It's almost like I'm a fairy

late at night.

The mayor and his wife knelt in front of a statue of the letter bird and prayed with palms together: "Please forgive us for the sins we have committed."

They are like believers who have gone mad, and the ferocity in their expressions is just like the bottomless night outside.

His wife, Zhang Weiying, went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of soup. The soup was cloudy with broken feathers floating on it. Gululu drank down a large bowl, and filled another bowl for the mayor.

The mayor drank it with a full face, with some fluff still on the corner of his mouth: "It's really delicious, it tastes the same as it was more than 30 years ago."

However, his lips kept trembling, and even the bruises at the corners of his eyes twitched. The mayor gasped in pain.He slammed the bowl on the table angrily: "That bitch!"

For so many years, I have never seen a tourist who dared to beat the mayor.

As a sacrifice, but without the consciousness of sacrifice.

The wife sneered and said, "He won't be rampant for too long. I saw black feathers fall in his room with my own eyes."

The mayor was still worried, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "What if the person who got the red feather didn't have any malicious intentions?"

"Impossible," the wife said decisively, "Look at the way he beats people, he is used to being arrogant. How can such a person be kind to others?"

The mayor felt the same, the gloating in his eyes was about to materialize, and he bowed to the letter bird again, the curvature of his mouth was still there when he lay down on the bed.

There was a muffled sound from upstairs, and the wife said excitedly, "I just said, he is definitely going to die."

Only then did the mayor close his eyes in satisfaction, and prepared to go to bed early so that he could collect the body the next day.

The muffled sound could not be heard at the back. In her sleep, the wife suddenly opened her eyes and pushed the mayor: "Did you hear anything?"

The mayor pricked up his ears, frowned and said nothing. It was hard to describe what kind of sound it was, as if the winter snow was pressing on the treetops, and the trunk could no longer bear so much weight.

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the entire ceiling fell down. The mayor was stunned, his eyes widened, and gold coins fell from the sky all over the sky. After a second of sluggishness, he quickly covered his head with his arms.

"what--"

A piercing scream pierced the night of the town.

……

Because Qi Tianhe was worried about Bai Chan's situation, he hadn't fallen asleep for the time being, when the game prompt sounded suddenly:

[backtracking.

Backtracking time point: eight hours ago.

Backtracking reason: The main NPC died.

NPC's cause of death: was killed by money, it has been detected that it is an accident. ]

Before Qi Tianhe could react, his stomach suddenly felt nausea that only occurs when motion sickness occurred. His hand flicked aside, trying to grab something that could stabilize his body so that it would not sway.

"Just wipe it off with a rag."

Qi Tianhe stood where he was, looked down at his hands, and took some time to realize the reality.The master had just repaired the window, and the sun was still shining at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun shone in, and the stains on the glass were clearly visible.

Qi Tianhe was startled... Back in time?

Regardless of talking to the master, he ran all the way outside, and when he arrived at the gate of the mayor's house out of breath, several people were already standing there.

At a glance, except for the bandage man, all the other players are there.Liu Tianming was drinking iced red bayberry juice, and Qi Tianhe was so envious: "Where did you get the money?"

Liu Tianming: "It was given by the candy shop owner yesterday."

"..."

A paper airplane floated down from the second floor, flew twice in mid-air, and landed precisely at the foot of Qitian River.The rest of the people looked up reflexively, and Bai Chan leaned against the balcony, teasing in a tone:

"What are you doing standing here?"

The sun was dazzling, Zhu Shuse covered his eyes with his hands and smiled, "You should know best."

Apart from Qi Tianhe, this is the first time Baichan has appeared in the field of vision of other people. He is dressed very simply, with black trousers and a T-shirt, and a solid-color peaked cap on his head. The most eye-catching thing is that She has long hair, and the quality of her hair looks better than Zhu Shuse's.

Bai Chan walked downstairs and yawned: "There was an accident, the mayor and his wife were unfortunately crushed to death last night."

Talking about misfortune, there was no trace of pity in his eyes: "These two are probably key figures, and the dungeon will not let them die for the time being, so we can only go back."

After explaining in a few words, he calmly seemed to be talking about trivial matters in life.

Zhu Zhaoyu is an old player, but not a returnee. As for Zhu Shuse, he wears a pair of black gloves and cannot see the number of times he has played dungeons.

At this moment, Zhu Zhaoyu happily pulled his sister down: "So, if you kill an NPC, you can go back in time?"

Isn't this equivalent to an in-situ resurrection point?

