Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Why did they kill several people from the courier company, or what did they want to find?

Xia Yuan felt something was wrong. Wouldn't the courier company's pickup location have anything they wanted? He thought it might be related to the Witch King, after all, they were the remnants of the Witch King.

He got up from the bed and opened the balcony door. He planned to go to the express company under the cover of night, maybe he would find something.

At this moment, the curiosity of being a player took over.

Xia Yuan, wearing mechanically powered leggings, was as light as a swallow with the bonus of agility. He could easily run and jump on the small-spaced square roofs. Following the direction in his memory, Xia Yuan took advantage of the night to arrive at the scene of the incident that morning.

This place has been blocked off, and you can see a lot of gendarmes walking around. They are whispering to each other, complaining about the weather and why it is their turn to be on duty today.

The bloody smell inside the company seemed to have been cleared up. Xia Yuan looked from afar and found that many team members were checking packages one by one. He suddenly felt that this trip was in vain.

[You have triggered the B-level continuous task [Lingering Sound], accept/give up? ]

Xia Yuan's eyes narrowed. He had never heard of this task, at least he had never seen it on the forum in his previous life. This was normal. At this time in his previous life, no player was qualified to enter the main city, and could not encounter such an event, so naturally such a task would not be triggered.

This B-level mission still made his eyes pause. He had been guarding the gun for Mostima for several years and it was finally about to be completed. If we convert time into the degree of danger... would this be a very dangerous mission?

However, you can also give up the task after accepting it, so you might as well take a look at the task details, you won’t lose anyway.

accept.

[Mission details: You unexpectedly discovered that the remnants of the Witch King are pursuing something. They are looking for something. They are willing to kill civilians to silence them. Find their traces, and perhaps you will know what their ultimate goal is.]

[Task requirements: Find the traces of the remnants of the Witch King and search for clues]

[Reward: 9000 experience points]

[Special Reward: Treasure Map]

The format of this mission reminded Xia Yuan, isn't this a mission to explore the ruins at a singularity?

Sometimes players can enter a singularity whenever they want. As long as they use exploration equipment and protective clothing, they can continue exploring in a dangerous environment filled with Originium dust. However, some singularities are unlocked only after players complete a mission. Some ways to unlock them are to seek help from NPCs, while others are to secretly follow NPCs to the designated location of the mission.

In short, there are all kinds of methods, but for Xia Yuan, the task requirements are obviously very clear.

In the second half of the night, before Xia Yuan fell asleep on the roof, several gendarmes who were checking inside the express company yawned and prepared to call it a day. They set up a cordon at the street entrance, left a few people to guard the entrance and exit, and then called it a day and went home.

When Xia Yuan saw the people finally leave, he landed on the ground silently and walked towards the express company with silent steps.

There was dried blood on the ground, and the deceased's lying position drawn with chalk. Xia Yuan came to the cargo area - it was a mess because of the gendarmerie.

Xia Yuan couldn't help but curse. His goods were marked as fragile, so he wanted to make sure they were not damaged by this group of people... He couldn't expect them to compensate him if they were damaged.

He didn't need to turn on the flashlight because his halo and wings were bright enough to illuminate the room clearly.

This is the reason why he doesn't like the Sakota race very much. This race is incapable of sneak attacks and infiltrations, and can only be invincible.

For example, when playing Payday 10, your teammates are all equipped with suits and silenced pistols, and you come in with a danger level of 95, wearing a full-body bulletproof vest, with a machine gun as your main weapon, a grenade launcher as your secondary weapon, and a mountain axe as your close-range weapon.

What is infiltration? If you kill all the people, it is not a successful infiltration?

After searching for several hours, Xia Yuan yawned, but he still persevered and looked for possible clues. This game is not like other MMORPGs. The main feature is reality, and you have to find all the clues by yourself, so the treasure map can be sold at a sky-high price in the market.

Every time you enter a singularity it is a gamble. If the things inside are more valuable than the blueprints, then you will make a profit this time. If not... then you will definitely lose a lot of money.

He noticed an inconspicuous package. There was nothing written on it, no sender or destination. The box was very light. He shook the box, but he didn't feel anything inside.

Such a package cannot be sent out. No sender means no charge, and no delivery location means it cannot be delivered to the designated location at all... It is obvious that this is a package that cannot be sent.

