Annan and Benjamin walked down the stairs carefully.
There was dust all over the stairs and cobwebs all over the head.
Fortunately, neither the "Evelyn" played by Annan nor the young Benjamin are tall. Otherwise, it would basically be two steps to hit a web, two steps to hit a web... the spider's family would be destroyed.
But even so, they dare not go too fast.
The dust on the ground was so thick that it was even slippery—
"... It's too dirty here."
Benjamin couldn't help complaining.
"This church..."
Annan said softly: "Do you know its history, Benjamin
"I'm curious."
"Well, I probably understand..."
Although he knew that there was no one here, Benjamin subconsciously lowered his voice and said softly, "It should have been built more than a hundred years ago. Specifically, it should be... 120 years? Maybe 128 years, Well, or one hundred and eighteen years...
"Forget it, don't worry about it. Anyway, it was built by the Pale Princess herself. In the name of the 'God of Song and Dance' as a cover, it was used as the frontline fortress of the Necromancer Alliance—do you know what 'fortress' means? ?”
Speaking of this, Benjamin's voice rose instinctively, and he said incessantly: "That is to say, there should have been guards here, not only that, but also city defense weapons! I remember that there should be at least eighteen Bone crossbow, a watchtower—this number is roughly determined by the wreckage and traces left by the scholars after the troops searched the capital and cleared the supplies. It may have other arrangements, but we can no longer see it... "
When he said this, his voice became softer and softer.
Benjamin paused for a moment, turned around and asked hesitantly and timidly, "You... don't you like to hear this?"
"I am listening… "
Annan subconsciously said the sentence he had heard many times.
But he soon realized it, and corrected it, changing a set of euphemisms that were more acceptable to Benjamin:
"I'm a little afraid, Benjamin."
Annan made a very low voice, but it was enough for Benjamin to hear clearly in the empty corridor: "You can just say something, don't stop..."
"... oh, that's good."
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and then attributed it to Evelyn's fear of the dark.
So he simply cleared his throat, and began to show off his knowledge in a serious manner:
"Can you imagine, Evelyn? Those eighteen huge bone crossbows, the size of bed crossbows, are placed on the ceiling - enemies from all directions can't get around! It only takes four or five seconds to shoot the crossbow arrows, but there are But the bone arrows of the soul will chase after them like wild dogs! Every shot will hit! That's very cool! I think, at that time, it must not only be the believers of the buried mother who came to encircle the Necromancer Alliance. Because these bed crossbows should be for ordinary people. man prepared...
"Oh yes! There are also evil spirits!"
Benjamin talked about the excitement, his voice became louder, and he shouted happily: "Did you know that Evelyn, the priests of the Pale Princess, can leave the body like evil spirits!
"Ordinary people can't see them at all, they can only see the white glow... Yes, the teacher told me that the pale tide is made up of evil spirits, you say it's amazing!"
For some reason, Benjamin's words rang in Annan's ears, especially loudly.
He was even a little dazed suddenly—
After a sudden whirlwind, Annan's hand holding Benjamin suddenly disappeared.
He staggered and slid several steps down the steps.
Fortunately, he was already very close to the tail, so no one accidentally fell off.
"...well. Benji..."
Annan bared his teeth and slowly stood up from the ground.
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly froze for a moment.
The light of the green fire above his head was still extinguished.
"Benjamin?"
Annan yelled softly.
But in the darkness, no answer came.
He frowned slightly, and subconsciously opened the task list.
Annan's whole body stopped moving.
I saw that the mission read:
[Main task: go home]
[Keep the body intact]
[Do not talk to anyone]
[Back to reality]
"… what's the situation?"
Annan blurted out.
He was baffled by this.
He is... back again
Are these missions over
The art of nesting dolls
Annan hesitated for a moment, whether to go up again or continue exploring below.
He thought about it and decided to move on.
Evelyn had entered the dream at the water's edge before, so it was released after he returned to the water's edge. And now... Annan can't guarantee that if he goes back again, he can still be relieved.
And without Benjamin's light, it's okay to go up the steps... but it's hard to go down the steps.
So Annan groped against the wall and continued to walk forward.
Annan remembered that after entering the basement, he went straight to the end. After passing the original "prison", there is a passage to the right at the end.
I don't know if he came back this time, the guard on the left passage of the prison is still there...
Fortunately, he was lucky.
Until Annan walked along the right wall to the end of the corridor, he didn't hear any footsteps.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately... probably not there.
After all, it was too dark here. And Evelyn doesn't have dark vision at all, and can only barely see where the wall is through the little light that leaks in, so that she won't hit the wall.
But after Annan walked around the long corridor, he finally saw a little light—
Is it a candle
Annan was a little curious, and also became a bit vigilant.
If there are candles, it means someone must be there!
But when Annan moved forward halfway to the corner corridor in the silent basement, he suddenly heard two loud noises behind him!
"Boom! Boom!"
... What's happening
Annan's pupils shrank slightly.
Annan didn't feel frightened, he just stopped for the first time and squatted down to narrow down his target.
He had some regrets—should have returned to the entrance first and taken the bladed iron chain.
However, Annan still narrowed his eyes slightly, and touched back silently.
If someone wants to pass by here... Annan has enough self-confidence to throw him down and strangle him the moment it passes the corner!
But before Annan walked slowly to the corner, he was suddenly taken aback.
Loud bang... There were six.
... six strokes
There was only a bang, and Annan heard the familiar sound of the prison door being kicked open.
Then, there was the sound of iron chains being dragged on the ground and rattling.
"… Huh?"
Annan let out a sigh.
He suddenly felt a little scalp tingling—
At that moment, Annan seemed to understand something.
The soft voice of the girl at the corner...
Fresh water on the ground...
The quest to not talk to anyone...
What I saw when I entered the dungeon before... was my current self!
Without hesitation, Annan ran towards the bright place—
According to this logic, the person who lit the candle at the end of the corner was probably also "Evelyn"!
— It's future Evelyn!
