Fall in love with an NPC

65

As soon as Qu Tong woke up, he knew where he was, and it was not difficult to guess at all. He smelled the humid air and knew that he had come to that annoying place again - the ice field.

He really doesn't like Bingyu, maybe because this is the place where Jiwei's big transformation started, or maybe because there is too much... water here, which doesn't bring him any sense of security at all.

He got up and looked around. It was true that he was in the ice area, and there was plenty of moisture in the air, but there seemed to be a little bit of a difference, a little weird.

He was in the depths of a cave, thinking that he was a frequent visitor to the ice region, so he got out of the cave and planned to find Xi He first.

There are many mermaids outside the cave, and the strange feeling before is even deeper.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time Qu Tong came to the Ice Region. Except for the first time they had a lot of people, so many mermaids showed up, and he had never seen so many mermaids on the same occasion.

The mermaids gathered on the shore laughing and laughing as if they were celebrating something. There were several more in the water. There were so many mermaids, but none of them noticed Qu Tong's appearance.

Qu Tong was puzzled, but fortunately he was not stage frightened, so he took the initiative to go up to say hello: "Excuse me... where is your patriarch?"

It's too impolite for no mermaid to pay attention to him...

"Excuse me, who can tell me where your patriarch is?" He held back his temper and continued to ask.

Still, no mermaid paid attention to him, and it seemed that he couldn't hear his voice at all.

Qu Tong was a little scared, stepped forward, and patted the shoulder of the mermaid closest to him. The moment his hand was raised and dropped, it passed through the other person's body.

Fuck, what's going on here... what's going on? !

System...ah no, there is no system anymore.

No one could explain the situation to him.

Qu Tong swallowed, feeling fear from the bottom of his heart.

He clearly said he was going to be resurrected. He thought that when he opened his eyes, even if he was not in Tianyu City in other places, at least the resurrection would be no problem.

The system did not mention the current situation to him in advance, so what should he do?

Qu Tong looked at the mermaids who were dancing and dancing around him. They really didn't look like the mermaids he saw. They were so presumptuous, and they looked more frivolous than Xi He. The other mermaids he saw were all defensive, and they were all dressed up. Purity of heart and asceticism.

Did he guess wrong?Isn't this the ice field?

Qu Tong passed the group of mermaids who were celebrating something, endured the disgust and fear projected in his heart, and walked along the river bank for a while, it was by the Rin River, yes, his place is in the ice region, and the opposite side of the Rin River does not belong to the ice region. However, the surrounding area is somewhat different from what he knows.

For example, the cave he came out of, thinking about it now, in his impression, there seems to be no cave in that location, and the surrounding plants are slightly different.

But putting these aside, it can still be explained that he is indeed in the ice region.

Qu Tong decided to go to the place where Xi He lived first, but followed his memory to get there, completely dumbfounded.

A wasteland with nothing.

He went to the place where the mermaids usually met their guests. There were too many mermaids coming and going, but none of them could see him, so they came in and out freely.

There was not much change there, but none of the mermaids was familiar to him.

Having been here so many times, it was the first time that Qu Tong felt that the mermaids were a prosperous group. He once wondered in his heart whether the mermaids were about to become extinct.

But every mermaid he met gave him... a strong sense of strangeness, it should be said that he was preconceived. Among the mermaids he met, the most unscrupulous, frivolous and charming one was Xi He. The indifference was discovered, the indecency was just the illusion of his innocence, Xi Lin represented the feeling that other mermaids gave him, cold, indifferent, and the innocence of the ex-Juan En's style was pretended by her .

What he saw now, twisting his waist, singing and dancing gracefully, with charming and enchanting smiles on his lips, was extremely alluring, like a race that was only loyal to desire.

Could it be that he accidentally miscalculated the time and arrived a long, long time later?

Mermaids will become so frivolous after a long time?What about Xi He?If you die, you will be angry.

Qu Tong told Tian Tian not to answer, and called the land to be ineffective, so he simply approached the mermaids to listen to their conversation and inquire about news by the way.

"What good things did the priest bring back? The patriarch seems very happy?"

priest?Isn't it dead?Patriarch?Could it be Xi He?

Qu Tong pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"It was a child who said that he picked up something. The color of the lifeline changed. The priests were shocked and brought it back to present to the patriarch."

"Child?" A mermaid couldn't help swallowing when he mentioned this word for some reason, as if smelling delicious food.

"Lifeline is different from ordinary people, I don't know if it is more delicious..."

A group of mermaids laughed. Qu Tong felt cold and stayed away from them. The feeling about food just now seemed to be an illusion, but he has never heard of mermaids eating people and children?

And... there are other inconsistencies. Xi He once told him that he can be the patriarch because he can see things that other mermaids can't see, which is the lifeline. From the conversation just now, he It was discovered that the priest in the mouth of those mermaids seemed to be able to see the lifeline.

Could it be that Xi He was seized power?

