"I went around and around, and finally I got to the puppet." Jiang Xian sighed, she turned her head to look at Jun Yao's side face, and found that she seemed to look very serious, so she asked puzzledly, "Jun Yao?" Jun Yao, what are you thinking? ”

Jun Yao was immersed in her own world, and it wasn't until Jiang Xian's call that she pulled her back from her thoughts, and she glanced at Jiang Xian in confusion, "Ah...... I'm just thinking about something. ”

"What did you find?" As soon as Jun Yao said this, Jiang Xian immediately became alert, after all, Jun Yao is indeed the strongest in the entire team in terms of intuition and reasoning, which is recognized by everyone so far in the current task. If Jun Yao had any ideas, even if it might be wrong, it would be a breakthrough. So Jiang Xian asked, Jun Yao hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating, and as if sorting out the organizational language, "I just think what this Jack said is also a little strange, at least it conflicts with the information we got earlier." ”

"What do you mean? Is it an echo of the navy? Jiang Xian recalled carefully, she listened twice to the legend of the echo of the deep blue of the Moon River, and couldn't help but sigh that NPCs are NPCs, talking is really copy and paste, there is not a single superfluous word, and not a single word is missing, "I am really too confused about the god lord of Eternal Sleep Town." The first clue we got was about the people who were sheltered by time, the gods who wielded the power of time. Then in the fresco of the bell tower, the woman depicted is Avarice, the lord of greed you know, who belongs to the Seven Deadly Sins and is in charge of greed, which seems to have nothing to do with time. And just now Jack mentioned the origin of the name Moon River, because the god is the goddess who rules the moon...... That's weird, isn't it? How could the goddess of the moon control time, let alone greed in the system of the seven deadly sins. This is simply paradoxical. ”

Jun Yao really didn't think about this question Jiang Xian said, she looked at Jiang Xian in a daze, and shook her head slightly, "I really didn't pay attention to what you said." ”

"Then ......" Jiang Xian was a little stunned.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with Jack's story about himself and Alice?" Jun Yao asked rhetorically, "I remember which lady we heard about Arthur's family moving in, right?" They don't follow the rules of the town very well, and there is a risk of breaking the ring all the time, which makes everyone panic. They wanted to kick Alice's family out, and it was at that time that they discovered that Alice and Arthur had Elizabeth's power in them, which frightened them and made them afraid to act rashly. But then Alice brought back an unknown flower from the forest, and strange things began to happen in the town, so the old carpenter Jack came up and reprimanded them, but they were wounded. ”

"Ah, there's such a paragraph. It seems to be a clue that Ai Yu's group asked. Jiang Xian nodded, and then reacted to the meaning of Jun Yao's words, "What you mean is that this contradicts Jack's statement that he has a very good relationship with Alice!" After all, Alice in Jack's mouth is a very beautiful existence, and he saw the shadow of his deceased daughter in Alice through Alice, and he was very good to Alice. ”

"That's right, this paragraph is contradictory. And what Jack said at the end is also very puzzling, he sees who we are, but he says 'this place is forgotten by time, only the expectation of death', which is also so strange that he even compares us to the same kind of people as him. ”

"It's weird, indeed, but if I had to choose between two conflicting opinions, I'd choose Jack. He is an NPC with a special mission, which means that the chance of us meeting him is not 100%, and according to Xu Qingran and they said, the opening rate of this special mission is extremely low, so the possibility of him speaking is much smaller. After all, it is possible that we all did not run into him from beginning to end, so it would be redundant for the system to set the story he told to be false. Moreover, the inhabitants of the town were bent on concealing it, and it was common sense for the lady to lie. ”

"Jack...... He is indeed more worthy of our trust. Jun Yao nodded, but was a little melancholy.

But it doesn't have to be fully believed.

