Verse 235: Everyone is a bridge to happiness (4)
The hunter and the prey are smiling all the way down, while on the other side, the hunter and the prey are going up.
Ayers walked down the hallway leading to the fourth floor, and in front of it, the remnants of the Lich were dying but useless, and Ayers gathered his menβthe Banshee Lady Oriel Dorman and her Banshees were playing hide-and-seek with the poor ghosts of each other in the stone walls on either side, while the Black Knight Morgan Dorgen was in charge of the attack.
Although he didn't know why the prairie elf asked him to hunt down the wizard, since he had received his deposit, Ayres felt that he couldn't give up halfway.
It's not that as a bone lich, Ayres doesn't even have the courage to tear up the contract, how could Ayres make a lot of money if he didn't have the courage to cooperate with Ayres last time.
The only problem is the steppe elves, although these one-meter-two dwarfs are not of the level of Kakalele, Ayrs is not very afraid, but the key is that the steppe elves have nothing else to do except like to hammer the undead, and even the devil likes to trade with them in the multiverse, and these one-meter-two love to huddle, and there is a mastermind behind the level of Anonymous behind them, and a bunch of old ones will jump out anytime and anywhere when they are small, and Ailes really doesn't want these one-meter-two to think about him all day long.
So, since there is a deal, let's just finish it honestly, besides, that kind of crystallized Ayers likes it a lot, and there are not too many things that can strengthen him, and the next time the old man Kakalele has something to find him, he promises to run faster than Cerberus.
Thinking of this, Ayres laughed with satisfaction - the whisper of the soul passed through the corridor, and Ayres didn't mind that the whisper of the soul and the distorted laughter were heard by the other party - anyway, he was just laughing at the fate of the other party's checkmate, as for the living...... What a joke, he'd never seen a living person here.
But after thinking about it, Ayres eventually asked Lady Oriel to take her men to explore the way up after killing her opponent.
If you can kill a few locals, you might even be able to get the coordinates here.
Thinking of this, Ayles's soul is fiery - to be a bone lich, isn't his favorite thing to do is to harvest his dead friends.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Marlin tilted his ears, he seemed to hear some kind of ugly laughter, considering that he was immune to illusions, he looked at the four in front of him, among whom Cohen had already noticed Marin's listening movement just now, and he stomped his foot to stop the team from advancing: "What's wrong. β
"I think I heard some weird laughter, didn't you hear it?" Marin looked at them.
Cassie shook her head: "I'm only 4 inspired and haven't heard anything. After saying that, this one took a picture of himself...... Well, this guy would even forget about such a thing.
"Nope." After speaking, Liukin looked around: "This is the second floor, do you confirm what you heard?" β
"Yes." After Marin finished speaking, he took down the shotgun hanging from his shoulder and began to load the gun: "Which of you has a mechanical mind. β
"We have belt ornaments." Cohen said, pulling the necklace from the side of his collar.
Marin reached out and slapped them with mechanical minds - this thing was one of the best ways to combat the illusions of spirits, and while spirits could still possess them, at least they couldn't develop these guys into their thugs before they possessed them.
"Four two-ring techniques in one breath...... You're really not a warlock? Ingmar frowned.
"No, I'm just a mage, and I prefer to cast spells." Marin said as he noticed that Cassie had reached the entrance of the steps leading to the third floor, and he walked over quickly, standing in front of the steps, he could feel the cold aura coming from below: "There's something down there. β
This is definitely a spirit or a different species such as spirits, considering that the technology hunters don't know where they came, Marin thinks about it, and it can't be explained by the game term "monster farming", it can only be said that there should be an undetectable crack below.
"yes, there's something down there, old rules, I'm head to Cassie, Ingmar you look at the ceiling, Cohen, you and Marin look back." Liukin stood beside Marin and felt it, then nodded.
"No, wait a minute, Cohen, how much inspiration do you have." Marin turned his head to look at Cohen.
"9, taller than Cassie." Cohen said.
"Then you take care of Cassie, remember, whoever is calling you, don't go over, don't look at people, remember that it's us standing behind you." By the time he said this, Marlin had actually taken a picture of him and Cassie with suggestion - even if the spirit hinted at them, they would need to fight him for the difficulty of suggestion.
"Hmm." He and Cassie nodded like garlic.
"Liukin, you can't see my expression, if you think I have a problem and ask me if it's raining outside today, I'll answer that the bread in the store is sold out." After Marin finished speaking, he took out his helmet and buckled it to his head, put the purple light flashlight on the shelf on the left side and turned it on: "Liukin, let's go." β
"No problem, I'm behind you on the left, I hope I won't use the code." Liukin's voice came from behind Marin on the left.
