Chapter 681 Curtain Call (2)
In a new section of pipeline.
The three figures were still moving forward. Duke's previous reminder only made them secretly raise their vigilance and prepare to fight at any time, and it did not cause them to retreat.
After all, it was so hard to make a major discovery, how could it be possible to retreat.
Regardless of whether the black hands behind the scenes really have the ability to manipulate fate, for the three of them, even if they die, they will die in this ghostly place!
Ever since, with this belief, the group even accelerated their speed.
corner--
The dense crawling sounds made people think of something bad, but a smile appeared on Lu Li's face.
Almost at the same time, the holy flame bloomed like a flower, bringing instant light to the dark pipeline.
The source of the mystery is completely exposed.
rat man?
Forgive Lu Li for his ignorance, he felt that the thing standing in front of him was like a mouse, his face was long and thin, his eyes were like red lights at night, and his hair was covered with all kinds of black filth. The original color cannot be seen.
In addition, the reason for adding the suffix "person" after the name is because this group of creatures can walk upright.
At this moment, the pale orange-red flames of the Holy Flame stuck to their bodies like tarsal maggots. Although many of them were the size of palms, and some were only as big as fingernails, the degree of damage they caused was quite small. It's almost the same, just more and less.
And the Rat Man kept flapping his forelimbs, trying to extinguish the flames, but it was undoubtedly useless.
As time passed, after about five seconds, all these ugly creatures of unknown origin disappeared, leaving only a little bit of black powder.
Frankly speaking, this scene was not what Lu Li expected. He thought there would be a big battle, but the reality was so paradoxical.
It's like a person gearing up for a big fight, but finds that the opponent is weak, and he is so frightened that he loses the ability to fight without even doing it himself.
Of course, the rats blocking the way were not simply incapacitated, but all dead.
Because of this, Lu Li was puzzled.
If the fog in this world is going through the test of adventure level, then the reverse world is hell level, and the difficulty of the current underground passage area should be even more exaggerated.
But so far, apart from a small pile of baby corpses, there is actually no challenge at all.
"Perhaps for consumption?"
Lu Li whispered.
After combining the reminder given by Duke just now, he thought of this.
Holy art is not a free cabbage. I once felt that I could release it easily, because I didn't have the opportunity to use it many times to test the limit.
In fact, low-level holy arts can indeed be released continuously, and there is almost no loss in itself, but high-level holy arts are different. You may not feel any pressure when you release one, and you will take a break in the middle before using the next one.
However, if it is released in a large amount in a short period of time, the head will gradually become dull, which will affect one's own combat effectiveness.
This is a pattern discovered during the previous battle against giant monsters. Lu Li guessed that there might be some existence that peeped at that battle and knew that he had mastered many high-level holy arts that could play a key role. Therefore, he wanted to pass this way to consume.
"Maybe."
After listening to the analysis, Duke replied ambiguously. After all, he was not behind the scenes, so how could he know the other party's true intentions.
"In any case, we will still hit each other in the end, and everything will come to light by then."
Pan Ming didn't care why he bumped into such a weak creature. Anyway, he just moved forward, solved all the troubles along the way, and finally saw the mastermind behind the scenes.
In any case, the joint action of the three excellent students may not even be able to kill some miscellaneous fish!
Lu Li was positive about this.
While keeping the original formation unchanged, the three of them sped up their speed again. This time, instead of walking on the ground step by step, they sprinted at almost full speed.
Moving at a slow speed, the concept of time will become extremely blurred, but sprinting is different.
Forty seconds or so.
They walked at least twice as far as before, and finally, there was another movement.
This time, it was no longer a rustling sound, let alone a meaningless howl of a beast, but a language, a rhythmic language.
Although Lu Li couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent him from understanding the weirdness:
"Fhtagn! Ebumna Fhtagn! Hafh'drn wgah'n n'gha n'ghft!"
"Fhtagn! Ebumna Fhtagn! Hafh'drn wgah'n n'gha n'ghft!"
The voice is high pitched.
Even though Lu Li had never seen an Anglican Church choir praying, he could be sure that no fanatical believer would speak in this way.
His eyes turned to Pan Ming and Duke.
Because, the two of them more or less know some mystical knowledge.
