Chapter 2719 [Alley No. 13]

Shade continued to walk forward. After the fourth turn, he should have returned to the corridor where the stairs connected to the ground were, but the fact was that the first house number Shade saw was still "Morgue No. 9", next to the corridor. There are no stairs to the ground either.

He stood there in a daze for a while, that is, he communicated with the witch cat telepathically, and then followed the usual approach when such strange things happened in the story, he dug out an empty bottle from his pocket and threw it on the wall. side.

When he turned the corner again, the bottle had disappeared, but the house number on the side of the corridor was still "Morgue No. 9."

Shade did not stop this time, but continued to move forward, and had no intention of opening the doors of the surrounding rooms. Just like that, after he turned the thirteenth time, although the house number on the right remained unchanged, there were two more people in the corridor this time, and at the end of the corridor behind them, a street sign was erected in the middle of the road. .

The two extra men are both men, and both are ring warlocks. One looks quite young, probably just coming of age, and the other looks like a middle-aged man. They should all be in the middle ring, and the middle-aged man immediately asked doubtfully after seeing Shade appear:

"Can you explain how you did it?"

"How did you do that?"

Xia De then asked, and the middle-aged man replied:

"The Keeper-level relic [Alley No. 13] can only be used in repetitive terrain. After use, a certain area will be turned into a cyclic space. Each time you re-enter the cyclic space created by the relic at the end of the cycle , there is a 90% probability of encountering a supernatural event related to the site. If you encounter a supernatural phenomenon, you need to solve the event and go back. If there is a 10% chance that nothing happens, you need to continue moving forward.

Only by walking through thirteen repeated terrains can one get rid of the effect of the relic. "

He took a deep breath:

"We have arranged the morgue in advance. You should trigger ghosts, corpses or even more terrifying things. You will only see us after experiencing frequent battles. Thirteen times, a total of thirteen times, Can you explain how you achieved a 10% chance of winning the bet thirteen times in a row?"

Shade looked at the street sign standing behind them. Not long ago, he was talking to the girls at home about the relics that expand the space. Unexpectedly, this relic appeared, but unfortunately the side effects of this relic were too great:

"That's it. Actually, I'm a little curious too. Just now I was wondering when the door next to me would suddenly open, or when the lights would suddenly go out and monsters would appear. It seems like I just have better luck."

Before he finished speaking, the two people standing side by side had already entered the "rapid spell" state. The relatively narrow corridor left no room for anyone to dodge. After sprinting in a straight line, the two of them were in front of Shade almost in the next second.

In the accelerated state of time, of course their nervous reactions can keep up with their own movements. But they were surprised to find that the eyes of the unknown young man in front of them could completely follow their every move, and his eyes were always staring at them.

Most thaumaturgy and incantation cannot be performed in the "Rapid Charm" state. This is the most important shortcoming of this thaumaturgy. But Shade only reacted faster on his own, so he was so nervous that he could strike forward in that second:

"Moonlight Slash!"

The left and right ends of the slanting moonlight even directly touched the side walls of the corridor. Even in the "rapid spell" state, the speed could not keep up with the speed of light, but at least the two people running at full speed, one jumped up suddenly, and the other slid on his knees, All of them successfully passed through the gaps between the moonlight and the ceiling, and between the moonlight and the floor.

But because of such exaggerated evasive movements, they lost their attention on Shade. So when the two people who landed and tried to stand up looked at Shade again, the bottom of the long black staff had already hit the ground:

"Stability principle!"

Green waves swept along the ground, and then the two of them were surprised to find that Shade's movements suddenly accelerated. But soon they realized that it was not Shade who was accelerating, but that they had actually exited the "rapid spell" state.

Under the principle of stability, the instability was smoothed out most of the time, and Shade, who moved faster, did not rush directly towards the two of them, but raised his hand and performed another thaumaturgy:

"Confining Halo!"

A silver halo with an afterimage flew out, and the distance between the three of them was close enough. The two members of the [Tree Hole Association] didn't even have room to dodge. So the two haloes were successfully placed on the heads of the two people, but the young man who looked young but had a level of eight rings suddenly pulled his companion, and then the two disappeared out of thin air and appeared ten meters behind them. s position.

The Imprisonment Halo chased away, but was shot down by the two prepared men.

"Space jump thaumaturgy?"

