There are three large characters written on the huge gate plaque, Holy Lake City.
Lou Fan curled his lips, the village on the other side of Ghost Lake doesn't even have a village name, this place is directly called Holy Lake City, and he despises Ghost Lake Village too much.
As soon as they entered the city gate, several people broke away from the team of the 'village chief'. They glanced at the direction he was going, but they didn't know where he was going. They turned a corner and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lou Fan turned his head, only to realize that there were fewer people in the team.
Qin Tan had already found out, and asked Gao Yi, "Where are the other two people? Why are they missing?"
Gao Yi looked helpless and sighed, "I don't know either. I suddenly felt something was wrong and disappeared. At that time, I couldn't tell, and I couldn't find anyone, so I could only continue to follow."
Can you lose it by holding on to the corner of your clothes? Lou Fan looked at him incredulously, but didn't say anything.
Chen Shuyang was different. If he didn't understand, he asked, "Can you lose it by holding on to the hem of your clothes? Did they meet?"
Gao Yi: "Also... Maybe."
Chen Shuyang blinked, feeling that he was a little insincere.
Qin Tan stopped the meaningless speculation and began to assign tasks, "Let's divide into groups first, look at the situation in the city, pay attention to whether there are special things, or places where you can inquire about news, and meet up at the same place in an hour."
There were five people in total, and it was not good to leave Gao Yi alone, Lou Fan glanced at Nie Feng, and said that he and Qin Tan were with Gao Yi, and Nie Feng was with Chen Shuyang.
Nie Feng is not weak, has a clear mind, and is a strong player.
Although he didn't want Gao Yi to follow, he wanted to live with Qin Tan, but Gao Yi's two unlucky team members could get lost by the hem of their clothes, he was really speechless.
The expected world of two is gone, Qin Tan's face is like the bottom of a pot, Lou Fan almost laughed out loud, this person looked more depressed than him, making Gao Yi confused.
Holy Lake City looks big, but its population is actually not that large. Most of them are concentrated in the busiest street at the gate of the city. The further you go, the less you can see anyone. There is a very majestic and antique house in the center of the city. Although there are houses in the further back, most of them are vacant.
The three of them wandered around the city until they reached the second half where there were few people. There were very few pedestrians on the road, and no one in particular was seen. Originally, it was not an easy task to find the key NPC, Lou Fan was not in a hurry, and simply searched slowly, searching every place.
Gao Yi also knows the importance of key NPCs, but although he is patient, he is also a little anxious at this time.
A burst of crying came from a distance, a miserable cry, with a hint of wailing.
"My poor granddaughter! Why were you captured by those bad guys!"
Lou Fan followed the sound and walked over, only to see an old man lying on the ground, crying, slapping the ground continuously, looking very miserable.
"My poor Ah Feng!"
Lou Fan's eyes lit up, he winked at Qin Tan, and walked over immediately. He bent down and lowered his head, and asked in a low voice: "Old woman, what's wrong with you, why are you lying on the ground, I'll help you up."
The old woman ignored him, and was still lying on the ground crying. Lou Fan had some patience, so he simply squatted down and said slowly: "Old woman, it's very cold on the ground, please tell me if you have any difficulties, and I can help you." you."
The old woman looked up at him, her old face was miserable and helpless, she lowered her head and continued to cry.
Lou Fan smiled, thinking in his heart that this old woman must be a key NPC, so he made persistent efforts and continued to persuade.
Gao Yi, who was standing behind Qin Tan, was a little impatient. He couldn't see Lou Fan's expression, but according to his past experience and the information he collected in the intermediate club: Generally speaking, once the key NPC finds the right passenger, Talk to him to get the clues you need. Instead of talking over and over again like now, the other party ignores it.
From this point of view, this is not a key NPC at all.
"It's a waste of time to go on like this." Gao Yi said: "Captain Qin, either you wait here, and I'll go around first to see if there are any other clues."
How could Qin Tan not know that he was impatient, so he nodded and agreed, and agreed that Gao Yi would come back in half an hour.
Lou Fan spoke patiently for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the old woman straightened up and half sat on the ground, watching him slowly wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Young man, my poor granddaughter was taken away by the bad guys, you said Want to help me?"
Lou Fan was happy and nodded immediately, "Yes, if you have any difficulties, I can help you."
The old lady was holding on to a stool on one side, trying to stand up with difficulty, Lou Fan immediately got up and helped her, letting her stand up with her own strength.
The old lady stood up and straightened her clothes. The tears on her face were gone. Although she had no expression, she looked very kind.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the holy lake city was brightly lit, and there was light everywhere.
"Ah Feng was taken away. If you really want to help me, then come and help me feed the rabbit tomorrow morning."
Feed the rabbit? Lou Fan blinked, this task is very special, but you can't negotiate conditions with NPC.
He nodded, "Okay, I'll come early tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking, the old woman yawned and turned to enter the door, regardless of whether they were still standing at the door.
When Gao Yi came back, he saw the two sitting on the stone steps and waiting, but the old woman from before was not seen.
