“Hey, here, here, look here! 5 o’ clock direction directly below!”
Not long after RUO Yu and Xiao Ling arrived above the castle, a slightly childish voice drifted over with the wind and called out to them.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and quickly found a boy in a mini purple suit on the balcony at the edge of the tower.
At that moment, Feng bujue was standing on his tiptoes, waving his hands at them and shouting.
Seeing this, RUO Yu and little Ling didn’t say anything. They just exchanged a look and reached an agreement … They controlled the broom and flew towards the balcony.
“The two of you have really made me wait for a long time.” After they landed, Feng bujue smiled and read out.
“How did you know we were here?” “Did you install surveillance cameras around the castle?” Xiao Ling asked after landing. As she said this, she even inadvertently turned to look at the outer wall of the castle.
“Your whereabouts … Were naturally told to me by Dracula.” Feng bujue replied,”as long as a large creature with a soul enters the area around the castle, the Earl will be able to sense it.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed upwards.”By the way, there’s a barrier on the outer layer of this Castle … And it has two layers. Just now, I asked the Earl to let you in … That’s why you were able to fly in. Otherwise, you would have hit the energy wall a long time ago. ”
You already know about Xiao Tan’s situation, right?” RUO Yu added.
“Of course.” Feng bujue replied,”but … I’m surprised … Could it be that he died together with Jun po?”
“He was killed by me.” Little Ling added.
“Ha?” Feng bujue was startled.”What is this?”
“You can ask him about this after the match.” Even now, Ling was still a little unhappy about this.”Anyway, let’s exchange information first.”
“Oh … Sure,” Feng bujue’s ability to read people’s expressions was very good, so he did not press the issue. He turned around and said,”then, let’s talk as we walk …”
…………
He looked at the members of the blades.
After walking around the spacious church for a while, the three of them found a vertical pillar-like passage.
The diameter of the passage was about three meters, and there were many small platforms of different heights embedded in the circular wall. Each platform was only about one meter wide, just enough for an adult to stand on.
Through this pillar-like passage, you could turn to the higher part of the church, where there was a staircase leading to the upper attic. Brother Dragon and the others went in to explore. Other than the unmanned armor that threw the axes, there was also a strange monster that had six arms and looked like a human woman. There were also some fire-spitting monsters that looked like dinosaur skulls fixed to the ground.
After clearing the monsters in the attic, they searched the area and found a piece of equipment. It was a pity that it was only a normal grade sword. It was slightly better than the normal grade swords in the exchange … But that was all.
Thus, the three of them held the mentality that “it’s better to get something than nothing” and returned resentfully. Fortunately, the return distance this time was not too far, and the route was all the way down, so it did not take much physical strength.
After returning to the pillar-like passage, they killed another Imp and went around a slow, wisp-like monster that looked like a wheat. Then they entered the space directly below the church.
It was an hourglass-shaped room with multiple rectangular platforms. When the three of them entered … A mini BOSS was already waiting for them.
The mini-BOSS this time was a Lion Scorpion beast that was five meters in length and 2.5 meters in height. No matter if it was in terms of HP, speed, or attack … It was a little stronger than the giant skeleton with the stick. Of course … It was only “a little.”
The monster’s attack patterns were rather monotonous. There were roughly three types: First, it could use its Python-like scorpion tail to stab or whip the players. The second was to shoot long-ranged fireballs at the players. Third, directly pouncing over to grab and bite.
To the members of blades, this second miniboss was even easier than the previous skeleton BOSS, because…Brother Dragon could tank all of its attacks, and he could tank them without breaking its defense …
Therefore, after a quick test, brother Dragon raised his shield and pushed forward. No matter how the lion Scorpion beast attacked … Brother Dragon wouldn’t lose any health points anyway. He would only lose a little stamina points.
Just like that, under brother Dragon’s cover, seven kills and tan lang used low-cost means to deal damage at a constant speed, and they took their time to kill the small BOSS.
“There’s still no reward …” After the lion Scorpion beast died, brother long walked over to its body and looked down.
“It doesn’t seem like there are any hints …” Seven kills muttered.
