Oracle of Terra

"I am more inclined to the old-fashioned black box operation."

"Well, it's us in the end!"

As the group leader, Sona led several group members to draw lots in front of Lei Wen.

"Oh, I'm with Grenadi."

Aivona glanced at the 'soul' lottery in her and Grenadi's hands, glanced at the 'wolf' lottery in Justina's hand, and then looked at the 'blood' lottery with a bitter face Sona looked at her team members.

"come on."

"Would Xiaohui let you trade with Maria?"

"This is also fate, accept your fate, Sona."

Aivona shook the 'soul' lottery in her hand with a earnest expression. The head of the Red Pine Knights will face two teams from the Sarkaz. The only one who deserves peace of mind is probably Ma Liya is someone who is about the same age as me.

"Oh, please give me some advice."

Scratching her head, Flame Tail Knight decided that it would be better to face the Victoria Mobile City represented by the 'blood' signature seriously with her teammates. Anyway, she only had some bad premonitions.

After witnessing the grouping, Telles, who didn't plan to be a narrator this time, began to consider the NPC candidates for each story. He felt that it was okay to mix some of his own private goods, since it was all a dream anyway.

So... which team's suffering journey will start first.

Although it is said that the soul game will no longer be tortured after having brothers, Telles decided to increase the intensity based on the number of these girls, which must be quite interesting.

437. Blood (two chapters in one)

【Death is permeating, a Victorian mobile city that fell into carnival and bloody riots under the darkness of night. The residents here raised the pitchforks in their hands and hanged the mayor. All this came from a kind of excavated from the ruins Old blood, beware of blood, outsiders, they represent horrors from the unknown. 】

"Is that supposed to be the backstory?"

Sona glanced at the note on the table, and frowned. Although the house was made of wood, she could smell the strong smell of disinfectant and a sweet smell of blood.

"Who cares, but if it's interesting as a training ground, there are no weapons."

Naturally, W was dressed in casual clothes, while Sona, Shining and Maria even wore their usual private clothes. They remembered that they were still fully armed when they entered the gate of the black tower with those tickets in hand. But now all the weapons hidden all over his body have been confiscated, not to mention how uncomfortable W is.

As for Shining, she was still calm in the black robe, but she was a little uncomfortable with the loss of her staff and sword.

"Looks like we have to raise some weapons first?"

Maria, who had experienced the previous 'closed beta', naturally understood that the dream prepared by Telles would not be as simple as an amusement park, with powerful enemies and an uncomfortable environment.

"Is the situation you two experienced before consistent with this?"

"No, no, no, I woke up in the cemetery before, and then went to an outlying fortress to fight with a group of undead and a big bug for about three days before being sent to the town. The experience ended here."

"I dealt with some black-armored knights with my sister and Justina, and then we went to the town together, and after waiting for about three days, we waited for Sona and the others."

"Three days?"

Listening to what the two said, W wondered if this was a dream. How could there be such a clear passage of time?

"Yes, the passage of time here seems to be different from the outside world."

"No wonder you can play and train at the same time..."

Based on his knowledge of spells and some things that Telles talked about before, W also made his own conjecture, probably because the souls or consciousness of all the people here were taken into this environment by Telles in some way. Tempering brings the combat experience gained into reality at the same time, and the same is true for some special experiences, but the body itself will not change, and at the same time, the consciousness will probably be loaded to a certain extent. If it exceeds a certain limit, I am afraid it will Get hit hard in this dream.

I hope that Old Antique has the bottom line in his heart to ask so many people to engage in "team building". I hope he can take care of it himself.

"The things kept in the container here... seem to be some kind of biological tissue?"

Shining looked at the bottles and cans, looking at the filled bottles and cloudy solution, soaked and whitish certain substances, after opening the cork, a foul smell came out.

"Ugh... I said can't you stop tinkering with those things?"

This taste is too real.

W frowned a little unhappily, and then took a few big steps back.

"Feel sorry."

Although she was apologizing, Shining had no intention of restraining herself at all. After closing the container, she opened the cabinet and got some bottles filled with bright red liquid, with Victorian words like 'blood collection bottle' written on it.

"Hey, you won't..."

——Boom

Shining ignored W's voice and uncorked the bottle, but this time it wasn't the stench like before, but a sweet aroma that was as sweet as the bloody smell lingering in the clinic.

"?"

W wondered if he was playing a blood demon in this dream?

"What is this outfit?"

Maria also leaned over curiously, after all, it smells good.

"blood."

Shining re-corked the bottle, and then looked at the old-fashioned syringe that was placed with the container. It was placed in such an old cabinet, but it looked so brand-new.

"Uh...."

After hearing the word 'blood', Maria's expression changed slightly, and then she remembered the ticket of their group. It was the sign with the word 'blood' written on it. The low and hoarse narration heard after waking up, the theme of the dream they experienced probably has something to do with blood.

"The role we play is probably an 'outsider'? In the previous dream, Xiao Hui and I played soldiers. Oh... I am an unlucky guy who woke up from the cemetery."

Thinking of this, Sona couldn't help sighing, and after W heard it, she began to analyze the situation. She took out the bottle of blood again, and was about to taste it herself, but this action was stopped by the Shining Spirit.

"what happened?"

"Beware of the blood."

"Anyway, it's just a dream. Drink a little and you won't really die."

