midnight ten

The light in the entire Ring City suddenly dimmed, as if it had finally passed the final critical point of dusk, and it was dark in an instant.

At the same time, the voice of Demos sounded in the hearts of all the passers-by who had not yet entered the temple——

"There are only 10 minutes left before the end of the test of [People's Fear], if you haven't grabbed the neck ring yet, hurry up~~"

He imitated the tone of the owl's mechanical voice on a whim, but it was only [-]% similar, because the owl's mechanical voice as an objective reminder, no matter how malicious or playful, it is just a sound transmission tool, and you can't hear any "personality" behind it .

Demos has it.

That "superior sense of superiority" almost breaks through the voice and slaps you in the face.

Tang Lin was momentarily distracted by the sudden darkness + inner reminder.

But for Qi Hua, who has always been wary of Lang Ying and calculating the way out, this change is simply a godsend opportunity.

Just as Demos finished speaking, and the final sound of "yo" was still hovering in everyone's hearts, the man who was still wearing Fan Peiyang's skin sprinted past Tang Lin, relying on Mr. Fan's two long legs, Running as fast as a cheetah, it headed straight for the temple.

Tang Lin turned around and chased after him with all his strength. The wolf shadow who was at his feet jumped up, and drew a black line in the air with a "sigh--", approaching the back of the "unnamed passer-by" .

When playing stupid before, Tang Lin thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and everyone went to the temple smoothly.

But he has already shown his cards, so he cannot return without success.At least, he needs to know who the other party is?Why kill him?For the neck ring or something else?

If you just let it go without knowing it, it will definitely be a hidden danger in the future.

In the dark narrow alley, the shadow of the wolf pounced on the back of the escaped man fiercely and ferociously.

But the escaper reacted extremely sharply, and at the moment when Wolf Shadow's sharp claws were about to grab his shoulder, his right arm suddenly swung backward and horizontally, and the dagger he was holding drew a cold light in the dark narrow alley. The location is exactly the abdomen of the wolf shadow.

It is very difficult for Wolf Shadow to change from "entity" back to "black mist" in a state of full attack.

Tang Lin only heard a scream from Lang Ying, which dissipated in an instant.

He immediately concentrated on sensing, and the degree of wolf shadow's injury was clearly fed back through the connection established with each other - the injury was moderate, and he could continue to attack, but the attack power basically could not threaten the opponent.

Tang Lin doesn't know what other people's stationery trees are like, but at least for him, Wolf Shadow is more like an independent creature living in his stationery tree. He has emotions. If he is unhappy, he needs to be comforted, and he will be injured. Time and mental energy to repair.

Right now, it doesn't make much sense to use [Wolf Shadow Walking Alone].

But if you simply use speed to chase, Tang Lin can't catch up at all. At most, you can keep the distance between yourself and the opponent unchanged.

The narrow alley ahead has come to an end, and there will be an intersection when you leave the narrow alley. There will be more roads and troubles.

Tang Lin made a decisive decision, clicked on the <Stationary Box> in his mind, and among the few armors given by Fan Peiyang, he chose to use <[anti] jogging shoes> on the "unidentified person" ahead!

Qi Hua was only two steps away from running out of the narrow alley, and she could almost see countless avenues beckoning towards her, but at this last moment, her feet suddenly sank, as if she was suddenly tied to a heavy stone, and her running speed instantly changed from The speed of 32 times became 0.5 times, and the body swayed forward suddenly under the action of huge inertia. If it weren't for the "heaviness under his feet", he would have kissed the ground.

Tang Lin likes this armor, very much.

He took the opportunity to shorten the distance between them, eight meters became six meters, six meters became three meters, and he was about to catch up.

Qi Hua suddenly frowned very quickly, and then the steps that were heavy a second ago suddenly became light, and led him out of the narrow alley at once.

The other party also used stationery.

Tang Lin didn't know exactly what he was using, but it must be the type that can counteract the effect of <[anti] jogging shoes>.

He rushed out and chased to the intersection, watching the people in front run into another alley on the left front, and at the end of that alley was the temple!

It's futile to chase like this.

Tang Lin was feeling annoyed when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from ahead, with some doubts: "Captain?"

He moved his gaze from obliquely in front to not far in front, and it turned out to be Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge, leisurely coming out of that alley.

Tang Lin didn't have time to greet the two teammates, and pointed directly at the back of the diagonally in front of him and issued an order: "Help me to block people at the other end of the alley—"

The two turned their heads and saw a shirtless figure running wildly into an alley next door.

