Chapter 653 Just like that, it disappeared out of thin air
Silent all night.
Next, Qin Shang spent the entire night walking along the night patrol route posted on the signboard at the entrance of the monastery.
The route is not complicated. It is basically just walking around and around along the streets below the monastery. There are also some small paths in it. Qin Shang initially suspected that there were some clues hidden in the paths, but in the end he found that he was overthinking. The main storyline of the first day seemed to have ended here.
If you want to get new clues next, you may need the NPCs in the copy to promote the development of the plot. Only when the plot is extended further will new clues appear.
But what was outrageous was that after completing the first lap, the progress bar of Qin Shang's solo side quest, exploring the mystery of his strange birth, actually increased. This was also the reason why Qin Shang did not slack off and honestly walked around the monastery all night.
However, there is still no change in the other tasks. I am afraid that the clues for tonight end here. Only when the new main story appears tomorrow will there be new clues to the main plot. As for the whole night, the little ghost baby stayed in the forest at the main gate of the monastery. If there was any strange movement, the little ghost baby would immediately tell Qin Shang.
But unfortunately, the long-necked creature did not appear again for the whole night.
At half past six, Qin Shang, with dark circles under his eyes, yawned continuously. He pounded his sore thighs while walking to the monastery and appeared at the main gate of the monastery on time.
From a distance, Qin Shang had already seen the petite figure of 'Urine is the tears of the bladder'.
After being separated for a few hours, Qin Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the girl was safe and sound.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand and greeted the girl.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, he found that the state of 'urine is the tears of the bladder' was a little wrong again.
As I got closer, I realized that urine was the tears of the bladder. There was something wrong. When this girl saw me again after a night, she didn't have the excitement and joy she had when she saw Qin Shang walking out of the corridor yesterday. Instead, she looked terrified.
Because the girl's attention was not focused on the roads around the monastery, and she didn't even look in her own direction.
It was not until Qin Shang approached her that his shadow cast a shadow over her, probably blocking some of the light from the girl's sight.
The little girl shuddered as if she was frightened, and looked at Qin Shang in uncertainty.
"Yu, Brother Yuzu..."
Wow.
The next moment, when she saw clearly that the person coming was Qin Shang, she suddenly spoke excitedly in confusion, her tone filled with tears.
"Dead! Someone's dead!"
When Qin Shang heard what she blurted out, his expression froze.
dead?
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone in this town is dead, all dead!"
"I ran around yesterday and didn't see a single NPC. Then in the morning I found out... all the NPCs were dead. Not a single NPC was alive!"
what! ?
boom--
As soon as these words came out, Qin Shang was shocked.
How can it be?
Are all the people in the town dead?
Does this mean that all the NPCs in this instance died in just a few hours last night?
This, how is this possible?
This is a background board based on reality, meaning that one day in the 90s, in Jiangcheng, a small town near the monastery, all the living people died?
Listen, does this make sense?
Noticing the astonishment in Qin Shang's eyes, his tone of voice was filled with a strong sense of crying when he said "Urine is the tears of the bladder".
"Every household locked their doors at midnight yesterday. I thought they were security conscious and locked their doors out of habit. But when I knocked on the door, no one responded. I guess the people here are timid. Maybe they have a strong sense of security and deliberately don't open the door to strangers at night. And then... Gulu."
She paused, her spirit seemed to be extremely frightened. She probably used up all her strength to say those few words. Her mouth was dry and she took two deep breaths.
Qin Shang also restrained his expression and listened silently. Although Urine is the tear of bladder's words just now brought him a great shock, he still did not urge him. He waited with a gloomy face for Urine to speak again.
"In the morning, I passed by a few rooms and secretly pushed open the windows, and then I saw inside!"
"They are corpses, all of them..."
Corpse?
Is there a dead body in the home of someone living in this small town?
Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.
"One household? Or all of them?"
'Urine is the tears of the bladder.' He swallowed and moistened his throat.
"Everyone! I pushed open more than a dozen doors and windows... and the people inside were all dead!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Shang's tiredness from patrolling the night was swept away. He was instantly much more awake, his eyes widened and he said excitedly to "Urine is the teardrops of the bladder";
"Could it be an illusion?"
How can it be?
How could this be possible?
All the NPCs in the dungeon died overnight?
"How did these people die? How long have they been dead? Did you see any blood?"
