moon shot plan

The figure was not enough, like a young boy who hadn't grown up yet, but he was agile. He jumped off the wall in a few steps, ran to Anna, approached her cautiously, and called softly, "Anna, Anna, are you asleep?" ?”

Anna didn't want to talk to him at first, but he kept buzzing, so she opened her eyes and looked at him coldly: "What are you doing?"

"I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought you were murdered by those people. After asking for a long time, someone told me that you were taken away by the bishop. It seems that you are going to be sent to a monastery..." He looked at Anna's thin clothes , frowned and said: "Why did those nuns shut you out? And let you stay in the cemetery, they are too bad!"

Anna turned her face away: "Don't guess, Huot. This is just the task I was assigned. I want to keep vigil for those who died in vain, otherwise their souls will be stolen by the devil."

"Devil? Oh my god, that's just a legend. You can believe it when you lie to children." Holt stuck out his tongue nonchalantly, but seeing Anna's face getting colder, he quickly changed the subject: "Well, Anna, You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I brought you some food, eat it quickly, or it will be cold."

As he spoke, he took out an oilcloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Anna. When he opened it, he found several pieces of bread inside.

"Where did you get it? Didn't you have been kicked out of the house by your parents?" Anna looked at the few pieces of cake, but didn't take them for a long time.

"Anyway, it wasn't stolen or robbed. Believe me, who am I? No matter what time, I can always find something to eat." After Huo Te finished speaking, he passed the cake in his hand forward again: "Come on , eat."

Only then did Anna hesitantly accept it, but she hesitated and dared not say anything: "Well, actually, I am guarding these suicide vigils now, it is a test given to me by God, and I should practice hard at this time, how can I steal food? "

"Don't think about penance anymore, haven't you suffered enough these days?" Holt persuaded: "Eat quickly, or you won't be able to keep it all night."

After struggling for a while, Anna took a bite of the pancake in her hand. As soon as she took a bite, her face changed, and she threw the pancake back into Holt's arms, and asked in a rage, "You stole the cake?" Communion bread in church?!"

"It wasn't stolen... I helped them clean the house, and I saw a lot of these cakes, but no one would eat them anyway, so I took a few, ate a couple of them on the way, and brought the rest back to you... It is said to be a communion bread, but isn’t it just an ordinary bread? Didn’t you see it just now…” Holt muttered in a low voice.

"How can it be an ordinary bread? The communion bread is made of the flesh and blood of a saint. I can feel the divine power and enlightenment contained in it after just one bite...Unless this kind of thing is given, mortals are absolutely not qualified to enjoy it, even the bishop You can't enjoy it arbitrarily, how can you take out so much casually?" Anna became more and more excited, and finally got up and left: "I want to report this to the bishop, you ate so much communion bread without permission, There will definitely be trouble, and it must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Anna, are you crazy? Tell the bishop? God, if he finds out about my eating the communion bread, he will cook it and make it into meatloaf!" Holt hurriedly grabbed her and begged her repeatedly "Anna, those who don't know are not guilty. The bishop hasn't found out yet. I beg you to forgive me for this. Since I was kicked out of my family, I have no food every day and no place to live. I rely on the relief of the church. If you put Tell the bishop about this, then I can only die on the street."

"Since you know that the matter is so serious, why couldn't you control your mouth at the beginning? Don't you know that gluttony is also an original sin?" Anna asked sharply.

"I know I was wrong. Don't tell the bishop. If he really finds out about this, I will accept the punishment obediently." Holt begged in a low voice: "I am willing to guard the cemetery with you, as long as you don't Report this to the Bishop."

"...Who wants you to guard the cemetery for me, return these cakes quickly." Anna sighed, sat back, and waved at him: "Next time I won't be tolerant, go away, let me alone Just be quiet."

"Okay, I'll see if I can return them, I swear I will try my best." Holt finished speaking, bowed to her, and then dally prepared to leave, while Anna closed her eyes again. Eyes, clasped hands on chest, continued unfinished prayer.

