Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

I saw large, shiny black old-fashioned mimeograph machines lined up at both ends, with rollers and rollers, and discount flyers sliding down from the nozzles like snow flakes, falling into the plastic basket below!

"What is the difference between this shabby room and the other side of the corridor? Since it’s a decisive battle, it doesn’t matter where you choose, right?"I looked around and asked disdainfully

"You have the time to mock me in a weird way, why not take a look at the door you came in from!"Krys pointed behind us angrily. The glass door disappeared instantly and was replaced by a solid wall. It's just that we ran in and made a bit of noise, causing the two headlights hanging above our heads to swing back and forth.. She patted the mimeograph equipment and shouted:"Yes, we are in the basement of the bookstore, but the spatial pattern is completely disrupted. In fact, when I was chasing, I found that the connected house was very weird. No one would have both a bathroom and a bedroom on the ground floor. The sheep occupied the main field and confused our sight, blindly leading everyone to a dead end!"

"So, do you want to say that Ligeia can transform different locations in the entire city to repair us?"The widow scratched her head, stuck out her tongue, and shouted with a grimace:"Then we will be played to death by it?"

"No, it is just a devil, and it belongs to the humble people in the city. Otherwise, there is no need to go to the countryside to work and earn money. The world of demon souls also has patterns. Only the top figures have that kind of power and ability. If it doesn't work, the sheep can only pester us in the place where they live. This is actually her home! Krys interrupted the question impatiently, took out a metal object from under his ragged hemp skirt, waved it in front of our eyes, and said with a proud smile:"Look, what is it?" This little thing came to me when I passed by the bedroom just now!"

"Eh? That’s what happened!"The two of us poked our heads out, and when we saw the yellowed photo in the frame, we understood instantly.

This was a photo taken at an unknown date and month. The photo was taken in this workshop, with more than ten people crowded on it. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses huddled in a corner with a little girl on his knees. There was a strong man with a sweaty face holding a cigar, posing with his chest and belly raised, almost squeezing the two out of the camera. Although I don’t know Who are the characters in the picture specifically, but one can tell at a glance that the girl is Ligeia when she was young. To be held so affectionately by the old man is obviously the father and daughter. In this way, more details are gradually revealed. The strong man is supposed to be the owner of the bookstore, and the old man may be an employee. The father and daughter are shabbily dressed, and they may have no fixed place to live, so they set up a cellar as a home and have lived here for many years. As for whether this is true, it remains to be seen. to more

"I have a question that I can't figure out."Looking at the old photos, I suddenly remembered a mystery. Just when I was about to speak, I was covered by Krys's soft palm. She led the two of us into the dimly lit machines, made a silent sound, and walked towards the wall. He pointed.

It was a pool of mildew reflected in the corner, like someone else's urine on the wall. It looked very moist. I don't know whether it was due to the swinging lights or the darkness itself. It gradually multiplied and slowly Gathered into a dark brown human shape

"Do you think this shabby workshop is no longer its place?"Seeing that the dirt was getting bigger and bigger, but we could only watch it grow wildly without being able to do anything. I started to reload the ammunition hurriedly, pushed Krys with my shoulder, and asked:"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"I don't know, there is a gold return thread in my head talking to me. He or she tells me that the cellar has been punctured by us and the female beast has no home. As a result, it hates us even more, so it chases us after us. There is no doubt that this is still its home court, but what we really need to do is to force it out of the bookstore. As long as it runs onto the street, all its advantages will be lost!"

"But where is the door?"The widow looked around and exclaimed:"This ghost place is so perfect that it's basically a secret room!"

"So rely on this guy! His Ruowenwang soul was specially designed to detect flaws. Krys dragged us over, bumped his head lightly, and said with a bitter smile:"To be honest, I underestimated the sheep. After all, it was forged by the mountain hunter." I thought it would be bad if I disliked you before, but now it seems that without you, I will accomplish nothing and my life will be in vain."

"Well, even though you look like a young and smart girl, you are actually an old man who is over seventy years old. It is really inappropriate for you to say such sensational things! Let’s be honest, what do you want me to do?"Being praised, no matter what kind of heart she buried, it felt very comfortable. I stretched my arms and climbed up, looked around the printing room again, I couldn't help but be stunned and speechless. I don't know when the fight started, the humble room Countless brown stains like this appeared on various walls. Some were kneeling human figures, some were standing upright, and some were crawling. In short, the shapes were all different and lifelike. There was an extremely low buzzing sound, which began to Frequently sounded around. As one light bulb exploded with a strong arc light, other chandeliers began to flicker violently!

No need to think about it, the fact is before our eyes, the moment of the second impact of the sheep has finally arrived!

