"Why does it have to be Arthur?" Jiang Xian stroked the black curtain hanging on the four-poster bed with one hand, her movements were gentle, and she slowly stopped at the end of the curtain, her movements paused, and she turned her head to look at Jun Yao and asked.

Because the recipient is Arthur, and Elizabeth says at the end of the letter that she can no longer get rid of the nightmare, but she wants Arthur to forget all this and go away to start a new life. But Arthur didn't do that, he came to Eternal Sleep, lived in, and he clashed with the people of the town, and even he hated them. Jun Yao said lightly, "I call myself a savior, but I have never heard their inner voices. Elizabeth wanted to save the people of the town, and that's what she came back for, but when she came back and put it into action, she realized that people didn't want to. ”

Xu Qingran suddenly remembered what he and Jun Yao said while sitting on the bench in Sunset Square before entering the bell tower.

"We're here to solve the problem, but I always feel like they're scared of things being solved......"

Jun Yao's hunch was not wrong, no matter why Elizabeth came back, she said that she came back to stop this disaster, she thought that she had caused something, she fled in fear, but she finally found out that this incident hurt the whole town, so she plucked up the courage to return to Eternal Sleep, she wanted to save them, but the people were unwilling.

"The current town is governed by two parties, the god who holds the supreme power and the witch clan who steals the power, but the people seem to be more afraid of witches than the gods who turn a blind eye from above......"

Elizabeth's letter, though it did not explain exactly why she had returned, helped them to sort out the clues of their previous reasoning and turn them from inner convictions into objective facts.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and everyone stopped talking in unison, as if they were all caught up in their own thoughts, whether it was searching the room, or standing in place and carefully sorting out their thoughts, the whole room was filled with silence.

Ai Yu felt that the lighting in this room was too uncomfortable, how could anyone use red lights in their own room to illuminate their lives...... She looked up at the crystal chandelier above her head, felt her eyes a little dry, and reached out to block them.

Hey? What's that?

Ai Yu saw the black silk thread hidden in the crystal chandelier, and was afraid that it was an illusion, so he took two steps back, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully. There was indeed a black thread, one end of which was connected from the very middle of the crystal chandelier, interspersed between several crystal decorative lamps, and then implicated in the direction of the four-poster bed.

At the other end of the line is the top cover of the four-poster bed, which is the same color as the drapery.

What is that wire for?

Ai Yu was about to open her mouth to tell everyone about the unknown thread she had found, but Jiang Xian, who had been standing by the bed looking for clues, reached out and pulled down the black curtain of the bed one step faster, Jiang Xian's movements were fast and ruthless, it seemed that she had just stood on the edge of the bed and watched for a long time not because she was looking for important clues, but to study how to make the smallest noise to tear the curtain off.

Under everyone's astonished eyes, Jiang Xian threw a large ball of black curtains that had been torn off on the ground, and the four-poster bed lost its hazy decoration and finally revealed its original appearance.

With four white support columns, and the top surface of the bed is an almost transparent membrane, Jiang Xian's face changed, and she sneered.

"Sure enough." When Jun Yao heard her unprovoked ridicule, she really didn't understand the meaning of her series of actions, so she took two steps forward and approached the bed, reaching out to touch the white pillar that supported the bed.

Not too smooth, somewhat uneven columns.

Jun Yao's hand stopped, she stood next to the bedpost and could see the thing on the top of the bed more clearly, her eyes widened, and then she looked at Jiang Xian in disbelief.

"I didn't expect anyone to sleep on such a disgusting bed, can they really sleep?" Jiang Xian frowned and kicked the black thing into the corner of the room, and because of her words, the remaining four people surrounded her.

"This ...... It's a human bone, right? Do you take human bones as pillars for your bed? Isn't that scary? Ai Yu said in surprise, Xu Qingran beside him carefully observed the thin transparent membrane on the top of the bed, he squinted, as if he saw the subtle lines on the membrane, the tiny lines of blue purple and blood red.

"Those are the traces left by human blood vessels, and the top of this bed is made of human skin." Ai Yu said softly, Yin Weiyu covered her mouth in surprise on the side, "Oh my God? Human skin and human bones, why is there such a thing in Elizabeth's room? ”

Before anyone could answer Yin Weiyu's question, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Whew-" The sound of heavy, slow footsteps was accompanied by a sharp sound like a knife dragging across the floor.

