Before Grandin could squat down, Leonard, who was half-lying on the ground against the wall, opened his eyes, his green eyes were misty for a while, and he quickly regained focus, and then he stepped forward and bounced off the ground.

The explosion only made his hair scorched and curly, and Grandin didn't even see any visible wounds on him.

"Ahem, the night is my best friend."

Leonard coughed and explained thoughtfully.

When night falls, the Extraordinary of the 'Sleepless' path will receive an all-round boost, with strength, agility, and physique increasing as the night progresses.

Grantin, who had a lot of 'sleepless' friends around him, quickly figured this out, and after making sure his teammates were better than him, he turned his attention back to the bedroom.

"Bang!"

The doorframe of the balcony collapsed, and Captain Dunn strode in, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and a gun in the other, and swayed through the flames that licked against the hems of his boots and clothes.

When he saw the two night watchmen standing on the side of the house, his tense face was slightly soothed, and he said calmly:

"How's it going?"

"I interrupted the other party's ceremony, which should have caused some damage to her." Grandin made a preliminary judgment. Under the repeated battles, even if the 'monster' has a very high spirituality, he feels a little unbearable, and the consumption of the enemy will only be greater.

The witch even hit two 'spirit storms', and her state must have slipped further. If the other party dares to activate their abilities when their spirituality is dry, they are afraid that if they don't wait for the night watcher to do it, they themselves will lose control and become monsters.

In addition, the explosion shattered the glass in the apartment, and the mirror double technique of the enemy could not be used, so now is the best time to raid!

What puzzled him a little was that after the explosion, there was no movement in the bedroom.

"I think it's okay to raid." Grandin wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and in the heat he even had the illusion that the soles of his cowhide boots had been roasted.

As Grandin spoke, Captain Dunn had closed his eyes, but within a moment, he opened them again:

"The other party fled."

When he unleashed the 'Nightmare' ability on the wall, he didn't find any targets, either the other party was dead or had already fled.

With a gun, he led the way into the bedroom.

The bedroom was a mess, the extravagant four-poster bed had collapsed, several full-length mirrors were shattered everywhere, and there was a simple altar on the dresser, and the enemy was gone.

The air was unbearably hot, and Leonard, who followed into the bedroom, first looked at the convex belly window of the bedroom, and then raised his gun to the vent diagonally above the room, and said in a muffled voice:

"They escaped through this pipe, are we going to catch up?"

The metal lattices of the vents had been removed, and the narrow pipes barely allowed a person to crawl inside.

"No, we are not prepared this time, this is their territory, there may be traps in the passage." Dunn looked at the black hole vent and inserted the gun back into the pouch under his arm, "We want to make sure the residents are safe first, Grandin, you go downstairs and explain the situation to Klein, and then you stay there and evacuate the residents." Leonard and I were responsible for making sure that all the people in the apartment were evacuated. ”

The Sleepless has dark vision, and is clearly better suited to moving in dark hallways.

"Okay." Grandin put away his gun, walked over to the shattered window, and jumped down.

The second floor is not very high, and the soft lawn has removed a lot of falling force.

Strange, since the bedroom windows and vents can be evacuated, why do they still show such a high desire to fight?

Grandin was thoughtful, but in the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that the people of the Witch Sect were not in their right minds.

Through the battle just now, he has already judged that Triss's accomplice, another extraordinary person is probably the 'Witch of Pleasure' in Sequence 6.

Because the abilities she uses in combat are all enhanced versions of the Witch, the only difference is that she can use invisible silk threads, which are the hallmarks of the Witch of Pleasure. Further up, starting with Sequence 5's Witch of Pain, they started playing with viruses, and today this virus attack is not present.

All he knew was that there was indeed a witch in Tingen who was a member of the witch sect among the major politicians and wealthy businessmen. Although he had forgotten the name of the witch, there were not many people who met these conditions at the same time, and he could still find it.

As he thought all the way back to the main entrance of the apartment, he saw a panting Klein rushing towards him.

