At five o'clock in the afternoon, dark clouds covered the sky and thunder roared.
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 time, the three members of Blade... came to the old house on Anxi Road.
The three of them naturally didn't know that one person had died on the front line of Hell. From their perspective, they were now in a disadvantageous situation of three to four. Therefore, the strategy chosen by Tanlang was to temporarily avoid direct conflict, expand the plot as much as possible, and make up for the disadvantage with the benefits in the script.
"It seems that someone got there first..." Seeing the ambulance parked at the door of the old house, Brother Long muttered.
"Why do I feel... this car might be a trap..." Qi Sha reminded.
"Don't you know if you try it?" Tanlang said, and he had already walked forward, "I'll search the front, you look at the back compartment, and be careful when checking..."
At this time, the man in a suit who was caught by them to recognize the road had driven back. Before turning around and leaving, the guy rolled down the window and cursed at the three players. But Brother Long and his team didn't care about it... Considering that the man in the suit was threatened by three "kids", not only did he lose a lot of food he just bought, but he was also beaten and kicked... It's okay to let him curse a few times to vent.
"I don't have much here." Two minutes later, Tanlang finished checking the driver's seat, and he jumped out of the car and said to his teammates behind, "How is it back?"
Brother Long just jumped out of the trunk at this time, holding something in his hand: "Here is a body bag with blood and bristles inside..." He showed the bag to his teammates. And added, "As you can see... the 'one' who was originally lying in it is no longer there."
"Hmm..." Tanlang took a closer look, thought for two seconds and then said. "Could it be... that there was a werewolf in this bag?"
"Huh? How did you think of going there?" Brother Long scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"That's not hard to guess..." Tan Lang replied, "Generally speaking, body bags are only used to hold human corpses, but the contents of this bag contain animal hair, and..." He pointed to the several tear marks on the bag, "... sharp claws."
Long Aomin raised the body bag in his hand and turned his head to take a look: "Oh... it's true..."
"Look at the tear marks again..." Tan Lang said again. "If it was scratched by an animal, it means that this animal has five fingers on its forelimbs, with sharp claws, and the distance between the fingers is similar to that of humans... In addition, it is covered with mane and its body size is just right to fit into the body bag..." He paused for a second. "Instead of thinking about animals, it is better to consider monsters in combination with the setting of this script."
"I see." Long Aomin understood when he heard this, "When he was put into the body bag, the werewolf should not have transformed yet. And he was seriously injured... But when he came out, he already had hair and claws."
"Yes, that's it." Tan Lang nodded in response.
"So... how do you explain this?" As they were talking, Qi Sha poked his head out of the ambulance and waved at the two of them.
Brother Long and Tan Lang looked at each other and followed together.
"Look... here, and on the seat over there..." After his teammates followed, Qi Sha used his hand to guide their sight. "See? There are two wet and sticky things..."
Tan Lang observed for a moment and said: "According to our previous thinking... could this be from some monster that can secrete liquid on its body surface?"
"That's probably it." Brother Long spread his hands and said. "From the opening CG, the monsters in this script are indeed far more than just vampires. Since the werewolves have appeared, it wouldn't be surprising if there were some water monsters or something like that?"
"So the conclusion is..." Qi Sha continued, "There is a person...or a monster, who robbed an ambulance...carrying a car full of monsters and came to this room?"
"I think it's reliable." Tan Lang continued, and then took out a piece of kraft paper from his bag, "This just confirms my previous reasoning..."
The kraft paper in his hand at this moment was the task reward he and Po Jun got after spending nearly an hour shoveling fallen leaves. According to their "father" in the script, this is the treasure map his two sons drew when they went to explore the old house on Anxi Road in the first grade.
Of course, it's just a child's graffiti... However, Tan Lang still deduced some relatively accurate information through this "graffiti".
"The gathering of monsters here further proves..." Tan Lang continued his previous words, "...the Holy Amulet is in this old house."
…………
At the same time, in the basement of the old house, in the auditorium.
"Another guest has arrived..." Dracula, who was standing silently with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" At this time, Feng Bujue was sitting on a stone step, flipping through an ancient book that he had gotten from somewhere. After hearing this, he asked without raising his head, "How many people? What kind of people?"
"Three in total..." Dracula stood two meters in front of him and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Two are little boys, and one... uh... a very tall little boy."
"Ha... I already know who it is." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "Since everyone has come to the door, let's... start the 'ceremony' in advance."
…………
On the other hand, east of Dark Creek Road, on a certain road.
"Damn..." Hill came to his senses and unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and stepped out of the car, angrily running towards a Volvo about ten meters behind.
A minute ago, his car and the Volvo had crossed paths on the road. Because this road is located in a remote location and has been in disrepair, the shoulders on both sides of the road have been damaged to a certain extent. Coincidentally... on the section of road where the two cars met, the damage was particularly obvious, which resulted in the two cars having to pass through the middle section of the road one after another.
Seeing this, Hill took the lead and sounded the alarm. It means to slow down and give way to the car coming from the opposite direction.
However, the guy driving across from him... was the man in the suit who had been kidnapped by Blade.
Hill was more anxious, and he pressed the horn first. So he won't let it go; and the man in the suit... is a person who is used to taking advantage of others, jumping in line, bullying others, and occupying parking spaces for disabled people. People like him... obviously won't let him go either.