"Let's go." Marin finished speaking and walked down the steps.
This dive staircase is an escalator, and unlike the pulley spiral staircase that comes down from the first floor, it retains more of the style of that era.
Descending to the third floor, Marin quickly glanced at the right side: "The right side is safe." He found himself on a small platform, and to his right was a vertical pit like a patio, with a metal structure at the top, which should be the surface layer from the height.
A dungeon before the Great Apocalypse, indeed.
"Left side safe." Liukin's voice came at this time.
Marlin turned, and Beep reached out the brim of his hat to help Marlin keep an eye behind him, while his master, Marlin, saw the other side of the platform, and the space recessed into the wall reminded Marlin of the store.
"The ceiling was clean." Ingmar scanned the ceiling and was about to check the hallway entrance when a howl caught everyone's attention.
Liukin immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the entrance of the hallway, and Cohen, who was descending, placed an astral sensor lamp in the place where he was coming down - if a spirit appeared on the upper level, it would glow red.
Then he ran down and put another one on the platform.
Cassie came to the entrance of the hallway, pulled a light stick, tossed it in, and quickly retreated.
Ingmar came to the edge of the pit quickly, and he poked out the mirror in his hand and scanned the outside: "The outer wall is safe...... Damn, maybe it's the monsters on the fourth floor who riot, and according to records, there are a few days a month when the deep spirits will come up desperately and eventually they will die here. β
"In other words, when is it a technical job to collect the body?" Marin walked down the hallway with his gun in hand.
"Indeed, collecting corpses is a technical job, Marin, and I'm behind you." Liukin said: "That's right, if you come down early, if there are any terrifying spirits still alive, then the adventurer's life will be confessed here, and if it comes late, then you won't even be able to drink the soup, anyway, every month there will be lucky people and unlucky people die below." β
Marin stood in front of the door: "Liukin, look at my left, Ingmar, you pay attention to the ceiling and follow me to the right at the same time, Cassie you look at the light, Cohen, you lead Cassie." β
"Okay." By the time the four of them had answered, Marlin crashed headlong into the horizontal hallway, the incandescent light under the muzzle of the shotgun began to work, and the muzzle of the short-barreled shotgun lifted up, illuminating the flesh at the end of the hallway, which was a skinless humanoid figure walking on all fours, unlike what Marlin had seen before, the skull of this thing had been opened, and there was nothing inside: "Brainless Ghoul!" Right! β
With that, Marlin pulled the trigger and flew through the hallway, eventually killing the running Revenant Spirit to the ground, and the silver bullet hit and destroyed its target very effectively.
"Plural targets on the left!" Liukin's shout made Marin turn around against Ingmar: "Ingmar! Look to the right! β
"Understood! Safe! Nothing is coming! I see it! Solo target! Brainless ghouls! Second...... The third is not the fourth! Ingmar shouted behind Marin, Marin didn't have time to take care of him now, but passed by Cohen who raised his gun, stood next to Liukin, emptied three shotguns in one go, and then shook the muzzle of the last brainless ghoul who rushed at the fire of the small-caliber semi-automatic rifle in Liukin's hand, and the silver-seeping bayonet that popped out pinned the brainless ghoul to the ground in the next second.
With a kick on half of its head, Marin turned around and saw that Cohen and Ingern had already killed four of them, but there were still more than four brainless ghouls in the distance.
"Reload! Damn it! Cohen, who wielded a small-caliber semi-automatic rifle like Liukin, leaned against the wall of the hallway, while Ingmar turned to look at Marin while reloading her hand: "Help us." β
So Marin hung the ring of the four-barreled shotgun butt in his hand to the hook on his shoulder, and then pulled out the dot 50 from his waist, and under the deafening sound of gunfire and Liukin's stunned gaze, the dot 50 in Marin's hand knocked the four brainless ghouls rushing in front to the ground.
"Thank you!" Cohen swapped his magazine, raised his gun and fired all the bullets into the body of the last brainless ghoul, finally crushing it to the ground.
"I always thought we were going to fight spiders." Holding the small water gun in his hand, Ingmar finally carried it back behind him, and then pulled out a revolver from his waist, which was a revolver with a point four four: "I heard someone tell a joke before, he said that bad luck, no matter how big the guy is, it's useless, I'm going to say him now, the guy is not big, I'm afraid I won't survive when I'm unlucky." β
The five-and-a-half-sized man giggled for a round, and as was the rule, Cohen put the lights at the entrance, and then moved on - the undead elves were within the estimation of everyone, including Marin, and there weren't many bullets.
