At 5 pm, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.
The local government had issued a red alert for a thunderstorm and canceled all outdoor Halloween celebrations. They advised the citizens not to go out on foot.
At that time, the three members from Blades … arrived at the old house on Dark Creek Road.
Naturally, the three of them did not know that Underworld Frontline had lost a member as well. From their perspective, they were in a disadvantageous situation of three against four. Therefore, Tan Lang's strategy was to temporarily avoid direct conflict and try to expand the plot, using the benefits in the scenario to make up for their disadvantage.
"Looks like someone has beaten us to it …" Seeing the ambulance parked before the old house, Brother Long grumbled.
"How come I have a feeling … this ambulance might be a trap?" Seven Kills reminded him.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Tan Lang said as he walked forward. "I'll check the front, and you guys check the back. Be careful when you check …"
By then, the man in the suit that they had captured had already driven back. Before he turned around and drove away, he even rolled down the window and cursed at the three players. However, Brother Long did not mind it. Considering that the man in the suit had been threatened by the three 'children' and had not only lost a lot of the food he had just bought, but he had also been kicked and punched … they did not mind letting him vent his anger.
"I don't find anything here." Two minutes later, Tan Lang finished inspecting the driver's seat. He jumped out of the car and asked his teammates, "How's the back?"
At that moment, Brother Long jumped out from the back with something in his hand. "There is a body bag covered in blood and fur …" He showed the bag to his teammates and added, "As you can see … the 'person' who was originally inside is no longer there."
"Hmm …" Tan Lang leaned in to take a closer look. After two seconds, he said, "Could it be … this bag once contained a werewolf?"
"Huh? Why would you think that? "Brother Long scratched his head and asked with confusion.
"It's not hard to guess …" Tan Lang replied. "Generally speaking, body bags are only used to store human corpses, but the things in this bag have animal hair and …" He pointed at the few tears on the bag. "… sharp claws."
Long Aomin raised the body bag high above his head, and he turned to look at it. "Oh … it's true …"
"Look at this tear mark," Tan Lang said. "If it was scratched by an animal, it means that the animal has five fingers on its forelimbs, and the distance between the fingers is similar to that of a human. Other than that, it is covered in fur, and its size is perfect for a body bag." He paused for a second. "Instead of thinking about it as an animal, why don't you consider it as a monster based on the setting of this scenario?"
"Understood." Long Aomin understood. "When he was placed inside the body bag, the werewolf probably hadn't transformed yet, and he was heavily injured … But when he came out, he already had fur and claws."
"Yes, that's right." Tan Lang nodded.
"Then … how do you explain that?" While they were talking, Seven Kills poked his head out from the ambulance and waved at them.
Brother Long and Tan Lang looked at each other and followed him.
"Look … Here, and the seats over there …" After his teammates followed him, Seven Kills used his hand to guide their line of sight. "Do you see that? There are two puddles of something sticky and wet … "
Tan Lang observed for a while and said, "Based on our previous thought … could this come from some kind of monster that can secrete liquid?"
"Then, there's an eighty percent chance it is." Brother Long shrugged. "From the introductory cinematic, the monsters in this scenario are more than just vampires. Since werewolves have appeared, it wouldn't be strange for something like a water monster to appear as well, right?"
"So, the conclusion is …" Seven Kills continued. "Someone … or rather, a monster, stole an ambulance … and carried a carriage full of monsters to this room?"
"Sounds about right," Tan Lang added. Greedy Wolf added as he took out a piece of kraft paper from his backpack. "This also confirms my previous deduction …"
The piece of brown paper that he was holding was the reward that he and Defeating Armies had obtained after spending an hour shoveling the fallen leaves. According to their 'father' in the scenario, this was a treasure map drawn by his two sons when they went to explore the old house on Dark Creek Road in the first grade.
Of course, it was more like a child's doodling than a treasure map … However, Tan Lang managed to come up with some accurate information through this' doodling '.
"The fact that there are monsters gathered here further proves …" Tan Lang continued, "… that the Holy Amulet is inside this old house."
…
At the same time, in the underground hall of the old house.
"More guests have arrived …" Dracula, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said.
"Oh?" At that moment, Feng Bujue was sitting on a stone step, flipping through an ancient book that he had gotten from who knew where. After hearing that, he asked without raising his head, "How many people? What kind of people? "
"Three in total …" Dracula stood two meters away from him and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Two of them are little boys, and the last one … er … is a very tall little boy."
"Heh … I already know who it is." Feng Bujue laughed, "Since they have come to us, then … let's start the 'ceremony' in advance."
…
On the other hand, on a highway east of Dark Creek Road.
"Damn it …" Hill, who came back to his senses, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car. He angrily ran to a Volvo that was more than ten meters behind him.
A minute ago, his car and the Volvo met on the road. Because this road was in a deserted area and had been in disrepair for a long time, the shoulders on both sides of the road were damaged to a certain extent. Coincidentally, the damage on the road where the two cars met was particularly obvious. This caused the two cars to have to pass through the middle of the road one after the other.
Seeing this, Hill took the lead and honked a warning. He meant to ask the car coming from the opposite side to slow down a little and move aside.
However, the guy coming from the opposite side … was the man in the suit that was kidnapped by Dao Feng.
Hill was more anxious, and he honked first, so he would not move aside. As for the man in the suit … he was used to taking advantage of small advantages, cutting the queue, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and occupying the parking space for the disabled. People like him … obviously, he would not move aside either.
