Chapter 627 93. The old devil has sent you a Play invitation. Do you accept it?
"Your girlfriend is really a clever little girl. She is very good at inviting you to the urn."
Wearing a crimson tights and dressing up like an exhibitionist and pervert, Deadpool Wade walked struttingly at the front. In the extremely quiet corridor of the Star Castle, this A-level personnel complained viciously:
"Why don't she just suggest that you two just do it? Just think of it as a haunted house adventure for a young couple. Why do you want us, a group of people who want to take risks, to come and take risks?
Isn't Master Deadpool's life not life? ”
"Just say less."
The Deadpool boy next to him grabbed the knife, turned his head from side to side suspiciously, and said:
"It's so crowded here. Why is there no one there? Is it really haunted?"
"No life signal has been detected, this layer is empty, and there is no damage or distortion in the spatial structure."
The mechanical deadpool was suspended in the air one meter above the ground, and purple rays were continuously shot from both sides of the shoulders to scan the surroundings. She reminded:
"I also saw half-eaten food and cold water. It can be seen that people here were caught off guard when the crisis occurred. Stop shaking. There is no spiritual signal and no magic energy left. This place is not haunted! You are a coward! .”
Although the mechanical Deadpool gave an affirmative answer, several other Deadpools did not believe it at all. They took out gadgets with various characteristics from their bags and hung them on their bodies.
From crosses to mahogany charms, Wade also took out a few pieces of crumpled yellow paper and pasted them on the female Deadpool's perky buttocks, while the Cowboy Deadpool took out a few dried insect limbs and a few cloves of garlic to share with himself brothers and sisters.
In the end, even the head of the mechanical Deadpool, which should theoretically be a creation of materialism, had a Q-version of a big-headed picture of Christ affixed to it.
They thought that this was the only way to be prepared, and after being blessed by stupid idealism, these guys thought they were immune to all ghosts, so they became emboldened and began to make noise in this uninhabited castle again.
It's like thousands of ducks are put in the same house, making people's heads hurt so much that they want to pull out a gun and blow these bastards' heads off.
"Bringing them here was a real mistake."
Mason had a headache and rubbed his ears that were already suffering. He took out a set of twelve charm bracelets from his bag and stuffed them into the hands of Ciri next to him. He whispered:
"The Seiko version has been personally blessed by Heiqi Qi. You can summon him to transmit his skills remotely. We will withdraw first if a situation arises."
"There will be no surprises."
Ciri accepted Mason's kindness, but holding the Sword of the Lake Lady, she shook her head and said:
"The resonance between the Grand Master and the Star Castle was restored when I stepped into the gate. I can confirm that there are no supernatural events in this castle, and its own magic enchantment has not even been activated.
Go straight to the top!
There is no need to waste time elsewhere, everyone has been moved. ”
"Hey, you two can go up there."
Wade, who had sharp ears, blew a breath to make the yellow paper on his forehead shake. He winked and turned around and said:
"Let's go take a look below the castle. Maybe those dark things are hiding there, ready to rush out and kill us when we relax our vigilance.
Horror movies all follow this routine, so we need to eliminate dangers in advance! The Deadpool Legion is fearless! ”
"If I hadn't known that you were planning to sneak into the secret treasure house to get some good stuff, I would have almost believed it."
Mason complained:
"Such righteous words are completely inconsistent with your personality."
"It's blocked there, you can't get in."
Xili shook her head and said:
"After the warlock launched a war and consumed a lot of inventory, there is no good stuff there anymore. Although the wizard did not reveal too much, he can only get out during this period, and the finances of the Society of Stars are on the verge of collapse."
"You don't have to explain so much. You can't stop the free deadpools from wherever they want to go."
Mason sighed, watching the Deadpool team wave goodbye to them in a friendly way, and then disappeared into the elevator heading to the underground treasure house. Only the two of them were left in the hall. The captain shrugged and turned to Ciri and said: < br>
"I think they don't want to be light bulbs. Although these guys are unreliable, their ability to observe people's emotions is first-class."
"Be serious!"
Lord Hunter glared at Mason fiercely, reached out to open the elevator and walked in.
Mason observed the ground. Just like the Star Castle lost its shadow at this time, there would be no shadow left when they walked in the building.
As the elevator went up, Mason pushed the hat on his head and whispered:
"When did your relationship with Harley become so good? When I came here just now, I saw you sharing snacks."
"Yes, your girlfriend gave me all the candies in her pocket that were about to expire, and supervised me to eat them in the name of friendship."
