Late at night, it was probably the curfew time in Demao Town.
Dense dark clouds blocked all the stars and the moon, and the whole street looked gray. The old newspapers were blown up by the wind. Ethan was leaning on the stairs, looking out the window and smoking the cigarette in his hand despondently.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Chenchuan appeared in the corridor with a tired look on his face and faint dark circles under his eyes.
"What are you doing here? It's the time you made an appointment."
"I am asleep."
Jiang Chenchuan told Ethan the experience that just happened in the dream. It was hard not to be drawn into the almost real feeling.
"So, there is really something wrong with this hotel?"
"That's probably it."
Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head and responded.
"Let's go and see what kind of monsters they are."
I extinguished the oil lamp in my hand and placed it in the corner. It suddenly became dark. I could barely see the road in front of my feet with only the lamp on the wall.
But this small problem is not difficult for Jiang Chenchuan to solve. However, Ethan needs to support the wall with one hand to go downstairs. He could have enjoyed life comfortably in the college, but unexpectedly he was in a small town. Suffering from this.
The environment in the hotel lobby is darker than above. It is silent. The door has been locked. There is no figure of the boss behind the counter. I walked around for a while and didn't notice anything unusual. There was only a portrait on the wall. , that lifelike figure also startled Ethan severely.
"Sure enough, it's not good to draw too realistically. It's scary in the middle of the night."
Ethan muttered quietly.
"strangeness."
Under the light that was almost too dim to be seen, Jiang Chenchuan showed a puzzled expression.
"There's nothing strange about it. It's so late at night...Evel, don't scare me on purpose."
Ethan thought that the people in the portrait had come to life, and that this kind of horror was no different from a ghost. But he looked at it quietly for a while and found that there was no movement.
The person in the portrait is sitting upright like this, and like every self-portrait, it is full of artistic atmosphere.
"No, it's different."
After being silent for a long time and looking around, Jiang Chenchuan finally noticed something strange about the portrait.
"What's different?"
Ethan leaned closer and looked around, but he didn't think it was any different from ordinary oil paintings.
"The position, the position of the portrait has changed."
Jiang Chenchuan strode forward, holding the painting in both hands, and took it off without being polite at all. Behind the portrait was an extremely hidden passage.
There was a faint dark yellow light in the passage, flickering in and out, with a hint of cold breath spreading outward. At the entrance, you could vaguely see the mottled blood stains left on both sides of the wall, as well as some traces of the battle.
"Very good, somewhat in my style."
Ethan patted Jiang Chenchuan's shoulder to express his appreciation, but Jiang Chenchuan didn't want to reply to his words.
"Be careful."
After just saying this, Jiang Chenchuan walked directly in. The air in the passage was not as fresh as outside. Instead, there was a faint fishy and rancid smell, but it seemed to have been washed away, so it was not obvious.
…
Following Yulia up the corridor, through the narrow corridor, the entire hotel was filled with a dark and damp atmosphere, with only the oil lamps on the wall still emitting a faint light.
Every time you take a step, you can hear the creaking sound of the wooden boards under your feet. Due to poor sound insulation, you can even hear the vague exchanges of guests in the room.
Yulia was a little scared. She followed Jiang Chenchuan and walked around a corner. She saw Chudong waiting at the door. When she saw them coming, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally here."
"What's wrong? What's going on in the room?"
Jiang Chenchuan stepped forward and asked, and the boss followed suit, holding an oil lamp and following at the end of the team without saying a word.
Chudong and Yulia looked at each other with a troubled expression on their faces. They couldn't say anything, so they had no choice but to open the door with the key and let them in.
The room was dark, nothing could be seen without a light on, and there would be an unnatural sound when the door was opened. There seemed to be something hidden in the shadowed corners, peering at me.
It was really an uncomfortable place, with a strange atmosphere permeating everywhere. Yulia and Chudong's boxes were open, and the daily items inside were scattered around.
At first glance, there were only two beds side by side, a set of worn-out tables and chairs, and nothing else.
"In the bathroom."
Yulia whispered something behind Jiang Chenchuan, and Jiang Chenchuan turned in a direction and slowly opened the bathroom door.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a damp and rotten smell, but the entire bathroom looked very clean, and there were no water stains on the floor.
It looked like a very ordinary hotel room. After walking around inside, I didn't feel anything special.
"Yuliya, what's going on?"
Jiang Chenchuan turned around and asked.
"Just when I wanted to take a shower and just entered the door, I heard a knock on the door. I heard it clearly. Moreover, not only was there a knock on the door, but there was also a female voice. Then, I came out and asked Miss Chudong, she Said she didn’t hear anything.”
