Chapter 640: NPCs that will not be [Refreshed]

"What's your roommate's name?"

The next moment, Qin Shang took a deep breath, and the other party continued mopping the floor as if he didn't hear anything.

Qin Shang didn't waste any words and directly summoned the 'Spirit of the Ghost Baby'. The little ghost baby fell to the ground with a 'Abba' sound.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shang issued an order to [bewitch] the other party.

Use [Bewitch] to make your exploration go smoothly.

In fact, Qin Shang was not sure whether his guess was correct.

For example, this old woman was actually the murderer who killed her roommate, because her entry bar for the single-player side quest was not moving, which might be related to the fact that this old woman had little relevance to the quest objective of the single-player side quest...

But no matter how Qin Shang looked at it, he didn't think that a person living in the 70s could live without food or drink until the 90s unless he encountered some kind of supernatural power.

At present, Qin Shang has two guesses about the old woman's identity.

One possibility is that the other person is the child originally taken in by the monastery's old abbess Juliana.

Another possibility is that the other party came from the reactionaries who invaded and occupied the monastery.

If it is the former, then her reason for killing her roommate is somewhat intriguing.

If it was the latter, Qin Shang would find it hard to understand why she killed her roommate.

However, it is very likely that after killing his roommate, he experienced some kind of hypnosis and fell into the same illusion as himself, so he saw the scene of accompanying his roommate into the bathroom, and then an aunt asked him to help her mop the floor. People who are trapped in an illusion may find it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, and it is even very likely that they regard dreams as reality.

The old woman's body shook the moment the little ghost baby crawled over.

Seeing this, Qin Shang knew that his operation was successful.

They can be easily controlled by the ghost baby, it seems that they are just ordinary people.

"My roommate is called Sakurai Kaori..."

"Devil?"

Qin Shang was shocked.

You don't even need to guess the name, you know it's a little Japanese as soon as you hear it.

The next moment, after a slight hesitation, he asked again.

"Then do you know when Abbess Juliana died? And what is that long-necked ghost in the monastery? Do you know how long you have been here?"

Hearing this, the old woman was stunned, as if she was lost in thought.

Then he suddenly shouted loudly. This was the first time Qin Shang encountered such a situation after using the ghost baby to launch [Bewitching]. Logically speaking, when a person is successfully [Bewitched], only the most primitive and basic subconscious mind will be left. That's why Qin Shang said at the beginning that [Bewitching] is definitely the most powerful skill in interrogation.

As a result, at this moment, seeing the old woman's appearance was obviously beyond Qin Shang's expectations.

"what happened to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman threw the mop stick in her hand, and the stiff corpse flew out and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Qin Shang's eyelids twitched, and he immediately took two steps forward, shining the flashlight on the dried corpse, and saw a tag.

Hou Nina.

This is a Chinese name.

Sure enough, after these Sakurajima people took over the monastery, they used the identities of the original residents of the monastery!

"Did you kill her because you were forced to live with those reactionaries and Sakurajima's spies? Did you kill her because you discovered something? You are Chinese, right? You should not be in the same group with those reactionaries, right?"

He asked the old woman in a more hurried tone.

But the old woman had no intention of answering him at all.

He just squatted on the ground, holding his head and screaming.

Qin Shang couldn't help but frown, his mind full of question marks.

This shouldn't be the case. The side effect of [Bewitch] is that the other party will hate you more, but the prerequisite is to wait until the five minutes of [Bewitch] are over, and this side effect is not borne by the other party. What is going on with her now?

Just as I was about to take two steps forward, I heard the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the corridor.

"Very good, you passed both parts of the interview. The first part was to determine whether you have too many psychological traumas. It was to test your psychological quality and to determine whether you are likely to violate regulations when extremely frightened. The second part was to determine whether you can distinguish between humans and those ghosts. It seems that you have done well in both parts."

A disembodied female voice came from the end of the corridor.

Qin Shang was stunned.

Is this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the hallway?

So many NPCs are hidden?

The sound arrives before the person does.

At this time, Shen Xiuxiu's reaction was the most intense, as if she had seen something that frightened her to the core. She suddenly stomped her jade feet, gave Qin Shang a worried look, and suddenly hid in the blood pipa, without even saying a word to Qin Shang.

The little ghost baby's actions were exactly the same, and both of them disappeared in an instant...

Seeing this scene, Qin Shang was shocked.

What is going on here?

This was the first time that I summoned a monster myself, and I was scared like this by something in the copy.

Could it be that they saw the Mother Goddess?

What on earth could have scared Shen Xiuxiu and the little ghost baby like this?

"Do you want to know what that woman went through? It's simple. After the reactionaries and spies invaded the monastery, the woman was forced to live with those spies because she was a student who entered the monastery during the enrollment the day after the incident."

"So in order to operate normally, the monastery pushed out old Abbot Juliana the next day to serve as the label and totem to take in these refugees from other places and displaced and homeless children."

"But unfortunately, she discovered the monastery's secret not long after entering it. She must have wanted to escape that night, but she happened to run into Sakurai Kaori who got up to go to the bathroom at night. In order to protect herself, she killed Sakurai Kaori, but Sakurai Kaori was a reactionary and a spy. She knew there were some weapons in this corridor, and she released those weapons before she died."

Qin Shang guessed from the beginning that if those spies and reactionaries got hold of the back building of the monastery, they would definitely renovate it.

Hearing this, he showed a look of relief.

As expected, these reactionaries and spies did renovate the back building of the monastery.

So this old woman became like this because she was controlled by some special type of weapon?

No, it shouldn't be the weapon that controls her.

