"The townspeople aren't human, but there are so many traces of humanity here, with its distinctive architecture, its old facilities, and this inn."

She finally figured out where that abrupt feeling came from.

Before, she felt that something was wrong, it was obviously such an exclusive and closed town, and it was located on the vast sea, and no one came all year round, why was there a hotel?

At first, she thought that the game was specially made for players to live in, but as the game progressed, she felt that it was more than that.

Along with her being the only human NPC in town, it makes sense that the inn is unlikely to be just for the player.

The gradual deterioration of facilities is the result of a long period of unmaintained facilities, and when the townspeople no longer need these things, there is no need for maintenance.

"Another thing, this place ......," Su Nanzhi said, looking around, "no outsiders have come in for a long time, and if they killed people because they needed to hunt for food, they would have starved to death." ”

Halfway through the game, the player's common enemy is the monsters on the island, and Sunanzhi thinks that basic information sharing is not a problem.

The more players alive, the better it is to fish in troubled waters, on the contrary, the situation of the remaining people with fewer targets will definitely be more difficult.

"It used to be a normal town." Lu Yu was a little surprised.

The information is not difficult to guess, and it is rare for a novice player to be able to hide his identity and secretly find clues on his own.

"In addition to what you just said, there is another problem, there are more than 100 families in the town, but there is not a single old man and child in sight."

Lu Yu's words reminded Su Nanzhi that she was able to be adopted by the innkeeper and survive among the monsters until now because she was like the innkeeper's daughter who died of illness.

Her very existence is a hidden game message.

Regardless of whether the innkeeper's daughter died of illness or not, if the monster kills the townspeople and continues to live in the town in their form, then her identity as an NPC cannot exist, unless the monster retains the memories and emotions of humans after replacing the townspeople.

Su Nanzhi felt that it was unlikely.

"The townspeople used to be people." She's sure.

It wasn't known how long 'before' had been, she didn't know the timeline of the game world, and it couldn't have been too short just by looking at the old equipment in town and the luggage in the inn's utility room.

What the hell is going on in town that has turned everyone into a monster?

Lu Yu sat in front of the window, his fingers slightly on his knees, "Have you ever heard of a mermaid?" ”

"You mean the kind of story with long hair, a human body and a fishtail, and a beautiful look?" Su Nanzhi stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, shocked, "That's them?!" It's too ...... Chic. ”

The mermaid in the game world actually grew the other way around?

Lu Yu took out a yellowed old photo and put it on the table.

Compared to the photo that Su Nanzhi found in the utility room before, this one is not well preserved, and the dampness is very serious.

The photo was taken at the pier, where a fishing boat was docked with a dozen people standing next to it.

In the nets beneath their feet was a wounded humanoid creature that looked like a fish, covered in scales and with sharp fins on its elbows.

A thunderclap ran across the sky, and the rain hit the windows hard.

Su Nanzhi took the photo to the window and looked at the light carefully for a while before finally confirming one thing.
