It's almost like I'm a fairy
Chapter 57 Yizhen
The mayor and his wife were forcibly taken by Xinniao to the child... The child in the cellar showed his face for the first time by poking his head out of the tank, and tried to drag the white cicada into it. It can be seen that they died very badly last night. How tragic, most of them were stuffed into the vat and suffocated to death.
And the culprit of everything is swearing that he just wants to give the child a home, how can this be washed?
Facing Liu Tianming's questioning, Bai Chan calmly said: "Not only has the NPC's wish come true, but he has also successfully obtained clues. Everything he does is more for the team."
"..."
Liu Tianming had nothing to say.
After feeling for a moment, Qi Tianhe's "kindhearted heart," the player's focus is still on the clues in Zhu Shuser's mouth.If the amount of information collected does not reach 50%, the special branch cannot be opened. Zhu Shuse seems to be aware of this, so he will not hesitate to share some clues for the time being.
"According to the child, many people do not have enough food during the drought, and the letter bird often hovers in the air and throws down some wild fruits. Therefore, the townspeople regard it as a god to save them. Every day, people sit at the entrance of the town and wait. The letter bird is coming."
Zhu Zhaoyu couldn't figure it out: "They can follow the birds to find fruit trees."
Zhu Shuse asked his brother to think for a second before asking a question next time before speaking: "I must have searched nearby, not to mention that the range of activities of birds is much farther than that of people."
Zhu Zhaoyu curled his lips: "What happened next?"
Zhu Shuse showed a strange smile: "The severe drought lasted for a long time. At the beginning, Xinniao was a god in people's hearts. However, after several months, it still didn't rain, and Xinniao was no longer a god in their eyes. .”
Zhu Zhaoyu: "What is it if it's not a god?"
Zhu Shuse looked at him coldly.
Zhu Zhaoyu smiled bitterly, scratching his head to express that he would think independently.
"Food." Qi Tianhe said coldly.
Zhu Zhaoyu was stunned for a moment: "No way? If Xinniao hadn't brought them food, many townspeople would have starved to death."
At this time, Bai Chan suddenly said in a nonchalant manner: "If it weren't for your sister, you would have died long ago."
Zhu Zhaoyu just doesn't like to think, which doesn't mean he has no brains. He saw a lot of dark things in the dungeon, and after thinking about it, he understood that even if Xinniao is really a mountain god, he would be treated as food if he was extremely hungry.
"From the current point of view, this should be regarded as the main line of the story," Zhu Shuser: "The core is revenge. The letter bird brings fruit but is rewarded with kindness and revenge. After death, the resentment lingers. The child's role in this is yet to be discovered."
She had a feeling that maybe the child was the heart of the story.
Qi Tianhe looked up at the sky: "I don't know whose hand the feather will fall into later."
Bai Chan: "A feather is just a form, it cannot be repeated forever."
Liu Tianming also nodded: "For dungeons with S+ level difficulty, the death rules will not be as gentle as they are now."
The master repaired the window and came out, politely asked Qi Tianhe to check it, Qi Tianhe repeatedly said no, the master said that if there is any problem, he can come to him at any time, and he will rework for free.
Looking at the back of the master wiping away his sweat, Qi Tianhe sighed: "No wonder the people in Yizhen are so friendly, everyone is afraid of leaving a bad impression in others' hearts."
"Some things can't be resolved through friendship," Zhu Zhaoyu said in a particularly gossipy tone: "The house where I live, the owner said that his neighbor next door once received a cuckold from a friend."
"..."
Zhu Zhaoyu told them the whole process with relish, because they were all waiting for the feather to return, and everyone had nothing to do right now, so they sat on the side of the road and listened to him, bored.
Before dusk fell, a man and a woman walked up ahead, and Zhu Zhaoyu suddenly shut up.
The mayor and his wife held a big black umbrella and appeared in the field of vision of everyone. This is a different direction from the previous backtracking.
"I have to go back to have dinner before dusk." The mayor has long since lost the benevolent look at the beginning, and emphasized with a serious look.
Zhu Zhaoyu always felt that their state was a bit strange, especially when facing Qi Tianhe and Bai Chan, the strong hostility was about to overflow, so he couldn't help but ask implicitly: "Do you think their expressions are complicated?"
As a professional psychiatrist, Qi Tianhe gave an accurate translation: "Tired, tired, destroy."
"..." Zhu Zhaoyu was first surprised that the NPC seemed to have a memory of death, and then thought about it, in the fine weather with no wind and no rain, which living person is still holding an umbrella in the evening.
Qi Tianhe has long felt that the state of the mayor and his wife is not normal. They are different from other townspeople, and they have not tried to please the players. For example, Xiao Wu will carefully prepare three meals a day, but the mayor's family can't even drink saliva.
The mayor's wife approached with her husband on her arm, stared at Baichan closely, and said coldly, "Jiguo soup is ready."
Bai Chan's attitude seemed to ignore the terrifying couple at all, and he yawned: "Then go back."
However, without moving his legs, he just stood against the wall.
In the deadlocked atmosphere, the sky and the earth suddenly turned fiery red. This red color was unnatural, not the traditional fire cloud, and the temperature of the air also rose by one degree.
