On the TV, the host with a strange face flashed by.
The black and white picture turned into a nostalgic snowflake.
Outside, there was a strange light shining.
Irin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly opened the window.
In the dark blue night sky, there were countless stars, like phosphorescence in the sea, shining brightly.
Irin's pupils shrank slightly.
His expression suddenly became serious.
If it was a normal night scene with ordinary stars, even if the stars were spread out in the sky like a few Milky Ways and formed three circles on the left and three circles on the right, Irin would not show such an expression.
That was not the point.
It was.
"What is this?"
Irin slowly reached out to the window and "grabbed" the stars outside the window.
The stars in the sky were like fireflies, close at hand. One of the twinkling stars was held in Irin's hand.
In Irin's hand, there was no physical touch, but there was a strange warmth in the palm of his hand. There was a faint light between his fingers, as if there was really a star in Irin's hand.
"This is not scientific."
"Isn't the so-called celestial image formed by other stars in the universe reflecting the light of the stars?"
Irin let go of his hand.
That "star" floated into the night sky again and soon disappeared.
As the old stars faded away, new stars rose up one after another.
The scene in front of him was as beautiful as a fairytale.
Irin suddenly had an impulse to use the [Grip of Annihilation] to blow it up.
He wanted to see if there would be any changes.
But after thinking for a while, Irin decided to give up the idea.
Irin quickly picked up one star after another.
Obviously.
The countless stars that filled the small town seemed like an illusion, but also not an illusion.
Bang, bang, bang.
There was a hurried knock on the door.
"Brother Irin, open the door, open the door."
It was Xing Fei.
When Xing Fei rushed in and was about to say something, he saw that the window was wide open and countless stars were shining outside. He swallowed the words in his mouth and said, "I was just about to ask you to open the window and take a look."
Irin nodded and remained silent.
Xing Fei's expression was full of vigilance.
After all, no matter how beautiful this scene was, it was hard for him to have the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
It was too strange.
After opening the door, Irin ignored the nervous Xing Fei. She looked calm and enjoyed the starlight in the sky.
Outside the window.
The small town was brimming with a festive atmosphere. Many couples went out hand in hand, admiring the beautiful scenery of the stars with joy. It was very peaceful.
"It's rare."
Irin suddenly sighed.
Xing Fei was stunned. "What's so difficult about it?"
"What I'm saying is, to be able to see such a scene in the trial."
Xing Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're still in the mood to admire the stars?"
Irin stretched out his hand again and fished out the window. He clenched his fist, loosened it, and clenched it again. He was having a lot of fun. He said, "What else can we do? I won't lose any HP anyway, so it's not a bad thing. "
Xing Fei pushed his glasses and was speechless.
It seemed to make a lot of sense!
Therefore, he squeezed to the window and imitated Irin's actions. He fished out the window.
The "stars" that were within reach was a rare experience for anyone.
Unfortunately, this beautiful scenery did not last long.
In the room.
The rustling sound of snowflakes was still echoing.
But outside the window.
The stars in the sky suddenly dissipated.
It was very sudden.
The spots of starlight disappeared without a trace.
The sky darkened again.
In the small town.
The residents who were having fun were rather unhappy, but they could only return helplessly. Some climbed over the wall, some climbed over the window, some read the script, and some watched the game. They all went back to their own homes or other people's homes.
Irin flipped his palm and crushed the Blood Jasmine card. He used psychokinesis to levitate it outside the window.
At an angle that Xing Fei could not see, Irin quickly and secretly summoned Bai Xiaoyi.
"Shh —"
Irin raised his index finger.
Bai Xiaoyi understood instantly. At the critical moment, she was still very reliable. She silently flew into the night sky.
Irin quickly switched to Bai Xiaoyi's vision.
"Bai Xiaoyi" narrowed her eyes and stared at the sky around her.
In the distance, there was still a thick fog. She could not see the farthest place.
But.
In a certain direction.
In the dark sky.
At the bottom of the fog, there was a very black crack.
