No.302 Reaching out even in the dark
"I see. The crowd gathered around the computer showed a sudden look.
The hotel was newly built in recent years, and it was featured in a magazine when it opened, so it is a little famous, and its floor plan can be easily found online. According to the map, the hotel has five floors above ground, and the kitchen on the top floor has a freight elevator that leads directly to the underground warehouse. The underground warehouse is only separated by a wall from the parking lot of the shopping mall next door, and once you reach the warehouse, you should be able to return to the ground through the parking lot.
The staircase connecting to the underground warehouse is located on the first floor, which is no longer accessible. If you want to go underground, you can only go through the patio of the freight elevator.
"Okay, at least there's a way to try it!" Xiao Ling gave Shahi a thumbs up in praise, "Fortunately, you checked these beforehand, it's good!"
After the airtight metal plates and automatic defense devices blocked the entire hotel, the network signal was naturally cut off, and not only could not access the Internet, but also could not even make phone calls. Fortunately, Shahi had been browsing the relevant information of this hotel before all this happened, and before he had time to close the website, it came in handy.
The girl with short black hair blushed slightly from the praise, and hurriedly added, "However, it may be dangerous. ”
"Yes, since the Demomen have chosen this hotel to trap us, they must know more about the building than we do, and perhaps they have put some obstacles in the freight elevator patio. Kiriba took over the conversation and talked eloquently in a very senior manner, as if it wasn't him who was frightened by the ghost fire just now, "But there is no other way at present, so I can only be careful and try it for the time being." ”
Without much hesitation, the group quickly agreed to the plan - just a minute earlier, they had heard a violent explosion from outside the hotel, and now that the chaos had become outside, there was no time for further delays.
On the way to the fifth floor, the group encountered two more attacks by supersonic bats, and it was almost suspected that the demolitionists had turned the hotel into a bat nest. Luckily, there was a professional on the team who released the hypnotic debuff, and he easily created two more bat carpets, saving him the effort of getting involved in the brawl.
Coming to the freight elevator in the top kitchen, Xiao Tian, who was running at the front, tried to press the button, but there was no response, and it seemed that the entire hotel's power system had indeed been cut off - except for the automatic defense device that was stubborn like Kentero. Seeing this, Xiaojie immediately threw out the Poke Ball, "Casey, the spirit is strong." ”
Casey's hands pointed to the freight elevator door, and the blue spiritual power attached to the door, tearing it apart to both sides, revealing the dark freight elevator shaft.
"The elevator should be at the bottom. Xiaojie looked down and said.
Due to the failure of the detection move, everyone can only use the naked eye to determine whether there is danger below. However, the bottom of the freight elevator shaft could not be seen at all by the flame lighting of the tip of the Charizard's tail, and Saya's ghost stone tried to throw a few ghost fires down, but nothing unusual happened.
Or in other words, when the blue ghost fire shines on it, everything becomes abnormal.
Xiao Tian stood by the freight elevator and thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Do you all have ropes?"
Ropes have always been indispensable among the belongings of trainers on travel, and someone who left his backpack on the first floor and didn't have time to get it, and quickly borrowed a long rope from someone next to him. Xiao Ling played with the deadly strong rope that was invulnerable, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it would be nice if these so-called hole ropes could make people teleport out of thin air like in the game.
Although the teenagers and girls present were young, they were all free trainers with full travel experience, and what they should do next was needless to say, and they quickly used the set of operations of mountaineering, first knotting the rope at the waist, and then fixing the other end outside the elevator to make a simple safety rope. There are also people who want to try to use the power of flying Pokémon to go down, but the patio of the freight elevator is only more than two meters wide, and it is completely impossible to use, so in the end they have to give up.
Xiao Tian was the first to tie the safety rope and the first to go down to the patio. The other seven people followed closely behind, pulling the rope slowly down in turn. Xiaoye, who was second in line, couldn't help but look up, thinking to himself how Bai Lan was wearing that restrained kimono, how could she perform such a difficult move?
Without thinking about it, Bai Lan didn't know how to do it, and climbed down the rope lightly, as if she was wearing a sportswear from a friendly store instead of a tattooed feather hakama. Seeing Xiao Ye looking over, the golden-eyed young man tilted his head, and cast a question mark on his expressionless face but very vividly, Xiao Ye quickly retracted his gaze, no longer looking at his magic skills of jumping freely in a kimono.
