Another Life: Elf Archer

China.

Along with the beautiful scenery of the Flower Festival, a new event nicknamed "Detective Exorcist" by players has been launched vigorously in various towns in the game.

The original incident originated from a lantern festival in Chang'an one night.An old man selling hydrangea lamps suddenly went crazy and caused a large-scale bloodshed.A passing Yunji Sword Sect elder helped the officer calm down the incident and subdue the cause of the incident. In full view of the crowd, he pulled out a ball of ferocious and roaring black energy from the old man's body.

At this point, the incidents of demons possessing people and causing various murders are increasing day by day. Various sects have called on their disciples to eliminate demons and defend the way, allowing the vast number of players to plunge into the infinite ocean of war.

The possessed people had no obvious characteristics in appearance, and seemed to be no different from ordinary people before and after the incident. The players finally figured out some tricks after doing some useless work.

First, the crime scene must be explored to confirm the cause and order of death.Because occasionally there is the possibility of non-demon committing crimes, such as seeking revenge in the name of the demons, bandits and demons killing people and robbing wealth, etc.The cause of death and order of death also allow players to confirm whether the possessed person was also killed and whether there is any pattern in the selection of possessed targets.

Secondly, visit the surrounding environment of the murder scene, such as asking the neighbors if they noticed anything unusual, when they started to feel there was a problem, if they saw any suspicious people at the time of the murder, etc.

Finally, communicate more with the people, further narrow the scope of the investigation and nip problems in the bud, and strive to uncover the real culprit as soon as possible and obtain mission rewards.

Players who like to use their brains find this activity excellent, and players who don't like to use their brains also find it great.The emergence of the demon clan has made the demon clan ready to move. Places like the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains that players have plowed into a paradise are finally filled with all kinds of little demons. It is as gratifying as a barren wasteland being filled with fertilizer.

Players who didn't like to use their brains in Xingtianxia were basically taken away by the president. Players who liked to use their brains were actively chasing the prisoners while staying behind, and at the same time compiled some preliminary speculations.

When I sent him the letter, Vice President Zang Jiu was reading this simple guide, and beside him stood Liu Ji, who was waiting for praise.

Zangjiu whistled and sent the guide to the president who was thousands of miles away. He conveyed the president's verbal praise with a smile on his face, and he and Liu Ji formed a new two-person detective team to continue to pursue the traces of the demons. I'm not sure if their progress here can help the people in the caravan.

Earlier, when the six players were resurrected and returned to the guild territory, Zangjiu was also shocked, but what surprised him even more was a certain piece of gossip that these people were talking about.

Zang Jiu put his hand on Liu Ji's shoulder and decided to suppress the news for the time being. He also wanted to remind the six players to be stricter and not to gossip about the president.

I didn't expect that the president would be able to pick up a little sister when he went out, and she was a very powerful little sister.Zang Jiu thought of the Knights of the Rose who had disappeared recently, and the worries that had been hidden in his heart felt a little calmer.

"For the time being, it seems that demons will only possess NPCs, so the scope of our investigation is very small." Shi Sui initiated a mobilization meeting.

"Should the guards at Songqing also pay attention?" Sanchishui raised his hand.

"Yeah, but the person I met before was from the Qilin Army. There was a letter from Zangjiu saying that unless the host dies, the demons cannot transfer during the incubation period, so we will focus on investigating the Qilin Army for the time being." Shisui explained. road.

"There are only 300 of us now, the number of NPCs is more than twice ours, and the demons are a new enemy type. It is better for everyone to play it safe."

"Did Zangjiu tell you how to identify demons?" Sanchishui asked. Everyone raised their ears and waited for the president's answer.

"It's not visible on the outside, but there will be some changes in the personality. Maybe it's contrary to nature, maybe a certain aspect of the personality is amplified, or maybe there's no obvious change."

The participants looked at each other in confusion. This is both "maybe" and "possible". If you say it, it means you haven't said it yet.

