"Save him." Lu Shu nodded without hesitation.
Serena unscrewed the red cork.
"……Wait a moment."
There was a sudden sound outside the door.
Lu Shu turned around for a moment.
Su Mingan, who was supposed to die indoors, was standing outside the door bathed in moonlight, looking at him.
"Wait a minute, travelers from the outside world. During this period, only designated priests can walk at night... Why are you not affected by the rules?" Selina looked extremely surprised. The Sanskrit in her hand was glowing: " If the stipulated time is not reached, it should be impossible to get out..."
"Because I am a character outside the rules." Su Mingan spread his hands: "I let the clone go out at the beginning, and only transferred the main consciousness after the main body died, so... should I be considered an identityless person now? "
"What kind of rule is this?" Lu Shu still didn't understand it yet.
"Similar to a real-life werewolf."
Lu Shu looked at him blankly.
"Lu Shu." Selina called Lu Shu's name. The light of the Sanskrit words on her hand was fading: "As [Witches], the time to act is coming soon. We must go back."
Lu Shu glanced at the scene in the room and clenched his fists: "Su Mingan, who killed you?"
"The attackers were very well prepared. Their whole bodies seemed to be enveloped in black mist. The clones didn't even see who they were before they died... However, it is certain that there was more than one person." Su Mingan said.
"That's right." Sharina said: "[Witch] can only see the dead at night, but she can't know who the attacker is... Okay, the specific rules will be explained to you by the village chief during the day. Now, Lu Shu, we have to go back."
"Save me first?" Su Mingan said, "Annalena told me that the person on the ground was the one who got the identity. If he stays dead, my identity will be invalid."
"Annalena? Is your guide called this?" After receiving Lu Shu's permission, Salina unscrewed the cork of the antidote: "But before that, as a traveler from the outside world, I want to know who you are. To judge whether this rescue is valuable... If your identity is not a priest as precious as mine, it would be a pity to waste the only antidote..."
"I understand your concerns." Su Ming'an said with a smile: "I am - [Prophet]. Lu Shu, don't show such a confused expression. You will know its specific meaning tomorrow during the day."
"Prophet... that is indeed the most important identity." Serena nodded solemnly.
She knelt down and carefully sprinkled the liquid on the body of the clone. Then, light red fluorescence like fireflies floated up.
[Traveler No. 4, Lu Shu, is a witch. On the first night, you chose to use the antidote to revive Traveler No. 1, Su Mingan. 】
Lu Shu heard such a system prompt. It only appeared on his interface. It seemed that it was directed at him.
"The guides don't know each other, and they can't see each other, just like spirits... Logically speaking, I won't be seen by anyone. But you, a traveler who has not obtained any identity, is an exception. You can actually see it. Me." Selina watched as the red antidote was used up, and then took the empty glass bottle into her arms.
"Then I have a unique advantage." Su Mingan said with a smile: "If I can see the leader of any of you, can I identify the identity of any player?"
"The premise is that you want other players to trust you." Selina said lightly: "Also, our guides will only appear at night and disappear during the day, unless you can find players who act at night."
She said, pulling Lu Shu up.
"Let's go, Lu Shu." Her movements carried an undeniable force. Lu Shu wanted to say a few words to Su Ming'an, but was involuntarily pulled away by the dim light.
The wooden door was closed in front of him. Su Mingan looked at the clone that had just been resurrected and got up from the ground, and showed a subtle smile.
…
【Day 1·Daytime】
The morning light slowly poured into the wooden house, coating the simple furnishings with a shiny golden edge. It was instantly awakened to life, and the footsteps of many people walking on the road could be heard outside.
As early as at night, Su Ming'an took advantage of his ability to go out at will and walked around the entire village. He didn't find anything wrong - if you don't count the environment that was so quiet that everyone seemed to be dead.
All the houses have no windows, only a closed wooden door. He once tried using annihilation to open the door, but he got the system prompt "This building cannot be destroyed".
He also tried to wait on the road to see if any other players would come out of the house like Lu Shu, but there were none. The moment Salina and Lu Shu stepped out of his house, their figures disappeared instantly. He chased them out of the house, only to see an empty, dead road.
"Sure enough, even if it is a little convenient, you still can't see other people's movements at night..." Su Mingan thought like this, and explored around the village. He found that the edges of the village were blocked by invisible air walls, and he could not walk. go out.
