The task was reset, and all of them returned to the position where they had received the task, and the warm prompt of the system gradually disappeared, and Xu Qingran looked in the direction of the old carpenter Jack, who remained in a still posture, just like just now.

Jiang Xian didn't say a word, as if she was thinking about something, "Obviously, Jack himself mentioned Alice, and then we asked about Alice." Besides, the task is to get us to mention Arthur in due course, and now that we haven't even said Arthur's name, why did we fail......"

Jun Yao suddenly opened his mouth at this time, "We said that we are travelers here, and we have learned some strange things about the town by hearsay, but after all, it's not all!" Imagine if we were really ordinary travelers who came here for a tour, what would we ask first after hearing that something strange was happening here? Who shouldn't be missing? Boy or girl? Why did it disappear? Did you find it? We only focus on the age, gender, and reason for the disappearance, and will we really be interested in their names? We are just ordinary travelers, and if we come here to travel, we will not know any acquaintances here, so it is unnecessary to inquire about names. Therefore, when we react to the name Alice, we should not ask about Alice's relationship with Jack, but about who Alice is in his mouth. ”

"You're right." Xu Qingran had to admit that he was in too much of a hurry at the time, all his attention was on Jack, he was obviously talking about things related to Moon River, and it was really strange to mention Alice so abruptly. In connection with the requirements given by the mission, since it was Alice who was proposed by Jack, then he pushed the boat along the water, followed his words first, and when he talked about the relationship with Alice, didn't Arthur naturally lead it out as her father? But he was too careless, and he didn't think of the logic of "whether you should know Alice according to common sense".

"Let's talk like you just did, we're here to watch, and if anything goes wrong, we will definitely be able to save you as soon as possible." Lin Mo nodded at Xu Qingran, wanting the three of them to do the task with peace of mind, so the three of them walked over slowly and repeated Fang Cai's actions and conversations.

"Stay and see this rare spectacle." Jack said slowly, his gaze fell on the dark blue lake, the flickering sunlight made the lake seem to have a pair of eyes blinking, he closed his eyes, sighed inaudibly, as if remembering something, and said nostalgically, "You must see it." Alice, that kid has always wanted to see ......."

"What did you say?" Jun Yao leaned in his direction as if she hadn't heard Jack's words clearly, "Is the dark blue echo really that beautiful?" And it's hard to get? How many years is that? ”

"You just mentioned Alice, didn't you? She was...... Your daughter? Jiang Xian also pretended to be very unconcerned and asked casually.

Jack nodded, and the cane he held in his right hand tapped the ground lightly twice, as if to express some kind of unwillingness, "The echo of the deep blue happens once every forty years, and only appears when the sun sets on the full moon. Its charm cannot be described in words, because the moment you see it, your thoughts stop completely, and you only have it in your eyes, the only one. ”

"As for Alice...... She's not my daughter, my daughter died a long time ago, at the same age as Alice's child, because of an accident. Jack's voice was tinged with sadness, and he spoke calmly, but the more he did this, the more poignant and distressing it became.

"Sorry, we don't know...... Poke your heartache. However, it seems that you like this girl named Alice very much, and since you said that there will be a dark blue echo in three days, then Alice can also be seen? Jiang Xian apologized.

Jack still shook his head, "No, Alice's kid can't see......"

"Why? Isn't she in this town? Xu Qingran asked.

"Now that I'm going to tell you the story of Alice and me."

It seems that this level is over, there is no system prompt, and the scene is not restored, which proves that they have succeeded. Then then, all it takes is the moment to mention Arthur.

"The first time I saw Alice's child, it was here. It was a sunny day, the weather was just right, and it was a good spring day like no other. I was walking my dog along the trestle in Moon River Park, and suddenly Betty rushed out, and I was distracted for a moment, and I couldn't hold Betty, so she pounced on a child. ”

"The first time I saw Alice, I thought she was a beautiful child. She was wheeled by Betty to the soft grass, and I saw her blonde hair spread over the verdant green, and she was stunningly beautiful. At that moment I thought I had come to heaven, because she, like the lake behind me, was a beauty that should not exist on earth. Betty stuck out her tongue and licked her pink cheeks, she felt the itch, and she giggled, her voice as crisp as a bell. She saw me and got up from the grass, and she happily asked me if Betty was my dog and if she could play with Betty for a while. ”

"I think I'm supposed to see an angel, she's the angel, I watched in a daze as she played with Betty, and gradually I felt scared, I was afraid that she would just disappear. But I should have expected that at this moment, she would disappear as if she had appeared out of nowhere, and the only thing I could do was to look at her a few more times. ”

"When I saw her, I thought of my daughter, my Jenny, who was just like this child...... I was immersed in the memories and watched her leave. I returned home dejected, only to hear a call. Alice was lying on the balcony on the second floor of her house, waving at Betty and me, and her smile was so beautiful that she wanted to keep it for herself no matter how many times she saw it. ”

