"Gunshot."
Harvey immediately stood up, took out the coffin from the space card and told Alice to get up...
"Internal strife? Invasion?" Yin Gula frowned slightly. "Unless they come to rescue us on purpose, this will only delay our escape time. As long as the leader finds time to ask us about the technical system of the Blood Moon Gospel, the three of us Sanctuary magicians will easily find a chance to escape. If the leader has no time to take care of us because of the riot, or forgets about us, or even dies directly, we will be locked up here forever."
Ash murmured: "I have been locked up here..."
"Scared?"
"I was wondering, if we are going to live here for a few years, how should we divide our respective territories?" Ash asked, "Should we divide it into three or four equal parts?"
"There are only three of us, why should we..." Yin Gula was halfway through his words when he saw Alice looking at him and immediately shut up.
"If I'm going to live here for a long time, I'd like to have a research area," Harvey said seriously. "Also, I'll need space for the maintenance and renovation of Alice."
"Even if you are given the space, where will you get the materials?"
Harvey was a little confused: "Aren't we all materials?"
Yin Gula didn't know whether to refute first, "It's not us, it's just you," or "Why do you want to take materials from living people?" Every time Yin Gula thought she had figured out Harvey's bottom line, she found that Harvey had quietly made a new breakthrough, forever young and always full of tears.
"In that case, I need a bathtub." Ash raised his hand: "It's too uncomfortable not to take a bath."
Yin Gula couldn't help it: "Even if I give you space, where do you get the bathtub?"
Ash pointed at the coffin.
Harvey thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. As long as we dry it afterwards, Alice won't mind."
Yin Gula suddenly felt a little out of place: "Are you serious!?"
"If we are locked up here for days, Yin Gula, will you take a shower?"
"Of course... wash!" Yin Gu pulled the corner of his mouth and joined the topic in self-abandonment: "In this case, I suggest that we draw the curtain to protect personal privacy!"
"No." Ash, Harvey, and Alice objected together.
"Why? You guys can discuss such outrageous ideas, but you guys reject all my normal proposals?"
"Because there's no room left, with both the bathtub and the study area." Ash spread his hands, "We'll definitely have to sleep together, and maybe even use the same blanket. Do you still want to draw the curtain?"
"Think about it, we can all fly. We don't have to be confined to the small ground." Ash stood up and patted the padded wall: "For example, we can stick the furniture to this wall, and then-"
boom!
With a dull bang, the padded wall shattered. Ash stepped back half a step and raised his hand to block the smoke and dust. He saw a figure appear in the hole in the wall, and then he immediately drew out his sword and stood with everyone.
Yin Gula and Harvey were also facing a formidable enemy. Alice hugged Harvey from behind, and the Ghost King shackles on Harvey's hands glowed green, and it was obvious that they were ready to merge into one. Yin Gula also hid behind Ash, his lips slightly opened, and a mental scream was already gathering in his throat.
It was understandable that they were so nervous because the visitor was so strange.
He wore a hideous and sharp black crow mask, a cloak that looked like it was woven with hair, a necklace made of nails around his neck, a black and red coat that smelled strongly of blood, a chain belt tied with hand axes, daggers, darts, ropes and other tools, and black steel boots covered with spikes.
This look would not pass review in a gospel film or TV series, but even in Blood Moon, it is considered a very radical postmodern style, and it is the kind of look that can secure the first place in Blood Moon Judgment in advance.
"Is the First Gospel here?" A deep voice came from the Black Crow Mask.
Ash asked, "What do you want from him?"
"I heard from the followers of the Fire of Tribulation that the Holy Temple of Fire of Tribulation summoned the First Gospel, who could channel any great power, but was accidentally defeated by the evil followers of the Four Pillars of God. The Four Pillars of God feared and coveted the powerful power of the First Gospel, so they captured the First Gospel and will use his power to conquer Senluo." Black Crow said, "First of all, I want to see what the First Gospel is capable of, and it would be best if he could compete with me."
Ash glanced at the big hole behind him: "I don't think there is any first gospel in this world..."
"Secondly, I want to rescue the First Gospel and will use all the power of the sect to protect the First Gospel from the harassment of the Four Pillars." Black Crow: "Are you the First Gospel?"
"I can be." Ash said very confidently.
"Let's go." Black Crow jumped down quickly, followed by Ash and others. Although the third floor was a bit high, they could land safely by spreading their wings and staying in the air for a while.
There were not many people around, as if there were no patrols here. Black Crow made such a big noise but no one came to check. There was a bonfire burning in the camp not far away, and the air was full of laughter. Ash just took a look from a distance and felt the urge to join in.
Black Crow was not surprised, and led them through the shadows between the houses, passing along the edge of the camp. When they got close to the center of the camp, Ash and the others saw how agitated these believers were—dancing, lingering, fighting, and self-harming. Everyone was making a lot of noise, crying, and laughing. The area around the campfire was like a whirlpool, sweeping everyone in.
No wonder there is no patrol and no one comes to check, everyone here is busy!
"Hello!"
After being pulled by Yin Gula, Ash realized that he had unknowingly moved a little closer to the center, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Black Crow glanced at him and reminded him: "If you are not a believer, don't get close to the believers' worship ceremony."
worship
Ash looked at those people who were recklessly enjoying themselves, and no matter how hard he thought about it, it had nothing to do with the word "etiquette".
