Chapter 80 The Wandering Travel Group (XI)
Originally, when Bei Xi heard about the special mission, he was a little puzzled, after all, the real bride had already passed away.
How can they see each other?
Then they met the past A Liu, and Bei Xi thought that the so-called meeting was in this way.
Until now, A Liu has appeared like this.
Bei Xi had just tidied her appearance with her own hands. Although it was only an image in the past, Bei Xi still remembered the scars on her body and her torn body clearly.
However, A Liu, who was standing not far in front of the two of them at this moment, was clean both in body and face.
Nan Huan obviously noticed this as well, but she didn't think the system would create a fake bride.
After all, judging from the information currently available, this copy is obviously a supernatural copy.
The villagers they originally thought were all human beings were actually ghosts who had died long ago.
It was not surprising that A Liu had no scars on his body.
What concerned Nan Huan even more was that the emotion in her eyes was completely different from before.
She was first humiliated and abused by the villagers, and then brutally killed. No normal person would be so calm.
Especially outside here, the red lines that the black shadows are attached to are radiated from the black wooden board.
In other words, A Liu was actually helping the villagers in disguise to deal with the players.
Even for the most generous person, it would be difficult to achieve this, right?
The way he asked the question just now, and the way he was trying to recall it with a frown but to no avail, was like—
"You had something to ask of us, don't you remember?"
Nan Huan tried to ask. Based on her previous experience with special side quests, there would usually be some relevant clues.
And now that the bride is in front of him, he has this opportunity and he must ask clearly first.
And from the situation she and Bei Xi saw just now, she always felt that the most important link seemed to be missing in the middle.
It's obvious that Ah Hua's behavior before and after was very different. Nan Huan didn't quite believe that he really came to his senses after Ah Liu left. He always felt that there was something strange about all these things.
After hearing this, Ah Liu covered his chest with his hands and said with an embarrassed expression, "My memory is not very good."
His two beautiful eyebrows twisted together, and he thought carefully for a long time but didn't get any answer. "I can't remember a lot of things. I just remember that I still have one important thing to do. It's very important."
She emphasized it again, then raised her eyes timidly and looked at Nan Huan and Bei Xi, "Did I ask you for something before? And why am I the only one living here? Is there no one else?"
As expected, bad premonitions are always so accurate.
Nan Huan was rarely speechless when asked such a question. Although she didn't know much, one thing was certain, that is, A Liu was definitely dead.
But it was obvious that A Liu in this state was not aware of this problem at all, and she could not even remember those painful memories.
This might be a good thing, as Nan Huan heard the true voice hidden in his heart.
But she didn't know whether the current situation was intentional or accidental.
"How long have you been here? How much do you remember?" Nan Huan did not answer A Liu's question directly, but changed the question to divert the other party's attention.
"It seems like a long time. I have been here since I got up from that big black wooden box. But it seems that there are no people here."
A Liu was still very happy that someone suddenly appeared here, coupled with the familiar smell of Nan Huan.
She had no suspicion of the two people, and she didn't think they were bad people, so she answered all the questions and provided some off-site clues. "But before I woke up from here, I seemed to have made a deal with someone. She said she would help me complete that important thing. I agreed, but I don't remember what she asked me to do."
As if she noticed that Nan Huan and Bei Xi were very interested in how she appeared here, she told them everything she could remember in one breath.
Nan Huan's expression paused. The large black wooden box not only reminded her of the black wooden board wrapped with red thread on the table in the main house, but also reminded her of another situation.
The other piece of information provided by A Liu left both of them somewhat puzzled.
I don’t know who this person is who suddenly came out to make a deal, and he just recalled it from his past memories.
They discovered that after A Liu's death, all the villagers of Fengmenling were killed by A Hua in the name of revenge. The one who wanted to make a deal with her was obviously not A Hua, and even less like a human being.
After all, if it was Ahua, if he had the ability, he could just let A Liu stay with him, why would he go through so much trouble.
"Do you remember what that person looks like? Is he a man or a woman? Have you seen him before? Or do you remember any characteristics?"
Bei Xi originally thought that the whole story had come to an end with A Liu's departure.
But now they found out that this might not be the case. Someone made a deal with A Liu and turned Fengmen Village into this state on purpose to lure them here.
Bei Xi doesn't believe in coincidences, and believes that someone did it on purpose.
Ah Liu shook his head a little embarrassedly, with an embarrassment on his face, "I don't remember anything, I just remember that the other person's hand also had a similar smell to yours, but it was a little different."
She turned her gaze to Nanhuan, as if considering what words to use to express her meaning so that the other party could understand.
"Hmm... just like the smell on your body, it comes from your blood, but the smell on the person who made a deal with me is more like it came from someone else. The smell is lighter and not her own."
Well, the more I ask, the more confused I get.
Bei Xi understood what he heard, which meant that the person who made a deal with A Liu was most likely not just one person.
