As a high-ranking extraordinary person, the Night Keeper of the City of Magic Sticks, Winona has always believed that she is well-informed.
However, not only did she suffer a series of setbacks in her dealings with this mysterious man named Grimshaw today, but the situation described by her friend at this moment also made her feel deeply ignorant again.
She rushed there with what she thought was the highest efficiency. After being surprised by her friend's strange behavior, she ran all the way. Her body and mind were focused on confronting the invisible Void. Although the pile of boxes made her feel strange, she had not thought about it before.
too much.
And if it was really the situation described by her friend... Winona also changed her peripheral vision for a moment, feeling secretly frightened.
This kind of behavior, which is not like a normal person in any way, undoubtedly greatly increases the probability that Rick has extraordinary abnormalities.
Now the question is, what is the purpose of this guy appearing here?
It didn't seem to be purely malicious, but when he was discovered, he attacked the night bearer without any scruples...
This kind of behavior can only be described as crazy.
"What else did that guy say?"
"Well... just before he disappeared, he mentioned that the content of the exchange would not need to be kept secret when someone comes later... He seemed to know that you would come?"
Claire naturally thought hard about her friend's question, and quickly remembered a certain explanation she had made before that was deeply weird.
He is indeed crazy and arrogant...
And what she said made Winona speechless for a while.
So outrageous!
Even if we take a step back, there is really a serious problem with Li Ke, and even the purpose of this guy's actions is for so-called "justice."
But after some operations, these special instructions were a naked mockery of the Nightkeeper's incompetence.
…
"Don't worry, considering the current situation, I will apply to arrange for someone to be here to protect you."
In any case, Winona has no interest in sharing this kind of analysis that gives others prestige.
After thinking for a while, she directly comforted her friend, saying that she didn't need to worry, as the Night Executioner system had already started operating in response to this matter.
It can be seen that this powerful organization still brings a clear sense of security, and Claire's already slightly peaceful face suddenly became calmer.
"So what does that guy want to do?"
…
This question was indeed difficult to answer, and Winona was silent for a while.
However, seeing that her friend still had a sad expression, she still grabbed his hand.
"Don't think too much. It's not your fault. That meeting was obviously a deliberate design."
"...Also, it may not be possible to determine what the lunatic wants to do at the moment, but what I can be sure of is that he has to pay the price for what he has done."
Although she tried her best to suppress it, Winona still gritted her teeth when she said the last sentence.
No one who hears it will doubt its determination.
Including pre-payment.
…
I pay attention to it, but not enough.
In the darkness, Fu Qian listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him, thinking for a moment.
Of course he didn't leave. Although this trip was fruitful, there could be more.
The gorgeous scene of turning off the lights and exiting just now was just a whim to enhance the atmosphere.
The moment the lights went out, he simultaneously started the blood crusade.
As for why the rhythm of turning off the lights can be controlled so well, the reason couldn't be simpler - the direction of the thread of concern is approaching.
Facts have proved that after realizing that he came here to look for clues, in the night watchman's judgment, the probability that he would come was not that high, and in the end only Winona came.
Lei Lan should be making internal arrangements and conducting a front-on search.
Division of labor and cooperation, waiting for her side to really gain something, and then coordinate actions.
A very reasonable arrangement. Unfortunately, Winona may be motivated enough, but as a contaminated member, she is not suitable to be at the forefront of this pursuit.
"Okay, I'll take you back first, and you can just concentrate on resting and waiting for someone to come over."
Winona, who showed some resentment, obviously would not only practice the spiritual victory method. The next moment she looked at Claire and made an arrangement very simply——
"Why did you turn off the light?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Winona was stunned and looked at the dark space in front of her again.
For an extraordinary person, this kind of darkness would not completely turn him blind.
What surprised her was why the lights were suddenly turned off.
Second, it seems that Claire didn't turn off the light.
In the darkness, Claire's figure stood clearly in the dim light at the door, still far away from the light.
The same is true from here.
It was clear that the time when I said the last sentence was still close before my eyes.
The strange changes taking place in this strange place gave Winona a strong sense of foreboding.
"What... I didn't lock it up!"
The next moment, Claire, who was at the door, said in a confused and trembling tone.
…
People really haven’t left yet!
At that moment, Winona's scalp felt like an electric shock. She quickly took out her weapon again, held her breath and entered the first level of combat readiness.
However, this action only lasted for a few seconds. When she didn't notice any movement, she suddenly felt another kind of fear and turned to look at Claire outside.
"I know you didn't turn it off, so who turned on the light just now? Was it me?"
"Just now……"
The strange questions coming from the darkness seemed to make Claire a little confused.
"You didn't turn on the light..."
As she subconsciously murmured to herself, her fear quickly became intense.
"It was always dark inside after you shouted and rushed in..."
Sure enough, something was wrong... So who was talking to me just now——
No one is talking to me, I have just been dragged into a dream-like hallucination!
Claire's extremely contagious speech, even though it was as powerful as Winona's, made her heart surge for a moment.
But in an instant, a realization came to her mind.
Just like what Grimshaw tried when he and Leylan came to investigate.
The only difference is that he failed to achieve his goal then, but this time he finally succeeded.
Turn on the lights, communicate...
From the moment I rushed into the house, everything that followed happened in my dream.
This would explain why Claire said the lights were never turned on.
From her perspective, she had been searching silently in the darkness since she entered.
In order to avoid getting in the way, she retreated to the door.
Things seem to be clear, but the question is what is the purpose of that guy doing this?
Facing the darkness that was still the same, Winona fell into uncontrollable confusion.
There is even a weird point in it - it was the first time I encountered this move, and without any precautions, I still managed to get rid of the influence in a narrow way.
However, this time, not only did he have experience, he was even the most alert, but he was attacked immediately.
This is completely unreasonable.
Although his abilities are not inclined to the spiritual level, he is not helpless against such methods - demigod!
At a certain moment, Winona stared at the empty darkness and felt that her limbs were as stiff as wood.
Is there a demigod hidden in this, or even in the entire incident of Riku's disappearance?
It seemed that I was overly optimistic before. If that were the case, things were no longer within my and Lei Lan's control.
