One o'clock in the morning, Snow Mountain Villa.
"Boss, are we really not going to be discovered if we hide here all this time... Oops!"
At the end of an alley next to a house, Long Xing, who was hiding behind a box, carefully stretched out half of his head. He happened to see a heavily armed guard passing by the alley, and he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his position.
"No - as long as you stop poking your head," the boss said.
For southerners who are used to going out in a big way, Snow Mountain Villa at night is really too exciting. With Xiaoye's help, they finally stumbled out of the house. They struggled so hard that they didn't dare to breathe. They just arrived at the residential area across the road to the south of the Elder's Mansion.
This alley is actually not a good hiding place. There is only one exit, and there are often guards patrolling back and forth. It's hard to know the right time to rush out. If he hadn't accidentally kicked the fence while walking and attracted the attention of the patrol, he wouldn't have hid here in a panic.
As soon as the thought of "Fortunately, there are Pokémon to help" came up, the siblings saw two dream monsters flying back, and they all made frustrated expressions towards their trainers.
"Boss, the dream monsters are talking about..." Lijiu's eyes widened, "The illusion is completely useless against the guards at the alley and the people on the observation deck."
The two children looked at each other, feeling that they were in a desperate situation and could not escape. As the leader of the team, Beidou was very calm. He thanked the dream demon softly and then began to meditate on his own.
Even though it was already dark, the area around the Elder's Mansion was still heavily defended. Not only are patrol teams of two people frequently moving around, there are also towering observation towers standing at the four corners of the Elder's Mansion. The guards were armed with binoculars and kept an eye on every corner of the house. It was extremely difficult to sneak in quietly.
Xiaoye originally planned to let Dream Demon use illusion to deal with the people on the watchtower - the night is a perfect environment for ghost-type Pokémon that can become invisible, and illusion is a racial talent of the Dream Demon clan, even if it has not yet evolved into Dream Demon , it is not difficult to interfere with a person's five senses in a short period of time.
As for the reason why the dream monster's ability has no effect on any patroller...
Xiaoye lowered her voice, called one of the dream monsters, and gave it a few brief instructions. After receiving the order, the dream monster swooped away and soon brought certain news.
"No way..." When the Nanguo siblings heard this, their eyes widened with indignation, "This is cheating!"
When they first visited Snow Wind Villa, they heard a piece of news from the owner of the weapon shop - there were monsters that were good at illusions living in the Warcraft Forest, and tribesmen were often fooled around when they went to cut trees. At that time, the three of them considered that they all had super-type or ghost-type Pokémon, so they did not buy what the boss called "a magical necklace that can break all illusions."
But I never expected that this prop would be the standard equipment of the patrol team.
Like Xiaoye, they never expected that the very magical necklace sold in the weapon shop was not a fake prop, just for the purpose of "discussing with the Pokémon in advance not to use illusions as long as they see the necklace", but a genuine item that can resist magic. Technological products for mental moves - this is unreasonable. The boxes of necklaces in the store are so expensive together!
... Come back to your senses and think about business first.
Xiaoye shook her head, met the eyes of her siblings full of grievance and expectation, gave Pichu to Lijiu, and put the dream monster in Lijiu's arms onto her shoulders.
"Don't move here, I'll go take a look."
She stood up and jumped up the moment the patrolman at the alley walked past. She stepped on the walls on both sides of the narrow alley several times and climbed to the eaves of a three-story house almost instantly.
The two siblings were so frightened that they almost turned into screaming chickens - before they were forced to hide here, they could see clearly that there was a guard standing on the roof looking around!
Xiao Ye counted the time until the patrolmen at the alley passed by again. When she was hanging in the air with one hand, the other hand had already made the agreed gesture. The dream demon suddenly disappeared after hearing the order, and slammed into the straw pile on the other side of the house. The rustling sound was extremely harsh in the night.
While the people on the roof turned around, the adventurer in white robes silently turned over. The sloping roof of the house was not wide. She almost ran past the guard's clothes, even her steps accurately fell into the footprints left by the guard on the snow. Her whole body was like a light feather, silently It passed over the roof and disappeared under the shadow of the cedars beside the house.
In the lightless night, the white that should have been conspicuous almost completely disappeared into the shadows. The patrolman passing by the alley again and the guard on the roof turned their heads at the same time as if they were aware of it. They could only catch a glimpse of a light breeze blowing up fine snow, and there was no other trace.
At this moment, the adventurer was only one step away from the observation tower.
The Terashima siblings hiding in the box had no idea what their boss had done, so they could only pass the time by poking Pichu's cheek with questions. The audience in the live broadcast room who witnessed this scene cheered one after another.
【Oh my god, it's amazing】
[I would like to call those ten seconds just a standard assassin operationwww]
[I just said that they are in a dead end and cannot escape unless they teleport. They come out and get beaten]
[Correct what I just said: They are in a dead end, and normal humans cannot escape unless they teleport (smile)]
[Beidou, a man who made the night patrol configuration diagram drawn by a textual research expert invalid.jpg]
[…I couldn’t finish writing my paper, so I clicked on a live broadcast to refresh my mind. I would like to ask everyone, are all contemporary trainers in our country like this? 】
[It is recommended that newbies treat this person as a Pokémon, we trainers will not fly over the edge:)]
[Whoever says they can’t, I know how to do it. Who didn’t climb the wall every day when they were young?]