As for tan lang … He was silent and deep in thought …
Five minutes later, the three of them finished a simple search and rest before continuing on their journey. Due to brother Jue’s carefree, unruly, and unhappy decision … Their journey was destined to be long.
In the next 15 minutes, the three of them passed through several rooms. Fortunately, they did not encounter too many forks … After 15 minutes, they finally saw another Red Door.
This time, after passing through the White corridor between the two red doors, the system notification that entered their ears was: [Demonic city’s book collection Vault]
“[Beep beep]!” The moment the voice message sounded, tan lang slapped his thigh and cursed,”I knew it! It was right beside his mouth … But he couldn’t remember! It’s Demon City!”
In fact … Along the way, ravenous Wolf had already vaguely noticed the setting of this Castle, but there was just a layer of paper window separating them, and he couldn’t break it.
This feeling … I’m sure many people have experienced it before. It’s like when Wanwan is thinking about a question and she knows the answer is in her mind, but she just can’t figure it out no matter how hard she tries … That feeling is really uncomfortable.
Feng bujue had experienced this before, and because he was extremely unhappy with this feeling, he had built a mind palace and a memory loft for himself … To solve the problem of storing and retrieving information in his brain permanently …
“Demon City … Isn’t that the name of an old game?” Seeing ravenous Wolf’s reaction, seven kills also muttered to himself.
“A game series that has existed since the 1980s.” Tan lang sorted out his thoughts and said,”there are many works, but the standard is uneven.”Most of them are above a certain level, but the rest are especially godlike for gods and especially sh * t for sh * ts …” He paused for a second and continued,”after the 10th century, the number of works related to demonic city has significantly decreased, and it has gradually faded out of people’s sight. Later on … Neural-connection technology gradually became popular, and single-player games began to decline as a whole, so basically no one in our generation has played this series. ” He looked at seven kills and continued,”most people born in the 200s have the same reaction as you when they hear the words ‘demonic city’. They know that this is an old game, but they have no concept of it other than the name.”
“You’ve said so much …” Brother Dragon interrupted,”it seems like you know a lot about this ‘Demon City’?”
“No, I don’t know much about it,” tan lang replied unexpectedly.
“Hey, hey …” Seven kills narrowed his eyes and said,”so you just made up that part?”
“How is that possible …” Tan lang said,”although I don’t know it very well, I know more than you do.” He paused and explained,”a few years ago, I once found an antique game console on the internet. The seller gave me all his game discs. Hence, I played with a few of them, one of which was Demon City. ” He looked at the space in front of him.”After coming to this Castle, I’ve always felt that the monsters and the names of the areas here have a sense of déjà vu … But because it’s been so long, I can’t recall it at first.” He sighed.”Sigh … Until now, when I heard ‘Demon city’s book collection Vault’, I finally realized …”
“Oh …” Seven kills said.”Since you know the settings, does that mean our next exploration will be easier?”
“That depends on …” As tan lang spoke, he reached into his bag and took out the “treasure map” drawn on the vellum, and unfolded it in front of his teammates.”…This.”
…………
At the same time, in the middle of the throne at the top of the demon City.
“Let me give you a simple introduction …” Feng bujue used his hand to gesture at his two teammates. Then, he turned to the monsters in the room and Hill.”These two are my companions, drifting rain and laughing soul.”
He didn’t know what the system would translate these two IDs into, but he just said it as usual.
“As for these few …” Brother Jue turned to look at his teammates.”Just as I told you on the way here … They are Count Dracula, Frankenstein, Mr. Werewolf, the nameless mummy, Mr. Gillman, and Mr. Hill.”
Regarding Hill, Feng bujue had already told his teammates everything. In short … He randomly caught a homeless man on the street and controlled him with Musashi Koganei’s invention. He then set up a trap for Hill to hide vanshein’s diary without her knowing.
“Then … We can be considered to know each other.” Feng bujue continued.”Now, let me get to the main point …” He glanced at Dracula and said,”earlier today, the Earl and I have reached an agreement. At present, both of us are working hard for each other’s goals. As for our targets …… We have two in total. ” He paused for a moment.”The first is the three members who killed the blades … Long Aomin, seven kills, and tan lang.” He pointed to the crystal ball in the corner of the room.”Their every move in the city is completely under our surveillance. At this stage, we can let them jump around for a while and try to use ‘this city’ to wear down some of their lives and physical strength.”
