Chapter 549 [(*^▽^*)]
Rong Yuwen nodded; this explanation was actually quite reasonable.
"Where did this person go...? He left this place with a puppet doll, so he must have left on his own. Did he say anything beforehand?"
Everyone shook their heads. "This person is very withdrawn. He always wears a hood and mask, and he has never taken them off since the beginning of the dungeon. He is very mysterious and does not communicate with others."
"It's obvious at a glance that this person is strange. Maybe he was sent by the ghosts to be a spy for us players."
"The possibility is zero."
Why is it impossible?
"If the other side can produce puppet dolls and disguise props, they must be players. How could a spy sent by the BOSS possibly have any props to use?"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense. "Indeed... putting everything else aside, it seems that this puppet doll can only be purchased from the player's system shop."
Guo Xia suddenly blurted out, "Could he have gone to the evil god's temple by himself?"
"impossible!"
Guo Xia's words were immediately refuted: "The Evil God Temple is the BOSS's lair. What would he do there alone? Is he courting death?"
Guo Xia: "Maybe if I go quietly, the BOSS won't find out."
"That's possible. Does he have some special tool that allows him to get close over there without being detected?"
Rong Yuwen, "Did the surveillance cameras and detection devices you placed around the area react?"
Everyone shook their heads. "There was no reaction, and no one was photographed. This person must have special props to hide their whereabouts, which only they can use, so they went quietly."
"He's so selfless?"
"Where is the selflessness? If this main quest can be completed, he can also finish the game on his own, although he is helping us at the same time."
Some people also believe in conspiracy theories.
"I think this person might have run to a safe place on their own. Although the player's cabin is a safe house, half of it was burned down today, so it's obviously not completely safe here."
"Why it was burned, how it was burned, we still haven't found out. A lot of people must be very nervous and scared, right? What if it happens again, and we lose all our safe houses, wouldn't that be..."
"Alright, we don't even know if this person is dead or alive right now, so there's no point in saying anything here. We might as well go back and wait for him to come back."
Guo Xia didn't object. He really wanted to talk to Boss Fu Qingqiu about this, but there wasn't an opportunity right now. "Captain Rong, now..."
Rong Yuwen said, "It's late at night, and we can't split up to look for people or go to the Evil God Temple together to confirm, so... let's go back and rest first, and talk about it when it gets light."
Everyone naturally thought the same thing. No matter why Zhou Nanyue left quietly, her current whereabouts could not be determined with 100% certainty. Were they supposed to go out and search for her in the middle of the night?
No one would agree, and Guo Xia nodded after thinking it through, "Then let's go back and rest. If he comes back alive, we definitely have to ask him..."
Rong Yuwen: "That's for sure, all right!"
He clapped his hands lightly. "Everyone, go back and rest. There might be a tough battle tomorrow."
Everyone quickly returned to their own cabins, and Guo Xia's cabin seemed to become slightly more spacious now that one person was missing.
The corner that Zhou Nanyue used to occupy has now been taken over by someone else.
To be honest, this corner location looks pretty good.
Guo Xia checked the props in his backpack, then gave Guo Chengzheng a look. Guo Chengzheng was puzzled. He didn't know Zhou Nanyue, but he felt that Guo Xia seemed to be a bit obsessed with her.
He looked at her with a questioning gaze but received no answer. However, he knew that Guo Xia needed his help now, so... oh well! After all, they were on the same hidden mission!
To make Guo Xia leave quietly, it's actually quite simple. Guo Chengzheng has a device that can record a person's image and then fix it in the original position.
As long as no one comes over to touch them, they won't be exposed. Guo Xia is currently in the corner, and Guo Cheng is outside, which is just enough to block others from view.
If they were to go out, Guo Xia would have to work hard on his own. Of course, Guo Xia had already prepared the props. When he gave Guo Chengzheng a gesture that indicated he was ready, Guo Chengzheng returned the gesture.
"Very good," Guo Xia said with a smile, using his prop to disappear from the small house in an instant. At the same time, the spot where Guo Xia was standing returned to its original position.
A figure exactly like Guo Xia appeared over there, but no one around noticed it; it all happened silently.
Meanwhile, Guo Xia arrived at the home of a villager some distance from the safe house. As a player, he had already figured out all the places in the village where surveillance cameras were installed during the day.
He carefully left the village and spent half an hour getting to the familiar road. Since he didn't have the same concerns as other players, he used a speed potion and rushed forward.
