On the TV, the strange-looking host disappeared in a flash.
The black and white picture turned into a nostalgic snowflake shape.
There was a strange light shining outside.
Yi Lin's heart moved and she quickly opened the window.
In the deep blue night sky, countless stars were seen, shining like phosphorescence in the ocean.
Yi Lin's pupils shrank slightly.
His expression suddenly became serious.
If it was an ordinary night scene with ordinary stars, even if the stars spread out a few Milky Ways in the sky and formed three circles on the left and three circles on the right of the human body, Yi Lin would not show such an expression.
The point is not here.
Rather.
"What's this?"
Yi Lin slowly stretched out her hand toward the window and "grabbed" the stars outside the window.
The stars in the sky were as close as fireflies. One of the small stars flickering was held in Yi Lin's hand.
There was obviously no real touch in Yi Lin's hands, but there was a strange warmth in the tightly clenched palm, and a shimmer of light shone between the fingers, as if there was really a star, which was touched by Yi Lin.
Hold it in your hand.
"This is unscientific."
"Aren't the so-called stars the images formed by the light reflected from stars by other planets in the universe?"
Yi Lin let go of her hand.
The "star" floated into the night sky again and soon disappeared.
Old stars fade away, and new stars continue to rise.
The scene in front of you is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Yilin suddenly had the urge to use [Grasp of Annihilation] to explode.
See if you can make any changes.
But after thinking for a moment, Yi Lin decided to give up the idea.
Yilin quickly picked up stars one after another.
Obviously.
The small town is filled with countless stars, both like an illusion and yet not an illusion.
Bang bang bang.
There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Brother Yi Lin, open the door, open the door."
It's Xing Fei.
When Xing Fei rushed in, he was about to say something when he saw the window wide open and countless stars shining outside. He swallowed his words and said instead: "I was just asking you to open the window and take a look.
"
Yi Lin nodded and remained silent.
Xing Fei's expression was full of vigilance.
After all, no matter how beautiful this scene was, it still made it difficult for him to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
It's really weird.
After Yi Lin opened the door, she ignored the nervous Xing Fei, with a calm expression, admiring the starry sky.
Outside the window.
The town was filled with a festive atmosphere. Many couples went out hand in hand, admiring the starry scenery with joyful faces. It was very peaceful.
"It's rare."
Yi Lin suddenly felt emotional.
Xing Fei was stunned: "What's rare?"
"I mean, you can see this kind of scenery during the trial."
Xing Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you still in the mood to admire the stars?"
Yi Lin stretched out his hand again and grabbed a handful outside the window. He clenched his fists, unclenched them, and clenched them again, having a great time. He said at the same time: "What else? Anyway, no blood will be lost, so it's not a bad thing.
.”
Xing Fei pushed the frame of the mirror and was speechless.
It seems to make sense!
So he also squeezed to the window, imitated Yi Lin's actions, and fished it out of the window.
The "stars" within reach are a rare experience for everyone.
It's a pity that this beautiful scenery did not last long.
in the room.
The sound of rustling snowflakes still echoed.
But outside the window.
The stars in the sky suddenly disappeared.
Very suddenly.
The little starlight suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The sky became dark again.
In a small town.
The residents who were having fun were quite unhappy, but they had no choice but to go back. Those who should climb over the wall, those who should climb through the windows, those who should read the script, read the script, and those who should watch the football, everyone went back to their homes.
, or someone else’s house.
Yi Lin flipped her palm, crushed the [Blood Jasmine] card, and used telekinesis to levitate it outside the window.
From an angle that Xing Fei could not see, Yi Lin quickly and secretly summoned Bai Xiaoyi.
"Shh-"
Yi Lin raised her index finger.
Bai Xiaoyi understood instantly. At the critical moment, she was still very reliable and flew silently into the night sky.
Yi Lin quickly switched to Bai Xiaoyi's field of vision.
"Bai Xiaoyi" squinted his eyes and stared at the sky around him.
In the distance, there is still a thick fog, making it impossible to see the farthest distance.
but.
in a certain direction.
In the dark sky.
