Chapter 646: The City of Decisive Battle (IV)
As the game unfolded, the whole city was dark. Although darkness is not his enemy for Rod, for now, he doesn't think that he and others are in a better situation. You must know that whether it is Xiao Wu Lori or Catherine, it is like a big light bulb that will shine in this darkness. Judging from the logic of deep-sea fish, it would be strange if they walked in such a dark city with such a big thorn and thorns, if they didn't attract attention. And the facts have proved that Rod's idea is completely correct.
"What are these things! So nasty!! Damn it, go die!! ”
"Whew!!"
With Xiao Wu Lori's complaint, a blue-green sword light flashed out of thin air, splitting the writhing monsters in front of him that looked like black slimes, and then saw that the bodies of these monsters instantly collapsed and disappeared without a trace. And until this time, the high-rise building, which was originally extremely noisy just now, once again returned to its previous calm.
"Hoo ..............."
Seeing this scene, Rhodes also put away his weapon. He looked up, looking around. Although there was no light in it, with the help of Catherine's large light bulb, he could still see the scene inside. Truth be told, though, the exterior of these towers looks just like the magic towers. But when Rod walked in, he found that it was the layout of the office building in his memory. The reception desk in the hall, the elevators and offices on both sides, the room writing desk and all kinds of decorations, and even the entertainment room and bar for resting are all available, and I don't know what Karen remembers from Rod's memory, but Rod can see that Karen's doesn't seem to understand how these things work, and just treats them as decorations like furniture.
Right now, the location of Rhodes and the other three is in one of these high-rise buildings. Of course. They weren't just wandering around, but because the top of the tall building where the three of them were right now was where the first spirit crystal was located. It is precisely because of this that Rhodes brought Xiao Wu Lori and Catherine here. And after coming here, they are attacked by these weird, shadow-slime-like monsters. For will be attacked. Rhodes wasn't surprised, he had pretty much figured out what Karen's mind was going on by now. On the surface, it is to familiarize Rhodes and other card elves with the personality projection, but in fact, I am afraid that there is a reason for them to deepen their understanding of each other. Either way, there must be an external force to force them to unite, otherwise even if they form a team, I am afraid that they will be divided in front of interests, and at that time, instead of promoting mutual understanding and trust between them, Karen's idea will be self-defeating and a bit troublesome.
However, after observation, Rod also found out. Although these projection personalities really don't know other people, perhaps because they are dominated by the ontology, they still care a little about other people. Even if it was like Xiao Wu Lori, who had just quarreled with Catherine and wanted to let her die, after seeing Catherine coming over, she just pouted and warned her not to pull her hind legs, and she didn't say anything more. Even if Catherine didn't fight at all after that. If you change to a little bubble gum, I'm afraid you won't give up if you don't stimulate Catherine to jump off the building. For the person who provoked him, the little guy never gave a reason, only looked at the result. But Xiao Wu Lori is obviously not as unreasonable as Little Bubble Gum. Although Rhodes found that she still didn't like to get along with Catherine very much, he didn't speak ill of her for that reason -- it seemed that the two sides really just had a simple personality disagreement.
But Catherine ...............
Glancing at Catherine beside her, Rod was completely speechless. If he was still speculating before, then now Rod can be sure that this Catherine is definitely abandoned by the Angel of Light. Or one of the most non-existent personalities who are put aside. She can be said to have carried out pacifism to the extreme, and although she has great strength, she has no intention of fighting. There were times when she was surrounded by those shadow monsters, and she had to bite off her neck without making a move. He looks like he would rather die than give in to carry out his non-violent non-cooperation to the end, and be generous and righteous. Seeing that Rod and Xiaowu Lori also have nothing to say. But even so, they didn't really intend to send Catherine to her death. After all, for Rod, this Catherine is also one of Catherine's personalities, and if she loses this personality, it is difficult to judge whether it is a good thing for her. And in addition to this extreme pacifism, this Catherine is quite easy to get along with. Although Rod thought that her character was an extreme virgin before, she still seemed to understand the truth, and did not run to find trouble and wait for others to save herself like many Mary Sues, but followed Rod and Xiao Wu Lori very obediently, but her sad eyes when she watched those monsters die really made Rod very speechless. To be honest, he should really be glad that the real Catherine doesn't have such a virgin character, otherwise how can everyone play happily together in the future?
"That's pretty much it now."
