50 Chapter 50
No matter how Archie persuaded him, Albert stood there without any reaction, Rann frowned, but now he didn't have so much time to wait here for someone to wake up, so he simply ignored Albert's existence and continued to walk in the direction he believed.
As he passed by Albert's side, the blonde man, who had been motionless, suddenly moved, he raised his hand, and the golden flames burned on his palm, and at the same time, Albert's face appeared with a trace of pain.
"Ran!" As the flames ignited, Archie had a bad feeling in his heart and anxiously tried to stop it.
It's late.
Albert's hand rested on Rann's shoulder.
Nothing happened.
Rann looked back in confusion, glanced at his hand wrapped in golden flames over his shoulder, and then at Albert.
What is this? Acrobatics?
Albert muttered confusedly, "Why are you ......?"
Why are you okay?
"Sorry, we're in a hurry now." Although he didn't know why, Rann still slapped Albert's hand away and said lightly, "I still have to go to that Sauron Hogg to settle accounts, no matter what your situation is now, you can come along, but don't get in my way." ”
With that, Rann led Edmund on.
Archie also rushed over, giving Albert a complicated look, especially his burned hand.
But in the end, Archie didn't say anything and followed Ran.
Albert stood there for a long time, looking down at his palm.
In just two or three seconds, there were already obvious burn marks on his hands, which hurt into the bone marrow, which proved that his origin ability [Inquisitor was indeed in effect.
Similar to Amos's guess, Albert's ability to originate is indeed linked to sin, and according to the social and moral standards of human beings, as long as the target has been contaminated with 'sin', and the more sin they are contaminated, the greater the damage will be caused.
The reverse side effect is also significant, and if Albert is tainted with sin himself, this ability will also harm himself.
But why......
It was the first time Albert had encountered an existence that was completely immune to his own abilities, and generally speaking, unless it was a newborn baby, or a pure good person, a saint, or the like, there were more or less sins in human beings.
Not to mention the Weird, Albert's ability is based on the standard of human morality, and it works on the Weird as well.
But now, why is it completely ineffective for Rann?
Albert was completely confused.
If even the ability is ineffective...... What else could he do?
Subconsciously, Albert followed behind them, not far away.
Rann was unaware of Albert's psychological activities, and he was now so focused on stopping the stranger's conspiracy that he didn't care about the rest.
He had obviously destroyed the hospital's magic circle, but the result was still the same as in his previous life......
No, it should be said, probably, from the very beginning, the butterfly has already inflamed its wings?
Rann had mixed feelings.
It wasn't long before Rann finally found himself in the clearing.
No, it should be said that the former site of Michigan.
It's just that because of the previous conspiracy of strangers, the old site of the University of Miscu has been turned from a campus into a bare open space, and the memories of the people in Arkham City have been completely covered, and no one remembers what the place was before.
All the teachers and students of Miskatonic University have disappeared forever from this world and from people's memories forever.
At the same time, this is also the fate of Arkham City in his previous life, if he continues like this, and continues to move forward towards the trajectory in his memory, everyone in this city will soon disappear.
It's a lot of pressure.
As Rann walked over to the clearing, he saw a few scattered players hiding and whispering.
After seeing Rann holding Edmund, several players were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became obviously excited.
Ran's heart moved, and he beckoned to the men.
The player happily stepped forward, and before they could speak, Rann asked, "Why are you here?" ”
The player with the ID name 'Humble Social Animal' said, "We found that this is the only place where there is nothing weird, and when we were curious, we came to see a white-haired man inside. ”
And unsurprisingly, it should be the leader of the strangers!
When the doctor was in trouble before, the photo of the leader of the strangers had already been circulated on the forum, and basically players knew that face, and the humble social animals were just curious to come here to go around, but they didn't expect to meet a big fish!
They are outside now, waiting for relatives and friends to come over to start a group, the coordinates have already been posted on the player forum, and now players from all over Arkham City are trying to get over.
Now I see Ran, what is this? This is a proper precursor to the opening of the final battle!
Rann thought for a moment, "It just so happens that I have a task for you here. ”
……
It's almost there.
The time is almost up.
Sauron sat on a large rock with his eyes closed, waiting for the final moment to come.
After the previous rest, he had recovered a little from the secret method he had used before, and his empty arms had grown back, but compared to normal arms, the newly grown arms were like dry branches, dark and skinny.
