180. This rich darkness and calm
In addition to the faint humanoid firelight, a faint light could also be faintly visible below the edge of the roof, which was all the light sources of the hotel that Zhou Chu had asked Hughes to turn on in advance.
The faint humanoid firelight of Calranton, and the faint light from the outside of the hotel, kept everyone from being too uncomfortable, and could vaguely see each other's figures.
"If there is no light...... Zhou Chu smiled bitterly and stretched out his fingers, "I really can't reach my five fingers." ”
In this cold and foggy, in the thick darkness, everyone did not speak, but was on guard, until they confirmed that there were indeed no twisted monsters accompanied by the darkness, and only relaxed their vigilance slightly, although this was as rich as substance, and with a slightly cold darkness that made people extremely uncomfortable, but it was just not adaptable, it only brought psychological changes, and if there were any twisted monsters in the dark, it would not only bring psychological changes.
Hughes also caught up at this time, he was carrying a searchlight for lighting, but the searchlight, which was usually extremely bright and even dazzling, at this time, looked like a small flashlight with insufficient power, and the light was also very weak.
Hughes was also stunned for a moment after stepping on the roof, and it took a few seconds to adjust to the thick darkness, and then looked at the others.
"Nothing, right?"
Although he was looking at it, he could only see a few vague human figures, and Hughes was even prepared to attack immediately if the other party did not answer.
But apparently he didn't have a chance, Jin Xuanzhu's voice came.
"It's fine. It's just this darkness...... It feels so uncomfortable. ”
It seemed to be as thick as a real darkness, and even the voice could be distorted, and it sounded like Jin Xuanzhu's voice was farther and fainter than where she was.
"Well, let's go down." Zhou Chu stood on the roof of the building and confirmed that there was indeed no vision around, and then beckoned everyone, after all, it was not the same thing to stay here all the time.
He turned to look at the darkness in the distance, it was still pitch black. Nothing to see. But Zhou Chu always seemed to feel. Something is hidden there.
Perhaps human nature is like this, only where the light can shine, or can be seen, will they feel safe and relaxed. At least after returning to the hotel. The atmosphere is not so oppressive and dignified. Jin Xuanzhu let out a long breath.
It's just that no one spoke, and it wasn't until half a ring that Pierrot looked at Zhou Chu.
"Boss. What do you say? ”
I don't know what to do. This was Zhou Chu's first reaction, he really didn't know what to do, he originally thought that the so-called permanent advent of the world and the advent of darkness were the same as the previous advent of the world world, although it was dark, but he could still see things in a sufficient range, but now this darkness does not carry any light source, and he can't even see it with his fingers.
But he couldn't say that he didn't know the way, so he was silent for a while and said.
"I'll contact Yoshiko's side first, see what the situation is there, and then we'll make a decision."
Seeing that the others had no intention of objecting, Zhou Chucai stood up, left the hall, came to a separate room, and turned on the communicator and contacted Fangzi.
After a while, Yoshiko's image popped up.
"What's the matter? Zhou Chusang? ”
"I'd like to ask you guys how's going on?"
"Is this a personal concern, or is it a business connection?" Yoshiko's image smiled.
"Uh......" Zhou Chu was silent for a moment, "business." ”
"It's a little disappointing." Yoshiko was still smiling, unable to see her true emotions, "But there is no situation on our side, the white wolf is contacting other churches, but there should be no major problems, but this darkness is still a little unaccustomed." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Chu nodded, and then told Fangzi that he had turned on all the light sources in advance, because he saw that the background of Fangzi's image was pitch black.
"Not a bad idea." Fangzi nodded, "But for the time being, there is no need, no one on our side seems to be too afraid of this darkness, and the white wolf's spell can also shine, but I personally want to remind Zhou Chusang to pay attention and use resources reasonably, because it is likely to be a protracted battle." ”
"Well, I know." Zhou Chu did not continue on this topic, because although Fangzi's tone was not problematic, it made people feel that it was the people on Zhou Chu's side who were too weak, so they needed and relied on the light source, although those guys on the side of St. Peter's Church did not seem to have anyone who needed the light source to be brave because of fear and fear.
They were all freaks, Zhou Chu smiled bitterly, but he couldn't say such a thing, but after asking Fangzi about their plans and plans, he cut off the communication.
After returning to the hall, Zhou Chu nodded to the others.
"There's nothing going on over there in the church, there's no monsters that pop up or anything like that, it's quiet."
