At this moment, not only the people in the room were stiffened with fright, but the live audience in front of the screen also scrambled to scream.

The camera is full of malice from the exterior of the house to the close-up of the ice puppet, and the eerie big face fills the entire screen without warning, comparable to the scene of a ghost movie. Within seconds, the barrage pool was filled with angry protests from frightened people — and gibberish from overpanic.

Inside the house, the risk-taker who bore the brunt of the attack moved quickly. As soon as the leader raised his hand, he extinguished the candle without hesitation, and the figure that was dimly visible through the window immediately disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, there was an uproar in the Elder's Mansion, and the torches outside the window threw a flickering glimmer into the room, making the creepy figure of the ice puppet clearly visible. The Terashima siblings were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they shrank behind the boss tremblingly, controlling themselves from screaming on the spot, and they had exhausted all their willpower.

Sayo was ready to fight, but after a moment of stalemate, she noticed that the ice puppet's reaction was a little abnormal.

It had obviously bumped into the uninvited guests face to face, and it was only a few dozen centimeters away from hugging, but it still walked to the window as if nothing had happened, mimicking the human body and making a visiting posture, and from time to time it made a realistic coughing sound - God knows how the slick ice lump made its sound.

After about half a minute, the ice puppet staggered back to the bed and lay down without moving.

The sisters and brothers, who were ready to welcome the plot of the horror film at the same level as last year, suddenly looked at each other.

Xiao Ye still seemed to be calm, and quietly pushed a crack in the innermost window, allowing the Dream Demon to call back his companion. It wasn't until little Pichu was squeezed into the house by the ghost's tail with a helpless look on his face, and the window closed again, that the two of them suddenly realized.

"Stand-in!" said Lijiu, clapping her hands.

Since the ice puppet in front of it is unresponsive to outsiders, it is only useful to "make the illusion that there are always people living in the room".

"However, the appearance of the ice puppet and the human is too different, you may not be able to see anything from the window, and it will be completely exposed as soon as you open the door, right?" Long Xing scratched his head.

"Have you forgotten? On the first day we came here, we heard that the Second Elder was very wary of his illness, and no one was allowed to approach, and only the guards who delivered food were allowed to enter the house every day. Lijiu replied.

The young man's eyes lit up, "I also heard that the Third Elder sometimes comes to the Second Elder to discuss business!"

The siblings looked at each other and made a smart expression of understanding. And while they were guessing the truth of the matter, Xiao Ye had already searched all the desks, wardrobes, and other items in the room.

Although there were a few scattered books on the second elder's desk, the drawers were empty, as if they were brand new furniture that had never been used. There was not a single piece of clothing in the closet, and there was even a layer of dust on the handles due to the long shelf.

After rummaging through this unpopular room, Xiao Ye crossed out the possibility of "the second elder is just going out tonight" in her mind - there is no doubt that this is not a room where anyone has ever lived.

The sisters and brothers looked at the eldest and finally stopped rummaging through the cabinets, and said in anticipation, "Isn't it, the second elder has really ......?"

Sayo nodded.

Why is the Second Elder, who was supposed to have died in battle a year ago, still "surviving" in the Wind and Snow Villa? Who controlled the Ice Puppet, and how did the Ice Puppet take the place of the Second Elder in an unknown way? What did the person who led all this want to cover up, and what was the truth of the great battle a year ago?

All questions are answered.

"It's time for us to leave. Xiao Ye looked at the sky through the window.

In summer, the sun rises early on the mountain, and the sun rises at four or five o'clock. If you don't escape from the Second Elder's house before then, there will be nowhere to hide after dawn.

"But how do you leave?" Li Jiu pointed to the chaotic scene outside the window.

The presence of the intruders raised the security of the Elder's Mansion to the highest level, and the guards were running around in groups, unable to find a single opportunity to take advantage of.

Xiao Ye listened for a while, but sat down leisurely by the window, and beckoned the sister and brother to rest together.

"Wait for the right time. ”

She tapped her white clothes.

After all, we are not the only adventurers who have come here. ”

"The strikers drop back and keep their distance...... Now release the smoke!OK, move with me!"

Hidechi Ikawa covered his mouth and nose and was the first to rush out of the area covered in black smoke. His teammates followed, silently and swiftly moving on to the next high ground. The smoked guards choked and coughed, and the formation was chaotic, and it was only because of the large number of people that they were not completely thrown away.

