In the early morning of August 16th, Fengxue Villa.
Groups of men in black wandered silently throughout the villa, staring at the world shrouded in night.
However, the magician settlement located in the valley is vast and often has undulating ravines. No matter how many patrols there are, they cannot pay attention to every corner.
At this moment, at the corner of the cliff on the edge of the villa, a lone guard was leaning on the railing, scanning the backyard of the warehouse below. In the silence, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, as if something gently touched the back of his head.
The guard turned around warily, only to see an empty forest behind him. He circled around suspiciously and returned to his original post after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
After a while, the three people who were hiding in the cracks of the rocks and did not dare to let out their breath finally relaxed.
Xiaoye straightened her mask and looked at the Terashima siblings speechlessly.
——Is this what you mean by "I will give you 100% success without my intervention"?
Lijiu and Long Xing hugged the two little dream monsters who had failed in the battle, crying with aggrieved faces.
——Isn't this because I don't have time to rest tonight, and I'm worried that your injury will get worse, boss...
Facing the wet eyes of the siblings, Beidou turned his attention silently and decided not to get serious with these two terrible teammates for the time being.
They originally planned to find an opportunity to knock down the guards with a tranquilizer gun to prevent attracting more people. Xiaoye originally planned to do it by herself, but after seeing the sister and brother swearing to guarantee the victory, they handed over the task to their dream monster. Unexpectedly, although the two little guys had good positioning skills, their shooting accuracy was lacking. They just shot It was hit in a position completely invisible to the guard himself.
In order to prevent contestants from injuring themselves due to improper use, the so-called "narcotic gun" is only filled with plastic bullet balls, with special paint attached as a mark, so that NPC actors can perform a coma on the spot after seeing the traces - a pity , no matter how dedicated the actor is, he cannot see the back of his head.
The guards who seemed to be aware of this increased their vigilance and stopped standing there. It would not be so easy to snipe secretly again. Seeing the siblings looking over pitifully, Xiaoye gave them a look that said, "It's not a big problem, don't panic."
She took out a pen and paper, wrote two lines in a flash, handed the note to the dream demon, and whispered a few instructions. After receiving the instruction, the little dream demon nodded, holding the note in his mouth and rushing towards the guard with great energy.
Unlike the overly large tranquilizer gun, the small note is difficult to detect in the dark. The dream demon carefully disappeared and flew close to the ground. After moving to the guard's feet, he stood up with a cry and almost slapped the note on his face.
The guard's expression suddenly changed. He was about to blow the police whistle when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the content on the note - the camera drone stepped forward in time and gave a high-definition close-up of the writing on the note.
[You have been shot with a tranquilizer gun, please look at the paint on your hair. As a rule, you should be asleep for at least three hours from now. ]
"..."
The actor who played the guard subconsciously touched the back of his head. He looked at the bright green paint on his fingertips, and then at the note with completely ridiculous contents, and his expression was distorted for a moment.
Amidst the wild laughter of the barrage in the live broadcast room, the guard who was stuck in the machine finally closed his eyes and fell into the snow out of sight and out of mind.
Xiaoye calmly walked out of the hiding place and made a "do it" gesture to the stunned Terajima siblings.
The three of them dragged the guard to a corner sheltered from the wind and quickly took off his black night watchman coat. Their hands and feet were quick and ruthless, and they were not afraid of the drones that were shooting at them. They behaved as arrogantly as hooligans - of course, considering that it was too inhumane to leave the actors pretending to sleep in the snow and blow the cold wind, they decided in advance Several sets of old cotton coats were prepared to wrap the guards who had lost their coats tightly, so there was no risk of cold or cold.
After doing all this, they quietly retreated and began to look for the next target. Guided by the power of Beidou's waveguide, finding enemies and hiding became easy. An hour later, the adventurer took off his conspicuous white clothes and put on the dark robes unique to the night patrol.
Xiaoye adjusted the hood that was a little too big, with a thoughtful look on her face.
