This NPC really has a problem

Bai Yi carried Lu Ren back to the church all the way.

Lu Ren looked around and saw that the church was still empty and unpopular, so he asked, "Where are the others?"

"There's nothing to do in the game, so log out first." Bai Zhu said, "As soon as you log out of the game, give Zeng Ge some advice. A dungeon takes so long and there is no entertainment in the dungeon. It's outrageous."

Lu Ren thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'll mention it to him when the time comes. It's okay to bring things like homework into the dungeon. Students account for the largest proportion of the players, and they can do their homework when they don't go through the plot. .”

Bai Zhu almost staggered, what kind of devil's suggestion was this.

Carrying someone upstairs was too much effort, so Lu Ren took the initiative to get off Bai Zhu's back and asked Bai Zhu to help him walk.They walked slowly, and Bai Zhu asked casually, "Do you like good students?"

Bai Zhuxin said, he probably never had anything to do with the word "good student" since he was a child, unless his grades were better.

Lu Ren only replied, "Good students are more at ease."

Bai Zhu was thinking about it, and then Lu Ren rubbed his head: "I don't mind if you are a bad student."

Bai Zhu didn't have time to be happy, only to hear Lu Ren continue to say: "Anyway, I'm not the one to teach."

After teasing Bai Zhu, they happened to walk to the second floor.

Bai Zhu looked at the closed doors, and asked slowly, "Which ones are..."

"It was the person who died in this church." Lu Ren replied.

Lu Ren turned his head to look at the god statue whose presence was too strong to be ignored: "Your room is on the same level as the key in the hands of the god statue, which means you are the one who still has choices. Most of the rooms under the key have a dead bodies, they have chosen, but for those who killed them, they have chosen wrongly."

Bai Zhu didn't quite understand: "What to choose?"

"Choose your faith." Lu Ren said, "Among the dead are believers of good gods, clergymen who turned to evil gods, and unbelievers who strayed into this place."

Bai Zhu said: "They are all dead."

Before the player came in, the only living thing in the church was Lu Ren.

"Yes," Lu Ren nodded, "he doesn't believe in their beliefs."

"Death here does not mean the end." Lu Ren continued, "After eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a trial here. If there are no new victims, those who died will be punished."

The soul is trapped in the corpse and repeatedly endures the torture of life.

Bai Zhudao: "The new victim... refers to the player?"

"It's like this in this dungeon," Lu Ren said. "In the background, the new victim is a curious person."

"The village next to the church has been deserted, and there is no longer any place to stay nearby. Travelers passing by can only stay here. If they don't open the door to see the judgment at night, they can leave here. If they see the judgment, They have a choice to face."

Lu Ren said: "Choose whether to believe in evil gods or not."

Bai Zhu remembered what Lu Ren said just now: "The priests don't believe in their faith."

"So they are doomed to die the moment they see the trial." Lu Ren said again, "But it may not be safe if they don't see the trial. The priest will give those who leave a small statue, just like the third copy. Sagittarius, you have also seen the consequences caused by the idol."

Bai Yiyi was speechless for a moment when the BOSS did these detrimental and unfavorable things.

"In the game, the key can determine a person's good and evil." Lu Ren saw what Bai Zhu was thinking, and said to him, "The priest locked the kindness in his heart with the key, and then threw the key in the place where he was born." In the dry well of this personality, let the dry well become a grave for burying good thoughts. But what he didn't expect was that his other personality was independent from him. He locked up the kindness of his personality, but the good thoughts in the heart of the other personality remained. exist."

"That personality used to be the dominant personality, but because of the strength of the sub-personality, it became weaker and weaker, and finally spent most of the time in a deep sleep."

"The main character left some marks on the way of the struggle, as a warning to passers-by, and in the dungeon, it is also a clue to the player."

"I saw the word Curiosity engraved on the wall in the dungeon, and this is probably the clue," Bai Zhu said, "I just don't know what the follow-up clue is."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, the key has already been obtained." Lu Ren said this, but did not give the key to Bai Zhu directly, "Let's rest here for a while, there is one more copy and it will be over."

Bai Zhu looked down at his dragging left foot and asked, "Does your foot hurt?"

"There are some," Lu Ren looked up, "There should be medicine on the fourth floor."

"I'll get it for you?" Bai Zhu asked, they had already reached the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor.

Lu Ren shook his head, and pulled Bai Zhu to sit down on the steps: "There are a lot of small statues on it, I don't feel very good, so I'd better not go up."

Bai Zhu sat upright, and Lu Renti didn't have much strength, so he leaned on his shoulder and looked at the nearby statues.

Bai Zhu asked him, "Are you tired?"

"Not at all." Lu Ren shook his head lightly, "It's just... I suddenly remembered something I said to Zeng Ge before."

... Zeng Ge again.

Really lingering.

Bai Zhu ground his teeth indiscriminately.

He also turned his head away, as if he was also carefully observing the statue: "Is it very important?"

"Not really, it's some ideas about the game." Lu Ren said, as if he was completely lost in memory, half of Bai Zhu's shoulder went numb, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

"See you in the next dungeon." Lu Ren said to Bai Zhudao, putting the key into his hand, "I'll wait for you in the City of Reflections."

Bai Zhu still hadn't reacted a little: "Is this considered to be a customs clearance?"

To be honest, he really didn't do anything in this dungeon.They didn't seem to leave at all, Lu Ren avoided all the detours and went directly to get the key.

Lu Ren nodded: "After leaving the church, go straight outside until you get to the border. This dungeon is safe outside the church during the day."

Bai Zhu held the key, and a familiar system prompt appeared in front of him.

Lu Ren sat on the steps and watched Bai Zhu leave. When Bai Zhu turned his head several times, he smiled at him comfortingly.

When he stepped on the ground floor of the first floor, Bai Zhu couldn't help but look up again, only to see that Lu Ren's gaze was no longer on him, and he turned his head again, looking at the statue quietly.

It was too far away to see his face clearly, but Bai Zhu could still imagine his thoughtful expression.

He recalled while thinking, as if completely immersed in his own world.

……

The framework and core of "The Key" were all proposed by Zeng Ge.

This is an imperfect work, but it is also an epoch-making work.It's a game, but hardly a member of the production team treats it simply as a game.

Lu Ren remembered Zeng Ge's confused words when the project was about to be completed.

"I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing to do."
