After the hero selection, the town regained its calm.

Because the sanitation workers were dismantled into parts, no one cleaned up the town.

So early the next morning, the enthusiastic and kind-hearted townspeople went out to clean up the blood on the streets and restore the town to a tidy place.

At this time, there are still three days before the end of the game.

Jiang Ying stood by the window, watching several townspeople scoop up the ground meat with shovels, and put them into the big sack beside them.

At first he thought that they were going to pack up the minced meat and transport it to a certain place for centralized processing.

But it wasn't long before he realized he had made a mistake.

At noon, one of the townspeople called and called for a van.

He took a grill out of the car and set it up by the side of the road.

After carefully washing the minced meat cleaned up in the morning with clean water, several people sat on the side of the road and began to drink beer and eat barbecue.

There were a lot of people having dinner together, and there wasn't enough meat in the sack.

They went to the road to pick up some severed limbs, washed them and continued to bake them.While roasting, haven't forgotten to sprinkle cumin and paprika.

Jiang Ying: ...

He now suspects that the quick-frozen dumplings they ate these days may not be stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Fortunately, during the hero selection, many people were killed in this street.Otherwise, he was worried that this group of people would use local ingredients and randomly select a lucky ingredient from the diners.

Many people died in the building where Jiang Ying lived.

Those people came to clean up the human body parts in the residential building after eating the barbecue.

One of them knocked on the door of Jiang Ying's house and asked him friendly through the door: "Is anyone there? Is there anyone dead in your house? Do you need our help?"

Seeing that no one answered, he shouted again: "The door of your house is broken. It can be said that the situation is terrible. Do you want to get a new one? There should be a good anti-theft door nearby. We can remove it for you.At your door."

Jiang Ying didn't say anything.

Seeing that no one opened the door, the man knocked on the door a few times, and then went to clean up the corpses in the next room with his friends.

Through the door, Jiang Ying could vaguely hear the conversation of several people.

"Who is so immoral, throwing things at the door, I stepped on it and almost fell!"

"This is...lung? You can eat couple's lung slices at night."

"Probably not, the owner seems to be living alone."

Jiang Ying:?

In the follow-up, some residents gradually joined in the purification activities of the town on their own initiative.

The town cleanup was carried out for two days, and on the evening of the eighth day, the town was restored to cleanliness.

During the period, the community property also provided door-to-door repair services, and replaced Jiang Ying with a new anti-theft door for free.

From time to time, Jiang Ying would stand by the window and watch the NPCs below.

Watching them clean the blood-stained streets until they are spotless.

Just like the bloody days before.Butcher.Kill, never appeared.

On the penultimate day, the voice of the mayor came again on the radio.

He announced that the clean-up activities in the town are over, and the hero blessing ceremony will begin at 9 pm today.

"This is the annual grand celebration of Hero Town. There are beautiful songs, sexy and charming dances, high-quality and cheap goods and special food for the festival! Most importantly, there are the greatest and most honest people in the town.hero!"

"All townspeople, please be there on time."

"Participation in this event is mandatory, and we will send special patrols from the town to patrol the town to ensure that everyone is present."

Before he finished speaking, a few strange cat meows sounded in the background, which made one's scalp tingle.

When the radio sounded, Jiang Ying was arguing with the property owner.

The owner of the convenience store was stuffed into the refrigerator by Jiang Ying, because he hadn't shown up for a long time, which aroused the suspicion of the property owner.

During the hero selection process, the property team with only two people who were killed came over to ask what was going on.

After listening to their questions, Jiang Ying explained, "I'm his new clerk, and I just moved into the town with my children. I don't have a house, and the boss saw me as pitiful, so he took us father and son in."

Holding Jiang Yingda.Legs, the boy hiding behind him and looking out, nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ying showed a sad expression: "Boss, he dedicated his life for the birth of a hero. I don't want him to rot and smell outside, so I put him in the refrigerator for preservation."

"He's frozen in the freezer now, do you want to see it?"

The two staff members looked at each other in dismay. After seeing the broken body in the refrigerator, they completely dispelled their doubts and believed in Jiang Ying's words.

After seeing off the staff, Jiang Ying slammed the door shut.

Xia Shining, who had been hiding in the bedroom, came out with a complicated expression.

