238. Day and night are mixed
The sky obscured by black clouds, the dim, icy and damp square, and the ruins of broken stone buildings create a bleak and lonely atmosphere on a drizzly night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A burly man in a black oil-stained jumpsuit wore a white mask, and behind the hollow eyes of the mask, two yellow eyes were flowing with a vicious and fierce light.
"The premise of using this prop is that you have to ring it three times?"
The night owl held the purple-black glowing Soul Suppression Bell in one hand, and leaned over with the short dagger handle in the other hand, gently tapping the surface of the Soul Suppression Bell.
When!
This quaint iron bell made a sound that was not too thick, and the purple light on the surface of the iron bell seemed to become a little richer.
The night owl struck a second and third times in quick succession, and with each bell ringing, the purple-black light became noticeably thicker.
It wasn't until the end of the third bell that the night owl noticed that his body was gradually and rapidly engulfed by a cold and strange flame, and then a strange ripple appeared on the edge of the view, giving the impression of looking through the lens of a telescope.
Looking down at his body, he noticed that he had become a near-transparent form, somewhat like a chameleon's disguise, blending in with the surrounding landscape, which was difficult to discern from a distance alone unless he was close enough.
Then, as he stepped forward, he felt as if he had entered a flickering form of movement, capable of stepping several meters in one step, although this speed was a match for the speed of the chainsaw when he turned on, but it was a completely different feeling from the chainsaw's drag car-like movement.
"Being able to maintain this speed for an infinite amount of time is very useful for scouting the scene and finding people."
The Night Stalker moves quickly as he activates the [Blood Tracking] skill - the female Survivor who used the [Meg Thomas] Transmog Card is seriously injured and dying, leaving traces of blood in her path, and the Blood Tracking ability is specifically designed to deal with this situation.
After searching in both directions and finding no blood, the third direction to the south of the scene shows a few drops of blood on the wet stone floor that have almost disappeared.
It was right in that direction.
After finding his way, the night owl immediately rushed over there.
……
It has been a long time since the appearance of the second daylight hour.
The limited daylight hours of Soul Town are governed by the Soul Bell, and Philip, the betrayer who controls the Soul Bell, has no time to ring the Soul Bell because of the interference of the Survivors, which delays the arrival of daylight here by nearly two times.
The time of this scene was originally mixed between day and night, and the betrayers tried to upset this balance and completely plunge the town into darkness, so they had to constantly ring the bell in advance or late to disrupt the time order of the bell. When it really needs to be fixed, it no longer rings the soul bell, allowing day to be replaced by night.
Now that the Soul Suppression Bell has fallen into the hands of the Night Stalker, it is very coincidental that the original daylight point also happened to arrive at this time......
The Night Stalker, in his stealth disguise, was moving rapidly, his unrecognizable figure flickering in the darkness.
Even with the assistance of the bloodstain tracking ability, because of the delay in the middle, the bloodstains on the ground are already in the stage of being erased by the system, and they cannot accurately guide the direction of the killer, plus the two survivors of the blue sea must have done some anti-reconnaissance means, which makes it impossible for the night stalker to immediately lock the target direction in a short time.
Suddenly, at this time, he noticed a strange calling voice that suddenly appeared, and it was passing through the soul bell in his hand, conveying some message to him.
At this moment, the Soul Bell turned into something of a signal-like object.
The night owl stopped in an instant, held the soul bells in his hands to his ears, and listened to the voice with bated breath for a while.
The sound sounds like a singing voice at first, or like a special sound effect made of multiple voices mixed together, and the substance is not audible.
But when this strange voice lasted for nearly ten seconds, it suddenly stopped, and then a cold voice without any mood fluctuations suddenly said: The time is - 6 o'clock!
"6 o'clock? Is this the exact time in the scene?
Tell me the exact time, do you want me to ring the bell as many times as I want? ”
Only this explanation makes sense, because the cold voice that announces the time can only be conveyed to the ears of the night owl through the soul bell.
"Then ...... Give it a try! ”
So the night owl struck the soul bell in his hand again with the handle of the dagger according to the rule of striking the bell at 6 o'clock.
Dangdangdang...... Dangdangdang......
The strange thing is that the bell that rang this time turned out to be the same constant volume again, and the bell could be clearly heard no matter where you were in the scene.
In addition, even if the bell was struck three times by the night owl for the second time, he did not break away from the state of stealth and camouflage, as if the bell ringing this time was not related to the special effects on the soul bell.
"No, isn't it right, usually after this kind of bell, there will be a daytime area in the scene?"
The time of daylight is usually half a minute after the bell has struck......
"It seems that the daylight hours of this scene are controlled by this clock!
According to the simple addition and subtraction calculation, 6 bells represent the number 6, 12-6 = 6? The next daylight is at 6 o'clock! ”
The Night Stalker quickly figured out where the next daylight zone would appear.
"The daytime area is inaccessible to the killer, it is equivalent to a refuge for the escapee, and if the other party has a wounded person who needs urgent treatment, then the healer is likely to take the injured teammate to a safe daytime area for treatment.
So I'd be better off getting around 6 o'clock in advance. ”
There was nothing wrong with the logic of the Night Stalker's idea, but what happened half a minute later was completely unexpected by the Night Stalker......
The area of daylight did appear, but this time the area that appeared was a little too big.
The black clouds in the sky were torn apart by the light, and the light of the day fanned out, and began to dispel the darkness and spread more light to the cold town below.
In the circular scene, one-sixth of the area was soon shrouded in light, and the cold and dark town buildings below soon became distinctly colored, the moisture near the ground was evaporated by the warm light, and the black stone floor was painted with a layer of pure white and clean light.
The range continued to expand, and after a dozen or so seconds, the light finally stopped its continued expansion, and exactly half of the entire scene was already shrouded in light.
The vast town of Mourning presents two different extremes, with light and darkness splitting each other, and the whole scene is darkened in a strange black and white.
In a short time, in the area covered by the light and daylight, in the houses located at a special point in time, many scene creatures with thin and tall bodies, wearing white cloaks and wooden masks on their faces, gradually moved closer to the tower-shaped building in the middle of the scene, and knelt down to worship the tower-shaped building after taking two steps.
The night owl looked at the top of the tower-shaped building, the deep mist that shrouded it was dispelled in the light, and a figure in a black trench coat was half-kneeling at the top of the tower-shaped building, maintaining a 'contemplative' posture and motionless, like a sculpture, and the hem of the black trench coat dancing in the wind proved that this was not a simple sculpture.
