Chapter 127: A Temporary Refuge
The small dark gray door closed again, dividing the inside and outside of the door into two worlds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Behind the door was a single upward staircase for only one person, Alice and Zero wanted to go up the stairs, but Qiyue stopped first, turned around, and looked at Alice carefully, her eyes were full of disbelief.
"I didn't believe it just now, you... Is that really that kid? Still fighting that monster that woke up?"
"It's me. Alice didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, looked around, and then retracted the magic that covered her hands, and looked at Qi Yue with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
"But, it's a shame that you can see clearly in this environment and find this kind of safe place. ”
The basement of the building is completely opaque, filled with darkness everywhere, and there is even a black mist in the air that obstructs the view.
Alice and Zero Face are different from ordinary people, and it is not uncommon for them to be able to see with their own special strength, but Qi Yue has no ability, and she does not carry any high-tech on her body, so she can actually do it, which is a little unreasonable.
"Don't be surprised, I've been able to hold on until now, in fact, it's just luck, and my so-called "seeing" is just a trick, and it's not like you, but you, now it doesn't seem like you need other people's protection at all. ”
Qi Yue shook her head, looking at Alice's eyes flashing with a complex light, and at the same time stretched out her hand in front of her, opening the palm that had been clenched, revealing a diamond-shaped crystal that shimmered with a pale red light.
"I'm just using it and other senses instead of sight, mainly by directing the intensity of the red flashes, and hearing, and, a little luck... If it hadn't been for it, I would have been eaten by that monster a long time ago. ”
"This is, guide, this thing is with you. Looking at the diamond-shaped crystal that illuminated Qi Yue's hand to dispel a small cloud of darkness, Alice suddenly realized that Yang Hongtang had said that the "guide" had disappeared with Qiyue, and now this thing is not strange in her hands.
"But this thing is really, weirdly ... Alice leaned forward, and the pitch-black magic pupils stared directly at the flickering red light in the "guidance", but in this way, it also allowed Qi Yue to use her own eyes to truly confirm Alice's current appearance for the first time.
"What's wrong with your eyes, your eyes. ”
At this moment, Qi Yue did not have the sense of security of seeing acquaintances, but stared at Alice's strange eyes, and took two steps back in horror.
In order to see in the dark, Alice's eyes had already been rendered black by her own magic, leaving only a pair of golden pupils that shimmered with a shimmering light, but Qi Yue obviously couldn't accept this magical painting style.
Alice sighed helplessly, but there was nothing she could do, she could only sigh in her heart for two words, "stupid human", and at the same time put her hands on her chest, raised her chin and pointed to Zero.
"Don't worry about that, my eyes are only temporarily like this to get used to the darkness, and don't you see that the guy next to you still has a light in his eyes? This building is very weird, you have to put common sense aside for a while, learn to accept new things, and don't make a fuss at every turn. ”
"Hello, my name is Zhang Cheng, I joined the team after you, that, please try not to care about my mask if you can, this thing can't be taken off, at least in this building... Seeing that the senior sister mentioned herself, Zero Mian also took two steps forward, grabbed her hair a little unnaturally, dimmed the light through the mask's eyelid slightly, and then stretched out her right hand to Qi Yue after making a brief self-introduction.
As for Ying, she didn't appear in front of Qi Yue, she had already taken advantage of the gap just now to return to Alice's earrings, and even used a blinding method from the beginning of seeing Qi Yue, and she didn't let the other party notice her from the beginning.
"Hello... Seeing that Zero Mian stretched out his hand, Qi Yue was embarrassed to hang the other party, and also held Zero Mian's hand, coupled with the very friendly attitude of Alice and Zero Noodles, the excitement just now gradually calmed down, and she was no longer entangled in the changes in Alice's eyes.
"Qiyue, you've been here for a lot longer than we have, so I want to know more about this basement and the monster outside, and I hope you can tell me both. The two shook hands, and after a brief acquaintance, they each stepped aside, but Zero Side stopped her, and her voice became rarely serious, and the two holes in the ghost mask pointed straight at the female college student.
"Of course, I'll tell you everything I know, but this is not the place to talk, you come with me first, I have something to ask you. Qi Yue nodded, took a deep breath, turned around, and illuminated the stone staircase under her feet with the dim red light in her hand, ignoring whether Alice and Zero Face were following or not, and walked straight upstairs.
The stairs were very narrow, probably half the length of a normal adult's outstretched arms, not enough for two people to walk side by side, of course, no one cared about this in this case, but they had their own thoughts, but their footsteps did not stop, and they walked through the entire staircase in a short time.
Above the staircase was a small room, empty, with no bookshelves, no decoration, and no hidden storage room, except for a worn-out chair, a long iron table inlaid on the floor, and a large iron window above the table.
The iron table was placed next to the wall near the basement side, and the iron window occupied the entire upper part of the wall.
However, it is more like a huge iron plate with rows of neat holes that have been buckled out, and through these gaps, you can just see the open space the size of half a football field outside.
Alice stepped forward, looked at the movements of the human monster outside the window through the heavy iron window, and breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't know what the ball that Qi Yue threw that could emit purple smoke was, but that thing could at least calm the monster for a while, and it could be regarded as a little relief in her heart.
