When heavy rain was pouring and thunder was roaring, the black wind carried Sandy and the clear sky into the territory of the intersection station.

Before I could observe the appearance of the entire station, the rain curtain had already soaked the whole world into a gray curtain, so that the people who had nowhere to be covered were wet, making Qingzhang almost unable to see the surroundings and the way ahead.

Heifeng had already received instructions from his master to arrive at the hotel as soon as possible, so he ran to the three-story wooden building without stopping, and then stopped with a loud scream.

Sandy and Qingkong immediately jumped off their horses. Before running into the house, Sandy patted Black Wind's left ear. The very spiritual creature turned to one side and rushed into the stable, and went into their respective sheds with their masters one after another, a place to shelter from the rain.

Pushing open the sturdy wooden door, a thin man was standing in front of the counter on the side of the front hall to settle the score. Seeing Sandy and Qingkong walking in, the pursed lips on the face of the knife trembled and said tremblingly: "Welcome to the intersection hotel..."

"Boss, make a registration." Sandy patted Qingkong's back, prompting her for the next step, and then continued to make her own request, "Come two bowls of hot soup, hot wine, no matter what soup it can warm the stomach, it must be hot! Then come a good portion of venison and roast chicken. I was hungry and cold by the damn rainstorm."

"Yes, yes... I'll go prepare now." The boss was socializing, and as he saw Qingkong put his palm on the counter and register, he walked towards the kitchen tremblingly.

After Qingkong finished registering, he stepped into the dining area full of dilapidated wooden tables. However, Sandy, who was the first to walk in, stood in the center of the empty room, looked around, and looked at an empty table to sit down, and greeted him: "Sandy, come and sit down here."

"A little strange." Sandy came over and sat down with a frown, whispering his worries, "There is no one here, it's really weird..."

"Maybe it was the heavy rain that blocked everyone's journey, but we happened to catch up with a gap without guests, and it wasn't certain that it was......" Qingkong looked around and felt a little panicked, but it was still comforting Sandy like this, which was considered self-comfort.

"The gap period without guests? This is impossible..." Sandy almost did not hesitate to answer his opinions, "The intersection is a very important post station hub in Keen Continent. It is located on the North and South Avenue. Walk northward, cross Wuyu Mountain, cross the Shining River, and cross the Qiqi Town, and you can reach the Apocalypse City all the way. In addition, the Green Dragon Mountains are connected to the east, which is said to be one of the paths to the bottom of the Rainbow Valley and the Rainbow Moon City. It is only recently that the Dragon Slaying City mysteriously disappeared, and the mountain secret passage buried under it disappeared, which made this route gradually depressed. However, from here to the west is the necessary way to the Red Shirt Palace and the Holy Monastery. In short, the most important cities and palaces leading to Keen Continent need to pass through this post. In my impression, this place has always been a place where people come and go, and travelers are busy traveling..."

As the two were talking, the hotel owner brought hot wine, hot soup, venison, and roasted chicken. Just as he was about to leave, Sandy grabbed his wrist and asked, "Boss, why is the business so depressed today? Are there no other customers except us?"

The hotel owner's thin face was obviously a little blue, and his lips as thin as paper moved slightly, and then he said softly: "Customer, don't ask too much. Just eat good food and go upstairs to rest. I'm afraid there will be no peace tonight..."

"What does this mean?" Sandy frowned even deeper. "Can't you clearly explain where the people at the station are going?"

The hotel owner's body finally began to tremble obviously. The fear was so real that Qingkong almost forgot that he was just a system character in the game.

"Die... Lots of people died..." The boss finally trembled with fear, "Just an hour ago, before the heavy rain came, about a dozen people broke in, killed almost all the travelers here, and then left. Only a few survived, now they were hiding in the room upstairs and dared not come out... It seems that the murderers seemed to be looking for someone or something. I feel that they will come back soon because they checked the backpacks of each person who was killed, but did not take away all the valuable things... Two guests, I advise you to finish your meal and go upstairs to hide..."

