【Five minutes ago】

After Su Mingan put on [Wang Han's human skin mask], he immediately walked towards the mayor's home in his memory.

His current career points are zero and his points are less than 100. There is no chance to create a clone. It is also difficult to do evil in the "shadow" state. He cannot beat up all NPCs in order to gain career points and lose a lot of favorability.

The gain outweighs the loss.

If anything happens, I can only do it myself for the time being.

He expected that the situation would be difficult.

...To protect the good players who remain, he cannot stay by their side all the time. He can only seek help from NPCs.

He was close to the mayor's home. Outside the mayor's house, there was a high wall and a heavy solid wood door. There was almost no gap in the wall, except for a small window next door, which looked like a newly opened window. He walked up

Going forward, he was about to reach out to grab the iron ring on the door and knock on the door, when he saw the door in front of him suddenly opened first.

"Squeak——"

A dull voice sounded, and the kind-hearted mayor looked at him with a smile on his head and a cane with a dragon head.

It's like I've been waiting here for a long time.

"Ah..." The mayor's words confirmed his guess. The old man smiled so hard that his wrinkles were squeezed into a ball. He looked amiable, like a parent who cares about his children: "You are finally here."

His words were very gentle, even with a hint of intimacy that made people involuntarily approach him.

But Su Mingan was very wary - he remembered that the mayor Mitchell's favorability towards him had not changed much from beginning to end, and he didn't even hear a system prompt, so that he didn't even know what the other person's initial favorability was.

But the next moment, he heard the other party's words with endless nostalgia:

…

"...My dear child, Pori."

…

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

He suddenly heard the system prompt:

[Because you are wearing a special prop (Wang Han’s human skin mask), the NPC will recognize your identity. 】

[NPC (Mayor of Mitchell Terrie Town) has identified you as (son of Bury Mitchell who died young)]

[Note: Please try not to deviate from Mitchell’s approval within the sight range, otherwise your favorability will be greatly reduced and unexpected things will happen!]

[Current favorability of Mitchell: 80 points (family affection)]

"Ah." Su Mingan followed his words: "I'm back."

As early as the first day when the mayor met his clone, he said that he looked like his child Pori who died young.

So...is it such a recognition mechanism?

However, the system clearly indicated that Bori had passed away...but the mayor acted as if Bori had just returned home.

After hearing his response, the mayor's smile seemed to grow stronger. He changed the leading crutch to his left hand and stretched out his hand tremblingly to help Su Ming'an.

Su Mingan could only act out the scene of "a loving father and a filial son" with him first. He helped Mitchell up and crossed the threshold with him.

He felt a little wet on his face.

……It is raining again.

The door behind him closed with a loud bang, bringing with it a strange chill in the spring. Through the sudden rain, he saw the two red lanterns hanging at the door in front of the house swinging in the heavy rain, in a hazy state.

It shines with scarlet light, like a pair of wild beast's eyes.

The somewhat resentful voice of the shorter mayor came from beside him:

"You're finally back... Pori, I've been waiting for you for so long that I almost forgot when you left..."

"..." Su Ming'an didn't know the situation clearly and had limited clues. He couldn't guess why Bo Li left and remained silent.

But combined with the word "die young", the real Bo Li may have died on the way out.

"When you were about to leave, I advised you... The gods will not forgive the betrayed child. The journey is long and involves mountains and ridges, which is too hard for you. However, now that you are back...

...Then everything is fine, take a rest first, and I will take you to the Lord God to atone for your sins..."

Listening to the mayor's next words, Su Mingan vaguely understood the reason why Bo Li left in the first place.

He said tentatively: "I traveled far to find the faith in my heart."

He saw the mayor's sudden look, which was somewhat frozen through the fine raindrops.

"...Have you found it?" the mayor asked.

The two of them stopped in front of the door.

The red lantern swayed slightly, emitting a strange light, like a pair of faint, werewolf eyes.

Su Mingan helped the old man up and helped him go up the steps in front of him.

"...So, I'm back." He said.

…

[NPC (Mitchell), favorability: 80+10]

[Current favorability rating: love]

…

Mitchell's smile seemed more genuine - he was happy for his lost child.

Children who betray the gods of Trili Town and seek faith from the outside world will be punished. He originally thought that his Bori had died outside early in the morning.

Unexpectedly... Bo Li is back and has grown a lot.

His child... finally realized what true faith is.

He stretched out his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Squeak——"

The girl with braids opened the door with a shy smile. When her beautiful big eyes looked over, her eyes were as clear as the sea, sky and lake.

...Jasmine.

Su Mingan was not surprised to see her.

In fact, from the system prompts, he had already noticed that the description - "She who fell into the coffin" was most likely referring to Jasmine.

So, according to clue two: the tablets in the living room. Those two tablets... are most likely hers.

【Go to her memorial tablet, to the place where she is still alive.】

The task prompt says this. The first half of the sentence sounds like she is dead, and the second half of the sentence sounds like she is still alive.

The Jasmine in front of me...the Jasmine at night, what are they?

"Dad, this is..." Jasmine's eyes stopped at Su Ming'an for a moment, and then moved away.

"As I told you, my dear child Pori." Mitchell responded with a smile: "When he left home, you weren't here yet... I didn't expect to see him again one day...

…”

The mayor seemed very emotional, and his eyes looked over with more eagerness.

Su Ming'an understood the meaning of the mayor's words - Jasmine might not be his biological daughter, but an adopted daughter.

Otherwise, the mayor would not use the description "come here".

"Hello...come in first." Jasmine nodded to him reservedly, then retracted her head, opened the door, and let Su Ming'an in.

And the moment I walked in the door.

Su Mingan suddenly realized something.

——He didn't hear... Jasmine, like the mayor, identified him as an NPC system prompt.

——Jasmine saw through his disguised identity.

But she didn't expose it, and instead let him in.

What is she going to do?

Su Mingan walked in vigilantly. He had already guessed that this mission was dangerous. Even if there was a return, he did not want to always feel the feeling of death.

He has always been wary of the girl with "sin" in the system prompts.

Entering, he smelled a faint scent of incense burning in the room.

White mist floated from the stove, and he sat down at the table. Sure enough, he saw the two tablets placed aside as if staring at the guests.

The writing on it is still blurry.

The tea cup was placed in front of him, and the tea leaves were floating in the water. He looked over and saw his own reflection floating on the water, and saw a pair of looming deep eyes.

...very weird.

"Bori, you are coming back this time..." The mayor seemed to be about to start a long speech again.
To be continued...
