Snow Mountain Villa is very quiet at twelve o'clock in the night.
The biting cold wind was rarely angry, and only gentle air currents pushed the snow and ice particles, covering human footprints bit by bit, returning the earth to flawless whiteness once again.
And in such a quiet night, for people with sensitive five senses, the slightest movement will become extremely jarring. Therefore, when the faint human voice was mixed in the wind, Xiao Ye regained consciousness almost immediately.
She walked silently to the window, focusing on catching the strange movement.
The sound was not harsh, but it was enough for the adventurer to determine without resorting to the power of a waveguide that it seemed to be the sound of a dispute that someone had deliberately suppressed. The direction of the sound source was close to the backyard, and further away there was only a cedar forest backing the mountain, and there were no houses nearby.
——So, the person who had the argument was outside where no one was supposed to be under curfew.
Xiaoye thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that the patrol team accidentally started a fight and woke up the contestants due to a mistake in the performance. It was probably a well-designed part. She put on her cloak and walked out of the room - she wanted to ask the Kamiterajima siblings to join them, but as we all know, Southerners cannot hear when they sleep. After knocking lightly on the door to no avail, I had to give up temporarily in order to avoid waking up the maid.
It was dark in the wooden house, only the sound of the burning fire echoed in my ears. Xiaoye tiptoed towards the first floor. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the door suddenly opened.
A woman dressed in pitch black stood outside the door, holding a torch, and the flames made her pale face look particularly frightening—no doubt, this was a familiar face to the adventurers who came in a deer cart.
Xiao Ye was startled, but before she could speak, she saw the housekeeper Sandy with a cold look on her face: "Fengxue Villa prohibits going out after nine o'clock at night. Anyone who violates the curfew must leave the Villa immediately."
"Sorry, I'll just..."
"But." The housekeeper's stiff voice interrupted Xiaoye, "If the adventurer has made up his mind to go, please be sure to abide by two rules."
"First, only one magical beast is allowed to be carried and used."
"Secondly, it must not be discovered by the patrol."
"Now, you can enter Snow Wind Villa at night - if you have enough strength and courage."
After finishing speaking, the housekeeper bowed and saluted, her figure melted into the night and disappeared.
[Is this a hidden plot in My Everyday Everyday?]
[Benefits for late sleeperswww]
[I must say this as someone who was baptized by last year’s horror movie! A snowstorm battle with a night plot is a good snowstorm battle! 】
[Brother Xiuzhi was driven back just now when he wanted to go out. It seems that it can only be triggered after twelve o'clock? 】
[The housekeeper scares me to death, don’t you dare to use wall-colored foundation]
After finally seeing the new progress, the drowsy audience instantly became energetic and couldn't wait to see how different Snow Villa was at night. The first adventurer who opened the hidden plot was not in a hurry at all. He first selected the Poké Ball, packed his bag, and then knocked on the door for five minutes under the silent gaze of countless spectators. Then he finally decided to give up and sleep without waking up. teammates, walking out the door alone.
The camera moved outdoors, and the onlookers realized that there were surprisingly many patrols on the road.
They were wearing black robes, covering their whole bodies tightly, not even a hair was exposed. Everyone was silent and walking in a hurry. Under the swaying light of the portable oil lamps, it was like a group of black ghosts floating in the villa. It was very scary at first glance.
The night owls in the live broadcast room watched the patrols passing by the house, feeling dazzled and unable to find a safe gap. And just before the light of the previous group of oil lamps left the door, the door was pushed open silently.
The audience was so nervous that they held their breath - the Beidou players in the room couldn't see the other side of the room, but they could clearly see another team at the corner about to walk out. In less than three seconds, this place will be exposed to the sight of the patrol!
However, the white-robed adventurer on the screen did not move forward directly. The man jumped on the spot, and he didn't know how he used his strength. As if he had wings, he rolled over to the back of the chimney on the roof. The door closed gently with his remaining strength without making a sound - the next second, the second patrol had passed by the door without any notice.
This move was very much like an assassin in the ancient West. Half of the night owls in the live broadcast room let out a long sigh of relief, and half of them widened their eyes in astonishment. Even the barrage area was shocked into silence for a while before regaining its energy.
