Leading everyone to the deeper inner room to sit down, Yamamoto Shirako poured the tea again, not knowing how to speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But her hand holding the teacup was still trembling slightly, as if tormented by the fear of memory.

After a while, she spoke:

"Mr. An, you should have seen the screen of the main hall."

Although the two of them covered the flannel back, it was not the same as before, and it was normal for her to notice.

An Yizhi nodded:

"There is an overlap between the things drawn on the screen and some nursery rhymes"

"That's not a nursery rhyme"

Yamamoto Hakuko smiled bitterly and said:

"Those are the real histories that have happened in this land"

She put down the teacup, looked at the players with curious expressions, and said to Muyue, who was holding the invincible arm of the brave:

"This young lady, you should have nothing to do with this matter, please don't get involved anymore, otherwise your life will be in danger"

Mutsuki ignored the advice, she just buried her head in the arms of the brave invincible, which seemed to be her safest harbor.

"Muyue, you go back first, and I'll look for you when I'm done."

Only the invincible persuasion of the brave man made her react, and she said pitifully with big eyes: "I don't want to be separated from you"

This is not a question of whether you want to or not, how can they be matched together, a player and an NPC.

At this time, the brave invincible was stunned for a moment, as if he heard the system prompt, and then he didn't persuade Muyue, and turned his head to everyone:

"I'll protect her, it's okay"

The danger of this side quest is very high, and no one dares to guarantee anything. Maybe he is really confident, confident that he can bring an NPC with an oil bottle to clear the level.

Yamamoto Baizi saw that the two of them were resolute and didn't persuade them again, as for An Yizhi, it didn't matter, he still thought very badly in his heart that one more person could at least have one more meat shield.

"Please keep talking, Miss Host"

"Okay"

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

"I don't know what Lord Salas's body is, but it was thrown into the spring by an unknown monk hundreds of years ago, at first it was just to eat some fish and shrimp, and then when it grew up, the fish and shrimp could no longer satisfy his appetite, and then began to attack the villagers near the spring, and the captured villagers would become part of it, and a new hand would grow so it became stronger and stronger, and its appetite became more and more vigorous."

With that, she lifted the sleeve of her robe upwards to reveal her forearm, on which there was an ominous black mark like an engraving, and a stained palm print appeared in front of everyone.

"The former mayor of Ishen once wanted to solve this problem, and he filled in the swamp, but the power of Lord Salas was not comparable to manpower, and he only managed to shrink the swamp. Later, workers disappeared one after another, and the Ijin clan decided to use the Sinking Rite"

"Is that a ritual to throw dolls into the spring?"

"That's right, but it failed, at the last moment of the ritual I was afraid that the whole ritual would fall short, and the Ishen clan buried there to save me, and this scar is the trace left by the sinking ceremony."

Pulling the sleeves back up, Yamamoto Hakuko said:

"It's rumored that I'm the lover of the Ishen clan, in fact, I knew him when I was very young, and there was no such relationship between us, but it was more like the relationship between father and daughter, but because I didn't have blood and often met, I was misunderstood"

Yamamoto Hakuko showed a look of remorse and pain, and the scene in her memory haunted her like a nightmare:

"If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have disappeared and Ijin wouldn't have died."

The player looked at each other, no wonder she was reluctant to say that her relatives died tragically in front of her eyes and experienced great fear, so no one was willing to talk about this topic, and not becoming mentally ill already showed that Yamamoto Hakuko's psychological quality was good.

At this moment, the invincible phone rang.

"It's forensics, so I guess the test results are out."

He turned on the speakerphone, and soon a young man's voice came out of the phone.

"Senior, where did you find this sample? It's weird."

"What's so strange about it?"

"I should say that there is something not surprising, the composition of the sample is very complex, and it took me a long time to identify most of them, mainly water, protein, phosphorus, carbon...... To put it simply, it's like a drop of liquid people."

"People?"

"Yes, its composition is almost exactly the same as the composition of the human body, it's terrible, you haven't answered my question yet, senior"

An Yizhi gestured to the brave invincible, telling him to hang up the phone quickly.

"Don't ask, I'll treat you to the best wine when I get back"

"Again? Okay okay, I'm going to have a big meal."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"This is the reason for the so-called abundant seeds, and the spring water contains a lot of corpses, so the nearby land is not fertile."

Yamamoto Shirako was not surprised by this, she seemed to have known about it for a long time.

Yes, Ishen is a former mayor, so it shouldn't be difficult to get some spring water for testing.

"Wait, if the person captured by Lord Salas will become its hand, it's been a week, then Hazuki ......"

"I'm sorry, but according to the records circulating in the temple, those captured by Lord Salas will become part of Lord Salas within 10 days, this time is not fixed, and I can't be sure if Miss Hazuki is still alive."

