Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 618 [Swamp Town] 5

When Feng Lan came in from outside, he inadvertently glanced at the little bug lying on the pillar at the door. Without any discussion, he instantly understood what his teammates meant. He did not sweep it down, but opened the door and went in, closing all the peeping eyes behind him.

Inside the door, Yuan Ying asked Ethan about it, then smiled and told him he could leave. Her dark, bright eyes cast a dazzling halo in Ethan's eyes, like a jar of intoxicating wine, drowning him. "Thank you for helping us with our luggage. You are such a kind neighbor, Ethan."

"It's okay. I'm happy to help you." Ethan went out in a daze. It was already dark. He returned home in a daze. He only remembered those eyes. He couldn't even remember what he said or did.

Feng Lan didn't ask any more questions. "It's getting dark, and this house needs to be cleaned up before people can live in it. Lawyer Mark gave me an address, and I can go to Mrs. Delk's house to get some tools to clean it up."

Yuan Ying glanced at the sky outside from the window. It was not raining, and there were not even a few street lamps on the gloomy road. Old Marsh's house next door was the only house with lights on within a few dozen meters. The dark red paint cast an ominous shadow in the dark night.

Feng Lan didn't ask what Yuan Ying asked. The thing that was most abundant in the deserted town was natural plants. These were natural eyes and ears. As long as the players didn't use props to block their surroundings when chatting, Feng Lan could hear them. Of course, this required a very high level of mental power. Otherwise, the mental power attached to the plants would be like a fire in the dark night in the eyes of high-level players, bright and conspicuous.

Like the little bugs eavesdropping on the doorpost.

Of course Ethan didn't lie, and Yuan Ying was indeed a charm player, but her charm was not like hypnosis. Humans are the most likely to lie, and everything they say is full of subjective conjecture. She didn't completely control Ethan, so there was no need and no value in it.

Ethan did not lie, he just said what he saw and embellished the facts. Yuan Ying and the people present could clearly see every change in Ethan's expression, and thus more accurately infer the truth of what he said.

But the eavesdropping player can't.

The reason why Feng Lan did not kill the little bug was because she understood her teammates' thoughts. There are basically not many stupid people who can reach A-level players, and most smart people have a common problem. They will not believe the clues that are delivered to their doorstep, but will believe the information that they have deduced by all means, and believe it without a doubt.

After finding out the news, this group of people will probably be eager to investigate in order to seize the initiative.

Once a person takes action, no matter how well he performed before, traces will be revealed.

"Knock knock knock."

"Who is it?" Feng Lan took the initiative to open the door. There were three people in the house, one was the employer, and the other was a bodyguard who had a charming style and didn't look very good at fighting.

"Hello, lovely girls. You are new here and I think you need a hot dinner. Why don't you come to my house and rest for a night? My house is not far away, just over ten minutes' walk away." The lady who knocked on the door was in her thirties or forties, with a kind smile. She was a resident of the town.

Feng Lan recognized that she was one of Ben Xin's bodyguards. He looked at her warily and felt a little embarrassed. After being persuaded twice by the other party, he nodded happily in agreement.

"Great! This house is such a mess. We were thinking of borrowing some cleaning tools from Mrs. Delk so we can get a good night's sleep tonight."

Hearing the name of Mrs. Delk, Jennifer's smile faded. After looking around, she hesitantly spoke, "Delk has been acting strangely lately... She's sick. It's nothing serious, so it's best you don't bother her."

"Thank you for the reminder." Feng Lan nodded, turned around and shouted towards the house, "Ava, Sarah, this——"

"Jennifer, everyone calls me Jennifer."

"Mrs. Jennifer invited us to dinner at her house."

"There are so many mosquitoes this season." Jennifer picked up a stone and threw it at the bugs on the door. "They're everywhere. This abandoned house has the most. You must take precautions."

"Of course, Jennifer, it's just a bug." Feng Lan replied with a smile.

The fish shouldn't eat the following information, as there is already enough bait in the previous part.

Being an opponent of smart people is a headache, but being teammates with smart people, especially smart people who are knowledgeable and interesting, is a good thing, as everyone is very smart and capable.

Although Feng Lan had never met anyone before, this was only the second time she met her employer Ben Xin.

But they cooperated with each other very smoothly. Ben Xin knew his own level and the difficulty of the dungeon, so he was very obedient.

"That's not what I do. You guys go to dungeons frequently, so you're more sensitive to danger than I am."

The three of them didn't have anything to pack. Feng Lan and Ben Wenxin took a quick look at their respective luggage. She was mainly worried that the copy might have hidden some important clues in these items. If they didn't look at them now, it would be a pity if something unexpected happened and they were eaten by insects, got damp and couldn't be seen.

Sure enough, Feng Lan and Ben Wenxin found information about this town in their computers. It was established in 1987 and was only a prototype at the time.

"1987?" Feng Lan recalled the words she heard before entering the dungeon and calculated the time. "It's 2013 now, 26 years have passed."

Twenty-six years. If she hadn't looked at the documentation, she'd have thought the town had over a century of history! The abandoned houses, the cemetery, the layers of notices on the bulletin boards, the shops that had long since closed... everything spoke of the town's immense age.

Several people exchanged glances, realizing there was something wrong with the timeline of this instance. Jennifer was the most affected. Her lips trembled, but she maintained her composure as a player. "As far as I can remember, I've lived in this town for decades. After my husband joined the army and died, I've lived here ever since, rarely leaving."

Jennifer couldn't remember exactly how many decades it was. This time, all the players entered at different times, locations, and memories.

At the end of the day, the clues were numerous and confusing. There was one clue about old Marsh's home, one about Eleanor in the town, and a pair of information about Jennifer. Well, there was another clue about the origin of the town and the townspeople. There were so many clues but no one thread that clearly connected the main task. The danger seemed to be there, but it also seemed not to be there. We were all smart people, and we got a little confused as we sorted things out silently.

They looked at each other for a moment, both having never taken over such a messy A-level copy.

"It's indeed difficult." Yuan Ying frowned, and the smile on her face faded. "I completed my main quest as soon as I came in. Did you guys do the same?"

"Yes."

"Me too."

"Me too. It's clearly an exploration mission, but the requirement is to stay alive, and the mission status is completed."

According to the normal main line type, this should be a survival mission.

Below this, the hidden meaning of the game is obvious, explore this copy, but be careful of unknown dangers.

Feng Lan was also thinking about why the main task was completed from the beginning. If the main task was not completed, they would only die, die... A flash of inspiration came to her mind, but Feng Lan did not catch it.
