Between life and death [unlimited]

The rain pouring down from the dark clouds is as abundant and dense as the usual sunshine, and the strong wind is mixed with those raindrops crackling and hitting everything outside.The weather above the head is still terribly gloomy, and it looks as if the end will come in the next second.

The Divine Blessed Knights, who were slowly waking up, were roughly lined up in a line at this time.Counting from left to right, Jiang Li happened to be standing at the second person's position, and there seemed to be eight or nine people on his right.

Then, Jiang Xun first looked to his left, that is, Jiang Ke who was standing at the very edge of the line - the weather above everyone's heads at this moment was as terrifying as the expression on Jiang Ke's face.

In the past, what he saw the most on Jiang Ke's face was his expressionless face, or a deliberate smile that was not fake like he saw the envoy of the Alliance of Gods yesterday.

In short, Jiang Shuang rarely saw Jiang Ke showing such an expression.

The rain is getting lighter now, but it is still falling intensively.The raindrops as fine as a cow's hair were scattered densely on the ground, which looked like mist and light smoke from a distance.

Although there is no trace of ferocity on that cold face like this hazy landscape, it can clearly make people feel that Jiang Ke is on the verge of breaking out at this moment.

However, Jiang Ke seemed to be holding back all the time, and did not break out.She seemed to be suppressing the anger in her heart, but her whole body was still full of the aura of billowing dark clouds comparable to the sky above their heads.

Jiang Ke's current mood is really not good, it can even be said to be very bad.

Because she didn't expect that her ally—the Alliance of the Gods, which is allied with the Divine Blessed Knights, or Apate, who has been cooperating with her, would actually contact Feb secretly, and then betray her at that critical moment .

If you want to say that Jiang Ke hates what others do to her the most in this life, it will undoubtedly be betrayed by someone she trusts.

You must know that the reason why Jiang Ke entered the living space back then was because of the civil strife caused by the "Predator".

Although the situation within the organization was changing rapidly back then, and people from all walks of life were in a very chaotic state, Jiang Ke still occupied an important position.However, at the last critical moment, a temporary mutiny by a subordinate she trusted led to Jiang Ke's failure in the end.

She even paid the price with her life for it.

Unexpectedly, Feb and Apate would join forces now, and play this trick of "drawing the bottom of the pot" with her, which made her experience the feeling of being betrayed again...

Fortunately, God was kind enough to prevent the elites of the Divine Blessed Knights from being wiped out in this operation.

Therefore, after Jiang Ke woke up during the mission, the first thought in his mind was: They must quickly end this special mission that accidentally saved them.

Then, after she returns to the living space, she will definitely make Feb and Apate pay the corresponding price for their actions!

The pain that others inflict on her, she will definitely make others pay back a hundredfold!

Jiang Xun noticed Jiang Ke's lips moving, just when Jiang Xun thought Jiang Ke would say something, unexpectedly after she spoke, she just called everyone to start analyzing this task as usual.

Jiang Ke is also wearing the same vest and jacket as the rest of the people. This is a classic outfit for interviewing reporters outside.Her complexion also slowly returned to normal, and there was no expression on her face again.

"I think our roles in this mission should be reporters, right?" Jiang Ke tried to recall the memories of the roles imposed by the system in her mind.

After James woke up, he immediately left his position and rushed to Jiang Ke's side.

"Yes, Commander." He, who was also dressed as a reporter, replied proactively, "That's the memory in my mind."

Although it is best for players not to reveal their identities in the mission world, James habitually called Jiang Ke the team leader when he opened his mouth.

"James, don't call me that." Jiang Ke's tone still sounded flat, she simply corrected him and said, "This is the mission world, you can just call me Jiang Ke from now on."

This time, the names of the characters in the mission world of the players are still their original names.

After hearing this, James nodded respectfully and said, "Okay."

In fact, this is also a rare time for James to perform tasks with Jiang Ke. Jiang Ke usually prefers to complete the monthly hard tasks independently by herself.After all, Jiang Ke has been in the living space for many years, and the difficulty level of her current hard tasks is no longer comparable to that of ordinary players.

Fortunately, it was a special mission that everyone entered together this time, and the difficulty of the mission would not be increased because of Jiang Ke's joining.

Otherwise, it would be a pity if all of these unlucky Blessed Knights escaped from the "Tiger's Mouth" and were all lost in the mission.

