"Although I am in deep sleep..." Wright shook his head with a wry smile, "But, in fact, I can still feel the passage of time.
"The pain didn't stop, but because I was in a comatose state, I finally felt less sad."
"Then," Alicia's gaze turned from Wright to Sean, "I awakened Wright according to Flamel's records."
A strange light flashed in Alicia's eyes, and Sean could imagine what a strange experience it was to watch the dawn-colored material form a human form.
“Because I know that if I want to hide it from Rabbi Lins, I can only let the Philosopher’s Stone show his original appearance.
“After communicating with Wright, he agreed and agreed to help me in order to prevent Rabbi Lins from becoming a god.
"And the condition I promised him is..." Alicia looked at Wright, "After solving the crisis of Rabbi Lins, I will help him find a way to sleep forever without harming others."
After Alicia and Wright finished speaking, the messy battlefield fell into a long silence.
As an insider, Wendy didn't show much surprise.
Sean and others were shocked by the truth.
After coming back to his senses, Sean said: "We can't waste time here. Don't forget that there is another enemy in this city - Mayor Verne."
After Sean reminded them, everyone took action. Wright first walked to Rabbi Lins and took his hand composed of the philosopher's stone back into his body.
Alicia put the broken golden skull into her luggage - this mysterious thing seemed to also function as a space luggage.
Then, a golden object the size of a button flew into Alicia's open hand.
Without thinking, she handed the "Eye of Maze Island" to Sean.
Sean looked at her in surprise.
"You deserve this, and this thing originally belonged to the Golden Rose."
Wright, who was squatting aside, nodded slightly, confirming that what Alicia said was true.
Previously it was the Scarab Badge, this time it is the Eye of Labyrinth Island...
Only then did Sean realize Dal Finch's preference for Olivia.
Gently pinching his thin golden eyes, Sean walked over to Olivia.
As if the pupils were spiritual, they could not wait to embed themselves into the pupils of the alchemist girl.
The Eyes of Labyrinth Island blended into Olivia's eyes, making her ruby eyes tainted with some light gold.
If you look closely at her eyes, you can see criss-crossing, fine lines, as if you will fall into them if you stare at them for too long.
Olivia Fengchime's body also had a light golden color, making her appear more complete and agile than before.
Not only has the appearance been improved, but due to the return of the Eyes of Labyrinth Island, Olivia's vision has become clearer and her reaction speed has become faster.
Sean suddenly thought: Does this mean the "Library of Dawn" and some of the heritage in Labyrinth Island...
Shaking his head to drive away some greedy thoughts, Sean was about to speak when the radio around him suddenly rang.
After a piece of melodious music that represented "the mayor's speech is about to begin", Fuller Verne came on the radio with a somewhat sick and crazy accent: "Ladies and gentlemen...
"The Ocean City Carnival is about to reach its climax..."
Carnival? Sean frowned.
Because his attention was focused on the lion-slaying plan, he had just forgotten that in the turbulent Ocean City, most of the citizens were attending the annual carnival in the business district to celebrate the completion of Ocean City.
For other cities, it is impossible to hold the Carnival as scheduled when armed conflicts occur in the city and some people perform rituals to become gods.
However, these common sense and rules do not exist in this crazy city led by a crazy mayor.
What cannot be forgotten is that what they are eating is inhuman flesh laced with hallucinogenic drugs.
At this moment, not far from the ashes of the church district, the commercial district was bustling and lively. The excited citizens were all wearing golden masks and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Verne's voice continued: "As in previous years, the 'Golden Hunting Ground' is about to begin..."
In Verne's noisy voice like popping beans, Sean heard an undetectable sound.
"Be careful!" He had no time to stop him, so he could only convey it to Olivia heart to heart.
Olivia Wind Chime instantly opened her bronze umbrella and stood in front of Alicia Pompeii.
It was like the sound of big hail hitting the umbrella...