She looked at the broken corpse on the ground, then at Jiang Ying who was rubbing her head, and asked hesitantly, "I didn't understand what you were talking about just now."

"It's normal, I don't know what I'm talking about, anyway, they believe it."

After finishing speaking casually, Jiang Ying opened the alliance lobby app and checked her curse level.

After confirming that it was still moderate, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It may be because he has been very nervous during this period of time and has seen too many bloody scenes, which caused the curse to have a stronger influence on Jiang Ying, and he would feel headache and nausea from time to time.

This is not a good sign.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the old player will face-to-face. If he loses the chain at that time, the old player will probably kill Xia Shining, Xiao La and Qin Huo.

Then capture him alive and give it to the superhumans outside as a gift.

In order to suppress the 'mental abnormality', Jiang Ying took out a strong mental potion from her backpack, rolled up her sleeves and injected herself.

Seeing this, Xia Shining quickly stopped her: "Didn't you say that the mental potion would cause memory problems?"

Jiang Ying said casually: "A small amount of injection has no effect. My mental level is too low, only D. I can feel that the curse on my body is about to escalate. I must take a few injections."

Qin Huo lay on his back, tilting his head to watch his movements.

He found that Jiang Ying was very skillful in injecting medicine, as if before entering the game, he would often inject some kind of medicine into himself.

A strange thought suddenly floated in Qin Huo's mind.

When he was a child, people in the laboratory injected him with medicine every day.His two arms are always covered with dense pinholes.

He wondered whether Jiang Ying would be like him, who was also full of fear of pinholes.

After Jiang Ying finished the injection, Qin Huo put his arms around his neck and gently rubbed his cheek.

They are really alike.

They all suffered from pain in their childhood, they all injected drugs frequently, and at the same time belonged to the camp of the Future Alliance.

Although one is a player and the other is an experimental subject.

Qin Huo felt that the two could be destined to such an extent, he and Jiang Ying were really a match made in heaven, good friends.

————

After injecting the medicine, Jiang Ying's condition improved a lot.

After closing the doors and windows and finalizing the final plan, he began to coax the children to play.

Xia Shining was very nervous, she couldn't hold back her aloofness, and paced back and forth in the room.

After strolling around for a few laps, Xia Shining called Jiang Ying who was riding a horse to stop, and asked her the most concerned question.

"Why didn't the mayor directly send someone over to arrest us? Isn't this faster and more convenient?"

Jiang Ying put down Qin Huo, who was stiff all over, and replied casually: "His comprehensive score is similar to mine. At least in his opinion, I should be able to draw with him. Who do you think he sent over, capable of capturing me alive?"

Xia Shining thought for a while: "Do you have to capture him alive?"

"The old player's power to control the NPCs in the town was given to him by superhumans. To superhumans, he is just a handy puppet, and it won't have much impact if he is replaced."

Jiang Ying paused, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

"There is a superhuman outside the town who likes me very much. He insists on me. In his heart, I must be more important than the mayor. If the mayor kills me, the superhuman will probably take away his management rights."

"With his power taken away, the mayor can no longer command the npcs in the town. The cat-headed monsters in his house will tear him to pieces immediately. Of course, this is not absolute. After my death, superhumans may notTake it out on the mayor, but the mayor doesn't dare to gamble with his life."

The NPCs in Xinshou Village are not as good as him. It is difficult to catch him without guns, but it is easy to kill people with guns.The monster is stronger than him, but the monster is not easy to control.

What superhumans want is a alive and kicking Jiang Ying, not a half-dead Jiang Ying who has been gnawed with missing arms and legs.

Participation in the Hero Blessing event is mandatory, and the cat meowing sounded on the radio was a warning to the players.

Through the broadcast, he asked the remaining three players a multiple-choice question.

A: If you don't participate in the ceremony, there is a high probability of being eaten by monsters.

B: Participating in the ceremony, there is a high probability of falling into the set trap.

The superhuman watched everything in the town the whole time, and the mayor wanted to pick himself out by doing this.

If Jiang Ying chooses A, she will be killed by monsters.

That has nothing to do with the mayor, he didn't send monsters to kill Jiang Ying.He just followed the rules and ordered the monster to patrol the town, and it was Jiang Ying who wanted to die.

If Jiang Ying chooses B, he will use the traps he has already set up to capture him alive and kill other players.

