Yan Wei: "..."

He opened his information panel and reconfirmed the debuff named "Girl's Like" - no time limit, no reason. In other words, there is no way to remove this debuff, and there is no end time. As long as the copy is still there, this debuff will hang on him.

Yan Wei: "..."

He may have had an indissoluble bond with debuffs in his life.

In front, Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi refused to give in to each other, and the long whip wrapped around the blade with more force.

Hu Ayu hid in the corner of the kitchen, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were a bit messy, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand. The place she was standing on was still a bit wet, as if she had been here since she ran in after getting wet last night. As an NPC in this ancient town dungeon, she didn't know why these foreign travelers fought, and walked around Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi to look at Yan Wei in fear.

Yan Wei smiled at her.

The young man's gentle and harmless smile made people let go of his guard. Hu Ayu's eyes moved slightly, and when he looked at Yan Wei, his flustered expression faded a lot. It's just that Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi are lying in front of her, she can't walk, she can only lean against the corner.

But this cook was the only one who was still in the mountain temple last night and was not a player. It is very likely that it has something to do with the fact that someone released an umbrella last night. It is a key clue, and no one is willing to give up.

In the middle of the kitchen, the two were still in a stalemate.

Yan Wei didn't expect Ning Yi's body index to be so high—maybe it was the reason why the growth rate of the short knife in her hand was higher than that of Yan Mingguang's long whip.

At this time, several other players came to the kitchen one after another and saw the confrontation between Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi. Whether it's Ning Yi, who scored two points alone, or Yan, who cooperated with Lin Zhenyu and Feizhou yesterday to complete the overall point control, they don't want to face each other head-on. Silently watched the development of the situation from the sidelines.

"call out-"

The sound of arrow feathers piercing the air moved from far to near, and a pitch-black arrow suddenly appeared in front of everyone, heading directly towards the center where Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi were entangled. When the arrow feather was about to hit the entanglement of the short knife and the long whip accurately, Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi reacted very quickly and stopped their hands almost at the same time.

The arrow feather shot empty and nailed directly to the wall behind.

"There will be a good show early in the morning." Lin Zhen stepped into the kitchen and glanced at the scene with great interest. "Are you robbing this cook? Why don't you add me?"

Yu Feizhou also came later. He subconsciously glanced at the direction where Yan Wei was, and seeing Yan Wei's kind and sweet smile, he froze for a moment, and a moment of uneasiness appeared on his warm face.

But he didn't say anything, just walked in silently.

Lin Zhen suddenly intervened, and the stalemate between Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi was temporarily broken. Hu Ayu hesitated for a moment, and quickly ran to Yan Wei's side.

Everyone present was startled.

Hu Ayu just hid behind Yan Wei and whispered, "Last night... thank you."

As she approached, Yan Wei could also clearly see what was in Hu Ayu's hand—it was something he exchanged from the shopping mall on the information panel at the entrance of the mountain temple yesterday to warm Hu Ayu's hands.

Yan Wei just said, "It's a little effort."

As he spoke, his heart was already twisted and twisted. Judging by Hu Ayu's attitude, he seems to be able to easily ask something...

He glanced at Yan Mingguang and flirted with him.

Yan Mingguang immediately understood what he meant, flicked the long whip lightly, and the tail of the whip wrapped around Yan Wei's left wrist again.

[Teacher Yan, I just got a debuff for some unknown reason. But let’s talk about this matter later, our top priority is to take away the answer points.]Yan Wei said quickly, [Can you stop Lin Zhen and Ning Yi for a few minutes at the same time? There is a cubicle next to the kitchen, and I took Hu Ayu there for questioning. Anyway, I'm still one point short of you, so I can take this point alone.]

[A few minutes,] Yan Mingguang paused, [But Yu Feizhou and others...]

Yan Wei raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: [That's too simple. What I am most afraid of is Ning Yi, Lin Zhen is easily trapped by the aggressive method, Yu Feizhou's moral standards are too high, and the other ordinary players... I don't pay attention to them at all.]

In the kitchen of the mountain temple, the remaining players all looked at each other vigilantly, and glanced at Hu Ayu from time to time. Perhaps it was because the image of Yan Wei holding Yan Mingguang's thigh was too deep-rooted before, even though the cook was obviously closer to him, others didn't think much of Yan Wei.

Lin Zhen played with the bowstring of his long bow: "Oh, no one moved it."

Yan Wei said: "I will count to three and we will move together." one two Three! !]

The next moment, Yan Wei grabbed Hu Ayu's arm and whispered, "Come with me!"

Yan Mingguang threw out his long whip, and at the same time took out a folding dagger with his other hand. Throwing the dagger towards Ning Yi, the long whip shook his body in mid-air, and headed straight towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen, who had just finished speaking without moving, said, "..."

Yan Wei has already pulled Hu Ayu and ran outside.

Yu Feizhou didn't seem to have any intention of such a fight, and took a step back.

The eyes of the remaining ordinary players changed slightly - it was one thing not to want to offend Yan Mingguang, Ning Yi and others, but quite another in the face of huge interests. Anyway, Lou forbids players to kill each other, even if Yan can deal with them, it will take a lot of effort, maybe they have already got the highest score and the ladder clues to clear the level.

In the blink of an eye, several ordinary players chased after Yan Wei directly.