That was not an assassination bullet, but a non-lethal golden colored bullet.
The golden color bombs shattered on the bronze umbrella and still splashed onto Alicia's body.
On Alicia's clothes and skin, there were residues of gold paint that exuded a rich floral fragrance.
"What is this? Is it poisonous?!" Sean shouted alertly, trying to separate the golden paint with ectoplasm.
And those gold paints composed of special chemical substances seemed to soak into Alicia's skin instantly...
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous..." Alicia's face was gloomy. She didn't try to wipe off the gold paint that dried instantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Verne's voice became louder and louder, "This year's 'golden hunting ground' prey has appeared!
"Same as in previous years, his or her body is covered with gold paint that cannot be wiped off and has a strong floral fragrance...
"The person who kills the target will receive permanent residence in Ocean City and a reward of 30,000 New Zealand dollars!"
"At this moment, the entire territory of Ocean City is your hunting ground - but be careful not to damage public property!"
In the commercial district, citizens holding wine glasses or food and wearing carnival masks put down what they were holding and took out the weapons they carried...
Pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, and rifles.
They gathered their friends, shouted, seemed to be enjoying themselves, and began a city-wide search.
Everyone hopes they can get the bonus.
Citizens who were not so crazy returned to their homes and closed their doors and windows.
Sean looked at Alicia in disbelief.
Obviously, Fuller Verne was using a special way to carry out his revenge.
"You have now become the hunting target of everyone in Ocean City..."
"Use the Philosopher's Stone!" Sean's eyes lit up, "Use the Philosopher's Stone to erase these things!"
"No." Alicia shook her head, "These gold paints should have been made under the instruction of Rabbi Lins..."
"What?"
“There’s a trace of the philosopher’s stone in it.
“Maybe he originally planned to use it to permanently locate me.
"As a result, it happened to be used by Verne - he was not a fool."
"You can't erase it with the philosopher's stone in a short time..."
It seems that I can see the bustling, dispersing citizens with weapons...
Alicia's eyes flashed: "I have no choice but to run away."
Remembering that Tesler could help, Sean calmed down. Just as he was about to speak, the street lights in the industrial area went out one by one, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
Not only the industrial area, Sean could see through the blister, but other areas of Ocean City were also plunged into darkness.
In this darkness, the gold paint on Alicia's body exudes a faint light, which is particularly eye-catching.
Hunting in the dark, this is the tradition of "Golden Hunting Ground".
After waiting for a few seconds, the lighting did not return, and Sean was slightly confused: "It stands to reason that Tesler, who has been paying attention to this place, should find a way to restart the power supply...
"What's going on? Did something go wrong?"
Not knowing what happened to Tesler hidden in the central room, Sean led a group of people to leave the industrial area first.
"Hiding in Tesler's backroom was not an option...
“That would most likely reveal his presence.
"Besides, if you stay in the industrial area, you will be besieged. It is better to take advantage of the darkness and find a place with easy access to hide..."
Citizens armed with weapons are not terrible enemies to Xiao Ai and his party.
However, they had just experienced a fierce battle. Not only did they have no spiritual power, they also had no physical strength to use the Philosopher's Stone.
——Now they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
However, there were tens of thousands of hunters rounding them up...
The danger is even greater than facing Rabbi Lins directly.
Three hundred meters below the sea floor, the sun cannot shine here.
Without the lighting, it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see.
The rich darkness seemed to diminish the illumination in Sean's hands.
The flashlight in his hand seemed to only be able to illuminate a distance of five meters.
Without the sense of security provided by sufficient lighting, they finally realized that they were in the deep sea.
In this extremely depressing feeling, weird music played on the radio.
It was a female voice singing soothing jazz.
The ecstatic singing echoed in every corner of the dark city.
Huge shadows swam across the sea.
Crazy citizens wearing masks, holding weapons and flashlights, looking for prey with strange smiles on their faces.
The true face of Ocean City seems to have finally emerged.