After hearing this, Sandy finally let go of the boss's wrist, let him go, and fell into a brief meditation.

"Is this also a PVP confrontation between players?" Seeing that Sandy didn't say anything for a long time, Qingkong finally resisted his questions.

"It should be that the system characters suddenly massacred players, which is unreasonable. Moreover, after killing NPCs, they should not turn over their backpacks, right?" Sandy took a sip of the hot wine and then put down the wine bowl hard. "But even the PVP confrontation between players is very unreasonable in my opinion!"

"Oh? Why is it unreasonable?" Qingkong asked again.

"The players gathered here are all kinds of people, and there are people coming and going. What profession is not there? Even if there is a fierce fight, there are usually logistics professions such as priests, paladins, druids, monks, etc. to extend a helping hand to heal the wounded and resurrect the dead. Even if all logistics professions die, one hour is enough if they return from Rashomon to resurrect the soul... But, you see, the fierce fight that happened one hour ago has not been back now, isn't it strange? "Sandy put his left fist under his breath and put his thinking posture, "In addition, these players conduct such a large-scale massacre in a safe area, which will inevitably arouse NPCs to attack. You must know that massacre in a safe area is a serious violation of regulations. NPCs will judge and intervene in a certain order.

First of all, characters with high hatred value are basically impossible to enter the safe area of ​​hostile forces. Once they enter, they will be immediately attacked by militias and patrolmen, and these system characters are continuous.

Next, if their state is in a friendly state in this territory, the person who actively launches an attack in a safe area will be judged by the NPC to be wrong and intervene. Therefore, if a player wants to compete, either go to an arena specifically used for competition or apply to the battlefield, or make an appointment to resolve grudges in the wild area.

In this way, according to the description of the hotel owner, these people are so cruel and dangerous, and they must have a great hatred value in Keane's territory. I'm afraid that the militia and patrol soldiers at the post station will be killed by them in batches..."

"If they even killed NPCs, why is the hotel owner not dead yet?"

"NPCs with special functions will take the initiative to hide when encountering fierce fighting and danger, or activate protective skills, which will not be easy to die." Sandy explained.

"It's really strange to hear what you said... What happened here?" After hearing Sandy's analysis, Qingkong couldn't help frowning.

"Didn't the boss say that these people may come back? It's windy and rainy outside, and I can't even see the road clearly, let alone conduct some investigations. Let's stay here for the time being, take a break, and wait and see what's going on." Sandy said, and began to eat his wine and meat in big mouthfuls.

The topic became heavy, the two fell into silence, and Qingkong began to eat dinner attentively and quickly.

-

After dinner, Sandy asked Qingkong to go back to the house to rest and fall asleep as soon as possible. Never take a step out of the room tonight. Then the two went upstairs and returned to their respective rooms.

In the room with a slightly moldy smell, the sky outside the room was lightning, and the room that had just turned off was flashing. The hourglass pointed at halfway through Haishi. Lying on the slightly hard bed, Qingzhang digested the conversation between the day and Sandy while wondering whether to go to a sleepy state. A sudden sound of horse hooves and steps caused by mud and water collisions suddenly sounded outside the window.

Qingkong immediately got up from the bed, his body approached the window, poked out half of his eyes, and looked out--

In the hazy view covered by the heavy rain in the curtains, in the open space outside the hotel stable, there seemed to be a crowd of people standing in a dark and dark hooded cloak, with their hoods covering their heads, and their faces were completely invisible.

The people in black jumped off their mounts one by one. Qingkong found that their mounts were not as neat as their cloaks, with different shapes and heights. In addition to the horses, there seemed to be other creatures. The mounts obediently entered the stables, and the people in black walked into the gate of the crossroads hotel.

[It seems that as the hotel owner said, all the people who slaughtered innocent people in the daytime came back?] Qingkong's heartbeat was several beats faster. She struggled in the dark for a while, and finally walked to the door gently and reached out to open the door of the room.

Qingkong's front foot had just stepped out of the room, and one hand was placed on her right shoulder-
