Chapter 234: One Step Late

Whew-

Valera sat on the ice for nearly ten more minutes, until her physical condition was basically back to normal, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

No matter how dangerous it was, she was promoted after all.

Although her current form is not very good, it only takes a period of recuperation to recover, which is completely different from the previous state when she was on the verge of losing control.

Valera climbed up from the ice with her hands and feet, her palms propped up on the edge of the altar, and she barely recovered her position.

The first thing she had to do, of course, was to put on the "prisoner" ring again and retract her "sincere" hair—even if it would add a considerable amount of mental weight to her current mental burden.

There's no way around it.

Valilla didn't have a good way to seal the negative effects of her True Heart's hair, and she didn't want it to harm anyone else, and she didn't want to leave it in the custody of someone else, such as Sharon, so all she could do was support herself.

The "Prisoner" ring was put on her hand, and Valeera felt fine.

After all, she has now been promoted to Sequence 5, and only the Sequence 9 level, incomplete Desire Curse, will not affect her too much.

Valiera took a deep breath and prepared herself to melt away the ice, and sure enough, she saw dead rats and "true" hair that had burrowed into the ice.

She turned, ready to walk over and put it away.

Just then, she slipped and fell to the ground.

Is this a manifestation of the exhaustion of "luck"?

This thought came to Valeera's mind first...... After all, no matter how bad her state is, it is also an extraordinary person in sequence 5, or a promotion in a dexterous sequence like "assassin", so there is no reason to slip on the ice.

She didn't even dig into whether this guess was correct, so she simply sat on the ground and instead released the "invisible thread" to reach out to the "true heart" hair that was still moving slowly.

The invisible thread was retracted, bringing the living seal of hair in the ice back to Valeera's hand.

The lust in her heart skyrocketed as a result.

Soon, Valeera's face, which was still a little pale and dull due to her poor condition, appeared a deeper and deeper red, and even her entire neck was flushed with crimson.

Valeera breathed heavily.

After a few seconds, her breathing began to flatten; After more than ten seconds, her face basically returned to normal, only a little blush remained-

Although it was a little difficult, she still restrained the surging lust.

But in this way, she no longer dared to take back the "bottom line" pocket watch.

She was a little worried that it would be the last straw that broke her will.

But it doesn't matter because she's not alone.

Valilla looked at the ice wall near Crane's side, and through her ability to "manipulate the frost", she dissolved a small gap that ran through the inside and outside as a reminder, and let out a somewhat weak call:

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

, but regrettably found that because of the end of the ceremony, he could no longer see the corresponding picture.

Alas...... He sighed and hurried back to reality.

In this way, in an anxious and hesitant mood, he wandered back and waited for a few more minutes.

It's been a quarter of an hour, isn't she okay? The bad feeling in Crane's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and he has already tried to enter the igloo several times to inspect it.

"Detective, help me."

A gap suddenly opened in the ice wall, and from within came Valeera's faint plea for help.

Crane was overjoyed.

He walked briskly towards the narrow and winding entrance to the igloo, but still maintained a considerable degree of caution.

Turning back and forth in two directions, and past the last corner, Crane finally saw Valeera sitting on the ground, her face pale and dull, and her beauty greatly reduced.

She's not out of control!

"Valeera, are you alright?"

Crane trotted a few steps and reached out to help Valeera up, feeling her tremble slightly...... Alas, her promotion this time was still too reluctant.

"I'm fine, you help me put that pocket watch away," Valera shook her head slightly, "Its negative effect is to oppress the bearer's spirit, it's not serious, but I don't dare pick it up right now."

Crane nodded, and reached out to take the "Bottom Line" pocket watch in his hand, and was surprised to find that it was even less oppressive to the spirit than he expected.

Then, with a toe of his toes, he picked up the small bundle of explosives on the ground, caught it, and said:

"Melt the ice, it's time for us to go."

Valera nodded and then shook her head, and said weakly:

"Let's use explosives, I don't dare to use too much power right now.

"A quarter is enough."

Because he had seen Valeera's precise blasting, Crane didn't say much, he directly pulled out two of the explosives in his hand, threw them in the middle of the igloo, and didn't leave any fire, and helped Valeera out.

The two of them returned the same way they came, and soon returned to the entrance where they had entered the sewers not long ago.

"Can you still climb the ladder?" Crane asked.

Valera tried, almost falling.

She had no choice but to turn around and shake her head with a smile, "I don't have the strength, you can carry me up."

"Okay."

Crane didn't shirk either, and with Valeera's cooperation, he quickly picked her up on his back, and stepped on the beam of the vertical ladder, rising step by step.

When he was about to reach the exit, he reached out and snapped his fingers, and through the ability of "Magician" and "Flame Control", he ignited the explosives left in the igloo.

At this time, Valera also reluctantly supported, and once again hid the figures of the two.

There was a muffled "buzz", and the air in the sewers surged violently, and even the manhole cover shook slightly, but none of this could affect Valera and Crane, who were already far away.

Sewers, at the previous corner.

As a result of the explosion, the ice had completely disappeared, leaving only fist-sized debris floating on the surface of the sewage and flowing into the distance.

The nearby sewer walls were scratched by the explosion and broken ice, leaving some shallow scratches and smoke marks, which were not at all noticeable.

Suffice it to say, almost no one will pay attention.

But...... There are exceptions to everything.

After Valera and Crane had left, about a quarter of an hour later, a lady in a holy white robe with a bright face appeared, frowning deeply as she looked at the last trace on the wall.
