Chapter 40: Beware of those standing behind you

After being treated by Robert's engraving ability, the wound on the drunken Jeff's head has stopped bleeding and has been bandaged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Qiu paced back and forth beside a few people, judging from Jeff's words, they couldn't count on Jeff at all - this uncle who had 7 years of experience in fighting with S-class monsters had never even seen the face of a monster.

Most of the heroic deeds Jeff talked about are stories of him fighting wits and courage with the C-class monsters that overflowed from the Calamity Moon.

The only information he had was that he had basically mastered the monster's attack pattern - by manipulating inanimate objects in the real world to attack, the long sword that suddenly appeared and pierced Robert's abdomen was the most common attack pattern of that monster.

However, the most difficult problem is that they can't attack the S-class monster whose entity is in the illusion world.

"Here's how our team looks: 4 Royal Knights, 1 Scientist, and 1 mascot. ”

Such a loose team was not enough to defeat the S-class monsters that required the Templars to contend with, not to mention, among the four royal knights, one was Erin who was unable to exert her strength due to fear of ghosts, and the other two were injured to varying degrees, compared to him, Tesla was the only ones who could maintain a normal level.

Several people looked at Lin Qiu in unison.

"I think the safest way now is to go to the church to find the Holy Maiden, if it's her, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with just an S-class monster, right?"

Regarding Lin Qiu's suggestion, Erin raised her hands in agreement. Tesla and the others came out overnight, also to solve the monsters that kept overflowing from the illusion space, and now that they have an easier way to end, they naturally have no reason to object. The only one who showed displeasure was Jeff.

This drunkard has an almost paranoid insistence on killing that S-class monster with his own hands.

It seemed that after some mental struggle, Jeff looked at the fog outside the house and compromised, "But after sending you to church, I'll still go find the monster - only I have a way to find it!"

In the depths of the mist, it seems that the scene of seven years ago is reflected again.

He woke up from the street late that night as usual, his head swollen from a hangover. There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and he was in a trance on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. It is undoubtedly a lucky thing for a blue-level royal knight like him to stay in the home of a big nobleman.

Having lost his goal, he could only soak in the tavern every day, and get drunk with other knights under the command of the nobles every day. In the imperial capital, blue-tier royal knights are not scarce, but the city does not seem to need their strength, and in times of peace, their only role is to compete among nobles with each other's power.

In the eyes of the great nobles, the royal knight is just a number, one more than him is not much, and one less is not less.

He shook his head, and a figure stepped out of the fog and gradually walked towards him.

"Master Jeff, what do you say, what is a hero?"

It was a voice that echoed in his ears for countless nights, and every time it sounded, his heart was filled with hesitation.

"Uncle. ”

Lin Qiu's voice pulled Jeff back to reality, and the former turned pale and took a step back to the left. In the thick fog, two figures slowly approached them—twisted steps and low growls that told them that the two uninvited guests didn't seem to be human.

"When the moon is in calamity, some people will suddenly become like this, right?"

The bloodshot eyeballs that were about to be squeezed out of their sockets made Lin Qiu sick to his stomach for a while. The two humanoid creatures, twitching several times with each step, reminded him of some kind of creature before the time crossing—zombies.

This is already the second wave of uninvited guests who broke into the activity room, and the moment they were pierced, these twisted creatures instantly turned into nothingness, and the feeling was like being pierced in the air. So this time, Lin Qiu waited for them to approach and threw a punch that hit the head of one of the "zombies".

As he expected, the fist easily passed through the "zombie's" head, and the attacked "zombie" dissipated into the air.

It was not aggressive, and its speed was extremely slow, Lin Qiu felt that this thing was more like some kind of projection - could it be that the monster saw that the physical attack was ineffective against them, and used mental pollution instead?

Among the several people, the only one who was hurt should be Erin who was cowering in the corner, and the kind Prince Richard was by her side regardless of her previous suspicions, whispering to comfort her.

Tesla carefully flipped through the notebook left by his mentor and muttered, "There is no information about this monster on it. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the low roar sounded again, and the same twisted figures sprung up from the fog, this time, as if the entire street was occupied by such things. They roam the streets aimlessly, with muffled roars from time to time.

"Shall we stay here and wait for dawn? Anyway, the Holy Maiden will soon notice this level of change. ”

Erin held back her retching and proposed. Although Lin Qiu proved with her actions that these wandering projections did not have any real lethality, she absolutely couldn't bear to huddle herself with such a terrifying thing.

"This shouldn't be a monster, right?"

"That's right, it's the most basic creature in the illusionary space, a projection based on people's thoughts. ”

A familiar voice came from outside the door, and the female knight with short chestnut hair slowly walked up to Lin Qiu and glared at him dissatisfied: "I said, why is there you where there is trouble?"

"Yo, Alyssa, what a coincidence!"

Lin Qiu was overjoyed and greeted the visitor, even if he was a master who had watched "The Grudge" nine times, he was resistant to squeezing together with the group of zombie-like projections from the bottom of his heart.

"How did you end up in the hallucinatory space?"

Illusion space?

Everyone was stunned, and nothing changed around them, except for the twisted creatures that suddenly appeared in the thick fog.

"Hmm...... That's a long story, the general situation should be that we were about to take the time machine invented by Tesla senior to return to Bai Ji, but suddenly a space pirate suddenly killed on the way and destroyed the time machine, so we had to crash-land here. ”

"Really?"

Alyssa smiled slightly, surprisingly not refuting him: "Then please stay here in peace and wait for the end of the incident." ”

"Good idea, I'm going to lay the floor. ”

"I'm talking about them, you come over to me. ”

Alyssa grabbed Lin Qiu and pulled him straight out of the door.

Twisted creatures can be seen everywhere, Lin Qiu carefully let himself not touch these ghost things as much as possible, the Wind Furnace Academy has become dilapidated at some point, and the activity room is even more covered with cobwebs from the outside, and it looks like a haunted house at the moment. Similar roads, but with a strange atmosphere.

After dragging Lin Qiu out of the door, Alyssa followed him without saying a word.

"Alyssa...... How did you find out about us?"

Alyssa was still silent, and at the same time as her hand reached for the long sword at her waist, Lin Qiu had already turned around, and the deep sea blocked the sword that stabbed at his vest at the last moment. He jerked back, widening the distance between himself and the other man.

After the failed raid, Alyssa looked distressed, and she asked, "Why? This should be the same as Alyssa with your memory......

Indeed, the other party is exactly the same as the Elisa in his memory in terms of body shape, facial features, and even personality.

"Intuition. ”

When the real Alyssa was beside him, it brought him an incomparably reassuring feeling, but in just a few steps, the "Alyssa" standing behind him made his hair stand on end, and when her hand touched the long sword, this sense of crisis immediately climbed to the peak, and he almost subconsciously pulled out of the deep sea to block the other party's attack.

Even the deep sea doesn't seem to be aware of the anomaly. can hide the detection of the deep sea, then the identity of the other party is about to be revealed.

- The S-class monster that Jeff mentioned is also the initiator of this thick fog.
