He is...... Who?

After making eye contact with those brown eyes, Aldous's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked away.

Strangely, he clearly felt that this red-haired young man was extremely familiar, and it seemed that he was a student of their Migantry University, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember his specific identity in his memory.

It's just that there is a strange sense of oppression in those eyes, which makes Aldous dare not continue to look at each other.

Aldous's face changed, and he was about to turn his head to remind Alexis, when there was a feeling of weakness in his body and soul, which was a side effect after casting the spell.

His eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, and at the last glance, Aldous suddenly saw the red-haired boy walking towards him, and for some reason, the brown eyes seemed to faintly turn into a turquoise color in a trance.

At the same time, a terrible conjecture suddenly came to mind.

Isn't that......

It's a pity that Aldous couldn't continue to think about it, and his consciousness sank into the bottomless abyss first.

……

"Aldous, hey Aldous!"

Voices kept ringing in his ears, and Aldous opened his eyes, reflecting Alexis's old face.

"Stop screaming, you're still alive."

"You're scared the hell out of me." Alexis breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter with you?" I suddenly couldn't wake up just now, I thought I was going to prepare for the aftermath for you! ”

Aldous didn't speak for a moment and asked, "How long did I faint just now?" ”

"It didn't take long, less than half an hour." Alexis said, "Soon after you fainted, many volunteers and students whose magic was drained fell into a coma, but luckily it was gone, and those of us who could still move took the opportunity to destroy the ritual, and then the professor of the Potions Department organized the students to take care of the injured, and brought a lot of potions from the Potions Institute not far from here, otherwise you wouldn't have woken up for a while." ”

Indeed, after he said this, Aldous found that his body and spirit, which had been greatly depleted, were much better, and although he did not return to his full strength, he was at least able to walk.

He struggled to sit up and look around, the volunteers and students who were still alive were rescuing the injured in the operation, and the red-haired boy was also in the ranks, and he walked up to the blonde Albert, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

"By the way, what happened to you casting spells before? Didn't you say that there were big side effects, and I even thought about the speech at your funeral at that time. The little old man was still whining.

"I thought I was going to die, but now it looks like I'm going to get my life back."

Alexis had a serious expression: "Seriously, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know." Aldous shook his head slightly, half-jokingly, "Maybe the gods have been in a good mood lately, so they don't care about my offense?" ”

Alexis was speechless: "Are you stupid for me?" ”

"Who knows," Aldous shrugged, "that's the way it is, I'm fine, isn't I." ”

Alexis stared at him for a moment, "Better so." ”

"Let's go, I still have something I want to confirm."

Aldous stood up and walked towards Albert with his old friends in his arms, the red-haired boy and Albert stood in the center of the auditorium, and around them were the cultists who had held hands in a circle before, but now these people had turned into dried corpses, like mummies pressed under the pyramid for thousands of years, and the moisture of the corpses had completely evaporated, which looked quite terrifying.

The sadhana carved into the skin on their backs was much more blurry, but to Aldous, he could recognize it even a little more vaguely.

Because part of this sadhana coincides with his research.

Aldous's gaze slowly focused on Albert, who was standing in silence, and let out a sigh: "Do you have anything you want to explain?" ”

Alexis glanced at Albert inexplicably, and then at Aldous, as if he understood something, and his expression gradually became serious: "Aldous, do you mean ......?"

Aldous didn't speak, and Albert lowered his head: "I'm sorry, mentor. ”

Although Albert had no choice at the time, he was sent here on a mission to infiltrate Aldous's research institute and obtain his research materials.

That is, from the very beginning, the motives were impure.

Especially after witnessing the tragedy of the almost annihilation of Master Mi's teachers and students, Albert's guilt in his heart was about to crush him.

"Answer my question, Albert," Aldous still looked serious, "have you joined the cult?" Does all this attack have anything to do with you? ”

"I ......" Albert looked at Aldous's serious and distressed eyes, and couldn't say anything for a while.

Although he joined the stranger, it was all because of the undercover mission of the inspection bureau, and as for the attack on Mitan, this should not have happened in his original plan to connect with the inspection bureau.

