Maybe it's because everyone is the protagonist of their own story, so luck doesn't always favor one person Fortunately, Luo Ling's luck was good from the beginning this time, and the benefits were fished into the hole from outside the hole, which made him happy, and on the other hand, his endurance was a little stronger than usual

Thirteen hours had passed, and life had finally visited the pitch-black world, not from the other side of the ancient space gate, but from the other side of the rift

"This breath...... It turned out to be Sharu? In the water, Luo Ling opened his eyes violently

Sharu twitched his slightly bulging, hole-in-the-small nose, his eyes as blue as ice chips half-narrowed, and he sneered at his claws, three huge ice picks condensed and formed, and in a moment, there was a light and crisp sound like the clash of gold and iron

After taking a few steps, Shalu stopped, sniffed, then looked around carefully, and then took a few more steps and stopped to sniff...... After repeating this more than ten times, Sharu came to the waterhole, put one foot halfway into the pool, and quickly retracted, and then, as if fascinated by the scenery before him, Sharu stood by the river, no longer moving forward, but refusing to leave

In the originally dark water, two points of turquoise cold light gradually appeared, and the water that continued to flow down from the waterway rippled on the surface of the pool, and the two points of turquoise light were twisted and swaying with the ripples, which seemed a little hazy and illusory

Sharu slowly opened his arms and arched his body, and in that way, it seemed that if it moved a lot, it would wake up a sleeping person, and the water-blue light gradually leaked out of its body, and burned silently, so that its white python-like skin and covered with smooth scales flickered with a strange white light like snow that had formed a hard shell in the winter sun

Just like in the last battle, two columns of sharp ice edges sprouted from Sharu's shoulders and extended to his back, but this time the ice edges were incinerated by the blue flames, which were noticeably harder and sharper, and the cold was overwhelming

Sharu's eyes stared at the little green glow in the water, and there was a look of defense and expectation on his face

A wave suddenly erupted from the pool, breaking the silence of the waves, more than a dozen thorny tentacles shook, and water streams were constantly ejected, and these water currents had turned into slender ice edges like crystal green at the moment of flying, and they shot towards Shalu one after another with the sharp roar of crossbow arrows

Without hard connection to this round of ice arrows, Shalu flashed back to more than twenty meters away, and at the same time as it appeared in another position, several thorny tentacles the thickness of thumbs silently pierced and swept through the place where Shalu was standing, not only faster than the ice arrows, but also there was no light on the thorn tentacles

Luo Ling rushed ashore from the waterhole with a shadow of water, thorny tentacles flying like whips, some roundabout, some stabbing, aiming directly at Sharu

Sisaru threw two ice picks from his claws, more than twice as fast as the ice arrows that Luo Ling had just ejected from the vines, and the fast thing was that its figure suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in the air behind Luo Ling, waving its claws, and plunging four huge ice picks directly into Luo Ling's back

As if there were eyes on its back, several thorny tentacles flashed with a turquoise light to meet the icicles, while the other tentacles curled and stabbed at Sharu's body, or silently wrapped around its limbs, with a clear division of labor and quick reactions, as if it had long known its intentions

Shalu terminated the surprise attack, and it disappeared again, and when Luo Ling had just smashed the ice pick that was shooting from the front with two tentacles the thickness of two fingers, it appeared from Luo Ling's left side of the air, still condescending, one claw swung down from top to bottom, attacking the top of Luo Ling's head, and the other claw advanced from back to front, piercing Luo Ling's waist ribs

It is also dealt with with tentacles, two tentacles block falling attacks, and two tentacles volley and stab attacks, and there are five more, or roundabouts, or stabs, attacking Shalu's vital point

Sharu knew that the two tentacles that blocked its attack were not enough to completely unload its attack, and it also had a certain confidence to break through the rattan armor on Luo Ling's body and hurt Luo Ling's body, but it did not have the confidence to deal with the tentacles that attacked it, it could sense the special power contained in the tips of those vines, and it also knew very well that the powerhouses who used the power of the Sixth Prison Seal had more or less deadly toxins in their hands, and he also knew that the power of these tentacles was not only in the toxins, It seems that there is an energy that makes it feel very bad in some tentacles, which makes it very jealous