【Oh my god, it's amazing】
[Can anyone tell me how he knew someone was coming soon]
[With this skill, no wonder he dared to beat a terrorist holding a bomb remote control]
[I don’t necessarily know that someone is coming. The key to sneaking is to move quickly between two hiding spots]
[I understand the truth, but do you mean flying up to the roof...]
[Hey, why didn’t he move for so long? 】
In the cold wind, the adventurer hid his body behind the chimney and did not move rashly.
When he turned his head and looked into the distance and the camera moved away with his sight, the audience in the live broadcast room realized that there were actually men in black robes looking around standing on the roofs of several higher buildings nearby!
The dark robe almost blends into the night and is difficult to detect with the naked eye. It wasn't until the camera zoomed in that the onlookers suddenly realized.
[This is too difficult. If you don’t see anyone on the roof, you will be on the spot]
[So in addition to hiding from the patrol view on the ground, you also have to hide from the sky, ○uke○real hammer wwww]
[How to play without an eagle eye.jpg]
[I think Beidou is a bit difficult to get out of...]
Not far away, the man in black robe standing on the highest point of the house would turn his gaze in the direction of the chimney from time to time. He could easily be discovered if he left the bunker at will. The protagonist in the live broadcast was obviously aware of this - the adventurer did not act in a hurry. After scanning the roof covered with pure white snow, he carefully picked up a small pebble that fell at his feet.
A few seconds later, the stone bounced out from between two fingers and hit the window of another house across the road.
The crisp sound of rocks hitting glass was extremely harsh in the night. Just when the watcher at the top turned his head following the sound, the instigator finally made a move - he stepped hard on the chimney with his long boots, and his whole body rose into the air, almost turning into a white lightning. The adventurer's figure passed over half of the wooden house and accurately fell into the fluffy haystack behind the house, leaving no trace on the snow on the roof.
When the watcher, who found nothing, withdrew his gaze, and the adventurer walked out of the haystack safely through the barrier of the courtyard wall, the entire live broadcast room was filled with people in awe.
【Mom, I saw the flying man.jpg】
[Is the difficulty setting of the dungeon at night too high...How do mortals who don’t know Kung Fu go out?]
[Don’t be fooled by Beidou, mortals who don’t know kung fu can use Pokémon www]
[Yes, you can use Pokémon at night...so why did Mr. Beidou go into battle personally orz]
[Has anyone seen which one Beidou took with him when he went out]
[Forest lizard, the green thief in the shell is obvious]
[Uh...that's really not very helpful]
[It would be more convenient for the super type to teleport, or the ghost type to spit out some black mist. Isn’t there a ghost in Beidou?]
[Ghost Stone: The T monster will run out of blue bars in one day, so don’t cue]
[hhhh Let Ghost Stone go, it’s exhausted and deformed]
After avoiding the most patrolled area, the next journey became much easier - Xiaoye walked past the messy cleaning tools and debris behind the backyard and successfully entered the cedar forest.
The murmur of arguments became clearly audible. Xiaoye slowed down and heard the young man's arrogant voice.
"It seems that Young Master Carl looks down on us and won't even tell us the truth?" The tall young man raised his eyebrows and said in a sinister manner, "If you do this, I can only find a few patrolmen to make them Escorting you home."
"It's a pity that you don't even have a travel permit. I'm afraid you're not escorting me home, but escorting you out of the city." The boy who spoke next also imitated the tone of the leader, fully acting like a follower.
The "young master" surrounded by three people was slender, holding two iron swords awkwardly in his hands, his head hung low, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
"...If you need me to do anything, I will finish it tomorrow." The bullied little stammered, not even daring to raise his voice a little, "Can you let me go today? I have something else to do. To do..."
"Oh? What's so urgent that you, a quail, have the courage to defy the curfew?" The bully leader said with a serious face, "Or do you think that being the grandson of the great elder will give you privileges?"
Follower No. 2 sneered, "Brother Clive, please stop teasing me. This guy is obviously the child of a genius magician from our Himi family, but he doesn't have any magic power at all. I even feel sorry for the elder." Shameful - fortunately those two adults died early, otherwise, my son would have pissed him back into the coffin while he was still alive."