According to the normal backtracking point, it should be a warm orange-yellow sky at this moment. Obviously, during the second backtracking, the game adjusted certain elements.
The volume of the feathers continues to expand, merging into the sea of clouds like a swimming whale. When it reaches its extreme size, this beauty flashes by, one black and one red, and the two overlapped feathers ignite in mid-air, and the moment it is too late to blink , burning into ashes and falling from the air.
After watching this scene with cold eyes, Bai Chan said to the mayor and his wife, "It seems that today's dinner is unnecessary, and no one will receive the feather."
The mayor's expression seemed to have seen a ghost, and he kept repeating, "Here we come, here we go again..."
The two of them didn't have the domineering spirit they had when they first came to threaten others. Holding the big black umbrella, they staggered back and ran back. Qi Tianhe looked worried, and warned: "Be careful not to break your leg."
"What are you all doing around my door?" Xiao Wu suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen window and told Qi Tianhe to go in quickly.
As if afraid of something unexpected, as soon as he finished speaking, he went directly to the main hall and opened the door, and pulled the Qi Tianhe outside. As soon as he entered, Xiao Wu immediately closed the door hard and locked it behind him.
The players outside the house gradually dispersed, returning to their respective places.
Xiao Wu went to the backyard in a panic, and when he came back, he reinforced the yard and inserted many pieces of glass upside down on the wall.Qi Tianhe waited until he was almost finished before speaking: "What happened?"
Xiao Wu's eyes dodged a little: "The weather may not be very good recently, so make some preparations in advance."
The foreword and the afterword sounded illogical at all, and Qi Tianhe glanced in the direction of the backyard, thinking of something and asked: "There is also a cellar here?"
Xiao Wu hesitated and hummed: "Every household in the town has them. They were left before, but they were not demolished."
Back in the kitchen, Xiao Wu seized the time to bring over the fish that had been prepared earlier, and carefully put away the two vegetables that were to be fried. Hold on.
After dinner, Xiao Wu didn't rush upstairs like usual, but sat quietly in the living room, as if he was going to sleep on the sofa tonight.
Qi Tianhe stared at the back of his head for a while, and understood that the other party was stalking him because he was afraid that he would run away.
After midnight, the temperature still showed no sign of going down, and the bed was a little hot. In this environment, people wished that the ceiling was dug through, and it was impossible to close the windows and doors.
Qi Tianhe held the small shovel and fell asleep half asleep.Waking up in the middle of the night with a start, it was still dark outside, he kicked off the quilt beside him, turned around, never thought that there was a person standing outside the door, looking here motionless.
No matter how many times he saw it, seeing this scene at night was scary enough. Qi Tianhe let out a breath to soothe his heartbeat, and silently clenched the shovel with his fingers: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Wu stared at him for a while, then turned and went downstairs without saying anything.
Not sure if the other party will come up, Qi Tianhe originally wanted to let the corpse dog out to watch the night, and then thought that if it was called at a critical moment, a moment of shock might save lives, or it would be safer to keep it as a trump card for the time being.
I thought it was unlikely to fall asleep in the middle of the night after experiencing this episode, but I didn't expect that under the blessing of high temperature, my head would be groggy, and I would fall into a complete lethargy after a while.
When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly, and Qi Tianhe's skin next to the window sill was scorched red. He jumped up and checked the time, making sure that it was not yet nine o'clock.
The sun outside is completely comparable to that at noon.
Qi Tianhe was sweating all over his body. He intended to take a cold shower, but unexpectedly, even if the temperature was turned to the lowest, the water coming out of the shower was still hot.
Xiao Wu didn't seem to sleep all night, he sat on the sofa blankly, and didn't go out to buy breakfast as usual.Qi Tianhe wanted to go out and take a look around to understand the situation, so he asked, "I'm going to buy tofu."
Xiao Wu: "Nearby shops will not be open in the near future."
When Qi Tianhe asked about the abnormal temperature situation, Xiao Wu gave a perfunctory answer: "It happens for a while every year."
It took a period of time instead of a few days. Hearing this, Qi Tianhe had a bad premonition. It was unlikely that the temperature would return to normal before leaving the dungeon.
He was about to go out for a walk, and found that there were a few thick chains wrapped around the door, and solid wooden boards were nailed to the windows. The only thing he didn't care about was the back door, which led directly to the backyard, but the backyard wall was firmly reinforced.
Contrary to the scorching weather, Xiao Wu's tone was chilly: "You won't be fluttering your feathers these few days. People in the town are very restless. It's not safe for you to go out."
Qi Tianhe felt that it would be dangerous to stay, but he didn't say that.
In just one morning, some of the green vegetables planted in the backyard withered. It is said that there is not too much food shortage, after all, there are a lot of them in the cellar.However, a crimson feather appeared at the door of the cellar at some point, and the temperature of the entire cellar was only slightly lower than outside.
Some dishes would go bad if not eaten, so Xiao Wu began to eat like crazy. He was not stingy with sharing, and asked Qi Tianhe to follow suit every day, and the more he ate, the better.
Qi Tianhe felt that he was raising himself as a pig, until he heard the sound of knives being sharpened in the kitchen, thinking that he might really be raised as a reserve grain.
