Chapter 76 The Wandering Travel Group (Part 7)
The village of Fengmenling is actually very large, and because of this mission, it is not very popular at the moment and seems particularly empty.
After Nan Huan understood the purpose of the game, he decisively gave up looking for any of the seventeen women.
Instead, he changed direction and prepared to look for something else.
But she didn't expect that this thing was hidden more secretly than she thought.
She walked along the way but didn't notice anything.
As for those empty courtyards that could be entered, there was no clue at all.
On the country road, the only sound was the rustling footsteps of Nanhuan.
She was not a timid person and did not find it that scary, but there were always gusts of cold wind in the village. After a long time, Nan Huan had to walk more and more lightly.
Just when she had been turning around for a long time without any results, and the pain in her shoulder was becoming more and more unbearable.
Nan Huan began to wonder if he had guessed wrong.
Just when she was hesitating, she realized that time was running out, so she should find a way to find Bei Xi first and discuss things with her.
She looked up and saw a wine flag hanging on the door of a house at the fork in the road.
Fengmenling is a self-sufficient village.
Nanhuan discovered it as early as when he was passing by the village on his way home with the village chief.
Every household has a basic skill. Some make tofu, some make wine, and there are also various small family workshops to meet the necessities of daily life.
The wine flag is not uncommon, it is rectangular with a yellow background and red edges.
Just below the wine flag, there is a small triangular flag of another color.
Both its small shape and pink color looked familiar to Nanhuan.
This is a glaring but somewhat concealed way of hanging something, as if you want others to see it but don't want others to see it at a glance.
Nan Huan confirmed his guess almost immediately.
However, she did not step forward to prove it immediately, but was thinking of a way to solve it without bloodshed.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to confront it head-on, but her physical condition doesn’t allow it.
Not to mention that she was injured, even if she wasn't injured, she would not be a match for the opponent, especially since he was the main NPC of this copy.
So Nan Huan could only outsmart others. Fortunately, what he had to do was not complicated, and because she was the first to think of this, she could take advantage of it.
She looked down at the large, wet bloodstain on her chest and was very satisfied with the effect Xiao Wang had brought.
Although it was painful when I was injured, it comes in handy now.
Nan Huan didn't spend too much time to make a hasty plan.
I have to take a gamble no matter what. It seems I have to take some risks.
After thinking it through, Nan Huan didn't hesitate and pretended that someone was chasing him and ran quickly.
He deliberately took heavy footsteps, and even his breathing became heavier.
In addition, her movements were already inconvenient, so the staggering feeling was even more realistic.
Nan Huan felt that his acting skills seemed to have been greatly improved in this dog game.
If she could scream, she felt that she would be able to make that pitiful sound right now.
She ran very hard to cover the distance of dozens of meters, but she thought that the man might be watching the situation secretly.
She ran to the destination courtyard without any hesitation, stumbling and holding her chest, and bumped into a simple wooden table.
Due to the need for business, the tavern does not have a solid courtyard.
There were just a few wooden tables and chairs outside the yard for the villagers to drink.
Nan Huan carefully designed the angle, and the tables fell down like dominoes.
In the midst of silence, there was a loud noise.
Nan Huan was breathing heavily and struggling in a pile of sawdust for a long time without being able to get up.
At the same time, she could feel that she was being observed, as if there was a pair of prying eyes in the seemingly empty room.
It never left my body when I stumbled into this courtyard.
She pretended to be unaware, turned over with great effort, and leaned against an overturned stool.
He tugged twice and finally tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, wanting to bandage the wound that had stopped bleeding.
However, it is particularly difficult because of the lack of skill in the movements and inflexible joints.
After finally finishing all this, Nan Huan's back was already soaked with sweat.
On the one hand, she had exhausted a lot of energy and was injured, so she was really powerless to complete these tasks.
On the other hand, she could feel that the annotation had not dissipated, and the cold sweat rose because of nervousness.
The atmosphere has been created, and we need to create some loopholes for the other party.
She turned her head and saw a large water tank not far inside the yard, which seemed to be where the owner of the yard stored water for daily life.
