They stopped listening attentively to Chu Liang's increasingly absurd and off-topic thoughts.
At this point, after Blanco's somewhat hesitant response...
Led by him and Sandy, Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang headed towards the location of the wheat field that had been completely devoured.
The group remained silent the entire way, each lost in their own thoughts.
Blanco and Sandy were thinking about how to quickly lure Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang to the insect nest house.
Because Chu Liang felt that he had just exposed a certain "conspiracy", he stopped talking and communicating with Blanco.
Gu Xinghe felt that he was now somewhat like a behind-the-scenes organizer, secretly listening to the inner thoughts of the others.
You could tell from the fact that Blanco and Sandy were already standing outside the door when you opened it.
Their eagerness to use the lives of outsiders as food to feed the insects hiding in the town was already quite urgent.
From the conversation just now, where Blanco tried to lead them directly to the Zerg hive but was politely refused, it's clear that...
Gu Xinghe understood why the other party was so anxious—
The reason is that the words "insect plague" have different meanings for the two groups of people.
For the detective, a newcomer to the town, this is a mystery waiting to be solved.
But for the townspeople living in the small town, they knew that the insect infestation was actually a signal.
A swarm of insects has become so hungry that it has come out to hunt for food, and these insects should also send a signal to each other to bring new food.
This is also why insect infestations have been frequent in the town of Wheat Field in recent years, and after this disaster...
The people in the town would then, as if receiving a signal, hire detectives from outside to investigate the cause of the incident.
A pest infestation occurred in the wheat fields, which subsequently led to a crop failure in the town.
It's more like these insects that are devouring the food are sending out a signal that "we are hungry."
So, led by Mayor Blanco and Deputy Mayor Sandy, they would hire detectives from outside the town to investigate.
Guide them to the actual insect hive house and offer them fresh meat as food for the hungry swarm.
In his earlier investigation, Gu Xinghe also learned from the minds of Blanco and Sandy—
The time interval between insect swarms emerging to hunt and causing insect plagues is getting shorter and shorter.
That's why Blanco and Sandy, who are also well aware of this, are acting so urgently now.
Three days.
This time was learned by Gu Xinghe from Blanco and Sandy, who were already subtly influenced by the swarm's mental pollution.
In other words, no matter how much he tries to refuse, he would have better go to the house that has been turned into an insect nest within three days.
Otherwise, they might be forced to go there by being "accompanied" by everyone in the town.
Therefore, this should also be the reason why the main quest in this game instance has no time limit.
As time goes by, the players are still in the town.
You will naturally feel the necessity and urgency of taking the initiative to complete the task.
Moreover, the three-day time limit has obviously been reduced to its current state after many cuts.
Let's assume that he and Chu Liang also fail to resolve the insect infestation in the town this time.
Perhaps the next detective invited by the townspeople won't even have time to rest at night.
Instead, they were taken directly to the insect hive house for an exploration as soon as they entered the town.
It is conceivable that if this continues, the swarm will inevitably become increasingly greedy.
The people in Wheatfield Town may no longer be able to "fish" and wait for outsiders to come to them as they do now.
Instead, they will choose to become "hunters," voluntarily leaving the town to hunt prey for the insect swarm.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that they left voluntarily, unlike the group that decided to move away from the town.
Instead, they chose to continue living in this small town.
Even if they don't appear to have become insects physiologically or have undergone any physical changes.
But in reality, the people living in this town are constantly being affected mentally.
They've even started thinking in the way insects think.
The swarm of insects hidden in this town appears to have produced no mental pollution or eerie effects.
Monsters that can coexist as long as they are provided with enough food.
But rather, the townspeople who accepted this idea have actually developed a certain degree of distorted thinking.
The desire to live in a town where one doesn't want to move away, but instead wants to coexist with the insects, is also a form of spiritual pollution.
Under this subtle influence and adaptation, the remaining residents of the town gradually transformed into the shape of a swarm of insects.
This is a form of mental pollution, a kind of thought virus that will continue to spread and deepen the "symptoms".
At this moment, Gu Xinghe also came to his senses—
The two male detectives who came this time were indeed quite handsome.
Therefore, he had heard Sandy's strange inner thoughts earlier.
Is it actually the kind of thinking that would occur under the influence of the swarm of insects hidden in this town?
Why would the insect swarm want good-looking men to come to the town?
Could it be because... he's a picky eater?
Although this guess seems a bit far-fetched and exaggerated.
But after careful consideration, Gu Xinghe felt that this did not seem to be entirely unreasonable.
After all, don't humans also demand that food be visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious?
