Chapter 45: Clues
Although the puppet town is safe during the day, there are only seven players left, and there are still four players on their side, and they are always thinking about killing Xiao Zhimiao.
Xu Zhilan and Mu Yuan went to the bottom of the puppet town, and after walking down for a while, they saw Xiao Zhimiao coming out of one of the houses.
Xu Zhilan stepped forward, "Xiaozhi, what are you looking for?" ”
Xiao Zhimiao took out a painting about the basement that he had drawn separately and slapped it in Xu Zhilan's hand, "Now there is only one point left to find, and there are no clues, I will see if I can find something from the houses of these residents." ”
Xu Zhilan picked up Xiao Zhimiao's paintings and looked at them, and they were still the same as the previous pictures, which were stick figures, marking out important features.
"With so many houses, when will you find them?"
Xiao Zhimiao stood in place, turned around and looked up at the distribution of buildings in the puppet town.
Then he continued to look for a resident house, which had a doll that had fallen at the door, and Xiao Zhimiao almost stepped on it when he opened the door.
She had just opened the doors of several rooms, and there were usually one or two or more dolls in them, and they looked like a family.
And every room was unlocked, as if the puppets would come back often, and their clumsy movements could not do as delicate as locking, at most they could unscrew the door.
Xiao Zhimiao thought of this, stared at the doll for a while, and pulled a chair to sit down.
If these dolls can't even lock the door, then it's impossible to light the doll town every night.
So, who lights up the puppet town every night?
The only "person" in Doll Town is NPC Yuna, but she's so old that she walks slower than the dolls, not as good as these dolls.
There was an idea that gradually took shape in Xiao Zhimiao's mind.
Xiao Zhimiao stood up and looked inside and out of this room, she checked these rooms to see if these rooms with the same style were in the basement.
These houses are slightly different in size at best, but the general layout of the houses is the same, they all have an attic, but there is no basement.
After checking two more houses, Xiao Zhimiao and the three of them returned to the hotel.
The hotel was empty, Shen Mi and they were not in the hotel, they had not been seen outside just now, and they did not know where they had gone to find clues.
Xiao Zhimiao thought about it, according to the progress of her dungeon, the most important thing for her is to find the places where these dungeons directly gave clues, as long as she finds them one by one, and then finds some related props from the places she finds, and then triggers the plot.
The main quest of the dungeon is: [God's Flesh Puppet]
But the points she has found so far all point to side quests, which are hidden quests [Puppet Hearts].
Mo Ke and they were obviously the main line of direct action, because she hadn't seen them anywhere else in the past few days except at Bunian's house and the waterwheel.
There are so many dolls in the town, there must be one of them who is a god puppet, Xiao Zhimiao doesn't think they are so stupid, looking for them aimlessly one by one.
Xiao Zhimiao guessed that they should have some means, or what props they obtained, they could go directly to the god puppets without pushing the plot, so simple and rude without bothering brains.
After all, if their goals are the same, then they should be pushing the plot in these locations like her, and Mo Ke They won't know that they are looking for these locations, and when she drew the map that day, Mo Ke saw it.
Besides, those drawings and hints are in the corridor of the room where they live, and they pass by and look at them every day, and as a veteran player, they don't even have this kind of sensitivity to clues.
Mo Ke always wanted her to cooperate with them before, instead of choosing to join them, it seems that he wanted them to follow her way of clearing the customs, of course, it may also be that she wants to use some clue props in her hand, after all, one more clue to clear the customs is also prepared.
But time and energy only allow them to choose one way to clear the level.
Xiao Zhimiao remembered the NPC side plot that was triggered during the last crypt dungeon, although it was a side plot, it was actually closely related to the main story.
The side plot she is advancing now actually implies the main line, and the key information is in Bunian's log.
That passage tells the story of Secia and the evil puppeteer who came to the puppet town.
Xiao Zhimiao searched through the clues she had obtained so far in her mind, and in order to have the energy to deal with it at night, she was going to go back to her room to study Bunian's journal and then sleep.
After going up a few stairs, Xiao Zhimiao paused, looked at his feet and retreated, and walked towards the staircase where Yuna lived.
The hotel and church were the different buildings she had seen from the houses of the residents, the hotel was small, it could only accommodate twelve people, there was a kitchen, a utility room, and then this stairwell.
They had already looked at the kitchen and utility room, and this stairwell was left unsearched.
It's the NPC Yuna, who overlooks her importance because the system tells you that Yuna is just an NPC that receives players.
