"Miss Lou."
On the outside of the UEFA Cup finals stage, two men in suits and ties walked quietly in front of the chattering figure, then bowed slightly and said with a hint of respect: "My young master would like to invite you to come over and reminisce about old times."
"Your young master? Who is he?"
"My young master said... you will know when you go there."
Amid the frenzied shouts on and off the stage, the woman with her lavender dress extended to the middle finger of her right hand looked up and down at the two people in front of her with strange eyes, then waved her hands gracefully, and her voice became extremely ladylike and soft.
"Is your young master a fool?" She said: "Go back and tell him that I don't have time to pay attention to you kids now..."
"Let him do what he has to do."
Amid the suppressed laughter of Xiao Hongchen, the two men with their hands behind their backs looked at each other for a while, and finally left in embarrassment without leaving any more unnecessary words. The woman with her long hair swaying quietly held her chin and stared at the motionless competition stage for a while. Finally, she turned her head unbearably and comforted the little girl who had been silent: " Okay, little guy, everything has its destiny..."
"I, I'm fine." Mengzhu replied with a slight disappointment: "I'm just... a little worried."
"This is not the old era anymore. The system cannot lie." An Ran said in a whisper: "Your old club, Wings of Freedom, are not as worried as you are. What else do you have to worry about..."
"The results are out..."
"The results are out!"
Several shouts and shouts were like rolling waves, coming from a corner of the finals hall, and then quickly spread to the other side along the seats where the audience was sitting. Not long after, all the tables on the player side received official referee reports from the league, and the broad stage in front of them gradually rose, and then suddenly lit up, turning on the last scene of the previous game. The scene was played back again - the moment when the long sword collided with the barrier passed in the blink of an eye, and the scene of the white-armored woman being blown away again appeared before everyone's eyes, but the air wall derived from the Wind-Binding Holy Hammer exploded. Behind him, the figure belonging to St. James was still standing there intact, seemingly not damaged at all by this explosion. Amidst the cheers that suddenly erupted from a corner of the auditorium in the back, the three-dimensional impact was suddenly fixed on this moment, and then with the controlled frame-by-frame playback, the final result of the game was displayed in front of everyone.
The dazzling light pillar located in the center of the hall suddenly trembled, then burst out and spread to the surroundings of the hall. .
Even in the slow-motion shot, the infinitely perfect ripples of the arc still spread to every corner of sight at an extremely fast speed, and then swallowed up the figure of the man who was closer with irresistible momentum. Then he stepped over the female figure who fell to the ground not far away, and flew to the far side of the wall that the audience could not see. The slow-motion picture then fell back again due to the background operation, and finally stopped at the moment when St. James was swallowed by the light curtain under everyone's silent gaze.
"Although the scene and environment of the competition have undergone unexpected sudden changes, the rules set by the system have not changed, and the result of the competition... is still determined by life and death!" Looking behind the stopped stopwatch, Long With an eight-digit decimal point, Blossoms sighed and said: "So with the precise positioning of the system, we can solemnly announce..."
"Xue Ling Huan Bing won this game!"
Wow——
The exclamations from the audience all around erupted together with a few big characters that slowly appeared on the stage. Then, with the flashing lights and passionate music all around, the entire venue was transformed into a sea of enthusiasm. Mengzhu, who was sitting next to Xu Yuliu, jumped up together with the crowd in the other direction of the contestants' seats, seeming to be cheering for such a result, and then faced the shouts and protests that broke out in the other corner of the auditorium, He made an internationally accepted gesture: "I'll let you be dissatisfied and protest! Huh! Now I'm satisfied!"
"Double-death endings due to environmental killing are not uncommon in League Cup games." Xu Yu Liushang calmly concluded: "However... it is probably the first time in the league to use such rules to determine the outcome. Bar."
"Is this what Xue Ling Huan Bing meant by his last move?" Xiao Hongchen on the other side opened his mouth wide: "You city people are really scary if you can even calculate such a thing..."
