"I'm sure you've heard about the origin of this town...... In God-cursed territories, there are rules that must be followed. The woman's voice suddenly became softer, "These rules have been passed down from generation to generation, at first it was just a few cold divine laws that must be obeyed, and gradually as the years passed, people became accustomed to being bound by these things, so the rules became habits and became integrated into our lives. ”

"You're all from the mayor, but I don't think the mayor told you about the rules."

Jun Yao and Xu Qingran glanced at each other, and the two nodded in unison.

"I don't have many rules that I can think of now, after all, too many things have been tied up since childhood, and it is a rule that should not be followed for a moment or a habit that everyone will have. I'll tell you as much as I can recall. The woman replied gently, Jun Yao nodded, but the weirdness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, this woman was too cooperative, right? Best NPC?

"What I remember the most is that when I was a child, my parents often warned me not to go to the forest next to the town, it seemed that there was something bad in it. Later, when I grew up, I probably knew that this bad thing in the forest had something to do with the gods, which was the source of our town's curse. Also, you have to go home before sunset, and if anyone doesn't come home before sunset, he's basically a dead man. ”

"Are there any taboos about the bell tower?" Xu Qingran remembered the rule that Yin Weiyu got from Linda, the assistant to the mayor of the town, using the front desk phone of the hotel yesterday, and the woman tilted her head a little puzzled, "The taboo of the bell tower?" Which do you mean? ”

"Can the bell tower be approached? We've heard that the Clock Tower is the most sacred being in Eternal Sleep......"

"Ah, there is such a saying, but because the clock tower is in Sunset Square, which is the only entrance and exit of the town, there is a lot of contact with outsiders, so everyone actually rarely goes there. So it's not very clear whether this can be approached, who told you about this rule? ”

Jun Yao smiled embarrassedly, "What about this...... We also asked a random resident of the town on the way to the bell tower yesterday, because the other party seemed very perfunctory, so we wondered if it was casual nonsense to prevaricate us. Jun Yao didn't say that this was Linda, the assistant to the mayor, she moved this to a passer-by, anyone can do it, which can also lower the women's vigilance, and at the same time make their doubts about this rule reasonable.

"That's right...... The people in the town are actually not very good to outsiders. But the person who told you this rule must have been in this town for a long time, after all, since everyone installed clocks in every house, the clock tower is of little use, and no one will come close to repair it. So whether it's taboos or rules, the younger residents hardly know about it. ”

"Isn't it very friendly to outsiders? What does that mean? When Jun Yao heard the woman's statement, she immediately thought that when she walked on the street yesterday, the residents of the town didn't seem to treat them very well, and many people would choose to take a detour after seeing their group, and some people would not be obvious, but they would also avoid making eye contact with them.

"How so...... The origin of the town is very special, so there is a special balance here, which has been maintained for many years, and no one wants to break it, after all, change always comes at a great price. The woman looked up and sighed softly, "It's not too early, I still have some things, do you have anything else you want to ask?" ”

This is an eviction order, right? Although there are still some things that I want to ask for clarification have not yet been said, this Alex's stepmother and wife are already very cooperative, and it is really unnecessary to make any more inches at this time.

So Xu Qingran and Jun Yao got up very respectfully, and the two bowed to express their gratitude, "Thank you for your cooperation, then we will leave first." ”

The woman also stood up, "Then, forgive me for being rude, and I won't give them to both." ”

Jun Yao waved her hand, "It's okay if you feel free, just disturb rashly today, and you don't blame it." The two walked to the gate, but the woman behind them suddenly stopped them, "The two of you...... I hope you guys can fix this. ”

Xu Qingran looked back at him and nodded very firmly, "Please rest assured." ”

The door slowly closed before the woman's eyes, and she smiled palely and feeble, "In this eternal kingdom...... I hope there will be an end of the day. ”

When Xu Qingran and Shen Junyao came out, Jiang Xian just walked back from the direction of the sand with Chen Yang, and the two were looking around, they should be looking for them, so Jiang Xian shouted while waving her hand, "Here!" ”

After attracting the attention of the two, Jiang Xian waved her hand again, signaling them to come over, "We found something interesting here, come and have a look!" ”

Jiang Xian took the two of them to step on the soft sand, walked deeper, and got closer and closer to the forest, Xu Qingran frowned, and suddenly stopped his steps, as if he was not ready to move forward, "Jiang Xian, where is the interesting thing you said?" ”

After hearing this, Jiang Xian suddenly stood still, evoking a smile, looking eerie and terrifying, she slowly raised her arm and pointed in a certain direction deep in the forest, "It's right there—"

"Jun Yao, be careful...... Xu Qingran subconsciously reached out to protect Shen Junyao beside him, who knew that before he finished speaking, three arrows grazed his arm and headed towards Jiang Xian. Jiang Xian, who was standing not far away, did not change his face, he was not shocked, his other hand was quickly raised, and it instantly turned into a light blue giant claw, and he grabbed the three arrows with a slight wave.

"Be careful!" Jun Yao saw that Xu Qingran was stunned, and Jiang Xian had already turned the arrow she was holding lightly and threw it towards Xu Qingran, Xu Qingran turned his head and suddenly raised his hand to cover his right eye.

