Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Church and the Watchtower
It is a dilapidated abandoned chapel.
There were two red candles burning on the wooden platform in front of the church, the light of the candles was faint, but they could see every part of the church clearly.
In front of the wooden platform, it is clearly visible that only half of the statue of the Virgin Mary remains, and the remaining half of the smiling faces, which are still kind, seem to have been shaken by some kind of huge force, and the atmosphere is very strange against the background of the irregular glass lattice between red and green behind it. The red and green glass windows were dim, and it seemed that the copy was at night.
In the middle of the church beneath them, rows of red benches had fallen to the ground, several of which had been shattered into piles of wood. The overturned seats, and the ground covered with a thick layer of black dust, this church has not been visited for an unknown number of years.
"Abri can't get in. Xiao Hua looked around and didn't find Abri, so he couldn't help but say a little depressed. Then he glanced at the other two women and searched carefully in the abandoned church. The trial dungeon is a great test of the player's observation, and it is necessary to perceive the mechanism in the scene, and then use the corresponding skills, or find the corresponding items, in order to be able to clear the level.
But there is nothing noteworthy in the church except for the statue of the Virgin Mary, the overturned benches on the ground, and some frescoes on the walls. The three of them were very carefully observed, and if there were any of them, it was impossible not to find anything after taking turns to inspect them.
"Let's go out and have a look, it looks like this is just the equivalent of a camp. Xiao Hua suggested. For normal dungeons, as long as they haven't left the camp, the dungeon will not be officially triggered.
Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou nodded, and then the three of them walked towards the closed church door.
As they pushed open the heavy red door, all three received a system prompt.
System prompt: The dungeon "Abandoned Monastery" is officially opened! Now enter the countdown to clear the level, the time limit is 8 hours! Please clear the dungeon within the specified time, otherwise the mission will fail!
Then, a small funnel appeared in front of the three of them, and the funnel was engraved with eight scale marks, and as soon as the funnel was flipped, thin sand began to slowly flow down from above.
Sure enough, the three of them walked out of the church without any doubt.
As soon as I stepped out of the church, a desolate and gloomy atmosphere came to my face!
Under the pale moonlight, in front of the church is a row of iron fences nearly two meters high, the iron fence fences are covered with all kinds of green vines, several pitch-black crows docked on the fence, the crows suddenly saw a stranger appear, let out a few hoarse screams, fluttered their wings and flew away.
Being in such a weird and terrifying place, Piao Ling was afraid of some ghosts, so he immediately used the True Eye, which not only broke the stealth, but also had the effect of breaking the illusion.
A faint but clearly visible light blue circle of light rippled out from the feet of the drifting like water waves, the True Eye is a state aura, usually it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive the existence of the True Eye Ring without looking closely, but at this time, in this somewhat silent and terrifying dark night environment, the aura effect of the True Eye is unusually clear and visible.
Seeing that there was no change in the surroundings, Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even if there were any ghosts and monsters in this copy, these two people would not feel the slightest strange. Because of this, the two women soon couldn't help but get closer to each other and strengthen each other's courage. If they talk about ghosts in reality, Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou will be very disdainful, because they know that there will never be ghosts in reality, so they are naturally not afraid. But in this incomparably realistic and terrifying environment, it is no longer a question of believing it or not, but the most direct reaction of their bodies.
The iron fence firmly enclosed the church, and there was an iron gate more than ten meters away from the door, and the door was locked, it seemed that Xiao Hua had to use his lock-picking skills to unlock it before he could get out.
Turning around and looking back, Xiao Hua found that the church was really small and dilapidated, the silver cross hanging on the church was crooked to one side, and there were many cracks on the walls. Looking over the top of the church, Xiao Hua then saw a watchtower more than ten meters high standing on the side of the church.
"Don't stand still, go over there and have a look!" Xiao Hua saw that the two women still looked reluctant to move, so he simply pulled one in one hand and walked towards the watchtower.
Holding a woman's small hand with both hands, feeling the two soft feelings in his hands, Xiao Hua was very happy. No wonder so many men in reality like to take women to watch horror movies, and the relationship just wants this effect. In normal times, let alone holding the hands of these two women at the same time, even if it is pulling one of them, Zhou Xiaorou may be better, will give some face, at most shake off his hand, and then glare at him, Piao Ling is afraid that he will directly knock people with a staff.
Unfortunately, the watchtower was only more than ten meters away from the three of them, and after turning from the right side of the church and walking a few steps, the three of them walked to the watchtower.
"Unlocked, the door is locked. Piao Ling was dragged away by Xiao Hua for a while, and seeing that nothing was happening around him, he gradually lost his fear, so he shook off Xiao Hua's palm and pointed to the locked wooden door under the watchtower. When Zhou Xiaorou saw it, she also quietly slipped her little hand out of Xiao Hua's palm.
At this time, Xiao Hua was not ambiguous, and walked forward in two or three steps to use the lock-picking skill against the lock. You don't have to use a key to try to unlock a lock in the game, just use the unlocking skill directly against the lock. If it is a lock that can be opened, it will either be successful when unlocking, or it will prompt that the unlocking fails, otherwise the system will prompt that the lock can be opened with a special key, in which case you need to find the key, but the lock that requires the key will generally only appear in a specific game plot, and most of the locks, as long as the thief unlocks the level is enough, it can still be opened.
Xiao Hua was very lucky, as soon as he went up and used his skills, the lock was immediately opened.
"Come in, there should be the necessary things to trigger the plot. Xiao Hua turned back and shouted to the two women. It would be really strange if there was nothing to be found in such a place where he was obviously required to use his lockpicking skills.
Inside the wooden door, there was a small black staircase that meandered upward, and the courage of Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou was a little smaller.
"Or you wait here, and I'll go up and look for it, and come down. "Uh, it seems that these two people are really afraid of ghosts, do you want to find some eerie copy pictures in the future?
When Xiao Hua had a bad idea, Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou listened to Xiao Hua's words, and immediately said resolutely at the same time: "No, I want to go too!"
Two stubborn women! Xiao Hua didn't bother to care, and walked straight up the small staircase. The stairs were very narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, Xiao Hua walked in front, and the two women followed closely behind him, one in front and one behind.
The three of them soon reached the top of the watchtower, which was a small room like a study. The two one-person wide lookout windows in the front and back of the room, and the pale moonlight slanted into the floor of the room from the window directly above the doorway below, which kept the room from being pitch black. Then in the faint moonlight, I could see a wooden table in the room, on which were scattered several books with sheepskin covers, and a thick layer of dust on them, much worse than in the church.
Seeing that there was still half a burned candle left on the table, Xiao Hua picked up the matchbox next to the candle, took a match out, and lit the candle, and the vision of the three of them suddenly became clear.
"There's not much time to look for. Xiao Hua commanded.
In addition to the desk, there is also a bookshelf behind the desk, on which there are two or three rows of books, and then there is a black wooden box two or three steps away from the bookshelf.
If there were any clues in the room, it wouldn't be a problem to find such a small thing. Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou were in this almost closed room, and they immediately became a lot bolder, and the three of them searched for it separately.
Xiao Hua patted the dust off the table, revealing the true face of several books.
""The Legend of the Golden Country", "The Old Desert", and "The Other Side of the Floating Clouds" can't be taken away, it's not a mission item. Xiao Hua picked up the items on the table one by one, and found that they were all scene props, if it was an item that could be taken away, the moment he picked it up, the system would prompt him to get such and such an item.
However, the work paid off, and when he picked up a thin little book, Xiao Hua found that he had finally found a task item.
System Hint: You have obtained "Tanner's Story"!
