Chapter 270 Just started, people have already crossed the line
[It's May Day, doubled.↖I wish you all a happy time! By the way... Remember to apply for the monthly ticket for the guaranteed minimum~~~]
Xiao Ling knelt solemnly and calmly.
This is the most critical moment, and you must not lose air. I just saved my life by chance. Whether I can stay in this town with obvious plot depends on this moment.
The conflict between black and white, cold and heat, justice and evil continues like this...
For dozens of seconds, the old priest showed a slightly surprised but satisfied expression on his face.
At the same time, system prompts popped up in the minds of duang and Xiao Ling.
Looking at the system prompts, the four of them were speechless: You are the master of cheating!
[Congratulations, you have successfully gained the trust of everyone in Clermont Town and completed the undercover infiltration mission! You have obtained 10 currencies in this world.]
[You have obtained 1000 experience points. You have obtained 333 Destiny Copper Coins.]
The latter is of course the basic value, because it continues to be the response led by Xiao Ling, or it is his x2.5, and others x1.5.
Of course, the important thing is not that there are so few rewards, but the sentence "completed the undercover infiltration mission". In other words, all the actions of everyone in order to save their lives and to avoid being suspected have become part of the undercover plan.
I thought it was a task to choose a camp, but it turned out to be just a foreplay of Infernal Affairs? This turning point was too fast and too urgent, which made people a little out of the way.
[The robbers' raid on Clermont Town was actually not a robbery. In fact, on the contrary, through this raid, they successfully left some "things" in the town. Your mission is to find them to collect them and prepare for the next action. Time limit, three days. It cannot be completed within three days. The mission failed.]
Everyone who had just won trust and thought they had temporarily safe hearts raised again...
This is the first time Xiao Ling has seen such a mission. The plot is flipped and the rhythm changes. Since entering, he has almost no chance of breathing.
Everyone completed their baptism ceremony in a slight dizziness. Cheers, applause, and hugs of brothers and sisters, just like the enthusiasm of the family...
When they completed a lengthy ceremony here, on the other hand, the townsmen's actions to clear the battlefield and clean up the mess were approaching the end.
All the injured were placed, including horses and hounds. The injured people from the town were concentrated in the injured camp. The captives of the robbers were held in prison.
All the victims were also or were about to be resettled. The remains of the townspeople were taken away by their families. The robbers left more than a dozen bodies, and ordinary robbers dug holes and buried them. The depraved heresy was strung into candied haws and hung at the intersection outside the town to show their shock.
The horses with the largest number of deaths are the key. Adults with skilled slaughtering animals in the town are collectively dispatched, peeling, bleeding, cutting flesh, and snatching bones... and disposing of the corpse as quickly as possible to avoid waste due to decay.
As time goes on, people who cleaned up the battlefield, counted losses, and placed injuries... completed the tasks at hand one after another, and all concentrated here to help.
Although all kinds of processing have been processed, thirty or forty dead horses, or seriously injured and dying, and rescuing horse corpses, still left a mountain of unprocessable parts.
What should I do with this part?
After making it, eat it, and eat as much as you can.
A large pot was set up in one mouthful of salt, seasonings, bay leaves, firewood... While singing a rhizome, people soothe the souls of the dead, and they were passionately devoted to the great cause of cooking.
Some people are sad, but more of them are happy. Because... in this conflict that should have become a disaster, they not only did not lose, but also made money. The robbers did steal a lot of things, but compared with the ones they left behind... they did a good job every day!
The villagers' spoils were not only dead, but also alive - the horses lost in the town due to the chaos of the battle. Afterwards, there were more than a dozen horses.
In the end, five horses gave the families of the victims, four horses gave Xiao Ling and several who were alerted in advance, and the rest returned to the town guards.
The villagers of such wind and rain have obviously experienced a lot, and everything has been handled in an orderly manner.
As the sky was getting late, looking at the rising bonfire, listening to the noise of joy or sorrow in the world, and smelling the fragrance of meat floating in the air, Xiao Ling and others responded to the greetings of the townspeople like checking household registration, while taking the opportunity to discuss.
Ling Wulin: "What should we do next?"
Li Tianxiao: "What else can I do? Follow the three clues given by the master, just find something?"
Wendi: "Finding things is second. I think the most important problem to solve now is that guy..." His eyes turned in one direction. There, NPC, who had shared hardships with them, was looking at the meat cooker with saliva dripping to his feet. Unlike the extraordinary people who entered this world halfway, he was a real prisoner, an indigenous person who was imprisoned in prison during this period and was obviously starved.
