Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"Varied——"

Xiao Ji, who was fully focused on the doctor, did not react much to this unusual sight. Instead, Mu Luo let out a exclamation.

For a moment, goosebumps appeared all over Mu Luo's body, and a fear called"fear" grew in her heart.

He has a clear understanding of his own strength, so even if he encountered many dangers before, he could rely on his understanding of the"troupe" rules to escape death every time.

Even the"patriot" who almost killed him was just a problem caused by insufficient hard power.

With adequate preparation, Mu Luo had every reason to believe that he had more than 90% chance of avoiding this risk.

Therefore, for him,"not being able to beat" has never been a cause of fear and worry for him, but the really scary thing is that he cannot see through it.

Just like the sense of unknown and fear brought about by something that had been planned all along, it was out of control. At this moment, the silver-haired Ferdia felt helpless like never before.

At the same time, another question arose in his mind

——"Since I don't even know, why can the doctor see through it at a glance?"

Combining the inexplicable fog just now, the monsters emerging in the fog, and the fact that the doctor disappeared silently and suddenly appeared in the fog, Mu Luo guessed that the doctor must have experienced something during the time he was missing. What he saw What

"Doctor, it's good that you're back."

The one who spoke concisely and concisely was D-TALON. The tall Yanguo man still maintained a calm expression when he spoke. No matter the battle just now, or the doctor's elimination and disappearance, it seemed that nothing could break this state of mind.

Maybe it was because of the D-TALON didn't think of anything to say. After holding back such a sentence, D-TALON had no words to follow. He just walked forward and patted the doctor's shoulder with his arm.

"Doctor...where did you...just...go?...What did you see?"

When it was Twilight Luo's turn, Operator Feidiya was uncharacteristically hesitant. He seemed to be expecting the doctor's answer, but was also afraid that the answer would correspond to his own expectations.

The doctor turned his head and looked at Twilight Luo

"I only see what you see, but I see what you don’t see."

The hooded man half lowered his head, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious:"This castle is both a desperate situation and a hotbed, where original sin was born and nourished by 'bait'."

(Bait?)

Neither Mu Luo nor D-TALON let go of the strange word in the doctor's mouth, and Xiao Ke didn't know enough about the word 'bait' and was still heartlessly immersed in the story of the doctor's return. in joy

"Well, bait."

After repeating the importance of this word, the doctor's tone became very low.

"……Whether it is the Crimson Singer or the enemies who rely on our memories to reappear, they are actually just shadows lingering in this castle that cannot leave. The reason why they can keep appearing is also relying on the power of the castle."

As he spoke, the doctor's tone became deeper:"But you can't just take everything in the world without giving... Then, if the long-disbanded theater troupe wants to maintain the energy of a castle, it will need to rely on some external means."

"……human sacrifice"

D-There was a cold light in TALON's eyes, but the doctor just nodded lightly.

"Originally, we were also one of the selected sacrifices, but what we did was beyond the castle's expectations, so after we left the room, there were almost endless strange attacks."

The doctor's face didn't look good when he said this, because he knew very well that the operators who came with him were probably in danger at this moment, and even if they were still alive, they would definitely be in danger.

But - in front of them, they were still in danger. There is another problem that needs to be solved.

The hooded man raised his head and looked at the fog that still had not completely dissipated in front of him, grinning with a sneer.

"Fog...right?"

After hearing the doctor's words, Kyobo was still full of doubts, but D-TALON immediately became thoughtful, and Mu Luo's eyes widened in an instant.

"Could it be that……"

"A very smart approach, following my attack to create a broken scene, making us feel that we have broken the illusion, but in fact we are still immersed in it... This is not just a fog, but also a... quite admirable psychological master."

As if the doctor's words had struck a chord, just as the hooded man spoke slowly, the mist that had been huddled in the corner began to steam up as if it was alive, and quickly rushed towards the words. He has not yet fallen.

This also proves that his judgment is extremely accurate!

"Danger!"

Twilight Luo immediately wanted to stand in front of the doctor and protect him from the white mist whose source and identity were unknown. However, when he took the first step, he was blocked by the white mist and fell into a dilemma where he could not advance or retreat. , can only shout anxiously.

But——

"If you just try to block my blade with this incorporeal gesture, this would be too naive!"

The blade that was cut out with the roar was silent, and even the sound of the splitting wind seemed to be killed by this blow.

But the white mist that encountered this blade was like melted ice and snow, moving along the blade. The trajectory began to crack, decompose, and disintegrate, until it disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the sound of the blade striking began to sound.

From being inaudible, to the roar of the sword shaking the sky!