Unfortunately, they all shook their heads.
"It should be the believers of the evil gods who are trying to communicate with unknown beings." Duke combined his previous experience in film and television dramas, and said in a deep voice: "The ceremony cannot continue, otherwise, something might come."
Charging with a fearless spirit and solving all kinds of troubles encountered along the way does not mean indulging, indulging unknown enemies to call for stronger existences to kill them.
No one is so stupid, so arrogant.
In fact, although Lu Li didn't say it, everyone actually had a common thought, which was deeply pressed in their hearts:
Back to the classroom alive.
That is, after saving this world full of darkness, take a rest on the spot and wait for the end of the exam calmly.
In this way, everyone is happy.
In fact, Lu Li's intuition was very accurate. In the darkness, the words repeated over and over again were indeed singing and calling——
He waits! He waits in the deep cave! The priest who controls death in the dark!
However, people who can understand this sentence are rare in the world. The professors of the University of Michigan may be able to, but they are far away on the other side of the ocean and are unable to provide any help. Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson have been separated from Lu Li and his party for a long time, and have not shown up yet.
"Just kill it, don't delay."
After whispering, Lu Li immediately drew his sword, crossed the corner, and rushed forward, while Pan Ming joined forces with Duke, and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
"I, Nyarlathotep! I! I!"
【Long live! Nyarlathotep! Long live! Long live! 】
Fanatical voices are superimposed.
I saw a group of humanoid creatures in black robes facing away from Lu Li. At this moment, they (they) were raising their hands, calling and shouting loudly.
overhead.
Little bits and pieces.
Lu Li, who was originally full of murderous aura, paused for a moment. He realized that the area in front of him was not dominated by darkness, but was exposed in space!
In the last world, when Lu Li was sailing in deep space, he liked to open the protective measures, holding a glass of wine, admiring the starry sky view from the oversized porthole.
Therefore, he will not admit his mistake.
what's the situation?
Not only Lu Li, but also Pan Ming and Duke, who followed closely behind, lost their minds for a short time, because, once experienced, no one will forget the scene of fighting Zerg in the starry sky.
Why is there such a scene?
What is the relationship between the evil god and the starry sky?
All sorts of doubts surfaced in his mind, but they were quickly suppressed. With a breath, Lu Li regained his killing intent. Since he couldn't understand what these mysterious guys were talking about, he simply killed them all.
I hope it's not too late...
The world seemed to be paused. This was extremely fast. One second, maybe even one blink of an eye, took more than that long, but it was enough for Lu Li to swing at least eight knives.
Swing the knife——slash——fold——
The whole process was like flowing water, so fast that there was no afterimage left, but every drop of dark green blood oozed out afterwards was proof.
However, Lu Li still didn't stop walking. He glanced at the fronts of the corpses on the ground without sadness or joy. They were disgusting faces. The faces were not completely boned, and there were still some flesh hanging on them, which made people instinctively disgusted. .
After seeing this, the killing continued.
clang!
The sound of metal symphony resounded through the mysterious starry sky.
From appearance to killing, it took Lu Li and the others three or four seconds. Finally, some undead believers reacted. One of them turned around and stabbed precisely at Lu Li's position.
In order to counter the sword of Sadhu, which is coated with a divine substance, the devotee has sharpened his nails black, giving it the appearance of carbon steel.
That's why there is the sound of metal colliding.
Of course, that's all.
In addition to the most superficial divine substance, in order to bring Sadhu's sword back to life, the dwarf master also used a large amount of solid materials, whose hardness is comparable to holy materials.
The finger bones of the undead believer turned into cracks in a spider web, spreading to the entire arm at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although they don't know what this weak existence relies on, and they can clearly see Lu Li's attack path, but the difference in combat power between the two is not so easy to make up.
Ever since, the massacre continued.
Due to the extremely high efficiency of Pan Ming and Duke teaming up, this battle has shown a one-sided situation.
There were about a hundred or so undead believers surrounding the microcosmic space. After about four or five breaths, they all fell to the ground and ended their alternative lives.
Nearly dozens of corpses are still intact, because the sword of Sadhu is not a heavy hammer, and it can easily end this evil creature by using the attributes of breaking seals and killing gods.