Shalu disappeared again, and when it really let go, when the teleportation-like magic skill was used, there was no preparation process No one is weirder than it, no one is better at using space than it, this time, it teleported to Luo Ling's right, and squatted, one claw into Luo Ling's waist, and one grabbed and attacked Luo Ling's crotch

The tentacles' movements are still accurate, fast, and deadly, just like just now, Sharu can only guarantee that he will hurt Luo Ling's body, but he can't guarantee how high the damage value can be, and it itself is very likely that it will not be able to withstand the attack of the thorny tentacles

'Strength is strong and self-counting' Shalu has realized this, it is using its own expertise to react with Luo Lingbi, and it is very mental and mental power to deploy many thorny tentacles without stopping, once there is a small loophole such as the tentacles are entangled with each other, intercepted or the attack is not timely enough, Shalu will launch a real deadly attack

Shalu disappeared again, appeared in front of Luo Ling, and then flashed, and appeared on the right again, after three times and several false attacks, Shalu suddenly loosened the ice pick on the claw in the process of swinging, although the person disappeared, but the attack of the ice pick was still the same, flashing, swinging down, flashing again, this time, it was no longer an ice pick that it used to attack Luo Ling, but a giant claw burning more than two feet of ice flame

It's a pity that the vines that penetrate the true qi are not inferior to Luo Ling's own arms at all, and the attack and killing of Shalu can be described as dazzling and weird, and he has no choice but to meet Luo Ling, who has a 'thousand hands and a thousand eyes' all-round offensive and defensive means, just like a dog with a hedgehog and nowhere to go

Both sides are biased towards skills, but one is good at attacking, attacking the opponent at a strange angle must be saved, mobilizing the other party with a combination of virtual and real means, making it tired of coping, and then looking for opportunities to annihilate the enemy, and the other is neutral and peaceful, with static braking, both defense, and hidden edges, which is reflected in the word "consumption".

One is fast to many, the other is many to fast, at a glance, I saw that Luo Ling was surrounded by a butterfly-like shuttle and fluttering figure, as if he had completely grasped the initiative and took a closer look, he could show Luo Ling calmly and calmly, no matter where Shalu appeared, there were always enough vines to attack him, forcing Shalu to do a fearless blow of killing 400 enemies and self-damage 1000, or continue to flicker and teleport, looking for the choice of opportunity

This kind of only see the move, do not see the fight against the attack than the kind of hard and smashing iron collision is strange and dangerous, every battle is condensed with many calculations of both sides, every attack is fast and deadly, but it can not be implemented, so the degree of the two sides is getting faster and faster, the mind is fully open, the power is fully open, unconsciously, the cyan and blue light has been burning on the surface of the bodies of both sides, and the waterways near the two are illuminated by this light, and it seems that both sides have used all their strength

Suddenly, Shalu flashed and appeared twenty meters away, and then flashed again and moved away twenty meters Luo Ling stopped his hand, as if in the water, and continued to look at Shalu faintly with blue and scorching eyes

A layer of fine cold seeped out from the surface of Shalu's skin, and then turned into tiny ice beads and fell, although they were still tense and staring at each other, but the atmosphere of the previous battle was no longer in Shalu's knowledge, he had lost, he had done his best, but the other party still had the strength to spare, not only in strength, but also in mind

At the same time that the two were inseparable, Luo Ling took out some of his strength and thoughts, quietly nourished the vines, spread them along the ground, and then weaved a large net in the dark, this net was woven, it will rise silently, and finally form a cage, with a cage full of energy to cut off the space, once fully realized, Shalu knows that he will become a caged bird, its teleportation can freely travel through the air and water, and even as long as there is an impression in the mind, through matter such as rocks or something, there is no problem only, It is ineffective against the isolation layer formed by the special energy that is completely sealed, such as the power of the Hellmark, there are too many mysteries in this power to be ignored by this kind of spell of Sharu

Luo Ling also carried out with the attitude of giving it a try, if it really worked, he would mercilessly kill Sha Lu for a life that he did not believe, Luo Ling has always been ruthless

The web of thorns was revealed by Shalu in the process of contraction, and it had not yet fully formed a cage, and although Shalu's plan to successfully get out of Luo Ling failed, he learned from the other party's reaction that this method was feasible

"This is a good start, these vines can not only improve the power contained in them, but also make a fuss on the vine seeds, and the legend says that there is a kind of shadow vine ......"

