No.82 The true face is hidden in the night
At one o'clock in the morning, Wind and Snow Lodge.
"Boss, is it true that we won't be found out if we've been hiding here...... Wow!"
At the end of an alley next to the house, Long Xinggang, who was hiding behind the box, cautiously stretched out half of his head, just in time to see the heavily armed guards passing by the alley, and was so frightened that he quickly retracted back into place.
"No—as long as you don't probe again. The Boss said.
For southerners who are accustomed to swaggering out, the wind and snow villa at night is really too exciting. With the help of Xiao Ye, they finally stumbled out of the house, tossing until they couldn't breathe, and they had just reached the residential area on the opposite side of the road south of the Elder's Mansion.
This alley isn't really a good hiding place. There was only one exit, and there were often guards patrolling back and forth, and it was impossible to get out at the right time—if he hadn't accidentally kicked the fence while walking, attracting the attention of the patrol, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to hide here.
As soon as the thought of "Fortunately, there are Pokémon to help" came to mind, the siblings saw the two Dream Demons fly back in a flutter, and they made frustrated expressions at their trainers.
"Boss, dream demons, talk about it......," Li Jiu's eyes widened, "Illusions are completely useless to the guards at the entrance of the alley and the people on the lookout. ”
The two children looked at each other, only to feel that they had fallen into a desperate situation and could not get out. As the leader of the team, Beidou was very calm, and after softly thanking the dream demon, he pondered to himself.
Even though it was night, the area around the Elder's Mansion was still heavily defended. Not only were patrols of two people moving around frequently, but there were towering lookouts standing at all four corners of the Elder's Mansion. The guards held binoculars and kept an eye on every corner of the house, and it was even more difficult to sneak in.
Xiao Ye originally planned for the Dream Demon to use illusion to deal with the people on the watchtower - the night is a fish-in-water environment for ghost-type Pokémon that can be invisible, and illusion can be described as the racial talent of the Dream Demon clan, even if it has not yet evolved into a dream demon, it is not difficult to disturb a person's five senses in a short period of time.
As for the reason why the Dream Demon's abilities are useless to any patrolman......
Xiao Ye lowered her voice, summoned one of the dream demons, and gave it a few brief commands. The dream demon who got the instruction swooped away, and it didn't take long to bring positive news.
"Isn't it......" The Nanguo sisters and brothers widened their eyes with righteous indignation when they heard this, "This is cheating!"
When they first visited the Wind and Snow Villa, they heard from the owner of the weapon shop that the Warcraft Forest was inhabited by magical beasts who were good at illusions, and that people were often tricked when they went to cut wood. At that time, considering that they all had super-powered or ghost-type Pokémon, they did not buy what the boss called "an incredible necklace that can break all illusions".
It's just that I never expected that this prop was actually the standard equipment of the patrol.
And Xiao Ye also never expected that the necklace with a very magical style sold in the weapon store was not a fake prop, just for the purpose of "discussing with the Pokémon in advance that as long as you see the necklace, don't use illusions", but a genuine technology product that can resist spiritual moves - this is unreasonable, the boxes of necklaces in the store add up to how expensive the cost is!
...... Come back to your senses and think about business first.
Xiao Ye shook his head, looked at the sisters and brothers with grievance and expectation, stuffed Pichu to Li Jiu, and pulled the dream demon in Li Jiu's arms to his shoulder.
"Don't move here, I'll take a look. ”
She stood up, and the moment the patrolman at the entrance of the alley walked past, she jumped up, and trampled on the walls on both sides of the narrow alley several times, almost instantly climbing to the eaves of the three-story house.
The siblings were so frightened that they almost turned into screaming chickens - they could see clearly that there was a guard standing on the roof of the house looking around!
Xiao Ye counted the time for the patrolman at the entrance of the alley to pass again, and when he hung himself in the air with one hand, the other hand had already made the agreed gesture. When the dream demon heard this, he suddenly disappeared and slammed into the straw pile on the other side of the house, and the sound of rustling was extremely harsh in the night.
At the same time that the man on the roof turned his head, the adventurer in the white robe had already rolled over silently. The sloping roof of the house was not wide, and she ran almost along the corners of the guards' clothes, and even her footsteps were precisely in the footprints left by the guards on the snow, and the whole person was like a fluttering feather, silently skimming over the roof, and submerged in the shade of the cedar trees beside the house.
In the darkless night, the white, which should have been conspicuous, almost completely dissolves into the shadows. The patrolman who passed by the alley again and the guard on the roof turned his head at the same time, and could only catch a glimpse of a light wind rolling up the fine snow, and there was no other trace.
And at this moment, the adventurer is only one step away from the lookout.
The Terashima siblings, who were hiding in the box, had no idea what the boss had done, so they could only poke Pichu's cheek with question marks to pass the time. And the audience in the live broadcast room who witnessed this scene has already cheered.