The mayor's little abacus was rattling, he hoped that Jiang Ying would choose A, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Jiang Ying lowered her eyes and thought for a while.

His overall score is B, Xia Shining and Xiao La are C.

Qin Huo is only four years old, but he has mastered two skills.And he is very obedient and sensible, and will never hold back.

The town is a novice dungeon. After eliminating the monsters, the overall strength of the npcs does not exceed D.

The gap in the lineup lies here. As long as the statue doesn't wake up and doesn't come out to make trouble, this game is a sure win.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ying frowned slightly.

He suddenly remembered one thing.

"I love physics" asked Doudou about the awakening of the statue.And Doudou is a fixed npc, appearing in the middle school of the small town every day.

That being the case, would the old player who played the role of the mayor also know about this?

Hey, he doesn't want to wake up the statue, does he?

————

At 8:45, Jiang Ying came to the central square with her backpack on her back.

On the right side of the hero statue, a gorgeous stage is set up.

There are hot songs on the stage, and several sexy female dancers are dancing hip-hop on it.

Across from the stage is a row of booths.

Because the signboard has a uniform appearance, there are many types of stalls but not messy.

There is a large area between the stage and the booth, and there are movable and simple stands made of metal inside, which are specially prepared auditoriums.

Jiang Ying came early, before the celebration started.

He walked around the stage first, but found nothing unusual.

I didn't see anything suspicious at the celebration booth, but there were quite a few good things.

Jiang Ying went to the shooting booth and darts before playing two games, and got a wind-up frog and a singing plush toy bear.

He stuffed everything into his backpack and prepared to give it to Qin Huo.

At the jewelry booth, I bought two boxes of hair ropes.One box for myself, one box for Xia Shining.

There is also the wristband that Xiao La has always wanted.

When choosing the wristband, Jiang Ying sighed silently.

Although saving Xiao La at the beginning was just a matter of course, after getting along for a while, he found that Xiao La is honest and sincere, and he is very suitable to be a friend.

If Xiao La is not an npc...

Jiang Ying shook her head and put the matter behind her.

He put the wristband in his pocket as a parting gift for Xiao La.

As time went to nine o'clock in the evening, the lively singing and dancing on the stage stopped.

The townspeople who were shuttling between the booths gathered in the center of the square and sat down in an orderly manner in the auditorium.

Jiang Ying sat in the last row and glanced down.

The number of townspeople present today is obviously much less than that of the justice execution on the first day.It can be seen that many people died in the hero selection in the past few days.

Xia Shining sent a new message, and Jiang Ying looked at her phone while eating ice cream.

A: "How are you doing over there?"

Xia Xia: "We have already found out the specific location of the broadcasting room and the mayor's office. Your son is such a young genius. Just now, Xiao La didn't have time to put his tail back, and was almost discovered. He reacted faster than me, and directly sent Xiao LaIt was pulled away by the tail without being seen by the security guards patrolling the building."

Jiang Ying pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows proudly.

Some people praised his son as a genius.

Xia Xia: "My God, he still has skills. He hypnotized the npc on duty in the monitoring room through the iron gate, and now the monitoring room is under our control! Brother Ying, your son is so good, I want it tooSuch a good kid."

Jiang Ying suddenly felt depressed.

He suddenly remembered that Qin Huo was not born by him, but picked up by him, and he would return it to the child's parents sooner or later.

This is not a permanent character, but an experience card.

Originally, Jiang Ying handed Qin Huo over to the two dogmen, thinking that most of the old players had set traps in the central square.The mayor's main target was him, a B-level player.

After he handed Laolaoling to Xia Shining, Qin Huo followed those two people, which was safer than following him.

But after chatting with Xia Shining for a while, the more Jiang Ying looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Although those two people are both C-level, their infiltration skills are in a mess.

The monitoring requires the boy to remind, and the tail needs the boy to help pull.When encountering an enemy in a blind spot, the boy was the first to issue an early warning.

Qin Huo followed them, like a king with two idiots.

This is no longer a simple word 'genius', it can be explained.

Suspicion rose in Jiang Ying's heart for two seconds, and then quickly disappeared.

who cares.

The child likes to rub against him so much that he sleeps in his arms every day.

Their feelings are real.

————

At 9:03, Jiang Ying received a private message from 'Xia Xia'.