After all, the monster's power is very strong, not to mention being able to break her shield, and even damage the weapon she has condensed with magic power, although the monster is a little unsatisfactory in terms of defense, but the recovery power is very amazing, in the case of no preparation, a person who is not careful is likely to suffer, and he is really a strong enemy.
In addition, the lower body of the monster is still trapped in the broken roller shutter door, and it has not shown its real strength, so after it gets out of the trap, it is likely to be stronger than Alice expected.
Taking her eyes back from the monster's body, Alice looked at Qi Yue who was holding the "red flashlight" again, but found that while she was looking out, the two had already chatted and began to exchange information about each other, and Alice was also happy to be idle, and did not talk much, but sat directly at the only table in the room.
Qi Yue helped up the chair on the ground that had been knocked over at some point, then looked at Zero and pushed the chair forward.
"Sit?"
"No, sit down, I actually want to know more about the monster outside. Zero Noodles shook his head, his eyes burned, his hands were slightly uneasy, there were no so-called polite words, he almost went straight to the point, and threw out the things he wanted to know the most.
"Monster?" Qi Yue was stunned at first after sitting down, and then showed a helpless wry smile. "I don't know much, but when I first came to this place, it wasn't here. ”
"Not here?" Zero was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed slightly, a little puzzled, but a little surprised.
"Well, no. Speaking of this, Qi Yue sighed again, lowered her head slightly, and there was a kind of weakness in her tone. "I should say that I released that thing. ”
"What does that mean? Not only was Zero Faced confused, but even Alice, who had been listening to the side, was a little confused, so what did she say about it, could it be that the monster was locked up somewhere?
That's what it means literally. Qi Yue paused, got up from her chair, walked to a corner of the room, reached out and picked up a broken wooden pole from the ground, and threw it to Zero Side, while pointing to the groove on the right side of the iron table.
"I also learned later that the iron table is the console of the basement roller shutter door, and the wooden pole on it is the switch of the roller shutter door, and something was locked in it, and I only tried it out of curiosity at the time, but after hearing the roar of the thing, it was too late to regret it, even if the wooden poles were broken, I couldn't close the roller shutter door again. ”
"As for the rest... Similar to the monster's weakness or life, I don't know, I'm different from the little girl, I don't have special strength and strong combat effectiveness, so I can't find any decent information, and I can only survive until now by "guidance" and good luck, plus this. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Yue reached out and untied a black waist pin pinned to his back, took out the only black ball in it, and handed it to Zero Side, which was the bomb that could spit out lilac smoke.
"This is something extra on my body when I woke up.,I thought it was a bomb or something.,But after using it, I realized.,Its effect is probably to make a monster within a certain range fall asleep for a short time.,But there are also a lot of restrictions.,In addition to being useless to ordinary people.,Some intense stimulation can also make the monster regain consciousness.。 ”
Another strange kind of "initial equipment", Alice thought so, took the purple smoke bomb from Zero Face's hand, carefully examined it, and threw it back to Qi Yue.
"Do you still have anything like that? How much is left? ”
Qi Yue pursed her lips and shook her head slightly. "No, this is the last one now, there were originally four, but I was afraid that the monster would come out of the shutter door and destroy this iron window, so I used it first, and thanks to the fact that it was trapped by the door, the smoke could take effect. ”
Watching Qi Yue stuff the only remaining bomb back into her bag, Zero Mian seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Qi Yue with some doubts.
"You've been missing for so long, and you've been hiding here, since the monster's movement has stopped, why don't you take the elevator over there to meet us, it should not be far from here." ”
"What elevator? Is there any elevator here?" Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, and her expression showed a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know that there was such a thing.
"Don't you know? The elevator is not far from here, and you can get out of here and go back to the upper floor. Seeing Qi Yue's puzzled expression, Zero Face was also a little surprised, obviously the elevator was not far from here, and she had a "guide" in her hand, how could she not notice.
Maybe she really didn't notice. Alice jumped off the iron table and shook her head at Zero with an unbelieving expression.
"The "guide" is just a device that points to a safe area, and unlike us, she can't see anything outside clearly, and it is understandable that she didn't notice the elevator, after all, it doesn't use electricity and doesn't emit light. ”
"It's also ... Zero scratched his head, and felt that it was a bit of a matter of taking it for granted, indeed, it was indeed difficult to spot the elevator at the end of the wall when the vision was basically lost.
"But now that we know where the remaining keys are, there's no hurry, and we'll send you upstairs to meet them first, and we'll do the rest." Alice groaned for a while, rubbed her eyebrows slightly, and then walked to the staircase, beckoning to Zero and Qiyue.
"Let's go now, it's early, try not to delay. ”
"Thank you, if you hadn't come, I might have had to wait until the bombs ran out and I died at the hands of that thing, or starved to death. Qi Yue nodded, but before leaving, she opened one of the two drawers under the iron table, took out a half-eaten bread and a small half bottle of water, and put them in the waist bag behind her back, but after that, she suddenly asked a question that no one could answer normally for Alice and Zero Noodles.
She smiled a little embarrassedly and tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if she was asking about something that was a little difficult to tell.
"To be honest, I don't want to know much, I just want to know how everyone is now, I disappeared suddenly, I don't know about others, but it may be a big blow to Sun Yuxuan, so... Hey, I just want to know if he's okay?"