Xiao Wu has not done anything to threaten Qi Tianhe's personal safety for the time being. The weird temperature in the cellar is increasing day by day, and he can persist for two days. Apart from freedom, Qi Tianhe's living standard is not much different from before.
All TV stations were off the air, and the whole town was lifeless, not even a bird chirping could be heard.He lay in the room every day, thinking that even if the world ended, maybe there would not be such dead silence.
The excessive tranquility was broken at noon on a day when food was gradually in short supply. Xiao Wu provided less food to Qi Tianhe at the dinner table. Yizhen had a power outage this morning, and the dried meat and sausages in reserve were too hard to chew.
Qi Tianhe ate slowly, pretending not to see Xiao Wu swallowing, and occasionally staring at his throat.
There was a knock on the door.
Afraid that he was coming to grab food, Xiao Wu's hungry wolf-like eyes instantly became a little nervous. He picked up the sharpened kitchen knife and walked carefully to the door: "Who?"
The people outside did not speak, and the knocking on the door continued.
Xiao Wu hesitated whether to open the door, raised his voice and kept asking who it was.
The knock on the door became louder and louder, and it was about to develop into a knock on the door. Xiao Wu asked hysterically who it was, and then a leisurely voice came from outside the door: "It's me."
Sitting at the table, Qi Tianhe raised his eyebrows... Bai Chan?
Why does the opponent appear in the same way as the legendary door knocker?
Xiao Wu walked quickly to the window, growled through the crack of the door, and asked him what his purpose was.
Bai Chan's tone showed a bit of weakness: "I think something is wrong with the mayor, and I ran away in fear, can you take me in for a while?"
Qi Tianhe and Xiao Wu were silent at the same time, and after a while, Xiao Wu pulled out a few more boards, nailing even the gaps in the windows.
Qi Tianhe could somewhat guess what he was thinking. At this time, the townspeople are strictly guarding the player, but the possibility of bleeding the player may not be ruled out when there is no food left.The chance of escaping alone is very small, it might as well be that the mayor took the initiative to 'ask' him to leave.
One can imagine the degree of danger for a tourist who was asked to leave by the mayor.
"Open the door." Bai Chan waited impatiently.
The door was slammed with a bang, and Xiao Wu was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and warned loudly: "I have a knife in my hand!"
The people outside the door were probably tired of knocking, and gradually subsided, and then went to the next house to continue knocking on the door.
Xiao Wu took a few breaths, and prayed for Tianhe to move his chopsticks again quietly, thinking about it... This NPC's force value is average.
This is probably something that Bai Chan came to prove to himself, but the power of a grown man's hysteria should not be underestimated. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to have a violent conflict.
After eating, Qi Tianhe proposed to go to the backyard.
Xiao Wu didn't stop him, and followed behind with a knife.
Qi Tianhe came out with an umbrella. It was the first time in a few days that he went out to see the sun. The fiery red sky had not yet gone down. From the visual effect alone, it was very shocking.
Gradually, he found that something was wrong. The temperature of the sun seemed not so uniform, and the sun in the east was hotter. A few small trees seemed to be dying, but the saplings on this side were still able to persist.
Xiao Wu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and he muttered: "It's a good thing it's not me."
After speaking, he rushed to the door of the cellar, and was relieved to see that the feathers were still red.
Food is only a problem that needs to be worried about. At present, it does not pose a hidden danger to survival. The most frightening thing is the increasing temperature.No matter how long it has been left, the water will always be hot. Xiao Wu and Qi Tianhe gradually began to lose communication with each other, and their throats hurt when they spoke.
A long day like a year, this kind of day lasted for nearly a week, the game prompt sound finally came:
[Special Branch: Jiguo Soup.
Jiguo soup was originally a kind of fruit brought by Xinniao to rescue the victims. It was sweet and crisp. Later, it was stained red with blood, and the Jiguo turned into a bad fruit.
Optional task [-]: Survive successfully for half a month.
Optional task two: appease the resentment of the letter bird. (Completion of this task is conducive to customs clearance)]
Qi Tianhe personally prefers the second one. The first task is less difficult, but it is like a bottomless pit. Who knows what will happen in half a month.Even if it's hard to complete mission one, you still have to spend time collecting clues, and you can do it in one step.
letter bird...
Qi Tianhe thought it was time to go out and see what the Xinniao sculpture looked like now.
Seeing him put on his out shoes, Xiao Wu rushed over nervously with a knife in hand: "What are you going to do?"
Qi Tianhe told the truth: "Go and see the letter bird."
Xiao Wu looked at him like a madman.
"Make a deal..." Qi Tianhe leaned over and whispered.
Xiao Wu put down the knife he raised, and looked at him suspiciously: "Is there really such a place?"
"What are you doing lying to you?" Qi Tianhe's every little action contained psychological hints, and his attitude was very casual: "What's more, where can I go and leave the town?"
Xiao Wu mocked, if they could leave, they would have left long ago.
Qi Tianhe: "There's no food outside, and most people won't wander around the streets unless they're crazy hungry."
Words hinted that he would not be captured and kept in captivity by other townspeople as food.
