"Nizi Alley?" Song Yu repeated subconsciously, his expression slightly changing: "Isn't that the one where the incense shop is..." Song Yu subconsciously took two steps in that direction.

"Sir, where are you going?" The old master's voice stopped Song Yu's footsteps. Logically speaking, since there was a fire in the city, they, as managers of the Security Department, should go to the scene to see, but in comparison, it must be the death of the squire. more important.

The death of the squire is closely related to the main plot of the game, but the fire in the incense shop... Song Yu thought of the paper figures outside the town and Jie Nanshi who had not returned for a while and hesitated for a while. He was afraid of missing the main line and the opportunity to find bugs, but it was a pity that one person was somewhat incapable of doing all the work.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked back at Qiaoyi, who had been following him. According to the normal main line of the game, this

The PC should have died. The reason she is still alive at this time is because of the variable Xie Nanshi. In other words, she should not have appeared in the plot at this time, and her actions are naturally better than those of a certain character.

PC is much more free. There is no trustworthy person around the target Song Yu, so why not give these local people a try?

How much can a PC do?

"Qiaoyi, go over there and take a look." Song Yu thought for a while and then added another warning: "Pay attention to safety and don't go deep."

"Okay, young master." Qiaoyi responded, then lifted up her skirt and ran towards the direction of the fire.

Song Yu withdrew his gaze and followed the boy and his group to Zhang's house. Although it is said to be a wealthy family in the town, Qinghe Town itself is very poor. Even if it is said to be a wealthy family, it only has a three-entry courtyard with a high wall. There are about a dozen helpers and servants in the family.

As soon as Song Yu entered the door, he heard crying from the courtyard. Several women and children could be seen wailing outside the main door, but the door was closed tightly and no one went in.

"Master, if you go like this, how can we, the orphans and the widowed, survive?"

I don’t know if it’s because someone came in, these

As if a switch was turned on, PC cried even harder. But the scene of crying at the door is somewhat weird.

Song Yu asked the boy who was leading the way: "Where is your master?"

"Inside!" The boy pointed to the main room, his expression became a little shrinking.

Song Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't remember encountering any unexplainable deaths in the main plot, but looking at these

The PC's attitude suggested that the deceased's appearance was not very good-looking.

This time, the old master's gaze immediately fell on Song Yu, as if waiting for his instructions, but no one was willing to open the door first. Song Yu was speechless for a moment, hesitantly pushed the door open, but subconsciously closed his eyes the moment the door opened. There was no mosaic protection at the moment, who knew what kind of scene he would see.

He is also very scared!

There was no bloody smell in the side room as expected, but instead there was a faint fragrance of plum. But compared to the taste, the scene in the house was not so comfortable.

Song Yu saw at a glance the almost dazzling red color, which was spread all over the room, and messy plum blossoms were painted on the ground and walls. It was an almost magnificent beauty. However, in the center of this plum blossom is a shriveled corpse that has been drained of blood.

Song Yu's hand was still on the door, and he subconsciously grasped the door handle. Not only because of facing the bloody fear, but also because...it's different! I don't know why many things have changed since he returned to Novice Village.

In the first round, Zhang Chen also died at home, which opened the door for the White Walkers to devour the entire village. However, there was nothing strange about his death. It even misled the player at the beginning that the other party was suicide or vendetta. As the incident progressed, , the White Walkers matured and no longer hid, and finally broke out. Unlike this time... anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that it was the work of the White Walkers.

Depending on the killing method, the White Walker may not be the same one. A week's worth of experience is completely useless at this time. Maybe... he didn't actually go back to the beginning of the game, but traveled to a world that was the same as the game setting?

Song Yu stood at the door and took a deep breath. As a modern man, he has really endured too much in the past few days. If he hadn't repeatedly brainwashed his mind with the idea that this was just a game, he might have been tempted to run away.

Song Yu closed the door slowly, his eyes falling on the Zhang family. Although it was done by a strange ghost, there was no guarantee that the strange ghost was not wearing human skin at this time. He asked: "Who found the body?"

A thin woman said carefully: "It's the slave family." She looked at Song Yu timidly with red eyes, and she shed a few tears: "The slave family is here." I was about to wait for the master to go out when I saw..."

"It's all you bitch and vixen!" The old lady standing in the center of the crowd glared at the woman: "Tell me! Did you harm my son! My poor son, why did he leave like this..."

Seeing that the old lady had just said a few words, she looked like she was crying and wishing she could faint. The people next to her were either following her to accuse the woman or trying to persuade the old lady to show her condolences. There was a lot of noise in the yard for a while, and Song Yu felt dizzy when he heard it.

"Stop arguing!" Song Yu shouted coldly, not to mention that this moment really calmed everyone down, and everyone looked at Song Yu quietly for a while.