Xia Xia: "The mayor and his secretary leave the building, and they will reach the central square in two minutes."

Jiang Ying replied OK to Xia Shining.

He contacted 'I Love Physics' in the afternoon but got no response.

It is estimated that it was caught by an old player.

Jiang Ying was still in deep thought, when the crowd in front of her suddenly burst into enthusiastic shouts.

He looked up and saw that two men and one woman walked to the central statue, and the leading middle-aged man stood on the stage and tapped the microphone lightly.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ying's familiar voice came from a nearby loudspeaker.

"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies. I am your mayor. Welcome to today's hero blessing ceremony."

After Jiang Ying ate the ice cream in a few mouthfuls, she secretly clenched the gun at her waist, ready to fight at any time.

But the old players did nothing.

He delivered a lengthy speech so earnestly that one fell asleep.

After the speech was over, he called up another man and began to introduce the heroic deeds of the heroes of the new town to the audience.

The ominous premonition in Jiang Ying's heart became more and more intense. He tapped the gun stock with his fingertips irritably, and his eyes fell on the central statue unconsciously.

I don't know if he was delusional, but the originally blurred features of the statue seemed to be much clearer than the first day he saw it.

No matter what the old players are thinking, Jiang Ying can't wait any longer.

At the same time, Xia Shining, who was hiding in the radio room, received a message from Jiang Ying.

A: "The statue seems to be waking up. The situation has changed. Get ready."

Xia Shining quickly took out the Laolo bell and turned on all the speakers in the town.

After Jiang Ying observed the situation and uttered the word "hands-on" at the right time, a melodious and pleasant bell sounded from various radios in the streets of the town, covering the whole town.

The spiritual attack 'Sleep' contained in the voice made the whole town fall into a deep sleep.

The townspeople who were listening to the speech closed their eyes one after another, and the old players on the stage staggered two steps, holding on to the stage with difficulty.

He raised his head and looked around in surprise, his eyes finally fell on Jiang Ying.

Men's mental level is obviously higher than that of townspeople.

Although his body was sluggish and his consciousness was blurred, he did not immediately fall into a coma.

Jiang Ying raised her gun, narrowed her eyes and aimed at the mayor's head.

The moment the two looked at each other, the mayor suddenly chuckled: "With such a good item in hand, I guessed right, you are not a new player."

Jiang Ying always felt that something would happen if he continued to babble.

He didn't wait for the mayor to finish speaking, and pulled the trigger directly.

The bullet flew out, and the mayor swayed to avoid the bullet.

Jiang Ying was wondering what kind of trap the old player had set up.

At this moment, he saw the mayor take out a copper whistle from his pocket and blow it hard a few times.

Immediately, on his face, there was a smile of winning.

He had seen the details of the statue at the pet breeding base.

'Curse·Psycho-Statue' will only appear in crowded places, and it will move to other locations after the surrounding creatures die.

He learned a piece of information from Doudou.

He suspects that the statue is actually alive and needs to eat.

The statue probably feeds on something like the energy, life, or spirit of the creature.

When food is plentiful, it falls into a deep sleep.Once food is scarce, it will wake up.

Now all the residents in the town are concentrated in the central square, and his cat-headed monsters can be slaughtered quickly.Kill all townspeople.

When all the townspeople were dead, he would use the self-destruct device already installed in the mechanical bug to blow up the monsters wandering in the town.

Although he couldn't kill the people and stray dogs in the pet breeding base, but these people were no longer enough to keep the statue.

When the statue wakes up, the superhumans outside the town will be busy capturing the statue, and all new players present will die at the hands of the statue.

And he has a few cards to save his life, and he is confident that he can escape the attack of the statue.

After 0 o'clock, when the tenth day came, he successfully left the town.

After blowing the whistle, the man waited for a while, but there was no cat-headed monster.

He hesitated for two seconds, then blew a few more times.

Jiang Ying looked at him blankly.

I don't understand why this guy keeps blowing the whistle.

He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Are you waiting for your cat? Kill those monsters that 'I'll oil me'?"

The old player didn't say a word, still blowing his whistle persistently.

Jiang Ying glanced at the broadcast that was still ringing non-stop, and raised the corners of her lips at the old player.

"Your kittens are sleeping soundly now, stop bragging, it's game time for players."
