【Special Bonus: Jack's Help Consumed】

[Special Mission 2-1 Completed]

[Special Mission 2-2: Ask the old carpenter Jack for details and work with him to finalize a rescue plan!] 】

"So you already knew that Arthur was behind all of this? But...... Why don't you say it? Jun Yao couldn't understand why Jack was hiding this, not to mention that Jack was hiding it from them, after all, it was the task setting of the system, and it was impossible for Jack to tell them all this when he first saw them. But Jack seems to have known about this for a long time, recalling that Jiang Xian said last night that she met Jack when she was exploring the terrain in the afternoon, and she also got Jack's help, and Jack was secretly helping them at that time.

It's just that...... Why not tell the people in the town? Obviously, everyone is full of vigilance about Arthur's family moving in, and the origin of all this is Arthur, since Jack has found out about this matter, he can directly make it public, and everyone can work together to deal with Arthur, isn't it? This not only saves the children of each family, but also solves a major hidden danger in the town.

"You guessed that, right? Arthur is a subordinate of the witch of the witch clan, he helps the witch to do evil, he uses witchcraft to make children into puppets for eternal life, he is a witchcraft......" Jack said slowly word by word, Jun Yao instantly understood what he meant.

Arthur is the Mask Man, and the Mask Man is powerful, they have seen it countless times.

They are dream travelers, they hold props, and they have the help of external forces to be able to fight against Arthur the masked man, but even so, they are still not in the upper hand, but they have been repeatedly embarrassed by the masked man.

They are still like that, let alone the ordinary people who live in this small town.

So even though Jack knows the truth of all this, he has more than enough power and can't change anything at all. Directly making all this public will not only fail to save the children and end it, but it may also backfire and harm everyone in the town.

It's like Elizabeth back then.

"You...... How are you going to do it? Jiang Xian asked.

Jack glanced in the direction of Arthur's house again, "Do you see where the children are hidden by him?" ”

Xu Qingran didn't answer, would Jack not know? He obviously understood the ins and outs of the whole thing so early, but he couldn't do it because he wasn't capable enough. Jack was stunned for a moment and understood what Xu Qingran thought, "Every time I follow Arthur, I see him going in the direction of the Eternal Night Forest, at first I didn't follow very closely, and it was easy to get lost, I got lost in the forest several times, and then I could barely keep up, but when I saw him enter the castle, I couldn't find anyone anymore." I hurried back, only to see the lights in his house turn on and out, as if he had done it all. Later, I saw Arthur go to the bell tower in Sunset Square, and I hid to see what was going on inside, and I saw him chasing the children, and when I did, I grabbed them and stuffed them into a black cloth bag, and dragged them home. Naturally, I didn't dare to follow him too closely, but every time I went back, I only saw him enter the door, or he was already resting in the house...... So many times, I have never seen the whereabouts of the children. ”

"If I had found out, I would have found a way to take the children away."

Xu Qingran thought about it, what Jack said was true, the reason why they were able to see Arthur hiding the children in the garden yesterday was completely because of Jiang Xian's teleportation props. Jack is just an ordinary person, and because he is older, his legs and feet are indeed worse than those of young people, and it is normal for him not to see that scene.

"We saw him standing in the garden, and then a black door appeared, and he threw the children behind the black door, and then the door disappeared." Xu Qingran said.

Jack nodded, "It's a very simple kind of witchcraft, standing in a specific place and doing a specific action, you can form a magic circle and summon the thing connected to the magic circle." It's just that this location and action ......"

"We saw the whole process clearly last night, although we may have to look for the location again, but we know the action, you don't have to worry." Jun Yao replied.

Jack nodded, looking very satisfied, "That's good, that's good......"

"I have a plan, I wonder if you'd like to hear about it?" Xu Qingran asked tentatively, and Jack nodded without hesitation, "You said, if there is anyone I can help, I will definitely help." ”

"You have a good relationship with Alice, Arthur knows?" Xu Qingran asked such a question before talking about the plan, Jack thought about it, nodded and said, "Of course that guy knows, he also tried his best to prevent Alice from contacting me, once Alice and I were playing with Betty on the street, Arthur suddenly came out of his garden in a rage, and pulled Alice away, Alice was frightened, Arthur also reprimanded 'Don't contact this person in the future'." ”

"So there's nothing wrong with the logic that Alice is missing, and you look very anxious, and you even want to find Alice?" Xu Qingran asked again.