"This is..." Duke's lips trembled slightly.
At this moment, he didn't feel the pleasure of slaughtering chickens at all. On the contrary, there was an expression of almost fear flowing in his eyes.
Lu Li and Pan Ming frowned subconsciously, with extremely complicated expressions.
After cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers, the three of them saw clearly what they were praying around before.
a well.
There is a well deep in the starry sky? !
But this is not the most paradoxical thing.
Under the mouth of the well is a stone pillar. The well is actually not deep, about three meters, and the stone pillar is not high, almost flush with the mouth of the well.
But the things hanging on the stone pillars make the corners of the eyes twitch. There is a female corpse that was hung upside down, and its throat was cut and bloodletted.
It is almost conceivable that she should have been desperate at the time, convulsing and wriggling her body like a fish, trying to make a final resistance.
As for her identity——
Yang Yuanyuan.
The girl who had joined the clique.
Between choosing to investigate the Tully Street fire and investigating the assassination of Queen Victoria, she chose the former, so she began to act alone.
In the end it ended up like this.
In fact, when the outside world discovered the diary left by Yang Yuanyuan, Lu Li and the others guessed that there was a high probability that she would die unfortunately, but they did not expect such a way of death——
Become a sacrifice to the evil gods by undead believers.
"The last time I saw her was also in the well."
Lu Li sighed, "The way to die is not so miserable."
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, in the well in front of Jianzhang Palace, a court lady soaked in the water with Chuan Guo Yuxi, emitting five colors of light.
This scene came to Pan Ming's mind, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.
Could it be that this girl is destined for Jing?
The two people who joined hands to participate in the palace break-in incident fell silent, but Duke didn't know this. At this moment, he was staring at the corpse.
Death during the exam does not mean real death, it just means that this stage is over.
Therefore, after the initial shock, everyone felt that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, even though her death was extremely miserable.
"I, Nyarlathotep! I! I!"
Looking at a piece of text engraved on the mouth of the well, Duke's lips moved slightly. Out of fear and taboo, he still didn't read it out.
And Lu Li followed his gaze and noticed these mysterious runes. Since there were physical records, he no longer had to imagine based on the strange syllables uttered by the undead believers, so he also started to study them.
Not even a clue.
【Nyarlathotep uln shugg. Ch'nglui shogg. Sll'ha orr'ee ah fhayak. Dlloi hafh'drn mnahn'. y'hah...I, Nyarlathotep! I! I...】
Right now, the importance of knowledge is plain to see.
The three present could only stare blankly at these runes that obviously had research value.
Of course, knowledge accumulation is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even if the players' brains have been developed to an unbelievable level and they can achieve a photographic memory, it still takes a lot of time to accumulate.
Frankly speaking, Lu Li once underestimated some courses due to personal reasons, and suffered a lot because of this, but in the past few months of enrolling, he still accumulated a lot of knowledge, which is one of the few in the whole grade.
"Do you want to help contain the corpse? It's not the same thing if you hang it all the time."
After struggling for a while, Duke gave up on the research. After all, he had no clue at all, and he couldn't detect the clue even after looking at it.
As for completely opening up their own perceptions and trying to resonate with this text, the three of them didn't even think about it.
He had to think about it so hard that he had such a crazy idea, maybe he resonated with some evil god and died suddenly on the spot.
"Need not."
Lu Li's tone was blunt.
The sudden change made Duke realize something, he lowered his head and continued to look down the well.
Yang Yuanyuan's cold, pathetic body had changed, and no one thought it would be for the better.
Especially recalling the scene where the undead believers were still praying loudly before dying, all three of them realized the seriousness of the problem:
Come one step later, the communication is successful!
Almost at the same time, Yang Yuanyuan, who was hanging upside down on the stone pillar, began to twitch up and down. The movement seemed slight, but it was very clear in Lu Li's eyes.
What does the evil god want to do?
How can we stop the situation from getting worse?
This time, the answer was very clear.
have no idea.
And the starry sky above the heads of the three people instead of the wall bricks is constantly changing, in line with a vocabulary from the ancient East:
The stars move.
Duke looked at the starry sky silently, trying to find some rules from the star trails.