In an instant, the arrows rushing towards them became extremely slow as if the slow-motion camera was disintegrating, and Jun Yao seemed to see countless threads intertwined in front of him, and then countless purple tiny currents jumped in the air, and then converged into a huge ball, flying towards Jiang Xian.

The explosion kicked up countless smoke and dust, the fine sand flew into his eyes and stabbed painfully, the old dust choked people uncomfortably, and Jun Yao felt that someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the way in extreme discomfort.

Jun Yao felt that her feet had stepped on the solid ground, as if she had been taken away from the sand by Xu Qingran, and before her vision had fully recovered, a slightly worried voice sounded in her ears, "Are you okay?" ”

Jun Yao blinked, as if she had returned to her normal line of sight, and slammed into a pair of heterochromatic eyes.

[Golden Pupil: A special prop that parasitizes the human body, and you can choose the position of the parasitic left and right eyes at will. When looking at something with the golden pupil, a field of electric current forms within sight, and that current can be manipulated. Cooldown time is twelve hours. 】

Xu Qingran closed his eyes, opened them again, the golden pupil in his left eye had already returned to its original state, and the yellow smoke in the sandy land where they were just now had also dispersed, and the position where Jiang Xian should have been was empty, Xu Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the void spirit again, you reacted quite quickly just now." ”

"Actually, I didn't find out that something was wrong through Jiang Xian, but Chen Yang. Jiang Xian almost attracted all of our attention, at least at the beginning, but when we stepped into the sand, I noticed that Chen Yang didn't make any movement, so I looked at him twice, and I realized that he had no shadow. So I observed Jiang Xian again, and although she didn't look abnormal, her walking posture was different from before. Jun Yao smiled, she put the Zhuge crossbow in her hand back into her backpack, "Although I haven't met the Void Spirit before, I don't know if it can imitate a person to that extent, but at least I can judge that this Jiang Xian in front of me is definitely not her." So, when you ask her where she is, and she smiles weirdly, I immediately attack her. ”

High acuity.

Xu Qingran nodded, sighing in his heart, but he didn't say it, he looked around again, as if he was looking for someone, "This virtual spirit is disguised as them, so where did they really go?" ”

"Huh? You're already out? At this moment, a slightly surprised female voice came from behind the two.

Jiang Xian followed Chen Yang, and the two were standing in the garden of Lily's house, Jun Yao frowned, looked at Jiang Xian seriously for a while, as if confirming something, and nodded, "Fortunately." ”

"What's wrong? Why are you two so embarrassed? Something strange happened to Alex again? Jiang Xian saw that Jun Yao and Xu Qingran were both standing with yellow particles on their bodies, thinking that they were fighting with something again, Xu Qingran shook her head, "It's nothing, you guys...... How in the courtyard of Lily's house? What about the weird-looking lady? ”

Chen Yang spoke first, "That lady has been holding the water pipe and looking this side absentmindedly since you entered Alex's house, and the water has been sprinkled on one place, and then this piece of soil has been loosely watered by a large amount of water, and the flowers planted in it look like they are going to die." Chen Yang pointed to a bush of flowers at his feet and said.

So I volunteered to help, saying that I would have a little emergency treatment, but I also needed fertilizer and nutrient soil and some seeds, and I hoped that this lady would go and buy them and get them. So the lady put on a coat and hurried out to buy something to save her flowers. Jiang Xian continued, "But in fact, I don't know these at all, I just want to find a reason to break her up." ”

"And what about this lady's flowers? When she comes back, she'll be angry when she sees that it's still like this, right? Maybe you'll realize you're deliberately playing tricks on her. Jun Yao asked, only to see that Jiang Xian suddenly had something in her hand that looked like a fairy stick in the cartoon when she was a child, and with a gentle wave, the originally loose and dilapidated soil magically gathered together as if it had life.

[Wood no Vine: A special prop that can control all wood attribute things, if you get close]

"That's fine." Jiang Xian put the fairy stick back, and then took out a photo from her pocket, "This is what we just found in the study, it's a photo." Yes...... Counting the time, the lady is coming back, you better wait over there for a while, I'll say goodbye to her and we'll go back to the hotel to see this picture! ”

So Shen Junyao and Xu Qingran silently walked to the wooden chairs on the street in front of them, waiting for the aftermath of the two.

"Oh, you're still here." Madame walked into the courtyard with a basket of flowers, Jiang Xian stood next to the flowers that had been restored to their original state and said with a smile, "After all, I promised to deal with these flowers for Madame, you see, it has roughly recovered like this, but the soil is still a little loose, you had better sprinkle some new soil on the outermost part, and then throw the seeds down to solidify the soil." ”

"Okay, you really know how to garden." Madame happily grabbed Jiang Xian, and then looked at Chen Yang, who was standing on the side with a little restraint, she slowly approached Jiang Xian's face, and whispered in her ear, "To thank you, I'll tell you a little secret." ”

"Check out the notice board in the middle of the street park, where you'll find the answers you're looking for."