There was a trace of fear in Yulia's eyes. Although she had even experienced monster fighting, she was still afraid of this inexplicable supernatural.
"The sound insulation here is not very good. Could it be that you heard the knocks and conversations next door."
Ethan reasoned as he leaned against the door, dragging his chin.
"I thought so at first, but..."
Before Yulia finished speaking, the boss squeezed in from the end and interjected:
"The two rooms next door are currently unoccupied. Madam, maybe this is your imagination."
"I'm sure this is not an illusion!"
Yulia said with certainty, not only that, but Chudong also added that she also heard the sound, and it was accompanied by a hoarse scream.
What a painful experience it must have been to be able to make that sound.
Something seemed to flash by. Jiang Chenchuan's peripheral vision caught a strange black shadow and hid behind the pool. Then, there was a strange sound of water dripping, echoing in the empty bathroom.
"Did you see anything?"
At this time, even Ethan became nervous. Of course, he was nervous not because of fear, but because of the novelty of this kind of field that he had never set foot in before.
"I saw it."
Jiang Chenchuan nodded and responded.
Just when they looked at the boss, the middle-aged man laughed to himself:
"Guest, I would like to give you a piece of advice, don't worry too much. Sometimes, being invisible and not being heard may be a good thing."
After saying that, the boss didn't care about other people's reactions. He held the oil lamp and turned around to leave. There was a creaking sound on the floor under his feet, and the light of the oil lamp and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
"It's so strange. The boss seems to know something, but he doesn't tell us anything."
"We are just told to pretend that we can't see or hear. Wait, Uncle Ivel, there can't be...is there really any ghost?"
Bellito looked horrified. Although he had special powers, he was still young and still afraid of supernatural beings.
"Won't……"
Jiang Chenchuan knocked on the pool and the wall behind with his hand. There was a hollow echo, which even penetrated deeper. He paused and continued,
"...It should be a person, and there seems to be more than one."
It was getting dark outside the window, and it was another long night. In order to ensure the safety of Yulia and Chudong, they changed rooms with Jiang Chenchuan, and Berito also moved in with them.
They planned to rest one night first and then go to the streets tomorrow to purchase corresponding supplies and inquire about the situation in Ronark City.
After running around in the wild for several days, I didn't get much rest. Even an energetic person like Bellito fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
Jiang Chenchuan sat on a chair, looking at the notebooks neatly placed on the table. He placed the lantern on the table, and the dim yellow light shone on the paper, giving it an inexplicable retro texture. Occasionally, Berry came to his ears. Breathe evenly.
This scene was inexplicably reassuring. I just went downstairs to borrow a pen and started recording in my notebook:
[Mission: Recover the relics of Ronark City] - [Resolve the Curse]
[Investigation: Barras’s movements]
When I started writing, I thought about it and crossed out the following sentence.
He was a little surprised by Baras's sudden departure. Jiang Chenchuan had thought about this possibility before, but he didn't expect that he would act so quickly when leaving.
After finishing writing, the ability to put down the pen and wait, and use the notebook again is like returning to the Black River Detective Agency and simply accepting a commissioned task.
"Clang!"
A crisp knocking sound came from the direction of the bathroom. It was so clear that even Bellito was awakened from his deep sleep. He opened his still sleepy eyes in a trance, turned over, and fell asleep again. go.
Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head and saw that the notebook had already given him a reply. It was clearly written on the paper:
Association of Conjurers.
"The Association of Conjurers?"
This answer surprised Jiang Chenchuan, but it also gave them hope of solving the curse of Ronark City.
"Clang!"
There was another crisp knocking sound, but this time the sound was smaller, and it did not wake up Bellito. The black cat's little head popped out of the suitcase, and it looked at the room curiously.
Finally, my eyes fell in the direction of the bathroom. The official website of Yijiji "Sr. 蕗痗攵网→δξw" provides you with reading information.
Jiang Chenchuan noticed the movement of the black cat, and saw it pull at it, jump out of the box, and walk straight towards the bathroom. Jiang Chenchuan immediately stood up and followed its pace and moved slowly.
The bathroom is still the same as before. It is obviously a dry floor, but there is always the sound of dripping water. There are some twisted black substances remaining in the dark corners, but they only pass by in a flash. When I look over again, nothing is there. there is none left.
Jiang Chenchuan didn't believe in the existence of so-called ghosts, but since he met Leonid, it wasn't surprising that there were several ghosts.