She held on to the stool with great effort and tried to stand up. It took her several attempts before she succeeded with shaky hands.
He had no choice but to use a stool leg as a crutch and limped towards the water tank.
The people inside the door really started to take action.
It was such a good opportunity, the prey had its back to him and was completely unguarded.
If you don’t take action now, are you waiting until the New Year?
Nan Huan was very nervous, but his steps were still unsteady.
She clenched her hands unconsciously at her sides, simulating the actions she would take later.
Things have developed to this stage, I can only hit the target with one strike. If I fail, she might have to die here.
There was no light at all in the pitch-black night sky.
Thick clouds covered the entire village as if hiding something.
In the main house of the tavern, a crack was opened quietly and without any sound.
The first thing that appeared was a pair of playful eyes that showed that the prey had come to the door on its own, flashing a sad light in the darkness.
Then he was wrapped in a suit, with a well-fitting figure, and his black leather shoes stepped on the mud without any sound, gradually approaching the unconscious prey in front of him.
Getting closer and closer to the water tank, Nan Huan already held his breath.
Although there was no movement behind him, Nan Huan could still feel someone approaching.
Her hands were already on the edge of the water tank, and her waist slowly bent down.
The timing is just right.
The person following behind him saw the opportunity and reached out to pat Nan Huan on the shoulder.
Prey that is within reach always makes it easy for hunters to relax their vigilance. The other party curled his lips and his sharp movements stirred up a slight wind.
Nan Huan's eyes lit up as he turned his back to the other person. He was always ready and naturally moved faster than the other person.
She first turned her shoulders to avoid the opponent's action, and at the same time, she scooped up the water with her right hand and threw it directly backwards.
The other party missed the target and before he could react, his vision was obscured by the water.
While he was screaming in his heart, Nan Huan had already put his backhand on his shoulder.
That was a solid palm.
After succeeding, Nan Huan did not relax his vigilance, but retreated first, put some distance between the two of them, and silently said something in his heart.
【bite--
Congratulations to Miss Player for completing the identity exchange with the human tour guide and turning from a ghost into a human. 】
The system's voice sounded somewhat gnashing, especially the word "tour guide", which seemed to be squeezed out of its throat.
It seemed unbelievable that when there were so many villagers to choose from, Nan Huan had to provoke the person in front of him.
But Nan Huan currently has no time to deal with the system.
Because she did not forget that the system said that there was no limit to the number of times a ghost could hit a person or a person could hit a ghost.
She needed to confirm another thing as soon as possible and take action.
Fortunately, her guess was correct. After returning to human identity, the restrictions of the virtual panel have been lifted.
As she silently chanted, the maid's long hair flew out, and while the other party was in a panic, it quickly wrapped around the other party's wrist.
The maid's long hair hadn't seen Nan Huan for a while. While obeying the other party's orders, she didn't forget to rub Nan Huan's face with boredom.
The consequence of being too enthusiastic was that Nan Huan, who was still injured after exerting force and relaxing his vigilance, was about to fall backwards if he couldn't stand firmly.
Fortunately, I was held firmly in a familiar embrace.
Bei Xi sensed something was wrong when the noise occurred.
Although the distance was far and the weather was dark, and Nan Huan deliberately pretended to be chased, Bei Xi still noticed something wrong from the other party's unique pace and behavior.
At that moment, she didn't care whether the person she pretended to be was Lingyue or not, she just wanted to meet Nanhuan as soon as possible.
Especially when I saw the blood on her chest, I knew she was injured.
But Nan Huan's strange actions still made her cautious.
As the other party continued to approach the room, as if luring someone, Bei Xi finally discovered the small triangular flag hidden under the wine flag.
She immediately understood what Nan Huan wanted to do and how risky this matter was.
But Nan Huan's ears had already been released, and if she appeared with Lingyue now, it would be very likely that she would interrupt the other party's plan.
She could only force herself to suppress her anxiety and slowly approach Lingyue without attracting anyone else's attention.
It was not until Nanhuan was ready to take action that they approached rapidly.
