"Why are you here?"
Xixi looked at them.
“…”
Shi Li was thinking about how to answer at this time.
According to the RPG mode, three options should appear at this time:
1. Doctor Spider, let us thank you for saving our lives.
2. I was worried about you, so I came to see you.
3. When will we go dig manure again?
After thinking about it, Shi Li made a choice.
Mushroom: "Doctor Spider said we don't owe him medical bills, but we still owe you for saving his life ."
Strawman: "I'm worried. Look at you, grass."
Shi Li: “???”
You two have said everything, what else can I say?
"Um... that's it, digging manure..."
After being stuck for a long time, he still couldn't finish speaking.
"You guys saved me too, and I haven't thanked you yet."
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"I know what you mean. Digging shit is fun, right? Haha. I told you you'd get addicted."
Xixi answered them one by one.
"Actually, I just consulted Doctor Spider."
But her expression darkened immediately: "The actual situation in this town is even more serious than what Mr. Grasshopper said."
"I grew up in this small town, and the neighbors are very friendly."
"Now that I have encountered such a thing, I feel very uncomfortable and I don't know what to do."
After listening to her, Shi Li's brain program started again and he made up three RPG options.
1. You are such a kind girl.
2. We will help the town solve the problem, so don't worry.
3. Let’s go dig some manure to change our mood.
Mushroom: "You are really kind-hearted."
Strawman: "Don't worry, I'm here, straw."
Shi Li: “…”
That's enough for you two.
"Found the target, make the arrest!"
However, at this moment, the guards suddenly appeared from the corner of the street and surrounded them.
"What's going on?"
Shi Li looked around and found that they were the only ones here.
Could it be that the person to be arrested is Xixi?
While he was thinking about it, he saw Palan walking out from behind the guard.
"Xixi, come here, these people are very dangerous."
He looked unhappy, raised his hand and commanded his men, "Prepare for battle, get ready to fight!"
"?" x3
This development confused Shi Li and the others.
When did I become the bad guy?
"Palan, what are you doing!?"
Xixi opened her hands and stood between Shi Li and Palan.
"Listen to me, Xixi."
But Palan seemed to be prepared: "These outsiders showed up in the town, and the disease broke out. Don't you think there is some strange connection between them?"
"ah?"
Xixi never expected the other party to say that and was stunned for a moment.
"No, they didn't stay in the town for long."
"And I was with them the whole time, and I didn't see them do anything special at all."
"If you really say that, you should lay out the evidence first!"
She didn't believe what Palan said.
“…”
Seeing this, Palan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Of course I have evidence. Their accomplices have been imprisoned. If you don't believe me, just follow me to the guard cell and take a look!"
Fellow party?
Ah Qing was arrested?
Shi Li was stunned when he heard this. This shouldn't be the case.
"You tell me, what should I do, f**k."
At this time, the straw man approached secretly.
This group of people seemed to have completely ignored their existence. Do you think you can catch Mr. Cao just because you want to?
"If we want to continue to take on missions, it might not be convenient to fall out with the town."
Mushroom Mushroom holds a different opinion .
Of course it knows that they are innocent, so a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear.
But at this moment, Xixi turned her head back.
"This must be a misunderstanding, and I am absolutely on the side of those who believe you."
"Otherwise, I'll just have to ask you to go over there and cooperate with the investigation so that you can clear your name."
After she made this suggestion, she continued, "But don't worry, I will definitely get a satisfactory explanation from the guards afterwards."
[Ding Dong! ]
[Task 1: Investigate the real culprit of the town's deteriorating disease outbreak]
[Tip: Please don’t let Xixi down]
Shi Li and Mosaicuo looked at each other.
Look, here comes the task.
And it is written as Mission 1, which means it is a continuation of Doctor Spider's line.
"Okay, let's go along."
So Shi Li waved his hand and made no other plans.
Anyway, there is a straw man there, so it will only take a few minutes to escape from prison.
"take away!"
Following Palan's instructions, they walked towards the cell surrounded by the guards.
When they arrived at the cell, Shi Li and others were detained.
And Xixi followed Palan to the office.
“Xixi…”
As soon as the office door closed, Palan's expression softened.
"Where's the evidence you mentioned? You'd better bring it out quickly."
But Xixi was very determined.
"Okay, here are the confessions of their accomplices. Take them and have a look."
Seeing her like this, Palan didn't say much and took out a document from the drawer.
…
On the other side, Shi Li and Mosaichou seemed a little surprised.
Because they suddenly discovered that there were three "old acquaintances" sitting next to their cells.
The dwarf Mothman and his two little brothers.
"Hey, here I come."
When the dwarf mothman saw them, he deliberately greeted them.
"Is he the one you mentioned?"
Strictly speaking, the mushrooms have never met each other.
Not to mention, it's rare to meet a poker player who is about the same height as me, and he is quite friendly.
"What do you mean, I have a name, Rod."
Rhode stood up in dissatisfaction, but then said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You are finally here."
