Chapter 82 The Wandering Travel Group (Thirteen)
"Is this the way you said we could get out?"
Time is gradually returning to zero, and Miao Jiang no longer has any patience.
She originally thought that since Nan Huan could find clues in the yard, she could too, but that was not the case.
No one except Nan Huan could get close to the coffin. Nineteen just used Nan Huan's excuse that he could find the exit to allow the two sides to temporarily reach a reconciliation and maintain a delicate balance.
But just when Nanhuan was showing signs of success, it suddenly got stuck for some unknown reason.
"We can't just wait to die together like this, can you tell me the method and let someone else try it?"
Miao Jiang proposed in front of everyone. She couldn't tell whether the people in the guild were lying or something really went wrong.
But as time is getting closer, whether it is the fragments of the faith totem hidden in this copy or the two pieces that Nan Huan has already obtained.
Miao Jiang must ensure that he gets out of this side quest alive, otherwise everything will be meaningless.
She proposed this method on the one hand to test Nan Huan and the others, and on the other hand to get more information. After all, in this hour, they didn't get any useful information except being chased by ghosts.
The players standing behind Miao Jiang also became nervous for a moment, and seemed to be ready to take action at any time at the command.
Because of the death countdown, everyone is very nervous.
The entire sky has become dark, without a single light.
The shattered village was floating in the air, and no one knew how far it was from the ground. In short, it was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen clearly.
Alice and Nineteen brought their men to stand in front of Bei Xi, guarding against the enemy's desperate moves. Before the final moment, the players started killing each other.
Nineteen and Lingyue were very calm, as if they were not worried at all that Nanhuan would run out of ideas next. They also seemed determined that they would get out of here.
This atmosphere had some influence on Alice, making her feel a little more at ease.
After all, there is still a leader standing behind me. If I really can't get out, there are so many people buried with me. To some extent, it is worth it.
Bei Xi stood in front of Nan Huan, looking into the distance with a serious gaze, as if he was looking at other map fragments that were floating away.
Nan Huan's gaze paused on the coffin for a moment, as if he had the same thought as Bei Xi, and he also looked suddenly at several scattered maps around him.
But after a quick glance, he didn't find the piece he wanted.
In this dog game, I should be more alert, especially when the map is broken.
But now is not the time to curse, after all, the time has exceeded the last four minutes.
"No, I have to..."
Nan Huan took two steps toward the edge of the courtyard, and as he spoke, he was about to flap his wings, as if he wanted to fly into the air to find something.
Before he could make any move, Bei Xi quickly pulled him back and grabbed his wrist.
"We are running out of time. The few closest ones we can see are not the ones we can find, and some have already disappeared. If we keep searching blindly like this, we will run out of time before we find them."
Although he was speaking very seriously, Bei Xi's voice was very steady.
She just held Nan Huan's hand tightly, tightening it continuously, revealing her nervousness.
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Look for the large open space with the willow tree we saw when we entered the village on the fragments of the village map floating around. We need to move there with the coffin."
Bei Xi gave a brief explanation, and now everyone’s task was to just go in, regardless of whether others listened or not.
But he added solemnly, "If we can't find it, we will all die here together."
After being pulled by Bei Xi, Nan Huan finally calmed down from his anxious mood.
Normally, there will be no dead ends in side quests or games.
Even though the difficulty of the entire side quest increased due to the intervention of certain things or people, the opponent did not destroy A Liu's body, leaving all players with no way out.
But he only hid a part of her body, forcing Nan Huan to this step.
That means there must be another way to survive, but there are less than three minutes left.
Where is the way out? In such a short time, I want to quickly find a hiding place.
If I block the way to find this, who can I ask for help?
Need help?
Nan Huan suddenly felt the vibration on the virtual panel become more obvious, and she suddenly had an epiphany and thought of something.
Ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, he let the restless tour guide out of the prop.
The other person's hands were controlled by the maid's long hair, and he kept bumping around with his body, trying to attract Nan Huan's attention.
He was released suddenly and still had inertia, and almost stumbled and fell.
But because he was still wearing a mask and couldn't make any sound, he looked a little embarrassed.
Bei Xi seemed to understand Nan Huan's intention the moment she made her move.
He picked up the tour guide with one hand and straightened her body to prevent others from touching her shoulders.
"Get that map out, quick."
Nan Huan had no patience left. On the one hand, he felt that he was being forced into this situation, being pushed to this point by the game or someone else, and the person in front of him might also be a part of it, so he felt a little unhappy.
On the other hand, time is really running out.
"I know you can do it, and if you don't, I'll tap you on the shoulder before the side quest is over."
Others didn’t know what Nan Huan had suddenly gone crazy for. Why did he suddenly create a masked ghost? Besides, at this time, what was the point of asking a mute?
