"No. 11, why does this beef taste weird?" Sherlock said, pointing to the beef in the potato and beef noodles.
"Maybe it has been frozen for a long time and the taste has deteriorated a bit."
"Is that so..." Sherlock said doubtfully.
"That's right!" No. 11 saw this and quickly changed the subject: "Someone sent a ticket for Cindy's tour concert."
"Cindy's tour concert tickets? Who sent them?" Sherlock was no longer obsessed with the two pieces of beef in the bowl at this time.
"The sender's name is Zhang Manyue. Is he a friend of A-Xia's?"
"Zhang Manyue, I don't know him. Could it be that he sent it by mistake?"
"It should be correct. The recipient's name is A-Xia's, and the address is exactly the same."
Sherlock thought for a moment and realized that besides Cindy, no one else would send him such a thing.
It's just that Cindy has not been online since the last time she said goodbye to Dragon's Throat, and he doesn't have the other party's contact information in real life, so there is no way to confirm this matter in a short time.
"What time is it?" Sherlock asked.
"September 14th, the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Then remind me when the time comes." Sherlock said and put on the gaming helmet.
"No way..."
…
Returning to the Forgotten Kingdom, Sherlock opened his eyes and found that he was in a carriage.
"Xiao De, you finally woke up." Trisna was squatting aside, dragging her chin with her hands and looking at him.
"Trisna! Are you okay?" Sherlock asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just that when I woke up after sleeping, I found you all lying on the ground, and the entire Wangyou Town had disappeared."
"Wangyou Town has disappeared?" Sherlock asked in surprise: "Did you encounter anything strange?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's fine if you don't." Sherlock reassured.
In fact, when he thought carefully about it later, he found that none of the six light balls held by the worry-free birds at that time indeed looked like Trisna's.
He originally thought that NPCs and players would be affected differently after being deprived of their desires;
Now seeing Trisna who is safe and sound and Amber and others who are unconscious and whose level has dropped by one level, we know that Trisna may not have been bewitched by Publius.
Is she given special care because she is an NPC?
Or does it mean that there is no strong desire in her heart that can be tempted?
Both of these reasons sound ridiculous, but they are both possible.
Drizzt, a man favored by the plane, his niece's luck is probably not much different.
And among the drow clan who are generally greedy for profit, Trisna is indeed an anomaly, and her alignment is extremely rare and absolutely neutral.
This camp has no concept of good and evil, nor is there any distinction between order and chaos, and its thoughts are often much simpler.
"By the way, have you seen Mu Liuxi? He's the halfling thief who came with you." Sherlock had already discovered that Mu Liuxi was not in the carriage, and he just sent her messages but never replied.
"I didn't see it. I only saw the five of you when I woke up."
Sherlock didn't find Muliuxi last night, and in the end he only saw a ball of light that looked like her, so he really didn't know exactly what happened to her during that time.
However, the other party is a player and it is expected that nothing major will happen. It is more important for him to care about the current situation first.
"Where are we now?" Sherlock asked.
"Shortly after I discovered you, five teachers who claimed to be Tilllands College came over. They should be on their way to the college now." Trisna said uncertainly.
After hearing this, Sherlock walked out of the car. After confirming that the driver was a teacher from Tilllands College, he finally felt relieved and finally had time to check his adventure log.
.
System prompt: You have gained a complete desire for knowledge!
This is the last line in the adventure log.
Sherlock clicked on his task list in disbelief, and saw that among the three task conditions under the 'Recognition of the Book of Truth', 'Collecting a Complete Curiosity for Knowledge' was already in the completed state.
"No way." He flipped through the adventure log all the way up, and combined with the visions presented in the Book of Truth before he fainted, he quickly understood where this 'complete desire for knowledge' came from.
In order to catalyze his thirst for knowledge, Publius laid out such a big plan, but he didn't expect that in the end he would be picked by the Book of Truth.
Moreover, this druid was indeed a good character. After the plan failed, he didn't bother him anymore and just let him pass out.
The task of the Book of Truth, this 'complete desire for knowledge', was the most difficult thing for Sherlock. Unexpectedly, he was the first to complete it in a daze.
Such good luck made him wonder if he was Tymora's illegitimate son.
"Don't worry, Tymora probably doesn't have an ugly illegitimate child like you." Trisna said with a look of disdain.
"How ugly am I..." Sherlock subconsciously wanted to retort, but suddenly remembered that he had not said the words just now.
He thought for a moment and realized that high-level drow elves can read minds: "Trisna!"
"I saw you giggling alone there for a long time, and I just wanted to see what was so funny. I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic." Trisna's smile showed no trace of embarrassment.
Sherlock knew that the other person's moral values were different from those of ordinary people, so he could only advise: "On the surface, it is a very impolite behavior to randomly detect other people's thoughts. It will..."
"Really? I remember that you read the thoughts of three people in succession yesterday, and were discovered by the prophecy mage on the spot." Trisna said teasingly.
"You are still looking!" Sherlock was angry and helpless: "If you look again, I will take action."
“Tarot Cards·Empty!“
An ethereal voice sounded in the carriage, and the card between Amber's fingers turned into a white light and blocked Sherlock: "It is indeed a very impolite behavior to randomly detect other people's thoughts."
"You're awake!" Sherlock said happily. He found that Trisna's mind-reading skills could no longer see through his mind.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Qingxuan also sat up, holding her head.
"Sherlock, you are cheating on me." Ying Lan was about to take action as soon as she opened her eyes, but luckily Qingxuan stopped her with a blow to the head.
"I remember that I was discussing with the people in the village how to deal with the special BOSS on the mountain, and suddenly I fainted." Fanyin said a little depressed, obviously having discovered the fact that he had dropped a level.
"Are the villagers in Wangyou Town okay?" Luo Yu's first concern when he woke up was the safety of the villagers.
Several people were more or less bewitched by Publius. The desires of Ying Lan, Fanyin, Luo Yu and Hu Hu were actually very superficial. Sherlock had already seen it clearly last night.
Only for Qingxuan, a poetess who was as light and unconventional as the world, he initially thought that the other person's desire would be male lust.
But judging from the results of detecting thoughts, it was obvious that the other party easily resisted all kinds of handsome men's kneeling and licking, so why did he lose his level in the end?
Sherlock was curious, but he was not stupid enough to ask. Instead, he started telling what happened last night.