"...What's the situation?" Xu Heng stood on tiptoe and looked down: "Who is that man? He is also one of Anna's suitors?"

"I don't know...Maybe it's a friend? Or just admire her?" Lan Xin shook her head and asked again: "Did you hear what they said just now? I heard Anna admitting that she was guarding the grave?"

"She said that this is the task assigned to her by the monastery, and she is asked to keep vigil for those youths who committed suicide, otherwise the devil will come..." An Ran recalled it carefully, and then said: "By the way, I seem to have heard that The man said, if Anna doesn’t tell the story, he will help her guard the tomb, doesn’t it seem like this?”

"It's true, Anna. She was kind enough to bring food to her, but she actually wants to report to the bishop. How can there be such a person? It's just because the other party likes her." Xu Heng sighed. road.

"Don't take it too seriously, it's just a background story, anyway, they are all NPCs." Lan Xin said with a smile: "Besides, didn't Anna say that the 'community bread' seems to be a very important thing, maybe that boy really didn't mean to What a big mistake you made."

"Indeed, communion bread is indeed a very precious thing in this small town. After eating it, it can not only improve your physical fitness, but also resist evil spirits. There should not be many in the church. He took no less than five yuan. It can indeed be said that he committed a crime." Big mistake." Xie Yi said.

"Wow, it's not like stealing an elixir." Xu Heng said with emotion, "It would be great if we could eat a dollar or two when we go to church."

Lan Xin laughed at the side: "Let's find the church first."

Several people were discussing, but there was a scream outside the window, and Holt shouted downstairs: "Snake! There is a snake! The snake came out of the grave!"

what happened? !

Everyone hurriedly looked around, and saw Huot kicking and kicking beside a new grave, as if trying to break free from something, An Ran took a closer look, and found that his right foot was entangled by a colorful snake. Half of it is wrapped around the tombstone, and the tail is still buried in the soil. The exposed part is two or three meters long. If it is all out, it may strangle him to death directly.

"How could there be a snake?" An Ran was puzzled: "Isn't this cemetery just built? If there is such a big snake buried in the soil, how could it not be found when it was buried?"

"That's not a snake, it's the incarnation of a devil." Xie Yi looked out the window with gloomy eyes: "The end of the town is coming."

The embodiment of the devil?An Ran seemed to understand, looked out the window, but saw that Anna had already run over, she picked up a stone on the spot, slammed it hard at the giant snake, smashed it in half, and rushed at the howling Huo Te shouted: "Get out of here and go to the bishop!"

"Looking for him? Why are you looking for him?" Holt said with a guilty conscience, "It's just a snake. It's fine if you kill it. There's no need to alarm the bishop."

Anna said anxiously: "Those are not ordinary snakes! They are the incarnation of evil spirits, transformed by the resentment of those who committed suicide. If we don't control them quickly, the town will soon be engulfed!"

Before the words fell, there was another rustling sound from the cemetery, as if some greasy creature was walking on the ground. Anna looked around, and sure enough, she found that there were long snakes protruding from the other graves. Pushed Holt and urged him: "Go to the bishop quickly, don't delay!"

"Oh, okay..." Holt finally came to his senses, and rushed to the gate of the cemetery in one breath, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "What about you, Anna? Come out with me, let's go in together Church dodged."

Anna casually picked up a short stick and held it in her hand, staring warily at the long snakes that were swaying in the darkness. She didn't have the time to talk to him, but kept urging: "You go and report to the bishop, don't worry about me."

"But……"

"Stop talking, go and inform the bishop!"

Holt gritted his teeth, then turned and left, taking advantage of the night, and ran to the east quickly.

"Those snakes were transformed by the resentment of the suicides? Didn't they commit suicide? What kind of resentment do they have?" Xu Heng scratched his head, but couldn't figure it out.