In Ma Lin's opinion, this little battle should not be able to dispel the little Jiujiu in their hearts.
Luckily, the guy brought enough.
With this thought, Marin and them continued to move forward, and just as they were about to approach the trap area, Marin, who was walking in front, was thinking about how to turn his face for a while, when he felt his own heartbeat, and at the same time, the electronic lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed.
Liukin immediately noticed that Marin stopped: "Marin! What a situation! "He seemed a little nervous.
"Here they are." Marin stopped, sensing his surroundings.
"Password! It's not raining outside today! Liukin's voice was out of tune.
"The shop is running out of bread." Marin said, turning to look sideways at the four boys, "There's something." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the corridor that were still on suddenly went dark.
"Don't shoot! Turn on the flashlight! β
"I see a purple glow! That's a lot better! What about UV grenades?! β
Cassie and Cohen are roaring.
There's a ghost screaming.
"Who took my grenade!" Ingmar screamed, and then the sound of a fight could be heard.
"Marlin! What have you been exposed to?! Liukin could feel that Marin in front of him seemed to be fighting something, and he could see some light flickering.
"Damn it, the lights down in the hallway!" Cassie shouted in despair.
In the next second, the divine light lit upβa small but divine ball of light rose up, illuminating the small half of the corridor, illuminating the final appearance of the ghosts, illuminating the panicked four human faces and their masters, and also illuminating Marin, who was holding the twigs of the World Tree and nailing a ghost banshee to the ground.
"What's going on?" Liukin looked around, there were piles of ash everywhere, and he knew that this was definitely the remnant of the ghost after it had been purified.
"I don't know, what that little thing is." Cohen watched as Beep ran towards Marin as he removed a half-rotten tongue from his shoulderβa banshee's last gift to the world: "It's disgusting. β
"We survived?" Ingmar, who was on the ground and wrestling with the air twice, looked at her friends who were standing.
"Of course, we're back, and it's all up to Marin." Cassie walked over, he looked at the bite on Ingmar's face, and took out a bottle of holy water: "You wait a minute, I'll help you flush the wound." β
As soon as the holy water touched Ingmar, the kid screamed, and then a black mist was visible to the naked eye.
Eventually, Ingmar himself stopped screaming, and he trembled as he looked at the four people who came around: "I, I just got possessed?" β
"That's right, this holy water is good, who gave it to you." Cohen reached out and pulled Ingmar up, then looked at Cassie, who pointed at Marin, "He said my holy water is not pure, and he helped me purify it." β
"No. 5 holy water, it's more effective." Marin smiled as he tossed the beautiful gem from the banshee's body to Cohen, "I'm a part-time worker, and this thing belongs to you." β
"Damn, I'm not wearing gloves, and the curse is only 2, don't hurt me." Cohen was anxious as he threw the gem back to Marin: "You take it, if it weren't for you, we'd just be dead." β
Marlin caught the gem, and then he keenly noticed that the four boys fell silent at the same time.
Marin frowned - wait a minute, can you four boys not be like this, you will arrive at your destination soon, can you not find out in your conscience at this time, since everyone has been acting for so long, why don't you just act until the end, so that even if I want to kill you, I will be famous.
As he was thinking this, Marin heard footsteps, and he turned his head to look at the steps of the trap area.
The four boys also heard the footsteps, and they looked at the steps with panicked faces in front of Marin.
Then the five boys watched as a dejectedly dressed lich ran up in such a hurry, and there were several shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him, looking extremely miserable.
And Marin also noticed that the man seemed to be completely unaware of the people on the upper floor, he glanced at the steps behind him, and ran a few more steps, only to turn his attention to Marin in the screams of his subordinates.
Then Marlin saw that he had just one last foot on the red, blackened trap pedal that was under his scouting vision.
Then a series of explosions drowned everything.
Marin had to pull up a wall of wind to block the dust and debris, and then he saw a skull collapse at his feet.
The latter seemed to be still 'alive', but his chin was gone, and the red soul fire in his eye sockets was like a candle in the wind.
Marin thought for a moment and gave this one a shot to treat minor injuries, and then saw the soul fire in its eye socket shrink and then extinguished.