Thinking over his words repeatedly, Xiao Wu nodded after struggling: "Okay, but it can't be too long, otherwise I will go to you in person."
It's just that it's hard to say what he will do in anger at that time.
Qi Tianhe vowed to make a promise, and Xiao Wu took the time to open the chain on the door, still a bit reluctant.
The streets are empty, and Yizhen looks like a dying town at the moment.Nobudori stood in a wide area with its head tilted, and the color of its feathers changed.Qi Tianhe approached and was about to reach out his hand, but a small flame burst out from nowhere, scorching him so much that he clenched his fist violently.
The temperature around Xinniao is very high, almost turning into a stove, the tails of its feathers are as red as agate, and what is reflected in its eyes is no longer the miniature buildings on the street, but the residents of the town.
Qi Tianhe was stunned, thinking that he had seen it wrong, he moved in front of Xinniao's head, bent down and looked into these eyes.
In the translucent eyes, there are many people standing, row after row, completely in the state of taking a group photo.Everyone stood expressionlessly with their hands hanging down on their sides, their expressions revealing a vague sense of horror. This picture was infinitely magnified before their eyes, and Qi Tianhe seemed to have entered their world unconsciously.
Behind him was no longer an empty street, but dense crowds of people were walking towards him step by step.
Qi Tianhe was quickly submerged in the crowd. These townspeople had very stiff bodies and couldn't even push them.He tried to squeeze out, but it was useless, and no matter where he went, he couldn't get rid of the terrifying townspeople.
Countless malicious eyes focused here, coldly witnessing him fighting against trapped beasts.
In order to save energy, Qi Tianhe gave up the idea of forcibly breaking the game, began to carefully observe the surrounding laws, and then patiently tested.Soon he discovered that the townspeople had built a maze with their bodies, and they could travel through it. However, once they reached a dead end and hit a wall, their lives would be in danger.
Maze cracking has a time limit, the longer the time, the smaller the gap distance for walking.
After several failures, Qi Tianhe gave up looking for a way and started looking for someone.The process went relatively smoothly. After a while, two of them were noticed by him, and Qi Tianhe squeezed past them, praying that they would still retain a bit of their sanity, and said in a hoarse voice: "The temperature in the town is soaring again..."
The dark eyes of a man and a woman changed slightly.
"You have a son named Xiao Wu, right... He will look at the family portrait hanging on the wall for a long time every morning." Qi Tianhe introduced himself: "I may be the one who hoarded 'food'. If I was trapped here, Xiao Wu The plan was ruined."
It has long been an open secret that the residents of the small town forcibly leave tourists behind when the temperature is abnormal, and there is nothing suspicious about this statement.
After a long time, the woman slowly raised her arm and pointed him in a direction.
Seeing that the gap in the passage was getting narrower and narrower, Qi Tianhe hurriedly rushed there, and the maze was about to be completely disintegrated. Some townspeople broke away from the neat formation, with several wisps of black smoke rising from their bodies, and some stretched out their hands to try to keep him behind.
Qi Tianhe barely took a breath, he took a breath and rushed towards the light at the fastest speed in his life.
……
Xinniao stood quietly on the ground, tilting his head and looking into the distance, as if everything was a dream.
The burning pain on his skin recalled Qi Tianhe, who was absent-minded. He looked around to make sure that there were no strange townspeople around.I realized later that there was a feather on the back of my hand, and the skin was red and swollen. I prayed for Tianhe to take it off, and there was a line of words floating on the feather: The crime of the wicked is still alive, and the innocent soul is suffering.
This seems to be the message left by the letter bird.
Qi Tianhe didn't have time to take another look, the feathers automatically burned into ashes.
"..." Is it the legendary one that burns after reading it?
As the sky gradually darkened, Qi Tianhe walked back. When he was hungry, he couldn't help worrying about Bai Chan. He was kicked out by the mayor and his wife. He wondered if he would sleep on the street.
·
Bai Chan didn't sleep on the street, he got fat.
There are many ghosts in the woods behind the town, and Bai Chan had a pleasant meal.Because it was too late to eat, he happened to miss it with Qi Tianhe.
From a distance, Baichan could see a person standing beside Xinniao, the shadow was slightly distorted when the sun cast it.
The bandaged man was not afraid of the high temperature at all, and directly covered Shindori's eyes with his bandaged hands, and said after a while, 'I see. '
As if sensing someone coming, he turned sideways, and the eyes of both sides met in mid-air.
Bai Chan walked over without squinting. He had a unique identification method. After walking around the letter bird, he knew that he was going to the mayor's house.
The two didn't intend to form a team, but they had the same destination. They went their separate ways on the way to the mayor's house, and neither of them spoke.When he was about to arrive, Baichan felt that he still had to help Qi Tianhe confirm his identity again, and was about to speak when the man in the bandage suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Looking along the past, there was a hole in the wall, and it seemed that something had entered.
Baichan thought reflexively, wouldn't the mayor and his wife die again?He's not interested in going back in time again.
The breach saves the trouble of overturning the wall. As soon as they entered the yard, the two sides went to the cellar at the same time. There was a strange dragging sound from the deep pit, followed by a rattling sound, and the lids of several tanks were lifted. Bai Chan slowed down her pace and borrowed the flame from her palm for illumination.
