Niutou Town is not far away, only about ten kilometers away.
Following the guidance of the first prop, she quickly arrived near Dahe Village.
Upon reaching the village entrance, the navigation system did not lead her into the village but instead changed direction, guiding her onto a mountain road to the side.
If you keep walking along this mountain road, then you'll come across several rubber plantation sections.
The surrounding area was filled with rubber trees, arranged in rows, stretching as far as the eye could see.
She walked through one rubber plantation after another, surrounded by nothing but rubber trees.
In a rubber plantation like this, it's very difficult to hide anything without being discovered.
Yuan Mengge walked into one of the rubber plantations, and the navigation finally turned a corner, leading her towards a row of rubber trees.
Then they stopped next to one of the trees.
[The seventh tree from the right in the fifth row of section 73.]
The item hint says that this garden is section 73, and her current location is the seventh tree on the right in the fifth row. After that, the system gives no further hints, so she has to find the items around this tree herself.
"Why would you hide something here?" Yuan Mengge asked, looking around the tree with her flashlight, observing from all sides.
There was nothing unusual on the tree, nor under it.
This tree grows similarly to the surrounding trees; it's neither particularly outstanding nor particularly bad.
Since there are no marks on the tree, it must be in the soil.
"System, give me a heads-up. I can't exactly turn this whole plot of land upside down, can I?" Yuan Mengge said, carrying a pickaxe.
Because the location was in the mountains, she brought a pickaxe as a backup.
Intuition will come in handy.
System: [You are approximately 120 centimeters away from that tree on your left.]
Following its directions, Yuan Mengge went to the left and found a patch of land where no grass grew.
The small plot of land was surrounded by lush weeds, but nothing grew on this plot of land.
But the surface of this land doesn't look like it's been recently turned over.
"You're not talking about this patch of land where no grass grows, are you?"
Yes, that's the place.
Yuan Mengge squatted down and started digging with a pickaxe.
After digging dozens of times, she finally found something in the pit.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Mengge fell silent, comparing it several times with the image provided by the system.
The picture only shows a round object; it's impossible to tell what it is.
"You made me dig this thing in the middle of the night...?!?"
[Ding-dong—Quest item obtained: The Dead Man's Head]
The deceased's head: Victim information: Li Jingfei, male, 28 years old, from the provincial capital. Purpose: Witness (please hand over to the police)
You can't tell it's a human head at all from the prop picture!
And...witness testimony? Hmm...I guess that counts...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Yuan Mengge suddenly felt the wind around her become chilly.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a prop? How did it turn into a corpse? And the corpse isn't in the rubber plantation... uh, this is indeed a rubber plantation." She muttered a few words of exasperation.
Then, addressing the skull in the pit, he said, "I'm so sorry, brother, I didn't know what I was digging up was your head. I'll take you to the police so they can find out the truth. Please don't be angry if I've bothered you! I didn't mean to, don't come looking for me..."
As she spoke, she carefully took the skull out with both hands, then stretched it out as if holding a hornet's nest, and turned to walk out of the school forest.
As he walked, he frantically shouted at the system in his mind: 'System! Tell me! Are the other four also parts of a corpse? Or are they also human heads???'
[Unable to identify the actual object until it is found.]
Yuan Mengge: "..."
"I'm not a forensic doctor, why would you ask me to look for a body... I hope this guy in my arms won't mistake me for the murderer... Brother, look carefully... I'm not the one who killed you... I'm here to help you... Please don't come looking for me..." She muttered to herself as she finally walked out of the woods and returned to where she had parked her car.
I carefully placed the skull into the trunk, but the trunk was a bit too big.
If she doesn't find something to cushion or block it, this skull guy might start dancing wildly inside while she's driving...
After thinking for a moment, she picked some large plant leaves from the side and stuffed them into the trunk, saying, "Since I didn't know it was your head that I dug up, I didn't prepare a mat, so I'll just use these leaves to cushion it for now. Don't mind..."
Wrap the entire skull in leaves and put it in a box. After making sure it wouldn't roll around, he drove away to the location of the next item.
The previous location was by a river, but this time the prop is not on the bank, but in the river.
The river isn't very big, but the prop is located in the deepest part of the river.
It's in a rocky bay.
Several large rocks blocked half of the water flow, causing the water to flow rapidly and the water level to accumulate to a relatively deep level both above and below.
The deepest part is downstream of the rocks, where the current has carved out a bend.
Moreover, the area below has been dredged of sand, making it deep and murky.
A lot of debris washed down from upstream will also accumulate on the bottom of the water.
The item hint this time is simple and clear: [Bottom of Stone Bay River]
So she had to go into the water to look for it.
Fortunately, the weather isn't cold now, so going into the water won't make me catch a cold.
Yuan Mengge is a decent swimmer, but I don't know how much lung capacity she has.
Breath-holding also requires practice; the lung capacity of someone who hasn't practiced is different from that of someone who has.
She took off her clothes and pants, tied a flashlight to her forehead, and then slowly walked into the water.
After diving to the bottom, she surfaced three minutes later, threw away a stone, and then dived back down.
After a while, it surfaced again, this time without holding anything in its hands. It took a deep breath, held it, and then went back down.
After searching back and forth five times, she finally walked ashore with something in her hand.
It was a fountain pen, and although it had been soaking in water for a long time, it wasn't rusted very badly.
The pen body appears to be made of a special rust-resistant steel.
She rinsed the pen in the water, then held it in her hand and examined it.
[Ding-dong—Item obtained: Pen]
Fountain pen: Hero fountain pen, belongings of the deceased. Purpose: Physical evidence (please hand it over to the police)
When she put the pen in the trunk, she didn't forget to explain to the man inside what it was.
Then I checked the time, and it wasn't too late yet.
So after getting dressed, they continued on to the next prop location.
The third prop is located in a field.
This is a pastoral area composed of many small rice paddies.
