almost no communication with anyone else. It is said that some of the people who were sent to monitor were noticed by Kolotia and forcibly pulled over to chat and drink tea with her.

In short, as far as the observations are concerned, Kolotia, as the "first suspect", has basically done nothing in the past few days.

However, contrary to what some people might think, even though Kolotia had done everything, something unexpected had happened - someone had disappeared again, and this was the fifth time with the previous four. Thanks to those who watched, at the time of the fifth disappearance, Kolotia was given a highly credible alibi.

Unlike previous times, this time the disappeared had little to do with the small guilds that had been involved in covert dealings. Rather, he is a member of the largest guild in the entire Sun City, the "Wind from a Distance".

Before the "Guild Collaboration Meeting" began, the three hosts of the Collaboration Conference agreed to release the players who had been imprisoned for the massacre of natives. Instead, let them join their guilds and resume their normal gaming activities with the necessary supervision.

And this time, the missing person is none other than a certain arcane mage player who is supervised by the distant wind.

The incident took place at the Sunny City Airship Ping, where their team had just returned to the city, intending to use the merit points accumulated during the mission to exchange for some equipment. However, on the way from the tarmac of Sunny City to the administrative district of Sunny City, he was attacked by some people wearing night clothes. By the time they were resurrected in the sanctuary of the Cathedral of the Sunny City, the people had already disappeared.

After being attacked, he never came back to life. Appears in the player's "Friends" list as normal, online, and undead, but no one sees him again. This has never happened before, and the protection provided by what was considered an infallible game system is as if it were ineffective.

Rumors about these "killers" were instantly suppressed, and such news spread rapidly among players.

Sun City Elf District, the door to Kolotia's inn room.

Corotia opened the door when she heard a knock, only to find five or six people standing in front of her—all of them, except for the bald one in the middle, who was more familiar, and the others were almost unfamiliar faces with inexplicably tangled expressions.

However, although it was unfamiliar, after seeing the player's name on their head, Kolotia immediately frowned.

"What's the matter? I'm reading a book right now. ”

The implication is, don't bother me if it's okay.

The tone is quite cold.,Different from the usual feeling of "it seems to be absent-minded so it makes people feel a little cold".,The look at this time is obviously the meaning of "rejection, disgust".

However, it is also unavoidable.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Antun in the middle.

"That's ......"

So, it was up to Andun to explain to Kolotia what they were all about. Because it wasn't a complicated matter in itself, Antun relayed the rumors of the "Player Killer" to Kolotia in two or three sentences.

……

As she listened, Kolotia grabbed a strand of her long purple hair and played with her fingers, as if she didn't seem to care very much, or rather......

Deliberately show that he is not interested.

"Player killer? Is there such a thing? Kolotia tilted her head, and her tone was still not salty: "So my suspicion has been lifted?" That's good news for me. ”

“……”

Kolotia's tone was understated, but everyone else present could see the helplessness and disappointment in those purple eyes, as if they never wanted to see them again—and Kolotia had a reason for that.

"It's hard to get rid of the relationship, I don't want to get involved with you anymore. Of course, I still hope that some people can make up for the financial damage caused to me by their actions, and it would be better if there are moral damages. ”

In short, just don't do it.

This is quite a faceless statement.

The few people who were deliberately swept by Kolotia's gaze all subconsciously shrank their necks.

If you ask, "Is there anyone in the player community who knows something about psychic spells, death mechanics, and so on?" I'm afraid that most well-informed players will be the first to think of Kolotia.

However, Kolotia's attitude at the moment is completely "uncooperative". Although they had expected such a thing at first, they eventually went to Antun and asked him for help in contacting Kolotia.

But it is clear that even if an old friend is here, Kolotia does not intend to give face.

"Kolotia, this is someone missing. They are also so anxious because of the disappearance of their relatives, so they are more or less considerate, right? ”

At this time, the one who is qualified to stand out from the crowd is the president of "Traveler's Tears".

Kolotia turned her gaze to Anton, stared at it for two seconds, and then turned away:

"To tell you the truth, I can't help. As you all know, this incident is that someone died and never came back to life, and I don't know how it works, and I can't imagine it. Now that the new death mechanic has only been in place for a little over a month, and nothing like this has ever happened, what can I do? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please go back, I still have to read. ”

In this way, Kolotia stood at the door of her house and closed the door in front of a large number of guild leaders.

According to the game system, this kind of "private space" cannot be entered unless it is allowed by the owner. And the inside and outside are soundproofed, and if you block the notification, even if someone knocks on the door, you won't know.

"Originally, it was a player who lived in the same city, and I couldn't see it when I looked down. It's good now......" Anton sighed, then shook his head, "No way, I'll go back first." She should have a good temper, she may be angry now, and you can try to apologize alone in two days. ”

With Antun came mainly the presidents of the small guilds where people had disappeared.

A bunch of desperate but helpless guys.

For that kind of small guild, although it is not enough to say that it is a relative, but in a strange world for more than half a year, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.

Anton had brought them over with this in mind, but it was clear that Kolotia was angry this time.

"I can't help it." So Antun had no choice but to leave a few of them behind and go back on his own.

This time, the people from the distant winds didn't follow, but their leader, Milhouse Mango, seems to have begun to mobilize the guild members who are still active in the vicinity of Sun City to start a search.

Because "someone is missing in Sunny City" is now a well-known thing, a large-scale joint search of the guilds in Sunny City has also been launched. But with little success, almost no new and valuable information was obtained, and on the contrary, the whole city became panicked.

There is a "killer" in Sun City who can make players disappear.

This kind of news has made many players start to think about moving elsewhere.

Compared to the other main cities, Sun City, as the capital of the human kingdom, is indeed much better in terms of habitability. After all, the qiē here is more in line with human habits, and the towns are large and populous, so it is very convenient to do anything, whether it is trading or forming a team, it is incomparable to other towns.

It felt like it had become the center of the entire Alliance.

However, no one wants their life and freedom to be threatened by this process. Among the players who have certain assets in their hands and are high enough level, many of them have really started to move out.

It's only been two days.
