Chapter 64: The Darkness Reappears (Part 2)
In fact, when he chased and killed the old one-eyed before, when he passed by this study, he had observed the candles on the long table.
At that time, the candles did not have much wax and oil, and they were close to the extent that the oil ran out and the lamps withered.
And now, the situation looks similar, but a little different.
Because the little wax oil left on the table seems to have been tampered with, and the amount has been reduced by more than half out of thin air.
To put it simply, the wax oil, which used to last for half an hour, can now only be burned for ten minutes.
Because the gap is so small, it's hard to see.
In addition, it was deliberately covered up, and if it wasn't a close and careful observation, it really couldn't be seen.
"Do you ...... to do anything with candles?"
Multiply.
As soon as the Baya knight thought of this, the candle in front of him just burned out the last bit of wax oil, and a trace of white smoke came out, which was extinguished in an instant.
"Coincidence? Or ......"
Cold sweat crept onto the baya knight's forehead.
If this is not a coincidence, then the extinguishing of the candle now is a result of someone else's precise calculation and calculation to this point in time......
Hiss –
The Baya Knight couldn't help but gasp and looked around.
"If it's really a calculated ......"
Zizizizi
In the next moment, the candlelight in the four corners was extinguished one after another as he thought.
The familiar darkness has descended again.
The whole room was pitch black, except for the open door at the entrance, which shone in a faint light.
Compared to the size of the entire study, it seems so insignificant.
With a chill in his heart, the Baya knight subconsciously rolled on the spot and got under the long table.
Puff, puff.
His heart started beating faster.
Among them, there are not only the reasons for the excitement of meeting the master, but also the normal physiological reaction caused by the intensification of poisoning.
"It's the player! This technique, this trap, is definitely designed by the player! ”
"And the level of the game is definitely not weak, and the experience is experienced!"
From the details of the extinguishing of the candle, the Baya knight deduced a lot of information.
Leaning down and keeping his ears to the ground, the Bayan Knight nervously listened nervously to the sounds around him.
It's a pity that he didn't hear anything except the rustling sound of flipping books on the long table above.
"Whether it's that he doesn't move, or it's so skilled that he can walk without making any noise."
Without the foreshadowing, the Baya Knight would simply think that the other party was not moving.
But now, the Baya knights had to raise their guesses about the strength of the enemy.
"Should we go out and search, or should we stay here?"
The previous roll caused a lot of movement.
The Baya knight was sure that the other party must have heard.
"Spending scheming and setting up such a game must be trying to kill me."
"Now that I know where I am, there's no reason to let it go."
The Bayan knight quietly drew the two daggers from his waist, his expression becoming focused, his ears still close to the ground.
In his current position, he could barely see something clearly with the faint light from the doorway.
Although it is a large area of darkness and shadow, it is a little different from being completely invisible.
Obviously, if you really want to fight, this position has a certain advantage.
This is also the reason why the Baya Knights are struggling with whether to take the initiative or defend passively.
Bang.
At this moment, a slight sound came from the southwest corner of the study room.
Although the voice was soft, it was still keenly captured by the Baya Knight.
The Baya Knight's eyes lit up suddenly.
"That guy can't see either!"
"In the southwest corner, there is not enough light source. The sound just now should have been when he moved, touching the bookcase! ”
Quickly deducing these two pieces of information, the Baya Knight excitedly quietly left the long table and groped in the direction of the source of the sound.
As you move away from the long table, the light source becomes thinner.
The shadows and darkness began to merge into each other, and even the outlines were difficult to distinguish.
As the distance approached, the Baya knight tightened his grip on the dagger and lowered his footsteps more and more secretively.
At the same time, his body bowed slightly, ready to strike with all his strength at any time.
This feeling of darkness and silence, wandering on the edge of life and death. made his adrenaline soar, and the whole person trembled a little with excitement.
"It's the right thing to come to the new district, but there is no chance in the old district...... Hey?! ”
The Baya knight stopped suddenly, and the whole person couldn't help but pause slightly.
Because under the faint light source, a shadow was faintly displayed on the edge of the bookcase in front of it.
The shadow takes on a human form, standing still, motionless.
"Someone hiding behind a bookshelf?!"
"It's only a bookshelf away from where the noise came from."
"Could it be that the previous noise was deliberately created by him as a bait, while he was hiding here, preparing to carry out a sneak attack?"
"It's a pity that he seems to have guessed the wrong direction I came from and ambushed in the wrong place!"
With a gleam in his eyes, the Baya Knight retracted his breath and silently approached the shadow.
At the same time, his brain was running at high speed.
"Wait a minute, would that kind of master make such a mistake? No way! A master who can calculate the time for a candle to go out to such an extent is definitely not to be underestimated, let alone make such a low-level mistake! ”
"So the shadow in front must be a bait, so where will the back hand and the killing move be? Is there a trap around it, or is that shadow a trick? ”
His eyes looked around, but because of the faint light source, the Baya knight didn't see any problems.
"It's not an option to wait like this."
"If you stay still, sooner or later you will be discovered by the other party."
"When the time comes, the efforts that can not be lurked will be in vain...... Wait a minute! ”
The Baya Knight's pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he found that the humanoid shadow in front of him actually moved, and quietly retracted his body in the direction of the bookcase.
"Alive?! It's a real person! He's using himself as bait! ”
Breathing became rapid again, and the Baya Knight suddenly erupted!
With a slam kick under his feet, he completely let go of the restraints and raised his speed to the extreme.
"In that case, let's gamble. Did I kill you first, or did you set up the second hand to launch first! ”
There was a roar in his heart, and his face became hideous.
The Baya knight turned into a black shadow and sprinted away.
The dagger in his hand flickered coldly, and the cold air was pressing.
From the outbreak of the Baya Knight to the approach to the humanoid shadow, it only took a little more than a second.
The humanoid shadow behind the bookcase, as if it was slow to react, finally made a move at this moment.
It was a strange posture that seemed to be panicked to the extreme, and even the body was a little twisted and dancing.
And as the movement progressed, the humanoid shadow not only did not choose to retreat, but leaned out.