During the conversation, the two had reached their destination, Lily's house and Alex's house were next to each other, both houses were reddish-brown and white-toned buildings, the style was left over from the Middle Ages, whether it was the exterior decoration or the interior layout, it was the same, but for some reason, it always gave people two feelings.

On the right is the hope of life, and on the left is the sorrow of death.

Jun Yao looked down at the small clock hanging on the key in his hand, it was only ten and fifteen, and there were still fifteen minutes before the agreed time.

"It's still early, shall we sit over there for a while?" Jiang Xian pointed to the bench not far away and proposed.

Jun Yao nodded, and the two walked over together.

Ai Yu counted the time and walked in the direction of Annie's house, and when she arrived at her door, it was exactly 10:28, leaving two minutes to prepare. So Ai Yu tidied up her clothes, watched the hands on the clock go vertically, she raised her foot and stepped on the gray stone steps, and rang the doorbell.

"Who?" The man seemed to be busy packing up something, and his voice came intermittently from the communicator, "Slightly...... Wait a minute......"

Ai Yu answered, and saw the man walking quickly in the direction of the gate through the transparent window, so she raised a polite smile and bowed lightly the moment the door opened, "I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm Ai Yu, a member of the WDA who met with you this morning." ”

The man obviously didn't expect that the person he met when he opened the door would be Ai Yu, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know how to react, Ai Yu got up after bowing, and didn't expect the man to react, but she looked up and saw that the man was stunned, so she said, "Mr. William?" ”

"Sorry, hello." William came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to Ai Yu to say hello, and Ai Yu immediately stretched out his hand to return the salute, "I came here to disturb because I wanted to ask you about something." ”

"Anything else? Isn't the question already asked at the Yongxing Grand Theater? When William said this, his eyes glanced behind him, as if to confirm something, Ai Yu naturally noticed his small action, and her intuition told her that the thing William was just packing up might be something related to the task, and this thing was very important, he didn't want to let himself see it, or rather, he didn't want anyone to see it.

So Ai Yu smiled, "After we left the Yongxing Grand Theater, we went to other parts of the town to check the situation, confirmed some things, and then deduced a clue, which may have a great connection with the disappearance of the children. Isn't that relatively close to your home? In addition, you have just encountered such a thing, and you are anxious, Anne has just disappeared, and if the clues you provide are useful, you may be able to find Anne back. ”

When William heard Ai Yu's words, his eyes lit up, he reached out and grabbed Ai Yu's shoulder, and asked anxiously, "What kind of clue is it?" ”

Ai Yu looked down at William grabbing his shoulders and taking a step back without leaving a trace, William also realized that his behavior was a little abrupt, and smiled wryly, Ai Yu stretched out his hand and pointed behind him at this time, "It's not a way to stand outside, right?" Shall we go in and talk? ”

William looked back at the living room, looking a little embarrassed and hesitant, "This ......"

"Mr. William, this is a matter of Anne's life, we are now in a race against time, if we can go faster, won't Anne have more hope to be found?" Ai Yu stepped up her attack, "Don't you want your lovely daughter back?" Or do you love her more than that? ”

When William heard this, he frowned, he was originally very hesitant, but because of Ai Yu's agitation, he became firm, he raised his hand to support the door frame, as if to stop Ai Yu, "I'm cleaning up my things, it's too messy inside, and it's a bit embarrassing to invite guests in the door to see such a scene, so please talk in the garden." ”

Ai Yu was stunned for a moment, what's going on? How did William suddenly change his mind? Obviously, I will be able to enter the room immediately, and I am close to the door!

Ai Yu was about to open her mouth to try again, but at this time, her eyes suddenly turned black and white, she looked at this familiar scene in surprise, and then the system's prompt came.

[Dream Traveler Shen Junyao has triggered the mission reset]

[Please choose whether to file at the same time, this choice does not cost a limit on the number of times]

【Yes or No】

Jun Yao triggered the mission reset? What's going on? Ai Yu was confused by the sudden system prompt, and she found that the scene in front of her had become a black and white silent movie, and William's somewhat eerie expression was frozen and looked particularly scary. She carefully read the information displayed on the page again, hesitated for a moment, and clicked "Yes".