He endured waves of weakness and pain in the depths of his soul, this pain had no reason, as long as he stepped on this land, the pain would not stop, as he had heard in his hometown, the human world was indeed a place of divine punishment.
Soon, though, he will be able to go back.
Sauron opened his eyes, and for the first time a mad obsession appeared in his hollow, dark eyes.
"You're here."
He said to the fog ahead.
Ran's figure slowly emerged from the mist, his gaze leveled at Sauron, who was sitting not far away, and then he shifted his gaze to scan the surroundings.
It is said to be the old site of Michigan, but there is nothing left here, nothing but bare land.
"Do you miss it, this is where you first came." Sauron jumped from the stone, his bare feet on the ground, a few very fine wisps of black smoke coming out of the bottom of his feet.
"I don't remember."
"I'll just take it as if I listened," Sauron smiled, "I didn't expect you to come here anyway, because I underestimated you too much." ”
"Those believers of yours are really an eye-opener for me."
At this moment, Ran's originally indifferent expression almost couldn't hold back.
It's not that I don't, that group of people has nothing to do with me......
But in the end, he swallowed it back, and he looked at Sauron deeply, and was surprised to find that he was not in a very good state, not to mention the arm that was obviously wrong, and the wrinkles and sudden aging of his face.
Compared to the last time, Sauron seemed to be a dozen years older, gradually matching the feeling of twilight years he showed.
Noticing Ran's gaze, Sauron touched his arm, "Are you curious about this, this is the price to pay for getting you to Arkham Hospital." ”
"I thought it would fall short, but in the end, fate was still on my side."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I should even say thank you to you, I don't know what you did in the hospital, but I have obtained the coordinates I want." ”
With that, he looked up at the sky, Arkham's sky was already covered by fog, and Rann suddenly had a bad premonition: "Lunar eclipse...... Isn't it three days later? ”
"It's a shame that I let the people from the Weather Bureau delay it a little," said Solon, "it may be a little mean, but I'm too old to wait any longer, and this time, I'm going to open the door to my dreams." ”
The sky above the mist, the light of the moon slowly obscured by shadows.
A special celestial phenomenon brought a special magical power, and the magic circles all over the Arkham sewers began to glow faintly, and at the same time, black blood flowed from Sauron's feet, gradually converging on the ground with wonderful patterns.
"Do you think I'll still be done by you?" Rann asked.
Dense footsteps came from behind him, and Sauron looked at him, at the dense mass of figures emerging behind him.
That's a player with a face full of excitement.
"Up! It's time for the boss! ”
With a long roar from a certain Diao Min, the players rushed forward excitedly, for fear that they would not be able to touch the boss if they were too late.
"Of course...... I don't think so. ”
At the same time, the teleportation array under his feet was completed, and a burst of silver light flashed, and a plurality of adult men in black tights appeared here, holding various weapons in their hands.
Suddenly appeared in an open space, and the faces of the players were still like wolves, but this group of people did not have any commotion, and they faced the players with ease.
Their gaze is dull and deadly, and on the contrary, they move fiercely, like soldiers in the army who are accustomed to killing, silent and deadly.
The players didn't get it the first time, but it doesn't matter, the last thing players are afraid of is to fight for their lives.
The clearing instantly turned into a sea of fire, with the sound of gunfire and explosions incessantly.
In this chaotic battlefield, Sauron and Rann were far away from each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, and neither side made a move.
Suddenly, Sauron tilted his head.
He noticed that the clown, who had been holding Rann before, seemed to be gone.
"Hee-hee-hahahahaha~"
Sauron's ears moved slightly, and behind his left, the clown had touched this side with the help of the chaotic battlefield at some point, and he only had Sauron, the strongest individual on the scene except for Ran, in his eyes, the corners of his mouth grinned exaggeratedly to the root of his ears, and the flying knife in his hand went straight to Sauron.
Sauron didn't move, didn't heed his attack, and the door was wide open behind him.
However, the Joker's throwing knife did not hit the target, and a dark shadow appeared behind Sauron at some point, blocking the knife for him.
"Hee-hee?"
Rann looked at the huge figure that appeared behind Sauron and muttered, "C-class weird, cannibal? ”
Not only one, but Archie had also tried to get close to Sauron's side before, but was also blocked by another being.
C-class weird stone wall ape
Two C-class weirdness, as well as enough to delay Archie and Edmund, especially Archie, him
In a state of complete madness, the combat power can still compete with the weirdness of the C-level high-level, but once you exit that crazy state, the combat power begins to fall back again, and it is quite difficult to deal with a C-level weirdness.
