Lin Mo pulled Jun Yao and Xu Qingran towards the direction of the wall, the lights in the bell tower were suddenly all extinguished, accompanied by the holy singing, the sound of the huge sickle dragging on the ground was particularly harsh, and at the place where the three people were standing three flights of stairs, the figure of a man in black was impressively illuminated by the red candlelight. With the huge scythe on his left shoulder and a black bag in his right hand, he slowly walked down step by step.

It's the Mask Man!

The masked man I saw in the bell tower yesterday almost killed them!

The masked man had already completed a circle of circular staircases, and was only one and a half stairs away from where Jun Yao and the three of them were.

What to do?

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do for a while.

Run? That must be impossible, they had seen the speed of this masked man yesterday, in just two or three seconds, he could almost move ten meters, if they ran like this, they would definitely be discovered by him, then with the amazing movement speed of the masked man, it would be easy to catch up with the three of them. After being caught up, they move their toes and think about what it is, but they can't die! Lin Mo has already said that they are in Senluo Illusion, the props are invalid, and they can't return to the real world in the event of an accident, so they must survive safely.

It's just, now that this is an imminent situation, what should be done?

You can't run, but you can't stand here like a fool, right? There is only one way to this bell tower, and there is no possibility of a second way, which means that if they stay where they are, they will always meet the masked man who is slowly coming downstairs, and he will run after he finds it? It's better to run at the beginning, at least you can get away with some luck.

"Elizabeth's room!" Lin Mo suddenly spoke, she said this flashing thought directly without thinking about it, and forgot to lower her voice, Jun Yao and Xu Qingran hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and the three of them moved towards the dark place again.

It seems that because of the singing echoing in the bell tower, Lin Mo's uncontrolled voice was not discovered by the masked man.

It's just that the masked man seems to be going downstairs a little faster than he was just now.

Jun Yao remembered that in Adam's diary, they found piles of gems on the platform, and then met a woman, who persuaded them to leave, and then they watched the woman go up the stairs and into the room.

"Not far from it is Elizabeth's room." Jun Yao lowered her voice, almost whispering in Xu Qingran's ear, Xu Qingran leaned towards the other side a little awkwardly, Lin Mo pointed to a place on the top of the stairs, "It's there, Elizabeth's room." ”

The three of them made a silent look, and then began to move cautiously against the wall in a posture of a crab walking sideways, almost moving in the blind spot of the masked man's vision, and after about forty stairs, Lin Mo at the front touched the door.

So Lin Mo pulled Jun Yao and Xu Qingran to squat, the three of them were almost curled up together, Lin Mo took the lead in putting his hand on the door, and then Xu Qingran and Jun Yao also followed her movements and put their hands on the door, pushing the door in with all their might.

The door is very heavy, in order to concentrate and not make themselves conspicuous, the three of them adopt a squatting posture, but this is far less fast than standing up and pushing the door directly, and the strength to eat milk is almost exhausted, but the door is only a small crack.

It's not enough!

But time is running out.

Jun Yao's hard hand suddenly slammed, and then she felt a chill in her back.

The singing that resounded throughout the bell tower had disappeared at some point, even the cacophony of the masked man's scythe dragging on the ground and the footsteps of the people descending the stairs had disappeared.

What's going on......

Jun Yao turned her head and looked in the direction of going upstairs, and at this glance, she was shocked.

The Masked Man was standing about a staircase away from them, the black bag he was carrying was thrown behind him, the huge scythe was held tightly with both hands, the red candle was suspended in the air, and although there was no external force to hold it, it stood in front of the Masked Man, unmoved. The flaming red candlelight illuminated its yellow-brown mask with an unusually terrifying look, and although he couldn't see his expression clearly, Jun Yao could clearly feel that he was laughing.

Laughing silently, laughing sarcastically, laughing happily like watching a clown jumping off a beam.

Jun Yao's movements stopped, Xu Qingran and Lin Mo naturally noticed that something was wrong, and when they looked in the direction Jun Yao was looking at, they were stunned for a while.

The brain briefly short-circuited and went blank, and then a strong thought came flooding back.

It's over, it's over, it's over.

The Masked Men seemed to have been standing there for a long time, perhaps watching them from the time they sneakily moved to the door of Elizabeth's room to start pushing the door.

He gave them ample chances, not at all worried that they would run away.

Just as a fierce hunter gives his poor prey on the verge of death enough time to survive, he is not afraid that his prey will escape, because everything is under the hunter's control.

It seems that he is tired of watching, and the masked man finally loses patience.

His grim smile echoed in the silent bell tower, the final judgment announcing the death of Jun Yao and the others.

"Who's there?" The masked man spoke, calmly and unhurriedly, and was bound to win.

Jun Yao and the three of them didn't know whether to answer him for a while, and they were still hesitating, when they suddenly heard a woman laughing softly, her voice was gentle but distant, "I haven't seen you for so long, you can't recognize me?" It's so sad......"