No, no, no, it's a mess, my head is about to explode.

Just at this time, the surrounding mermaids suddenly quieted down, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony, they bowed their heads respectfully and faced a direction, and Qu Tong followed suit.

A group of people came in, yes, they had legs, and they walked in the way humans walk.

The leading man stood on the altar, followed by a man with loose long hair, with an indifferent expression, holding a wooden plate in his hand, covered with silk cloth.

"Today, the priests of our family returned and brought an unexpected and very precious treasure. I will take this opportunity for everyone to enjoy." The man in the lead spoke, and the long-haired man stood in front, and opened the treasure with one hand. The silk cloth, the "treasure" under the silk cloth finally revealed its true colors, the mermaid exclaimed in a low voice, Qu Tong narrowed his eyes after seeing it clearly.

It is the seed of the golden tree.

"From now on, this seed will be a sacred item of our clan. After tonight, it will be enshrined in the priest's dormitory, and the priest will take care of it every day, so it will be absolutely safe."

The eyes of the mermaids were still attracted by the seed, and they probably didn’t care what the man said at all. Qu Tong guessed that the man who spoke should be the patriarch, and there was no other possibility in terms of status. The long-haired man should be the priest He swears that when the patriarch said that he would enshrine the seeds in the priest's dormitory, the corner of the man's mouth could not hide his complacency.

No one could see him, Qu Tong took advantage of this, jumped onto the altar generously, and observed the seeds on the plate in the hands of the priest up close.

He had only seen one seed of the Golden Sacrifice Tree, and now he couldn't tell whether this one was that one.

"It would be great if I could pick it up." Thinking so, he said out loud, but at this moment, a gust of glare hit him, and Qu Tong found that the priest was staring at his position firmly, But... It seems that he still can't see him, can he be sensed?

Qu Tong was startled, took a few steps back, and almost fell off the altar. The shock was not all due to the priest's sudden stare. He found that this priest looked so close to him, and he looked as tall as Ji Wei. Eight points similar!

He remembered what Secret.A said, the seed that Secret.A helped him find was stolen from the priest's bedroom, and at this time, the seeds of the sacrificial golden tree had not been placed in the priest's bedroom.

Speaking of the future, it is more appropriate to say that he has returned to the past.

So this priest is Ji Wei's father?Or other relatives?

It can't be Ji Wei himself. Ji Wei, like him, was summoned from the real world, and there will be no growth trajectory.

Confusing.

However, the ferocious, cold, stern and endless eyes are really similar to Ji Wei's at certain moments.

"The priest also brought back a child whose lifeline is different from that of ordinary people. Tonight, the priest sacrificed him to give everyone another meal!"

The mermaids cheered deafeningly, and Qu Tong was dumbfounded.

Don't they have any psychological barriers to eating children?

You know, just because Xi Lin thought that she had killed the three members of the Li family, she felt that she had abandoned the belief of the mermaid and would never come back. What is going on with these guys now?

So, have mermaids been cannibals in the past?

The place where Qu Tong was standing was very close to the patriarch and the priest. The priest had an inscrutable look. The patriarch summoned the mermaid who had been standing by and asked in a low voice, "Where are Xi He and the others?"

Finally hearing the familiar name, Qu Tong pricked up his ears.

"No... not too sure, I haven't seen the two of them since noon."

"Hmph." The patriarch snorted coldly, "I know how to play with my sister all day long, and I don't look like an heir at all!"

Qu Tong can be sure that the time he was in was a long time ago, and how long it is is impossible to verify.

The man in front of him should be the father of Xi He and Xi Lin, that is, the old patriarch. This priest... must have some connection with Ji Wei.

It's just that he is not very clear at the moment, is it because Ji Wei chose to become an NPC that changed the past, or because of the existence of this past, there is the future Ji Wei.

One thing he can be sure of is that there must be a reason for him to appear in this time period.

"The priest is really generous. If it were me, I couldn't help but eat that child on the spot, and I can bring it back to share with other people." The mermaid and his companions whispered, and Qu Tong moved closer.

"Do you think that everyone is just like you, just know how to eat and eat, and priests can be anyone casually?" There was a burst of laughter.

"Hey, speaking of it, since the priest advocated that we treat lowly humans as food, I feel like my scales are starting to glow."

"Me too, me too. We have sharp claws and beauty. Humans are not comparable at all. The priest is right, they are only worthy of being our food."

A female mermaid staggered with a smile, "Actually, what I'm most curious about is what that child looks like. The priest said that the life line is different from ordinary people, so does it look different from ordinary people? It’s been cut, and nothing can be seen.”

Qu Tong felt nauseous for a while, endured the nausea and continued to eavesdrop.

"Can you go and see it? It should be locked up with other children."

The mermaid showed great interest, "I want to go and see, who will accompany me?"

"You...you can't control your mouth, if you swallow it, the patriarch will definitely be furious."

Another burst of laughter.