When Jiang Ke didn't open his mouth to speak, the rest of the people present wouldn't open their mouths to discuss about this mission.Everyone is quietly waiting for the order to be issued by the head of the group.

Jiang Ke didn't linger long on the matter of her personal name. She quickly got to the topic and said to everyone: "It seems that our character this time belongs to the same newspaper as this Wei Guoping. Since the task is for us to complete 'Wei Guoping's wish'."

"Then, now we need to determine what Wei Guoping's wish is."

After Jiang Ke said this, he called the name of a knight who was usually in charge of sorting out the information and was very talkative.She said: "Charles, you can briefly tell everyone about Wei Guoping's mission based on your character's memory."

"Okay." Charles has long been used to doing this kind of thing, so he just paused for a moment, as if recalling the memory of the character in his mind, and then said quickly.

"In my impression, Wei Guoping had taken the initiative to come to this village to collect music, but he didn't tell anyone why he came here before he left. So, this time the music should be purely his personal conduct."

Hearing this, everyone followed Charles' train of thought and began to recall the things about Wei Guoping in their minds.

Jiang Xun also began to mobilize the part of his memory that did not belong to him. He suddenly discovered that Wei Guoping seemed to have a good interpersonal relationship at the newspaper—because they, the players, seemed to be Wei Guoping's "friends" in his memory.

"However, half a month ago, news came that Wei Guoping's wife couldn't contact him, so his wife found the newspaper office, and the staff of the newspaper office couldn't tell him about his itinerary..." Charles suddenly sent his His voice was very low, and when he said these key memories, it sounded like he was telling some bizarre story.

"Because Wei Guoping has been missing for more than 24 hours, the police were also involved in this matter. However, everyone followed the route Wei Guoping took at the time to investigate and found that he should have entered this mountain village and never talked to anyone again. contacted."

"According to the investigation by the police, all the local villagers here agreed that they hadn't seen Wei Guoping again half a month ago. Therefore, Wei Guoping's current state is that he disappeared out of thin air for no reason... "

Shire's narration also almost coincided with the memories in Jiang Xun's mind.

This special task, if it is simple, should be very simple - according to the content of the task, players only need to find Wei Guoping and ask him what he wants, and then find a way to help him complete it.

But the problem now is that Wei Guoping disappeared half a month ago, and no one has seen him again, so there is a possibility that Wei Guoping is no longer alive—if this is the case, this mission may still require Players are thinking of other ways to complete it.

Charles's brain was thinking quickly, so after he finished talking about these things, he briefly analyzed with everyone: "At present, our first task is to find Wei Guoping who is in a missing state. After we find it, whether it is Dead or alive... let's talk about what we want to do when the time comes."

And just in the mission world, the main purpose of the colleagues who are Wei Guoping's "friends" coming to Xiaoshan Village this time is also to find out the truth about Wei Guoping's disappearance.

The time when the players arrived was almost evening in this world, and there was no difference between the sky and night at this time. According to the original plan of the characters in the mission, "they" had already contacted the residents of this small mountain village in advance, and they also agreed Will be staying here for a while.

Jiang Ke looked through the misty rain in front of him and looked at the small mountain village at their feet.After Ciel briefly analyzed the mission, she said to everyone: "Follow the plans of these characters first. Now, let's go down the mountain first."

"Ok."

"Yes."

Everyone responded one after another, but they still habitually let Jiang Ke walk in the front.But unexpectedly, Jiang Ke actually let Jiang Lie walk by his side.

The two of them walked in silence, but when they were about to enter the village, Jiang Ke suddenly approached Jiang Li and asked in a very low voice: "Jiang Fei... did you go to 'Enfer' last night? What did you do?"

Then, Jiang Ke turned his head and looked at Jiang Shot again, and said to him in a threatening tone, "I hope you can answer this question truthfully."

Jiang Ke recalled that the day before, in order to express his sincerity in cooperation with the God Bless Knights, Apate took the initiative to reveal to Jiang Ke the location of Jiang Sel, who disappeared for one night. Of course, the "Traveler Hotel" and "Enfer" bars are both Apate's personal property, he knows the situation of the guests entering his territory like the back of his hand.

That's why Jiang Ke was able to find Jiang Xun smoothly in the morning, and brought him back to the God Blessed Knights.

Jiang Xun didn't hesitate too much, and answered Jiang Ke's question directly: "To follow a woman."

He had thought that Jiang Ke might ask him this question before, so Jiang Xun had already made the answer in his heart - he chose to hide the memory of meeting Si Yufeng, which seemed illusory and seemed real.