Zhu Shuser obviously knew more, so he glanced helplessly at his stupid brother: "It is basically impossible for the main NPC to be killed by the player, when you go to stab him with a knife, you might stumble and fall to your death first. "

Bai Chan raised her eyebrows: "It seems that this girl is very experienced."

Zhu Shuse: "I tried it a few times before, and later found that once the player has the intention to kill the main NPC, the other party seems to have the legendary luck protection."

So she was even more curious about how Bai Chan killed the NPC.

"I really didn't want to kill them," Bai Chan shrugged innocently, "It was just an accident."

Qi Tianhe was considering whether to take the initiative to talk to Baichan, to expose their acquaintance, when a shadow appeared in front of him, Baichan walked up to him: "Going to a restaurant? I'll treat you."

Qi Tianhe nodded without hesitation.

Bai Chan squinted at Liu Tianming: "Someone of you buys juice for free, but I won't."

Liu Tianming did not expect that he would talk to himself specifically, asking, "Is the mayor at home?"

Bai Chan nodded.

Liu Tianming stepped forward, as if about to knock on the door.

Baichan had already walked some distance away from Qi Tianhe, and said one more sentence: "The mayor likes to invite guests to drink Jiguo soup, so forget it if you have a bad stomach."

The town is not big, but there are many types of restaurants, ranging from hot pot restaurants to tea houses.

Bai Chan chose a well-decorated store, and after entering, he ordered a few signature dishes. Qi Tianhe glanced at the prices on the menu, and asked Chi, "Are we going to eat Bawang's meal?"

Bai Chan took out a string of big gold chains from his pocket: "I have money."

"..."

"When going back in time, I used a little trick to leave it behind."

Qi Tianhe's throat moved: "What happened last night?"

The well-behaved mayor and his wife were crushed to death. Judging by Bai Chan's appearance, they seemed to have made a fortune.

Just at this time, the boss brought a free fruit tea and interrupted their conversation.

Bai Chan stared at the stretched tea leaves in the cup, her eyes were incomprehensible.

Seeing him in a daze, Qi Tianhe couldn't help shaking his hand: "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Chan picked up the teacup but didn't drink it: "I remember when we first met, you were only in the third year of high school."

Speaking of the past, Qi Tianhe also felt a little emotional: "At that time my family was still going through a bankruptcy crisis, and you wanted to use this as a breakthrough point to lure me into the game..."

Bai Chan smiled: "Obviously this breakthrough point is useless."

"...Indeed, soon after the college entrance examination was over, the family business was back on track. I took advantage of the game to start my business."

Bai Chan took a sip of tea: "How serious was your family's situation at that time?"

Qi Tianhe thought about it for a while: "My parents have been hiding the details, but I can feel it more or less. The business partner I cooperated with ran away, and the company I contacted suddenly withdrew their capital... Anyway, it was very unlucky. During that time, investment was not going well. "

He was already very perceptive, so he squinted his eyes and asked, "Could there be something else hidden about the so-called bankruptcy?"

Bai Chan's face remained unchanged: "I was wondering if your parents offended someone and were hindered by it. The man in the bandage seemed to be targeting you at first."

The perfect logic dissipated the suspicion that Qi Tianhe had just had, and turned to recall his family's business partners.

Bai Chan didn't tell him the truth, and he couldn't be sure of the identity of the other party. If they were really father and son, the bandaged man's attire was enough to explain some problems: he was not in the mood for a bitter acquaintance for the time being.

"No, I was led astray." Qi Tianhe cleared his throat: "You haven't said what happened last night."

Bai Chan: "He sent me a biohazard."

"..." Seriously?

Making sure he didn't see the meaning of the joke, Qi Tianhe clicked his tongue and said: "It seems that this person is a real psycho, I have wronged you."

Bai Chan accidentally choked on the tea.

After a meal, the sun is about to set.

Bai Chan really used the gold chain to pay the bill, Shi Shiran left while the boss was stunned.

Standing on the street, Qi Tianhe was slightly melancholy: "The special branch line has not been triggered yet."

He still carries the lucky booster coupon with him.

Bai Chan: "The dungeon's exploration rate is at least 50%, and the special branch will automatically appear...We don't have enough clues right now."

After only two sentences, a warm orange-yellow was cast from the sky, heralding the complete arrival of dusk.

"Feather..." After going through it several times, Qi Tianhe was able to treat it with absolute normality. He looked at the sky not far away: "Which one of us does it like more?"

Feathers fluttered down.

Qi Tianhe: "Oh, it's me."

There are red words floating on the front: Zhu Zhaoyu.

A realistic portrayal of reincarnation in heaven.

