"These people are so noisy! Are they discussing us?" Xiao Xiaobin said impatiently.
Wen Sengyu observed the expressions of these people and did not pay attention to their table, so he replied: "Probably not. I'll go get the seasoning and listen."
At the snack table, Wen Sengyu deliberately took it very slowly and observed the expressions of the people around him. Most of these people did not look like people in the real world, and looked more like NPCs from the tone of their voices.
"Hey, have you heard that the old man King Neptune died in the hotel two days ago!"
"No way? How could he die if he is so skilled?"
"No one said it was a homicide. They all said the hotel was haunted!"
The guests at the table next to the snack table were discussing this incident. It seemed that most of the noisy atmosphere they heard when they came in was affected by this incident.
"The hotel is haunted? I'm going to die laughing, your whole Wuzi Town should be haunted!" Wen Sengyu complained in his heart.
But he immediately realized that the dead person was Old Man Wang? Is it the old man Wang they are going to find later?
After taking the ingredients, Wen Sengyu immediately returned to the dining table and told everyone about the incident: "It seems something happened. I just heard them say that Old Man Wang is dead."
Wan Qian's eyes immediately widened, and Bian Han on the side couldn't restrain his emotions and asked excitedly: "Old Man Wang? Is this the Old Man Wang we are going to find later?"
"It should be, I just heard words like "Hai", it's probably him." Wen Sengyu sighed after finishing speaking.
"Damn it! How could the NPC die? Someone must have done it on purpose."
After Bian Han said this, Wan Qian glanced at him, because it would be difficult for people who have not experienced the reincarnation realm more than five times to understand this phenomenon. Wan Qian only discovered this in the sixth-level reincarnation realm. , or even worse, even if the NPC is fooled, it will be resurrected immediately and continue to guide everyone, not to mention being a very effective NPC.
Thinking of this, Wan Qian asked tentatively: "Is this Old Man Wang not the person we are looking for?"
"It shouldn't be. According to the clues we got before, he should be right." Bian Han said this sentence almost without thinking.
"Please use your shabu-shabu slowly. The waiter brought two plates of meat and put them on their table."
Xiao Xiaobin saw the waiter coming and stopped him, and then asked: "Hey, handsome guy, I heard that Mr. Wang from West Street is dead, right?"
The waiter's tired face immediately showed a gossipy smile, just like people in the real world: "Have you heard about it too? I just heard about it. It's in the hotel opposite. I heard that he was killed by a ghost. !”
Xiao Xiaobin also showed a gossipy look and continued to ask: "Real or false?! Do you know when he died?"
Wen Sengyu felt very sick when he saw Xiao Xiaobin's face, because he acted very artificial, but he also won the favor of the waiter.
"It seems to have been two days ago. I can't remember the details, but I heard that more than 10 foreign tourists died that day. Oh, yes! They are the people who came with you." The waiter said with great interest.
"Did you just say that he was killed by a ghost?" Xiao Xiaobin continued to ask.
When the waiter heard this, he bent down and covered his mouth and whispered to them: "Don't tell others, I tell you, our Wuzi Town has bad feng shui, but we have never had any of our own people die. Although those outsiders all died very badly." It’s strange, but no one in the town cares about it. This time it’s different, Old Man Wang is one of our own, so everyone is paying special attention.”
"Xiao Li, what are you doing there? Come over and serve the food!" Someone in the distance greeted him.
The waiter hurriedly straightened up and walked over. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "I'm going to work first. Don't say it was me who said that!"
After the waiter left, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Everyone was seriously thinking about the logic of this matter, although as the old saying goes, you can't look at logic in the realm of reincarnation.
After a while, Wen Sengyu suddenly thought of something and said to everyone: "I suddenly remembered something! Do you still remember that 13 of us died that day?"
"Remember, we went to find out what happened." Hua Mulin said.
Wen Sengyu leaned forward slightly, and then said seriously: "Why is it an odd number? The people who died that day were all in pairs, and all the people who lived there escaped, so the 13th person It’s Old Man Wang!”
After Wen Sengyu said this, everyone suddenly realized.
Indeed, according to the death rules for that day, the death condition will only be triggered when two people fall asleep, and those who lived in a single room escaped, so the number of deaths must be an even number, but 13 people happened to die that day. There is only one possibility, and that is that the 13th person is someone outside the real world.
"But this can only prove that Mr. Wang died that day. What else can it mean?" Xiao Xiaobin asked.
Wen Sengyu raised his eyebrows and said: "It means there is something very important that Old Man Wang needs to do that day. This matter is so important that he would rather break the lunch break rule and risk his life to carry it out!"