The burly Charizard couldn't get into such a narrow patio, and it had already been retracted into the Poké Ball by Xiao Tian. It took over the lighting and became Ghost Stone, who had no complaint about it, and happily spat out a series of ghost fires, the brightness was not very good, but the color saturation was sufficient, and the faces of the people turned blue as if they were seeing a ghost.
It's not a coordinator.,Xiao Ya, who has never practiced the aesthetic effect of moves, can't do anything about it.,Can only silently pray that the Kiripa seniors behind him won't be so frightened that they fall off the fifth floor with weak legs for a while.。
Everyone walked quietly in the freight elevator shaft, and for a moment there was only the sound of clothes rubbing against the ropes. Everyone raised their vigilance, but the scene of a swarm of bats swooping up like before did not happen again, and the eight of them descended to the height of about three floors without incident.
Xiao Tian, who was in the lead, was moving downward a little, and his eyes suddenly swept to the wall at his feet, which seemed to be inlaid with something like a light bulb, and his vision was blurry in the dim light. Before he could pay close attention, the blood-red light tore through the darkness.
When a loud alarm sounded without warning, the top paulownia almost fell from the ground. At the same time, everyone saw that there seemed to be four or five lights on the wall next to them.
“...... Bomb!" Xiao Jie's face changed drastically.
The glowing object was illuminated by flashing red numbers on the screen, and it was the second time that Saya and the others had seen it recently - it was a bomb identical to the one in an abandoned subway station.
If this was really the kind of bomb used in the Mihara bombing, wouldn't the entire hotel be razed to the ground, let alone the people who were so close?
The sirens and the bomb's start switch are connected to each other, and a chain reaction is far faster than a human can think. Xiao Jie, who was next to a bomb, was chilled, his eyes widened instinctively, and the bomb flashing red in his vision burst out little by little like a slowed documentary, and the fire froze in the air......
Hey?
After two seconds of frustration, the blonde boy suddenly realized that this was not some pre-death delusion. Not only this bomb, but also the five bombs placed in the freight elevator shaft were all frozen in the state of the first flash of fire, as if time had frozen, which was extremely strange.
At this time, the dense points of light spread silently at some point, and the dark shaft was dimly reflected, and at first glance it looked as beautiful as the endless night sky. Xiao Ye suddenly understood something, and raised her head suddenly, her eyes crashing into the young man's scorching golden eyes.
Standing in the middle of the sea of countless points of light, his white clothes seemed to be shining, and the fragments of the starry brilliance swam in the air spiritually, combining into the Milky Way flowing in the universe.
A word came to everyone's mind at the same time.
Real illusions.
As we all know, the former Chief Search Officer, Xingyu White Night, has a very special ability called True Illusion. Although it is called illusion, it is completely different from the illusion that the illusion type superpower is based on the five senses - when the white night opens the real illusion, the area enveloped by the force field will become the caster's "domain", which can control the objects in the field to levitate and move, twist and deform, produce thousands of changes out of thin air, and even interfere with time and space to a certain extent. It's like projecting an unbelievable world of illusion into reality, hence the name "real illusion".
Many people have seen in ancient videos that Starry Night uses this ability to speed up or slow down the opponent's movements, so it stands to reason that "slowing down a certain physical process", such as "bomb explosion", can also be done.
When Brandy unleashed this ability, his identity, which he had not answered directly, was revealed. But no one would think about it at the moment - real illusion is a rather physically demanding ability, and it is impossible for Bai Lan to suppress the explosion of the bomb forever, and after he is exhausted, the postponed disaster will still come.
Xiaotian's mind was in a hurry, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart. There was no time to explain more at the moment, he just tilted his head and said, "Bailan, give me twenty seconds!"
The young man in white had the same expression, and the light oozing from his golden eyes reflected his solemn face.
"Good. He replied simply.
The words fell, and white light radiated from the Poké Ball in Xiao Tian's hand. The flying mantis came out in response, and Xiao Tian let go of the rope in his hand, lay on its back, and swooped down quickly. Xiao Ling, who was in a hurry, tried her best to stretch her neck to look down, and vaguely seemed to see another figure flashing by, falling down with Xiao Tian.
