After the pirate boss returns to the infinite weird tale verse 219
"This guest, it's not appropriate to use an open flame for my family." Mrs. Xu reminded behind her.
The paper man was jealous, and Qi Ji almost ignored this.
"I'm very sorry," Qi Yan immediately re-grasped the matchbox and proposed to Mrs. Xu Minxin, who was taken aback, "If you can trust me, I can help you burn this ominous poster." β
Mrs. Xu Minxin hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the crumpled poster to Qi Yan's hand, and bowed slightly at him.
Qi Yan only glanced at it, and did not delay much, and quickly lit the poster, which symbolized misfortune, with a match.
The words ""Colorful Years, Walking with the Stars" Children's Star-making Project 79th Performance Recruitment Notice" were illuminated and swallowed by the firelight, and finally turned into ashes and dissipated in the dim morning of the new year.
The smell of burning paper was in the wind, the air was humid and cloudy, and a heavy snow was brewing.
This burning smell reminded Qi Zhen of last night's dream, and the paper money burned in front of the idol in the dream also had the same smell.
It is as if everything has settled, but a new crisis is surging under the calm.
[Congratulations, you have fulfilled the last wish of the two sisters, Duoxi and Duole, and helped them burn the poster symbolizing the ominous symbol, believing that everything will be a new beginning]
[At present, all the plots of "Duoxi and Duole" have surfaced, and the unlocking degree of the branch quest has reached 100%]
[Successfully unlock the side quest to get rewards: "Duoxi Identity Card" item access *1, [Duole Identity Card" item access *1]
[Toxi/Tole Identity Card Instructions: The special props in the dungeon, you can get the identity and privileges of the character after binding, and you can uninstall it at any time after binding, and you cannot bind it with other identity cards repeatedly (if you bind it repeatedly, only the latest bound identity card will be recognized), and the identity card can be transferred between travelers]
I see.
The moment they obtained the identity card, Qi Zhen understood that according to their previous inference, the main task of the copy was to help Mrs. Xu fulfill her wish and help her family return home before the fifteenth year of the year.
But the most tricky thing about this dungeon is that the price of reunion is the death of the player.
For every player who dies, a family member will go home as a paper man, and this dungeon mechanism will lead players to form a camp in order to complete the main quest, and kill each other after figuring out the specific rules of the dungeon and Mrs. Xu's family, so that the other party will become the head in exchange for the return of the family.
However, there is a fatal risk that if Mrs. Xu's family is larger than the number of players, it will be a death game for all players.
But in fact, there is another safer and more efficient solution for this copy: get the identity card and change from the identity of the guest to Mrs. Xu's family.
It's a lot more fun than cannibalistic faction warfare between players.
"Xiao Nian, do you want to be Mrs. Xu's 'granddaughter'?" Qi Jiu asked Qi Xiaonian in a half-joking tone.
Qi Xiaonian was slightly stunned: "What? β
In the next second, there was a prompt sound from his system-
[Do you accept the props from the traveler Qi Yan: "Tole Identity Card" prop access *1]
Qi Xiaonian's eyes widened and he looked at Qi Yan incredulously: "Brother, what is this prop you gave me..."
Qi Yan shrugged: "From a guest to a family's pass." β
Qi Xiaonian choked, he was stunned for a full five seconds, and then gradually tasted the true meaning behind Qi Yan's words-
The pass from guest to family means ...... Players can "go home" in place of Mrs. Xu's deceased family!
Qi Xiaonian subconsciously took a deep look at Qi Yan, although he had experienced the copy of "Exile No. 1", he already had some understanding of Qi Yan's ability, but this time, when all players were still trapped by the taboo and confused by the smoke bomb of "cannibalism", Qi Yan could not only find a way to complete the task and avoid the taboo in the shortest possible time, but also sort out the internal logic of the copy in the process of carrying out the task, and immediately find the corresponding countermeasures and put them into action.
With such a clear and smooth way of thinking and calm way of doing things, it is difficult for even a big guy like Li Beizheng to do it, let alone a new player like Qi Zheng who has only passed four books......
Yes, his brother is still in the category of new players, but he always finds the true logical core of the dungeon by surprise.
"Brother, thank you." Qi Xiaonian understood Qi Jiu's intentions, and didn't say much nonsense, and received the identity card given by Qi Jiu.