When "borrowing" the guard's coat, she carefully searched everyone's clothing - except for some fragmentary items, she found nothing similar to identity documents.
A certain guess in my mind was quietly settled. Beidou turned around and looked at the siblings who were also disguised.
"Stop talking and follow me."
Lijiu and Long Xing followed the leader's footsteps and became more and more frightened - they did not use their clothes to walk around to find the defensive weaknesses of the Elder's Mansion as originally planned, but swaggered straight towards the main entrance!
Thanks to the patrol uniforms and the Southern people's strong instinct to pretend to be calm, no one raised any doubts about them until they stood at the main entrance of the Elder's Mansion. Beidou, who was walking at the front, was about to enter the courtyard when he was intercepted by the halberd in the hand of the guard in front of the door.
"You are not allowed to enter the elder's residence without permission." One of the guards of the elder's mansion said coldly.
Beidou's performance was even cooler. He took out the token he had found on the guard at the observation tower and threw it directly at the opponent without saying a word.
The guards took the token and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"What's going on?" asked the guard who spoke before. Perhaps after confirming that the token for the guards of the Elder's Mansion was not a forgery, his tone softened slightly.
"An alien monster has sneaked into the Elder's Mansion, and we are secretly investigating on the orders of the third elder."
Beidou cherishes words like gold and seems to not want to reveal a single unnecessary word.
The guards looked at each other, exchanging silent glances. After a while, the leader took back the halberd and handed the token back to the visitor, "Go in."
The fake night watchman took the token and walked into the Elder's Mansion. Before taking two steps, the guard in front of the door suddenly said, "Wait a minute. What is the password for today?"
As soon as these words came out, Terashima sister and brother suddenly felt chills all over their bodies, and their legs and feet seemed to be frozen and uncontrollable. Even those few seconds of silence were stretched infinitely, making it almost difficult to breathe.
Beidou stopped and glanced at the guard who asked the question.
"It wasn't our turn to be on duty today, how did I know?" the fake night watchman said impatiently.
Lijiu and Long Xing were covered in chills. They had even planned their escape routes - but they saw that the guard's expressions softened.
"Sorry, an adventurer stole our password from somewhere yesterday and almost managed to sneak into the Elder's Mansion, so we have to be more vigilant." The guard said apologetically, "You three, please come in."
The fake night watchman nodded, strode into the courtyard with his two men, and quickly disappeared around the corner.
When the three of them turned into an inconspicuous alley, the blank barrage in the live broadcast room finally began to appear again. The siblings also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but complain, "Oh my god, I thought..."
"Shhh."
Beidou lowered his voice, "Don't relax, someone is watching us."
Seeing the boss's hand hidden under the black robe pointing upward, Lijiu and Long Xing immediately became nervous - they almost forgot that there was someone on the observation deck watching the Elder's Mansion all night long!
Fortunately, the siblings had no shortage of acting talent. They followed Beidou to the corner of the Elder's Mansion and created a ghost-catching drama near the warehouse - when the howling Ghost Stone cooperated and was "caught", it was a vivid interpretation. After being "scared to death", the gaze from above his head finally moved away.
"What? You do have accomplices, and if you tell them their locations, you will be spared!"
"Ooooooooooooooo!!"
The Terashima siblings and Ghost Stone were still singing and acting in harmony when they saw the leader waving.
"Let's go find its accomplices. I know the location."
The clever young people from the southern country rolled their eyes and immediately understood the meaning of the boss's words.
Without the prying eyes from the observation deck, they could move almost freely in the Elder's Mansion wearing night watchman uniforms. Under the leadership of Xiao Ye, the three of them moved forward cautiously in the shadows and blind spots of the building, gradually approaching the residence of the third elder.
====================
The candlelight in the study room of the third elder's house flickered, and blurry figures were reflected in the window.
