Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the ground, turning the earth pale, and a long and deep shadow was drawn behind the castle standing on the endless wasteland.

Then, with the dull thunder, the world fell into darkness, a darkness without any light, a darkness so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Crack...!

The blackened wick soaked in blood slowly released a shimmering light.

Zhang Yao leaned half against the wall, his eyes narrowed from slightly to fully opened, and he quickly adapted to the sudden change between day and night.

At this time, he immediately tensed up and carefully stared at the area illuminated by the oil lamp to see if another shadow appeared.

According to his past experience.

It gets dark.

A layer of wandering ghosts,

And those unspeakable horrors should all be revived.

Fortunately, his profession gave him basic night vision, so that he would not feel helpless in the dark.

"Let's explore the second floor first... Well, I didn't expect it before. It's not because of fear, but simply because there are no cursed objects and I don't have the confidence... Even if the guest in Room 5 leaves, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger...

What if tenant No. 5 suddenly comes back...

Yes! Shut up!

Brother Leg has figured out its killing pattern, so it’s not a big problem!

The only danger is that I may run into my old sister again... It will definitely be too late to run to Brother Pig, and I don't have a second Ankh...

Then open a guest door and let them fight with each other!

Just choose number one!

It saves me from knocking on my door every night and making it difficult for me to sleep well!"

Zhang Yao consciously thought of a very safe plan.

He immediately took out the cloth strip, filled his mouth, and wrapped it tightly around the back of his head.

...This will also prevent him from getting high without thinking!

Simply perfect!

call!

Zhang Yao raised his foot and stepped lightly, and thick black mist suddenly poured out from the gaps in his armor and quickly filled the surrounding area.

Pairs of scarlet eyes loomed in the black mist, accompanied by low and chaotic murmurs, which seemed to drive people into madness.

Dark touch.

This skill can help Zhang Yao explore hidden things within the range and perceive things that are invisible to sight.

It has a strong restraint effect on units with stealth capabilities.

Moreover, dark energy itself is extremely polluting to conventional creatures, and it can also exert considerable power when dealing with such enemies.

Dark Knight.

This is a profession that controls the power of darkness.

However, for Zhang Yao, the greatest help of releasing the dark sense is that it allows him to grasp the situation around him.

Sense in advance and avoid those strange areas.

With this skill, he could return safely after exploring many unknown areas in the castle.

Except for the weird things like ghosts and portraits of women that have been staring at him.

Dark fog filled the air.

The surrounding scenes gradually formed an outline in Zhang Yao's mind.

"The ghost is not here?"

Zhang Yao looked around strangely.

If it had been in the past, that ghost would have appeared next to him without any warning the moment darkness fell.

"It seems that many unknown changes did occur last night."

He couldn't help but think.

At the same time, the fear of the old sister has also been reduced. It is speculated that she may have been solved by Brother Zhu...

Thump thump thump.

He walked quickly through the building to the second floor of the castle.

As he approached the stairs, he slowed down and listened quietly for a while.

"The tenants on the second floor are usually very quiet. Only tenant No. 1 will come out for a walk at night, but more often around twelve o'clock...

It should be safe now.

No.

I think I'd better go around the other side.

Since it can move at night, it doesn’t have to wait until after twelve o’clock. I can’t fall into the fixed misunderstanding of thinking..."

Zhang Yao feels that he has become smarter after communicating with Brother Leg.

I'm so witty!

The second floor is a connected circular corridor with a square shape, which is rare in castle-style buildings.

It's more like a modern apartment building layout.

Zhang Yao left the stairs and walked to the left.

The front corner was submerged in the darkness of the night.

Silence.

Through dark night vision.

Zhang Yao could clearly see the withered potted plant standing in the corner, twisted like a withered human hand.

The exquisite paintings on the flower pots, the hanging dark purple curtains, and the mottled oil paintings hanging on the walls seem to be randomly rendered with paint.

But at this moment, they all showed strangely clear black and white in the darkness.

Heavy and depressing.

The thick fog under his feet continued to spread forward, but his abilities were greatly suppressed on the second floor.

The dark touch that could originally be controlled to cover nearly thirty meters was compressed and could only spread forward three meters.