“Second, destroy the saint’s amulet …” He then took the item out of his pocket and raised it up.”That is, the item in my hand.” He flicked the object and said,”however, it is still indestructible. This will continue until midnight.”
“What should we do now?” RUO Yu asked.
“We still have to act separately.” When Feng bujue replied, he had already walked to RUO Yu’s side.”First, I would like you to help me look after the amulet.” Before he could finish his sentence, he grabbed RUO Yu’s small hand and stuffed the amulet into her palm.
Seeing this, Dracula’s eyes were clearly a little strange, but he still held back.
“Due to the nature of the saint’s amulet, the Earl and his friends are unable to come into contact with it for a long time. That’s why he could only keep it in a room far away from him even though he already had the amulet.” As Feng bujue spoke, he pointed at the bag around RUO Yu’s waist.”I’ve already explained to the Earl that before midnight, our ‘space pocket’ is the best place to store the amulet. He also knows that … If anything happens to us, the amulet will be shifted to another location.”
When he said the last two sentences, Feng bujue winked at RUO Yu and Xiao Ling. Clearly, he was hinting at something.
The team’s chemistry and the individual’s intelligence were there for all to see, so the two of them naturally understood what brother Jue meant. They knew that brother Jue wanted them to be careful of the Earl.
“As for me …” Feng bujue received the reply from his teammate’s eyes, so he continued,”…I need to leave for a while. I need to go with Mr. Hill to retrieve something.” He looked at Hill with a cheeky smile.”Actually, I wanted to get that thing myself this morning, but I really couldn’t get away … After all, the layout here is more important, so I could only ask Mr. Hill to do it for me … And he … Hehe … Did what I expected him to do.”
By then, Hill was much more obedient. Hearing brother Jue’s sarcasm, he did not even make a sound and just stood there silently.
“Is that fan Haixin’s diary?” Xiao Ling asked.
In the conversation not long ago, Ling had told brother Jue that she had the ritual incantation, and brother Jue had roughly guessed that Xiao Tan and Xiao en’s group had visited the strange Germany man.
“Yes, I am.” Feng bujue replied,”based on my knowledge …”
What he said next sounded very different to the NPCs because brother Jue had mentioned a lot of information that was beyond the fourth wall, and the system had to interfere. Of course, the audience watching the live broadcast would not be affected.
“The script that we’re currently going through is basically based on the plot of the movie” demon subduing special squad. “” Brother Jue continued,”as you can see, I’ve already borrowed the strongest support force in this scenario … And I’m standing with the strong villains. I won’t list the advantages of this move, but I’ll talk about the corresponding hidden dangers. That is … The positive characters in the movie, the group of children who call themselves the ‘demon subduing Special Forces’… They rely on the ‘protagonist aura’ to support themselves, and it is very likely that they will come and ruin our good plan. ” He paused for half a second.”From the looks of it … Killing them seems to be a good choice. It won’t be difficult for us. But I knew…That was an absolute, absolute decision! It won’t work. ” He explained,”for example, if I was in the DC Universe and tried to kill the main characters in one of the DC universes … I would definitely fail. No matter how carefully I prepared, I might be stopped by some extremely small probability of coincidental events. “This is because … In this universe, the life and death of every main character are intertwined and can even affect the cause and effect of the entire universe. If we,’travelers from another world’, interfere with these causes and effects, it will cause the ‘highest will’ of this universe to resist. In serious cases … It is not impossible to be crushed to death by meteorites. Even the system can not save us.”
Brother Jue licked his lips and continued,””In summary, in order to achieve our goal, we have to take a detour … Using this scenario as an example, it’s best if we don’t use too extreme a method to stop the group of children. We just need to control the diary.”
He had said so much, but in reality, RUO Yu and little Ling did not fully understand. They had not watched the movie and did not know much about the group of children. The audience watching the game was even more confused, but … Regardless of whether they understood or not, everyone had the same feeling of “not understanding it, but thinking it was amazing …”
