Chapter 19: Traditional Customs
Soon after Ren Dazhuang called, Su Lin saw a figure in the shadow walk out, making Bai Bing subconsciously take half a step closer to him.
When the man walked close to the entrance of the cave, with the help of the faint light after sunset, Su Lin could roughly see the silhouette of the other party, which was a young woman.
"Brother, who are these two?"
The woman's voice was soft, and it seemed to have a natural reverberation in the cave, with a strange penetrating power, as if it could penetrate the soul of a person.
While asking about the identities of Su Lin and Bai Bing, she fumbled and lit a candle, the faint light in the room was lit, and the last glimmer of light of the sun in the sky disappeared.
Su Lin and Bai Bing glanced at each other without a trace, obviously with a little doubt.
Because with the help of candles, they finally saw the woman's appearance clearly this time, which can be said to be incompatible with this isolated mountain village.
She was wearing a thin coarse cloth dress, which could not hide her beautiful appearance, her figure was slender and plump, her face was soft, her skin was fair and smooth, and she didn't look like a woman doing farm work in the wind and sun in the mountain village.
She looked at Su Lin with a pair of Danfeng eyes at this time, and the two met their gazes, and then staggered in an instant.
"This is my sister, Ren Mei'er."
Ren Dazhuang introduced, and introduced Su Lin and Bai Bing to his sister.
The 'cave' where Ren Dazhuang and the others lived was very spacious, and there were four separate rooms in it, one for him and one for Ren Meier.
Of the remaining two rooms, one is used as a storage room, and it is not clear what is stored in it Su Lin and Bai Bing, and the last room is the guest room for the two of them, and when they are eating, Ren Mei'er will clean it up.
After eating, Su Lin and Ren Dazhuang chatted briefly for a while, and learned about the customs and culture here, because it was getting late, and he was really tired, so he was ready to go back to the room.
When Su Lin got up, Ren Dazhuang said: "Brother Su, we really don't have any entertainment activities at night, but the tradition of our Wuji Village is hospitality, and today's hasty hospitality is not good, but there are still some traditional activities I want to invite you to participate, if you are interested, come out at the time, I will take you there, oh, it can only be Brother Su, you are here, brother and sister are not suitable to participate." β
"What traditional activity?"
Su Lin pretended to be a curious baby, but in fact, he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
He already knew that there was something wrong with this village, and he had just arrived for dinner, and the other party invited him to participate in some activity alone, mysterious and mysterious, no matter how you look at it, there are ghosts.
His main quest has been refreshed after arriving in Wuji Village, opening the final ring.
γMain Quest. Final Ring: Mountain Village Strange Story]
Mission: Investigate the truth about the disappearance of two travel company employees and the secrets hidden by the villagers, and live for at least 72 hours in the village.
Difficulty: Normal ~ Death
Reward: 3,000 mountain and sea coins, and you will be eligible to return after completing the task.
Failure Penalty: None
[Hint (Trials Dungeon only): Solve the dungeon hidden puzzle to open the hidden quest or get additional rewards.] γ
Just looking at the difficulty of the task, he knew that there were definitely strange creatures in Wuji Village that could kill him head-on, and the reason why the lower limit was average was because there was still Bai Bing.
Su Lin, who was solving puzzles and investigating something, felt that it was difficult for him, but this one who had survived for 72 hours meant that the possibility of them encountering a battle would increase over time, and it was difficult to avoid it.
Of course, if it works well, it may be possible to delay for three days, and then he can slip away directly after the task is completed.
But Su Lin paid more attention to that hint, which is the so-called copy hidden puzzle, hidden task or something, which he liked the most when he played the game.
The investigation team of the Demon Hunting Division is to find hidden ancient treasures in various places, and now the mountain and sea game reminds itself like this, which shows that this place is really not ordinary, and there must be something 'good' hidden.
Interesting...... You can't find this kind of exciting experience.
"We men like activities, I believe Brother Su will like them."
Ren Dazhuang made a you know how to make an expression to Su Lin.
Su Lin's expression was a little weird, and he also studied micro-expressions a little, not to mention that Ren Dazhuang's obscene appearance was similar to when his college roommate pulled him to 'study' together.
But the unnaturalness of his expression only lasted for a moment, and the next moment it turned into a knowing smile, "If you follow the customs, then I have to participate well." β
After making an agreement with Ren Dazhuang, he returned to the room, closed the heavy wooden door, and saw Bai Bing standing in front of the bed covered with old bedding, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Su Lin lowered his voice, even though he felt that if someone wanted to eavesdrop, this door would not be able to block it at all, unless he stuck it to Bai Bing's ear.
"There were people lying in this bed not long ago."
Bai Bing looked at the bedding on the bed with disgust, she had a slight cleanliness habit, and her sense of smell was still very sensitive.
"Is that them?"
Su Lin pouted outside the door.
Bai Bing shook his head, "I smell a little bit of men's perfume." β
"Don't worry, you're not those two, it's me who should be worried."
Su Lin walked to Bai Bing's side, speaking in a low tone.
His meaning was very clear, this bedding was the one where the missing person had been lying before, after all, the people in the village didn't use perfume, although he didn't know why Bai Bing could accurately smell this was a men's perfume, but he also ruled out the possibility of Ren Meier.
According to Ren Dazhuang's words, Ren Meier went out to work in the first two years, and she also mixed in the big city, which is considered to be more educated in their village, but it is difficult to live in the big city, and finally came back.
This village is still basically isolated, the roads are not repaired, the water and electricity are not connected, it is like a primitive small society, how can people in this kind of place use perfume?
The two missing travel company employees are both men, and it is normal for a little suffocation to wear a men's perfume, while the better perfume has a strong fragrance and may not completely dissipate for a week.
"What is he looking for you at night?"
Bai Bing searched for clues in the room, wanting to see if there were any remnants of missing people, and asked Su Lin, she was an alien spirit, and her hearing was naturally very good, because she had to consider Su Lin's safety, she had been paying attention to the situation outside.
"If you want to start, it shouldn't be so fast, I think he has other plans, anyway, we're here to investigate, so naturally we want to see."
Su Lin analyzed.
Bai Bing glanced at Su Lin, "It can't be an obscene activity, right?" And said that you men like it? I'm just being left out? β
Su Lin shrugged, "Who knows." β
Bai Bing glanced at the tired Su Lin, "You go on time, I will follow you." β
