The welcoming ceremony, I thought it was just a swing of branches, followed by a collective punishment of standing.
Unexpectedly, the swinging of branches was secondary. For an hour, they followed the residents and listened to the sounds coming from the middle of the pond.
Music to be precise.
Although everyone does not understand the language, they can feel the shock conveyed by the melody.
It is not grand in the traditional sense, but the excitement coming from the depths of the soul.
Divine music, coming from far away from the center of the pool, seems to be able to purify people's hearts and cleanse their souls.
Xin Zhixia's later critical comment was: Listening to this music, I always feel like my body is imprisoned, and I can hardly feel the passage of time.
Also out of control is the brain.
Halfway through, she suddenly came back to her senses and remembered that she was in a copy.
Under the strong psychological influence, Xin Zhixia cheered up and chose to verify her specific identity.
[Your current specific identity verification is completed. 】
[Your current specific identity is: Frigga’s first apostle. 】
Seeing the result, Xin Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the other three people.
The three people's collective eyes were dull, and their eyes reflected the scenery in front of them.
Xin Zhixia rubbed her eyebrows and patted Qiuqiu on the shoulder, but it failed to elicit any reaction from her.
He frowned and simply pinched the ball.
Qiuqiu suddenly came back to his senses. Before his eyes could clear up, the sound of Xia Zhi could be heard in his ears.
"Verify your specific identity."
Qiuqiu was stunned, then nodded and followed the instructions.
Still looking dumbfounded, he replied: "I am number one in the light camp."
Xin Zhixia nodded, then raised her wrist to look at the time. It was only two minutes before the copy ended.
He complained speechlessly, "It's really evil."
There has been no sound of balls in my ears.
Xin Zhixia tilted her head in confusion, and what she saw was the person who had become dull again.
After realizing it later, I turned my attention to the other residents and found that everyone in the room, including the maids around me, had dull eyes, like a group of unconscious dolls.
Xin Zhixia was so shocked by her own thoughts that a chill ran down her back and her whole body tensed up.
Is this definitely a messenger from the gods?
It's no big deal to say he's a seductive siren.
The most terrifying thing is that if everyone breaks in by mistake in this dungeon and they fail to clean up the other players, they will be controlled here and unable to move for an hour.
This means that the specific duration of the limited-time copy has been shortened.
If the player refers to the game time limit and wants to get stuck at the last minute, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Xin Zhixia looked towards the center of the pool from a distance, narrowed her eyes, and her expression became solemn.
Now there is another puzzling point.
"Why am I awake?"
The next moment this sentence rang in her heart, she actually replied to herself in a funny way.
"Because I'm different."
Xin Zhixia shook her head and sneered, mocking herself for being too confident.
The next second, a system prompt sounded in my ears.
[[The Divine Contagion in Odin Town] copy has ended. Congratulations to 0000199 players for successfully passing the level. 】
Xin Zhixia did not look down, but when she saw that the people around her were still like puppets, she simply stretched out her two hands and pinched the two people next to her.
Xiaobai and Qiuqiu both tilted their heads and looked at Xia Zhi.
If it were before, Xin Zhixia would definitely have laughed out loud when she saw the two of them looking dumb.
But she was not in the mood at this time.
Listening to the music that was still playing in the middle of the pool, Xin Zhixia frowned, moved closer to the two of them, and couldn't help but turn up the volume.
"Click [No] and stay in the copy!"
Qiuqiu should be well-behaved.
Xiaobai blinked and nodded blankly.
"good!"
After replying, he smiled.
Xin Zhixia's eyebrows jumped and she held her forehead, "It's over, another one is crazy."
He shook his head helplessly and read the contents on the panel.
[[God’s Contagion in Odin Town] Dungeon Settlement Interface:
Game result: Passed.
Number of people cleared: 4 people
Special benefits: settlement in progress...
Game rewards: settlement in progress...]
[You can stay in the dungeon for 1 hour after the end of the dungeon, and you will be forced to leave at that point. 】
[Do you choose to leave now? [whether]】
Xin Zhixia, as always, clicked [No].
Although the option never showed a countdown, she felt that if she had this option, there would definitely be a default situation.
If you don't make a choice, you should leave by default.
That's why she pinched the two people awake first and asked them to click [No].
Thinking of this, Xin Zhixia turned her attention to the two people again, and then she fell silent.
I thought that although they were abnormal, they should be awake.
Unexpectedly, their eyes only became clear for a moment before returning to their original state.
Xin Zhixia felt reassured as she listened to the music that was still coming from the center of the pool.
"It seems that if the music doesn't stop, people can't return to normal."
After being speechless for a moment, he turned around and saw the intact Yuan Wu disappearing.
Xin Zhixia raised her eyebrows and immediately confirmed.
Sure enough, if you don't choose, the copy will be sent out by default.
Then Xin Zhixia looked from afar.
What came into view was a vast sea of people, which now looked like a group of human sculptures.
I thought it was a good thing that they were standing here without any residents nearby. Now it seems that this huge crowd of people still hindered her business.
I saw that the two sculptures of Xiaobai and Qiuqiu were far away from the shore, so they would not slip and fall into the pool and sink to the bottom.
Xin Zhixia sighed and headed towards her destination.
The crowd couldn't flow, so Xin Zhixia had no choice but to make a big circle or push through the crowd and move forward at a fast pace.
pick one of two.
Xin Zhixia didn't want to choose any of them.
In the end, I resigned myself to my fate and chose the first one.
In the past, I stayed in dungeons to increase NPC favorability and take advantage of opportunities to obtain props. But now, what she is looking forward to more is whether she can verify her conjecture.
After all, the two yellow warnings at the beginning and the inability to contact the NPC meant that she could not win beautifully.
If you mess it up at the right time, it won't be a big problem.
Such a natural mentality made Xin Zhixia's journey not miserable.
She almost walked half a circle around the huge town.
Even though he quickened his pace and occasionally jogged, it still took nearly half an hour by the time he reached the road that led directly to the center of the pond.
Xin Zhixia set foot on that road with a subtle mentality, focusing on the building in the center of the pool.
It is a house and a pavilion.
There is a faint stream of light all around, which is faintly isolated from the outside world.
When she saw the four NPCs sitting in the pavilion and drinking tea comfortably, she still couldn't manage her expression properly and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Frigga seemed to feel something and turned her head to look out the door.
The moment he saw Xin Zhixia, the expression on his face was even worse than hers.
His eyes were shocked and no longer elegant.
"Ms. Xia Zhi, why are you here?"
Xin Zhixia tilted her head, pointed at the bracelet, and grinned, "Dear Ms. Frigga, time has passed. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"
Hearing this, the other three NPCs also followed Frigga's gaze and turned to look over.
Before they could say anything in surprise, the door of the house next to them opened.
"Squeak"
Everyone looked over there.
The four NPCs stood up one after another and saluted respectfully.
"Lord Messenger."
What responded to them was a cold and steady female voice.
"Um."
The visitor turned to face Xin Zhixia, lifted up his gorgeous dark purple cloak, revealed his delicate face, and smiled.
"Hello, Miss Xin Zhixia, it seems that we are indeed destined to meet again."
After seeing the envoy's face, Xin Zhixia's heart inevitably fluctuated.
Then he confirmed his previous confident remarks in his mind, "It seems it's really because I am different."
