“Are there really zombies?”
Zhou Chuan frowned and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Although the style of painting is a bit weird, it seems normal in this extraordinary world
"Never mind. Who would go out to watch the fun in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Chuan thought to himself, reached out to adjust the lampshade to make the candlelight dimmer, then put away the book and prepared to rest.
But after all, he was alone in a foreign country. Even with the endorsement of the Card Makers Association, he would not completely trust this store and the old man who obviously saw something.
After taking a gulp of the mental recovery potion distributed by the association, he sat down cross-legged to practice mental training. Although this kind of rest is not as effective as sleep, it is safer.
Just in case, Zhou Chuan summoned the Seventh and Eighth Masters and asked them to work the night shift.
If you just materialize the spirit card without fighting, the mental consumption is not that great.
"Why do I feel so chilly?"
After practicing for a while, Zhou Chuan, who felt a chill on his back, could not help but put on his coat. With the dim candlelight, he could clearly see two figures, one black and one white, staring at him.
I saw the soul-catching chain again, reflecting the cold light under the moonlight. The night wind came in through the half-open window, causing the white silk on the mourning stick to flutter slightly.
I didn't know and thought they were here to arrest him...
This scene is somewhat down-to-earth.
"call."
Zhou Chuan slowly exhaled a breath and was about to enter the state of cultivation again when he heard a slight sound coming from outside.
With his keen hearing from the two purple card feedbacks, he could barely make out that the sound came from the stairs. Although it seemed a bit dull, the familiar tone could not deceive anyone.
"Is it the old man surnamed Wang?"
Zhou Chuan made a judgment in his mind and immediately shook his head:
This kind of noise is clearly produced by a very heavy person passing by. Judging from the old man's short and hunchbacked appearance, his weight would not exceed 110 pounds. How could he have made such a noise
"It's time to go to work, Black and White Impermanence."
As Zhou Chuanxin said this, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, who had been standing in the room like withered statues, instantly "came to life", moved ethereally and stood in front of him to protect him.
Through the thick wooden door, Zhou Chuan carefully distinguished the movements outside.
"There's definitely more than one person going upstairs!"
Zhou Chuan spread his mental focus to half of the floor and clearly sensed that no less than forty figures were walking in an orderly manner towards the rooms where the students were staying.
The footwork of these people is not simple and is definitely not some unorthodox method.
If this inn wasn't so old, he wouldn't be able to detect it even with his five senses among the modern hotels.
But then again, why would such a well-trained person visit this inn in the middle of the night? If he wanted to do something to these students, how could he leave such a big loophole
There are so many strange cards in this world, it is not easy for them to cover up their actions.
Unless... they left these loopholes on purpose.
In an instant, his mind was full of thoughts, like lightning flashing through his mind, and a guess suddenly emerged in Zhou Chuan's mind: Could it be... the real finals began from this moment
Zhou Chuan speculated and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
From all the previous events, it can be judged that the information and arrangements between the card makers' associations at all levels are not interconnected.
Just like in the rematch, the Ghost Battle Road tested both "weapon cards" and "skill cards" instead of just one as He Lengfeng said, the arrangements made by the upper-level Card Makers Association did not need to be communicated to the lower levels.
Similarly, the information Zhao Peng received might also be incomplete. At this moment, Zhou Chuan suddenly thought of the words left by Lao Du before he left, "I'll have an explanation in three days," and he suddenly understood.
Just like Patriarch Bodhi knocking Monkey King on the forehead, Lao Du's words might be the first hint from the organizers to the contestants, and the deliberate noise made by those people outside should be the second.
But at this point, he couldn't guarantee that his guess was true. He could only say that he was 70% to 80% sure, and that was enough.
"Let's play all the cards this time."
Zhou Chuan thought about it, and then asked the Black and White Impermanence to guard both sides of the door, and he jumped lightly to the roof beam.
There is no way. The only thing that silver-level mental power can bring is physical strengthening and some small tricks such as perception and micro-control. It is not like the subsequent levels that can share the abilities of a fixed number of spirit cards.
Nowadays, his ability to protect himself is still very limited, so it is very necessary for him to keep something in reserve.
"coming."
Zhou Chuan said this in his heart, silently summoned the Ghost Wall and held it between his fingertips, waiting for someone to come.
…
"Aze, be careful. The guy you are in charge of has the highest overall rating in the Ghost Battle Way so far. Don't let him capsize in the gutter."
In the corridor of the inn, a special warfare operator dressed in black received the message from the captain.
"receive."
Ah Ze simply replied, and carefully approached the door without any hesitation. However, this scene fell into the eyes of Mr. Wang who was sitting opposite and drinking tea: "It's going to be miserable."
At the same time, Zhou Chuan, who was lying on his back on the beam, didn't hear any movement for a long time, so he spent a lot of energy to briefly connect to the perception sharing of Black and White Impermanence, and finally found his "opponent" outside against the wall.
This guy named "Aze" is obviously a very cautious guy.
Unlike his comrades who held back when dealing with the students, this man gave up the idea of entering through the main gate after receiving the captain's message. Instead, he took out a skill card with a white border to pass through the wall and tried to break out from the flank.
After Zhou Chuan grasped his intention, he ordered the Black and White Impermanence to wait at the position he designated.
At this moment, a barely audible sound was heard, and a large hole large enough for one person to pass through suddenly appeared in the middle of the wall. Operator Aze, who always put caution first, slipped in carefully.
"still sleeping?"
Aze looked at the wooden bed in the room. He could vaguely see a bloated figure on it, who seemed to be sleeping.
"That's a bit careless, young man."
Aze thought about it, raised his hand and summoned a light mace, and smashed it towards the bed with room for maneuver.
But it was like a drop in the ocean. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and grabbed the steel mace tightly, and then threw it lightly, causing Aze to fly backwards.
But before he fell far, an iron chain came after him, coiled around him like a python, and bound Aze again, pulling him closer.
The situation changed a lot in a short period of time. Aze only vaguely saw a tall hat with the words "Peace in the World" written on it, and a pair of fierce eyes flashing with cold light.
"Sack the Clown's puppet."
Feeling the force from the chains gradually increasing, Aze cried out softly in his heart. With the sound of wood breaking, the card collapsed, and his body barely escaped the control of the chains and fell directly to the ground.
But before he could catch his breath, he felt something caressing his cheek. He reached out and grabbed it, but it was a white silk thread.
"WTF."
He thought in some confusion.
