"So what needs to be done now?"
Xia De, who fully understood the current situation and adjusted his mentality, asked. The current situation does not seem to be more dangerous than when someone pointed a gun at his head just now.
"Looking for the node of the ceremony."
Miss Anat pulled the hem of her skirt to cover her feet, and took out a pinch of shiny powder from the small waist pocket. She held the powder in the palm of her hand and blew on her lipsticked lips. The powder scattered and seemed to be suspended in the air by the light of the gas lamp.
The blood mist originally blurred everything in front of him, but now that there was more dust, the corridor became even more hazy. Miss Anat took off the ruby hairpin she was wearing, lightly tapped her finger, and handed it to Xia De:
"I'm going to use the clerical-level relic [Dust of Truth] to enter the illusion, and cooperate with another me to find the ritual node through different perspectives. It takes about five minutes. During this period, you must hold my token and show me the direction to come back, otherwise I'll fall into the chasm of the dreamland."
"Just hold it?"
Xia De clenched his hairpin and asked.
"I can't leave the third floor too far, or I will lose contact with the token. The token can only be held by a sober living creature. If I didn't find you just now, I will go to the garden to catch a cat or a fish. Remember, Detective, there are only seven minutes until the arrival of the evil **** - [Lord of the Blood Feast], and I will stay in the illusion for five minutes. During this period, you should not contact anyone, and wait patiently."
She paused, her expression became serious:
"Once I don't come back within five minutes, leave here through the main stairs, and the Orthodox Church's ring warlock team below will be able to protect your safety. I'm sorry, detective, you shouldn't have been involved in this matter with only one ring .”
She pursed her lips.
"It's okay, after all, I'm here too."
Xia De held Miss Anat's hairpin tightly, with a serious expression on her face. He doesn't know what will happen next, but since he is already standing here, there is no reason to leave:
"Although I just woke up from blindness and ignorance, I haven't been in contact with this civilization for a long time, but since I can't leave, then I am also a part of this place, and I should do what I should do."
Of course, the danger of this matter is not as great as it sounds.
The fortune teller girl with purple eyes smiled, blinked, and said as if she had made up her mind:
"If I don't come back, and the doctor and the others are killed, then the only safe place tonight is the ring warlock team under the [Church of the Sun and Earth] of the righteous **** [Old Man Carrying the Lamp]."
They were the team of dozens of people, Shade met them twice tonight.
"To be more precise, the safest place is next to the youngest lady in the team, Iluna Bayas."
"Why?"
Shade also thought of the nervous girl with long brown hair. The hair color of Miss Iluna Bayas was very similar to that of Miss Anat, but the Seer had short hair.
"Because she is the chosen one, the protagonist of the first section of the poem "Whispering Poetry"... one of the thirteen chosen ones."
"What?"
Xia De raised his head and asked back, in a trance he understood the importance of this information:
"Thirteen again? No, that's not the point. What are the whispering poems?"
"I didn't even tell the doctors about these things, but if we survived, I'd be happy to explain them to you later. Now, there are more important things to do."
The purple-eyed Seer shook her head slightly, then turned and walked towards the corridor where the crystal powder was suspended. Her figure disappeared in the bright yellow light and shadow together with the illusory powder and phantoms, and the blood mist refilled the space that the crystal powder had just occupied.
"What do you mean? Miss Iluna Bayas is the chosen one? Ancient gods, evil gods, witches, relics, words of sublimation, whispering poems... What is going on in this world? I come In this era, it seems that something big is about to happen.”
At this moment in the dead manor, it seemed that there was only Xia De left alive. There should be a battle on the second floor under his feet, but there was no sound at all. Standing in the blood mist in the corridor, the scalp-numbing sense of danger forced Xia De to find a place to hide.
But Xia De didn't dare to enter any room, and only found the banquet hall on the third floor, which was the room where Dr. Schneider and Mrs. La Soya confronted each other.
Just approaching, the voice in the head reminded the emergence of the four elements in turn. And Xia De even saw dense rune chains on the magnificent double-opening golden door.
He didn't dare to decipher those runes, for fear that he would faint at such a critical moment.
"In four minutes, Miss Anat will be back."
Xia De thought to himself, nervously standing at the door of the banquet hall waiting. The banquet hall was facing the central main staircase of the Lakeview Manor Mansion. He was very worried that the cultists would break into the third floor after defeating the Orthodox Church's ring warlock team.
"It hasn't passed zero yet, is the current situation considered good luck tonight?"
He was thinking about unimportant things, and kept looking at his pocket watch to check the time.
In my heart, I want to take out that "Happy the Puppet Fucker's Script" and look through it. Maybe I can find a solution to tonight's incident from the last chance to use this secret keeper-level [relic].
But maybe Shad's good luck finally ran out, and before he took out the little book, the silent manor finally made a sound.
The next moment, an astonishing explosion sounded from the banquet hall beside him, breaking the peaceful moonlit night.
The two golden doors were smashed in the flames and smoke, and Xia De who was at the door was directly knocked out, spitting blood and hitting the wall on the side of the stairs, and the bearded nobleman's face that was originally hanging on the wall. The portraits rolled together onto the icy ground.
"oh!"
He wanted to get up in the smoke and dust, but he felt that his body couldn't control it. This time he definitely suffered an internal injury.
And at this time, I finally discovered the truth about the explosion just now. The blond Miss Writer flew out of the banquet hall during the explosion. It was her body that broke through the two doors~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now Miss Louisa is Lying on the stairs not far from Xia De, half of his body was lying in a pool of blood, his long golden hair was gradually soaked in blood.
"I knew it wouldn't go well."
Xia De resisted the severe pain in his left arm and chest and got up, touched the blonde girl's face, and used the spell [False Immortality] to ensure that she would not die within half an hour.
He wanted to help Miss Louisa to escape to the other end of the corridor. Although the pocket watch had been damaged in the shocking explosion just now, he also knew that Miss Anat was about to return, so he couldn't leave the third floor now.
There was another loud noise in the banquet hall, and the white steam from the life ring dispelled the blood mist, almost covering the entire doorway. Xia De heard Priest Augustus' roar and prayers to [Mr. Dawn], and he couldn't see that this old man had such strength at all.
"You go!"
Doctor Schneider's voice spoke to Priest Augustus from farther in the banquet hall, but the next moment, the life ring behind the priest was hit by a silver beam of light, and he staggered out of the room to the corridor, and then saw Xia De and Miss Louisa.
Although Shad changed clothes and wore a mask, Priest Augustus knew it was him:
"How do you..."
"It's very...ahem to explain."
Not only Shad, but even Priest Augustus coughed up blood together, and the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger:
"Not good, the **** descending ceremony is about to begin, let's go quickly."
The priest wanted to help Xia De and Miss Louisa up, but he was also seriously injured, and he just held on. He fell heavily after taking two steps, and even passed out, so Xia De also reached out and touched the priest, and now he had a very bad premonition.