This scene was a bit like the sky being torn apart by the crack.
Looking more carefully, it did not look like it. It seemed to be just a twisted fog.
"What's going on?"
Xing Fei was puzzled as he watched the beautiful scenery of stars disappear in front of him. He could not help but ask.
And at this moment.
Irin and Xing Fei's hands froze slightly.
It was not because of anything else.
It was because the plot prompt that they had been waiting for had finally arrived because of the strange changes in the small town.
[Welcome to the vacation paradise, Dream Town, Grimm Town.]
[Legend has it that there is a 'Grimm Festival' here every year.]
[A dream scene that you have never seen before will be staged here.]
[You have everything here.]
[You can have everything.]
[As long as you are brave enough, everyone can take maternity leave in the town.]
Irin: "?"
Xing Fei: "???"
[This year, five tourists accidentally broke into this Dream Town.]
[As tourists, you will discover the most twisted truth hidden in this peaceful town.]
[I wish you a wonderful night.]
[Now releasing the main mission: Kill Grimm. Mission time limit: Before the Grimm Festival ends. Return to the real world after the mission is completed. Reward: Unknown.]
Xing Fei lowered his head and seemed to be carefully pondering the mission prompt.
Any apostle who could survive several trials would not ignore the hidden message in the initial prompt.
Even if it was the most useless hint, it might be able to influence a major decision.
But …
Xing Fei was helpless.
This prompt did not seem to be anything interesting.
While Xing Fei was pondering the mission prompt, Irin had already finished reading and quickly put away Bai Xiaoyi, who was like a flash in the pan.
Before Bai Xiaoyi disappeared, she pouted unhappily, as if she hated her master for being heartless.
When Xing Fei looked up, Irin had already put away Blood Jasmine again, as if nothing had happened.
"This mission is a little strange. Who exactly is Grimm? "
Xing Fei was silent for a moment and finally said something nonsense.
Irin smiled and did not deny it.
Indeed.
Grimm Town, Grimm Festival, Grimm mascot … Kill Grimm?
Who was Grimm?
At first glance, it seemed to be a main mission to kill a certain 'Boss'.
But in reality, was it really that simple?
Especially after experiencing the strange scene of stars in the sky not long ago, Irin would not think so.
"I don't know."
Irin said.
Xing Fei nodded. He was not surprised.
Because …
He did not know either.
If everyone did not know, it was as if they were on the same starting line. It was very reassuring.
There was nothing much to discuss next.
For some reason, they could not come up with anything.
Furthermore.
Xing Fei was still in the man's room.
In the middle of the night, a man and a man were alone. Not to mention spreading out, even if it was spread downstairs, the two of them would not be able to defend themselves and would no longer be innocent.
Xing Fei walked out of Irin's room resentfully.
Before leaving, he only said, "If there are any special discoveries, let's contact each other."
"Understood."
Irin said with a smile.
As for whether they understood or not, only each of them knew.
After Xing Fei left, Irin closed the door and took out the [Heart Compass] from the storage space. Brewing emotions.
Thinking about the desire in his heart first.
Then he thought of the main mission.
Then he thought of "Grimm".
Kill … Grimm.
Irin opened his eyes.
The needle on the compass was spinning crazily. The rotation was so big that it seemed that as long as the glass cover of the compass was opened, the needle could fly up to the sky.
Irin: "…?"
"The compass is broken? Impossible. "
This was an epic-level item.
But Irin still knocked the compass on the ground a few times.
It was useless.
The needle was still pointing blindly.
"Is it still the same problem? I don't know who Grimm is, so I can't find him? That can't be right. Since I know it's Grimm, the concept is very clear. Logically, the compass should be able to guide the direction of Grimm. "
"Unless Grimm is not there."
"Or maybe Grimm is in a place where the compass can't point to?"
Irin quickly speculated about the main mission.
Frowning, Irin reluctantly put away the compass.
If it was really so easy to find the mission target, it would be comfortable.
