"Why?" Duan Cheng began to suspect that Yan Jiayu was deliberately going against him.
However, Yan Jiayu looked at him and said, "Shouldn't it be right? Everyone has different ideas and ways of seeing the world. I will go to the place where you have checked, and you can come to the place where I have checked to check for leaks and fill in the gaps."
Duan Cheng didn't want to cooperate. If Yan Jiayu had been willing to track down the criminal players with him just now, they might have called it a day.
But Yan Jiayu didn't care about him so much. She said so and she would do it regardless of whether Duan Cheng agreed or not.
She walked away without looking back, leaving Duan Cheng standing there.
But after staying at the city gate for a while, Duan Cheng left. He did not go to Li Kun, but followed Yan Jiayu.
The two sides kept a certain distance, and then he saw the other party walking through the streets and alleys. When he encountered a place where residents gathered together, they would go over to chat. The content of the chat was extremely boring. It was nothing more than what food someone bought today and what to cook. , or someone used gems to buy a new toy from a stranger for their children, and discussed with a bunch of middle-aged women which facial cream sells well or which jewelry is beautiful, with a good face and an extremely supportive attitude , she was warmly welcomed by the residents of Gem City along the way, harvested several baskets of fruits and vegetables, and some even took the initiative to give her clothes and hats.
Duan Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and finally showed up after following for two hours. However, before he said anything, Yan Jiayu waved to him instead, "I got the props!"
He paused and walked over immediately, "What level of props are they?"
"D-level props, two pieces." Yan Jiayu gestured to the clothes and hat in his hand, "They are all defensive props."
She said, pulling it with both hands and flicking it, "When it was worn on the people of Gemstone City, it was obviously defenseless, but I didn't expect it to be turned into a prop after being given away... I'm so lucky!"
Duan Cheng felt that this was just a waste of time, and said with a sullen face: "Since we can't catch anyone, I'll go and meet Li Kun first."
"Okay." Yan Jiayu waved to him happily without any explanation or reservation.
Yan Jiayu ate the dried meat given by the residents of Gemstone City and watched him go away, and then joined in the chat of the aunties nearby, "It turns out that the best jewelry makers have all moved away... What? By others The state poached them with high salaries, and took away the elderly and children with them? Are they not coming back?"
"Maybe there is a life outside that they long for." The aunt who spoke smiled, "There are many young people in the city who want to go out and fight in the world, bring back things from the outside, and make Gem City better and better."
"Isn't Gem City good enough now?" Yan Jiayu said, "Everyone is happy."
Auntie kept smiling, "There are different kinds of happiness."
As they were talking, the aunt's grandson came running from a distance and pointed to a place selling candy not far away. The aunt led him to buy it with a smile on her face.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Jiayu took the pulley lent to her by the residents of Gem City and returned to the performance venue with the harvested gifts.
Xu Huo had already returned, and the two met and began to sort out the information they had obtained.
"You say it first," Xu Huo said.
"Once a person who commits a crime leaves the city, he cannot come back in," Yan Jiayu said: "I have asked the guards and they can successfully stop people outside the door every time. I guess there should be something in Gem City. Special rules, players labeled as criminals will be stopped outside the city."
"So once the crime leaves Gem City, it will be impossible to pass the level again."
"The other one is that I triggered the side mission, the mystery of the disappearance of the craftsmen. I heard from people in the city that those craftsmen disappeared one after another about half a year ago."
Xu Huo nodded, "I also triggered the same task, but the craftsmen's whereabouts and reasons for leaving each have their own explanations."
He first said some of the rhetoric he had heard, and then listened to what Yan Jiayu had said. He suddenly came up with an idea, "This city should not be a completely pure fairy tale world."
Yan Jiayu also feels the same way, "If everyone only has truth, goodness and beauty, they should be like those stupid people we saw at the city gate and the performance venue yesterday, who would speak without thinking."
"But what we encountered today was different."
"People in Gemstone City usually have a common understanding of what happens in the city," Xu Huo said: "For example, identifying criminals, how many people there are in a certain family, what people should look like, generally speaking, their The information is exchanged, and most people know similar things, but there are several theories about the disappearance of the craftsman, which is obviously abnormal."
The two were silent for a while, and then Yan Jiayu said, "Does it have something to do with the player?"
Her original intention of asking about the empty houses was actually to find the hiding place of the thieves, especially in places where Gem City residents did not go often and no one paid much attention to them. Empty houses were a good target, thinking that Gem City residents also had no right to enter and search. , you can only enter with the permission of the owner of the house, and the king's guards cannot cover so many places at the same time.
"Not necessarily," Xu Huo thought, "I think it may have something to do with the king. There is a rumor that mentions the king. From the king's point of view, those residents of Gemstone City who have a certain degree of independent thinking are considered violators of the rules. Expelling or dealing with people who violate the rules is a common operation of those in power under normal logical thinking."
"And there's another thing worth noting in this case, and that's the gems."
"Almost all the jewelry made by craftsmen are inlaid with gems. Although only a small part of the rumor version about their disappearance mentioned that the craftsmen seemed to value a new kind of gemstone, in connection with the recent theft of the King's Castle, a new one appeared. perspective.”
"The guards at the city gate said that they can only go in and out recently. Although players are an exception, regardless of whether the guards will count this exception, this news implies that the people who steal gems include foreigners and locals in the dungeon. "
"Everyone in Gem City has an equal amount of gems. It sounds a bit unbelievable to steal the king's gems. The residents of Gem City are sure that the thief is a foreigner."
"The background of the dungeon states that the gem was stolen a month ago. From this point of view, the possibility of the player stealing the gem is very small, and the thief has not been caught so far. The probability of people from countries other than Gem City has also been reduced. Looking for it again We haven’t found him for so long, maybe the residents of Gem City are covering up for each other.”
The arrest of players last night was obvious to all. It seems that in the eyes of Gem City people, criminal players are game characters with labels on their heads. It is hard to say whether criminals in the fairy tale world are the same.
When the bounty hunter arrested someone, the residents of Gem City did not go out. I don’t know if they were because they could directly determine whether the arrested person was a criminal, or because they followed the common sense of normal people towards people who were also in the fairy tale world—— Gem City residents are not bounty hunters.
