1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

"The beauty at the train station?" 612 asked, "What kind of beauty at the train station?"

076 glanced at him, and responded casually: "The nursery rhyme just now. Didn't you hear it?"

"Ah, that?" 612 suddenly realized, "I was mainly thinking, now we are all in the playground, where is the train station, and what about Xiao Ming. I didn't pay much attention."

076 is too lazy to talk about him.

612 took the path of actual combat, and his ability to face up to NPCs is relatively strong. Correspondingly, he doesn't like to use his brain.

He really didn't pay attention to the nursery rhyme just now.

"However, if you analyze yours, you don't need to explain too much to me." 612 is very self-aware.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you more." 076 replied.

After the two of them finished this almost meaningless conversation, they looked around——

The playground is surrounded by high walls, tight and towering, and normal people cannot climb over them at all.

Along the inner side of the wall, there are a few poplar trees sparsely. In the game, it is like spring all the year round and the climate is stable. These poplar trees are lush and lush.

I didn't see Xu Sui, Xu Nian and Chen Zhiju.

"Strange, why are there only two of us this time? What about them?" 612 asked.

076 pondered for a second, then, he tapped 612 on the shoulder: "Use your credits to buy two sunglasses, one with one-way reflection."

"?"

While buying sunglasses, 612 whispered, "Why don't you use your own credits? I heard that your credits have exceeded [-] million."

076 is now using Qi Lu's body, and the credits used are also Qi Lu's credits.He naturally saves as much as he can.

Ignore 612's muttering.

076 put on the sunglasses as usual, and he briefly explained to 612: "The rules point out that we can't look into the eyes of the beauties at the train station. Wearing sunglasses is equivalent to a bug in this rule, and it will never count as directly seeing the beauties at the train station." Eyes, we will not become wooden men."

612 immediately understood: "So that's how it is."

The two of them wore sunglasses, went around the playground again, and found something wrong——

In the southwest corner of the playground, there is a huge locust tree.

The locust tree belongs to shade, and the southwest corner is also the place where the shade wind pours in. 076 stepped forward, and 612 followed him closely.

"Is that a locust tree?" 612 asked.

"Ah."

612 squinted his eyes, and then showed a somewhat disgusted expression: "Why is this locust tree so ugly? It makes my skin crawl all over!"

612 is right, the only locust tree in the southwest corner is really not very elegant.

This locust tree should be some years old, as thick as an adult's waist, and it is very not straight, with a crooked trunk.Even more terrifying is its bark.

The bark of the locust tree will become rough with the age of the tree, coupled with some wind and rain erosion or birds pecking, there will be very ugly holes in the bark, sometimes by chance, these pecked holes, seen from a distance It looks like a human face.

Therefore, the locust tree is also called the ghost tree.

This was the case with the locust tree they saw now—and it had more than one face.

The tree is mottled and old, with many holes in it.Generally speaking, it is densely packed, like countless human faces next to each other.

It made 612 feel uncomfortable.

612 rubbed his arms, and asked in a timid tone, "What's wrong with this tree?"

"human face."

076 vaguely pointed to the bark and the "human faces" on the surface of the bark.

"The name of our game is Wooden Man. If a human face is engraved on the bark, does it count as a 'wooden man'?"

076's words made 612's scalp tingle.

"It's scary!" 612 took half a step back.

"Don't think so much, first find a way to pass the customs, and leave here early." 076 said.

"Oh, okay." 612 nodded immediately, and then he asked again: "What are we going to do next?"

"Observe this." 076 said calmly, not paying attention to the fact that 612's face became more and more ugly because of this sentence.

076 just kept telling himself: "Look at the face on it, and see if there's anything wrong."

"Ah..." 612 actually wanted to refuse, but when he saw that 076 had already bent down to observe the face at the root of the tree, he swallowed the words of refusal again.

The bark of locust tree is very rough.Those densely packed "faces" can only be vaguely seen, and they all look similar.The only difference is probably the expressions of these "faces"——

Anger, happiness, horror, daze, sadness... all kinds of emotions are available.

612 looked around for a while, and then told 076 what he found: "There is no difference in facial features, but there are various emotions, which is a bit strange..."

"How strange?" 076 raised his eyebrows.

"It's just... Although these are tree barks, looking at these faces and the different emotions displayed by different faces gave me the illusion that there are actually living people here." After 612 finished speaking, he added: " It's all so realistic."

076 made a "hmm" sound, and then reminded 612: "Next, no matter what happens, you can't take off your sunglasses, remember."

612 nodded, combined with the theme of the "wooden man", of course he also knew that the sunglasses were very important.

