Gu Fei and Xiao Yu left the church and once again went to harass the village chief.
"Village chief, what kind of person was Murphy who was killed by the werewolf?" Gu Fei went straight to the point.
"Murphy was a good lad, honest, kind, and got along well with everyone in the village. It was a pity that he died." The village chief said.
Gu Fei then simply asked if the lad was good at fighting. In the end, the village chief said the same thing.
"Then where did Murphy go after he died?" Gu Fei asked.
"He was buried in the cemetery behind the south hill of the village. Everyone in the village will be buried there after they die." The village chief said.
Gu Fei strode out of the village chief's house and went straight to the village general store to buy a shovel. He then walked towards the south hill.
"What are you doing?" With Xiao Yu's slow reaction, she could faintly sense what Gu Fei wanted to do.
"Digging up a grave." Gu Fei said.
"Why do you want to do that?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I think there's something strange about Murphy." Gu Fei said.
"What's strange about him?" Xiao Yu asked.
"He should be very strong, but the village chief doesn't seem to know." Gu Fei said.
"Then how do you know?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Uh … I guessed." Gu Fei said.
"Oh …" This kind of answer could only fool Xiao Yu.
For the sake of the mission, Xiao Yu didn't seem to be afraid of any sacrifice. Digging up a grave didn't make her feel the slightest bit of fear. The two came to the cemetery behind the hill and found Murphy's name among the tombstones. They immediately started digging.
A brown coffin gradually appeared in front of the two. Gu Fei stuffed the shovel into the gap of the coffin lid and called Xiao Yu over to help.
Xiao Yu stretched out her hand and the coffin lid immediately flew out. Thinking that there might be some scary scenes inside, Gu Fei hurriedly covered Xiao Yu's eyes with his hand and quickly scanned the inside.
"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Yu pulled away Gu Fei's hand and peered into the coffin: "Huh, why is there nothing?"
Gu Fei was deep in thought.
"Did the game developers slack off?" Xiao Yu said.
"Probably not. If they didn't want to make it so detailed, there was no need to put an empty coffin here. Since the coffin was designed, what's so hard about throwing a skeleton or a corpse inside? There must be something behind it. "Gu Fei said.
"Could it be that Murphy isn't dead yet?" Xiao Yu said.
"That's one possibility," Gu Fei said. "Another possibility is that the body was stolen."
"Why do you want to steal the corpse?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I don't know, maybe the corpse has some secrets?" Gu Fei said.
"What do we do now?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Let's wait here first." Gu Fei said.
"Wait for what?" Xiao Yu said.
"If digging up the grave and opening the coffin isn't part of the quest, the grave will be refreshed and restored to its original state. But if this is a part of the design, then I should be able to return to my original appearance after I complete the entire quest. "Gu Fei said.
Little Rain listened with a blank face. Gu Fei smiled and said, "The game's quests are all made by the designers. Doing quests, rather than saying that you're interacting with the NPC, it's better to say that you're interacting with the designer behind the NPC. If you can grasp their mentality, it will be very beneficial for doing this kind of difficult task. "
Little Yu continued to be distressed. After a long time, she said, "How would I know what they're thinking?"
Gu Fei laughed, "I don't know either, I'm just guessing."
The two of them waited by the graveyard for a few minutes, but Murphy's grave still hadn't returned to its original state. Gu Fei nodded his head in affirmation: there was a big problem with Murphy's character.
At this time, Ye Xiaowu had nothing to do, so he watched Gu Fei do quests in the monitoring group with the tracker on. In response to the monitoring group's questioning of "not following the rules", Ye Xiaowu said, "This is the first person to receive a quest chain, so I need to follow up and see if there are any problems with our quest chain." In reality, Gu Fei wasn't the only person who had received a quest chain. Ye Xiaowu followed him purely out of interest in this character.
And Gu Fei's quest progress gave him a huge shock.
The completion of a quest chain wasn't a straight line. There would be many opportunities in the middle to reach the same goal. Of course, these were all designed ideas. The differences between players' levels, classes, and skills were the main factors that influenced the different solutions. Ye Xiaowu already had a deep understanding of Gu Fei's account. After he substituted himself in, he discovered that no matter what method he used, he would always be stuck at a certain point. The reason was that he was limited by his level or skills. This was a problem that couldn't be solved no matter how hard he tried.
With a mischievous attitude, he wanted to see Gu Fei at his wits' end. When Gu Fei and Xiao Yu looked around the church for clues, Ye Xiaowu secretly laughed for a long time. But to his great surprise, the two of them seemed to have found something. After that, they went straight to the village chief's house and then went to dig up Murphy's grave.
