Light!

Chapter 186: Xu Le in the Dark

lamp

Ge Sini looked towards the window. Yes, why wasn’t the light on

There is no need to explain the rules of the Dark Ages. Lights must be turned on within the range of mental energy fluctuations and cannot be turned off even when sleeping. This is something even children know.

So why not turn on the lights

"Are there any oil lamps?"

"Yes." As a mercenary, Ge Sini has a complete set of commonly used equipment.

"Brother Shu, go up and take a look."

"good."

Needless to say, Wang Shu's skills were very good. He jumped lightly and grabbed the wall of the window, then squatted beside the window, took the oil lamp and shone it inside.

Statues and models, all kinds of colorful clothes, and not much else.

Wang Shu pulled Xu Le up. After Xu Le took a quick look, he didn't find anything wrong.

"The person is gone." Wang Shu said.

"I know."

The two jumped down from the window, Wang Shu pushed the door open holding the lamp, and Xu Le and Ge Sini followed behind.

After taking a quick look around, Gusini turned on the lights in the room.

The room is not small, but not empty either. After all, in addition to a large amount of clothes, there are also many changing rooms separated by curtains.

Wang Shu drew out a broken knife from his waist and lifted the curtains of each room one by one to rule out any places where people might be hiding.

However, he searched all the way to the last one and still found nothing. This cloakroom was indeed empty.

While Wang Shu was inspecting, Xu Le was also looking at the room. The room seemed to be fine, at least there were no distorted ancient secret language hints.

He shifted his gaze back from the mannequins and was about to talk to Wang Shu.

Snap! The lights were turned off.

Although the moon is visible at this time, the sun, which has already completely set, still has some residual glow.

The afterglow made the other half of the sky very red, the clouds were also red, and even the moon looked a little red. In the dark cloakroom, you could just see it through the window.

"You turned it off?" In the darkness, Wang Shu looked at Ge Sini.

"No, I didn't turn it off. I'm not crazy." Ge Sini explained.

"Don't say anything, just stand where you are."

Xu Le knew that something was wrong, but he had no clue what to do. He took the lantern from Gusni and turned on the lights in the room again.

Everything is as before, nothing unusual.

"Could it be that the lights suddenly went out?" asked Ge Sini.

Xu Le glanced at Gusini:

"How old are you this year?"

"I'm 20, what's wrong?"

"You're already 20, and you're still a mercenary. This shouldn't happen."

Ge Sini was stunned, and then felt a little embarrassed and angry. She knew Xu Le was saying that she was incompetent, but now Xu Le was her employer, so she couldn't refute anything.

"I'm just stating a possibility."

Xu Le did not continue to answer her, but looked at the light on the wall and watched silently.

Snap! The lights went out again.

This seemed to be something Xu Le had expected, but after it happened, the three of them all felt something strange and eerie.

It's not just cold, it's the kind of eerie environment that makes people shiver even though the perceived temperature is not very low.

"Were you the one who turned off the light just now?"

"No."

After hearing Xu Le's answer, Ge Sini didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Then... let's just leave here. It's weird here."

Xu Le looked around again. This time he was holding an oil lamp and did not turn on the light. However, he still did not find anything in the relatively dark environment.

"Let's go out first."

"good."

Wang Shu nodded, pushed the door open and walked out first.

Ge Sini was a little panicked, so she followed up second, but after she caught up, Xu Le did not come out again...

This time only lasted a few seconds, and after a few seconds Wang Shu immediately reacted.

"Xu Le? Where's Xu Le?"

Neither Ge Sini nor Wang Shu closed the door, but why was it closed

Ge Sini was frightened by Wang Shu's sudden change of attitude. She looked behind her at a loss:

"I, I don't know. He was following me all the time."

"In any situation, warriors should put sorcerers in the middle. The leader should have taught you this countless times."

"I'm sorry." Gusni lowered her head.

Wang Shu did not continue to bother Ge Sini with her questions. He kicked the door, but he was a level 3 warrior and had the power of the Golden Light Tree, so the door did not move at all after his kick.

The feeling of surprise made Wang Shu stop his actions immediately.

There is a problem with the house, and you cannot continue to destroy it violently, especially when it involves problems with rules. It is best to let a warlock solve it.

Wang Shu stood at the door and turned to Ge Sini beside him and said:

"Go contact the school staff and the Zion Progressors, explain the situation here in general, and ask them to send a warlock to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

"Ah, yes."

Having made the mistake just now, Gusini did not hesitate at all this time and quickly ran in the direction of the Zion Progressor.

Wang Shu looked around and then stretched out his finger.

The fingertips turned into a thin branch and got into the crack of the door, as if trying to open it.

Xu Le in the room pushed the black thing in front of him. It was very cold and didn't look like stone. Instead, it looked like some sticky substance.

Then he pushed the door next to him, and it opened normally.

Xu Le looked out of the window again, and the sky was even darker and redder than before.

Following the light, he could even see the crowd in the distance, the people who were attending the university exchange meeting.

"In other words, I haven't entered a different dimension or something like that? Then what is this black door? A seal?"

