In the dark corridor, black and red dragon blood dripped onto the pale bones on the ground, making an unpleasant squeaking sound. Samson let out a dull roar, as if begging for No. 0's forgiveness.
Looking at the cracked pipe in front of her, Mai Shutoku knew that this road was not destined to be passed by dragons. Compared with Samson's huge body, the downward pipe was too narrow, and only she could go down...
Of course, there is also the boss who hugs himself.
Zero didn't pay much attention to Samson who was still wailing. He jumped off the back of the crawling dragon like a child and stretched out his hands to Mai Shutoku above.
Mai Shuutoku smiled sweetly, held the bulge on the dragon's back with both hands, and drew an arc with her beautiful body. With a dull sound, Mai Mai Sukunoku landed gracefully on the ground.
"The next step is to go to Norton's palace." Zero appeared next to Shutoku Mai, his illusory lower body floating in the air like a ghost, looking at Shutoku Mai next to him: "Do you feel that now
The situation is very much like a movie?”
"Are you talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark?" Mai Shutoku looked calm, without any unnecessary expression, and was removing the obstructive flippers from her feet to make it easier to move around here.
"No, not that old. I'm talking about Harry Potter. Don't you think the current situation is very similar to the scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?" Zero opened his hands and looked at the huge Norton statue in front of him.
, with a trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth, he shouted to the statue in front of him: "Submit to me, Norton!"
Zero's voice echoed in the empty corridor. At that moment, the huge snake-faced sculpture symbolizing Norton began to deform under Zero's order. The bronze body began to turn into a metal flow without temperature, like the gradual change in the spring.
Like melting ice, they flow and gather together.
Then, the huddled metal spread out in the next instant, occupying the space where the giant statue originally stood, and a barrier glowing with golden light and water waves appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is the real door." Number Zero introduced. If the passage opened by Samson was a small emergency door, then this water curtain-like barrier was the most formal door into Norton's palace.
Accompanied by the sound of the chain sliding, Samson walked forward slowly. This was the main door of Norton's palace, and the only one who could open it was Norton's closest dragon attendant: Samson.
Samson is a rare second generation who is very loyal to the king. In the history of the dragon clan, which is full of betrayal and subjugation, it is rare to see a dragon clan as stupid and loyal as Samson who is willing to sacrifice his life for the king. Perhaps this is why Norton trusts so much.
For his sake.
But at this time, Samson knew that his master was about to face a powerful enemy with powers that he could not understand, and he had to do something.
There was some human emotion in Samson's eyes, and the wounds on his back and chest were bleeding again due to the tightness of the muscles. The next moment, Samson raised the sharp dragon claw and pierced it deeply into his chest.
middle.
The dragon text with a trembling voice came out of Samson's mouth. These were words with power. In an instant, light appeared in the dark corridor.
The psychedelic light came from the small snake and human statues that were awakened by Samson. The dragon inscriptions on the statues shone with light. The Bronze City, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed its terrifying side to Mai Shuode.
Just like other mixed races, Mai Shutoku fell into a state of spiritual vision the moment she saw those dragon inscriptions. The dark corridor and strange-looking statues in front of her disappeared, replaced by an antique statue.
Big city.
This Chinese-style city has thick walls and generous gates. Businessmen traveling from north to south are waiting to enter the city with horses bought from the north and pearls from the south.
Farmers carrying firewood and fresh vegetables, wearing patched and somewhat dirty clothes, gathered together in groups, speaking in unintelligible dialect, and seemed to be calculating how much these goods could be sold for.
Mai Shutoku stood on the busy dirt road in front of the city gate. She couldn't see clearly the faces of the hurried pedestrians. They were like ghosts, with a pitifully low sense of existence.
The whole city has an unusual temperament, where reality and illusion are combined in a strange way. After watching a ragged beggar pass through her body, Mai Shutoku knew that this place was just an illusion.
.
"It's amazing." Just when Shutoku Mai was at a loss, No. 0 appeared again at the right time: "An illusion made of living things."
"What do you mean?" Mai Shutoku looked at the shadows around her. They looked even weirder than her boss. If Zero was like a ghost, then these people were soulless projections.
"The living memories in those statues are gathered together to form an illusion. Everyone here is just a living memory of the past." No. 0 looked past the thick city wall and saw the palace hiding behind the wall.
King: "But there is one who is true and not false."
Mai Shutoku seemed to understand. She pulled out the hunting knife from her waist, held it in her hand, and asked Zero for instructions: "What is the mission?"
"Just like the initial responsibility of a ninja, cross the thick city walls and heavily guarded palaces, go to the king's side, and then..."
Zero paused for a rare moment, as if expecting Mai Shutoku to answer.
"Then kill the opponent?" Mai Shutoku asked. Ninjas are not only spies to spy on intelligence, but when necessary, they can also be assassins hiding in the dark.
"No, then talk to him, like a psychiatrist." Zero shrugged, and his figure gradually disappeared in front of Mai Shutoku.
Mai Shutoku was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took action. Although most of the humans in this space were ghosts whose faces could not be seen clearly, the buildings and the land were real. Mai Mai Shutoku stroked the uneven city walls.
, and blended into the group entering the city without a care.
This is probably the easiest infiltration mission in the world. All the soldiers turned a blind eye to her existence. Mai Shutoku walked through this ancient Chinese city. The streets were twisted like a maze and seemed to be constantly changing positions.
After passing a butcher shop for the third time, Mai Shutoku knew that she seemed to be trapped in some strange illusion. The surrounding buildings kept changing and leading her back to the original path, trapping her in it and unable to escape.
But here, Mai Shutoku remembered what her boss had said. The illusion here relied on living construction, just like everyone's dream after falling asleep, changing positions, trapping herself as an incompatible outsider.
But if he disappears from the living sight, will he continue to move the building?
Thinking of this, Mai Shutoku's eyes turned into golden pupils, and darkness appeared around her along with Long Wen.
Mingzhao, a word spirit that creates darkness, creates a dark realm that envelopes Shutoku Mai's body. The next moment, she hides in the shadows and disappears.
