I Was Once a Legend

286 Midnight Hunting

The chairman of Heimdall, Heinrich, is Swiss, and the West especially taboos on these things, so in Heimdall, no matter the number of stairs or the number of members or props, the number 13 will not appear, but at this moment, The stairs stepped on by Cui Zuojing suddenly became 13 steps.

13, The sixth prime number, the 11th deficit number, the 8th unusual number, the 7th Fibonacci number... Mathematically this number has been given many meanings, but all are not comparable to those legends- —In the last supper, the 13th participant, Judah, betrayed Jesus for 30 silver dollars; and at the banquet in Nordic mythology, the 13th visitor, Rocky, rushed in, inviting the love of the gods, Baldel, to die.

"I noticed." Dong Zheng grabbed Cui Zuojing's hand in his backhand, and the teenager clearly felt that the palm of the man was also full of sweat.When he was still in school, both Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing had heard of such campus strange talk: According to legend, there is something unclean in a school. The eyes of the portrait of Lu Xun at the school gate move every fifteen nights every month. All teaching buildings will be powered off, the stairs will change from 12 to 13, the water discharged from the laboratory faucet will turn red, and the bathroom at the end of the corridor on the first floor will never come out once it is in.

Cui Zuojing, who had just entered junior high school, was frightened by this story. His home was in the north, and it was so dark every winter afternoon after school, that every time he walked out of school, he walked fast.And now, he has experienced the creepy feeling for a long time.

What advice?As soon as the fear came out, he was hit back by the teenager with a hammer: You are Cui Zuojing!do not be afraid!Must not be more timid than Dong Zheng!More like a man than him!

Cui Zuojing immediately strode side by side with Dong Zheng and whispered firmly: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Dong Zheng looked at the safety exit sign at the root of the wall, and felt that the bell on his chest seemed to be heating up again. He took a deep breath and replied in the communication link: "I'm fine."

The two continued to walk upwards, with lanterns in hand, and they did not meet other ghosts for the time being, it was not clear how long this state could be maintained-the two clearly felt that in the dark corners where the light was not exposed, countless pairs Eyes are watching them quietly.

They walked to the second floor and turned to the other side of the stairs. On the window sill at the junction of the second and third floors, a cat was squatting.

Behind it, the bloody moon has been broken into pieces, trapped by the window frame, and cast a dark red silhouette around the tabby body.The tabby cat squatted gracefully, with its tail forming a circle behind it, and so quietly looked at the two people walking from below. The pupils in the amber eyes were very round.

"Midnight?" Cui Zuojing asked lowly.

The cat didn't answer. It stood up, its tail swayed gently, and then the figure faded away, gradually disappearing into place.

Only the amber-like eyes stayed there, like the smiles of the Cheshire Cat in Alice's Wonderland.

"Is it it?" Dong Zheng asked.

Cui Zuojing shook his head. It was not midnight, but obviously it was not an ordinary cat.

"Let's go, get the magic weapon first." The uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. On the way to Heimdall, they rarely heard the voices of other cleansed people, since they are pilgrims who can reach the top of the giant tree. Almost all deaths occurred in the box, and there should not be many people with insufficient points.

Seen this way, midnight should be busy with other things already.

Dong Zheng nodded and continued upward, the light of the lantern was blocked by his body.At this moment, a puppet suddenly fell from the ceiling and hit Cui Zuojing.

The puppet's head knocked on the steps, and it was torn apart instantly. Cui Zuojing subconsciously stepped behind him and leaned away from the unknown that almost fell on his face, which made him completely enveloped by Dong Zheng. In the shadow.

In this square inch place where the light of the lantern cannot be illuminated, suddenly countless black hands stretched out of Dong Zheng’s shadow, grabbed Cui Zuojing’s arms, legs and feet, and covered his mouth and nose, as if the black cocoon almost wrapped the teenager among them!

Cui Zuojing didn't have time to speak, the solid ground under his feet suddenly emptied, and he was dragged into the shadow of Dong Zheng by the black hands.

But the communication connection was still there. At the last second when the spot disappeared, the bell trembled violently. At the same time, Dong Zheng heard the cries from Cui Zuojing clearly. At the moment of the crisis, the teenager shouted not any distressing words, but a sentence. Full-bodied "lying trough!"

He turned around immediately and saw only two black hands that quickly retracted into his shadow. The hands were extremely slender and slender, and they were not the proportion that humans would have.

The communication connection was forced to be interrupted, and Dong Zheng was unaware of the existence of Cui Zuojing's core, which meant that the teenager had disappeared near him.

Was Azuo swallowed into his shadow?!

Dong Zheng had never seen such an operation. He crouched down and touched the shadow he projected on the ground. His palm touched the roughness of the ground, and he did not perceive other abnormalities at all.

Dong Zheng stood up, his lips tightened, and he almost understood why.

As long as it is out of the reach of the lantern, it is absolutely dangerous.

