I Was Once a Legend

The president of Heimdall, Heinrich, is Swiss, and the West is particularly taboo about these things, so the number 13 will not appear in Heimdall, whether it is the number of stairs, members or props, but at this moment, The stairs stepped on by Cui Zuojing suddenly became 13 steps.

13,第六个素数，第11个亏数，第8个不寻常数,第7个斐波那契数……数学上这个数字被赋予了许多含义,但所有的都比不上那些传说——最后的晚餐中,第13位参与者犹大为了30块银元出卖了耶稣；而北欧神话里的宴会上，第13位来客洛基贸然闯入,招致天神宠爱的巴尔德尔送了性命。

"I noticed." Dong Zheng grabbed Cui Zuojing's hand with his backhand, and the young man clearly felt that the man's palm was also full of sweat at this time.When I was still in school, both Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing had heard of such a strange campus talk: It is said that there are unclean things in a certain school. On the night of the 12th of every month, the eyes of the portrait of Lu Xun at the school gate will move. All teaching buildings will lose power, the stairs will change from 13 to [-], the water from the faucet in the laboratory will turn red, and the bathroom at the end of the corridor on the first floor will never come out once you enter it.

Cui Zuojing, who had just entered junior high school, was once frightened by this story. His family was in the north, and it was so dark every winter afternoon when he finished school that he slipped away very fast every time he left school.And now, he experienced that creepy feeling again for a long time.

What are you talking about!As soon as the fear emerged, the boy smashed it back with a hammer: You are Cui Zuojing!do not be afraid!You must not be more timid than Dong Zheng!Be a little more manly than him!

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

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

The two continued to walk upwards, with the lantern in hand, and they didn't meet other ghosts for the time being, but they didn't know how long this state could last—the two clearly felt that in the dark corner where the light never shined, there were countless pairs of ghosts. Eyes are quietly watching them.

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, there was a cat squatting.

Behind it, the bloody full moon had shattered into pieces, trapped by the window frame, casting dark red silhouettes around the tabby body.The tabby cat squatted gracefully, with its tail forming a circle behind it, just quietly looking at the two people coming from below, its amber eyes with dilated pupils.

"Midnight?" Cui Zuojing asked in a low voice.

The cat didn't answer, it stood up, its tail shook slightly, and then the figure faded away, gradually disappearing in place.

Only the amber stone eyes remained, like the smile of the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

"Is it it?" Dong Zheng asked.

Cui Zuojing shook his head, it wasn't midnight, but obviously it wasn't an ordinary cat either.

"Let's go, hurry up and get the magic weapon first." The uneasiness in their hearts became more and more intense. They rarely heard the voices of other purged people on the way to Heimdall, since they were pilgrims who could reach the top of the giant tree , almost all deaths happened in the box, there should not be many people with insufficient points.

Looking at it this way, midnight should have been busy with other things long ago.

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 in front of him.

The puppet's head hit the steps, and it fell apart in an instant. Cui Zuojing subconsciously stopped and leaned back to avoid the unknown object that almost fell against his face, which also made him completely shrouded in front of Dong Zheng. in the shadows.

In this square inch where the light of the lantern could not illuminate, countless black hands stretched out from Dong Zheng's shadow, grabbed Cui Zuojing's arms, legs and feet, covered his mouth and nose, almost enveloping the boy like a black cocoon in!

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

But the communication connection is still there. At the last second when it disappeared in place, the bell trembled violently. At the same time, Dong Zheng clearly heard the cry from Cui Zuojing. Full of air, "Damn it!"

He turned around immediately, only to see two black hands that quickly retracted into his shadow, those hands were extremely slender and slender, and they were not in the proportions that humans would have at all.

The communication connection was interrupted, and Dong Zheng couldn't detect the existence of Cui Zuojing's core, which meant that the boy had disappeared near him.

Ah Zuo was... swallowed into his shadow? !

Dong Zheng had never seen such an operation before. He knelt down and touched the shadow he cast on the ground. All his palms touched were the roughness of the ground, and he didn't perceive any other abnormalities at all.

Dong Zheng stood up, and he pursed his lips tightly, almost understanding the reason of the matter.

As long as it is in a place that cannot be illuminated by the lantern, it is absolutely dangerous.

