Not only did Hao Ren see the figure, but Lily, who has always been known for her keen senses, also immediately caught the shadow passing between the shelves. The husky girl immediately jumped up: "There is someone in front!"
The group of people immediately chased forward, weaving between the rows of racks that looked like a maze of high walls, chasing closely the faint aura in front of them. After chasing several giant racks in a row, Hao Ren finally
Seeing the back of the target, he saw that she was a petite woman. Judging from the back, she was about the same height as Lily, and she moved extremely quickly. Just when everyone was about to catch up with the woman, the other woman suddenly walked straight towards her.
A row of racks filled with scrolls rushed past, and finally disappeared under everyone's noses.
"Gone?!" After seeing the other party disappear, Hao Ren ran several steps before stopping the car. When he came to the stand, he found that it was just an ordinary stand with no hidden meaning.
Or a hidden device. The data terminal swayed after detecting the surrounding space readings: "There is no sign of space transmission. I'm afraid it was just a phantom."
"First there were demon hunters who were like walking corpses, and now even ghosts have appeared?" Yzaks said in a rough voice, "Could it be that all the demon hunters in this tower have become half-dead?"
Bar"
"Do you still remember the Claude from before?" Lily suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that he escaped from the tower and was caught by you on the front line?"
"But his condition doesn't look like a deserter." Yzaks touched his chin and shook his head gently, and just as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from not far away.
Everyone.
A tall figure appeared not far away as if out of thin air, and slowly walked towards the crowd. He was holding a heavy book in his hand, and seemed to be completely immersed in reading ancient classics. Bai Huo saw
This figure immediately exclaimed: "Mentor?!"
The person walking slowly was none other than Hasselblad, who had been brought into the spiritual world clock tower before, where his life and death were uncertain!
However, Hasselblad's state was exactly the same as the Andahel he met before, with empty eyes and mechanical behavior. He was like a soulless puppet, stiffly repeating the activities he had done in this tower. He was holding a large book on the shelf.
He walked around, and after Hao Ren and his friends walked in front of him, he looked up blankly, and nodded slightly to Bai Huo: "Are you here to study potions?"
"Teacher, why are you like this?" Even though he knew that the other party might not be able to answer his question, Bai Huo stepped forward and grabbed Hasselblad's hand and asked in an anxious tone, "Are you okay?"
Hasselblad just looked at Bai Huo expressionlessly, and after being dull for a long time, he nodded gently: "I'm fine."
"Where are the others?" Hao Ren also stepped forward to ask some tentative questions, because according to Andahel's situation, even in this "soul-departed" state, Hasselblad should be able to provide a little information, "Saints
Where are they all?”
"Everyone is where they should be, and the saints are lecturing everyone," Hasselblad said slowly and nodded to Vivian, "Your Excellency, the Countess."
"The soul has also been separated, and the consciousness is imprisoned deep in the spiritual realm. The whole person seems to be isolated in another past time and space." The data terminal checked Hasselblad's status. "Well, his 'symptoms' seem to be worse than others.
People are lighter?!"
"The symptoms are mild?" A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Bai Huo's eyes, "Can we wake him up?"
At this time, Hao Ren also saw that Hasselblad's condition was indeed better than Andaher's because his eyes kept scanning Vivian and others, and he would show a little doubt from time to time. It seemed that subconsciously he still knew that this place was
The spirit world clock tower, and knew that these people in front of them should not come to this place. This kind of active thinking activity has never appeared in Andahel and the dozens of demon hunters before.
Part of Hasselblad's psyche is still active, and his subconscious may be trying to express this.
The data terminal was flying around Hasselblad's head while mumbling: "Maybe it's because the real 'location' of this library is really outside the clock tower in the spiritual world, so he will be less affected than others.
I'm trying to give him some stimulation, but I guess it won't completely wake him up, but you can take this time to ask him some questions."
As the terminal spoke, a series of blue markings suddenly lit up on the casing. Then several bright arcs hit Hasselblad's forehead. The latter was shocked, and his eyes suddenly regained some clarity.
