The Midnight Owl

The deer head was gone, the door panel was completely knocked off, the messy floor was even messier than before, and the dust from the furniture attack had not yet settled.

Nothing is repeated.

But the person in front of him came back.

Blonde hair, cloak, deep facial features as carved and chiseled, and an elegance that is permeated with a hint of beating - the real thing is the one pierced by antlers.

The weird reunion made the five partners stand on end.

"You...don't remember us?" Xu Wang asked tentatively.

The blond man tilted his head, his face was inexplicable: "Do we know each other?"

The five partners fell silent.

Along with the silence, there is also vigilance - if there is a vision, it must be ominous.

After a brief pause, Xu Wang put on a gesture of meeting for the first time, and continued to ask the blond man, "What are you doing here?"

The blond man relaxed, obviously this question was in his comfort zone: "Adventure. Aren't you?"

Xu Wang blinked with an innocent look on his face.

"You don't even know this is a haunted house, do you?" The blond man immediately popularized science online, "There used to be a family of three living here, a couple with a son who is in middle school..."

The background story that has been heard once, makes people rewind and replay it, popularizing science for the second time.

The five partners stood there silently, suddenly wanting to press the Enter key to quickly skip such NPC dialogues.

"...It has been abandoned until now." The blond man finished speaking in one breath, with a sense of responsibility to complete the mission.

The five partners looked at each other, ten eyes intertwined silently.

Chi Yingxue - suspicious.

Wu Sheng - very suspicious.

Kuang Jinxin - particularly suspicious.

Xu Wang—absolutely suspicious.

Qian Ai - so what are you waiting for?up!

Just as the five partners finished unifying their tactical goals, the blond man suddenly flew into the air and slammed into the wall!

The process was exactly the same as the previous death, but the result was very different - the deer had disappeared, and the wall with a big hole just hurt his back.

Doubts flashed through Wu Sheng's mind, but before he could think about it, the man on the ground got up quickly, his figure flashed, his cloak was raised in the wind of confusion, and he was already moving towards the door very quickly!

Wu Sheng's heart trembled: "Old Qian!"

Qian Ai was the closest to the door, and at this moment, he understood it. With one step, he used his stalwart body to block the door without the door panel, and poked the <[武] Brave's Shovel> on the ground: "I'm blocking the door. Don't worry, if you dare to come over, Shovel him to death!"

Under the illumination of the small lanterns, the shovel has a magical beauty of power.

The blond man didn't stop moving, but his speed slowed down for a moment, and at this moment of slowing down, his cloak suddenly flew up again.

"Hula-"

Amid the sound of the cloak cutting through the air, Qian Ai's body flew into the air uncontrollably, and with a "boom", his head hit the ceiling firmly.

Qian Ai's head buzzed, but before he could recover from the mess, his body fell rapidly again, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground, his legs almost went numb.

The four partners were startled, and Qian Ai was also confused.

The reminder of being late finally sounded in the ears——

【Owl: Someone used <[武] up and down> on you~~】

Qian Ai was stunned.Seven up...eight down?

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

"Damn! He can use stationery—" Qian Ai finally recovered from jumping up and down, and hurriedly reminded his teammates.

The NPCs in the Moonlight Maze on 4/23 also used stationery, but this situation is relatively rare in the later levels, and they are not consciously careless.

As Qian Ai bounced again, the door became empty.

The blond man squinted his eyes, and rushed towards the door like a sprint. His speed was so fast that when he reached the door, Qian Ai still hadn't left.

But at this moment, he stopped and couldn't take another half step forward. When he turned his head, his cloak was severely pulled.

Chi Yingxue rolled the tug-of-war fabric around her hand, pulled it tighter and tighter, and tilted her head to look at the blond man with a touch of confidence and a touch of provocation.

Here, Qian Ai counted the number of "bangs" and "booms" he had made, and he was already up and down. This time, when he fell, the stationery would be invalid, and he could fight back and forth with Chi Yingxue...

【Owl: Someone used <[Magic] Hell Cycle> on you~~】

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

In the new round of bouncing, Qian Ai missed "Happy Trampoline" very much.

Although they are all jumping up and down, but the trampoline has no ceiling and no floor tiles, no matter how you jump, it will not hurt, and it is childlike!

"Xiaoxue, squat down—"

Xu Wang suddenly called out.

Chi Yingxue instinctively followed suit, but the cloak in her hand was still not loose.

As soon as he lowered his figure, a silver bullet was fired.

The blond man quickly dodged to the side, the bullet grazed his shoulder, the dress and flesh were torn apart, leaving a burnt scar.