She wanted to know what William was hiding in the living room, even if he didn't file it, William's current situation might lead to the failure of the mission, and it would be better to waste one more opportunity to just file it here and start again.

Jun Yao found herself standing at Alex's door again, this moment came too suddenly, she remembered that she had clearly talked to that lady and said well, how could this be?

You have triggered a mission reset

[Mission Point: Alex's House Closed]

Alex's house is closed? What do you mean? Jun Yao stared at the system page in a daze for a minute, and then reached out to press the communicator in front of Alex's house again, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Can't touch it?

Jun Yao reacted to what was going on.

Alex's house is the wrong place for the mission, and if a Dream Traveler chooses to come, there will be only one ending in what they say or do - failure.

Jun Yao remembered the conversation she had just had with Mrs. Alex.

"You're the girl who came that day, I remember you." Mrs. Alex smiled and opened the door, and kindly invited her to sit down, and Jun Yao respectfully obeyed, so she sat on the sofa and waited for Mrs. Alex to come out of the kitchen. She carried a plate with a teapot and teacups, and a plate of small biscuits in it.

"I've heard that there have been a few more disappearances in the town, and it's really not easy for you......" Mrs. Alex squatted down and was about to pour tea for Jun Yao, Jun Yao stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't bother Madame, I'll just eat some biscuits." ”

Mrs. Alex was distracted for a moment, her hand holding the teapot stopped in mid-air, and she didn't know what to do for a while, but fortunately, Jun Yao found the steps for her, "Ah, this tea is a little hot, then put it here to cool down, this biscuit is baked by me, you taste it." ”

There must be no problem with cookies, Jun Yao can be sure, so she didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of biscuit and take a bite, the fluffy feeling, the thick milky flavor, she couldn't help but swallow it in one bite, and nodded, "It's delicious!" ”

"If you like it." Mrs. Alex also smiled, she sat on the sofa and looked at Jun Yao, "So what are you doing here today?" The last time I visited, didn't I already ask everything I should have asked? ”

"Well, after two days of investigation, we got some new clues, and we suspect that this is related to the disappearance of the children. However, this is only a suspicion after all, so I want to ask you to verify it, and if Alex is in this situation, it can be considered a valid inference. Jun Yao explained.

"Hmm...... What kind of clue is that? Mrs. Alex nodded, waiting for Jun Yao to continue.

That's what it means to cooperate, right?

However, this Mrs. Alex is really too cooperative, if it weren't for her meticulous answer, it is estimated that Jun Yao would not have discovered her abnormality. Sure enough, things must be reversed!

"I remember you said about puppets before, and what we want to know is also about puppets." Jun Yao told the clue, and Mrs. Alex's face was unnatural for a moment, which was accurately captured by Jun Yao, so she was secretly happy, it seemed that there was a play.

"Puppets, there is a thing. What exactly do you want to know about puppetry? Mrs. Alex hesitated and replied.

"If you can, tell me everything you know."

Mrs. Alex suddenly laughed, she stood up, she walked in the direction of the window, Jun Yao saw her like this, thought it was a preparation to reveal the secret, so she sat up a little straighter, waiting for the next story, who knew that Mrs. Alex was standing by the window, but suddenly stopped.

She chuckled lowly, but for some reason the smile changed, and it sounded very eerie, "Why do you think I'm going to tell you?" ”

Time stood still at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, Jun Yao returned to Alex's door.

Alex's mission is locked, so we can only hope that everyone else can get the news.

Just when Jun Yao was holding such thoughts, the system prompt sounded again.

[Special Missions 1-2 Completed]

[Special Quest 1-3: Listen to the old carpenter Jack and get information about the puppets from the townspeople, so put them together to form a complete story.] 】