Ignoring Shining's stop, she shook off Dr. Sarkaz's hand, and poured the bottle of blood into her mouth nonchalantly.

"Wow..."

Seeing the bloody liquid flowing into her throat, Maria was disgusted. To be honest, apart from eating and chatting with W every day about artisans, it was the first time she knew that this Sarkaz girl had such courage.

Of course, a certain Sarkaz female mercenary is just a student of Telles in Maria's eyes, and she is almost incompatible with those notorious Sarkaz mercenaries, but if Xinteliya is here, There is no doubt about W's actions, after all, she is a crazy woman.

"It tastes good."

Looking at the empty bottle in his hand, W feels the sticky feeling in his throat. To be honest, it doesn't feel good to just drink it like this. Of course, it's only limited to the taste. In fact, the taste of this bottle of sweet blood is not bad.

But soon, she felt a fever.

"Well?!"

The field of vision was suddenly filled with bright red, and in her field of vision, there were some small monsters emitting strange light all over the place, constantly climbing up from her feet towards her body.

Hallucinogenic?

W couldn't help but feel helpless about that old antique's bad taste, but soon, she found that in her eyes, her hands became sharp, and she felt itchy and frizzy all over her body, as if she had grown hair.

"W?"

"Even if this is a dream, I think it's better not to drink... well, it's an afterthought."

Seeing W with a painful expression and wide-eyed anger, Shining and Sonai showed completely different attitudes. Dr. Sarkaz wanted to hold down his compatriot, but Sona wanted to see how the situation would change After all, most of the things she ate in this dream were normal, and it was the first time I saw someone like W drinking blood directly.

"Don't lean in!"

"?"

Shining originally wanted to subdue W to give her a physical examination, but her pupils were dilated, as if they were flickering with a faint light, and her eyes were focused on her feet.

"Is there a hallucinogenic effect?"

"Sister Shining, do you want my help?"

"I'll help you too, she really doesn't look well."

"Trouble both of you."

Although it was caused by W himself, the other two didn't mind helping this Sarkaz female mercenary who usually spoke eccentrically but was quite nice.

So after a lot of fuss, they fixed W on the operating table, making her unable to move.

"Have you noticed that she has become stronger?"

"A little..."

Maria and Sona, who had fought against W, could understand that her wrist strength seemed to be much stronger than when they fought, and the red-haired Knight Zarak was almost thrown to the ceiling by her just now.

"Huh... ha..."

And W, who seemed to have fallen into some kind of hallucination, seemed to calm down after a while, and her slack pupils regained her senses. She shook her head and looked at the three people who were watching her after she was fixed on the operating table. .

"I... didn't turn into some hairy monster, did I?"

"No."

The Shining probably checked her, and it probably looked like she was under a hallucinogenic effect after being poisoned.

"Then let me loose."

"Uh...."

Sona felt that it took a lot of effort to tie this guy up, and it seemed a bit of a loss to let go of it like this.

"What did you just see before letting go of you?"

"There were a bunch of little glowing monsters crawling up on me and then my fingers turned into claws and I was still growing hair, but after the little monsters suffocated me, I came back to my senses so I could let go ?"

W's annoyed expression made Shining think about something.

"Hey!"

"Maria, let her go, I need her to test something."

"no problem."

W looks sane now, but Maria is not afraid, and after being released, W also felt a little uncomfortable moving his body.

"So, what does that look on your face mean, Shining?"

"According to the narration of His Excellency Raven at the very beginning, we can know that there is something wrong with the blood. Although you swallowed it indifferently, as a result, it seems that you have fallen into some kind of crisis, but what you said The glowing little monster should get you through this."

"Suffocate me through it?"

"Judging from the symptoms, maybe you have fallen into a state of 'beastization', and those little glowing monsters brought you back to reality before you completely fell into madness, and the things hidden in that bottle of blood may be bigger than ours. It's much more interesting to imagine, probably some kind of clue to the truth of this 'game'."

"What you said is the same thing. If I didn't drink, wouldn't I have no clue at all?"

"No...maybe we'll be able to confirm something that corroborates our clues right away."

Shining narrowed his eyes and looked at the half-closed door of the room. At this moment, a sharp claw pushed the door open.

"........."

"Wolf?"

Maria looked at the monster with gleaming red eyes and opened its bloody mouth to drool, and couldn't help swallowing. Although their strength is not bad at the moment, facing such a ferocious monster, they are defenseless. It seems that it is not easy to handle.

And seeing this monster, W seemed to understand what Shining meant by 'beast transformation', and the frizzy feeling seemed to come back again.

And this werewolf monster will not wait for the reaction of the four.

The sharp claws moved forward, as if they could disembowel a person in an instant, and the target was Sona who was closest to it.

"Why am I the unlucky one again?!"

Although the little squirrel complained, she didn't panic. After all, she had learned unarmed combat from Lin Yuxia all this time, so she didn't just let her watch it. With one grab, she circled to the side of the monster and punched it.

"it hurts!"

But the monster's hair was thick, as if it was covered with a layer of soft armor, and the hair was as sharp as a needle, and the fist it punched out was also stabbed a little at this moment.

"run."

Shining made the fastest judgment, while W picked up the stool next to him and smashed it.

It's not a good idea to deal with such an agile monster in this cramped clinic.

"Ow!!"

After W slammed it once, the monster's attention was attracted. Seeing this, Maria hurriedly took Sona, who was in pain, and ran out, followed by Shining.
