On TV, the program host with a strange face flashed away.
The black-and-white picture turned into a nostalgic snowflake.
There was a strange light outside.
Yilin's heart moved and hurriedly pushed open the window.
In the dark blue night sky, countless stars twinkle like phosphorescence in an ocean.
Yilin's pupil contracted slightly.
The expression suddenly became dignified.
If it was an ordinary night scene and an ordinary star, even if the star spread several galaxies in the sky and circled into a human body structure diagram of three circles on the left and three circles on the right, Yilin would not show such an expression.
That's not the point.
But.
"What is this?"
Yilin slowly stretched out his hand outside the window and "grabbed" the stars outside the window.
The stars are as close as fireflies. One of the twinkling stars was held in his hand by Yilin.
In Yilin's hand, there was clearly no real touch, but there was a strange warmth in his clenched palm. There was a faint light between his fingers, as if there was a real star in Yilin's hand.
"This is unscientific."
"Isn't the so-called star image formed by other stars in the universe reflecting the light of stars?"
Erin let go.
The "Star" floated into the night sky again and soon disappeared.
Old stars disappear, and new stars rise.
The picture in front of us is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Yilin suddenly had the impulse to use the [annihilation grip] to blow up.
See if you can make any changes.
But after thinking for a moment, Yilin decided to give up the idea.
Yilin quickly picked up one star after another.
obviously.
Filled with countless stars in the town, they are both like hallucinations and not hallucinations.
Bang bang.
There was a hurried knock outside the door.
"Brother Yilin, open the door, open the door."
It's Xing Fei.
When Xing Fei rushed in, he was about to say something. He saw the window open and countless stars shining outside the window. He swallowed his words and said, "I just want you to open the window and have a look."
Yilin nodded and said nothing.
Xing Fei's expression is full of vigilance.
After all, no matter how beautiful the scene is, it makes it difficult for him to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
It's really weird.
After opening the door, Yilin ignored the nervous Xing Fei, looked calm and appreciated the stars.
Outside the window.
The town is filled with a festive atmosphere. Many couples go out hand in hand and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the stars with a happy face. It is very peaceful.
"It's rare."
Yilin suddenly sighed.
Xing Fei was stunned: "what's rare?"
"I mean, in the trial, you can see this scenery."
Xing Fei cried and laughed: "are you still in the mood to enjoy the stars?"
Yilin stretched out his hand again, fished out of the window, clenched his fist, loosened it, and clenched it again. He had a good time. He said, "otherwise? It won't lose blood anyway. It's not a bad thing."
Xing Fei pushed the mirror frame, but he was speechless.
It seems that makes sense!
So he also crowded to the window, learned Yilin's actions, and fished out of the window.
The "stars" within reach are a rare experience for anyone.
Unfortunately, this beauty did not last long.
In the room.
Still echoing with the sound of rustling snowflakes.
But outside the window.
The stars suddenly dissipated.
Very suddenly.
The little star light disappeared without a trace.
The sky darkened again.
In a small town.
The residents who are having a good time are quite unhappy, but they can only return reluctantly. Those who should climb the wall, those who should climb the window, those who should read the script, those who should watch the ball, go back to their homes, or other people's homes.
Yilin turned his palm, crushed the [blood Jasmine] card and suspended it out of the window with the power of reading.
From the invisible angle of Xing Fei, Yi Lin quickly and secretly calls Bai Xiaoyi out.
"Shh -"
Yilin's index finger stood up.
Bai Xiaoyi knew for a moment. At the critical moment, she was still very reliable and flew silently into the night sky.
Yilin quickly switches to Bai Xiaoyi's field of vision.
"Bai Xiaoyi" squints and stares at the surrounding sky.
In the distance, there is still a thick fog, and you can't see the furthest.
But.
In a certain direction.
In the dark sky.
There was a very dark crack under the fog.
This scene is a bit like the sky is torn open by that crack.
See more clearly, it's not too similar, as if it's just a twisted fog.
"What's going on?"
Xing Fei looked at the beauty of the stars disappearing in front of him and couldn't help asking.
And right now.
Yi Lin and Xing Fei were all slightly stiff.
Not for others.
Just because of the long-awaited plot hint, because of the strange changes in the town, it is finally late.
Welcome to holiday paradise, dream town, green town
It is said that there will be a "green sacrifice" here every year
A dream scene you have never seen will be staged here
There's everything here
You can have everything
As long as you are brave, everyone has maternity leave in town
Yi Lin: "
Xing Fei: "??"
[this year, five tourists accidentally broke into this dream town.]
As tourists, you will find the most distorted truth hidden in a peaceful town
Have a wonderful night
[now release the main task: kill green. Task time limit: before the end of green sacrifice. Return to the real world after completing the task. Reward: unknown.]