The young man who was following him disappeared without a trace in an instant. After the brief panic at the beginning, Dong Zheng quickly calmed down. Under this situation, his thoughts were very clear. Cui Zuojing was swallowed into him. I don't know how to find him yet, the safest move is to find the magic weapon first.

The two have already separated, and Midnight must do something to deal with him to hinder the function of the lantern. Unlike Cui Zuojing, he has no experience against Midnight.

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

How is Ah Zuo doing?

Out of sight behind him, a Siamese cat lightly jumped up the stair railing, the man's footsteps echoed so clearly in the silent corridor, the Siamese blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the whiskers on its cheeks trembled slightly .

It followed, the tip of its tail arcing gracefully in the air.

The eyes were engulfed by darkness, as if the whole person was wrapped in viscous liquid, and the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all blocked tightly, which made Cui Zuojing completely lose the perception of the outside world.

Biting chill invaded the body from every corner, engulfing skin, blood and bones.

Cui Zuojing curled up his right arm with all his strength, and his wrist touched his chest. In an instant, the three seals engraved on the inside of his wrist all lit up.The time power of the first seal, as well as the temporarily stored space power in the second and third seals exploded, breaking through the shackles of the ghost in an instant.

Under the original power of the element, the black shadow quickly lost water and melted like a slug sprinkled with a lot of salt.Cui Zuojing fell to the ground. He clutched his chest and coughed a few times, turned over and sat on the ground.

The eruption just now made all the ghosts disappear without a trace. The power of time and space is powerful, but they can only be used once in a short period of time, because they are not supposed to be used in that way.

Cui Zuojing looked around, he was still there, but Dong Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

He should have been pulled into Dong Zheng's shadow just now, and now this place...is a different dimension?

Cui Zuojing looked at the palm, the space power of morality is still with him, maybe he can use this to get out.

The boy stood up, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and lightly pressed the second and third seals with his left hand.

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

Dong Zheng stopped in front of a cubicle where a porcelain bottle was placed. The small white bottle was closed in a transparent cover, and the label said [Bright Holy Water].

Even as a member of the organization, leasing requires points as collateral, but now Dong Zheng is really penniless, so he directly put all the rules and regulations behind him, the kernel hacked, and the cover opened automatically after a few seconds.

Dong Zheng has carefully studied Heimdall's security system in private, and now the entire organization is as defenseless as if it had been stripped naked in his eyes.

He reached out to take out the vial, pulled out the cork, and dipped the arrows of the crossbow arrows in it one by one. After soaking all the eight arrows on his body, Dong Zheng put the vial in his pocket, finally gaining confidence in his heart.

Now he finally has the ability to fight back.

As for the issue of stealing the magic weapon... Dong Zheng put the cover back on, and told Heinrich later that there should be no problem.

He picked up the lantern that was set aside and was about to go back the same way to find Cui Zuojing, when he suddenly saw the shadow of a cat cast on the wall.

Dong Zheng paused and said in a low voice, "Midnight?"

The Siamese cat came out from behind the shelf, it walked gracefully and lightly, squatted down ten meters away from Dong Zheng, stared at the man with blue eyes, and meowed: "Well, it's me, I didn't expect to meet for the first time at this time. "

"I didn't expect that either." Dong Zheng held an arrow in one hand and a lantern in the other, and said on guard.

"Don't be so nervous." Midnight smiled, "I actually met you a long time ago, but you just didn't pay attention, remember? In the box of the doll's house, you were locked in prison, It was raining outside, and the little black goat went out by himself for a while."

Of course Dong Zheng remembered, because on that day, when the boy came back wet and shivering and squeezed around him to keep warm, he was squeezed into a corner by Cui Zuojing, sticking close to each other, arms touching The moment it reached the boy's waist, he felt an unexpected heartbeat.

"Did he go to see you then?"

"To be precise, I went to see Chang Hui. Between the two of them, there are some little secrets that others don't know." Midnight flicked her tail lightly, and continued to meow, "You know why that little devil is so persistent in thinking about it?" 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 a chance to continue to sow discord, "Where is he?"

"We met for the first time, why did you make the atmosphere so stiff?" Midnight sighed, his blue eyes suddenly turned green, "It seems that you don't want to continue chatting with me, just right, I should too Let's get to work."

Before Midnight's voice fell, a black hand stretched out from the shadow of the void behind Dong Zheng, and it circled around his shoulder with lightning speed, trying to snatch the lantern in his hand!