I don't know how Sauron got this group of people, one or two of them will never retreat like the dead soldiers in ancient times, and even do not hesitate to play life-fighting tricks with players, and the battle situation is scorching for a while.
Player Channel
their target: grass, what's the situation with this group of people, I stuck the dagger in this person's leg, and I didn't react, I thought they also opened the pain shield.
Black: It's possible that it's a puppet made by a spell, or it's hypnotized, it's so hard to beat.
Courtship: That's your dice luck (snickering) Look at how many I have killed, Lao Tzu is the god of war favored by the dice goddess today!
Bomber: Hmph, you can't do it, listen to me! Let's be united, this way and that......
Courtship: Grass, enough damage, but this method can be used.
Kuroko: What about the proceeds? Killing an enemy now grants 10 contribution points.
Bomber: The system referee will automatically score equally according to the contribution.
Courtship: OK!
What is he waiting for? Sauron squinted at Rann not far away, wondering why he hadn't made a move yet.
He was waiting for the eclipse to be complete, and what was Rann waiting for?
Could it be...... He's also waiting for the door to open and return to the dream world?
Sauron's expression gradually became solemn, and at this time, he noticed that the situation on the scene seemed to be a little wrong, and the originally scattered and disorderly players suddenly cooperated, and the people who were about to penetrate into his side retreated, faintly surrounding the dead soldiers he had summoned.
They're ......
Before Sauron could come back to his senses, grenades were thrown in one by one
Encirclement, Sauron's eyes narrowed, and the invisible barrier instantly blocked the grenade from the outside.
"Grass."
The player couldn't help but curse, almost forgetting that the boss could spell.
As soon as the bomber was in a hurry, he simply held the grenade in his hand, and then rushed directly into the range of the dead soldiers.
Unexpectedly, people rushed in and didn't seem to be hindered by anything, bombing people for joy, and then rushing straight into the place with the most people.
Bang!
The human bomb exploded, and several dead soldiers were taken away in an instant.
"There's another way!" The rest of the players were in for a treat.
Of course, not all players dare to waste their cards, but some car cards are not considered combat systems, and players who have been injured in previous battles seem to have opened up new ideas.
You must know that this contribution point is directly linked to the account, and you can also receive it if you change your card!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were a few more explosions, and several players rushed into the group of dead soldiers with explosive bombs and hand grenade bombs, and even one player rolled his eyes and burst into the battlefield on Archie's side, hugging the C-class weird.
Bang!
The ogre was caught off guard and was seriously injured by the explosion and was harvested by Edmund.
Nearby channels
I hate broccoli: hahahahaha! A full 100 contribution points! Earn over!
Bomb Man: Grass
Courtship: Grass
Tolerance: I'm sour again
I hate that Broccoli posted on a nearby channel, and all the players saw this news and immediately looked at the only remaining C-class weirdness in the audience.
"Mine! It's mine! ”
"Fuck off, it's mine, don't rob it!"
"Rush! Brush the assist to grab the boss. ”
Crazy, weird, incomprehensible.
Looking at the performance of the players on the spot, Sauron couldn't help but take a breath, and the eyes that looked at Rann again had changed.
Even if he had been the leader of the Outlander Sect for so long, he hadn't seen many fanatics with such crazy beliefs, and these dead soldiers were still troops he had secretly cultivated through spells, but the side effect was that they were not flexible enough, just like now, the player obviously gathered them together and blasted them with explosive bombs, but this group of golems only knew how to kill instinctively.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a real god, and the spread of this fanatical belief is terrifyingly fast.
Sauron wasn't without other means, in fact, if he focused on these players with all his might now, he could have wiped them all out in less than five minutes, two of which were still used to pinch Edmund and Archie to death.
But most of his energy was now focused on maintaining the large ritual magic that had enveloped Arkham, and it was barely enough to summon two C-class monstrities and support the barrier of defense.
Of course, Sauron has another backhand, but what he is most afraid of now is Ran, who has not yet made a move, and he does not dare to act rashly before Rann makes a move.
However, what he didn't know was that Ran, who seemed to be at ease, was also thinking about how to kill the boss behind his back at the moment.
The current situation is obviously not enough output......
The current player level is not high, and it takes a few people to solve a D-class weirdness on the premise of having a weapon, not to mention the C-level, which is obviously a field that can only be reached by NPCs.