Xing Fei looked down, as if he was thinking about the Task Tips carefully.
Any Apostle who can survive several trials will not ignore the message hidden in the initial hint.
Even the most useless hint may affect a major judgment.
But
Xing Fei was helpless.
This tip seems to be nothing to do with it?
When Xing Fei ponders the task tips, Yilin has finished looking around and quickly put away the short-lived Bai Xiaoyi.
Before Bai Xiaoyi disappeared, she pouted unhappily, as if she hated her master's ruthlessness.
When Xing Fei raised his head, Yilin had put the blood Jasmine away again, as if nothing had happened.
"This task is a little strange. Who the hell is green?"
Xing Fei was silent for a moment and finally said a nonsense.
Yilin smiled and didn't deny it.
you bet.
Green Town, Green Festival, green mascot... Kill green?
Who's green?
At first glance, it seems to be just a main task to kill a "boss".
But in fact, is it really that simple?
Especially after experiencing the wonder of stars not long ago, Yilin didn't think so.
"I don't know."
Yilin said.
Xing Fei nodded. There was no accident.
Because
He doesn't know.
If we don't know, it seems that we are at the same starting line, which makes people feel very comfortable.
There's nothing to discuss next.
I don't know why. Anyway, I can't discuss it.
and.
Xing Fei is still in the man's room.
In the middle of the night, lonely men and widowed men, let alone spread out. Even if they spread downstairs, they can't argue and can't be innocent anymore.
Xing Feixing walked out of Yilin's room.
Before leaving, I didn't know whether it was an order or a request. I just said, "what special findings do you have? Contact each other."
"I see."
Yilin said with a smile.
As for whether they understand it or not, they only know it.
After Xing Fei left, Yi Lin closed the door and took out the compass from the heart from the storage space. Brewing emotions.
Think about the desire in your heart first.
Then think of the main task.
Think of "green".
Kill... Green.
Yilin opened his eyes.
The pointer on the compass rotates wildly. The rotation range is so large that it seems that as long as the glass cover on the compass is lifted, the pointer can go to heaven in situ.
Yilin: "...?"
"The compass is broken? Impossible."
This is an epic prop.
But Yilin knocked the compass on the ground several times.
of no avail.
The pointer is still pointing blindly.
"Is it still an old problem? I don't know who green is, so I can't find it? No. since I know it's green, the concept is very clear. It's reasonable to say that the compass should be able to point out the direction of green."
"Unless green is away."
"Or is green where the compass can't point?"
Yilin quickly speculated on the main task.
Frowning, Yilin reluctantly put away the compass.
If it is really so easy to find the task goal, it will be comfortable.
"It seems that the key to the main task this time is not only the matter of 'killing', but also how to find out 'green'."
Yilin closed his eyes, carefully memorized the task tips in his brain, word by word, and thought about them five times.
Combined with what you have seen and heard during the day, you can really analyze a lot of information in the task prompt.
But at present, Yilin is still unable to draw a conclusion.
Staring at the night.
Yilin is pondering and hesitating.
But in the end, he decided not to move for the time being, silently turned on the old black-and-white TV and brushed up the late night show.
——Wait.
The next day.
dawn.
"I should have come, but I didn't come."
Yilin rubbed his sour eyes, both unexpected and not unexpected.
Unexpectedly, there were no other changes last night except the wonders of the stars.
Not surprisingly, "green" as the main task goal, if it is so easy to kill the door and take the initiative to be robbed, it will be too cheap.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, look in the mirror and solve your physiological needs. Yilin seems to be forgetting that he hasn't tried to get up so quietly in trial practice for a long time.
Oh, No. When I played Elizabeth Lin, I was very comfortable for a few days.
In the mirror, Yilin, who had stayed up all night, did not leave too many haggard traces.
When I came out of the room.
Xing Fei next door also happened to go out and yawned. He looked quite tired.
"No sleep?"
Xing Fei skimmed his lips: "I dare not."
They went downstairs one after another.
Dudu Dudu——
Outside the door came the sound of flute.
Downstairs, Judy was walking outside the door with a little boy with brown curly hair.
The child bowed his head and squeezed the corners of his clothes with his hands.
Judy impatiently took the child out of the door and complained as she walked, "Damn it, I went to bed too late last night and almost missed the school bus. Alan, you're so old, don't you know how to get up? Really, with your damn --"
Suddenly.
Judy shut up.
Alan buried his head deeper.
After sending Alan to the school bus, Judy yawned and was ready to go back to the house to have a beautiful sleep.
Yilin thought for a moment and felt that the time was very good, so he decided to cover his conscience once.
"Oh, Judy, your brother is very cute."