As a result, the two cars had a "friction collision", and then one tire of each side slipped off the road and stumbled to a stop.
Fortunately, both drivers turned the steering wheel and released the accelerator before the collision was about to occur, otherwise both of them might have overturned...
"Hey! Bastard!" Hill roared as he walked towards the other party's car. "Are you blind or deaf?"
The man in the suit also got out of the car, turned around and looked at the other person and said, "I still want to ask you, how are you going to compensate me?" He waved his hand to indicate the scratched car body. "Do you know how much it will cost to repair this scar?"
"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 moment. He also asked: "What does it mean that its injury should..."
Bang——
Hill's fist interrupted the man in the suit, and the latter was knocked to the ground.
"Oh! Ah -" the man in the suit covered his face and screamed after falling to the ground. "You...you bastard! I'm going to sue you for intentional injury...no! It's murder!"
"It sounds like you know a little bit about the law, right? Huh?" Hill asked this question. He kicked the man in the suit twice more on the arm.
"Ah! Ah!" The man in the suit screamed and threatened, "I'm warning you! My cousin is a lawyer!"
"Really?" Hill said, leaning over to grab the other person's hair, bringing his face closer and saying, "Then I will teach you for your cousin... If I really murder you, the district attorney will You don’t need a dead person to sue me!”
After saying that, Hill grabbed the car door with his other hand. He raised the man in a suit's head and banged it three times with the car door.
After the collision. The man in the suit fainted on the spot...
Hill spat at the other party in relief, turned around, and prepared to go back to his car.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
In the distant sky, a black light pillar suddenly appeared.
An invisible energy that even Hill could feel spread from that direction and swept the entire earth...
…………
At 5:10 in the afternoon, on the edge of the city, outside the gate of a power plant.
Ruoyu and Xiaoling had just completed the entire follow-up to a side mission, and came out of the power plant with the mission reward. As a result... they felt the impact of that energy.
Although they had turned into little lolita physically, the two of them were still not easily pushed down by the impact. They only stumbled slightly and stabilized their bodies.
"I have a hunch..." Ruoyu looked at the black beam of light on the horizon and muttered, "...what happened over there must be related to unconsciousness."
"Anyway, we have completed the task chain..." Xiao Ling continued, "...just go over and have a look."
"Ah...just use that one." Ruoyu nodded.
The "that" she mentioned was the reward they had just received——[Magic Broom*2]
[Name: Magic Broom]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Special effects: cleaning dust or acting as a vehicle]
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: Generally speaking, we do not recommend that ladies ride this vehicle in a straddle manner, whether wearing skirts or pants. It is very unladylike behavior. 】
These two broomsticks are the final reward of the "Tea Party" quest line.
Ruoyu and Xiaoling ran from morning to night, during which they also encountered a battle with the two blades. Finally... on the ninth hour after the script started, they completed this extremely long task line.
And the two reward props they received will undoubtedly give them a huge advantage in the next script...
…………
5:12 pm, Anxi Road, where the original "Old House" was located.
At this moment, the "old house" no longer exists, replaced by... a black castle with a full Gothic style.
"What's going on..." Qisha 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 want to say to you, 'You ask me, who should I ask'..." Tan Lang's expression is similar to that of the two, "but considering that I am at least the team's staff officer and the current commander, I'd better give you a clear recovery..." He paused, "...These are all stunts."
Half a minute ago, the three of them were still cautiously advancing in the corridor at the front door of the old house.
Suddenly, a black turbulence came from nowhere, obscuring their vision. Then, they felt the shaking like an earthquake and the noise of the neighbors next door renovating.
Half a minute later, when they regained their vision, they found themselves standing in the gate of a castle. Behind them was a drawbridge door half-suspended by chains, and there was actually a moat under the door...
And right in front of them was an arched, tall double-opening wooden door, the inner door of the castle.
"You might as well say it's an illusion." Brother Long continued.
"I believe it if you say I'm in a mirror flower and water moon." Qi Sha also complained.
"You are the ones who are asking and complaining..." Tan Lang said with empty eyes, "Keyboard warriors? I'll change my job to be a 50-cent soldier tomorrow after I write the score report."
"Coach, please be low-key..." Brother Long continued, "This is a live broadcast. Don't talk like it's easy for us to change our job to be a 50-cent soldier. This will make people jealous..."
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way." Tan Lang used the body of a ten-year-old child and the style of a battalion-level cadre to give Long Aomin an order.
"Okay..." Brother Long, a "big guy" of 1.7 meters, could only do it, because the other party's rank in the unit was indeed higher than his.
To make a 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, it was a vast space of eight meters high, more than ten meters wide, and more than a hundred meters long. The four sides of this space were completely cast with blue-gray stone bricks, and the walls on both sides were broken and mottled, and there was always light from unknown sources coming through the wall.
In addition... for some reason, when Blade and the other two stepped into the gate, they heard a system prompt in unison: [Desolate City Corridor].
This prompt came without a beginning or an end. Brother Long and the others opened the game menu to check, but did not find any task updates, and there were no changes in the status bar and inventory.
It seems that... the system simply reported the name of this place.
They had never encountered this phenomenon in any of the previous scripts, and today... it was the first time. (To be continued...)
