Chapter 5 Silencing
I've never encountered a situation where an NPC hinders my progress and causes a mission to fail.
"Perhaps this is the ingenious design of the restroom?" Xiu Chuqiyu felt that she could actually forgive Lu Xiaofeng.
if only……
"Lu Xiaofeng, will you give me a miraculous encounter after the case is closed?" A figure with great lightness skill landed in front of Lu Xiaofeng, showing off a miraculous encounter and asking gently.
A bubble quickly appeared above the NPC's head in front of them.
Lu Xiaofeng: "Of course!"
Satisfied with his unexpected adventure, he closed the toy box.
Some items will not be used on Lu Xiaofeng for the time being.
Upon opening the quest guide again, I was surprised to find that although the previous quest had failed, a new quest had still appeared.
"You didn't find any clues in the treasury of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. Perhaps you could take a stroll through the West Garden."
"?"
"Where was West Garden mentioned? I didn't miss any NPC dialogue this time! Is this a forced plot progression?"
Although it seemed a bit far-fetched, I still happily accepted this premise when I showed off my extraordinary encounter.
"I'm past the age of using my brain when playing games. Good job, bathroom guy! We need more of this kind of direct, clue-shoving approach!"
Excitedly, I flew to the West Garden, showed off my amazing adventure, and followed the mission instructions to the designated location.
After a while, an old woman with a very low back slowly walked over.
"Roasted chestnuts, delicious roasted chestnuts, only fifteen coins a pound of roasted chestnuts."
Old woman: "Young lady, would you like to buy some roasted chestnuts?"

"The sugar-roasted chestnuts made by Gongsun Lan are only available for sale on the night of a full moon. They are extremely poisonous; half a chestnut is enough to kill a person. They are available for trade."
"!!!"
"It really is only fifteen coins! What an amazing find!"
Showing off her amazing encounter, isn't this the perfect prank item for her friends and family? Even though she has no friends or family, that doesn't stop her from collecting them!
She can trick her teammates into killing her in the dungeon!
They bought all the roasted chestnuts.
"Why are there only ten portions? The purchase limit for osmanthus flowers has been lifted, can't the purchase limit for roasted chestnuts be lifted too?"
The old woman said, "Young lady, won't you try some? Hot, roasted chestnuts are the best."
Although the woman opposite him was a wicked old lady, there were plenty of NPCs who had poisoned him before. Considering that she had some good items to sell, he took out a roasted chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.
As the screen darkened, a traditional Chinese ink painting appeared in the center of the phone screen.
The four large characters “Yin Yang Liang Jie” are prominently displayed in the very center of the ink painting.
"Aa ...
Show off your amazing adventures with a quick click to share, and post screenshots to all your social media apps.
She wants to share this good news with the whole world.

"Lu Xiaofeng, will you give me a miraculous encounter after the case is closed?"
Although he didn't know what kind of extraordinary encounter was being referred to by "showing off his extraordinary encounter," Lu Xiaofeng still answered decisively, "Of course!"
The next moment, the obvious murderous aura disappeared.
The woman opposite received a satisfactory answer, turned around, and flew away.
Seeing this, Jin Jiuling patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder teasingly: "Not bad, Lu Xiaofeng, you're quite the ladies' man."
"It's really not what you think this time." Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly. "Forget about that, how did you and Hua Manlou end up here?"
Hua Manlou smiled slightly: "Captain Jin is now the new chief steward of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion."
The group chatted happily for most of the night, but the next day, Lu Xiaofeng received bad news.
"You mean the person who showed off their extraordinary encounter died?"
"If the extraordinary encounter you're referring to is the pink-clad girl you spoke to last night, then that's certainly true," Jin Jiuling said regretfully.
"Today, someone found a body in the market. The deceased was stunningly beautiful, dressed in pink, carrying two swords, and surrounded by scattered roasted chestnuts. My former brother in the government asked me to take a look, and it was indeed the pink-clad girl from yesterday."
Lu Xiaofeng found it hard to believe.
That strange, mysterious, and unpredictable person who had a miraculous encounter actually died?
Lu Xiaofeng felt that the news was not quite true.
Following Jin Jiuling to the yamen to identify the body, they indeed encountered a strange and wonderful encounter.
When she was alive, Lu Xiaofeng always felt that she wasn't a real person, but after she died, she looked no different from an ordinary young lady from a prominent family.
To be honest, the two hadn't known each other for long and hadn't had much interaction. Lu Xiaofeng wasn't exactly heartbroken, but he just felt it wasn't real.
How could she have died?
She actually died!
*********
I posted the serendipitous encounter on Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, and Tencent's social media platform, showing off my adventure and garnering a lot of envy and jealousy from both acquaintances and strangers.
As for that letter, that's where she works. A person can't hold two jobs at the same time; Jianwang 3 shouldn't be there.
By equally harming every passing sweet potato with their unexpected encounters, the joy of showing off these encounters only intensified their positive feelings.
Sharing your extraordinary experiences also carries risks.
Those who hurt others will always be hurt in return. The injured sweet potato successfully broke Xiu's defenses with just three sentences.
Do you know there's an NPC named Gongsun Lan in the new level?
"People in the martial arts world call her Gongsun Da Niang. It is said that she is a descendant of the founder of your Seven Show."
