The rain never stopped; even in the evening, it was still drizzling outside. The only constant was that there were still no pedestrians on the road.

At this moment, Mingmei noticed that Qihaikui and the others were getting impatient and were planning to head to the Zhang residence, so she had no choice but to follow in their footsteps.

However, given that a group of little devils surrounded them, Mingmei did not stay close to them, but instead trailed behind them at a distance.

To prevent a sudden "face-to-face" encounter, Gui Gui even helped Ming Mei keep an eye on the surroundings.

However, Mingmei, who was nearby, also noticed this, and she quickly asked Guigui to scan the entire town for her.

She was really worried because the insectoid creature hadn't shown itself yet. Mingmei didn't know why it had come to the newbie village. After messing with a bunch of NPC data, it seemed to be targeting not only Mu Chen's BOSS character, but also herself.

Mingmei felt wronged that she, a lunchbox seller, had caught the eye of that Zerg player and was being hunted down at the start of the game.

She could understand if the other party was targeting her because they wanted to target other players, but from Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, it was clear that Mu Chen was also being targeted.

It's understandable that she's being targeted, but it's not right to target the villainous BOSS in a proper way.

What is the purpose of this targeting?

[Host, there seems to be no unusual data flow throughout the town.]

After thoroughly scanning all the data in the town, Gui Gui did not find any strange data fluctuations.

You mean the bug isn't here anymore?

Mingmei felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Surely the insects wouldn't just run away after doing something without checking the consequences?

【Yes.】

What happened?

Mingmei chatted with Guigui, watching Qihaikui and the others gradually disappear into the distance. She quickened her pace, but after only a few steps, Mingmei realized something else—

"Wait, does the game map include areas outside of the town?"

Mingmei seemed to have overheard Zhen Hu talking about Qi Haikui saying that he was chased by evil spirits outside the town at the beginning of the game.

Is there any other area outside this town where people can go?

【have.】

Mingmei's reminder seemed to have reminded Guigui of something as well—www.cascoo.net

The Zhang family cemetery is located just outside Baishui Town.

In the original storyline, the player who played the feng shui master should have come to the town to give scores and do feng shui analysis. Before that, he saw the Zhang family ancestral grave surrounded by black mist outside the town. He calculated with his fingers and felt that something was wrong. So he entered Baishui Town and started the investigation story. He happened to witness the Bai family's young lady being married at night.

In the past, without the interference of the boxed lunches, and with the feng shui master dying prematurely, the ending that a non-xuanmen player might have been able to achieve was that they would eventually break into the Zhang family cemetery, dig up the evil spirit's grave, destroy the feng shui seal of the Zhang family's ancestral graves, and perish together with the evil spirit.

However, this storyline can only be created by the actress playing Miss Bai.

Gui Gui's last sentence is quite suggestive.

It means that if the character of Miss Bai were Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei probably wouldn't see this ending no matter how many times she played the game _(：3」∠)_

Lu Xiaoyao would cry her eyes out if she heard this.

Then you should quickly check the Zhang family cemetery.

【Host, please wait a moment.】

When Mingmei first entered the newbie village, it was her first time playing this role. At that time, she was nervous and inexperienced, and her range of movement was basically limited to the range of movement of the other players she had seen.

As for the feng shui master who died too quickly, since Mingmei had no contact with him, she naturally didn't know the cause and effect of his appearance. In addition, the plot development of Lu Xiaoyao and the others was disrupted by the lunchbox, and none of the group rushed into the Zhang family cemetery.

Therefore, the Zhang family cemetery outside the town was a place that Mingmei had never noticed.

[Host, you were right. There seems to be some strange data in the cemetery, but I didn't dare scan it directly. I feel that with my abilities, if it really is that Zerg, it's very likely that I'll be discovered...]

You actually think you're not good enough?

[Host, I'm just being self-aware; I have no other choice! Besides, if that guy were really that slow-witted, Mr. Yan Hui wouldn't have sent everyone in to look for him.]

Although Guigui was a little angry at Mingmei's questioning of her abilities, this was not the time for her to act impulsively. They, as artificial intelligences, also had their own social circles and information channels.

As far as he knew, it seemed that Lord Liu Liu had suffered a loss in the game, being ambushed...

These messages cannot be directly told to the host... He, a mere little AI, doesn't know all the ins and outs, much less tell Mingmei about these things he only partially understands.

How should I remind the players that there's a problem with their ancestral graves?

As Mingmei watched the two people ahead of her, who had been cautious and furtive when they left, now surrounded by forty or fifty little devils, their aura became increasingly domineering.

With an air of menacing menace as if she were about to snatch the bride, Mingmei instantly choked on the words she wanted to say.

Can she really count on these two people?

Mingmei doubted her teammates, and so did Mu Chen.

Although Lu Xiaoyao had been deceived by him, making them believe that they were under his control and obeyed his every word.

But the more this happened, the more Mu Chen doubted the intelligence of these three people. Could they really cooperate with his plan?

At this moment, Mu Chen missed Mingmei even more. Although he didn't know what Mingmei was doing, he was certain that she was also working hard to track down the insectoids.

But for the first time, he was still so passive. What if he caught that bug...

"Young Master, it's time to change your clothes."

The voice of the servant at the door brought Mu Chen back to his senses. Mu Chen's cold gaze swept over the expressionless paper effigy at the door.

He saw the black dotted line on the other person's body that only he could see. In the original game, this dotted line should have connected to the BOSS, but now the line was not on his side.

"Put the clothes there and you can go now."

The paper servant put the clothes away and instinctively avoided the spot where Lu Xiaoyao and the others had smashed a hole that was still dripping water. Mu Chen stared at the servant's back with narrowed eyes, seemingly pondering the level of consciousness awakening of the NPCs in this game.

It's important to understand that even though Yan Hui awakened the consciousness of the NPCs in the game, it wasn't all of them. Many seemingly intelligent characters were still quite foolish at the beginning.

In this way, knowing how to avoid one's weaknesses without being reminded by anyone is already far more "flexible" than the characters in the beginning.

What exactly does this Zerg player want to do in the game?