At the Blizzard Mountain Resort at night, being discovered by the patrol means being out of the game - although the person who announced the rules said so, Hidechi, as the leader of the team, had long since discovered that as long as he was not caught by the guards, he would not be sentenced to lose.

That said, it makes sense - if you are out of the game the moment you are seen, then this game is really only accessible to non-humans.

They had already obtained the information they wanted in the library where outsiders were not allowed to enter, but due to the large number of squads, it was inevitable that they would be cumbersome to move, and they were accidentally discovered by the guards when they left.

The library is located next to the Elder's Mansion and is one of the most heavily guarded areas of the Windy Snow Lodge at night. Fortunately, Hidechi Yichuan had excellent skills and commanded his teammates to fight and retreat, so he was not immediately wrapped in dumplings.

Because the guards on the lookout were too threatening, Hidechi directly ordered his companions to set a fire and set fire to the wooden base of the lookout - of course, he had no intention of creating a fire, and symbolically burned a little black smoke to extinguish the fire, but it was enough to force the guards on the top of the platform down. The patrols, who had lost their view from the vantage points, had to play guerrilla warfare with the adventurers, and they did not know a winner until dawn.

Hidechi looked up at the faintly bright sky, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

He didn't know what it would be like to make a seamless transition from a nighttime dungeon to a daytime dungeon - maybe the night patrols would scatter at dawn, or maybe there would be a double stream of guards to mix and double them. To be on the safe side, you have to get out before dawn.

He looked around and pointed to the rows of straw carts not far away. The juniors who received the order immediately understood, and a destructive ray of light struck it, blasting the straw debris into the air, mixed with the smoke and dust produced during the explosion, and immediately obstructed the view of the pursuers.

- also exposed the figure that was originally hiding behind the straw cart.

Sayo: "......"

Lijiu: "......"

Long Xing: "......"

Xiuzhi looked at the adventurers who were standing there in the shadows, and was dumbfounded.

It's just that the guards who have been smoked several times have already gained experience, and they still run fast with their mouths and noses covered, and they don't have time to use them in a daze. The adventurers had no choice but to continue to flee in confusion.

- The sister and brother who were forced to run away with the large army, and were suddenly pulled into the battlefield by sneaking well, were so angry that they almost breathed fire.

Ten minutes ago, when an explosion was heard outside the window, the people hiding in the second elder's room knew that the opportunity had come.

The brawl led away a lot of guards, and the few remaining patrolmen were no obstacle to Saya. She took her sister and brother all the way silently, avoiding the sight of the guards, and she was able to leave the area of the Elder's Mansion-

Unexpectedly, the other team suddenly changed direction and coincidentally blew up their hideout.

Yichuan Hidezhi knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly said while running: "I'm sorry for causing you to be affected." It's because we didn't think about what we did just now, and I'm here to make amends to the three of them. ”

The three unlucky people who were implicated did not speak, but only buried their heads and ran wildly.

And the leader of the largest group of adventurers had an idea, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity.

Through his subordinates' well-informed intelligence network, he already knew that the only trainer who rejected him was named Beidou, and that he was one of the players who had helped fight the terrorists in the Quartz Alliance. If you can pull this powerful contestant into the gang, you will only make money for them.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed to a sincere and worried tone, "I know that a verbal apology can't make up for the loss of the three of us, how about we cooperate temporarily?" With our strength, as long as we join forces, we must be able to escape safely before dawn, and I can gather the strength of the whole team to help your teammates get out first-"

Before the words fell, Hidechi saw that Beidou, who had been silent, suddenly gestured.

Seconds earlier, the guards chasing behind had just fired flaming arrows that landed on the piles of dead leaves under the trees, sending up a puff of black smoke. At the moment when the dead leaves were burning at their peak, the figures of two dream demons suddenly appeared next to the trainer.

The black air currents whipped up by the strange wind merged with the smoke and dust, and the originally conspicuous white clothes were also dissipated in it. But in the blink of an eye, the two little ghosts had already dragged their trainer into the sky with their mental strength, and they disappeared into the branches and leaves of the cedars. It all happened in a corner covered in black wind and smoke, and no pursuer could notice it.

Beidou turned his head indifferently and threw out the same answer as the first meeting: "Just like this?"

Hidechi: "......"

Hidechi: "Farewell." ”

It was probably because the movement of the battle was too great, and a steady stream of guards were used from different directions, almost surrounding the area around the Elder's Mansion. Yichuan Hidezhi and his party could only circle around the Elder's Mansion, rushing left and right for a long time and failing to escape the encirclement.

