Bai Xiaoqiu naturally didn't doubt Luohetu's professional qualities, and thought for a while and said: "If your feeling is correct, we can come up with another timeline - first of all, Ghost Wumian came to Red Lotus City with the Red Dragon's team, and the surrounding farmers were sick and poultry were stolen on a large scale; Then another ghost appeared in the forest, and it has not been noticed until now. This is in this order to perfectly explain the current situation. ”

Luo Hetu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then where did that ghost come from?" Could it be that the ghosts are sleepless and they release it to help them hunt? ”

"Impossible!" Bai Xiaoqiu replied very firmly, "Everyone knows that the Red Dragons can manipulate ghost things, if a ghost thing suddenly pops out of the forest, it is basically equivalent to announcing their existence, which is not as hidden as the hunting demon beasts they steal by themselves."

Indeed, based on the past bad deeds of the Red Dragons, basically any bad thing on the mainland will be associated with them. For example, whose sow suddenly became pregnant, played with Hearthstone and suddenly dropped again, and the figure bought for 8,000 yuan didn't know who ran out of power, and this kind of black pot was thrown on the head of the red dragon. Not to mention that the ghost control of the Red Spirit* is well known, and a while ago he just used a similar technique to commit a crime in Qingtian Village, and now if a ghost suddenly pops out in the Red Lotus Forest, then anyone with a little brain will associate this matter with the Red Dragon, and it is impossible for the ghost to be stupid enough to make such a mistake.

Luo Hetu was decisively persuaded again, and muttered in confusion: "Then where did this ghost come from?" Generated out of thin air?! ”

Bai Xiaoqiu laughed unconsciously, as if talking to herself: "The situation seems to be getting more and more complicated."

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Even before the ruins were unearthed, Red Lotus City had always been a very special city. It is bordered by forests on three sides, but the only idle side is connected to the famous trade route of the entire continent - the Path of Exile. Needless to say, the value of this trade route is not to be overstated, but more importantly, there are many small villages connected to the Exile Road. Red Lotus City is located between this trade route and the forest, and it has a kind of flavor that is difficult to open. Whenever something happens in the forest, there is a shortage of food, and monsters attack the surrounding villages. Red Lotus City had to be at the forefront of the fight against the beast tide, and it was under pressure from at least eight layers.

It is said that the earliest name of Red Lotus City is very fairy. It's called Qinglian City, and it's because the city walls have been dyed red in the repeated wars against demon beasts, so it's renamed [Red Lotus City].

The temperament left behind by such a city is very terrifying, and just looking at the bloodstained and mottled city walls can feel a heavy feeling that has been condensed by history.

The same is true after entering the city gate, there are no flashy decorative facilities in the city, except for the essential living facilities and commercial facilities, the most in the city are either vicissitudes or brand new city defense facilities, although they are only quietly placed there without revealing murderous spirit. But it will naturally make people feel solemn.

However, this military fortress-like city does not have the solemn atmosphere as imagined, and the folk customs are not strong, but in the eyes of the hunters and even ordinary residents of the patrol, you can see a pride and an innate sense of mission, this pride Bai Xiaoqiu has never seen even in Sunset City.

Walking in such a city, Bai Xiaoqiu and his party couldn't help but be a little silent, this silence was not brought about by repression, but because of respect and naturally changed the atmosphere to a somewhat damaging statement, Bai Xiaoqiu's current situation is like walking to the funeral scene of a stranger, although they can't feel the pain, they can't laugh anyway.

After a long time, it was Luo Hetu who took the lead to break the silence, and who made the setting of this thing a villain. I have no heart or lungs, and it is not easy to stretch it until now.

"Talk! Don't be bored," Luo Hetu turned his head to look at Bai Xiaoqiu, "What should we do now?" It's to find an inn to rest first. Or do you just set off to find the whereabouts of Ghost Sleepless? ”

Although Bai Xiaoqiu is a visitor from another world, his sense of substitution in this world is not so bad after all, but he is familiar with history, but he can appreciate the tragic epic contained in this ancient city better than others present.

He was stunned for a moment before he broke away from that admiration-like feeling, and replied: "It's not early now, and everyone must be tired after running around for several days." Let's find a place to rest today, wait until dawn tomorrow and then go to find a meeting with Rice Qian, and by the way, take a look at the specific situation of the previous two clues, and then put Little Peach and Rocky in the Hunter Guild first, and then the two of us will go to find the whereabouts of Ghost Sleepless. ”

Seeing that Bai Xiaoqiu had already thought about the next step. Luohetu naturally had no objections, and the group casually found an inn and stayed.

It was dawn the next day. After eating breakfast, the group set off directly to the Hunter Guild branch in Red Lotus City, where they decided to keep a low profile. After seeing Shi Manqian, his attitude was ambiguous.

"You're here to take the task, huh? ~"Shi Manqian seemed to be in a good mood, she had teamed up with Bai Xiaoqiu many times, and she knew Bai Xiaoqiu's routine very well, so she went straight to the topic and asked.

Bai Xiaoqiu nodded and replied, "Yes, we are here to take over the tasks of [Poultry Theft] and [Investigation of the Source of Disease]. Do you have any exclusive information to tell me~"

Shi Manqian smiled very professionally: "Regarding the two tasks you mentioned, I have the following information here"

Most of the next few pieces of information that Shi Manqian said were a series of processes from the beginning of the two missions to the present, such as when and when the pigs of which family were stolen, and when and which people suffered from cold-like illnesses, and so on, and there is a long list of such information, including the time, approximate process and location of those events.