Considering that the package would only stay in such a post station for a week at most, Xia Yuan immediately began to unpack the package.

There was nothing inside except a note that read "27 Bugas Street, Sunset District"

Xia Yuan smelled the scent of Kal'tsit. Could this note be about the meeting place?

Sunset District...seems to be the slum area of ​​Graufeld, and seems to be very suitable for doing some sneaky things.

The task was not shown as completed because he only found part of the clues, but Xia Yuan's mood improved. He carefully put the note back, then restored the express box to its original state and left the station quietly.

Why did he put the note back? It was to avoid alerting the enemy. What if the remnants of the Witch King came to check? On the other hand, he also wanted to provide clues to the gendarmerie. If they found the note, it would be a good thing to arrest all the remnants of the Witch King.

Xia Yuan currently does not want to provoke this group of fanatics; he just wants to make a fortune quietly.

Stepping lightly onto the balcony, Xia Yuan opened the door and prepared to enter the house.

"Where did you go just now?"

On the balcony next door, Kanelian opened the door a crack, his voice filled with dissatisfaction.

Xia Yuan glanced at her watch. It was 2 a.m. in Terra time. Didn't you stay up late? Staying up late at night would cause bad skin and loose muscles.

"I'm going for a walk to digest my food."

"You lie exactly like my sister." Kanelian raised the corner of his mouth. "You look cute. Going out in the early morning to digest your food? Didn't you go out the balcony door instead of the main door?"

Xia Yuan was silent for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Carnellian, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"You're saying—"

Kanelian saw Xia Yuan's indifferent golden eyes. His face was calm, but Kanelian didn't care about his attitude.

Kanelian thought for a moment, "I have no conflict with you. At first glance, I thought you were a handsome boy, and I liked you."

"At least you are not a bad person. I have never heard of the evil Sakota people in my travels."

She blinked her blood-red eyes, "I have traveled on Terra for so many years, and I have seen a lot of people. My intuition is not wrong when it comes to judging people... Now, I can say that I can give you my back in battle."

Xia Yuan hummed, "Me too, you are a straightforward person and you are trustworthy."

"I just went to investigate the scene and found the gathering place of the remnants of the Witch King." Xia Yuan said, "I guess they came to Graufield for a purpose, otherwise they would not kill people at the post station. It is very likely that they are looking for something."

"You want to investigate further." Kanelian was stunned for a moment, then he understood. This innocent angel brother would not blame himself for the death of the postman, right?

Xia Yuan nodded, "This can be considered as revenge for the three civilians who died. They died unjustly and suffered an undeserved disaster."

"...Okay, take me with you. This is not considered a help, because I also want to kill one or two of the remnants of the Witch King to vent my anger."

"Let's talk tomorrow."

"Do you need me to wake you up?"

Xia Yuan looked at Kanelian strangely, and the latter grinned and turned into the house.

Xia Yuan was silent. With such a reliable warlock as a teammate, exploring the singularity should be a sure thing.

Nothing happened that night, and they woke up the next day still full of energy. After having breakfast at the hotel, they went to the Sunset District of Graufield, which is a slum with a dense population, and some of the people are infected.

Leitania is very tolerant of the infected. Thanks to the high popularity of Leitania's Originium skills, Leitania's attitude towards the infected is not as harsh as that of other countries. Leitania is also one of the few countries in Terra where the infected and non-infected can live together, and they also enjoy community services and job opportunities. However, the movements of the infected are still subject to certain restrictions, and the infected in various regions are often concentrated in one neighborhood.

Both of them put on hoods to disguise themselves to the greatest extent possible, but Xia Yuan's halo and wings still made some civilians stay a few steps away from them.

No. 27 Bugas Street is an ordinary grocery store. It looks no different from other places except that it is closed today. Xia Yuan looked inside through the window and found that it was empty, with no one in the store.

"No one, did they leave early?"

Kanelian did not comment. "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Seeing that there were few people around and she didn't feel like she was being watched, she twisted the handle off, kicked the door, and walked in.

Xia Yuan was very upset. Didn't he remember what he said in the morning about sneaking in? Why did this lady pull out a gun to attract the police after arriving at the place?

“Now, give them hell”

——///Police raid///——

Xia Yuan wondered if a yellow warning like this would appear in the upper left corner of his vision the next moment.