Luo Ling no longer looked at Shalu, turned around, cut off a batch of vines that nourished the net, the thorny tentacles moved, and suddenly went into the water again

Sharu stood there with a grim look in his eyes, looked at it for a moment, and then disappeared into the huge dome behind the crack in an instant

The two did not communicate a word from beginning to end, only decided the war and the truce by their eyes and attitudes, a very old rule, the strong stay, the weak defeated, on the surface, seems to be agreed and observed, but both sides know that this rule can be distorted, as for whether or not to pay the price of a mortal enmity and distort this rule, it depends on whether the interests in the fight are enough to be worth it

Luo Ling didn't do his best to kill Shalu in the battle of the right talent, but this didn't mean that he didn't want to kill Shalu, if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to do so, but if he couldn't do it for the time being, it was necessary to be subtle and not completely tear his face

In fact, just now, Luo Ling laid a fine vine on the ground that was not much thicker than a toothpick, as long as Shalu landed, the power of the ice true qi could erode its body Luo Ling didn't think that he could directly freeze Shalu into a refrigerated corpse, but as long as there was a reduction or retention effect of about 12 seconds, Luo Ling had a way to continuously transmit the power of the ice true qi to Shalu's body in a very short period of time, but unfortunately, Shalu kept teleporting in the air from beginning to end, and never landed

"A guy who also has rich combat experience and is extremely cautious, and focuses on the use of skills, as well as the control and use of power" Luo Ling smiled secretly, he and Shalu, in terms of fighting style and characteristics, have a lot of similarities, and it can even be said that the two powers of the same genre are embodied "It's an interesting coincidence, fighting like fighting against another self Shalu may think the same way"

Luo Ling feels that in his life, the battles he will experience will definitely be countless, just like ordinary people will not remember how many meals they have eaten in their lives, but some special battle processes will be consciously or unconsciously engraved into the depths of memory

This contest with Sha Lu is exactly this kind of stewed meat and rice, although it only takes more than ten minutes before and after, but Luo Ling feels that this ten-minute fierce victory has been defeated and practiced hard alone for half a year, which is not only an advantage reflected in actual combat training, but also a rare process of effectively strengthening and exercising consciousness, which is a harvest that cannot be obtained without a hearty battle

Moreover, Luo Ling knew very well that at his level, the skill was no longer something that could be practiced by kicking the stake a few more times and swinging the sword a few more times Sha Lu is so fond of fighting, he must have the same feeling

"Maybe if we meet again, both parties can bring surprises to each other, or rather, thrills"

Reconnecting the vines laid under the water, the trap was activated again, Luo Ling continued to guard the point in the water, and everything seemed to have not changed, but in fact, now, while waiting to calculate others, Luo Ling had to be more vigilant than usual to guard against other people's calculations Although he felt that Shalu was qualified to be a good 'whetstone', he was also very aware of the importance of the Ancient Space Gate to Shalu, and Shalu appeared here, and the possibility of a coincidence was too small

Literature Network Fantasy Fantasy Channel, there are many exciting contents waiting for you**********

Time seems to have slowed down or even stopped because of the cold, the only thing that has not stopped, only the temporary waterhole that flows from the inclined waterway to the bottom, and the flowing water that pours into the huge dome because the waterhole overflows is silent in a long wait, without saying a word, not moving, such an experience has been countless for Luo Ling, among the part-time occupations that he has relied on to survive until now, there is a very remarkable one, that is, a sniper

Years of living like a lone wolf taught Luo Ling how to endure loneliness, and also made him good at patience and waiting for the water, Luo Ling sat on a simple rattan chair supported by thorny tentacles, with his large sniper rifle in front of him

When Luo Ling was recuperating from his injuries at the Guangcai Street base, he tried to further transform it, mainly trying to make a breakthrough in high power, and finally, because he was technically guided by professionals in the Thunderfire Organization and basically succeeded, from the appearance, the weapon was already very similar to the weapons of the pulse cannon, but it still used live ammunition, rather than some kind of energy flow as the main damage substance

Live-ammunition weapons, non-automatic loading, the structure is as simple and single as possible, and there is a lack of multi-purpose adaptation Luo Ling feels that this is the sniper rifle he wants, just for sniping, and the failure rate is low. He has only the best for himself, not the best, not the most expensive

