weird fairy tale town

Qi Lin immediately insisted that there was something wrong with the village chief, and Bai Zhe was not surprised.

After all, they have already obtained more hints, and it would be too stupid if they still can't discover the weirdness of this village.

This is obviously not an ordinary level-first of all, the way they enter the level is too strange, and secondly, the tasks and paths are completely unclear.

Although the system explained the background and ins and outs of the village's story, it didn't say anything about their mission goals and how to achieve them. What kind of level is this?

"Observe and see first." Bai Zhe decided, "After all, we haven't even figured out whether we belong to the villagers' side or not."

Qi Lin nodded and smiled slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Zhe glanced at him and asked a little strangely.

"It's nothing." Qi Lin shook his head, "I just feel... This feeling of analyzing and solving problems together has not been seen for a long time. To be honest, since I entered Fairy Tale Town, I always feel that this world treats me strangely. Influenced, but except for me, no one seems to have a similar feeling. There was even a period of time before, I felt that sometimes my thinking was very strange, as if I was out of my control... But after you came, this kind of The situation is almost gone. If you are here, it will be different..."

Qi Lin said similar things roughly once before, but Bai Zhe didn't take it very seriously at that time, but when he heard it again this time, he frowned.

Bai Zhe stared at Qi Lin for a moment, finally pursed his lips and shook his head, "Let's go around first and see the situation in the village."

The two walked around the village and found that the background story of the village introduced earlier was indeed true. The village seemed to be surrounded by an invisible barrier. Can no longer step outside.

But there seemed to be an accident—the two of them made a circle, and finally came to the direction of the back mountain that the village chief said, that is, the back mountain where the group of werewolves usually occupied, but found that they could walk up from here.

This makes things interesting again.

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" Qi Lin asked for Bai Zhe's opinion.

Bai Zhe shook his head, "Don't act rashly on the first day, let's see what happens tonight."

When the two returned to the village after visiting the village, they saw that almost all the villagers were mechanically strengthening their houses. Most of the houses in the village were built by each household themselves, and the village could not communicate with The outside world communicates with each other, so no new materials can be obtained, so naturally there is no other way to repair the house, and in the end it can only be repaired.

However, every villager's eyes are dull, and they are working mechanically. From their expressions, they can neither see pain, fear, nor complaints. It seems that they don't care that if their houses are the worst at night, they will die. Sanglang mouth.

However, it seems that they really don't need to worry too much, because right now, all the villagers' houses... are not as bad as the one where Bai Zhe and Qi Lin live.

The two people who returned to the village thought of this question almost at the same time, looked at each other, and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"I don't know what the rules are at night, and I don't know if there will be any problems." Qi Lin touched his chin and said, "Maybe we should think about this issue outside the rules."

"It makes sense." Bai Zhe agreed, "Since the rules are not clear, it's better to just jump out of the rules. Let's take a look at the specific situation tonight."

So, when the night gradually fell, Bai Zhe and Qi Lin borrowed the food stored in the house and had a simple dinner, then found a big tree at the back door of the village facing the back mountain.

According to the current description of the situation, the werewolf should come down from the mountain and enter the village from this location.

Since the two wanted to observe the situation, they naturally wanted to choose a place with a good view and a secluded place, so they immediately picked the strongest and most lush tree, and climbed up the tree one after the other.

The night had completely fallen, and Bai Zhe found a tree trunk with the most comfortable angle to lean on, as if sleeping on a piece of wood, and said with a smile, "I haven't stayed like this for a long time. Sleeping over at night, it seems that it is still when we are training in the field at school."

Hearing what he said, Qi Lin, who had just found a seat, changed his expression. The night covered up the subtle emotions in his expression, but it couldn't hide the eagerness and cautiousness in his voice, "You...remember gone?"

Bai Zhe didn't intend to hide it from Qi Lin at all, but just after waking up, he found that the two of them had entered the checkpoint again. He was too busy to check the situation before he had time to say anything. Now he is free, Bai Zhe After a moment of silence, he reorganized the past, and finally said to Qi Lin cautiously and tentatively: "What I'm going to tell you may be unbelievable, but I guarantee it's true, you believe it how am I?"

Qi Lin frowned slightly, Bai Zhe had never talked to him with such an attitude, what exactly did he want to say to himself?

However, even though the heartbeat speed in his chest has been uncontrollably accelerated, and all kinds of bad imaginations are surging in his heart, Qi Lin still swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty and said: "I have always believed in you, you If you tell me, I'll believe it."

Bai Zhe sighed slightly.

This day will come anyway, even if he can indeed hide it from Qi Lin now, as long as everything can return to the right track in the future, not only Qi Lin, but even all other former participants in Fairy Tale Town will know the truth of the matter.

Instead of finding a way to explain everything to everyone when the time comes, it's better to look at Qi Lin's reaction first.

Of course, all of the above are actually Bai Zhe telling himself to be rational and to consider the optimal solution to comfort himself.