Under the mist, there was a very dark crack.
This scene is a bit like the sky being torn open by that crack.
If you look more carefully, it's not too similar, it seems like it's just a distorted fog.
"what happened?"
Xing Fei watched in confusion as the beautiful scenery of stars disappeared before his eyes, and couldn't help but ask.
And at this moment.
Yi Lin and Xing Fei froze slightly in their movements.
Not for anything else.
Just because, the long-awaited plot reminder, due to the strange changes in the town, finally came too late.
【Welcome to vacation paradise, dream town, Green Town.】
[Legend has it that a ‘Green Festival’ occurs here every year. 】
【Dream scenes you have never seen before will be staged here. 】
【Everything is available here.】
【You can have everything.】
【Everyone takes maternity leave in town if they dare.】
Yi Lin: "?"
Xing Fei: "???"
[This year, five tourists accidentally broke into this dream town.]
[As tourists, you will discover the most twisted truth hidden in a peaceful town.]
【Wish you all a wonderful night.】
[The main mission is now released: Kill Green. Mission time limit: before the end of the Green Festival. Mission completed and returned to the real world. Reward: Unknown.]
Xing Fei lowered his head, as if he was carefully considering the task prompts.
Any apostle who can survive several trials will probably not ignore the message hidden in the initial prompt.
Even the most seemingly useless hints may affect a major judgment.
But……
Xing Fei was helpless.
This prompt seems to be meaningless, right?
While Xing Fei was thinking about the task prompts, Yi Lin had already finished looking around and quickly put away the short-lived Bai Xiaoyi.
Before Bai Xiaoyi disappeared, she pouted unhappily, as if she hated her master's ruthlessness.
When Xing Fei raised his head, Yi Lin had already put away the blood jasmine again, as if nothing had happened.
"This mission is a bit weird, isn't it? Who is Green?"
Xing Fei was silent for a moment and finally said something nonsense.
Yi Lin smiled and did not deny it.
indeed.
Green Town, Green Festival, Green Mascot... Kill Green?
Who is Green?
At first glance, it seems to be just a main quest to kill a certain "boss".
But in fact, is it really that simple?
Especially after experiencing the wonder of the sky full of stars not long ago, Yi Lin would not think so.
"have no idea."
Yi Lin said.
Xing Fei nodded, no surprise.
because……
He doesn't know either.
If everyone doesn't know about it, it seems like they are all on the same starting line, which is very reassuring.
There is nothing to discuss next.
I don’t know why, but I just can’t figure it out through discussion.
and.
Xing Fei is still in the men's room.
In the middle of the night, a man and a man alone, let alone spreading the news, even if it spread downstairs, it would make the two of them unable to argue and never be innocent again.
Xing Fei walked out of Yi Lin's room angrily.
Before leaving, I didn’t know whether it was an exhortation or a request. I just said: “If you find any special discoveries, please contact us.”
"clear."
Yi Lin said with a smile.
As for whether you understand clearly or not, only each of you can understand.
After Xing Fei left, Yi Lin closed the door tightly and took out the [Compass from the Heart] from the storage space to prepare her emotions.
Think about your heart's desire first.
Then think of the main mission.
Think of "Green" again.
Kill...Grimm.
Yi Lin opened her eyes.
The pointer on the compass was spinning crazily. The rotation was so large that it seemed as if just opening the glass cover of the compass would make the pointer go up to the sky.
Yi Lin: "...?"
"The compass is broken? Impossible."
This is an epic prop.
But Yi Lin casually knocked the compass on the ground a few times.
Useless.
The pointer is still pointing randomly.
"Is it still an old question? I don't know who Green is, so I can't find out? Isn't that true? Now that we know it is 'Green', the concept is very clear. Logically speaking, the compass should be able to guide 'Green' out of the world.
direction."
"Unless Green is not here."
"Or maybe Green is somewhere where the compass cannot point?"
Yi Lin quickly speculated on the main mission.
Frowning, Yi Lin reluctantly put away the compass.
It would be comfortable if it were really that easy to find the mission target.
