Jun Yao and the three of them followed the golden butterfly all the way, went down the stairs, and went down from the escalator they had built themselves to the negative floor, where the butterfly stood on the edge of the narrow passage, as if waiting for them to pass.

The sound of holiness singing came from the bell tower again, and Jun Yao took one last look up at the high staircase before entering the dark passage, and she saw Avarice walking up step by step, and the masked man couldn't do anything about her. Jun Yao didn't continue to look at it, she hurriedly entered the dark passage under Lin Mo's urging and began to crawl.

The three of them climbed for five or six minutes and then returned to the position of the vent, in fact, the dark passage they came back was exactly the same as when they came, just because they were very anxious when they came back, and there was the golden butterfly to open the way, and the front was tacitly assumed that there was no danger, and there was no need to be guarded, so their speed was naturally faster. When the three of them had already come out of the passage, the golden butterfly circled around them twice, and then stopped at Jun Yao's hand.

What does that mean?

The butterfly stopped in Jun Yao's hand, but soon flew again, it flew in the direction of the left, just flew out for a distance, but found that Jun Yao and the three did not follow, so it turned back and stayed in Jun Yao's hand again, and then flew to the left.

Now Jun Yao understood what it meant, this was to ask them to keep up with it. But where does the butterfly want to take them? Or rather, what message does Avarice want to send to them through this butterfly?

"Let's keep up with it." After Jun Yao finished speaking, he raised his heel and went up, Xu Qingran hesitated a little, he suddenly felt that Shen Junyao was also very strange today. They squatted down in front of Elizabeth's room door, and then saw the masked man, when the masked man spoke, he obviously felt Jun Yao's whole body tense, she was vigilant, guarded, and afraid. But when the woman's voice sounded, and then saw her face, Jun Yao actually breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had great trust in this woman who suddenly appeared with an unknown friend or foe.

Why do you believe in this woman so much? She is not Elizabeth, she suddenly appeared here, although she does not look different from the position of the masked man, but Xu Qingran clearly remembers that the woman mentioned that they are "old people", the woman and the masked man are people who know each other, and they can still talk face-to-face so calmly for so long, presumably they will not be hostile to the point of life and death, right? What if two people join hands and deal with the three of them?

This possibility is not impossible, after all, the appearance of this woman is too weird. Xu Qingran was sure that there would be no one on the stairs below them before the mysterious singing appeared, and they were all very intently looking at the murals on the walls, and anyone on the stairs below would definitely be seen by them, but it wasn't until the masked man asked aloud that they realized that the woman was behind them. She must have appeared out of nowhere, and as for why she did so suddenly, there is no way to know.

Although the words and deeds of the woman in the bell tower just now are helping them, but what is her purpose? This woman is not a dream traveler, she is an NPC in a mission, and a hidden NPC, is she really that kind? Helping them escape from the masked man has done their duty, but now what is this golden butterfly going to do?

"Jun Yao, do you know that woman just now?" Under many doubts, Xu Qingran finally asked.

Jun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Yes." ”

Xu Qingran was stunned by her such open-mindedness, "Who is she?" ”

"Avarice, Lord of Greed, the god of greed among the Seven Deadly Sins." Jun Yao glanced at Lin Mo, "Don't you have the physique of a spirit medium?" Can't read her message? ”

Lin Mo shook his head, "As you said, she is a god. The physique of the spirit medium is only suitable for demons and monsters, and the existence of gods is not something that the spirit medium can perceive. But if you say she's Avarice, isn't that the name of the person who paid for the painting hanging in Elizabeth's room? ”

"That's right, and not only that, but she's also the one who has been depicted in the first half of the mural." Jun Yao finally remembered what the inexplicable sense of familiarity was when she saw the content on the mural, because it was someone she had seen and knew. The painting style of the mural is not the same as the oil painting, so Jun Yao couldn't react for a long time after seeing it, but when Avarice suddenly appeared behind them and started talking to the masked man, Jun Yao looked at her, and Avarice was on the same level as the woman in the mural, so by comparison, he could recognize that they were the same person.

"If you say this Ava...... The Lord of Greed is the protagonist of the first half of the mural, so Eternal Sleep is her territory. But on the curse of time, we see that every sentence is in the form of 'O man who is protected by time', and I think that this time is the power of the gods of this territory, but the lord of greed...... You say that she is one of the seven deadly sins, and as we know, the seven deadly sins are pride, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust, none of which have anything to do with time. Xu Qingran questioned, Jun Yao shook his head, "I don't know about this, but I'm sure that the mural is painted on Avarice, as for why a god in charge of greed pursues the protection of time on the territory, I can't say clearly, after all, this clue about Avarice is also a hidden clue related to the ultimate mission that I got in the novice quest I completed before." ”

The implication is that Avarice is related to my ultimate mission, and if I know all about her now, why don't I just go for it?

