Urban Odds: Cry Game

The city that never sleeps, the cellar of the manor——

Time passed in silence.The three elders closed their eyes and the old monk fell into meditation; Xue Xiao put his hands on his chest and fell into meditation; Aix, who didn't talk much at first, also closed his eyes to rest his mind, fell into meditation.

Zhou Yang walked up and down alone, at first the third elder scolded a few words, but later he didn't bother to talk to him.Zhou Yang was so bored that he sat, walked, sat, and went back and forth countless times, and deliberately rattled his chains and ankles.He originally wanted to use the words of the third elder to learn about the situation of the blood race, but despite Zhou Yang's soft words, the third elder remained as silent as a mountain.

As for Xue Xiao and Aix... don't expect them to take the initiative to chat about anything.

"Ah! So boring!!!" Zhou Yang sat down next to Aix, hung his head on his neck, and rolled shamelessly, "Aix! Aix !"

The third elder couldn't help scolding: "It's so noisy!"

"Don't make trouble." Aix patted Zhou Yang on the head.

Zhou Yang was so suffocated that he buried his head in Aix's neck and arched back and forth. When he raised his face, he found that Aix's ears were red. Zhou Yang teased Aix's earlobe, but he turned his head away.

"Zhou Yang!" Aix shouted.

Zhou Yang rested his chin on his shoulder and said lazily, "Hey!"

Alex: "..."

The third elder couldn't stand it any longer: "I said what Zhou is called, can't you stop for a while and let the Holy Son rest?"

Zhou Yang stopped talking, and his chin was still resting on Aix's shoulder, so that when Aix turned his face away, he accidentally rubbed the stinky rascal's lips.

Just like that, the pure blood holy son was gnawed, and the third elder slapped his thigh... Continue the old monk's meditation, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhou Yang seemed to have discovered a new continent, staring brightly at Aix's gradually flushed face.Aix didn't say anything, and raised his hand to ruffle Zhou Yang's hair.

Zhou Yang lay his pillow on Aix's neck and fell asleep unconsciously.In a daze, he felt that someone was smoothing his messy hair, and then the warm hand gently wiped the corner of his drooling mouth...

While they were hiding in the cellar, no one came to the manor, and no one contacted the communicator.When the third elder woke up, he would always pat his own thigh while thinking about things.

Xue Xiao goes out to patrol regularly, and occasionally brings back some information—the city that never sleeps is calm, people should do what they should do, and the flower street prepared to welcome the Son is still under construction. Feelingly waiting for the good news from the elders.

One day, Zhou Yang was sounded like an alarm bell in his sleep. At that moment, he was still dazedly raising his hand to fish for the alarm clock beside the bed.

Not only the alarm clock, but the cell phone will also ring after a while, and the lazy alarm will ring every 5 minutes. Usually, Zhou Yang will struggle to get up when he is about to be late.

Zhou Yang lay his pillow on Aix's neck, wondering whether he should fish the phone to the pillow in advance.

By the way, what day is today?

The alarm clock of the mobile phone seems to be set to ring "every day", right?

Well, hurry up and take a look...Maybe this weekend, I can sleep in for a long time!

"Zhou Yang! Zhou Yang!"

Huh... I seem to have heard my mother's voice?

"Zhou Yang! Zhou Yang!"

Is it a phone?Mother is calling?

Where's the phone?where is my phone...

The third elder looked at Zhou Yang speechlessly: "...What is he doing? Paddle?"

Ax raised his hand to hold Zhou Yang's paw, shaking his shoulders: "Hey!"

"Hmm... where's the phone? That's weird..." Zhou Yang grabbed Aix's hand and held it to his ear, "...Hello? Mom?"

Ax curled up his finger and flicked Zhou Yang's ear. Zhou Yang was jolted and woke up completely.

The third elder opened the small device in his hand, and the alarm that Zhou Yang heard in his dream rang again, and it turned out to be the sound of the small device.The third elder confirmed repeatedly, and finally raised his head and said: "It's almost time, we should set off!"

Zhou Yang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and cheered... But he found that he couldn't move!

Zhou Yang recalled the last experience - he was carried by Aix, he was conscious, but he couldn't control his body, as if this body no longer belonged to him.