"No, she probably didn't calculate that."
He put his finger on his brow, and the light of memory flashed in his eyes as he whispered: "Unless they have seen it in advance, no one will know what the final execution method of that scene was, and her last sword... was not A complete sword attack, the last sword may be just her helpless choice when she has no other choice, which can lead to such a result..."
"It just means you're lucky."
In the sofa group on the other side of the players' bench, a certain woman who was congratulating the members of the Wings of Freedom stretched out her hand to suppress the sound nearby, and then said the same thing. She frowned tightly and looked back at the noisy crowd of spectators in front of her. Then she looked at the crowd of people around her who were still sparsely cheering for her, and sighed deeply: "In short, I am lucky. After winning a game, I hope you can work harder in the future, maybe you can really achieve our goal of meeting in the final..."
She frowned again, then took the jacket handed over by a subordinate and put it on her competition tights, covering up her flawless body curves. As she was about to turn around, an unexpected voice gradually sounded, and then came to her side as she gradually approached: "Are you okay? It seems like you were having a hard time beating..."
"You know me so well, you should know my style." The woman said without looking back: "A competition of this level has not reached the point where I am worried."
"Really?" The man withdrew his hand that wanted to touch the other person and put it behind his back: "Originally, I prepared some new equipment for you... uh."
"Is it the company's resource?"
"Yes... I earned it by taking risks on my own. There is absolutely no problem!" The man hurriedly waved his hands: "Believe me, how could I make the same mistake as Liao Zhishan?"
"……That's good."
The woman withdrew her cold gaze and was silent for a while. Finally, she grabbed the collar of her coat and warned in a low voice: "We can't make any more mistakes in the following games. You and half a box of cigarettes... …We must keep going.”
The man did not answer, but suddenly raised his head and looked at her quietly. The woman, who seemed to have noticed the strange gaze of the other party, gradually stopped talking, then took a deep breath, and said what she wanted to say. Skip to the end: "If possible..."
"I still hope that we can reach the top of the league."
Leaving behind her last whisper, she walked towards the lounge prepared by the league for the players. In the direction of the audience seats where the discussion was still heated in the back, a passionate voice also sounded at this time: "Okay, audience gentlemen, you guys The next thing we have to face is the duel between two other warriors, they are Liangchen Meiyu from the Wings of Freedom, and..."
In the dim light, the man from before smiled in a deep voice with some understanding, and then under the gaze of all the members, he turned and walked towards the competition seat: "Don't worry, my female boss..."
"No matter who it is, they will not be my opponent now."
"Small wooden table...small wooden table..."
The night seemed to gradually turn white as time went by, which seemed to be a sign that dawn was coming. However, those who knew Tania knew that it was the light tower above the church in the north of the city that was lit up every morning. The shining light covered part of the sky there with a layer of milky white fluorescence. Many players have tried to uncover the shining mystery of this church. However, due to the obstruction of the guards and the rule of the same time every day, they finally gave up on this seemingly meaningless exploration and turned to this bright light. It is defined as the unique clock system of Tania City. However, Duan Qing, who had arrived here at this time, was still somewhat satisfied with the clues found in this place, as he was humming a tune while rummaging through the things here: "Little wooden chair... little wooden chair" …”
"Sir." The maid not far away finally said in a long voice: "It's just an ordinary table and chair. Please don't be so excited..."
"Oh, Ninglan, these are not ordinary tables and chairs." Without looking back, he flipped the abandoned tables and chairs in front of him up and down. Duan Qing's voice still revealed unreasonable passion: "This is wood. Tables and chairs made of wood! Do you know that they are made of wood... Wow, is this the legendary thermos bottle? Don't forget to take it, don't forget to take it..."
"……gentlemen!"
"Ah? What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"Sir..." Ciyu Ninglan walked to the side and looked at Duan Qing's face with malicious eyes: "If you make a similar wolf howl again, Ninglan will be on the message of the group leader and Miss Liu Shang. It’s an added bonus.”
