Gu Fei and Xiao Yu left the church and once again went to harass the Village Elder.
"Village Elder, what kind of person was Murphy who was killed by the werewolf?" Gu Fei got straight to the point.
"Murphy was a good lad. He was honest and kind. He got along well with the villagers. It was a pity that he died." The Village Elder said.
Gu Fei then simply asked if the lad was good at fighting. In the end, the Village Elder said the same thing.
"Then where did Murphy go after he died?" Gu Fei asked.
"He was buried in the cemetery behind the South Mountain of the village. Everyone in the village is buried there after they die." The Village Elder said.
Gu Fei strode out of the Village Elder's house and went straight to the general store in the village. He bought a shovel and headed south up the mountain.
"What are you doing?" Even with Xiao Yu's slow reaction, she could faintly sense what Gu Fei was doing.
"Digging up the grave." Gu Fei said.
"Why are you doing that?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I think there's something strange about Murphy." Gu Fei said.
"What's strange?" Xiao Yu asked.
"He should be very strong, but the Village Elder 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 fool Xiao Yu.
For the sake of the mission, Xiao Yu didn't seem to be afraid of any sacrifice. Digging up the grave didn't make her feel the slightest bit of fear. The two of them arrived at the cemetery behind the hill and found Murphy's name among the tombstones. They immediately began to dig up the grave.
A brown coffin gradually appeared in front of the two of them. Gu Fei shoved 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 glanced inside.
"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Yu pulled away the hand that Gu Fei used to cover her eyes and looked inside the coffin. "Huh, why is there nothing?"
Gu Fei was deep in thought.
"Are they slacking off in game production?" Little Rain said.
"I don't think so. If they didn't want to make it so detailed, they wouldn't have put an empty coffin here. Since the coffin was designed, how hard would it be to throw a skeleton or a corpse into it? There must be something behind this. "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 and see," 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 it's part of the quest, then it should only be refreshed 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 we can grasp their psychology, it'll be very beneficial for doing this kind of slightly difficult quest. "
Xiao Yu continued to be distressed. After a long time, she said, "How would I know what they're thinking!"
Gu Fei smiled. "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 didn't return to its original state. Gu Fei nodded his head in affirmation: there was something wrong with Murphy's character.
At this time, Ye Xiaowu had nothing to do. She watched Gu Fei do the quest with the tracker on in the monitoring group. Ye Xiaowu brushed off the Monitoring Team's doubts about "not following the rules" by saying, "This is the first person to receive a mission chain. I need to follow up and observe it to see if there are any problems with our mission chain." In reality, Gu Fei wasn't the only person in the game who had received a quest chain. Ye Xiaowu followed him purely because he was interested in this character.
And Gu Fei's quest progress surprised him.
The completion of the quest chain wasn't a straight line. There would be many opportunities to reach the same goal. Of course, these were all designed ideas. The differences in players' levels, professions, and skills were the main factors that affected the different solutions. Ye Xiaowu already had a deep understanding of Gu Fei's account. After he substituted himself in, he found that no matter what method he used, he would 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. While Gu Fei and Little Rain were searching for clues in the church, Ye Xiaowu secretly laughed for a long time. However, to his great surprise, the two of them seemed to have really found something. After that, they went straight to the village chief's house, and after that, they went to dig up Murphy's grave.
Murphy was indeed a possible link, and they could find a breakthrough 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 surveillance system's voice was blocked. After all, the players' conversations were likely to involve very important privacy. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't even monitor the players' conversations. Removing the voice block required extremely high authority. It wasn't something that Ye Xiaowu or the monitoring group could decide.
With a blank expression, Ye Xiaowu and Gu Fei and Xiao Yu, who were by the graveyard, thought 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, after leaving the graveyard, Gu Fei and Xiao Yu found 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?
When Gu Fei arrived at the church, he hurried over with Xiao Yu.
Moonlight finally shone down, but unfortunately, the moon tonight wasn't full. If the moon in the game was ever changing, tonight would probably be the night with the least roundness.
"Xiao Yu, look at the shape of the moon." Gu Fei said to Xiao Yu. He suspected that he was in a quest setting, living under a different sky from the other players.
"Are you nearsighted?" Xiao Yu asked as she looked up. "It's curved."
The same shape. Gu Fei muttered to himself. Today wasn't the official appearance day for a werewolf.
The dilapidated church looked lonely and desolate in the night. What a nice murder scene! Gu Fei sighed. Just then, a shadow suddenly flashed past the dilapidated wall.
"Who's there!" Gu Fei shouted subconsciously as he pulled out his sword and rushed over.
But the shadow was already one step ahead of him.
"A werewolf!" Xiao Yu cried out, 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 shadow that was pouncing over.
It was indeed a werewolf.
It was tall, and its eyes were glowing green. Its two powerful front claws were coming for 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. Gu Fei could already smell the stench in its mouth.
Without any delay, Gu Fei's sword was raised to his side, and met 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. In addition, 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, and his HP dropped a little. If he was hit by the claws, Gu Fei had no doubt that he would be killed in an instant.
Looking up, Xiao Yu also raised her axe and wanted 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, it was because 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 only swung her axe halfway.
"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.