"Block the boss?" Zheng Luozhu blurted out.

Nan Ge was startled: "Can you recognize this too?"

"It's not Fan Peiyang." Tang Lin didn't have time to explain too much, so he could only succinctly say, "His stationery tree can transform."

Transform?

Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge looked at each other, wasn't that the [Painted Skin] who hurt Da Sixi!

Tang Lin had already chased after him, and Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge didn't have time to discuss it, so they turned back and ran back to the alley they just came out of.

Their alley and the alley that Tang Lin chased into are adjacent to each other, and they can all reach the temple, but theirs is a straight road, and the one next door is an oblique road, so they will definitely have time to run back to the other end to block Qi birch.

The light suddenly dimmed a few degrees, and it was completely night.

Nan Ge and Zhuzi ran in the alley one after the other, barely seeing each other clearly.

Tang Lin's chase here was also vague, because he was left too far behind by the person in front, at first he could still see a figure from behind, then it was a mass of black shadows, and then he couldn't see any outlines.

Running to the end of the alley in one breath, Tang Lin crashed into the arms of his teammate.

"Team leader?" Zhu Zi and Nan Ge caught him together, with surprised faces.

The two had arrived long ago, blocking the entrance of the alley like two door gods. After waiting for more than ten seconds, a black figure finally came. They thought it was blocking Qi Hua, but they never thought it was Tang Lin.

Wait, is this really Tang Lin?

A chill crept into Nan Ge's heart.

She suddenly held Tang Lin's wrist with her backhand: "What was the first sentence I said to you in the dungeon?"

"Damn, who remembers this?" Zheng Luozhu understood Nan Ge's vigilance, but the questions you asked had to be more reliable...

Tang Lin: "If you also want to listen to a screaming concert, just keep going."

Nan Ge let go: "The answer is right."

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

"What was the first sentence I told you?" Tang Lin looked directly at Nan Ge, from being suspected to being doubted.

Nan Ge: "Do me a favor."

Tang Lin's sharp eyes softened: "Yes."

Then he turned to Zheng Luozhu.

Zheng Luozhu directly surrendered: "Don't ask me, I'm just an ordinary person, whether it's the first sentence you said to me or the first sentence I said to you," he tapped himself on the head twice, "In It's all blank here."

Tang Rin didn't answer or ask questions, he just lied: "Zhuzi, the person you are looking for is in the water world."

Zheng Luozhu didn't say a word. He stood there and looked at Tang Lin quietly. There was no obvious emotion on his face or eyes. He seemed calm, but also seemed dazed under shock.

This diametrically opposed interpretation makes this posture multifunctional, at least for most emergencies, you can deal with it for a few seconds first.

But on real bamboo, these few seconds don't happen.

Tang Lin understood.

Nan Ge is also clear.

"what----"

Nan Ge spontaneously sent [Mandela's Scream II] to the "bamboo" in front of him without any instructions from the captain.

The effect of the directional attack is that Tang Lin covered his ears with both hands and frowned slightly, while "Bamboo" who also instinctively covered his ears, his expression became more and more painful, and his figure and outline twisted and deformed a little bit in the scream, as if he was really It's as scary as taking off the "painted skin".

Nan Ge's scalp felt numb, and the screaming became more and more real.

Tang Lin knew that Nan Ge's attack was gradually disintegrating the opponent's mental power, and the true face of the pretender was about to be revealed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the other party's neck ring suddenly flickered—the weakening of mental power not only affects the stationery tree, but also the neck ring!

In the dark night, the flickering of the neck ring is particularly eye-catching.

Tang Lin and Nan Ge noticed it, and so did Qi Hua.

In his plan, "failure to disguise" was already the worst result, but "losing the neck ring" had never been an item.

The temple was just over twenty meters away, and he absolutely couldn't let his achievements fall by the wayside.

Only one offensive stationery was wasted.

A huge flame exploded above the heads of Nan Ge and Tang Lin.

The vision of the two of them was instantly whitened by the strong light, and they couldn't see anything. The only thing they could feel was the approaching scorching heat.

Tang Lin instinctively knocked Nan Ge out, and fell to the ground with inertia.

A large ball of flames fell to the ground behind them, and the flames "hula la" shot up very high.

After a long time, the flames gradually extinguished, and a large piece of scorched black was burned on the ground. Many people who had been wandering in front of the temple gathered around to watch the fun, but the culprit had long since disappeared in the chaos.

"Are you okay?" Tang Lin got up and went to pull Nange.

