Jiang Jiu turned around and walked towards the inside of the bell tower.
the other side.
Chen Ting and others continued forward along the previous route, but no one came back. Most of the NPCs encountered on the road were solved by tentacle monsters, so there was no danger.
But everyone did not feel relaxed in their hearts.
"Sister Ting, what should I do?" Qianqian said with red eyes, "Why doesn't that stupid thing from behind know how to leave a mark on the road?"
It seems that this street is coming to an end, but they still have no news from behind.
Players disappear from the game and are basically declared dead.
Chen Ting opened her mouth and was about to speak when a system announcement suddenly sounded in her ears.
[The 'Start From Scratch' dungeon has been corrected and the countdown to the end of the dungeon has started. Players are requested to submit the main quest as soon as possible. 】
at the same time--
[Congratulations to player Jiang Jiu for reaching 90% of the exploration progress of the hidden plot "Blood Yun'an Road"! 】
The colored glass of the prism reflects the colorful light, and a small window is opened above the big clock in the bell tower. The colorful glass used in the window not only serves as a decoration, but also gives people the feeling that it is only decorated with extremely fast colored glass.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that there is a small space behind the huge clock.
Just above the number 12.
Jiang Jiu climbed up to the compartment. This place was very low, only big enough for a person to bend down and pass through.
The girl bent over, holding the seven-star sword in her hand, and her eyes fell on the semicircular compartment at the end of the path, which looked like the opening of a cave, with a person sitting at the entrance.
Jiang Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the clothes on his body clearly.
If I remember correctly, I wore the same suit forward.
Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue and stood there for a while before raising his feet and moving forward.
His face turned to one side, and he was unconscious. His wrist was cut open, and blood flowed out, but it strangely flowed into the cave in a winding curve.
She narrowed her eyes.
If this area were bleeding normally, the person would have died long ago.
Jiang Jiu put his hand on his neck. Although his pulse was a little weak, it was not that he could not be saved.
"It looks like the price will go up next time."
Jiang Jiu murmured, and with some pain, he exchanged a hemostatic pill in the system mall and stuffed it into the boy's mouth.
*
As far as she knew, a certain boss in the top ten rankings was particularly fond of the hidden plot of the strategy copy.
They even buy props to replay the dungeon to unlock hidden plots.
Chen Ting shook her head secretly, thinking that she was thinking wildly.
She had seen that person's photo on the forum. Not only his appearance, but also his gender were different from Jiang Jiu's.
They are not the same person at all.
"Appreciate further details."
Chen Ting said politely.
Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows, picked up a stone, and started writing on the ground.
"The background of this dungeon is Yun'an Road thirty years ago. By chance, I inquired about this street before entering the dungeon."
"Like the background of the game introduction, it is a popular shopping street."
The girl drew two roads on the ground, one marked thirty years ago.
"Zhou Min."
Suddenly hearing his name, Zhou Min answered subconsciously.
Jiang Jiu's eyes were sharp: "If I remember correctly, you and Zhu Qingyang live near Yun'an Road, right?"
Zhou Min nodded: "It's not just me and Zhu Qingyang, I remember that the tattooed man also said when he first entered the game, he just went downstairs to buy breakfast..."
"Yes." Jiang Jiu turned to look at the old man sitting beside him, "You are also a nearby resident."
Chen Xu met her gaze and smiled kindly.
"Yes, my wife and I have been living here for almost thirty years."
Chen Ting frowned and immediately understood what Jiang Jiu meant.
"So you want to say that except for a few of us old players, all these newcomers have something to do with Yun'an Road?"
Jiang Jiu said calmly: "I don't know if there are many situations in the game where the replica world and the real world have the same scenes, but it is indeed the first time I have encountered it."
Therefore, it is natural to care.
"In other words, there are indeed not many dungeons in the game pool with the same background as the real world." Chen Ting hesitated, "Do you think...what happened in the dungeons may have happened in reality?"
He raised his head sharply forward and looked at Chen Ting in astonishment.
"Sister Ting!"
Chen Ting raised her hand to stop him.
"I know what I'm talking about." She looked at Jiang Jiu steadily.
Want to get answers from the girl.
Jiang Jiu's face was calm.
"It's indeed possible, isn't it?"
Xiang Qian couldn’t believe it: “Do you know what you are talking about?!”
What if what happened in the copy also happened in reality?
Doesn’t that mean that those idols, offerings, and human body organs used as sacrifices really existed? !
Moving forward, I suddenly felt a chill running down my back.
Did such a tragic and horrific incident really happen on this street?
Not a game, not a copy.
But...real life.
Jiang Jiu's eyes traced across Chen Xu's body on the side without leaving a trace, the corner of his mouth curled up, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Some places still retain the custom of human sacrifice. Isn't it surprising?"
"But--"
Speechless forward.
Most of the places Jiang Jiu mentioned are uncivilized and basically no different from primitive people. How can they be compared with a civilized society with the rule of law?
Jiang Jiu stared at him and said meaningfully: "You have to know that people eating people is more terrifying than ghosts eating people."
Shivered forward.
The air was frozen and silent.
After a while, Chen Ting broke the silence.
"So, do you think this is the hidden plot of Yun'an Road?"
Jiang Jiu raised her beautiful eyes and said lazily, "Don't be anxious."
She continued drawing on the ground.
"In the copy, the appearance of the Life Barber Shop brings the false god into the public eye. Every customer who enters the barber shop is labeled as a follower of the false god. Of course, based on our current information, we can conclude that these believers Most of them have been reduced to sacrifices, and only a few can get the right to worship, such as the owner of Feitian Internet Cafe and the Chen Xu you mentioned."
The girl's voice was a little low, but nice.
Telling it eloquently will not make people feel bored at all.
"People feed their desires, and then use their desires to feed back to the false gods. The false gods fill their desires, forming a cycle."
Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
It is a pity that human desires are like hyenas, greed is endless.
"Suppose, as is the case in real life, that followers of false gods begin to perform sacrifices in order to fulfill their wishes, then they will need a large number of sacrifices."
The girl drew a long line to connect the two streets, entangled and intertwined.
"The sacrifices are human organs. If you want to obtain the organs..."
The expression on Chen Ting's face was unpredictable.
"Organ trading?!"
Ginger wine throws away the stone.
"In the dungeon, the Barber Shop of Life does not exist in this world at all, it is just a projection of a different world."