The teenager next to him disappeared without a trace for a moment. After a brief panic at the beginning, Dong Zheng calmed down quickly. In this case, his thoughts were also very clear. Cui Zuojing was swallowed into him. I still don’t know how to find him. The safest move is to find the magic weapon first.

The two have been separated. At midnight, in order to deal with himself, they must do something to hinder the lantern function. Unlike Cui Zuojing, he has no experience in fighting midnight. If he cannot get the magic weapon before midnight, he will only have a dead end.

Dong Zheng quickly rushed to the third floor and ran to the props showroom. Under the absolutely rational decision-making control of the kernel, he followed the perfect strategy for every move, but the emotional thinking in his heart was never suppressed, and strong concerns made him Breathing and heartbeat are messed up.

Is the situation on the left side good?

In a place invisible behind him, a Siamese cat jumped lightly onto the handrail of the stairs. The footsteps of the man echoed so clearly in the silent corridor. The blue eyes of Siamese squinted slightly, and the whiskers on the cheeks twitched slightly. .

It followed, and the tip of the tail traversed an elegant arc in the air.

The eyes were engulfed by darkness, as if the whole person was covered with viscous liquid, and the eyes, ears, nose and nose were all blocked tightly, making Cui Zuojing completely lose his perception of the outside world.

The biting chill enters the body from every corner, engulfing skin, blood and bones.

Cui Zuojing struggled to curl his right arm, his wrist touched his chest, and the three seals engraved on the inside of his wrist lit up in an instant.The time force of the first seal and the temporary space force in the two or three seals exploded, breaking the shackles of ghosts in an instant.

Under the element's original power, the black shadow is like a slug sprinkled with a lot of salt, and it quickly loses water and melts.Cui Zuojing fell to the ground, he coughed a few times while covering his chest, and turned to sit on the ground.

The outbreak just left all the ghosts gone. The power of time and space is powerful, but it can only be used once in a short time, because they are not supposed to be used that way.

Cui Zuojing looked around, he was still there, but Dong Zheng was missing.

He should have been drawn into Dong Zheng's shadow just now. Now this place...is it a different space?

Cui Zuojing looked at the palm of his hand, and the moral space power was still with him, maybe he could use this to get out.

The teenager stood up, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pressed his left hand gently against the second and third seals.

The door of the prop display room also failed to cause any obstruction for Dong Zheng. Dong Zheng went straight to the area where the magic weapon was located. He remembered all the props in Heimdall very clearly. There is one thing that is very suitable for him now.

Dong Zheng stopped in front of the compartment where a porcelain bottle was placed. The small white bottle was closed in a transparent cover and the label said "Guangming Shengshui".

Even as a member of the organization, the loan also needs to be credited as a mortgage, but Dong Zheng is really penniless, so he directly puts all the rules and regulations behind him, the kernel invades, and the cover opens automatically after a few seconds.

Dong Zheng has carefully studied the security system of Heimdall in private, and now the whole organization is in his eyes, just as it is wiped out, without defense.

He reached out and took out the vial, pulled out the cork, dipped the arrows of the crossbow arrows one by one, and soaked all the eight arrows he carried with him. Dong Zheng put the vial into his pocket, and he finally felt confident.

Now he finally has the ability to fight back.

As for the problem of stealing the magic weapon... Dong Zheng re-covered the cover and turned back to Heinrich to say that there should be no problem.

He picked up the lantern that was set aside and was about to return to Cui Zuojing. He suddenly saw the shadow of the cat on the wall.

Dong Zheng acted and whispered: "Midnight?"

The Siamese cat walked out from behind the shelf. Its steps were elegant and light. It squatted ten meters away from Dong Zheng. His blue eyes stared at the man. Meow: "Well, it was me. I didn't expect to meet at this time for the first time. "

"I didn't expect it," Dong Zheng said with an arrow in one hand and a hand lamp.

"Don't be so nervous," laughed at midnight. "I actually saw you a long time ago, but you haven't paid attention, do you remember? In the box of the Doll's House, you were once kept in prison, It was raining outside, and the little black goat went out alone for a while."

Of course Dong Zheng remembers, because on that day, when the teenager came back wet and froze and squeezed beside him trying to keep warm, he was squeezed in the corner by Cui Zuojing, holding each other tightly, his arms touching To the moment around the teenager's waist, I felt an unexpected heartbeat.

"At that time he went to see you?"

"Actually, I went to see Chang Hui. Between them, there are some little secrets that others don't know about." He flicked his tail gently at midnight and continued to meow, "You know why the little devil thought so persistently Do you want to make a deal with him?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Dong Zheng didn't give midnight the opportunity to continue to challenge him, "Where is he?"

"Why did you make the atmosphere so stiff for the first time?" Sighing at midnight, the blue eyes suddenly turned green, "It seems that you don't want to talk to me anymore, just right, I should also Start working."

Before midnight, the black hand stretched out from the shadow of the void behind Dong Zheng. He threw it around his shoulder in a thunderous manner, and he would snatch the lantern in his hand!