There was nothing worth seeing in the grocery store. Kanelian was looking for clues everywhere, while Xia Yuan closed the door that had been kicked in. He looked around at the decorations in the store, then came to the cashier counter and found some cash in the cash register.

"Lucky, what a lucky guy."

Kanelian said something in Colombian and glanced at Xia Yuan, "Do you mind if I take the money?"

Xia Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the warehouse behind the store. He didn't hear any voice, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

This place was more like a mini armory than a warehouse. He saw many musical instruments and staffs, as well as strange transformations and music scores. He felt that he would lose sanity if he looked at them for a few more times.

If this were Dayan, the ten tribes of these fanatics would probably be in danger.

Not everyone can have a mini arsenal.

Xia Yuan continued to search on the table. He didn't know what he was looking for. After all, he didn't know what the treasure map looked like.

Kanelian whistled as he examined his weapon staff. "It looks like it has been recently serviced. Do you think this is the base of the remnants we killed?"

"It's possible, but we need to be careful as there may be another group of remnants of the Witch King in the city."

Xia Yuan answered as he touched a piece of paper with an ancient texture under a piece of music sheet covered in dried blood.

Chapter 86: The Witch King’s Things?

After taking a look at the paper, Xia Yuan felt a sore pain in his eyes...it felt like his eyes had lost some sanity.

[Spiritual judgment successful]

The system popped up this prompt bar, and Xia Yuan thought to himself, is there any voodoo on this piece of paper? Why does he have to pass a san check just by looking at it?

"What are you looking at?" Kanelian came to his side with a gust of fragrance, and his scarlet eyes moved from his face to the paper.

"The map seems to interest them."

Xia Yuan handed the map to Kanelian, "Don't stare at it. My eyes hurt after looking at it for a while... There may be magic on it."

Kanelian licked his lips, took the map and frowned slightly, his eyes seemed to be burning.

"...There are traces of spellcasting. It seems that the remnants of the Witch King are hoping to crack something."

"Isn't this the work of the remnants of the Witch King?"

Xia Yuan was stunned.

Kanelian shrugged and chuckled, "If the remnants of the Witch King could possess such magic, they would no longer have to hide in the dark. Even if they act openly, the Golden Rule Guards would not be their opponents."

Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes, "In broad daylight... aboveboard."

Before he could finish, footsteps were heard at the store door.

At the same time, there were also several low voices of people talking to each other.

"——Someone has been here. Is it from another team?"

"Didn't those bastards offend the military police? Or did they manage to escape?"

"A bunch of idiots, they didn't even find the key, yet they actually started a fight at the post station."

Xia Yuan and Kanelian made a gesture, and the two leaned against the corner, waiting for the remnants of the Witch King to approach.

There is a very critical thing about the remnants of the Witch King. They are all fanatics. If it were anyone else, Xia Yuan could use a pistol to torture them and make them reveal some key information, but in this situation, it is more convenient to kill them directly.

"and many more--"

Archaic and awkward terms suddenly rang out, and Xia Yuan immediately drew his gun and fired dozens of times at the wooden door, sending sawdust flying everywhere.

Kanelian rushed out with a ball of orange-yellow magic in his hand, his scarlet eyes flashing with murderous intent. The magic sword hit the throat of the warlock who was shot, and the khaki energy exploded the next moment, engulfing the remaining two people.

Kanelian spat, "I'm gathering my strength, what are you doing?"

Xia Yuan walked on the yellow sand to the corpses, squatted down to check for a moment, and could not find anything useful except their staffs. He originally wanted to follow behind this group of Witch King's remnants, but he did not expect that with Carnellian accompanying them this time, a stealth mission suddenly turned into a robbery mission.

It was impossible to ask anything since the person was dead, so Xia Yuan tried to take off their masks but failed.

"How to do?"

Kanelian knew that Xia Yuan was the backbone, so he asked straightforwardly.

Xia Yuan stuffed the map into his coat pocket. "The revenge has been taken, but there may be more remnants of the Witch King in this city. Their deaths will soon be exposed..."

He walked quickly back to the warehouse and began to search inside, while Kanelian stood nearby not knowing what he was looking for, but he still waited patiently.

"did not find."

"What are you looking for?"

"Other possible remnant branches of the Witch King."

“It’s impossible to write something like this.”
