Volume 1, Entering the City Chapter 12, The Mockery of Death
Lu Yi finally remembered that the old man had told him that he Lu Yi was responsible for the damage to the items during the stay, and Lu Yi thought that it was the same as an ordinary hostel, and the customer had to compensate for the damage to the items, who knew that there was such a deep meaning.
The old woman's wrinkled face showed a hint of a smile, "Why don't you want to." ”
"Well, if you are willing, you will naturally be willing, after all, we caused it." Lu Yi sighed in his heart, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
The old woman estimated the value of the damaged items and said to Lu Yi, "The windows, doors, railings plus the shooting fee are cheaper and count you as six thousand, are you cash or credit card?" ”
"I'll go, you're so skilled." Lu Yi complained in his heart, and he suddenly felt that the nearly 600,000 deposits seemed to be quite easy to spend, "Swipe the card." Lu Yi said and got up from the ground.
Seeing Lu Yi take out her wallet, the old woman came over with a smile, "Don't think I'm ripping off customers, at that point in time for you two foreigners, no one dares to take you in except my wife." ”
The old woman had already come to Lu Yi as she spoke, and at this moment she suddenly took out a pendant and yelled at Lu Yi, "Go back." ”
Lu Yi was startled and then felt a wave of energy sweep over him, the ordinary pendant in his eyes actually emitted a dazzling light that only he could see at this time, Lu Yi didn't understand what the old man wanted to do, and suddenly a cold feeling hit his heart, and the feeling was exactly the same as what he felt on the bus.
Lu Yi looked down and saw that there were streaks of black smoke around him, and the black smoke was gradually fading as the light shone on it.
Is there a solution to this task? Lu Yi was ecstatic in his heart.
But he didn't have to wait long for him to be happy, and the black smoke actually took action, and they entangled and expanded into a black cage, trapping Lu Yi in the darkness.
"What are they doing?" Li Xinran heard the old woman scolding and planned to go to mediate, but was pulled by Xiao Xun, "Don't go, grandma is busy." ”
The old woman frowned and seemed to sense all this, and after confronting the black mist for more than ten seconds, the old woman seemed to retract the pendant unwillingly.
Lu Yi's eyes suddenly seemed to regain his sight, and the cold feeling disappeared at the same time.
The old woman shook her head as if she wanted to say something, but at this time, an inexplicable wind blew in the room, and the fragments of the door that fell on the ground kept turning under the blowing of the wind, making a clattering sound, as if the mockery of an unknown existence.
The fragments that had been clinging to the door frame of the room also creaked under the wind, and finally after a little shaking, the fragments fell to the ground with a snap, and on the upward side were three parallel paw prints left by the monster's claws.
As if feeling a huge crisis, the six-pointed star in Lu Yi's left eye instantly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, what happened in front of Lu Yi's eyes had quietly changed.
The three deep scratches continued to bulge in Lu Yi's eyes, and then they broke away from the fragments and floated into the air, a kind of laughter mixed with men and women, old and young, echoed in Lu Yi's ears, and the three traces continued to fluctuate in the laughter.
When Lu Yi blinked again, and the world returned to normal in front of him, the middle-aged man slammed his fist on the wall, "It's too arrogant." ”
"How?" Li Xinran felt the dull atmosphere and asked in a low voice.
Kaoru pointed to the piece that had just fallen, and said with a solemn expression, "The thing that haunted you just came, and it left this message personally. ”
"Three." Lu Yi's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he pursed his lips, and Lu Yi's hands clenched into fists.
"You also saw it, I can't deal with the things that pestered you." The old woman shook her head and walked up the stairs.
"Three? Could it be three points? Li Xinran looked at Lu Yi worriedly.
"No, it's past three o'clock now, it can't be three." The middle-aged man directly denied Li Xinran's speculation.
"And what is this?" Li Xinran was a little anxious.
"It's nothing." Lu Yi's gaze swept over the middle-aged man, and finally looked at Li Xinran, "Don't let it affect your mind." Whatever it means, we're going to have to face it sooner or later, aren't we? ”
The middle-aged man stepped forward and patted Lu Yi on the shoulder, and said, "You were very brave when you crashed into the mirror just now, why did you rush forward in that situation." ”
Lu Yi showed a wry smile, "I am inferior to some people in terms of wisdom, and I am not as good as you in terms of skills. Lu Yi said that he seemed to be useless, but his determined look showed that he had not given up.
"Alright, don't grind around there." The old woman's voice came from downstairs, "Da Feng quickly seal that door, otherwise if any monster comes in, you will be responsible for cleaning up, Xiao Kaoru quickly come down and get that machine, let the little guy pay for an early rest." ”
"And the little one, although you are entangled in that thing, the safety of living in the old woman is still guaranteed, even if it is that kind of thing in my demon hunting family, it is impossible to kill you." The old woman's last sentence was full of confidence, and there was a touch of pride in her words.
Kaoru also raised her head when she heard the old woman's words, and a sense of glory appeared on her face.
Li Xinran heard this, and her eyes flashed, "Old woman, you are so powerful, can you teach us too." ”
The old woman snorted coldly, "I want to stay here, but unfortunately I have to go out tomorrow to deal with the monsters in the mirror." ”
"Mom, isn't there still me?" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old man roared angrily, "What are you doing tonight, tomorrow I will go to the valley with Xiao Xun to train me for three days." ”
The old man's tone softened when he said this, "Of course, old woman, I am not a person who cherishes myself, if you really want to learn some skills, come with me tomorrow, I will take you to the Junction Mountain, if you want to become a demon hunter in my vein, then you must kill a demonized red-maned demon alone." ”
"What's that?" Lu Yi asked the middle-aged man in a low voice.
"It's also a kind of monster, and that nest of monsters just now can probably be on par with a demonized red-maned beast." The middle-aged man said as he kept gesturing with his hands.
"That's right, but don't worry, I won't let you deal with it with your bare hands, and I'll keep those who want to get started safe along the way, but you'll be at your own risk when you encounter the red-maned fierce."
"Buzz." As the old woman's voice fell, Lu Yi and Li Xinran's watches vibrated at the same time, "Trigger a relatively desperate mission: obtain the Helian Clan's Demon Hunting Inheritance."
After accepting this quest, the main quest will be changed to one week later, please note that the Experiencer will complete the quest with the Trainer who will come to this world later, and the end time of the quest will be postponed.
Please make a decision within 30 seconds to accept this task.
Warn! Warn! All the records recorded by the city are 373598 similar to the physical qualities of the practitioners, and none of the practitioners who accepted such tasks successfully survived, and met the conditions of more than 100 people and zero survival, and were judged to be relatively desperate-level missions, please consider carefully. ”
Replace the current main quest with a harder one?
Lu Yi touched his left eye, this magic eye to be assessed has made Lu Yi see unusual scenes several times, and not long ago he helped Lu Yi break free from the illusion, but Lu Yi can't control all this, and the magic eye has not shown attack ability so far, which makes Lu Yi have no confidence to choose this task.
And then again, he's a person who lives in symbiosis with MONOCULUS to pursue the Witcher Legacy, will MONOCULUS help him?
"I am both light and shadow" sounds very coquettish, but the magic eye that has not been assessed in this city for a while coexists with the obviously not weak demon hunting inheritance, Lu Yi knows that he can't do it now.
After weighing it like this, Lu Yi shook his head at Li Xinran and signaled that he would not participate.