He didn't ask, and the two of them didn't elaborate, they went to meet Nie Feng and Chen Shuyang at the agreed place.
The two of Chen Shuyang were already waiting there and saw three people. Nie Feng was expressionless, and said to Qin Tan: "Captain, I didn't find anything."
Qin Tan responded, and said, "Find a place to rest first."
They hadn't rested since they entered the forest. They planned to rest at night, but the full moon was ahead of schedule, so they followed them to Holy Lake City. It was already late at night, and everyone was very tired.
Lou Fan thought for a while and asked, "Did you see the inn or the place to stay just now? Maybe there will be clues there."
Gao Yi shook his head, and Chen Shuyang shook his head too. Nie Feng drooped his eyes and said aloud after a while, "I seem to see one, but I'm not sure. The word is really small."
Qin Tan didn't hesitate: "Go and have a look first."
Nie Feng led the way ahead, and Chen Shuyang followed him, tilting his head and asking, "Nie Feng, when did you see it? Why didn't I see it? You didn't tell me."
"Because you are stupid." Nie Feng said lightly: "With me here, I will tell you what to do, and you just follow."
There is nothing wrong with these words, Chen Shuyang thought for a second, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, "That's right, I will just follow along with you, I am indeed a bit stupid, hey, it would be nice if I could become smarter sometime."
Nie Feng raised his hand and rubbed his hair, "It's pretty good, not stupid."
Chen Shuyang stared, is he stupid or not
The place Nie Feng mentioned was in a small alley on the other side, and there was a canvas with two words written on it: Inn. The name is very concise and clear.
A group of people walked over, and there was a pile of flowers and plants in a mess at the entrance of the inn. There was a layer of mud dust on the bluestone bricks at the entrance, and the wooden door was half-closed.
Nie Feng pushed open the wooden door and creaked, "Is anyone there? Stay here."
No one answered.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Shuyang stuck his head in and shouted after Nie Feng.
"Who is it?" A woman came out of the room wiping her hands. She didn't seem to expect anyone to stay in the hotel. She was stunned for a moment before she realized and said, "You want to stay? Oh, come in quickly, come in first."
As she said that, she hurriedly opened the door, dragged a few benches over, stretched her neck and shouted inside: "Old man, there are guests staying in the shop, quickly boil water and make tea."
A middle-aged man inside leaned out to take a look, and immediately responded with a smile, and went to boil the water.
"I'm really sorry, we don't have many people coming to stay at the hotel, so we're not well prepared. A few guests, wait a moment." She couldn't stop rubbing her hands, her face full of guilt.
Lou Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry, take your time."
"Ah, oh, okay, then I'll tidy up the guest room first, wait a moment, I'll make tea for you later. Wait a moment!"
Lou Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you can go to work first."
When the people left, he sighed, "It seems that no one usually comes to stay in the hotel."
Qin Tan unloaded his bag, relaxed, and replied, "Sacred Lake City and Ghost Village are relatively closed, and the villagers are self-sufficient, and no outsiders will come."
Lou Fan nodded thoughtfully, then why is there such a place to stay
Tong Fei came out of the lake and wiped away the water stains all over her face. At this moment, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and a huge full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the whole village clearly. She didn't even look at the human skins on the shore, and went straight to the shore.
Immediately after that, four heads popped out of the lake and landed on the shore one by one.
A group of dripping people walked towards the house, and the sky gradually turned white. Ten minutes after they landed, many black figures appeared in the lake.
"Sister Tong Fei?" Wen Lang immediately came out when he heard the voice, and was very surprised to see Tong Fei.
Tong Fei smiled, "I know you're waiting for us, so I'll be right back."
Wen Lang didn't care that she was covered in water, so he threw himself on her and gave her a hug, "It's great that there's nothing wrong."
Tong Fei pushed him away and joked, "Don't want to eat my tofu, you kid."
Wen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he let go of her and looked behind him, when he saw Chen Man and Fan Dayong, Wen Lang had a strange expression on his face.
"Why did you come back? Didn't you follow?" Wen Lang was puzzled. He didn't just leave for a short time, why did he come back, and he followed Tong Fei three times.
Jiang Dong was more understanding, "Did something happen to you? Did you get hurt?"
Chen Man's expression was a little unnatural, and he had to say something stupid about himself again, and he really didn't know how to speak.
Fan Dayong first said: "We accidentally got separated from the captain and the others. The captain and the others should have reached the holy lake. When we meet Tong Fei and the others, we can only follow them back."
Wen Lang suspected that this Chen Man must have something to hide, but he didn't want to ask too much, and he didn't care too much about the two of them, as long as Brother Qin and the others were fine.
Jiang Dong also turned his head and looked Tong Fei up and down. His whole body was dripping wet, but he was relieved that he was not injured.
After Tong Fei and the others had a short rest and told about the underwater cave, Wen Lang and Jiang Dong looked at each other with thoughtful expressions.
Feng Zhi glanced at the two of them, and said rarely, "I think there should be clues in the cave below, and I should go down again."