"They didn't commit suicide very willingly. They just wanted to shock Anna with their own death because they couldn't get what they wanted. They just wanted to shock Anna with their own death, but they didn't expect Anna to be indifferent to this. Of course, they would feel that death was not worth it. Besides, The demons have long been lurking in the town, so how could they miss this opportunity to infect the town?" When Xie Yi said this, he was silent for a while, and motioned the three of them to listen carefully to the surrounding movements.

The night was as cool as water, and the surroundings were originally very quiet, otherwise they would not have heard the conversation downstairs. However, when they listened carefully, they could faintly catch some rustling sounds, like fingers scratching on wood. Voices from the floor.

"It seems to be coming from outside the door." Lan Xin's expression changed, and she pointed to the dilapidated wooden door with cracks.

"I heard it too, it seems to be... a mouse?" An Ran quietly walked a few steps towards the door, listened carefully, and became more certain: "It should be a mouse, I heard a 'squeak' sound."

"This dilapidated church has rats attached to it. It really is an old abandoned building." Xu Heng said jokingly, but he couldn't actually laugh. He also knew that the rats in the blood moon book were not normal creatures.

"What should we do now? Continue to wait here all night...or go down and help her?" Lan Xin pointed out the window - Anna was struggling with the long snake with the short stick at this moment.

"Of course..." An Ran was about to say 'Of course I want to go to her', but just as she was about to leave her mouth, she realized that she had no position to say that at all. Anna was a very delicate existence to him, and he didn't understand why I just want to save her, but for others, Anna is just a background NPC, not a mission requirement. Anyway, the bishop will come later, so going to help her at this time is simply superfluous.

So An Ran said: "We'll wait and see, anyway, she is the future Holy Mother... she will definitely save the day."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but look out of the window again, and found that Anna could only dodge in embarrassment under the siege of several long snakes. There was a scream, and the nuns shouted down the corridor:

"Mice, there are mice!"

"A rat has bitten someone! Help!"

Their yells didn't sound like they were scared by mice at all, but like they were being chased by some terrifying monsters, especially the "Help", which made people panic, and everyone was hesitating whether to go out and see Look, a man slammed into their door, knocking on the door panel desperately, screaming for help from inside: "Help! Rats, rats are eating me! God, help!"

Everyone looked at each other, not sure whether to open the door, and finally, Xie Yi said: "Open the door, the devil's footsteps are getting closer and closer, we must leave here as soon as possible and take refuge in the church."

"Then I'll take a look." Xu Heng said, pulling out the epee behind him and holding it in his hand, but before he could reach the door, the overwhelmed door panel collapsed, and a nun in a black robe screamed fell to the ground.

Before everyone could see what was going on with her, they saw three or four furry gray shadows rushing towards them out of thin air. Xu Heng was startled for a moment, and instinctively swung his epee to block it. Two gray shadows fell.

He took a closer look, and found that the two gray shadows turned out to be two big furry mice, each the size of a kitten, with red eyes that seemed to be dripping blood, and a pointed mouth full of sharp teeth. The sharp teeth were covered with fresh blood again, and it was not difficult to guess that they were the ones attacking the nun just now.

The other two mutated mice pounced on Lan Xin and An Ran respectively. Lan Xin had been prepared, she drew her bow and arrow, and shot it in the eye. Its head was cut off, and there were two more rat corpses on the ground in an instant.

"Why is this mouse so big?" Lan Xin felt a chill in her heart when she looked at the mutated mice, and then she looked at the nun who was asking for help. Her neck had already been bitten off, and her body was all blue and white, as if all the blood in her body had been sucked out. Dry, now breathless.

"Are these mice also monsters?" An Ran asked.

Xie Yi replied: "They are no different from those snakes in essence. Before they reproduce much, we leave as soon as possible, and we will be completely surrounded by them if we are too late."