"What the hell is this?" Cohen still seems to be a little unable to turn a corner, but Liukin has an explosion of acting skills: "Who pulled the trap where!?" This is crazy...... Wrong! It's going to collapse! Marin also felt that the ground was shaking at this time, and after thinking about it, Marin finally reached out and pulled Cassie up: "Let's go!" β
"Come on! Over here! Marin led the people into the hallway, and he used the World Tree twigs to break the wall near the pit, and then the two World Tree twigs joined together to form a rattan, nailed to the top at one end, and hung down at the other.
"If you have a climbing buckle around your waist, hang it on the ring!" Marin said as he buttoned the climbing buckle around his waist.
Unfortunately, only Liukin and Cohen were the only ones out of the four, but it was nothing, Marin grabbed Ingmar with one hand and Cassie with the other, and then the World Tree twigs and brought them out of the gap.
A few more brainless ghouls followed, but they failed to catch anything and ended up falling into the pit in vain.
The twigs of the World Tree threw five and a half children into the small platform on the second floor, and as soon as Marin landed, he pushed them up: "Go!" Go on! β
The collapse of the fourth floor seemed to continue, and Marlin could only let the four boys run faster for safety reasons, and also gave them an acceleration technique.
And these four boys are also desperate at this time, among which Cassie, a half-elf, runs in the front, and even Marlin can't keep up with him, fortunately, there are no spirits on the second floor, and Cassie this kid also comes to help Marlin from time to time, and the group stumbles and crawls and finally comes to the elevator, but finds that the elevator has broken down.
"What to do!" Cassie asked, looking behind him, "I can feel something behind me!" β
"It's a brainless ghoul, don't worry, it's my button, come, Cassie, you and Ingmar use it." Unbuttoning it from his waist, Marlin snapped it to Cassie's waist and motioned for them to buckle up.
Brainless ghouls have appeared in the corridors in the distance.
Marin put on his gloves, grabbed the rope, and then forced, pulling the kid towards the ground.
Ofie and Lorraine had turned into Treants, and they stood at the entrance to the hallway, heavily armed.
Beep stood behind them, the little guy holding a shining light of rune light.
Marin tugged at the rope and wondered if it was worth it.
It should be worth it, although these four little bastards are all enemies, but judging from their performance along the way, whether it is the final discovery of conscience, Cassie turning back again and again when he escaped, Cohen holding Liukin to his feet, and Ingmar's action of giving the buckle to Cassie, they are not the kind of guys who are completely bad.
With one last pull, Marin saw that they had gone up to the top floor, and then turned around and looked at the other side of the hallway.
There was a middle-aged man standing there, smiling a little hypocritically and with some sincerity.
Did you see him somewhere?
Marin thought about it, sniffed the rancid smell in the air, and finally rememberedβthis guy seemed to be the lich in front of the Silent Hill Church of the God of War!
"It's you!" Marin spoke, "Why did you come here again?" β
"Well, it doesn't seem like I need to introduce you, hello, I'm ...... Well, I still can't say my real name, but you can call me Ayers, and we'll see each other, but this time, I'm not here to harvest, I'm on a contract with your fellow species, and I'm here to help him kill a lich. β
"The lich that ran up is your target?" Marin asked.
"That's right, that's right, you didn't pick up this guy's guy." As he spoke, he carefully took out the half of the head and carefully threw it over.
Lorraine caught his head and threw it back, and Marin reached out to catch the half of the skull: "You don't need to prove anything with it?" β
"No, the guy knows if I'm lying just by looking at my face, and we're the ones who want to die, so I'm not going to risk being killed."
As soon as the lich said this, Marin was a little convinced - the three things that this kind of lich is happiest are to harvest souls, to be able to survive better than his teammates, and to watch his fellow Daoists die: "But why did you have the audacity to appear in front of me again, since you know who I am, you should understand that it won't take me two seconds to kill you now." β
"When you pulled the rope just now, it wouldn't take me two seconds to kill you, right?" The lich replied with a smile.
Ma Lin Yile nodded: "What you said is reasonable, I admit it, since this is the case, let's leave it at that." β
"Yes, that's what I mean, this time I'm here, it's also to be able to say a word to you, I'll think it's the old guy who follows you who has a future, although I'm a lich, but no god has ever said that a lich has to live like this, I think there is meat and soup to follow him, so ...... Also follow you to mix a familiar face, you see how it is. β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Marlin nodded.
Since this man can speak people, then Marin doesn't mind getting to know him once.
If he stops talking at any time, then hammer and pull down.
