Chapter 2719 [Alley No. 13]
Shad continued to walk forward. After the fourth turn, he should have returned to the corridor where the stairs connected to the ground were, but the fact was that the first house number Shad saw was still “Morgue 9” , and there are no stairs leading to the ground next to the corridor.
He stood there in a daze for a while, that is, he communicated with the witch cat telepathically, and then followed the usual practice in stories when such strange things happen, he dug out an empty bottle from his pocket and threw it away. At the wall.
When he turned the corner again, the bottle had disappeared, but the house number on the side of the corridor was still “Morgue 9.”
Shad did not stop this time, but continued to move forward, and had no intention of opening the doors of the surrounding rooms. Just like that, after he turned the thirteenth time, although the house number on the right remained unchanged, there were two more people in the corridor this time, and at the end of the corridor behind them, a street sign was erected in the middle of the road. .
The two extra men are both men, and both are ring warlocks. One looks quite young, probably just an adult, and the other looks like a middle-aged man. They should all be in the middle ring, and the middle-aged man immediately asked in confusion after seeing Sha De appear:
“Can you explain how you did it?”
“How did you do it?”
Xia De then asked, and the middle-aged man replied:
“The Keeper-level relic [Alley No. 13] can only be used in repetitive terrain. After use, a certain area will be turned into a cyclic space. Each time you re-enter the relic at the end of the cycle, In the circulation space, there is a 90% chance of encountering a supernatural event related to the site. If you encounter a supernatural phenomenon, you need to go back after solving the event. If there is a 10% chance that nothing happens, you need to continue forward.
Only by walking through thirteen repeated terrains can we get rid of the effect of the relic. ”
He took a deep breath:
“We have arranged the morgue in advance. You should trigger ghosts, ghosts and even more terrifying things. You will only see us after experiencing frequent battles. Thirteen times, a total of thirteen Times, can you explain how you achieved a 10% chance of winning thirteen times in a row?”
Xia De looked at the street sign standing behind them. Not long ago, he was talking to the girls at home about the relics that expand the space. Unexpectedly, this relic appeared, but unfortunately the side effects of this relic were too great:
“Well, I’m actually a little curious. Just now I was wondering when the door next to me would suddenly open, or when the lights would suddenly go out and monsters would appear. It seems like I just have better luck. ”
Before he finished speaking, the two people standing side by side had already entered the “rapid spell” state. The relatively narrow corridor left no room for anyone to dodge. After sprinting in a straight line, the two of them were in front of Shade almost in the next second.
Under the accelerated state of time, their neural reactions can of course keep up with their own movements. But they were surprised to find that the eyes of the unknown young man in front of them could completely follow their every move, and his eyes were always staring at them.
Most thaumaturgy and spells cannot be cast in the “Rapid Charm” state. This is the most important shortcoming of this thaumaturgy. But Shade only reacted faster on his own, so he was so nervous that he could strike forward in that second:
“Moonlight Slash!”
The left and right ends of the diagonally split moonlight even directly touched the side walls of the corridor. Even in the “rapid spell” state, the speed could not keep up with the speed of light, but at least the two people running at full speed, one jumped up suddenly and the other knelt down. Sliding on the ground, they all successfully passed through the gaps between the moonlight and the ceiling, and the moonlight and the floor.
But because of such exaggerated evasive movements, they lost their attention on Shade. Therefore, when the two people who landed and tried to stand up looked at Shade again, the bottom of the long black staff had already hit the ground:
“Stability principle!”
Green waves swept along the ground, and then the two of them were surprised to find that Shade’s movements suddenly accelerated. But soon they realized that it was not Shade who was accelerating, but that they had actually exited the “rapid spell” state.
Under the principle of stability, the instability was smoothed out most of the time, and Shade, who moved faster, did not rush directly towards the two of them, but raised his hand and used thaumaturgy:
“Confinement Halo!”
A silver halo with an afterimage flew out, and the distance between the three of them was close enough. The two members of the [Tree Hole Association] didn’t even have room to dodge. So the two haloes were successfully placed on the heads of the two people, but the young man who looked young but had a level of eight rings suddenly pulled his companion, and then the two disappeared out of thin air and appeared ten meters behind them. s position.
The Imprisonment Halo chased away, but was shot down by the two prepared people.
“Space jump thaumaturgy?”
