"Thank you for your rescue. Dear adventurer, please come to Hantan Village when you have time and let me repay your kindness. I will welcome you warmly!" Xiaoyue thanked Zhao Bai before leaving.
room and fled outside.
At this moment, Zhao Bai received a system prompt.
"Ding, you rescued the captured villagers in Hantan Village. Your reputation in Hantan Village has increased by 200 points, and the basic favorability of the villagers in Hantan Village towards you has increased by 10 points!"
"This mission has such additional benefits, and that guy didn't mention it!" Zhao Bai smiled after reading the system prompts.
Reputation is a very important thing and is related to many special tasks.
The higher your reputation, the better special tasks you can obtain.
After rescuing Xiaoyue, Zhao Bai turned over several houses before finding the next woman.
Her reaction was different from Xiaoyue's. When she saw Zhao Bai, her expression was numb.
From her expression, Zhao Bai could already tell that this woman had been violated.
Although he is an NPC in the game, Zhao Bai always feels like he is seeing a real person.
That melancholy, despairing look is so real.
"Hello, I am an adventurer from afar. I have eliminated the bandits here, and you are free!"
The woman whose eyes were already empty and lifeless heard Zhao Bai say this.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Zhao Bai.
"What...what did you say?" she said in disbelief.
"The robbers have been eliminated by me, you are free!"
Zhao Bai said it again. After hearing clearly what Zhao Bai said, the woman said nothing, but two lines of tears fell unconsciously from her eyes.
The air fell into a brief silence.
Three seconds later, the woman suddenly rushed towards Zhao Bai... and pulled out the long sword from his waist!
It's not that Zhao Bai didn't react, but that he never expected such a thing to happen.
Xiaoyue rushed over and cried loudly before, and Zhao Bai thought she was like this too.
Unexpectedly, she came to seize the long sword at his waist.
Before Zhao Bai could say anything, she had already raised her sword and wiped it towards her neck!
Thanks to Zhao Bai's quick eyes and quick hands, he rushed forward in time to snatch the sword back, and a tragedy was avoided.
"Why...why did you stop me..." the woman cried silently with tears.
"You have already been saved, why do you want to commit suicide? There will be a better life waiting for you in the future."
"Saved? Life?" The woman smiled bitterly, "My heart is already dead, how can I be saved? The best rescue you can give me is to give me the opportunity to kill myself! I have no future, please let me
Let me go!”
Zhao Bai could more or less guess the psychological trauma caused to the woman by her previous encounters, and he could also understand her mood at this moment.
But after all, there is a big living person in front of you.
Even if she was seeking death herself, she wouldn't just look at it like this.
At this moment, Zhao Bai received a system prompt.
"Ding, you successfully triggered the special mission [Despair and Hope]!"
[Task Name]: Despair and Hope
[Task content]:
Despair: Agree to Caijia’s request and allow her to commit suicide. (Excellent reward level)
Hope: Give hope to the desperate Caijia and let her fulfill her wish! (Reward level legend)
"Eh?" After reading the mission introduction, Zhao Bai found that he had never checked the hidden missions before. When it came to special missions, it seemed that he had never seen any introduction about this mission at all.
At this time, Zhao Bai recalled the scene where he had just rescued Caijia.
In other words, the player who did the hidden mission in Taluo Village before going back in time failed to save Caijia in time, causing the mission to fail to trigger?
Thinking of this, Zhao Bai felt that it was quite possible.
I took a look at the mission and saw that it was an optional mission.
It can be clearly seen that there is a huge difference in the difficulty of completing the two options.
The first option is extremely difficult and can be easily completed now, but the rewards are also low, so it is only outstanding.
The second option will definitely be a lot more troublesome, but the rewards are legendary, and the best reward Zhao Bai has received so far is epic.
Legendary rewards are obviously rare and good things, especially in the early stages of the game.
Therefore, whether considering human nature or considering maximum benefits, we can only choose the second option.
Follow the system prompts, give her hope, and help her fulfill her wishes, that is to say, she still has any unfulfilled wishes.
Zhao Bai immediately started from this point and began to comfort her: "Don't rush to commit suicide. Most people always have some unfulfilled wishes in their lives. I think you should have it too. Since you have the courage to die, why don't you
How can you fulfill your wish and then choose this final path of despair?"
"Wish?" After hearing what Zhao Bai said, Caijia couldn't help but whisper, and then tears burst into her eyes.
"Yes, what was your wish?"
"I want to take one last look at my husband and children! Just look at them from a distance."
Upon hearing that Caijia really still had a wish, Zhao Bai immediately secretly thought that this would be easy.
"Then put your thoughts aside for a moment and save people to the end. Where is your home? After rescuing other people, I'll take you back to have a look!"
"My name is Caijia and I live in Lousang Village!"
"Okay, Caijia, please rest here for a while and calm down. I'll come find you in a minute!"
After saying that, Zhao Bai looked back at Tongtong. He felt that Caijia cared so much about her husband and children, leaving Tongtong here with her to prevent her from continuing to do stupid things or have random thoughts.
So he immediately said to Tongtong: "Tongtong, please stay with this aunt here for now. My brother will be back soon."
Then he whispered into Tongtong's ear: "This aunt is in a bad mood right now. You need to comfort her more."
Tongtong nodded like a little adult, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, just leave it to Tongtong, I will make auntie happy, but brother must come back soon, I have been away from brother for too long, Tongtong
You’ll be scared.”
Zhao Bai smiled and touched the cute little head of the well-behaved and sensible Tongtong before leaving the room.
Next I looked for a few more houses.
A total of five women were rescued.
They are all women from various nearby villages.
There were several people who were violated, but none of them were as desperate as Caijia.
Thank God for being able to save them.
After everyone thanked Zhao Bai one after another, they ran out of the bandit town.
After searching so many rooms, I still couldn't find Xiaoya.
Zhao Bai took a look and found that there were three houses left that he had not looked for. He thought Xiaoya was among these three houses.