As he spoke, Rod took a closer look around. The shadow monsters that had escaped from the darkness had completely disappeared, but he believed that this was not the end of it. Although the three of them had already experienced many battles along the way here, the closer they got to these towers, the greater the resistance that Rhodes and the others encountered. It can be seen that these shadow monsters should be arranged by Kalian to protect that spirit crystal. And the strength of these monsters is getting stronger and stronger, although there is no pressure on Rod, but for Xiao Wu Lori, it's another matter. She is not the master personality in the first place, and naturally she does not have much inheritance power. Just like the three Selestina before her, little Selestina and Devil Selestina each have their own abilities. But in front of the main character, they were beaten without even the slightest strength to fight back, and they had nothing else to do except cry and run home to find their mother.
And Xiao Wu Lori is the same, now her strength in Rhodes looks similar to the original Celia, and even the awakened Selestina and Celia can't compare, but fortunately as a ghost. Little Five Lori doesn't have to worry about injury and death, and her spirit nature makes her immune to those physical attacks. From this point of view, it can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of her lack of combat effectiveness.
"So what do we do next? Mr. Rhodes? Do you really want us to climb up? ”
After hearing Rod's answer, Xiao Wu Lori also frowned, and then asked. It wasn't entirely unreasonable. Because it wasn't until they came to the bottom of this tall building that Rhodes and the others found out, and they didn't know what method Karen used. The option of "flying" was completely banned. Even if Rhodes activated his Void Dragon attribute, he wouldn't be able to fly. But that meant they had to walk up on foot. Of course, it won't be too tiring to say that you are tired, because this is also a spiritual world, but ――――― you must know that these towers are hundreds of meters high! Just go on like that? God knows how long it will take to get there.
"Of course not, I think, we should have something else."
Hearing Xiao Wu Lori's inquiry, Rod glanced at the little guy who followed him, and at this moment, Xiao Wu Lori was still the appearance of the ghost girl. The long sword hung behind her. But what made Rod laugh was that at this moment, the little guy was holding a bag of fries in his arms, nibbling on "Kazkaz", looking very satisfied.
It was just now that Rod discovered that this little guy actually had foodie attributes, and in a battle before, Xiao Wu Lori accidentally cut the refrigerator in the room in half. Originally, Rod didn't care much, but he didn't expect Karen to do a very good job in this regard. Not only does there be a refrigerator, but even the snacks in the refrigerator are perfectly restored. And Xiao Wu Lori was also quite curious after seeing those snacks. Especially after she asked Rhodes about how to eat these snacks, she quickly liked them. So everywhere he went, the little one's first reaction was to find the refrigerator, and then split it with a sword to search for snacks. Although Rod wanted to complain, this was not the right way to open the refrigerator at all............ But look at the little guy eating so happily. He didn't bother to care.
After glancing at Little Lori, who was munching on French fries, Rhodes turned his head to withdraw his gaze, and then he looked into the hall in front of him. The hall, which was clean and tidy before, has become dilapidated and messy after the battle between himself and Xiao Wu Lori and those shadow monsters, and the smooth and clean marble floor is full of craters that have been bombed, and the guide platform in front of it has been split into several parts. As for the vending machines next to them, they were also murdered, and all kinds of debris were scattered all over the place. But these were not the parts that Rhodes was concerned about, he was concerned with the two large heavy iron doors on either side of the navigation station.
I don't know if Karen has figured out how to use it.........
As he thought, Rhodes walked slowly to one of the large iron doors. Then he reached out and pressed the triangular button next to the large iron door.
"Ding---!"
With a crisp sound, suddenly, the top of the iron gate, which was originally pitch black, suddenly emitted a soft glow. And seeing this sudden brilliance, whether it was Xiao Wu Lori who was nibbling on snacks, or Catherine who was following behind Xiao Wu Lori and holding a circle of snacks as her mobile shopping cart was shocked. However, seeing that Rhodes had no intention of fighting, these two people also relaxed their vigilance and came to Rhodes' side curiously.
"Mr. Rhodes, what is this?"
Looking at the large iron gate that was constantly flashing in front of her, Catherine also asked curiously. Along the way, they also learned a lot of knowledge from Rhodes, such as the four-wheel car called the big black crystal screen, and the refrigerator that can store a lot of delicious things......... Of course, they didn't fail to ask Rhodes how he knew these things, and in the face of a foodie and a peaceful fool, Rhodes easily fooled them and didn't let the two of them delve into this issue.