The blond man looked towards Xu, his eyes suddenly sank.

Suddenly there was a strange vibration outside the window.

The next moment, black bats overwhelming the sky broke through the window and attacked Xu Wang!

Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin immediately went to support.

The blond man withdrew his gaze, looked at Chi Yingxue who stood up again, and said in a frosty voice: "I hate being grabbed by the cloak the most."

Chi Yingxue raised the corners of her mouth, and her brows were stained with sincere happiness: "I like to do things that others hate."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and his cross had already been shot!

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was muffled and short.

Chi Yingxue stabbed to the end, leaving no room for his opponent.

But before he tasted the joy of victory, the blond man pierced under the cross suddenly turned into a wooden dummy.It still has blond hair and a black cloak, but the eyebrows and eyes are carved out, and the limbs and torso are connected by some kind of iron swivel.

The real blond man got away easily.

【Owl: Someone used <[Magic] Li Daitao Zombie> on you~~】

The reminder in the ear made Chi Yingxue understand the reason.

No time to be upset, he pulled out the cross vigorously, but the root of the cross sank into the dummy's heart, like a wedge firmly nailed into the wood, and he couldn't pull it out.

Just when he was about to try for the second time, he heard a stiff sound of "click, click".

The dummy, raised its arms.

The arm was raised stiffly, but the blow came at an extremely fast speed. Chi Yingxue tilted his head, and the swipe missed the door, and landed heavily on his arm that was still holding the cross.

The pain caused Chi Yingxue's eyebrows and nose to wrinkle together.

This room of Chi Yingxue and the wooden stand-in wrestled together, while the blond man's cloak flew up, and then flew towards the window just opened by the bat.

He flies gracefully, with a certain victorious composure.

The window was close in front of him, and he could already feel the night wind blowing on his face...

"Crack!"

A net made of pink silk threads formed a hollow "window". The elegant blond man, like the bat he summoned, snapped and stuck to the net.

【Owl: Someone used <[武] Love's Spider Web> on you~~】

The blond man stuck to the spider's web in a big shape. He turned his head and saw that the two people who went to support him were still fighting with the bats, but the man the bats were really going to attack crawled out of the melee and was walking towards him. .

"Do you like it?" Xu Wang gestured towards the stubborn blond man as he walked towards the window, "Be careful."

The blond man didn't know how to be blessed to his heart. Hearing this, he immediately looked down at the pink spider web sticking to him, and quickly recognized that every hole in the web was in the shape of a "heart".

"Your taste is too bad..." The blond man looked disgusted, and flaunted the unglued cloak behind him.

"Whoa-"

Wu Sheng was in the bat swarm, but still caught the voice, and immediately reacted: "He wants to use stationery!"

When Xu Wang received the reminder, the reminder in his ear had already arrived——

【Owl: Someone used <[Anti] Powerful Sticky Mouse Board> on you~~】

As soon as Xu Wang took out the cross, a huge sticky mouse board appeared under his feet, which directly stopped his pace.

Xu Wang was only one step away from the window, he was unwilling to take off his shoes immediately, but he couldn't take them off, the sticky mouse board seemed to stick to his shoes, socks and the soles of his feet!

"Gah-"

Suddenly a black crow flew out of the window and pecked straight at the spider web. After pecking twice, several web threads were broken by it.

Xu Wang couldn't see well, and wanted to use stationery again, but just as he raised his arm, a shadow brushed past him. He rushed so fast that Xu Wang couldn't see who it was, but could only feel the gust of wind he brought.

When his eyes finally settled down, the little friend who rushed over had already firmly grabbed the blond man's cloak.

It wasn't Chi Yingxue, it was Kuang Jinxin, but that posture, that momentum, seemed to be the original scene of Chi Yingxue's move just now!

"I said that I hate people the most - pulling my cloak." The blond man had already gritted his teeth, and he had already lost his fake blood-sucking teeth in the fierce battle just now, but now, Xu Wang could clearly see that he was slowly giving birth Really canine.

Kuang Jinxin clutched his cloak tightly, his fighting spirit was no weaker than Chi Yingxue's, but when he opened his mouth, he was still Kuang's style of painting, without any sarcasm or provocation, all serious and peaceful communication, real and sincere suggestions : "If you really don't like other people doing it, wear a tight cloak next time."

Blonde man: "..."

Xu Wang: "..."

This very creative suggestion caused everyone present and a vampire to fall into the "imagination difficulty syndrome".

