Shade continued to walk forward. After the fourth turn, he should have returned to the corridor where the stairs connected to the ground were. But the fact was that the first house number Shade saw was still "Morgue No. 9", next to the corridor.
There are also no stairs to the ground level.
He stood there in a daze for a while, that is, he communicated with the witch cat telepathically, and then followed the usual approach when such strange things happened in the story, he dug out an empty bottle from his pocket and threw it on the wall.
side.
When he turned the corner again, the bottle had disappeared, but the house number on the side of the corridor was still "Morgue No. 9."
Shade did not stop this time, but continued to move forward, and had no intention of opening the doors of the surrounding rooms. In this way, after he turned the thirteenth time, although the house number on the right remained unchanged,
, but this time there were two more people in the corridor, and at the end of the corridor behind them, a road sign was erected in the middle of the road.
The two extra men are both men, and both are ring warlocks. One looks quite young, probably just an adult, and the other looks like a middle-aged man. They should both be in the middle ring, and the middle-aged man looks like a middle-aged man when he sees Xia Xia
After De appeared, he immediately asked doubtfully:
"Can you explain how you did it?"
"How did you do that?"
Xia De then asked, and the middle-aged man replied:
"The Keeper-level relic [Alley No. 13] can only be used in repetitive terrain. After use, a certain area will be turned into a cyclic space. Each time you re-enter the cyclic space created by the relic at the end of the cycle
, there is a 90% probability of encountering a supernatural event related to the site. If you encounter a supernatural phenomenon, you need to solve the event and go back. If there is a 10% chance that nothing happens, you need to continue moving forward.
Only by walking through thirteen repeated terrains can we get rid of the effect of the relic."
He took a deep breath:
"We have arranged the morgue in advance. You should trigger ghosts, ghosts and even more terrifying things. You will only see us after experiencing frequent battles. Thirteen times, a full thirteen times,
Can you explain how you managed to win a 10% chance of winning thirteen bets in a row?"
Shade looked at the street sign standing behind them. Not long ago, he was talking to the girls at home about the relics that expand the space. Unexpectedly, this relic appeared, but unfortunately the side effects of this relic were too great:
"That's it. Actually, I'm also a little curious. Just now I was wondering when the door next to me would suddenly open, or when the lights would suddenly go out and monsters would appear. It seems like I just have better luck."
Before he finished speaking, the two people standing side by side had already entered the "rapid spell" state. The relatively narrow corridor left no room for anyone to dodge, and the two people were sprinting in a straight line almost in the next second.
He had already arrived in front of Sha De.
In the accelerated state of time, of course their nervous reactions could keep up with their own movements. But they were surprised to find that the eyes of the unknown young man in front of them could completely follow their every move, and his eyes were always staring at them.
them.
In the "Rapid Charm" state, most thaumaturgy and incantation cannot be performed, which is the most important shortcoming of this thaumaturgy. But Shade only reacts faster on his own, so he who is nervous can do it in that second.
Nei struck forward:
"Moonlight Slash!"
The left and right ends of the slanting moonlight even directly touched the side walls of the corridor. Even in the "rapid spell" state, the speed could not keep up with the speed of light, but at least the two people running at full speed, one jumped up suddenly, and the other slid on his knees,
All of them successfully passed through the gaps between the moonlight and the ceiling, and between the moonlight and the floor.
But because of such exaggerated dodge movements, they lost their attention on Shade. Therefore, when the two people who landed and tried to stand up looked at Shade, the bottom of the long black staff had already hit the ground:
"Stability principle!"
Green waves swept along the ground, and then the two of them were surprised to find that Shade's movements suddenly accelerated. But soon they realized that it was not Shade who was accelerating, but that they had actually exited the "rapid spell" state.
Under the principle of stability, the instability was smoothed out most of the time, and Shade, who moved faster, did not rush directly towards the two of them, but raised his hand and performed another thaumaturgy:
"Confining Halo!"
The silver halo with the afterimage flew out, and the distance between the three of them was close enough. The two people from the [Tree Hole Association] didn't even have room to dodge. So the two haloes successfully landed on the tops of the two people's heads, but their appearance was similar to their age.
The young man who looked small but had a level of eight rings suddenly pulled his companion, and then the two disappeared out of thin air and appeared ten meters behind them.
The Imprisonment Halo chased away, but was shot down by the two prepared men.
"Space jump thaumaturgy?"
