Volume 1 Wish Chapter 13 Make a Wish
[Attention Dream Travelers, the third round of ghost hunting has begun]
[The third round of ghost hunting will end in five hours]
[The time limit for a single safe house is 2 hours]
【Good luck to everyone】
"Our team found three safe houses, this is the first one, and it's not far from the second safe house, so we called everyone to come over first." Qi Ming explained that although they were now the ones on the mission together, both Qi Ming and Ren Yao tacitly assumed that they were a combination of two teams rather than a whole team.
"Okay, the progress of your mission is slower than ours, but our props have been basically exhausted in the previous three rounds of ghost hunting, and the ones in our hands are also long cooling props with strong lethality, so ......" Ren Yao hesitated at the end, Qi Ming sneered, "As long as you don't have any bad ideas, our cooperation can be a win-win situation, otherwise it will not be good for anyone to lose both." ”
The white walls made a strange sound, the sound of ticking water came from the direction of the ceiling, the blood red stained the walls, the thick smell of blood came to the face, and the smooth marble floor shattered one after another, and one hole after another appeared.
A white shadow suddenly appeared on the other side of the corridor, and before everyone could react, the white shadow had already rushed in front of them, and its hideous claws quickly swung back, but it bounced back as if it had hit the glass. Ling Feng pushed the umbrella in his hand forward, and looked back at everyone, "What are you doing in a daze?" Get inside! ”
Only then did everyone realize that they were standing at the door and talking, and they had not fully entered the safe house, so the so-called protective effect was also nothing.
Ling Feng was the last to retreat into the room, retracting the umbrella in his hand into his backpack and breathing a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the response was quick.
[Eight Immortal Umbrella: Defense props, open the umbrella surface to form a protective shield, which can resist three attacks, and the cooldown time is 3 hours]
The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and the safe room turned out to be a study, with rows of tall cabinets full of books, and through two rows of bookcases there was a large round table, twelve chairs were ordered in Roman numerals, and a book was placed in front of the chair numbered I.
Eleven people walked into the round table, and suddenly a ballad was heard.
"You are bathed in the sunshine and full of hope for the future, but in an instant, you fall to the bottom. God, please help me—a filthy echo, a myriad of cries. So there was salvation, and I saw the way forward in the blood. The illusory reality, who has ever seen it? ”
At each end of the song, a chair moved back on its own, until the song stopped, and suddenly twelve candles appeared on the round table, each with a few words engraved on it. Qi Ming and Ren Yao stepped forward to check at the same time, only to see that their names were engraved on the candles.
In order of 2-12, they are Ren Yao, Qi Ming, Jian Yilin, Chiyo Dong, Zhang Xin (black short-haired girl), Shen Junyao, Fang Zhen (white T-shirt boy), Yi An, Ling Feng, Bai Zhi (girl in light yellow long skirt), Li Rui (double ponytail girl), Chen Yao, Li Hua.
"Looks like you want us to sit down." Ren Yao sat down on the second chair as he spoke, and the candle in front of him suddenly lit up. Qi Ming also sat down, no surprise, the candle in front of him emitted a faint light.
So everyone sat down one after another, twelve candles were lit in turn, the song sounded again, and Li Hua reached out and took the book in front of chair I and looked at it.
"It's all about the hostess." Li Hua quickly skimmed through the book and pushed it between Qi Ming and Ren Yao, so the two of them flipped through it together.
The book is full of oil paintings, the first is a woman's self-portrait, followed by a variety of life photos, at the end of the page is a hand-painted woman, a woman with black hair and a white dress is sitting in the house, outside the house there is a little boy with a broken arm happily waving goodbye to the woman, and the sign in the lower right corner is Avarice.
This is a woman's own hand-drawing? Does this painting have anything to do with the secret of the Wishing House?
"Shall we exchange information? Swap with each other without reservation, and you'll be able to see how big the third round of ghost hunting is when we move later, and besides, we're already in the hidden side quest, there's no reason not to win this way, right? At the same time as the book was being handed over, Ren Yao opened his mouth to break the silence, and he looked at Qi Ming beside him, "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything superfluous, I just want to end this task quickly." ”
"Heh, it's said that it's an exchange of information, but it's actually just a one-sided sharing of information, right? Ren Yao, you can play a good game. Yi An smiled, "It's a great thing to ask us to provide defense and protection, and to ask us to share mission clues." ”
"In that case, let's do intelligence trading, shall we? I'll take two props and exchange them for clues in your hands. Ren Yao made concessions, in fact, he didn't think that Qi Ming's team would give information for free, but negotiation always requires some skills.
Yi An looked at Qi Ming, only to see him nodding with a smile, his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking like he was winning, "Okay, you take out two attack props, and I'll share all the clues we got with you." ”
Before Ren Yao could speak, Jian Yilin threw out two props, one was a rattle and the other was a small Zhuge repeater.
