These are among the hotly debated topics on world forums, and have even spawned a hot topic: "Should we count the original age or the current age?"
The woman in front of him, Yamada Machiichi, who looked to be in her early twenties, was not as simple as she appeared. Although the twelve top players appeared to be young boys and girls, their real ages were unknown.
Su Mingan was about to squat down to see if there were any clues under the table...
“Bang!”
He heard a very loud noise.
Yamada Machiichi, who was standing nearby, was staring blankly at the broken tablet on the ground:
"I, I just slipped... I don't know why it broke..."
The next moment, the entire ancestral hall began to tremble violently! It seemed to be a trigger trap.
Su Mingan hesitated for a while, then pulled up the Lolita girl standing beside him, and the light in the space flashed for a moment.
After moving out of the ancestral hall, the red wooden door behind him slammed shut. From the crack in the door, blood, as if crushed, gradually flowed out.
...Very good, the world copy is still as hellish as ever.
Before he could stand firmly, he suddenly heard a strange chuckle.
"——Traveler from the outside world, traveler from the outside world,"
"Why, why, do you want to enter here?"
"Why, why, disturb our peace?"
"Why, why do you want to disrupt the eternal...tranquility of Trili?"
Su Mingan turned around suddenly.
A dozen townspeople holding blood-stained sticks looked at him with numb and indifferent expressions.
The fruits in their hands had already fallen to the ground, gradually revealing the same color as blood.
…
The clone followed the mayor into the room and was surprised to find that there were already other guests inside.
Edward, with brilliant blond hair, squinted at him, his beautiful blue eyes like the condensed blue sea and sky. Next to him stood an NPC girl in an apron with pigtails and a shy face.
"Oh, by the way, because I also like this traveler number three, I want to invite him to listen to the stories about this town." The mayor smiled and said: "It seems that you know him too, right?"
"I know him, unfortunately." The clone smiled and greeted Edward:
"Hi, cerebral palsy."
“…”
There was visible shock on Edward's face.
"I've been fed up with you for a long time. You're useless and a nuisance. If everyone can chase the light, you're the trash who insists on standing in front of it." The clone smiled and gestured at his neck: "—I'll kill you within three days."
"You——!" Edward hadn't reacted to why this man's attitude had become so sharp, and was stopped by the partial mayor:
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, don't be angry, let's talk it over..." The mayor immediately made the matter less serious and pushed the pigtailed girl next to him out: "Let me introduce myself first, this is my daughter Jasmine."
...Jasmine?
The clone looked at the timid girl and remembered the mission of the person in power. The mission description said that she was extremely evil and had crimes to be exposed...
He looked at the girl who seemed extremely timid and introverted.
Her cheeks were red, her eyelashes blinked like a sieve sifting flour, and her eyes were as clear as the blue sky reflected in the snow-capped mountains and lakes.
...It seems that she disguised herself well, and looked very pitiful.
The clone had long understood that the more harmless something looks, the more suspicious it is. Whether it was Duoduo or Shen Xue, they were not simple people, and the Jasmine in front of him must have a lot of bad intentions.
"Hello, you guys..." Jasmine blushed and smiled shyly.
"Hey, Jasmine." The mayor waved at her and smiled kindly: "Sit here, sit with the two young travelers. You are the same age. Chat and try to be friends. Don't always be with an old man like me."
...The tone sounded like someone was trying to promote his daughter, as if he was going to hold a blind date meeting.
--No.
The clone was somewhat alert.
...Looking at the mayor's expression, it seems that he really wants to marry his daughter to someone.
Jasmine pinched the hem of her skirt and glanced at Edward first. The surprise in her eyes was like little stars flashing non-stop. After all, few girls could refuse a young man like this, with blond hair and blue eyes, who was as elegant and noble as a prince walking out of a painting.
But when she looked at Su Mingan, the smile on her face became more genuine, as if she saw someone who made her feel more at ease.
She took the initiative to sit next to Su Mingan and lowered her head again.
The clone looked around and observed the layout of the room, and saw a red candle and a tablet on a table... The two tablets were placed directly in front of the table, as if they were watching the guests eat.
[*You got clue 2: the tablet in the living room]
[(Tablets in the reception room): You see two tablets in the mayor's room. The names on them seem to be blurred and no specific words can be seen.]
[The clues have been recorded in the clue column and can be checked at any time. ]
…
“Ding Dong!”
Suddenly, he heard the system prompt again:
【Due to the "Powerholder" privilege, you can know the NPC's favorability towards you. 】
[NPC (Jasmine), Favorability: 20 (Basic Favorability) +10]
[Current Favorability Rating: Friendly]
...something's wrong.
It was the first time that the clone heard such a reminder of improving favorability, but this reminder did not appear when the mayor met him.
Does this mean that Mitchell, the mayor who always looks amiable and says that he is like his long-lost son... actually has almost no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end?