I have said everything I can remember that needs to be said.
A Liu seemed to have sensed something and stood there looking back.
"It's time. I have to go back." She turned her head to look at the two of them and smiled easily. "If what I want to do is difficult, then forget it. It shouldn't be something too important, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten it."
The expression on her face was relaxed; that was the Liu that Nan Huan had never seen in his memories.
Nan Huan didn’t know whether it was the system settings or some other reason that gave A Liu such a peaceful space so that she no longer recalled the pain of the past.
She didn't know whether this was a good thing or not, and was still struggling with whether she should tell the other person the truth after she found out what the other person wanted to do.
A ray of light flashed before their eyes, covering both her and Bei Xi.
When the dazzling light faded away, the two of them had returned to the main house.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi's hands were still in the same position as before, clasped on the black wooden board.
The wooden board was clearly wrapped in red thread, but it exuded a chill that made Nan Huan shiver uncontrollably.
They saw so many scenes in their memories, but the countdown on the panel had only been twenty minutes. Adding the time they were entangled by the ghost before, there was still half an hour until three in the morning.
No one knew what Nan Huan was thinking. Ever since he met A Liu, his eyes had been fixed on the black wooden board, as if he was deep in thought about something.
"Let's find the other party's body first. I've memorized the eight locations just now. I'll take our people to look for it first. Is it okay for you to stay here alone?"
Through past scenes, they knew the relationship between the corpse and the willow tree. Bei Xi knew that in order to complete this side quest, they must first find A Liu's corpse.
And she had already memorized these places.
However, there are eight locations in total, and now, apart from the main house, other players outside have to fight with ghosts and be attacked by red lines.
In order to save time, Bei Xi decided to do it herself, but she was a little worried about Nan Huan.
"Well, I can do it on my own, just be careful."
Nan Huan came back to her senses temporarily. She knew that there was not much time left for the side quest. Even if she had doubts in her heart, she could still prioritize.
"Just stay in the house. Wait until I come back if you have anything to say. If there is any emergency, use the communicator to contact me."
There was no trace of Nanhuan’s blood inside the main house, the red lines would not give way at all, and no one else could come in.
So instead of taking Nan Huan to find the body, it would be safer to leave her here, but the premise is that the other party does not take risks herself.
Obviously, the experience in the last copy made Bei Xi suffer from separation anxiety, so she could only explain again and again.
"I promise. I really do."
Nan Huan was a little amused and almost wanted to swear with his finger.
"I'm Bei Xi. We found clues about the willow tree. Here are descriptions of several places. Listen carefully to me and then find a place nearby with two people in each group."
After Bei Xi confirmed that Nan Huan really heard everything he said, he walked out of the courtyard and connected the communicator to communicate with the remaining four people, "There is something buried there. Be careful when digging. Don't damage it, and don't get scared."
She gave a brief explanation and then began to describe the features of several remote places she had seen in the past.
The Fengmenling where they were now was broken up, so she had to describe the characteristics of those places as detailed as possible.
Things like vines half a person's height, leaf shapes, three steps away from the tree, etc.
Nineteen and Lingyue didn't have any questions. After Beixi finished describing everything, they had already found a nearby location and prepared to rush over.
After all, the former was already accustomed to Beixi's orders, and the latter knew that Beixi was someone Nanhuan could trust, or perhaps such a situation had already happened in the future that she had already foreseen, so she did not feel confused.
As for Ah Kong and Ah She, the former is a real person. Since they have become grasshoppers on the same rope, she believes that Bei Xi will not deliberately deceive them.
Especially since the two of them had fought off batch after batch of ghosts, but had never seen the shadow of a willow tree in any corner of the village, they knew that this side quest was not easy. It was obvious that Bei Xi and Nan Huan had much more clues than them.
Ah She was more curious, especially when he heard Bei Xi solemnly asking them to treat the things buried in the soil, he couldn't help but ask, "What is buried in the soil that requires such caution?"
"The body can lead us to Willow's body."
Bei Xi did not hide it. On the one hand, she was worried that if she didn't explain it clearly, someone might accidentally hurt A Liu.
On the other hand, now that cooperation has been reached, appropriate information sharing is still necessary.
Ah She had never expected such an answer. He was choked and didn't say anything for a long time.
About five minutes later, Nineteen and Lingyue had found the first place.
"President, we have found the part inside the field and are preparing to go under the date tree."
Nineteen carefully put the body he dug up into his own warehouse. After reporting to Beixi, he was about to go to another place, but was grabbed by Lingyue's sleeve.
As a result, when she looked up, she saw the doll and a few players standing on the path they had to pass.
Doll was not stupid. When her people searched the entire village and still couldn't find the willow tree, she knew there must be some triggering conditions.
A step slower, they also discovered some houses where red lines gathered.
But they don't have Nan Huan's good luck, nor do they have her God-given ability.
