Chapter 43.
"How, how is it possible?!"
Blood kept exploding on Ah Ying's body. She only had time to utter such a short sentence before her whole body was soaked in blood.
Finally, unable to hold on any longer, Ah Ying collapsed to the ground and lost her life.
Tian Xun covered his injured chest and abdomen, watching such a terrifying and difficult opponent being knocked down overnight, but up to now he had not even seen the person who attacked him.
He couldn't help but mutter, "How, how is it possible?!"
"It's there." Tang Yu pointed to the roof opposite the door.
Tian Xun looked in the direction of her finger and saw a figure at the corner of the roof.
The man hid very secretly, behind the ridge on the roof, and because of his thin body, his entire body was almost covered.
The reason why Tian Xun was able to spot that person was simply because she was wearing bright pink.
Seeing that she was discovered, the person on the roof revealed her true identity. She held a sniper rifle and jumped a few times to land in front of everyone.
A petite girl walked into the room. Her light pink windbreaker was particularly eye-catching. She wore a bunny ear headband on her head, and the ends of her twin ponytails also had a hint of pink.
The whole person looked extremely delicate and cute, even the sniper rifle was pink, but the muzzle with a silencer was pointing at the people in the room.
This pink Barbie is a ruthless person!
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, several people stood still and no one dared to speak. Only Yang Mingzhe lost his mind and held his head and babbled nonsense.
The girl with twin ponytails spoke first. She pointed at Yang Mingzhe who was squatting in the corner and acting crazy and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Just listening to that sweet and clear voice, it is easy to underestimate the strength.
Tang Yu answered with experience: "Oh, based on his symptoms, he is likely suffering from schizophrenia."
The girl said "oh", then looked at Tian Xun with disdain and said, "You are such a wimp, you can't even be killed with this."
The veins on Tian Xun's forehead popped, but he couldn't help asking, "How did you find her location so accurately?"
Aying has a very strange ability that can make people hallucinate and cause misjudgment. Tian Xun believes that if he didn't have this trick, he would be able to kill Aying easily.
He was a little curious about how the girl in front of him did it. Could it be that Aying's mental force field had a range, so she would not be affected even if she stood on the roof opposite?
The girl rolled her eyes at Tian Xun and said crisply: "Are you stupid? Can't you find the pattern?"
Tian Xun was confused: "Rules, rules?"
The girl nodded as a matter of course, and the bunny ears on her head moved along with it.
She pointed at the dead Ah Ying and said, "Every time she showed her true form, she appeared on your left side. Didn't you notice?"
"So, what?" Tian Xun was a little confused.
"So I shot a target and tried it out, and this is how I guessed it right."
The girl shrugged and said, "But when I fired the first shot, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the trajectory of the bullet was one body length away from what I expected. I thought I would miss it, but unexpectedly I did. It seems that I am still very lucky!"
When the girl said this, she didn't notice that Tang Yu secretly glanced at Tang En. Tang En immediately understood what Tang Yu meant, and he shook his head in confusion.
Tang En's awakened skill was an accident, and the results brought by the accident were both good and bad. The appearance of the wind allowed the girl to guess Aying's correct location.
As for whether all this was caused by Tang En, even he himself could not be sure.
The girl's eyes swept over everyone and finally landed on Tian Xun.
She looked at Tian Xun with a bit of contempt and said, "Uncle, you are so old-fashioned. It's such a different era now, and you still use a knife. Don't you know that times have changed?"
Tian Xun, who felt inexplicably disliked, wanted to refute, but Aying's death certificate showed that the girl's methods were indeed more sophisticated.
So, this big man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall quietly broke through the defense.
Tang Yu was very surprised to see the sniper rifle in the girl's hand disappear in an instant. She asked, "What's your name? Is this your skill?"
The girl looked at Tang Yu and Tang En behind her with scrutiny, and said in the same critical tone: "Shouldn't you usually introduce yourself before asking someone's name?"
Tang Yu did not take it as an offense, but felt that what she said made sense, so he followed suit and said, "I am Tang Yu, from the Guild of the God of Cooking Strange Things, and my skill is cooking."
Without Ah Ying's influence, Tang En felt much better. He followed Tang Yu and said, "My name is Tang En. She and I are from the same guild. My skill is accident."
After listening to the two people's self-narration, the girl frowned again and again, and finally couldn't help but started to complain: "This guild name is too awkward, and what kind of messed up skills are there?"
Both of them: "......"
Tian Xun leaned against the wall and saw several people introducing themselves. He also said: "My name is Tian Xun, I don't have a guild, and my skill is giant strength."
The girl said bluntly: "Wow, uncle, you are socially phobic!"
Tian Xun: “…”
Tang En quietly gave the girl a definition in his mind: poisonous tongue!
The girl ignored the three people who also broke through the defense gently, and said: "My name is Jing Xiaoning, from the Dawn Guild, my skill is hot weapons."