Wendi said gloomyly: "You said we are actually undercover affairs. Does he know? Will it be..."
The name of npc is Ethan. He seemed to notice the gaze here and greeted everyone with a smile on his face. It was entirely up to Xiao Ling to protect his life, at least on the surface.
He was baptized just now, not because he was not good at fighting, but because he was a true believer and had been baptized.
"Don't care, he definitely doesn't know." Xiao Ling said concisely as he looked at Ethan's expression.
"But the problem is that he doesn't know now, and may not know in the future... With the habit of dominating, it is impossible to complete the undercover mission so smoothly. There will definitely be twists and turns, and I think it is him who is most likely to have problems."
This makes sense. I didn't know it, but I couldn't resist the master wanting to know it; I didn't have any problem, but I couldn't resist the master wanting to have problems.
By killing this person one step ahead, you can kill this possibility in the bud. This is OK and is also a measure that senior students often use to pass the level.
But Xiao Ling still shook his head.
Wen Di was a little dissatisfied. When he was not yet Xiao Ling, he was usually the team's think tank. But today, he was behind Xiao Ling everywhere. He thought Xiao Ling was deliberately sing a counter-tune until Xiao Ling told the reason.
"We are King Liu in the Infernal Affairs now... Do you want to continue to be undercover? Or..." Xiao Ling did not finish speaking, but who are the extraordinary people, and they immediately understood.
Or kill everyone who knows their identities, just cleanse them up, and then no longer be controlled by others?
As soon as this proposal was released, everyone instantly understood the meaning of leaving Ethan. The master usually does not make those inexplicable settings and release inexplicable tasks. Everything that seems unreasonable is often for deep reasons.
This should be no exception in front of you.
So, what exactly is the reason why, even though the people who have clearly gained the trust of the townspeople and successfully received the baptism, should they still accept the orders of the undercover agent and continue the infernal Affairs?
For a time, everyone had only one reason - a handle. Ninety-one of them had the handle in the hands of the robbers and had to continue to accept the threat.
Ethan may be aware of the specific threat; even if he doesn't know, he should be able to find out more information about the robbers from him. If they want to counterattack the robbers as Xiao Ling suggested.
"Actually, we can contact the other side and ask them if they have gained anything from the robber's nest. Even if not, we can ask them to inquire about the cause and effect of the matter?" Wendi suggested.
"It's true." Xiao Ling nodded, "But... do you have a way to contact them remotely?"
The few people suddenly became silent. Several of them were from the same team, and there must be some contact methods, but... items, equipment, and consumable props were all blocked, leaving only skills, and the interconnection methods of skills are relatively high-end.
"Unless the distance is within one kilometer." Several people looked at each other. One kilometer was not close, but in such a large-scale roundabout battle between the enemy and us, it was not enough to see.
"I'll go and get close to that guy to see if I can ask something?" Ling Wulin clapped his hands and stood up. He had a friendship with that Ethan and protected him when the extraordinary man escaped from prison. Although he was afraid that the guy would die and delay the mission, that guy didn't know that he was most grateful to Ling Wulin.
"That's what it is? Ignore the master's mission, find out the reason for our threats, and eliminate future troubles forever?" Li Tianxiao said.
"How is that possible!" Before Xiao Ling could speak, Wen Di was already screaming, glaring at Li Tianxiao with regret, "The mission still needs to be done. Even if you don't want to reward, you can get more information about the mission in the process. Only in order to judge the master's intention more accurately."
"What we need to do now is to be more careful and think about whether there are any clues that may be used that are beneficial to the task. Analyze the plot and judge the difficulty... You can't say which line you must work towards, it depends on the evaluation of the final reward, which one will be higher."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly: That's what it means.
Looking at Wendi's eyes that I wouldn't let you steal the limelight, he touched his nose and smiled helplessly: "That... everyone, I think I have found the first thing." Reason 1.
“…”
Everyone looked at him in shock, especially Wen Di, with a shocked face, as if they had just started and found that someone had already crossed the line; they just started the exam and found that someone had handed in the paper.
The three things you find are not that easy to dominate the task. It is not just a matter of being trapped in the enemy camp and not daring to move in a difficult situation. In fact, everyone doesn’t even know what the three things are, but they only get ambiguous clues, just like riddles.
Holyness is not pure, holy light is not absolute, just as if the stronger the sunlight, the more obvious the shadows are, the stricter the precepts are, the more relaxed the indulgence is. Follow the tempting breath in the air to look for it...
"This clue depends on the smell that I am best at, so..." Xiao Ling shrugged and spread his hands.
Chapter completed!
