  Chapter 128, Chapter 126, "Homecoming"

[Five minutes ago]

After Su Mingan puts on [Wang Han's Human Skin Mask], he immediately moved towards the mayor's house in the memory.

He expected the situation to be more difficult.

…To save the good players who stayed, he needs to ask the NPC for help.

He is close to the mayor’s house. Outside the main branch of the town, there are tall walls and heavy solid wood gates. Opened windows. He stepped forward, was about to knock on the door, and watched as the door in front of him suddenly opened.

"Squeak—"

Some dull voice sounded, and the benevolent mayor leaned on the dragon-head cane and looked at him with a smile.

It seems like I've been waiting here a long time ago.

"Ah..." The mayor's words confirmed his guess. The old man smiled so that his wrinkles were squeezed into a ball. He looked amiable, like a patriarch who cared for his children: "You It's finally here."

His words were very gentle, even with a sense of involuntarily closeness.

Su Mingan was very vigilant—he remembered that the mayor Mitchell’s favorability from start to finish remained the same. He didn’t even hear a system hint, so that he didn’t even Know what the other party’s initial favorability is.

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

……

"……My dear child, Po Inside."

...

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

He suddenly heard the system hint:

[Due to wearing special props (Wang Han's human skin mask), the NPC will recognize your identity. 】

[NPC (Mayor of Mitchell Terry Town), has identified you as (son of Pori Mitchell’s early death)]

[Note: Please try not to deviate from Mitchell's approval within the sight range, otherwise, the favorability will drop drastically and accidents will happen! 】

[Current Mitchell favorability: 80 points (family)]

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

As early as the first day, when the mayor saw his Avatar, he said that he was like his child, Boli, who died young.

However, the system hints that Boli has passed away early...The mayor behaves like Boli has just returned home.

Hearing his response, the mayor's smile seemed to be stronger. He changed the leading cane to his left hand, extended the hand tremblingly, and wanted to give Su Mingan.

Su Mingan can only accompany him in this "father and son filial piety" scene. He supports Mitchell and crosses the threshold with him.

He felt a little moist on his face.

...it's raining again.

The door behind him slammed shut with a "bang", with the strange chill of spring. Through the sudden rain, he saw the two red lanterns hanging at the door in front of the house swaying in the rainstorm, shining scarlet light in a hazy, like a pair of wild beast eyes.

The mayor’s somewhat resentful voice came from around him:

"You are finally back... Boli, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Forget about when you left..."

"..." Su Mingan didn't know the situation, and the clues were limited. He couldn't guess why Boli left and didn't say a word.

But combined with the term "death early", the real Boli may have died on the way away long ago.

"In the beginning, when you were about to leave, I advised you that the gods will not forgive the betrayed child. The journey is far away and the mountains and mountains are too long for you. However, Now that you are back... Then everything is fine, stop for a while, I will take you to the Lord God to make atonement..."

Listening to the mayor's next words, Su Mingan vaguely understood. The reason why he left at the beginning.

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

He saw the mayor suddenly throw it in, a little stagnant through the raindrops. Look in the eyes.

"...Did you find it?" the mayor asked.

The two men stopped in front of the door.

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

Su Mingan supported the old man's body and helped him up the steps in front of him.

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

……

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

[Current Favorability Evaluation: Passionate]

...

Mitchell's smile seems more real.

He extended the hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Squeak--"

The girl with braids opened the door, and when her big beautiful eyes looked over, the bottom of her eyes was as clear as the sea, sky and lake.

...Jasmine.

Su Mingan will not be surprised to see her.

In fact, in the system hint, he had already noticed that the description-"She fell into the coffin", most likely refers to Jasmine.

Then, follow the clue II·The tablet position in the meeting room. Those two tablets... It is very likely that they belong to her.

[Go to her tablet, go to where she is still alive. 】

The task reminder said that the first half of the sentence seemed to be dead, and the second half of the sentence seemed to be alive.

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

"Father, this is..." Jasmine's eyes stopped at Su Mingan for a moment, then moved away.

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

The mayor seemed to be very emotional, and his eyes became more eager.

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

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

"Hello...Come in first." Jasmine nodded to him restrainedly, then retracted her head, opened the door, and let Su Mingan in.

And at the moment of entering the door.

Su Mingan suddenly realized something.

-He didn't hear... Jasmine, like the mayor, gave him a system hint of why he was an NPC.

-Jasmine saw through his disguised identity.

But instead of piercing, she 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 back-off, he didn't want to always feel the feeling of death.

He has always been very vigilant about the "sin" girl in this system hint.

Entering, he smelled a faint fragrance burning in the room.

White mist wafted from the stove, and he sat down at the table, and he saw the two tablets placed beside him as if staring at a guest.

The writing above is still fuzzy.

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

...very weird.

"Boli, you are coming back this time..." The mayor seemed to start a long talk again.

Su Mingan thought of his purpose and spoke first: "The mayor."

He met the other party's gloomy eyes in the tea mist.

