Chapter 23: A Trip to the Hopeless Village (2)
As soon as they saw this face, Bai Xiaofan and Chu Tian were startled.
What kind of face is this, even more terrifying than the rakshasas of hell. I saw that all the facial features on this face were displaced, twisted and squeezed together, and I couldn't bear to look at it directly. This is not the end, the flesh on this face is black, yellow, and some parts are even rotten and pus.
Bai Xiaofan really couldn't understand how a good NPC could be set up like this, this was simply a kind of torture for others.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, he still had to take on the hidden mission, even if there was a dead man in front of him, he had to go forward and see it clearly.
Shaking his head helplessly, he had to raise his legs and walk forward.
When Chu Tian saw it, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Big brother, why are you going?" That guy isn't human, is he? You won't be in danger in the past, will you? ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan reluctantly smiled and said, "No matter what he is, I'm not even afraid of a flying centipede, am I still afraid of a weirdo?" ”
Chu Tian stared at that face again, and said with some disgust: "That strange person is also too ugly, and a little disgusting. Big brother, I'm ...... Can I stay here and wait for you? You don't know, I'm a timid person, and I guess I'll have nightmares at night when I see such a weirdo. ”
Bai Xiaofan smiled slightly: "It's okay, then you can stay here and wait for me." I'll go back as soon as I go! ”
With that, he continued to walk forward with his legs raised.
The treehouse in front of it was built on top of a towering tree, about three meters above the ground.
Bai Xiaofan walked to the tree alone, looked up, and then jumped up suddenly. But at a height of three meters, it was difficult for him.
Jumping onto the pedal in front of the treehouse, the face poking out of the doorway shrank back at the sight of him.
Bai Xiaofan didn't think much about it, and strode forward directly into the tree house.
As soon as he entered the house, a foul smell wafted into his nose, and he almost vomited on the spot.
Resisting the urge to repuls, he looked carefully into the treehouse.
The treehouse was small in size, ten square meters at most, and it was empty, except for a small table with miscellaneous items, and a leather bag hanging on the wall.
The man who had just seen them was now huddled in a corner of the treehouse, his head hanging down and his hair scattered, as if he was afraid of someone coming.
Bai Xiaofan looked at him for a while, and then asked, "Hello, are you a friend of the owner of the novice village pharmacy?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the strange man who was huddled in the corner raised his head suddenly, stared directly at Bai Xiaofan, and then said nervously: "You...... Are you really the person Boss Li found? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”
Boss Li? Bai Xiaofan really didn't know what the pharmacy owner's surname was, but guessed that the person this strange man was talking about should be the pharmacy owner.
"That's right, I'm the one he found. He said that you saw a painting on the night of your stay in Hopeless Village, and that the person in the painting told you what happened to her. If this is true, I am willing to help you. ”
When the strange man heard this, he immediately said urgently: "Are you really willing to help me?" Aren't you afraid of being sucked into the painting? Hopeless Village is terrifying, it's hell out there. Don't kill me, don't kill me...... Yes...... Ah......h
I don't know what kind of stimulation this strange person was under, one second he was still chatting at the end of the day, but the next second he was crying wolf.
Bai Xiaofan frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Don't kill you?" Who's going to kill you? Is it the man in the painting of Hopeless Village? ”
"No...... It's not them, they're all pathetic. The man who wants to kill me is a warlock, a demon. He has turned the villagers of Hopeless Village into dolls, and he wants to turn them into slaves forever. Fortunately, I escaped, otherwise, I would have been sucked into the painting, and I would never have been able to live forever. ”
Bai Xiaofan thought to himself for a while, and asked again, "Where is the person you are talking about now?" In the Hopeless Village? Could he be the painter who painted portraits of the villagers of Hopeless Village? ”
"I don't know, I don't know. What if you ...... If you want to go to Hopeless Village, don't go into the small temple at the east end of the village. It's the entrance to hell, and you must not go there. ”
Bai Xiaofan can't figure out whether the person in front of him is crazy or sober now, and Bai Xiaofan doesn't know whether to believe his words or not.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke again: "I came here to seek justice for the villagers of Hopeless Village. If that culprit is still in Hopeless Village, I will definitely bring him to justice. ”
As soon as these words came out, the strange man stood up suddenly. "Shaoxia, do you really want to take care of the affairs of Hopeless Village? Have you figured it out? ”
Bai Xiaofan said indifferently: "Since I'm here, I naturally want to take care of this idle matter." Trust me, I'll do my best. ”
The strange man looked at Bai Xiaofan in a daze, and suddenly said, "Take that bag, there is a map of Hopeless Village in it, and a key." The woman in the painting told me that the key could open a locked well in the village, and that there was a dragon in it. As long as the dragon is awakened, there is hope for Hopeless Village. Shaoxia, you should be more careful. ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then let's see you later." With that, he casually took off the leather bag hanging from the branches on the wall.
And the moment he took off his purse, a chime sounded.
"Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden quest to rescue Hopeless Village, the quest is limited to 24 hours, and the player's death or timeout will cause the quest to fail. Hurry up and hit the road! ”
It seems that even if the hidden task is accepted, Bai Xiaofan doesn't bother to ask why the weirdo has become like this, there are only twenty-four hours, and he has to act quickly.
Picking up his purse, he left the treehouse. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he jumped off the treehouse, the treehouse collapsed with a "bang".
I didn't see the strange man, so I guess he was buried under the rubble.
This should be the so-called game setting, and Bai Xiaofan doesn't need to pay too much attention to it. The hidden quest has been triggered, and it's time for him to officially enter Hopeless Village.
Seeing the tree house collapse with his own eyes, Chu Tian looked stunned, and when he saw Bai Xiaofan coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, why did the tree house collapse?" What about the weirdos in the treehouse? ”
Bai Xiaofan didn't explain too much, just replied, "Dust to dust, dust to dust!" ”
With that, he strode forward and headed straight for Hopeless Village.
As soon as he saw Bai Xiaofan leaving, Chu Tian immediately followed.
The two of them came to the north of Hopeless Village in less than ten minutes.
Bai Xiaofan glanced forward and directly raised his legs into the village.
But as soon as he entered the village, dark clouds began to cover the sky over the village, and a thick black fog spread throughout the village......