"Looks like the key to the main mission this time isn't just the 'kill' itself. Even finding 'Grimm' is a difficult task."
Irin closed his eyes and carefully memorized the mission hints in his mind, word by word, five more times.
Combined with what he saw during the day, he could analyze a lot of information in the mission hints.
But for now, Irin still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Staring at the night.
Irin was thinking and hesitating.
But in the end, he decided not to move for the time being. He silently turned on the old black and white television and watched a late-night program.
— Wait.
The next day.
Dawn.
"What should have come, still didn't come."
Irin rubbed his sore eyes. He was both surprised and not surprised.
What was surprising was that other than the strange scene of stars in the sky last night, there were no other changes.
And what was not surprising was that Grimm was the main mission target. It would be too degrading for him to be killed so easily.
Brushing his teeth, washing his face, looking in the mirror, and taking care of his physiological needs. Irin seemed to have forgotten how long it had been since he tried to get out of bed so peacefully during the trial.
Oh, no. When he was acting as Elisabeth Winter, it was quite comfortable for a few days.
In the mirror, Irin, who had stayed up all night, didn't leave too many traces of haggard.
When he walked out of the room.
Xing Fei, who was next door, just happened to go out. He yawned and looked quite tired.
"Didn't sleep?"
Xing Fei curled his lips. "I wouldn't dare."
The two went downstairs one after another.
Beep, beep, beep —
There was a whistle outside the door.
Downstairs, Judy was leading a little boy with brown curly hair out the door.
The child lowered his head and clenched the corner of his clothes.
Judy impatiently pulled the child out of the door and complained as she walked. "Damn it, I slept too late last night and almost missed the school bus. Alan, you're already so old, don't you know how to get up yourself? Damn it, with your damn — "
Suddenly.
Judy shut her mouth.
Alan buried his head deeper.
After sending Alan to the school bus, Judy yawned and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
Irin thought for a moment and felt that the timing was quite good. She decided to cover her conscience for once.
"Heh, Judy, your little brother is quite cute."
Irin said with a smile. Her expression was calm, without a trace of reluctance.
Xing Fei, who was beside her, heard this and almost choked on his saliva.
Ah?
Brother Irin.
Were your eyes blinded by the little stars in the sky last night?
With this age difference, it was obvious that they were mother and son!
Xing Fei looked carefully.
Irin's eyes were wide and bright.
It was not the eyes that were blind, but the mouth.
Ten minutes later.
"Oh, no! Alan is my son! "
"But I can't blame you. Who told me to look so young?"
"It's so annoying. There are always people who misjudge Judy's age. Oh, the troubles of a beautiful woman are always so simple and unadorned. This damned youth. "
Irin and Judy chatted happily.
Judith takes a shower. She doesn't seem to mind that Yi Lin and Xing Fei, two strange tourists, are here. She puts on a loose, relatively conservative pajama and giggles. Her body is shaking, and her white flesh is shaking.
Irin said with a smile, "If you don't say it, I really, really can't tell at all."
Judy laughed even more happily, but she still complained. "Don't talk nonsense. Judy is not as young as you say. Hey, I'm old. "
The two of them chatted for a while.
Xing Fei sat on the side and drank coffee silently.
His expression was indifferent.
He felt that at this moment, he was living like a shining light bulb, very annoying.
Judy was in a good mood.
She did not expect that this tourist, who looked ordinary and somewhat ferocious, would become a little handsome when he was generous and had a sweet mouth?
Thinking of this, Judy clamped her legs.
Irin chatted idly.
Judy did not hide anything and told her story very straightforwardly.
It turned out that many years ago, Judy was also a young and beautiful girl.
But just like a hurdle that most beauties could not cross, she met a scumbag that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
After being scumbag, Judy was indeed as melodramatic as the story of every scumbag man and resentful woman. She was pregnant.
But when she wanted to find an honest person to take over, she could not find anyone pleasing to the eye.
With this delay, her stomach grew so big that it could not be hidden.
