(Thanks to 0329jimmy for the tip)
Feng Yan nodded and said to himself: "The setting of the plot is quite reasonable. It seems that it does not require me to interact with NPCs and there is no setting for handing in tasks. Otherwise, if the NPCs I handed in the tasks have died, how can I still hand in the tasks? Woolen cloth?"
Speaking of this, Feng Yan smiled, squatted down and looked at the clown corpse lying on the ground and said: "Unlock the weapon first to get 10 minutes of the opponent's location information. This is obviously urging players to complete each unlocking task as soon as possible, and here He also gave a very obvious reminder, 'The NPC is useless, hurry up and go to the fountain.' Do you urge me to leave so that you don't want me to get some key items to pass the level?"
While talking to Feng Yan, he began to search the clown's body. The tricks of the system here are extremely confusing. The visible prompts and hidden prompts work together to confuse the players. It is meaningless to go to the fountain and stay here. The explicit prompts here are very confusing. The phase is Ziken's reminder that 'you only need to repair the fountain to lift the seal', while the hidden phase's urging is an explanation of the game's general environment: you must lift the seal as quickly as possible before you can take the initiative.
The apparent confusion is not artificial, and the latent confusion has existed from the beginning. The average player will definitely leave after listening to Ziken's words and rush to the fountain, but Feng Yan is not an ordinary player. Yao Ming is holding up the sky when it falls. , Why are you so anxious? If this store and NPC only exist to issue a guide, then it has no meaning at all, and it is impossible for players to open the door.
After groping for a while, Feng Yan found an item related to the plot in the clown's pants pocket.
[Name: Insider Contact Device]
[Type: Drama related]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Special effect: After pressing the switch, the contactor will emit ultra-frequency sound waves. The undercover will receive the sound waves and make some subtle reactions. Then he can communicate with the undercover by tapping the contactor]

The undercover agent must choose someone who is very trustworthy and inseparable from him. This item is the Joker's Specially prepared for you who are coming soon, he and the undercover can communicate mentally as long as they get close]
"This thing is so funny. Why is something like this found on the clown?"
Feng Yan looked at the black box about the size of mahjong tiles in his hand and was a little puzzled, but it was a plot-related item, which meant that it would be used later, so he put the [Internal Ghost Chain Device] directly into it. He fumbled around again and found a work ID card in the jacket pocket of the clown's body.
[Name: Work Permit]
[Type: Drama related]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Whether this copy can be taken out: No]
[Remarks: An ordinary work permit cannot be more ordinary]
The information on the work permit is as follows:
[Name: Xiaosi]
【Sex: Male】
[Position: Cashier]
[Year of birth: January 27, 2009]
[Service Scope: Cashiering at the Crazy Doll Shop on Soul Street in the Dark Playground]
At this point in the plot, Feng Yan was once again confused, but it had already been delayed for several minutes. After seeing that there was indeed nothing to search on the clown or in the store, Feng Yan quickly got up and rushed out of the crazy doll store. .
After leaving the doll shop, Feng Yan ran forward for more than ten meters and saw a circular square. In the center of the square was a large circular reservoir. There were several tall square lights around the reservoir. Through these lights, Feng Yan can clearly see that there are many irregularly arranged nozzles in the reservoir. Obviously there is a fountain in the center of the reservoir, but it is not turned on now. It seems that this should be the [Ghost Contact Device] The 'Second Fountain' was mentioned in the remarks. Feng Yan also remembered that the fountain attraction here was also marked as the 'Second Fountain' on the map that was displayed for 10 seconds when he first entered the instance.
The second fountain at this moment should be broken as Ziken said, but how to repair it?
There should be settings here that trigger the plot.
Looking away from the sprinkler in the center of the pool, Feng Yan walked around the circular pool and found something special on the edge of the pool wall.
The entire pool is circular, and there are twelve statues evenly distributed on the wall of the pool. These twelve statues correspond to the twelve zodiac signs.
This was the conclusion that Feng Yan came to after completing a circle. The first rat statue he saw was the pig statue. The moment he saw the pig statue, his eyes went dark and his body felt like it was... He fell into the extremely cold ice cellar, and then woke up in an instant. He found that he was on an endless grassland, with twelve monsters sitting in a circle not far in front of him.
Feng Yan thought: It seems that he has entered the second realm.
It is not difficult to see that these twelve monsters correspond to the twelve zodiac statues that Feng Yan saw on the wall of the pool just now, because they are the heads of animals with human bodies. The appearance of these heads is similar to the statues that Feng Yan saw on the wall of the pool. The heads are exactly the same.
Feng Yan noticed that there was a word behind the position where the twelve zodiac animals were sitting at this moment. Zi Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wu, Shen, You and Xuhai respectively corresponded to rat, chicken, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, cow, dog, and pig.
"Boy, come here."
The one who spoke was Dragon Head, and Feng Yan walked up to it.
"Hello, I want to..."
Snake Head: "You want to fix the fountain, right?"
Before Feng Yan finished speaking, the snake head next to the dragon head interrupted him.
Rat Head: "Xiaosi asked you to come, right?"
Feng Yan: "Yes, how did you know?"
Tiger Head: "What's weird about this? He has wanted to repair this fountain for many years."
Rabbit Head: "Has Xiaosi given up?"
Feng Yan scratched his head and said, "That's not the case. He has something to do and asked me to solve it."
Sheep Head: "Come on, he tried so many times without success. He felt that his ability was limited, so he let you try."
Feng Yan's thoughts raced: "Has he been here before?"
Monkey Head: "Why haven't you been here before? I come here almost every now and then."
Feng Yan: "The purpose is to repair the fountain?"
Horse head: "Yes."
Feng Yan: "So in other words, whether the fountain can be repaired or not is directly related to you... guys, and it is not the problem of the fountain itself."
Chicken Head: "This guy seems to be very smart."
Doghead: "This is simple and obvious reasoning, nothing to praise."
Pig Head: "Let the boss explain the rules. I can't wait to start playing the game."
Dragon Head: "As long as you play a game with us and win, we will help you repair the fountain, how about it?"
The expressions of these weird guys with human bodies and animal heads are as dull as the expressions of the statues outside. Only their mouths move when they speak, without moving any muscles on their faces. They have a dead face without any facial expressions. It's quite uncomfortable, as if you're talking to a dead person.
Feng Yan nodded: "What game?"
Dragon Head: "The name of this game is 'Throw the Handkerchief'."
