Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 69 Facing the Enemy

"The landing square is empty, there are no buildings to cover it, if we want to drag Arthur, we can only act head-on, and it is impossible to ambush and play yin." Ai Yu looked at the topography of Sunset Square, as the only entrance and exit of the town, the layout here is very atmospheric, but it is also very simple. Aside from the marble stele that reads "Eternal Sleep Town" and the huge bell tower, there are not many other buildings in Sunset Square. Although there are many benches for people to rest and sit, there is still a big gap in order to meet the ambush that Ai Yu and they requested.

Xu Qingran nodded, in fact, he had thought about this problem before this, he was very familiar with the terrain of Sunset Square, after all, he had been here many times. In such an open place, an ambush must be unrealistic, but if it is a direct head-on battle, they can't bargain, after all, the ability of the masked man is too strong.

"I can draw some charms with blood and stick them on Arthur's path, although it can't hurt him, it will have some effect on him." Lin Mo suddenly spoke, she looked directly at Xu Qingran, and said word by word.

"You're getting stronger?" Xu Qingran heard Lin Mo say this, and immediately guessed the reason why Lin Mo said this. Lin Mo obtained the psychic medium ability near the end of the last mission, this ability is extremely rare, and extremely harsh conditions need to be met, in "Blood Pupil", Lin Mo faced a mortal situation, and it was a communication with ghosts by mistake, sacrificing himself, and only then did he get the psychic.

There are not many people in the Dream Traveler Guild who have psychic mediums, and as far as Xu Qingran knows, there are only three or four people, so it is not very likely to sum up some experience. The ability of the spirit medium belongs to the growth ability, which will be strengthened with the change of time and the influence of the surrounding environment, Lin Mo's ability was just to perceive unknown creatures to judge the danger at the beginning, and to draw a spell to defend, and now she said that she can draw a spell to affect Arthur's actions, which must be much better than the simple defense before.

Lin Mo has become stronger, which should have been a good thing, but for some reason, Xu Qingran always cared about this.

"Probably because I faced too many dangers in this mission. The more you fight, the more courageous you are, isn't that the truth? Lin Mo smiled, took out some blank yellow rune paper from the backpack bar, and mercilessly smashed the index finger of his right hand with a knife, bright red blood instantly gushed out from the shallow slender wound, Lin Mo didn't want to waste an extra second, and quickly drew it.

Ai Yu took advantage of Lin Mo's efforts to draw talismans, walked towards Xu Qingran, she looked at the surrounding environment, pointed to a potted plant and said, "My [Prajna Jade Lotus] can hide in there, its defense range is five meters in radius, and it has a deterrent effect on middle and low-level creatures. ”

Xu Qingran shook his head and said helplessly, "Arthur is not a low-level creature, he is the final boss of the mission." He looked down at the props that Ai Yu had already held in his hand, and seemed to be entangled in his heart, and finally made up his mind, "Forget it, something is better than nothing, you put it in that piece first, and then estimate the defense range, let's pay attention not to go out." ”

Ai Yu nodded, [Pranya Jade Lotus] is an active prop, that is to say, it is not taken out of the backpack and the use time is not calculated, it must meet its use conditions to make it work, and the time is also calculated from the moment it plays a role. She had just walked out a few steps, and then looked back at Xu Qingran, as if she had something to say, but she was hesitant to say it.

"Light dyeing."

"Huh?"

"Can we really hold Arthur back?" Ai Yu asked.

Xu Qingran was silent for two or three seconds, and then nodded, "Yes, after all, everyone else has worked so hard." ”

"What if...... I mean, if, in a time of danger, would you use that? Ai Yu bit her lip and finally asked.

Xu Qingran didn't answer her, Lin Mo had already drawn enough rune paper, she took the cut finger in her mouth, and walked towards Xu Qingran and Ai Yu, "I'm ready here." ”

Ai Yu didn't wait for Xu Qingran's answer, she smiled bitterly, and she didn't intend to force that answer again, she turned around and walked towards the place where the props were to be placed. Hiding [Pranya Yulian] in the grass, Ai Yu gestured with her arm to the approximate length of one meter, and then calculated the distance of five meters, she took out a red cherry tomato from her bag and put it on the ground, it was the dessert after dinner today, Ai Yu took a few, thinking that it was to use it as a mark. The distance on the left was estimated, and Ai Yu followed this method to place a five-meter warning point on the right, in front and in the back of the four mutually perpendicular directions, and confirmed it, Ai Yu nodded and walked towards Xu Qingran and Lin Mo again.

"I've already drawn the safety range, how are you going to paste the rune paper?" Ai Yu asked, Lin Mo thought for a while, pointed to the straight street and said, "Stick it all the way from here until you enter Eternal Sleep Town." ”

How much rune paper does that need? Ai Yu thought in his heart, looked down and saw the thick handful of rune paper that Lin Mo was holding in his hand, thinking that Lin Mo had really made enough preparations, and had invested a lot of blood, so many rune papers, the power that needed to be consumed was naturally a lot. Did she do that to stall for time?

Thinking of this, Ai Yu couldn't help but look at Xu Qingran again.