The ground has been cleaned, and there are still some drops of water that haven't had time to evaporate.
"White Cicada."
Qi Tianhe was standing right in front of him, a little surprised to see him: "What are you doing here?"
Bai Chan didn't expect to meet here, so she laughed and asked, "What do you think?"
Xindao is not all for clues.
While talking, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and when he turned around, the flame in his hand suddenly grew bigger.The first thing that came into view was a bamboo mat. Someone was sitting on it leaning against a jar, and tremblingly said, "Fire, fire..."
How can someone's palm be on fire?
Bai Chan walked over, like black and white impermanence who wanted his life: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Wu swallowed, pointed to Qi Tianhe and said, "He brought me to rub the air conditioner..."
Bai Chan slowly turned his head, and Qi Tianhe pointed to the swollen child who was smiling strangely in the jar, and explained: "The temperature is low where there are ghosts, and the house is so hot that I can't sleep, so I just want to come here and make a bed on the floor."
Bai Chan was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu again: "Are you willing to come with him?"
Is this NPC brain abnormal?
Xiao Wu said seriously: "It's cool, the temperature in the cellar is also normal."
Compared to starving to death or being burned to death by high temperature, the threat of ghosts seems not so great.
Bai Chan sneered: "You are so courageous, why are you still afraid of the fire in my hands?"
Xiao Wu whispered, "I'm afraid you will burn the ghost to ashes."
Then where can he find such a cool place.
Qi Tianhe didn't pay much attention to their conversation, and reminded the man in bandages who stood aside, who had no sense of presence, to be careful not to step on his bamboo mat, and then asked Baichan: "Are you also here to escape the summer heat?"
"..."
The author has something to say: No Responsibility Small Theater:
Bai Chan: Why didn't I think of such a good idea?Patronize as rations to eat!
And the culprit of everything is swearing that he just wants to give the child a home, how can this be washed?
Facing Liu Tianming's questioning, Bai Chan calmly said: "Not only has the NPC's wish come true, but he has also successfully obtained clues. Everything he does is more for the team."
"..."
Liu Tianming had nothing to say.
After feeling for a moment, Qi Tianhe's "kindhearted heart," the player's focus is still on the clues in Zhu Shuser's mouth.If the amount of information collected does not reach 50%, the special branch cannot be opened.

Zhu Zhaoyu: "What is it if it's not a god?"
Zhu Shuse looked at him coldly.
Zhu Zhaoyu smiled bitterly, scratching his head to express that he would think independently.
"Food." Qi Tianhe said coldly.
Zhu Zhaoyu was stunned for a moment: "No way? If Xinniao hadn't brought them food, many townspeople would have starved to death."
At this time, Bai Chan suddenly said in a nonchalant manner: "If it weren't for your sister, you would have died long ago."
Zhu Zhaoyu just doesn't like to think, which doesn't mean he has no brains. He saw a lot of dark things in the dungeon, and after thinking about it, he understood that even if Xinniao is really a mountain god, he would be treated as food if he was extremely hungry.

The master repaired the window and came out, politely asked Qi Tianhe to check it, Qi Tianhe repeatedly said no, the master said that if there is any problem, he can come to him at any time, and he will rework for free.
Looking at the back of the master wiping away his sweat, Qi Tianhe sighed: "No wonder the people in Yizhen are so friendly, everyone is afraid of leaving a bad impression in others' hearts."
"Some things can't be resolved through friendship," Zhu Zhaoyu said in a particularly gossipy tone: "The house where I live, the owner said that his neighbor next door once received a cuckold from a friend."

According to the normal backtracking point, it should be a warm orange-yellow sky at this moment. Obviously, during the second backtracking, the game adjusted certain elements.
The volume of the feathers continues to expand, merging into the sea of clouds like a swimming whale. When it reaches its extreme size, this beauty flashes by, one black and one red, and the two overlapped feathers ignite in mid-air, and the moment it is too late to blink , burning into ashes and falling from the air.
After watching this scene with cold eyes, Bai Chan said to the mayor and his wife, "It seems that today's dinner is unnecessary, and no one will receive the feather."

The two of them didn't have the domineering spirit they had when they first came to threaten others. Holding the big black umbrella, they staggered back and ran back. Qi Tianhe looked worried, and warned: "Be careful not to break your leg."
"What are you all doing around my door?" Xiao Wu suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen window and told Qi Tianhe to go in quickly.
As if afraid of something unexpected, as soon as he finished speaking, he went directly to the main hall and opened the door, and pulled the Qi Tianhe outside. As soon as he entered, Xiao Wu immediately closed the door hard and locked it behind him.
The players outside the house gradually dispersed, returning to their respective places.
Xiao Wu went to the backyard in a panic, and when he came back, he reinforced the yard and inserted many pieces of glass upside down on the wall.Qi Tianhe waited until he was almost finished before speaking: "What happened?"

The foreword and the afterword sounded illogical at all, and Qi Tianhe glanced in the direction of the backyard, thinking of something and asked: "There is also a cellar here?"
Xiao Wu hesitated and hummed: "Every household in the town has them. They were left before, but they were not demolished."
