The loss rate is a bit shocking.
In silence, the last person in the team disappeared.
Facing this classic horror movie plot, Fu Qian sighed in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to speak out.
A professional team should allow a person who has made his due contribution to have a reasonable space to fish.
"Wait a moment."
Facts have proved that Ais is indeed a lover of team atmosphere. She was the first to notice the anomaly not long after continuing to travel.
"There's someone missing."
After everyone stopped in response, Aisi's voice was quite calm and she pointed at the end of the team and said coldly.
How can it be!
Charlotte, who was in the second-to-last position, turned around after hearing this, and used the lighting device in her hand to shine a circle around her, her face instantly darkened.
"So you don't feel anything?"
Although he had the same ugly expression, Scrooge did not want to let go of this exciting opportunity.
…
These words were quite destructive. Charlotte gritted her teeth and remained silent.
"It's not just Charlotte, it's actually the same for us."
Ace immediately stopped Scrooge's evil intentions.
"Everyone is not far away, but no one noticed any movement. Did your left hand notice anything?"
"The only thing I noticed was that there were no people."
Shake your head before paying and tell the truth.
"So the current situation is that in this passage with almost no forks, one of our people was knocked down without even struggling, and there was not even a body left?"
He seemed very satisfied with Charlotte's reaction. The next moment, Scrooge smiled very flatteringly and continued to analyze Ace's insights.
"If that's the case, it seems we won't be able to move forward until we figure out the cause."
This is not difficult to understand. If you can eliminate one of them silently, you cannot rule out the absence of another one.
"...Sage, do you see it?"
Aisi obviously understood this meaning, and after pondering for a while, she still chose to consult the sage old man for his opinion.
"The reason cannot be determined at present, but it may not be a sneak attack by the group of people from the Society."
The latter followed the good example and really squinted his eyes to look at everyone's faces, but the answers he gave were very vague.
"Isn't it those living corpses from Xue Xue?"
Scrooge and the others were stunned when they heard his words.
"Didn't you say that there won't be anything else that can move in here?"
"Don't worry, I'm still sure of this, but even the semi-sleeping Holy Grail can do many things besides infusing those living corpses with abilities, and as time goes by, it will do more and more.
"
When faced with questions, the sage explained patiently.
"Never forget that we are facing a being who can theoretically understand all mysteries."
"Then what do we do now?"
The smile on Scrooge's face had completely faded, and he frowned and looked to both sides.
"The situation seems to be a bit of a dilemma. It is dangerous to continue moving forward, but with every minute of delay, the target will become more and more difficult to deal with."
"rest assured."
The sage old man chuckled, but was not in a hurry and pointed in the direction he came from.
"Its difficulty is exactly why we need it, and we have enough knowledge to bring this learned treasure back under control before it completely awakens."
"There's still time, let's go back and see what happened."
Rather than being a team leader, the sage old man actually feels more like a cult leader.
After all the words were said, there were not many arguments given, but the full confidence in the point of view was quite contagious.
The slightly fluctuating military morale can be said to calm down instantly.
Perhaps because she was stimulated by Scrooge's words, Charlotte did not ask her brother to take the lead this time, but took the lead directly, which seemed a bit murderous.
…
Learned? It seems that I heard interesting vocabulary.
As for the sage old man's speech just now to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, Fu Qian said that he also benefited a lot.
First of all, the previous question "Where is this place?" seems to have the answer.
According to the sage, this place obviously belongs to the "society" he calls it. Those living corpses with uniform costumes are all members of the society.
Looking at the situation in front of me, it seems that something happened back then that trapped this group of people here, but there was no death in the normal sense, and even physical changes occurred.
In addition, the puzzle illusion at the beginning and the ability copies displayed by the living zombies later are indeed the effects of the "Holy Grail".
And "knowing everything" is a bit overbearing and sounds a bit like the authority of a god.
As the treasure of the society, the Holy Grail is sleeping in this ruins, but it is gradually awakening.
If it is the goal of my trip, then its full name seems to be the Blind Holy Grail?
By analogy, could the society be a "blind society"?
The living corpses I encountered just now don't look like blind people, but the ubiquitous eye patterns are quite fitting for the occasion.
And the last point, the sage old man used the term "re" brought under the control of the society.
In other words, these people are also members of the Society for the Blind. Are they here to dig up their ancestors' graves?
Judging from the style of repeatedly emphasizing that knowledge is power, it does not seem like a rhetoric to escape legal sanctions.
"etc."
Just as they were taking stock of the harvest before paying, Charlotte, who was walking at the front, suddenly made a voice and signaled everyone to stop.
And following his reminder, a figure flashed across the darkness that was hard to disperse not far away.
Although it was a glimpse, the enchanting figure and movements were obviously another member of the society.
Of course, it's a little bit different.
"...Am I dazzled?"
The next moment, Ais sighed with some doubts about life.
"That guy seems to be wearing our equipment on his legs."
…
Obviously, a simple sneak attack and murder by someone who slipped through the net would not scare this team.
But Qian was able to confirm that Aisi was right. The right leg of the living corpse was shining with golden light.
Not only does the shape and parts of the person who disappeared just now be exactly the same, but the clothes even fit her perfectly.
The victim has been eaten up, leaving only the indigestible golden holy clothing. The living corpse likes to wear it himself?
Or is it simpler, the victim was inspired by the society and chose to evolve into a living corpse form?
Faced with this slightly shocking development, Fu Qianchang thought about the reasons behind it.
"The Holy Grail can not only imitate abilities, but can even copy equipment?"
At this time, Brother Tuanpai, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but put forward an opinion.
It doesn't seem impossible.
Although Brother Tuanpai's words made everyone in Charlotte frown, Fu Qian did not deny it immediately.
"Just look at it and you'll find out."
In the end, Charlotte didn't say much and rushed forward. ()