Xu Qingran avoided her gaze, as if he was a little weak, he took out a deck of playing cards and carefully counted the number of cards. Then he drew thirteen cards and put the rest back, leaving only the thirteen cards in his hand, "Bet on them, hoping they will stop Arthur." ”

[Psychic playing cards: attack props, a deck of cards a total of 52, a single attack only causes a psychic knockback effect, the pair can launch a psychic attack, four bombs with the same number can cause a psychic explosion, the straight triggers different hidden effects according to the number of cards (hidden effects include silence, stun, continuous burning) to cause knockback, attack and explosion triple effect, the flush attack effect will be strengthened, will inevitably trigger the continuous burning effect, the double king can summon psychic puppets to help fight. Only when all cards are used will they enter the cooldown refresh, and only one cooldown refresh can be performed at a mission, with a cooldown of 18 hours.

Lin Mo had already gone to paste the rune paper, Xu Qingran and Ai Yu were speechless, but they invariably opened the system page, pretending to check carefully, but in fact, they just didn't want to talk to each other to break this embarrassment.

"What's our way back? When all means have been exhausted, how can we keep ourselves alive? Ai Yu finally spoke first to break the deadlock, Xu Qingran was stunned, his eyes fell on the tall bell tower, and he thought about the whole story that had been deduced, so he said, "Enter the bell tower." ”

"The Clock Tower? Why? The first time we met the masked man was inside the bell tower, and if we really hid in it, wouldn't we be caught in the net? Ai Yu asked puzzled.

"Arthur will be bound by the rules, right?" Xu Qingran said softly, "Even if the witch's subordinates have the power of witchcraft, the witch can't completely control Eternal Sleep Town, and that's why she needs the children's names to live forever." This fact proves that the power of the witch is still very weak compared to the gods, think about the situation when Jun Yao said in the Garden of Roses at that time Avarice and Arthur the Mask Man...... Suppression, absolute suppression. ”

"So, you're trying to use the power of the gods to delay Arthur?" Lin Mo didn't know when he came back, she heard what Xu Qingran said, and instantly understood what he wanted to express.

"You're going to use the rules of the bell tower to fight Arthur?" Ai Yu also understood that Xu Qingran wanted to use the time curse rule about the bell tower that they had also used before - don't make a loud noise. The first time he met the masked man, Lin Mo reacted very quickly to reset the time with the bell, allowing them to return to the gate of the bell tower and escape from death. If they really have no way back and can't stop Arthur, they can enter the bell tower, run a few floors first, and then repeat the old trick and reset the time, so that Arthur will be left in the bell tower like last time, and they will be safe.

"That's right, we'll have to open the door to the bell tower first, and take precautions. After all, we have seen Arthur's skills several times, and when the time comes, we will really enter the bell tower, and we will open the door enough time for him to chop us with a single sword. Xu Qingran said and walked in the direction of the bell tower, so Yin Weiyu and Lin Mo hurriedly followed.

The three of them had just walked in front of the bell tower, but they found that the two rusty copper rings on the heavy iron door were gone, and the copper rings used for padlocks were gone, so the old lock was naturally gone. Xu Qingran frowned, feeling strange, after all, the bell tower has not been used for a long time, this is something that the residents of the town know and there is no need to hide, when they came a few days ago, this gate has been locked, although it is said that this lock is almost the same as not, but it is better to put it there as an ornament. They were busy discussing the rescue plan today, so naturally there was no need to come to the bell tower to see the situation, besides, tonight was the night of the decisive battle, and everything would be resolved tonight, and there was no tomorrow at all, so there was no need to confirm the number of missing children. A few days ago, the bell tower was locked, but today they did not come, and the gate changed, not only the lock was gone, but even the brass ring of the padlock was also removed.

Who is it? Who would do such a thing?

Xu Qingran would never be stupid enough to think that this was the system for their convenience, this must have been deliberately done by someone.

"The door is unlocked?" Ai Yu pushed the door open a crack in confusion, Xu Qingran was thinking about the hidden clues behind the incident that the door was not locked, seeing Ai Yu's movements, he subconsciously wanted to stop it, but after all, it was a step too slow, Ai Yu had already pushed the door open to the extent that it could accommodate a person to walk in.

"It's still the same bell tower we first entered." Lin Mo said.

Xu Qingran saw that nothing happened, but he didn't think about the suspicion just now, fortunately, this door is open for them only good and no harm, don't care so much.

Sometimes it's not always good to think too much.

Xu Qingran nodded, "It's okay to this extent, Arthur's body shape is a typical European physique, stronger than us, we can easily pass, but he may not." Although it doesn't take much time to use such a Carmen method, it can be an extra second. ”

Ai Yu and Lin Mo both nodded in agreement.

"So we'll let them know the plan to begin, shall we?" Xu Qingran clicked on the call button on the system page as he spoke.

【Upcoming call, please select the member to call】

Xu Qingran ticked everyone except herself.

Although Lin Mo and Ai Yu were by his side, there was no need to make a call to the two of them, but Xu Qingran was very concerned about the system's prompt when the call function was activated-

"Ringtones should not be silenced, please initiate a call at the appropriate time"

What exactly does the ringtone look like when the call rings?

"Jingle bell-" A crisp old-fashioned phone ringtone rang, Lin Mo and Ai Yu were startled, only to see the message page pop up.

[Dream traveler Xu Qingran has initiated a group call]

"Light dyeing...... What are you? Ai Yu looked at him puzzled, the ringtone was not big or small, it was the decibel that the mobile phone ringtone was adjusted to the largest in ordinary life.

"I'd like to experiment with the size of the ringtone, just in case." Xu Qingran explained simply, "A phone call is enough, and they will understand." With that, he hung up.
