"So, what is the relationship between this Elizabeth and Alice's family? George's mother said so much, but she didn't seem to be very specific about their relationship. Isn't that just a wasted statement......"

"Even if you don't say it exactly, you can probably guess it, right?" Jun Yao smiled, "Alice's father and daughter did the weird thing that changed the town, causing panic among the residents, and possibly touching the curse of time, so everyone is worried. The lady said that the mayor of the town went to negotiate with the family, but when it came to matters related to her own life, the mayor must not have a good face, right? We had met the father, and he was so hot-tempered, and we didn't show much malice at the time, he was already like that. The mayor certainly didn't speak better than us at that time, right? There must have been an argument between the two of them, and although the mayor looked old, I had observed him that the mayor was not simple, and that he might have been an officer when he was younger. Athletic and vigorous, maybe the mayor has the upper hand......"

"Fighting with an officer and still being unscathed should be what the lady said, Elizabeth's power of protection. This power should be very strong, and if you think about it, the power that is used to 'protect' must be very strong, and at the same time, it will not be used lightly. From my general understanding of this type of power, 'guardianship' must be used on the most important people. Elizabeth experienced such a thing when she was young, she resurrected her parents and took them away, but the shadow of her childhood is here, and she must not easily help or even trust a stranger, right? So, what kind of person will she be willing to protect? Family, lovers? ”

Xu Qingran nodded, "That's right, that lady also said that Alice is extremely beautiful, delicate like a doll, and in her narrative, Elizabeth is also extremely beautiful, this Ai Yu You should have a more intuitive feeling, according to genetics, it is difficult not to identify this Alice is Elizabeth's daughter." Thankfully, so far, we've finally got to business, and it seems like we're going to start with two things—the clock tower, the reality of the weird events, and the Alice family, the triggers. It seems that Alice's father is also a key NPC, but we don't have a way to get close to him, or communicate with him normally and get relevant information. So let's go to Mary's house in South 3-1 this afternoon, Ai Yu and your group will go to Mike's house in North 1-2 to ask about the situation, just briefly confirm whether the facts we have deduced are also in line with them, and then, at three o'clock in the afternoon, we will meet in Sunset Square, now that we know the rules, then let's go to the clock tower to see the situation. ”

Jun Yao nodded, carefully recalling what she had just discussed, she always felt that there was something very strange, there was too much information that everyone got this morning, and the amount of information was too large, and Xu Qingran should not have integrated it well.

"Do you have any thoughts on the information you've gotten so far?"

"Actually, I'm a little suspicious, after I found the exact time curse of this Eternal Sleep just now, I don't think something is right." Jiang Xian opened her mouth first, "In any information we have so far, there is no mention of midnight, right?" Aside from the fact that the children's bizarre sleepwalking occurred at midnight, there is no mention of Midnight in any of the backstories, whether it's the rules of the Time Curse, what happened at the mayor's house thirty years ago, or what happened to Elizabeth that he just learned. What is the song that Lin Mo heard at night saying, 'Midnight Magic Comes'? The slumber we didn't come from is still unexplained, and we don't know if this slumber is because of what we did yesterday that caused the conditions of this midnight magic to be triggered, or if whatever we do, we will fall asleep at this time of the night. ”

"Could this be the boss witch behind the scenes? After all, it's the big boss in the mission.,At the beginning, we must stop us from discovering something.,Otherwise, some things will be seen by us too quickly.,It will push the progress of the task very quickly.,This is what the system doesn't want to see, right? Ai Yu asked rhetorically.

"Witch...... Time Curse...... That's right! So this! Jun Yao clapped her hands suddenly, as if she suddenly realized, "I finally understand that something is wrong." ”

"Do you think witches and gods are the same?" Jun Yao stood up, looked at everyone and asked, everyone was very puzzled by her sudden behavior, and her question was also unpredictable.

"In all the backstories we've gotten so far, the bosses behind the scenes are two different characters! The Curse of Time is related to the origins of Eternal Sleep in the mouth of the lady in Lily's house, and it is a realm of the gods that was later cursed for some reason, that is, the rules of time that they have to abide by, and if they break it, it will end badly. What happened to the mayor's house thirty years ago was punished by the gods for violating the curse of time. However, the disappearance of the children in Eternal Sleep Town, through the relevant history of the Middle Ages you have told, it can be known that the disappearance of the children should be made into puppets, and this act is essentially a kind of witchcraft, so it can be inferred that the witch did it. But looking back at each of the children's disappearances, the reason why they were found missing was because the adults found out that the time rule had expired and they hadn't returned, so we initially thought that they had violated the time curse and were punished by the gods, but in fact they were made into puppets. The god was punished for doing something, and he couldn't protect himself, so he shouldn't have the leisure to catch children and make puppets again, right? You are talking about the witchcraft of making children into puppets in order to make people immortal, but even if the gods make mistakes again, as long as they still bear the title of gods, they are immortal, so why bother? ”

"You've said so much, I understand that you mean to say that the current incident is caused by two forces and two characters, right? But what's the point of the distinction? Lin Mo asked.