[...The one in front is from the Orange Islands, right? 】
Different from the barrages with the main theme of sand sculptures, there are as many data groups in the comment area as always, analyzing the comprehensive strength of the contestants one by one. As a player who only made it to the semi-finals in the novice-level regional league, Beidou barely managed to get out of the bottom circle in terms of combat power, so he would not be immediately ridiculed by the crowd; on the contrary, his abilities other than as a trainer are even more talked about, many People have taken out the highlights of his several personal appearances and analyzed them in detail.
Unlike Pokémon battles, the trainer's own skills are in a field that only practitioners in the field of actual combat have access to. Netizens who were only good at watching games and studying the arena couldn't analyze the reason for a while, and finally concluded hastily that this person had probably received professional training at a trainer training academy or a military academy.
On the other side, facing the biting cold wind, Xiaoye had already started to head towards the top of the observation deck.
Thanks to the meticulous construction of the Himi family scene - the observatory is all made of old-fashioned craftsmanship and made of wood, without using any smooth concrete, which brings a lot of convenience to adventurers' climbing. Under the cover of tall cedars, she climbed easily along the wooden frame, and soon reached the feet of the only guard on the stage.
The style of the observation tower completely replicates the appearance of an ancient military camp. The top of the tower is surrounded by tall spiked fences on three sides. Only the front is open for easy access and reconnaissance. This also means that Xiaoye cannot sneak attack from behind, and can only board the observation tower from the front; and the alarm bell is at the hand of the guard. Once the guard detects an abnormality and sounds the alarm bell, the infiltrator will inevitably be surrounded and find it difficult to escape.
Xiao Ye looked at the little dream monster clinging to her shoulder and did not send it out to attack in the east or west.
The adventurer took out a table fork from his arms - it was the tableware that came with the luggage given to the adventurer by the Himi family. However, Xiaoye really didn't have the habit of going out to eat with a fork in the wild, so she never used it - aiming The tall wall of the Elder's Mansion directly in front was thrown hard.
The sound of the fork hitting the wooden wall was clearly audible. The guard immediately became alert and leaned forward to look at the source of the sound. At the same time, the adventurer hanging at the bottom of the stage quickly took out a somewhat bulky object.
She straightened her arm, turned her wrist, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun came out of the wooden platform, she pulled the trigger without looking. The projectile shot out silently and accurately hit the guard's chin.
Hearing the sound of a body falling to the ground above her head, Xiaoye's guess was settled. In the shot, the figure behind "666" fills the screen and quickly climbs onto the high platform.
As a wealthy noble in the script, the weapons provided by the Himi family to adventurers are naturally more than just an iron sword. There are all kinds of tools, including daggers needed to dissect prey, hatchets that can cut off branches and leaves blocking roads, but many people find them too heavy and leave them at home rather than take them out.
Among the weapons provided by the Himi family, there is a very special air gun - the instruction manual states that this air gun contains ten arrows quenched with anesthetic. As long as it is shot by it, whether it is a human or a huge monster, it will He collapsed immediately and fell asleep for at least a few hours.
This is supposed to be a very powerful weapon, but after the Terashima siblings tried it, they found that the range of the air gun was less than ten meters, and it was extremely troublesome to operate, so they immediately threw it at the bottom of their luggage and forgot about it.
——Of course, Xiaoye knew that unlike the necklace, the so-called anesthetic was definitely fake. Not to mention that the plastic bullets fired during the test... With the style of southerners, they would definitely be so heartless as "playing with weapons while walking on the edge of a cliff and accidentally cut my hand and fell unconscious and fell down the mountain." The Himi family would not dare to joke about the lives and safety of the contestants, even if the contestants had no strings in their minds.
The eyelids of the "coma man" in front of him twitched from time to time, apparently pretending to be asleep dutifully. Xiaoye said "I'm sorry", but she didn't feel guilty at all. After a few searches, she found the uniform-style token used for guard handover and put it into her bag.
Then, she moved the sleeping guard inside to prevent him from accidentally falling. After doing all this, the adventurer stood up.
Standing at the observation deck with the best view, before observing the Elder's Mansion, she first cast her sights into the distance. The gray snowy mountains were blurred in the night, and only the peaks could be vaguely seen rising from the ground, with their tops submerged in the gloomy clouds.
In the dream, the scene of the divine birds killing each other on the snowy mountain tops is still vivid in my mind, which makes people shiver involuntarily.
Even before she came to Naipuru Island, Xiaoye had thought about the meaning of that weird dream countless times. After connecting everything together, she gradually came up with a terrible guess.
Maybe that was just a slight possibility - if she hadn't arrived at Xiangju Island at the right time and entered the Valley of Flames, she might have been able to stand on the coast opposite the island and watch the tragedy happening helplessly, without being able to tell anyone. Reach out.