"Woman?" Jiang Ke felt as if she knew who Jiang Lai was following.She asked again, "Is that the woman I caught just now? Serena?"

Jiang Xun also remembered that James seemed to have called that woman's name before, and it should be the Serena that Jiang Ke was talking about.So he replied, "Yes."

"So, you followed her into 'Enfer' last night?" Jiang Ke asked immediately as if she wanted to know his answer.

"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded.

Although Jiang Xun didn't quite understand why Jiang Ke acted a little anxious, he had an intuition that this incident might have something to do with the final betrayal of the Alliance of Gods.

After Jiang Ke heard Jiang Lai's affirmative answer, his brows suddenly became less anxious.Because she understands everything now.

Sombre should also have been in private contact with the League of Gods. If she had asked Jiang Xun carefully what he was doing before, she might be wary of the League of Gods.

Although Gods Blessed Knights has promised some benefits to Apate in this alliance with the Alliance of Gods, but a high-level organization like them will probably never have a real "friend"—it seems that this time Sombre The benefits to the Alliance of Gods over there should be greater than what she can give.

While the two were talking, they suddenly found that they had walked to the villager's house that these task characters had contacted before.

Jiang Lai, Jiang Ke, James, Charles, and Eric lived in a villager's house.

James saw Jiang Ke talking to Jiang Li before, although he was upset, he never dared to interrupt.However, when everyone came to a bungalow with a somewhat dilapidated appearance, he still couldn't help but said: "Tuan..."

He was used to calling Jiang Ke the head of the regiment, so he blurted out just now and almost called the head of the regiment again.But immediately remembering Jiang Ke's order just now, he had no choice but to change his words: "Uh, we should be staying here temporarily during this time."

When everyone heard the reminder, they all stopped in front of this group of houses.

Naturally, Jiang Ke would not let Jiang Ke do it himself.Therefore, everyone saw James strode forward, politely and gentlemanly knocking on the shabby iron door that was not fully closed.

"Dangdangdang..."

The New Year pictures and Spring Festival couplets pasted on the gate of this house seem to have not been replaced for a long time. Most of the colors on the pictures have faded, and the corners of these papers have been bruised due to countless times of wind and rain. Raised high.

At this moment, the sky outside is still raining lightly. It may be because of the rainy season. The players have been drenched by the rain since it came.And the people who came to open the door from the house in the courtyard also spent more time walking.

When the painted iron door was finally slowly opened from the inside, and a series of harsh noises were made, all the players saw a sallow-faced man protruding from the crack of the iron door. Rise up the faces of malnutrition.

"Who... are you looking for?" A middle-aged man who didn't look too young came out to open the door. He stared at the group of strangers a little too cautiously, as if he was afraid that Jiang Lai and the others were here to rob.

The man's voice sounded a little hoarse, and he didn't speak very standard Mandarin, with a local accent in his tone.

"Sorry to bother you."

At this time, Charles took a step forward and took the initiative to negotiate with the middle-aged man: "We came here from other places to collect folk songs. We talked with you on the phone before. I may trouble you during this time and stay at your house temporarily."

As soon as the middle-aged man found out that his guests had arrived, he immediately opened the door for them, and greeted them courteously: "Didn't you say yesterday that you will take a day to arrive? It's so late today, and you don't want to come here?" Come here. Please come in." But his Mandarin sounded a bit awkward.

"Go help the guests and heat the hot water." Seeing that everyone was more or less drenched by the rain outside, the middle-aged man told his family members very thoughtfully: "Don't catch a cold, the weather is not so good recently. good."

James was the first to enter the house. After seeing the scene in the house, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But soon, after the few remaining people entered the house, their eyes showed exactly the same shock as James's.

Because they all saw a boy who was missing most of his left arm and looked very young. He was using his stump and right arm to hold an old-fashioned iron pot with great difficulty. The appearance of the players boiling water.

A thought immediately came to the players' minds: This little boy with dark complexion but [-]-[-]% similar appearance to the middle-aged man should be the child of the middle-aged man.

Sure enough, the next thing everyone heard was the middle-aged man telling the little boy: "Go get another one, a bigger pot, and boil more water. Mo Chi, there are too many guests this time, so there isn't enough."

The little boy named Mo Chi immediately raised his head, blinked his black eyes like glass balls at the players, didn't say much, just nodded obediently, and went back to the room to find a bigger one. The pot went.
