Realizing that Benjamin had directly intervened in Master Michelangelo's resurrection ceremony... For Annan and the others, this was actually good news.
Even if Benjamin would not directly come forward in order to maintain the false information that "he is dead".
But at least, it can be regarded as one more friendly army that will only appear in the dark...
Probably allies.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's battle, Annan asked the players to go to bed early. Try to go online early in the morning after breakfast tomorrow—they only know that the day when the ceremony started was December 14, 1503, but they don't know exactly which hour on the 14th it is.
If it's early morning, consider yourself unlucky.
But as long as it is not early in the morning, players should be allowed to go to bed early and get up early. Get ready for battle in time—
After persuading the players to log off, Annan also went to bed early.
In order to take care of each other, Salvatore stayed in Annan's bedroom to read a book before three o'clock in the morning... The purpose was to make himself sleepy as soon as possible, so that he could fall asleep immediately at three o'clock in the morning.
"Confirm again."
Annan closed his eyes and said softly, "Tomorrow, His Excellency Bishop and I will try our best to wake up before the sun rises, and we will be responsible for the preparations for No. 44, Qingshui Street and No. 12, Rusty Water Street respectively."
"As soon as you, Yiyi, and the old goose wake up, go to my place to assist in the defense; Her Highness Kafni and the other two go to Rustwater Street for reinforcements after waking up..."
According to previous experiments, Annan confirmed that the two mirror-symmetric ceremonies are indeed interlocked-all the doors of one house are opened, and the doors of the other house are all closed immediately.
And this interlock has a premise...
No matter whether the door of Qingshui Street is closed or opened, it will not have any impact on the present Noterdam.
But only when the "present" Noterdam stays at home, the door of the "past" Noterdam can be closed, and the two people from the past can temporarily appear in this world.
Otherwise, when the last door is closed at Notterdam's house on Rustwater Street... several doors here on Clearwater Street will pop open at the same time, and the two people from the past will disappear immediately.
It was as if the network cable was unplugged, and the two of them dropped the line at the same time.
This was supposed to be an insurance measure in case the two Noterdams met inadvertently.
But this also made Annan and the others have to guard against two directions at the same time—
Not only to protect the "past" Mr. Noterdamm, but also his wife, Merris Noterdamm, who was about to give birth and died a few years ago.
At the same time, in this process, the current Noterdam must not be able to go out the whole time.
Otherwise, once he goes out, the two people from the past will suddenly disappear.
So Annan's arrangement is like this.
He and Salvatore have the Philosopher's Stone in their hands, and their explosive power in a short period of time is the strongest. Together with Yiyi, who has the strongest protective ability, and the old goose, who is the most balanced and stable, the four of them are responsible for guarding the pregnant woman.
On the other hand, Kafni has a very strong non-lethal control ability on people - the child can manipulate and change the terrain, and when the infinite resurrection is activated, she immediately turns into a mad dog and does not lack the ability to attack.
At the same time, the bishop and Cafney have a higher status, and Jiu'er and the child are also good at chatting. They can block people from the outside, and they can also control the "now Noterdam" internally, keeping him from going out all day.
Both Annan and the bishop have the ability to attack spirits, which can prevent the possibility of the Church of the Rotten calling spirits; there are players on both sides, and they can also communicate across distances on the forum.
This arrangement was the best situation Annan could think of.
No matter which side encounters the monster at the highest level of the silver rank, it will not be completely unable to fight back.
And the extraordinary player has activated infinite resurrection, which is powerful enough to fight against ordinary minions.
As long as it can be held back, the other side can come to support in time.
… No matter how you look at it, it’s safe.
"But what am I forgetting..."
Annan frowned slightly.
He always felt that he seemed to have missed something somewhere.
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it. When the time comes, adapt to the situation—there is the Philosopher's Stone. And according to what you said, Teacher Benjamin may help at any time. It is impossible for him to see the ceremony fail."
Salvatore turned another page of the book under the dim light, looked at Annan with a frown, and said disapprovingly, "Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, good night then."
Annan hummed and shrank back under the quilt.
With strong self-discipline, he controlled himself to stop thinking immediately. Fell asleep in a very short time.
And when Annan woke up in a daze...
He glanced out the window.
Suddenly realized something was wrong—
With his precise biological clock, he can roughly judge without looking at the watch. It should be around 5:30 in the morning.
-So.
What is "that" outside the window
I saw the bright red sun hanging in the sky.
That was not the golden sun wrapped around a triple hollow ring—now Annan already knew that the golden sun was the symbol of Mr. Yao.
But now the "sun" outside the window is like the setting sun when it was on the earth.
Not only did it not have any runes or rings around it, but it was shrouded in a thin layer of golden light.
These rays of light only shrouded its surroundings, and beyond that was a circle of dense blackness.
further out—
It is overwhelming, rich and deep blood.
Not just the sky.
The entire street was shrouded in an extremely abnormal blood color.
The next moment, Annan suddenly heard a low, faint sound of drums beating.
There was a thunderous bang.
Sounds from all directions.
About nine seconds later, the strange low hum sounded again.
Annan carefully distinguished for a while, and was a little surprised to find...
It seems that it came from his own heart.
Or.
This thunderous drum seems to be ringing from the chests of the entire city...or at least the entire street!
"… What's this?"
This is... a ritual of the Church of the Rotten Man
Or Michelangelo's ceremony
Annan looked serious.
Regardless of the cold air outside the quilt, he immediately jumped up from the bed and got dressed in a very short time.
Rushing to Salvatore's room, Annan hesitated for a moment, then paused.
… Shall I call Salvatore
If the ceremony had indeed begun—on either side—it might be too late to call Salvatore back.
But what if this is just a prelude
While Annan was thinking, Salvatore opened the door with an extremely tired expression, and hurriedly put on his coat while yawning.
Seeing Annan standing at the door, he frowned slightly: "Why didn't you call me?"
"… fine."
Annan threw away those wild thoughts and nodded to Salvatore: "Just wake up.
"What kind of ceremony is this?"
"On the way-"
Salvatore picked up the suitcase and replied briefly: "Take all your things!
"Let's go to Qingshui Street first!"
