Jun Yao and Jiang Xian walked in the direction of Moon River Park, the sky above their heads showed a very beautiful color, the end was black, then dark blue, light blue, orange yellow, and finally pink and red, and the sun in the distance rose little by little from the blue sea level.

"It's sunrise!" Jiang Xian excitedly pulled Jun Yao's hand beside her, Jun Yao was a little dizzy by her shaking, so she reached out and grabbed Jiang Xian's hand, "I know it's sunrise, don't shake Jiang Xian!" I was dizzy. ”

"Ahh Sorry, I forgot about it when I was excited. Jiang Xian realized it and quickly let go of her hand.

Jun Yao shook her head to indicate that it was okay, so she asked, "You...... Haven't seen the sunrise? ”

Jiang Xian seemed to be stunned for a moment, her expression froze at that moment, but she quickly smiled, "It's true that I haven't seen it for a long time......"

So long that she couldn't even forget how long.

"Looks like you sleep a lot! I don't sleep very well, I always wake up early, I live alone in a big house, and when I wake up, I feel lonely when I look at the empty room. Jun Yao and Jiang Xian leaned on the railing of the plank road in Moon River Park, Jun Yao lay on the railing, looked at Jiang Xian with a sideways face, and smiled a little heartlessly, "Fortunately, there is a small window sill in my room, which can be sat on to see the outside, whenever I wake up in the morning when it is not dark, I sit on the window sill to watch the sunrise." Seeing the dark city lit up little by little, I feel very calm in that moment, and all the unease, loneliness and sadness will dissipate in that moment......"

Jiang Xian smiled, "It's a lucky thing to be able to see the sunrise. ”

Before Jun Yao could think carefully about the meaning of Jiang Xian's words, she heard a crisp and pleasant birdsong.

So the two of them looked together towards the source of the sound, and saw a pure white bird with a layer of golden light floating on its body, leaping out of the calm surface of the lake like a smooth and clean mirror, it flapped its wings, and the whole lake trembled, and the water waves spread outward and hit the shore of the lake.

The white bird flew in the direction of the sun, as if it was burned by the sun's heat, and its feathers gradually turned red, and it suddenly raised its head, flew straight towards the sky, and then spread its wings.

"Phoenix." Jun Yao muttered.

That's right, it's a phoenix, a phoenix born from the bottom of the lake.

The phoenix flew in the direction of Jun Yao and Jiang Xian, and where its tail passed, it sprinkled gold dust, and the golden powder fell on the surface of the deep blue lake, under the reflection of the sun, like a star blinking in the night sky.

The phoenix flew close to the surface of the lake, and just as it was about to fly to the center of the lake, many hands suddenly stretched out on the surface of the lake. Pairs of white hands stretched out from the dark blue lake, and they waved wildly as if they felt some calling, and the phoenix was caught by those hands.

Jun Yao was very anxious whether the phoenix would be dragged back into the lake by those hands, she leaned forward, as if she wanted to see more clearly, and then her movements were stunned.

Those hands were not ordinary hands, but they belonged to children.

Child?

The phoenix struggled, flapping its wings as hard as it could, and it chirped, and at last it flew up towards the sky, bringing the owner of those hands out of the lake.

It's really all children!

Jun Yao looked at the many children hanging on the phoenix, and her heart began to feel uneasy, and something in her mind that had been ignored countless times gradually became clear.

The phoenix sang, and the crazy children calmed down, and the lake began to shake, and thousands of spirited children jumped out of the lake, and they ran in the direction of the phoenix, surrounded it, and they sang along with the phoenix.

"Ding-dong, midnight magic strikes. Oops, who's playing the game? When the bell strikes twelve, O traveler passing by—have you seen my daughter? She held her beloved doll and disappeared into the night forest. It hurts, please don't hurt again! O Eternal Lord of Time—I will sleep here. ”

Jun Yao saw acquaintances in that group of children.

Alice with curly blond hair and blue eyes, Lily with orange double braids and green eyes, Adam in a blue sailor suit, a little boy with blue hair who looks like a little adult, and Anne with orange hair......

Jun Yao's back was wet with cold sweat, and she remembered what she had seen in the basement last night.

Warm lighting, clean room, a lot of bedding and pillows in the corner, and a large pot of water and some food snacks on the wooden table next to it.

The children trembled when they pushed the door in, and they were extremely vigilant, and when Yin Weiyu said that he was going to take them away, the hesitant look on the children's faces, and when Arthur appeared, the children did not react.