Qi Yan smiled: "You're welcome, it's also a good experience for us to change from brothers to 'sisters'." β
As he spoke, he also clicked on his system interface-
"Enable the "Duoxi Identity Card" permission."
γDing! The permission props have been equipped, and your identity has now changed: Mrs. Xu's guest βMrs. Xu's granddaughter is happy]
[After the status change, you will have the treatment of Mrs. Xu's family, and you can also stay in the room of the corresponding status, and have the privileges of this status]
At this moment, Qi Yan also understood the meaning of last night's hint:
- "Because we should have a similar blood in our veins. β
According to the mastered plot development, it is speculated that the character of that guy is also one of Mrs. Xu's family.
And only when you get the corresponding identity card can you become his family, and only then can he be regarded as flowing with "similar blood".
Everything can be rounded.
Qi Xiaonian also used the identity of "Duole", the brothers looked at each other and smiled, Qi Zhen sighed: "It's really good to get an identity, but what about a male granddaughter..."
Qi Xiaonian: "......"
"Duoxi, Duole, I knew that you would definitely go home, and your mother would make the right choice."
Mrs. Xu stood up from the stool, she looked at Qi Xiaonian and Qi Yan who had activated the identity card with loving eyes, held their hands one left and one right, and her expression was full of tenderness and nostalgia, "Come, sit down and watch the show, you usually always talk about watching circus performances, isn't it?" On the first day of the new year, the circus came to perform for us, which is a good sign, and according to my guests, it is still a very famous circus..."
Qi Xiaonian and Qi Yan glanced at each other and sat beside Mrs. Xu respectively.
Qi Xiaonian was still a little awkward to be regarded as a "granddaughter", and when he sat down, he didn't know how to put his legs, and he was even a little restless.
Qi Ji was much more natural, and he even took the initiative to ask Mrs. Xu affectionately: "Grandma, is the circus performing a lion dance?" β
Mrs. Xu: "Yes, it's different from the traditional lion dance we've seen before, it's a very unique performance." β
Qi Yan let out a faint "oh" and continued to ask: "By the way, grandma, who else did the people who went home last night besides Nian Nian's aunt?" β
So far, Qi Ji has not figured out why Mrs. Xu is afraid of the second paper man who comes back, and since she is now Mrs. Xu's "granddaughter" status, she can't waste the perfect opportunity to ask.
Facing the two "little granddaughters", Mrs. Xu's voice was much softer than usual: "Your parents, as well as your aunts." β
Qi Yan asked further: "I counted it, in addition to my parents, aunts, and aunts, there seems to be another person, right?" β
He believes that according to Mrs. Xu's love for her granddaughter, she will forgive him for his "childish words".
That's where the privilege of the ID card comes in.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu's expression sank slightly-
Chapter 202: Year (21)
"Really? Is there such a thing? Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes stiffly, raised her hand and rubbed her temples and sighed, "I'm old and I can't remember it clearly, but it doesn't matter, you and Duole can go home safely for the New Year, and your parents are also there, this is the best." β
Qi Jiu: "......"
It seems that Mrs. Xu did not intend to mention that person to her precious "granddaughter", so she deliberately blurred the topic.
Mrs. Xu, who diverted the topic, suddenly asked, "By the way, you two haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" I'm going to heat up the rice cakes in the morning and bring them to you to eat, so that you won't be delayed to see the next circus performance. β
Qi Jiu's expression was slightly stiff, the rice cake was not easy to digest, and now his stomach was still a little topped, he smiled embarrassedly: "Grandma, we have breakfast." β
Just now, Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian ate rice cakes as guests, so in Mrs. Xu's eyes, they did not eat New Year's breakfast as "Duoxi and Duole" now.
Mrs. Xu didn't believe it, and said to herself: "Nonsense, you have just come home, and you have been in the dust all the way, where can you have breakfast?" It's not good for children to skip breakfast, don't believe what the program team said about keeping in shape, it's good to look good with a little meat. β
Qi Jiu: "......"
Mrs. Xu rubbed her stiff waist, got up with a smile and went to the kitchen to heat the rice cakes: "It's just right, I also need to move my body and bones after sitting for a long time, you must be hungry outside, right?" Listen to Aunt Chen, who you sent you to, the program group's boxed lunch soup is low in water, you must be hungry, right? You can tell me what you want to eat at night, I bought a lot of dishes a few years ago......"