The boy who was verbally attacked was like a wooden person who couldn't take any sparks. Even though the other person had insulted his parents, he still had no temper. He just repeated his begging for mercy in a dull voice, as if he just wanted to run away quickly. But the bully leader named "Clive" didn't want to let him go at all. He stretched out his hand and pulled Carl, who was half a head shorter than him, back to his original position. "How about this - I just want to move my body. You Aren’t you practicing your sword every day? How about I help you test the results? Don’t worry, I will never use magic to bully you.”
Having said that, the big and round Clive stood like a hill in front of Carl, and he obviously didn't just want to "test the results."
"..." The young man holding the sword shrank back.
Before the situation became unmanageable, a faint sigh came from the other side of the woods.
The sudden strange noise in the dark forest was a bit scary. Clive's eyebrows jumped in surprise and he shouted: "Who!"
"Sorry for disturbing everyone." The adventurer in white robe walked out slowly. The mask covered the upper half of the face, so that the boys of the Himi family could only see the curved corners of the visitor's mouth, "I just feel a little sorry."
"When I was still young, my ancestors once told me that there was an amazing family living in the Snowy Mountains - they were strong and passionate, and could resist the wind and snow with the strength of mortals and survive the harshest winter."
Although Clive and his gang of bullies felt that the advent of this adventurer was threatening, everyone would not like to hear compliments and raised their chins high when they heard the words - there was no doubt that the next sentence would be "No." To think that there are idiots in such a powerful family!”
The adventurer shook his head and said slowly, "It's just...the ancestors also said that the Himi family is a united, kind-hearted family that is willing to help each other. It seems that this is not the case now."
The bully gang was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the other party was scolding them.
Clive's face suddenly darkened, "Hey, take a closer look, isn't this the distinguished guest staying at Master Carl's house? Why, he eats people with a short tongue and a soft hand, and he came here to give us some rationale?"
"How is that possible?" The white-robed adventurer looked surprised.
"Regardless of whether there are flaws in character or not -" this sentence made Clive's face twitch again, "- there is no doubt about the strength of the Himi family. I heard you just say 'you want to move your body', That’s why I came here to say hello to you.”
The adventurer bowed politely and put his right hand on the iron sword at his waist. He said with a smile: "It is more interesting to compete with opponents who are willing to fight than to force others to do something difficult - I believe in the strong men of the Himi family. Do you think so too?"
Clive and his followers: "..."
As early as the morning, the news spread throughout the villa that the adventurer staying at Carl's house had beaten the patrol leader Jean to death. Clive regards himself as "the outstanding magician of the younger generation", but Gene is a real fighting force in the villa. He is an unattainable role model for the teenagers - Gene can't beat him, so why is he just playing tricks?
The young man had been holding back his anger and had no place to express it. He didn't dare to really accept the challenge, so he could only stamp his foot angrily, "No matter how hard I fight, you have ruined my fun! I won't accompany you anymore!"
The bully gang left the scene collectively, cursing, and before leaving, they did not forget to use cruel words to warn the adventurers to be careful. After a while, they were discovered by the patrol and kicked out of the villa. Xiaoye, however, didn't care at all about the oncoming quarrels. Watching Clive and his followers evacuate, she couldn't help but feel filled with emotion in her heart.
She had seen the boy's fierce face in Bailang Town. It was just that at that time, he was pressed to the ground by Karl and rubbed in the ring. His shape was extremely miserable, and he couldn't even win against the other person by taunting him. And now...
Xiaoye cast her gaze at the "little pitiful" with his head hanging down, and couldn't help but have a question mark floating on his head.
Could it be that... Carl discovered his conscience and felt that he had gone too far in bullying his own people, so he decided to have fun bullying his friends in the script? ?
"Um..." The bullied boy understood that the other party was trying to save him, and hesitantly wanted to say thank you. Before he could say anything, the adventurer smiled and said, "By the way, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I heard that you personally selected the mushroom soup? My companion and I liked it very much."
The sudden change of topic made Karl stunned, "Huh? No need..."
"You have something urgent, right? I won't disturb you anymore. We'll talk tomorrow." The adventurer in white robe said with a smile, taking a step back to give way.
The thin young man stared at the other person for a moment with his beautiful glazed eyes, bowed silently, and then ran away with the sword in his arms.