The opponent's strategy was very successful and the timing was very good.
If it weren't for the sticky hair, I wouldn't have almost fallen.
Bei Xi was still wearing the mask and couldn't speak, but that didn't stop her from speaking. She shot a sharp light in her eyes and looked at the hair with disgust.
The maid with long hair did not expect that the situation in Nanhuan would be like this. She knew that she was a little bit in the wrong, but she dared not say anything.
She didn't dare to use the end of her hair to hook Nanhuan anymore, and could only conscientiously tie the wrist of the man who was attacking her.
Nan Huan had already determined that the person in front of him was Bei Xi from the skill of the person holding him and the fact that even with the mask on, his flexibility did not seem to be affected at all.
She pulled Bei Xi's sleeve with some effort, asking her not to scare Changfa.
Bei Xi then turned his gaze back.
"I'm fine. I'm not seriously injured. I just put some effort into acting. I'm a little tired now."
The injury on her shoulder was not serious, just a little painful. She didn't want to make Bei Xi worry, so she hurriedly explained.
But the other person's eyes were always fixed on him, as if he was unwilling to hear such an explanation.
After a while, Nan Huan was defeated and hurriedly took out some medicine from the virtual panel for treatment.
Bei Xi waited until the wound on her shoulder blade healed completely before helping her stand up.
Nan Huan then noticed that in addition to the tour guide whose wrists were bound by long hair, there was also a masked player standing not far away.
"I'm Lingyue," the man saw that her wound had healed, and hurriedly wrote a few words on the ground, "You asked someone to open up a test field in the garden of a guild, hoping to grow some food for Aconitum."
The first sentence is a self-introduction, and the second sentence is to prove one's innocence.
Many players in the guild knew about the opening of the experimental field, but most people thought it was just a big shot who wanted to plant some flowers and plants.
Only a few people knew that they were going to grow Aconitum for food.
The players who entered the dungeon this time could not have known this news, so there was no problem with the identity of the person in front of them.
Moreover, no one else has such a straightforward style, and she took the initiative to explain everything without even waiting for Nan Huan to speak.
After confirming each other's backs, the three of them turned their gazes to the tour guide, who had his hands tied and was wearing a mask, and looked no different from the other players.
The other party finally came to his senses at this time, and seemed unable to believe that he had been tricked by Nan Huan.
There was hatred in her eyes and her hands were constantly struggling.
Compared to players, whose joints and movements become less flexible after putting on masks, this effect is not obvious on tour guides.
So when he first realized something was wrong and the other party seemed to have a lot of people, he wanted to run away.
But poor Xiao Tao didn't seem to expect that the long hair in his hands was quite powerful. It directly slowed down his movements and tied his hands tightly.
"Don't waste your energy, if you don't want to turn into a ghost immediately."
Nan Huan had been holding it in for so long and finally he was able to speak. Seeing the other party's indignant look, he felt very happy.
He also pretended to stretch out a hand and tentatively touched the other person's shoulder.
The tour guide immediately stopped struggling, as if he was intimidated by Nanhuan.
However, Nan Huan did not see any fear or terror in the other person's eyes.
At first, she couldn't figure out why there were only seventeen women.
If it's not a system bug, then there must be something I have overlooked.
The system said that all players are ghosts and all villagers are humans.
But in addition to the players and villagers, Nan Huan realized that there was another person who had been ignored by everyone because of his identity.
That is the tour guide, who follows the players to Fengmenling.
But it is obvious that the other party is not a player, so it can be confirmed that the other party is not a ghost.
As for the possibility that the other party might be a human, it was Nan Huan's guess at first.
But by the time she saw the hidden but not completely hidden guide flag, it was confirmed.
The guide flag is a hint given by the system. Since there is a hidden person in the village that the player is not aware of, corresponding clues will definitely be given in order to balance the difficulty.
From Xiao Tao's perspective, it is easier to understand.
For some reason, he had to join in the game and had to set the guide flag as a clue.
But in order to avoid being attacked by surprise or turned into a ghost, she chose a place that was exposed but not completely exposed within the existing rules.