"It seems that the key to this main mission is not only the 'killing' itself, but also how to find the 'Green'."
Yi Lin closed her eyes and carefully remembered the task prompt clearly in her mind, word for word, and thought about it five times.
Combined with what I saw during the day, a lot of information can indeed be analyzed in the task prompts.
But for now, Yi Lin still can't come to a conclusion.
Staring into the dark night.
Yi Lin was pondering and hesitating.
But in the end, he decided not to move for the time being, silently turned on the old black and white TV, and watched late-night programs.
--wait.
The next day.
Daybreak.
"What was supposed to come, still didn't come."
Yi Lin rubbed his sore eyes, feeling both surprised and not surprised.
Surprisingly, apart from the strange sight of stars in the sky, there were no other changes last night.
What is not surprising is that as the target of the main mission, "Green" would be too cheap if he could be killed so easily and be raped on his own initiative.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, look in the mirror, and take care of your physiological needs. Yi Lin seems to have almost forgotten how long it has been since he got up so calmly during a trial.
Oh, no. When I was playing Elizabeth Lin, I felt quite comfortable for a few days.
In the mirror, Yi Lin, who had stayed up all night, did not leave many traces of haggardness.
When walking out of the room.
Xing Fei, who happened to be going out next door, yawned and looked quite tired.
"Didn't sleep?"
Xing Fei curled his lips: "I don't dare."
The two of them went downstairs one after another.
Dududu——
A whistle sounded outside the door.
Downstairs, Judy was walking out the door with a little boy with curly brown hair.
The child lowered his head and clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands.
Judy pulled the child out impatiently and complained as she walked: "Damn it, I went to bed too late last night and almost missed the school bus. Alan, you are so old, don't you know how to get up by yourself? What the hell are you doing?
Your damn-"
suddenly.
Judy shut her mouth.
Allen buried his head deeper.
After putting Allen on the school bus, Judy yawned and prepared to go back to the house for a good night's sleep.
Yi Lin thought for a moment and felt that the timing was good, so she decided to clear her conscience.
"Hey, Judy, your brother is quite cute."
Yi Lin said with a smile, her expression calm and without any trace of reluctance.
Xing Fei on the side almost choked on his spit when he heard this.
Ah this?
Brother Yilin.
Were your eyes blinded by the stars in the sky last night?
With this age gap, it is obvious that they are a mother and son!
Xing Fei looked carefully.
Yi Lin's eyes opened wide and brightly.
It turned out that it was not the eyes that were blind, but the mouth.
ten minutes later.
"Oh, disgusting! Allen is my son!"
"But I can't blame you. Who makes me look so young?"
"It's so annoying. Some people always misjudge Judy's age. Oh, the troubles of beautiful women are always so simple and unpretentious. This damn youth."
Yi Lin and Zhu Di had a great time chatting, very happy.
Judy took a bath and didn't seem to mind the presence of two strange tourists, Yi Lin and Xing Fei. She put on a pair of loose, relatively conservative pajamas, giggling, her flowers trembling, and her white flesh messy.
shake.
Yi Lin said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, you really can't tell at all."
Judy smiled even more happily, but she still complained: "Don't talk nonsense, Judy is not as young as you say. Hey, he is old."
The two had sex again... and chatted for a while.
Xing Fei sat aside and drank coffee silently.
His expression was indifferent.
I feel like I am living like a shining light bulb at this moment, which is very annoying.
Judy is in a happy mood.
She didn't expect that this tourist looked average-looking but a bit fierce. She didn't expect that he would become so handsome when he spent a lot of money and sweetened his mouth.
Thinking of this, Judy crossed her legs.
Yi Lin was chatting about home affairs.
Judy didn't hide anything and told her story very readily.
It turns out that many years ago, Judy was also a young and beautiful girl.
But just as most beauties cannot overcome a hurdle, she met a scumbag that she will never forget.
After being scumbag, Judy turned out to be as bloody as every story about a scumbag man complaining about his daughter. She got pregnant.
But when she wanted to find an honest person to take over the job, she looked over and over, but couldn't find one she liked.
During this delay, my belly grew bigger, so big that I couldn't hide it.
