The sun gradually set, and Bai Xing stood with Xu Dao in the Chenghuang Temple with candy in her hand.
As the fat boss said, the City God's Temple in this city is not too big, with only one floor. There are some Buddha statues enshrined in the temple. The two of them decided to spend the night here.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and they don't have much time. So far, they haven't met other players, and they can't tell whether they are the only two players in this game.
At this time, an exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the game panel, and Bai Xing clicked on it.
[The player triggered the space-time mirror fragment, and the space-time mirror fragment function is unlocked]
[The time-space mirror can only unlock the past of triggered clues]
[The past cannot be changed]
It was such a meaningless sentence, but after Bai Xing recalled their actions, he could basically conclude that it was triggered by other players. With just three words, he didn't know how to use this fragment.
Suddenly, her eyes went dark, and when she opened them again, she was still in the Chenghuang Temple. She and Xu Dao looked at each other, a little confused. At this time, the voices of several children suddenly came from outside the temple.
"It's getting late, let's go back!"
"Let's play one more game. It's hard to come out and play again."
"It's just that I have to do my homework again when I go back. I hate homework so much."
"You just like to eat. What else do you like besides eating?"
Several children laughed and made a fuss, and discussed playing the last game.
Bai Xing saw one of the children, who was white and fat, much like today's fat boss. The two children avoided each other, leaving the one in the middle wearing a blue coat covering his eyes, turning his back to them and counting down in his mouth. number.
They seemed to be invisible to Bai Xing and Xu Dao. Bai Xing knew clearly that this was a piece of history, the real past presented by the fragments of the space-time mirror.
They followed the little fat man's point of view uncontrollably, watching him hide in a very remote puppy hole, then clean up the traces when he came out, and then rearrange the grass in front of the hole to cover himself perfectly.
No wonder those children were not found, Bai Xing's mouth twitched slightly.
"Why can't we leave?" Xu Dao frowned.
“Only the past that has triggered clues can be unlocked. It should be our conversation with the firecracker shop owner and the candy shop owner during the day, which triggered this past, but all we know is the past perspective of the candy shop owner, so we can only follow him. "Bai Xing said.
"Then why don't we read the story again? What's the use?"
"Not always."
Time gradually passed, and they also heard the small sound. Based on their speculation, it was probably the sound of struggling when they encountered danger.
After some time, it was already dark, and a tall and thin man came to this place. He was shrouded in darkness. They couldn't see the man's face clearly. The man looked around without looking too carefully. Coupled with the dark environment, the man didn't notice the little fat man hiding in the deserted dog hole and didn't dare to breathe, so he left cursing in a low voice.
Then after a while, the little fat man crawled out and ran home. The adults came out to search for him. Other families in the city were alarmed. The small town was lit up at night.
They watched as those people searched the City God's Temple carefully, but found nothing. Then, they were ejected from their memory.
When I came out again, it was already bright. I sighed, this game really treats the players like donkeys.
Resigned to his fate and stood up, ready to start a new day of struggle, a cautious voice sounded: "Excuse me, are you also players?"
"?!"
"?!"
The young man was suppressed to the ground by Xu Dao and could not move, but he struggled hard and his face turned pale: "No, let me go, I'm not a bad person, wuwuwu."
Bai Xing held her forehead and pulled Xu Dao. Only then did Xu Dao react and let go: "Sorry, I'm stressed."
The young man wanted to cry but had no tears.
After a round of self-introduction, Bai Xing learned that the young man's name was Song Cheng, and that he was the one who triggered the fragment of the space-time mirror yesterday. Then he found out about the past from the maid, and came to the City God's Temple today to see if he could find any clues.
"How did you trigger it?" Bai Xing was curious.
"When I was eating in the evening, I touched the bowl with my hand and it triggered it." Song Cheng's face was full of honesty and sincerity.
"?"
"?"
"That's it?" Xu Dao couldn't believe it. It was triggered so easily? Doesn’t that thing sound awesome? It should be hidden very well. Isn’t that what is written in novels?
"Yeah, hehe." Song Cheng said with a smile.
"What's your identity here?" Bai Xing thought of something and asked cautiously.
"Hmm," Song Cheng thought for a while, "It seems to be the son of the city lord."
Critical hits aggravate injuries, and silence breaks defenses.
The two of them had neither enough food nor warmth, so why did he appear to be the son of the city lord, enjoying a good life and drinking hot food, but at the same time he had no intention of triggering key props, and the comparison between people was so irritating. Is this the power of the European Emperor?
They shared the obtained information with Song Cheng. After listening to it, Song Cheng looked a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xing was keenly aware of his abnormality.
"I was at home yesterday and I seemed to hear my dad, ah, no, the city lord was communicating with another person. He called that person Ren Fanzi, so I was wondering if this could be a clue. It always feels quite suspicious. ." Song Cheng hesitated to speak, perhaps because he felt it was a bit outrageous, so he closed his mouth again.
The air was a little quiet, and Bai Xing sighed. There were so many flaws that he didn't know where to start.
"Did you hear what they said?"
"No, they seemed to be arguing, but it seemed that the person left soon."
"Why don't you go out and take a peek?" Bai Xing held her forehead, such a silly kid.
"The maids next to me refused to let me go. They had to hold me down and let me finish my meal before I was allowed to go out." Song Cheng burst into tears.
"Well, at least it provides us with a direction," Bai Xing comforted herself, and then looked serious, "But if that is really the murderer set by the system, it means that the city lord may also be involved in the missing child case." In fact, She basically believed that the man was the murderer. After all, under such a search, an ordinary person would not be able to hide or move the two children quickly. He must have helpers. Since the children have not been found in the small town for so many years, maybe they have already If he was transported out, then the city lord would be even more suspicious. After all, if he hadn't given permission, how could the prisoner have gotten away with it?
But there was another thing that was strange to her. She felt that although the little fat man returned home after a while, she did not think that the prisoner could move the two children away in such a short period of time. She was more inclined to , at least that night, the two lost children were still in the Chenghuang Temple.
So, she looked around, where did that person hide the child?