Jack frowned, "What exactly are you trying to say, young man?" ”

"My plan needs you and two of my team members to work together, you can carve puppets, right? I hope you'll come up with a puppet that looks eight or nine points like Alice, and then you will manipulate the puppet to move, and one of my team members will help you, and another team member will knock on Arthur's door and tell him that Alice's whereabouts have been discovered. ”

"A puppet that resembles Alice? There's no need to rush...... I once made a puppet for Alice that resembled her, but before I could give it to her, she ......."

"Very well, can you tweak this puppet a little bit and make it move on its own?" Xu Qingran is confirming the details with Jack.

"It's not that hard, I'll just modify it later." Jack nodded.

"We were entrusted by the mayor to go to Eternal Sleep Town to solve this matter, and before we came, we actually heard some rumors, including witchcraft, so there are special people in my team who can fight against witchcraft. When you use the puppet to lure Arthur out of his house and farther away, we'll pestering Arthur for a while to prevent him from coming home. At this point, the rest of my team will go to Arthur's garden, find the door, and get the children out. ”

Jack nodded incessantly, as if he was very much in agreement with this method, and he smiled, "It's a good idea...... You're good, young man! That's great! ”

Xu Qingran smiled modestly, not ready to answer Jack's words, "I still need your cooperation, it's really troublesome for you." ”

Jack waved his hand briskly, "No trouble! Being able to solve this matter can be regarded as a matter of my heart, and you have helped me a lot! Okay, I'm going to make changes to the puppets now, so you need to prepare this plan as well, right? Let's go back, we'll meet at Street Park later. ”

Xu Qingran nodded, "Then what do you think of us meeting at eight o'clock in the evening in Jiexin Park?" ”

Jack let out a "hmm", took out two wooden props from his clothes and threw them to Lin Mo, who was closest to him, "This is a prop that can help you, and it can be regarded as a meeting gift to you, old man." ”

【Obtain Item Bamboo Dragonfly】

【Obtain Item Ten Square Mirror】

It's a prop! Lin Mo couldn't hide his surprise, and the other three people also saw it, so they got up together and bowed to Jack, "Thank you." ”

Jack waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into the back of the hallway.

"Let's go too, go back to the inn and give these two things to Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, and then tell them about my plan just now."

So the four of them left Jack's house and walked towards the Eternal Sleep Inn.

"Father, they seem to have found out."

"It's okay, Alice...... We have the chance to win, and we won't lose. ”

"But I'm scared, father."

"It's going to be over soon, soon."

After everyone had lunch in the restaurant, Lin Mo handed over the two props he got from Jack to Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao under Xu Qingran's eyes, "I've already checked, these two props are both offensive and defensive, and they are very suitable for you, you two discuss who takes which one, the functions are almost the same." ”

[Bamboo Dragonfly: Special props, released from the hand, forming a defensive space with a radius of two meters, and at the same time attacking enemies with a radius of five meters, lasting 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 4 hours]

[Ten Square Mirror: A special prop that depicts a spirit creature with the same appearance as the Dream Traveler, which can follow the command of the portrayed person to carry out both physical attacks and spell attacks, and can take damage instead of the portrayal, if the damage exceeds the threshold, it will disappear in advance. Use time 10 minutes, cooldown time 6 hours】

As early as the first day when Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao entered the mission, they heard Yin Weiyu give them some rules of popular science, including the rules of props, so the two first touched these two props, and after obtaining the relevant prop information, they glanced at each other.

"Rock, scissors, paper!"

Jun Yao couldn't help but laugh for a while as she watched the two of them decide who wanted which prop in such a simple and rude way, and the nerves that had been tense all the time relaxed after seeing their childish actions.

It's okay, Shen Junyao, relax, this will be over soon.

There is such a voice in my heart to tell myself.