"I'm glad it wasn't a dream of mine, it wasn't an illusion that would go away with my hand, Alice was my new neighbor. Since then, she has come to my house a lot, she plays with Betty, and I get very happy when I see her. ”

At this point, Jack suddenly paused, and he took a deep breath, as if he was mentally preparing to regulate his emotions, which also implied that the story he was going to tell was in a different tone than before, "but everything has changed...... Betty is very old, she's been with me for ten years, and it's time to say goodbye. On the day Betty left, it was a rainy day, and I was drawing designs in the house when I suddenly heard a thunderclap from the window, which seemed to be raining. Then I remembered that Betty was still in the garden outside the house, so I went out to call Betty back. When I pushed the door open, Betty's eyes were closed, her white body was lying on the stone floor, and Alice was standing in the doorway with a few unknown flowers in her hands, looking panicked. ”

God says that every life lost is sad and beautiful, and that it deserves to be remembered. The rain fell on us, and I slowly approached Betty, feeling her breath that no longer existed, and I hugged her gradually cold body, feeling the whole process of life passing. It turns out that the loss of a life is really, really so easy, so fragile. ”

"Alice held an umbrella and stayed with me for a long, long time. After that, I didn't go out for days, and I finished one of my most satisfying creations to give to Alice, and when I came out of the house again, I didn't realize that the whole of Eternal Sleep had changed. ”

"Alice is missing and can never be found."

Jack finally finished telling the story, and Jun Yao thought to herself, this should be an opportunity.

"This Alice you're talking about is Arthur's daughter, right?" Jun Yao opened her mouth to ask, who knew that Jack turned his head to look at her, with a little coldness in his eyes, Jun Yao was suddenly stunned, only to hear the system voice "ding-" suddenly sounded.

The world becomes black and white and then returns to primitive.

【Mission Reset】

[Special Quest 1-1: Meet with Jack the old carpenter at Moon River Park, ask him about Moon River Park, and bring up Arthur in due course.] Be careful to speak, there are only two chances to reset this quest. （1/3）】

[Tips: Please pay attention to the timing of mentioning Arthur with the old carpenter Jack, and never reveal your true intentions. After this opportunity is used, Special Mission 1-1 will fail and enter a permanent lockdown state, so please act with caution. 】

"What's going on? Isn't this the right time? Jun Yao was also a little puzzled, and after talking about Alice-related things, she said to her father, is there anything wrong with this logic?

"Are we too anxious? But Alice's father-daughter relationship with Arthur is real, and when it comes to the disappearance of her daughter, she will definitely ask......" Jiang Xian stopped talking halfway through, "Which lady did we hear about Alice's family before, did this old carpenter Jack go to persuade Arthur, but was beaten and kicked out?" Jack certainly didn't like Arthur, and maybe hated him very, very much. After all, when he just talked about things, he didn't talk about Alice's family from beginning to end. So when he recalls one of his best memories, he suddenly mentions her father, whom he hates very much, and it fails. ”

"Maybe we can mention it in another way, for example, by saying that Alice is missing." Xu Qingran seemed to have already thought of a plan, but he suddenly became a little hesitant because he noticed the prompt at the end of the task.

The task is permanently locked, meaning it can no longer be opened? Special quests are the stepping stone to hide side quests, and if the special quest is permanently locked, then their idea of wanting to achieve a Ture ending in this quest will be in vain.

He's just an imaginary plan, if this way is still wrong, won't it hurt everyone and make everyone's efforts in vain?

"Try it? There will always be a solution, and even if it does fail, there is nothing to worry about, after all, we have always faced such a thing, right? Jun Yao understood Xu Qingran's concerns, so she walked in the direction of Jack.

That's right, isn't it a failure? Nothing to care about.

"It's just missing, how do you sound like ...... Dead the same? Xu Qingran frowned and asked very puzzledly, "Actually, I want to ask, the town is so big, so many children are missing, hasn't the murderer been found yet?" ”

Jack shook his head, "If it had gone well, I wouldn't have been so upset." The murderer couldn't be found, and maybe it wasn't made by a human at all. ”

"How much do you know about this serial disappearance? In fact, when we were in the town for the past two days, we also heard some rumors, or speculations. Xu Qingran paid attention to Jack's expression as he spoke, for fear that he would show something abnormal, and once he made such a discovery, Xu Qingran would immediately stop the topic.

"Oh? What kind of rumors have you heard? Jack looked interested.

"Ahem, I just heard about it casually. It seems that the disappearance of this child has something to do with a guy called Adam, oh no, Arthur. Xu Qingran seemed to be trying to recall, and he was not very familiar with the name of this suspect.

Arthur ...... It's Alice's father, although I haven't talked to the people in the town for a long time, but I have heard a little about this serial disappearance, and the disappearance of the children has something to do with this Arthur and the puppet, if you are really curious, you might as well ask the people in the town about the puppet. ”