But strangely, when the operation was about to end, he noticed a house that was larger than the other houses. When he wanted to enter, the prompt he received was not that he could not enter, but:
[This building is currently unavailable, please come at a different time. 】
"What is the unavailable state... used for?" Su Mingan thought, looking at the tasks on his system panel:
[World name: Trilee Town]
[Basic task for all players: win the camp. 】
[Perfect clearance (note: perfect clearance of this world does not affect the acquisition of the source of the world): Infer the secret of Trili Town. 】
In addition, due to his status as the "power holder", there is an additional task on his interface:
[The person in power: Exile the evil NPC Jasmine and let her be exposed and expelled in front of all the townspeople. 】
[Task reward: The status of "the person in power" becomes regular. 】
[Punishment for mission failure: Take back the identity of "the person in power". 】
Because of the identity of this person in power, even if the perfect clearance of this world does not affect the source of the world, he may still need to fight for it.
...As for this NPC "Jasmine", let's go look for it during the day.
Su Ming'an had already adjusted the perspective of the live broadcast room to himself. All the actions of the clone were invisible to the audience. They could only see that he was wandering around the village with a somewhat scary environment throughout the night, looking for something that had no results. clues.
[I want to see the clone’s perspective! ! ! 】
[Brother Ming An is really a prophet? ? Why do I feel like he is lying to me...]
[Of course a prophet! If he was a bad guy, would he die at night? Use your brain, okay? 】
[What is a prophet? What is a witch? Why do you all act like you know the rules...]
[Brother Ming'an, why don't you let us see the clone's perspective... I don't want to see this dark village, it's so scary...]
[Brother Lu Shu really jumped to the rescue immediately. He really didn’t consider any other factors...]
[The look in Lu Shu’s eyes when he saw the first player dead was so terrifying. At that time, I even suspected that he was about to turn black.jpg]
[At least it is certain that Brother Lu Shu is a witch. I feel that no matter what Su Mingan’s identity is, with the support of the witch, he has won half the battle...]
[It’s hard to say... I feel that except for Lu Shu’s support for Su Ming’an, other players are a little confused...]
【……】
The morning light shone into the village, and it was daytime.
Su Ming'an, who had found nothing all night, was standing at the foot of the back hill of the town, preparing to go up the mountain to take a look. He felt movement on the clone's side, and quickly transferred the control and live broadcast angle.
…
"Dong dong dong."
There was a gentle knock on the wooden door, and the clone opened the door, which had no cracks at all, with his eyes open after not sleeping all night.
There was a creaking sound from the wooden door. Standing outside the door was a hunched old man with a kind face. He was wearing ocher robes and leaning on a cane with a dragon head carved on it. His figure looked a little shrunken.
Seeing Su Ming'an open the door, he slowly looked over with friendly eyes:
"Hello outside travelers, I am the mayor of the town... The day has arrived, I wonder if you had a good night's rest... Huh? Wait, you seem to be a little different from the other eleven travelers... "The mayor stared at him for a while, and then his smile became more real: "...Although I don't know why, I think you are trustworthy. Travelers from the outside world, your features and eyes really look like my child. Pori…”
Su Ming'an understood. This was due to the increase in NPC's favorability as a [person in power].
"I really want to tell you the story of the village... But now is not the time to chat, dear traveler... Every day, a meeting is held in the village. Several other players have already notified you. You should have been allowed to You are looking for a place, but for now, I will take you there first."
The mayor walked away shakily, leaning on the cane, and Su Ming'an quickly followed.
As soon as he went out, he saw that the door of the opposite house was already open... Not only the opposite house, but also the houses that were as dead as tombstones at night. Their doors were all open, and the bright sunshine poured in, turning the originally dead and dilapidated houses into The village was dyed golden.
This seems to be the edge of the town, like a separate area with twelve independent houses. He noticed that his house had a 1 on it, while the other houses were marked with numbers 2 through 12.
The doors of those houses were all open, and there was no one inside. Su Mingan seemed to be the last one to be notified. When the mayor took him to the central square with slow steps, the other eleven players were already in the square. I waited.
He noticed that there was a long, mahogany table in the square, with a candlestick and twelve identity cards marked 1-12.
But the identity card looked like the underworld, like a tablet, and there were even traces of dried blood on the edges.
Beside the long table was an extremely eye-catching, tall ocher-red long pole, with a noose hanging on it. The size of the noose was about the same as a person's neck, making Su Mingan vaguely guess what it was for.
He also saw the players on the world rankings. Their faces were all regulars in the world forum, and the moment they saw him, some of them changed their expressions slightly.