He instantly changed his words: "...father."

The mayor's expression eased.

Su Mingan suddenly realized—maybe the mayor did not completely think of him as his child Boli.

When he showed a little deviation, the other's eyes were gloomy and shocked for a moment.

Mayor Mitchell, like a person immersed in his own fantasy, wandering in the near-fragmented illusion, once the facts happen beyond his will, he will be unable to control himself.

Mitchell seems to be hypnotizing himself, forcibly identifying him as the "returning child".

Su Mingan probably knows how to talk.

"Father." Su Mingan shouted this word that is a little strange to him: "I met many outsiders during this trip."

Chang listened carefully, and Jasmine on the side also remained silent.

"...They have helped me a lot, and some people have a life-saving grace for me." Su Mingan touched the teacup in his hand, paying attention to the other person's expression: "They have been persuading me to return home. ... They said that temporary conflicts are only temporary, but family affection is eternal... They are right, there is nothing you can't sit down and talk about. I was too naive when I left at that time, and I didn't realize my faith at all. The mistake of..."

He lowered his head and sighed slightly: "Master God is right... I shouldn't leave here for my childhood fantasy, this is my home-so I am coming back now Now."

"Father, I will go to redeem my sins, and beg you to take me there." Su Mingan lifts the head again, looking at the gray-haired opposite with an extremely earnest look The old man: "The beliefs in the outside world are all false, and this is where I belong."

After finishing this paragraph, he successfully heard the system prompt:

……

[NPC (Mitchell), Favorability: 90+10]

[Current Favorability Evaluation: True Love]

[Note: The current favorability has reached (family line·highest)]

[Because of (Leader) status, you can make certain requests to the other party. ]

[Note: The highest degree of favorability has pros and cons, please proceed with caution. 】

……

"……Before making atonement for the great gods, I would like to ask you to help me." Su Mingan looked towards gradually becoming eager The old man, opened the mouth and said:

"Those outside travelers were also my partners. I want to...before completing my atonement, temporarily suspend their fight."

...He didn't make a request to destroy the werewolves.

According to the wording of the system hint, these NPCs are limited in their ability to intervene in the fight between players.

They can't intervene in exile, can't intervene in night behavior, because these all are set by invisible rules, like independent of this town.

But... off-court behaviors that exist outside of clear rules, such as fights that take place during the daytime free movement... are completely meddlesome.

Because this is also part of this town.

He only needs to protect the players from the good camp during the daytime and prevent them from getting out of the game due to the direct attack of the werewolves.

The real victory...and wait until the night.

He stared at the mayor's expression, and his expression gradually eased.

"Bori..." The mayor sighed slightly: "After temporarily suspending the fight of those people, did you really atone for the Lord God?"

" Yes." Su Mingan nodded.

He confirmed his guess-Mitchell did not fully recognize him as Pori.

Otherwise, Mitchell would not ask for any reason, what to do after stopping the fight, or even agree to his request without carefully considering the loopholes in his words.

This old man... just wants this "Bori" to follow the gods and satisfy his unfinished regret.

For this he can ignore any uselessness.

Su Mingan noticed that Jasmine's expression on one side was a little gloomy, she stared at him and then looked away.

"...Yes." The mayor nodded, stood tremblingly, and leaned on his leading cane:

"I will temporarily end the daytime battles between travelers... …But what happens later depends on them."

He turned his head and took a deep look at Su Mingan:    "My child." He was like a frozen person from the fire. Bian slowly came over, with blazing heat in his eyes:

"...Wait for me to come back."

The door was pushed open.

The old man ignored the patter of rain and plunged in. His thin figure gradually faded away in the light of the red lantern.

"Squeak—"

Jasmine got up and closed the door, then turned around, her eyes calm as a lake.

Su Mingan originally thought that Jasmine, who saw through his true identity, was going to make trouble. She didn’t expect that she suddenly said:   "Boli."

She called this name. .

Su Mingan vaguely felt something bad.

This kind of bad feeling... He also felt it when he faced Shen Xue, the strange tablemate.

Jasmine stepped forward, supporting the table with both hands. She leaned very close, with a fresh scent of grass in her hair. She was obviously a tired peasant girl, but her skin was white and delicate, and she seemed to be shining when she came closer.

Those clean eyes are mirror-like, and he can even vaguely see himself in them.

"Since you are back..."

Her posture is very strong compared to before. He leaned back slightly, heard her very close voice, and brought a The unquestionable meaning:

"...When are you ready to marry me?"

Su Mingan's scalp is tingling.

He didn't dare to be careless—he had reason to suspect that if he was perfunctory, he might be greeted with a backstab.

... He originally thought that when he arrived in front of the tablet in the living room, he would be able to automatically enter a small single-player copy like the third world’s [Alice in Immortal Realm], system Give him a single specific task.

He looked at the girl who was very close in front of him, with commanding eyes in his eyes.

...but, it seems.

This extremely dangerous single-player copy,

……

—— Has it started unconsciously?