"What do you mean it's finally here?"
Shi Li frowned.
"You guessed it right. I was the one who pointed you out."
It turns out that the accomplices that Palan was referring to were these three Moth Men.
"etc."
Just when Rhodes was about to explain, Shi Li looked at Mushroom.
"Take a look at him first."
"Okay."
So Mushroom took out a mirror from the scarecrow's stomach.
This was given to them by Ah Qing before they parted.
Because there was no place to store it, it was stuffed into the straw man's stomach.
It just so happened that I had escaped the guards’ body search and was brought in.
"Huh? Right heart mirror?"
Unexpectedly, Rhodes could tell the origin of the mirror at a glance.
"It seems like you are well prepared."
He smiled.
He had never doubted Shi Li's identity.
Since he was still beaten even though he had revealed his right-heart identity, it meant that the other party must be a player from the left-heart world.
"This guy is actually a Zuoxin person."
Mosaic looked at Rhodes in the mirror and saw that it was a reversed image.
"I'm sorry, I was greedy for the PK victory reward, so I didn't reveal my identity and fold my cards immediately."
"But now, I really need your help."
"Or the Left Heart faction needs your help to protect this Left Heart world."
Rhodes now put on a serious expression that he had never shown before.
It turned out that after he abandoned his cards and ran away that night, he accidentally discovered a secret in the forest.
The secret of the spread of the disease worsening in this nearby area.
"You would never guess what the source of the disease that has worsened in this area is."
After looking around, he approached the railing and lowered his voice.
"Oh? It seems like you know it."
When this was mentioned, Li was no longer sleepy. After all, this might be information related to their mission.
“That source… is the tree.”
"Tsk~" x2
When these words were spoken, Shi Li and Mosaicuo sneered at the same time.
Because from the information they currently have, plants will not suffer from worsening diseases.
"No, just listen to me first."
“The source is not a tree, but a forest of trees!”
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Rhodes became a little anxious.
So he quickly explained.
"Formation, have you heard of formation?"
"I have been to a dungeon world where formations were popular before, where I saw some of the methods used by the local natives and learned a few tricks."
“So when I encountered one of the formation’s core points, I recognized it as a formation at first glance.”
"Although I cannot determine the specific principle of this formation, I can infer its general effect through the distribution pattern of the formation."
"After a day of research and exploration, I have been able to determine that there is an attribute in the formation, and that is enchanting the mind."
The description of a fascinating mind is indeed quite similar to the characteristics of a deteriorating disease.
However, considering Rhode's previous behavior, they only believed 10% of this statement.
To put it bluntly, be skeptical.
"Since you know the formation, why don't you just break it?"
So Mosaichou asked a question.
"According to my guess, the specific effect of this formation should be that it will randomly give the creatures within the range of the formation a deteriorating disease. Well, that's roughly it."
"But do you know how big this formation is? It probably covers several small towns around it!"
“It would take a considerable amount of time and effort to completely destroy it.”
Rhodes replied.
"If you really are a member of the so-called left-heart faction, you should be breaking the formation now instead of sitting in a cell."
This time it was Shi Li's turn to raise questions.
“You don’t understand this.”
"It is quite difficult for someone of my level to completely destroy a formation of this scale in one go."
"The most important thing is that I'm afraid my speed of destruction cannot keep up with the speed of others' formation repair."
"I need help!"
That's why Rhodes thought of Shi Li and the others.
So he followed the moth powder of his younger brothers and found the cell.
After thinking about it, they came up with a plan to surrender themselves to the prison, and then ask the guards to help them find Shi Li and others.
"Don't you have younger brothers? What else do you need us to do?"
Mosaichu still didn't believe it.
"Them? See if they can be used."
Rhodes seemed a little helpless.
After hearing what he said, Shi Li and others realized that the two moth men had been in a daze since they came in.
Looks like... retarded.
"My treatment methods have side effects. They have had too many attacks, and I have been forced to treat them too many times."
"It is estimated that within a year or so, their IQ will not return to normal."
Rota sighed and continued, "And haven't you ever thought about it?"
"What is the origin of this guy who can set up this kind of formation that does not belong to this world?"
"Right-minded, card player!"
"To deal with the card players, of course you have to use the card players!"
In fact, after being tricked by Shi Li and A Qing, he became a little less confident.
At the same time, I also understand that it is important to have the advantage in numbers when dealing with players in this copy.
He was just a small trainee member of the Left-heart Faction and had no confidence in dealing with a member of the Right-heart Faction.
But he wanted to gain credit by executing first and reporting later, so he could only reward them when they came for help.
“Hiss… huh.”
In fact, Shi Li was quietly observing Rhodes' micro-expressions the whole time.
So much conversation, so much information revealed.
He didn't even see a single flaw on the other person's face.
In other words, although you are reluctant to believe it, there is a high probability that what the other person says is true.
Let's assume that what Rhodes said is true, then the question arises.
Who is the right-minded player?
The answer is obvious.