After all, you said that you were pregnant with the crystallization of love after four months of marriage … How stupid would you have to be to not see through it?
So in the end, like the plot of a melodramatic family ethics drama, on a stormy night, the ignorant Judy gave birth to Alan with tears and blood in the town hospital of Green Town.
After giving birth to Alan, Judy originally wanted to throw Alan at the gate of the orphanage and then pretend that nothing had happened, starting a new life.
But for some reason, looking at the baby's face, she finally decided to raise Alan alone.
Time, like Judy's youth, rubbed and rubbed, a few years had passed until now.
Since Alan was born, Alan's father had never appeared again, and Judy also thought that his father was dead.
Xing Fei listened to the story of ethics without any ripples in his heart.
This kind of story did not feel out of place even in the real world.
Unfortunately, contraceptive technology was good now, and this kind of accidental pregnancy was rare.
Irin casually added a few more words.
Show empathy … Ah, no, show enough sympathy.
After spending nearly half an hour and brushing up a lot of favorability on Judy, Irin finally cut to the chase.
"Judy, I watched the program yesterday, saying that there is an event in town these days called Green something?"
"Green Festival."
Judy covered her mouth and smiled, throwing a small flirtatious glance at Irin. "Oh, I think you saw it last night, right? It was so beautiful, but unfortunately it was gone in a while. "
"What is Green Festival?"
"Green Festival, it is Green Festival. At this time of the year, every night, strange things will happen in Green Town. But over time, the people here have become used to it, and it has evolved into a celebration. Every time at this time, everyone will celebrate happily. "
"Since when?"
"Yesterday." Judy quietly moved closer to Irin.
Irin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "How long does Green Festival last?"
"A whole seven days!"
Seven days!
To be precise, it should be seven nights.
Last night was the first night.
Irin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
They understood in their hearts.
Key information, get.
At the very least, they were clear about the time limit of the mission.
The main mission was clearly marked that they had to complete the main mission before the end of Green Festival.
Irin noticed the strangeness in Judy's words, and struck while the iron was hot, looting a burning house, and continued to fish for information.
"Judy, I am very curious. When you say strange things, are you referring to the ones last night?"
Actually, Judy originally wanted to say that other than the strange things, maybe something else would happen at night … even during the day would be fine. But after thinking about it carefully, Judy suppressed the thought of something happening.
"Hehe, what happened last night was considered a small matter."
Irin was slightly startled.
Xing Fei was stunned.
Small matter?
Last night's starry sky was considered a small matter?
Then wouldn't the big "strange things" go to the heavens?
Could it be that this was the real difficulty of this trial?
The first night was just to let the five apostles feel the warmth of the festival, and the care from the tower. Next, it was the time when people would really die?
A string of thoughts appeared in Xing Fei's mind.
Without waiting for the other two to ask, Judy counted with her fingers, the so-called "strange things in Green Festival".
"Sometimes, some strange creatures will appear. Sometimes, it will suddenly snow. Sometimes, the whole town will be filled with strange insects. There are even weirder ones … "Judith's tone suddenly changed. She sounded a little gloomy as if she was telling a ghost story." People who were already dead suddenly came back to life in the Grimm Ritual. "
Xing Fei suddenly shivered, as if the surroundings suddenly became cold.
Irin's expression did not change, and asked again, "Nobody cares about these strange things?"
Judy chuckled. "Who cares? The only policeman in town, Old Brown, is drunk all day. He only wakes up at noon. Also, nothing happened. "
"Nothing happened?" Xing Fei pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, and pressed them tightly, as if he was afraid that the glasses would accidentally fall off.
"Oh. So you are still here. " Xing Fei, who had been acting as a light bulb, finally spoke. Judy shifted her gaze to Xing Fei, and said with a smile, "Whether it is strange creatures, insects, or other strange things, or even dead people who come back to life, as long as the sun rises, they will disappear. There are no exceptions."
At night.
Strange things.
Green Festival.
Irin quickly organized the clues from Judy's mouth.