In the end, Chen Yang chose [Bamboo Dragonfly], while Zhao Xiao chose [Shifang Mirror].

Xu Qingran cleared his throat and was about to start talking about the plan for the evening, "We have already got the help of the old carpenter Jack, I have already told Jack about the plan, and he thinks there is no problem, so I will explain the whole plan to you in detail now." ”

Everyone listened attentively to Xu Qingran's speech, Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao were worthy of being students in high school, their backs were straight, and their hands were crossed on the table, just like the students' reactions when the teacher knocked on the blackboard and said, "This is the focus of the exam, you must memorize it" when the teacher knocked on the blackboard in class.

"With Jack, there were nine of us, and we were divided into three groups. Lin Mo has also judged that Jack is an absolutely safe NPC, he has the power of the gods, so he will not pose any threat to us, and even if we encounter danger, Jack may help us. Based on this judgment, Chen Yang, Zhao Xiao, the two of you will act together with Jack. Jack has a puppet based on Alice, which he modifies to allow it to move remotely. What you're going to do is to lure Arthur out of his house and farther away, to Sunset Square, so that we can enter his house and find the room where the children are being held. ”

"Brother Xu, how are we going to lure him out? That Arthur, listening to what you said before, I feel that he is very fierce and difficult to communicate......" Chen Yang asked cautiously.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next, just Chen Yang, when the time comes, you go knock on the door of Arthur's house and tell him that you are with the three big brothers and sisters who came to visit him before, and when you were investigating strange phenomena in the town, you saw a little blonde girl in a red dress running around, and after inquiry, you found out that it was the missing child of his family, so I came to tell him this clue. Then you point him in the direction of the Alice puppet, and when you're done, don't stay any longer and leave immediately. ”

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and whispered to repeat what Xu Qingran said, "But Brother Xu, what if I say this, he still refuses to go?" ”

"You can rest assured about this, Jack will cooperate with you, he will be used as a bait to pretend to be very excited, Arthur and Jack are a little conflicted, but both of them care about Alice, so once Jack wants to chase, Arthur will not sit still." Xu Qingran said affirmatively, after explaining the tasks of the first group, he continued to arrange the second group, "The second group is me, Ai Yu and Lin Mo, the three of us are the ones who have completed the most tasks here, we must have more props than you, and the means of saving life are also stronger than yours, and we have known each other before, and the tacit understanding is also enough." After your first group leads Arthur to Sunset Square, we'll be pestering him to buy time for your third group's action. ”

"The third group is the three of you left - Jun Yao, Jiang Xian, and Yin Weiyu. After the first group has lured Arthur a certain distance, go into Arthur's garden to find the special spot where the circle is located, and when you find it, you can quickly rescue the children. Jiang Xian, you have a [Time Scepter], in order to ensure that the children are foolproof, you can use this prop to directly perform space jumps and return to the hotel. The Eternal Sleep Inn should be a safe spot, and the children will be much safer staying in the inn. ”

"Of course, after you rescue the children, you must immediately use the communication function we activated earlier to contact us to evacuate, after all, Arthur, that is, the masked man's strength is very strong, we can retreat quickly without fighting him, it can be regarded as ensuring the safety of our lives."

After listening to Xu Qingran's plan, everyone silently memorized the part they were responsible for, and the cautious could not be more cautious, and some things that they did not understand would also be raised, and everyone discussed countermeasures together, and when all the details were finalized, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Okay, it's going to be a tough battle tonight, so let's go back to our rooms in the afternoon and have a good rest, and don't think about anything else. We recharge our batteries and are ready for battle. Ai Yu was the first to break the tense atmosphere, and she saw that everyone present was more or less tired on their faces, so she decided to stop the meeting.

Xu Qingran stood up from his seat, the expression on his face became extremely firm, like a brave and warlike general who followed a million heroes behind him, about to rush to the battlefield where the sword is not long, he took the halberd and rode the sweaty and bloody horse, his eyes were firm, and it was inevitable to win this war that he had to participate in.

"We're going to win this endgame." Xu Qingran said.

It's going to win.

Jun Yao subconsciously followed silently in her heart, as if she had told herself this countless times.