"Plop la la-"

Wu Sheng over there used some stationery, and the besieging bats suddenly dispersed and fled in all directions.

The scurrying bats made the whole living room's vision confused for a moment.

Wu Sheng took advantage of the chaos and rushed over: "Xiao Kuang, Xu Wang—"

This roar made the blond man, who had been disturbed by the bat, even more confused, and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.

Kuang Jinxin took the opportunity to pull hard, and directly pulled the opponent from the window to the ground.

Xu Wang had already handed out the cross to Wu Sheng who was running - the army division's cross was still stuck in the ghost doll's heart.

Wu Sheng's speed did not slow down, he took the cross and stabbed the heart of the blond man on the ground!

With Kuang Jinxin's restraint on one side and Wu Sheng's attack on the other, the blond man was unable to avoid it, and he didn't even have a chance to use his cloak and stationery. Finally, his eyes turned red and he said eagerly: "Save! I'll save it for you— —”

The tip of Wu Sheng's cross had already touched the fabric of the dress, and within an inch, it pierced in.

Fortunately, one party shouted early enough, and the other party stopped in time.

"What did you say?" Wu Sheng pressed his elbow on the man's chest to confirm again.

"I said archive, can't I save it for you..." The blond man curled his lips, his canine teeth looked pitiful, "I just came here to explore, why do you have to kill me, vampires can't explore the haunted house ……"

The more the blond man spoke, the more sad he became, and he shed a blood tear.

Wu Sheng holding the cross: "..."

Kuang Jinxin, who was pulling the cloak: "..."

Xu Wang on the sticky mouse board: "..."

Chi Yingxue wrestling with the wooden man: "..."

Qian Ai from Hell Cycle: "..."

……

"Preserve the current situation, continue the relationship that has been formed, and ride through the thorns and dangers. May the road ahead be safe."

"Ding--"

Xu Wang <Stationery Box>: Obtained <[Magic] Back in Time>

Wu Sheng <Stationery Box>: Obtained <[Magic] Nothing to hide>

Qian Ai <Stationery Box>: Obtained <[武] Nothing at all>

Kuang Jinxin <Stationery Box>: Obtained <[Anti] Pumpkin Carriage>

Chi Yingxue <Stationery Box>: Get <[Magic] Who Am I>

"Ding--"

<cheat sheet>: Saved successfully.

The blond man disappeared leisurely in the pale golden light rain, and after a long time, the sound of his cloak could still be heard in the night wind.

The five partners stood in the living room, looking at the mess, with complicated emotions.

"So, he's just a save NPC?" Qian Ai blew on the back of his flushed hands. If it wasn't for these hands protecting him, his head would already be pounding.

Xu Wang put away the cross: "It should be."

"He appeared repeatedly to remind us to save files?" Kuang Jinxin understood a little bit, but didn't fully understand, "But the first time he died soon?"

Wu Sheng: "If Xiaoxue hadn't taken away the deer head, he would have died very quickly the second time."

Chi Yingxue was quiet and indifferent, and only nodded her head lightly when the military adviser mentioned her name, as if to say "yes, it's my credit".

Xu Wangwu went out and said: "Although the save NPC appears repeatedly, the save time for each passerby is very short. If you can't take action within the first few minutes, the NPC will be killed by that invisible force. "

Wu Sheng nodded.

"But we have also been attacked by that force, what is it..." Xu Wang frowned, looking around at the crumbling furniture in the living room, feeling a chill in his heart.

Wu Sheng knew that his captain already had the answer in his heart.

"It's the ghost in this room."

……

5 minutes later.

Standing in the middle of the living room, Wu Sheng asked his partner, "Are you ready?"

The four partners nodded: "Yes."

Wu Sheng took a deep breath, and clicked the archive reward he just got——<[Magic] Nowhere to Hide>.

What kind of ghost lives in this house, it will be revealed soon...

The golden light of the phantom opens in a flash, and then disappears in a flash, taking away with it the original hazy colored light.

The living room was completely dark, like a movie theater with a sudden power outage.

The five partners held their breath, waiting for the evil spirit to appear.

Suddenly, a gleam of light lit up in the darkness.

The light is very small and weak, and if you don't pay attention, it will be ignored.

But soon, two, three, four...

In just ten seconds, countless shimmering particles emerged in the darkness, from top to bottom, from left to right, everywhere, filling the entire house, like dust reflecting light in the universe.

The five partners stood in the light particles all over the sky, shuddering.

This is the ghost they want to catch.

They thought that suffering could not be found, but in fact, the other party was everywhere.