The feeling this town gave Yi Lin was getting stranger and stranger.
Of course, this kind of strangeness, in the inner world's trials, had become a daily occurrence.
A place that was not strange would not be a place where the apostles would descend and undergo a cruel trial that would determine life and death.
In the end.
Irin knocked on the side for a while. Judy was a normal citizen, so her knowledge was limited, and they were unable to dig out more information about Green Festival.
At this time.
Irin asked another thing, "Judy, do you know, in this town, who is called 'Green'?"
Xing Fei heard and immediately sat up straight.
He should have asked this question long ago!
He almost could not wait to know the answer.
But.
Was it really that simple?
"There is."
Out of Xing Fei's expectations, Judy thought for a while and decisively nodded.
"Who?"
"The town's television host, I think … he is called Green."
Irin suddenly remembered the program that flashed on the old television last night.
"Is it the host with weird facial features and a big mouth?"
"Yes, it is him!"
Irin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
Could it be that the host called Green was the mission target?
Even a normal housewife knew about the target … was it that easy?
Xing Fei was indeed a spiritual-type apostle, and he instantly noticed the strangeness.
The two secretly communicated and decided not to delay any longer. They would first go to the television station to find out more about the host called "Green".
No matter if it was the main mission target or not, they could not let it go.
Before they left.
Irin righteously rejected Judy's invitation, saying that he wanted to sit down for a while and have a good chat.
But he thought that Judy might be of use in the trial, so he threw out a stack of money, saying that he would stay here for a few days and not to worry.
Judy saw the stack of money and instantly smiled, expressing that she was very tolerant.
Irin passed by the door of Judy's house, and suddenly his gaze froze.
There was a paper basket by the door.
In the paper basket, there was a ball of paper that was forcefully rolled into a ball.
Of course.
The paper was not the main point.
The reason why Yi Lin suddenly stopped in his tracks was because he saw a faint wisp of black Qi surrounding the paper ball.
— — [Resentment].
It was very faint, very faint, almost undetectable.
But because Irin had just unlocked a new ability, he was very sensitive to this kind of strange black gas, so it fell into his eyes at a glance.
He bent down and picked up the ball of paper from the paper basket, smoothed it out carefully, and spread it out.
It was a piece of paper that was torn in half and rolled into a ball.
The drawing paper looked like a child's doodle, randomly filling the paper.
In the dark blue background, countless small dots were forcefully made with yellow crayons.
Xing Fei also came over.
He did not understand.
'What the hell is this drawing?'
Abstract school?
Stream of consciousness?
Beast school?
Logically speaking, without more than ten years of painting skills or ten years of brain thrombosis, one would not be able to imagine this kind of drawing.
"Starry sky?"
Xing Fei was speechless. "How can you tell that this is a starry sky? Hurry up and find 'Green'. Don't forget, there are still the three of them. Even if they are not the mission target, this might be an important clue. Everyone in this town knows the host, so it should not be difficult to find out. If we are late, the clue might be lost. "
Irin's expression was indifferent. He nodded, but quietly put the paper away.
He thought of the story that Judy had told him, and with a simple imagination, he guessed who the owner of this drawing was.
But now was not the time to ask in detail.
After all, Xing Fei was right. The host called 'Green' might be a key person related to the main mission.
"Oh right, Judy, when does the tourist line that usually comes to town come?"
"Tourist line?" Unexpectedly, Judy heard this and was dumbfounded. "How can there be a tourist line in our town?"
Xing Fei's expression changed slightly, and he felt a chill down his spine.
"Let's go."
Irin already had a preliminary idea in his mind.
He did not delay any longer, and fully displayed the speed of an "agile" apostle, quickly leaving Judy Hotel.
"Hey! You should take care of a spiritual-type apostle! "
Xing Fei had obtained a lot of information from Judy, and before he had time to digest and be shocked, he followed closely behind Irin, afraid that he would be left behind.
About twenty minutes later.
They arrived in front of an old style television station.