"It's called an elevator, and I just wanted to try it, but now it looks like it can still be used. If there are no problems, then we should be able to take this thing to the top of the tower. ”
"Ding---!"
At this moment, with the sound of Rod's voice, the door of the elevator opened, and a bright and soft light emerged from the inside of the elevator, illuminating the originally somewhat dim and gloomy space in front of him. And see this "elevator" in front of you. Xiao Wu Lori and Catherine obviously showed a little uneasy expression. After all, in their eyes, such a small space is not a safe place. And if you get into trouble like an attack, you won't be able to run if you want to. However, seeing that Rod had already walked into the elevator, the two of them naturally didn't say anything, but quickly followed. After all three of them entered the elevator, Rod reached out and pressed the button that went to the very top. Then the door slowly closes, and with a slight mechanical sound and the feeling of levitation as it rises, the elevator begins to ascend towards the top floor.
"Mr. Rhodes, is this thing really safe? Will we ever encounter another attack like that monster? ”
Xiao Wu Lori is quite vigilant, although she is eating French fries in one hand, but she has obviously not forgotten to face the battle. On the contrary, Catherine stood against the wall after entering the elevator, staring blankly at the decoration in the elevator in front of her, showing a picture of wandering in the world. But Rod and Little Five Lori have long been used to this. Who is called Catherine is not a combat-type character in the first place, she just stands there in a daze and is beaten back by others. So there's no need to remind her to pay more attention.
"This ......... I can't say yes, but be careful, I don't think it's as simple as we think. Since the other party has already said that this is a race, it will definitely not arrive at the destination as easily and happily as we hoped, so it is better to be careful for the sake of caution. ”
It is not for nothing that Rod said this, although so far, they have gone well. But to say that it can go to the end so smoothly. Rod himself didn't believe it. I haven't watched those movies, TV and games, and the protagonist will be punished if he wants to be lazy and walk on the road or something. It's not that the elevator is blackout, or it's attacked by monsters, or you need to run up and down several layers of mazes, turn on the power and get the key card, and kill the boss to be able to enter the door, such things can be said to abound. Frankly speaking, Kalian didn't design this place to let Rhodes and the others go to the basement to get kerosene first, and then go to the generator room on the first floor to turn on the power, and then go to the administrator's room on the third floor to get the password for the security room on the first floor, and then take the password back to the first floor, open the door of the security room, get the key card, and then swipe the elevator or something...............
However, Rhodes didn't think that Karen would let them pass so easily after the slightest obstacle in the hall on the first floor, and he was sure that there must be quite a troublesome problem waiting for them after this.........
"Boom !!"
Sure enough. Just as this thought was turning in Rod's mind, a low explosion suddenly sounded. Immediately afterwards, the elevator began to shake violently, and then came to a complete stop with a "squeak--" sound. Then the light that originally filled the interior of the elevator also disappeared at this moment, and then everything was completely shrouded in darkness.........
"What, what's going on?"
Catherine was the first to ask. Even if she was cute and cute just now, she now senses that something is wrong, not to mention Xiao Wu Lori and Rode, who have long been ready to "have an accident". Hearing Catherine's question at this moment, Rod did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he closed his eyes and listened intently to the voice below. The explosion was not just a sound, on the contrary, after the elevator stopped, Rod and the others could hear the continuous explosion coming from below. If Rod heard it correctly, this voice really sounds quite familiar, if he remembers correctly, just now, he and Xiao Wu Lori seem to have made the same sound............... Explosions, and even the wails of shadow monsters could be faintly heard coming from below.
That is, now there is someone below?
Thinking of this, Rod frowned, and he suddenly had a very bad idea. Thinking about it carefully, Rod didn't know how far away the other personality projections were from his side, but because he hadn't met anyone else for so long before, Rod subconsciously thought that other people were probably far away from him. But now it seems that this is not the case, and it is clear that he and the others are coming for this tower. And the others seem to have taken a fancy to this tower, which is not surprising, according to what Rhodes just observed, the twelve towers are still far apart from each other. However, because of this, Rod was still very optimistic that there were probably no other challengers on his side. But now it seems that it is very likely that in the process of taking the spirit crystal for the first time, he and the others will have to face the competition of others...... Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but feel a few drops of cold sweat appear on his forehead.
Your luck won't really be that bad. (To be continued......)