An Ran nodded solemnly, and took the lead to go out. The corridor was dark, only a few rays of starlight shot in from the damaged dome, and there was still a creaking sound when the feet stepped on the wooden boards, but these voices and screams Compared with the sound, it was nothing at all, An Ran could be sure that the nuns' rooms must have been attacked by rats.

"Squeaky-"

The screams at the other end of the corridor became louder. An Ran turned her head and saw a large group of mutated mice with red eyes pouring out of the nuns' room. They were all as big as kittens, but they moved more nimbly and agilely than cats. They have already rushed over to them.

Lan Xin quickly aimed at them and shot a few arrows, but there were too many monsters. As soon as she killed two or three mutant mice, other mice rushed up continuously. If she hadn't dodged in time, she might be bitten severely Take a sip.

"No, there are too many of them, it is impossible for us to rush out!"

Xu Heng was also deeply surrounded by rat monsters. Although his weapons were powerful and had sacred attribute bonuses, those monsters moved nimbly and quickly, jumping up and down around him, left and right, and he swung his heavy sword left and right. He hacked, but almost didn't kill a single one. He was being played around all the time, and soon felt exhausted and unable to support himself.

An Ran tried to use the magic flame attached to the dagger to burn those mutated mice, but they were numerous and moved fast, basically they all escaped quickly before the flame burned, even if a few fell into the magic flame, It was burned to ashes in an instant, and the other monsters had already avoided far away, unable to cause too much damage at all.

"What can we do? If this goes on like this, we will all be trapped here!" An Ran fought and retreated, heartbroken, wondering if he would be able to rush out of the monastery today.

As time went by, the number of mutated mice did not decrease at all, and many smaller mice joined the battle. Their bodies were only covered with a thin layer of fluff, and their bones and muscles were not as solid as the mutated mice. It is easy to kill them, but although these little mice are weak, their numbers are really huge, and they can really consume people to death if they rush over one by one.

The cloak on Xie Yi's body was embroidered with gorgeous magic patterns. At this time, there was a golden-red light in the darkness, which made the mutated mice fearful and detoured one after another.But Xie Yi didn't intend to let them go. He pulled out the long sword on his waist and swung it forward. Instantly, the flames burst into flames. Before the mutated mice fled in panic, the flames spread rapidly and soon A large group of rats were burned to death, and a gap was finally opened in the encirclement.

"An Ran, do you have a star lamp? Take it out, the starlight bestowed by God can disperse these monsters." Xie Yi said, and waved it several times, the corridor suddenly burst into flames, and the air was filled with meat. Burnt smell.

Seeing that there was hope to break through, An Ran quickly summoned the [Santa Anna Star Lantern], and he shouted at the other three: "You guys go down first, I'll finish later."

"I'm with you." Xie Yi said, and set fire to the monsters behind. They took advantage of this short gap and ran downstairs. There were also a few sporadic mice on the first floor, but soon They were dealt with by Lan Xin and Xu Heng, and those mutated mice who chased them were afraid of the lantern in An Ran's hand and Xie Yi's flame, and did not dare to get too close. In this way, they finally managed to escape from the monastery .

As soon as he got out of the monastery, Xie Yi quickly swung his sword back, orange flames shot up into the sky, and the whole monastery was burned in the blink of an eye. They only heard the sharp screams of monsters, but they didn't see any monsters escaping.

"It finally came out. Those mice should all be dead. I don't want to see them again." Xu Heng was still in fear, panting while leaning on the epee.

Xie Yi shook his head, frowned and said, "This is only a small part. If I remember correctly, this town is already surrounded by rats."

"What?" The faces of the three turned pale—could the town be full of rats now?

Xie Yi sighed softly, and continued: "Church Town once had a serious rat infestation, and nearly half of the town's residents died in this catastrophe, and all of this is a conspiracy of the devil."

Rat problem?

An Ran was trying to digest this information, when Xie Yi turned his head and said to him: "This rat infestation is one of the contents that have been erased from the mural."
