At five o'clock in the afternoon, dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder broke out.
The local municipal government has issued a red warning for thunderstorms, canceled all outdoor Halloween celebrations, and advised citizens not to go out on foot.
At this point in time, the three members of Blade... came to the old house on Dark Creek Road.
The three of them naturally didn't know that one person was killed on the front line of hell. From their perspective, their side is now in a three-on-four unfavorable situation. Therefore, the strategy chosen by Tanlang is to temporarily avoid direct conflicts, develop the plot as much as possible, and fill the disadvantages with the benefits in the script.
"It seems that someone got there first..." Seeing the ambulance parked in front of the old house, Brother Long muttered.
"Why do I feel... this car might be a trap..." Seven Kills reminded.
"Try it and you'll know." Tanlang thought, and walked forward, "I'll search the front, you guys look at the rear compartment, pay attention when checking..."
At this time, the man in the suit who was caught by them to find his way had already driven back. Before turning around and driving away, the guy rolled down the car window and cursed at the three players viciously. But Brother Long and the others didn't care about it... Considering that the man in the suit was threatened by three "children", he not only lost a lot of the food he just bought, but was also beaten and kicked... It would be okay for him to curse a few words to vent his anger. It doesn't matter.
"I don't have anything to gain here." Two minutes later, Tan Lang finished checking the driver's seat, and he jumped out of the car immediately, saying to the teammates behind, "How is the rear?"
Brother Long just jumped out of the rear compartment with something in his hand: "Here is a body bag covered in blood and mane..." He showed the bag in front of his teammates and added , "As you can see... the 'one' who was lying in it is no longer there."
"Hmm..." Greedy Wolf took a closer look, thought for two seconds and then said, "Could it be... there was a werewolf in this bag?"
"Huh? How did you think of going there?" Brother Long scratched his head, wondering.
"It's not difficult to guess..." Greedy Wolf replied, "Usually, body bags are only used to hold human corpses, but the things in this bag contain animal hair, and..." He pointed Several tear marks on the bag. "...sharp claws."
Long Aomin raised the body bag in his hand, and turned his head to look at himself: "Oh... Really..."
"Look at the tear marks again..." Tanlang said again, "If it was scratched by an animal, it means that the animal's forelimb has five fingers, with sharp claws, and the distance between the fingers is similar to that of a human... In addition. It's also covered in mane, and its body shape is just right enough to fit into a body bag..." He paused for a second, "Instead of thinking about animals, it's better to think about monsters in combination with the setting of this script."
"Understood." Long Aomin understood when he heard this, "When he was put into the body bag. The werewolf should not have transformed, and he was seriously injured... But when he came out, he already had hair and claws gone."
"Yes, that's it." Greedy Wolf nodded.
"So... how should you explain this?" While they were talking, Seven Kill stuck his head out of the ambulance and waved to the two of them.
Brother Long and Tanlang glanced at each other, then followed together.
"Look... here, and the seat over there..." After his teammates followed up, Qi Kill guided their gaze with his hands, "See? There are two puddles of wet and sticky things..."
Tanlang observed for a moment. Nian said: "Consider it according to our thinking just now... Could this come from some kind of monster whose body surface can secrete liquid?"
"The eighth achievement is enough." Long Ge spread his hands and said, "From the opening CG, the monsters and ghosts in this script are indeed far more than just vampires. Now that werewolves have come out, what kind of water monsters will come out? It's not surprising, is it?"
"So the conclusion is..." Seven Kills continued, "Someone... or a monster, robbed an ambulance... and came to this room with a car full of demons and ghosts?"
"I think it's reliable." Tanlang answered, and then took out a piece of kraft paper from his bag, "This also just confirms my previous reasoning..."
The kraft paper he was holding at the moment. It was the task reward that he and Po Jun spent nearly an hour shoveling fallen leaves. According to their "dad" in the script, this is the treasure map drawn by his two sons "when they were exploring the old house on Dark Creek Road in the first grade".
Of course, it's a treasure map, which is actually just a child's doodle... But. Tanlang still deduced some more accurate information through this "graffiti".
"There are monsters gathered here, which further proves..." Tanlang continued what he said before, "...the holy amulet is in this old house."
...
At the same time, the old house was underground. hall.
"Another guest has arrived..." Dracula, who had closed his eyes and stood silently, suddenly said.
"Oh?" At this moment, Feng Bujue was sitting on a stone step, flipping through an ancient book he got from nowhere. After hearing the words, he asked without raising his head, "How many people? What kind of people?"
"There are three in total..." Dracula stood two meters in front of him, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "Two are boys, and one... er... a very tall boy."
"Heh... I already know who it is." Feng Bujue smiled, "Since everyone has come to the door, let's... let's start the 'ceremony' in advance."
...
On the other hand, east of Dark Creek Road, on a certain road.
"Damn it..." Hill came back to his senses and unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, angrily running towards a Volvo more than ten meters away.
A minute earlier, his car and the Volvo had met on the road. Due to the remoteness and disrepair of this road, the road shoulders on both sides of the road have been damaged to a certain extent. Coincidentally... on the section of the road where the two cars meet, the damage is particularly obvious, which causes the two cars to pass through the middle section of the road one after another.
Seeing this situation, Hill took the lead in honking the horn, meaning to slow down the oncoming car and give way.
However, the guy driving across from him... was the man in the suit who had been hijacked by the blade.
