However, Xia Yuan had already answered Ai Yin's question.

But as soon as they finished speaking, their expressions changed. What happened? Was there something wrong with what they just said? Or were they the only ones without a game script, only a work pass representing a folklore reporter?

"This is troublesome... Two people have appeared on the shallows below the cliff at the same time for two consecutive days."

Miss Hei hope held the manuscript in her hand and recited her lines, but when Xia Yuan tried to peek, she alertly placed the manuscript in front of her chest.

His eyes seemed to be telling Xia Yuan something.

"You rascal, don't even think about peeking!"

"Um...did I say something wrong just now?"

Alicia waved her hand, saying somewhat helplessly:

"Ha, whatever... we can't hide it anymore anyway. With all that commotion just now, the whole of Red Kite Village will know about it."

"Ellie, what does it mean that there are two people on two consecutive days?"

Xia Yuan suddenly remembered his encounter with Aunt Mei, who was dressed in revealing clothing, late at night. He hoped that she was alright, but since he had only met her briefly last night, it shouldn't be Aunt Mei. It must be someone else.

"This is troublesome. What does that mean?"

Xia Yuan looked at the crowd in front of him, hoping they could explain it to him.

"Because if that happens, Grandma Mebius will definitely be angry."

Alicia answered Xia Yuan's question.

"Grandma Mebius, this is very much like your style, Ellie. Could you tell me the details?"

Xia Yuan asked with great interest.

"Oh, Xia Yuan, don't worry about these details. This is a long story, don't mind it. Rural areas are definitely very different from towns."

"Then... Ellie, what should I do now?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, Xia Yuan, don't worry. Miss Pink Fairy will figure something out. Everyone, go to the cafeteria for lunch. Xia Yuan and I will go later."

Alicia, with one hand on her hip, urged everyone except Xia Yuan on.

The group left the apartment chatting and laughing, but it was Ai Yin who was laughing, Dr. Tesla who was furious, and Seele who was calming them down.

"Why do I get the feeling that you, Ellie, are trying to avoid a direct conflict with Granny Mebius?"

After seeing the crowd gradually moving away, Xia Yuan spoke.

Xia Yuan recalled the white cloth with an infinity pattern engraved on Grandma Mebius's face, which was clearly the work of Ellie.

"Hmm, as expected of Xia Yuan, you have such keen observation skills. By the way, while I was getting ready, did Xia Yuan have any conflicts with the villagers?"

Xia Yuan shook his head decisively.

Alicia: "That's good... Let's go to the cafeteria later."

Xia Yuan: "Oh, shall we go get breakfast?"

Alicia: "NO—I'll have breakfast here. I'll just go to the cafeteria later to say hello."

Xia Yuan: "Aili, who should we go to the cafeteria to greet later?"

Alicia: "Of course, it's those elders who don't like outsiders~"

elder......

It seems that Ellie really considers herself Elise's little sister.

Chapter 273 Adorable Humans, the Area Ahead...

"Oh, and by the way, you have to keep what happened last night and this morning a secret for me, okay? Let's keep it a little secret between us, okay?"

Alicia leaned forward, fully displaying the beauty of a young girl.

Of course~

Over the next period of time, Alicia explained to Xia Yuan in detail the origin of the shallows and stream. According to legend, the stream was unclean, and it was a place where the dead returned to the world of the living.

"By the way, Ellie, besides these, there must be other rules here, right?"

"Of course there's a lot more! But don't worry, as your guide and mentor, Miss Pink Fairy will take good care of you."

Xia Yuan was more interested in asking Alicia if his life was in danger during this live-action game, but Alicia's next words made the word "danger" flash across Xia Yuan's mind.

"Don't be so scared, Xia Yuan. You are a man who has inherited the Infinite Imprint. Even if you suffer fatal damage in this game, you will be reborn from your snake-shedding state."

After hearing Alicia's words, Xia Yuan had only one thought in his mind: Is it too late to quit this game now?

The sun was shining brightly, and everything around was clearly visible. Now was the perfect time to run, but just as Xia Yuan was about to leave…

[Cute humans, let's explore the areas ahead later~]

The fairy Ellie suddenly appeared and whispered in Xia Yuan's ear.

Hmm... I'm blocked by something like an invisible wall. It seems I'm still in the main storyline, unable to explore or escape the village.

We are forced to face what may happen next.

"Don't worry, our villain, there's no danger ahead, but we need to pay our respects to the highly respected Granny Mebius in Chiyuan Village first."

Up to now, Xia Yuan has a feeling that Ai Li's words have a hidden meaning, and this settlement called Chi Yuan Village seems to be very strange.

but.....

Is Ellie, his guide and mentor, barely reliable?

Xia Yuan looked at Alicia, who was intimately holding his arm. From a distance, they looked like a couple deeply in love.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yuan was warmly invited by Alicia to the apartment room where he had stayed the previous night. Then... under her hospitable hospitality, Xia Yuan ate a bowl of Kevin-flavored instant noodles. The hot water was boiled using a gadget he had scavenged from Ai Yin's room two doors down.

However, Alicia was still hungover and had no appetite.

However, the other party seemed to really want to eat the sandwich he made himself, but unfortunately there were no ingredients around, so Xia Yuan could only let the pink fairy roll around on the carpet.

After having a good meal, Xia Yuan and Alicia left the apartment together and went to the vicinity of the canteen in Chiyuan Village.