Surprised, Shade raised his eyebrows and watched the two people turn around and flee to the other end of the corridor. The two shields behind them overlapped each other, and the defensive thaumaturgy used by the two of them worked together to great effect.

Shade did not catch up or try to break through their defenses, but left the corridor in the opposite direction with the [Staff of Yectrasil].

As for the two people who were trying to escape, when they were near the end of the corridor, they saw a huge brown bear suddenly appear from the corner. The bear even had to bend down to avoid being hit on the head, but at least its claws were clever enough. It just flicked the road sign to change its direction, and the two people with changed faces immediately disappeared in the corridor.

"What happened?"

Shad, who had walked around the corridor, appeared from the corner of the corridor behind the brown bear, and the bear turned back into an owl and flew to Shad's shoulder:

"They are trapped by the relic. According to my understanding of this keeper-level relic, it will take them at least half an hour to get out."

In fact, the third time the corridor repeated its cycle just now, the learned witch basically determined what relic they encountered. While Shad and the two people from the [Tree Hole Association] were confronting each other, she walked around counterclockwise and successfully trapped the two people with the other party's relic.

However, Shad and the witch, who were worried, checked the surrounding area again, and finally confirmed that there was no third person ambushing here. During this period, the phantoms of the two people trapped in the relic kept appearing in the corridor like ghosts.

In this state, Shade and Miss Winslet could not interfere with them, and could only watch them fight with something that the two people in the outside world could not see.

The ring magicians of the [Tree Hole Association] obviously did not have Shade's luck. They had a 10% chance of not encountering it once. While the two were still fighting the abnormal phenomena in the corridor of the autopsy room in the relic, Shade also checked the road sign.

The main body of the Secret Keeper-level relic [Alley 13] is this rusty road sign. The road sign itself is square, and the back is connected to a metal pipe by welding, so that it can be inserted into the soil, but according to the witch, the metal pipe is just an ordinary item. In fact, the relic itself only contains the road sign itself.

It can work by standing it upright or by fixing it to the wall, but each time it is fixed in place, it can only work on the people who appear first, and then it needs to be fixed again to work again. As for its negative characteristics, the abnormal events and monsters generated by the relic for the scene, a very small part of which can actively leave the scope of the relic after all the entrants die, and become a real "relic derivative".

This also leads to the [Alley 13] road sign being one of the relics with the most types of relic derivatives. Miss Owl even said that this relic has generated more than one recorded angel-level relic:

"The Whale in the Cloud, the Giant of the Night Mountains, and the event-type relic "Falling into the Deep Sea". Fortunately, generating such high-risk events requires extremely strict venues, but the morgue will not cause such a big trouble."

The text on the road sign belongs to the Third Age, which also shows that the origin of this relic is quite ancient.

In order to prevent the relic from suddenly interrupting its effect, Shade did not touch it with his hand, but he could still see a string of more dense and small letters below the letters "Alley 13":

[This is a warm home that people don't want to leave. 】

"So, Professor Quinto's death is related to the Tree Hole Association, right?"

Shad asked with a sigh, and the owl spread its wings and flew up:

"I'll go take a look at the professor's body and try to communicate with the spirit. You stay here and watch these two people, be careful."

She flew to the morgue No. 5, opened the door by herself and flew in. But she came back with her wings flapping not long after, and turned into a cat after landing on Shad's shoulder, and her tail even rubbed Shad's neck:

"They came early to deal with Professor Quinto's body, and the spirit communication failed."

"Then wait and see what they did."

Miss Danister, who stayed at the hotel, thought that the two people who went out on the rainy night would be back soon, but she and Miss Bell waited until ten o'clock in the evening, and even wanted the witch followers downstairs to go find someone, when the owl, like a drowned chicken, grabbed the cat, which was also wet in the rain, and flew out of the window. The silver cat also grabbed a small metal road sign.

Miss Bell hurriedly opened the window, and the two cats fell on the windowsill together, and then swung their bodies wildly in almost the same movements. Miss Bell then went to get a towel and wiped the rain off the two cats before they turned back to normal.

The metal road sign was turned upside down on the windowsill. Shade sat down on the sofa with his forehead covered, looking a little tired. The red-haired girl personally poured him a cup of tea, and her tone was very gentle:

"Did you encounter an emergency? I noticed that you brought back a relic."
