Split personality
Chapter 174 The Clock Tower's Secret
Su Mo quickly found Ghost Mian, who was seriously injured as expected, and was very vigilant about Su Mo's arrival.
Vigilance is vigilance, and the ghost face is still willing to show up, which is already a great improvement.Of course, part of the reason is that Ghost Mian still trusts Su Mo more than the other two.
Believe in trust, at least it is impossible for Ghost Face to return to the team until most of his injuries have recovered.
In fact, not to mention Ghost-Mian himself, even Su Mo couldn't guarantee whether Liont would take advantage of Ghost-Mian's serious injury to do something secretly.
Of course, the script has just begun after all, if Ghost Face can't recover its combat power as soon as possible, it will be very unfavorable to their future situation.Although Su Mo believes that Ghost Mian also has some hole cards in his hand, but the hole cards can only be used as a last resort, and naturally the later the better.Therefore, with the reluctant cooperation of Ghost Face, Su Mo tried to use the healing function of death poker to help him heal his injuries.
As a sub-legendary sacred weapon, Death Poker's healing ability is not as good as that of priests and priests, but it is better than Ghost Face recovering slowly by itself.Most importantly, with Ghost Face's suspicious personality, it is impossible for him to agree to let Ke Lao help him heal.
After reuniting with Ghost Face, the two were not in a hurry to find Ke Lao and the others, but went to the center of the city that never sleeps - the tower as planned.
After the black mist dissipated, the towering towers in the center of the city were very conspicuous.This tower is not available in the previous city that never sleeps, and the bell is also coming from the tower. They reasonably suspect that the tower is not simple.
This is indeed the case. Although the lights in the city that never sleeps are on, the two of Su Mo did not meet too many people along the way.Right in front of the tower was a huge square. When the two arrived near the tower, they were startled by a crowd of people in the square.
Is there some kind of ceremony being held?
The two originally wanted to hide their figures, but when they stepped into the square, the bell rang again from the top of the tower.At the same time, Su Mo's body was shocked, and his body flickered with a faint white light inexplicably!
The citizens of the city that never sleeps looked at Su Mo one after another, with obvious excitement on their faces!
After a while of hustle and bustle, the crowd gradually gave way, and a thin middle-aged man hurried over.
"Respected Lord City Master, you are finally back!" The middle-aged man looked ordinary, and his face was abnormally white, as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time.
The man walked hurriedly, with obvious excitement on his face.He came to Su Mo's side, saluted first, and then stepped forward to grab Su Mo's hand.
The plot changes too fast, how can Su Mo let outsiders get close?Immediately took a few steps back and looked at the man warily.
The man also realized that his behavior was very inappropriate, so he apologized again and again, and invited Su Mo to walk with him to the high platform in front of the tower.
Passing through the narrow path made by the crowd, Su Mo had already seen a very bloody scene on the high platform - a huge werewolf, and it was also the most advanced blood wolf, crawling on the ground.Half of his neck was cut off, and blood kept oozing out, staining half of the high platform red.
When the middle-aged man called himself 'City Lord', Su Mo guessed that his title of 'Creation' in the city that never sleeps played a role.The reason why it was recognized must be related to the mysterious ancient clock hanging on the highest point of the tower.
However, with the world-class script of Zhongmao, with Su Mo's strength, let alone kill the pursuers of Shanhai, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to complete the task of the script safely.Wasn't the reason why they chose this place as the main battlefield because of the existence of the city that never sleeps and the blood elves?
Before entering the script, several people thought about how to use the 'power' of the city that never sleeps.After all, although he and Leant have the title of 'Creation' of the city that never sleeps, but the title is just a title, whether it will work or not, and how much it will work, no one can say for sure before entering the script.
Fortunately, they were spotted by the clock tower when they first came to the city that never sleeps. They don't have to try their best to prove their identities. This is a good thing for the doomsday mercenary group. Naturally, Su Mo would not refuse the middle-aged man's invitation.
While following the middle-aged man to the high platform, Su Mo glanced around him without a trace - the ghost face had disappeared when the bell rang, and he didn't know whether it was leaving or hiding around.
Su Mo wanted to tell Mr. Ke and Liont about the changes in the clock tower, but found that Ghost Face had already sent a message before him, and also told Su Mo that he had sneaked into the tower while everyone was paying attention to him!
What a relief...
The ghost face cooperated so tacitly that Su Mo sighed in his heart.
Although the four of them didn't trust each other, they had to admit that the only ones who could form such a tacit cooperation with themselves or even do better without any instructions were Ke Lao, Ghost Mian and Leant.
Su Mo believed that if the four of them could become truly trusting companions, the effect would be very, very terrifying.
Unfortunately……
The ghost face has already entered the clock tower, Su Mo believes that without his instructions, the ghost face will definitely check whether there are hidden dangers inside.And he doesn't need to worry about whether Ke Lao and the others can cooperate. I believe that Ke Lao and Leant will definitely make the most favorable choice in the face of this change.
At this moment, Su Mo only needs to concentrate on dealing with the middle-aged man.
"This is?"
Walking up to the high platform and looking at the dying blood wolf, Su Mo asked a question at the right time.
"Respected Lord City Lord, he has committed an unforgivable sin."
The middle-aged man bowed to Su Mo again, then looked at the blood wolf and sighed: "For 50 years, the people of my night city have been looking forward to the return of the city lord day and night! Now that you finally come back, he listened to the slander and took the risk from nowhere. The mercenary group that came out conspired to harm the city lord and your partner. He is a sinner in the city that never sleeps, and he should be punished for the sins he committed!"