And Sauron ...... To be honest, Rann doesn't know how high his combat power is, but judging from the strange performance that he can summon and control C-class, it is obviously more powerful than the version.
Is it really possible for players to defeat this kind of boss at that time? What does the game official think, this kind of obvious bug, won't players protest?
Or is it that in fact, the plot has given hope to defeat the boss?
At this moment, Rann suddenly thought of something and glanced back behind him.
Albert's figure is gone.
It seems that there is no need for his reminder, and this undercover agent from the inspection bureau also knows exactly what to do.
The C-class weirdness exploded under the onslaught of the player, along with the last on the field
A mini-boss is pushed down, and the advantage is finally back on the player's side.
So the remaining players looked at the only remaining **oss Sauron Hogg, the effect of the human bomb attack just now greatly boosted morale, and even made the players want to move, wanting to see if they can also use this method to take down the boss.
You know, just one mini-boss can get more than 100 contribution points, and who knows how much you can get if you kill Sauron.
As both Archie and Edmund were ready to deal with Sauron, the Outlander's boss finally began to lose his breath.
A black shadow spread from beneath his feet, and all individuals who were contaminated with it had black spots on their faces, and the player who rushed to the front collapsed with a blank face.
[You have been cursed by the shadows, debuff effect: Constitution is permanently reduced by 5, HP and MP are reduced by 2 per second, and strength is reduced by 10 points......]
Player Channel
Courtship: Grass, what is this! It's too cheating, and you can add a debuff!
Originally, players were close to dead blood after this round, and this effect simply added fuel to the fire, and many players collapsed and died without holding out for a few seconds, only to be left with impotent rage in the death stagnation.
Bomb Man: It's too cheating, it's too cheating, how can this be fought (annoyed.)
Odd and even numbers: Isn't it official to play it, ah? I never thought that the current players would be able to pass this dungeon, right?
Dyed green on the head: No, look at the boss!
After unleashing this widespread curse, Sauron paid for the distraction, spitting out a mouthful of blood with internal organs in his mouth, something was still wriggling in the black blood, teeth fell to the ground one by one, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, his face became even more ugly, and the barrier that had been standing in front of him even disappeared, and it seemed that he could no longer continue.
Opportunity!
The people who were hidden in the fog were aware of this at the same time.
Albert finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he emerged from the fog and attacked Sauron.
Sauron, who was half-kneeling and coughing, turned his head keenly, and his eyes, which were almost blind, seemed to catch Albert's conspicuous blonde hair, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his palm towards him.
But he couldn't cast the spell.
Just a few seconds ago, Sauron's gaze briefly shifted from Rann, and a player with a lowly social animal ID disengaged and excitedly approached Rann.
"Fortunately, we are done!"
Rann finally had a smile in his eyes and nodded at him, "Good work." ”
Before walking into the old site of Mi and meeting with Sauron, Rann had given the player a task to set up a ritual circle.
This circle was set up by Amos in the apartment to capture Rann, and Rann wrote it down so that it could come in handy one day.
This ritual is complicated, but in fact, it is not that complicated, and ordinary people can arrange it, but the effect is not so good.
But another ritual that sacrifices human life can make up for this.
How to specify the seal object is actually very simple, as long as you place an item with the target aura in the middle of the circle, preferably something like blood, nails, and hair, you can specify the seal.
The player finds the missing hairs on the large rock where Sauron stayed before, and carves the circle in the mist-covered area.
Rann has been waiting for the news that they have completed their portrayal, because there are too many dead people here, and there are even two C-class weirdos inside, and the conditions for activating the magic circle have been met, and even forcibly broke through the conditions that originally needed to be at a specific time.
The seal has begun.
Sauron failed to cast the spell, and the magic that had been working smoothly in his body suddenly began to disobey, and Albert was aware of this, and he knew who was creating an opportunity for him.
The golden flames ignited all over his body again, making Albert almost a man on fire, the pain was tantamount to burning himself, but Albert resisted the ability to stop, he pounced on Sauron, hugged him and let the burning flames of sin burn on him as well.
"Ahh Sauron let out a cry of great pain, struggling to break free, but Albert held him tightly, the flames scorching his body and his soul screaming.
"It's you! Aiken...... Let go! ”
"Sure enough, you know what I'm capable of."
A brief wry smile appeared on Albert's face, and then he became hideous again, and his eyes were resolute: "Cancel, open the door ceremony!" ”
"Impossible!" :,,.
