"Here we are."

Tiamat's slightly sleepy voice rang out in the party channel, and soon, it was coming out of the deeper part of the park.

Dragon's breath flashed through his body, burning and evaporating a little snow and dirt.

It was not like Xia Yanzhen, who slept on a park bench anyway, but was thrown into the bushes of the park.

If it weren't for the snow, it would be even dirtier there.

Tiamat's tall frame shrunk slightly, apparently not very fond of the weather.

"Remember to take the sage's bracers." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Yes, master." Tiamat retrieved the Sage's Bracer from the party space.

The things that were originally placed inside were handed over to the state by Tao E.

It seems to be a bit interesting.

With the Sage Bracer, Xia Yanzhen can also pay more attention to some things in the mission world that are not equipped with props.

Usually, it is handed over to Tiamat for use, and then returned to the brigade warehouse and then taken out by Xia Yanzhen or Tao E.

The use of the sage's bracer does not require mastery of any divine law at all.

"Santa Claus ......" Xia Yanzhen put on a hood to stop the snow from falling on his head.

To find Santa Claus, you should theoretically be able to wait for the rabbit by staying in a chimney or something.

However, this is only theory.

It's like in the last mission, the mermaid princess and the mermaid princess really have nothing to do with each other.

If anything, both are female (female?) Sex?

Between the Santa Claus he wants to kill and the regular Santa Claus, I'm afraid only that shell is the same.

"You go to heaven and patrol it." Xia Yanzhen said.

Tiamas nodded, leaped to his feet, and transformed into a dragon in midair, engulfed in blizzard and darkness.

"Speaking of which, if there is no chimney in the house, how is Santa Claus going to come in?"

Xia Yanzhen walked across the street, looked at the house on the side of the road, jumped up, and came to the chimney on the roof.

The thick snow on the roof makes the chimneys look much shorter.

Xia Yanzhen's "worried" problem should not be realized in the vicinity.

This is not a metropolis, but a small town.

Most of the places are such single-family houses, there are no high-rise buildings.

Three-story buildings are dominant, and four-story buildings are rare.

"Something isn't right." After a minute or two, Tiamat's voice came over the team's channel, "This is a place called Centetown. ”

It found signs erected on the side of the road connecting the town and outside.

It usually reads "xxx (place name) welcomes you".

The sign here reads "Cente Town".

There is also the phone number of the mayor's office underneath.

Tiamat glanced at it and continued to fly out.

Immediately afterward, it discovered that the blizzard had turned into a blizzard in a very short period of time, and the terrifying blizzard and low temperatures had turned into a disaster that even it could not bear.

Or even lost.

After a while, Tiamat found himself back on the edge of the town, with the dark green sign beneath him, standing tall in the wind and snow, with a little snow piled up on it.

It's a town you can't get out of.

At least for it, Xia Yanzhen's words are estimated to be able to go out casually.

However, Xia Yanzhen obviously didn't need to go out.

Tiamat told Xia Yanzhen all the discoveries, and by the way, told him that the time was 8:05 p.m.

It saw a clock tower in the town that looked rather old.

If the clock above is accurate, it says the time is also accurate.

"Eight o'clock, so to say that you kill Santa before six o'clock." Xia Yanzhen estimated that the time he came to this mission world was eight o'clock.

Ten hours, exactly six o'clock.

Snowy nights are winter, and generally the nights are longer, and six o'clock may not be dawn.

This quest will be completed in the dark.

"You continue to scout in the sky." Xia Yanzhen said to Tiamat.

Ten hours, he plans to use an hour first, try to understand the structure of this town, the basic situation.

It may be able to play a role in the chase battle.

Tiamat is in heaven and he is on earth, both at the same time.

The night is Christmas Eve, and it's also the night of a blizzard.

The combination of the two leaves the streets empty and no one wanders outside.

Many cars were even covered in snow and turned into snowdrifts.

The snow on the road was better, and in some places, Xia Yanzhen stepped on it, and the snow had reached the knee-length position.

If this kind of heavy snowfall continues, by tomorrow morning, there should be heavy snow blocking the door.

But the town doesn't look like a ghost land with no people, a ghost town.

The street lamps are still working, some of them are damaged, but most of them are still holding their posts, emitting a not-so-bright light, plus the festive neon signs that are either flickering or not flickering in every household.

The blizzard night in the town was not so dark.

And, the people of the town just don't come out, they stay in their own houses.

Warm and bright light emanated through the window.

The blizzard was not big enough to destroy the power for the time being, and the house became a warm fortress against natural disasters.

Family and friends can feel safe in a warm hut in such an environment.

Xia Yanzhen also saw smoke coming out of a lot of chimneys.

Someone warmed up by a fire in the fireplace.

"It's a nuisance." Xia Yanzhen took off the real mirror he was wearing, wiped it clean and put it back on.

To avoid Santa Claus being something he can't see.