Elizabeth's room was facing the staircase leading to the third floor, and when a sound came from outside, the third floor suddenly lit up with a faint orange light, like the light of a candle.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and all their attention was focused on the sudden light and inexplicable footsteps, and finally a man wrapped in black appeared at the corner of the third floor, he was holding a huge scythe in his left hand, and a candlestick in his right hand, on which was a red candle that was burning and glowing, and there seemed to be something behind him, it was a black sack, tied with two very thick ropes and tied to the waist of the man in black, and he walked down to the second floor step by step.

Gradually, a red-lit room appeared in his sight, and he suddenly stopped moving, and when he looked into the room, everyone could see his face.

To be precise, it was the terrifying yellow-brown mask on his face.

The man in black wearing the mask paused for a moment when he saw the people in the room, and then there was an extremely pleasant laugh in the quiet space, and the next second, the man in black threw the candle in the direction of Elizabeth's room, and the candle hit something invisible in the air, and it exploded like that, blocking everyone's view.

It was not only the vision that was hindered, but also the hearing that was blurred by the sound of the explosion.

The firelight flickered in the air, the masked man's face was close at hand, and the huge scythe was already raised high, as if it was about to slash into their face in the next second.

"Knock knock knock-" The bell rang out of nowhere, long and heavy, and the masked man's footsteps paused, and then he smashed the sickle towards everyone, Jiang Xian and Shen Junyao, who were standing at the front, thought that they were going to die, such a behemoth smashed over, would it directly split them in half?

The space in front of him suddenly distorted, the silver blade turned into a spiral circle of light, and the next second, the old and heavy closed door of the building appeared in front of him.

Jun Yao gasped for breath belatedly, Jiang Xian beside her was also taking a deep breath, the two of them glanced at each other, and invariably stretched out their hands to touch each other, as if to confirm whether the person in front of them was real and whether they could touch it.

I survived.

Aftermath.

With such a thought in his heart, Jun Yao turned his head and looked behind him, Xu Qingran, Yin Weiyu, Ai Yu and Lin Mo were also there, a few steps away from them, Zhao Xiao was sitting in the formation drawn by Lin Mo, with the unconscious Chen Yang on his lap, Zhao Xiaozheng looked at the people who suddenly appeared with a surprised expression.

"You two...... You okay? Xu Qingran was obviously also frightened by what had just happened, and when the masked man suddenly stopped and threw the candle at them, Xu Qingran felt that his thinking became sluggish as if someone had pressed the slow button, and the masked man's movements were also extremely fast, from throwing the candle, the candle exploded to slashing at them with a scythe, it was only two seconds, and no one could respond quickly.

It's just, what's going on with the sudden bell just now?

The bell was thick and slow, but loud, and it was all around him. When he was in Elizabeth's room, he was standing in the innermost part, with only one person behind him, and the bell was coming from behind him.

Lin Mo.

Xu Qingran turned his head and just met Lin Mo's gaze.

As if knowing what Xu Qingran was thinking, a small bronze Van Bell appeared in Lin Mo's hand, and the bronze stick in her hand slammed into the Van Bell, making the same sound as just now.

[Bronze Van Bell: Defense prop, the oldest Van bell in the Shengyin Temple, can form a protective cover after striking, blessed by the Buddha's light, can repel the oriental evil with resentment, and has a cooldown time of three hours]

"I remember, you have a prop about the bell." Xu Qingran saw her take out the props so calmly, which proved that Lin Mo was not ready to hide the move he had just made, he looked at Lin Mo's eyes a little guarded, but his voice controlled this emotion very well, "Why did you ring the bell just now?" How do you know that ringing the bell can save us? Your item is only a defensive item, and it is only aimed at the Oriental, which is very useful in this mission set in the European Middle Ages. ”

Lin Mo sighed and put the Van Zhong back, "I didn't expect the Van Zhong to be able to block the attack of that scythe, but when the masked man threw out the candle, I felt the high danger of the system prompt, and the information hanging on his body showed that the ethereal spirit could block his attack, so I made a sound to summon the ethereal spirit." ”

"The first time I, you, and Xiaoyu came to the bell tower, there was a loud noise, so the ethereal spirit appeared to kill us. I guess one of the conditions for the appearance of the ethereal, at least in the bell tower, is to make a loud sound. I rang the bell in the hope that the ethereal spirit would appear. Lin Mo explained unhurriedly, "One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, right?" The system displayed on this masked man reminds me that the ethereal spirit can block his attacks, so if I summon the ethereal spirit at this time, the ethereal spirit will definitely fight the masked man first. Then we have time to escape, that's my idea. ”

"I don't know why it turned out to be the way it was, the same thing happened to us yesterday – time reset."