Song Yu looked around, walked to the stone at the door, and sat down with his legs crossed: "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly one by one. I have plenty of time."



At this time, there was no trace of living people in the incense and candle shop. But those strange ghosts and evil spirits have obviously been destroyed, but for some reason there is still an evil spirit. The flames were so blazing that they covered up the source of the faint evil spirit. Jie Nanshi relied on his own cultivation to isolate the flames, but his body was still hot. But he seemed to have no feeling at all and was focused on rummaging around in the incense and candle shop.

Doing your best to eliminate evil is the first principle for all Taoist priests who come down from the mountain. This is also the reason why he followed Song Yu to Qinghe Town. He wanted to find out the source of the White Walkers, and of course he also wanted to use Song Yu to find out the truth about time reversal.

"Cough, cough." Du Anchen blocked the thick smoke with his long sleeves and rushed to Xie Nanshi, "What are you looking for?" She wanted to pull Xie Nanshi out, but when she saw his serious look, she sighed helplessly. : "I'll help you find it together."

Xie Nanshi didn't answer. He remembered the strange place he felt when he first went to the incense and candle shop. It was a shelf full of incense boxes. At this time, it had been burned by the fire and his original appearance could not be seen.

Xie Nanshi's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", he closed his eyes slightly and pinched it with his fingers. When he opened his eyes again, a dark golden light seemed to flash in his eyes, and he said softly: "Broken."

The firelight and the burning things in front of me seemed to be blown away by the breeze, revealing the blackened wall behind. Jie Nanshi stepped forward, reached out and groped on the wall for a moment, found a tiny gap and pushed hard.

"Secret door!" Du Anchen was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows slightly. When he saw Jie Nanshi walking into the secret door, he followed without any hesitation.

At this time, Qiaoyi had just arrived outside the incense shop, where many people who came to put out the fire had gathered. She grabbed one of them and asked: "My father, could you please tell me what happened here?"

Seeing that it was a pretty little girl asking, the old man answered patiently: "Just a quarter of an hour ago, the water suddenly broke out here, and within a moment the fire was already so big, it was like it suddenly appeared... Hey, what kind of evil has been done!"

Qiaoyi looked at the fire that completely engulfed the house: "Is there anyone still in the store?"

When the old man heard this, he waved his hand and said, "That's not clear. There's such a big fire... I hope it doesn't happen!"

"Thank you." Qiaoyi bowed and saluted. Seeing the old man waving his hands and going to put out the fire, she stood behind the crowd and observed silently. If the young master wants to know the situation, she needs to know all the information.



The secret room was blocked by walls and the sealing was surprisingly good. The fire did not spread in. Only some thick smoke poured in due to Jie Nanshi's action of opening the door. Coupled with the fire above, the entire darkroom became as stuffy as a steamer. Du Anchen quickly closed the secret door and subconsciously waved the thick smoke in front of his eyes with his hand.

Once the secret door is closed, no light from the outside can come in, and the entire secret passage is dark. Soon, a weak firelight lit up from the direction between Jie Nanshi's fingers. It was a piece of talisman paper. Although it was burning with flames, except for the top piece, there were no traces of burning on the rest of it.

"When did such a place exist?" Du Anchen looked back at the talisman on Jie Nanshi's finger and muttered, looking around. This is a downward passage with candlesticks hanging on both sides of the passage. Only a small section of the candles on them are left at the bottom.

Jie Nanshi flicked it casually, and the light of fire in his hand ignited the remaining candles at both ends of the wall, and then quickly walked to the end. The first thing that came into view was the enshrined statue of gods and ghosts. Kneeling under the statue of gods and ghosts was the owner of the incense and candle shop who had never been seen. His motionless figure looked quite strange.

"Already dead." Du Anchen just glanced at it and subconsciously withdrew his gaze. A person who has dried up long ago cannot be alive, and the corpse does not look good.

Xie Nanshi didn't feel much, so he walked to the corpse and checked it out. From the outside, the man didn't have any internal injuries. It seemed that all the water in his body had been drained directly from the body and turned into a mummy, but the appearance on his face There was no ferocious look on his expression at all. Instead, he seemed to have gotten his wish, and the way he faced the ghosts and gods with piety was indescribably mysterious.

Faced with such a strange corpse, Xie Nanshi still inspected it very carefully, without showing any disdain or impatience. After confirming that no evil spirit remained on the other party's body, he stood up again, wiped his fingers carefully with a handkerchief, and then discarded the handkerchief directly.

After he finished all this, he couldn't help covering his lips and coughing twice, and then he turned his attention to the strange double-faced ghost statue. To the naked eye, it was just an ordinary bronze statue. It seemed that there was no Any questions.

But if there is no problem anywhere, where does the vague evil spirit come from?
