Five minutes.
Just when everyone's psychological defenses were about to reach their limit.
With a bang, the lights in the arena came on again, and a bright beam of light shone on the center of the stage, where a vocal choir had somehow appeared and was now standing in neat rows.
The light changed from dark to bright.
The chilling presence that had been hovering around them just a moment ago vanished without a trace.
The monster returned to its seat as if nothing had happened, but the bloody handprints left on everyone's bodies silently testified to the horror that had just occurred.
Fortunately, all of them had strong mental fortitude.
Su Bai gave a heads-up beforehand.
Even Su Siyao, the only non-professional among them, did not make the slightest mistake.
"It's alright now."
Su Bai turned around and comforted everyone.
A faint light flashed across his body, and the passive effect of the Holy Necklace activated automatically, washing away the bloodstains covering his body.
Ning Hongchen, who was standing right behind him, immediately brightened up.
"Get me one too!"
"..."
Su Bai remained silent, but still took the initiative to clean up the filth for the group. After this little incident, everyone's mental threshold was greatly improved, and they had a smooth journey ahead.
We arrived backstage at the theater.
There were two paths in front of us: one led to the actors' dressing rooms and dressing rooms, and the other led up the stairs to the upper floors of the opera house.
Su Bai took out the ballet tutu that she had found in the tax official's bedroom.
He said to Ning Hongchen and Su Siyao:
"Next, one of you will need to change into this outfit."
"The hidden door corresponding to this key is in the women's changing room, where men are prohibited from entering. If you force your way in, it will trigger a battle, so it's best to avoid this situation for now."
He explained.
Actually, he didn't need to go through all this trouble when he came here before.
Back then, players basically used the Opera House as a large leveling ground. Every time the dungeon opened, more than a dozen full squads would come together, tacitly clearing out all the monsters before starting to search for supplies.
Thousands of monsters gathered in one place.
Apart from this place, you can hardly find another place as unique as this in the entire game.
My experience points are skyrocketing.
The opera house was gradually abandoned when most players reached level 30 or higher and killing low-level monsters no longer gave experience.
However, it is also the best place for many new players to level up in the early stages.
I remember back then, quite a few professional teams came here to do brush-related business.
A boss position can even sell for thousands of yuan.
This place is also suitable for a few people who are still in the twenties to level up, but it would take at least an hour to clear out these thousands of monsters, and the group doesn't have that much time to waste.
"I've never been able to wear this kind of women's clothing since I was a child."
Ning Hongchen pursed his lips.
Su Siyao said helplessly, "I'll do it."
After saying that, she took the ballet skirt, chose it as her fashion item, and used it to completely cover up the appearance of her equipment.
"Go in and search the hidden door, then come out. Be careful to avoid fighting." Then Su Bai said to Jiu Ming and Mo Yu, "Go and search the lockers in the men's changing room."
"And you?"
They asked.
"There's an elite monster in the storage room. I'll just go and take care of it. It won't take too much time."
Su Bai said.
After finalizing the plan, everyone set to work.
The five people dispersed on the spot, and they went to the locker room in pairs. Su Bai went straight ahead, and after turning a corner, he saw a door covered in blood and with a conspicuous seal on it.
Buzz!
A bright flame shone on the holy sword.
Su Bai swung his holy sword and gently slashed the seal on the door, cutting it off. Then, he slowly pushed the door inward.
Inside was a spacious storage warehouse.
As soon as the door opened, Su Bai, even though he was prepared, still took a small step back.
On a tall shelf directly opposite him were heads in varying degrees of decay.
Some were already skeletal, while others remained lifelike, their faces frozen in the terror of their deaths, their wide, lifeless eyes staring at the doorway, at the spot where they stood.
This scene was truly chilling.
The lights dispelled the darkness in the warehouse.
Behind this shelf were rows of identical, cold metal racks, on which were displayed either mutilated human limbs or bloody and horrifying organ parts.
It's like a large department store.
only.
The items sold here are all chilling.
Deep inside the warehouse, in the darkness beyond the reach of the light, half of a blood-stained workbench was exposed. A tall, bulky figure stood in the shadows, seemingly busy with something, unaware of his arrival.
Around this workbench stood stiff figures.
They were dressed in various costumes for performances, and their limbs seemed to be pieced together haphazardly, giving them an extremely discordant feel.
Like flawed products made by a puppeteer.
"Hmm!"
As soon as Su Bai entered the warehouse, the monster in the darkness sensed him and suddenly raised its head to look over.
A deformed and ugly head slowly emerged from the shadows. Its face was aged, like that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man. Its squinting eyes were mistaken for wrinkles on its forehead, and its open mouth was actually at the throat, causing its entire head to bob up and down as it spoke.
"Fresh material...hehehe...go and bring him to me..."
It laughed strangely.
Instantly.
The distorted, stiff figures around him began to move like puppets, limping as they gradually approached Su Bai.
Holy sword energy!
Swish, swish, swish!
Su Bai wielded the holy sword with both hands, unleashing a broad golden sword aura that instantly shredded the puppets in front of him. The remaining power of the sword aura did not diminish, continuing forward, illuminating the darkness deep within the warehouse, and also striking the monster.
-7963!
-7908!
...
Damage numbers appeared.
But there was no health bar.
At the same time, the two puppets that were far from Su Bai suddenly disintegrated on their own, and dirty pieces of flesh were scattered all over the ground.
This is yet another monster with damage transfer capabilities.
The puppets filling the arena are its substitutes.
To kill it.
All the puppets on the field must be cleared out.
This wasn't difficult for Su Bai; the only thing he had to be careful about was not making too much noise and attracting the attention of the monsters outside.
Avoid using defensive tower spells if possible.
but.
The inherent properties of the Demon-Sealing Holy Sword are enough for him to deal with the current situation.
Moreover, Su Bai chose the simplest solution: directly attacking the monster's main body and letting the transferred damage clear out the puppets on the field. This was much more convenient than him searching for them one by one.
-7948!
Suddenly, a scarlet health bar lit up in the darkness.
"You awful..."
The monster let out a painful roar.
But the next moment, Su Bai suddenly disappeared from the spot. A golden streak of light flashed by like lightning. Su Bai raised the holy sword that was shining brightly and chopped off the monster's head with a single strike!
