"Where are you all from? Why are you still standing in the rain? I have umbrellas for ten yuan each, no cheating!"
A light rain began to fall again, and the group heard the same greetings once more. Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief and entered Tianguang Town for the third time.
Of their group, only Jiang Ran had previous memories, which left a lot of information that should have been obtained unknown. In the last cycle, things happened too suddenly, and Jiang Ran didn't have time to ask about many things.
When they first came in, Marid already had four dogs, so Liu Xia's current identity should still be that of a dog. One thing that makes Jiang Ran uneasy is that he has experienced the most cycles among them, so there might be some unexpected changes.
The person behind the scenes made them forget that Arceus could eradicate the pollution; wasn't their real intention to make them leave, thus causing Tianguang Town to reopen? What was the point of doing this?
What problems might occur if the loop is triggered multiple times?
"The reason we couldn't find out Aransta's whereabouts last time was probably because we were asking about other outsiders, without realizing that they had already integrated into the town in some way."
"The reason we were able to find Rusgeler in the last cycle was because we knew in the first cycle that Marid only had four dogs, so we noticed the difference. But the same method can't be applied to Aisha and Yamagami. Who knows what they've become now."
Jiang Ran still decided to go to Marid this time, but he did not intend to rescue Liu Xia directly. This did not mean that Jiang Ran thought Liu Xia was worthless and did not want to save him, but rather that he was afraid of triggering the cycle again.
As the first among them to arrive in Tianguang Town, Liu Xia might know something they don't. So, she went to find Marid for two reasons: first, to see if he had gained one or two more dogs, and second, to get the information from Liu Xia.
With their abilities, getting a dog to speak would be incredibly easy for them.
At this time, Marid should still be strolling around the street. You can run into him by just wandering around. As for how to get him away to be alone with the dog, it's very simple. When Jiang Ran first met Marid, the other party had tied the dog to the entrance of the tavern. You just need to do the same again.
"Back then, Marid probably went into the tavern with his eye on Dog Brother, wanting to buy him. So this time, I'll have to trouble you to be the bait again!"
Marid went to the tavern in the evening, which was the first time he went there. At that time, he could just wait for the rabbit to come to him. Jiang Ran was not in a hurry to carry out this plan, so he led everyone to the entrance of the inn first.
Instead of going directly into the hotel, he asked around for directions.
"We came from out of town, and we are very fortunate to have a hotel here. We wonder who the hotel owner is?"
"This hotel was built with funds from the town mayor. Although we rarely see outsiders here, it is customary for outsiders not to stay overnight in residents' homes. So this hotel will eventually be useful, and that's why it was built."
"For the past few years, this hotel has been managed by Granny Yan, but unfortunately, such a good person passed away from an illness. She then entrusted the hotel to her granddaughter, but who knew that her granddaughter would also contract the same disease and pass away soon after? After that, the hotel became a no-man's land, with no one to manage it."
Two owners died in such a short period of time. Anyone would think this place is unlucky and wouldn't take care of it.
No one takes care of it... so why was it so clean inside when they went in?
After finishing his conversation with the residents, Jiang Ran entered the hotel.
The owner is not here, so the hotel is free; you can stay on your own.
The same signboard was placed at the front desk.
Wait, according to the current timeline...
Jiang Ran turned her head, and an old woman carrying a vegetable basket walked in from outside.
She glanced at everyone, seemingly slightly surprised, but didn't say much. She simply returned to the front desk and put the sign away.
Jiang Ran slowly left the hotel, not bothering to talk to her, and found the resident who had spoken to her earlier: "Did you see an old woman go in just now?"
"An old woman?" The man instinctively took a step back. "There's no old woman here, don't scare me!"
Can't you see it?
"Cough cough."
Jiang Ran coughed lightly, deciding to refrain from provoking anything in the hotel for the time being.
Rusger sighed softly, "Just thinking about spending a night in a place like this sends chills down my spine."
"Why are you feeling cold? If a ghost comes looking for you, just swing your sword and cut it down, won't you?"
The group walked along the street when they suddenly heard singing coming from nearby—
Ah, we were once so close, but the sunset has changed its colors.
Rusger covered his ears: "Holy crap, who the hell is singing? Is that howling?!"
But as I listened, the voice sounded somewhat familiar!
"It's that kid from the mountain!" Aransta's expression was a little strange. They found him already? He felt a sense of relief, but it also felt somewhat unreal.
"Whether it is or not, let's just go in and take a look!"
Rusger looked in the direction the sound came from; it was a noodle shop.
Jiang Ran asked the other residents around her, "Do you know who's singing?"
Just as everyone naturally accepted that Marid had a fifth dog, if Yamashiro really integrated into Tianguang Town, he should also appear in the memories of other people.
"I know, this is a parrot kept at Wu's noodle shop. They brought it back about three years ago. Their noodle shop relies on the parrot to attract customers. Listen, isn't its voice beautiful!"
Rusger's lips twitched. "Are you fucking sure this sounds good?!"
The kid on the mountain turned into a parrot, which is pretty lucky. At least he can use this method to attract other people's attention. If he had turned into something that couldn't move or make a sound, he would have been doomed.
The time was three years ago, and considering the voice... it's definitely from the mountains!
"Ahem, Yamaue, wait for me to come and save you!" Rusger strode towards the noodle shop. "Next, the main character makes his appearance!"
Alansta asked with some suspicion, "Ahem, when did this guy become so concerned about things on the mountain?"
Rusger pushed open the door of the noodle shop.
Clang—
A bloody thing rolled down the steps and landed at Jiang Ran's feet.
Before everyone's eyes, Rusger's head fell off, and his body collapsed to the ground!
Jiang Ran instantly became alert, and the next moment, he found himself sitting in a tavern, holding a glass of lime wine.
As dusk approached outside, Jiang Ran's gaze swept over the crowd.
Gwen, Alice, the big black dog, Aransta, well, no one is absent.
