Chapter 13: The focus is on fear of heights

What does it mean to be in a hurry?

John had never felt it so clearly.

Just as he finally rushed downstairs and picked up the believer upstairs, Theseus finally broke the barrier.

Although only Li Zhi knew that this was only due to the fading of his magic power, because he was pretending to be dripping on the surface, everyone was strongly frightened by the sound of the glass breaking.

This scare is best consumed when it is flickering in the doorway in front of Hughus, resembling ripples in space that resemble ripples on the surface of a lake.

The ripples are like spider webs, like the moment before the mirror shatters.

In the eyes of the only Christians present, this meant that this terrifying monster could break through the defenses of the gods and invade the sacred temple.

"Hurry up and get up the stairs!" Xiusi sent a summons to Li Zhi at this time: "Otherwise, I don't know how to act next!" ”

Obviously, the family ethics drama of John and the two is very full, and it drags on for too long, so that the script is too procrastinated.

The original plan was for Li Zhi to take the three of them to the portal, but Xius pretended not to be able to catch up, and then cut out part of his body to stay in the city, and the other part escaped through the sewers, and finally escaped safely.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the biggest unstable factor here is this believer who makes Li Zhi gnash his teeth.

Even the passerby who never had a sense of existence was better than this one.

To be reasonable, in other Cthulhu running groups, similar to this kind of believer NPC or something, at least one or two spells must be known, right?

What's the mantra for this thing? It's no different from shouting "God!" to Mom and Dad! Help me! ”

What made Li Zhixin even more stuffed was that his father was still here, and there was no way to beat this person hard.

All he could do was to see John rush over, take the believer from John's shoulder, and rush up to the second floor of the church with a 100-meter sprint.

And Theseus was at the bottom of the stairs at this time, and let out a deafening roar in an irregular tone, and the constant roar hid the language of the ancient race.

Only the god of dice knows what this thing is shouting about.

[It...... The acting skills are good, and the lines are ...... If you want to play with it in the future, don't let him read his lines. 】

Fortunately, there are no deep divers here now, or the former deep divers don't understand the language of Shogoth, otherwise they would have understood that this Shogoth has defected.

Hughes recited the confession to the same extent as elementary and junior high school students, and first uttered "Ah! sighed, and then recited in the tone of reading the text, "I can't catch up, I'm so angry, I'm going to climb the wall!" ”

The all-knowing and all-powerful god of dice felt that his embarrassment had been committed.

After Li Zhi and the others finally rushed to the second floor, before they could catch their breath, there was a roar of unknown meaning from behind.

But that's about it.

"It didn't chase after it?" John felt that he had never been so tired since he arrived in this small town.

The sky can be seen, he has been staying in the office for the past few years, dealing with all kinds of documents, related to him, and unrelated to him, all of which are things that the monsters found for him to do, in order to make himself have nothing to do.

This kind of fierce movement is probably the first time in more than ten years.

As soon as the deafening sound downstairs stopped, everyone heard the sound of it gradually climbing away, which made several people finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But Li Zhi had to urge everyone to run the script, "Don't stop yet, this thing will never end like this, let's go upstairs first!" ”

After that, he took the lead and ran upstairs first, followed by a passer-by investigator who had no sense of existence but worked hard.

Then came the believers, and finally John.

Obviously, the distance of carrying believers made John tired.

With his current physical strength, I'm afraid it's a problem to climb the stairs.

What's more, when he fainted, he felt as if he had been punched by someone else, and his eyes were dizzy.

Now the strength to run away depends on the will to persevere.

And if Li Zhi's destination is the top of the building, an eight-story building, a church twenty or thirty meters high, John does not dare to guarantee that he can finish it in one go.

At this time, a strange sound was already heard outside the building.

The sound was like a rag across the table, followed by the ticking of liquid.

Immediately, my heart sank, and the nightmare was not over.

John, who was climbing to the third floor, couldn't help but sigh, he didn't know if Li Zhi's decision to climb the church was the right one.

In this confined space, climbing to the top, he couldn't imagine what their end would be like if there was no way to be rescued.

I touched the pistol on my waist, and there was not a single bullet in it.

After a moment's hesitation, John took off his necklace - a silver necklace with a metal ring pendant.

He carefully opened the metal ring and pinched out a bullet that emitted a cold light.

.40 of the non-standard bullet with a few lines of small letters engraved on it "To the People's Hero: John Chriss." ”

It was a special gift from his superiors when he decided to go to the city.

"Save it and use it when it matters most."

This bullet he has kept until now, it is all his glory, and it has also witnessed all the process of his turning his back on glory.

Never leave your body.

John loaded the bullet and put the pistol in his waist.

At this point, the window outside the wall could already see a huge monster floating outside, trying to stick itself to the wall.

And John on the third floor was apparently seen by it.

After a low roar, a tentacle broke through the window, thinking of John reaching over.

This horror, which was more intuitive than confronting, made John's scalp tingle for a while, and he sped up the speed of going upstairs.

As he disappeared into the stairwell, the tentacle reluctantly reached back.

[It's too slow.] 】

Li Zhi, who had already climbed to the seventh floor, heard the real-time translation of the dice god in his ears.

Xiusi's low roar was indeed complaining about the speed of Li Zhi and the others.

It had worked hard to suppress its speed, which was almost half the speed of its normal creep, but humans were still not as fast as it.

I didn't realize how rebellious my ability to float and climb walls was.

From the seventh floor upwards is the open roof, without walls, and the eighth floor, that is, the tower, is where the portal is located.

Li Zhi stood on the edge and glanced at the speed of Xiuth.

This is just the fifth floor.

What's more serious is that Li Zhi found ...... I'm afraid of heights.

Slowly stepping back, he felt his legs might be shaking.

"Let's take a break." Li Zhi said to the two who were out of breath.

"And what about the other person?" The believer was worried about John running downstairs again.

However, Li Zhi really doesn't like this kind of scene very much, "It's coming, let's go directly to the tower later." ”

After a short rest, a panting John was ushered in, and Li Zhi grabbed one of his shoulders and carried the man away in a semi-forced manner.

The sound of the rope was also heard from the edge of the house, and tentacles spread from the bottom to the top like a tide, and with it came the monster that everyone feared now.

It approached the crowd with a leisurely stroll speed and attitude.

"Hurry up to the tower, there are no windows in the tower, and you can't get in with its form." Li Zhi woke up the three people who were about to perform san Cheak at any time, and ran into the tower first, and by the time the others entered the tower, Li Zhi had already reached the top of the tower.

On the roof of the building, there is a round stone plate with a marble pedestal, on which are carved door seals, and the portal that is supposed to stand here leaves only a cloud of air that is indistinguishable from the outside.

Obviously, this portal has long since failed.

Not even a shadow of magic.

In addition to this door mark, there is also an eye-like mark, and the pupil is a small hole.

But now, whether it is the door seal or this eye-shaped carving, which may be some kind of spell, it has lost its effect early.

Li Zhi felt a little panicked.

He should have thought that the secret room below had a permanent inscription of life extraction, so there was still a supply of magic power around the secret room, but even if there was a huge amount of magic power reserve upstairs......

Atlantis sank more than 10,000 years ago, right?