An idea that had never been seriously thought about but which was most likely a reality came to mind.

The "dark blue echo" in front of her was still continuing, but Jun Yao had no interest in watching it, she wanted to run away from here as soon as she wanted to, but her feet were like lead and couldn't move.

She could only turn her head to look at Jiang Xian, who knew that Jiang Xian was also looking at her.

"What's wrong with you? Your back is sweating, and your clothes are all wet......" Jiang Xian asked with concern.

Jun Yao opened her mouth, but found that she seemed to be speechless, as if something was stuck in her throat, she took a deep breath, frowned and coughed hard twice, only then did she find her voice.

"Jiang Xian, we seem to be wrong."

Jiang Xian just smiled faintly, "Why?" She asked softly.

"So that's what Linda meant by the ritual." Jun Yao laughed self-deprecatingly, "The echo of the dark blue is the children's memorial ceremony." ”

"A memorial ceremony?"

"Yes, it turns out that so many clues have already given us hints, but we are too sure of the answer we see, so we ...... Naturally, these details are overlooked, and they are picked up gently and thrown away indifferently. Jun Yao closed her eyes, looked up, and laughed like crazy.

"Shen Junyao." Jiang Xian grabbed Jun Yao, who looked like she was going crazy, as if to pull her back from that madness, "Wake up!" Shen Junyao! ”

Jun Yao seemed to hear Jiang Xian's words, she stopped laughing, she looked at Jiang Xian, and then turned her head to look at the Moon River behind her. The next second, she grabbed Jiang Xian's hand and was about to leave, Jiang Xian was even more confused by her series of actions.

How can you watch a "deep blue echo" still make people crazy?

"We'll go find Xu Qingdye them now, maybe it's still too late." Jun Yao was talking to herself again.

"In time, what?"

"Revise the final answer."

Xu Qingran and Lin Mo walked side by side, the children followed the two of them, and Ai Yu was at the back.

Although the main quest has been completed, they still need to complete the final quest handover and then trigger the post-plot before they can leave. Before you leave the mission, even if the system tells you that it's all over, don't take it lightly, because there have been many Dream Travelers who died before the post-plot triggers and left. This is the most unworthy way to die, after all, after all the hard work finally completed this series of tasks, and died before leaving, how aggrieved!

The three of them all had props in their hands, after all, it would take seven or eight minutes to walk from the Eternal Sleep Inn to the mayor's office, and if something happened along the way, it wouldn't be worth it.

Lin Mo originally wanted to break off, but Xu Qingran said that she used her ability too often at night, and her body consumption was too great, if there was really any problem, she might not be able to deal with it, and it was enough for him to walk alone in front of him, and he was relieved that Ai Yu was in the back. But Lin Mo knew that Xu Qingran's real purpose was not this.

"You're trying to ask me about last night, right?" Lin Mo got straight to the point.

"You can see it." Xu Qingran smiled and did not deny it.

"Anyway, everyone is a member of the organization, and we have completed three missions together, and I can still read some of your facial expressions. For example, when you scratch your hair, you are nervous, when your eyes wander, you hide the person who is avoiding, and sometimes you don't hide your eyes, you can know what you are thinking. Lin Mo smiled happily, and seemed to think that it was a rare thing to make fun of Xu Qingran, "When I woke up last night, I found myself standing in front of the bell tower, and the discomfort on my body seemed to have disappeared. I vaguely remember that there was a fight in the bell tower, and then I heard the singing, the same song I heard the first night, and then I couldn't remember anything after that. ”

"I'm possessed by something, right?" Lin Mo asked, Xu Qingran looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you say you didn't know what happened after?" ”

"I really don't know, but when I came to my senses, your eyes kept staring at my necklace, and if I couldn't react like this, wouldn't it be too stupid?"

"Ah, that's right...... Then I'm too easily exposed. Xu Qingran smiled helplessly, "You were possessed by Elizabeth last night." Ai Yu and I fought Arthur in the bell tower, but he was so strong that we couldn't fight at all, and at that time I felt that my time of death was coming. Suddenly, the bell tower is filled with rose petals, and Avarice and Elizabeth, who is possessed of you, appear and save us and dispose of Arthur. ”

"Elizabeth? Isn't Elizabeth dead? Lin Mo said suspiciously, "When we were in the clock tower, didn't we hear Arthur and Avarice talking?" Arthur asked Avarice where Elizabeth had gone, and she sarcastically mocked Arthur. And Elizabeth also left a farewell letter......"

