vs 15 The Call of the Dead
Alicia has gone through a lot of hardships and finally passed these strange trials, and it stands to reason that it is time for the game to be cleared, but in the face of the smiling tiger of the green dragon, Alicia has never dared to relax. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason is simple, that is, she does not believe Qinglong's explanation of his series of actions at all. She always felt that Qinglong's motives would not be so simple.
He is a branch president, and in the face of Alicia and his party, who came to the door to find fault just because the money was stolen, he could completely ignore it at the beginning. Tanya's woman is not like a fuel-efficient lamp, and since she can sit in that seat, she should have enough ability to handle such situations. However, before things could get out of control, Qinglong suddenly intervened. From the teahouse to the trial, it looks like it's aimed at Alicia and them. This made Alicia have to suspect that the green dragon was coming for them at all.
However, the ultimate goal of this trial is to choose the president of the Thieves Guild, which is something that Alicia can't figure out. You said that if it was unfortunate that Alicia was lucky, she passed all the trials like now, and Qinglong seemed to give her a big gift. If you want to deal with them, with Qinglong's scheming, you should be able to think of a better way.
After sorting out the situation a bit, it is not difficult to find that the only general explanation for the current situation is that Qinglong's original idea was to let Alicia participate in the trial. But what does this really benefit him?
Don't understand.
Alicia couldn't figure it out, no matter how much she thought about it.
All people in this world, no matter what they do, whether they have a purpose or a subconscious mind, will definitely act in a direction that is beneficial to them. Alicia doesn't believe that there is a kind of person in this world who does whatever she wants, and doesn't care about what she does. Since Qinglong is known as a fraudster, it should not be such a person. Then, there must be a convincing reason behind him letting Alicia participate in this kind of trial.
After thinking about it, it still didn't come to fruition in the end. However, she no longer wondered if Qinglong had prepared any more traps in this secret passage. They've been through so much this night, it would be ridiculous to bury them another trap now. If you don't want them to pass the trial, just dispose of them halfway.
Besides, being in this small dark room, not knowing the situation outside, Alicia was anxious. She wished she had gone out sooner, and she wouldn't be at ease until she saw her companion.
"If you're still not worried about me, then I'll be at the forefront~" Qinglong couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and after saying this, he didn't wait for the two of them to react, and disappeared into the shadow of the dark passage first.
"Alicia, I'll follow him, you walk in the back, if there's any situation, you call me. Daron held the greatsword in his hand, and it seemed that he was not going to put it away anymore.
"Well, that's it. Alicia nodded.
So, following the green dragon, Daron also stepped into the dark passage, leaving Alicia alone in the small dark room. A gust of wind rushed out of the dark passage, like the sigh of the dead, like the sneer of a ghost. After adjusting her breathing, Alicia followed her into the dark passage.
There were no torches in the tunnels, and the only light came from the small dark room they had entered. Alicia felt the walls and felt the crowdedness of the space. It was pitch black in the dark tunnel, and I couldn't see my fingers. Judging by the echo, the zenith is quite high, but the space to the left and right is very narrow. Here, the arms are not fully extended, so it seems that only one person can pass through this stretch of road. Alicia couldn't see the path under her feet, so she could only touch the wall on one side and move cautiously.
After walking for a while, she became more and more uneasy. At first, she could still hear the sound of Talon rubbing against his armor in front of her. But now she couldn't hear anything. In the middle of this journey, I don't know how far it was, everything seemed to suddenly go quiet. A roar gradually sounded in her ears, and when she realized that it was her own heartbeat, she finally cried out uneasily:
"Daron! Daron!"
However, the only echo that responds to her in the darkness is her own voice.
She looked behind her, the entrance she had entered was long gone, there was no light in the entire passage, and Alicia felt like she had fallen into a great abyss, and she trembled.
The sound of breathing became more and more intense, and her imagination almost drove herself into a corner. She thought of the white-faced ghosts in the Forest of Devil May Cry, and goosebumps ran all over her body. In the fantasy, those ghosts were standing quietly behind her at the moment, slowly reaching for her shoulders.
Alicia was almost about to cry, and she cried out loudly:
"Daron! Daron!"
However, there was still no response.
