Chapter 26

After Lu Miao pointed out the identity of the old lady who was the dormitory manager, the progress bar of the main task increased a little.

[Main mission progress refreshed, bloody breeding of human-skinned monsters, current mission progress: 70%]

[Side mission progress refreshed, Heart of True Love, current mission progress: 20%]

Seeing the following prompt, Lu Miao's eyebrows skipped a beat, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The progress of this side task is very slow. Originally, in the F-level copy "The Disappearing Sister", it was only advanced to 10% when "Cui Yuxiang" showed disgust towards the school's Moonlight Goddess.

It was also at that time that Lu Miao realized that there were actually clues in the two statues in the town that gave people completely different feelings.

He therefore thought of the connection between the Moonlight Goddess and the human-skinned monster, but what he didn't expect was that except for that time, the information about the Moonlight Goddess never appeared again.

After the main task was merged, the progress of this side task has not changed, it is still 10%. Lu Miao has even planned to give up this task line.

Unexpectedly, just after solving the problem of who the goddess of moonlight is, the price started to rise again.

A side quest in an F-level dungeon can only be progressed until an upgraded D-level dungeon. What's the point?

Just as he was thinking about it, the eyeballs of the dormitory supervisor in front of him suddenly moved, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through his cloudy eyes: "How did you know?"

Lu Miao came back to his senses and spread his hands innocently after hearing this: "Is this difficult?"

Players in front of the screen: "…………"

I always feel like I have been ridiculed.

But in fact, the relationship between the hostel and the monster is not difficult to guess.

A scary dormitory full of monsters. As a dormitory manager who has to go into the dormitory to check from time to time, there are only two possibilities for staying in such an environment.

Either she is a monster too, or these monsters can't hurt her.

If it was the former, the old lady, as a kindred spirit of the human-skin monster, would not have given Lu Miao the chance to go in and see all that, so this possibility did not hold true.

The latter possibility, if true, is also very subtle.

If the hostess is not a monster, why does she stay here? What is her reason? Is she passive or voluntary?

When normal people meet monsters, even if they don't take the initiative to harm them, they will probably stay away from them. What's more, these human-skinned monsters have such bad tempers that they would kill to kill if they look at them again.

If the dormitory manager can coexist peacefully with these human-skinned monsters, and still be leisurely enough to knit sweaters, it must not be just for the meager salary of three melons and two dates.

There must be something in her that can restrain the monster in human skin.

The human-skin monster is not afraid of bright light, nor is it afraid of most exorcism methods, so this thing is not any item in the dormitory room, or the dazzling light above the old lady's head.

There is only one possibility left.

——The supervisor himself is the nemesis of the human-skin monster.

The human-skinned monster can freely come and go in this dormitory, and can cultivate human animals unscrupulously, which shows that the old lady who is the dormitory manager is in the opposite camp to the player. She is guarding the door of the dormitory, not for guarding, but for protection.

Protect the vulnerable people inside.

As for how Lu Miao connected the three identities of Wang Xiaomei, the old lady in charge of the dormitory, and the Moonlight Goddess, the previous process was actually similar to what Zhou Dongfeng and the others thought.

But unlike the silly Yu Qian, who had come to school with "Cui Yuxiang" before and was assigned alone, Lu Miao discovered that the thing the old lady was knitting was not a sweater, but a pillowcase for the daisy pillow in Xiaomei Wang's room.

Another thing that also aroused Lu Miao's suspicion was the hesitation shown by the old lady when she asked about his identity.

People will only show this kind of questioning emotion when they are very sure about something but find that the development of the matter exceeds their expectations.

Regardless of whether it is the original "Ideal Town" or the current version of the horror game, Wang Xiaomei is not an outgoing character. According to her aunt, because Lao Wang and Cui Yuxiang had a quarrel at school before, Wang Xiaomei's situation in the school is also different.

very bad.

Under such premise, it was difficult for her to confide in an indifferent dormitory who was not related to her, or even talk about her younger brother who had no sense of presence in the whole story.

There is also the kiss that Big Meatball printed on the forehead of the corpse when he left home.

Previously, Lu Miao thought it was Cui Yuxiang's love and guilt for his dead daughter, but once he discovered that Cui Yuxiang had been replaced by a human-skinned monster, this idea had no foothold.

All doubts point to the fact that the dormitory manager is the real Wang Xiaomei.

Wang Xiaomei is the dormitory supervisor. She was once "killed" by a human-skin monster, but the supervisor is the nemesis of the human-skin monster.

This subtle relationship reminded Lu Miao of the connection between the town residents, the two monsters and the Moonlight Statue.

The residents of the town will become human animals after mutation, and the human animals will be tamed and enslaved by human-skinned monsters. Both the town residents and the monsters believe in the Moonlight Goddess - the former believes in the Moonlight Goddess to seek shelter, and the latter uses it as a source of protection.

Surrender and kill.

The same group plays completely different roles in the two camps.

The apex of the latter's closed loop is the Moonlight Goddess, so as a closed loop that also includes the human-skinned monster, the supervisor, that is, Wang Xiaomei, must have a certain connection with the Moonlight Goddess.