Back in the kitchen, Xiao Wu seized the time to bring over the fish that had been prepared earlier, and carefully put away the two vegetables that were to be fried. Hold on.
After dinner, Xiao Wu didn't rush upstairs like usual, but sat quietly in the living room, as if he was going to sleep on the sofa tonight.
Qi Tianhe stared at the back of his head for a while, and understood that the other party was stalking him because he was afraid that he would run away.
After midnight, the temperature still showed no sign of going down, and the bed was a little hot. In this environment, people wished that the ceiling was dug through, and it was impossible to close the windows and doors.
Qi Tianhe held the small shovel and fell asleep half asleep.Waking up in the middle of the night with a start, it was still dark outside, he kicked off the quilt beside him, turned around, never thought that there was a person standing outside the door, looking here motionless.
No matter how many times he saw it, seeing this scene at night was scary enough. Qi Tianhe let out a breath to soothe his heartbeat, and silently clenched the shovel with his fingers: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Wu stared at him for a while, then turned and went downstairs without saying anything.
Not sure if the other party will come up, Qi Tianhe originally wanted to let the corpse dog out to watch the night, and then thought that if it was called at a critical moment, a moment of shock might save lives, or it would be safer to keep it as a trump card for the time being.
I thought it was unlikely to fall asleep in the middle of the night after experiencing this episode, but I didn't expect that under the blessing of high temperature, my head would be groggy, and I would fall into a complete lethargy after a while.
When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly, and Qi Tianhe's skin next to the window sill was scorched red. He jumped up and checked the time, making sure that it was not yet nine o'clock.
The sun outside is completely comparable to that at noon.
Qi Tianhe was sweating all over his body. He intended to take a cold shower, but unexpectedly, even if the temperature was turned to the lowest, the water coming out of the shower was still hot.
Xiao Wu didn't seem to sleep all night, he sat on the sofa blankly, and didn't go out to buy breakfast as usual.Qi Tianhe wanted to go out and take a look around to understand the situation, so he asked, "I'm going to buy tofu."
Xiao Wu: "Nearby shops will not be open in the near future."
When Qi Tianhe asked about the abnormal temperature situation, Xiao Wu gave a perfunctory answer: "It happens for a while every year."
It took a period of time instead of a few days. Hearing this, Qi Tianhe had a bad premonition. It was unlikely that the temperature would return to normal before leaving the dungeon.
He was about to go out for a walk, and found that there were a few thick chains wrapped around the door, and solid wooden boards were nailed to the windows. The only thing he didn't care about was the back door, which led directly to the backyard, but the backyard wall was firmly reinforced.
Contrary to the scorching weather, Xiao Wu's tone was chilly: "You won't be fluttering your feathers these few days. People in the town are very restless. It's not safe for you to go out."
Qi Tianhe felt that it would be dangerous to stay, but he didn't say that.
In just one morning, some of the green vegetables planted in the backyard withered. It is said that there is not too much food shortage, after all, there are a lot of them in the cellar.However, a crimson feather appeared at the door of the cellar at some point, and the temperature of the entire cellar was only slightly lower than outside.
Some dishes would go bad if not eaten, so Xiao Wu began to eat like crazy. He was not stingy with sharing, and asked Qi Tianhe to follow suit every day, and the more he ate, the better.
Qi Tianhe felt that he was raising himself as a pig, until he heard the sound of knives being sharpened in the kitchen, thinking that he might really be raised as a reserve grain.
Xiao Wu has not done anything to threaten Qi Tianhe's personal safety for the time being. The weird temperature in the cellar is increasing day by day, and he can persist for two days. Apart from freedom, Qi Tianhe's living standard is not much different from before.
All TV stations were off the air, and the whole town was lifeless, not even a bird chirping could be heard.He lay in the room every day, thinking that even if the world ended, maybe there would not be such dead silence.
The excessive tranquility was broken at noon on a day when food was gradually in short supply. Xiao Wu provided less food to Qi Tianhe at the dinner table. Yizhen had a power outage this morning, and the dried meat and sausages in reserve were too hard to chew.
Qi Tianhe ate slowly, pretending not to see Xiao Wu swallowing, and occasionally staring at his throat.
There was a knock on the door.
Afraid that he was coming to grab food, Xiao Wu's hungry wolf-like eyes instantly became a little nervous. He picked up the sharpened kitchen knife and walked carefully to the door: "Who?"
The people outside did not speak, and the knocking on the door continued.
Xiao Wu hesitated whether to open the door, raised his voice and kept asking who it was.
The knock on the door became louder and louder, and it was about to develop into a knock on the door. Xiao Wu asked hysterically who it was, and then a leisurely voice came from outside the door: "It's me."
Sitting at the table, Qi Tianhe raised his eyebrows... Bai Chan?
Why does the opponent appear in the same way as the legendary door knocker?
Xiao Wu walked quickly to the window, growled through the crack of the door, and asked him what his purpose was.
Bai Chan's tone showed a bit of weakness: "I think something is wrong with the mayor, and I ran away in fear, can you take me in for a while?"
Qi Tianhe and Xiao Wu were silent at the same time, and after a while, Xiao Wu pulled out a few more boards, nailing even the gaps in the windows.
