Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 39 Remorse
"To be honest, we didn't get any useful clues at all." Ai Yu was the first to speak, "Jiang Xian and I walked around the town in a group, and when we saw a more amiable person, we went up to chat, and I wanted to use some conversation skills to gradually set out some useful clues, but who knew that we stopped four or five people, and before we could say a few words, those people said that they had something to do and were not available, and then left." ”
"That's the case with us." Yin Weiyu was in a group with Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, and the three of them also encountered the same situation as Ai Yu Jiangxian, "Not only that, we walked to a more lively street, I originally thought that it shouldn't be a problem for many people here to grab two or three casually to ask, who knew that we just appeared, these residents saw us as if they were ghosts alive, and they retreated vigorously, it didn't seem like they had too much contact with us, and many people ran away quickly." You can at least talk to people, and I feel like I'm like a relentless repeater today, repeating 'hello, excuse me' and 'excuse me'. ”
"I always feel that the townspeople are deliberately avoiding us, and this situation only started today, after all, when we walked down the street yesterday, we also passed the more lively street you just mentioned, and the residents didn't shy away from us at that time, and even yelled at us to buy things." Jiang Xian continued, "Speaking of which, when we went to Adam's house this morning, we almost couldn't get in because there were too many people in the town to watch the excitement, so if you were really afraid of us, you should have run away quickly at that time." ”
"That's right! At that time, it was the mayor of the town who opened his mouth to relieve us! Jun Yao suddenly remembered that at that time, because the only door of Adam's house was surrounded by water, the assistant Linda tried to open the way for them but failed, at that time the mayor seemed to see them and shouted, "He said at that time, 'Detectives, you are finally here', it seems that the reaction of the residents of the town at that time is very similar to the scene you described in the light rain." ”
"This makes sense, I remember that our identities are travelers, when the mayor first existed as a guide NPC, he kept saying 'travelers', why did he change his name this morning and call us 'detectives'? The mayor doesn't look like a fool, he keeps emphasizing that because he doesn't want to cause panic in the town, so our investigation needs to be fast and quiet, and we've been careful these days, but he just beat us back to our original form with a detective. Jiang Xian looked a little angry, "Do you think the mayor deliberately said this in front of everyone?" His detective is to expose our identities in public, just like ......"
"I'm giving someone a hint." Xu Qingran naturally took Jiang Xian's words, Jiang Xian nodded, since Xu Qingran understood what she was going to say and analyzed it, there was no need for her to say more. Xu Qingran shook his head, looking a little helpless, "Mayor Zhen is really not a simple guide NPC, the system arranged him for us just to reduce our vigilance, and then give us a fatal blow at a critical time." Now it seems that this arrangement of the system is quite good, because we have indeed been tricked by the mayor, and now we want to ask something from the random resident NPCs, which is even harder than climbing to the sky. ”
"We really don't have much to gain, what about lightly dyeing you?" Ai Yu let out a long sigh, it's not that they are useless, if it weren't for the mayor's sudden "Detective, you're here", the townspeople would be very wary of them compared to the townspeople, right? After all, they had already appeared in the town for two or three days, and if they really thought they were strange people, they should have shown hostility or something on the first day, and it would not be until the third day that they showed their original form-for-tat.
Mayor James, ginger is still old and spicy!
"Let's talk about a diary we found in Adam's room, and the more important part of the diary is that Adam and his friends played hide and seek, and then there was a teleportation event. The location of the teleportation was the street next to the Eternal Star Theater, and Adam also saw a blood-red eye on the second floor of the theater. Xu Qingran nodded, and began to tell the clues they found, "Speaking of this Yongxing Grand Theater, Jiang Xian, do you remember the contents of the newspapers that you tore from the notice board that day?" ”
"Newspaper on the bulletin board? Is it the part about the time curse? Jiang Xian was a little puzzled why Xu Qingran suddenly asked her this question, and she frowned, saying that she really couldn't understand his intentions.
"No, you took off several newspapers, didn't you? I'm talking about the contents of the newspapers other than the one that says the curse of time. ”
"That's really embarrassing for me, I just skimmed the first paragraph at the time, after all, all the attention was on the curse of time, and other inconsequential things, naturally I didn't take a few more looks." Jiang Xian obviously felt a little headache, and she struggled to remember what was still on the newspaper she picked up that day, "I only remember the title, Moon River Park remembered the mysterious cry, and the Eternal Night Forest...... Surprise a mysterious castle? About the Yongxing Grand Theater, it seems that there is a new play? I don't remember exactly, maybe it's the title...... Then again, I took the report off the bulletin board, if you really want to know, you can go to the bulletin board and tear it up again? ”
"If you can find it, it won't be difficult for you to reminisce about it." Xu Qingran sighed, it seems that the clues of this report are completely hopeless, if you want to find out the mysterious locations related to the mission, the Eternal Night Forest and the Yongxing Grand Theater, there is only one way to do it - not to enter the tiger's den, but to get the tiger.
"Let's go on first, Adam's diary mentions not only the blood-red eyes of the Eternal Star Theater, but also about his expedition to the clock tower with Lily and Alex, and the bell tower they entered was completely different from the one we entered two days ago."