[Mom, it's absolutely amazing]
[I'd like to call those ten seconds a standard assassin operation www]
[I just said that they are in a dead end, and they can't run away unless they teleport, so they come out and get beaten]
[Correct what I just said: they are in a dead end, and normal humans can't run away unless they teleport (smile)]
[Beidou, a man who invalidates the night patrol configuration map drawn by the great god of research.jpg]
【...... If you can't write the paper, you can just click on the live broadcast room to wake up your mind, may I ask everyone, are all contemporary trainers in my country like this?]
[It is recommended that Meng Xin treat this person as a Pokémon, our trainers will not fly off the wall :)]
[Who said no, I will, who didn't climb the wall every day when he was a child]
【...... Ahead, the Orange Islanders, right?]
Different from the barrage with sand sculpture as the main theme, there are many data schools in the comment area as always, analyzing the comprehensive strength of the contestants one by one. As a novice-level regional league player who only reached the top four, Beidou barely escaped from the bottom circle of combat power, so as not to be ridiculed immediately;
Unlike Pokémon battles, the trainer's skills are in a field that only actual combat practitioners will be exposed to. Netizens who are only good at watching games and studying the arena couldn't analyze what was going on for a while, and finally came to a hasty conclusion that most of this person had received professional training in a trainer training academy or military academy.
On the other side, against the bitter cold wind, Xiao Ye has begun to march towards the top of the observatory.
Thanks to the meticulous construction of the Himi family's scene, the observatory is all made of wood using old-time techniques, without the slightest smooth concrete, which brings a lot of convenience to adventurers to climb. Sheltered by the tall cedars, she climbed effortlessly along the wooden frame, and soon reached the feet of the only guard on the platform.
The style of the observatory is exactly a replica of the appearance of the military camp in ancient times, and the top of the platform is surrounded by high spiked fences on three sides, and only the front opening is convenient for access up and down and reconnaissance. This also means that Saya can't sneak up from behind at all, and can only climb the lookout from the front, and the alarm bell is at the guard's hand, once the guard detects the anomaly and rings the alarm bell, the infiltrator will inevitably be surrounded by groups and it will be difficult to escape.
Xiao Ye looked at the little dream demon that was obediently glued to his shoulder, and did not send it out again.
The adventurer took out a fork from his bosom - it was the cutlery that came with the adventurer's bag issued by the Himi family, but Xiao Ya really didn't have the habit of running to the field to eat with the fork, so he never used it - aimed at the tall wall of the Elder's Mansion in front of him and threw it fiercely.
The sound of forks clashing against the wooden wall was audible, and the guards were immediately alert, leaning forward to look at the source of the sound. At the same time, the adventurer hanging from the bottom of the platform quickly pulled out a somewhat bulky object.
She straightened her arm, flipped her wrist, and pulled the trigger without looking, as soon as the muzzle of the gun poked out of the wooden platform. The projectile shot out silently and accurately hit the guard in the jaw.
Hearing the sound of a body falling to the ground overhead, the guess in Xiaoye's heart settled. In the shot, the figure behind the full screen "666" quickly climbed onto the high platform.
As a wealthy aristocrat in the script, the Himi family naturally provides adventurers with more than just an iron sword. The daggers needed to dissect prey, the short axes that can cut off the branches and leaves that block the way, and all kinds of tools, but many people dislike them for being too heavy, and they are all left at home and unwilling to take them out.
Among the weapons provided by the Himi family, there is a very special air gun - the manual says that this air gun has ten arrows quenched with anesthetic, and as long as it is shot, whether it is a human or a huge monster, it will immediately fall down and fall asleep for at least a few hours.
This is supposed to be a very powerful weapon, but after the Terashima siblings tried it, they found that the range of the air gun was less than ten meters, and the operation was so troublesome that they immediately threw it to the bottom of their bags and forgot about it.
- Of course, Sayo knows that unlike the necklace, the so-called anesthetic is definitely fake. Not to mention that the test was shot with a plastic ball...... With the style of the people of the southern country, they can definitely do the heartless thing of "walking on the edge of the cliff while playing with weapons and accidentally cutting their hands and suddenly falling down the mountain in a coma", the Bingjian family does not dare to joke about the safety of the contestants' lives, even if the contestants have no strings in their heads.
The eyelids of the "unconscious man" in front of him twitched from time to time, obviously pretending to be asleep dutifully. Xiao Ye verbally said "I'm sorry", but he didn't feel empty at all, and he searched out the unified style token used for the guard handover by two, and put it in his bag.
She then moved the sleeping guard inside to prevent him from falling. After doing all this, the adventurer stood up.
Standing in the best position of the lookout, she cast her gaze into the distance before observing the Elder's Mansion. The gray wind-swept mountains were blurred in the night, and only the peaks could be faintly seen rising from the ground, and the tops were submerged in the gloomy clouds.
In the dream, the scene of the sacred birds killing each other on the top of the snowy mountain is still vivid, which makes people feel chills involuntarily.
Long before coming to Nepuru Island, Xiao Ya had thought about what that eerie dream meant countless times. After connecting everything together, she gradually gave birth to a terrible guess.
Maybe it was just a trivial possibility—if she hadn't arrived at Tangerine Island and entered the Valley of Flames at the right time, she might have been left standing on the opposite shore of the island and watching the tragedy unfold feebly, unable to lend a helping hand to anyone.