Xiaoye watched Karl go away, keenly aware that the direction he left was not his residence.
It's midnight, and there's a curfew... Where does this timid and weak-looking young master want to go?
Xiaoye realizes that she may have touched on a clue to an important plot. Just as she was about to follow him quietly, she suddenly made a move and stopped.
In the live broadcast room, the adventurer in white robes raised his head without warning and met the eyes of millions of spectators outside the screen.
The audience was stunned, feeling that this scene was indescribably inconsistent - after a few seconds, they realized something.
Knowing that there are drone videos around them, most people can't help but look for the whereabouts of the camera with their eyes. There are even lively guys who assume the role of anchors for a second and chat with the audience. But this contestant never set his sights on the drone, as if there was no video recording equipment around.
This is the first time that the trainer named "Beidou" looks directly at the camera with his cold eyes.
Then, the man in white robe made a gesture to the camera - on the battlefield of professional trainers, this commonly used gesture means danger and reminds teammates to evacuate quickly; while in a snowstorm battle, it means " If you find something unusual, call the staff urgently.”
Countless people watching the live broadcast were stunned in front of the screen. The person in the camera didn't stop any longer, turned around and ran towards the steep hill.
Carl's home is located in the remote southeast corner of Snow Mountain Villa, on the edge of the cedar forest. At the other end of the jungle, on the towering mountains, stands an ancient building - the Fengxue Temple.
It is located on a steep mountaintop, with only a narrow path leading to the gate. On both sides of the trail are deep ravines covered with ice spikes, and strong winds often disturb people's steps in the mountains. If you lose your footing and fall, you will surely die here. This is where the Himi people cultivate their character. Only by relying on their own strength to cross dangerous places and reach the temple can they be recognized as a qualified magician.
It is said that many years ago, a brave man once visited this place. He did not use any magic, nor did he carry a magical beast. He easily reached the Fengxue Temple with only his own hands and feet, and raised the ancient divine sword in it. As a result, the Himi clan admired him with admiration and formed a deep friendship with the hero. Since then, Fengxue Temple has also become a place of trial for foreigners. Xiaoye once heard some residents mention that during the last three days of this week, Fengxue Temple will be open to adventurers, and those who pass the trial will be Obtained the approval of all Himi family members.
However, now that the "map opening time" was not supposed to arrive, Xiaoye's waveguide power sensed the breath of the contestants behind the blocked iron gate - there was nothing above their heads, and there was no drone at all. shadow.
This is not a difficult thing to understand. Although the snowstorm battle itself is more entertainment than competition, the prizes prepared by the Himi family are so rich that some trainers are willing to break the rules and try to use other methods to achieve better results. Xiaoye once heard someone secretly discussing how to get rid of the drone and conduct illegal operations such as stealing intelligence - she had always turned a blind eye to such behavior and had no intention of becoming a disciplinary committee member.
The premise is that the offender did not rely on force to bully innocent people.
The purple-haired adventurer climbed up the hill quickly, and within a few breaths he arrived at the entrance of the Snow Wind Temple on the cliff. The heavy iron door was ajar, and the chain that broke into two pieces fell to the ground. There were obvious signs of corrosion by venom on the section.
She did not push the creaking old iron door, but jumped up and silently climbed over the high fence. The drone that followed raised its angle of view in the night sky. When the human figure came into the picture, the sound of conversations hidden behind the hills and iron gates was also clearly transmitted to the radio.
"I say it again, give us the blue stone." The speaker was a burly boy, with a hint of threat in his impatient tone. The double bomb gas next to him stared at him with eager eyes, poisonous smoke billowing from his mouth, as if he was going to fight if he disagreed.
"Just think that we passed the test according to the procedures and got the reward. In the past years, there were so many missed shots by drones. How could we be so particular about it?" His companion agreed, reaching out to take the other side. Something in the person's arms - but the girl became more alert, taking a few steps back to avoid the contestant's hand.
Lily held the shining blue jade tightly and pursed her lips nervously and fearfully.
When she heard a sound inside the door, she thought it was a wild Pokémon entering by mistake. Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached the source of the sound, she was stopped by two tall contestants - there was no drone following them. He was also unscrupulous in his words and deeds, not caring about the rules of the game, and made straightforward demands like a robber.
