Goddess Wanhua Mirror

And at this moment, the magic lamps in everyone's hands suddenly went out, and the darkness engulfed everyone in an instant.

In the darkness, the female adventurer suddenly let out a piercing scream, followed by exclamations from various members of the investigation team.The young man in the team felt that someone suddenly pushed him hard from behind. The strength was beyond imagination. Even a fighter like him, who had practiced high-end martial arts, staggered and slid several meters away, almost falling over on the ground.

By the time he gained a firm foothold, a certain distance had already been opened between himself and other teammates.

"Where are you? Are you all okay?"

"I'm fine, but suddenly I can't use magic."

"Me, me too, magic doesn't work anymore."

In the darkness, the voices of two companions, a man and a woman, were heard. Judging by the location of the voices, the young man in the team was about seven or eight meters away from him. He wanted to rush over, but hesitated as soon as he raised his feet, because He couldn't be sure if there were any other traps in this room.

In desperation, the young man could only remind his teammates to stand still and not move. The secret room that popped up suddenly was obviously weird. The priests and magicians in the team were all banned. They were also inexplicably broken, and everyone had no means of lighting for a while.

In this kind of darkness where you can't see your fingers, no matter how strong your heart is, your anxiety will accelerate and surge over time.

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a very slight friction sound in the darkness, and then a small flame appeared in the darkness, illuminating a small area.The sudden light immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone found that the faint fire was made by the female adventurer who was rescued by them.

The young man knew the small burning wooden pole in the opponent's hand. It was a kind of fire-making tool called a match. He had only seen it in Pine Town. The local grocery store sold it very cheaply. He also bought a box to play with. I think this gadget is very interesting, but not as compelling as magic.As a result, they never thought that this gadget would become their only lighting appliance now.

The match lasted for a short time, and the faint light went out again in less than two seconds.Immediately afterwards, the slight friction sound came again in the darkness, but what made the young man feel a little strange was that the female adventurer, who had been thinking non-stop before, was surprisingly quiet now.

In the darkness, the sound of matches rubbing against each other at an unhurried frequency, one after another, but the light never appeared. An inexplicable sense of anxiety arose in the young man's heart. He wished he could rush over now, from that The clumsy woman took the match out of her hand and brought it herself.

Unable to bear the restlessness that tormented his spirit, the young man finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hey! It's just a match, can you do it?"

Hearing the impatient words of the young man, the sound of matches rubbing against each other in the darkness stopped abruptly.The young man couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard another rubbing sound in the darkness, and the dim yellow fire appeared again, and suddenly appeared in front of him from a few meters away.

And the female adventurer striking the match teleported to him without making a sound.The faces of the two were less than ten centimeters apart, and under the light of the match, that originally pretty face was covered with a frightening and strange color.

On the side of the central camp, Lude, who was pretending to be resting, quietly opened a slit of his eyes and looked around. Not far from him, Li Wei and others were still addicted to playing cards, unaware that he had passed the "soul out of body" , secretly went outside for a turn.

More than an hour later, the four reconnaissance teams that went out returned one after another. Although they were all safe and sound at first glance, their mental state was obviously not very good.

Several team leaders tried to explain incoherently to Celica that when they were exploring the maze, they encountered some "indescribable" things. Although their situations were different, they were all tossed enough.This made Celica and the companions who stayed behind feel very puzzled, what the hell is it that can scare the originally very brave teammates into such a virtue.

At this time, Lude, who had silently listened to the narration, spoke.

"I think they must have encountered an evil spirit."

"Evil spirit?"

"It's a monster that is similar to undead, but not undead. This kind of monster is not common. They feed on the fear of living people, so they like to scare people very much. It should be the one you encountered before."

Lu De, who is "well-informed", gave everyone a popular science on what evil spirits are, and said that such monsters are not common, and he has only encountered a few times in his life.

Evil spirits are different from undead. The latter are transformed by living people after death. Because they have strong mental power during life, their souls will not die after their bodies die. Therefore, magicians belong to the high-risk group of undead.A few particularly powerful beings will awaken special abilities after becoming undead.

In the initial stage of transformation, many undead, because they have not lost their sanity, know that they will endanger the living, so they either take the initiative to find a place to hide, or they simply take the initiative to find the priest to ask the other party to purify themselves.

Only those undead with unresolved grievances, or those who have gone mad for a long time will actively attack the living, and this type of undead is generally called "evil spirit" or "wraith".

But evil spirits are different. No one knows where they come from, but it is certain that they are not human-made.These monsters are the embodiment of evil will, they have no entity, not even a fixed image like the undead.

These evil spirits feed on the fear of the living, so the more fear they have in the heart, the greater their power.When people's will is destroyed, they will take advantage of the situation to invade the body, and then use it to do bad things.