His mentality is very good, with the idea of "eliminating it if it's a big deal", and he still has the mind to look left and right to look at the people next to him.

The two Dream Demons had already helped their trainers escape, and most of them would not be able to come back for a while, and the Pokémon that Beidou had chosen, the Pichu that was lying on his shoulder, would have a hard time making a difference in this situation. Perhaps because of this, he had to run away with the contestants who had caused him, instead of choosing to go it alone.

Other words...... If I try to turn the tide and save him once, maybe I can save my impression and even get him to agree to form a team?

Thinking of this, Hidechi Ikawa, who was keen on forming the strongest alliance of adventurers, immediately made a decision.

With a wave of his hand, the unopened Poké Ball on his waist flew high, shining brightly in the night sky.

The dark blue beast appeared in the light, raising its head and letting out a high-pitched roar. The air flow vibrated in all directions along with the sound, causing the guards who rushed to the front to almost stumble and stop in fear.

The Teya Sea Lion is Hidechi's strongest partner. Faced with a group of people who only use cold weapons and ice attribute abilities, he believes that even if there is a huge disparity in the number of enemies and friends, the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion can create a gap for the team.

Hidechi looked at his partner with trust, and was about to give the order when he was suddenly startled.

He saw that the eyes of the sea lion were red.

Before he could react, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him away. At the same time, the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion let out a frenzied roar, and as the storm roared, countless blade-like ice gravels erupted!

Hidechi watched the sharp ice edge land in front of him, and suddenly came back to his senses.

As a veteran who has obtained a professional trainer's license, "how to deal with out-of-control Pokémon" is a compulsory subject that I have long been familiar with. He didn't have time to think about why the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion suddenly went berserk, and he didn't even have time to thank Beidou for saving him, and shouted the order of "all retreat" to the team members at the top of his voice.

The blizzard set off by the Sea Lion of the Emperor Tooth severely affected the trainers' vision, and those who stood a little farther away could not even see what was happening. Seeing that Beidou had already taken away the young people who were too close to the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion, Hidechi grabbed him, pointed at Pichu on his shoulder and shouted, "Electromagnetic waves!"

Beidou made an "OK" gesture, and the whole person suddenly disappeared into the wind and snow. A few seconds later, the lightning enveloped the painful howl of the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion, coming from the direction where the wind and snow were most intense.

I don't know if it was the impact of the blizzard or if I saw that something was wrong, none of the guards on the outermost side rushed in to arrest the contestants, and the two people on the front line of the fierce fight didn't care about this. Trainers dodge ice-edged rubble falling from the sky and battle maddened behemoths, and for Pichu, the densely built alleyways are the perfect battleground. Its small size allowed it to dodge most damage with the help of the terrain, and soon the lost Tooth Sea Lion was caught in the flaw.

The intense electric light pierced the beast's body, causing it to convulse and immobilize for a moment. And Hidechi Ikawa naturally didn't miss this opportunity, and the red light of the Poké Ball pierced through the wind and snow and accurately hit the body of the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion.

The wind and snow finally stopped. Just as Hidechi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a gurgling sound behind him.

He was now facing away from the lookout, and as soon as he turned around, he was stunned by the familiar scorch marks on the wooden pedestal.

The wooden poles, which had been straight, were mottled with burnt black—they had done so to force the guards down. And in the deepest scorched place, there was a huge ice ridge spewed out by the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion.

Before he could realize that something was wrong, the wood, which had been wounded twice in a row, shattered like fragile glass, and the entire lookout lost its balance and collapsed in the direction of the boy.

Hidechi instinctively reached for his waist, but felt empty - the late night Wind and Snow Villa only allowed players to carry one Pokémon, and all the other Poké Balls were left behind.

With a loud bang, the lookout collapsed completely. The smoke and dust that rose from the clouds covered almost the entire Elder's Mansion, and it also woke up all those who were still sleeping.

Beneath the rubble, Hidechi Ikawa's eyes widened in shock.

In the catastrophe like a sky collapse, the dazzling golden thunder light and the clear crystal blue ripples lit up one after another, and then quickly dimmed. And when both barriers were shattered by the overwhelming heavy wood, what stood in his way was a not-so-strong arm.

The white sleeves and gloves of his clean white coat were torn apart, and hot blood dripped down the boy's cheeks.
