016. The glowing chalice
This middle-aged woman is none other than the Gypsy Wanderer among the 9 identities of the Survivors, and her identity ability is divination - find the other 8 identities and inquire about their identities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The woman shuffled the divination card in her hand and turned over the first card on top of the pile.
She only glanced at the cards and closed her eyes mysteriously, and after shaking her hands in front of the sleepless night for a while, she opened her eyes and exclaimed with an unfathomable face: "There is a treasure in the hands of the priest, which can make you invincible, and that is the key to your victory over your opponent." ”
Uh, what the hell is going on? How did this script become more and more fantastical?
I couldn't sleep at night, but I still went to the priest in the church according to the gypsy girl's wishes.
"Young man, although I don't know where you learned about the treasure of the Holy Grail, I am still willing to help you and lend it to you, so that you can find the murderer as soon as possible."
The priest drew a cross on his chest with a kind face, turned and walked to the back of the church, and soon took a pure gold chalice emitting a faint golden light and handed it to the sleepless hand.
- System Prompt: You have obtained the treasure 'Glowing Holy Grail', you can use this treasure for the next two points in time, and the treasure will be automatically returned after the time limit.
【Glowing Holy Grail】
【Quality: Excellent】
[Usage: Mission supplies (temporary loan)]
[Special Effect: Unleashes a bright light to protect you from the killer.] 】
[Notes: This cup was once crafted into an evil device called the 'Horcrux' by a powerful dark magician, and it was eventually purified by a boy named Ali Potter and passed down as a family heirloom to this day.] 】
This remark...... It's really powerless. ”
Sleepless at night, he rolled his eyes and accepted the priest's gift.
……
Since the timing has been synchronized, the Night Stalker has also been given a chance to hunt and feed the cubs at the 'Crime Scene' time.
This seems to be a way to make the game more difficult for killer players, but there are actually pros and cons.
Because the monster is afraid of light, it can't enter the 'real world' during the day to hunt, so at this point in time, the monster can only go to trouble the search team stationed in the parallel world, and the three police officers of the search team are all carrying firearms and have a certain threat to the killer.
Profit always comes with risk, and it depends on the choice of the killer player. If you want to win safely, you can give up the chance to kill at this point in time, so it just takes a little more time, and if you dare to take risks, you can also try to challenge the three search officers, which can speed up the process of the killer's mission and win the game earlier.
Night Stalker falls into the latter category, and a large part of his choice to take the risk is due to the role of the painter, who is really eye-catching in the game and is a destabilizing factor in the game. If the Night Stalker wants to win without fail, he has to play hard and avoid making a mistake in the hands of this player.
At the 'scene of the crime', the three search officers will split up to conduct a search operation, with two officers patrolling the streets near the gap in time and space, and one officer staying at the gap to guard the door.
Because three of the nine Survivor identities have been reduced by two, Survivor players at this stage are no longer able to win the game by killing monsters.
The night stalker basically has no opponents, so he doesn't care much about the loss of health, and immediately attacks after encountering 2 patrol officers in the town, and chooses to be tough head-on.
Weaker than hunters, less physically than veterans, and less intelligent than the Survivors, the Night Stalkers kill them and bring them back to their lair to feed them.
The last two-fifths of the progress bar remains.
Then came the third hunting night, and the night owl once again took advantage of the darkness to open a gap in a deserted alley in the town, and successfully found a skinny little girl with a shaved head hiding in the alley.
This is a superpowered little girl in 9 identities, and the identity ability is to use telekinesis to temporarily bind monsters.
Her identity ability is the perfect partner for the hunter, one control and one output, and the night owl has no way to survive when it encounters it. But now there was no danger if the little girl was alone, and she didn't last long before she was seriously injured and captured under the vicious attack of the night owl.
When he returned to his lair deep in the fir woods, the night owl saw from a distance that the escapee, who was playing the role of a painter, was standing next to the pit, holding a paintbrush and sketchbook in his hand, quickly recording the scene in the pit.
Seeing the night owl come back, this guy has no fear, and he can calmly turn around and smile at the killer, and the paintbrush in his hand does not stop.
What kind of protection do you have on your body? Dare to come to the door so blatantly?
The night owl dropped his prey and was about to approach him with a roar, when the painter quickly pulled out a golden chalice from his pocket and held it high in front of him.
The Holy Grail suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, forming a circle of light, and the light curtain enveloped the painter.
The Night Stalker also received a message from the system - the monster was afraid of the glare light, and the Night Stalker could not approach the painter holding the Holy Grail.
This is...... Father's Holy Grail?!
The night owl who had read the guide saw what was in the painter's hand at a glance, and was slightly surprised.
Yes, as mentioned in the guide, when the Survivor player is reduced to less than three people, the system will arrange for another 4 players who are not controlled by the player to assist the Survivor player.
At present, among the remaining identities, only the priest and the gypsy wanderer, both of which are auxiliary identities and do not pose much of a threat.
It can be seen from the fact that the search team entering the parallel world has not increased, and the current level of vigilance of the townspeople is not high, so I will let you collect evidence this time, anyway, it is not far from the end of the game.
The night owl had no choice but to watch the painter record everything in the pit and leave with a swagger.
After feeding the little girl, her growth progress increased slightly, and even the three cubs in the nest grew in size compared to before.
Barring any accidents, it will take about 3 more points for the Night Stalker to complete the game, and of course it is not ruled out that he will be able to successfully hunt the last Survivor player.
……
In the real world, it's dawn, and it's time for a new 'crime scene', this time in a dimly lit alley, and townspeople report that a strange little girl who has been living in the alley these days has gone missing.
"The gods told me that the missing man was one of the helpers we were looking for." The bewitching gypsy woman shook her head and said in regret into the night: "We ended up being a step too late. ”
Could the killer be a closed beta player?! Otherwise, how could it be so accurate every time?
Sleepless has begun to wonder what kind of cheating the night stalker uses in the game.
By the time he handed over the clues he had to Inspector Murphy, the townspeople's alert had risen to 40%.
The burly black detective also waved his fist and said angrily: "The three subordinates I sent to the other world yesterday to search for the whereabouts of the monster have also disappeared mysteriously, this must also be the ghost of the damn monster, don't let me catch this beast, I have to skin it and pull it to the bone!" ”
Subsequently, the detective intensified the search, mobilized two groups of 6 searchers into the parallel world, and instructed the searchers to focus on the fir forest near the town.