I am also very helpless.The exorcism business is still in the early stages of exploration. There are a considerable number of other actual cases in China that can be analyzed. Although their place is huge, it is no different from a confined space, and there is even less effective information that can be obtained and applied. .

"Then we are going to talk to the soldiers," someone asked.

"Let's just arrest all the suspects." Someone glanced at the soldiers impatiently.

"Get rid of"

"Yes, since the problem itself is difficult to solve, then we should solve the people who may cause the problem. This thing will only spread among NPCs anyway."

The suggestions of these people received some sporadic responses, and more people were watching Shi Sui carefully.

"Makes sense."

A figure emerged from behind Shi Sui and gave a thumbs up to the players in Xingtianxia.

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem." Nian Nian squinted and nodded at the three players, playing with the silver-brown short bow in his left hand.

The expressions of the three people changed and they fell silent.

"How about that cold brew tea after you're full?" She was celebrating New Year's Eve, she straightened her cloak and tied a delicate bow on her neckline.

"It tastes good, is there any more?" Nian Nian stood obediently, but kept glancing to the side.

"Also, I asked Sanchishui to bring it to you." Shi Sui waved his hand, and Sanchishui began to move.

"As you command, my president." Sanchishui held out the bamboo tube, Nian Nian took it with a smile and made a face at Sanchishui.

"The caravan continues to move forward. First, the three generals Zheng Qi will count the soldiers' information and do a preliminary investigation. We just need to be more vigilant. Those soldiers incited by the demons cannot be blessed by military orders. Their attack power is considerable but they are unorganized. We have something There shouldn’t be any problems if you’re prepared.”

The small incident in the middle was ignored by everyone, and the three people who had been threatened every year consciously hid behind the team.

The caravan on the road again changed its queue. The Xingtianxia players who were originally sandwiched between the Qilin Army and the Envoy Guard were placed at the end, keeping a distance of about 20 meters from the NPCs.

After Song Qing came online, he and Shi Sui murmured for a long time, then gave up the command with a wave of his hand, merged the envoy guards into the Qilin Army, and returned to his identity as the vice president of Xingtianxia.

Qi Youfeng watched coldly, being trapped by Nian Nian, so he considerately helped Zheng Qi and the others to screen, so as not to embarrass Nian Nian.

When he found Zheng Qi and the other three, they were all serious.

"You all saw the scene just now." Qi Youfeng got straight to the point.

"Well, we have been mentally prepared." Zheng Qi nodded.Mu Shi looked at the soldier roster and crossed out the names of the soldiers who had died in battle.Wu Jian was talking to a soldier, seemingly confirming the man's credibility.

Shi Sui may not agree with the proposal of those three people, but he certainly doesn't object to it either.

You shouldn't want to use up all the NPC soldiers and leave only three bare commanders, but you won't mind helping them reduce their numbers to make these people more controllable.

"Let me help too." Qi Youfeng took the roster of the envoy's guard and browsed it from the beginning.

"If you hang out with us, you won't be afraid of being accidentally hurt." Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows.For example, the next time the demons cause chaos, they may be accidentally injured by the players who clean up the monsters.

"My thighs are held well, I'm not afraid of anything," Qi Youfeng replied with a smile.This is a saying that has quietly emerged among the Xingtianxia player community. It sounds like it is mocking him, but he feels that those players may be making a fool of themselves.

Zheng Qi shrugged and glared at Wu Jian.Wu Jian had no expression on his face and led a group of soldiers to appease the soldiers' morale.

Zheng Qi, Mu Shi and Qi Youfeng were all busy, but they couldn't find the abnormal creature lurking among the soldiers.

The Qilin Army moved forward as a team, quickly passing through the morning and sunset of the new day. They no longer cared about the players in Xingtianxia, ​​and only occasionally sent people to see if those players were left behind.

The messenger reported back again and conveyed Shi Sui's request to slow down.