No, she's definitely alive.

Unlike NPCs, the player has a more reliable source of information, which is the mission objective on the side quest, and it never prompts the quest update, which indicates that Hazuki is still alive at the moment, and there may be a way to rescue her.

"So if Hazuki is still alive, can he be rescued?"

"Hmmm......"

Hakuko Yamamoto thought about it for a moment:

"There is no precedent, but it should be possible, and we must take it away from Lord Salas before the transformation."

"That Lord Salas's side must not be so easy to leave......

The most difficult part of the entire side quest is also this, if it is when the force value is full, these players can also try to face the hard anus Lord Salas, as long as An Yizhi has the opportunity to release the gaze of the Dark Lord, even in the old days, he dared to drive a car. And now that they only have basic abilities, and none of the other skills, they have to consider a way to escape after rescuing Hazuki.

"What is the function of the Sinking Ceremony? Can it kill Lord Salas? ”

"No, it can't, I can't imagine anything killing it"

Yamamoto Hakuko looked frightened, these people went towards the goal of killing Lord Salas? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

If he could, Yasuchichi really wanted to see if Lord Salas would die if he was hit by a nuclear bomb, anyway, Japan had already exploded twice, so it didn't matter if he did it again...... Right?

Of course, this idea can only be imagined, and the player can only find the nuclear bomb to collapse the plot......

After a while, Hakuko Yamamoto regained her composure, and she said:

"The main purpose of the Sinking Ritual is to stop Lord Salas's hands from growing, and every time he catches someone, he won't let go, and that person will become two hands, and so on. The puppets cast during the Sinking Ritual will make it mistake it for a human, but the puppets will not become new hands, and as long as there are enough of them, and Lord Salas's hands are all occupied, it will no longer be able to catch people."

A typical way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but the other party is a completely unreasonable and unspeakable situation, and such a method is also helpless.

"What kind of sinking doll needs? Are there any special requirements? ”

"There are no special requirements, even if it is a human form cut out of paper, but each puppet will consume the power of the ceremonial host, and with my current ability, it is already the limit to be able to sink 18 at a time."

Expending power, meaning magic?

Among this group of people, An Yizhi's magic power is the highest, even if he only has an initial value, his mysterious power attribute is as high as 9.

"Can you teach me how to use this ritual?"

With his magic to preside over the ceremony, he should be able to sink more dolls.

"The Sinking Ceremony takes years of cultivation to preside, and Miss Hazuki can't wait that long"

Sure enough, it's not that easy, maybe the system thinks that sinking too many puppets at one time will reduce the difficulty too much, and An Yizhi's plan can only be disappointed.

Then he remembered the porcelain doll that the two brave and invincible had obtained in their respective side quests, and he asked them to take them out for Yamamoto Hakuko to see.

"These dolls contain magical powers, which can be used as a sinker ritual without draining my power"

In other words, these four are equivalent to additional power-ups that reduce difficulty.

"There's one thing I want to remind you of."

Yamamoto Hakuko said seriously:

"Please don't open your eyes after the start of the Sinking Ceremony until the end, and don't say anything like Lord Salas or Lord Salas, it's best to stay where you are and not move, otherwise the ceremony will fail and everyone will be in danger of being captured by Lord Salas."

Not being able to open your eyes and not moving, this is difficult for some strong people. If something happens, won't there even be a chance to run?

The players looked at An Yi with blank eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.

Yamamoto Hakuko is indeed an NPC who provides important information, but no one can say whether he has anything to do with Lord Salas.

If the other party's goal is to eliminate those who know about Salas' existence and find out about her, then there is a possibility that Salas's hand will destroy them all.

Besides, pinning his hopes on others is not Ahn Yizhi's style in the first place, he prefers to be active rather than passive.

After thinking in silence for a while, An Yizhi nodded and agreed.

No matter how unwilling they were, only Yamamoto Hakuko could use the Sinking Ceremony, and they didn't even know the exact location of Lord Salas, even if they wanted to, they couldn't do it alone.

"Well, please wait for me to get some preparations."

Hakuko Yamamoto left the room and went to find some dolls on paper.

"Brave, don't go with the grass"

"Why?"

"In order to prevent being served in a pot, if we don't come out, and Yamamoto Hakuko appears alone, you will take her down, torture her to extract a confession, and force her to tell the truth"

An Yizhi kept an eye on it, anyway, there is no limit to the number of people in the Sinking Hatchling Ceremony, if all this is really a trap, it is still possible to clear the customs by leaving the two of them, it is better than destroying them all.

At this time, the players and Yamamoto Shirako did not know that a series of their conversations were sent to the ears of another person by the eavesdropping device hidden in the room, and it was self-evident who that person was......