Urine is the tear of the bladder. It seems that it was frightened by the scene it saw in the morning. Now when it was mentioned again, its little face was still pale. It turned its head stiffly and looked at Qin Shang. Qin Shang could read the remaining fear in her eyes.
The next moment, her lips trembled up and down twice.
"He's been dead for a long time!"
"Brother Cockroach Jadefoot, those NPCs, the natives of this instance have been dead for a long time."
"The rooms I saw were mostly covered with spider webs, and the corpses had been eaten clean. In some houses, only bones were left. But the weird thing is..."
"The weird thing is!"
'Urine is the tears of the bladder.' He paused here.
Fortunately, the sun has slowly emerged from the distant horizon. The light has dispelled some of the darkness of the night and indirectly calmed some of the fear in her heart. 'Urine is the tears of the bladder', she said tremblingly.
"I went to the houses of the indigenous people last night and could clearly hear faint conversations coming from inside from time to time, as if there were living people moving around in this instance. Occasionally, there were a few houses with lights on, and I could see the shadowy figures of people when I looked inside from the windows outside. But no matter how hard I knocked on the door, no one responded to me. Those people ignored me as if they were deaf."
"I also deliberately marked the rooms whose doors I knocked on..."
"When I went there in the morning, I secretly pried open the door and pushed open the window. There was either no one inside or a rotting corpse. The windowsill was also covered with dust. It didn't look like anyone was still living there."
At night, there were sounds of people talking in the room and the lights were on, but everyone inside died overnight?
Isn’t this fucking outrageous?
The next moment, Qin Shang comforted the girl with a few words.
He immediately suppressed the turmoil in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
If she had nothing to say, she had clearly seen living NPCs in the dungeon last night, such as the old man selling candied haws, so... why did all these NPCs die overnight?
And according to what the bladder teardrops say, the NPCs have been dead for quite some time...
Does this cut off our channel for obtaining information from NPCs?
He frowned; "Could it be an illusion?"
"No, you see, I didn't even dare to wipe the dust off my hands because I was afraid you would say that. I specifically touched the windows and door sills. People in this era don't have mobile phones as a form of entertainment, so how could they not do housework? Besides, many things in the room are placed neatly, as if something happened and the family never had the chance to come back to clean the room. There is a lot of dust, and it is obvious that it has not been cleaned for a long time, but the things are placed neatly."
Hearing this, Qin Shang subconsciously glanced at the white little hand that was stretched out by 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder'.
His expression was also stunned.
Indeed, the five fingers of the girl's left hand were covered with dust.
She seemed to have kept her fist clenched in order to hold the handful of ashes tightly and bring it in front of her.
"Strange thing..."
Qin Shang blurted out something to himself, and the plot of a horror game that Jiang Qiqi had once told him popped up unconsciously in his mind. The first thing that came to his mind was whether the NPCs here were only refreshed at night, and the daytime was the real corresponding background board reality?
Clues can only be obtained at night, and during the day, all NPCs will die.
But this is too ridiculous. If the actual situation in the copy is like this, doesn’t it mean that everyone in this town died one day in the 90s?
"Brother Yuzu, you, you..."
The next moment, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' suddenly exclaimed.
The little face was pale and bloodless.
Qin Shang saw that her beautiful eyes were suddenly staring at him, and his heart was startled. However, he noticed that "urine is the tears of the bladder" was actually looking in the direction behind him, so Qin Shang subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.
He was stunned at the first glance. The tall monastery building behind him suddenly began to fade, as if the refracted light and shadow of a mirage disappeared, and was like a projection, being dispelled by the strong sunlight.
Seeing something with your own eyes and hearing it from other people's ears are two different concepts.
Then, the monastery building gradually faded and became fainter under the gaze of the two people.
Eventually, it disappeared without a trace.
at the same time.
At this moment, the sun finally climbed to the top of the mountain and hung in the void.
As he watched the monastery building behind him disappear, Qin Shang opened his mouth.
The whole person felt like being struck by lightning.
no……
what?
What is going on here?
Just, it disappeared right before my eyes out of thin air?
A building that I had entered last night suddenly disappeared under the reflection of the sunlight! ?
Then, as the sun gradually rose, the monastery behind him and the forest not far in front of him completely disappeared. The monastery's buildings turned into ruins, and Qin Shang could even smell a burnt smell in his nostrils.
As for the forest not far away, it was even more ridiculous. It had turned into a pile of broken limbs and debris.
Not even a single green leaf can be seen...
A thick, heart-pounding silence appeared in this scene.