In fact, he was not afraid that Qi Lin would not be able to accept it, but that he was afraid that he would not be able to accept it.

Although he is still him, Qi Lin is still Qi Lin, and this world is still the world where they once loved each other.

But the world where everything happened is about to be rewritten now.

They have long since lost the whole life in which they experienced everything together. If the current Qi Lin makes other choices, or shows distrust or incomprehension towards him...it is actually human nature.

But Bai Zhe knew that in fact, it was only him who needed to do psychological construction.

He smiled softly, sighed, and said in a slightly rough voice: "This matter... we have to start talking about it 50 years later."

……

……

Let’s talk about 50 years of experience, 50 years of memories, earth-shaking scientific and technological revolution and progress, completely unimaginable international relations and international events, so many things, one after another.

But it doesn't seem to be very strenuous to really start to tell.

Bai Zhe was calmer than he imagined, he could even be said to be very calm and restrained in explaining everything.

However, listening to his narration, Qi Lin, who was standing on another tree trunk, felt that his heart was about to be pulled...

He loves Bai Zhe, he loves it at the first sight, it seems to be unreasonable, there is no reason... Sometimes he can't figure out why he is so persistent, almost unable to turn back at all.

He thought of Bai Zhe's restraint, alienation and hesitation towards him in the past few years...

Hearing Bai Zhe talk about what kind of life they had together, my heart couldn't stop trembling.

He wanted to press Bai Zhe's shoulders, and asked him hissingly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Why didn't you want to share the burden with me?! Why do you have to face everything alone?!"

I also remembered that Bai Zhe said that at the beginning, even Bai Zhe himself found all this unbelievable, and it took a whole year to fully grasp and believe in getting along with the system.

He felt distressed and uncomfortable at the same time, he just wanted to rush over to hold Bai Zhe tightly in his arms right now.

However, a sense of responsibility as a soldier made him control himself - they are still on mission!

So Qi Lin could only tightly clenched his fist, as if he was clenching the invisible red rope between the two of them.

Maybe this is the so-called fate, an inescapable circle...Qi Lin pursed his lips tightly, staring at Bai Zhe in the night, and finally heard him tell that he got his own from the last fragment of consciousness. The memory bank, this is finally remembering everything.

Qi Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Bai Zhe, "... that memory bank... if I have a chance in the future, can I have a look at it?"

Bai Zhe thought that Qi Lin would have many questions to ask himself, but he never expected that his first question would be this one.

However, when he heard Qi Lin's question, Bai Zhe also figured it out in an instant, and then he was relieved... Yes, this is the person he has loved for two lifetimes. How could he doubt him and worry about them this time? Went in a different direction?

They are lovers who can embrace each other even in the doomsday.

"Yes." Bai Zhe's tense voice relaxed, with a hint of lightness and joy, "But it may be necessary to collect all the fragments and reactivate the function of the entire chip. The function of the chip is still a bit worrying."

Qi Lin's heart felt hot.

The memory bank... that is the deepest secret of a person, it hides all the embarrassment and shame of a person, and it also witnesses all of a person.

If Bai Zhe was willing to open up to himself, how could he still have doubts and distrust of him?

No, from the very beginning, he has always trusted Bai Zhe and his intuition.

Qi Lin wanted to say something else, but a wolf howl that pierced the long night pulled the two of them back to the reality of the checkpoint.

Behind the dark clouds, a full moon poked its head out quietly, and the werewolf... went down the mountain!

In the night, Bai Zhe and Qi Lin looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and then breathed lightly at the same time.

Both of them have very good eyesight—especially Bai Zhe, after fusing the four fragments, the auxiliary function of the chip in his eyes has also been restored—at this moment, in Bai Zhe’s field of vision, a group of wolves are moving nimbly From the mountain trail all the way down, rushing towards the village.

And the reason why he can see so clearly, in addition to the function of visual aid, is mainly because... the size of the wolves is too big, it has already surpassed the standard of ordinary wolves by far, and it is completely similar to many western fantasy movies. Gone are the werewolf standards.

If you were to face such a group of guys with outstanding fighting power, there would probably be a fierce battle.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhe clenched the dagger in his hand, and continued to vigilantly track the movements of the wolves.

The pack of wolves was large, with vigorous steps, and soon came to the open space in front of the back door of the village.

Qi Lin turned his head and glanced at the village——in the dead village, every house has its doors closed, and more than half of the villagers don't seem to care about their own lives at all. They simply turned off the lights early and went to sleep, making the village even more sparsely populated Not a trace of anger.

But soon, something that surprised the two happened.

The giant wolf in the lead raised its head and let out a long howl, then stood upright on its hind legs, slowly turning into a human.

Bai Zhe and Qi Lin looked at each other again, thinking that this place is indeed quite miraculous, even the setting of werewolves can be realized, but he didn't expect to see full of doubts and shocks from Qi Lin's expression.

However, Bai Zhe didn't wait for Qi Lin's explanation, and saw that Qi Lin had already started to descend the tree, and even walked towards the werewolf leader.