But the truth is that he is indeed one of the accomplices in the current situation, and looking at the volunteers who died on the ground, Albert really found it difficult to say what he had to do with all this.

But it was the little old man who spoke for Albert unusually: "Aldous, calm down, take a good look at the scars on his body." ”

The little old man did not hesitate to pull away Albert's freshly gathered clothes, only to see that the bandage almost covered Albert's chest, and judging from the traces of blood oozing, this scar almost cut his whole body. In addition, there are other wounds on the body, large and small.

"If it weren't for his desperate fighting, there would have been many more deaths and injuries among students and volunteers." Alexis said, "I don't think he could have done this if he was an undercover cult agent. ”

At this time, Ran, who was onlookers, suddenly asked, "Senior Albert, have you passed on the information in your laboratory or to anyone?" ”

Albert had only shown the information to two parties, and with Ran's interference, he had given the complete and correct information to the stranger in this dream, but to ......

Wait a minute......

Albert realized something at this moment, and slowly opened his eyes, but his heart gradually sank into the invisible abyss.

…… Inspectorate.

Only the Inspectorate has ever had this complete information! Moreover, he had sent information, but until now he has not seen the investigators sent by the Inspection Bureau.

Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Albert immediately took out a special communication device from his pocket, and as soon as he saw this device, Aldous and Alexis immediately raised their eyebrows, both of them felt very familiar.

Isn't this something from the Inspectorate?

“…… There is no signal. Albert stared blankly at the communication equipment sent by the inspection bureau, and the person who gave it to him clearly said that as long as it was still on earth, this device would work.

"Show me." Alexis took the device from Albert, "Sure enough, it's something from the Inspection Bureau, it's strange, it stands to reason that this device has a signal even in the deep mountains and old forests, and although the research results of the inspectorate are average in the mysterious field, they do have something in technology." ”

"Unless it's not Earth anymore." Rann suddenly raised his head and whispered.

A few people followed Ran's line of sight and looked into the air, only to see that the originally clear sky had gradually turned gray, this was not a change in the weather, but because at some point, a faint fog began to spread inside the Mi-Mi.

Time back to half an hour ago, the player channel

Barba: Someone! Something is wrong! Where the hell have you been? Why didn't anyone reply to me! Are all the druids wiped out!?

Black Cat: I didn't have anyone to reply just now, and the battle is fierce on the druid's side from the live broadcast room, what's the situation on your side?

Buba: Don't mention it, they've all been caught, it's supposed to be a hypnotic spell, and none of them can be boarded on the forum now, and they look weird.

Black Cat: Then why are you okay?

Buba: It's a long story......

Laughing to death: I'll say it for him! I was an audience in Diao Min's live broadcast room at that time, and I was ridiculous.

Laughing to death: It all started when you parted ways.

At that time, the player team was divided into three teams, the druid and Rann went to the auditorium, the black cat followed the teacher on duty to the academic building, and the last Diao Min team guarded these suspicious people with the rest of the players left behind, and patrolled the campus of the University of Uchigan by the way.

Because the simple guards are too boring, the Diao Min team chose the task of patrolling the campus, and by the way, they can also broadcast a map of the campus of the University of Michigan to the audience in the live broadcast room, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Everything went well at the beginning.,Although the patrol is boring.,But everyone is very interested in this map of Mi-Da.,Look at it all the way.,It's almost certain that this map is a very mature map.,Boasting about Haikou every night.,In the future, the Mi Datu will definitely open.,Otherwise, with this huge workload.,If the follow-up plot is not adopted.,The programmer and the artist will hang themselves at the door of the dog plan.。

The audience in the live broadcast room also agreed, but it was too boring to patrol like this, and in order to prevent the loss of the audience, the Diao Min team naturally began to work hard, and finally Barba, who had an exceptionally white face today, successfully sneaked out of the dice and won the first place.