In addition, Lu De also told everyone that evil spirits can hardly be killed and can only be expelled as much as possible.He has always suspected that the bodies of these monsters are not in this world, but "projections" from other planes. Divine magic cannot cause substantial damage to them, and they must first find out their names before using divine magic. They are forced back into their own world.

The setting that Lude moved out is a common routine in many horror movies and novels on the other side of the earth, but for people in other worlds, this is a "new version of the ship" that they have never seen before. The key is that it sounds like a set, which feels very bluffing.

Even though there are real monsters and ghosts in this world, but in terms of scaring ability alone, horror film directors on the other side of the earth can beat them by ten blocks!

After listening to Lu De's narration, everyone's complexion was not very good, because according to what he said, monsters like evil spirits would not compete with them head-on, but would hide in the dark and play tricks to torture their will.The swords and magic they are proud of cannot cause any effective damage to them.

In this maze full of dangers, everyone has to be careful to deal with all kinds of traps and traps, and also beware of evil spirits. Just thinking about it makes people feel overwhelmed.

It feels like playing a game. I thought I was playing "God of War" and there would be hearty and refreshing battles, but when I went in and saw it was "Escape", all I had in my mind was "RNM, refund the money".

Celica pondered for a moment, then asked Lu De for advice.

"Master, are there any effective preventive measures?"

"As I said before, evil spirits feed on fear. Their attacks are divided into three stages. The first stage is to manifest and actively display their own existence, just like what the detective team encountered, but they are still very weak at this stage , can only scare people, and will not cause substantial harm. When their strength reaches a certain level, they will enter the second stage, which is harassment. During this period, they will become able to manipulate some objects, so the prank will be further upgraded , Their purpose is to torment the spirit of the target and destroy its will, but as long as we muster our courage and not be afraid, the power of evil spirits will be difficult to increase."

"That is to say, as long as we are not afraid, those evil spirits can't do anything to us, is that so?"

"Yes, in theory it does."

After explaining the situation a little bit, Celica thought for a while. The current situation is no longer suitable for scattered operations. It happened that one of the investigation teams said that although they were terrified by the evil spirits, they also accidentally discovered After walking the way to the BOSS room, everyone rested for a while and set off to the target location.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the team was somewhat depressing. Although the team members who went out to investigate before were taken care of by Celica with spiritual comfort, the magic can only eliminate the fear, but cannot erase the memory itself.

Therefore, everyone found embarrassingly that the more "kindly" Master Lude reminded them not to think wildly, the more they couldn't control themselves, replaying the "underworld scene" of their previous encounter with ghosts in their brains over and over again, and deepened their memory. !

As everyone was walking, a priestess in the middle of the line suddenly let out a piercing scream. Her howl made everyone present tremble.

Lude rushed to the priestess at the first time, and immediately sent a spiritual comfort to help him regain his composure, and then asked.

"Did you see something just now?"

"I, I just caught a glimpse of a figure over there... that's the female adventurer we rescued before, she... she was smiling at me, but that smiling face was so scary! She almost grinned... "

"Okay, okay! Don't say any more! Son, listen, it's all an illusion, an illusion created by evil spirits, just to scare you, it doesn't have the power to hurt you yet. Calm down, don't panic! "

Under the comfort of Lude's kind words, Priestess finally calmed down, but her panicked reaction just now actually caused a lot of shock to other teammates. The depths of the labyrinth continued to deepen, and gradually deepened quietly.

551、The Fierce Battle Begins

Because of the appearance of "evil spirits" and the environment in the maze that seems to be tailor-made for horror movies, everyone's mood became more and more depressed, and their spirits were always maintained in a state of high tension. They always felt that there was something in the dark around them. The ghost thing hid in the dark and stared at them.

Faced with this kind of opponent who doesn't confront you head-on, but hides in the dark and makes small moves to scare people, the Saintess and her party feel powerless and useless. Fortunately, there is a "expert" like Lu De Master, cheer up everyone along the way and remind everyone how to deal with the harassment of evil spirits.

However, the group of young people didn't realize at the moment that it was precisely because Lu De kept repeating in their ears "be careful of the sneak attacks of evil spirits" that everyone's spirits were completely tense, and their subconscious minds couldn't help but think wildly.

Fortunately, after the investigation team had an accident, Celica did not let her companions act separately like the protagonist in some horror movies, but gathered everyone together and walked together.Counting the adventurers who volunteered to join, the entire team now has more than 50 people, but they can encourage each other.

And everyone firmly believes that as long as the so-called evil spirits dare to show up again, the Holy Maiden will use the Holy Light to teach them to be human again!

Seeing that although everyone was getting nervous mentally, they were far from really falling into panic. Lu Dexin said that it was time to start the "second act" of this big drama. When everyone was forced to disperse, they could break through one by one.