Shade raised his eyebrows in surprise, watching the two of them turn around and flee to the other end of the corridor. Behind them, two shields overlapped each other, and the defensive thaumaturgy used by the two worked together to great effect.
.
Shade did not catch up or try to break through their defenses, but left the corridor in the opposite direction with the [Staff of Yggdrasil].
As for the two people who were trying to escape, when they were near the end of the corridor, they saw a huge brown bear suddenly appear from the corner. The bear even had to bend down to avoid being hit on the head, but at least its claws were nimble enough.
They just flicked the street sign to change its direction, and the two people, whose expressions changed drastically, immediately disappeared into the corridor.
"how's it going?"
Shade, who walked around the corridor, appeared from the corner of the corridor behind the brown bear, and the bear turned into an owl again and flew on Shade's shoulder:
"They are trapped by the relic. According to my understanding of this secret-keeper-level relic, it will take them at least half an hour to get out."
In fact, the third time the corridor was repeated just now, the knowledgeable witch basically determined what relic they encountered. And taking advantage of the confrontation between Shade and the [Tree Hole Association], she circled counterclockwise.
Only then did he successfully use the other party's relics to trap the two people.
However, Shade and the Witch, who were worried, checked the area again and finally confirmed that there was no third person ambushing here. During this period, the phantoms of the two people trapped by the relics continued to appear in the corridor like ghosts.
Appears in cycles.
In this state, Shade and Miss Winslet could not interfere with them, and could only watch them fight with something that they could not see from the outside world.
The ring warlocks of the [Tree Hole Association] obviously did not have Xia De's luck, and there was a 10% chance that they never encountered them once. While the two of them were still fighting the anomalies that appeared in the corridor of the autopsy room in the relics, Xia De
De also checked the street sign.
The body of the secret keeper-level relic [Alley No. 13] is this somewhat rusty street sign. The street sign itself is square, and is connected to a metal pipe by welding on the back, allowing it to be inserted into the soil, but according to
The witch said that the metal pipe was just an ordinary item. In fact, the relic itself only contained the road sign itself.
It can work by standing upright or by fixing it on the wall, but every time it is fixed, it can only be effective on the first person to appear, and then it needs to be re-fixed before it can work again. As for its
The negative characteristics are the abnormal events and monsters generated by the relics for the scene. Very few of them can actively leave the scope of the relic after all the entrants die and become truly existing "relic derivatives".
This also leads to the fact that the [Alley No. 13] street sign is one of the relics that has the largest variety of relic derivatives. Miss Owl even said that this relic has generated more than one recorded angel-level relic:
"The whale in the clouds, the giant in the mountains at night, and the event relic 'falling into the deep sea'. Fortunately, generating such high-risk events requires an extremely strict site, but the morgue will not cause such big trouble.
"
The text on the road sign belongs to the Third Age, which also shows that the origin of this relic is quite ancient.
In order to prevent the relic from suddenly losing its effect, Shade did not touch it with his hands, but he could still see a series of denser and smaller letters below the letters "Alley No. 13":
【This is a warm home that people don’t want to leave.】
"So, is Professor Quinto's death related to the Tree Hole Association?"
Shade sighed and asked, and the owl spread its wings and flew:
"I'm going to take a look at the professor's body and try to channel it. You watch these two people here and be careful."
As she said that, she flew to Morgue No. 5, opened the door by herself and flew in. However, it didn't take long for her to come back with fluttering wings, and after landing on Shade's shoulder, she turned into a cat again.
, the tail even rubbed Shade's neck:
"They arrived early to dispose of Professor Quinto's body, but the channeling failed."
"Then just wait and see what they do."
Miss Danister, who was staying at the hotel, thought that the two people who went out on a rainy night would come back soon, but she and Miss Bell waited until ten o'clock in the evening, even when they wanted to let the witch followers downstairs look for someone.
The drowned owl grabbed the cat, which was also wet in the heavy rain, and flew out the window. The silver cat also grabbed a small metal street sign.
Miss Bell hurriedly opened the window, and the two cats landed on the window sill together, and then shook their bodies wildly in almost the same movement. Miss Bell went to get another towel, wiped the rain off the two cats, and then they changed again.
Come back.
The metal street sign was placed upside down on the window sill. Shade covered his forehead and sat down on the sofa looking a little tired. The red-haired girl poured him a cup of tea in person, with a very gentle tone:
"An emergency happened? I noticed that you brought back a relic."