Everyone in Fengxue Villa knows that since the tragedy of the monster attack, the first elder has gone insane, the second elder is bedridden, and all the work of the Villa has fallen on the third elder Morton. Therefore, staying up all night is a very natural thing for him - although the conversation taking place in the study at this moment does not conform to the tribe's understanding of this conscientious elder.
"——Also, a report on adventurer Hidechi Ikawa's team."
The guard in black robes knelt on one knee in front of the third elder, lowering his head respectfully.
"They set off for Syracuse before dark last night. I have confirmed their action plan, and with Lord Clive accompanying them, I believe they will receive good news tomorrow morning."
The third elder nodded slightly. He was smiling, and his eyes were astonishingly bright in the dim room, as if something crazy could no longer be suppressed and was about to break free from his body.
"Very good." Morton said, "I..."
As soon as he spoke, Mi Chuanwa, who was sleeping at his feet, suddenly opened her eyes.
The little Pokémon stood up and looked out the window with hazy blue eyes, seeming to notice something.
The third elder frowned, "Warren, what happened outside?"
The guard named Warren lowered his body lower and said, "Sir Morton, the Elder's Mansion is very quiet today and nothing happened."
He paused, seeming to sense that the third elder was not satisfied with his answer, and quickly added: "In addition, the investigation team you sent has found traces of foreign monsters in the warehouse in the northwest corner. I think they will be able to find traces of them soon." They were all driven away.”
When the third elder heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.
"I've never sent out an investigation team."
Warren raised his head in shock, "You mean..."
"Where did they go?" The third elder interrupted the guard's useless sigh. Seeing his subordinates' expressions gradually turning frightened, Morton understood everything without saying anything.
"Trash!"
He cursed bitterly, opened the door and rushed to the inconspicuous servant's room located in the corner of his house. The ice-walking doll appeared silently behind him, with ice mist surging in its strange yellow eyes. Even its dancing posture seemed to have murderous intent; as its cane waved in the air, more and more people appeared. The beast's eyes emerged from the darkness and followed their footsteps.
The door to the servant's room was kicked open by Morton. The crystal-clear cane of the Warcraft was a little bit in the void, and the heavy shelves floated slowly, revealing the secret door integrated with the wall behind it - and the traces of it having been opened by violence.
When Third Elder Morton and his army of Warcraft broke into the underground darkroom along the stairs, it was already too late.
The moment the magic beast's ice spikes blasted open the door, a strong wind blew. Countless pieces of paper and books were dancing in the small room, and Morton felt suffocating heartache for a moment.
He angrily ordered the ice-walking puppet to kill the intruder at all costs, but before he finished speaking, the fire started.
It was an overly hot and dazzling flame that did not belong to the cold-toned snow-capped mountains. It lingered and exploded in the narrow space, almost instantly flooding the entire field of vision.
The ice monsters are naturally afraid of flames and make noisy whines in the hot air. And Morton could only vaguely see three vague figures turning around in the firelight and disappearing at the end of the road.
After a moment, the guards guarding the Elder's Mansion raised their heads in shock.
——They saw tongues of fire wrapped in thick black smoke, completely engulfing the third elder's residence.
When the adventurer trio rode away in the light of the fire, the entire live broadcast room was filled with 666.
【Absolutely awesome brothers】
[Let’s call this wave the ultimate counterattack]
[Beidou’s waveguide power is a bug. I just heard the brother and sister bragging about it and found out that he discovered the darkroom that night when he went to see the second elder’s room]
[Asaki and her team also worked hard to solve puzzles and find clues to pass the level with violence, which is the most deadly]
[But to be honest, sneaking into the Elder's Mansion is difficult enough. It really all depends on quick reaction and strong mental quality...]
[When I saw the third elder discovering them, I thought I was about to overturn, but it turns out that Brother Beidou is indeed your Brother Beidou.jpg]
[I'm a little worried, maybe some staff members will be burned...]
[Don’t worry, hhhh, if you look closely, the wooden house won’t burn at all. What’s on fire is the wallpaper stuck outside.]
