"If Yu Liang hadn't sent you a letter at that time, would you still have appeared here?" Qi Zhen asked Xiao Aodao.
Xiao Ao thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't know about the existence of this evil dragon before, so naturally I wouldn't come here. What I wanted to do before was just to stop what he and the female ghost were planning."
Qi Zhen nodded and said to Wu Tian: "Wu Xianshi, please step aside. We have something we want to talk about first."
Wu Tian nodded and turned to study the big head of the evil dragon.
Qi Zhen's heart felt cold, and an emotion called fear kept hitting his heart.
This is also the reason why we are so eager to review this matter with our teammates right here and now.
The truth comes out.
These are two completely different but extremely closely related story lines.
One is the trivial matter of Zhang Zongchang's attempt to change his fate against the will of heaven, and the other is the major matter of the loss of the dragon-suppressing pot, which will soon make it impossible to stop the evil dragon from crossing the river.
The incident of the evil dragon traveling across the river started when Li San purchased the Zhenlong Pot in Yixing Prefecture and met the evil dragon who transformed into a shopkeeper in Liyang.
Zhang Zongchang changed his destiny against fate when he met Lin Xi Xiao Ao at Liyang Inn, and Lin Xiao followed Lin Xi away.
The intersection of the two story lines is in the inn in Liyang, and the key person in it is Zhang Dacai.
Then the two stories separated again. Huang Wenbiao could not be traced and disappeared. Qi Zhen's team accidentally discovered clues to the Dragon Suppressing Pot on the way. At this time, Li San was still kept in the dark.
In Jiuzi, everyone parted ways due to Lin Xiao's death. The key figure at this time was Xiao Ao. The clues given were once again divided into two completely different stories based on the player's choices.
Regarding the matter of suppressing the Dragon Pot, one should go to the City God’s Temple to see the temple blessings and help the City God to communicate with Xiao Ao.
To renew his life, he came to Zhang Dacai's residence to verify Zhang Zongchang's identity.
The key figure at this time was Zhang Zongchang.
On the one hand, he opened the barrier of Wuhu, let Xiao Ao in and hurt himself, and lured the evil dragon to come here, and then completed the killing.
On the other hand, the team needs to destroy the barrier, let Xiao Ao enter this place to defeat Zhang Zongchang, prevent him from changing his fate against nature, and avenge his teammates.
So the two story lines were unified at this time.
That's why so many things happened one after another. At several key time points, if the team makes different choices, a completely different story line may develop.
If Li San had not found the Dragon-Suppressing Pot, if Lin Xiao had not left with Lin Xi, this would be the key point for the mission to begin.
If the team did not follow Zhang Dacai, or if Li San did not follow Lin Xiao but chose to move forward with the team, this is the second key point.
If Jiuzi did not follow Xiao Ao's instructions to deliver the letter to the City God's Temple and Zhang Dacai's home, this would be the third key point, and the third key point would be the most fatal.
Without Yu Liang's actions, the team would have been eaten by evil dragons, or caught or even killed by Zhang Zongchang.
"In my opinion, Zhang Zongchang's decision to give up on changing his fate against fate was probably not determined until after the battle with us in the wine cellar. It might have been earlier."
"Maybe it was decided after he fought with us in Jiuzi, when he absorbed ghost power to do his best but suffered backlash."
"So for him, the most important thing has always been how to kill this evil dragon."
"This is probably the reason why I haven't felt that he had any murderous intention towards us from the beginning to now." Qi Zhen started to analyze.
The two things are inextricably linked but relatively independent and influence each other.
The situation designed by the system is really terrible.
"It starts from the smallest moment, and one careless move can lead to the entire army being annihilated." Li Qiang said.
"Then we only killed two teammates, wouldn't we still make a profit?" Meng Ran said, with some bitterness in his words.
"Although I don't want to admit it, you are right." Qi Zhen sighed.
"But there is one thing I want to remind everyone." Qi Zhen said immediately, "Don't forget that Li San and Lin Xiao are the key figures for the team to start these two story lines."
"You mean..." Jiang Yan said.
"I didn't say anything, and I don't know anything. So far, I'm just guessing." Qi Zhen interrupted her.
He just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
…
So for the team, there is still another problem that needs to be solved.
Xiao Ao.
How to calculate?
You say he is a teammate, but now his soul is possessed by Yu Liang's pet. You say he has become Yu Liang's pet, but he actually has the thoughts and soul of an NPC in this world.
"Isn't this a bug?" Yu Liang asked in confusion.
They didn't shy away from Xiao Ao when they talked.
Xiao Ao listened to those terms such as tasks, story lines, key points, and NPCs that he didn't understand at all, and he became more and more confused about who these people in front of him were.
However, his natural pride did not allow him to ask.
Seeing that they were talking about him, his eyes began to flicker with doubt again.
Qi Zhen shook her head: "Since the contact between you two is still there, I advise you not to make any formal attempts. It is Xiao Ao's ability to guess how much you can guess. Don't take the initiative to tell him."
Yu Liang was puzzled: "Why?"
"I'm so smart." Qi Zhen patted her forehead.
"Don't forget Zhao Xuance's lesson. The scars are so healed that they forget the pain." Jiang Yan stabbed him coldly.
"Oh oh oh." Yu Liang nodded repeatedly, not sure whether he really understood or pretended to understand.
After the team's review was over, Qi Zhen turned to Wu Tian and said, "Master Wu Xian, we are done talking."
Qi Zhen still believed in Wu Tian, knowing that he would not listen if he didn't listen. With his strength, Qi Zhen couldn't hide what he wanted to hear.
Wu Tianzheng was thinking about whether he could cut off the horns of the dragon and give them to his master as a gift. At this moment, he heard Qi Zhen calling him and quickly replied: "Huh?"
"We've almost finished talking here, now it's time to talk about you." Qi Zhen said.
"Me? What's going on?" Wu Tian asked.
"There is one thing I have never understood. This evil dragon traveled across the river and caused trouble here a hundred years ago. Why did you choose to kill it until today?" Qi Zhen said frankly and honestly.
When Wu Tian heard about what happened to Qi Zhen and everyone, he was naturally amazed and his curiosity was greatly satisfied.
At this time, he stopped talking nonsense and said slowly: "It's simple, because he has nausea."
This nausea is naturally not the nausea that makes you want to vomit.
It is the evil that is good and evil, the heart that is harmful to others.