Edward was the center of several people. He was standing in the middle of them. On the left stood a thick-browed, hunky-backed Andre, who had various small bags tied around his body, and a man with a metal spear on his back. Adolf, sixth on the list.
"..." They seemed to want to discuss in a low voice, but Su Ming'an's eyes remained firmly focused on this area.
The barrage started to discuss:
[Andre and Adolf, these two have bad identities, right? 】
[One thing to say, it’s so obvious. I was so surprised to see that the person was not dead. It must have been the two of them who did it at night...]
[You two need to pay attention to your expressions when facing a murderer!]
[Damn it, world-class bosses are gathering, why are you standing there, taking screenshots!]
[It’s rare to see, it’s rare to see, a few people are in the same frame!]
[Wow, there is a nice pair of sisters. Is that Mizushima River? 】
[I saw Noel Wuwu. Although I chose Su Mingan’s live broadcast room to watch the world story, Noel is really cute...]
【……】
Next to Edward and others stood Noel, the second-ranked man in European aristocratic clothes, and Aini, the tenth-ranked man. When Noel saw Su Mingan coming, he smiled and said hello, but Aini looked away unnaturally, as if he saw an enemy. Face.
Next to him, there was Bangwu Shuidao Chuankong, who was standing silently. His eyes were as calm as a lake and there were no waves, as if he didn't see Su Ming'an coming over. But next to her, there was a girl who was almost carved out of the same mold. Unlike the silent Mizushima River, she was shaking her body as if she couldn't stand straight, and her black eyes were staring at Su Ming'an, who was looking over. There was real hostility in his eyes.
A little further on the edge are three people that Su Mingan has never really met.
Iris, who is on the ninth list, has been famous for a long time. This woman from Yu State, who has always been hailed as the "Goddess of the West" by players, has extremely beautiful long golden hair. When her pair of narrow, seductive eyes slowly look at When you come here, you will feel confident, elegant, lazy and refined, with a transparent independent beauty.
Next to her was a woman from the Dragon Kingdom. Her long bangs covered her eyes, making her look a little gloomy. Unlike the confident and elegant Iris, her figure shrank, like a shrimp that couldn't straighten up. Her fists with scars were clenched unconsciously, like a female student who was often bullied in school. When she saw Su Mingan coming over, At that moment, she took half a step back, her slightly cloudy eyes showing fear in her hair, as if she didn't want to get close to him at all.
...This is Lin Jiang, who is eleventh on the list. She is also one of the few players at the top of the list who never starts live streaming, causing most people to desperately lack information about her.
Lin Jiang took the initiative to shrink back, but Iris did not take a step back. Her beautiful eyes were looking at Su Ming'an lazily, and the corners of her lips raised a very seductive smile.
[God, I only fully felt the charm of Miss Iris when I saw her up close. 】
[She is so damn beautiful, beautiful and confident. 】
[Iris’ job is to be able to enchant all living beings with a magical voice. She has such great appeal even before she opens her mouth. I really can’t imagine what this game will be like in the end...]
[Brother Ming An was attracted hhh, the first person he walked towards was not Edward or Lu Shu, but indeed the most beautiful Miss Iris~]
【What? Is Brother Ming An also attracted? No, come back quickly! A woman like Iris will only take advantage of you. Miss Yu Ruohe, who never leaves you, is the most fragrant——!]
[…Are you sure it’s Iris’s appearance that attracts Brother Ming’an? 】
[Why do I feel bad about Brother Ming An? It would be fine if it were a world of individual competition, but this seems to be a world of camp competition. Except for Noel who said hello and his own Lu Shu, other players seemed to be wary of him...]
【……】
"He actually made it to the fourth world... consider him lucky." Edward whispered.
"There is really nothing you can do about having a clone skill." Andre on the side said: "However, as long as he returns to the main god space and finds an opportunity to kill again. Now everyone knows that he is suspected of being a lackey of the organizer. If we look for opportunities, it doesn’t mean we are going against public opinion.”
"No, you don't understand, Andre." A flash of fierceness flashed in Edward's eyes: "The best... is never physical destruction. I want to make him lose miserably in this world, and lose to the whole world. From a player’s perspective, it’s best for him to admit it himself… I am the legitimate number one player.”
"It's a bit difficult."
"No." Edward sneered: "Although the rules of this world dungeon are not very clear yet, it is definitely a camp system. No matter whether he and I are in the same camp or an enemy camp, as long as he wants to win, I can take advantage of this... "