"How's it going?" Klein crossed his waist with one hand and took a big breath, not forgetting to grab the pistol in the other hand.

"They escaped, and there was not only Triss in the room, but also another 'Witch of Pleasure' from Sequence 6 of the 'Assassin' route." When Grandin replied, he could already hear the whistle of a fire truck, "The Tingen City Fire Department is moving so fast?" ”

Sequence 6 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called 'The Witch of Pleasure'......

Klein silently chewed on this piece of information before explaining:

"Maybe it's because I used the 'Destiny Charm'? Of course, I deliberately stayed away from here when I was using the charm, and ran around the corner to activate it. ”

Klein pointed to the corner of the street, which was about a hundred meters away from the apartment.

A hundred meters can be out of the sensing range of the Primordial Witch Relic......

Grandin took note of this information, and since Crane was still standing in front of him with all his beards and tails, he could not be wrong to conclude this conclusion.

There weren't many residents in the apartment, and because of the residual dream power, the residents showed rare calmness and sanity, which made the whole evacuation process very smooth.

Three minutes later, large vehicles from the fire department had arrived at the scene, and firefighters began erecting ladders and water cannons.

In a short time, the high-pressure water was already rushing to the fire on the second floor.

By talking to the firefighters, Grandin learned why they were so quick to get out of the way, and they were doing a drill around the area.

The fire was finally extinguished more than half an hour later.

Captain Dunn stood on the lawn under the apartment building and confessed to the Inspector of the National Police Agency, who had arrived urgently.

Maybe tomorrow's newspaper headlines will be a gas pipe explosion, or a criminal resisting arrest and a heated exchange of fire with the police.

The aftermath was taken over by the National Police Agency, and while Captain Dunn was talking to the inspector, the night watchmen had returned to the second floor to investigate.

The room where the witch lived on the second floor burned down completely, and the whole room was left with a rough frame, and the floor was full of charred black remains, and the concrete floor and wall tiles were exposed.

Grandin wandered around the living room without hope, and sure enough, he didn't find any valuable clues. The wreckage occasionally had crimson wires, which were probably the last proof of the lavish room.

Klein also didn't get any information after divination, and there were no secret rooms or secret compartments or anything like that.

"Hey! Come and have a look! ”

Leonard's voice was heard from the bedroom, his voice full of surprise.

Grandin and Klein looked at each other, and the two walked briskly to the bedroom.

As soon as Grandin entered the bedroom, he saw that it had also been destroyed by fire, and that only a metal skeleton of the once ornate four-poster bed remained, and Leonard's eyes were fixed on the wall on the other side.

He followed Leonard's gaze, and the next moment, he only felt that his body had fallen into an ice cave, and it was cold from the inside out.

He didn't even hear Klein cry out in surprise:

"This is Han...... It's Russelvin! ”

Klein's tone was inexplicable, his voice trembled, and in his heart, thoughts were boiling:

Could it be that there is another time-traveler in this world besides Russell? The apartment was not built very long, is the person who left the handwriting still alive?

I saw that the fire had burned the wallpaper and burned through the paint, and now on the gray-black wall, there were messy slashing marks, and a few square words that Grandin was very familiar with:

'There is still hope'!

These few words, which have no beginning and no end, made his whole body tremble, and he was inexplicably shocked!

Because in the dead of night or when his mind is disturbed, he always likes to write a diary in the words of his past life, how similar is the scribbled and freewheeling handwriting on the wall?

Or the words on the wall, that's exactly what he wrote!

Grandin stepped on the black-and-ash ground, his expression stiff and sluggish, and the sounds of conversation around him seemed far away from him.

