Qi Leren listened to Su He's suggestion, he decided to go to Chen Baiqi to learn about the information about Maka Village. Although he would spend some days to survive, he felt that it should be worth it.
When he found Chen Baiqi, she was not in the shop she ran, but on the coast of Sunset Island, lying on the dyke and watching the sunset on the horizon. The little girl who had been with her the whole time squatted on the beach to pick up shells, raised a beautiful conch high and waved it to Chen Baiqi.
In the setting sun, Chen Baiqi's slender and indifferent eyebrows and eyes were dyed by the golden red light, as if detached from the philistine, becoming warm and soft, making people suddenly realize that she is actually just a young woman.
"I didn't expect that you were the first among you to come to me." Chen Baiqi said without looking back.
These words made Qi Leren puzzled. He stood beside Chen Baiqi, lying on the dam like her, looking at the sea level: "Why can't it be me?"
Chen Baiqi smiled silently, handed a cigarette to Qi Leren, Qi Leren shook his head, and said that he would not smoke, and Chen Baiqi did not force himself, lit a cigarette for himself and held it to his mouth.
"I thought that Mr. Su should come to ask me something." Chen Baiqi said lightly.
"Why?" Qi Leren didn't want to act too stupid in front of her, but he really wanted to know the reason.
Smoke spit out from Chen Baiqi's mouth, along with her slightly mocking smile: "You wouldn't think that a player from the Land of Dawn would inexplicably bring three rookies, just because he was kind-hearted? I guess on the airship, he should just want to come to the Land of Dusk by the way, but it is too far from the Land of Dawn to the Land of Dusk. If he brings you newcomers, he can choose to go directly with you when he leaves the dungeon. Landing here saved a lot of time. But now, it doesn't seem to be what I thought."
Qi Le was speechless.
Chen Baiqi changed his posture, leaning back against the dam, with his elbows on both sides naturally, the cigarette butts at the corners of her mouth flickered with the wind from the sea in the backlight, she asked: "Your novice village, should Did something happen?"
"...Yes." Qi Leren had already realized that the woman in front of him was very smart and keen. He should have thought of it long ago. People who can make a career in the nightmare world, no matter men, women or children, will not are ordinary people.
"I heard that players who enter the Land of Dawn will have special permissions and can receive special tasks assigned by the system, such as cleaning up bugs in some dungeons. Compared with ordinary players like us, they are more like GMs." Chen Baiqi After flicking the ashes, he continued, "There are too few people coming out of your novice village. According to common sense, an ordinary novice village will either be destroyed, or more than half of the people will survive, but you have only three newcomers survived. Finally, there is a player from the Land of Dawn, it must be something wrong with the novice village."
"Indeed, there is a player in our novice village who is a serial murderer. He killed a lot of people in the novice village, so not many of us survived. If it weren't for Su He, we might be wiped out." Qi Leren did not hide her intentions and said frankly.
"Player? That's not a bug." Chen Baiqi frowned.
"Yes, so after the investigation, Su He originally planned to leave with suspended animation, but at that time I saved his life... Of course, I actually ruined his plan to leave." Qi Leren said.
Chen Baiqi snorted, looking at Qi Leren with a meaningful look, Qi Leren was a little hairy when she looked at him: "Is there something wrong?"
Chen Baiqi smiled and took another puff: "Mr. Su should like you very much."
"..." Because Qi Lecai had just heard Su He's joke about liking boys half an hour ago, and now the whole person is not well, but soon he realized that what Chen Baiqi said should be ordinary like.
"Mr. Su's behavior, I can only understand that he was interested in one of you, should it be you? Although I don't know how you 'saved' him, but if I were Mr. Su, I would probably also I'm interested in a newcomer like you. As a senior, I spend more time trying to get rid of others than helping each other. I haven't been rescued by a stranger for a long time. If you say Mr. Su, I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities." Chen Bai Qi looked at Qi Leren with a smile that was not a smile, a kind of fun that made the hair stand on end.
A series of barrages in Chen Baiqi's tone spontaneously floated in Qi Leren's mind: Very good, boy, you have successfully caught my attention.
No, he doesn't want this type of royal sister!
"Okay, let's stop teasing you, let's talk about your purpose. You don't want to simply date me to watch the sunset, right? Although it feels good to watch the sunset with Xiao Xianrou, I won't charge you less for it." Chen Baiqi stomped off the cigarette butt, turned his head to look at Qi Leren, and said with a smile that was not a smile.