Yilin said with a smile. His expression was calm and could not see a trace of reluctance.
Xing Fei, on one side, almost choked by a mouthful of saliva.
Ah, this?
Brother Yilin.
Were you blinded by the stars last night?
This age gap is obviously a mother and son!
Xing Fei takes a closer look.
Yilin's eyes were wide and bright.
It was not the eyes that were blind, but the mouth.
ten minutes later.
"Oh, shit! Alan is my son!"
"But I can't blame you. Who makes me look so young."
"It's so annoying. Some people always read Judy's age wrong. Oh, the troubles of beautiful women are always so simple. This damn youth."
Yilin and Judy had a good talk, very much.
Judy took a bath and didn't seem to mind that two strange tourists, Yilin and Xing Fei, were here. They put on a loose and relatively conservative Pajama, giggled and trembled, and the white meat trembled.
Yilin said with a smile, "if you don't say it, you really can't see it at all."
Judy smiled more happily, but complained: "don't talk nonsense, Judy is not as young as you say. Hey, old."
They chatted again.
Xing Fei sat aside and drank coffee in silence.
His expression was indifferent.
I feel like I am living like a shining light bulb at this moment, which is very eye-catching.
Judy is in a good mood.
She didn't expect that the tourist looked plain and a little fierce. She didn't expect that he would become so handsome as soon as he had a rich hand and a sweet mouth?
Thinking of this, Judy pinched her leg.
Yilin gossiped about his family.
Judy did not hide it and told her story very readily.
It turned out that many years ago, Judy was also a beautiful young girl.
But just like most beautiful women can't step through a barrier, she met a scum man she will never forget in her life.
After being scum, Judy was as bloody as the end of every scum man's story. She was pregnant.
But when she wanted to find an honest man to pick up the plate, she picked it up and couldn't find anything pleasing to her eyes.
With this delay, my stomach grew too big to hide.
After all, you said that after four months of marriage, you were pregnant with the crystallization of love... What a fool you have to find to see the flaw?
So in the end, it was like the story in the dog blood family ethics play. On a stormy night, the ignorant Judy gave birth to Allen in the town hospital in green town with tears and blood.
After giving birth to Alan, Judy wanted to throw Alan at the door of the welfare home, and then start a new life as if nothing had happened.
But somehow, looking at the baby's face, she finally decided to raise Alan alone.
Time, like Judy's youth, rubbed and rubbed for a few years, until now.
Alan's father has never appeared since he was born, and Judy thought his father died.
Xing Fei listened to the ethics story without waves in his heart.
Even if this kind of story is put in the real world, it has no sense of conflict.
Unfortunately, contraceptive technology is good now. It is very rare to have an "accident" accidentally.
Yilin echoed a few words.
Show empathy... Ah bah, show enough sympathy.
It took nearly half an hour to brush a lot of favor on Judy before Yilin cut to the point.
"Judy, I watched the program yesterday and said there was an activity called green in the town these days?"
"Green sacrifice."
Judy smiled and threw a small wink at Yilin: "Oh, I think you saw it last night? It's so beautiful, but it's gone in a while."
"What is the green sacrifice?"
"Green sacrifice is green sacrifice. At this time of year, strange things happen every night in green town. But over time, people here are used to it and turn it into a celebration. Everyone is happy to celebrate at this time."
"Since when?"
"Yesterday." Judy crept closer to Erin.
Yilin bowed his head for a moment and asked, "how long does the green sacrifice last?"
"Seven days!"
Seven days!
Exactly, it should be seven nights.
Last night was the first night.
Yilin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
I know it.
Key intelligence, get.
At the very least, they have clearly understood the time limit of the task.
The main task is clearly marked. They must complete the main task before the end of the green sacrifice.
Yilin noticed the strangeness in Judy's words, struck while the iron was hot, robbed while the fire was hot, and continued to get information.
"Judy, I'm curious. Do you mean the strange thing you said last night?"
In fact, Judy wanted to say that in addition to strange things, maybe something else could happen at night... Even during the day. But on reflection, Judy still suppressed the idea of something happening.
"Hee hee, last night's was a small matter."
Yilin was slightly stunned.
Xing Fei was stunned.
trifle?
The view of the stars last night was a small matter?
Isn't that big "strange thing" going to heaven?
Is this the real difficulty of this trial practice?
The first night, just let the five apostles feel the warmth of the festival and the care from the tower. Next, is it the time to really die?
Such a string of thoughts came out of Xing Fei's mind.
Before the two asked questions, Judy broke her fingers and counted the so-called "strange things of the green sacrifice".
"Sometimes, there will be some strange creatures. Sometimes, it will suddenly snow. Sometimes, the whole town will be full of strange insects. Even more strange..." Judy's tone changed and became a bit more gloomy, like telling a ghost story: "people who have died suddenly live in the green sacrifice."