"It's okay." Nan Ge was a little unwilling, "I just didn't expect that he could still use stationery in [Mandela's Scream]."

Obviously the neck ring has already trembled, indicating that the opponent's lack of mental power has already made him unstable while screaming. Under such circumstances, Nan Ge could still insist on using disposable stationery with his mental power, which was completely unexpected by Nan Ge.

"He doesn't have the ability to be proud enough, and he doesn't dare to pretend for the second time after the first failed disguise." Tang Lin turned to look at the "straight alley" where Nan Ge and Zhuzi came from before, "But now My top priority is to quickly find the bamboo."

In the previous alleyway chase, the only way Qi Hua could attack the bamboo was to take advantage of the cover of the night and climb up to the roof of the stone house next to him, so that Tang Lin, who was pulled away from behind, thought he was still ahead, and chased him directly. He himself climbed over the roof, jumped into the alley next door, and quietly landed behind Nange and Zhuzi, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

So the bamboo must still be in the straight alley!

Without hesitation, Tang Lin led Nan Ge into the dark alley, and soon found Zheng Luozhu in a deep coma in the middle of the alley.

He was lying on his back in the middle of the road, with no injuries on his body, but his lips were purple, his breathing was weak, his whole body was extremely cold and stiff, with his hands on his chest, he could barely feel his heartbeat.

At that moment, Tang Lin and Nan Ge were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped beating.

<[Magic] full of vitality>.

Seeing the pale golden light of the healing phantom enveloping his teammates, Tang Lin felt lucky to survive the catastrophe.

Fortunately, Qi Hua still wanted to pretend, so he didn't dare to really make too much noise with Zhuzi. In addition, he had to catch up with Nan Ge in a short time, so the most likely operation was to throw a low-key, sure attack on stationery. Give the bamboo, then don't care about it, just jump over him to catch up with Nan Ge, and complete the switch without anyone noticing.

Countdown 00:10:39

Zheng Luozhu had a dream. He dreamed that he had won a billion-dollar prize. In the dream, he didn't believe it. He doubted his life against the piles of banknotes, so he slapped himself on the face, and then woke up.

When he woke up, he was in the open space in front of the temple, and beside him were the captain who stretched out his hand as if to help him, and Nan Ge.

The ring city is already completely "late at night", there is no moon, only the candlelight at the entrance of the temple, bringing a little light to the open space in front of the temple.

"What's wrong?" He grabbed Tang Rin's hand and sat up with his strength. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his cheek seemed to hurt a little.

Zheng Luozhu's bewilderment confirmed Tang Lin's judgment: "You were attacked by Qi Hua."

In the process of "awakening" his teammates, Tang Lin had already heard from Nan Ge about their love and hatred with Conan, Skeleton Bride, Qing Yise, Da Sixi, Qi Hua, and Bai Luxie, including how Qi Hua The one who threw Da Sixi into the well, Bai Luxie was so full that he wished he could grab a "Nine Links". The characters are wonderful and the plot is ups and downs.

"Yes, Qi Hua!" Zheng Luozhu remembered everything before, "What about others?"

"Sneaked into the temple in the chaos." Tang Lin raised his arm to look, and then raised his head to look into the distance. There were 10 minutes left in the countdown. Compared with Qi Hua, he cared more about Fan Peiyang who hadn't appeared yet.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Luozhu asked: "Did you watch him enter the temple?"

Nan Ge said, "That's not true."

Zheng Luozhu immediately became serious: "You forgot what Da Sixi said, in order to keep the secret of the stationery tree, Qi Hua will kill anyone who knows about his stationery tree."

"No," Tang Lin shook his head, "According to what Nan Ge said, he didn't know that Da Sixi was not dead. Since Da Sixi is dead, the message '[Painted Skin]=Qi Hua' doesn't exist. In our Here, it is only confirmed that there is a passer-by whose stationery tree ability is transformation, but no one knows who the passer-by is, so he is safe."

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

The team leader is the team leader, with clear logic and reasonable inferences.

"But I'm still worried about him." Zheng Luozhu had a stubborn vigilance.

"What are you worried about?" The familiar voice and footsteps came from far to near.

The three looked up together.

Fan Peiyang.

A crisp jacket, casual jeans, trendy sneakers.

If you forget the outfit he wore before the four of them separated, this is a standard airport street style staly, energetic, western style, and still retains a trace of elegance and decency in his own temperament.

But Zheng Luozhu can't forget it, so he is a little confused now: "..."

Boss or Painted Skin, that is the question.

The author has something to say: He is here again...