After all, you said you were pregnant with the child of love after four months of marriage... How stupid would you have to be to not see the flaw?
So in the end, as if it were a storyline in a bloody family ethics drama, on a stormy night, the ignorant Judy gave birth to Allen in the town hospital in Green Town with tears and blood.
After giving birth to Allen, Judy originally wanted to throw Allen at the door of the orphanage and then start a new life as if nothing had happened.
But for some reason, looking at the baby's face, she finally decided to raise Allen alone.
Time, like Judy's youth, passed by for a few years until now.
Since Allen was born, Allen's father has never appeared again, and Judy also thinks that his father is dead.
Xing Fei listened to the ethical story without any disturbance in his heart.
Even if this kind of story is placed in the real world, there is no sense of violation.
Unfortunately, now that contraceptive technology is better, such accidental "accidental" pregnancies are rare.
Yi Lin added a few words casually.
Showing empathy...ah, showing enough sympathy.
After spending nearly half an hour and gaining a lot of favorability on Judy, Yi Lin got to the point.
"Judy, I was watching the show yesterday and it said there is an event in town these days, called Green or something?"
"Green Festival."
Judy covered her mouth with a smile and cast a small wink at Yi Lin: "Oh, I think you saw it last night, right? How beautiful it was, but it was a pity that it disappeared after a while."
"What is the Grimm Festival?"
"The Green Festival is the Green Festival. At this time of year, every night, strange things happen in Green Town at night. But over time, people here have become accustomed to it, and it has evolved into a celebration. At this time, everyone celebrates happily."
"Since when?"
"Yesterday." Judy quietly moved closer to Yi Lin.
Yi Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "How long will the Green Festival last?"
"Seven whole days!"
Seven days!
To be precise, it should be seven nights.
Last night was the first night.
Yi Lin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
I understand in my heart.
Key information, get.
At the very least, they have clearly understood the time limit of the task.
The main mission is clearly marked on it, and they must complete the main mission before the end of the Green Festival.
Yi Lin noticed the strangeness in Zhu Di's words, struck while the iron was hot, and continued to obtain information.
"Judy, I'm curious, do you mean the weird things you said last night?"
In fact, Judy originally wanted to say that besides weird things, maybe something else could happen at night...even during the day. But after thinking about it carefully, Judy still suppressed the idea of something happening.
"Hehe, what happened last night was a small matter."
Yi Lin was slightly startled.
Xing Fei was stunned.
Little things?
The view of the sky full of stars last night was actually a small matter?
Wouldn’t that big “weird thing” be going to heaven?
Could it be that this is the real difficulty of this trial?
The first night was just a warm experience for the five apostles to feel the warmth of the festival and the care from the tower. Next, is the time to actually die?
A series of thoughts came to Xing Fei's mind.
Before the two of them could ask questions, Judy counted the so-called "strange things about the Green Festival" on her fingers.
"Sometimes, some strange creatures will appear. Sometimes, it will snow suddenly. Sometimes, the whole town will be filled with strange insects. There are even weirder ones..." At this point, Judy's tone
After a change, it became a bit more spooky, like telling a ghost story: "People who were already dead suddenly came back to life in the Grimm Festival."
Xing Fei suddenly shivered, as if the surroundings suddenly became cold.
Yi Lin's expression remained unchanged and she asked again: "Doesn't anyone take care of this weird thing?"
Judy chuckled: "Who cares? The only policeman in the town, Old Brown, is drunk all day long. He only wakes up at noon. Besides, nothing happened."
"Is this okay?" Xing Fei pushed his glasses hard to the bridge of his nose and pressed them tightly, as if he was afraid that the glasses would fall off accidentally.
"Oh. So you're still here." Xing Fei, who had been acting as a little lightbulb, finally spoke. Judy then turned her attention to Xing Fei and said with a smile: "Whether it's a weird creature, or an insect, or
Other strange things, even dead people who have come to life, will disappear as soon as dawn comes, without exception."
night.
Strange things.
Green Festival.
Yi Lin quickly sorted out the clues from Judy's mouth.