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the campfire seriously.
Yin Gula wanted to slap him and quickly pulled him away: "How dare you look around?!"
"Uh-huh."
Ash retracted his gaze. He had just seen a quiet person standing by the campfire, so quiet that he was out of tune with the surroundings. Although he was somewhat concerned, now was obviously not the time to satisfy his curiosity.
Soon, Black Crow led them to the edge of the camp, walked into an abandoned house and said, "We have to wait here until dawn before leaving. If the Four Pillars Cult comes to chase us, we have to hold out here until dawn."
"Why?" Yin Gula was very curious: "Are there guards outside? But with our strength, ordinary guards can—"
"No. No camp will set up guards at night." Black Crow shook his head: "There is no one outside in the darkness."
"Then why don't we just leave?"
"Because," Black Crow sat down by the door and said word by word:
"It's dark outside, and there's no one."
... ...
...
Next to the bonfire, the carnival gradually came to an end. Yindeng stood among the collapsed crowd, her peaceful posture like a demon lotus in troubled times. A squirrel poked out of her little round hat, but was immediately pushed back by Yan Baihu.
"This way, your world line is completely different from mine."
The quiet girl next to her was looking at the bonfire like her and said, "But I didn't leave the Four Pillars Sect until the end, and I never activated the backup plan."
"I wish I could be as successful as you." Yin Deng sighed, "Maybe I should let the Fire Temple go, or even find a way to make them stronger again. Unfortunately..."
"Isn't this good?" The quiet girl smiled and said, "Since you have already heard from me what the future will be like if the main plan goes well, then if you go and see the scenery of the backup plan yourself, won't you be able to unlock two endings?"
"That makes sense." Yin Deng couldn't help but glance at her. "Your thinking is really similar to mine, and it's different from the 'me' in other world lines brought by the Mirror Dragon. I originally thought that the Mirror Dragon just randomly fabricated and deduced a 'me in other world lines' based on my different choices. Although there are differences, they are just label differences. However, you make me feel very real, as if... I really spent many years in another world line."
"You think I'm real, but you just see your own shadow in me." The quiet girl smiled and said, "According to this logic, do you think everyone around you is fake?"
"That's right."
"So, do you really want to use this thing?" The quiet girl looked around and said, "80% of the people here are magicians. The elite members of the Four Pillars of the Divine Sect in the Jiehuo District are all here. Mercury Trojan will definitely hate you to death."
"Anyway, I won't stay in the Four Pillars Divine Religion. If she has the guts, just chase me."
As she spoke, Yin Deng took out a crystal skull key from her bosom. She inputted magic power into the key and pushed it forward, as if it was really inserted into a keyhole. Then she turned it clockwise and heard a crisp "click" in the space, and then a line-like light path spread in the air, and finally formed a light curtain.
This is Silver Lantern’s greatest gain over the years—the legacy from the Gray Fox God Era!
In that glorious era, it was one of the auxiliary training tools used by magicians!
"Dear user, welcome to the Dragon Blood Training System!"
"It is detected that the user has not logged in. Do you want to log in immediately? As a visitor, you can only choose one primary dragon blood. The remaining number of times this system can be used: 1/3."
"···User data has been collected!"
"... Surrounding environment data has been collected!"
"Please select the dragon blood factor you want to condense: 1. Silver dragon blood 2. Gold dragon blood (unlocked) 3. Color dragon blood (unlocked) 4...."
"Silver Dragon Blood has been selected!"
"Please determine the range of life energy collection. Note: It is recommended to use the Fish-Slaying Dragon, Fox-Lamp Dragon or other virtual creatures as the source of life energy."
A surrounding map and a movable and shrinking red circle appeared on the light screen. The silver light expanded the red circle to cover the entire hospital camp, and the selection was confirmed.
"The basic life energy required for 1 drop of silver dragon blood: 100 units. The life energy currently collected within the range: 54111300 units, a total of 541113 drops of silver dragon blood can be condensed."
"Warning: Some life units have been detected with energy similar to that of intelligent creatures. Do you want to continue?"
"Confirm to continue. The Dragon Blood Training System will conduct three safety checks."

"Practice begins. Please remain still. The system will condense and replace your blood."
got windy.
The wind gently caressed the back of the believer's neck, taking away all the energy in his body, leaving behind only a dry body and a weak soul. A new vortex appeared, it was quiet, gentle, and cruel. One by one, the believers closed their eyes in exhaustion, and one by one, the magicians fell in the virtual world. Everything they had turned into silver energy and gathered around the silver lamp.
The vortex grew larger and larger, covering not only the campfire, but also the houses and kitchens, all the way to the edge of the camp, until the largest camp in the fire zone became a prisoner of the vortex.
"This scale of death is enough to rank in the top ten even in my history." The quiet girl sighed, "It is rare to blow out so many people at once."
"Compared to the eternity of the virtual world, the moment of reality is just an illusion." Silver Lamp said: "Death is not falling into a long sleep, but waking up from a dream."
"Since they are going back to their hometown." Yin Deng smiled slightly: "Why not leave everything to me."