Aix helped Zhou Yang up: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yang's face turned pale: "I... I can't seem to move!"

Xue Xiao stepped forward and knocked Zhou Yang on the back with a knife. Zhou Yang jumped three feet high like an electric shock.

"After sleeping for a long time, the muscles on my body are just paralyzed." Xue Xiao said, "How about I help you loosen your muscles and bones?"

Zhou Yang sat on the ground covering his waist: "Hey don't don't!"

Aix carried the grinning Zhou Yang on his back, and said to the third elder, "Let's go."

The small cellar seems airtight, but there are actually organs everywhere.The third elder activated the mechanism, and one wall of the small cellar receded, revealing a secret passage.There is no light in the secret passage, and you can't see your fingers when the secret door is closed.The three elders lighted up the small device and walked ahead to lead the way.At first, several people could advance together in the secret passage, but gradually it became narrower and narrower. When the third secret door was opened, only one person could pass through the passage.

Zhou Yang got off Aix's back, Xue Xiao said: "Zhou Yang, you walk behind me."

"Huh?! I'm the last one???" Zhou Yang cast a questioning look at Aix.

Aix nodded, Zhou Yang changed places with Xue Xiao, and walked at the end of the team.

In the secret passage, four men advanced silently. Zhou Yang walked at the end of the line. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was someone behind him—except for the four of them, there was something extra.

After Zhou Yang walked a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, the dark passage was bottomless.The half-monster Blood Owl walked in front of him, and the two pairs of folded wings emitted a silvery glow like a shield made of steel.

Zhou Yang secretly grabbed the tip of the wing, Xue Xiao's injury hadn't healed yet, and Zhou Yang pulled off one of the newly grown feathers.

Xue Xiao turned around speechlessly.

Holding the feather, Zhou Yang lacked confidence: "Cough, I'm sorry..."

The feather was like a small dagger, hard and sharp. Zhou Yang waved it in his hand. Hearing the faint sound of piercing through the air, Zhou Yang felt courageous again.

When Zhou Yang was suspicious, Xue Xiao was also secretly observing his surroundings.

He felt that there was one more person among them.

No... It should be something extra, not necessarily a person!

The feeling of being spied on is still there, but the thing deliberately hides its breath, and the blood owl only has a vague feeling, unable to determine the location of the other party.

If the opponent launches an attack from the rear, he will also protect the Son in front in time.

If the opponent is attacking from the front, then things will be even easier - he can immediately determine the opponent's position and fight back!

The dark and long passage came to an end, but the sneak attack that the blood lord was waiting for did not happen.

This situation made Xue Xiao feel puzzled, and the blood owl in half-demon form clearly expressed his own advantages—wings, flying!

In the vast field, almost no one is his opponent!

To kill him, he can only be in a narrow space where his wings cannot be stretched-when his movement is restricted, it is the best time to kill him!

However, the murderous aura he sensed in the small cellar did not attack him.

Entered the secret passage—a narrower, easier-to-kill area, and saw no one attacking, not even a sneak attack or a trap.

Xue Xiao still doesn't know where the murderous aura came from, and he even wonders if it's an illusion caused by his being too sensitive.

The little puppet in Zhou Yang's trouser pocket was quiet, with its small mouth tightly pursed, it didn't move, and it didn't steal eyes from anyone.When it is quiet, it is a dirty little toy, lifeless, with twisted hands and feet curled up into a ball.Zhou Yang sneaked in and touched it, and then touched the bottom of the trouser pocket. The trouser pocket was intact and there was no hole in it.

Zhou Yang felt relieved and withdrew his hand.

The little puppet remained motionless.

It's camouflaging, it's enduring... It's waiting for the best time, it's a one-hit kill!

The end of the passage is not in the black tower as Zhou Yang thought.

In fact, the exit of the passage is very far from the Black Tower, and also very far from the city that never sleeps - the exit is in the desolate outskirts where the birds don't shit!

Both Zhou Yang and Aix looked at the third elder in the wrong way.

Blood owl was obviously a little emotional, but he didn't show it, silently looking at the distant city that never sleeps.

"Hey! The escape route! Of course it is used for escape!" The third elder was confident, "How could it be opened in the city! You are thinking too much!...Come on, keep up!"