Or maybe that's not a possibility.
The scorched earth world is not the "future", but the "past" that has already happened. If the world has already been destroyed once, then ...... Could the death of the Flame People, the fight and sacrifice of the Niwa God and the Frozen Bird be the result of the lack of interference from "foreign bodies", the first step to destruction?
Only this time, what she saw was not the "past" at the current point in time, but the "future". That bad dream was too much of a warning – but the presence of an "early warning" meant that everything could change.
I'm not going to let that happen. The traveler of the other world thought.
After a few seconds to gather her thoughts, she looked intently at the Elder's Mansion.
At the end of the alley, the Terashima siblings are waiting restlessly.
Long Xing opened his mouth to propose, "Shall we go out and see where the boss has gone?" - before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a loud explosion.
The peculiar sound of the shadow ball hitting the ground came to his ears, causing the boy to be slightly stunned, and he realized something dimly. The next moment, the guards wandering at the entrance of the alley followed the sound and left, and the dream demon of Long Xing suddenly burst out of the trainer's arms and flew forward as if he had heard some invisible sound.
The sister and brother didn't have time to think about it, and ran after the dream demon according to the plan of action that had been discussed. Turning around to the side of the road, the dream demon suddenly stopped again and floated into the bushes on the side. The Terashima siblings followed suit, and as soon as they hid the corners of their clothes, they heard footsteps, and a large number of guards who heard the explosion rushed by, their boots kicking away almost under their noses.
Ghost Pokémon have far more sensitive senses than humans. They are able to sense small fluctuations in mental power, and some can also sense the emotional fluctuations of their trainers as a result. The three-person team took advantage of this characteristic to achieve long-distance communication - when Xiao Ye commanded the Dream Demon to perform the "Spirit Wave" move, the little ghost who stayed with the siblings could almost immediately detect the mental power of their good partner. And the code they agreed on is also very simple.
Sending out a spirit wave once is to "go along the agreed course", and another is to "stop moving forward and find cover". Standing on the lookout, Nighta has the best view, enough to see all the guards' movements, allowing her teammates on the ground to travel safely away from the patrols. As for emitting two spirit waves in a row—
The dream demon of the dragon star didn't care to adjust his posture, bit Pichu's ear, and flew off into the distance with the electric mouse in his mouth. The siblings were dumbfounded, for fear that Pichu would not be able to resist discharging them on the spot and electrifying them as well - fortunately, Pichu was accustomed to the ghost-type Pokémon's bewitching behavior, and controlled himself maturely and calmly. Two seconds later, a dazzling flash of lightning rose from the courtyard in front of the Elder's Mansion.
In the dark night, the electric light was as bright as a meteor falling to the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The Terashima siblings heard a noisy shout immediately from inside the Elder's Mansion, and the next moment, the leader of the team came out of nowhere, grabbed the two of them, and rushed towards the Elder's Mansion.
As if ink was dripping into clear water, the strict and flawless guard configuration in the Elder's Mansion was thrown into chaos. Taking advantage of the fact that the guards were all rushing to the front court in a chaotic manner, Xiao Ye carried two teammates over the wall and jumped over the fence, and within a few seconds approached the target location - the bedroom of the second elder was located in the southwest corner of the elder's mansion, coupled with the right amount of shadows and trees, the people on the other three observation towers could not detect the presence of the intruder at all.
Instead of choosing the main gate, which was guarded by numerous guards, the adventurer went around to the backyard where the second elder lived. When the siblings finally landed on their feet, they saw that the boss was retracting the air gun, and the only guard in front of the backyard door had fallen to the ground.
They were only a corridor away from the house, and Lijiu had even seen the commotion outside turn on the lights inside, and a figure got up, coughing and looking at the window. And just as they were about to sneak in, the fallen guard suddenly let out a deafening snoring!
The siblings stood tall for a moment - there were still two guards standing at the end of the corridor!
Seeing the sound of doubtful inquiries and footsteps, the two children stiffened with nervousness, and all the blood rushed into their brains. And at the moment when the courtyard door was pushed open, their boss moved.
The opening of the wooden door and the take-off of the adventurer took place almost at the same time. At the moment when the two guards stepped out of the backyard, the young man in the white robe flew up like snowflakes, climbed over the small courtyard wall just right, and fell into the courtyard.
She knew that after detecting that her partner had been plotted, the guards would definitely increase their efforts to search the surroundings, and there was no hiding place in the backyard of only a section of the cloister. Thinking of this, Xiao Ye rushed forward without hesitation, pushed open the back door before the guards turned to look back, and rushed straight into the second elder's bedroom!
At this moment, outside the room, angry guards sounded the alarm, and large groups of black-clad Himi clansmen searched around, trying to find traces of the intruders.
Inside the room, the intruders' expressions were almost frozen on their faces.
The young adventurers stiffened their heads and looked at the "person" in front of them who had almost collided with them.
The figure they saw through the window paper, trembling and coughing—
It's a huge ice puppet.