Qi Tianhe could somewhat guess what he was thinking. At this time, the townspeople are strictly guarding the player, but the possibility of bleeding the player may not be ruled out when there is no food left.The chance of escaping alone is very small, it might as well be that the mayor took the initiative to 'ask' him to leave.
One can imagine the degree of danger for a tourist who was asked to leave by the mayor.
"Open the door." Bai Chan waited impatiently.
The door was slammed with a bang, and Xiao Wu was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and warned loudly: "I have a knife in my hand!"
The people outside the door were probably tired of knocking, and gradually subsided, and then went to the next house to continue knocking on the door.
Xiao Wu took a few breaths, and prayed for Tianhe to move his chopsticks again quietly, thinking about it... This NPC's force value is average.
This is probably something that Bai Chan came to prove to himself, but the power of a grown man's hysteria should not be underestimated. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to have a violent conflict.
After eating, Qi Tianhe proposed to go to the backyard.
Xiao Wu didn't stop him, and followed behind with a knife.
Qi Tianhe came out with an umbrella. It was the first time in a few days that he went out to see the sun. The fiery red sky had not yet gone down. From the visual effect alone, it was very shocking.
Gradually, he found that something was wrong. The temperature of the sun seemed not so uniform, and the sun in the east was hotter. A few small trees seemed to be dying, but the saplings on this side were still able to persist.
Xiao Wu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and he muttered: "It's a good thing it's not me."
After speaking, he rushed to the door of the cellar, and was relieved to see that the feathers were still red.
Food is only a problem that needs to be worried about. At present, it does not pose a hidden danger to survival. The most frightening thing is the increasing temperature.No matter how long it has been left, the water will always be hot. Xiao Wu and Qi Tianhe gradually began to lose communication with each other, and their throats hurt when they spoke.
A long day like a year, this kind of day lasted for nearly a week, the game prompt sound finally came:
[Special Branch: Jiguo Soup.
Jiguo soup was originally a kind of fruit brought by Xinniao to rescue the victims. It was sweet and crisp. Later, it was stained red with blood, and the Jiguo turned into a bad fruit.
Optional task [-]: Survive successfully for half a month.
Optional task two: appease the resentment of the letter bird. (Completion of this task is conducive to customs clearance)]
Qi Tianhe personally prefers the second one. The first task is less difficult, but it is like a bottomless pit. Who knows what will happen in half a month.Even if it's hard to complete mission one, you still have to spend time collecting clues, and you can do it in one step.
letter bird...
Qi Tianhe thought it was time to go out and see what the Xinniao sculpture looked like now.
Seeing him put on his out shoes, Xiao Wu rushed over nervously with a knife in hand: "What are you going to do?"
Qi Tianhe told the truth: "Go and see the letter bird."
Xiao Wu looked at him like a madman.
"Make a deal..." Qi Tianhe leaned over and whispered.
Xiao Wu put down the knife he raised, and looked at him suspiciously: "Is there really such a place?"
"What are you doing lying to you?" Qi Tianhe's every little action contained psychological hints, and his attitude was very casual: "What's more, where can I go and leave the town?"
Xiao Wu mocked, if they could leave, they would have left long ago.
Qi Tianhe: "There's no food outside, and most people won't wander around the streets unless they're crazy hungry."
Words hinted that he would not be captured and kept in captivity by other townspeople as food.
Thinking over his words repeatedly, Xiao Wu nodded after struggling: "Okay, but it can't be too long, otherwise I will go to you in person."
It's just that it's hard to say what he will do in anger at that time.
Qi Tianhe vowed to make a promise, and Xiao Wu took the time to open the chain on the door, still a bit reluctant.
The streets are empty, and Yizhen looks like a dying town at the moment.Nobudori stood in a wide area with its head tilted, and the color of its feathers changed.Qi Tianhe approached and was about to reach out his hand, but a small flame burst out from nowhere, scorching him so much that he clenched his fist violently.
The temperature around Xinniao is very high, almost turning into a stove, the tails of its feathers are as red as agate, and what is reflected in its eyes is no longer the miniature buildings on the street, but the residents of the town.
Qi Tianhe was stunned, thinking that he had seen it wrong, he moved in front of Xinniao's head, bent down and looked into these eyes.
In the translucent eyes, there are many people standing, row after row, completely in the state of taking a group photo.Everyone stood expressionlessly with their hands hanging down on their sides, their expressions revealing a vague sense of horror. This picture was infinitely magnified before their eyes, and Qi Tianhe seemed to have entered their world unconsciously.
Behind him was no longer an empty street, but dense crowds of people were walking towards him step by step.
Qi Tianhe was quickly submerged in the crowd. These townspeople had very stiff bodies and couldn't even push them.He tried to squeeze out, but it was useless, and no matter where he went, he couldn't get rid of the terrifying townspeople.
Countless malicious eyes focused here, coldly witnessing him fighting against trapped beasts.
In order to save energy, Qi Tianhe gave up the idea of forcibly breaking the game, began to carefully observe the surrounding laws, and then patiently tested.Soon he discovered that the townspeople had built a maze with their bodies, and they could travel through it. However, once they reached a dead end and hit a wall, their lives would be in danger.
