Chapter 21 The Truth of the Copy
Ning Jun's heart sank. This was obviously a corner of clothing, and he didn't know what had torn it.

Could it be that?
She walked faster, holding the crossbow tightly in her hand, always on guard against the appearance of unknown creatures.

Xiaobai no longer looked cheerful, his ears standing up high.

"Xiaobai, listen carefully. If anything approaches, just scream." Ning Jun also reminded Xiaobai to be alert.

You know, Xiaobai is a tiger and his hearing is much better than hers.

But when you actually walk into the stone forest, it's eerily quiet.

Fortunately, this stone forest is not big. According to Daha, only children like to play hide-and-seek here.

Before the strange things happened, the village hardly cared about this place.

Soon, Ning Jun made a new discovery.

It was another bloody cloth, the blood had dried long ago and was stained on it, making it a little hard.

Xiaoxiao, did an accident really happen?
Thinking of Yanyan's hopeful expression, Ning Jun felt even heavier in his heart.

Suddenly, Xiaobai smelled something and rushed out with a "woop"!
"noob!"

Ning Jun followed closely, and after going around several rocks, he saw the horrifying scene in front of him.

A small stone was covered in splattered blood, which had now turned dark red.

The torn clothes were scattered on the ground.

Just by looking at these, you can imagine the tragedy.

But strangely, the little corpse disappeared.

Xiaobai kept barking, as if he sensed danger.

Ning Yun walked forward, picked up the pieces of clothes in front of the stone one by one, and put them into the bag.

Among them was a bracelet made of colorful ropes with a small bell tied to it.

She remembered that the one on Yanyan's hand was almost exactly the same.

Even the appearance of the bell is exactly the same.

Ning Yun walked around the stone forest twice more but found nothing.

Xiaoxiao, where did you go?
Was it dragged to some other place?

But at the crime scene in front of the big rock, there were no signs of dragging or scattered blood.

It's like people disappear out of thin air.

Ning Jun couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to go back to Changle Village first.

Yanyan was still squatting in front of the stone tablet, looking forward to it.

When Ning Jun appeared in her sight, she stood up suddenly and ran very fast.

"Big sister, have you found my sister?"

She stared with her big round eyes, her face full of anticipation.

She is really too young and has simple thinking.

If the children were older, they would understand everything when they saw Ning Jun appear alone.

Ning Jun felt that his throat was a little dry.

But she still took out the bracelet from her backpack, "I found this."

Yanyan's eyes immediately filled with tears, "This is from my sister."

A whimpering sound was heard, and she held the bracelet in her hands, trembling slightly, and the sound of bells rang out.

Ning Yun's mission changed again.

【Let the girl fall asleep】

This means that Xiaoxiao is to be buried.

I don't know what's going on with the mission in this copy. It only has a name but no specific mission requirements.

Fortunately, the names of these tasks are relatively straightforward, and you can basically guess them accurately by guessing.

Yanyan was still crying, but Ning Yun had to continue with the mission.

This copy also has a time limit of 3 hours.

Now, she only has one hour left before she has to leave the dungeon.

She could only harden her heart and interrupt Yanyan.

"Yanyan, your sister can't come back, but we can let her rest in peace." Yanyan's face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of confusion. "What do you mean?"

Ning Jun could only squat down and hold her shoulders with both hands.

"It means that we should give our sister a home and let her have a good sleep."

Yanyan probably understood. "Just like mom and dad? Falling asleep forever and never waking up?"

In the past, my parents were the same. After a nap, they never woke up again.

Those uncles put Mom and Dad in a very big box and made them sleep in the dirt.

They said that this way mom and dad will sleep comfortably.

But Yanyan doesn't like it. She likes the little windmill her father makes for her and the bracelet her mother makes for her.

But she will never see her parents again.

Now, will she never see her sister again?

"Wow--" Yanyan could no longer control her crying, and Ning Jun almost couldn't hold back her tears.

She was this age when her parents left.

At that time, she didn't know what death was.

But the sympathetic eyes of those people often appeared in her nightmares.

Yanyan is just a child, so naturally she can't handle this matter.

It was Ning Yun who found Dahai and told him about this.

Seeing the blood-stained clothes, Dahe's face was full of disbelief.

"Xiao Xiao, how could she?"

For many years, no wild animals have appeared around the village.

How could she, a child, encounter such an accident?

The clothes were obviously torn very closely by the beast, and Dahe could naturally see it.

"Don't worry, I'll go find the village chief and find a good coffin."

"It's just that," Dahe said, feeling a little embarrassed, "according to the village custom, it's impossible to hold a funeral for a child like Xiaoxiao who died young."

Ning Yun nodded to show his understanding.

After all, this is a game copy. If the funeral is really to be held, it will take several days to complete. How can the players possibly wait that long?

"Find a coffin for Xiaoxiao and bury her next to her parents."

Dahe moved his lips and finally sighed.

There were not many families in the village, and the village chief was a very old man. He quickly found a coffin for Xiaoxiao.

However, there are not many people who give small gifts.

Dahe was one of them. He explained awkwardly, "Xiaoxiao's parents are both outsiders. They don't have many relatives or friends in the village. They even had conflicts with the village because of some things, so..."

Ning Yun nodded and said nothing more.

Yanyan, who had been following her, hadn't spoken for a long time.

The place where Xiaoxiao's parents were buried was not far from the village.

Daha and another person lifted the small coffin, and they were silent all the way.

In the coffin, there were only torn red clothes and the blood-stained bracelet, and it was not heavy.

Because the coffin was small, the hole didn't need to be too big, and the two of them finished it quickly.

The other young man looked at the two coffins and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ning Jun took out a few cans of yellow peaches, a few apples, and a bunch of bananas from his backpack and placed them quietly in front of the grave.

"I don't know if you like it or not, but I don't have anything else on hand."

"I hope that you three can still be a family in your next life."

Ning Jun lowered his head silently and bowed.

Then he looked at Yanyan who was silent beside him and said, "Reunite with your parents in heaven."

Da He was standing nearby, asking curiously, "Who are you talking to? Is there anyone there?"