Qi Ming looked at Jun Yao, "Jun Yao, you re-enact the past you saw in the study, and then give him the real map of Shuocheng." You take this Zhuge crossbow for self-defense, and that rattle, Li Hua, you take it to Ah Yao. ”
Chen Yao took the rattle from his brother's hand, and Yilin found that his hand had been shaking, Li Hua seemed to feel Yilin's gaze, but just smiled at her, so Yilin withdrew her gaze, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
[Human Skin Drum: Attack prop, the person who hears the drum will resonate with the rhythm of the drum, the rhythm is divided into three gears, the first gear repels the target, the second gear makes the target stun, and the third gear makes the target resonate to death. The attack must be continuous, and the effect ends immediately when it is stopped.
[Zhuge Repeater: Attack prop, according to the owner's will to fire arrows in the specified direction, at least three shots at a time and up to five shots, and one attack can be in the same direction. Can be fired three times in a row, with a cooldown of 2 hours]
So Jun Yao took the Zhuge Repeater, and then threw the parchment to Ren Yao, and she put the props into her backpack while repeating what she saw.
"Is it true that making a wish on an oil painting is effective?" Ren Yao frowned and looked at Qi Ming, Qi Ming shook his head, "I don't know, we haven't tried, besides, what Jun Yao saw when she went in was only the last bit of Aisha before she died, and even Aisha's burning of paintings was just speculation." If you look at the back of the parchment, at least one thing is clear, the gods took the lives of the children as the price of making a wish. ”
"I think the most precious thing to be a parent should be a child, right?" "On the back of the parchment, the person who made the wish said that he would exchange it for my most precious thing, so the gods took the children's lives. The woman just now said that you can exchange anything, although it is casual, but in fact, things have been limited. ”
"It's precious, it's not necessarily the most precious, because we're limited in the mission, maybe the most precious thing isn't around, so the restriction is precious."
There was a short silence, and then Ren Yao and Qi Ming glanced at each other, and saw the answer they wanted in each other's eyes.
"We need more clues to back it up, but I think it's not far from ten."
"Brush—" The window of the room was suddenly blown open by the wind, the candles on the table were completely extinguished, and the strange ballad sounded again.
"You are bathed in the sunshine and full of hope for the future, but in an instant, you fall to the bottom. God, please help me—a filthy echo, a myriad of cries. So there was salvation, and I saw the way forward in the blood. The illusory reality, who has ever seen it? ”
Jun Yao frowned, this ballad is a little strange, the tune itself is not weird, but it sounds very strange, but if you say something strange, you can't say it.
[Countdown to safe house use: 30 seconds]
In the darkness, two burning stones were thrown, and the path to the door was lit by firelight, and two male voices shouted, "Run!" At the end of the hallway, when you turn left, you'll find a new safe house! Watch defensive! ”
[Prometheus Tinder: Special prop, throwing a fireball in the specified direction can light up the path, the fire attack effect is weak, and it only has a knockback effect on low-level ghosts]
Then the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground was mixed with panic screams and angry screams, blurred in the faint light.
Jun Yao felt a pair of hands grab her, and she was carried out of the room.
It's Chiyo Fuyu! She clung to herself with one hand, and on the other lay a small snake that was red all over.
[Medusa's Serpent: Defense prop, Medusa's favorite pet, with Medusa's spiritual pressure. Spirited ghosts cannot be approached, and ghosts without spirits cannot be caught by the Snake's Eyes, otherwise they will manifest. Use time 15 minutes, cooldown time 3 hours】
"Yao-no-don't!" Li Hua's cry came from behind him, Jun Yao turned around, only to see that Chen Yao was choked by a horse-faced monster, and Li Hua was kneeling in the corridor, and his right arm was missing! As the blood was dripping on the floor, Li Hua suddenly raised his head, "O Lord Almighty, make a wish to you for my well-being—sacrifice with my scepter, please give me the strength to rival the ghost, not to be harmed, to make it fearful." ”
"As you wish." The woman with black hair and white dress suddenly appeared next to Li Hua, she left a kiss in front of Li Hua's forehead, so Li Hua's body exuded a strong light, and the scepter belonging to Li Hua appeared in the woman's hand, and when the light dissipated, Li Hua had already kicked the horse-faced monster over and rescued Chen Yao from his hands.
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, are you okay?" Li Hua squatted down to check whether Chen Yao had any wounds on his body, but Chen Yao looked frightened, as if he was guarding against something, and the moment Li Hua's hand touched him, Chen Yao pushed him away, and then ran towards the new safe house.
The woman stood beside Li Hua, looked at the frightened and overwhelmed people in the safe house, and smiled slightly.
"You ...... Want to make a wish? ”