(What a mistake. I didn’t expect that I would be fooled by a robot in the end.)
(The left-minded call themselves the right-minded, and the right-minded call themselves the left-minded. People in these two circles are really exhausting.)
Thinking of this, he felt helpless.
But after all, Gundam has no micro-expressions, and I really had no idea how to tell its authenticity at the time.
At this time, Mosaicgu pulled Shi Li to another corner and lowered his voice.
"Why do I feel like what this guy said seems to be true? Then doesn't that mean that the robot is..."
Obviously, it has thought of this too.
"In fact, it is very easy to judge whose words are true and whose are false."
Shi Li held up his chin and replied, "Find Uncle Tu and use the right heart mirror to look at him and you will know."
"Well, now you believe what I say."
Seeing the two whispering, Rhodes knew that the other party was a little shaken.
"I don't believe it yet, but you can come with us to verify it."
Shi Li came back to his side of the fence.
"no problem."
Rhode nodded and said sincerely, "There are three of you. As long as the three of you stay within the effective distance, even if I really have hostility, I can only trigger a 3V1 game and I can't beat you."
Apparently, he had misunderstood a little.
He thought that people like Mushroom Grass were on the same level as Ah Qing.
If it was Shi Li + 2 Ah Qing, he really couldn't beat him.
"But have you ever thought about a question?"
Mushroom looked at him and asked, "It was easy for you to surrender yourself in, but how are you going to get out now?"
"Haha, young man, oh no, young mushroom."
"Now let me show you my talent as a poker player."
Faced with this question, Rhodes smiled confidently.
But before he could start his move, he found that the straw man had already walked to the fence.
Shi Li: "Now let me show you my little brother's talent as a poker player."
Strawman: "What are you talking about, straw."
…
"I don't believe it!"
Bang!
After reading Rhodes' confession, Xixi slammed it on the table.
“Xixi…”
Palan frowned.
"Take me to see those three Moth Men right now. I want to confront him face to face!"
She absolutely did not believe that what happened that night was a kidnapping drama directed and performed by Shi Li and the Moth Man.
I don't even believe that Shi Li is the devil's apostle who spreads the deteriorating disease.
I even promised to help him lay eggs!
"Calm down, calm down."
Paran didn't expect her reaction to be so intense.
"It's bad, Lord Palan! It's bad, Lord Palan!"
Bang!
At this time, the office door was pushed open by the subordinate.
"Fault, fault, fault, fault, fault..."
"Speak with your tongue straight!"
"The prisoner escaped from prison!"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Palan stood up suddenly.
"Look, do you still think they are innocent now?"
"If he was innocent, why would he escape from prison?"
He looked at Xixi.
"No! This is impossible!"
Xixi pushed the guard away and walked quickly towards the cell.
But when she entered the cell, she had to believe the truth.
The widened iron railings and the clearly outlined holes of the straw men on the wall all indicate what happened here.
Shi Li and his two companions as well as Rhodes had disappeared by this time, leaving only the two stupid Mothman brothers sitting in the cell drooling.
…
Outside Shupan Town, in the wild forest.
"Woooa ...
Rod supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily.
During the escape from the town, he was regarded as the last man.
Every time the guard catches up and triggers PVE, you discard your cards to delay time.
Those three guys were hanging far ahead.
"Who made your legs so short?"
The arrogant Mushroom spread out his hands with a mocking look.
“…”
Rhodes looked at the other man's legs, then looked at his own legs.
To be honest, his legs are much longer.
But there is nothing we can do about it, since this mushroom man has brothers.
The whole time, the straw man was carrying it while running, and his feet never even touched the ground.
"You are a LV25 boss, you have plenty of discard cards."
"We newcomers can't afford it."
Shi Li also spread his hands.
"Newcomer?"
When Rhodes heard this, he looked at the other person up and down with a strange expression.
I thought to myself that if it was a 1v1 game, I might not be able to beat you. What kind of newbie are you?
"Next, where to go, grass."
At this time, the straw man asked a question and threw the mushroom out.
The promised milk tea was only enough to carry it this far, not one step further.
“I don’t know.”
As a result, Rhodes said that he had no goal either.
"You didn't know, and you still led us to escape from prison?"
Shi Li frowned.
"Well, wasn't it your little brother who took the lead in escaping from prison?"
Rhodes asked back.
"Who's the younger brother? Who's the younger brother? F*ck."
"Okay, let's go look for it then."
Shi Li thought about it and told the other party about the existence of Atuba.
"What? There's a card player hiding nearby?"
Rhode looked serious after hearing this: "Card player, tree planting, formation, it sounds like this guy is 99% suspicious."
The key point is that the other party claims to be a non-staff member of the left-wing faction, which makes it even more suspicious.
If there were people from the left-wing faction nearby, how could I not know about it?
As for the location where Atubo lived in seclusion, Shi Li and his friends only knew a rough direction.
Because before we parted, he invited everyone to come over and sit down when they had time.
So just like that, the four of them began to move deeper into the forest.
