Chapter 930: The Blade Breaks into the Demon City (4)
"Hey~ this way, this way~ look here! Directly below at five o'clock!"
Soon after Ruoyu and Ling flew over the castle, a slightly childish voice floated in the wind and called them several times. New.m
The two followed the sound and soon discovered a boy wearing a mini long purple suit on the balcony at the edge of a tower.
At this moment, Feng Bujue was standing on tiptoes, waving his hands towards them, and shouting loudly.
Seeing this, Ruoyu and Ling didn't talk, just exchanged glances, and reached a consensus... Together they controlled the magic broom and flew towards the balcony.
"You two really kept me waiting for a long time." After they landed, Feng Bujue said with a smile.
"How did you know we were coming?" Ling asked after landing, "Did you install surveillance cameras around the castle?" When she said this, she inadvertently turned her head and looked at the outer wall of the castle.
"Your whereabouts... Dracula naturally told me." Feng Bujue replied, "As long as a larger creature with a soul enters the area around the castle, the count can sense it." He said,
He raised his hand and pointed upward, "By the way, the outer layer of this castle has a barrier... and there are two floors in total. I just asked the count to let you in... so you can fly in, otherwise you would have been there long ago.
Hit an energy wall."
"You already know what's going on with Tan, right?" At this time, Ruoyu said again.
"Of course." Feng Bujue responded, "But...it's really a bit surprising...could it be that he died together with Po Jun?"
"He was killed by me." Ling continued.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned when he heard this, "What kind of story is this from?"
"You can ask him yourself after this matter is over." Until now, Ling was still a little unhappy when talking about this matter, "Anyway, let's exchange information first."
"Oh... ok." Feng Bu was very aware of words and emotions, so he didn't pursue the question further. He just turned around and said, "Then let's walk..."
…………
Let’s break it down into two parts, let’s look at the members of the Blades.
After wandering around the huge chapel for a while, the three of them discovered a vertical cylindrical passage.
The diameter of the passage is about three meters. There are many platforms of different heights embedded in the ring-shaped wall. Each platform is only about one meter square, which is just enough for an adult to stand firmly.
Going up through this columnar passage, you can turn to the high point of the chapel. There is a staircase leading to the upper attic. Brother Long and the others went in and explored, and found that in addition to the unmanned armor that threw the spinning axe, there were also
There is a strange monster with six arms and a body shape similar to a human woman. There are also some fire-breathing monsters fixed on the floor that look like dinosaur skulls.
After clearing away the monsters in the attic, they searched the area and found a piece of equipment. Unfortunately, it was just an ordinary-quality sword. The ordinary-grade store goods in the exchange were slightly better...
But that's all.
So, all three of them turned back angrily with the mentality of "no gain, no good". Fortunately, the distance of the return this time was not too far, and the route was all the way down, so it didn't take much physical effort.
After returning to the cylindrical passage, they eliminated another demon and bypassed a slow-flying will-o'-the-wisp monster that resembled Shaomai, and then entered the space directly below the chapel.
It was a symmetrical, hourglass-shaped room composed of multiple rectangular platforms. When the three people from Blade entered it... a boss had been waiting there for a long time.
The boss this time is a manticore with a length of five meters and a height of about 2.5 meters. In terms of blood volume, speed, and attack method... it is a little stronger than the giant skeleton holding a stick. Of course...
...just "a little bit".
This monster's attack mode is relatively monotonous. There are roughly three types: one, using the python-like scorpion tail behind it to stab or slap the player; second, spitting long-range fire bombs at the player from its mouth; third,
Just pounce on it and bite it.
For the members of Blade, this second wave of SS is even easier than the previous Skeleton wave, because... Brother Long can withstand all its attacks, and he can do so without breaking his defense...
So, after a quick test, Brother Long carried the shield forward and raised it. No matter how the manticore attacked... Anyway, Brother Long would not lose any blood. He would just lose a little physical energy.
In this way, Qisha and Tanlang, under the cover of Brother Long, used low-cost means to output at a constant speed, and took out the wave of bosses in a leisurely manner.
"There is still no reward..." After the manticore fell to death, Brother Long walked to its body and looked down.
"It doesn't seem like there was any hint..." Qisha thought.