Xing Fei suddenly shivered, as if it was suddenly cold around him.
Yilin's expression remained unchanged and asked, "is this strange thing ignored?"
Judy smiled: "who cares? Old brown, the only policeman in town, is drunk all day. He only wakes up at noon. Besides, nothing happened."
"It's all right?" Xing Fei pushed the glasses to the bridge of his nose and pressed them tightly, as if he was afraid that the glasses would fall off accidentally.
"Oh. So you're still there." Xing Fei, who has been acting as a small light bulb, finally made a sound. Judy turned her eyes to Xing Fei and said with a smile, "whether it's strange creatures, insects, other strange things, or even the living dead, they will disappear as long as it's dawn, no exception."
Night.
strange happenings.
Green sacrifice.
Yilin quickly sorted out the clues from Judy's mouth.
The feeling of this town to Yilin became more and more strange.
Of course, this kind of eccentricity has become a kind of daily life in the test of the world.
It's no wonder that they can't have their apostles come and carry out cruel trials related to life and death in the scene.
finally.
Yilin knocked from the side for a while. Judy, as an ordinary citizen, had limited knowledge, and they couldn't come up with more information about the "green sacrifice".
At this time.
Yilin asked another thing: "Judy, do you know who's called 'green' in the town?"
Hearing this, Xing Fei sat up straight.
This question should have been asked long ago!
He can't wait to know the answer.
But.
Is it really that simple?
"Yes."
To Xing Fei's surprise, Judy thought and nodded decisively.
"Who?"
"The host of the town TV station seems to be... Just called green."
Yilin suddenly remembered the program that flashed on the old TV inadvertently last night.
"Is it the host with strange facial features and big mouth?"
"Yes, that's him!"
Yi Lin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
Is the host called green the goal of the mission?
Even an ordinary young housewife knows the goal... Is it so easy?
Xing Fei is worthy of being a spiritual apostle, and he immediately noticed the strangeness.
The two communicated secretly and decided not to delay. First go to the town TV station to find out the host named "green".
Whether it's the goal of the main task or not, we can't let it go.
Before leaving.
Elaine just refused Judy's invitation and said that she would sit down for a while and have a good communication.
But he thought, maybe Judy could be used in the trial practice, so he threw out a stack of paper money and said he would stay here for a few days. Don't worry.
Judy saw a stack of banknotes and smiled instantly, indicating that she had more money.
Yilin passes by Judy's door and suddenly her eyes freeze.
There is a paper basket by the door.
In the paper basket, there is a lump of paper crumpled into a ball.
of course.
Paper is not the point.
The reason why Yilin suddenly stopped was that he saw a faint black air around the paper ball.
——[resentment].
Very light, very light, almost imperceptible.
But because of this period of time, Yilin just unlocked the new skills. He was very sensitive to this strange black gas, so he glanced at it and fell into his eyes.
He attached himself, picked up the lump of paper from the basket, smoothed it carefully and spread it out.
It was a piece of drawing paper torn in half and kneaded into a ball.
On the drawing paper, it looks like children's graffiti and fills the paper carelessly.
In the dark blue background, numerous dots were pointed out on the paper with a yellow crayon.
Xing Fei also came together.
I don't know why.
What is this painting?
Abstract?
Stream of consciousness?
Fauvism?
It's reasonable that this kind of painting can't be made up without more than ten years of painting skills, or more than ten years of cerebral thrombosis.
"Starry sky?"
Xing Fei was speechless: "where do you see that this painting is starry sky? Hurry to find 'green'. Don't forget that there are three of them. Even if they are not the target of the mission, this may also be an important clue. Everyone in this town knows the host. It shouldn't be difficult to find out. If you go late, maybe the clue will break."
Yilin nodded indifferently, but quietly put the paper away.
He thought of Judy's story and guessed who the owner of the painting was.
But I don't have time to ask now.
After all, Xing Fei is right. The host named 'green' may be a key figure connected with the main task.
"By the way, Judy, when do you come to the special tourist line in town?"
"Special line?" But unexpectedly, Judy smelled the speech and looked confused: "where is the special tourist line in our town?"
Xing Fei's face changed slightly and he felt cool behind his back.
"Go."
Yilin already had a preliminary idea in his mind.
Without further delay, he fully demonstrated his speed as an "agile side" apostle and quickly left the Judy hotel.
"Hey! You should take care of the spiritual apostles!"
A lot of information was obtained from Judy. Before he could digest and be surprised, Xing Fei followed closely behind Yi Lin for fear of being left behind.
About twenty minutes later.
They came to a TV station with an old architectural style.