"That's good." Hughes was pleased with the situation, "I thought I was going to face a dense crowd of monsters. ”
"But......" Jin Xuanzhu hesitated, "could it be a little too quiet?" ”
"Maybe." Zhou Chu smiled at Jin Xuanzhu, this woman is not useless, at least she can think of the fact that there must be demons when things go wrong, "It's just that it's hard to be sure of anything now, so Fangzi decided to wait until tomorrow morning to get up, if there is still no movement, then each church will send one or two people out to see the situation......"
Before Zhou Chu's words fell, Pierrot's voice rang out.
"Who's going on our side?"
"I'll go, alone." Zhou Chu replied, "Of course, if anyone of you wants to go instead of me, or go with me, you can also say it." ”
No one spoke, there was some awkward silence, but it was within Zhou Chu's expectations, who would go with you? Just kidding, the thug, the woman who needs to rely on others to live, and the policeman who has a mission and must do everything he can to survive, it seems that he is the only one who can do the least to scruple or anything.
"It's going to be dangerous." Hughes was silent for a moment. Still opened his mouth, he still felt a little apologetic, so he tried to ease the atmosphere, "Actually, you can not go." ”
"It's fine." Zhou Chu smiled, "I have a way to feel the surrounding environment without seeing the things around me, so in this regard, I am indeed the most suitable person." ”
"That'...... Thank you for your hard work. Hughes nodded, and said no more, and he didn't know what to say. Compare it to others. He still felt a little uncomfortable.
Jin Xuanzhu looked like she wanted to speak again, but at the end, what she said to Zhou Chu was like this.
"That'...... You go to bed early. Let's arrange for the vigil. It's good to keep your spirits up. ”
"Good. Then I'm sorry for you. Merely...... It seems like it's still afternoon. Zhou Chu didn't say anything, but made a joke.
"Ahh Jin Xuanzhu reacted at this time, even though it was already like the darkest night. But the actual time was just under 5 p.m.
There was silence again.
"Think of it as experiencing the eternal night of the North Pole." Zhou Chu continued to joke, then distributed the cigarettes on his body to the others, and after discussing the strange darkness for a while, Zhou Chu got up and left the hall.
It was only as he was leaving, that Pierrot caught up, then was silent for a moment and said.
"Chief, be careful, werewolves have night vision, so I can see more clearly than others, and there seems to be something in the darkness."
Pierrot also saw it? Zhou Chu was a little curious, but he didn't ask, Pierrot was able to remind him, just this point, it can already show that Pierrot is not bad, as for the rest, let's talk about it.
Because he himself wants to find out, or more bluntly, if he doesn't want to go, then no one can let him go, but he wants to go.
If he didn't have the courage to face the darkness and find out, then he would not only be sorry for all the previous experiences, but even himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to pass his own level, which became especially obvious after Xia Xiao came back and appeared.
Can you still be who you were back then? He didn't know the answer, but he had to seek, not wait.
The night was uneventful.
When Zhou Chu woke up again, there was still the thick darkness outside the window, and looking at the time displayed on the watch, there was a sense of unreal confusion.
It was still endless darkness, like night, but it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
If the first Nightmare World Realm was this, maybe it would really collapse and be insane, but for Zhou Chu, who has gradually adapted to it now, he will only feel an unreal sense of insanity, not a collapse.
After a simple wash, Zhou Chu contacted Fangzi again.
"Good morning, Zhou Chusang." Yoshiko was still smiling, "How did you sleep last night?" ”
"It's okay." Zhou Chu replied, "What's the situation?" What was your decision? When will someone be sent? ”
"It's good, it's calm, it's good." Fangzi used three very, and his tone was relaxed and pleasant, but this kind of performance made Zhou Chu feel that something was wrong, but he didn't say it, just continued to listen to Fangzi's words.
"Although there is nothing to do, and my advice is to stay in the church, but Scari insists that it is better to go out to see the situation, so whether the others want to or not, they will send someone out of the church today, as for when, it is up to them to decide, Zhou Chusang, what about you?"
"I'll get out later."
"Ah, why did Zhou Chusang go in person, is there no more suitable person?" Yoshiko looked a little surprised, "You must know that the decision-makers shouldn't charge into battle." ”
Zhou Chu was about to say something, but Fangzi seemed to remember something and laughed again.
"But I'm not qualified to criticize Zhou Chusang, because on our side, I also went out to check the situation." (To be continued.) )
PS: Some Kawen, how to say, plans to write a dark fall and ending that can surprise everyone, some of Zhou Chu's changes should also be completed, and some foreshadowing will also be collected, I will try to write better. In addition, thank you for the world-famous, eight-legged, and Baiyun Starry Sky monthly passes, wanton rewards, and the new January, I hope you will continue to support more.