As soon as they approached the bathroom, they could hear a piercing scream. The black cat seemed to sense something. As soon as he took a step forward, he let out a shrill scream and immediately turned around and ran out from Jiang Chenchuan's feet.
Tick--
The sound of dripping water is not in the bathroom!
But...
behind himself.
Jiang Chenchuan turned around without hesitation, but the originally normal room behind him became extremely dark, and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere. He had a strong premonition that the real answer lay here.
Tick tick tick——
The sound of water drops became clearer and clearer. Jiang Chenchuan couldn't see anything in the darkness, but he could feel with his keen intuition that someone was walking past him, moving slowly.
That kind of indescribable fear invaded this ordinary person's body. Jiang Chenchuan suddenly remembered that there was something more terrifying than a ghost in his body.
Suppressing the strange state, Jiang Chenchuan moved slowly, keeping up with the sound of water drops that gradually faded away. As he walked, he seemed to be blocked by something. He reached out and touched it, which should be the hotel door.
Click——
After unlocking the door, the faint light from outside the room shone in. When Jiang Chenchuan turned around to look, he could see clearly that the room was in a mess, with scattered furniture and some non-human limbs. This was no longer his original room. .
He seemed to have entered another world, which was more bizarre and bloody, but he could still find some remaining shadows in the real space.
There was no time to think so much, Jiang Chenchuan hurriedly chased after him.
Sure enough, I caught up with the figure at the corner, exuding a dark and obscure aura, a shadow darker than pitch black. He was holding an iron-like pipe in his hand, and occasionally he would lift it up and knock on the gas. The pipe produced the sound that Jiang Chenchuan originally heard in the room.
At the same time, a sharp scream sounded, which was much clearer than what was heard in the bathroom before.
"really……"
At this moment, Jiang Chenchuan knew what was going on.
"哐——"
Different from the knocking sound just now, this time the sound was loud and long. Looking at the moving figure, he stopped and turned his head to look around, as if he was looking for something. Until he wanted to turn around slowly, Jiang Chenchuan quickly hid. stand up.
Perhaps he had been discovered. Jiang Chenchuan could hear his heartbeat as loud as a drumstick. The boundless darkness was coming towards him. Even the wall behind him began to become damp and sticky. He could feel death slowly approaching. , his instinctive sense of survival made him want to turn around and run away.
But his body seemed to be fixed, unable to move.
"what happened?"
Jiang Chenchuan felt that his body was moving uncontrollably. He raised his hand and patted his chest, as if to calm his fear.
No, this is not my body.
Judging from the shape of the fingers, she should be a young woman. She also wears pink lace cuffs and skirts and likes to dress herself up.
Feeling the uncontrollable fear, she turned around slightly and slowly poked her head out, wanting to observe the black figure again.
The next second, a bloody and scary face appeared in front of him, and the clear sound of water drops rang in his ears.
At the beginning, it didn't think that it needed to use weapons when facing such an opponent, but at this moment it had to take out the weapons, otherwise it would have been unable to withstand it. No matter how strong you are after being reborn from the ashes, it will continue to be consumed. Once the power of your own blood is consumed too much, your origin will be damaged.
"I have to say, you exceeded my expectations. But now I have to use all my strength." Following Cao Yuwei's words, the Phoenix True Fire converged towards it like an ocean embracing all rivers, actually taking back the Phoenix True Flame Domain. .
The blazing true fire of the phoenix condensed and formed around its body, turning into a magnificent golden-red armor covering its whole body. Holding a sword in its hand, it stared at the beautiful young master like a demon.
The beautiful young master did not pursue him and stood at a distance, calming down his somewhat agitated mood. Although this battle did not last long, her mood was becoming more and more exciting.
She didn't know whether she could really resist it until she faced the Great Demon King-level immortal fire phoenix. Her confidence came from what Tang San had given her before. And as the battle continued, when she really started to suppress her opponent, and relied on the colorful sky fire liquid to protect herself from the Phoenix True Fire, she knew that she really could do it.
Over the past hundred years, Tang San taught her many fighting techniques, all of which were most suitable for her to use. Just like the previous Netherworld Thrust and Netherworld Hundred Claws. There was also the sword Xinghan that had just cut off Cao Yuwei's finger for the first time. From Tang San's point of view, these were truly magical skills. After he slightly modified them and taught them to Young Master Mei, they were the most suitable for her to use.