Witnessed by the audience in the live broadcast room, Barba's original conspicuous figure disappeared completely, yes, so suddenly, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

[Grass, this is not stealth at all, this is magic!] 】

[Where did Baba move?] Why can't I see him? 】

[Good guy, is this sneaking into another dimension, I'm directly good guy.] 】

The barrage in the live broadcast room is all brushing 'hahahaha', and they are also playing hide and seek with Baba while laughing every night, as if they want to verify whether the person who sneaks out of the dice can be found.

Changes

It happened at this moment, they suddenly paused when they were still looking for Baba all night, and then under the gaze of the audience in the live broadcast room, several of them turned expressionlessly and turned in one direction.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, and in the midst of this fog, dense footsteps slowly sounded.

A very familiar white-haired man appeared in front of the Diao Min team, and the moment he appeared, the live broadcast room of the Diao Min team instantly exploded.

【Sleep! Trough! 】

[**OSS suddenly appeared!] 】

[Without the slightest precaution]

[Without a trace of concern]

[That's how you appeared in my world]*

[Enough upstairs, I was scared and trembled, but now I see the barrage and my emotions are gone]

[Sauron, ah, ah,

[What kind of boss rides face, you guys hurry up every night! ] 】

[Wait, don't you think there's something wrong with Diaomin's team? 】

Night Night is really wrong, not only them, but also all the players around, in the face of the **OSS that appeared out of thin air, no one was defenseless, on the contrary, they stood obediently in place, their expressions stiff and sluggish, Sauron waved his hand, and the players obediently followed him, mixing in the ranks of strangers.

[, what's wrong with them every night? 】

[Looking at the situation, it can't be a spell, right?] 】

[What, what, just met?? No, to be exact, I haven't even seen the face of the boss, right!? Why is this all annihilated?]

[Damn, why does it feel like Sauron is stronger than before, or is it because of the preset cards that players use now, so the players are too weak? 】

[I don't know, but I'm so worried, by the way, what about Baba him?] 】

[Grass, hahahahahaha 】

[Laugh and get rich, won't anyone, be unlucky enough to be hypnotized, and then because the boss can't find anyone, he didn't give an order and ended up being forgotten in another dimension, right? ] Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? 】

[Barba: You're too bad! 】

Back to reality.

Player Channel

Black Cat: So, you really became the only survivor because you were forgotten?

Barba: ......

Black Cat: Hahahahahahahaha

I want to sleep: ahhahahahahaha

Buba: Don't laugh (black line) If it weren't for me! You don't know where Sauron is!

Barba: That's pretty much it, tsk, I regained consciousness after they were gone, and now I'm following them, and the good news is that they're not in a hurry to take out the player, it's possible that they're going to use the player for something.

The black cat smiled and returned to normal, and continued to analyze the purpose of the boss: Thinking of Arkham City before, Sauron must need a sacrifice to open the door and as a stepping stone to open the dream ritual, so keep them, it won't be good that we have Barba, now that we know their location, it's easy to do, we have to stop them quickly!

Barba: By the way, this quest is a limited-time quest, do you know when the quest will end? We're still in time, right? (Hesitation.)

Black Cat: I couldn't figure this out, but now I know it.

Black Cat: Look at the sky.

Baba looked up at the sky in confusion: "...... Nothing special...... Grass, why is the moon so big? ”

Black Cat: If nothing happens tonight, it should be a 'lunar eclipse', which I have asked the teacher on duty to confirm, remember that in the gram world, the major ceremonies are generally related to special astrological signs, and the previous Arkham ritual also occurred on the day of the lunar eclipse, and the lunar eclipse will start at 5:45 p.m.

As soon as the black cat's voice fell, all players received a prompt.

[End of dungeon: 4:10:11]

Barba: Also, three hours to go.

Black Cat: What do you think, this time is estimated to be the end of the lunar eclipse, and it's 5:30 a.m.

BHA: Wasn't that only fifteen minutes!

Black Cat: Yes, the situation is urgent, it's too late to meet, send the coordinates over, and we'll each rush over there!

