There were fewer and fewer monsters wandering around the hotel. Finally, an invisible ripple swept from the basement to the entire building, and then swept to the surroundings of the building against the forest floor that was red for some reason. Those who were killed by the living people
The monsters attracted by his soul and flesh finally stopped in confusion and continued to wander in the surrounding woods.
As long as there are not too many monsters around, the hotel itself can once again use the powerful effect of hiding itself. Without the constant flow of reinforcements, the remaining monsters hidden in the woods near the hotel will soon be cleared away.
Without Shade's "powerful space perception" ability, once lost in the fog, even if it is only a dozen steps away from the hotel, he may never come back. Therefore, only Shade went deep into the fog alone to eliminate those lingering in the shadows.
Among the monsters, only he could see clearly what those monsters wandering around the island were.
The dark night, thick fog and rain obscured most of the details. The things lurking and wandering between the grass blades and tree trunks did not have exactly the same appearance, but they did have similar details and the same composition.
A sense of weirdness and dislocation.
Most of the things that can change color depending on the environment have the characteristics of several different animals. These animal characteristics are arranged and combined in a way that is completely inconsistent with the characteristics of living organisms. Shade even saw countless numbers sprouting from the slender duck neck.
rat tail.
In addition to animal characteristics, fragmentation and the unique sulfur smell of demons, these things are also characteristics. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that these things are most likely from Laplace Klein Howard's hundreds of years of human refining experiments.
The creatures created that did not meet his requirements were now discarded on the island, and instead became the best barrier.
Zhizhizhi~
Hundreds of slender rat tails, like the thin threads spewed by spiders, swarmed towards Shade under the cover of the sound of rain. Shade raised his hand to hold a handful of rainwater, condensed the water into ice, and then threw it forward.
Amidst the explosion, another ray of moonlight shot out in a tilted direction.
Such a battle did not last long. After confirming that the nearby monsters were basically gone, he retreated to the hotel with the sorceresses. The girls rested separately, but Shade did not stay any longer:
"Ladies who went out with me just now, please take a rest first, while others are responsible for guarding. I want to go alone to see how far this area is from the shore."
Just now, when Shade went into the fog alone to clean up the monsters, he vaguely heard the sound of water lapping the shore in the rain. This seemed to mean that the hotel was not far from the shore. And if he could successfully find it, he could reach it.
The road to the shore will be very convenient to meet the arrival of the big witches.
As for the missing Megan, there is no need to worry too much yet. Since one of the thirteen keys that are closely related to the "Edwards Den Magic" is with Shade, the ceremony must not have started yet. Of course, he
Nor can we deliberately delay until reinforcements arrive.
Since the fortune teller can take away one of the two keys silently, he must have a way to take away this one, and his actions must be fast.
"I'll go with you. If we find a way, someone staying in the hotel will need to record it."
Tifa said, and then spoke behind her, and then another girl wearing a maid skirt handed over a lead box. In the box were some colored powders with traces of whispering elements:
"Relic derivatives can mark roads in dense fog, but they can only be used for short distances."
Shade really had no reason to refute the reasons she gave, and others didn't want Shade to go deep into the fog alone.
"Well, follow me closely. If you get lost even one step in this fog, you won't be able to come back in a short time."
He reached out and took Tifa's hand, and then felt that for some reason, the eyes of all the sorceresses present were focused on their hands.
"Xia De, be careful on the road."
Lesia and Dorothy, who knew that their strength was insufficient, held hands at the door and watched the two of them go away. Agelina stood behind them holding the cat, her silence making no one understand her mood.
Shade and Tifa held hands and walked away from the edge of the hotel that could be illuminated by the fire, and walked into the forest in the direction where Shade had just heard the faint sound of water. Shade, who was in the sixth ring, did not have the ability to avoid the rain, but
But Tifa of the Eight Rings did. She really followed Shade closely, and Shade could hear her breathing without even looking back.
"The last time we walked in a dangerous area like this was at the end of summer last year, in the dark realm."
The voice of the maid lady reached his ears. Shade nodded slightly, still looking forward, relying on vision, inspiration and strong spatial perception to find a way out and avoid enemies in the weird dense forest on a rainy night:
"At that time, the dark realm swallowed up the southern suburbs of Tobesk. I was anxious to find the soothsayer and ventured deep into the darkness. Instead, I came to the lady's manor first."