Xu Qingran didn't know how to answer Jun Yao's words for a while, Jun Yao sighed, "No matter who she is or what power she uses it for, it doesn't matter, right?" After all, she's not the final boss of this character, is she? The masked man was going to kill us, and Avarice was willing to come to our rescue in such a critical situation, at least for now, she didn't threaten us, did she? This butterfly she left behind looks like it's going to take us somewhere, but the choice is up to us, isn't it? We can follow it first and see where it is going to take us, and if something really is wrong and there is danger, we can turn around and leave. Besides, aren't we already out of the Senro Illusion? There are props to defend yourself, at least halving the chance of death, right? ”

Jun Yao persuaded reasonably, she seemed to be analyzing this matter very calmly, but she seemed to be unconsciously speaking out to defend Avarice, Jun Yao didn't know why she would defend Avarice, obviously she still wanted to kill her big boss in the last mission, and now, she actually said "I believe her", this idea is really ridiculous.

"Light dyeing, what Jun Yao said makes sense, since she has information about this greedy lord Avarice before, she naturally knows a little better than us, we might as well try it according to what she said first? I've felt it, and now we're in the real world, so we don't have to worry about the failure of Senro's illusions and props. If you bet right, you can get clues, and if you bet wrong, it's just a fight, in short, you won't die, and the worst result is not death, so why not give it a try? ”

Xu Qingran sighed, as if he had compromised, "Then let's go." ”

The golden butterfly led the way, and the three of them circled around the bell tower, and then returned to the gate of the bell tower, where the butterfly stopped on the lock on the gate, flapped its wings slightly, and then, the heavy and old lock was melted away by the gold dust scattered by the fluttering of the wings. The butterfly flew away from the copper ring, so Jun Yao took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the bell tower.

The smell of dust on their faces, the scene in front of them was very familiar, and the bell tower in front of them was no longer the one they had just broken into, but the bell tower of the "Z" shaped staircase that they had already seen twice.

Jun Yao turned to look at the butterfly, but found that the butterfly had disappeared for some time, Xu Qingran ignored the butterfly that led the way for them, and walked straight towards the handrail of the stairs.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...... Seven, eight, nine......

"Three more bloody handprints." Xu Qingran counted the bloody handprints on the handrails, and on the basis of increasing one to six yesterday, there were actually three more bloody handprints on the right hand out of thin air.

"The number of extra bloody handprints is the number of children who will go missing the next day...... We're running out of time. Jun Yao frowned, yesterday it was only one, and today it suddenly became three, it seems that there is not much time left for them in this task, after all, if it is really calculated like this, there are only fifteen children in the town, and there will be only six children left tomorrow morning, if the number of missing children is according to some kind of mathematical number series rules, it is very likely that they only have two days left.

Xu Qingran's face was also solemn, it seemed that he also thought of the same question as Jun Yao.

"Are we going to go up and have a look? Elizabeth's room, or rather walking up there. Lin Mo asked.

Jun Yao thought that she should continue to go up and have a look, and Elizabeth's room should probably be searched more carefully, after all, she was now convinced that the two protagonists on the mural in the bell tower just now were Avarice and the other was Elizabeth, and in the center of Elizabeth's room hung a portrait of Avarice for her, plus the strange dream she had last night......

Jun Yao is sure that Elizabeth's room must have hidden clues that can prove or explain the relationship between Elizabeth and Avarice.

Xu Qingran actually agreed to go upstairs to see the situation, after all, this bell tower is very high from the outside, it must have many floors, but three days have passed, today is the fourth day, their exploration of this bell tower has only reached the second floor, and they have not even gone up to the third floor. Xu Qingran has not forgotten what the beginning of the strange events in the town was, and the singing that sounded with twelve o'clock in the middle of the night was the most important thing. Why is there a singing voice, and what does the singing voice sing? These can only be explored by going up to the very top of the bell tower.

"Then let's go up." Xu Qingran made a final decision and stepped on the stairs first, and the three of them had just climbed a few stairs when they suddenly heard the sound of a bell.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The entire space distorted, and the scene before me was reduced to a swirl of colors, and the sound of the bell was deafening, almost destroying the sanity of the person.

At the last second when everything in front of her was in chaos, Jun Yao caught a glimpse of an orange corner of her clothes.

And that impressive blonde hair.