Feathers can be changed hands, Qi Tianhe is really not interested in throwing knives at each other, so he finds Zhu Shuser and his brother next to the Xinniao sculpture: "For an exchange, I will give you the feathers, and share the clues I get."

Zhu Shuse shook his head.

Qi Tianhe didn't expect her to refuse.

"This thing reflects the truth in his heart. Of course I hope he can get clues, but he can't resist the subconscious."

Zhu Zhaoyu on the side was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Shuse: "My aim has always been to hope that you get enough exercise, this is the truth."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that," Zhu Shuser said coldly, "I can't hypnotize myself."

"The breastplate..."

"Having equipment is convenient for training, so I have always wanted to make up a set of protective props for you."

The negotiation broke down, and Zhu Shuse wanted to take Zhu Zhaoyu back, but the latter was not very happy, and muttered all the way: "I didn't go back before dusk today, the owner probably even wants to kill me."

Looking at the figures of the two men drifting away, Qi Tianhe was stunned: "She didn't even ask me for a feather."

Bai Chan: "If you didn't show up, she might still be worried."

Qi Tianhe immediately understood: "Come here as soon as I receive the item, which means that I don't have any hatred in my heart because of the knife in the sky that night."

Baichan nodded: "So it's you who should be worried now. What do you want to give Zhu Zhaoyu the most?"

Qi Tianhe fell into deep thought, shook his head, expressing that he had nothing to give.

He never gives in vain.

Bai Chan: "Well, I'll go to your place tonight."

When passing by the house where Liu Tianming was staying, Qi Tianhe specially came to communicate with the owner, and learned that the other party had not returned, and he was not seen on the street, so he couldn't help but began to suspect that Liu Tianming hadn't left the mayor's house yet.

Qi Tianhe: "Go and have a look?"

Bai Chan has no objection.

The windows of the mayor's house were locked tightly at all times, and Bai Chan knocked on the door, and the stuffy air with a faint fishy smell wafted out.

Earlier when Qi Tianhe came here, he turned on an electric fan, but now the electric fan is not working, and the mayor and his wife have a strange smell on their bodies.

"Your living environment is too bad." Qi Tianhe felt a little sympathetic.

Bai Chan lightly tugged at the edge of the loose T-shirt, as if implying that he was starved and thin here.

"I know how to cook a soup all day long, which is full of feathers, and I have to go out and ask others for food."

As if to confirm his words, there was a large basin in the middle of the dining table, with a layer of oil on the surface, and chopped vegetable leaves floating on the top. Qi Tianhe stirred it gently with a spoon placed in it, and it was full of finely chopped feathers.

The mayor was very dissatisfied with Bai Chan's complaint, and his thinning hair almost stood up: "This is Jiguo soup, which has saved many lives in a disaster year."

How much water is mixed with this sentence, Qi Tianhe feels that it is almost like this soup that does not deserve its name.

The mayor looked at Qi Tianhe: "Since we are here, let's drink together."

Qi Tianhe didn't appreciate it, and looked left and right: "My friend just came here, has he left?"

"No." The mayor said with a smile: "He seems to be very interested in my cellar, and offered to visit it."

Seeing that Qi Tianhe didn't speak, the mayor asked while serving soup, "Why, do you want to see it too?"

"Of course." Baichan came over to answer for Qi Tianhe.

"Follow me." The mayor's wife suddenly appeared from behind, holding a flashlight, and led them out through the back door.

Not far from the vegetable garden, there is an oval-shaped deep pit, which is estimated to be about four or five meters deep. There are no stone steps, and the only way to get down is by a ladder hanging from the side.

"It's right here." The mayor's wife handed them the flashlight and reminded them kindly: "Don't fall."

She stood on the edge, as if she wanted to see the two go down with her own eyes.

To prevent the mayor's wife from tampering with the ladder, Bai Chan asked Qi Tianhe to go first, and then jumped halfway down under the cold eyes of the mayor's wife.

"Let's go." There was no light in the cellar, and Bai Chan turned on the flashlight.

Qi Tianhe: "I hope she won't wait at the exit with a knife when she comes out."

"As long as you don't get mad enough to throw a boulder down to block the road, it's not a big problem."

There are many vats on both sides, Qi Tianhe opened one, and the strong smell of kimchi came over his face, he quickly covered it: "It's unlikely that the road will be blocked, unless you don't want these vegetables."

The psychological shadow left by the famine back then is not small, and you can still see a lot of hoarded vegetables when you walk inside.

Qi Tianhe stopped suddenly, and Liu Tianming in front of him was lying on his stomach in front of a large vat, his hands firmly grasping the sides, his head lowered and motionless, not knowing what he was concentrating on, but he didn't respond to Qi Tianhe's call.

