Zhu Qingrong said, looking at his companions beside him.

Yan Ru, who played the role of mother, understood it and quickly took out a bunch of information from her bag and handed it to Ling Yun. Ling Yun passed several pieces of paper to his companions, and everyone read them carefully without saying a word.

While waiting for everyone, Zhu Qingrong picked up a glass of water from the table, took a few sips and put it back to its original position. He folded his hands in front of his knees. His mature behavior and childish appearance seemed to be in sharp contrast.

Tang Yao noticed that the other three players were always standing respectfully behind Zhu Qingrong; there was obviously room on the sofa next to him, but no one dared to sit down.

It is different from the atmosphere in their own base. Although they also chose Shen Tinglan as the captain, everyone has a harmonious relationship on weekdays, and there is no such class distinction. As for older people with more experience, such as Lin Yuanqi and Hubert. , I didn’t raise any objections to this, and often analyzed task skills with everyone.

For Tang Yao, these people are not only teammates who share life and death, but also close friends.

Zhu Qingrong's team in front of him felt like company leaders and subordinates. Not only that, the other districts they encountered in the last treasure hunt seemed to be like this too.

Lin Yuanqi said that in fact, only a few people are as "free and undisciplined" as his own base.

As the number of players increases, some problems will always arise: for example, different players will band together to form small groups; sometimes for some interests, such as points and props, fights and conflicts will inevitably occur.

In order to unify people's hearts and standardize management, most bases will assign positions according to players' abilities, and the person selected as the base captain also has the most power. Other players can only choose to obey his instructions.

For example, Zhao Zhengxun's dictatorial militarized management in District 5 and the Medley Group taken over by Xiao Yi in District 6 adopt a similar model.

Tang Yao was thinking, while on the other side, Ling Yun had already read all the information at hand.

"I didn't expect that we got in the wrong direction as soon as we got here." Ling Yun took out his mobile phone and searched. According to the information compiled by Zhu Qingrong, he found out that three similar murders had occurred in the town in the past ten years. The families who were killed had lived in There are some in the suburbs, and some near the edge of small towns, but their locations are relatively remote.

At first, Ling Yun thought the problem lay in the house they were living in, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"There's one more thing, you see: a child of these families is missing." Li Xinjian discovered something fishy.

The Anderson family who were killed in 2005 suffered a fire in their house. When they were discovered, the burnt bodies of their husband, wife, eldest daughter, and second daughter were all located in the living room. Only their seven-year-old son was missing.

In 2009, five members of the Green family, including an old man in his seventies, who lived on a suburban farm, were brutally stabbed to death. The missing one was the family's nine-year-old daughter.

In 2014, four members of the Hill family were shot to death, and their young second son also mysteriously disappeared.

"The last year is 2021, that is, half a year ago. The James family and the nanny were killed, and the youngest daughter Leah disappeared."

Ling Yun stretched out his index finger, tapped the table rhythmically, and looked at Zhu Qingrong in front of him: "Thank you for the information you provided, which helped us avoid a lot of mistakes."

"Could these cases be committed by some local religious organization?"

Liu Jigeng, who was standing behind Zhu Qingrong, the player who played the role of the father, suddenly said: "I personally think that this may be some kind of sacrificial ceremony. Those fanatical believers took away young children after killing people, and they said

It may have become some kind of sacrifice. The thing we need to fight in this mission may be something like an evil god or demon, or it may be that organization."

"I can't rule out the possibility you mentioned." Ling Yun nodded: "However, when we searched this villa, we found some clues."

Ling Yun quickly described it, and after listening to what he said, Zhu Qingrong and others also showed thoughtful expressions.

"Looking at it this way, it's not a religious organization." Feng Yijia murmured to himself.

"It turns out that we were misled by conventional thinking." Zhu Qingrong rubbed his chin: "In the eyes of ordinary people, young missing children in death cases will only be victims, but this time it is just the opposite."

"That's right." Ling Yun confirmed the other party's idea. After reading the information, he came to the same conclusion as Zhu Qingrong: In fact, the real culprits behind every murder case were none other than the missing children.

.

Of course, these children were originally normal, but there is only one reason why they suddenly changed their personalities and committed such cruel behaviors.

"Some evil force in the town bewitched them."

Zhu Qingrong spoke slowly: "Not only that, compared to adults, its targets seem to be children under ten years old. So this time, players who play children need to pay special attention."

Although Pan Rong is also a child, the character she plays is already fourteen years old this year and does not seem to meet the requirements.

In addition to her, Tang Yao, Li Xinjian, Feng Yijia and Zhu Qingrong, these four people seem to be facing higher risks.

"If a player is really seduced and wants to attack other people, then in the end it will definitely be either you or me who dies. But there is only one person on the other side, and there are many ways for the remaining players to stay alive."

Although Lin Yuanqi did not say the second half of the sentence, everyone understood what he meant: that is, if everyone unites and strives to kill the possessed player, then the crisis will naturally be resolved.

Of course, if one of Tang Yao and Li Xinjian really encountered such a situation, he would definitely not do this. The reason why Lin Yuanqi said this was simply to test the other team.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Feng Yijia, Liu Jigeng and Yan Ru all looked at Zhu Qingrong, their eyes full of fear.

This alone is worth pondering.

Ling Yun also noticed this scene: although there were two targets in their team that would be targeted, Liu Jigeng and Yan Ru seemed not to have considered Feng Yijia's threat at all.

That is to say, for them, Feng Yijia's ability is not something to be afraid of, but Zhu Qingrong. If he is really controlled, even if there are three people on his side, they may not be his opponent.

Zhu Qingrong...

Ling Yun has been recalling this character in his mind since the first time he heard the name. Finally, he remembered some scattered information: Zhu Qingrong's ability belongs to the spiritual system. Although he has no offensive power, he still cannot be underestimated.

.The reason why he became the captain of that base was also due to this.

Zhu Qingrong's wife died in the first mission. In reality, he was a single father. Although the funds redeemed by points could ensure that his daughter would live without worries, but his daughter was still young. In order to take care of the child, he swore that no matter what

No matter what, you must survive by any means necessary.

Zhu Qingrong's ability is called [Believer], and its function is also very special. Like Erika, he disguises himself very well. He is always the first to rush forward when in danger, and he helps others without hesitation. Time

After a long time, after gaining the trust of his companions, he began to use his abilities.

Once he responded to his questions expressing trust such as "Do you believe me?" and "Can I be your companion?", he would unconsciously plant a spiritual imprint on him and become a follower of Zhu Qingrong.

Zhu Qingrong can choose the ability of a follower at will and use it. The higher the trust and dependence of his followers on him, the stronger Zhu Qingrong's ability will be. And he is also the only one in the space so far who has multiple types of abilities.

of players.

Of course, there is a cooldown time for the release of skills, so it is not absolutely invincible. But even so, such an ability is terrifying.

In other words, in addition to the rare healing system and psychic system, from space system to combat system, element control system, time system... these powers are all used by Zhu Qingrong.

Not only that, he had also reached alliances and cooperation with players from other districts in treasure hunting games. Although the trust level was not high, Zhu Qingrong also learned different abilities from them.

"The method you mentioned is just a last resort. I don't want to hurt my companions."

After listening to what Lin Yuanqi said, Zhu Qingrong smiled slightly, and what he said made the three people behind him breathe a sigh of relief: "I think the true source of that evil force should be investigated. This is the correct way to solve the problem."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ling Yun, stretched out his hand and said: "We just exchanged clues with each other and analyzed the truth in such a short period of time. In this case, let's work together next, what do you think?"