If Nan Huan had not found out from the village chief that there were only seventeen women in the village and realized that something was not right, the other party might not have been exposed so quickly.
The game description says that if a person shoots a ghost, the ghost will turn into a ghost shadow.
This rule obviously also applies to tour guides, but Nanhuan is a little confused.
Why would the game allow an important NPC to fall into this situation?
If a travel copy does not have a tour guide, how can it move forward? Or the system will select another tour guide at that time, so there is nothing to be afraid of?
As a tour guide and NPC of this game, Xiao Tao must be very clear about his situation.
He did keep silent because of Nan Huan's words, but his attitude did not seem like he was afraid of anything.
The best way to deal with being photographed on the shoulder and turning into a ghost is to directly turn the other person into a ghost. This way you can solve the problem once and for all and no longer have to worry about being photographed.
I believe that most players have this plan in mind when they see the task description.
Nan Huan had made the same decision before, but now seeing Xiao Tao's reaction, she always felt that something was not right.
At the beginning, everyone would think that the player who turned into a ghost was at a disadvantage in this game.
This is because players think that all villagers are human beings, and first of all, players have no advantage in terms of numbers.
Furthermore, because of wearing a mask, movements are restricted, the virtual panel cannot be used, and personal skills are banned.
As long as the villagers unite, trap a player together, and pat their shoulders, the players will turn into ghosts.
No matter how you look at it, the players seem to be the weaker party and there is no possibility of resistance.
But after the strange wedding just now, many people will realize that not all villagers are human, only female villagers are human.
Just get through the wedding and find your partner.
Dealing with a few ordinary women should not be a difficult task for players who have been fighting in the game for so long.
In other words, the players who appear to be at a disadvantage are not actually at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, those who are tapped on the shoulders by players will become ghosts. Then how many people will be able to turn all these people into ghosts once and for all?
This should obviously be the correct answer to the task, but why does Nan Huan always feel that something is not right?
Bei Xi seemed to have noticed this as well, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Suddenly she raised her head and looked in a certain direction in the darkness.
Nan Huan was a little nervous. Now she was the only one who had recovered to her normal state. If other players also recovered, she might have to use her gift skills to protect everyone.
As if noticing her nervousness, Bei Xi squeezed her hand soothingly, because he already knew who the visitor was.
After a while, in the dark night, Nineteen came over with a few people tied with ropes.
She had returned to her normal appearance, with three women tied up with ropes on her hands, and a masked man walking over.
Nineteen was a little surprised to see that Nan Huan had recovered.
However, when she saw that the masked man next to Nan Huan also had his hands trapped and had not yet turned into a ghost, she knew that Nan Huan should have noticed something.
Beixi and Lingyue each patted a woman's shoulder and turned back into humans.
Now there are three masked ghosts and a normal woman. Nineteen had originally brought one person to each person just in case there were not enough people, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady was so quick.
She quickly told everyone else what had happened to her.
The process was similar to what Nan Huan and Bei Xi encountered, but she acted quickly. She knew that the president might go to find the eldest lady first, so she made every effort to find someone first. After turning herself into a human, she found three women in one breath before rushing to join everyone.
But during the process, I found something wrong.
"You mean, they didn't resist at all, and they didn't intend to take pictures of you?"
Nan Huan finally understood why Nineteen did not directly turn the person who had already turned into a ghost into a ghost shadow again, but instead brought him here cautiously.
Nineteen nodded, "Yes, and she also said that this was a relief for her."
This is also what Nineteen felt was not right. After all, this was an S-level copy. She had been very vigilant since the first side quest was released.
He knew that if he was not careful, he would take a wrong step, which would not only implicate the president and the eldest lady, but he would most likely lose his life.
So after she easily turned into a human, she did not kill all the ghosts and turn them into ghost shadows, but decided to reunite with them first.
As soon as Nineteen said this, Bei Xi and Nan Huan realized something at the same time, "Oh no..."
【bite--
It has been detected that the side quest has entered the second stage - Ghost Battle Royale. 】