Or maybe that's not a possibility.
The scorched earth-like world is not the "future", but the "past" that has already happened. If the world has been destroyed once, then...the death of the people of the flames, and the fight and sacrifice of the god Niwa and the frozen bird, could it be the result of no interference from "foreign objects", and the first step in destruction?
Only this time, what she saw was not the "past" at the current point in time, but the "future". That bad dream was too much like a warning - but the existence of a "warning" means that everything can still change.
I won't let that happen. thought the traveler from another world.
After taking a few seconds to collect her thoughts, she looked at the Elder's Mansion intently.
At the end of the alley, the Terashima siblings were waiting restlessly.
Long Xing opened his mouth and wanted to suggest, "Should we go out and see where the boss is?" - before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a loud explosion.
The unique sound of the shadow ball hitting the ground reached his ears. The young man was slightly startled, and he vaguely realized something. The next moment, the guard wandering at the alley followed the sound and left, and Longxing's dream demon suddenly jumped out of the trainer's arms and flew forward, as if hearing some invisible sound.
The siblings didn't have time to think carefully and ran after the dream monster according to the originally agreed action plan. After twisting and turning, they came to the main road, and the dream monster suddenly stopped again and drifted into the bushes on the side. The Terashima siblings followed suit. Just as they hid their clothes, they heard footsteps. A large number of guards who heard the explosion hurriedly ran past, and their boots were almost kicked under their noses. Go away.
Ghost-type Pokémon's senses are far sharper than humans. They can sense small fluctuations in mental power, and some can also detect the emotional fluctuations of their trainers. The three-person team took advantage of this characteristic of them to achieve long-distance communication - when Xiaoye ordered the dream monster to use the "spiritual wave" move, the little ghost who stayed with the siblings could almost immediately detect their good partners. of mental strength. And the secret code they agreed upon was also very simple.
Sending out a mental wave means "go forward according to the agreed route", and sending it out again means "stop moving forward and find cover". Standing on the observation deck, Xiaoye has the best view, which is enough to have a panoramic view of the movement trajectories of all guards, so that her teammates on the ground can "remotely control" them to avoid patrollers and travel safely. As for sending out two mental waves in a row——
Dragon Star's dream demon didn't bother to adjust its posture, bit Pichu's ear, and flew away with the electric mouse in its mouth. The two siblings looked dumbfounded, fearing that Pichu couldn't help but discharge the electricity on the spot and electrocute them too - fortunately, Pichu was used to the confusing behavior of ghost-type Pokémon, and he controlled himself maturely and calmly. Two seconds later, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot into the sky from the courtyard in front of the Elder's Mansion.
In the dark night, the electric light was as bright as a meteor falling to the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The Terashima siblings heard noisy shouts coming from the Elder's Mansion, and the next moment, the leader of the team appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the two of them, and rushed towards the Elder's Mansion.
Like ink dripping into clear water, the strict and flawless guard configuration in the Elder's Mansion was thrown into chaos. While the guards were rushing into the vestibule in confusion, Xiaoye carried two teammates over the wall and hurdles, and within a few seconds they were close to the target location - the second elder's bedroom was located in the southwest corner of the elder's mansion, with just the right amount of shadows and trees. Blocked, the people on the other three observation towers could not detect the presence of the intruder at all.
The adventurer did not choose the main entrance guarded by many guards, but went around to the backyard of the second elder's residence. When the siblings finally touched the ground, they saw that the boss was retracting his air gun, and the only guard in front of the backyard door had fallen to the ground.
They were only a corridor away from the house, and Lijiu had even seen the commotion outside causing the lights in the room to turn on, and a figure standing up, coughing and looking towards the window. And just when they were about to sneak in quietly, the guard who fell to the ground suddenly let out a deafening snore!
The siblings stood on end for a moment - there were two guards standing at the end of the corridor!
Seeing the suspicious questioning and footsteps coming together, the two children became so nervous that their whole bodies stiffened, and all the blood rushed into their brains. And the moment the courtyard door was pushed open, their boss moved.
The opening of the wooden door and the adventurer's takeoff happened almost at the same time. The moment the two guards stepped out of the backyard, the young man in white robes flew up like snowflakes, climbed over the low courtyard wall at the right time, and landed in the courtyard.
She knew that after realizing that her partner had been plotted, the guards would intensify their efforts to search the surrounding area. There was no hiding place in the backyard with only a corridor. Thinking of this, Xiaoye rushed forward without hesitation, pushed open the back door before the guard turned around to look back, and rushed straight into the second elder's bedroom!
At this moment, outside the room, angry guards sounded the alarm, and large groups of Himi tribesmen dressed in black searched everywhere, trying to find traces of the intruder.
In the room, the expressions on the faces of the intruders were almost frozen.
The young adventurers raised their heads stiffly, looking at the "person" in front of them who almost bumped into them.
What they saw through the window paper was a figure standing up tremblingly and coughing——
It was a huge ice puppet.