This was completely different from the situation when he was exploring the first floor of the castle.

Three meters.

It is no longer a distance that can provide him with safe contact.

Once something strange happens, there is almost no room for buffering.

in other words.

This skill can only provide him with very limited help on the second floor.

Zhang Yaochen took a deep breath and held the meat cleaver.

Suddenly.

Countless densely intertwined dark lines appeared in his field of vision.

But he soon discovered that this method didn't work either.

There are too many black lines.

It's literally everywhere.

Even the floor tiles under his feet were entangled with several black lines, which could not serve as a guide for him...

Um?

Weird.

Zhang Yao took a strange look at the black threads wrapped around the wall and floor tiles.

Some are incomprehensible.

He originally thought that the lines he could see after picking up the meat cleaver referred to each individual weird existence.

Could it be.

Will all strangely disturbed objects affect the judgment of the meat cleaver?

He didn't get too hung up on the matter, it wasn't particularly important to him.

Taking heavy steps and walking forward, Zhang Yao stared at the deep darkness around the corner, his heart clenched inexplicably, and an uneasy aura lingered in his chest, as if he was walking towards the abyss step by step.

"call……"

Zhang Yao's breathing became difficult and heavy unconsciously.

A terrible thought suddenly emerged.

"wrong.

If I were to take a detour from the other side, the first place I would pass would be the most terrifying room No. 9!

The only locked room on the second floor..."

Suddenly.

He stopped.

The instinct of danger drove him to no longer be able to move forward.

That feeling, although not as strong as when I faced the sunflowers in the flower bed before.

But this is also because he has not yet faced the terrifying room.

"How could I have such an idea of ​​seeking death..."

Zhang Yao immediately turned around, without any thought of showing off. He knew that all the pretentious and reckless behaviors when faced with strangeness were just trying to commit suicide.

Although.

This is basically a lesson he learned from himself...

Turn around and walk to the other side.

Passing by the room without a door number, Zhang Yao took a look. Although without the candles, this safe house was no longer in name only.

Weirdness can invade at any time.

But this room is also the only place where he can stay and rest.

then.

Zhang Yao walked slowly through Room 1.

After the light of the oil lamp shone on the scarlet door, he seemed to hear a slight sound coming from the room.

As if whispering.

Fortunately.

The door did not open directly in the end.

His hanging heart dropped suddenly and he continued to walk forward.

Room 2,

Room three...

The two dark red doors were closed tightly.

Zhang Yao was about to cross and walk into the next corner. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the floor at the door of room three.

He didn't pay attention at all.

But the dark touch will feedback all traces to him clearly.

immediately.

Zhang Yao discovered the mark that had just been left.

"Room 3 has been opened?!"

"when!?"

His breathing quickened uncontrollably.

For him.

Every tenant on the second floor is an extremely terrifying and strange existence.

And this, he has also confirmed through Cheng Shen, the terror level of the little girl is definitely far higher than that of the cheongsam woman!

I am afraid.

Among the beings he has ever seen, only Brother Pig can compare with him.

The most important thing is, don't look at Zhang Yao who has been jumping up and down in the castle trying to die.

But this is because he clearly knows that on the first floor he is exploring, whether it is Brother Pig, the terrifying existence in the cemetery behind the castle, or the weird bell tower, there is a fixed range of activities that cannot be left!

But that’s not the case for the tenants on the second floor!

As soon as the little girl left, she appeared directly in front of Cheng Shen who was thousands of miles away.

This is enough to show that the activities of the tenants on the second floor are not restricted!

An unrestricted ghost can drive him around, and an unrestricted cheongsam woman can even force his life away.

If another tenant appears on the second floor...

Zhang Yao's heart trembled.

must.

ASAP.

Improve your ability to fight against the weird!

Zhang Yao firmly believed and walked towards the next corner. The picture in front of him soon became clear. The same corridor, the same windows, the same chaotic oil painting with no meaning, and three doors that seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

The only difference is.

number four,

number five,

number six,

The blood color of these three doors is darker, tending to dark red, especially when everything around them appears strangely black and white.

Extremely scarlet and dazzling.

in.

The door of Room 5 was half opened, and the door was filled with depth and darkness that seemed to swallow the soul, blocking Zhang Yao's sight.

