This NPC really has a problem

The old man stopped suddenly.

While Bai Zhu and Lu Ren were nervous about his next move, the old man's next move was beyond their expectation, but it seemed to be expected.

The old man rushed to the huge black clock behind him, shook the bell and struck it.Listening to the bells under the bell tower, you can only feel the melodious bells, but when you are so close to the giant clock, you can only feel the bells are deafening.

Even though Lu Ren subconsciously covered his ears with his hands when the bell rang, he still felt pain in his ears.His hands were still covered with hands, and it turned out that Bai Zhu also covered his ears.

Bai Zhu should have said something when he saw Lu Ren's lips moving, but he didn't hear anything. Although he didn't feel any pain, the system judged that he had temporarily lost his hearing.

The bell ringer came to the top of the bell tower to ring the bell.

The movement of his knocking seemed to be faster than usual. Lu Ren didn't know if it was his own illusion. It seemed that the duration of the bell was shorter than usual.The bell ringer panted slightly when he let go of the bell and pestle. He saw Lu Ren and Bai Zhu still standing there, frowning with the same white brows.

He strode forward, but he didn't make the aggressive moves before. He pushed the two of them, pushing Lu Ren and Bai Zhu towards the stairs.

Even though he couldn't speak, Lu Ren knew that he meant to tell them to go quickly.

A sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart, Lu Ren made a decisive decision not to stay any longer, and ran down the stairs with Bai Zhu.The bell ringer did not leave with them, but ran with them for a short distance.He kept gesturing to tell Lu Ren something, but neither Lu Ren nor Bai Zhu knew anything about sign language.

The old man stopped at last.

When Lu Ren looked back, he stood blankly on the stairs, the only light in the bell tower pouring down from the corridor above his head.He looked devastated, with pain in his eyes.

Going downstairs is much easier than going upstairs.

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu got out of the bell tower in a short while. They didn't stop after leaving the bell tower, and they slowed down after running a little farther.Lu Ren had been paying attention to the movement of the clock tower, and saw an old man hurried into the clock tower shortly after they left.The decorations on his sacrificial robe were far more gorgeous and complex than those of other priests. Although Lu Ren only saw half of his profile, he still recognized who it was.

Bishop Lanna.

His eyes were on Bishop Lanna's face, and Lu Ren didn't disturb him at all.

Bai Zhu noticed the change in Lu Ren's eyes.

"That person is..."

"Bishop Lanna of the main church." Lu Ren said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, even though Bishop Lanna had already entered the bell tower.

Bai Zhu didn't speak any more.As soon as they left, Bishop Lanna came back. The bell ringer urged them to leave earlier, obviously because he didn't want them to confront Bishop Lanna.

Tomorrow they will go to see Bishop Lanna, I am afraid it will not go well.

……

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu walked much faster when they went back than when they came.

It was not until they were far away from the cathedral and about to return to the slums that they spoke aloud about the bell ringer.

Bai Zhu was very puzzled: "Why did the bell ringer react so strongly?"

And his reaction was obviously aimed at Lu Ren, which made Bai Zhu very puzzled. According to common sense, NPCs should react abnormally to players.

Lu Ren didn't quite understand it at first, but he almost guessed the answer after walking all the way: "He should know my face."

Bai Zhu thought for a while before he understood: "The one from the last dungeon?"

Lu Ren nodded.It's just that he didn't know if it was because he didn't get the complete NPC memory in the last instance or for some other reason. He didn't know what anxiety Father Lu Ren and the bell ringer had at all.

But it is also possible that the bell ringer knew Father Lu Ren unilaterally... They always met some priests when they were in the main church. And stop the appearance.Lu Ren originally thought it was because of him and Bai Zhu walking blindly, but now he thinks it's because of his face.

There may be some priests who have never met Father Lu Ren, but the fact that Father Lu Ren defected to the City of Reflections is probably known to everyone in the Holy See.

Lu Ren thought that the owner of one of the keys in their hands was Father Lu Ren, and it was very likely that they would meet again in the last dungeon, so he couldn't help but feel a little delicate.

After all, it is a very rare experience to think about face to face with a person who looks exactly like yourself.

When Zeng Ge said that he wanted to use him as a prototype to create an NPC in the game, Lu Ren agreed without thinking too much, but he really didn't expect that Zeng Ge would set a "Lu Ren" in every instance.

Bai Zhu also told Lu Ren about the key at this time.

Lu Ren asked him, "Is it just a fever?"

"I just felt hot," Bai Zhu said. "The state of the bell ringer at that time made me afraid to take out the key in front of him, so I don't know any changes on its surface."

Bai Zhu took out the keys from his pocket and showed them to Lu Ren, but the six keys looked exactly the same, and he didn't know which key had changed at that moment.

At this time, the key has returned to its original state, and even the residual temperature can't be found, as if the original fever was just an illusion of whiteness.

Bai Zhu looked a little regretful, but Lu Ren was optimistic: "Anyway, I know one thing. The lock doesn't know that the key is near you."

The posture of the bell ringer at that time seemed to want to do something to Lu Ren - knowing that he had the face of a traitor to the Holy See, the reaction of the bell ringer was reasonable.That person Bai Zhu stood in front of him, and for a moment Bai Zhu was very close to the bell ringer, but the bell ringer never paid attention to Bai Zhu from the beginning to the end.

Apparently the key responds to the lock, but the lock does not respond to the key.

But what if the lock sees the key?

The answer can only be known after practice. Bishop Lanna, the city lord and the girl, who are still suspects, are not suitable for practice. They had better find the bell ringer again.

Because of them, the bell ringer probably didn't ring the huge bell on time, which attracted Bishop Lanna.Bishop Lanna already had doubts in his heart, and he didn't know if the bell ringer could find a reasonable reason to dispel his doubts when he came to the bell tower.

Otherwise, it might not be easy for them to have a good talk with the bell ringer.

Lu Ren regretted that he couldn't understand sign language, and it was a pity that he didn't make an appointment with the bell ringer where to meet, so that if they wanted to see the bell ringer, they could only go to the bell tower when the bell was about to ring.Lu Ren had no idea where the bell ringer usually stayed, so going to the bell tower to find him was the best choice at present.

Apart from thinking about when to meet the bell ringer, a question kept growing in Lu Ren's mind.

"...Who is the sixth lock?" Lu Ren murmured.

Before he knew it, he had locked most of the candidates for the lock.

It is basically certain that the bell ringer is one of the locks. Father Lu Ren, who is currently unknown, does not seem to have any doubts. The bishop, the castellan and the girl are all highly suspected objects of suspicion. There are already five people here.

So who will be the last person?

……

After reincarnation began, most of the gates of the City of Reflections were left unguarded.

No one would think of leaving here, their souls could no longer produce such thoughts.During the frozen time, both the soul and the body will remain forever in this hell disguised as heaven.

The girl sits on the edge of the city wall and raises her hand towards the distant sky, as if she wants to catch the fading glow.

She suddenly heard a voice from below.

"Can you open the city gate for me?"

The girl looked down, only to see a priest in solemn sacrificial robes, with disheveled black hair smiling at her.