No, no, no, he only likes the glamorous and cold sister Yu, and he is not sensitive to Chen Baiqi's gratitude.
"There is indeed something to trouble you, about a place called Maka Village..." Qi Le carefully pinched the origin and specific content of the mission, but only said the place name and his own questions, focusing on getting to know Maka. The history of this place in Ka Village.
"Maka Village... I have a bit of an impression." Chen Baiqi folded his arms and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "How long did it take you to survive? This determines how much I can tell you."
"... Not much." Qi Leren said tangled, a pain in the flesh.
"Forget it, you can be cheaper, give me three days, and I will tell you everything I can tell you." Chen Baiqi quickly took out a blank contract, and then generated the content and handed it to the Qi Le people. He signs.
Qi Leren signed his name in a burst of heartache.
Chen Baiqi rolled up the contract and was not satisfied that she only had three more days to survive, but she still fulfilled her promise dutifully: "Maka Village is not too far from the Land of Twilight, and players have passed by there before. That village has a wonderful tradition of sacrificing maidens to demons."
Qi Leren nodded frequently. Chen Baiqi said the same as Su He's guess. The background of this mission should be to sacrifice girls to demons to gain protection or strength.
"This tradition comes from the first demon invasion more than 20 years ago. Maka Village and several nearby villages joined the demons. They kept sacrificing girls in exchange for the protection of the demons. Take thirteen girls as sacrifices and drive them into a great forest, until one of them is chosen by the devil to become a witch who serves the devil."
Chen Baiqi said, looked Qi Leren up and down, and finally his eyes stopped on the painted totem on his left hand: "A few minutes before you came, the people from the court came to me to inquire about some things, and they said that they found something nearby. Two young NPCs were killed, and the murderer was also an NPC, but the strange thing is that these murderers were also killed, and the perpetrators are nowhere to be seen. The time is right, the characters, age and gender are also matched, plus the sudden change in your hand The totem that appeared, tsk tsk, let me guess, you should have seen something you shouldn't have seen just now."
Qi Leren's pupils shrank and his heartbeat was thundering. He didn't expect that Chen Baiqi would dug up so much content from a simple question, and even revealed the identity of his witness! Is she going to tell the court
"But with your strength, I'm afraid you can't do that. Besides, the murderer has already been determined by the trial, but that guy's whereabouts are a mystery, so he came to me and asked. The net is coming." Chen Baiqi looked at him with interest, "I have no interest in telling the court in detail, and besides, I have already charged your time, I still have this professional ethics."
Qi Leren breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at her gratefully. Although it might not be a big deal to be known by the trial that he was an eyewitness, trouble could be minimal.
"Have you seen him?" Chen Baiqi raised his slender eyebrows and asked.
Qi Leren shook his head.
"What a pity, that's a cold beauty." Chen Baiqi said with a smile.
Is the murderer the owner of the talking eagle? Qi Leren was so suspicious that there was a whistle from the scene of the crime, and the eagle flew away. When he chased there, he saw dead bodies all over the ground... From the perspective of time, it should be right.
"Oh, one more thing..." Chen Baiqi saw that the little girl picking up shells on the beach was finally tired of playing, and ran towards her with the shells in her hands, she said, "If he also receives the same Don't fight him anyway, you have no chance of winning."
"I know, I will be careful of her." Qi Leren said solemnly.
From Chen Baiqi's description, he had already sketched the image of an iceberg royal sister, and he should meet her in the mission of sacrificing witches.
"Sister, look at what I picked up!" The little girl has flexibly climbed over the concrete dam and showed Chen Baiqi what she had achieved.
Chen Baiqi fondly patted her head: "It's amazing."
Qi Leren took a closer look, and the little girl's hands were nothing but ordinary shells, and only a small conch looked pretty.
"I will sort out the information about Maka Village and send it to you, and finally give you a piece of advice." Chen Baiqi brushed the sand off his sister's skirt and said to Qi Leren without raising his head.
"Please say."
"Bring some bird food." Chen Baiqi said with a smile, and left with his sister.
Bird food? Qi Leren stared blankly at the figures of the two walking away, but couldn't return to his senses for a long time.
[Second Instance: Sacrifice the Witch]