Since she gave a plot yesterday, Xiao Zhimiao didn't think that she was just a simple introduction NPC.
Xiao Zhimiao stood at the door of Yuna's room and pulled hard against the door, but the door was still locked inside.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhimiao knocked on the door a few times, but she didn't hear any movement inside, she continued to knock until she heard a voice coming from inside, and she didn't stop.
It took a minute for the door to open, revealing Yuna's old bark-like face.
She seemed very unhappy to be disturbed, and put on a calm face, "Is there something wrong with the guest?" ”
Yuna was hunched over, looking very short, she raised her head with some difficulty to look at Xiao Zhimiao, her white and cloudy eyes did not have a trace of brilliance and vitality.
"Oh, I just wanted to ask if I can buy dolls in town?" Xiao Zhimiao said, her eyes quickly observing Yuna's room.
Yuna heard Xiao Zhimiao say that she wanted to buy a doll, her voice suddenly rose, and there was a hint of anger, "Dolls are not for sale!" ”
Saying that, Yuna was about to close the door, but how could she, an elderly woman, compare to Xiao Zhimiao's strength, Xiao Zhimiao put her hand against the door, and Yuna didn't even pull the door.
Seeing that the door couldn't be closed, Yuna's fingernails holding the door began to lengthen, and her hunched figure began to slowly pull up.
At this moment, a hand reached out from behind Xiao Zhimiao, pulled her hand away from the door, and then quickly closed the door.
Xiao Zhimiao looked back, it was Mu Yuan.
"Don't touch her now, save until the end."
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the marks on the door that were scratched by Yuna's sharp long armor, and asked, "This Yuna, is an elite monster?" ”
Mu Yuan nodded, "There will basically be no NPCs in the dungeon that are completely human, but the trigger method is different." ”
Xiao Zhimiao thought of Moeller, who gave her a hard-stuffed side quest in the crypt dungeon, and later became a crypt monster because of the failure of the mission.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhimiao looked at Mu Yuan and asked him, "Did you also find out what she was guarding on?" ”
"Yes, there is a magic array in her room, and this magic array is the key to the hotel becoming a safe point, if we move her now, the magic array will disappear, and the hotel will no longer be a safe point."
Xiao Zhimiao said in his heart, so it seems that there will be a safety point in each dungeon, and the safety point protects the safety of the players and can isolate those dungeon monsters.
But these safety points are not safe all the time, and as the player's quest progresses, the safety points will no longer be safe, so Mu Yuan said that he would leave Yuna for the end to explore.
"They've got a clue to clear the customs." Mu Yuan said.
Mu Yuan said that they had no one else except Mo Ke.
Xiao Zhimiao: "You also know the clues, don't you?" ”
When Mu Yuan had just told her that Yuna was an elite monster and that he was going to save her for the end, Xiao Zhimiao knew that Mu Yuan already knew the clue to the clearance of the main quest [God's Body Doll].
He's been running out for the past few days, for the same purpose as her, just for the side quest [Puppet Heart].
The side quest of this [Puppet Heart] is much more complicated than the main story, first to know the entire story line, and then find the main character of the side story, Secia.
They had just visited the church, and Secia's heart was empty, and the puppet's heart had not known who had taken it.
It wouldn't be Mu Yuan, if he had already got it, he wouldn't have to let her wait until the evening to open the moonlight platform.
The only suspicious ones are Mo Ke, who and her two male teammates acted separately yesterday.
As soon as Yu An died, Xiao Zhimiao thought of the scene where they encountered a monster and came back injured yesterday, although Yu An touched the magic array and summoned a puppet monster that would only appear at night, but there may be other people who went to church.
Although Cessia's heart was taken, the side quest was not completed.
If the locations on these pictures they are looking for outside are the key to advancing the side quests, then these locations are interconnected, and the side quests are not complete if they don't find one location yet.
If you don't complete the task, you won't be able to get the reward.
But now that they have the clues to the main quest, they will soon try to clear the level. Regardless of whether they can actually clear the customs or not, at least there is a certain chance that they will clear the customs.
Xiao Zhimiao assumed that they could clear the dungeon.
Before the main quest is cleared, if the side quest is not completed, it will be directly overwritten, and she will not get the reward given by the side quest.
Although she is not particularly sure yet, she has already preliminarily determined that the reward for the Doll Heart mission is the Soul Orb.
She must get this soul orb.
"That basement, isn't it just below Yuna's room?"
Xiao Zhimiao directly asked Mu Yuan about his conjecture.
"I'm not sure, because I can't move Yuna yet."