[Anyone who has read the previous issues will know that wallpaper that is flammable and smoke-producing, hollow building blocks that collapse when shaken, and old elevators that can run with the power of electricity are all old tricks in the snowstorm war hahh]
[Although the people in Fengxue Mountain are not very good in battle (excluding the monster Karl here), they are the strongest in overall work. It is impossible to overturn in the script, laugh]
[Worrying about the drama queen overturning the situation is better than worrying about Brother Beidou and the others being beaten down... Okay, just pretend I didn't say it]
Seeing Charizard and Dabi Bird flying aerobically to shake off the attacks from the ground, and then quickly evacuate under the cover of Ghost Stone, rising into the clouds and disappearing, the only trace of worry was left behind by the audience, live broadcast The room was filled with happy air again.
[But I still want to say that you are a step too late]
[Beidou old iron, wake up, stop playing, your home has been stolen hhhhh]
Between the dark clouds, the flame dragon and the bird were flying smoothly side by side.
The cold wind that hit their faces made the Terashima siblings shiver. However, they were all so excited at the moment that they didn't care about the heat or cold at all, and they all stretched their necks to look at the pile of brown paper rolls in the boss's arms.
"This night is so exciting! We are the ones who seek wealth and wealth in danger!"
"We will definitely win this time. So many experimental records are all in the third elder's handwriting. He has no excuse at all!"
Beidou saw Lijiu and Ryusei dancing on the bird's back again, and quickly threw two scrolls of paper for them to sit down and read, finally saving the poor Dabi Bird from crashing.
"Let's chat for a while. Let's go back to Snow City as soon as possible." The team leader said, "We still need to have a good talk with Lord Luo Shan about tomorrow's battle."
"Got the order!"
The two Pokémon flapped their wings in the clouds and accelerated, flying in the direction of Snow City - but as soon as they approached the mountains, the people on their backs noticed something was wrong.
"Boss, look!" Long Xing pointed downwards and turned around in panic, "Is there smoke coming out of Snow City?"
When the three of them landed in the middle of the snow city, even though they knew everything was an illusion, they were still horrified by the tragedy in front of them.
Looking around, there are broken walls and scorched marks everywhere, as if a battle had just occurred. The young children were crying, and the frightened monsters were running around. Unknown how many people fell on the roadside with scars, and the busy doctors only had time to bandage their wounds hastily - even the infirmary was bombed into ruins.
The Terashima siblings were stunned by this horrific scene and couldn't recover for a while. Until she saw a familiar person running past with a medical kit in her arms, Lijiu's eyes lit up and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other person's wrist.
"Asaki!" she asked impatiently, "What exactly happened here?"
The adventurer girl lowered her head in frustration. Her white clothes were covered in dust and stains, and she looked as miserable as the wounded who fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, Lijiu, we lost the fight."
The adventurer named Asaki whispered.
"That guy Ikawa Hidechi - he brought people to attack Snow City and took away the red crystal."

[Snowstorm Battle] Overview of the main plot and prediction of the ending
[Owner] Charlotte, the strongest champion
…
The above is a detailed review of the progress of the previous six days of competition. Now that there is only one day left, the context of this story has finally emerged.
In the distant past, the divine bird symbolizing ice and snow protected the Himi family and coexisted with humans. Until a few decades ago, the divine bird disappeared for unknown reasons, and people living in the snow-capped mountains could only depend on the ice monster for survival. Some people advocate continuing to rely on the power of Warcraft, while others believe that honing your own magic is the safest option.
About three years ago, Morton, the third elder of the Himi family, discovered a magic book passed down from ancient times. He initially studied ice puppet magic just to better protect the villa, but he gradually became obsessed with it in the process, his mind was also affected by dangerous magic, and his temperament began to change drastically. In order to complete the experiment, he needed a lot of magic - so he came up with a vicious plan.