But Greedy Wolf... was silent and thoughtful...
Five minutes later, the three of them completed a simple search and rest, and then set off on the road. Due to Brother Jue's casual, willful, and unhappy decision... their journey was destined to be long.
In the next fifteen minutes, the three of them passed through several more rooms, but fortunately they did not encounter too many detours... Fifteen minutes later, they finally saw another red door.
After passing through the white corridor between the two red doors this time, the system prompt that reached their ears was: Castlevania Library.
"Beep!" The moment the voice sounded, Tanlang slapped his thigh and cursed, "That's me! It's right next to my mouth... but I can't remember it! It turns out to be Castlevania!"
In fact... Along the way, Greedy Wolf had already been vaguely aware of the setting of this castle, but even though there was a layer of window paper, he couldn't figure it out.
This feeling...I think many people have experienced it. When you are thinking about a question, you know that the answer is in your mind, but you just can't figure it out...That feeling is really uncomfortable.
.
Feng Bujue had also experienced this kind of discomfort. Because he was extremely unhappy with this feeling, he built himself a thinking palace, a memory attic... which permanently solved the problem of storing and accessing information in the brain...
"Castlevania... seems to be the name of an old game, right?" Seeing Greedy Wolf's reaction, Qisha also thought about it and muttered.
"A game series that has existed since the 1980s." Greedy Wolf calmed down his thoughts for a while, and then said, "There are many works, and the level is uneven; most of them are above a certain level, but the rest are
He is a special god, and a special shit..." He paused for a second, and then added, "After the 100s of this century, the number of Castlevania-related works has significantly decreased, and it has gradually faded out of people's sight.
Later... neural connection technology gradually became popular, and stand-alone games showed an overall decline trend, so people of our generation have basically never played this series." He looked at Qisha and continued, "Most people born in the 20s heard that
When I heard the words 'Castlevania', I had the same reaction as you. I knew it was an old game, but I had almost no idea other than the name."
"You've learned so much..." Brother Long interjected at this time. "...It seems you know a lot about this 'Castlevania', right?"
Unexpectedly, Greedy Wolf replied: "No, I don't understand very well."
"Hey, hey..." Qi Shaxu said with eyes, "Then you just made that up?"
"How is that possible..." Tanlang continued, "Although I don't 'know' very well, you know better after all." He paused and explained, "A few years ago, I bought it online.
An antique game console, the seller also gave me all his game discs. So I played through a few. One of them is Castlevania." He looked at the space in front of him, "Here.
Since arriving at this castle, I have always felt that the monsters and area names here have all kinds of familiarity... But because it has been so long, I didn't remember it for a moment." He sighed, "Alas... Until now, I
After hearing about 'Castlevania Library', it finally dawned on me..."
"Oh..." Qisha thought, "Now that you understand the setting, will our next exploration become easier?"
"Then let's see..." As Tanlang spoke, he reached out from his bag and took out the "treasure map" drawn on kraft paper. He unfolded it in front of his teammates and said, "...This is it."
…………
At the same time, between the thrones on the top floor of Castlevania.
"Let me introduce you briefly..." Feng Bujue motioned to his two teammates with his hand, and said to the monsters and Hill in the room. "These two are my companions, Xi Yu Ruoli,
The sad spirit laughs at the bones.”
He didn't know what the system would translate these two IDs into, so he just went with it as usual.
"And these people..." Brother Jue turned to look at his teammates again, "Just like what I told you on the road just now... they are Count Dracula, Frankenstein, Mr. Werewolf, the nameless mummy, and the Gill Man.
Sir, and Mr. Hill."
Regarding Hill, Feng Bujue has also told his teammates everything. In short...he randomly caught a homeless homeless man with all limbs on the street, and then used Musashi Kanai's invention to control him. Then.
When he came down, he set up a trap and asked Hill to put away Van Helsing's diary for him without knowing it.
"Then...we all know each other now." Feng Bujue continued, "Let me get down to the topic..." He glanced at Dracula and then said, "Earlier today, Mr. Earl and I
A consensus has been reached. Currently, both of us are working together for each other's goals. And our goals... there are two." He paused, "One is to kill the three members of the Blade... that is
Long Aomin, Qisha, and Greedy Wolf." He pointed to the crystal ball in the corner of the room, "Every move they make in the city is completely under our surveillance. At this stage, we can let them jump again.