No matter what, they couldn't get into the house where the red lines gathered, so naturally they set their sights on Nineteen and the others.
When everyone was confused and didn't know what to do, Bei Xi and her group seemed to be looking for something in an organized and disciplined manner. It was obvious that they must have a clue.
It’s just that Nineteen’s ability is very strong, and the doll didn’t dare to follow too closely for fear of being exposed.
After discovering that the other party had really dug something out of the field and confirming that if he didn't act now he would be beaten to it, he had to show up.
As the spokesperson for a guild, Nineteen always has a peaceful smile on his face, which always makes other players misunderstand that he is easy to approach, and even ignore the fact that he is the most capable vice-president of the guild.
Players who have played dungeons with her know that when this vice president doesn't smile, it is often when she wants to or is about to launch an attack.
Nineteen did not show any surprise at the appearance of the doll, as if he had expected it.
She just reached out and pulled Lingyue behind her, staring at the four people in the distance cautiously.
Except for Doll who made it into the top 50 in the player rankings, the rest of the players were outside the top 50 and were not to be feared. It was just that the opponent had twice as many people as them.
"I think even if I told you to hand the things over to me, you wouldn't listen given your loyalty to the guild leader. But I am looking forward to fighting you. After all, I didn't expect that your personal skills would be very compatible with our guild, huh?"
Among the several players led by the president, except for one person who had never been heard of before, only Nineteen had the strongest combat power.
And the doll has always been looking forward to fighting against Nineteen, so when he was with others, he volunteered to come here.
At this time, there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
After all, personal skills are tailored to the players, and I really can't imagine why the president of a guild would have such a skill.
But it was obvious that Nineteen did not take the other party's provocation to heart, and he did not have time to listen to their nonsense here.
Before the doll even finished her words, she felt a gust of hot wind blowing towards her.
She took out a fan from somewhere and covered her mouth and nose with it, while at the same time, she took a few steps back.
She tried to prevent the hot wind from blowing something into her face, but surprisingly, the hot wind stopped right where she had just landed, as if it had been planned.
Then a layer of red powder fell in the air, trapping them all in it.
In this strange scene, it was as if a red rain was falling, and it looked somewhat romantic.
She looked up at Nineteen's retracted hand, somewhat puzzled.
He sniffed again and found that the powder, apart from having a fishy smell, was non-toxic and would not cause any harm to humans.
"What do you mean? Do you think you are no match for me, so you are ready to surrender?"
Yangwa had been taken advantage of by Nanhuan before, and now that she couldn't find him, she had to make up for it on Shijiu.
Nineteen pretended not to care and clapped his hands. When he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Who said it was for you?"
After she said these words, she immediately took Lingyue and ran in another direction.
The doll seemed to realize that something was wrong and was about to give chase when it was surrounded by the pursuing ghosts.
What Nineteen left behind was powder made from ground animal blood, which was full of yang energy and was the favorite thing of this group of ghosts.
They rushed forward and found that there were a few living people left alone. Human blood is much better than animal blood.
Those red lines wrapped with black air immediately surrounded them without any order.
The doll had no time to chase Nineteen. She was too busy dealing with the ghost in front of her. She was angry and resentful, and she also had to be careful not to be bled by the red line.
Nineteen, who had shaken off the pursuers, quickly found the body parts of the second and third A Liu.
Bei Xi was the fastest and had already found three places by himself.
A She and A Kong, who were the slowest, found one and are now in the last position.
"Chairman, are you sure you are in this position?" A'She's voice sounded a little tired. She was still injured and due to the limitations of the system, she could not get treatment, so she was breathing heavily.
"In the field behind the courtyard with three gaps, on the fifth ridge?" She wiped the sweat off her face and expanded the scope a little bit. "But I have dug almost a foot deep and found nothing."
The first part that Ganchai and Akong found was not hidden so deep. Seeing that time was running out, she became a little anxious and hurried to confirm with Beixi.
“The location is correct.”
Bei Xi's voice was a little calmer, but she was also a little confused as to why there was none.
"When you went there, were the fields dug up?"
Bei Xi suspected that it was discovered by other players by accident.
"No, the whole field is fine. No one has touched it for a long time. The weeds have grown very tall. No one has definitely touched it." A She was very sure. After all, as soon as she arrived, she checked the surrounding environment.
"Maybe I remembered the wrong location?"
She swallowed and asked uneasily. Although she shouldn't doubt it for a while, it was a possibility after all.
Before Bei Xi could say anything, Nan Huan joined the conversation on the communicator, "I'm not mistaken, I remember it was here too."
Her voice was the most stable, and it was easy for people to calm down after hearing it. After a pause, she continued, "Take a look, which part is missing?"
After a brief tap, Bei Xi gave the answer, "It should be the heart."
Nan Huan was not surprised. "I may know where the missing part is."