Despite the use of multiple punching and other weight reduction methods, this two-change sniper rifle named 'Mammoth', the weight is still over 35KG with a total length of 178CM, and the weapon uses a ?50-inch special rifle bullet, which is not so much a gun as a gun

The longest firing range is 3500 meters, the best firing range is 1501500 meters, the loading time is 2 seconds, the initial bullet is 2.1 kilometers per second, the maximum is 2.3 kilometers per second, which is 2.22.5 times that of ordinary rifle bullets, and the recoil is 2.7 times that of the AP sniper rifle produced by the British International Precision Instruments Company in the past

This kind of power, even Luo Ling himself, is a little scared, once he is shot in the head, in the case of no armor, with his strength, he can only lead to death" I now somewhat understand why those heavily armored nobles in Europe in the past hate the crossbow in the hands of the rebels so much" This is Luo Ling's evaluation of this weapon in front of his family when the gun was completed

No matter how strong the strength is, it is impossible to prevent thieves every day, there is no power to rely on, everything is abandoned, even if he is a master of the heavenly position, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not be defeated or die

Just this reason is enough for Luo Ling to ruthlessly kill any living creature that comes out of the ancient space gate, there is no justice here, there is only the winner, snatching him from the hands of the snatcher and snatching other people's things, just like lions, wolves, tigers and leopards each show that they can snatch meat from the mouths of other beasts, whoever finally eats the meat into his mouth is the winner

Under the water, the ancient space door finally changed, the magic pattern on the platform overflowed with silver magic light, converging to the groove in the center, and a round cake with a diameter of 3 meters from the bottom to the top, like a rising water surface, gradually filled into the form, as if in the air, there was already a pie-shaped container, just waiting for the silver light to overflow

The silver light is so soft, reminiscent of the bright moonlight, the silver light is so smooth, it reminds people of their own light mirror, the silver light stands in the water, with a sacred charm, illuminating the surrounding waters, making people feel that the water is no longer cold, but has a trace of warmth, as if this magic light is the holy light with healing and revival ability

Luo Ling's half-squinted eyes flashed with a blade-like sharpness, he was ready, for insurance, the trajectory had also been tested before, with his experience as a sniper, coupled with the ability of the water true qi to control the water field, he was confident, in the entire Guang'an, no one had a higher shooting hit rate than him in the water

The first target appeared, a humanoid creature, Luo Ling, who was more than two hundred meters away in a bulky deep-water anti-pressure suit, couldn't see him, but he could sense his outline, as if he was observing with a thermal image, and Luo Ling could feel every small movement of the other party

Of course, the thermal induction system of this era is already in a semi-retired state, and almost all the armor of demon hunters has the function of completely isolating the temperature, and even the exhaust gas from the breath is discharged after special treatment, otherwise, on the surface of the demon beasts everywhere, the demon hunters will only be constantly surrounded and fall into traps

From the target's movements, Luo Ling can obtain some useful information: "He is a member of the side that arranged the fire demons and the resentful spirits, and he is a scout, and they succeeded, they don't know that the fire demons and the resentful spirits have all been killed, and they are doomed......"

A waterline appeared from the darkness, penetrating the target's chest and abdomen from the oblique side, and the powerful kinetic energy pushed the target's body more than ten meters away, Luo Ling sensed that the target only shook lightly a few times, and then fell silent, and the liquid with temperature slowly flowed out of the shooting hole after a few seconds

At the place where Luo Ling's mind moved, a thorny tentacle closest to the target reached over silently, rolled up the sinking corpse, pulled it into the darkness in the distance, and injected a little bit of cold ice power, the corpse was frozen and there would be no more blood left to pollute the waters

At the same time, the second target came out of the space door, and as soon as his back foot left the space door in a bulky deep water suit, another waterline ran through his body and pushed it away, and there were also tentacles to respond, ensuring that the place where the space door could be illuminated by the silver light was empty, and there were not too many blood and other pollution impurities

And then there's the third goal, the fourth goal...... This was a typical ambush, Luo Ling deliberately only shot the chest and abdomen but not the head, in order to use the kinetic energy of the bullet to push the corpse away, and to create as little impurities as possible such as blood