Therefore, the two cars had a "friction". Then, one of the tires on each side of the road slipped off the road, and they stumbled to a stop.
Fortunately, both drivers turned the steering wheel and released the throttle before the collision. Otherwise, both cars might have flipped over …
"Hey! B * stard! "Hill roared as he walked toward the other car." Are you blind or deaf? "
The man in the suit also got out of the car at this time. He turned to look at Hill and said, "I 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 it will heal faster than you," Hill said.
The man in the suit did not seem to understand what Hill meant. He asked, "What do you mean by its injury should …"
Bang!
Hill's fist interrupted the man in the suit, and the latter was knocked to the ground.
"Oh! Ah! "After the man in the suit fell to the ground, he covered his face and screamed," You … you b * stard! I'm going to sue you for intentional injury … No! It's murder! "
"Sounds like you know a little about the law, huh?" Hmph? "Hill kicked the man's arm twice as she asked this question.
"Ah! Ah! "The man in the suit screamed and threatened," I'm warning you! My uncle's husband is a lawyer! "
"Is that so?" Hill said as he leaned over and grabbed the man's hair. He put his face close and said, "Then I'll teach you on behalf of your uncle … If I really murder you, the district attorney will sue me! I don't need a dead man to sue me! "
After that, Hill grabbed the car door with his other hand, held the man's head up, and hit him three times with the car door.
After that, the man in the suit fainted on the spot …
Hill spat at the man, feeling satisfied. He turned around and prepared to go back to his car.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden change!
In the distant sky, there was a black pillar of light that shot up into the sky.
An invisible energy that even Hill could feel spread from that direction and engulfed the whole land …
…
At 5: 10 pm, outside a power plant at the edge of the city.
Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling had just finished a whole side quest. They came out from the power plant with the quest reward and … they felt the impact of that energy.
Even though they had turned into loli biologically, the two were not so easily knocked down. They only staggered a little before they steadied themselves.
"I have a feeling …" Ruo Yu looked at the black pillar of light and said, "… the thing that happened there has to be related to Bujue."
"After all, we have finished the quest chain …" Xiao Ling added, "… let's go take a look."
"Ah … we'll use that." Ruo Yu nodded.
The 'that' she mentioned was the reward that they had just received — Magic Broom x2
Item Name: Magic Broom
Item Type: Other
[Quality: Excellent]
Special Effect: Cleans up dust or acts as a carrier
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Normally, whether wearing a skirt or pants, we do not recommend ladies to straddle the carrier. That is very unladylike behavior. — — —
These two brooms were the final reward of the 'tea party' quest.
Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling ran from morning to night, and in between, they ran into a battle with Blade and Blade. Finally … in the ninth hour since the scenario started, they finished this super long quest.
The two reward items that they had obtained would no doubt give them a huge advantage in the upcoming scenario …
…
At 5: 12 pm, Dark Creek Road, where the 'old house' used to be.
At that moment, the 'old house' was gone, and in its place … was a gothic looking black castle.
"What … What's going on …" Seven Kills muttered in a daze as he stared at the scene before him with an ashen face.
"Yeah, Tan Lang, what's going on?" Brother Long, who was standing in the middle, threw the question to Tan Lang like he was a mouthpiece.
"Even though I would like to say, 'You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?'" Tan Lang's expression was similar to the other two. "But considering that I am the strategist and the current commander of this team, I think I should give you a clear answer …" He paused. "… These are all special effects."
Half a minute earlier, the three of them had been carefully moving down the corridor of the old house.
Suddenly, a black turbulence came from who knew where and blocked their sight. Then, they felt the shaking like an earthquake and the noise of the neighbor next door who was in the midst of renovation.
Half a minute later, when their sight recovered, they realized that they were standing inside the door of a castle. Behind them was a drawbridge that was half suspended by chains, and there was a moat below the door …
Right in front of them was an arched, tall, double-opened wooden door, which was the inner door of the castle.
"You might as well say that it's an illusion," Brother Long said.
"I would believe it if you said that I've been tricked," Seven Kills said.
"You're the one who asked the question, and you're the one who complained …" Tan Lang narrowed his eyes. "Are you guys keyboard warriors? Write up a report and change your profession tomorrow. "
"Strategist, please keep a low profile …" Brother Long said. "This is a live broadcast. Don't make it sound like we can change professions so easily. That will only make people jealous …"
"Stop wasting time. Lead the way." Tan Lang used the body of a ten-year-old boy to give an order to Long Aomin.
"Okay, okay …" Brother Long, who was 1.7 meters tall, had no choice but to follow the order. After all, Tan Lang's rank in the unit was indeed higher than his.
To cut the long story short, with Long Aomin leading the way, the three pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered the first room inside the castle.
Standing at the door, it was a large space that was eight meters tall, ten meters wide, and about one hundred meters long. The four sides of the space were made from gray stone bricks. The walls on both sides were broken, and there was light from an unknown source that filtered through the walls.
Other than that, for some unknown reason, when Blade and the other two stepped through the door, a system notification rang in their ears at the same time: [Desolate City Corridor].
The announcement came out of nowhere. Brother Long opened the game menu to check, but there was no new quest. There was no change in the status bar or inventory.
It looked like … the system had merely given them the name of the place.
This was something that they had not encountered in any of the previous scenarios, and today … this was the first time.
