"Actually, I always had a problem when I was in Elizabeth's room at first, Elizabeth sent Arthur two letters, one apologizing for her actions of not saying goodbye when she first came to Eternal Sleeptown, and the other a farewell letter written when she faced an unsolvable dilemma. The recipients of these two letters were Arthur, and they were supposed to be in Arthur's room, and in short, Arthur must have received these two letters, so they could appear anywhere in the world, except Elizabeth's room. How does the sent letter return to the sender's room? ”

Jun Yao asked such a question for everyone to think, she supported her chin with one hand and smiled lightly, "The answer is very simple, haven't you already guessed it?" It was Arthur who brought it back. So the question becomes, how did Arthur bring these two letters back to Elizabeth's room? Do you want to go straight to the bell tower? This is unrealistic and impossible. The people of the town have long been wary of Arthur and Alice, and I think that the father and daughter should not be able to hide their every move from the townspeople, and to put it mildly, everyone in the town is watching them. If Arthur really went out so openly and went straight to the bell tower, would the townspeople not stop him? ”

"You mean, Arthur used some kind of power to set up something like a passage in one of his rooms, thus connecting this room to Elizabeth's room, and he was able to enter Elizabeth's room?" Jiang Xian understood what Jun Yao meant, Jun Yao nodded, "That's right, although what the mayor of the town and the wives of the missing children told us is half-true, but I think that Arthur has Elizabeth's power in him, they should not be lying, and from the legend that has been confirmed by the mural more than ten or twenty years ago, it can be known that Elizabeth went to the Eternal Night Forest and got the power of time given by Avarice, so Elizabeth came back, took revenge and left." Elizabeth did leave Arthur and Alice a little bit of his own power to protect their safety, so it's not surprising that Arthur has the power of time, and he uses this power to create spatial connections between rooms, but I think he uses this power to do more than just connect his room to Elizabeth's room. ”

Xu Qingran understood that Jun Yao threw the topic to him, and he was about to start the most important clues, so he cleared his throat, which was a reminder that attracted everyone's attention, telling them that what they said next was very important and they must listen.

"Now that you've got almost the clues you remember, it's time for me to tell you what we found last night." Xu Qingran crossed his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was holding the victory, "We did see something very interesting last night, let's start from seeing Arthur go out in a black cloak, we followed all the way, and found that he entered the Eternal Night Forest, he should be extremely familiar with the Eternal Night Forest, there is no need to hesitate at all, it can almost be said that he went straight to the ancient castle of the gods." Arthur was nowhere to be seen when he entered the castle, and we walked around the castle when we saw a golden butterfly, which we had seen twice. The first time was when I, Jun Yao, and Lin Mo broke into the bell tower engraved with the mural, and the Lord of Greed appeared, blocking the masked man while using the golden butterfly to show us the way to escape. The second time was when we broke into the castle last night, and the golden butterflies showed us the way. ”

"Speaking of this castle in Avarice, I have something more to say. Weiyu should also know about this matter, and it has something to do with the tasks we completed together before. Jun Yao interrupted Xu Qingran's words at this time, she looked at Yin Weiyu, as if waiting for her to recall something, Yin Weiyu pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Wishing House." Jun Yao slowly spit out three words, Yin Weiyu suddenly leaned back, covering her mouth with both hands, looking very surprised, and as if she was afraid, her voice trembled a little, "Wishing House...... The castle? Ah, you mean that the castle you went to was the Wishing House from the last mission? ”

This conversation between Jun Yao and Yin Weiyu seemed to other uninformed people to be really confused, completely ignorant of what to do, Xu Qingran reacted quickly, after all, Jun Yao had said more than once that she had met Avarice in her previous mission, and the familiarity she showed with this god in this mission had made them accustomed to it. So Xu Qingran asked, "Then why didn't you say it at that time?" ”

"There are still some differences between the 'Wishing House' I went in the previous mission and the castle we went to last night, when I first went in, I just thought these decorations were very familiar, but to be honest, most of the castle halls in Europe may be like this, right? It wasn't until the portrait of Avarice appeared that I realized that this was the 'Wishing House' I had been to once before, but when I did, the golden butterfly had also appeared. Besides, our focus isn't on the castle itself, it's on Arthur. ”

Therefore, there was no need for Jun Yao to bring it up at that time, and besides, they had already seen the portrait, as long as they were not fools, they could guess the relationship between Avarice and this ancient castle.