The two looked at each other, and Baichan handed the flashlight to Qi Tianhe, the beating flame flickering in his palm: "I'll go and see."

Squatting in the jar was a swollen child, with his bloodless face upturned, and his nose and mouth were soaked.Bai Chan glanced at it, not quite understanding: "What's so interesting? As for being so preoccupied."

After speaking, he picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the tank.

There were ripples on the water surface, and the child stretched out a bloody hand angrily, trying to pull Bai Chan into the tank, but unfortunately the latter didn't give him this chance and withdrew a long way early in the morning.

Liu Tianming stood up straight, and stretched his stiff cervical spine: "This child probably hasn't had a childhood, and he insists on playing a game where wooden men are not allowed to move."

When Bai Chan asked about the child's identity, Liu Tianming said he didn't know, and only said that he was here as soon as he came.

Qi Tianhe walked forward at some point, stopped a few meters away and looked on tiptoe: "It should be the mayor's child, they all have high foreheads and very similar eyes."

Bai Chan and Liu Tianming looked at him with slightly incredulous eyes at the same time, not understanding how the other party managed to see the similarity of facial features in the unrecognizable corpse.

Qi Tianhe's observation continued: "There is a birthmark on the neck, and the mayor also has it."

The child was no more than 12 years old when he died. He pondered for a while: "The bookstore owner said that in Yi Town, the position of mayor is usually handed down directly. The mayor is still the mayor at this age. It's not normal."

Liu Tianming's eyes fell on the swaying water: "If the mayor has no children and is getting old, sooner or later there will be newcomers competing for this position."

In fact, on the contrary, since the player came to this town, he has never heard anyone talk about related topics.

The water tank regained its calm, but within a few seconds, the lids of the surrounding kimchi tanks were lifted one after another, and at the same time, there were children's laughter.

"Eat meat, eat meat!" The swollen child came out of one of the vats, holding the tail of a dead mouse in his hand, and threw it at them: "Eat quickly!"

The rat hit Qi Tianhe's toes, and then the ground shook, an iron gate fell behind him, and the road ahead was blocked, and several people were caught off guard and locked in a cage.

Qi Tianhe wanted to take out the small shovel, but his fingers seemed to be stopped by a mysterious force, unable to take out anything.He glanced at Liu Tianming, who also shook his head: "The destructive props can't be taken out."

"Eat!" The child piled up a few more dead mice and insisted, "Eat, let's go..."

Qi Tianhe understood: "If you eat it, let us go."

The kid nodded, then clapped wildly.

Bai Chan suddenly said: "I'm not interested in dead rat meat, I'm interested in other things."

The child looked at him vigilantly, and stepped back a distance unconsciously.

"Don't scare the child." At this time, Qi Tianhe showed a gentle smile, and walked forward on his own initiative. He didn't know what he said softly, and the child sat cross-legged on the ground, a little tangled.

Qi Tianhe was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for him to make a decision.

Not long after, the child silently picked up the dead mouse on the ground and put it in his pocket, and the iron door behind him opened at this moment.

Qi Tianhe put away his smile: "Let's go."

The mayor's wife was still standing at the entrance of the cellar, and she seemed very surprised when she saw the three of them coming out together.

Qi Tianhe paid special attention to it, and made sure that she didn't have a knife in her hand before she began to climb the hanging ladder. The temperature difference between inside and outside was huge, and as soon as she came out to breathe the hot and dry air, the warmth returned to her body.

"It's not good to have too much food, you have to eat fresh." Qi Tianhe unexpectedly did not forget to give her an opinion.

The mayor and his wife were quite dissatisfied with the fact that several people were still alive. After entering the door, Qi Tianhe saw a thermos bottle and asked for water.

The mayor poured it for him himself. The water had a strange smell and was salty.

Qi Tianhe frowned, and looked back at Bai Chan: "What kind of life have you been living this day?"

When the opponent was still a parrot, even though the two sides had a cold war over the quasi-player, he never treated it badly.

Bai Chan shook her head: "The quilts here are all damp.

"

The mayor and his wife had had enough of the 'tricky' guests, and directly issued an order to evict them. When Baichan was about to go out with Qi Tianhe, the mayor said coldly: "You have violated the access control system once, and if this happens again, Our family will no longer provide accommodation, nor will anyone else in town."

Bai Chan turned around with a stern expression, praying for Tianhe to stop him before he spoke, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about me, I already have a way to deal with tonight."

