Whether it was his human teammates or his dog teammates, they were all still in Lub Town and had not left.
Why was Irin so sure?
Because when Yi Lin arrived at the city gate of Rab Town, he noticed a dog with snow white fur that was resting on the side of the city wall with one leg over the other while biting on a stalk of grass at the side of its mouth. Its expression was happy and complacent, and it was extremely smug.
Take note, the grass here was really an ordinary plant that could be seen everywhere by the roadside.
In short, the dog was there.
In order to avoid exposing the existence of his "divine sword" and "mount", Irin had already put them away before he arrived at Lub Town. He pretended to be an ordinary, novice assassin.
"Woof!"
The dog was indeed a real dog. He had already smelled Irin from afar. He suddenly opened his dog eyes. His green eyes shone brightly as he looked at Irin.
The guards who were standing guard at the gate of Lub Town thought it was strange.
This dog had been lying here for two days and looked very pretentious. At first, they thought it was strange, but gradually, they got used to this strange style.
What was wrong with this dog today? Why did he suddenly reveal such a fawning smile?
And it was barking so happily?
Did it see a female dog?
But no one in Lub Town had a dog.
Yi Lin lowered his head. He activated Shadow Pursuit without batting an eyelid and met up with Sun Qi silently.
The guards' attention was attracted by the dog. For a while, they did not notice that there was a small transparent Irin floating by.
About half an hour later.
Outside Lub Town.
On a small hill five miles away.
Irin heaved a sigh of relief and said to the others, "Fortunately, you did not enter the town."
Other than the dog, Xiao Chuer, Ning You, and Li Erpang were all around the bonfire, cooking snake soup.
When Second Fatty Li saw that Yi Lin had finally returned to Lub Town, he was both surprised and astonished. He gulped down large mouthfuls of soup, panting as he shouted that it was hot, "Slurp … Tsk, you brat actually escaped? Awesome! I f * cking thought that you were caught and interrogated, and that you would give us up. "
Irin shook his head and smiled. "That's not necessary. This is just a game. The worst that can happen is that you'll be beaten to death in a turn-based game. There's no need to torture me."
"F * ck! Then I'd rather be interrogated by Fat Lord! Isn't Sister Prison nice enough? "
Xiao Chuer, "…"
Ning You: "…"
Li Erpang ignored the disdainful looks on the couple's faces. He gulped down the snake soup and complained, "You don't know, the monsters around here are too low level! In order to fill my stomach, I, Fat Lord, almost brushed the Flaming Flying Snake bald! However, hehe, it's also because of this that I, Fat Lord, accidentally completed a hidden achievement, and it's the only one! "
"Oh?"
Irin was curious.
Ning You and Xiao Chuer covered their faces speechlessly and moved a few steps away.
Li Erpang's finger swiped down. He was as ferocious as a tiger, and his [Title] was revealed.
— — [Don't Bully Kids]
Irin, "…"
He suddenly understood the origin of this hidden achievement and title. His imagination was enough to fill in the gaps.
After thinking about it, Irin decided not to show [Tauren Killer].
Irin also swiped his finger down and set [Title] to "visible to everyone".
— — [Kind Assassin].
"F * ck?" Li Erpang suddenly widened his eyes.
His squinted eyes looked like a slightly opened scallop.
"Now, let's talk business."
After Irin showed his title, he didn't show off anything. He really didn't show off anything. He summarized the current situation in a concise manner.
After Ning You heard it, his expression froze and he whispered, "Sure enough …"
Xiao Chuer helplessly pulled out her whip and gently nudged Ning You with her elbow. She said, "It's not strange. The other party seems to be a 'player' too. We're not the only players trapped in this' Uranus' game world. The players' thinking is more flexible than the NPCs. It's not strange that they can guess that we're running here. "
Li Erpang raised his head from time to time and glanced at the shining [Title] above Irin's head … He wasn't envious. As he looked, he coughed twice and used his remaining IQ to analyze the information given by Irin.
After pretending to analyze for a while, Li Erpang saw that no one else said anything, so he couldn't help but say, "Then … should we continue to run?"
Ning You held back his laughter and gave Li Erpang a thumbs up. "Second Brother … you're quick-witted. You're right."