Instead, she was hypnotized by the weapon and lost some of her self-awareness, so she began to have trouble distinguishing between reality and dreams.

He now understood one thing. If a person has split personality, then [Bewitch] will be ineffective.

Because the same thing has two different experiences and different interpretations in his mind.

Maybe for people with split personality, it is easy to connect dreams and reality together.

They cannot distinguish between reality and dreams, and naturally cannot tell whether certain things are as they remember in their minds or as they imagine. This is the reason why their [Bewitching] suddenly fails.

It seems that in the old woman's mind, she had two sets of procedures and explanations for doing this, which were completely contrary to reality.

"So she was the nun who was supposed to enter the convent in 73. However, the day before she entered, you invaders occupied the convent. So when she entered, she didn't see any real nuns. Everything was fake. She soon discovered that something was wrong with her roommate, so she wanted to escape from here one night and tip off the outside world."

"As a result, at this time, her roommate Kaori Sakurai happened to go to the bathroom at night and saw this scene. In order to protect herself, she had no choice but to kill Kaori Sakurai. However, at the critical moment when her life was hanging by a thread, Kaori Sakurai, as a companion of you reactionaries and spies, found the infrasonic weapon you left in the corridor and activated it..."

"So she fell into a state of confusion. The illusions that kept coming one after another made her lose her ability to judge reality. What she feared most at the time was that someone would find out that she was trying to escape from the monastery. So she naturally made up a reason for herself to appear in the corridor in the middle of the night, that is, she accompanied her roommate to the bathroom, but her roommate didn't come out, so she was just waiting for her."

"After that, she probably realized that this excuse was a bit far-fetched, so she found another reason. She was just mopping the floor here, helping others mop the floor. She was waiting for her roommate, and she had to keep mopping the floor here until she came out. Deep down, she was most afraid of being discovered if she ran away, so she kept making up new lies to satisfy this excuse."

"For example, her confusion, her ignorance, she was just accompanying her roommate to the toilet, and there was just an auntie asking her to help mop the floor. If she couldn't see her roommate, she couldn't leave. One new lie after another made her psychological suggestion deepen. She began to be unable to distinguish between the excuses she made and the truth. She completely turned into a madman. She ignored some of the truths she knew and pretended to be crazy in order to survive..."

These are the rules she sets for herself.

It was also the only rule she told herself that would allow her to survive if something like this happened.

Under the idea of ​​constantly protecting herself, through psychological suggestion and the influence of some special weapons in the corridor, the [illusion] allowed her to form a second personality.

That personality firmly believes in these rules.

First, I was forced to mop the floor here.

Second, I don’t know what I’m using to mop the floor.

Third, I have absolutely no intention of escaping from the monastery. I am controlled by a supernatural power and can only mop the floor here all the time. I know nothing about anything.

Fourth, if she couldn’t find the aunt and wait for her roommate, she wouldn’t be able to leave the corridor.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang looked at the old woman with a little more pity in his eyes. Seeing her squatting in the corner of the corridor, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

In the early days, the reactionaries saw that she had no reason to kill her because of this!

After all, they had just moved into the monastery and had finally arranged corresponding identities for everyone, but the next day a new group of girls arrived at the monastery. If they killed these people, they would not be able to fill their identities.

No one knew when the Dragon Government would send people to check and conduct a census of the residents in the monastery.

Suppose the Dragon government is going to arrange a census in a week, and it turns out that a dozen girls have just moved into the monastery today. However, a week later, all these people have died or have no news. This will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Dragon government.

This is why the reactionaries kept her since the 1970s. As for why the woman was so skinny, this is easy to explain.

Who is a good person who is normal during the day and gets sick at night, and can still maintain a positive growth in body? Staying up late is harmful to the body, and the easiest way to lose weight is to stay up late. Maybe during the day her spirit can return to normal for a period of time, and she can eat and drink like ordinary people. This is the reason why she has not starved to death in these years...

Then, Qin Shang looked up at the end of the corridor.

He could almost guess the identity of the visitor.

"Are you the abbot of the monastery now?"

It seems that the person who knew all this information and left the crazy old woman alone as a test in the middle of the night was no one else except the abbot.

"What an impolite brat! According to your role in the dungeon, you should call me Dean. After all, you are now a security guard of the monastery, and I am the Dean here..."

When these words were spoken, Qin Shang was stunned, and then his face changed drastically.

What the hell?

What the hell is this abbot talking about?

What do you mean you should call me Dean according to your identity as a copy?

How did she know about the copy?

Regardless of her identity in the monastery, from the perspective of the Divine Path, she should be just an NPC in the dungeon. She should be a person living in Jiangcheng in the 90s. She should belong to this background...

So, how did she know about the copy? Did she know that I was a Divine Road player?

Qin Shang was shocked, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The woman who slowly emerged from the darkness not far away seemed very satisfied to see the young man's expression at the moment, and there was a hint of smile in her voice;

"In addition to this identity, I have another identity. Do you know why the weird things in your two props were scared away when they saw me? Because..."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and the tone of her voice suddenly became a little more playful, and then she spoke word by word.

“I am one of the “developers” of the Divine Road.”

"That's why this dungeon contains a consumable item called 'Chain of Causality' that is like a divine artifact. I live in this worldview, but I didn't die here. I did serve as the abbot of a monastery in the 90s."

"When Shenlu finally created this dungeon, for some reason, he turned me into an NPC in this dungeon."

"Although I no longer have a character card, it still doesn't affect me at all. As a 'developer', I don't have to be refreshed over and over again like an ordinary NPC..."