"Teacher, tutor, how are you?" Bai Huo grabbed Hasselblad's shoulders and shook them hard. "Can you hear me?"
Hasselblad's eyes were constantly changing between lucidity and chaos, as if he was trying to escape from some kind of mental imprisonment, but he still could not react vividly and clearly enough. Yzaks was skilled in the way of the soul, and he realized
After Hasselblad's soul state, he immediately stepped forward and held the opponent's shoulders: "Don't force yourself to speak, just nod or shake your head. Can you hear our voices?"
Hasselblad nodded slowly.
"Do you know where the saint is? The 'real' place."
Hasselblad continued to nod.
"Take us to them."
Hasselblad hesitated for a moment this time, but finally nodded. Then he turned around and walked in a certain direction.
Everyone followed the elder demon hunter and continued deeper into the spirit world clock tower. Tutanin left marks along the way for subsequent troops to identify. Although it seems that the guarding force of the spirit world clock tower has been damaged due to the
The strange "ghost" state here collapsed, but a large follow-up force is still needed to conduct a thorough investigation of this tower.
Under the leadership of Hasselblad, everyone finally found the missing demon hunters, including the elders who had been captured by the Elder Order, as well as the original guards in the spirit world clock tower.
The situation deep inside the clock tower is even more bizarre and creepy.
They passed through the gloomy and cold halls, the dusty rooms, the deep corridors with strange whistling sounds, and the clock tower in the spiritual world was full of faded and lifeless rooms that had been abandoned for many days, swaying
The candlelight swayed on the wall, but the candle showed no sign of burning loss. The fireplace flames were chirping in the corner of the room, but these flames had no temperature. The cold wind of unknown origin blew through the entire building from time to time, bringing a distant feeling.
Indistinct human voices, and in most cases only Lily can hear these voices.
It's like a haunted house here.
The ghost-like demon hunters were moving like zombies in such an environment, as if they were ghosts imprisoned in the cracks of time, mechanically repeating their past lives. In the library, several elders of the cult were completely intoxicated.
They couldn't extricate themselves from the ancient books. In a weapons warehouse, they saw the empty-eyed Master Demon Hunter cleaning his weapons mechanically. In the corridors on the upper floors, they encountered wandering high-ranking officials more than once.
The tower guards were still patrolling and handing over in strict accordance with the schedule, but they turned a blind eye to everything that passed by.
Eventually they came to what looked like a banquet hall.
This banquet hall was gloomy and dark, and the fading was more serious than other places. The entire hall almost turned into black and white, and a cold atmosphere lingered in the air, making it almost difficult to breathe.
The banquet hall was filled with ethereal and intermittent music. These intermittent sounds sounded as if they were leaking from some broken time and space. One couldn't help but wonder whether there was really anyone in the banquet hall still holding the event.
The dance is an endless banquet that repeats itself in a certain closed space-time line.
Hasselblad has been silent since he brought everyone here. Now the data terminal is checking his status, and Hao Ren is looking around vigilantly. He sees that from time to time some very thin images appear in the dim environment around him.
Light and shadow, these lights and shadows flicker away. If you look closely, you will find some figures, just like the afterimages of people who held dances here in the past.
In the corner of his eye, he saw a vaguely familiar short figure running out of the corner of the banquet hall. This short figure was the one who suddenly appeared and disappeared in the library before. This figure ran across the hall, quickly
It flickered a few times, and finally disappeared next to Lily, shocking the husky girl.
Just when everyone was getting nervous due to the scary atmosphere here, little Elizabeth suddenly pointed to the end of the hall: "There is someone there!"
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the little girl's finger, and sure enough he saw a vague figure in the darkness. It was a thin figure wearing a black robe, almost completely integrated with the dimness of the background, and there was no breath coming out.
, if the little girl hadn't been sharp-eyed, I'm afraid Hao Ren wouldn't have noticed the person sitting over there.
Lily approached nervously, and she realized that the person in front of her was probably the so-called saint because he really had a weird mask on his face.
However, there was no life in him.
Lily carefully poked the person in front of her with her paw: "It seems to have been dead for a long time." (To be continued.)
