Shul slept well at night.

Although his heart was entrenched in the shadows, and although he was surrounded by hostility, he still slept soundly.

Leaning on the back of Moria's toned and elastic deer, smelling the fragrance from the forest, and listening to the lazy and pleasant forest tunes that come out of her nose, even if you have more troubles, you can quickly fall asleep.

However, he still woke up early, and was woken up by Moria.

"Something happened. Lin Jing's hooves kicked Shu'er's back a few times, "In addition, I was slept with by you again, and my back was numb." ”

"Don't make a fuss, who is it, what is the specific situation?"

"Macajalen, he's missing. Moria said lightly, "For you, it makes sense." ”

"Reasonable, but unexpected. Shul shook his head and looked around, there was no one else around, everyone should have gathered in the living room outside.

"Let's go, go out and have a look. Xiu'er moved his body a little harder, his body was normal, there was no discomfort, he rested all night, and the spiritual power consumed by the large-scale magic yesterday afternoon had already been replenished, and his energy was very sufficient.

Walking out of the bedroom, several teammates gathered around the dining table in the living room, no one spoke, and the whole living room was immersed in silence. Even when Shuer appeared, everyone only gestured with their eyes, and no one said a word.

"It's time now. Shul sat in the middle of the seat, and without saying a word about what was going on, he went straight to the point.

"Four thirty-seven. Staring at the pocket watch left by the halfling on the table, Mobuck lost all his previous vigor and replied in a muffled voice, "It's Pavatiga time." ”

"Well, four-thirty-seven, you and his class. ”

"Yes, we're the last on the shift. "Since Macajaren was choked and coughed all the time, in order to take care of him, he was placed on the last post, which could reduce the vigil time by an hour.

"Didn't take anything with you?"

"Not sure. Mia took over the conversation, obviously this was what she had just done, "Everything on the surface is still there, including the pocket watch, which is also hanging on the backpack and has not been taken away, as for the contents of the backpack, it is impossible to judge, after all, we don't know what he has carried." ”

What equipment and supplies to carry in the adventure is often very private information, and the mercenaries who have a good relationship with each other rarely reveal each other.

"Well, I see, when did you find out?"

"Ten minutes ago. "I thought he had gone to the toilet and would be back soon, so I didn't wake you up in time until five minutes ago, when I really felt something was wrong." ”

"Hey, I slept so hard?" Shul frowned, it stands to reason that Mobuck would definitely not intentionally wake everyone up alone and leave him alone, since everyone is up, only he is not awake, then there is only this one possibility.

"You read those words yesterday too late. Moria said softly, "Sasa has come to take over, and if you don't go back to sleep, it means that you have been worth three hours in the end, and you have too little time to sleep." ”

"Let it be so. Shuer was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly, "This is very important, but there is no condition for further study now, so put it aside for the time being, and study the matter on Macageren's side first." ”

"Mobuck, you didn't see him leaving, where were you at the time?" Shul had already stipulated from the beginning that any action must be done in at least two people, and no one should be left alone, not even when going to the toilet. There will be a disappearance of the team, and it could only be Mobuck and Macajalen, who did not follow his orders.

However, Shul was wrong.

"Yes, I didn't. "The dwarf tugged at his hair in annoyance, and his beard shook and shook, "At that time, the two of us were here, chatting while playing with the bits and pieces of today's harvest, and he sat across from me, and as soon as I bowed my head, he disappeared." ”

"Huh?" Shul raised his eyebrows, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, "Suddenly disappeared?" ”

"Well, we're just sitting and chatting, discussing the value of this copper coin......"

"Stop, I don't need to be specific about what you were talking about, the main thing is whether you noticed anything unusual before he disappeared. ”

"No, oh, yes, in the middle of the conversation, he suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't speak for several minutes, until he suddenly disappeared. ”

"That's not normal...... Shure sighed, after being with the dwarves for a long time, he will know that it is too normal to not be able to interject for a few minutes, most of the time, he is talking alone, and the others are too lazy to interject.

"yes, so I didn't care. But if you think about it, there were two times when I asked him, and he ignored me, and I thought he was tired and dozing off. ”

"And then you're still talking?" Shure felt his head hurt, the dwarf's talent for speaking was unmatched, "how long has it been since you found him silent, and finally when he disappeared." ”

"I haven't confirmed this, maybe four or five minutes. ”

A person who nagged for four or five minutes can be regarded as an extraordinary ability.

"Da-da-da-da. Shul didn't say anything more, his fingers habitually tapping on the table, his eyes squinting and falling into deep thought.

"Now, there are two possibilities, and these two possibilities are diametrically opposed ways of dealing with them. For some reason, Shul glanced at Moria, and exchanged it for a familiar smile.