Xu Le touched the black door in front of him again, and the sticky feeling soon attached to his fingers.

Xu Le withdrew his hand, and something like black mist spread over his hand. Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly, and the golden lightning instantly dispersed the black mist and illuminated the slightly dark room.

The light in his hand flickered. Xu Le looked at the lantern, his mouth twitching slightly:

"Are you out of gas?"

Just as he finished speaking, the light from the lantern flickered and then went out.

Xu Le really wanted to slap himself in the face, his words would come true.

"This Ge Si Ni, the salary will be deducted."

The lights went out and darkness fell.

Not long after, the distorted prompt that Xu Le was familiar with but had not seen for a long time appeared on the wall in front of him.

The light intensity in the house is less than 3 and is currently in darkness. Level 1 weirdness will occur after 9 minutes and 59 seconds.

"Am I completely isolated in this room? Interesting."

Xu Le turned on the lights in the room again, turned his head to look at the room behind him, and scanned the clothes and mannequins again.

But just like last time, not long after Xu Le turned on the light, it was turned off again.

"There are two possibilities for not having Ancient Sound's multi-hint. The first is that this thing belongs to the Warlock's ability. The second is that it is a secret language of a higher level than Ancient Sound's multi-vision."

Xu Le didn't have a light on his body, so if he wanted some brief illumination at this moment, he could only use the golden thunder to light up his palms.

Sizzle.

With lightning illuminating the house, Xu Le began to walk into the house, but he stopped after taking just one step.

No sound from outside could be heard in the dark room, as if it was isolated from the outside world.

In this almost silent environment, Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because... one of the mannequins not far away was wearing clothes, a red and blue skirt. When the lightning shone on it, the sequins on the skirt would reflect some light.

The smiling mannequin looked at Xu Le. It had no eyes and no movements. It just stood in the normal model's posture. Even Gu Yin's multi-vision couldn't see any problem.

After watching for a while, Xu Le silently took out the black stick and slowly bent his body.

Ai Li sat on the table, staring at the light above his head.

The lights went out three times just now. It's very strange. No one took the initiative to turn off the lights. Is it because the quality of the lights is not good

However, the lights didn't seem to go out any further, and her slightly irritable mood improved a little.

"Am I upset?" Ai Li took out the mental energy blocker with a puzzled expression.

Standing in front of the door, Ai Li looked at the door wall that was like black fog. Instead of touching it directly with his hands, he took a guard sword from the guard and poked it a few times.

The black mist will flow toward the sword like a viscous liquid.

But it will not spread endlessly. It is like some special fluid. The part that sticks to the sword will slowly flow away over time.

Several guards were each escorting a hysterical member of the art troupe. Even Ai Li had no way of judging the current situation, and they did not dare to relax.

One of the soldiers had already started pouring kerosene on the body of the art troupe member who had gone berserk and been killed. Now that there was no way to get out, it was naturally necessary to deal with the body in the house.

When the flames started, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged warlock who was bitten had bandaged his finger. He walked up to Ai Li and said:

"Lord Ai Li, we must be trapped..."

"What's your name?" Ai Li asked.

"My name is Yuga."

"Master Yuga, what is your assessment of the current situation?"

"Although I have never seen this kind of ability, based on my experience, it should be some kind of special seal or curse. We should be sealed in this cloakroom."

"Seal or curse..."

Ai Li pondered for a moment. Even though she was a level 4 warrior, her judgment on the mysterious side was not as good as that of an ordinary warlock, or even a level 1 warlock.

Especially she was not good at solving puzzles and breaking seals, so she could only rely on the middle-aged sorcerer in front of her.

"So do you have any good solution now?"

“No matter what kind of curse it is, it will require a medium. If we find the medium here, we can break the curse. If it is a seal, it may be more troublesome.

We have to find the circuit of the sealing ritual, or the seal hidden here."

Ai Li nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you, Warlock Yuga. If you need anything, please let me know at any time. I will fully cooperate with you."

"Okay, let me take a look at the room first."

As a senior extraordinary person, Ai Li is also aware of the issue of professional specialization, so at this time she will not interfere with Yuga, but will give her full support, because Yuga is the only warlock here.

But Ai Li did not just sit there and wait for death. She took off her left earring.

The style of this earring is very strange, like a small black stick.

Holding the earring tightly, Ai Li quietly waited for Yuga's result.

Yuga first searched every corner of the room, and then checked the black fog door. However, as the inspection time went on, more and more beads of sweat appeared on Yuga's forehead.

Ai Li felt that something was wrong with him? Was it because he felt uncomfortable? Or was it because of... the bite from the artist

"Yuga Warlock, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but the techniques in this place may be more advanced than mine. I still have no idea what they are. Sorry."

"It's okay, just do your best."

Ai Li shook her head slightly. She didn't hold much hope that Yuga would not be able to break the seal here.

Glancing at the mental energy mask in his pocket, Ai Li suddenly thought of someone.

"If that guy were here, maybe he could find a way to solve the situation here."

Irritated, very irritated!

