Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 47 Sleeping Curse
Ai Yu woke up in the room, her eyes hadn't adjusted to the bright light, she frowned and propped herself up from the bed, only then did she see where she was, it was really the hotel room, "Hey, why am I here?" ”
Jiang Xian had just changed her clothes and looked back at Ai Yu, "Are you awake?" Breakfast was ready, so we went straight to the restaurant. ”
"How did I end up here?" Ai Yu asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't I be in the lobby of the hotel?" ”
"Something special happened, it was Xu Qingran who carried you back to the room." Jiang Xian replied with a smile, deliberately biting the three words "Xu Qingzhen", with a narrow face.
Ai Yu's face quickly turned red, and she turned her face away from Jiang Xian's gaze, "That's ...... Let's go to the restaurant. ”
When he came out of the hotel room, he happened to meet Jun Yao pushing Yin Weiyu forward, Yin Weiyu seemed to have a lot to say, but was interrupted by Jun Yao, "Okay, okay, these things will be agreed to explain later, you can bear with your uncontrollable curiosity." ”
"But ......" Yin Weiyu looked reluctant.
"Jun Yao, it's early. Light rain, you are also early. Jiang Xian greeted the two of them in a very good mood, Yin Weiyu responded listlessly, but Jun Yao greeted Jiang Xian and Ai Yu energetically.
The four of them walked into the restaurant together, and the other four were already seated.
Today's breakfast turned out to be steamed buns, steamed buns and porridge, and after eating toast, jam and bacon for two days in a row, after seeing the familiar food, everyone felt that their appetite increased greatly, and the meal was half an hour before it ended.
Xu Qingran put down the spoon in his hand, "It seems that everyone has finished eating, so let's talk about the questions you are more curious about first." ”
Xu Qingran is such a person, in the last second he still has a strong atmosphere of fireworks and is approachable, but the next second he is so serious and serious, discussing problems is like dealing with his own life and death problems. The two faces switch freely because of a small movement.
"Last night, me, Jun Yao, and Jiang Xian sent Ai Yu and Yin Weiyu into the room to rest. Judging from your current state, the fact of sleeping at midnight is unbreakable, but coincidentally, last night, shortly after twelve o'clock in the morning, I, Jun Yao, and Jiang Xian woke up one after another. The three of us have become a special case of this Midnight Sleeping Curse, and in Jun Yao's words, we have broken some kind of rule. ”
"What? You didn't wake up last night? Yin Weiyu was the most surprised, Jun Yao nodded, "The three of us did fall asleep, but we woke up quickly, so we suspect that this Midnight Sleeping Spell is some kind of negative buff, and its existence makes it impossible for us to move freely at night." But yesterday afternoon, the three of us were injured, and Ai Yu used your prop to heal us, and Light Dye said that your prop has a special effect of 'eliminating all negative states', and because of this, we were able to wake up last night. ”
"However, in any mission, when a new day comes, all the buff states attached to the task link on our body will be archived and cleared." Xu Qingran pondered for a while, "We have had such a sleeping buff every night for the past three days, which proves that we have done the same thing related to this buff in the past three days, which will lead to the filing day after day, but we still can't get rid of this buff." ”
Therefore, it is not realistic to use Ai Yu's props to clear the buff on his body now. Xu Qingran used this paragraph of explanation to directly block what Ai Yu wanted to say, after all, today had just begun, and they hadn't done anything. Xu Qingran didn't think that they did something in the inn that caused them to attach this sleeping buff, it must be because they went out to perform the quest to explore the clues of the quest and advance the progress of the quest, and some behaviors they did caused the buff to attach.
"That'...... How did we attach this buff? Ai Yu wanted to say that she had been interrupted by Xu Qingran, and she understood the meaning of Xu Qingran's words, so she changed the question.
"We don't know this very well, after all, the three of us just reasoned out the commonality that is not affected, as for why we have such an effect, it depends on everyone to summarize together, what all of us do, every day for three consecutive days." Xu Qingran shook his head.
"What will each of us do, something that three days in a row?" Lin Mo repeated Xu Qingran's words, which was very clear, but it was very difficult to find the thing that it corresponded to, after all, they rarely did group activities these days, basically they were in groups to ask for clues, and to explore the location in groups, and the only time they got together was when they were eating.
However, the hotel, as the initial point of the Dream Traveler's rest, generally does not set up such a buff problem to bother them internally, after all, the existence of the mission itself puts the Dream Traveler on the weak side, and the initial rest point provided by the system will generally be safe, and only in rare cases will this initial point also hide the killing machine. However, the task of "Eternal Sleep Town" has advanced to the present, and it can be seen that it is a suspense task based on reasoning, and the initial point of the suspense task is usually called a safety point.
"We haven't gotten together much, how can we find commonalities?" Yin Weiyu frowned and asked, this is too embarrassing, right?
"It's easier to summarize, isn't it?" Jiang Xian smiled at this moment, she supported her chin with one hand, and looked very happy, "We were divided into different groups to inquire about the situation, in this process, according to the object we meet and the space we are in, we will naturally do different things, but in this situation, we can still have commonalities." In this way, the scope is already small......"
Jiang Xian's eyes fell on the glass containing milk in front of her, the whole restaurant fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on her, but she didn't speak.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was slammed open, and the assistant Linda rushed in in a hurry, sweating profusely, she buried her head and gasped twice, and when she was calm, she finally spoke, "Each...... Detectives, something has happened. ”
Well, I expected it a long time ago.
