Bai Li reached out to hold the backpack, not intending to return it to him, "It just looks like it."

"..."

Seeing him lying to the NPC without changing his face, Wen Liangjiu was a little curious, and he was happy to help him fool around, "Is this kind of bag only available in your family, Ruan, in the village? There are entire shelves hanging in the shopping mall outside of us." Both."

"yes……"

Affected by his sure tone, the bearded boss began to hesitate, "So... maybe this is just a coincidence?"

A layer of dirt and dust hangs on the weather-beaten backpack.Baili was a little disgusted at first and wanted to clean it up, but now he felt lucky.Under the shadow of the candlelight, the color and material of the dirty backpack became unrecognizable.

In the game, the task of helping the NPC to retrieve the item must first be issued by the NPC and then completed.Although the hotel owner was asking at this moment, he did not issue a system prompt for the task, indicating that the backpack does not have to be returned.

The usefulness of keeping it should be greater than returning it.Bai Li continued to ask, "Your son, lost one, such a backpack?"

"I do not know."

Through the thick and thick beard, the boss looked embarrassed, "To be honest, because of the busy business, I haven't talked to him for a long time. I don't know what he is doing recently. I should pay more attention to him."

"As for the backpack, all I know is that he has a similar one."

"It was a gift from his mother," said the boss.

At this point, his expression softened, as if he was recalling the good old days, "His mother was very good at doing some needlework. At that time, we A Ruan was a little boy, and we received a cat of this size. Backpack, it looked kind of funny with it on. I remember him like that."

"He cherished the gift very much. I think I made a mistake, he would not have lost the backpack."

"When I was young, it didn't fit on my back, why didn't my mother make a smaller one for me?"

Wen Liangjiu continued, "Since your wife is very good at needlework, this shouldn't be a difficult task for her."

"my wife……"

The good memories come to an abrupt end.The boss shook his head and said in a low voice, "She has been away from me for many years."

"So that's how it is." Wen Liangjiu had already guessed almost the same before asking after seeing a lot of routines in the game's plot, so he was not surprised at this time, "Please forgive me."

"Her passing really breaks my heart."

The boss said, "But it was extremely meaningful and made me proud of her. Before that, we were also mentally prepared and did not experience too sudden grief."

"Well, what do these foreigners know? I can't explain it to them."

The boy who ordered the cup put the cup on the counter after drinking the hot cocoa. The dull sound of the collision was like a sigh, "They won't understand."

"It's true, this is our village's own business."

The conversation between the two confused the players in the lobby.The boss just sighed and didn't want to explain any more. He just reminded, "Have the doors of the store been sealed? Be extra vigilant these days, so don't have any accidents."

"It's sealed, I'm going to check it again."

The conversation came to an end.The two began to check the doors and windows busily, allowing other players to come forward to interact actively, and ignored them except repeating the lines they had already said.

Someone he didn't know ran over to talk to Baili, "Would you like to come to our team? We picked up a lot of props on the way here that can be used together, and the team also has the top [-] bosses in the region to lead them. "

When he was talking to Wen Liangjiu and the NPC, he was closely watched by all the eyes in the lobby, and the backpack that caused the topic in his hand was naturally stared at clearly.

"Thank you, but no need."

Bai Li put away his backpack and refused clearly, "I have a team."

Wen Liangjiu witnessed the whole process of him being poached from the sidelines, and grabbed his shoulders in a natural and flaunting manner, "This is also the big guy in our team. He can fly by himself, so why do you need to take him with you?"

Bai Li lowered his head and bent the corners of his mouth, not breaking away from his wrist on his shoulder.

"you……"

Previously, I was only thinking about how to rub the props in the backpack and didn't pay attention.Now that he recognized Wen Liangjiu's iconic face, the visitor simply gave up, "Farewell."

What kind of monster is a person who has a good relationship with Wen Jiu and can still be called a boss by him?

It's safer to stay far away if you can't win.

"It's all ready."

Except for a spare small door, all the doors and windows have been sealed tightly.The order boy looked worriedly at the ancient clock on the wall, "Why hasn't Ah Ruan come back yet?"

"It's fine in normal times. I don't come home at night these days, and I don't care about safety..."

"Is 'these days' any special days?"

After asking the boss to no avail, Tang Song approached him and slapped him sideways, "If you're so on guard, is there someone coming?"

"not human."

He shook his head mysteriously, "Stop asking. It's late at night, go and rest."

"Is it a secret?"

Tang Song did not give up, and said with a smile, "It sounds like something bad is about to happen. Will we be in danger here? You have to tell us a general idea, so we can have a bottom line in our hearts."

"Otherwise, I don't know when I died suddenly, isn't it very wronged?"

"As long as you stay in the hotel obediently, you will be safe."

The order boy wanted to refute, but he heard the boss interrupt, "What's the point of telling them?"

"Let them know that some preparations are good. lest you sneak out and wander around, and lose your life in vain."

The candlelight flickered again.The boss lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "There are some monsters in the valley behind us."

"Every month in the middle of the month, they will start activities around the village. Every month when the full moon is full, they will definitely run down and attack the villagers' livestock."

He warned, "Tomorrow will be a full moon. It will be very dangerous to go out after dark."

"Isn't it dangerous to hide in the room?"

"of course not."

The boss stroked his beard helplessly, "Those monsters are multiplying very fast. But we also have helpers who help us kill them and control the number on the night of the full moon."

"But not necessarily this year."

The order boy added.