"Well, okay, I'll move on to what we've found." Xu Qingran smiled, what Jun Yao said was very reasonable, it didn't matter if Jun Yao hadn't been to this castle before, what mattered was the whereabouts of Arthur, who entered the castle with them.

"We followed the guidance of the golden butterfly to a room, and when we entered the room, we found that there was a long passage, and we did not know where the passage led at the time, but there was nothing in this room, and it was clear that there was only one choice left for us. So we walked along the passageway, and when we reached the end, we found that we had come to the bell tower with the mural carved before. That's when we saw Alice, who was yelling at somewhere up the stairs, and we looked over and saw that the Masked Man was standing on the stairs, and it was clear that he was the one Alice was greeting. ”

"Alice seemed to be playing a game with the masked man, and she said, 'It's not time yet, so I won', and then the masked man said something to her, and Alice looked very happy, and she cheered and said, 'I like my father's puppets the most,' so the masked man picked up Alice and spun around in the air, and then we saw something strange about Alice, her legs were made of wood, and they were reversed. The Masked Man was still playing with Alice, but he looked in our direction, and the scythe instantly attacked us, and we had to retreat to Arthur's house with our lives. ”

"It wasn't long before we saw Arthur, dressed in black, come back, and not only did he come back, but he also brought back two children. He used some kind of spell in the garden to summon a door, and he shut the two children behind the door, and then returned to the house, never to come out again for the night. ”

Xu Qingran picked up the water cup in front of him and drank a few large sips of water, it seemed that his mouth was a little dry because he had said too much, and when he put down the water glass, he lowered his voice and looked extremely serious, "I think we have discovered the identity of the mask man." ”

"Taken together, the puppet's rumor says that every time Arthur makes a puppet that looks like a child, that child disappears; When we asked the families of the missing children, they all mentioned that the children were going to buy a new puppet, which also coincided with the rumors about the puppets. Alice, the puppet Alice who Lin Mo saw through the bloodstained psychic in the bell tower, chased Adam, and we saw Alice's intimate encounter with the masked man in another clock tower last night, combined with the previous clues - Elizabeth's story, Elizabeth's letters, Arthur and Alice's various actions as they moved in, and the old carpenter Jack's hostility towards Arthur...... This masked man is Arthur! ”

[Special Missions 1-5 Completed]

[Special Mission 1-6: Peeling back the cocoon has finally restored the truth of the entire incident, although there are still many details that have not been finalized, but the mastermind behind the scenes has been exposed. Go to Mayor Ham's office and talk to Mayor James about this, and you'll get an unexpected reward. 】

At the same time that Xu Qingran said this, the system prompt sound and the system page appeared at the same time.

"That's right." Zhao Xiao sighed with some admiration, he was about to say something flattering and praised, but found that everyone was solemn, and there was no sense of joy on their faces that they were reasoning correctly, they looked at their system page intently, as if they were confirming something, Zhao Xiao just clicked on the prompt page that had just been ignored by himself and looked carefully.

Jun Yao didn't have the slightest sense of relief in her heart, although the mask man's body had guessed out, and all the secrets hidden under the fog were slowly being dispersed by the sun, but she always felt panic in her heart for no reason, as if some important clue had been ignored, and this clue was very fatal to them. Jun Yao frowned, looked down at the mind map and logical reasoning analysis she had drawn again, and quickly went through the whole incident in her mind, but came to the same conclusion as Xu Qingran.

There's nothing wrong with this answer, but why are you so upset?

The task has developed to this point, everything is so clear, Jun Yao should feel happy and relaxed.

Why is there no peace of mind? Jun Yao felt that this thing that had been ignored by himself was like a dispensable part, and the lack of it didn't seem to have much impact on the whole, but with the infinite operation of the gears, there would eventually be a problem.

"It's okay, it'll be over soon." Jiang Xian said softly, Jun Yao looked in the direction of Jiang Xian suspiciously, and met her bright smile, so she also smiled reluctantly, as if to hide the embarrassment of being seen through her heart.

"Now that the mission has been released, we won't waste any time, right? Now head in the direction of the mayor's office. Xu Qingran took the lead and got up and walked outside the restaurant, and everyone got up to follow, and Jun Yao was no exception.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

It's okay Jun Yao, it's just because there are too many dead ends set up in the early stage of this mission that you are so vigilant.

Jun Yao told herself.