If Bai Zhe hadn't seen Qi Lin tightly holding a dagger in his hand behind his back, he might not be able to resist going up to escort him.

The sudden arrival of the stranger seems to have disturbed the whole pack of wolves.

The remaining few wolves did not continue to transform, but retreated a little bit, forming an encircling posture together, surrounding Qi Lin in the middle.

Qi Lin looked around vigilantly, but he didn't get too close rashly, but looked at the strong man in the lead, and asked a little uncertainly, "Are you...Scar?"

The man was startled, his expression became a little weird and confused, "Scar? Are you calling me?"

There was also a trace of uncertainty in Qi Lin's eyes, but he nodded and continued, "Yes, I'm calling you, aren't you?"

"Aren't I?" The man's expression seemed even more confused, he shook his head, "I don't know...but it's kind of familiar, Scar, are you calling me? Then who are you?"

The muscles of Qi Lin's whole body are tense, ready to deal with all kinds of situations that may arise next, but at present, it seems that these werewolves are not incapable of communication.

He took a step back a little later, indicating that he had no intention of attacking, "I am 70, if I remember correctly, we should have met in three or four levels."

The man frowned, raised his head and looked at Qi Lin with a very strange look.

And as he raised his head, Bai Zhe also saw the man's face clearly through the moonlight.

This man is full of muscles, and he looks very aggressive at first glance, and there is a long scar on the right side of his face, extending from the brow bone to the chin, which looks very hideous and terrifying, as if He is also constantly reminding others that he is a ruthless character.

It would be quite understandable if this person's nickname was Scar.

And Qi Lin said that they have seen it in three or four dungeons... So, this guy is a player?

Many doubts arose in Bai Zhe's heart.

If the villagers look like NPCs, who have no desire to survive and only know how to live a mechanical life, then if werewolves are players, shouldn't they be teammates with werewolves?

But looking at the confused look on the scar man's face, it seems that he is not.

After all, there is no reason why he doesn't know about a well-known player like Qi Lin... No, he doesn't even seem to know who he is.

The man with the scar shook his head, looking at Qi Lin with a trace of suspicion, "Are you our brother? Why haven't we seen you? What is the checkpoint? Our brothers have always been here, why have we never seen you?" I haven't seen you... who are you?!"

Following the last question from the man with the scar, several other wolves also assumed aggressive postures, as if they were ready to pounce on Qi Lin and kill him if they disagreed.

Qi Lin took another small step back, indicating that he had no intention of attacking, "I may have misidentified the person." He said in a regretful tone, "You look like a friend of mine, I haven't seen him for a long time, sorry... ..."

However, at this time, the scarred man took a step forward and continued to question: "Are you sent by the villagers?!"

"No." Qi Lin shook his head, "I'm not from this village, you still have tasks to perform, I won't waste your time, you go."

After finishing speaking, Qi Lin calmly backed away, leaving the way into the village to the scarred man and the others.

The word "task" seemed to irritate the man with the scar, he slapped his head suddenly, "Yes, the mission is important, brothers, let's go...complete the mission and pass the level!"

After finishing speaking, he stopped caring about Qi Lin, and ran towards the village with a few wolves, and those wolves also turned into humans one by one while running.

Qi Lin, who stood still, looked carefully at the backs of those people, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

When the whole group of the man with the scar ran into the village, Bai Zhe also got down from the tree.

He walked up to Qi Lin and asked, "Is that guy a player?"

Since Qi Lin has such an abnormal behavior, it means that there must be something wrong with that guy.

Qi Lin still frowned, nodded and said, "They are the first batch of players to enter Fairy Tale Town. Because they are very powerful and have unique looks, they are very famous, and they are nicknamed Scar."

Bai Zhe suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at the slaughterhouse in Fairy Tale Town, the clown said that among the top 100 players in Fairy Tale Town, there is only one left in Fairy Tale Town, and it is Qi Lin who was drawn by him... …The other players, logically speaking, should have already got the key to leave Fairy Tale Town and left Fairy Tale Town, so how could they appear here?

"You suspect that there is something wrong with Fairy Tale Town. Those who so-called left didn't even really leave Fairy Tale Town?" Bai Zhe quickly guessed the point of Qi Lin's doubts.

Qi Lin nodded slowly, with an extremely dignified expression, "In Fairy Tale Town, what supports the vast majority of people to continue to struggle is to get the key and leave Fairy Tale Town... If you get the key, you still can't leave Fairy Tale Town If the town..."

Bai Zhe frowned, "What did you hear about leaving the key?"

Qi Lin said in a heavy tone, "There has always been a saying in Fairy Tale Town that people who have successfully cleared Fairy Tale Town will actually return to the real world, as if they just disappeared for a while. But these people who have cleared the customs, but All the experiences about Fairy Tale Town will be erased, and I can't remember everything I experienced here."

"What if it's all fake?"

"What if the key to leaving is not leaving?"

The two fell silent at the same time.
