Returning from the abyss

Chapter 393
Above the Polaris, there is a huge "concert hall" suspended.

Decorated mainly in gold and white, the splendid organ forms the screens on the left and right wings, surrounding the throne in the middle composed of countless percussion instruments.In the "corridor" formed by the screen, there are two rows of skeletons wrapped in gold and white patterned shrouds. Their bodies have been transformed into the appearance of musical instruments, from cellos, violins, accordions to clarinets There are all kinds of orchestral instruments such as , trombone and trumpet.

On the throne, sits a skeleton pasted with gold foil. A crown composed of musical notes is worn on the skull's head. Its ribs on both sides have been replaced by mechanical skeleton arms several meters long, holding Drumsticks and batons, while playing, are also directing the concerto of the two orchestras. A solemn prayer sonata is drumming people's eardrums.

The area of ​​the entire concert hall is enough to cover the Polaris House, and the height almost reaches the ceiling. The sitting golden skull rests its two normal arms on its knees, and a pair of empty eye sockets seem to stare at the earth.

"What kind of monster is this!" Maoyou was startled when he saw this formation.All the enemies that everyone dealt with before were no more than the size of a few people, such as the leader of Gu Yu, and they had never encountered such a behemoth.

Lu Ning also felt this way. Among other things, this body size alone could crush most of the previous leaders. What's more, as a crisis leader, he may be the strongest leader. Taining can't do it. There are no other means of attack.

"Lu, can this thing really hit?" Rosa questioned, "To be honest, I don't think I can smash such a big thing."

"I don't think you can either." Lu Ning stood at the entrance of the passage and did not continue to enter the courtyard. Right now, Tai Ning was just directing the performance, but once he found the enemy, he didn't know how he would react.

"Our weapons probably won't be easy to use." Joe whispered, "With such a large size, we must use those special things. I have seen people use them before, things like explosives and missiles..."

"He's right. Lu, for such an enemy, even if your crescent moon is fully charged, it's not enough to cause fatal injuries. We don't have powerful destructive weapons or props in our hands."

Even Mayuri's three-meter-high steel giant was insignificant in front of this large concert hall. Rosa's words were not only a reminder, but also a question.

"There is indeed no annihilating weapon among the props." Lu Ning thought about this enemy for a long time, and finally felt a little tricky, "It's not that I have nothing to do, but the benefits of doing that are negative."

"Then don't do it!" Maoyou said hastily, "Who are you going to fight for such a guy? We have no obligation to deal with these leaders. Anyway, it is so big that it can't even get out. We just don't Can't you just come to this courtyard?"

"Lu... I think so too." Ping Na whispered, "How many stars did you get for killing the leader just now? But how much does it cost to deal with such a leader?"

one star.

The value of the Great Demon is still only one star. Although the leader of Xuanyue Crisis will be given two stars, the value of the leader of the trap does not seem to have increased.This is also one of the issues Lu Ning is considering.

"But we have a big problem right now."

"Ok?"

"Have you noticed that the Garden of Winter... no, it should be said that the layout of all the courtyards in the small garden is a bit different?"

"Oh, you said that, the door is in a different position, isn't it?" Rosa said.

Lu Ning nodded. The four gardens in the small garden are connected differently from the three curved rooms on the periphery.For example, there are triangular doors on both sides and a single door in the middle in the Autumn Garden. The three curved rooms are not connected.

The door of the Winter Garden is exactly at the two intersections of the three arc-shaped rooms. It is also a triangular door, but there are only two doors connected in this way, and there is no direct path leading to the outer corridor.To put it simply, the small garden area of ​​the Winter Garden is closed, and the same is true of the Spring Garden, which cannot directly enter the peripheral corridor through the small garden.

"This means that we have to wait here for 5 minutes, or we have to step into the courtyard." Lu Ning explained a little, and everyone's faces were slightly ugly.

5 minutes is not long, but waiting at this time always makes people feel uneasy.

The hesitation didn't last long before it was broken by a broadcast.