"How are you going to bring us in?" Zhou Yang couldn't help shaking his bracelet, "Walking in through the city gate?!"

"Oh! How is that possible!" The third elder got into the bushes, "Just follow me!"

The third elder led them into the forest, walked the cliffs, and finally got into a cave. The forked roads in the cave lead in all directions. The third elder adjusted the orientation of the small device, turned left and right, and was very familiar with the cave.Zhou Yang wondered, "You also dug this hole?"

"How is that possible!" The third elder's voice buzzed in the cave, "This is a natural formation, but after artificial transformation, it can lead to the underground waterway of the city that never sleeps... This entire passage is one of the escape routes for the city that never sleeps. There are about a thousand other routes, which spread out from the city center and lead to different directions!"

Zhou Yang joked: "Heh, it sounds like...you guys seem to be ready to run away at any moment?"

These words hit my heart, and the third elder said melancholy: "Isn't it!...The blood clan has formed its own country, and it seems to cooperate with the demon clan, but in fact...hehe! You all know that the demon clan is full of tricks , insidious and cunning, they seem to cooperate harmoniously with the blood race, but in fact they have never had any sincerity. The relationship between the blood race and other races is not good, and the only allies they can rely on are the demons, but if the empire comes to the door, I guess the blood race will only If you can rely on yourself, no one can count on you.”

Xue Xiao knew a little about the situation, nodded and said: "The blood race is not easy."

The third elder was indignant: "The people of the empire kept expelling us, and we kept fleeing and hiding... At that time, most of my family was killed and injured, but Dracula was missing at this critical moment... If it wasn't for the arrival of Lilith, If you lead us to rebuild our homeland, maybe you will never see the city that never sleeps today!"

The vampires are oppressed and their lives are not glorious.The city that never sleeps is their last home, but Lilith's situation is worrying - during these days, she no longer issued oracles, but hid quietly in the depths of the black tower, no one could approach her, and no one Know her current situation.

"Holy Son, you are our only hope." The third elder said sincerely, "Our blood race... really needs you very much!"

"You don't need me, but you need someone who can lead you." Aix looked indifferent, but secretly clenched his fists.

Zhou Yang knew that Aix was a little shaken, and quickly echoed: "You elders elect a leader, wouldn't it be fine?"

"Oh, your thinking is too simple." The third elder shook his head, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I suspect that the rest of the elders are secretly cooperating with the demons, and they are engaged in some shady business... Several times I felt that they To kill me, I don't think I can be with them anymore."

"So you pretended to be sick and stayed off work?"

The dark road ahead is impossible to see at a glance. The small device in the third elder's hand is the only light that breaks through the darkness. He squeezes it tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "There is no way to keep pretending... Go to Lilith and see if she can give some hints on what to do!"

At the end of the cave is a downward staircase. The underground river flows continuously. Walking along the river, you will come to the underground waterway of the city that never sleeps.

Different from the cave, there are many small lighting lamps placed in the underground waterway. When Zhou Yang walked closer, he found that it was not a lamp, but a small glowing plant.

"Small boats are prepared on this river, and there is a pier at a certain distance." The third elder said, "In order to ensure the survival of the race, our escape route is not fixed. will be together again."

The third elder led them around a corner and up a staircase. The staircase did not go all the way to the end, and there was a fork.The underground waterway in the city that never sleeps is intricate. When Lilith led the blood clan, the underground waterway was expanded to three floors, and each floor had an escape exit.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to the end of the stairs.

"Here we are." The third elder pushed open the secret door on the top and climbed out first.

What came into view was a small narrow room with shackles and instruments of torture. The air was filled with lingering blood, and the faint candlelight on the wall was flickering.

Perhaps thinking of the days in prison, Aix shuddered.

"This is the lowest floor of the Black Tower. It was used to hold prisoners. It was abandoned after a plague." The third elder opened the iron door and led them out of the small room.

Today is the soldier on duty, and it is the jailer who is in charge of the prison who is called.The prison in the Black Tower is useless, usually there are only two guards guarding it, but now those two are on duty in the Black Tower, and the three elders lead them in and out like no one else.I thought I could go up to the black tower smoothly, but unexpectedly when I reached the fork, I was stopped by a person.

It's the caretaker of the database—the ghost old man!