"No, this is an important treasure entrusted to me by the elders." The young girl shook her head and glared stubbornly at the uninvited guests, "Unless I get the token, I will not give the blue stone to you. .”
No matter how perfect her acting skills are, Lily is only a seven-year-old child after all. She has not mastered the ability yet, has no Pokémon partners, and even the communicator in case of emergencies was accidentally left in the room. But even so, she didn't want to hand over the things in her hands to these two bad guys who bullied others.
"Damn, are you annoying? I'm not interested in playing house with you!" The burly contestant yelled angrily, making the girl tremble in shock. Just when he was about to say more harsh words, the familiar sound of propeller operation suddenly entered his ears.
The two offenders raised their heads reflexively and saw that at some point, a dark drone was hovering above them, flashing red light in warning.
Found!
Lily, whose eyes were red with nervousness, also saw the arrival of the drone. Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the offender cursed and rushed forward to snatch the blue jade from her hand!
His wishful thinking was very clever - he was wearing a hood and mask, and he couldn't tell which player he was in the dark night. As long as you grab the stone and run away immediately, what's the use of a mere drone?
The girl exclaimed and stepped back subconsciously.
She had been forced to the edge of the road, with an unprotected icy stream behind her. In her panic, she stepped on a loose rock on the edge of the cliff. She suddenly lost her balance and fell straight backwards.
The violator's violent expression froze on his face, and countless viewers screamed in front of the screen. The staff who received the emergency call had just broken in and were almost blinded by the scene.
The ice stream around the Wind and Snow Temple is not very deep, but for the sake of visual effect, every corner is covered with ice edges that are sharp enough to hurt people - when the trial starts in a few days, someone will naturally be responsible for acting as a lifeguard, but The entire venue is still not open, and there is no protection at all on the cliff!
The young girl fell heavily. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her unable to figure out what was happening, and her dark eyes were full of helplessness and confusion that had not faded away.
——Then, it was lit up with dazzling crystal blue in the next moment.
The light came too suddenly and was too dazzling; the audience in the live broadcast room stared at the screen for several seconds before realizing that it was not a real pair of wings.
The moment Lily lost her footing and fell, a snow-white shadow flashed across like thunder, following the girl without hesitation as she jumped down the ice stream. She stretched out her hands and held the girl firmly in her arms, while magnificent crystal blue light spurted out from the soles of her feet.
The huge power almost offset the constraints of gravity, like a pair of huge wings of light slowly unfolding in the dark night, beautiful, dazzling, and shocking.
When the anxious staff rushed to the edge of the cliff and stretched their necks to look down, the flowing blue light had not yet extinguished.
The hard ice edge had been shattered into pieces by that blow, and the ground more than ten meters below was covered with ice fragments, flying radially in all directions. Under the light, it was as beautiful as the stars in the sky. The person surrounded by the stream of light stood at the center of the explosion, carefully letting go of his hand and letting the girl stand firm on the ice.
Lily opened her eyes in confusion and looked around anxiously, as if she hadn't realized that she had just walked away from the gate of hell.
The adventurer in white robe smiled and gently stroked the girl's head.
“You know—risk-takers always show up when their employer is in crisis, right?”
The staff who arrived late quickly took care of everything.
They easily subdued the two perpetrators who were trying to escape and took them to the security office; the frightened little girl was carefully brought back to the top of the cliff by the Pokémon and underwent a detailed physical examination - except for the splash of ice on her arm. Apart from scratches and a bit of blood, she was miraculously unscathed.
The intimidated viewers in the live broadcast room saw that the white-robed adventurer who had just stood up raised his head again and looked at them through the camera.
The light purple eyes behind the mask lowered slightly. Then, the adventurer bowed to the camera.
"I'm sorry," she said.
The sounds and images gradually faded away, and the picture finally returned to darkness, which seemed to indicate that today's nighttime plot had come to an end. However, the barrages and comment areas did not quiet down at all as the live broadcast ended.
It’s not just the Snow Battle live broadcast room at Station N—at this moment, the GT Forum, the world’s largest online gathering place for trainers, is also completely exploding.