Yan Wei pulled Hu Ayu, and suddenly ran behind Yu Feizhou who was standing at the door, and shouted loudly: "Yu Feizhou! Just follow what you discussed with Yan Mingguang before!"

After saying that, he braked and turned, dragging Hu Ayu to the room next to the kitchen.

Yu Feizhou: "???" Didn't the cooperation between him and Yan Weiyan Mingguang end yesterday? Was there some promise he forgot

While Yu Feizhou was thinking, those players looked at Yu Feizhou standing at the door, stopped instantly, and looked at each other.

Kong Yuwei gritted her teeth: "If you don't act, you will be at the bottom tonight..."

"Let's cooperate," Song Yu directly made a decision, "Yu Feizhou, although we know that you are strong, we also want to get points for answering the question, please don't stop us, get out of the way!"

He said this was just a formality, and before he finished speaking, Song Yu and Kong Yuwei and other ordinary players shot at Yu Feizhou together!

Yu Feizhou: "???"

He subconsciously raised his hand to block an attack and even sent a player flying, feeling at a loss.

He didn't seem to stop these people, did he

The situation in the kitchen fell into a short-term balance just as Yan Wei thought. After Lin Zhen and others appeared, Yan Wei had this attention.

Yan Mingguang fought with Lin Zhen and Ning Yi, making several other ordinary players think that they were with Yu Feizhou for a while—this kind of misunderstanding is actually very easy to achieve, because Lin Zhen fought with Yan Mingguang and Ning Yi, saying It is fine for the three of them to work independently, and there is nothing wrong with saying that Lin Zhen and Yan Mingguang deal with Ning Yi together. Moreover, the four of them controlled the entire game yesterday, and other players would subconsciously think of them together.

At this time, if he said another word to bring trouble to Yu Feizhou, it would naturally delay it for a while.

If Hu Ayu had any clues during this time, it would be enough for him to ask something. And if Hu Ayu himself is dangerous, then he can also use flower ball props to save himself and then call Yan Mingguang, then all players will rush over immediately, and it will become his life-saving method instead.

Yan Wei quickly dragged Hu Ayu into the next room, closed the door, and tapped his finger on the black ring, in case Hu Ayu really had a problem, he could take out the flower ball props in the black ring at any time.

This balance lasts only a few minutes, and he must do it as soon as possible.

"Brother Yan..." Hu Ayu gasped, and didn't seem to show any unusual reaction, "Didn't you come here for sightseeing, why did it become like this? What about the two travelers who arrested me last night... Yes, and what about the witch?"

Yan Wei blinked, and suddenly showed an anxious and panicked expression, and quickly said: "I will tell you about this later, time is running out, and I am worried that you will have an accident if it takes too long, can you tell me something you know first? As long as you speak out, those people will probably not touch you again."

—The answer points are gone, who would care about a useless npc

Hu Ayu was stunned.

She still didn't seem to have reacted from such a battle, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay... I believe in you, you... you are good-looking and kind-hearted. You are a good person who even the mountain gods are willing to help."

Hearing the words "kindness" and "mountain god" mentioned together, Yan Wei felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

He asked, "Where were you after you entered the mountain temple last night and before we met in the kitchen?"

Hu Ayu almost didn't think about it: "I'm always hiding in the kitchen."

Yan Wei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and thoughts flashed across his pale brown eyes.

If what Hu Ayu said is true—there is a high probability that she is indeed hiding in the kitchen, because the traces in the kitchen do seem to be that someone spent the night there. Who was it that put the umbrella last night

If what Hu Ayu said is false, then this cook is an npc ten times more difficult than the witch.

He then asked: "Then do you know if there are any people living in the mountain temple—"

"Some of you are dead, right?" Hu Ayu interrupted him suddenly.

She narrowed her eyes and lowered her head, a calm helplessness and sadness appeared on her fair face. Her eyes were somewhat nostalgic, and her voice became lower and lower: "Same as before, travelers who come here will eventually die one by one."

Yan Wei's eyes narrowed: "What do you know?"

"This situation has been going on for ten years. Our family used to... lived a good life in the town, but after what happened ten years ago, my parents died at first, and people began to die in the town. Later, All the travelers who came here died. Everyone thought it had something to do with our family... They didn’t treat me very well, saying that I was unlucky, that I was definitely not liked by the mountain gods. Gradually, I couldn’t even find a job. Relying on occasional visits to the mountain temple to help me make a living—fortunately, the sorceress is willing to give me some work, but she doesn't mean it well. She just thinks that travelers from outside will die sooner or later. Suitable for cooking."

"Ten years ago? What happened to your family...?"

"I am twenty-eight years old..."

Ten years ago, I was exactly eighteen years old.

Ankang ancient town has two customs that have been going on for a long time: all girls in the town are required to get married when they are eighteen years old, and if the married girl has a downpour on the day of her wedding, then this girl is the person that the mountain god likes and chooses, and needs to be enshrined To the mountain god.

Hu Ayu has a twin sister named Hu Ayun. Ten years ago, the two were just 18 years old, and they chose their marriage partner and time respectively. As a sister, Hu Ayun got married first as a matter of course.

On the day of Hu Ayun's wedding, the ancient town of Ankang experienced a torrential rain that had not been seen in decades.