Considering the unreasonableness of Wang Xiaomei's fake death, and the clear direction of the judgment of "natural death", Lu Miao took a gamble and boldly guessed that Wang Xiaomei was the goddess of moonlight herself.

Obviously, he made the right bet.

In the dormitory room, the old and hunched dormitory stared at Lu Miao and slowly straightened his back.

During this process, her wrinkled, shriveled skin gradually swelled up. It was like an inflated ball. Not only did her muscles become plump, but her skin became firm, tender and shiny. In the blink of an eye, she went from a half to half

The old lady who was almost dead turned into a beautiful girl in her prime.

As soon as Lu Miao saw some traces of Miss Wang on her face, her face changed again, and finally settled on the look of the Moonlight Goddess statue that Lu Miao saw at the school gate.

The clothes on her body also changed from simple and thick cotton clothes to the representative white robes worn by the Moonlight Goddess.

Different from the rigid statue, at this moment, Wang Xiaomei, or the Moonlight Goddess, although her eyes are closed, her skin is as smooth as jade, flowing with unknown brilliance, her hair and robe are windless, and her every move seems to be with

With the radiance of holiness.

Even the pale light above her head seemed to be much softer when it shone on her, as if it couldn't bear to disturb her.

It seems that the statue of the Moonlight Goddess comes to life in front of everyone, but when the real god stands in front of them, people will find that the beauty of the statue cannot explain one ten thousandth of the beauty of the god.

This kind of beauty has broken away from the human category and has begun to have real offensive power. Even the audience in front of the screen can't help but marvel at it.

"What a nice view……"

"This is really the boss at the end of the level. Isn't it here to help players pass the level? She is so beautiful, and she definitely has nothing to do with those ugly human-skinned monsters!"

"I am willing to die for her."

Fortunately, through the screen, all mental influences will be greatly weakened. Some mentally strong players quickly woke up, and then they were shocked, and their backs were soaked in cold sweat.

The live broadcast system reduces the damage of mental attacks in the dungeon by up to 90%, but they are still confused by the Moonlight Goddess without realizing it?

They were just scared, but Zhou Dongfeng, who had entered the D-level dungeon in the front row, had completely darkened his face and was extremely frightened.

Players who can pass the horror game and enter the game lobby have some capital. The players with the lowest spiritual value here are over 60, but they cannot withstand the 10% spiritual guidance of the Moonlight Goddess. The Moonlight Goddess is really just a D-level copy.

Bottom boss?

None of the D-level dungeons he had experienced had such a terrifying end-of-level boss.

Even ordinary players with a mental strength of 60 cannot withstand the aftermath of Moonlight Goddess’ mental skills. Lu Miao, who bears the brunt of the mental damage, has a mental strength of 20. Can he withstand it?

Mental skills are no different from the scratching and biting physical attacks of human-skinned monsters. They are directly applied to the target's mind and cannot be avoided or counteracted. They can only rely on the player's own willpower or precious props to resist.

Lu Miao's points are far from enough to buy props to protect his consciousness.

I don't know why, but at this moment, Zhou Dongfeng was really worried about Lu Miao's situation.

In the picture, Lu Miao was also looking steadily at the Moonlight Goddess.

Lu Miao was not confused by her, his eyes were still clear. If you look carefully, you will find that Lu Miao's smile dropped at this time, and his expression was a little lonely.

Sure enough, she is not the little sister Wang he knows...

As early as when the old lady's appearance changed, Lu Miao noticed that an extremely oppressive power was gradually reviving, as if a huge wave of water was crashing down on him, and he was just a lonely boat in the sea, and he would be swept away in an instant.

The other party subverts.

The moment the Moonlight Goddess's transformation was completed, he could not help but admire the beauty of the other party. It felt like some instructions had been implanted in his brain. The strong hints and guidance made him almost think,

That strong admiration and trust are his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

But Lu Miao did not fall into the guidance of the Moonlight Goddess as Zhou Dongfeng thought. On the contrary, he woke up faster than many players with high spiritual values.

Lu Miao thought that this should be due to the sensational hacking incident when he was still working as a messenger NPC in "Ideal Town".

"Ideal Town" was already a top-notch game that was popular throughout the interstellar world, with more than 10 billion daily active players, almost half of the total interstellar population.

You know, before this, the number of daily active users of the most popular games only accounted for one-tenth of the total population of StarCraft.

Super high popularity and income will inevitably bring jealousy and frame-up. That time, someone hired the top interstellar hackers to invade "Ideal Town", causing all NPCs to lose control and go berserk. Millions of players fell into a deep sleep and almost didn't wake up.

come over.

Lu Miao was in the game at that time. Because he was also an NPC, the game terminal implanted a virus program in his brain, causing Lu Miao to fall into a nightmare state for a long time. It was not until the virus program was broken that he was able to escape from "

Come out of the virtual world of "Ideal Town".

This accident did not have much impact on his daily life. The only impact was on his account balance.

Due to the long period of rescue, the inheritance left by his parents was exhausted, and he had to rely on the NPC salary in "Ideal Town" to sustain his life.

But now it seems that the money was not too bad spent.