[Warning: The weather unlocking of the corridor area on the lower floor of the Autumn Garden has begun. The area will be completely closed within 10 minutes, and the crisis time will be postponed for 10 minutes. All personnel, please pay attention to the changes of various facilities. 】

As if the situation wasn't bad enough, less than ten seconds after the broadcast ended, another broadcast came:
[Warning: Autumn Garden No. 10 courtyard area weather unlocking starts, the area will be completely closed within 10 minutes, the crisis time will be postponed for [-] minutes, all personnel please pay attention to the changes of various facilities. 】

"Someone is planning to fully unlock the Autumn Garden." Rosa's face darkened, "otherwise the impossible areas will start to be unlocked continuously."

"Levanska, or someone else. Obviously, someone has also received the related task of fully unlocking it. Even if they don't want to, they should take the risk now that it is more difficult to obtain the stars."

"Then can we use the weather unlock to deal with this guy?" Rosa pointed to the concert hall in the sky with the anchor.

"I thought about it, it's just that we don't have an invisibility cloak now, so we dare not enter the courtyard at all..."

"My score can be exchanged for one." Maoyou said.

"Uh?"

"After completing that mission, I now have seven stars in my hand." Maoyou shook his arm, "Three-level props can be exchanged."

"Where did you find the mission?" Joe was a little surprised.

"It's just... just rubbing against it while running."

In this way, it seems that Maoyou really likes to run around, and he was the first to find out the weather unlock switch. It's amazing to have so many stars.

[Warning: The weather unlocking of the inner corridor area of ​​the Autumn Garden begins, and the area will be completely closed within 10 minutes, and the crisis time will be postponed for 10 minutes. All personnel, please pay attention to the changes of various facilities. 】

"Someone is indeed unlocking it. It's not just Levanska who is doing it at such a frequency. He doesn't have enough hands." Lu Ning immediately asked Maoyou to exchange things, and a piece of water-like water soon appeared in his hand. The general invisible cloak can completely hide the figure after being worn on the body.

"Lu, I'll check again. When I find the switch, just press it and come back, right?"

"Don't run away."

"Hey, I don't have a place to run, do I?" Maoyou gave a thumbs up, and that hand also disappeared.The invisibility of the invisibility cloak is perfect, and things like sounds and smells also disappear from the field of vision, and usually cannot be detected by means of detection.

"Hey, Lu, if the Autumn Garden is really unlocked, then the next one will be triggered..." Rosa was a little worried.

"Frost's Fall."

"You know what the word Frost's Descent reminds me of?"

"I have a bad history."

"..." Rosa glanced at Lu Ning, so confident that she choked a little, and then said, "Patrollers on the ice field."

"I don't know what the outside world is like yet, you know my time is spent in the alleys."

"Okay, but that's just a word in history. They're famous because that's supposed to be the last thing recorded before the world became what it is."

"Is there any famous rumor, so that we can be forewarned?"

"Bringing the cold wind from the north, turning all the places it passes into frozen soil, the city-state trembles, and the country must be ready for battle. It seems that the world at that time has become riddled with holes, and the purpose of the patrols is not clear. They just swept through all the cities they encountered along the way, and then triggered a cold wave in the center of the world at that time. After that, all records were basically interrupted, and when history continued again, it was the Mastermind who appeared."

"It sounds more like the enemy that Dahan should deal with."

"Frost's Descent, should it mean sending everything into a severe winter? It's not that the already cold is even colder. The world at that time should still be saved..."

"We don't have to worry about the world at that time. The question now is what level of enemy we have to face." Lu Ning raised her head, "There is one place left."

[The weather lock of Autumn Garden has been released. From now on, Garden No. [-] Courtyard, No. [-] Courtyard, Lower Corridor, and Inner Corridor will permanently maintain the "Frostfall" state.All units entering the garden should pay attention to the cold fog. 】

"Maoyou is one step late. In this case, there are only two gardens in winter and summer that have no weather to unlock. In other words, the probability of monsters appearing in these two gardens will be much higher than elsewhere. I think it's interesting, but now is not the time to talk about it."

5 minutes have passed, and the elevator behind her can be used, but since Maoyou is going to unlock it, she also needs to do something.