Li Erpang curled his lips and said modestly, "Of course, of course."
Irin said softly, "Of course we have to run, but the map we bought from the grocery store only shows the 'Rab Basin', 'Moonlight Forest', 'Endless Swamp', and 'Isita Port.' The other areas are all covered in fog."
As Irin spoke, he took out the map from his [Item] and spread it in front of his teammates. He pointed at the upper left corner, which was the northwest direction of the 'Gaia Continent'. He continued, "In these foggy areas, there should be unexplored leveling areas. There might even be large cities. "
Ning You and Xiao Chuer nodded silently.
But unexpectedly, right after Irin finished speaking, he quickly shook his head and chuckled. "But the 'player' who stood against the 'Hero' for no reason will definitely think the same."
Ning You's eyes lit up. "Brother Irin, you mean …"
Xiao Chuer held her delicate chin with one hand and nodded. "Yes, that makes sense. It's like we predicted the other party's prediction. Since we roughly know the other party's thoughts, we might as well use this to our advantage. Our levels are still too low. If this is a 'plot' that we must experience in the game, there must be a way to escape from here. It's a good game, so it's impossible to set up an unsolvable plot of villains to torment the players. "
Speaking of this, Xiao Chuer raised her eyes and glanced at Yi Lin without a trace.
But her ambiguous gaze quickly moved away from Irin and looked at Ning You, as if she wanted to confirm Ning You's thoughts.
Ning You nodded lightly and did not say anything.
…
Do you really think I'm blind?
Can eye contact be so obvious?
Irin lowered his head, but he clearly saw the small movements of Ning You and Xiao Chuer.
Irin, Ning You, and Xiao Chuer each had their own thoughts.
Li Erpang listened for a long time, but he felt lonely. Although he understood every word, when they were connected together, he felt as if these three guys were talking about a book from heaven. He did not even understand a single punctuation. At this time, he finally could not help but ask, "Wait, what are you guys talking about? What was it that predicted his prediction? Can you speak human language? You guys are making me, Fat Lord, have the illusion that my IQ is lower than yours by a little! "
No one paid attention to Li Erpang's teammates.
No one kindly told him to be more confident.
Although everyone was talking about this with a smile on their faces.
But the serious situation was clear in everyone's heart.
Ning You and Xiao Chuer were used to the years of life and death in the trial.
And Li Erpang, Irin, Wang Tiandi, and the dog, for some reason, even if they knew that there was a team of "City-destroying" armed airships chasing after them, it was difficult for them to be nervous on the surface.
It was as if they were used to this kind of rhythm.
No one could understand Wang Tiandi's dog language.
It was also used to it, so it simply did not participate in the discussion.
Irin, Ning You, and Xiao Chuer quickly used words that Li Erpang could not understand to discuss the next step of the plan.
It was said to be a discussion, but before the discussion, Irin already had her own ideas.
…
…
In Rab Town.
In the church's small branch.
The old priest stared at the empty hole on the wall and silently shed tears.
There was originally a bright crystal wall there.
Originally, when sunlight passed through the crystal wall, it would refract seven-colored rays of light, making the goddess statue look brilliant and full of multicolored light. It was very beautiful, moving, and noble.
But now, there was nothing left. Nothing.
"Damned Thief!"
The old priest gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.
He subconsciously took out the thick prayer book and began to pray habitually.
But just as he took it out, the old priest saw the hole left behind by the crystal on the cover. His vision turned black, and a wave of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and nausea suddenly surged. He was so angry that he almost bled.
"That damned, evil, shameless, despicable thief! May Uranus curse you. "
Just as the old priest was cursing.
His hunched body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly took out an item from his robe.
It was the [Communication Crystal].
This was the only, only, and last piece of crystal in this small church.
Although this crystal did not have any other use other than communication.
It seemed that this thing seemed to be something that everyone in the game had.
Not only did the players have it, but the NPCs also had it. It was extremely fair.
The old priest held the crystal.
The communication crystal glowed faintly, and a handsome face condensed in the glimmering light.
"Where are they?"
