Chapter 128 Chapter 120 Six · "My dear child, Poli."

【5 minutes ago】

After Su Mingan put on [Wang Han's Human Skin Mask], he walked towards the mayor's house in his memory.

He expected the situation to be more difficult.

...To save the remaining good players, he needs to seek help from the NPC.

He is close to the mayor's house, which has a high wall and a thick solid wood gate outside.He walked forward, and the door in front of him was suddenly opened.

"Squeak-"

Some dull voices sounded, and the benevolent mayor leaned on a dragon head crutch and looked at him with a smile.

"Ah..." the mayor smiled until his wrinkles were huddled together, he looked amiable, like a patriarch who cared for his children: "You are finally here."

……

"...my dear boy, Polly."

……

Su Mingan was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly heard a system prompt:

[Because of wearing a special prop (Wang Han's human skin mask), the NPC recognizes your identity. 】

[NPC (Mayor of Mitchell Terry Town), has identified you as (Perry Mitchell's premature death son)]

[Current Mitchell favorability: 80 points (family affection)]

……

"Ah." Su Mingan followed his words: "I'm back."

As early as the first day, when the mayor saw his doppelgänger, he said that he was like his child Boli who died young.

After hearing his response, the mayor's smile became more intense, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, intending to hug Su Ming'an.Su Ming'an could only accompany him to act out the scene of "Father's kindness and son's filial piety" and cross the threshold together.

He felt a little wet on his face.

……rain again.

The door behind him slammed shut with a bang, carrying a weird chill in the spring.Through the sudden rain, he saw the two red lanterns hanging at the door in front of the house swinging in the heavy rain, shining scarlet light in the haze, like a pair of eyes of beasts.

The mayor's voice came from beside him with some resentment:

"You're finally back... Boli, I've been waiting for you for so long that I almost forgot when you left..."

Su Mingan couldn't guess why Boli left, and didn't say a word.But combined with the term "early death", the real Poli may have died on the way to leave.

"At the beginning, when you were about to leave, I advised you that the Lord God would not forgive a betrayed child. It was too hard for you to travel a long way and cross mountains and ridges. However, since you are back now... Then everything is fine, rest your feet first, and I will take you to God to make amends..."

Listening to the mayor's next words, Su Ming'an vaguely understood the reason why Boli left in the first place.

He tentatively said: "I travel far to find the faith in my heart."

He saw the mayor's eyes cast over him suddenly, his eyes somewhat frozen through the fine raindrops.

"... Then did you find it?" the mayor asked.

The footsteps of the two stopped in front of the door.

The red lantern swayed slightly, revealing a strange light, like a pair of faint, werewolf eyes.

Su Mingan supported the old man and helped him up the steps in front of him.

"...No, so, I'm back," he said.

Mitchell's smile seemed more genuine.He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Squeak-"

The girl with braids pushed open the door, and when her big beautiful eyes looked over, the eyes were as clear as the sea, sky and lake.

...Jasmine.

Su Mingan was not surprised to see her.

The rustic Jasmine in front of her... Jasmine in the red wedding dress at night, the two Jasmines, what are they?

"Father, this is..." Jasmine's eyes stopped on Su Mingan for a moment.

"I told you, my child Boli." Mitchell responded with a smile: "When he left home, you hadn't come here, and I didn't expect to see him again one day..."

Su Mingan understood the meaning of the mayor's words - Jasmine might not be his biological daughter, but an adopted daughter.

"Hello... come in first." Jasmine nodded reservedly towards him, opened the door and let Su Mingan in.

Su Mingan walked in vigilantly, he had already guessed that this mission was dangerous.He has always been very vigilant about the girl with "sin" in the system prompt.

Entering, he smelled a faint incense burning in the room.

White mist came out of the stove, and he sat down in front of the table, and sure enough, he saw the two tablets on the side.

The teacups are set in front of you, and the tea leaves are floating in the water.

"Bo Li, you are back this time..." The mayor seemed to be about to start a long speech again.

