"Well, we don't have any ill intentions."

The woman's scarred face wanted to show a smile, but the corner of her mouth froze halfway, and the wounds involved made her expression distort.

"Don't force yourself, Xiaoya."

The man stretched out his hand and held her hand tightly. He could feel the panic in the other person's heart.

The priest didn't show anything and watched their interaction quietly, waiting for them to calm down.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the priest raised his eyes and looked at the scars on their faces thoughtfully.

The man noticed it at night, his eyes full of tiredness and he opened his mouth: "I don't know how you got here, but as long as you enter something in the hotel, you will be targeted."

Xiaoya broke away from the man's hand and looked at the priest.

"The scars on our faces are the work of that thing. This is not the most terrifying thing..."

Before Xiaoya could finish her words, she was interrupted by her companion beside her.

"say no more."

The man's eyes were still full of distrust towards the priest, and he could not 100% guarantee that the other person was a normal person.

There are some things you can't say, and it wouldn't be good if that thing knew about them.

The priest discovered from the actions of both of them that they were trying their best to hide something from him, and this was probably related to this hidden mission.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. I know you still don't trust me."

"But I just escaped from that hotel. I don't know what happened here."

The priest wrote and directed it, but no one knew how he came out anyway. As for the girl at the front desk who didn't know what she had become, she couldn't leave the hotel either.

"Let's go, let's get out of here as soon as possible."

Xiaoya finished speaking to the two of them and walked out.

The man glanced at the priest and asked him to walk in front of no one.

Apparently, he was also wary of him, fearing that the priest would attack from behind.

The priest did not show any unwillingness and followed the girl named Xiaoya very cooperatively.

After all, he may be the only NPC in this mission world.

It is not certain whether there are other people in this town. If the clues that the two of them want to obtain the hidden mission are lost, it will be in trouble.

Xiaoya, who was walking in front of the priest, suddenly stopped, walked to a bookshelf, took out a key, and then continued walking out.

The bedroom they were in before was probably the study room of this family. From the components here, we can see that the living conditions of the original owner were pretty good.

Xiaoya opened another door and groped on the floor as if she had found something.

"Click."

The sound of planks being pulled apart came from the ground.

I saw her easily moving the board away and inserting the key in the keyhole.

"Click."

The priest could also clearly see the scene inside.

"This is."

Seeing that Xiaoya worked hard for a long time before bringing out a small notebook, the priest was also a little curious.

"Let's go to temporary accommodation."

The man watched Xiaoya take out this thing and understood what she wanted to do.

The next three people didn't talk to each other, and quickly arrived at their temporary residence in silence.

It feels far away from the hotel and is well hidden. It is the basement of this family.

The basement is relatively clean, and there are some daily necessities, but the things are relatively simple and seem to meet the conditions of a temporary residence.

"This is a relatively safe place, let's talk."

Xiaoya held her notebook and stood behind her companion.

"good."

"I'll tell you the truth, several of my companions in the hotel have disappeared, and I escaped accidentally."

"I wonder if you can answer my questions about why such a terrible thing happened here."

The priest tried his best to speak in a gentle tone.

Facing the friendly priest, the two of them could not say anything too harsh.

The two made eye contact, and Xiaoya sighed.

"It's better for me to say this."

The priest did not interrupt her and looked at Xiaoya seriously.

The priest knew that the plot was coming next, and everything she said after that was a clue.

"This starts from a month ago, when I went to this town with Ah Hao and four other companions."

"We stayed in that hotel that night, and a fire suddenly broke out in the hotel when everyone was asleep."

Xiaoya had a look of fear on her face as she spoke. It was obvious that what happened that day frightened her so much that she would panic even when she recalled it.

"The fire started in the innermost room on the fourth floor of the hotel."

"While we were sleeping, we heard a miserable wailing sound coming from one of the rooms. I thought I was dreaming and continued to sleep, but the next morning the staff found that the entire room had been burned to the ground."

Xiaoya's voice was still trembling as she continued: "Obviously such a terrible fire occurred, but the strange thing is that the fire did not spread beyond the bedroom at all, and no one discovered that there was a fire in that room at all that night."

Xiaoya raised her head and looked directly into the priest's eyes, suppressing the panic in her heart.

Carefully, he handed the notebook he was holding tightly to the priest.

"This is the diary she left behind. Take a look at it."

The priest did not accept it immediately, but hesitated.

"I don't know what you call me."

"Just call me Xiaoya, just call him Ayong."

Xiaoya's eyes darkened when she saw that the priest didn't take the notebook immediately.

He couldn't help but say again, "This diary records what happened. If you want to know more about it, just read it."

Xiaoya tried her best to speak in a calm tone.

But after all, priests are people who have experienced a lot of missions in the world, and NPC priests in this novice world are always vigilant.

He had already seen Xiaoya's urgent mood, and it was not a good thing if the other party insisted that he hold the notebook and read it for whatever purpose.

"It's up to you to tell me what happened. I see that you hid this notebook so well before. It should be very important to you. I'd better listen to your words first."

The priest spoke with sincerity in his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to feel that he was lying.

"Oh well."

Xiaoya saw that it was impossible for the other party to reveal her purpose next or now, so she could only take the notebook back again with regret.

"Why don't I see anyone else in this town."

The priest looked at the two people with doubts on his face.

"I don't know who tricked you into coming in. All the people in this town have left and will not come back."

"Come here, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

Even as he said this, the priest had already begun to sort out these clues in his mind.

The fire they were talking about at the beginning may be the source of the incident, and the people in this town have gone out and will not come back, and their identities this time should be the unlucky ones who were deceived by others.

The priest already has some ideas in mind, but there are still few clues, and a few key points are still unknown.