"Your Majesty the Pope!" The hatred on the old priest's face was swept away. He straightened his face and quickly answered, not daring to delay for a moment. "Your Majesty the Pope, those 'demons' have not appeared in the town yet. However, that demon's pet seems to be wandering around Rab Town. I think it won't be long before they … "
"Uranus above." Pope Dige smiled slightly. His smile was warm, like the bright stars, dazzling and eye-catching.
"They are the 'root cause' of the world's chaos. They are dirtier than the demons everywhere, and more deserving of death. Only by killing them can this world be saved. However, among those 'demons and dogs,' there is one called 'Irin.' No matter what, his life must be kept. "
"Your Majesty the Pope, this is …"
Hearing this, the old priest was puzzled.
"I have my own plans."
In the communication crystal, Pope Dige slowly closed his eyes, looking very pretentious.
"Heh."
No one noticed that two blood-red, translucent daggers had silently appeared behind the old priest.
[Poisoned Dagger]!
“？”
The old priest, who was respectfully reporting to Pope Dige, was suddenly stunned.
He did not understand, and his head turned green.
【-2】
【-3】
【-4】
…
[Shadow Following]!
[Shadow Execution]!
[Focus]!
[Two Blade Fighting]!
[Poison Assassination]!
[Backstab of Justice]!
[Shadow Breaking Strike]!
Irin skillfully performed the combo that he had practiced countless times.
A large number floated above the old priest's head.
The old priest did not even have time to make a sound before he fell straight to the ground.
Irin was still habitually throwing out another wave of poisoned daggers, ready to follow up with the next combo. He did not expect the kill notification to appear in front of him.
Ah?
That's it?
Am I too strong, or is this enemy NPC too weak?
It doesn't make sense!
If this goes on, other players will mistake me for cheating!
By the way …
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the 'Reputation' system!]
[Uranus Vatican Reputation -500!]
[Current Reputation Level with the Vatican of Uranus is Cold.]
[Please keep up the good work.]
“？”
Irin felt that there was something wrong with the system notification.
But now was not the time for something to be wrong.
Irin bent down and picked up the communication crystal that was still "in contact."
In the crystal.
The flamboyant Pope Dige still had his eyes closed. His expression was lonely, aloof, and cold.
"Uranus above."
"This is God's will …"
Irin coughed twice and interrupted the flamboyant's words.
“Excuseme。”
"I heard that you are looking for me?"
Irin smiled kindly.
Pope Dige, who was admiring himself … or rather, pretending to be cool alone, suddenly opened his eyes.
Through the communication crystal, the two looked at each other silently.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Pope Dige's expression did not change as Irin imagined.
He saw this face again.
This face that Irin felt vaguely familiar.
And a face that deserved a beating.
He did not know if it was an illusion.
Irin felt that … he seemed to have slapped this face hard at some time, somewhere.
Three seconds later.
Irin's smile gradually faded and he frowned.
Pope Dige smiled instead. That smile was as bright as the sun in July.
"Irin?"
"Yes."
"It's really you."
"Oh?"
One question, one answer.
The "two players" who were conversing through the air fell silent again.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Irin originally thought that he had the upper hand in terms of aura.
But for some reason, when the other party said his name first, it made this aura advantage silently disappear.
This feeling made Irin feel very uncomfortable.
He was sure that this player, who was stepped on by Irin and called "Pope Dige" by the old priest, definitely knew him.
But Irin did not know him.
Or rather, he used to know him, but he forgot.
Friend?
Enemy?
Or was it another more complicated relationship?
Irin always felt that Pope Dige's gaze was extremely complicated. It contained a wealth of emotions, but he used something called "acting" to hide them all. The turbulent emotions were hidden in the depths of his eyes. He could not see through them. It made Irin feel a little unhappy.
After a moment of silence.
Pope Dige chuckled.
It was as warm as the boy next door.
But the next second.
That warm smile suddenly became extremely distorted. Pope Dige's brows also became ferocious, and ugly crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Pope Dige suddenly clenched his teeth tightly.
Between his teeth, blood squeezed out with a hiss.
It seemed that the other party was a little angry.
Dige: "How did you survive?"
Irin: "?"
Dige: "I clearly saw with my own eyes … Bzzt bzzt bzzt —"
Suddenly.
Just as Pope Dige on the other side of the communication crystal was about to say something, the image in the communication crystal suddenly distorted. A large piece of snowflakes appeared, and there was also a burst of strange noise.