Maze cracking has a time limit, the longer the time, the smaller the gap distance for walking.
After several failures, Qi Tianhe gave up looking for a way and started looking for someone.The process went relatively smoothly. After a while, two of them were noticed by him, and Qi Tianhe squeezed past them, praying that they would still retain a bit of their sanity, and said in a hoarse voice: "The temperature in the town is soaring again..."
The dark eyes of a man and a woman changed slightly.
"You have a son named Xiao Wu, right... He will look at the family portrait hanging on the wall for a long time every morning." Qi Tianhe introduced himself: "I may be the one who hoarded 'food'. If I was trapped here, Xiao Wu The plan was ruined."
It has long been an open secret that the residents of the small town forcibly leave tourists behind when the temperature is abnormal, and there is nothing suspicious about this statement.
After a long time, the woman slowly raised her arm and pointed him in a direction.
Seeing that the gap in the passage was getting narrower and narrower, Qi Tianhe hurriedly rushed there, and the maze was about to be completely disintegrated. Some townspeople broke away from the neat formation, with several wisps of black smoke rising from their bodies, and some stretched out their hands to try to keep him behind.
Qi Tianhe barely took a breath, he took a breath and rushed towards the light at the fastest speed in his life.
……
Xinniao stood quietly on the ground, tilting his head and looking into the distance, as if everything was a dream.
The burning pain on his skin recalled Qi Tianhe, who was absent-minded. He looked around to make sure that there were no strange townspeople around.I realized later that there was a feather on the back of my hand, and the skin was red and swollen. I prayed for Tianhe to take it off, and there was a line of words floating on the feather: The crime of the wicked is still alive, and the innocent soul is suffering.
This seems to be the message left by the letter bird.
Qi Tianhe didn't have time to take another look, the feathers automatically burned into ashes.
"..." Is it the legendary one that burns after reading it?
As the sky gradually darkened, Qi Tianhe walked back. When he was hungry, he couldn't help worrying about Bai Chan. He was kicked out by the mayor and his wife. He wondered if he would sleep on the street.
·
Bai Chan didn't sleep on the street, he got fat.
There are many ghosts in the woods behind the town, and Bai Chan had a pleasant meal.Because it was too late to eat, he happened to miss it with Qi Tianhe.
From a distance, Baichan could see a person standing beside Xinniao, the shadow was slightly distorted when the sun cast it.
The bandaged man was not afraid of the high temperature at all, and directly covered Shindori's eyes with his bandaged hands, and said after a while, 'I see. '
As if sensing someone coming, he turned sideways, and the eyes of both sides met in mid-air.
Bai Chan walked over without squinting. He had a unique identification method. After walking around the letter bird, he knew that he was going to the mayor's house.
The two didn't intend to form a team, but they had the same destination. They went their separate ways on the way to the mayor's house, and neither of them spoke.When he was about to arrive, Baichan felt that he still had to help Qi Tianhe confirm his identity again, and was about to speak when the man in the bandage suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Looking along the past, there was a hole in the wall, and it seemed that something had entered.
Baichan thought reflexively, wouldn't the mayor and his wife die again?He's not interested in going back in time again.
The breach saves the trouble of overturning the wall. As soon as they entered the yard, the two sides went to the cellar at the same time. There was a strange dragging sound from the deep pit, followed by a rattling sound, and the lids of several tanks were lifted. Bai Chan slowed down her pace and borrowed the flame from her palm for illumination.
The ground has been cleaned, and there are still some drops of water that haven't had time to evaporate.
"White Cicada."
Qi Tianhe was standing right in front of him, a little surprised to see him: "What are you doing here?"
Bai Chan didn't expect to meet here, so she laughed and asked, "What do you think?"
Xindao is not all for clues.
While talking, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and when he turned around, the flame in his hand suddenly grew bigger.The first thing that came into view was a bamboo mat. Someone was sitting on it leaning against a jar, and tremblingly said, "Fire, fire..."
How can someone's palm be on fire?
Bai Chan walked over, like black and white impermanence who wanted his life: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Wu swallowed, pointed to Qi Tianhe and said, "He brought me to rub the air conditioner..."
Bai Chan slowly turned his head, and Qi Tianhe pointed to the swollen child who was smiling strangely in the jar, and explained: "The temperature is low where there are ghosts, and the house is so hot that I can't sleep, so I just want to come here and make a bed on the floor."
Bai Chan was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu again: "Are you willing to come with him?"
Is this NPC brain abnormal?
Xiao Wu said seriously: "It's cool, the temperature in the cellar is also normal."
Compared to starving to death or being burned to death by high temperature, the threat of ghosts seems not so great.
Bai Chan sneered: "You are so courageous, why are you still afraid of the fire in my hands?"
Xiao Wu whispered, "I'm afraid you will burn the ghost to ashes."
Then where can he find such a cool place.
Qi Tianhe didn't pay much attention to their conversation, and reminded the man in bandages who stood aside, who had no sense of presence, to be careful not to step on his bamboo mat, and then asked Baichan: "Are you also here to escape the summer heat?"
"..."
The author has something to say: No Responsibility Small Theater:
Bai Chan: Why didn't I think of such a good idea?Patronize as rations to eat!