076 breathed a sigh of relief.Originally, he wanted to do it directly, but later he considered that this was Qi Lu's body, and he didn't have strong physical fitness and mental strength as background, so he might hurt him if he did it directly.

076 then looked at 612, and said, "Find a random face and pick it out."

"?"

612 stepped back fiercely, with resistance and retreat in his eyes: "No, what are you doing? Are you trying to harm me?"

"A dungeon of this level can't hurt you at all." 076 explained concisely: "My current body belongs to Qi Lu, he just entered the game not long ago, if I let him do it, I'm afraid I'll hurt him again. "

The last time Qi Lu was injured was in the small kitchen of the hide-and-seek kindergarten. He was forced to inhale a lot of deadly gas, and he still hasn't recovered yet.

The current 076 will naturally not put him in danger again.

612 twitched the corners of his mouth, ready to do what 076 said.I asked again before: "By the way, you asked me to do this, do you have a general clue?"

"No, I'm still looking." 076 replied, "My search for clues and my hard work are carried out at the same time."

612:"……"

The unbelieving 612 asked again: "By the way, why don't you use your own physical presence to protect him? Every time you have to do something extra, attach yourself to him, won't you be afraid of trouble?"

076 felt that Qi Lu in his consciousness had already fallen asleep, so he answered 612: "You think I haven't tried that before?"

"so?"

"Z big library, he almost confessed himself there." 076's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger in his words. He seemed to be talking about the past very calmly: "That's why I chose Appear in this way, protect him every step of the way."

The meaning of 076's words can also explain why 612 has to pick the bark.

——612 also deeply understands his status as a tool person, and no longer refute.

After all, there are no NPCs right now, so it is impossible for 612 to pass the level by himself.He can only pin his hopes on 076.They finish this fellowship dungeon early, and then go back to the Inquisition.

612 looked around, and finally settled on a sad expression on the face. Following 076's instructions, he yanked outward along the cracks in the bark——

"woo woo woo woo……"

A man's cry came from the bark.In the next second, 612 felt his hand sink, and the bark in his hand suddenly turned into a man in his twenties.

"I'll go..." 612 said in shock.

Is this the intuition of Inquisitor 076?Just let him move a little bit, and an NPC can be blown up? !

612 felt a little palpitation after knowing it. No wonder no one dared to question it when 076 proposed to reverse the passage of time in the entire court.

"Don't cry." 076 stopped the man who had been cut from the bark, and asked him, "Who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Ming's father." The man opened his mouth and explained his identity clearly.

Thinking of the nursery rhyme just now, 076 raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The police?" 076 asked back.

"Not very much." Xiao Ming's father replied, and then, some embarrassment flashed across his face: "I am a security guard, but the children don't quite understand it, and they always think I am a policeman."

076:"……"

But right now is not the time to be speechless, 076 exhaled slowly, and continued to ask: "Why are you in the tree?"

"That day, I went on patrol with someone, and I saw a beautiful woman near the train station..." the man murmured.

This basically corresponds to the plot in the nursery rhyme.

076 continued to ask him: "Then why are you crying?"

"Because Xiao Ming is gone." The man's face was full of sadness.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" This time it was 612 who spoke——

He is good at dealing with NPCs, especially these routines and negotiations. He always has an equal attitude that no one is afraid of. He has never been as cautious as other players.

The man said: "Xiao Ming is my adopted child. I'm ugly and not very rich. I'm old and living alone is boring, so I adopted Xiao Ming from the orphanage."

"Well, then what?"

"Xiao Ming grew up with me. My salary is low, but it is more than enough to take care of us. Then Xiao Ming goes to school." Speaking of this, the man sighed deeply.

"Xiao Ming is a child of the orphanage. He was thrown at the train station and then sent to the orphanage. Because he has a cleft lip."

"He was always bullied at school, and I was busy with work, so he was always bullied by himself and didn't know to tell others."

"Until his sixth birthday, he made a wish that he would have a mother." The man smiled shyly and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I didn't teach him this, it was himself. He saw other Every time a classmate is bullied, there is a mother who comes to support her, so I wish that I can have a mother too."

"It just so happened that a beautiful woman came down from the train station that day, and she fell in love with me immediately. I originally wanted to tell Xiao Ming the news, but I couldn't find him..."

After the man finished speaking, suddenly, the soles of the feet gradually became transparent, like a broken jigsaw puzzle, gradually dissipating on the spot bit by bit.

076 looked at the locust tree again——

Many faces disappeared from the locust tree, and this locust tree looks a little better.

612 is not a fool, and has experienced many copies and has some experience.He guessed: "This is... Does every face on the locust tree represent a plot?"