Murphy was indeed a possible link, and a breakthrough point could be found from the church, but it wasn't something that could be solved like Gu Fei and Xiao Yu's carpet search. The method that Ye Xiaowu knew was definitely not something that the two of them could use. But right now, the two of them seemed to have found something here.
Ye Xiaowu really wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about. But the monitoring system's voice was blocked. After all, the players' conversations were likely to involve very important privacy. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the monitoring system wouldn't even monitor the players' conversations. To remove the voice block, an extremely high level of authority was required. It wasn't something that Ye Xiaowu or the monitoring group could decide.
With a blank expression, Ye Xiaowu and Xiao Yu, who was by the graveyard, thought about it together. He suddenly realized that if there was a level or skill restriction, then the Eddie segment at the beginning of this chain of quests shouldn't have been completed by a level 30 player. But in the end, Gu Fei had actually passed it. Could it be that there was a path in the chain of quests that they themselves didn't realize?
In the game, Gu Fei and Xiao Yu, who had left the graveyard, went to find the village chief again.
When he told them that Murphy's body was missing, the village chief was only surprised, but he couldn't say a word.
After leaving the village chief's house, the sky gradually darkened. Four hours of daylight had passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already night in the game. Gu Fei searched for the moon in the sky. Would it be a full moon tonight?
If it was a full moon, where would the werewolves appear?
Gu Fei thought of the church and hurriedly rushed there with Xiao Yu.
Moonlight finally shone down, but it was a pity that the moon tonight wasn't full. If the moon in the game had any changes, tonight would probably be the least full.
"Xiao Yu, look at the shape of the moon." Gu Fei said to Xiao Yu. He was a little suspicious that he was in a quest setting, living under a different sky from other players.
"Are you nearsighted?" Xiao Yu asked as she looked up. In the end, she replied, "It's curved."
The same shape. Gu Fei muttered to himself. Today wasn't the official day for a werewolf to reveal itself.
The dilapidated church looked lonely and desolate in the night. What a nice murder scene! Gu Fei sighed. At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past the broken wall.
"Who is it!" Gu Fei shouted subconsciously as he pulled out his sword and rushed over.
But the dark shadow was already one step ahead of him.
"A werewolf!" Xiao Yu screamed, but in the face of such a terrifying creature, there was no fear in her voice. Instead, there was surprise. "The werewolf is out!"
The game designers would definitely cry. They had designed such a strange scene, but they had encountered a girl who was so stupid that she forgot to be afraid. Gu Fei thought to himself as he pulled out his sword and slashed at the dark shadow that was pouncing at him.
It was indeed a werewolf.
It was tall, and its eyes were glowing green. Its two powerful front claws were clawing at Gu Fei. Its bloody mouth was full of spittle, and its sharp teeth looked very eerie under the moonlight.
The werewolf twisted its body in midair and dodged Gu Fei's slash. Its front claws continued to swing at Gu Fei. Gu Fei could already smell the stench in its mouth.
Without any delay, Gu Fei's sword was placed vertically at his side, meeting the enemy's sweeping claws.
"Hu!" Gu Fei's body was already sent flying.
It was too fast! Gu Fei thought to himself. The werewolf was as fast as he had imagined. This speed, if compared, was comparable to the warrior's Whirlwind Slash. So Gu Fei used the same method he used to block Xiao Yu's Whirlwind Slash. Fortunately, his sword did not break this time. Besides, his sword was facing outwards, and the werewolf was not using a weapon, but its own claws. It should have been injured.
This was the knowledge of physics: the action of force is reciprocal!
Gu Fei fell to the ground. His HP dropped a little. If he was hit by that claw, Gu Fei had no doubt that he would be killed in an instant.
Looking up, Xiao Yu also raised her axe, wanting to slash.
"No!" Gu Fei hurriedly shouted. He and Xiao Yu were originally standing together. If the werewolf wanted to attack, the two of them could have fallen together. However, it only chose Gu Fei as its target. Obviously, Gu Fei was the player who accepted the quest. Although it did not attack Xiao Yu, it did not mean that it would not retaliate if Xiao Yu attacked it.
Xiao Yu wanted to stop, but it was too late. At this moment, the werewolf let out a low growl, suddenly turned around and jumped over the wall to escape. At this time, Xiao Yu's axe was only halfway through its swing.
"I scared the werewolf away?" Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.
Gu Fei quickly ran over the wall, but the werewolf was already gone.
"It's injured." Gu Fei returned to Xiao Yu's side, crouched down, and touched the few drops of blood on the ground.
"Did you notice its neck?" Gu Fei asked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu shook her head.
"Werewolves also wear dog collars?" Gu Fei muttered to himself. Just before the werewolf escaped, Gu Fei noticed that it was wearing something on its neck.