"Bzzt bzzt bzzt —"
Irin couldn't hear what was said on the other side.
It looked like the signal was simply bad.
But … this was clearly a communication crystal, not a phone in the real world. How could the signal be bad?
So ridiculous?
Irin was puzzled, but he still chose to wait and see. He did not say anything.
Among the snowflakes, Irin could vaguely see that Pope Dige's expression was painful. Cold sweat was dripping, as if something had happened. It gave Irin the feeling that the other party was squatting in a pit and suddenly had a hemorrhoid attack. Not only was it painful, but it was also bleeding. It was so uncomfortable that he could not say a word.
"Bzzt bzzt bzzt —"
In the noisy and chaotic communication crystal image, a few strange "chrysanthemums" suddenly burst out.
Note that the "chrysanthemums" mentioned above were really chrysanthemums in the ordinary sense.
Irin looked at the chrysanthemums that flashed across the crystal image, and he felt that something was wrong.
Finally.
A minute later.
The image and sound of the communication crystal returned to normal.
Pope Dige's face was pale, as if he was seriously ill. But he laughed loudly. "Prohibited matters … prohibited matters … so that's it, that's it! Hahaha — "
The other party's fright, cry, and laughter made Irin feel as if the two high-end players were not talking on the same channel.
But although Irin could not understand a word of the other party, he had a faint feeling that he was about to grasp something.
This feeling was indescribable, inexplicable, and indescribable.
After thinking for a while, Irin decided to go according to his plan.
He ignored the other party's words.
"We're all players. Why should we kill each other?"
Irin said with a smile.
"Yes, why should we kill each other so quickly?"
A smile appeared on Pope Dige's pale face.
Irin smiled again and said, "We're planning to go west. I don't think you'll be so coincidental as to pass by on an airship, right?"
"I remember that someone once said that you can't believe a single punctuation mark in your words."
"It's up to you to believe it or not."
"Like hell I'll believe you."
"Then, goodbye."
Irin raised his dagger and prepared to shatter the crystal.
But on second thought, this [Communication Crystal] could be sold for a lot of money at half price back to the shop. So Irin quickly dismissed the idea of shattering the crystal. He would save as much money as he could.
Before Yi Lin put away the communication crystal into [Item], Pope Dige suddenly chuckled in a low voice. His expression was sinister as he said something.
…
"I just want to 'go back' alive."
…
Click.
That was the end.
After Irin put away the crystal, for a while, his thoughts were filled with that flashy face.
Whether it was the other party's attitude or the other party's words, they all made Yi Lin feel baffled.
The only thing Irin could be sure of now was that the other party was definitely a "player." There was no doubt about it.
"From his tone, he must know me in the real world."
"No wonder this guy looked familiar."
"Looks like we don't have a good relationship."
This bitter and deep hatred. So there was a grudge?
But was there a need to be like this in a mere game?
What grudge? What hatred?
Go back?
Irin smiled.
Who didn't want to go back?
No one wanted to go back.
The only reason why Yi Lin was so excited to play this game was because she wanted to return to the real world and recover her memories.
This was his most important and only "main mission" in this game world.
Irin casually searched the old priest's corpse and the surroundings.
He didn't find anything.
This was not surprising.
After all, before this, Irin had already taken away everything that looked valuable in this church.
The old priest was not a demon, so he wouldn't have dropped any materials.
Even if he could, Irin wouldn't want it.
Just in case, Irin used his fastest speed to search around the statue of the Goddess.
Last time, because he left in a hurry, Irin didn't search for the statue of the Goddess.
"This is' Uranus'?"
Irin and the statue of the Goddess silently looked at each other. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
"As expected, 'Blood of the Saint,' even if it's incomplete, such a precious item can't be obtained so easily. In Isita Port, if it wasn't for that incident, it wouldn't be so easy to sneak into the Holy See's branch and steal the 'Blood of the Saint.' "
…
Irin dragged the old priest's corpse to a corner and hid it.
Since it was convenient, it wouldn't take much time. Maybe this unintentional action could delay the guards from discovering the old priest's corpse.
After leaving the church, Irin went straight to the blacksmith's shop.