Recalling the past, Shade's depressed mood also improved a little. After that, Tifa stopped talking, as if she really just wanted to relax Shade.
The atmosphere of this island is very different from that of the real central island of Green Lake. When walking in the dark on a rainy night, even if you can take shelter from the rain, the slippery and sticky feeling in the air still feels like a dead person sticking out his tongue.
Licking the skin.
Shade knew that this description was very strange, but that was how he felt. The feeling of needing to bend down subconsciously and walk cautiously and breathlessly in the rain already showed how weird this place was.
Fortunately, Tifa was always behind him, and the unique and delicious scent of the maid's perfume was one of the few things that could make Shade happy on this rainy night.
His hearing was very good, and the sound of water just now was not an illusion. Soon, the sound of water became louder and louder. The two passed through the forest and saw a forest path that was very similar to the real island, but more eerie.
.Continue walking along the forest path, and the beach and pier appear on the edge of the island.
The dilapidated trestle was not the most terrifying scene in this dark rainy night. Outside the trestle, the turbid green lake water hit the shore one after another. There were no rocks on the normal surface of Green Lake, but now the surrounding
Along the island, various strange black reefs, like indescribable weird beings in ancient myths, are densely scattered everywhere on the visible water surface.
There are an extremely fine number of holes on the surface of the reef. As the rain and wind blow by, it emits a sharp whistle that makes people even more uneasy. Looking further away, the depths of the dark night, rain curtain and clouds are only as terrifying as the abyss.
Penetrating darkness.
The lake water continued to beat, and the sound of rain and whistles became clearer. When the wind blew over the skin, small particles appeared on the skin as the mood changed. At the same time, there were strange sounds and colorful scenes, even if
Xia De felt extremely timid:
"Damn it!"
He said a rare and uncivilized curse word and immediately averted his eyes. As for Tifa behind him, the maid lady, although her arms were shaking slightly, still maintained the dignity of the head maid:
"Is this the shore?"
She asked softly with her eyes closed.
"Yes, it corresponds to the dock where I visited the island many times. This place is just like the hell in the story, where evil people come after they die."
Shade also said softly, holding the [Night Watch] with one hand, and then used the "Moonlight Sword" to leave a luminous mark on the ground. The beach under his feet was red, and the weird color became more and more disturbing.
The scene on the shore became bizarre.
As for leaving traces, I hope it can guide the witch who may come here at some time.
The two did not waste time and immediately returned the same way. They still held hands, and Tifa did not forget to throw the colored powder along the way. The sprinkled powder could not be observed with the naked eye, but the special lenses in the hands of the witches could.
When they returned to the hotel in the forest clearing, the good news that it was not far from the shore also made the girls in the hotel very excited. Shade even relied on "powerful spatial perception" to quickly draw
A simple map including hotels, forest paths and shores.
According to the map, as long as they don't encounter any accidents in the fog, the great witches who land on the island can find this place within five minutes.
"Okay, let's arrange the plan. I will go deep into the island alone. Tifa and Hailey, I will leave this place to you. Miss Deckert, you know the space power best here. Please confirm whether you can find this hotel.
, and the passage between the hotel in Green Lake City. If what we encountered is truly a space duplication, then there should be a passage connecting two identical spaces."
The three sorceresses nodded together.
Shade then said to Dorothy and Lesia:
"I don't know what will happen in a while, but please never, never leave the hotel. You promised me that you would follow my arrangements."
They also nodded slightly. Shade touched little Mia in Agelina's arms, refused the umbrella brought by Tifa, picked up the [Night Watch] and prepared to leave.
But Tifa stopped Shade again and took out a triangular metal charm from her pocket:
"Don't forget this."
This is the "return charm" made by Miss Sylvia. Because the materials are difficult to find, making it requires a lot of time and energy, and the charm can only be effective at close range, so Shade remembers that there are not many finished products in total.
Witch apprentices like Tifa and Hailey each have a charm in their hands, and Shade also has one on his body. For Agelina's safety, Miss Carina even gave one to the little princess, and kept it in the hotel.
There are three spare ones, which means that there are a total of seven charms in this hotel at this moment.