I let out a roar Yell, distribute the white porcelain figurines to two people. Then throw them out violently! Gray smoke rises from the chicken that has been smashed through the fragile outer wall. Two rows of chicken paw prints appear among the scraps of paper on the ground, and they start to move towards the wall. Running wildly. The other two people did not dare to neglect, and threw out their mature claws one after another. For a time, countless such claw marks were running in the broken house. The light bulbs above the head exploded one by one, hanging down endless sparks, and the thick darkness swallowed up the surroundings like a tide. Everything, seeing the sinister encirclement tightening, I took out a headlamp and pinned it on my sweatshirt to support the last spot of light. Those paw prints walked around in a circle, then disappeared back to our feet.

"Even my half-demon sharp eyes can't penetrate this shady plot!"The widow kicked her feet in annoyance, took out two elephant tendons and held them up to her eye sockets, saying:"I can control myself when I fall into absolute madness. Perfect husband, you can start. I will move with your body. And move to seal off the space in front of you! The rest is up to you! Remember not to get your hands or feet hurt!"

With a loud rumbling sound, a huge thing jumped from the air and jumped onto the top of the mimeograph roller equipment. Pale and vein-covered hands and feet stuck out of the black robe, dressed in dirty clothes like splashing ink. Dirty long hair covered her face, and she snickered at the three of us. This thing was exactly the shadow that first appeared at the cellar escalator, a slender banshee whose origin was unknown!

Where did this guy come from? And Who is it? Could it be that the one who was fighting with us in the corridor was also this monster? Before I had time to think about it, I had already grabbed Krys’s wrist and rushed in one direction! After the widow pierced her eyes, she let out a terrifying roar. , flying towards that thing, like two huge bats colliding together, raising countless crow feathers, and rolling out with blood spray!

I just ran forward with all my heart, and I was hit hard by this momentum and was hidden. She couldn't stop on the solid wall. When she came to her senses, she and Krys had already rolled to the ground. She yelled angrily whether I knew how to find a way out. Before she could finish her words, she was wrapped in a ball of rotten linen and dragged away. , disappeared into the darkness! The sounds of fighting could be heard one after another, and the equipment around me was covered with claw marks and blades! I couldn't wait, and I never thought that the cat's blood shackles had swallowed themselves into my belly, and my original intention was just to fight the black man. Mamba was not used to break the visual barrier once. In other words, I have no idea how to find the secret door to escape from here!

Several holy fires fluttered in the distance, and before they rolled around, they were swallowed up by the black mist, and The position keeps changing, sometimes east and sometimes west.

This situation once again puts us on an extremely unbalanced scale. I am Velvet myself, but I can't see through all the tricks and have no experience; the widow has the strongest fighting ability, But he is just a thug; Freesia, who is well aware of the dangers of the sheep, has neither the soul of Ruowen Wang nor the sharp eyes. In short, the three of us have their own advantages, but they are all restricted! Now! , I somewhat understand why the strong men in the dark world are working tirelessly to find the diamond. Maybe they do not have great ambitions, nor do they use it as a capital to show off, but just for the future, when they encounter unimaginable powerful enemies. You can save your life!

There is only one way to change the disadvantage. Thinking about it, I reached into my backpack, took out the pepper pickles, and threw them behind me. The moment before the Thunderbird was swallowed by the darkness, I pulled the trigger! Although Krys strictly forbade this and threatened that we would also be incinerated, but otherwise I couldn’t break through the black mist, and I had to be aware of the environment I was in! The compressed gas hit the fire debris flowing in the air and exploded! At the same time, the other end also lit up the sacred fire, and the sky and the earth were reflected by two extremely bright lights, which made people's eyes full of white spots!

Under the dark sky, I stood on the iron ladder at the back of the house for some reason. The ground was full of messes underneath. Cement tiles and large-scale mimeograph equipment. Things in black robes have been torn into two pieces by the furious women, each of them struggled in one place. Not to mention the widow, four flying sickles were swung tightly, chasing her. The part was almost unreliable; and Krys found a pair of antlers from somewhere and was holding on to the opponent's barbed fangs, trying desperately to prevent it from biting his throat. The black-robed sheep suddenly fell down when it saw the white light. The long, withered hair stirred up the yin fire. Even if he was as strong as a king, he couldn't bear to face the sharp pepper pickle head on. How could he look straight at it? Only a scream was heard, and the object quickly dove into the shadow of the equipment and disappeared in an instant.

"Eh? Your shadow is back!"Krys crawled backwards on her hands and knees, and retreated far away to avoid the fire that fell like dust. She was staring at me in amazement. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, her eyes widened, and she got up all of a sudden.

I laughed evilly. , wielding the boning knife and stabbing backwards, I heard a pop, something was pierced and turned into countless bloody bats scattered. Then these flying shadows gathered in front of me again, I took advantage of it before it solidified. type, stuffed another pickled pepper into its mouth, pulled the withered hair on its knees and hit it on the face, then kicked it three times, kicked the black-robed sheep eight feet away, and fired the big gun randomly!

Needless to say its power, another overwhelming mushroom cloud rose up. Before the thing could figure out what was going on, it was torn into pieces by the pale light that was as bright as an atomic bomb explosion! It let out a long mouse scream and turned into powder again. , disappeared into the air.