As early as when Linda broke in, everyone understood what she was going to say. After all, they had seen the three bloody handprints in the bell tower yesterday morning, and the omen had already been revealed. In addition, Xu Qingran has already told about what they encountered during their free activities at night, and they followed three children who wanted to escape, and they were the ones who disappeared today.
So everyone made a dazed and anxious look, and very cooperatively followed her words and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on, what's so in a hurry? ”
"We just got the news that three more children are missing in the town, and something happened at the Yongxing Grand Theater, and all in all, the whole town is in chaos now! The mayor and Mrs. Julie are evacuating the crowded residents and quelling the riots, and I'm here to inform you to check on the situation. Linda turned around to lead the way for them as she spoke, and Xu Qingran keenly captured what Linda called the "Yongxing Grand Theater".
When they were tracking the children yesterday, they inexplicably moved to the entrance of the Yongxing Grand Theater, Xu Qingran was very sure that they were chasing them along different roads in different directions, and the three of them would never have met. And when they chased the children, they ran in the direction of the West District, but the Yongxing Grand Theater is a building located in the North District.
went against each other, but finally met.
It's just incredible, it's incomprehensible.
Not only was last night's suspicious incident, but the Adam's diary they had seen earlier also mentioned the Yongxing Theater, plus the newspaper on the notice board that they couldn't read the full contents.
Yongxing Grand Theater, it's really time to go there and have a good look.
So the group followed Linda and walked in the direction of the Yongxing Grand Theater, and saw a lot of residents in the town along the way, some of them walked together, some scattered and alone, when they saw Linda walking in front, most of the residents would greet her, but when their eyes fell on the people who followed Linda, they quickly withdrew their gaze. It gives the impression that they are the evil Banshee Medusa, with a head full of snakes that turn to stone at one glance.
It's so swaggering again, it seems that it is really more difficult to get some clues from other residents than to ascend to the sky.
There were more than a dozen people in front of the Yongxing Grand Theater, and when Linda appeared, Mayor James was sighing at the ground, and when he heard Linda calling him, he turned his head to look at her, but his eyes were locked on the dream travelers behind Linda.
"I'm sorry for you guys to run again." Although James's words were an apology, his words and deeds did not show much guilt, but seemed to be taken for granted, as if they should have come to solve this matter for him and for Eternal Sleep.
Although they were forced to do so due to the mandate of the mission, they always felt that such Mayor James was very unpleasant.
"What happened?" Although he was dissatisfied with the mayor's increasingly cold attitude, Xu Qingran also knew that the change in the mayor's attitude was also caused by the progress of the mission, and the mayor was not a completely good NPC in the first place, he did what he had to do, and the rest was naturally the words and deeds that served the plot of the mission. Mayor James is hiding a lot of things, and these things still need them to dig up.
Not now, though.
"Look here." The mayor pointed to the concrete floor in front of him, only to see that the flat and smooth concrete floor suddenly appeared a concave hole, as if it had been smashed down by something, and there was still rubble around it, which could basically be described as a mess.
Right next to this large concave hole, there were two deep marks, about fifteen centimeters embedded in the ground, and in addition, there were some dark red marks.
Lin Mo squatted down, reached out and touched the dark red marks on the ground, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, frowned, and said, "It's blood." ”
In fact, even if Lin Mo didn't confirm it, everyone could guess what this dark red thing was, after all, such a pointed thing was so common in the task, they would not admit it.
Children's blood.
Lin Mo couldn't say the second half of the sentence, after all, there were NPC mayors and Linda present, they might also know the owner of this bloodstain, but knowing it in their hearts didn't mean that they wanted others to know. Saying such things will only cause trouble, so it is better to wait until there are only them.
"I heard that three more children were missing in the town today." Shen Junyao opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell us which children they are?" We want to ask about the situation, if we can, the children have not been missing for long, maybe we can summarize some clues, maybe we can find them? ”
The mayor raised his eyebrows, I don't know if he had some thoughts because of what Jun Yao said, but he still smiled politely, "There was a lot of panic in the town just because of the disappearance of the children, and it was finally resolved, but the atmosphere in the town is very tense. ”
"Your identity is special, you are a detective who went to investigate and solve this matter, but now the residents of the town may not want to see you, and it is not good for you to appear on the street......" The mayor's face was embarrassed, and Jun Yao took two steps back with some annoyance, as if he was impressed by the mayor's hypocrisy and didn't want to get too close to him.
They obviously had their previous identities as travelers who came to travel, if it weren't for the mayor's deliberate words, they would have exposed their identities and made the residents afraid to avoid them?
It's not all thanks to you.
The mayor was still pretending to be polite, "It's not good to talk about these things outside, so I've settled the families of the three missing children and are waiting for you in the Yongxing Grand Theater." Come in with me, and sit down and talk. ”
The doors of the Yongxing Grand Theater had already been opened, and Linda stood in front of the gate waiting for them to enter.
Give somebody a dose of his own medicine.
For some reason, Jun Yao thought of this word.
Lin Mo was the first to say yes, and she walked forward without hesitation, "Then thank you for the kindness of the mayor." ”
There is no danger inside.
Lin Mo conveyed this message to everyone with his own actions.