"What will be in room five?"

"Am I being too desperate... I haven't even explored much of the area on the first floor, and I want to get in touch with the secrets on the second floor in advance..."

"But Brother Leg is right. If you don't take the risk while it's gone, you'll have no chance when it comes back..."

Zhang Yao's thoughts were complicated.

unconsciously.

His footsteps had stopped in front of the door of Room 5.

The light emitted by the oil lamp swayed violently at this moment, as if being blown by the wind, flickering in and out, but Zhang Yao did not notice any airflow.

But as the flame became unstable, a cold air gradually spread out from the oil lamp.

"Going out of control?!"

Zhang Yao was shocked.

What's in room five?

Just by being close, can the strangeness in the oil lamp be revived in advance?

Think about it for a moment.

Zhang Yao decisively stuffed the oil lamp into his backpack to isolate it.

The purpose of the oil lamp was to block the erosion of the weird and protect his safety, but in this case, holding it would only speed up the recovery of the weird within, making it even more dangerous.

but.

In this case, the only thing he can rely on is the meat cleaver.

Zhang Yao's eyes flickered, and after a brief mental struggle, he finally suppressed his timid thoughts.

The more dangerous it is.

This means you may get greater returns.

This is not his imagination, nor is it the wrong thinking that Cheng Shen instilled in him, but the rules that this castle has always shown him.

Every place that could be dangerous.

There are items that can help him become stronger.

Such as oil lamps.

The servant's room is the area where ghost activity is most frequent.

If Zhang Yao hadn't followed Cheng Shen's suggestion and had the courage to go in and explore for a while, he might have collapsed at the ghost level.

There is no oil lamp.

It is even less possible for him to get the blank portrait.

It's like a ring within a ring.

Zhang Yao instinctively felt that he seemed to have grasped an important hint. However, upon careful reflection, his experience was full of uncertain factors due to his attempt to commit suicide, so he could not conclude...

After taking back the oil lamp.

Zhang Yao took out the portrait that was blank again.

But this time he had experience. Even though there was an inexplicable impulse in his heart, he did not lower his head to look at the portrait.

He turned the front of the portrait to the door.

This is his judgment.

Since this portrait can suck him in and imprison such terrifying monsters as the old sister, it should also be effective against other monsters.

If it doesn't work.

He also has Brother Pig's meat cleaver.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yao suddenly rushed towards the door with a sudden change of heart.

"Just die!"

His mindless recklessness surged into his heart.

This moment.

All thoughts and wisdom were left behind by him!

call!

The moment he stepped into the darkness, Zhang Yao seemed to be immersed in some extremely viscous substance, his mouth and nose seemed to be blocked, and a sense of panic that he could not breathe suddenly arose in his heart.

At this time, there were waves of cold touches coming from all around, as if there were countless cold arms pulling on his body!

"Go away!!"

Zhang Yao shouted in his heart.

Without hesitation, he waved the meat cleaver in his hand and slashed forward.

He didn't know who the target was.

I don't know what I want to cut.

I just instinctively felt that I had to make this cut!

boom!

An indescribable force suddenly erupted from the meat cleaver.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated and everything turned into nothingness. Zhang Yao only saw a twisted and changing black line appearing in front of his eyes.

And the next moment.

This black line was cut directly with the meat cleaver!

Snap!

A soft sound.

Zhang Yao looked up with a feeling, and saw that the red line above his head, which was connected to an unknown place and might symbolize his vitality, was strangely split from it.

The lifeline that was already as thin as a hair has become more fragile and illusory.

Zhang Yao's face turned pale. He had not suffered any substantial harm, but he clearly felt that he had lost something very important.

The black fog dissipated instantly.

A very ordinary hotel room appeared in front of him.

Only then did Zhang Yao realize that he thought he had walked a long way, but in fact he had only just stepped into the room.

Half of his body was still outside the door.

And just to the side, facing the door, is a classical-style mahogany wardrobe.

The cabinet door was open, and a single, double-breasted black coat hung inside.

There was a crack in the coat that almost completely tore it open.

But what is visible to the naked eye is that this crack is crawling strangely and slowly healing as if it is alive.