Ai Li took a look at the mental energy mask and confirmed that it was in the open state, and felt that something was wrong.

She held the earring in her hand and weighed it for a few times. Suddenly, a huge mace appeared in Ai Li's hand.

The blood vessels on her forehead bulged slightly, and her entire right arm became thicker.

White hair extended from the arms through the clothes, and at the same time, the mace slammed into the wall.

boom!

Ai Li did not attack the Black Mist Gate. As Yuga said just now, that thing was most likely a warlock's thing.

Warlocks have dirty hearts, so it’s best not to touch their things.

Although it is not advisable to brute force the warlock's moves, she is not without other solutions.

The seal of the ritual is not without limits. Just because she cannot destroy the black fog door, it does not mean that she cannot destroy the wall. If the opponent's ability is really strong enough to cover the entire room with black fog, then it would be really tricky.

With one hit of the stick, the wall broke and the shabby cloakroom began to shake.

The black mist like fluid flowed down from the gap in the wall. Ai Li glanced at the black mist on the mace and frowned again.

"A completely sealed seal? It seems like the worst has really happened?"

Xu Le continued to stare at the model dummy. The dummy's smile was still fake, but for now, it didn't have any extra movements.

"As we all know, there is no one here except me. Assuming I didn't put clothes on the dummy, how did the dummy get its clothes on?"

Xu Le turned around, extinguished the lightning in his hand, and then quickly turned it on again.

When the light illuminated the room again, the dummy moved a few steps closer... and the other dummy also put on clothes, but it remained where it was.

"It only took a blink of an eye..."

Xu Le narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should just burn all those dummies and be done with it

As he didn't smoke on weekdays, he seldom had the opportunity to come into contact with other lighters. He transformed the black stick into the Lifeng lighter that he had used when he first traveled through time.

Xu Le looked at the flammable materials around him and finally chose the curtains nearby.

Tear!

Pulling down the curtains and setting them on fire, Xu Le threw the fireball out, landing on the dummy.

Soon, a burnt smell filled the room. No one knew what material the mannequin was made of.

It seems to be very resistant to burning, and at the same time it also emits a pungent odor.

Is this normal

Not long after, the curtains that Xu Le threw out were burned out, but the body of the dummy was not burned, although the clothes on its body were burned.

Its entire face was blackened by the flames, but its lifeless eyes and the smile on its face remained the same as before.

The nose was slightly melted by the flames, making it look a little fierce, and Xu Le felt as if he had done something stupid.

"Is burning useless? This stench..."

The black stick turned into a black gun, and Xu Le fired six shots at the dummy.

Bang bang bang!

The energy bullet almost blew the dummy's body to pieces, and its face fell heavily to the ground, still looking at Xu Le.

"Look, look at it!"

Bang!

After a shot in the head, Xu Le felt that the world was at peace, but when he looked at the group of dummies again, he suddenly found that there seemed to be one more dummy.

It wasn't that there was one more person, but the dummy that he had smashed on the ground gradually turned into a mist state, and then returned to its original position.

However, only its body recovered; the face that was burned by the flames was still ugly.

It's like it was left there on purpose, what a bad taste.

Seeing this scene, Xu Le has already made a judgment on the current situation.

Warlock!

Definitely a warlock.

Because strange abilities are not that complicated, most of them are simple and crude.

Only the warlock himself could design such an extremely complex ability.

Even the five human puppets in Block 53 of the Lighthouse are essentially sorcerers’ abilities, but they have been tainted by the descendants of Gu Yinduo.

There is an old saying that goes, Warlocks have dirty hearts.

"Only a warlock could design something this disgusting."

Xu Le fanned the air in front of him to dissipate some of the remaining smell.

He already had an idea of the current situation, so he quickly formed hand seals and saved his spiritual energy for the last step, without releasing any spells.

Then he turned around slowly.

By the way, he extinguished the lightning in his hand.

Even closed his eyes.

Count silently to 3, 2, 1.

Xu Le suddenly opened his eyes.

Bang! A puff of white smoke zombie appeared behind Xu Le, but it screamed as soon as it appeared.

The moment Xu Le turned around, the black sword in his hand had already stabbed out.

The black sword pierced into the zombie's body and pierced through the zombie into the upper body of the dummy.

The dummy, already blackened by fireworks, opened its mouth wide.

In fact, the dummy has no mouth, but when it opens its mouth, the prosthesis is torn apart.

The intricate hard material turned into sharp teeth, black mist filled its mouth, and it bit the zombie's shoulder.

The poor zombie had his left arm bitten off by the dummy, and the black sword in Xu Le's hand also twisted slightly.

"Barb, Judgment!"

A bright flash of lightning instantly illuminated the room and exploded in the center of the dummy's body.

The dummy in front of me gradually dissipated into the air like scattered black ashes.

Xu Le snapped his fingers lightly.

"Ritual - Forbidden Summoning Array."

More and more zombies appeared, and their numbers clearly overwhelmed the dummies.

The zombies also rushed forward, and he himself turned into lightning and stabbed the second dummy's body with a black sword.