From then on, the third elder began to deliberately intensify the conflict between the two factions in the clan, and led wild monsters to attack the villa that night a year ago. In this man-made disaster, he performed reliably in front of his tribe to gain prestige, and secretly harmed two other elders, finally becoming the backbone of the entire villa. The tribesmen who believed deeply in him wore the jade bracelets he gave them, and they became endless suppliers of magic power from then on.
But the third elder still felt dissatisfied. He wanted to climb to the top of the mountain and go to the mysterious deep lake where the divine bird lived in the old days - according to ancient records, that was the most suitable place to create a perfect ice doll. But the top of the Snowy Mountain is surrounded by layers of fog. If you want to dispel the fog and reach the top of the mountain, you must have the red crystal left by the divine bird. Therefore, he summoned adventurers and wanted to use their power to seize the red crystal and complete the final experiment.
At the same time, there are also a small number of people who have already noticed the abnormality of the third elder. They were wary of the Third Elder, so they were able to successfully escape on the night of the tragedy and took the red crystal to the other side of the Snowy Mountain. They knew that sooner or later the three elders would take away the magic power and even the lives of all the tribesmen, so they started to make arrangements early - building the snow city in a hard-to-find place to protect the key red crystals; sending Jean and Carl back to Snow Wind Villa acts as an internal response, and Carl kills the ice puppets in the old village at night to slow down the speed at which the magic power of the tribe is extracted; organizes the young people in Snow City to train day and night to enhance their combat effectiveness; in order to prevent their traces from being exposed, they dress up as "snowman monsters" "The appearance scares off the tribesmen and prevents them from straying into the old village area.
In addition, when they heard that the third elder was going to summon adventurers to find the red crystal and annihilate the snowman, they rushed to build a wooden house in the Warcraft Forest to avoid the surveillance of the third elder's warcraft and secretly contact the adventurers who came to the forest. and persuade them to join our side. In the end, they entrusted a trustworthy adventurer to join the battle, stop the third elder's experiment, and save the lives of the tribesmen.
Generally speaking, the main line of the story is the competition between the Villa camp headed by the third elder and the Snow City camp headed by Luo Shan. Participants can choose the camp according to their own preferences. The core players of the two sides, the Ikawa Hidechi team and the Beidou team, performed basically the same in this competition. They have all gained a high reputation in their camp and the trust of the leader, and tonight they each captured the enemy's key props [Experiment Record] and [Red Crystal]. The current battle situation is extremely uncertain, and who will win or lose depends on tomorrow's decisive battle.
Although I personally hope that the villain Morton will die soon (laughs) emotionally, I am still more optimistic about the Villa camp intellectually. There is no other reason. The design of the script will make the original combat power of both sides basically equal, and the victory or defeat will be mainly dominated by the contestants. The task of the Villa camp is relatively simple, and it only needs to protect the experiment from being affected. In comparison, the main mission of the Xuecheng camp is to "make the tribe realize the true face of the third elder" - this kind of topic that touches people's hearts is often the most difficult. In addition, Ikawa Hidechi's team has the advantage in terms of numbers and overall strength is slightly stronger than the Beidou team. In addition, Beidou is injured, and it is still unknown how much strength he will be able to display tomorrow. (Although I didn’t seem to be affected by tonight’s live broadcast...? I really don’t understand you southerners.jpg)
Today’s analysis is over, let’s wait for tomorrow’s exciting game.
Oh yes, there is one more thing I must say.
——Next time something like this happens, like Beidou opening a live broadcast room after disappearing for a day, please give me a shout! ! (Breaking sound)
====================
small theater:
The actor who plays the guard is a Himi tribesman who is naturally not afraid of the cold and wears only single clothes even in the snow-capped mountains: Wasn’t it because his reaction was a little slow when he was shot by the tranquilizer gun? As for being so vindictive? He actually abused me with cotton-padded clothes. He definitely wanted to cause me heat stroke! (sad and angry)
