Chapter 41: The Clock Strikes Twelve O'Midnight
Obviously, the topic couldn't be explained now, and Lusha just shook her head.
Thinking that it was a bit stupid to ask this question now, Canette coughed a little, and then involuntarily remembered another question: "Uh...... Rey, could all of this have something to do with the demons you've sealed away in the depths of the church?"
Although he didn't think it had anything to do with it, Canette still had some foreboding.
"How could it be! Its abilities don't cause such shadows. Ryan immediately vetoed, "And we've heard its roar before." That guy must still be in the Hallows. ”
...... It's true?
Canette was still skeptical.
The demon always cared him a lot.
"Oh, yes, was that Scalva just now?" Ryan paused for a moment, then remembered the question, and asked Canette excitedly.
"Ah...... Well. The witcher's attention was completely drawn to Lusa, so he only gave a vague answer.
...... Your reaction speed is too full, do you think about it and sigh......
"So handsome!" Ryan was so excited that he couldn't help it, "Really! It would be even more handsome if he wasn't tired and sat on the ground after the fight!"
"I can't help it with such a lot of physical exertion!" the witcher felt inexplicably ashamed when he heard her say this.
It's good not to be reminded by Rya, but this reminder made the witcher suddenly feel so tired again.
Skava itself is okay, the point is that the derived Skava pursuit consumes so much stamina that it cannot be used easily. That's all death.
"So, what's wrong with the agency?" Feeling that the topic was off the mark, Canette coughed heavily at this time, focusing on the question again, confused by this: "Lusa, you ......"
He was halfway through his sentence when his words came to an abrupt end. Because Lusa, who had carefully studied the mechanism, made a quiet gesture at this time, and at first glance she had made a discovery.
Through the light, you can see the expression under Lusha's hood: there is a vague hint of doubt.
Apparently she knew it had something to do with falling into darkness, but she was in a situation where she couldn't choose.
No...... Ring the bell at midnight in the church.
Suddenly, Canette remembered the words of the girl with the blindfolded mask.
Therefore, although the witcher couldn't figure out what it meant, he hurriedly told Lusha. After all, I vaguely feel that it will be related to everything.
When Aya heard this, she suddenly realized. She nodded at Cannet, as if she was quite confident.
She stretched out her two small hands and tentatively fiddled with the lever, and in the "rattle" sound, the hour and minute hands gradually changed positions under her control.
Under the reflection of the silver sword's light, the werewolf's eyes glowed slightly green.
At this time, the demon hunter really noticed something very inconsistent: the hollowed-out clock was stationary. This also means that the clock outside the bell tower is also stopped - I didn't even notice this problem because it was too dark outside, what does that mean?
At this point, Lusha's operation slowly stopped with the rhythm of the gear bite.
She stopped the clock at exactly twelve o'clock, but didn't let it move.
Instead, he turned around and hurried out of the room.
Twelve...... Twelve o'clock in the morning?
Not quite understanding what this Aya was going to do, Canette and Ryan had to hurry up in confusion.
Following Lusa all the way, the two quickly rushed to the top, exposed to the Shadow Storm. There are so many Shadow Demons here that they are suddenly ready to move. This caused Lusa to stop immediately, turn around and shake her head, and stretch her arms to stop the two from passing.
Seeing this, Canette had no choice but to step back and leave the rest to Lusa.
He couldn't understand what Lusa had discovered.
Lusha's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
During this time, every second made the witcher wait for his heart to beat.
And in the shadows, as if slamming the heart, a heavy bell suddenly began to ring.
And then again, and again...... Lusha was ringing the bell.
Just like when the bell rang before. From the huge bell itself, dark ripples began to reverberate.
Didn't you say you couldn't ring the bell at twelve o'clock at midnight...... Canette couldn't help but mutter: What's going on?
Does that mean...... Just remind me, did someone set the clock to ring at twelve o'clock before?
But in fact, from the moment the bell rang, it triggered some kind of mechanism, and the huge clock of the bell tower began to work again.
The dark ripples of the bell body made him panic. But this panic did not last long, and I was encouraged by the sky that gradually began to dissipate the darkness: it really worked!
The darkness was dispelled minute by minute—and now it was almost clear that the bell tower of this church had the effect of striking the clock at twelve o'clock to emit a dark shadow. Otherwise, it can be dispelled.
And the bodies of Rey and Lusa, who walked out of the bell chamber, also began to become transparent and disappeared. Ryan looked at the sky in surprise before leaving, and then disappeared from it just as he remembered to wave goodbye to Canette.
Lusha gathered Carnet and pointed to the ground. Then it disappeared. Obviously, she meant that she would come back here to release the summoning mark, and asked Canette to stay here and not leave.
Isn't it impossible to leave the bell tower directly because of the lockdown...... Thinking so, Canette was going to wait in peace: then it would be better to wait for Lusa to come. It will take a while for her to fly from the church to the top of the bell tower.
So, he looked at the sky that had become clear again and the scenery that looked down condescendingly over the ruins, and was not only in a daze but also a little shocked: the ruins are really big.
The light of the Tower of Remembrance in the distance was even clearer—just not as conspicuous as in the darkness.
What the hell is going on with all this...... The witcher couldn't help but wonder in his heart: I always felt like someone was pulling me during the teleportation...... That really doesn't seem to be a delusion.
Who's pulling me...... What are you going to do?
It was the man who interfered with the teleportation and sent me to another dimension...... If you teleport normally, you will arrive at the Tower of Remembrance that is not affected by the disturbance of time and space.
It's good to have Lusa's summons, otherwise I'd be done by now......
But I don't understand it at all...... What is it to make myself alone and do this kind of action in the bell tower of the church?
Canette was completely confused. Fortunately, the mournful wails of the sealed demon at the bottom of the church could not be heard here, otherwise it would have been even more disturbing.
However, while the witcher was still guessing, he didn't know what he was missing.