He heard Leonard's light-hearted chuckle:

"Could it be that the witches still worship Russell, so they deliberately left the symbol of the Great Emperor on the wall? Ha, I know that some people think that the special symbols or words created by Russell have mysterious powers, but I didn't expect anyone among witches to believe this. Hey, haha. ”

Then came Klein's retort:

"Look at how old and new, these words should have been buried in the walls for decades, I don't think these were left by witches, we should go to the builder of the apartment. I think the time when the text was written was very similar to the time when the apartment was built, yes, that's what my gut tells me. ”

"Well, Klein, I'm just kidding, I can certainly see that. If it was really written by a witch, it should be an old woman who is fighting us today, not a lady with a hot body...... Ahem, I think this is the graffiti of the construction workers at that time, you must know that there are many folk 'scholars' who study Russell. ”

"I know...... Therefore, we can go to the construction company and renovation company that undertook the project at the beginning...... See if they have any clues, we can find the person who wrote. ”

"No, Klein, it has nothing to do with the witches we investigated, we don't have to waste time on these symbols, it's just fun, it's an artistic graffiti...... Are you too enthusiastic about this? ”

"I ...... It's just a little curious, these words don't look like scribbles, they have certain rules. ”

After discussing for a while, the two finally realized that there was another companion who had not spoken for a long time, so they turned their heads to Grandin:

"What do you think, Grandin?"

Grandin slowly came back to his senses when he heard his name, "What? ”

"I mean, do you think these symbols, well, these words make sense?" Leonard asked, his finger dangling in mid-air tracing the words.

"I don't know." Grandin replied with a straight face, his voice undulating.

His mind is now full of words like 'time travel' and 'time travel'.

"Well, there's no clue here, maybe we can look into that vent......"

Leonard didn't take this discovery seriously, while the remaining two had their own thoughts, and for a while none of them spoke again.

The ensuing investigation yielded nothing, and the witch did not leave a flaw in the rental information, and the contract was only written under a pseudonym.

Grandin had a general direction to follow, but he didn't know what to say about it to the other night watchmen.

Finally, I can only remind others to pay attention to those women with stunning looks recently, because beauty is the unifying sign of witches. In addition, to be able to buy such a luxurious room, this witch must be very rich.

Beauty, wealth, with these keywords, the investigation of the night watchman must be able to produce results quickly.

Two days passed, and there were no more emergencies.

……

"Wednesday, August 15."

"I decided to write this diary two days later because of the shock of some unexpected circumstances, so today is Friday, it doesn't matter, write about what happened on Wednesday first."

"On this day in Tingen, I had a battle with two witches. Heh, because most of the abilities can't be used, the battle is tough, and I didn't take advantage of anything, but I didn't suffer either. ”

"The next thing is the point, after the battle, when I was cleaning up the battlefield, I saw some familiar square words in a world full of alphabets. Chinese, dragon flying phoenix dance, a little ugly, I can still recognize my handwriting, and these handwriting has been around for decades. ”

At this point, Grandin, who was at his desk, stopped writing, and even though two days had passed, he still felt ridiculous. If he wrote it, does it mean that he must have experienced a time travel in the future?

He was tormented by this thought for two days, but at last he could not hold back, and ran to the church of St. Selena this evening to pray sincerely, hoping that the goddess would give him a revelation.

His question went unanswered, but it wasn't for nothing. With this in mind, Grandin continued to write:

"The goddess didn't answer my question, but perhaps to keep me from having time to think about it, He arranged for me to do something, for example, to collect ingredients for potion recipes."

"Sequence Five, 'Winner':"

"The main material, the heart of gold of the devourer, and the crystallization of the illusory balance of victory and defeat. Auxiliary materials, 70 ml of pure water, 4 drops of concentrated juice of golden mandala flowers, one undefeated cornflower, and only one lead-filled dice with '6' points can be thrown. ”

"Rite of Promotion: Drink potions in the face of enough calamity and failure."

After writing this paragraph, Grandin studied his handwriting for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was the same person who wrote the words 'There is still hope' on the wall.

"Alas, the goddess didn't tell me the answer, but told me to look for potion materials...... Is it a subtle reminder that I'm too weak to know this? ”

Grandin looked at the shaft of his pen and sighed.