Shade raised his eyebrows in surprise, watching the two of them turn around and flee to the other end of the corridor. The two shields behind them overlapped each other, and the defensive thaumaturgy used by the two of them worked together to great effect.
Shad did not catch up or try to break through their defenses, but left the corridor from the opposite direction with the [Staff of Yggdrasil].
As for the two people who were trying to escape, as they approached the end of the corridor, they saw a huge brown bear suddenly appear from the corner. The bear even had to bend down to prevent himself from being hit on the head, but at least its claws were nimble enough. He just flicked the sign to change its direction, and the two people, whose expressions changed drastically, immediately disappeared into the corridor.
“How’s it going?”
Shad, who walked around the corridor, appeared from the corner of the corridor behind the brown bear, and the bear turned into an owl again and flew on Shad’s shoulder:
“They are trapped by the relic. According to my understanding of this Keeper-level relic, it will take them at least half an hour to get out.”
In fact, the third time the corridor was repeated, the knowledgeable witch basically determined what relic they encountered. Taking advantage of the confrontation between Shade and the [Tree Hole Association], she circled counterclockwise, and then successfully used the other party’s relics to trap the two people.
However, Shade and the Witch, who were worried, checked the area again and finally determined that there was no third person ambushing here. During this period, the phantoms of the two people trapped by the relics continued to appear in the corridor like ghosts.
In this state, Shade and Miss Winslet could not interfere with them, and could only watch them fight with something that the outside world could not see.
The Ring Warlocks of [Tree Hole Association] obviously don’t have Shade’s luck. There is a 10% chance that they have never encountered him once. While the two of them were still fighting the anomalies in the corridor of the autopsy room among the relics, Shade also checked the street sign.
The body of the Secret Keeper-level relic [Alley No. 13] is this somewhat rusty street sign. The street sign itself is square, and the back is connected to a metal pipe by welding, allowing it to be inserted into the soil. , but according to the witch, the metal pipe is just an ordinary item. In fact, the relic itself only contains the road sign itself.
It can work by standing upright or by fixing it on the wall, but every time it is fixed, it can only be effective on the people who appear first, and it needs to be re-fixed before it can take effect again. . As for its negative characteristics, they are the abnormal events and monsters generated by the relic for the scene. Very few of them can actively escape the scope of the relic and become truly existing “relic derivatives” after all entrants die.
This also leads to the fact that the [Alley No. 13] street sign is one of the relics with the largest variety of relic derivatives. Miss Owl even said that this relic has generated more than one recorded angel-level relic:
“The whale in the clouds, the giant in the mountains at night, and the event relic ‘falling into the deep sea’. Fortunately, generating such high-risk events requires an extremely strict site, but the morgue will not cause such a problem. Big trouble.”
The text on the road sign belongs to the Third Age, which also shows that the origin of this relic is quite ancient.
In order to prevent the relic from suddenly losing its effect, Shade did not touch it with his hands, but he could still see a series of denser and smaller letters below the letters “Alley No. 13”:
【This is a warm home that people don’t want to leave. 】
“So, is Professor Quinto’s death related to the Tree Hole Association?”
Xia De sighed and asked, and the owl spread its wings and flew:
“I’m going to take a look at the professor’s body and try to channel it. You watch these two people here and be careful.”
With that said, she flew to Morgue 5, unscrewed the door by herself and flew in. But it didn’t take long for her to come back with fluttering wings, and after landing on Shade’s shoulder, she turned into a cat again, and her tail even rubbed against Shade’s neck:
“They arrived early to dispose of Professor Quinto’s body, but the channeling failed.”
“Then wait and see what they do.”
Miss Danister, who was staying at the hotel, thought that the two people who went out on a rainy night would come back soon, but she and Miss Bell waited until ten o’clock in the evening, and even wanted the witch followers downstairs to find them. When we arrived, the drowned owl grabbed the cat that was also wet in the heavy rain and flew out of the window. The silver cat also grabbed a small metal street sign.
Miss Bell hurriedly opened the window, and the two cats landed on the window sill together, and then shook their bodies wildly in almost unison. Miss Bell went to get another towel and wiped the rain off the two cats before they changed back again.
The metal street sign was placed upside down on the window sill. Shade covered his forehead and sat down on the sofa looking a little tired. The red-haired girl poured him a cup of tea in person, with a very gentle tone:
“An emergency happened? I noticed that you brought back a relic.”