Woman?

Jun Yao hurriedly turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a black-haired woman wrapped in a black cloak with gold trim standing three steps behind them, when she spoke, she had already taken off the hat that covered her face, and her face was instantly reflected by the red candle of the masked man.

This woman who suddenly appeared Jun Yao couldn't be more familiar, Jun Yao had seen countless oil paintings related to her, had sat and talked with her, escaped death from her hands, and just last night, Jun Yao also had a dream about her.

Avarice.

Lord of Greed.

She seemed to feel Jun Yao's undisguised gaze looking at her, so she looked towards where she was, the corners of her mouth hooked a good-looking arc, the smile had three points of pleasure, three points of teasing, and the rest was an incomprehensible emotion.

"You...... How did you end up here? The Masked Man looked a little flustered, perhaps he thought it wasn't Avarice, but someone else. So the moment the woman took off her hat, he was in a mess, and his sense of control over it all disappeared.

"Why can't I be here?" Avarice asked rhetorically, and she walked in the direction of the masked man, closing the distance between her and him step by step, and as she passed by Jun Yao, her steps seemed to pause, but she passed by as if nothing had happened.

Could it be that the masked man can't see the three of them?

Jun Yao wondered in her heart, but now no one could answer for her, and everyone was in an extremely tense state.

Lin Mo, who had been squatting without any movement, as if she was a stone statue, suddenly moved, she reached out and picked up the white cloth on the ground, she gently unfolded the white cloth strip with extremely subtle movements, and saw a black word neatly written on it.

Flee.

Escape? Is this the advice Avarice gave them?

Jun Yao was the most familiar with Avarice's font, and she had written it down, as she had seen Avarice's signature countless times.

Avarice leaves strips of cloth for them to escape, which makes it a secret thing - the masked man doesn't notice them, or the masked man can't see them.

Is it because of Senro's vision? No, no, if they weren't detected by the Senluo Vision, then they wouldn't have been spotted and attacked by the Masked Man at the door of Elizabeth's room yesterday.

Wait, when they entered the bell tower for the second time yesterday, were they really still in the Senluo Vision? The system had reminded them that the props in Senluo's illusion were not effective, but yesterday it was precisely because Lin Mo rang the bronze bell that broke the rule that no noise could be made inside the bell tower and forced the time to reset, so they were lucky to escape. If they were in the Senluo Illusion at that time, then Lin Mo's props should be invalid and impossible to use at all, unless they had already left the Senluo Illusion at that time, and they were inside the real bell tower.

"Where is she?" The Masked Man adjusted his emotions, his voice sounding serious and dangerous, as if he would be swinging his scythe at Avarice in the next second.

"What? Are you so reluctant to see your old friend? Am I not attractive enough to you compared to her? I'm standing in front of you, and you're still trying to find her? Avarice sighed with regret, she shook her head, her right hand behind her back, and gently popped out a trace of golden light, which turned into a butterfly and flew towards Jun Yao, and then the butterfly flew in the direction of the downstairs.

Avarice was guiding them away with a golden butterfly.

Jun Yao reacted immediately, so she slowly stood up, her eyes locked on the masked man not far away, and found that he didn't notice them at all, maybe because Avarice was blocking them, or maybe he couldn't see the three of them squatting here at all.

"Let's go." Jun Yao looked up at Lin Mo and Xu Qingdye lips at her.

So Lin Mo and Xu Qingran also stood up cautiously, and the butterfly that watched them behave like this immediately shook its wings, looking very excited, as if urging them to keep up with them quickly.

"Where did you hide her?" The Masked Man seemed to have lost his patience and yelled angrily.

"Shhhhhh Avarice raised her right hand to her mouth, she smiled playfully, her eyes fell on the black bag behind the masked man, and she shook her head, "It's better to ask yourself than me?" ”

Avarice said as she continued to walk forward, one step at a time, until she was with the masked man, and she leaned into his ear, "Didn't you kill her?" You spent three days and three nights making her into a puppet with your own hands. Man...... It's cruel, something you've done yourself, and you forget it so quickly? ”

The masked man turned his head sharply to look at him, and although the tawny mask was blocking his face, it was clear from his body movements how angry he was now, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

“Avarice.” He gritted his teeth and called out her name, "Do you really think that I don't dare to do anything to you?" ”

"Hehe......" Avarice laughed brightly when she heard this, and she continued to walk up step by step, the light from the window hitting her hair, and a beautiful layer of gold, "What can you do to me?" ”

She kicked open the black bag blocking the stairs, looked back at the masked man, and asked mockingly, "Have you forgotten that your power was stolen from me?" ”

Hearing this, the Masked Man immediately raised his scythe and swung it at Avarice without saying a word, but Avarice remained in place, smiling when the scythe had made zero contact with her head.

The holy song was heard again, and the masked man's scythe shattered to slag in front of her, and Avarice continued upstairs, ignoring the masked man behind her.

"Put yourself in your place."