Xili said expressionlessly:
"Handling snack inventory while disabling the competitor's body management can be said to kill two birds with one stone. I vaguely remember that my friends in the Elf Palace would do this when I was a child.
Seeing her big eyes staring at me expectantly, I was too embarrassed to refuse. ”
"This is really a Harley-style thought."
Mason laughed dumbly, shook his head and said:
"Actually, she's pretty cute most of the time, right? As long as you know how to appreciate the beauty of innocence in the madness."
"It's quite cute."
Xili rolled her eyes, sheathed her sword, curled her lips and said:
"And she's very smart and knows how to deal with me. And your Quinn, although she doesn't speak, she looks weird every time she looks at me.
It was like trying to figure out what size body bag to use to dispose of my broken body.
They both really like you, Mason, and unlike me, who just see you as a filler for an empty relationship, they see you as the focus and part of their lives.
In their crazy world, you are the only one who remains unchanged, just like the last link that holds me back in the world. Compared with their fiery intentions, I am more like a bad woman who improvised on the spur of the moment.
I can no longer bear to get involved in this strange but beautiful relationship between you. I feel guilty even thinking about it. ”
"You don't act like a demon hunter who is unusually open about emotions."
Mason complained:
"If your father were half as innocent as you, he wouldn't be tangled up with so many ladies."
"I am the last witcher, in name only."
Xili brushed her long hair, snorted and said:
"I feel like I should be a role model for this profession, in every aspect."
The atmosphere relaxed as the two joked, and the elevator was about to open when it reached the top floor. Xili flexed her fingers and was about to walk out, but the captain stepped forward and took the initiative to hold her hand.
This small movement made the hunter glance down, and she said softly:
"You came here on your own initiative this time. I won't cover for you if Harley asks."
"Well, it's all my fault."
Mason nodded, and under Shirley's blinking gaze, he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead, saying:
"Consider this a blessing."
"Ding"
The elevator door opened a few seconds later. Before the old wizard Shazam, who was already waiting on the top floor, had time to speak, he saw two people hugging each other and kissing passionately after the elevator door opened.
This made the old man's eyes widen, and then he sighed.
Oh, young man!
"Have you had enough?"
Ten seconds later, old Shazam pointed his staff on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"I thought you were here to save us poor people, but I didn't expect that the rescue was just a bonus for a young couple's haunted house adventure, right?
Do you want me to close the elevator door and give you another twenty minutes? ”
"If possible, of course I would be grateful."
Mason let go of the hunter, who had blushing cheeks and was struggling in his arms. He turned back and winked at the old wizard and said:
"Hey, you are in good spirits. It seems that there is really no danger. Why don't you go out by yourself and insist on us coming in?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
The wizard snorted, turned around and led the way towards the depths of the top floor, followed closely by Mason and Ciri.
The Lord Hunter was behind the captain and kept hitting him on the back with the small fists of the demon hunter. Water splashed with each punch. This shows that Ciri has indeed inherited the super boxing talent of the legendary demon hunter White Wolf. .
Speaking of which, boxing can be regarded as an excellent inheritance of the profession of demon hunter. How can a demon hunter who cannot become a world boxing champion be a good Gwent player and emotional master?
"When Mephisto used that super magic to smash the half-plane where the Star Castle is located into the world, everyone thought it would be the end of the world, but in fact it was not like that.
I don't know what the situation is like outside, but the Castle of Stars is unscathed, and even the servants responsible for cleaning the castle are safe. ”
Old Shazam, who was leading the way, explained:
"After discovering that the material entities and shadows of the Star Castle were separated, I immediately gathered them together and sent them to the secret treasure house on the lower level. The place there is large enough and has the strongest protection, so it is the best place to take refuge.
< br>
I spent the rest of the time exploring here alone, and eventually I discovered something left by Mephisto. The reason why I didn't leave was because of it.
Get ready, what you're about to see is going to be astonishing. ”
The wizard's reminder made Mason and Shirley look at each other. A few minutes later, the three of them entered the big library. At first glance, they saw that the very magical destiny machine that was said to be able to predict the future had collapsed and broken, as if it was weathered. Items that are thousands of years old are completely beyond repair.
"It cannot predict a future that has been derailed."
Old Shazam shook his head and said:
"This is probably the only thing that was destroyed in the Star Castle, but it's not the point. Look! Ahead!"
The old wizard cast a magic to remove the shield, and an irregular dark halo of dancing shadows appeared in front of Mason's eyes, like a door leading to an unknown place.
"You can reach the 'shadow' of the Star Castle by passing through it. I have seen it in the past. It maintains a projection that is exactly the same as the material world. It is shaped by very high magical attainments and maintains a mysterious connection with the material world.