"There are two bell towers in Eternal Sleep?" Jiang Xian asked with some surprise, "So which of them is real and which one is fake?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head, "To be precise, both of them are true. I can only say that they are all true, but the bell tower we walked into before is the real clock tower in this world. ”
Lin Mo's words made Jiang Xian a little confused, so Jiang Xian didn't bother with the question of the real and false bell tower, she was even more curious about what important clues the three of them found after they went in.
"We were in another bell tower, let's call it the B bell tower for the time being, and we found a long fresco, the first half of the mural is the origin of Eternal Sleep, which can basically match the origin of the Eternal Sleep town that the lady of Lily's family told you, but the content on the mural is a little more complete. And Jun Yao recognized the woman on the mural, her name was Avarice, the Lord of Greed. ”
When Xu Qingran spit out the name Avarice, Yin Weiyu was stunned for a moment, she turned her head to look at Jun Yao beside her, stretched out her right hand and grabbed Jun Yao's hand, obviously Yin Weiyu was apprehensive about the last mission "Wish".
"But this Avarice is not the point, Jun Yao deduced that Avarice is the lord of Eternal Sleep, and from the information we have so far, it can be seen that this time our opponent should be the witch who stole the power from Avarice. So this Avarice is not in the scope of our analysis. Xu Qingran made a decision, and then began to describe the second half of the mural, "A blonde girl was looking for a castle in the forest, and on the way she met a crow with a wounded wing, and the girl bandaged the crow's wounds, and then took the crow to continue looking for the castle, and finally the girl found the castle and broke in. She seemed to be looking for something inside the castle, but found nothing, and when she tried to leave, she found that the raven she had rescued was gone. Then, a blonde girl pushed open the castle gate, and Avarice handed the scepter to the girl, and the girl cried, and Avarice left. We deduce that the blonde girl in the second half of this mural and the blonde girl are the same person, that is, Elizabeth. ”
"Elizabeth and Avarice knew each other, and we saw Avarice's self-portrait of her in Elizabeth's room, which is enough to prove that the relationship between the two should be good. As for why it is inferred that the person on this mural is Elizabeth, not only because she has blonde hair, but also because the content on the mural is consistent with Elizabeth's experience. Jun Yao continued on with Xu Qingran's words, "The lady of the George family, when she recounted the riot at Elizabeth's birthday party, mentioned that the chaos was caused by the presence of a Mr. Crow. Mr. Raven wants to give Elizabeth a gift he has prepared to repay Elizabeth for saving her life. This passage is completely consistent with the content of the mural, the little girl rescued the injured crow and took it to the hidden castle to recuperate. It is precisely because this story fits Mrs. George's description exactly that we deduce that the character on it is Elizabeth. ”
"At the end of the mural, Avarice gives her scepter to the blonde maiden, and Lady George says that when the townspeople tried to kill Elizabeth for a chance to survive, Elizabeth fled into the forest, and when she returned, with the power of the gods, she cast a curse." Jun Yao put her hands together on her chin, and she paused, "So, the blonde girl on this mural is Elizabeth, and at the same time, we have solved a previous doubt - in the letter that Elizabeth left Arthur, it was mentioned that she had brought a disaster, but instead of preventing it from happening, she allowed it to continue." At that time, we had been curious about what Elizabeth had to solve in her heart, which was called fate, but now it is very clear......"
"The raven that Elizabeth saved was a slave of the witch, perhaps the witch had been looking for the god's abode, she had coveted the god's power and territory for a long time, but she couldn't find it, but Elizabeth's good deed made the crow find the god's hiding place, so they stole the power. The reason why the town gradually became a place controlled by witches was because of Elizabeth's unintentional relief, and at her sixteenth birthday party, she finally understood this, so she regretted it, and she also understood that the disaster she had created should be solved by herself. ”
Xu Qingran nodded, Jun Yao's analysis was very in place, and it seemed that he didn't have anything to add for her, so he asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
Lin Mo remembered that there was still a visit to Alice's house and didn't make it clear, "Our main quest has been updated, have you seen it?" ”
Yin Weiyu nodded, but didn't answer, Lin Mo knew that they didn't want to interrupt him, so he continued, "We visited Alice's house again, that father Arthur seems to have a better communication than before, we asked him to ask him a question, and the response he gave was to get something he was interested in in exchange. I thought about it for a moment, combined with the first time you visited him, mentioning that his daughter Alice was missing, and then he jumped to his feet. His whole state is very decadent, and he is obviously hit by the disappearance of his daughter, so maybe ...... Once we find Alice's whereabouts, we will be able to exchange information with him. ”
"But is Alice really alive?" Zhao Xiao asked with some concern, "We have visited so many families in the past few days, and they all seem to have tacitly agreed that the missing child is dead. And then there's the terrible thing we see in Adam's house today......"
"This should be just one of the things that Arthur is interested in, and we may have to find a way to at least ask about Arthur from the townspeople's NPCs as a breakthrough to deduce what he would be interested in. Okay, is there anything else that needs to be said? ”
After a short silence, Xu Qingran began to conclude, "Then there are two things we need to do at the moment. First, go to the Forest of Eternal Night to see what is going on and find the mysterious castle. Second, learn as much as you can about Arthur, and then deduce things that he might be interested in, and then search for information about it. ”
"If you go to the forest, just act as a group, and the eight of us will go together."