"why……"

"someone is coming!"

Conversation terminated urgently.The boss took a few steps to the small door that was specially set aside, put his ears on the door panel, "Listen."

There was an instant silence in the hotel.

The players who were still discussing suddenly stopped talking, wishing they would stop breathing so as not to miss any plot.Bai Li also held his breath, carefully discerning the clues.

The ground shook slightly, and there were obvious footsteps outside the door.

He Ji covered his mouth and nose, speech bubbles floated above his head, "Wouldn't that Ah Ruan come back?"

"This guy is not the Hulk, how can the sound of his footsteps make such a big noise when he comes back?"

Wen Liangjiu poked him on the head, "Move here. There is obviously more than one person here."

Indeed more than one person.

There was a rhythmic knocking sound outside the door. After listening carefully, the boss showed a disappointed and relieved expression, said "they are here" and opened the door.

A line of 20 people filed in from the night.

Their height and body shape seemed to be carved out of the same mold. They were covered with the same metallic black combat suits, and even wore masks made of special materials on their faces. Their modern clothes were incompatible with the backward environment around them.

Even the frequency of walking steps and the interval between each person's positions are extremely strictly controlled, and the movements are as precise as a robot.

"This way."

The boss pointed them to the long table reserved in the corner.

The group sat down quietly.They sit upright and upright, and they don't talk to each other, and they don't even move from sitting down.After stilling, it looks like a model doll that was mass-produced and placed in front of the shop window.

They haven't made a sound since they entered the door, but their presence is frighteningly high.Seeing that the hotel owner seemed to be surprised, He Ji boldly went to observe it closely, and came back and sighed, "I don't even blink my eyes."

As soon as the words fell, the 20 people finally changed their state - they closed their eyes in unison.

"...you are so imposing even if you close your eyes."

Like everyone else, Meng Lian wanted to poke his finger but didn't dare, "Is this on standby?"

"Could it be the same as us who came to hunt for treasure?"

Teacher Jia said worriedly, "We have no competitiveness at all in this line of business."

I have never encountered NPCs competing with players for tasks before.But it's not impossible.Wen Liangjiu stood up and walked toward the stairs leading to the guest room area inside the hotel, "Go up and have a look?"

"Why are you going? I haven't booked a room yet."

He Ji said, "What if there is still a plot in the lobby and we miss it when we leave? You see, everyone is still here."

"probably not."

Bai Li also stood up and helped to explain, "After all, the NPCs are all on standby."

"..."

Makes sense.He Ji pretended not to see Wen Liangjiu's disgusted eyes, "Then go and have a look."

The stairs are wooden, some years old, and the sound of stepping on it is disturbing.Walking cautiously to the corner, Bai Li paused, "What is this?"

A variety of handicrafts were hung on the dirt wall in front of him as decorations, and in the most conspicuous place in the middle was a small shoulder bag embroidered across the shoulder.Aside from the exquisite embroidery, the workmanship and fabric style are exactly the same as the one he is carrying.

"It seems that what we picked up really belonged to Ah Ruan."

Meng Lian reached out and touched the other decorations beside him, eager to try, "Do you want to take these off and take them with you? Maybe it's a clue!"

"Come on. NPCs are so smart, if they are discovered, they might be with you forever."

Such gentle and meticulous needlework, if you think about the cause and effect, you know that it is probably a relic of the wife.He Ji threatened reasonably, "It's also possible that you might be so angry that you can just fill the pit with you."

"..."

Meng Lian withdrew his hand regretfully, and continued to walk up, "Alright then."

There are very few rooms in the family hotel run by Big Beard, only the second floor.Most of the players were gathered in the lobby. At the moment, the guest room floor was dark, and Bai Li took out the booklet again.

When I was bored practicing this skill, I never thought that one day it would be so useful.

After finishing his own, he turned around to help others, but saw a cluster of flames shaking in Wen Liangjiu's hand.

"Learn fast."

Wen Longjiu said.

"well done."

Baili boasted perfunctorily in his daily tone, and together with him, he helped the others light the torches, and walked along the corridor to observe the guest room area.

The keys to the rooms that have been booked are in the hands of the guests. They cannot open and enter. They can only look for clues from the outside.

Bai Li held up the fire folder and looked carefully in the corridor. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the side face illuminated by the flames, with a focused expression.

He unconsciously relaxed his arm strength.Taking back the booklet, while everyone else was looking for clues, he lowered his voice and asked Wen Liangjiu, "Why do you have so few words today?"

From the moment he entered the room, he seemed to have become the same Wen Jiu as when we first met.Followed with the attitude of a bystander, and occasionally chatted with himself for a while, and hardly spoke publicly.

"I've always said so little."

Wen Liangjiu laughed, the flame in his hand approached him, shortening the distance of the voice together, "You want to hear me talking? What do you want to hear?"

"……no."

Bai Li shrank his neck back, afraid of being burned by the flames he stretched out in front of his eyes, "You don't seem to be enjoying the game very much."

Even when interacting with NPCs to obtain clues, it feels like completing tasks in a formulaic way.Although he is also playing, he always carries the indifference of staying out of things.

This has all been found?

Does he pay special attention to me?

Still concerned about my game experience?

Wen Liangjiu pursed his lips, suppressing the smile that was about to leak out.

"do not worry."

His tone was very pleasant, "I actually enjoy it."

"yes……"

Baili didn't quite believe that his feelings would be wrong, "When?"

"from now on."

Wen Longjiu said.