As the object disappeared, the entire printing workshop returned to its original state, and the stains on the wall gradually faded away. Finally, a rotten door appeared in the side corner. Its location was where the toilet used to be, but it was just a mold stain. She had lost her human form and now turned into rust and reflected in front of the door. The widow was extremely tired and collapsed to the ground. She pulled out the elephant tendons and looked at me with a pair of bloody holes, asking when she became so brave. ?

Actually, as early as the moment the Thunderbird exploded, I noticed that although the chicken footprints were crawling all over the big house, they all pointed to the same location in the end. This also shows that the familiar claws are effective, no matter what the chickens do Even a moth can't change the principle of matter. After this stage of defense, I was sure that the black-robed sheep would not be able to withstand the bright light and would temporarily avoid the sharp edge, so I deliberately shrank back and stood at the dark end. This step is to wait for it to pounce suddenly. The words of the waitress before the bloody battle reminded me not to let it break the tendons of my hands and feet. By observing various traces of struggle, there are only three parts attacked by the black-robed sheep: The first is the throat, the second is the waist and eyes, and the last is the ankles and wrists. If a person is attacked in these three places, he will immediately lose his combat effectiveness and be left with nothing but his flesh.

Once you figure out the old demon's attack routine, it will become much easier to deal with it. All I have to do is cut him off in the path of its claws! So when it wanted to take out the money, I blocked it with my butcher knife. Seeing that the situation was not going well, it immediately pounced on its throat. I was like a man in the boxing ring. Warrior, move it one step faster and give you a discount gift package, that's all

"I felt at first that this thing's IQ was not very high. How could a mere sheep defeat me, who is so resourceful and far-reaching?"

"Are you planning to blow us all to pieces? I warned you again and again! I was smiling triumphantly when I felt my chest being hit by a sharp object. I raised my head and looked. It was the furious Krys. She held up a pair of antlers of unknown origin in front of her.

""You, stop pretending to be majestic and act for me." I pushed the antlers away, pointed at her rhinoceros nose, and sneered:"From the moment you release St. Elmo's Fire to protect yourself, I knew everything you said was a lie!"

"Eh? what happened? When the white light suddenly appeared, I also felt a sharp sting and shivered. Why did you say that to her?"

I stretched out my hand and pulled Luna to my side, and began to reveal the details of my observations one by one. In the previous bloody battle in front of the floor tiles, Krys's original intention was to release the holy fire to relieve the bereaved woman, but after she thought about it, she felt that the two of us She might not be able to cope with it, so she ran away in fear. Then there was a battle in the printing room, and she was dragged away by the old demon. Her self-esteem was critical, and she had no choice but to release fireballs to defend herself. All this shows that she is assessing the level of danger, and at any time Adjust strategy and react

"Therefore, although Yin Slash, Wolf Bite, Thunderbolt Fire and Soul Falling Slash will cause direct damage, they will not be fatal! She knows this very well!"I raised my hands, paced in front of the two of them, and said:"Her intention is actually to protect the sheep!"

"According to what you say, is she an accomplice of Ligeia? I'm confused. Are you two enemies in your previous life?"Luna glanced at Krys, who was covered in blood, and said,"But she is also covered in bruises, and that thing is not recognized by her relatives."

"Of course she is not an accomplice, and is also the sworn enemy of the sheep, but she will protect it with all her strength. As for why, we can only tell us the answer."I jumped on the mimeograph machine and sat down firmly. I smiled at Krys and shouted loudly:"Be honest!"

Even though she was an old fox, she was still filled with chaff when she heard the sudden thunder. Seeing that her intentions had been seen through, she had no choice but to make a compromising gesture, asked me for a cigarette, lit it, and sighed:"I don't have any. I'm protecting it, but I don't want to see it being blown to pieces and the demon soul being wiped out in the fierce battle. So I forbid you to use powerful hand cannons against it. If the brilliance will disappear along with the sheep, then what's the point of all my efforts to break into the vortex?"

"I've heard people say in the past that secondary diamonds are natural crystallizations within the body of a corrupt giant monster, just like a tree with a heart and roots that cannot be taken out unless it is destroyed. Are you just saying it now? Then wouldn't all strategies have to be overturned and started over?"After hearing this, the widow became a little angry no matter how good-tempered she was, and shouted:"Tell the truth, don't continue to lie, what on earth is that!"

"It's a colorful star, that's for sure, and its real name is Iridescent Pileus Cloud. But it is different. It is a heart that started to evolve from the enlightenment of basic subjects, and gradually advanced to the reverse time wheel, so it must be taken out while the sheep is alive. At first I didn't know the details like you, but after talking to a guy who always ate ice cream from the same bowl, I finally figured it out.To the essence, that’s why we have to hide these."Krys shrugged, his bright eyes swept over our faces, and said,"That's the end of my honesty. I can't say more. So, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to cooperate or not!"
