Chapter 428: Another Side Quest

Jian Xiao sighed and resigned herself to the search at the convenience store.

She chose the order of indoor first, then outdoor, entered the convenience store, and started from the leftmost shelf, carefully and seriously looked at it.

The shelves are rich in stuff –

In the first row, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, soaps, laundry detergents, shower gels, sanitary napkins and other daily necessities.

In the second row, pencils, fountain pens, water-based pens, colored pencils, wax note pens, erasers, calculators, notebooks and other school supplies.

In the third row, there are farmer's fairy springs, wow wow mineral water, and a variety of drinks.

In the fourth row, snacks such as spicy strips, dried tofu, shredded squid, duck neck, marshmallows, hawthorn slices, etc.

In the fifth row, kitchen seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pepper, and chili noodles.

……

There are ten rows in total, and each row is a different kind of thing, and there is a lot of variety.

Jian Xiao originally thought that on the special task items, the program team would paste a logo or make a mark to make it convenient to give the guests a hint.

Unexpectedly, the dog program team is not a person, and there are no prompts.

From the outer packaging, those goods are exactly the same as those in the supermarket outside, forcing Jian Xiao to take the goods in her hands one by one and check them carefully.

Only when you really look at it in your hands can you notice that something is wrong.

For example, in the stationery area of the second row, there are several brand new notebooks, and the sides are painted with black water-based pens.

Of course, when the notebook is placed on the shelf, from the front, there is no problem at all, only when you hold the notebook in your hand and turn it over and over again, you can see the marks painted in black on the side.

Jian Xiao put a few notebooks together and concentrated on studying the black mark.

But after looking at it for a while, I found that I didn't have a clue, it had nothing to do with her leaf clues, and it had nothing to do with the Rubik's Cube clues.

Jian Xiao came to this judgment on a basis-

Her initial clue was a card with a leaf on it; In the second step of the chessboard endgame, there are also the same leaves on the trees in the yard; The jade pendant token I got was also in the shape of a leaf.

Based on this, she can infer that the same clue will have a clear sign for the guests to connect the clues.

Otherwise, 100 people have a hundred initial clues, and if there is no basis for distinguishing, it is easy to get confused.

Therefore, if she wants to advance to the next step of the Rubik's Cube, she must also find something related to the Rubik's Cube in order to determine that it is the right clue.

Soon, Jian Xiao put down her notebook and continued to search for other places.

It took her a long time to search every corner of the indoor shelves to make sure there weren't any clues about herself before she turned her eyes outside.

Outside are small stalls.

It's like a playground with different game facilities, with a series of challenges such as shooting games, ring games, etc., and as long as the challenges are successful, you can get prizes.

Jian Xiao concentrated on finding clues about "leaves".

At this time, two people walked together and came to the Imperial convenience store to see the number plates hanging on their chests, which were number 59 and 77.

When the two saw Jian Xiao, they stepped forward and tried to greet her.

Before they spoke, the two men looked at each other, as if they were conveying something with their eyes.

Jian Xiao took in everything, and a touch of vigilance surged in her heart, in this game that no one could believe in, all the subtle movements could be a sign of elimination.

Since she was on guard, Jian Xiao always paid attention to the two of them.

Number 59 said:

"No. 9, we have a side quest that needs to be cooperated, I wonder if you can join? If the side quest is completed, you will be rewarded according to the contribution rate. ”

It's been two days, and Jian Xiao hasn't triggered a single side quest.

It's just that in the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Investigation Team before, someone set off on a side mission to find a traitor, which also required cooperation, but there was no mention of rewards.

Then, the reward in the mouth of No. 59 is very intriguing.

Jian Xiao remained silent and asked:

"What side quest?"

"Looking for a mole." Number 59 said, "We need three people to break through the level, and as long as we succeed, we can get clues about the mole." ”

Number 77 then explained:

"The camps of the three of us may be different, but the clues of the traitor are universal."

"Knowing who the traitor is, it is possible that we can get an ally lurking in the other camp, and it is also possible that we can find out the spies in our own camp."

"So, I think we need to cooperate, what do you think about the 9th?"

Jian Xiao: ......

She now fully suspects that this game is being played against her.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that she met two people who triggered the side quest in a row, all looking for a mole.

And she herself is a traitor.

What she is more skeptical now is whether there is only one side quest in the whole field.

Otherwise, why did the last side quest to find the traitor require three people to complete the level, and this time it was the same?

The audience in front of the screen was delighted:

- Hahaha Sister Xiao was invited to find a mole every time, but the mole turned out to be herself!

- Sister Xiao, you're here, I haven't seen a few side quests triggered in the past two days, and you've met two of them alone!

- If you don't cooperate with the people of the investigation team, you can cooperate with these two people! They don't know each other's camps, but they don't have any concerns!

β€”β€”Sit back and wait for Sister Xiao's choice!

……

Jian Xiao was really considering whether to agree.

As the audience on the barrage said, she didn't agree at the headquarters of the investigation team before, because everyone was almost certain to be in the same camp.

Among the six people at that time, she was not sure if there were any other moles besides herself, but the number of moles should be a minority.

If a clue to the mole is found, players in the same camp are very likely to unite.

But now it's different.

No. 59 and No. 77 may not be in the same camp, and the chances of operating in this are much greater, even if they are in the same camp, just two people, Jian Xiao has a way to solve it.

The Imperial convenience store will not run here, and the clues will not be taken by others.

But side quests are hard to come by, and she also wants to know what the so-called mole clues are and whether they will point to her.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiao nodded:

"Okay, I'll go with you on a side quest, where are you going now?"

"We have a map here." Number 59 said, "We must first go back to the location where the side quest was triggered, and then follow the prompts on the map to find the location of the level." ”

"Let's go, then." Jian Xiao was very refreshing.

Led by No. 59, the three of them went all the way to unfamiliar places.

Jian Xiao found that the road she had traveled at this time was something she had never set foot on, let alone explored.

So, she took the Imperial Capital convenience store as a starting point and recorded the road and supplemented it with the map she had drawn earlier.

By the time the three of them reached their destination, her map had been somewhat improved.

The place where the side quest is triggered on 59 is a low house, and when you push the door in, it looks like a private house, and it is not rich.

The furniture in the house is very old, and there are not many things.

It can only be seen from some details that a family of three lives here, such as the cigarette on the table, the cross-stitch in the frame, and the children's toys on the floor, representing men, women and children.

"That's where I triggered the side quest." Number 59 spoke.
