In the shadow of the corner at the end of the broken staircase, a faint aura suddenly appeared at some point, and Bai Huo was immediately alert when Vivienne gave a warning. She held the holy silver short sword in one hand, and the other A small white spark jumped out silently from the fingertips of his hand, while Tutanin made a gesture to the other witchers, and everyone immediately hid their figures under a nearby low wall and shielded their bodies. own breath.
The aura in the shadows was getting closer and closer, and finally, a figure dressed in black slowly emerged from the darkness. The figure walked forward unhurriedly, seemingly completely unaware of the dozens of demon hunters ambushing nearby. After getting close enough, Hao Ren recognized that it was a short woman: she was wearing a demon hunter logo He was dressed in black attire, his hair covered most of his face, and he couldn't see any weapons on his body. Her steps were slow and light, staggering like sleepwalking, and the skin exposed under her hair looked a little pale, which made people think of the dead.
The female witcher in black just walked towards the direction where everyone was hiding in a trance, but turned in the other direction halfway, as if she really didn't notice the aura here. The moment she turned around, Bai Huo suddenly saw the entire face of the huntress, and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "... Elder Andahel!?"
The other demon hunters also recognized that the woman in a trance was Andahel, who had been captured by the Presbyterian Church before. Everyone's eyes suddenly changed, but there was no commotion. Bai Huo and Tutan used secret techniques to chat quickly: "Elder Andahel was taken away by the Presbyterian Church not long after the war started?" "There is something wrong with her state..." "There is only her breath in front ""You and others stay here to wait for the opportunity, I will try it out."
After finishing his discussion with White Flame, Tutan quietly came out from the hiding corner and approached the elder witcher from behind Andahel. When the two were still a few steps away, Andahel finally reacted. She stopped hesitantly, but did not turn around.
"Elder Andahel," Tutan said in a deep voice as he was ready to be attacked at any time, "Why are you here?"
Andahel's eyes finally landed on Tutan after a few erratic movements, and she looked at the colleague in front of her quietly. There was no emotion in the empty and indifferent eyes, and there was no response until a few seconds later. She nodded slightly: "Tutain, long time no see."
The voice was indifferent and calm, like the most common daily greeting, not at all the reaction that should be had in this situation!
Tutan also felt that Andahel was in a strange state, but he continued to ask: "Elder Andahel, did you know what happened to the saints?"
As he asked, he gestured to the people who were hiding. So Bai Huo led other demon hunters out of the hiding corner, and finally even Hao Ren, Vivian and others also came out. However, in the face of these people who suddenly appeared, Andahel's face did not change at all, and her voice was still flat: "Saints? The saints are all well. Ah, have you seen Gordon? Saint Bedoli Si is holding a seminar..."
Tutan did not answer Andahel, but just looked at him quietly, and the latter stopped talking, and stood there like a puppet without moving.
Andahel-Hao Ren once had a relationship with this elder witcher, and that was during the Ancatero incident. This female elder is one of the few survivors under the attack of the Shadow of Chaos, and she is also a rational group among demon hunters who has a relatively rational view on the behavior of "hunting aliens". After the outbreak of the demon hunter civil strife, Andahel, who returned from the territory of Ankatero with Hasu, was also attacked by the elder order. And he was arrested at the beginning of the civil war, and his life and death were unknown in the bell tower of the spirit world.
I didn't expect her to appear in front of everyone in this state: she looked like she had lost her soul.
Interestingly. Hao Ren remembered that the last time he saw Andahel, she was in the same state as today - but last time she was temporarily mentally handicapped by her "mind bound" spell, and why this time
He was not the only one who had this kind of thought, and Vivian next to him was also muttering: "Why does she look like an idiot every time I see her... Is it mind control?"
Hao Ren took out the data terminal from his pocket and looked at Andahel twice. The terminal then reported: "It's not mind control, but the intensity of mental activity is very low, and... her soul doesn't seem to be completely in this place."
Andahel just kept looking at what was happening in front of her with almost dull eyes. Even though Hao Ren and Vivian were not demon hunters, she didn't feel anything wrong with these people appearing in the clock tower of the spirit world. And she even recognized Hao Ren: "... Long time no see, Hao Ren. And Your Excellency the Countess."
Bai Huo stretched out his hand boldly before Andahel's eyes: "Elder, where are you going?"
Andahel's eyes looked at the white fire. But his eyes seemed to be focused on a distant place: "Sage Bedoris is holding a seminar... Ah, yes, the seminar, I have to go there first. If you see Gordon, remember to bring him. "
While speaking, Andahel turned his head and walked away in another direction, turning a blind eye to the demon hunters around him.
Hao Ren winked at Bai Huo, and immediately followed Andahel's footsteps—as expected, the other party didn't respond at all.
The scene that followed was strange: a female witcher with a pale face and dazed eyes walked in front, and dozens of heavily armed and murderous warriors followed her a few meters away, and the entire team did not make a sound , In the dark and strange stairs and corridors of the clock tower of the spirit world, this group of people walked silently like a group of ghosts.
Andahel was in a strange state, and Tutan was very suspicious of where this trance elder would take everyone, and he was even more worried that he would be attacked by other sober and hostile demon hunters on the road (although as far as it seems, This place is hellishly quiet), so he assigned some of the fighters to the back row and asked them to keep a covert track a little farther away from the team, so that if there was any problem ahead, these hidden combat masters would come in handy .
And Vivienne is also constantly releasing her little bats to explore the surrounding situation. She is very careful to let those little bats advance along the shadows of corridors and stairs, and avoid going to large open areas between building structures—according to Tut According to Yin, the empty space in the bell tower of the spirit world hides the vortex of space-time contradictions, which is a more dangerous trap than the space rift. Once caught in it, it is almost impossible to survive.
But Andahel didn't respond to all this. She walked ahead like a puppet acting according to the program, leading everyone up a narrow stone staircase, and then through a series of intricate suspension bridges and aerial corridors. Finally, they came to a rather heavy black door.
This door is inlaid on a cracked wall, and the wall stands alone on the edge of a hollow platform. From the perspective of vision and spatial structure, there is nothing behind the door.
However, after Andahel pushed open the door, Hao Ren saw behind it a spacious and bright place filled with warm lights.
Since these buildings of the Goddess of Creation have taken into account the size of the guardian giant, all the rooms in the clock tower of the spirit world are also extremely large. Behind the gate that is more than ten meters high is a place that can be described as a hall. It used to be roughly It was the personal lounge of some Guardian Giant, but now it was enough to be a gathering place for witchers in large numbers. Hao Ren saw a long table in the room—this table must have been added by the witcher in the later stage, and there was a neat row of candlesticks on the table emitting a constant and bright light: although the witcher also used Modern things, but they seem to be very fond of this ancient and primitive gadget in this holy place.
On both sides of the long table, sat dozens of demon hunters dressed in black.
When Tuttan saw so many witchers in the room, he immediately became nervous, because he noticed that some of them had the signature silver trim of the Order of the Elders on their collars, but he soon noticed that the witchers Everyone is in the same state as Andahel: sitting there like a puppet, unaware of the surrounding atmosphere.
It's like losing your soul.
The scene in the room was like a scene from a horror movie. Hao Ren felt his hairs stand on end as he watched it.