Lu Ning stepped into the courtyard. At this moment, she felt the gaze from above. The skeletons of the two orchestras seemed to be looking in this direction. Although they were still playing, the sacred prayer melody Some chilling mourning begins to mix in.

The golden skull stood up from the throne, and the two mechanical arms holding the baton swung more vigorously, leading the orchestra to play more and more magnificent movements.It seemed to feel something, but nothing.

"wrong."

Lu Ning also immediately realized that Tai Ning, the biggest threat, did not focus on her. It just looked up at the sky, as if it just happened to catch up with her stepping into the courtyard.While her heart was shaking, she had already buttoned up her sleeves, ready to use all her means to solve the problem in front of her at any time.

At this moment, Maoyou finally triggered the alarm in the courtyard.

The music suddenly stopped for a few seconds.

Everything seems to be in slow motion.Quiet, deadly silence enveloped the courtyard for five seconds. King Taining and his orchestra stood still as if time had been stopped. Only the snowflakes falling from the sky and the sharp drop in temperature told Lu Ning that it was not in this way.

You can even feel the pain in your joints, the cold invaded every inch of your uncovered skin, Lu Ning felt that even his blood froze at this moment, and the sudden heavy snow completely engulfed his vision, it was terrifying The cold wind is howling, and a quiet lament is played again in the ice and snow.

"Winter's Wound?" Rosa's voice sounded behind Lu Ning.

"What did you say?"

"I said we need to find a place! This is Winter's Wound! The funeral song that guy wrote before he died! No wonder this guy has to appear in this area...Damn it! My finger!"

Lu Ning felt a touch on her shoulder, and then retracted instantly, but something still stuck to her body.

"Don't touch each other! Don't touch anything! Not even walls! Don't draw your weapons—"

Rosa's voice became weaker and weaker in the wind and snow, but Lu Ning also knew what happened. She moved her arms that were so cold and stiff, and opened her mouth with difficulty: "Self-hypnosis."

Immediately her body stopped feeling cold.

The illusion of Baishu can be directly imposed on the summoner, and even form certain real changes.Lu Ning immediately felt less cold, and her stiff limbs became able to move freely.But this situation is only due to the effect of the illusion. She knows very well that if she really thinks that she has the ability to resist the cold, then the consequences may not be the same as the little match girl.

She braved the cold wind and walked to the big room that must have been in the No. [-] courtyard, and found that the door had been opened, and one hand was glued to the switch. Maoyou's head was floating in the air with a mournful face looking at her. How did she feel? thriller.

"Lu, I, my hands are stuck..."

"Don't touch anything, break it, you probably won't feel any pain."

"Break!?"

"Or freeze to death outside, I think you know the choice."

With a bitter face, Maoyou swung his hand hard, and half of his fingers were left on the switch. Lu Ning looked at the figures behind him, there were three of them, and then burrowed into the room.

Maoyou, Rosa, Qiao and Pingna also ran in in embarrassment. In just such a short time, the four of them were covered with ice, and Pingna's face was a little purple. What happened to Rosa's hand holding the anchor? They dare not let go.

"It's cold in the house, too!" Joe shivered, crossing his arms.

"At least it's better than the outside... Hajiu! A little bit stronger..." Maoyou said with chattering teeth, "It's too cold, is this heavy snow?"

"It should be counted. Don't worry about the treatment first. Let's observe the situation outside."

Lu Ning approached the small window on the wall and glanced outside, and found that she couldn't see anything. The glass had already been covered with a thick layer of ice, and from time to time, huge snow particles hit it and continued to thicken the sealing layer.

"What are we waiting for?" Rosa saw Lu Ning's intention.

"Yes... After all, Maoyou is a little late, so I am waiting for the crisis to come."

[Crisis Alert: All areas of the Autumn Garden have officially unlocked the weather, and the weather status in the garden will be completely lifted and will not return.The normal crisis arrival time for all staff will be permanently postponed by two hours.

No.14 trap has been triggered, repeat, No.14 trap has been triggered.The special crisis "Frost's Descent" will be triggered in all areas except Spring Garden, please pay attention to all personnel. 】

Amidst the howling wind outside, the sound of music, and the sound of snow particles scraping, an ice explosion exploded.