Players on Rann's side also received a hint, and they also watched the analysis of the player's channel Black Cat, and shouted: "It's only 15 minutes!" ”

Aldous frowned: "What 15 minutes?" ”

Rann explained to the player in a cold sweat: "That's the case, we found out that this group of cultists should not have entered the University of U-M for revenge, the evidence is that they have drawn all kinds of magic circles on the campus of U-U, I think they should hold some kind of ritual, and the ceremony is generally not best held during special astrological phenomena?" ”

"You mean tonight's lunar eclipse?" Aldous frowned, "It's really possible, the lunar eclipse is about to start, but how do we know where they are holding the ceremony, the dense area is not small." ”

At this time, the druid on the side said, "One of our companions encountered Sauron on patrol and is now following him, I think we should find a way to find him." ”

The druid's words were vague, mainly because he originally wanted to say that they could communicate through electronic devices, but the electronic devices just proved useless and could not receive any signals.

Well, it's better to be vague at this time.

Sure enough, because of the urgency of the situation, the two professors didn't care about this, but just nodded: "Then let's go." ”

"Huh?" The druids stared at them in surprise.

"What's your reaction?"

"Well, it's not for us to go by ourselves, there are still our people over there," the druid tried to be as tactful as possible, "It's too dangerous, it's better for you, as teachers, to organize students to evacuate." ”

Aldous looked at him calmly, and doubts flashed in his eyes: "If you want to evacuate, you should go, this is Mi-Mi, we have the responsibility to protect our school, but you don't." ”

Truly.

The druid opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to explain it, and scratched his hair.

Speaking of which, this dungeon seems to have rules for following the character card personality.

That's over, they seem, should be completely screwed up.

You won't be kicked out.

The druid said cautiously: "Because I want to enter this school because I want to go to this school, can't I do this?" ”

"Of course not." Aldous's face was serious.

[Woo woo woo no, I won't kick people out. 】

[It's normal, I guessed that the players were so good before, although they were very enthusiastic and touched, but it really doesn't make sense from their original character card logic, most of their preset cards are just ordinary people, how can there be so many warm-hearted virgins.] 】

[Upstairs, killing people may need a reason, but saving people doesn't need to. 】

[Yes, there is no need for logic to be good, even if a person lives at the bottom, he has the right to take out a piece of five cents in the living expenses to help people who are poorer than him. 】

"At the very least, I'll have to tell me your names first, and then I'll take next year's entrance exams," Aldous smiled with a smile on his stern wrinkled face, "There are so many people that I can't write a letter of recommendation, but don't worry, we at U-M have a special bonus system for students who have participated in unnatural surveys or made outstanding contributions to U-M, and I think you meet this qualification." ”

The surrounding players froze, and then cheered one by one.

【!? I'm so envious]

[I'm jealous to death (face distorted) Ahhhh If I don't go in again, I'm going to turn into a ghost!! 】

"So let's go and defend our school from that damn cultist!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Rush, ahhhh

Aldous's words stimulated the enthusiasm in the hearts of the players, and the druid even put down his arrogance in the live broadcast room: "After this wave, you can go to school at the University of Michigan!" When the time comes, I'll give you a live broadcast of the daily life of Mitsu. ”

[What a cute anchor hhhh, this is completely top]

[This kind of declaration, how can there be a feeling of flag]

[The druid is like an old general on the stage, full of flags]

[Alas, I can't bear to remind him that Mita is just a phantom]

Regardless of whether the players forgot or deliberately did not remember this fact, at least at this moment, the players who had been a little decadent after playing the Auditorium dungeon regrouped and walked towards the coordinates sent by Baba with great momentum.

Of course, not all the Mi teachers and students present participated, and some people were left to take care of the injured personnel, and the druids originally wanted the two old professors, Aldous and Alexis, to stay, after all, the two were old, and they were both injured and not in their prime, but they couldn't resist their insistence, so they had to set off together.

In the procession, Rann glanced blankly at Albert, a young man with a blank face and a blank eye.

As for the adult version, I don't know why it disappeared without a hair after the end of the auditorium dungeon, and I don't know what kind of wind to smoke, maybe I was ashamed of myself before and didn't dare to come to see him for the time being?

But in any case, the opponent will definitely appear in the final battle, and as expected, the final battle with Sauron is the last node in Albert's memory.

At the same time, it is also the key to whether Rann can change the ending of Mi. ：，，.