Take a moment and use 'this city' as much as possible to waste away some of their lives and physical energy."
At this point, he changed the subject: "Second, destroy the holy amulet..." Then he took the item out of his pocket and raised it, "That's what I have in my hand."
He flicked the thing twice casually, "However, it is still in an indestructible state, and this situation will continue until midnight today."
"Then what should we do now?" Ruoyu asked.
"We'd better act separately." When Feng Bujue replied, he had already walked to Ruo Yu's side calmly, "First of all, I want you to keep the amulet for me." Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Ruo Yu's hand.
hand, and stuffed the amulet into her palm.
Seeing this scene, Dracula's eyes were obviously different, but he still held back his words.
"Due to the properties of the Holy Amulet, Mr. Count and his friends cannot have long-term contact with it. This is why he could only keep it in a room far away from himself even though he had obtained the amulet."
Feng Bujue pointed at the luggage on Ruoyu's waist again, "I have already explained to the count that before midnight, our 'space pocket' is the best place to keep the amulet, and he also knows...
If something unexpected happens to us, the amulet will be relocated elsewhere."
During the last two sentences, Feng Bujue winked at Ruoyu and Ling respectively, obviously hinting at something to them.
The team's tacit understanding and personal IQ were there, so the two of them understood immediately and understood that Brother Jue wanted them to be wary of the earl.
"As for me..." Feng Bu felt his teammates' eyes responding, so he continued, "...I want to leave for a while and go pick up something with Mr. Hill." He looked at Xi with a playful smile.
Er, "Actually, I wanted to pick up the thing myself this morning, but I really couldn't get away... After all, the layout here is more important, so I can only ask Mr. Hill to do it for me... and he
...Haha...he did what I expected him to do without any surprise."
Hill was much more honest now. After hearing Brother Jue's sarcasm, he didn't even hum, but just stood silently.
"The thing you want to take is Van Helsing's diary, right?" Ling asked.
In the conversation not long ago, Ling had already told Brother Jue that he was holding a "ritual spell", and Brother Jue had also roughly guessed that Tan and Sean's group of children had visited the strange German man.
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "Based on my knowledge..."
The following passage sounds very different to NPCs, because Brother Jue mentioned a lot of information beyond the "fourth wall", and the system must intervene. Of course, viewers watching the live broadcast will not be affected.
"...The script we are experiencing is basically based on the plot of the movie "The Demon Rangers"." Jue Ge said eloquently, "As you can see, I have borrowed the most powerful part of this script.
The 'power'... stands together with the strong villains. I won't list the advantages brought by this move. I will just mention the corresponding hidden dangers, that is... the positive character in the movie, the self-proclaimed 'descendant'
Those kids from the Demon Rangers... relying on the blessing of the 'Protagonist Halo', they are likely to harm our good deeds." He paused for half a second, "From a superficial point of view... killing them seems to be a good idea.
The choice won't be difficult for us; but I know... that is absolutely, absolutely! It won't work." He explained, "For example, suppose I am in the DC universe and try to murder someone.
The main character in the DC universe... then I will definitely fail; no matter how carefully I prepare, I may be stopped by some extremely probable accidental events. This is because... in this universe, every main character's
Life, death, and destiny are all intertwined and involved, and may even affect the cause and effect of the entire universe. If we 'travelers from other worlds' interfere with these causes and effects, it will cause conflict with the 'supreme will' of the universe. In serious cases...
It's not impossible to be killed by a meteorite, even the system can't save us."
Having reached this point in one breath, Brother Jue licked his lips and continued: "To sum up, in order to achieve our goal, we have to take a detour... Taking the script in front of us as an example, we'd better not use too radical methods.
To stop those kids, all you need to do is control the diary."
He talked about so much, but Ruoyu and Ling actually didn't understand it completely. They had never seen the movie, and they didn't know much about those children. And the audience who were watching the game didn't understand even more.
But... no matter whether you understand it or not, everyone has a similar feeling of "unclear awareness"... (To be continued.)