"She seems to be a villain, a random, secretive, and unrefined villain at that~"
"???"
Show doesn't believe it!
Show your search results!
Showing off a broken defense!
"What are you doing, game planner? Is it that our Seven Show Sect can't wield swords anymore, or that our Ice Heart Sect can't unleash electricity?"
"Aaaaah, Gongsun Lan, you're going to die!"
Log in to the game immediately and choose to revive on the spot.
Showing off his amazing adventure, he didn't even notice that his login location had changed. He flew directly towards the location he had previously searched for.
Outside the small building, Gongsun Lan's name finally appeared in the focus list.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he disregarded all quests and rushed into the small building after drawing the dragon carp from his back.
Lu Xiaofeng: "You really didn't die!"
Gongsun Lan: "Weren't you dead?"
There are no NPC dialogues that pop up in the video channel. Select the target and the martial arts assistant will start.
Lu Xiaofeng: "No!"
A second later, the other NPCs in the room, except for Lu Xiaofeng, also turned red and rushed over.
Three seconds later, an unknown NPC who was hit by the Boundless AoE attack died first.
Five seconds later, three more beautiful female NPCs died.
Ten seconds later, only Gongsun Lan remained alive among the red-named individuals in the room.
Gongsun Lan: "An eye for an eye. If you want revenge, come find me. My other sisters didn't harm you, so why do you have to kill them all?"
The conversation bubble had barely begun to rise when she finally succumbed to the sword that revealed her extraordinary adventure.
During this time, Lu Xiaofeng also tried to stop Xiu from having a strange encounter.
only,
"Your tricks are useless against me. You can't attack green-named enemies, even if you're an NPC, unless it's a scripted kill."
With over two million health points, Showing Off Her Adventures means she doesn't need to worry about dodging skills at all. She can leave the attacking to her martial arts assistant, freeing up her hands to type.
Lu Xiaofeng: "Gongsun Lan is right. An eye for an eye. If you want revenge, you can go directly to her. Why did you have to kill other people?"
Showing off their unexpected encounter, they gave a frank answer: "They've become famous."
"I used Boundless, which is a powerful area-of-effect skill. What can I do if they don't run away?"
*********
They learned from Jin Jiuling that it was Granny Xiong who killed Xiu Chuqi, and they also learned Granny Xiong's true identity from the honest monk.
Gongsun Lan.
She is also the most likely embroidery thief.
Regardless of the reason, Lu Xiaofeng had to go and meet her.
He never expected that after going through countless hardships to finally uncover the secrets of the Red Shoes organization and successfully meeting them, a person who had supposedly died would suddenly reappear in front of him.
"You really didn't die!"
"Weren't you dead?"
Lu Xiaofeng and Gongsun Lan's voices rang out simultaneously.
What happened next was nothing short of a mess. When the chaos subsided, only he and Xiu Chuqi were left alive.
Lu Xiaofeng asked wearily, "Gongsun Lan is right, an eye for an eye. If you want revenge, you can go directly to her. Why did you have to kill other people?"
Showing off their unexpected encounter, they gave a frank answer: "They've become famous."
"I used Boundless, which is a powerful area-of-effect skill. What can I do if they don't run away?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "?"
It's the same familiar feeling; I can't understand a word the other person is saying.
Lu Xiaofeng decided to try a different approach.
"But they have important clues on them. If we kill them, we probably won't be able to catch the Embroidery Thief."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, a rare hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Of course I know!"
"But she shouldn't have done that, she shouldn't have impersonated Auntie's descendant. Our Auntie and Second Aunt are pure and virtuous, they took in so many homeless women, how could they possibly have such a vicious and uncouth descendant!"
"Impersonating the Seven Showers and insulting my Seven Showers Sect deserves to die!"
"Seven Show Pavilion?"
Lu Xiaofeng was curious, but unfortunately, the other party showed no intention of explaining. After speaking, they mysteriously disappeared, just like before.
Feeling quite troubled by the horrific scene before him, Lu Xiaofeng resigned himself to his fate and went to find someone to clean up the scene.
None of them were nameless or unknown. Their bodies had to be sent to the authorities so that their relatives could come and collect them for burial.
"So, the woman who died before has come back to life?"
Jin Jiuling spoke as he paced around the room.
"Not only did he resurrect, but he also killed Gongsun Lan and the others in the red shoes?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded heavily.
He still can't figure out why his Spiritual Finger technique failed when he showed off his extraordinary encounter.
“So is it possible,” Jin Jiuling tapped his fan and turned sharply to look at Lu Xiaofeng, “that she was actually trying to silence him?”
"Silence them?" Lu Xiaofeng was a little taken aback.
Jin Jiuling meticulously listed out all the suspicious points about the other party.
"His martial arts skills are unpredictable; he was able to injure Xue Bing and kill Gongsun Lan right in front of you."
"His movements are unpredictable; he can sneak into the royal palace's treasury without anyone noticing."
"She was dressed in red, with red shoes, and carried an embroidered bag. It was clear that she was a skilled embroiderer and that she and Gongsun Lan were from the same school."
"Their clothes are gorgeous and their weapons are impressive; it must have cost them a lot of money."
"Therefore, I have a reasonable suspicion that this woman in pink is the real master embroidery thief."
"She killed the others in the red shoes to silence them!"