Soon, the forward members of the team discovered that at the end of the passage was a hall completely covered by stagnant water. The water depth was only about 28 centimeters, just below the feet.On the ceiling of the hall, there are a total of [-] bright chandeliers in two circles inside and outside, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

And in the center of the room, a golden harp suspended in mid-air is particularly eye-catching.

Several pioneers wanted to enter the hall to investigate, but at this moment Lude hurried forward to hold them back, then pointed to the giant sculptures on the circular walls around the hall and said.

"Be careful! This should be the bottom of the second floor of the maze. Have you seen the four stone statues on the wall? They are exactly the same as the golems you saw on the first floor. Other teams have been here before. Among them The survivors have said that there are four golems at the bottom of the second floor, and they will launch coordinated attacks with each other, so don't rush in."

Under Lude's reminder, the few people who originally wanted to step into the room hurried back and stopped outside the door to wait and see.Lude, on the other hand, was carrying a lantern, pretending to study several murals in the corridor.

At this time, Celica came to Lude and asked.

"Master, have you found anything?"

"I'm looking at these murals, it should be some kind of reminder."

"It's strange, does that demon still give hints?"

"Hehe! It's not out of good intentions for Heid Taka to give the hint. His main purpose is not to kill us, but to play us to death. It is enjoying the process of making us suffer, so naturally it doesn't want the game to end early."

"What a twisted and evil idea."

"How else can I say it's a devil!"

Lude shrugged, pointed to the pattern on the mural, and told Celica his "inference". Combined with the information he had about the second floor, Lude felt that the trap in the closed room should be related to music.

Prior to this, other adventurer teams with strong strength and luck had successfully reached the bottom of the second floor of the maze.These adventurers who have personally experienced the boss battle said that at the bottom of the second floor, in addition to four dog brothers coming up to fight in groups, they also have to be careful of the "killing fountain" on the ground. The power of those high-pressure water jets is quite amazing. If you are a little careless, you will be beaten between the buttocks, and the scorpion will directly dry and bloom for you!

Lude, who has seen the murals, said that these murderous fountains should be rhythmic.Adventurers who have challenged the bottom of the second level have mentioned a detail that is easily overlooked, that is, the room at the end of the second level is the same as the first level, with its own BGM.

Lude felt that it was best to send a small team in to test it out first, to observe the fighting style of the "Boss" before going on the main force.

So according to Lude's suggestion, Celica selected the five most agile teammates from the team to form an assault team, and entered the hall first to start a group to test the boss.

The rest of the people temporarily retreated to the room at the other end of the corridor to stand by, because according to the previous adventurers who failed the challenge, even if they withdrew from the battle, the F4 on the second floor would follow them for a while until they ran out. It will retreat after a certain distance.

Among the five members of the assault team, Hume also signed up.The saintess' teammates only knew that this black-skinned elf was one of the only "religion fighters" in the Pantheon. It was said that he had been a mercenary for a while before, but his rank was only silver, which belonged to the middle level.

This made some people look down on Hume as soon as they saw her, thinking that she just looked at the door, and her strength was absolutely incomparable with real elites like them.Seeing that she volunteered to join the assault team, someone couldn't help ridiculing her for being self-defeating.

As a result, in the next second, Hume "disappeared" on the spot out of thin air, flashed directly behind the young man with a mouth, and pressed a dagger with a scabbard on the guy's chin.

The son was stunned for three seconds before he could barely realize what had happened, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead.

With only a small show of his hand, Hume managed to calm down everyone in the audience, including Celica. This ghostly lightning-fast movement alone was enough to make this female elf one of the first-class masters.

Everyone couldn't help muttering to themselves, this Pantheon, which doesn't seem to have many people, is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!Then he subconsciously looked at Aina and Shanisi who were traveling together, wondering what kind of unique skills these two beautiful girls had yet to show.

After everything was ready, the assault team entered the hall, and at the entrance of the hall, Lude, Celica, and Li Wei cautiously stayed outside the line. They were responsible for observing the battle in the hall, and Lude was still holding a camera in his hand.

After the assault team entered the hall, the ripples produced by stepping on the water quickly spread to the center of the room, and this seemed to be an activation signal. The harp, which was originally suspended quietly in mid-air, suddenly flashed for a moment, and then played music by itself , as Ludd "guessed" before, awakened the sculpture on the circular wall of the hall.

However, what is a little contrary is that the music played by the antique-looking harp is the passionate "Western Region style".

And this BGM is a melody that has been incorporated into the DNA of Lu De, who is a time traveler. Therefore, as soon as the prelude started, his brother with a thick voice began to sing in his mind.

"Auntie press..."