"By the way, Ellie... what's the significance of these standing rocks that look like red kites?"

"Hmm—it's like a guardian deity, I guess. It must have been around a long time ago; maybe these Crimson Kite Rocks were created to commemorate Hua."

Xia Yuan gazed at the towering rocks that covered the fields and murmured to himself:

"Is this to commemorate our ancestor, the Red Iris?"

These standing rock carvings are incredibly lifelike; they must represent the beliefs of the villagers living in Chiyuan Village. You can't find such standing rocks in the city where he and Yaya live at all.

"Hey, Xia Yuan, come with me."

"what happened?"

Xia Yuan asked in confusion.

"Don't ask, just follow me~"

Suddenly, Alicia seemed to remember something and took Xia Yuan's hand, leading him to another path. This path was a narrow one, with no signs of being run over by cars.

Along both sides of the path were standing rocks carved with red kites of all sizes, some upside down and some facing upwards, their slightly comical appearance eliciting a soft chuckle from Xia Yuan.

"By the way, Xia Yuan, do you prefer the pastoral scenery here, or the brightly lit city?"

Alicia tiptoed and approached Xia Yuan.

A gentle breeze ruffled Alicia's bangs.

"Eh~!"

With a gasp from Alicia, Xia Yuan hugged her from behind and spun her around in the field full of cabbages.

At that moment, it seemed as if only he and Ellie remained in the world.

"Whether it's rural life or city scenery, none of that matters. As long as you're by my side, that's more important than anything else. Thank you, Ellie, for always being there for me."

Xia Yuan leaned close to Alicia's ear and whispered something.

The sudden, almost confessional reply left Alicia momentarily dazed. Was this really the Xia Yuan she knew, the one whose cheeks would blush when she teased him?

It was early morning, the sky was bright and the sun was shining. With his personal safety guaranteed, Xia Yuan gradually became bolder, and his curiosity to explore began to burn.

"Xia Yuan, don't do this... other people will see."

But Xia Yuan joked:

"I never imagined that the fearless pink fairy would have a shy side. Hey, is anyone there?"

Xia Yuan shouted to those around him.

But then, in the distant fields, Xia Yuan saw the figure of an old man with white hair farming.

"Oh, Kevin... are you here to plow the fields so early? Good morning."

Alicia smiled and waved to Kevin, who waved back, then suddenly stopped plowing the field.

But Xia Yuan seemed to recall the fear of being turned into an ice sculpture and dared not go up to greet Kevin.

Alicia seemed to notice Xia Yuan's unusual behavior and took his hand, saying:

"Alright, dear Mr. Villain, let's hurry to the cafeteria. Kevin is going there too, so we can explain to him then."

Looking at the hoe held in the other person's hands, Xia Yuan nodded honestly. The hoe was much more lethal than a baseball bat.

As an outsider, Xia Yuan can only act according to Alicia's script at present, and has not yet reached the point where he can explore freely.

Gradually... Xia Yuan and Alicia walked to the area near the foot of the mountain where houses were clustered together.

At the time, it was not noticed from a distance. There seemed to be something strange about this place. To put it simply, many of the dwellings here were abandoned, especially the wooden bungalows on the right, which were almost swallowed up by weeds as tall as a person.

Seeing this scene, no one would doubt that it's an abandoned village, right? It seems Miss Wilvi really ran away after running out of funds for construction.

However, there are still two buildings that stand out from the crowd...

Chapter 274 Grandma Mébius and the Thousand Calamities

One of them is a meeting hall located on a hillside, which seems to be a place for meetings and discussions.

Although it is not large in scale, it is obviously more exquisite than other buildings, as if it is frequently repaired and maintained.

Secondly, there is the canteen.

Although it is a bit old, it is full of life. For this somewhat deserted village, this must be the liveliest place.

As Seele, Tesla, and Ai Yin walked out of the cafeteria, they saw Xia Yuan and Alicia walking towards them.

Good morning, are you all going to be late?

Alicia's words made Xia Yuan realize that in this game, Ai Yin, Dr. Tesla, and Seele were all students.

"This is all thanks to Tesla, who was so slow and dawdling that he made me, Seele, and Dr. Tesla late."

"What the hell, you scrambled-hair guy? You were just stealing my miso soup! Give it back to me!"

Watching Dr. Tesla and Ai Yin argue, Xia Yuan smiled knowingly. They really were a pair of bickering lovers.

"Ha, let's hurry, we might still make it in time!"

Alicia's words prompted Xia Yuan to inwardly complain.

The two doctors were sent to school, and Alicia granted them identities...

However, he really wanted to experience what it was like to go back to school. After being oppressed by Duck for so long, when could he use the Paradise Typewriter to experience the school life again?

Let's wait until we get the videotape from YaYa before considering what to do next.

Afterwards, Ai Yin, Xi'er, and Dr. Tesla followed the path that Xia Yuan and Alicia had just taken and jogged away.

The three left.

At this moment, only Alicia and Xia Yuan remained outside the cafeteria.

"Alright, let's cheer up and head to the cafeteria to see Aponia and the others!"

Alicia clapped her hands and said to Xia Yuan in front of her.

"Ok."

"No, Xia Yuan, you don't look energetic at all. It just makes you seem like you're just going through the motions!"

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, but just smiled and patted Alicia's head, just like he used to stroke the fairy Alicia.

Seeing Alicia's adorable, dazed expression, Xia Yuan took the initiative to pull her through the curtain and into the village's dining hall.