When a person sees blood everywhere in front of him, he immediately understands what is happening, but when he sees that there is only emptiness in front of him, he will make a simple thought, where has my companion gone? Being killed is just one of his several guesses, and it will not be like the former, directly affirming a certain fact In the process of thinking, people will unconsciously still follow the original thought instructions and make movements, it is enough, as long as the body is not just half out of the body and immediately retracted, Luo Ling's bullet can make him never go again and, Luo Ling is estimating the predetermined value, he knows that the later he comes, the more people who lean out see the emptiness in the water, the easier it is to wake up, so, As for the other side of the space gate, whether someone will show something from the abnormal posture of one foot or half a leg that disappeared into the space door at the end of the companion, it can only be at the mercy of heaven

Luo Ling has tried his best to be perfect, but the accident still produced a fifth target, after being hit by Luo Ling's gun, the bullet actually did not penetrate Luo Ling immediately realized that this guy is either wearing a very special armor, or a strong man who can protect his body with some kind of energy, simply put, it is the leader of the figure appeared, so Luo Ling immediately fired the second shot, but this shot only grazed one side, and was forcibly dodged by the target

Luo Ling estimated that the other party was injured, otherwise the second shot would not even be able to wipe the edge, he did not open the ice trap, nor did he continue to shoot, but only controlled several thorny vines to silently roll towards the fifth target, his main attention was still locked on the space door, because he guessed that there was more than one leader of the enemy

One is proficient in creating resentful spirits, controlling corpses, summoning corpse demons, and slave corpse demons, and the other is proficient in arson, 999's fire demon is his pet enemy, and there is at least one one, and it should be playing with fire, this is the information obtained from the corpses seen along the way outside, and in the face of multiple strong enemies, Luo Ling will never give up any opportunity to seize the opportunity to attack

Sure enough, the strong enemy of the fire system that Luo Ling guessed appeared, unlike the previous targets, this guy did not wear any deep water clothing, but was wrapped in a layer of flame flowing light mask, and the inside of the light mask was full of orange-red flames, very bright, so bright that Luo Ling could clearly see it from his lurking position

No longer hesitating, the thorn vines buried in the bottom of the water used all their strength, while rushing up, while releasing cold cold temperatures, the water around the vines froze in seconds, and the frozen cold energy was like electricity that instantly spread throughout the entire water

Luo Ling fired two shots in succession, and then the whole person shot out, swimming three times faster than the 31 meters and seconds of the fastest sailfish in the upper reaches of the known world, and close to 100 meters and seconds

The two bullets fired by Luo Ling both effectively hit the target, the first one was not physically damaged to the flame man, but only made his light mask centered on the hit point, lighting up a layer of dazzling white light energy confrontation, and the flame energy shield successfully blocked the attack of the first bullet

The second bullet that followed broke through the flame shield and entered the right rib of the flame, and the strong impact aftermath caused a large handful of fine sparks to spread from the wound, like dozens of electric arcs welding in the water, extremely dazzling

As the Flame Man roared angrily, the ice power of the trap began to eat away at his body

The Boomer resisted in time under the sudden trauma, and he suddenly exploded like a huge bomb, and the high-temperature flame fluctuations with the color of blue and white in the gold neutralized all the approaching ice power, and the explosion pushed all the water around his body away, or vaporized, and the water of the entire waterhole was violently stirred as a result

Luo Ling knew that the fact that this was no longer a deep-water area was exposed, but it didn't matter, he still had follow-up arrangements, and he was already close to the Flame Man

Although the flame explosion is powerful, it also reveals the taste of the end of the strong crossbow will be used to force away the erosion of cold qi in luo ling's opinion it is already a chaotic show of cowardice to meet the violent release of flame fluctuations luo ling did not use the tentacles this time, but used his right hand to slap it out with one palm, and did his best and

With a muffled sound, the center of the flame that continued to burst, a cloud of turquoise ice flame burst, and the power of the momentum of the blow was almost twice as strong as the power of the fire explosion that temporarily responded to the enemy, from the inside out, the rolling high-temperature flame instantly became a rootless virtual fire, which was quickly devoured and destroyed, and the flame man had condensed into a blue ice body, and even the original flames on Lian's body were still condensed into ice in a burning form

There was also a milky white holy light in the water, like a rainbow and waves, slashing, it was the fifth target who was injured but not killed, he shattered the deep water coat, and attacked with anger and all his body Unfortunately, it was still a beat late, and his powerful teammates had been frozen by Luo Ling