There is almost no such thing as being brave in Qi Tianhe's personality traits. Seeing his confident appearance, Bai Chan reminded: "If you can't hold on, let the dead dog frighten you, and run this way by yourself."

Qi Tianhe nodded.

The mayor's house seemed to have something that attracted Liu Tianming. After Qi Tianhe left, he made an unbelievable request, saying that he would stay here temporarily tonight.

Mayor: "If you don't receive the feather, you can stay for one night, but there is no other room for you."

In the evening, a small episode happened. A thief broke into the house, and the mayor's wife chased him away with yelling and cursing.

"There are thieves in this town. It seems that the townspeople can't believe everything they say."

Liu Tianming and Baichan shared a room together, neither of them intended to rest tonight, Baichan stood by the window, Liu Tianming wandered in the corridor for a long time on the pretext of going to the bathroom, and drew the structure of the house when he came back picture.

Seeing that Bai Chan was still standing there: "Are you worried about Qi Tianhe?"

Bai Chan didn't deny it: "Yizhen pays attention to benevolence and charity, and the word 'giving' is the key point. If you don't have anything willing to share from the bottom of your heart, it will be more dangerous."

This danger is roughly equivalent to a rule of death.

And Zhu Zhaoyu is just an ordinary passer-by to Qi Tianhe, with no affection or resentment, how can there be anything he is willing to give from the heart?

The starting point is different, and the angle of looking at things is naturally different. In Liu Tianming's eyes, Qi Tianhe is a returnee, so he said it very casually: "He should have a lot of experience in dealing with this dead situation."

At the same time thinking about the relationship between Qi Tianhe and Bai Chan, the two obviously know each other, but Qi Tianhe didn't know about Bai Chan's copy, and he treated this "transparent person" player with the same vigilance as others .

"He is different from ordinary players," Bai Chan lowered his eyes: "His heart is soft, and in a sense, he is too kind."

There was a scream from downstairs, and the two looked at each other. When they rushed down, the door of the mayor's room was open, and the couple were not there. The window was wide open, and a white phantom flew outside.

Liu Tianming frowned: "What happened?"

In less than 5 minutes, the prompt sounded:

[backtracking.

Backtracking time point: eight hours ago.

Backtracking reason: The main NPC died.

Cause of death of NPC: Suffocated to death, it has been detected that it is an accident. ]

After the familiar twirling, the sun appeared in the same position in the sky, and there was still some time before dusk.

Naturally, Bai Chan went to look for Qi Tianhe first. When he went back for the first time, the man in the bandage did not appear, but now he was standing downstairs in Qi Tianhe, heard footsteps, and looked here.

Zhu Zhaoyu came late, before approaching, he raised his voice and asked Baichan, "Why are you backtracking?"

Bai Chan said coldly: "You shouldn't ask me that."

Zhu Zhaoyu was stunned: "It has nothing to do with you? Then Qi Tianhe asked me who I want to take the black feather for?"

Bai Chan frowned: "He took two feathers at the same time?"

"Of course not." Zhu Zhaoyu: "He said that the giver and receiver cannot be the same person. This is most likely a rule of death, so I transferred the feather to my sister, and the two of them went away for some reason."

Someone was repairing the windows on the second floor, Qi Tianhe came down from upstairs, and brought them a bottle of ice water by the way.

The feeling of icy coolness is a kind of enjoyment in summer.

At this moment, Zhu Shuse happened to be walking in the direction of the Xinniao sculpture.

Zhu Zhaoyu was very curious, and quickly asked, "Sister, what happened?"

Zhu Shuse looked at Qi Tianhe: "Last night he asked me to go to the mayor's house to attract the mayor's wife's attention alone, and then I went down to the cellar and gave the feather to a child as he said."

After a pause, he said, "That kid is not bad, and he revealed a few key pieces of information."

Liu Tianming's eyelids twitched when he heard the words: "And then?"

This time it was Qi Tianhe who spoke, and he said in a compassionate tone: "The child died tragically in the cellar when he urinated, and I want to give him a home from the bottom of my heart... I pray that Xinniao can send the mayor and his wife there."

Liu Tianming was completely silent after listening to it. After a long time, he picked up someone's meaningful evaluation last night and asked Bai Chan: "Soft heart? Too kind?"

When no one was paying attention, the man in the bandage also gave Qi Tianhe a very complicated look.

The author has something to say: Qi Tianhe: They don't even give you a good meal. I think this is not pleasing to the NPC.

Baichan: You are just too kind, and you always consider others, so it is easy to suffer.

Liu Tianming: ...I suspect they used the Beep skill on me.