Having said that, but who is Su Mo, how can he not hear the implication of the middle-aged man?
If you really want to kill the blood wolf, you can do it with one knife, instead of cutting off half of the neck to make a miserable show, and waiting for Su Mo to show up.
Su Mo didn't know the identity of the blood wolf, but from the unbearable flash in the middle-aged man's eyes, he could deduce that the blood wolf must have something to do with him.
The middle-aged man has an unusual status in the city that never sleeps. Although he has admitted his status as the 'lord of the city', he is a newcomer after all, so obviously there are still many places to rely on him.
Although it can be guessed that the middle-aged man recognized him so unacceptably, there must be something for him, even if he chooses not to save the blood wolf, the middle-aged man has nothing to do.But in order to ensure that everything goes well in the future, Su Mo still chooses to be 'merciful' once.
"I don't know what your name is?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and said, "Old servant Norton, see the city lord."
Norton?What is it with Noah?
Su Mo nodded and said, "Those who don't know are not to blame. After all, we came suddenly, and he was also deceived by the villain... Now that the villain has not been arrested, why not spare his life and let him take the crime and make meritorious deeds?"
Nuo Dun was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The city master is merciful, and Nuo Dun should obey orders."
As he said that, he hurriedly ordered people to lift the blood wolf off the high platform.
Let go of the blood wolf is not only to buy people's hearts, but more importantly, it is to block the only escape route of the Huya mercenary group.
Although we still don't know what Huya's main mission is, judging from their ability to use the Werewolves of the Nightless City to attack the Doomsday, it is clear that they have grasped a lot of "powers" in the Nightless City, and the main mission must also be related to the Nightless City.
Now that he is wearing the identity of 'city lord', as an attacker, Huya has naturally become an enemy of the city that never sleeps.Now that he 'mercifully' let go of the people who were deceived by the enemy, no matter what task Huya wants to complete in the city that never sleeps, it will become extremely difficult.
Naturally, Su Mo's purpose was not to get rid of Huya, but to drive Huya to a dead end, and finally had to choose to join forces with them.After all, mastering the city that never sleeps is just one of them. After all, this world is dominated by elves, and the line of blood elves is the most important thing!
Having said that, the city that never sleeps is their trump card and the way out. Before completing the main task of the blood elves, the hidden dangers of the city that never sleeps must be dealt with.
Looking at the excited eyes with anticipation under the high platform, Su Mo guessed that something unknown must have happened during the 50 years since Evernight City entered the "Elf Lost Trail".And in all likelihood, it is related to Cain and Satan, and of course, it may also be related to him and Ryan.
After the blood wolf was taken away, Norton calmed down the excited and uneasy citizens of the Nightless City before leading Su Mo into the clock tower.
The clock tower is not as dark as Su Mo imagined. Apart from the bright oil lamps, there are also a few shining night pearls hanging on the roof.
The interior of the bell tower implies heaven and earth, and it seems that the structure of each layer is different.
For some reason, after Su Mo entered the clock tower, he felt a faint sense of discomfort in his heart.But as you go higher and higher, this discomfort becomes less and less.
What's weird about the base of the clock tower?
Unable to guess, Su Mo didn't say much.
Following Norton, the two soon came to the fifth floor, where they could overlook the entire city that never sleeps through the window.It wasn't until this time that Su Mo realized that the entire night sky of the city that never sleeps was shrouded in a faint blood mist.
"My lord, you must have a lot of questions in your mind, right? But before solving your questions, could you ask your companion to show up first?"
Surprised, Su Mo turned to the dark stairway behind him following Nodu's gaze.
After a while, a human figure appeared faintly at the top of the stairs, who else could it be if it wasn't a ghost face?
How does this guy know Ghost Face is here?
To be honest, even Su Mo himself didn't realize that the ghost face was following them all the time!
After the ghost face appeared, he looked at Norton warily.Seeing Su Mo's gaze, he just nodded and didn't approach.
"Hehe, the city lord doesn't have to worry. The old servant has signed an agreement with the clock tower. Anyone who enters the clock tower cannot escape the old servant's eyes."
The moment Ghost Face entered the tower, Norton spotted him.The reason why I didn't point it out is because Ghost Mian is Su Mo's friend.More importantly, no matter who entered the bell tower, Norton had enough confidence to trap or even eliminate him.
Norton pointed out the existence of the ghost face, as if to show his sincerity, but the result he got was just the opposite.
Regardless of the ghost face that appeared, or Su Mo, who had been calm all the time, almost simultaneously felt murderous intent towards Norton, and the two even took out their own soul-killing souls at the same time!
Norton didn't expect that his overtures would have the opposite effect.It's not his fault, after all, Norton is a normal person, how can he guess the thinking of a psychopath?
If it weren't for Su Mo's title of 'Creation' in the city that never sleeps, and Norton did not do anything to hurt the two of them, the two of them would have already made a move!
Of course, there was another and the most important reason why the two didn't make a move: the uncomfortable feeling that made Su Mo uneasy.
He had already asked about the ghost face, and it seemed that only he could feel this uncomfortable feeling, and the ghost face didn't feel it.If the ghost face had noticed it earlier, it would have warned Su Mo a long time ago, how could it be possible to allow him to enter the tower?
Vigilance is vigilance, and the ghost face is still willing to show up, which is already a great improvement.Of course, part of the reason is that Ghost Mian still trusts Su Mo more than the other two.
Believe in trust, at least it is impossible for Ghost Face to return to the team until most of his injuries have recovered.