The more he used these abilities, the more Young Master Mei could not help but become convinced of Tang San. When Tang San first told her that these belonged to the category of divine skills, she was still somewhat confused. However, at this time, she was able to continuously injure and oppress her opponents through levels. If it wasn't a magical skill, how could she do it given the gap in cultivation?
At this moment, all the emperors standing on the Emperor Tianzhu looked at this little girl with admiration. When the Phoenix True Flame Domain appeared, what they were considering was how long Young Master Mei could persist in this domain. The White Tiger Demon Emperor and the Jingfeng Demon Emperor were even ready to rescue them. However, as the battle continued, they watched dumbfoundedly. Young Master Mei actually suppressed a great demon king of the Immortal Fire Phoenix Tribe. In the true sense of the word, he suppressed him and even forced him to be reborn from the ashes. How incredible this is
Just as Cao Yuwei thought in his heart, the first-level demon king and the ordinary demon king are not the same thing! What's more, they are descendants of the top three powerful races in the Tianyu Empire. In terms of profound foundation, it is not impossible to say that the Immortal Fire Phoenix lineage is the strongest in the Tianyu Empire. After all, the Sky Fox Clan is not good at fighting.
But just like that, he was actually suppressed by a beautiful young master who was a big lower rank. The Peacock Monster Clan doesn’t even have an emperor now! Mr. Mei was still a ninth-level being more than half a year ago and was still participating in the Ancestral Classic. And today, more than half a year later, she is able to compete with the Great Demon King. So, given a few more years, how powerful will she be? How long will it take for her to become an emperor? The emperors present all felt a little strange at this time, because the strength displayed by the beautiful young master was really beyond their expectations!
The Demon Emperor Tianhu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.
From his point of view, everything he has to do is for the better continuation of the monster clan and the spirit clan, and for the fairy continent to always exist as the core of the entire plane.
The reason why he targeted this little girl was because when she first won the championship, he had felt something unusual in her, and he also felt a stronger threat from her companion. Even with his status as an emperor, he can feel this threat. The threat is not to himself, but to what he protects.
Therefore, he secretly guided the Dark Demon Emperor to hunt down Tang San and Young Master Mei.
After the return of the Dark Demon King, he said that there was a power similar to Poseidon that blocked him, but it had been eliminated by him, and the boy named Shura was completely wiped out. As expected, the Great Demon Emperor Tianhu could no longer feel the luck that belonged to Shura.
Therefore, all he needs to do is strangle the little girl in front of him in the cradle, or at least interrupt her luck, then the threat should disappear.
However, even the Great Demon Emperor Tianhu himself did not expect that Young Master Mei could grow so fast. In just over half a year, not only did he successfully overcome the tribulation, but he was also able to compete with a first-level bloodline powerhouse at the level of the Great Demon King. The stronger the ability she shows, the more threatening the Sky Fox Demon Emperor will naturally feel from her. And this threat has risen to a new level.
The sword in Cao Yuwei's hand shone with a dazzling golden-red light, and his whole body was full of murderous aura. Taking a step forward, the sword slashed out boldly. The sky suddenly became violently distorted. The blazing sword intent directly enveloped Young Master Xiang Mei's body.
It's still strength that defeats skill.
The beautiful young master's expression did not change, he took the initiative to take a step forward, and another Heavenly Mysterious Circle came out.
The extremely powerful blow of the sword was once again put aside. There were all top experts present, and they all could see that the skill that the beautiful young master was displaying now was definitely a magical skill among the magical skills. The opponent's strength is obviously much stronger than hers, but they just can't break through her super strong defense.
However, no one doubts the origin of this ability. After all, the Peacock Demon Clan’s best talent is the movement of stars. Her technique is similar to that of Dou Zhuanxing.
After Master Mei defused Cao Yuwei's attack this time, he did not rush to attack. He just stood still.
Cao Yuwei frowned slightly. Is this little girl's perception so sharp? After he turned into armor with flames, he had other means. If Mr. Mei followed up with the attack, he would be sure to use this method to restrain her. But the beautiful young master did not step forward, so his originally prepared ability had to be interrupted.
The sword was slashed out again, and the powerful sword intention was a bit stronger than before. Cao Yuwei followed the sword and went straight towards the beautiful young master.
The Tianji Ling in the hand of the beautiful master once again became a mysterious circle in the sky, and he switched his position in an instant. While defusing the opponent's attack, it also defuses the opponent's lock. And the next moment, she was already on the other side. The golden-red light on Cao Yuwei's body flashed away. If she hadn't dodged quickly, there would undoubtedly have been another ability coming.
Spend money! She seemed to be fighting Cao Yuwei to death.