"Of course it makes sense, I have a question that I want you to think about carefully - who is in control of this town at the moment?"

"Jun Yao, what do you mean by this? Who's in control? You...... What exactly do you want to say? Yin Weiyu felt that her brain was not enough, and Shen Junyao asked her at this point, she was confused, two different characters did something, two different forces, two different background stories, and a mountain...... No two tigers?

"Let's reminisce and analyze Elizabeth's story. What did the lady of the George family say about the big birthday party? The dinner party began at six o'clock that afternoon, when the last rays of the sun disappeared from the horizon and the revelry began. 'The banquet was held in the street park, and the whole banquet was accompanied by dazzling fireworks in the night sky, so you proved that the banquet venue was open-air, right? Since there is a rule in the town that 'you must go home before sunset', all the people in the town who attended the banquet did not return to their homes when the sun went down, but stayed outside all the time. So can we assume that everyone in the town has broken this rule, but they're all alive, right? If they're all dead, what is that lady who told the story? In this town that belongs to the gods, in this town where everyone flocks to the rules, what kind of force is at the mercy? ”

"Besides, I don't know if you have reacted, but in Elizabeth's story, there are two curses. The first curse was when Mr. Raven was so badly injured when he was splashed with holy water by the townspeople, so he cast a curse on the townspeople under the red moon. But the curse can be dissolved, and when the townspeople burned Elizabeth's parents to death, they found that the effect of the curse had weakened, and although we don't know what kind of curse the man had, we can infer that the curse was related to Elizabeth's family. The bell must also be tied to the bell, and if the object related to the curse dies, it will have no meaning of existence. The second curse was placed on all the people in the town, and she cursed them to never leave the town. The curse was unsolvable, and the lady mentioned that Elizabeth possessed the power of the gods. Mr. Raven is the person next to the witch, and it represents the witch, and the power that Elizabeth possesses is the power of the gods, and in a sense she represents the gods. ”

"What was the mayor's reaction when he found out that Alice's family had Elizabeth's power, that is, the power of the gods? They're scared of that family, they're guarding against that family, and they want to kick that family out. The old newspaper with the curse of time on it said many times, 'O ...... who are protected by time', that Eternal Sleep once belonged to a certain god, and the god had always protected them, and although there were many rules, the rules were not strict, so this god really wanted to protect the people of this town. But the people who were sheltered in this way did not have any reverence or gratitude for the god, but they were afraid when they saw someone with the power of the god. ”

"Are they excluding dissidents?" Xu Qingran reacted to Jun Yao's meaning, "At the time of the Elizabeth incident, maybe this town was still in the hands of the gods, because people were afraid of witches, and they carried holy water with them, so they could quickly hurt that crow man when he appeared. But then things changed, maybe when Elizabeth reappeared, after she had set a curse and flown away, and the people's beliefs changed, maybe voluntarily, maybe forced, and in short, their faith changed, because the steiners of the town changed hands. ”

"But it doesn't make sense at all, if this town is already in the hands of witches, then is the power of the gods suppressed? The power of the god is suppressed, so the curse he set for breaking the rules should have no effect, right? If it doesn't work, why should people be afraid of these rules? They don't have to be afraid! Ai Yu was really puzzled.

Perhaps, we can understand it this way? The current town is run by two parties. Jiang Xian smiled and said in a calm tone.

"Are you saying that the two parties are co-managed? But how could a god such a noble being allow others to compete with him? Lin Mo was the first to come out and retort, "After all, the legend says that the witch clan is not a pure and beautiful existence, they are considered dirty, so the 'witch hunt' will prevail in the Middle Ages." ”

"No...... I'm talking about the two of them managing it, not the two of them. Jiang Xian then explained, "You can understand it this way, the gods have always had absolute control over this town, but can an existence like a god really care so much about his territory?" The witch took advantage of the situation and took some control away, and when things were stable, the gods learned about it, and he wanted to take back his power. And the witch because of the theft of power, because her identity is closer to humans, so she can deter the residents of the town more than the gods, so it is difficult for the gods to seize power, he doesn't want to hurt the people in the town, so this power struggle is stale. ”

"The people of the Wu tribe cannot live forever, they just live a little longer than ordinary people, so they desire eternal life, and they must also get eternal life. Only in this way will the power they stole from the gods remain in their hands forever, because once they die, this power will naturally return to the gods, after all, the gods are immortal. ”

"The gods know how to deal with witches, so the silver crosses that each house has, the clocks that can be seen everywhere, and the holy water that they carry with them, this is a way for the gods to protect people, and that's why we haven't seen witches appear so far, have we? We just met her subordinate Ethereal, and the witch didn't dare to go there herself, because she was fighting another boss, a war to the death. ”

"The reason why the children will disappear will be in the hands of the witch is because it is said in the curse of time, 'Time is weakest in the turn of the sun and the moon', so only then will the children lose their shelter and may be taken away by the witch."