Alicia was almost desperate, she felt empty inside. Before entering the dark passage, the man had clearly promised himself that as long as there was anything, he would call him. But when she was so scared and needed him, he was gone.
Alicia felt like she was now surrounded by a horde of ghosts, including her father, mother, and brother. They all had two lines of bloody tears on their faces, staring at themselves with only black pupils.
"I'm sorry......! Sorry!woowoowoo......"
Alicia finally couldn't hold it anymore. She curled up on the ground, hugging herself in a ball with her fragile arms.
The ghosts were still looking at her, but Alicia didn't have the courage to meet their cursed gaze.
"Only I'm alive, they're all dead, and the people in this world who can be called relatives are gone......"
"They're coming to resent me now, because I'm still alive, I'm the only one left alive and well, so they must be blaming me. ”
The ghosts circled around Alicia, looking down on her with indifferent eyes. A drop of blood ran down her father's eye and onto Alicia's hair, and Alicia hugged her body tighter.
"I'm sorry, it's not good enough, it's all my fault, I'm sorry!"
"My brother squatted down, he looked at me, he reached out to me, his hand was frighteningly white, he must have wanted to pull me to that world, because there is no place for me here!"
Alicia felt the touch on her shoulder and exclaimed. She was hysterical trying to break free, it was the bondage from hell, it was her brother who wanted to pull her into that world, and now, the ghost had caught her!
She tried to pull her body out of the ghost's grasp with all her strength, but she felt that the other party's strength was much greater than hers, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape. And so it ended, in this dark and damp place, and he was about to disappear without even a last word.
"Alicia, calm down, it's me!"
The ghost spoke suddenly, but it wasn't the ghost's voice. Alicia fell silent for a moment, the familiar voice reassuring her.
“...... Darlon?" Alicia said, sobbing.
"That's right, it's me. Damn, the passage here is so dark, so I accidentally walked away, are you okay?" Darlon's face couldn't be seen, so Alicia could only imagine his expression right now, and then punched him in the chest.
"Where the hell have you been!" Princess Ben almost got captured by the ghost, do you know?" said Alicia, crying.
"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts? Don't worry, there's no such thing as a monster here. Daron said as he seemed to move his head in the darkness.
"Yes, they looked at me and shed tears of blood on my head!" called Alicia.
"No kidding, it's just me here, no ghosts. I guess it's just water dripping from the zenith. This tunnel is open underneath the underground waterway, so it is normal for the zenith to have a little water dripping down. Daron said with a smile.
"Oh......" Alicia was relieved to hear this explanation.
"I came here when I heard your cry, are you hurt?" said Daron as he picked up Alicia in the dark.
"Nope. Alicia pouted.
"Alright, let's move on. However, there is something strange about this secret passage......"
After standing up, Alicia didn't know that she was already face to face with Darlon, and as Daron spoke, her snort sprayed on her face, causing goosebumps to pop up again.
"I think you're a little weird!"
Unceremoniously an iron fist. But to his surprise, Daron dodged it, and he dodged Alicia's fist in the place where he couldn't see his fingers.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Daron with an innocent expression.
"Hmph! nothing!" Fortunately, everyone couldn't see it, so no one knew how Alicia blushed at this time, "Go on! What's strange?"
"Well...... This tunnel doesn't seem to lead to the ground, because it keeps going underground. ”
"Really?" said Alicia, surprised. In the dark, the sense of direction was very vague, and she didn't notice the road here at all, it was always a downward slope.
"It's a little weird. Alicia muttered. She remembered what Qinglong had just said, he had indeed said something about the place to place the leader's scepter. Aren't they actually approaching a secret cave belonging to the Thieves' Guild now?
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger anyway, it's all come to this point, whether it's a fairy or a monster, you have to figure it out, right?" Alicia had Daron by her side, and finally recovered, she suddenly felt a trance, when did she have such a strong sense of dependence on Daron? Just now, she was basically in a state of mental frenzy, but as soon as she heard Daron's voice, she was suddenly able to settle down.
Alicia shook her head as if she was about to shake something off. Dalong, who was on the side, felt her movements, and couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion.
Outside, the sun is halfway up, and the red on the horizon is slowly fading into a blazing white......