"The first is that he voluntarily detached. ”

"What is the most dangerous thing in the shadow, I don't think anyone will feel unfamiliar. That's right, the most dangerous thing is your own people. ”

"In the otherworldly projection, even an ordinary person, if he is lucky, can kill the most powerful demigod, as long as he is his own person, as long as he ...... He crossed the breakaway point ahead of time. ”

According to the rules of the Atlas Projection, once a higher soul passes through the entrance or exit, the stability of the connection will be disturbed, and the entrance or exit will disappear within fifteen minutes, and although there are multiple exits, they will disappear at the same time.

In other words, as long as someone sneaks through the detachment point, and the people inside do not leave within fifteen minutes, they will never be able to get out again, and can only wait for the projection to last for the end of the time, and annihilate in the void with the projection world. Because of this, the shadow chasers would rather not enter the projection world than chase the shadow with someone who doesn't know the roots, no matter how strong that person is.

Therefore, for the shadow chaser, it is an extremely dangerous thing to suddenly have a teammate disappear, and the most common way to deal with it is to rush to the detachment point as quickly as possible and leave this world first, so as to at least ensure that he will not disappear inexplicably.

"I don't want to comment on the first possibility, everyone has a balance in their hearts and their own ideas. Now I'm going to focus on the second possibility. ”

"The second possibility is that he was controlled by parasitic plants. ”

"There is no doubt that we are parasitized, grass has grown on Moria. ”

"Actually, I told you yesterday that we were all parasitized, but it is likely that he was the most seriously affected, so he was the first to be controlled by plants. Presumably, we will be under control one after another, but it is only a matter of time sooner or later, I am in a hurry to go back because I am worried about this, but unfortunately I can't catch it in time. If you can go back in time, you will have a chance to go to the Temple of Life and find a way to remove the parasitic state. ”

"Captain, no, plants are also life, they shouldn't be able to ......" Mobuck suddenly stopped talking, because he found that Shure's seemingly calm gaze had a very stern hint that made the dwarf feel that if he said another syllable, the captain would pounce and beat him to death.

"Yes, it's hard to get rid of plant parasitism, but the Temple of Life still has a way, I'm sure. There will be a price to pay, but as long as everyone believes in me, everything will be solved eventually. Schulle paused, leaving plenty of time for the others to think, until everyone vaguely guessed his thoughts from the uncommon sense in his words, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that everyone understands, let's not mention this point for now, and continue with the question just now. We have controlled risks at any time, and some people have even reached the most dangerous borders. ”

"It shouldn't be. Although the dwarf didn't fully understand the captain's intentions, Shul must have a reason for stopping him from saying what he just said, and the smart dwarf shouldn't continue to entangle, so Mobuck simply clumsily changed the subject, "I think everyone is quite normal." ”

"Are you sure?" Shul asked rhetorically, smiling, "why do you think Macageren suddenly disappeared from your eyes?

"We're starting to get distracted?" the necromancer's face changed, she was still very clear about mental interference, "what he saw was tampered with?" ”

If the second possibility is true, then this conclusion is probably also true. The parasitic plant could only affect Mobuck's vision now, and there was nothing he could do about hearing, so he could only 'see' that Macageren was still sitting across from him. ”

"Get out, get out. Mobuck slapped his eyelids and muttered in a low voice, "That's the eyes of the dwarven lord, not the place where you make a nest." ”

"If it's the second possibility. Ignoring the dwarf who had scared him, Shul said with a calm face, "Then we need to get him back." I don't want to say anything to leave him alone, let's go back by ourselves, this kind of thing, years of friendship, I don't think anyone here will agree, including myself. ”

So, the diametrically opposite way of coping arises, whether to get out as soon as possible, or continue to look for him. ”

"That idiot isn't the kind of person who left alone to kill us. The dwarf was the first to jump up and said, "Definitely the second possibility." ”

"Don't say it's your guess, just guessing to make a decision is tantamount to tying everyone's lives to the correctness of your guess. ”

"It's not speculation, it's that I believe him. Mobuck affirmed.

"I believe in him too, but now that it's happened, you have to be prepared for the worst. ”

"But ......"

"No, but, if I ask to start looking for an exit now and leave immediately, what will you choose?" Shur asked coldly.

"I ...... I'll work with you to find an exit and leave, and then stay and bring that idiot back, or he'll cry if he is left alone with those damned plants. ”

"Heh, I see. Shul nodded, "Then, the first task is to continue to look for the exit, find the exact location of the detachment point, and ensure the way out...... Hehe, let's go back and bring that idiot back. Otherwise, if you really let you look for him alone, it's okay if you can't come back, in case you come back alive, I'm afraid it won't annoy us all to death. ”

"Hey, thanks, Captain. ”