Hill is in a hurry, and he honked the horn first, so he won't let him go; and the man in the suit... is a person who is used to being greedy for cheap, jumping in line, bullying the weak and fearing hard, and occupying the parking spaces for the disabled. will let.
As a result, the two cars had a "friction phase error", and then each side of the tire slipped out of the road, and stumbled to a stop.
Fortunately, both drivers turned the steering wheel and let off the accelerator just before the collision. Otherwise, it is possible for both of them to overturn...
"Hey! Bastard!" Hill snarled as he walked towards the other car, "Are you blind or deaf?"
The man in the suit also got out of the car at this time, turned to look at the other party and said, "I still want to ask you. How are you going to compensate me?" He waved his hand to signal the scratched body, "I know how much this scar will cost Is it fixed?"
"I don't know the price, but I think its injury should heal faster than yours." Hill continued.
The man in the suit didn't seem to understand the meaning of the other party's words for a while, and he asked: "What do you mean its injury should..."
Boom—
Hill's fist interrupted the man in the suit, who was knocked to the ground.
"Oh! Ah—" the man in the suit screamed after falling to the ground covering his face. "You...you bastard! I'm going to sue you with intentional injury... no! It's murder!"
"Sounds like you know a little bit about law, doesn't it? Huh?" When Hill asked this question, he kicked the man in the suit twice again.
"Ah!" The man in the suit screamed and threatened, "I warn you! My uncle is a lawyer!"
"Really?" Hill asked, leaned over and grabbed the other person's hair, and said with his face close, "Then I will teach you for your uncle... If I really murder you, the district attorney will sue me Yes! You don’t need a dead man to sue!”
After that, Hill grabbed the car door with his other hand and put the man in the suit on his head. Hit it three times with the car door "bang bang bang".
After the collision, the man in the suit passed out on the spot...
Hill spat at the other party in relief, turned around, and was about to go back to his car.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
In the distant sky, a rushing black beam of light suddenly appeared.
An invisible energy that even Hill could feel spread from that direction, sweeping the entire earth...
...
At 5:10 p.m., at the edge of the city, outside a certain power plant.
Ruoyu and Ling just completed all the follow-ups of the whole side mission. He came out of the power plant with the task reward, and as a result... he felt the impact of that energy.
Although both of them had become loli physically, the two of them were still not easily knocked down by the impact, they just staggered slightly. He stabilized his figure.
"I have a premonition..." Ruoyu looked at the black beam of light beside him, and pondered, "... what happened over there must be related to unconsciousness."
"Anyway, we have finished collecting the task chain..." Ling continued, "... just go and have a look."
"Ah... just use that." Ruoyu nodded in response.
The "that" in her mouth is the reward they just received—
These two brooms are the final rewards of the "Tea Party" quest line.
Ruoyu and Ling ran from morning to night, during which time they encountered a battle with the two of Daofeng, and finally... at the ninth hour after the script started, they finished this super long task line.
And the two reward items they got will undoubtedly bring them a huge advantage in the next script...
...
At 5:12 p.m., Anxi Road, where the original "Old House" was located.
At this moment, that "old house" no longer exists, replaced by...a black castle full of Gothic style.
"This is... what's going on..." Qi Sha looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, and muttered dully.
"Yeah, Tanlang, what's going on?" Brother Long, who was standing in the middle, threw the question to Tanlang on the other side like a megaphone.
"Although I also really want to reply to you, 'you and I ask, who do I ask'..." Tanlang's expression was similar to those of the two, "but considering that I am also the team's staff and the current commander, I still give you some advice. Definitely recovered..." He paused, "...this is all a stunt."
Half a minute ago, the three of them were cautiously advancing in the corridor of the front door of the old house.
Suddenly, a black turbulence hit from nowhere, blocking their sight. Then, they felt an earthquake-like shaking and the noise of the next-door neighbor being renovated.
Half a minute later, when they regained their vision, they found themselves standing inside the gate of a castle. Behind them is a drawbridge door half-suspended by chains, and there is actually a moat under the door...
And directly in front of them is an arched, tall double wooden door, which is the inner door of the castle.
"You might as well be hallucinating." Brother Long continued.
"I also believe that I was caught in the mirror." Qi Sha also complained.
"You are the one who asked the question, and you are the one who made complaints..." Tanlang said with a vain look, "Are you keyboard warriors? The score report shows that it's okay to change careers and go to work for 50 cents."
"Consultant, keep a low profile..." Long Ge continued, "This is a live broadcast, you don't have to be like us who can easily change careers and become fifty cents, it will make people jealous..."
"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way ahead." Tanlang used the stature of a ten-year-old boy, and acted like a battalion-level cadre, to issue an order to Long Aomin.
"All right..." Brother Long, who is a "big man" who is seven meters tall, can only do as he wants. Who would let the other party's rank in the unit be higher than his own
Long story short, under the leadership of Long Aomin, the three pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered the first room in the castle.
Standing at the door and looking at it, it is a vast space eight meters high, more than ten meters wide, and more than 100 meters long. The four sides of this space are completely cast by blue-gray stone bricks, the walls on both sides are broken and mottled, and there is always light from an unknown source coming through the walls.
In addition... For some reason, when the three of Dao Feng stepped into the gate, a system prompt sounded in unison in their ears: .
This reminder came without end. Brother Long and the others opened the game menu to check, but they didn't find the task update, and there were no changes in the status bar and item bar.
It seems... The system simply reported the place name here.
They have never encountered this kind of phenomenon in any of the previous scripts, and this... is the first time. .
