The number of people wandering the streets of Sabo town is gradually decreasing.
People carrying jack-o-lanterns walked in a hurry, glancing at the clock from time to time.
The uneasiness caused by ghost legends has long taken root in the hearts of the residents of the town. Coupled with the rumors that people will die suddenly every year - neither the government nor the church seems to have deliberately blocked the news, but allowed the rumors to go wild. According to legend, residents believe that the most dangerous time is after midnight.
After fanaticism comes calmness.
Danger comes from the unknown. They don't know whether the sudden death was caused by supernatural factors or accidental circumstances. The church has never expressed its position on this, but no one wants to bid farewell to the beautiful earthly life in a daze.
The curfew even legally blocks the possibility of traveling in the middle of the night. People support this policy from the bottom of their hearts and implement it consciously.
The city guards wearing reddish-brown leather armor held spears in their hands and swords at their waists. Four of them lined up in a row, patrolling the streets in neat steps, looking majestic.
At the same time, the street lights started broadcasting again.
"Attention residents! The whole town will implement a curfew starting at 12 midnight and lasting until 6 am the next morning! We apologize for the inconvenience caused!"
Every broadcast It is broadcast every 5 minutes and echoes in every corner of the town.
Under the urging of the sweet female voice, the doors and windows of every house were closed, the stalls in the stores were closed, and the warm yellow lights dimmed disorderly.
Individual figures seem to disappear into dark corners, and emptiness and loneliness are becoming the main color of the street.
The wind picked up a corner of the poster on the wall, and the pumpkin lantern under the eaves swayed slightly, with a faint blue light, mocking the desolation of fear.
“People think that the time of the dead is coming, but in fact, they are about to return.”
Newman, who had been slumped in the corner of the bar, raised his eyes and glanced at the empty tables and chairs, mocking road.
The bar owner nodded to him, indicating that he was about to close the shop.
He stood up, put on the pumpkin mask next to him, and opened the door casually.
In the Blessing Square, travelers stood in front of the statue of the goddess, discussing the next stage of action.
They couldn't be sure that they were still together when the hunting moment came.
In terms of general skills, except for the rogue who is equipped with [Fearless Pain], the other three are equipped with [ejection start], pursuing an explosion that is as fast as the soul hunter in a short period of time.
In terms of exclusive skills, Guan Shanyue was the photographer and chose [Real Image], which means that she will be a blank slate character during the hunting period.
Zixu is a detective and carries [Hidden Blind Spot]. With his hidden aura, he is absolutely good at hiding and seeking. [Ejection Start] also provides a layer of insurance when changing positions.
As an adventurer, Jade Bird has [Easy to Do], which increases her pulling ability. When a premonition of danger is triggered, she will receive a 1% base agility bonus every second. After 10 seconds, the agility can reach a maximum of 1.1, but Unfortunately, the effect of [Ejection Start] cannot be superimposed, as the latter gives fixed attributes.
[Effortless] can be stacked with [Tough Soul], and each layer of damage increases agility by 3%.
In the order of bonuses, [Easy and Effortless] is higher than [Tough Soul], because the former improves basic agility, while the latter increases the value of basic agility incrementally.
Therefore, after obtaining 3 layers of damage, the adventurer can obtain a maximum agility of slightly higher than 1.2, which is slightly faster than the soul hunter.
The Wanderer's [Agility] is quite interesting. The four Travelers initially guessed that it can unlock more pulling space for the Travelers.
In terms of special skills, Guan Shanyue has [Holy Healing Technique], Zixu has [Prosperous Wealth], Qingniao has [Detect Evil], and Wanderer has [Great Sacrifice].
Before the discussion, Zixu decided to use [Prosperous Wealth]. Apparently, they have no new candies to acquire, and all they have now is the final base.
“May the Blessed Goddess lower her gaze and pour out the water of the Holy Grail with her vast love. May your light be brilliant and unbroken, and your feathers be pure and flawless...”
Zixu muttered the prayers he heard in the church in a low voice, and was full of hope for the result of the dice roll.