This skill is easy to understand. It means what it sounds like, and can materialize firearms.
Tang Yu thought Jing Xiaoning's skill was really cool, so she couldn't help but praise her: "Amazing, did you come into this dungeon alone?"
Jing Xiaoning looks like a child of only ten years old, but she dared to enter the B-level multiplayer dungeon alone, and defeated the powerful Aying in one encounter.
This shows that her strength should not be underestimated.
In response to Tang Yu's praise, Jing Xiaoning smiled with great satisfaction.
She said: "Of course, I am an investigator who specializes in investigating the truth of the strange world!"
"Investigator?" This unheard-of word confused Tang Yu and Tang En.
Instead, Tian Xun who was standing by knew something. He said, "This is just a B-level copy. What does it have to do with the truth of the strange world?"
The weirdness came, and the survivors who entered the middle area began to quickly adapt to their current life after experiencing the initial panic.
As guilds of all sizes were established, top figures with vast resources began to explore the truth of the world.
Thus, a group of investigators from different guilds came into being. They were men, women, old and young, wandering through various dungeons, looking for answers to all the problems.
As a lone wolf lurking in the middle field, Tian Xun is very powerful and naturally has access to more resources and information than Tang Yu and others, so he knows the investigator.
But he didn’t understand. This B-level copy looked ordinary. Could it be that it was hiding the secret of a strange world?
Jing Xiaoning had no intention of keeping any information to herself. As an investigator, sharing intelligence was a habit of hers.
She got straight to the point: "Harvest Celebration."
"What's the matter..." Tian Xun stopped talking, and suddenly thought of the key point: "Are you talking about offering sacrifices to the gods?"
The residents of Lonely Cliff Town are the living people who are still stranded after the arrival of the weirdness. They rely on the evil priests to save their lives and have become a strange existence.
This is the truth deduced by everyone based on the copy strategy.
But from beginning to end, everyone overlooked one point.
If offering sacrifices to gods is really effective, then what kind of gods are the residents of Guya Town worshipping? !
When they thought of this, the three of them, including Tang Yu, shuddered as if they had just woken up from a dream.
This is obviously an obvious problem, but it was inexplicably ignored. Is this because of the limitations of the copy itself, or the influence of the so-called "God"?
Everyone present fell silent for a moment, as if they were slowly digesting the shock and fear brought about by this discovery.
Jing Xiaoning studied the entire kitchen like a curious baby, and even poked two fingers at Yang Mingzhe, who was curled up in the corner and going crazy.
After Tian Xun recovered, he looked at Jing Xiaoning who was wandering around and asked, "So you came here specifically to investigate that so-called 'god'?"
Jing Xiaoning nodded: "President suspects that this 'god' may be related to the strange erosion, so I need to understand the entire blessing process."
A few people understood what she meant. Tang En said directly: "But, but the celebration requires the sacrifice of living people, we can't do it."
Tang Yu also nodded in affirmation. Although she liked to challenge all kinds of magical dishes, she didn't like to challenge the bottom line.
She said her previous guess: "Perhaps without the Harvest Festival, the townspeople would not be able to receive the blessing, and this instance would be passable?"
“Tsk, it’s not that simple!” Jing Xiaoning sneered, “If the harvest festival cannot be held as scheduled, the townspeople will immediately go berserk, and the first to die will be the participants.”
At this point she added with a wicked smile: "Of course, the only ones who will die are you rookies, not me."
Tian Xun pretended not to hear her big truth and asked, "How do you know that the townspeople will go crazy without a harvest festival?"
Jing Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him, pointed her index finger at herself and reiterated, "I am a great investigator!"
There was nothing she didn't know.
Jing Xiaoning, who wears twin ponytails, is cocky and sharp-tongued, but it is precisely because of this that what she says seems credible.
Although this point is not mentioned at all in the dungeon strategy, it is understandable if you think about it. The participant who triggered the townspeople's frenzy might die directly and have no chance of coming out alive.
Only an investigator with special skills like Jing Xiaoning can boldly explore the dungeon and obtain more clues.
Tang Yu and his companions had no idea what state the townspeople were in when they went into collective frenzy, but from the way they dealt with Ah Ying, it was probably no worse than hell.
That being said, the harvest celebration must be held on time.
Tian Xun said in a deep voice: "Doesn't that mean someone must sacrifice themselves?"
"You only have brains but no muscles!" Jing Xiaoning complained without any hesitation. She pointed at Ah Ying's body and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one here?"
In Jing Xiaoning's opinion, since there must be a sacrifice, it doesn't matter who you find. Aying, who is lying on the ground, is very suitable.
Even though Aying is a human being, she is a psychologically twisted person living in a strange world. She is a kind of person who is not of the same race and must have a different heart. It is a pity that such a person should die.
Even if they are dead, they can still be recycled.
Jing Xiaoning was very young and adapted to the strange world very quickly. In her opinion, some extreme choices were not without limits, but were just a timely workaround.