"Uh...this isn't something very embarrassing, okay?"
"Okay, Ninglan will go now..."
"No, no, no!"
Dropping the barrel in his hand, Duan Qing hurriedly took the maid's hand, and at the same time put on a smiling expression: "It's so late, how bad it is to disturb their rest..."
"You're talking about game time." The maid maintained her usual smile: "In real time... it's only about nine o'clock now."
"Uh..." Then more beads of sweat appeared on Duan Qing's face: "Well... I was wrong, sister, please don't report me, okay? If they know that I sneaked back... ah Hahaha, let’s investigate as soon as possible!”
He turned around and picked up the wooden barrel that he had dropped before: "Look, the quality of this hat is so good. It has a strange shape and a hard material. It looks like it is not a prop used by ordinary civilians..."
"That's the barrel, sir."
"...I was just joking, I won't really blame it on myself."
"Have you discovered anything?" She put away her secret smile and looked at the barrel in Duan Qing's hand and asked, "Those things about here..."
"……yes."
Duan Qing also put away the smile on his face and pointed to various abandoned furniture not far away: "Although I don't know if there are religions in this world and what their respective doctrines are, but...these props here, No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a place where ordinary people live.”
"These pieces of wood are still very new." He knocked on the wood in his hand, and finally added: "It seems that it was abandoned not long ago."
"It fits Haosman's background very well." Ningyu Ninglan agreed softly: "If we define it based on the existing intelligence."
"This bottle should have been filled with medicine." Duan Qing took out the bottle he found before, put it in his hand and started to play with it: "If someone is a doctor or knows some alchemy, he may be able to guess what's inside." ingredients, and then infer the condition of patients who have taken it.”
"The patient's specific condition will become an important clue." Ciyu Ninglan continued Duan Qing's words: "It's a pity that there is only this bottle..."
"Someone should have cleaned it." Duan Qing glanced around the place: "Hurry, simple, but very skilled. Either they are the aborigines here, or they are very good at disguising and cleaning up afterwards... "
"They moved away almost everything that could be moved." The maid also nodded: "Even the things in the drawers were taken away. Only the remnants of some daily necessities and waste paper are still there..."
"There is no dust on the table, and there is no dust on the ground..."
"There are no footprints either."
"What is that, a mop that was broken on purpose?"
"The windows are all rusty, although I can't tell what the material is..."
"The sculptures here are very special. Which civilization's painting style is this?"
"There are obvious signs of friction on the central table. According to Ninglan's guess... someone should have slept here."
With the light coming from above, the two people quickly inspected the exotic-style hall, then stopped in front of a wall on the side of the church, looking around with their arms raised: "...still. There is this place, this should be a frequently used entrance and exit, look at the sides of these two statues... there are obviously signs of polishing."
"But there is no door here." Anyu Ninglan held her face and showed a confused expression: "Why is this happening? Could it be that they stood here deliberately..."
"You, you, it's starting again." Sighing and looking away from a shallow mark on the ground, Duan Qing clapped his hands and stood up: "There are two of us here, just say whatever comes to mind... …”
He stretched out his hand to indicate, and then watched the smiling maid slowly step forward, stretched out her hand to touch the wall twice, and then pushed hard to open a gap in the secret door on the wall. A creaking sound immediately appeared in front of the two people, and then a hazy light appeared in the night wind coming from behind: "It seems..."
"That's it."
Glancing behind the gap on the wall, Duan Qing slowly turned around and looked at the door of the church, where a figure suddenly appeared under the night light, and touched his nose with some embarrassment. : "Is the time up? Ninglan, why didn't you remind me..."
"It will take about a few minutes for the large army to react." The maid stood behind Duan Qing, with her hands folded in front of her belly: "So the people who appear here at this time..."
"Oh, I'm really sorry." Duan Qing nodded clearly, and then asked in a high voice: "Are you the owner of this place?"
"I am... your nightmare."
The black shadow paused for a moment with the staff in his hand, and then replied in a heavy voice.