Guan Shan on the side wanted to laugh more and more but couldn't. On the one hand, she had a vague reverence for the gods, but on the other hand, she felt that it was absurd to place hope in them.
On the system interface that only Zixu could see, a virtual silver six-sided dice was spinning. The slower its speed, the more nervous Zixu became.
The golden numbers became clearer and clearer. Zixu's eyes widened, watching as it suddenly flipped over with a corner as a fulcrum and landed steadily.
It seemed that the statue of the Goddess of Blessing, which was very close at hand, listened to his devout prayers. The number at the top was "6"!
Zixu clenched his fist excitedly and swung it suddenly, almost hitting the blue bird next to him.
Before he could tell the result, the system notification was announced first.
[Tip: The player "Zi Xuan Wu Ni" uses the special skill "Wealth Luck", and the Odin brand candies in the hands of the travelers' players will increase by 0.6 times. 】Suddenly, the number of candies in the hands of the four people increased.
Guan Shanyue has 21, Zixu has 22, Blue Bird and Wanderer have 26 each.
Total 95 pieces.
Although it is not much when it is spread equally among everyone, it is much better than the previous figures.
Everyone was overjoyed, and the tone became much more cordial when discussing strategies.
"Based on our abilities, we should focus on hiding. If we can't hide, we can't run." The skills of the four people could not form any linkage at all, and Jade Bird was helpless.
“Wanderers seize the time to open the room area, and pick up the holy light when they encounter it. Pay attention to the map when ensuring safety. It is best to shout when you encounter the soul hunter, which can give an early warning to the surrounding companions. It would be better if the soul hunter's skills could also be called out..." Zixu continued to add.
He thought there was little hope for this game before, but the sudden "hand of God" gave him confidence again.
Luck is also a part of strength.
The four of them murmured for a while and agreed that apart from these precautions, the only strategy was to adapt to circumstances.
In this week's episode, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Suddenly, the wanderer caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards them.
Wei Miao showed a natural smile, as if she was not the one who ditched the traveler in the first place: "What a coincidence, you are here too."
"Ah hahaha, what a coincidence..."
Guan Shanyue responded with an awkward smile.
Although she had seen the creepy tentacle skirt on her body, she still felt her scalp numb at close range.
Only the blue bird grasped the essence of the problem: "It's almost curfew time, won't you go home?"
Looking around, I don't know when, only the figures of the city guards were left in the huge Blessing Square, and there were layers of light shadows on the ground. Strangely, they turned a blind eye to the few people in the center of the square.
The sound of the radio has stopped long ago, and silence is mixed with red and white lights in the dark night. The weird costumes disappeared, and the afterglow of the festival was lost in the candy rolling down the street.
The cold and solemn wind flew across the gloomy town, killing all the noise. The terrifying shadow hidden behind the legend swept over and passed through everyone's hearts.
The blue bird waited for Wei Miao's strange silence, and the uneasiness in his heart surged out.
Lightning seemed to flash across her mind, and she suddenly remembered something.
"You are..."
"Dang~dang~dang~"
The mighty and distant bell seems to come from the depths of ancient times, resounding throughout the sky, signaling the arrival of midnight!
Qingniao's unfinished words were stuck in her throat. Her body was frozen in place, unable to move, and she seemed to be disconnected from her thoughts.
Under the boundless starry sky, in the deep night, in front of the holy statue.
She watched as the person in front of her suddenly bowed down, covering his face with his hands, and the corners of his mouth curled into a strange arc, reaching to the base of his ears.
A dark crow shadow struggled out of the thin skin. The tall and swollen shadow held a giant scythe in its hand. The rust-colored blade reflected the distorted faces of the four people.
It turned its head suddenly, and two spots of scarlet color floated.
Human skin rots into dust.
The crow feathers buzzed in the bleak wind, just like its hoarse and jerky voice.
"Death is the destination."
Raise your arms high, and the sharp sickle descends with the eternal darkness! (End of this chapter)