But Wen Sengyu didn't give an answer after saying this. It was all his own guess.
As for what this important thing is, they have no way of knowing now.
"Let's go to his house and have a look later. Maybe there are any clues." Wen Sengyu said.
They finished the dinner as quickly as possible, and then rushed to Old Man Wang's house.
As soon as he walked to the door of his house, Wen Sengyu saw a wreath standing there, and there was no writing on it who left it.
"This old man is indeed as difficult to get along with as everyone said. He doesn't even have anyone to send wreaths to him~" Wan Qian complained.
"Respect the dead." Hua Mulin said.
As soon as they were about to go in, they were stopped by a girl.
"Are you also here to ask for something from my dad? Please stay!" The girl's attitude was very unfriendly. It seemed that several groups of people had already arrived in advance.
"Little sister, we are not here to ask for things, but to return things!" Wan Qian brought out her trump card for communication - the method of seemingly sincerity!
"Return something? Return what?" The girl looked at Wan Qian doubtfully.
Wan Qian glanced at Wen Sengyu and motioned for him to take the pocket in his hand.
After Wan Qian took the bag, he opened it and let the girl take a look, and then the girl showed a surprised look.
"This...is this what dad asked you to find?" The girl seemed a little moved when she saw the head, but she still kept a cautious expression.
Wan Qian saw that the girl was a little shaken and continued: "Yes, your father hired us to find these materials, but on the way back I heard that he had an accident."
The girl was heard crying in sadness, but the others had no idea what she was crying about.
"You guys come in first." The girl waved to them to enter the house, then turned around and closed the door tightly, and even locked three locks.
Wen Sengyu and the others followed the girl to the hall of the house. It was a very quaint room with simple decoration, which could be considered simple. It was obvious that Old Man Wang lived a simple life during his lifetime.
"You guys wait here for a moment." After saying this, the girl turned and walked into the room.
About 5 minutes later, the girl came back with a beautiful wooden box.
Wen Sengyu guessed that there should be a third material inside.
Sure enough, when they opened the box, they saw a seemingly ordinary stone.
Wen Sengyu touched the stone and said, "Is this the reef?"
The girl nodded, and then said: "This is the last rock left by my father. He said this thing is very precious. He will not give it to anyone, but will only leave it to me."
Wen Sengyu didn't understand what the girl meant, so he asked, "Then why did you take it out?"
The girl glanced at Wen Sengyu and asked doubtfully, "Don't you know what this thing is used for?"
"We know, it's used to make lollipops." Wen Sengyu replied.
"Yes, then don't you know what lollipops are used for?" the girl continued to ask.
Wan Qian interrupted Wen Sengyu first this time, and then said innocently: "I don't know, your father only asked us to get the materials back and didn't tell us anything else."
The girl choked up again when she heard this. After a few seconds, she explained to everyone: "Dad told me before that lollipops are the only thing that can make adult women in Wuzi Town pregnant, but the materials for this thing are very difficult to assemble. , no one has successfully obtained these materials.”
Hearing this, Wen Sengyu let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't say that he was going to choose a child, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
"But your father has passed away. Do you know how to make lollipops?" Xiao Xiaobin asked from the side.
The girl nodded and said, "Well, my father taught me before he was alive, especially the part about retaining mucus. He emphasized it to me many times."
Hearing this, the group of them looked at each other in tacit understanding. Each of them was thinking that the lollipop could at least be made, and they were one step closer to the hope of going out.
"Then let's start, don't delay dad's hope." Hua Mulin said anxiously.
Fortunately, the girl didn't become suspicious, but she shook her head and said, "Now is not the time. We have to wait until night to see the opportunity."
Although they didn't know how to make it, since the girl said so, they could only wait.
"Let's stay and come with you. It can be considered as helping your father realize his dream." Wan Qian said softly.
The girl did not refuse Wan Qian's proposal and happily agreed.
At night, the girl walked out of the hall, went to the yard, looked up at the sky, and then said with a happy smile: "The timing is just right today. It seems that my father is blessing me."
Then the girl brought a basin of water from the room, and Wen Sengyu and the others watched the girl's operation in the yard.
"Do you need us to do anything?" Bian Han said.
"Go and get the rocks for me." The girl pointed to the other side of the room and said.
The stone was not heavy. Bian Han went in alone and took the rock over and placed it next to the basin of water. Wen Sengyu also placed the materials they collected there. Everything was ready. Everyone was waiting to see the girl. operation.