Guo Xia didn't know when Zhou Nanyue left the safe house. He didn't dare to waste a single second and rushed forward frantically. With his night vision goggles on, the road in front of him became very clear. The black flowers, grass and trees around him rushed past without him even blinking.
Meanwhile, Zhou Nanyue had already arrived at the bridge with great caution. He looked at the bridge from a distance but did not cross it immediately. The bridge was too obvious, and he absolutely could not cross it.
And just in case, he absolutely cannot use any puppets, because once a puppet appears, neither he nor the puppet can see the ghost, but the ghost can see the puppet.
Once the BOSS discovers that a puppet has appeared here, he will definitely know that someone is nearby.
Zhou Nanyue carefully examined the detection device on his body. There were no ghosts around, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He then slowly walked away from the bridge and successfully crossed the river using the device on a narrower section. Once he stood on the other side, he looked at the bridge in the distance and stared intently at his detection device.
After hiding in place for three minutes without making a sound, he quietly returned to the path and continued walking forward.
There are some small flying gadgets around, just in case.
However, as expected, he walked forward and soon saw the evil god temple that Rong Yuwen and his group had destroyed.
When Zhou Nanyue saw the current state of the Evil God Temple, he was indeed shocked. He had thought that what Rong Yuwen and the others said about demolishing the temple and digging three feet into the ground but not finding the entrance was not an exaggeration, but the truth!
Rong Yuwen and his men really demolished the entire temple, not even sparing the walls. They piled up the stones and large blue bricks on the ground, and dug up the ground so that there was no place to even step.
He even saw fragments of some idols; the evil god statues had all been smashed.
Only after seeing it with his own eyes did Zhou Nanyue have to believe it: the evil god's temple truly had no entrance to the place where the stone coffin was placed. He sighed, "I didn't expect it to be true."
The detection equipment still did not react, indicating that there was no trace of ghosts in the vicinity.
Could it be that the village chief and his family were lying?
Wait a minute, Zhou Nanyue suddenly realized that there was no trace of ghosts around. Logically speaking, shouldn't the Evil God Temple be the BOSS's lair?
No, no, when and from whom did the idea that the Evil God Temple is the BOSS's lair come out?
They couldn't be 100% sure about this; it was just their guess!
The village chief's family said the stone coffin was placed underground behind the statue in the evil god temple, but judging from the current situation, it was clearly not here.
Either the village chief's family is lying, or... this evil temple is fake.
There can't be a real or fake temple of evil gods; there can only be one temple. So how do you explain that?
Zhou Nanyue looked around. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and the trees and shrubs were layered on top of each other, making it impossible to see clearly. There were no other paths either.
He's spent so much time getting here, and he even sneaked out of the safe house only to be discovered. It's really not worth it for him to leave empty-handed.
Zhou Nanyue began to search the surrounding area carefully, bit by bit, hoping to find something.
It was the middle of the night, and Zhou Nanyue didn't want to disturb the BOSS, who was somewhere unknown. If the BOSS found out, he would definitely not be a match for him alone. So, while he was investigating, he was still very careful, which resulted in his speed being very slow.
At the same time, Guo Xia rushed over here at top speed, passing by places where vengeful spirits gathered. The vengeful spirits didn't even glance at him, as if he didn't exist at all.
You should know that when Zhou Nanyue passed through here before, she took a long detour to avoid disturbing these vengeful spirits. If she had seen Guo Xia walk right through, she probably would have wanted to bite him to death.
It was precisely because Guo Xia passed through here that Lin Leyou quickly received this news.
The two were lying on the bed playing around when Lin Leyou suddenly said, "Guo Xia is here."
Xue Rui paused slightly, "What happened?"
Lin Leyou knew this, but Xue Rui did not.
"Guo Xia just passed through the area of vengeful spirits and is coming this way. He's moving very fast and seems to be in a hurry."
Xue Rui: "I'm going to find him."
Lin Leyou grabbed Xue Rui's hand, "Wait! Let's go out together."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
The place that was originally the temple of the evil god is now completely covered and hidden by dense vegetation. Even the small house is entangled by countless vines and cannot be seen at all, let alone the entrance where the stone coffin is placed. If you don't know the entrance, you can't find it at all.
The two emerged from the small house through the wall and floated in mid-air, intending to go find Guo Xia, when they suddenly spotted a figure in the distance!
Lin Leyou was startled, "This... there's actually someone here, when did this happen...?"
