Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

Tiedan is dead, and his body has aged rapidly, turning into a pile of rotten bones.

Ailian, who had been with him in the yard, was now missing.

"Ah, this...how did Tiedan die? Who killed him? Could it be that little girl Ailian? If she killed him, then where is she now?" Lu Zhou said in surprise.

"It's unlikely." Zhen Zhen analyzed, "If Ailian had the means to kill Tiedan, why would she specially run to this yard and ask us for help?"

Jiang Lai was also inclined to believe that Tiedan died at the hands of some other mysterious person, and perhaps Ailian was also taken away by the guy who killed Tiedan.

Just as the players were looking at each other in confusion, all of their personal panels popped up, showing updated system notifications.

"Side Quest 1: Completion 10/"

"Side Mission 0: Completion "

“Completing the side quests can unlock clues to the main quests and help players clear the current instance.”

"The remaining time of the current copy: 90 hours"

This copy is quite vague.

With less than four days left in the dungeon, they still didn't know what the two side quests the system mentioned were, nor did they have a way to deduce the specific content of the main quest that needed to be completed in order to leave the dungeon by looking at the side quests, that is, the conditions required to clear the dungeon.

Jiang Lai frowned, burned Tiedan's body, and looked at the trickling rain falling from the sky. He felt a little annoyed by the riddle-like setting in this copy.

On the other side, Xingwang also noticed something was wrong.

He sent Tiedan to call Ailian, but Tiedan had not returned yet.

He vaguely felt that things seemed to have changed, so he arranged for a few capable men to go to Tiedan's house and Ailian's house to find out what was going on.

It turned out that no one was at Tiedan's home, and Ailian was not at home either.

Her grandmother, Xiufen, who had been ill for a long time, collapsed weakly on the bed. She looked emaciated and was about to die.

"We must find them, especially Ailian." Xingwang instructed others after learning all the circumstances.

Speaking of Ailian, there was an evil light in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Ailian...she will grow up and become like Niu Lingling..."

Having said that, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and revealed a cruel smile.

"So, as the sacrifice for this year's Niu Festival, Niu Lingling will have a successor."

"Uh, Xingwang, what should we do with those teachers?" Baozhu asked.

He didn't know how Xingwang could still laugh when faced with such a strange situation where Ailian and Tiedan were both missing, and those teachers who were obviously not normal.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the smile on Xingwang's face became even more crazy and ostentatious.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, they are not teachers. They are the most important villagers in our Pingguling Village, our family, and our children are awesome!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As Xingwang spoke, he laughed out loud, laughing so hard that tears came out.

……

Eight players gathered in Jiang Lai's room, drinking tea and watching the heavy rain outside.

"Oh, it's so frustrating. I don't know when this heavy rain will stop." Lu Zhou frowned and said, "The rain is getting heavier. How can we go out to look for clues? But now we only have 90... No, we only have 89 hours and 57 minutes left..."

"We might as well use the time now to review the clues at hand." Jiang Lai said: "Xingwang's group of children should be old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. And in Pingguling Village, there are also more than one victims who were fabricated into sacrifices for the Cow Festival like Lu Pingting."

"Well, I have some ideas about those two side quests." Hu Zhiguo said, "One of the side quests should be to complete the internship report we got when we entered the dungeon. We need to get the seal of the village committee and the signature of the village chief."

Jiang Lai nodded.

But Lu Zhou shook his head and said sarcastically, "Rather than saying it's the village committee's seal and the village chief's signature, it's better to say it needs Xingwang's permission. After all, that guy is already able to cover the sky with one hand in this remote place."

"Signing and stamping the blank internship report must be a necessary condition for us to pass the copy and leave here."

Li Wei nodded, expressing his approval of Hu Zhiguo's idea.

"The difficulty is how can we get the seal and signature. If we have to satisfy Xingwang before we can leave, we may never be able to leave here."

Now the whole village is controlled by Xingwang and his gang.

If they don't get Xingwang's consent, I'm afraid even the village chief will be helpless and will definitely not sign or stamp their internship report.

But if they want to get Xingwang's consent, the eight players will have to pay a greater price, and they may even never be able to leave this place.

This seems to be an unsolvable problem.

They currently have no idea what to do.

"Since we have no idea about Task 1, let's discuss the 10/ of Side Task that we have unintentionally completed," Jiang Lai said.

"I also have an idea about the first side quest." Yao Dong said, "I found that there are ten boys in Xingwang's group in the village. Now Tiedan happened to be dead. We have completed 1/10 of the side quest. Does this mean that as long as we kill the remaining boys, we can successfully complete the first side quest."

"I don't think that's necessarily the case." Zhen Zhen denied, "The captain also said before that there must be more than one victim like Lu Pinting who was made into a monster sacrifice in this village."

"Perhaps the reason why we have completed 1/10 of the side quest is that we found a sacrifice and eliminated her. Maybe there are nine other sacrifices like Lu Pingting in this village. Maybe the side quest is for us to find all the sacrifices and eliminate them one by one."

"Both situations are possible." Jiang Lai said, "Currently, the sacrifices are scattered throughout the village, in the dark. We need to find them bit by bit and let them deal with them. As for Xingwang and his group of monsters..."