Mrs. Xu muttered complacently as she walked towards the kitchen, her movements not at all like that of an old woman.
Three minutes later, Mrs. Xu brought two hot rice cake soups to Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian: "Children need to eat rice cakes on the first day of the new year to grow taller." β
Qi Yan, who is 1.83 meters tall, and Qi Xiaonian, who is 1.78 meters tall, looked at each other helplessly: "......"
Under Mrs. Xu's smiling gaze, the two had to bite the bullet and eat another bowl of rice cake soup belonging to the "granddaughter".
While reluctantly eating rice cakes, Qi Yan used his status privilege to continue to ask Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, why doesn't my aunt go downstairs to watch the show with us?" β
My aunt was referring to the paper figure Nian Nian who lived in 502, and from the beginning of the performance to the present, there has been no movement in room 502.
Mrs. Xu: "Your aunt is not in good health, she likes to stay by herself, and she never goes to a lively place. β
Qi Ji said tentatively: "Then when the performance is over, can I go to my aunt to play?" β
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu's expression changed slightly, and she said perfunctorily: "Have you forgotten your parents' advice?" Children should not go to play with their aunt, you are too noisy, and entertaining you is very exhausting for my aunt who needs to recuperate, and it is not conducive to her recovery. β
Qi Ji made an unhappy look: "Then can't we make trouble?" β
Mrs. Xu was unmoved: "Good, you have to be obedient, don't forget that it is not appropriate to visit the house today, and you will honestly go back to your room after the performance." β
At this time, Mrs. Xu can be regarded as remembering the taboo on the old yellow calendar, and she has a completely different attitude from the treatment of guests just now.
Sure enough, the family has privileges that the guests do not have, and Mrs. Xu does not need to let her family violate the taboos.
"Okay..."Although I couldn't go to 502 to find out, I finally unlocked a new map of the two sisters' bedrooms.
Qi Zhen's mind turned, and he grabbed the key information and continued to probe, "Grandma, what kind of disease does my aunt have, why hasn't she been getting better?" β
From Mrs. Xu's words just now, Qi Yan deduced that Nian Nian was suffering from a chronic disease, which required perennial recuperation and was difficult to heal.
He thinks it has something to do with the worship of God in last night's dream, and it is unknown why he can't let the younger generation see her.
Mrs. Xu didn't want to talk about it: "Children don't ask about the situation of their elders, besides, it's not an auspicious thing to say 'illness' during the Chinese New Year, the performance is about to start, so concentrate on watching the performance." β
Mrs. Xu has already said this, and it is difficult for Qi to continue to ask, so she can only find clues from the follow-up plot progress.
At present, there are two things that Qi Ji is very concerned about:
First, what is the situation on this side of the paper man's thoughts, is it related to worshipping God when she is recuperating from illness all the year round and can't let her juniors go to her room?
Second, what is the identity of the paper man that Mrs. Xu is afraid of? Which room does it stay in?
Qi Zhen had a hunch that the worship god in the dream was related to the role of that guy.
And the paper man has a moment of thinking about it, and he reacts to his appearance, which is the best proof.
The second half of the show has begun.
Mr. Trainer jumped on the central stake and bowed to the audience, then he danced smoothly between the stakes and captured the attention of the audience and the lion with an elegant and dramatic dance.
When the lion's eyes were fixed on the trainer, the trainer immediately took out a piece of jerky from the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, he knew the attraction of this piece of jerky to his old companion, and the lion also knew that this was the most tempting signal at the beginning of the performance, and he began to bend down and let out a suppressed roar, and his tail wagged from side to side, revealing a salivating look.
But it is a stage-savvy lion that, though fascinated by the jerky in the hands of the trainer, is not dominated by his most primitive desires, but is trained to spin around a stake, looking for the best angle to jump for the tempting reward.
The trainer knew what his old companion was thinking, and as he cast his gaze at the lion, he pointed to one of the stakes with his drumstick. The lion was already familiar with the trainer's body language, and when instructed to do so, it began to prepare for the final jump.
In the end, the animal trainer threw the jerky at the lion with a neat movement, the lion's pupils shrank suddenly, the leg muscles contracted rapidly, and the meat block fell with amazing explosive force to accurately lock the coordinates of the fall of the meat block, and obtain his own reward with a vigorous and graceful attitude, the whole process was smooth and exciting, and Mrs. Xu and her paper family applauded.