This town gave Yi Lin an increasingly weird feeling.
Of course, this kind of weirdness has become a daily routine in the trials of the other world.
It's not surprising that it's not their turn for the apostles to come and conduct cruel trials involving life and death in the scene.
The end.
Yi Lin knocked from the side for a while. Judy, as an ordinary citizen, had limited knowledge, and they could not come up with any more information about the "Green Festival".
At this time.
Yi Lin asked another thing: "Judy, do you know who is named 'Green' in this small town?"
When Xing Fei heard this, he quickly sat up straight.
This question should have been asked long ago!
He could hardly wait to know the answer.
But.
Is it really that simple?
"Yes, I have."
To Xing Fei's surprise, Judy thought for a while and nodded decisively.
"who?"
"The host of the TV station in town seems to be...called Green."
Yi Lin suddenly remembered the program that accidentally flashed on the old TV last night.
"Is it the host with weird facial features and a big mouth?"
"Yes, that's him!"
Yi Lin and Xing Fei looked at each other.
Could it be that the host named Green is the mission target?
A goal that even an ordinary young housewife knows... is it so easy?
Xing Fei was worthy of being a spiritual apostle, and he immediately noticed the strangeness in it.
The two communicated secretly and decided not to delay any longer and first go to the town TV station to find out about the host named "Green".
Regardless of whether it's the goal of the main mission, you can't just let it go.
Before leaving.
Yi Lin Zhengyi refused Judy's invitation and asked to sit down for a while and have a good communication.
But he thought about it, maybe there would be some use for Judy in the trial, so he threw out another wad of banknotes and said he would stay here for a few days, so don't worry.
When Judy saw a wad of banknotes, she immediately beamed and expressed her gratitude.
Yi Lin passed by the inner door of Judy's house and suddenly her eyes froze.
There is a paper basket beside the door.
In the paper basket, there was a pile of paper that had been crumpled into a ball.
certainly.
Paper is not the point.
The reason why Yi Lin suddenly stopped was because he saw a faint black air surrounding the paper ball.
——[Resentment].
Very light, very light, almost unnoticeable.
But because during this period, Yi Lin had just unlocked a new skill, and was very sensitive to this kind of black energy that represented all kinds of weirdness, so she glanced at it and fell in his eyes.
He picked up the ball of paper from the wastebasket, smoothed it carefully, and spread it out.
It was a piece of drawing paper torn in half and crumpled into a ball.
On the drawing paper, it looks like a child's graffiti, filling the paper randomly.
On the dark blue background, countless small dots were made on the paper with a yellow crayon.
Xing Fei also came over.
Not sure why.
What is this painting about?
Abstract art?
Stream of consciousness?
fauvism?
To be honest, this kind of painting cannot be done without the painting skills of more than ten years, or the cerebral thrombosis of more than ten years.
"Starry sky?"
Xing Fei was speechless: "How did you know that this painting is a starry sky? Hurry and find Green. Don't forget, there are three of them. Even if it is not the mission target, this may be an important clue. This town
Everyone knows the host, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out. If we get there too late, the clues may be lost."
Yi Lin looked indifferent, nodded, but quietly put the paper away.
He remembered the story told by Judy, and after a brief thought, he guessed who the owner of the painting was.
But now I don’t have time to ask in detail.
After all, Xing Fei was right, the host named "Green" might be a key figure connected to the main mission.
"By the way, Judy, when will the tourist line that usually comes to town come?"
"Specialized line?" Unexpectedly, Judy looked confused when she heard this: "Where can we get a dedicated tourist line in our town?"
Xing Fei's face changed slightly, and he felt a chill on his back.
"Walk."
Yi Lin already had a preliminary idea in her mind.
He no longer delayed, fully demonstrated his speed as an "agile side" apostle, and quickly left the Judy Hotel.
"Hey! You should take care of the spiritual apostle!"
After receiving a lot of information from Judy, before he had time to digest and be surprised, Xing Fei followed Yi Lin closely, fearing that he would be left behind.
About twenty minutes later.
They came to a TV station with an old architectural style.