At this point, Xiao Tian didn't care about whether there were more traps. Under his instructions, the Flying Mantis went straight down, and the flashing white scimitar slashed fiercely at the top of the elevator car, bursting out countless sparks.
As soon as they quickly penetrate the roof of the elevator car, they can immediately rush into the warehouse, avoiding the direct impact of the explosion. The Flying Mantis's attack power lived up to expectations, and the wind-wielding blade pierced the metal in three or two blows, causing the roof of the car to crumble.
At this moment, Xiao Tian heard a creepy hissing sound coming from behind him.
Only then did he realize that there was actually a Pokémon ambush at the bottom of the freight elevator patio. But it was too late, and the serpent's sharp teeth were about to fall on his shoulder.
In the next second, with a loud "bang", the strong wind stirred, and the Aba snake was slapped to the ground by an unknown attacker.
The silver-haired boy's eyes widened. He realized that Xiao Ye actually jumped down with his bare hands and without a single defense, and the momentum of the free fall completely fell on the Aba snake, smashing it into a roll of his eyes.
The Abba Snake is not the only attacker hiding in the shadows. Rada, who had been huddled in the corner before, also pounced out, but was just halfway through the pounce when he was hit by the pitch-black aura above his head. Ghost Stone, who likes to live in the shadows, is not affected by the darkness at all, and every movement of Radha and Aba Snake is clearly seen by it. After aiming at the target, Evil Wave tightened the energy ring to its narrowest level, completing a precise sniper attack without giving Radha the slightest chance to attack the trainer.
On the other side, the hairy Ah Bai snake waved its tail and tried to slash it out, but the purple-haired spoiler grabbed the tip of the tail with a lightning hand. The blue light flickered, and Xiao Ye kicked the Aba snake into the air with a slam kick, but the Aba snake also bounced back extremely quickly, and its sharp fangs bit down viciously. The taste of blood spread in his mouth, causing the snake's eyes to turn red, and the attack became more and more ferocious.
In the chaos, Xiao Tian could only see the figure in front of him suddenly rushing out. The blue light of the hand clamped the snake's throat like a pincer, and the other hand restrained its tail, and the snake was thrown away and smashed heavily on the roof of the car.
The lightning and stone fire of the fight only took a few seconds. The flying mantis completely cut off the edge of the roof of the car, and the fall of the Aba snake completely collapsed the roof and planted a person and a snake into the car together.
Xiao Tian was surprised and immediately jumped down. Unfortunately, the Ghost Stone above unleashed a wave of evil at this point, colliding with Rada's destructive rays. The strong impact force made the flying mantis that had just finished cutting work fall on its head, not to mention Xiaotian, whose feet slipped and fell off the top of the car.
He thought he would wrestle with the dazed Aba snake below, but in the dark, a pair of hands caught him accurately.
The pitch-black car couldn't even shine in the light of the ghost fire, and it stands to reason that they couldn't see each other's condition at all. The man took it as if he had expected it, holding his back with one hand and his knee with the other, and the momentum of falling from a height of three meters was firmly bearing.
Rao is always calm Xiaotian was stunned. The surroundings were dark, and he couldn't even see the face of the person who caught him, and he only vaguely caught a glimpse of the eyes reflecting the little swimming light brought by the illusionary force field above, reflecting a cosmic galaxy, still the calm light purple that he was familiar with.
The white light on the roof of the car lit up again. Xiao Tian suddenly realized something, and when the hands just carefully lowered him, he grabbed the other party to the corner near the elevator door. And the soaring white light also climbed to the peak, the angry flying mantis spun and danced its blade, and the dangerous whirlwind of swords and sword shadows ran through the top and bottom, and the Ah Bai snake, which had just been trampled on by the two of them, was hit again, and fainted without saying a word. And Radha was not spared, he was knocked out of the air, slammed into the wall, and slapped into a rat cake.
By the light of the sword dance, Xiao Tian saw Xiao Ye gesturing to him. He nodded knowingly, quickly retracted the Flying Mantis, and raised his head to shout, "Jump down!"
At the same time, Xiao Ye kicked violently at the car door. Crystal blue brilliance flashed, and the unsturdy door flew out of the air, and the narrow space suddenly opened.