"Elizabeth is a god." Xu Qingran shook her head, "Maybe she has been hurt a little and needs to be healed, after all, Elizabeth only left a farewell letter, but we can't be sure that she is dead through this letter." When Arthur asks Avarice at the bell tower, he can't find Elizabeth's whereabouts, so Avarice induces him to think of Elizabeth's death. In fact, Elizabeth is not dead at all, Avarice knows, but hides it from Arthur. Sure enough, it's a god, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. ”

Having said that, they had already walked to the mayor's office, Xu Qingran gently pushed open the door, turned back and smiled at the children, "Let's go, let's go meet the mayor, and then take you home, okay?" ”

Anne shook her head at this time and cried, "No, I don't want ...... Don't ......"

"Ah, are you here? The mayor said that he heard movement downstairs and asked me to take a look. Linda's voice suddenly sounded, Xu Qingran nodded, and just as he was talking to something, James appeared on the stairs.

"It's the detectives here...... The children were finally found. James smiled, his tone was still so kind, but Lin Mo frowned, as if he had noticed something wrong.

[The post-story has been activated, and it can be teleported after 5 minutes]

[Dream travelers can also choose to continue exploring in the town and complete other tasks before teleporting]

[Teleportation can be activated at any time after activation]

"Would you like to go upstairs for a cup of tea?" James asked.

Xu Qingran subconsciously wanted to agree, but Lin Mo suddenly grabbed his wrist, which was a hint, so Xu Qingran changed his words and shook his head, "No need, we are still in a hurry to meet the team members, and there are two team members who have not returned to the team, I am a little nervous about them." ”

James nodded, not annoyed by the rejection of the invitation, he quietly listened to what Xu Qingran said, and then smiled brightly, "Are those two younger detectives?" If so, they're sitting in my office drinking tea. ”

"Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao are where you are?" Ai Yu felt a little strange, didn't the children say that Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao were resting in the hotel room?

"yes, this thing, it's theirs, right?" James spread out his palm, and a small bamboo dragonfly and a mirror lay in his palm.

It's [Bamboo Dragonfly] and [Ten Square Mirrors]. That was what Lin Mo got from Jack, and then handed it to Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao for them to choose for themselves.

These two props were carried by them, and it is unlikely that they will be lost on the road, so the two children are really drinking tea in the mayor's office? How could the two of them be in the mayor's office? Could it be that like Jun Yao and Jiang Xian, he triggered a special task and came to complete it by himself?

Xu Qingran glanced at Lin Mo, Lin Mo had no choice but to nod, after all, he couldn't throw the two of them down, so the three of them compromised, "Then let's go up and pick them up." ”

James said to Linda, "You take the kids where they need to go, detectives, please come with me." ”

Linda half-pushed and half-hurriedly took the children outside, Xu Qingran and the three followed James upstairs, pushed open the office door, Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao really sat on the sofa and drank tea, and the two looked in the direction of the door together, "Brother Xu!" Sister Ai, Sister Lin! Why are there only three of you? ”

James walked towards the back of the office, "I'm going to make you tea, do you mind sitting and waiting for a while?" The car that will pick you up will arrive in a few minutes. ”

Ai Yu nodded, it was indeed two minutes away from the teleportable time, so she took the lead in walking towards Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, and took two steps, only to find that Xu Qingran and Lin Mo had not moved, "What's wrong with you two?" Come sit down, and when the time is up, we can go straight back. Do you have any more tasks to complete? ”

Xu Qingran stared at Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao nervously, stretched out his right hand towards Ai Yu, and motioned for her to come over, "Ai Yu, I suddenly remembered that there is another place where the task can be triggered, let's go now." ”

"Huh? What's the place? Ai Yu stood there suspiciously, but did not move.

"Come here, I'll tell you." Xu Qingran still looked at the two people sitting on the sofa, he lost his patience, and took a step forward, pulling Ai Yu over, "Go!" ”

Chen Yang stood up at this time, "Brother Xu, why did you leave?" Don't take us with you? ”

Zhao Xiao also stood up, "Yes, why...... Don't take us with you! ”

Lin Mo quickly threw out a piece of rune paper, then pulled the doorknob and closed the office door, and Lin Mo pasted three or four pieces of rune paper on the door.

"They're not human." Lin Mo said categorically, "Because the cloth they are wearing is not the same one last night." ”

"But maybe they went back to the hotel to change their clothes?" Ai Yu asked rhetorically.

"There's bloody clothes under the couch, the same clothes they wore last night."