Luo Ling sneered and wandered away without any grace, avoiding the blow that almost meant saving face from the other party, although Luo Ling was confident that he could take it calmly, but he did not give the other party this face Under normal circumstances, this is a hint that the enemy is not qualified to be respected

Luo Ling didn't simply swim, as he swam, several thorny vines with the thickness of three fingers violently pumped towards the frozen flame man, and the green ice chips shot out indiscriminately in the water, and the cold power spread rapidly, forming an unusually huge ice ball in an instant, and the fifth target's lightsaber was to fight against this majestic cold force in the process of freezing, and was instantly submerged

As the fifth target watched as he was about to be engulfed in the ice flames that had been swaying and bursting from the previous explosion, a tentacle crept wrapped around his ankle, pulling him far away from the area of the explosion

It was Luo Ling, although his main body was wandering away, but the thorny tentacles that could be arranged were always waiting for the opportunity, he had prepared a huge ice cage for the enemy, and the trap had not yet been moved, but now, it seemed that it was not necessary

The fifth target also received a slap from Luo Ling, but this slap did not turn him into an ice cube, but into a refrigerated body

Luo Ling needs a living mouth, otherwise, who will ask for the final harvest of this hard ambush? Even if you don't have anything, you have to get some news?

Luo Ling is actually not worried about the unexpected harvest on the flame man, although he is the strongest of the two, but Luo Ling still does not feel that the treasure is kept by him assuming, take ten thousand steps back, the treasure is indeed kept by the flame man, then, the items that are not afraid of his high temperature flame, theoretically immune to his own ice power Luo Ling thinks so, of course, if the speculation fails, he has nothing to regret through calculations, and perfectly eliminated the owner of those golden neck rings, a strong man who is almost not inferior to him, If you still have to complain about such a result, it will be too unblessed

Luo Ling still seemed cautious, he didn't even search the fifth target for the first time, but used several tentacles as a frame, formed a cryogenic cabinet, put the fifth target in, and then, with the tentacles pulled to a corner, his eyes were always watching the movement of the space door

"There is also a leader who is good at making necromancy spells come out yet, the fifth target just now is the sword, which is obviously the power of holy light, he can't be the person who commands the corpse man and cultivates the dark rot energy, and the flame man does not have this condition, then, the third person must exist and hide behind the space door, hum, anti-ambush"

Silently swimming in the water near the space gate, Luo Ling's mind flew and analyzed, his fingers ran over a small piece of ice with a turquoise core, and with a little force, he pinched it and smashed it

In the center of the ice cube was the slag of the flame man, Luo Ling looked at it carefully, "It's organic matter, it's good"

After determining that the Flame Man might be some kind of humanoid life that had cultivated the Flame Energy, Luo Ling was relieved that he was most afraid that the other party was some kind of unknown life, such as the kind of elemental life with consciousness that was difficult to really eliminate

Immediately involved in the problem of cleaning up the battlefield, the simplest is to pour water and ice, all poured into the level dome Luo Ling has always thought that the bottom of this dome is a magma river, if this pouring finally causes the fragments of the Flame Man to reunite in the magma and resurrect it, it will be too depressing

Now Luo Ling is much more relieved, the flame man wants to live again, unless there is a certain level strongman who has studied the soul is willing to make a huge sacrifice, otherwise it is absolutely hopeless Luo Ling's killing level is very professional, there is no proof of death, there is no way to live, and there will be less trouble in the future

The rumbling ice wall was demolished by Luo Ling, tens of thousands of tons of water poured into the abyss from the cracks of the recovery, large and small ice cubes, along with all the traces of battle, were all washed away, and the corpses of the enemy were all placed in the corner intact Luo Ling didn't want to do anything he regretted, because he couldn't rule out the possibility that the real boss of these people was actually an ordinary person with sparse combat power

The Ancient Space Gate was still in an active state, where it was quietly flashing with silver light, and the fierce battle just now did not cause any damage to it, which made Luo Ling dare not take a peep

Standing ten meters away in front of the door and thinking for a moment, the corners of Luo Ling's mouth curled up a small arc, "I have enough vines and long enough tentacles, why bother to go over in person?" Let the tentacles probe what kind of greeting you have prepared for me on the other side of the door."