"Tsk, tsk, he probably wants to tell that monster to jump out and cause trouble." Zheng Qi complained, waving away the messenger and pretending that he didn't hear anything.

The supplies for the camel caravan were all shouldered by the soldiers of the Qilin Army. Since the players in Xingtianxia were too lazy to share the burden, they could only try their best to follow the footsteps of these soldiers.

Half a minute later, just as Zheng Qi had calmed down, there was a sudden noise from behind the team.

Zheng Qi immediately ordered the entire army to stay put. Mu Shi, who was guarding the squadron, sent a message saying that it was safe. Wu Jian, who stayed at the rear of the squadron to hold down the formation, did not send any news.

"The front team changes to the back team, and everyone prepares to defend."

After giving the order, Zheng Qi hurried to the end of the team, only to see Wu Jian and Qi Youfeng watching the show leisurely.

Zheng Qi took a closer look and was happy.

"Is this what I deserve?" Zheng Qi gloated.

The noise came from Xingtianxia's team, but also from the horse bandits and wolves that surrounded them.

There are not many horse bandits, only more than 200 people, but the wolves driven by these people also have more than 200 people, and they are being approached by the players who are commanding to gather from behind.

Xing Tianxia's team had already unknowingly opened a distance of more than 100 meters from the front team of NPC soldiers. Fortunately, it was a flat wilderness here, and they could see the direction clearly even 800 meters away, so they didn't get lost along the way.

"Don't we need to go over and help?" Mu Shi also walked over and asked with a frown.

"No, no, if the little devil here is provoked by this scene and jumps out to cause trouble, wouldn't it make these players worse? We can't be so wicked." Zheng Qi said seriously.

Wu Jian and Qi Youfeng nodded, looking expectantly at the dark soldiers behind them.

"Anyway, there's a golden thigh over there, everything will be fine."

Zheng Qi once again ordered the entire army to be on alert.Although he also looks forward to causing trouble for Shi Sui, he has to bear the consequences of the trouble himself, so he should just watch the show calmly.

"You don't have to be a hero to save the beauty." Zheng Qi poked Qi Youfeng.Seeing Xing Tianxia's misfortune, Zheng Qi was inexplicably happy and a little lively.

"Then I will most likely need to be rescued by a hero." Qi Youfeng shook his head.He was fighting in close combat, and it was a dark and windy month, so a knife or a hand might not come out of nowhere and accidentally injure him.

"That's okay, don't let go of any chance of contact," Zheng Qi encouraged.

"How about you, do you want to restore your image in the girl's mind?" Zheng Qi began to harass Wu Jian again.

"If you want to make Shi Sui angry, you can go catch his sister yourself." Wu Jian looked steadily.

"Forget it, friends' wives should not be bullied." Zheng Qi smiled at Qi Youfeng and expressed that he had no such intention.

"We can't really just watch," Mu Shi waved his hand, the military order glowing in his hand, "Let people surround both sides. At worst, go farther away."

"Tsk, tsk, people should not be judged by their appearance." Zheng Qi praised, commanding the soldiers to outflank the horse bandits from the left and right wings, seemingly going to attack the horse bandits.

"Everyone, please stay calm, we are mainly responsible for defense." Mu Shi emphasized. The soldiers on both sides took out their shields. The shields faced the players of Xingtianxia and slowly approached the horse bandit team.

"Soldiers are deceitful." Qi Youfeng sighed.

"What is that?" Wu Jian suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distant horizon.

Under the moonlight, a silver-white light strip came rapidly from the horizon, a huge light shield rose, dazzling golden light flashed, and the fiery red beast jumped into the air.

The wind whistled. Wu Jian retracted his arm and spread his palm. A thin green leaf lay quietly in his palm. The white frost on the leaf melted instantly and accumulated into a small pool of cool water.

The four of them looked up, and saw a blizzard filled with the fragrance of early spring.