Xia Yanzhen specially put on the Mirror of Truth, but unfortunately, in such weather, even if he put on a hood, he couldn't prevent the Mirror of Truth from becoming white after a while.

This can break through delusion and give a glimpse of real glasses, which are ordinary glasses in other ways.

If you wear it and eat hot food, you will also be exposed to the world in front of the hot gas lake.

"Next time I should give it a little bit of that kind of fogging prevention thing." Xia Yanzhen decided to make some preparations before the next mission.

This level of "transformation" will not affect the carrying of equipment items.

At the beginning, Xia Yanzhen also added a rope to the face of the fire.

Put down the mirror of truth for the time being, and continue to wander around this town, the shadow stretches out under the light, Xia Yanzhen looks like a ghost in the town.

The town of Cente is a bit bigger than expected, and it is a town backed by mountains.

However, the mountains behind were not part of the mission, and Tiamat returned to the town after a little trying.

Of course, this is a more optimistic idea.

The pessimistic point is that Santa Claus may not appear in this town, and breaking through the town to the outside world is the first dilemma that the Dream Apostle has to solve.

Xia Yan really planned to go outside and take a look if he hadn't gained anything in the past five hours.

Little by little, the clock came to 8:45.

The initial exploration of the town by one man and one dragon is nearing completion.

So far, they haven't noticed anything unusual about the town.

If you want to go deeper, you need to go inside the house and talk to the townspeople.

You might be able to get a message from them that "there is a Santa Claus Lovers Association in the town".

"Here, I see it!"

Suddenly, Tiamat shouted on the team channel.

In the wind and snow, it saw the figure of Mohu who looked like a big fat snake writhing.

With his eyesight, after concentrating, he saw the true appearance of the big fat snake, and it was nine reindeer pulling a sleigh flying in the wind and snow.

There was a man sitting on the sleigh at the back.

Red-and-white clothes, white beard, and pot-bellied appearance.

It is very consistent with the image of the regular Santa Claus.

The specific appearance, because its white beard was too thick, coupled with the influence of the wind and snow and location, Tiamat did not see clearly.

"Follow." Xia Yanzhen said, "Don't do it yet. ”

"Okay." Tiamat gathered his wings and became a ball.

The size was suddenly reduced to the size of a pick-up truck.

And the sense of presence has also become very thin, like an inconspicuous small stone on the side of the road.

This is dragon hunting, but also survival skills.

Dragons are powerful creatures, but they also have long periods of vulnerability that require these associated stealth abilities.

Tiamat was still suspended in mid-air, quickly and silently following Santa Claus, providing a place for Xia Yanzhen.

Xia Yanzhen looked in the direction that Tiamat had said.

He didn't see anything.

"It seems to be a spirit or something." Putting on the mirror of reality, and sure enough, he saw Santa Claus flying over and landing on a rooftop.

However, it is a little different from the real Santa Claus that Tiamat saw.

The reindeer and sleigh that Xia Yanzhen saw were translucent and illusory, and wisps of smoke emanated from them.

】

Santa Claus, on the other hand, is also unrealistically translucent, and the shape is the same as the classic shape.

But the face in the white beard was pitch black, and no face could be seen.

Because I'm wearing gloves, I don't know if my hands look like this.

After a second look in the dark corner, the glasses began to murmur again.

Xia Yanzhen narrowed his eyes and saw Santa Claus get out of the carriage, holding the only solid cloth bag, turning into a wisp of green smoke and entering the chimney.

"That cloth bag ......" Xia Yanzhen frowned slightly and took out the observation magic mirror.

The appearance of the cloth bag is not red.

Rather, it was a tan burlap bag, which looked dirty and even had dark stains.

There are quite a few inexplicable bulges that look very strange.

Observe the magic mirror to reflect the scene inside the house.

The owners of the house were a rather young-looking couple with a child of five or six years old, who had slept in a single room.

There is a small lamp next to the bed that emits a soft light.

When Xia Yanzhen saw it, Santa Claus had already crossed the living room and stairs to the children's room on the second floor.

Observing the scene in the magic mirror, Santa Claus is solid, including the cloth bag in his hand.

There is no way for the Mirror of Truth to exert its delusion-shattering effect by observing the Magic Mirror.

His face was also clearly seen by Xia Yanzhen at this time, and he was not as kind as he imagined, but looked a little gloomy.

It belongs to the appearance of appearing by the window in the middle of the night and making children cry.

Covered up with a thick white beard.

Santa Claus comes to the bedside with a small sock.

There is a note on the sock that says the gift the child wants.

Actually, there were socks next to the fireplace where the chimney fell, but Santa Claus ignored them.

Straight to here.

He pulled out a gift box from the cloth bag and stuffed it into a small sock.

Everything seemed harmonious.

But in the next second, Santa Claus leaned close to the child on the bed, opened his mouth and sucked hard.

The child's calm expression immediately changed, and it became painful and frightened.

It's as if something bad happened in your sleep.

To get a gift, there is a price to pay.