"Miss, have you lost your mind? Ask a villager who has turned into a ghost, and she will tell you that she wishes all of us could turn into ghosts and stay here forever."
Miao Jiang could no longer maintain her composure and self-control at this time. She yelled at Nan Huan. She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Nineteen and Alice.
Nineteen frowned. If it wasn’t the wrong time, she really wanted to deal with the person in front of her first.
However, Lingyue couldn't bear to see Nanhuan being misunderstood, "Shut up, you are the one who is crazy, that's our tour guide."
Although it was already a very dangerous moment, everyone should be thinking about where the willow tree was, where the safe area was, whether it would come out, and whether they could not escape this.
But it was obvious that this news was surprising enough for everyone except Nineteen, Lingyue, Nanhuan and Beixi.
After all, they have never seen a player so brave that he turned the main NPCs into ghosts while playing a game, and is still making threats.
When Ase and Ah Kong happened to meet Nan Huan and Bei Xi before, they had already finished, so they had no idea that one of the masked ghosts standing beside them was actually a tour guide.
Thinking about the fact that they had only just started the side quest, the two swallowed unconsciously and then felt very lucky. Fortunately, they were in the same camp as the eldest lady.
Alice knew even less about this matter. She found out that she was extremely wrong and it seemed like she had missed more than one episode of the plot.
And instantly, my admiration for the young lady increased.
The remaining players, including Miaojiang, naturally regarded Nanhuan as a tough guy.
However, Nanhuan didn't have time to deal with the chaotic scene here. After all, she was still concentrating on threatening the tour guide.
"Don't tell me you're not afraid of being tapped on the shoulder. Maybe before the ghost map collapsed, you weren't afraid because you were sure someone could save you. But now the situation is different. Once the Russian doll-like map collapses and you become a ghost, it's irreversible. Otherwise, you wouldn't have reacted so strongly when I was piecing together the coffin."
Nan Huan spoke very quickly. She explained everything clearly in just a few simple sentences, letting the tour guide know what she had figured out.
It also allowed the other party to confirm that his nickname was now firmly in his hands.
Threats alone were not enough, Nan Huan also talked about rules.
"Let's take a step back and say that even if you are a tour guide with a strong sense of responsibility and want to sacrifice yourself for a side quest, you still have to abide by the rules of the game and fulfill your duties as a tour guide, right?"
Nan Huan closed his eyes and recalled, "Do you remember the four rules you emphasized to us before the trip? Fourth, as a gold medal tour guide, you will provide high-quality service."
"Now that the tourists are in trouble, they are asking you, a golden tour guide, for some knowledge. Is this allowed by the rules? I'm not asking you to save our lives, I'm just asking you to find a place for us. It's not a big deal for you. We each get what we need. What do you think?"
The countdown has exceeded the three-minute mark. Nan Huan speaks very fast, but his pronunciation and intonation are very clear.
After saying this, she generously gave the other party five seconds to think, "5, 4..."
The moment she was counting, Bei Xi's hand had gradually approached her shoulder, as if he was going to take a picture of her.
It was clear that the masked man had no expression on his face, but from his slightly trembling body, it could be seen that he was not unmoved.
Nan Huan had just counted halfway when he quickly scratched a few words with his feet, "Wait..."
The countdown stopped, and Bei Xi's hand temporarily left the tour guide's shoulder.
He struggled with his hands, as if he was about to make some move. Nan Huan winked at the long-haired man, who was very sensible and only loosened his grip a little, but did not completely pull it away from his wrist bone.
Just making sure that the other person's hands could move freely, but keeping it around his wrists, just in case anything went wrong, tighten it again.
Fortunately, the tour guide seemed to have listened to what Nan Huan had just said. I don’t know whether he simply didn’t want to become a ghost and stay here, or was bound by the rules, or both.
The tour guide stretched out his hands and drew a few strokes in the air, as if he was writing or drawing talismans.
A moment later, a golden light flew out from his palm, slowly spreading and expanding, flying into the dark night sky.
A few seconds later, all the players heard the sound of breaking wind.
There seemed to be a sound of something huge flying past at a rapid speed. When she looked up again, she saw the large open space that disappeared to who knows where, being guided by a golden light, flying straight to the side of their courtyard.
"What are you still standing there for? Come over here quickly!"
Ah She was the first to react. After she jumped over with Ah Kong, she remembered that the most important coffin had not been moved in yet. She was about to come over to help.
Then I saw my own president wave his long arm, and the coffin slid over along the edge.
Nan Huan took Bei Xi and flew into the air above the open space, as if he had other plans.
The countdown enters the final minute.
It should be a dead object, but the coffin seemed to be able to really feel things.
As soon as it touched the land here, it emitted a dazzling light.
A green sapling suddenly broke through the ground where there was nothing originally.
In just a few seconds, the sapling grew into a towering tree, exactly the same as the one they first saw in Fengmenling.