It was still morning, and the sun had just risen from the west.
The blacksmith's shop was still open for business.
Irin came to the front of the blacksmith's shop and found that the door was ajar. There was no smoke coming out of the chimney, which was a bit abnormal.
After pushing the door open and entering, the temperature inside was unusually cool.
Actually, the temperature inside was normal.
It was just that every time Irin came, the blacksmith with a face full of stories would always be shirtless, swinging a big iron hammer and making the inside of the blacksmith's shop hot. It made Yi Lin have a kind of habitual thinking that equated "hot" with "blacksmith shop". The sudden return of the temperature to normal made Irin a bit unaccustomed.
"You're here."
Blacksmith Glang raised his head in the dark.
With the light from the door open, Irin saw the scenery inside the room. Blacksmith Glang sat in the corner, drinking wine with his head down. His turbid eyes were bloodshot.
Irin also felt that the resolution of this game was a bit outrageous, so detailed expressions could be distinguished clearly.
Hearing Blacksmith Glang's line that seemed to be pretentious, Irin was used to it and didn't feel surprised.
This time, he casually followed up.
"You knew I would come?"
"Let's go."
Blacksmith Glang stood up in the dark, silently carrying the iron hammer on his back. He walked past Irin and out of the door.
Irin was stunned.
"Where are we going?"
"The port."
Perhaps Blacksmith Glang's lines and actions were too natural, so Irin couldn't help but follow behind Blacksmith Glang and walk out of the blacksmith's shop. Blacksmith Glang took out a small wooden sign from nowhere, slammed the door shut, and hung the small wooden sign on the door nail that was nailed in advance.
— — [The shop owner is pregnant, indefinitely closed.]
Irin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood and said, "You know what happened at Isita Port? You also know that I came to you for help? "
Just as Yi Lin asked this question, Ye Zichen's expression changed.
He suddenly heard a familiar and pleasant sound in his ear.
"Ding!"
Sure enough, it was a ding.
Should it be said that at such a critical time, it should be a ding?
"…"
[Main mission has been updated!]
[Current Main Mission: The Hero's Mission.]
[Current Mission Objective: Find the source of the apocalyptic crisis.]
[Mission Difficulty: A +]
[Mission Time Limit: None.]
[Mission Reward: 12000 G; EXP + 18000.]
The main mission was updated.
In Isita Port, after Priest Gill inexplicably became an enemy NPC, in Irin's original main mission [The Hero's Mission], there was a big "X" next to the mission objective of "Find and meet Priest Gill". With the update of the mission, in the follow-up of the main mission, there was another mission objective that Irin couldn't understand.
Find the source of the apocalyptic crisis?
The objective of this mission made him feel empty.
Blacksmith Glang was still shirtless, carrying a hammer.
This hammer was full of big and small potholes. But the broad back of Blacksmith Glang in front of him had distinct muscles, looking as solid as a rock and full of power. The hammer on the blacksmith's back, no matter how broken it looked, seemed to be a few levels higher than Li Erpang's small hammer.
This NPC was not simple.
In fact, when Blacksmith Glang announced that he was looking for the precious item "Blood of the Holy Saints", Irin felt that Blacksmith Glang was not as simple as a novice village NPC.
After all, his lines were too pretentious.
He was indeed the key to triggering the follow-up main mission.
The two of them walked in front and behind without alerting anyone.
Blacksmith Glang walked in front with his head lowered, as if he had no intention of explaining to Irin.
The attitude of Blacksmith Glang when facing him always gave Irin the illusion that he was being targeted by an NPC.
The two of them were about to walk out of Rab Town. When they passed by the guards, Irin deliberately activated [Pursuing Shadow] and walked past the guards like a passer-by.
After Irin activated his talent skill, Blacksmith Glang seemed to have noticed something. He turned around to look at Irin, but he remained silent and quickly looked away.
The old priest's body had not been discovered by the guards.
Irin did not have the heart to kill the chickens in the city, so the guards did not notice Irin's presence and did not stop him.
The two of them successfully walked out of Rab Town.
After walking for a distance, Irin kindly reminded him, "Port Isita has been destroyed."
Blacksmith Glang sneered, "Who told you that the only port that can leave 'Gaia' is Port Isita?"