Su Mingan remembered his purpose, and spoke first: "Mayor."

He met the other party's gloomy eyes in the mist of tea.

He changed his words instantly: "...Father."

The mayor's expression eased.

Su Mingan suddenly realized—maybe the mayor didn't fully regard him as his child Boli.

When he showed a little deviation, the other party's eyes were gloomy for a moment, which made him startled.

The mayor, Mitchell, is like a person immersed in his own fantasy, wandering in an illusion that is on the verge of shattering.The mayor seemed to be hypnotizing himself, forcibly identifying him as the "returned child".

Su Mingan probably knew how to speak.

"Father." Su Mingan yelled this word that was unfamiliar to him: "During this trip, I met many travelers from the outside world."

The mayor listened attentively, while Jasmine at the side also remained silent.

"They have helped me a lot, and some people have saved my life." Su Mingan touched the teacup, paying attention to the expression of the other party: "They have been persuading me to go home. They said that the conflict is only temporary, but the family relationship is not. It is eternal. I was too naive to leave in anger..."

"Father, I will go to make amends." Su Mingan raised his head, and looked at the white-haired old man opposite with a very earnest gaze: "The beliefs of the outside world are all false, and this is where I belong."

……

[NPC (Mitchell), favorability: 80+10]

[Current Favorability Evaluation: Beloved]

[Note: The current favorability has been reached (family line·highest)]

[Because of your identity (the person in power), you can make certain demands on the other party. 】

[Note: There are pros and cons to the highest degree of favorability, please proceed with caution. 】

……

"I would like to ask you to help me with one thing." Su Mingan looked at the old man whose expression gradually became eager, and said, "Those travelers from the outside world were also my partners. I think... before completing my atonement, Temporarily suspend their struggle."

...He did not make a request to wipe out all werewolves.

The extent to which these NPCs can intervene in the battles between players is limited.They can't meddle in exile, they can't meddle in nighttime behavior, because these are made by invisible rules, as if independent of this town.

But fights that take place during the daytime free-action session... can be meddled.Su Mingan only needs to protect the players from the good camp during the daytime, so as not to let them be out of the game due to the werewolf's direct attack.

The real outcome...will have to wait until night.

He watched the mayor's expression, and watched the other's expression gradually ease.

"Boli..." the mayor sighed slightly: "Are you sincerely atoneing for your sins to God?"

"Yes." Su Mingan nodded.

He confirmed his guess—Mitchell didn't quite identify him as Poli.Otherwise, Mitchell would not have agreed to his request without asking any reason and carefully considering the loopholes in his words.

This old man... just wants this "Boli" to follow the gods and satisfy his unfinished regrets.

"Yes." The mayor nodded, stood up tremblingly, and leaned on his dragon-headed crutches: "I will temporarily stop the fights between the travelers during the day...but what happens next depends on them."

He turned his head and took a deep look at Su Mingan:
"My child." He slowly came over from the fire like a frozen person, with burning eyes in his eyes:

"……wait me back."

The old man ignored the pattering rain curtain and plunged into it. His thin figure gradually faded away in the light of the red lanterns.

"Squeak-"

Jasmine got up to close the door, then turned around, her eyes as calm as a lake.

Su Mingan originally thought that Jasmine, who had seen through his true identity, was going to make trouble, but she didn't expect her to speak suddenly:
"Perry."

That's what she called.

Su Mingan vaguely felt something was wrong.This kind of unpleasant feeling... He also felt it when facing his strange tablemate Shen Xue.

Jasmine stepped forward, supporting the table with both hands.

Those clean eyes were like mirrors, and he could even vaguely see himself in them.

"Since you're back..."

Her posture was incomparably stronger than before, and he heard her voice very close, with an undeniable meaning:

"...When are you, ready, to marry me?"

"Ding dong!"

A system prompt sounded in Su Mingan's ear.

[Trigger S-rank single-player copy: "Before Dawn"]

— Please see the dawn for her. 】

……