However, A Liu in the coffin under the willow tree is aging at a rapid speed.
The flesh on her body began to rot, revealing her white bones.
Where the player is standing, there is a vague mark at the edge, which should be the so-called safe range.
【bite--
Warning, warning, the ghost hunting game map is collapsing, and all existence is about to be wiped out. 】
The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke loudly.
Before it finished speaking, all the players saw the maps that were originally floating in the air.
It was like pieces of biscuits that broke into crumbs in an instant and were blown away in the air by the night wind, leaving nothing behind.
From far to near, even the courtyard where they had just stayed was not spared.
The only thing left was the place where they were now staying, which had not changed at all.
As the countdown finally reached the end, the system finally responded again.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for completing the side quest - Couple's version of the ghost hunting game.
In this game, all eighteen players survive, and after five seconds all players will return to the real Fengmenling.
Due to the collapse of the map in this ghost hunting game, the data is being analyzed and the task rewards will be distributed later. 】
As the system broadcast again, Nan Huan saw that the edge of the open space began to blur and dissipate little by little.
A light gate appeared right in front of the willow tree and was moving slowly.
The players who were swept by the light gate have disappeared here, and they must have returned to the real Fengmen Ridge.
Nan Huan had already flown down from mid-air with Bei Xi and were at the end of the team.
After watching everyone else leave, Bei Xi took the lead and took out A Liu's body from the coffin.
The corpse is very light and weighs nothing.
But as soon as Bei Xi moved, the whole willow tree began to shake, and the red line that had disappeared just now spread out from the roots of the willow tree under the coffin and wrapped around A Liu's body, as if it didn't want Bei Xi to take her away.
Nan Huan was not surprised when he saw this, and even the movements of cutting the wound and letting the blood were very skillful.
The red threads entangled with the roots were bewitched by Nanhuan's blood and finally let go of A Liu's body.
Immediately after the light gate passed by, the two of them disappeared into the light with A Liu.
The huge willow tree seemed to have lost all its nutrients and was on the verge of collapse.
The open space, which was already unable to support itself, was completely turned into powder after a gust of wind blew.
All that remained was the endless dark night sky.
【bite--
Warning, warning, players cannot take important NPCs out of the fixed map.
Warning, warning, players cannot place important NPCs...
Warning, warning, players cannot...】
The blinding light made it impossible for Nan Huan to open his eyes. He could only hear the system in his head roaring with impotence and rage.
But strangely, only the first warning is clear and complete.
When it came to the second sentence, the system seemed to have a bad signal, it kept crackling and I couldn't even finish a sentence.
After the third sentence, it was like a phone call that was suddenly disconnected, and the call fell into a mysterious silence, with no more sound.
Nan Huan let Bei Xi hug his waist and touched her other hand.
It was confirmed that even though the system had ordered it to object, A Liu's body was still in Bei Xi's hands.
Normally, if something in the copy, whether it is a person, an item or even something else, is not allowed to be taken out, the system will force the player to put it down.
But the current situation is like the system is like an incompetent and furious kindergarten teacher, facing a group of disobedient children, who can only suppress them with words but it has no effect at all.
【bite--
It has been detected that important NPCs have been contaminated. 】
The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and finally ended with the system being contaminated.
Nan Huan waited for a long time and found that the system's words seemed to be just a declaration.
It doesn't say what happens to the NPCs after they are polluted, nor does it force the player to send the NPCs back.
It seems that he wanted to use this sentence to draw a conclusion for this absurd incident, and then it was over, without any follow-up.
The light that stood in front of the two people finally disappeared with the system's words.
The scene before my eyes became real.
Although the sky was still dark, it was not as pitch black as in the map. There were torches lit not far away, as if someone had left them there specifically for them.
The place in front of them was not unfamiliar. The place where they were staying in mid-air just now was this open space.
But the scene before them was a little different from before, and all the players who came out before them were staring blankly in the other direction with unspeakable surprise on their faces, as if they had been frightened by something.
While no one was paying attention, Bei Xi had already put A Liu's body into his own warehouse.
The people standing in a row in front seemed to have heard the movement behind them and turned to look at Nan Huan and Bei Xi.
The people from Miaojiang looked at the two of them with more fear, but some of them still had ulterior motives.
The people on their side can understand it better.
Except for Nineteen, everyone looked at Nan Huan and Bei Xi with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Nan Huan discovered that the tour guide who had just followed the players out of the side map had returned to his original appearance.
He was wearing a black suit, which was wide and slim-fitting.
With a loudspeaker on his waist and earphones on his ears, he looks exactly the same as he did at the beginning.
But after that side quest, there was obvious fatigue on his face.
And the look he gave them was indescribable, as if the dean saw students who were often naughty and had been punished.
"What did you do? Why did the willow tree suddenly disappear?"
