Xia Xiyue found the clues but returned them to Shen Jue, a move that truly baffled others.
Gaining a clue for nothing, only to hand it over to someone else, is not Xia Xiyue's style.
At least Lin Jiao didn't think Xia Xiyue was that kind of person.
Shen Jue did not refuse. Her original intention was to let others know about the photos, and ideally, one of these people would be able to decipher the secret of the three photos.
[Congratulations! You have successfully guided the player to discover the clue in the photo. Story points +1.]
I gained one story point, and I still need 9 more.
Once you collect the remaining 9 story points, you can obtain a story fragment.
The next step, acquiring story points, will be a bit more troublesome.
The tutorial quest for this plot point is automatically triggered when she opens the door.
Otherwise, Shen Jue wouldn't have kept guiding his teammates to try exploring the photos.
Fortunately, the teammates who participated in the dungeon weren't completely stupid and were able to discover the secret in the photo.
Shen Jue noticed the hidden compartment in the photo at a glance.
Because of the guidance task at the time, Shen Jue did not check immediately.
Now, in front of everyone, we can unveil the protective layer of the photo.
Peeling off the protective layer, the note inside the photo fell out, and Shen Jue caught it with lightning speed.
Where is he?
Three blood-red characters appeared before everyone's eyes.
The handwriting was so strong it seemed to penetrate the paper, as if each stroke had been written with tremendous force.
"This note is from the photo of the beautiful woman. There should also be notes in the photo of the handsome man and the cabin. Shen Jue, quickly open them and see what information is inside."
Xia Xiyue discovered it, but Shen Jue noticed the hidden compartment in the photo even earlier.
The way Shen Jue peeled off the photos was quite skillful. The two layers of the photos were glued together, and it was easy to damage the things in the interlayer if you were not careful.
That's why Xia Xiyue returned the photos to their rightful owner and let Shen Jue handle the process.
The others also looked at Shen Jue expectantly; clearly, Shen Jue's act of revealing the photos had won their approval.
They might not be able to do the delicate work of peeling off the protective layer of a photo.
Therefore, let Shen Jue handle this delicate work.
Under the watchful eyes of others, Shen Jue unveiled the remaining two photos and obtained two slips of paper.
She's gone!
"A promise made under the moonlight."
"What is all this nonsense? It makes no sense at all..."
Xia Xiyue: "Although the clues left on this note seem to be out of place, they are still somewhat related when connected."
Lin Jiao: "Go on."
Xia Xiyue: "Based on the clues provided in the note, the man and woman may be a couple or a married couple. They both thought the other had disappeared. As for the agreement, it may have been made in a specific context."
Mu Sheng: "Xi Yue's analysis makes sense. Since we're already in the dungeon, we can't get out without clearing it. Everyone should just relax and rest here."
"As for the night watch, you girls will be in one group, and we boys will be in one group. We'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you'll keep watch for the second half. How does that sound?"
"no problem."
Lin Jiao originally wanted to be in a group with Mu Sheng, but she didn't expect that Mu Sheng had already arranged everything. Everyone had no objections to Mu Sheng's arrangements, so if she were to bring up anything now, it would be considered that she was being unreasonable.
Although Mu Sheng seems approachable and usually indulges her little whims, he is a man of his word when it comes to important matters and never spoils her.
Even if Lin Jiao had ideas, she could only put them aside for the time being.
In the middle of the night, several tents were pitched around the cabin.
One tent has light, two tents have no light.
Shen Jue and Zhao Keke woke up one after the other. Lin Jiao didn't like Shen Jue, so she didn't stay with them and pitched a tent by herself.
Now it was their turn to keep watch, but only Shen Jue and Zhao Keke got up.
Lin Jiao was not seen during the handover.
Zhao Keke: "Where's Lin Jiao? Didn't you call for Lin Jiao?"
Zhang Guole: "Lin Jiao couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, so she kept watch with us. She's gone to sleep in Brother Mu's tent now."
"Oh? So, it seems like it'll just be the two of us on night watch for the rest of the night?" Zhao Keke replied with a forced smile.
Xia Xiyue: "Thank you for your hard work! Please bear with us and call us if you need anything."
After saying that, he walked towards the large tent.
Zhao Keke: ...
She and the expert seemed to be invisibly isolated by these four people.
"No teammates love me..."
"Alright, there's no difference between two people guarding and three people guarding; complaining won't change anything."
"Keep your spirits up and keep watch!"