I suspect that as long as the Star Castle remains standing, the Shadow Castle will not collapse, but that's still beside the point.
Come with me. There's no danger there.
I've checked it out.
What I want to show you is over there. ”
After saying that, old Shazam was the first to step into the dark circle of light. Mason did not take any action but took out various auxiliary tools to add protection to himself and Ciri.
Even the storage tank of the Lord of the Universe's power armor is activated and can be popped open with just one command.
Ciri also exerted several protective powers she had on Mason.
They believed in old Shazam, but it was by no means a bad thing to be protected in this situation. Ten seconds later, Mason and Ciri walked forward hand in hand into the world of shadows.
Old Shazam was already waiting for them here. Looking at the various protections flashing on the two of them, he didn't say much, just raised his hand and pointed forward.
Mason and Shirley raised their heads, and in the next moment, their breathing became rapid.
Light!
To be precise, candlelight.
Starcastle, made of shadows, is not dark.
Because every part of the building here has burning candles shining and dancing. Tens of thousands of candles are spread throughout the large library shaped by shadows, and extend all the way to the outside along the open porch.
Those dancing candlelights illuminated the surrounding area of the ground, giving the shadow entity a strange translucent sheen.
Mason felt Ciri's hand tighten in his own. Apparently, the Hunter had guessed the truth about these candles, just as she had taken him to that special location when she told him the truth about the Society of Stars. Just like the previous one, all this is the most amazing one among the countless little secrets belonging to Mephisto.
"He kept all the candles here? Always in the shadow of Starcastle?"
Xili said hoarsely:
"Shouldn't this be the devil's deepest secret? Why does he show all this to us again? Is this a provocation? Or a threat?
Is this true? ”
"It's true, absolutely true."
Old Shazam looked at the three candles of different colors arranged like a crown on the chandelier composed of many thick candles above his head. As he watched, the flame of one of the candles bent into the symbol of Shazam's lightning and then restored in the next moment.
He said to Mason and Ciri:
"I have tested it with my magic. Every candle here corresponds to a member of the Society of Stars. They are not the projection of that dark place, but the reflection of our soul contract with Mephisto in the material world. Real embodiment.
If we extinguish a candle here, one of our colleagues in the outside world will surely die. And the worst-case scenario is that we can indeed extinguish them here.
It delegates this power to us, but it has nothing to do with good intentions. ”
Old Shazam said solemnly:
"I don't know why Mephisto wants to expose this secret to us, but what is certain is that this represents a certain attitude of it."
"It's a demonstration, or in other words, it's exerting pressure."
Mason reached out and placed his hand next to the flame of the nearest special twin candle. As he felt the temperature, he could see the happy and laughing faces of Harley and Quinn in the illusion of the flame.
In this place where candles are burning, in the intertwined shadows of the three people, he said in a mute voice:
"Mephisto wants to play a game with us. The two sides are completely opposed and there is no chance of turning around. If we want to defeat him, there are two ways, easy and hard.
He puts the easy way before us.
Just blow out these candles and Lord Fate will become weaker and our odds will increase. What are you doing! You are crazy! ”
Mason suddenly turned around and hugged Shirley and covered her mouth with his hand. The hunter's cheeks were puffed up and he was about to blow out the candles around him.
Amid Mason's scolding, she stared at the other person and motioned for him to let go.
"He's got you, Mason! It's a vicious mind trap."
Xili said:
"He knows that you will not make such an unethical choice for the sake of victory. He is using victory to tempt you to cross your bottom line, just like the Joker has been trying his best to make Batman break the code.
Beneath the seemingly easy victory lies a more terrifying darkness.
He is trying to contaminate you and make you, the forerunner who is about to reverse the Dark Ages, become a devil as bad as himself.
You won't and can't do it, but I will help you.
Mephisto must die! ”
"This is not a trap or torture for me, Ciri, please wake up!"
Mason grabbed Ciri's shoulders and shouted:
"This is also a test for you! Once any of us blows out these candles, the rebel alliance will collapse in an instant.
Those heroes may even turn against us.
I want to destroy the Club of Stars, but not in this way, I can't! Neither can you! No one should do this, Shazam, get us out of here!
Block this place!
Seal it forever and keep this secret until Mephisto is defeated.
This is his bait.
A hot potato thrown to us, a hateful drama that seduces and degenerates. ”
Mason breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling Shirley's helpless mood, he lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead. He said softly:
"I already have a plan, follow the plan steadily, trust me, be good." (End of Chapter)
