Chapter 009 The Four

With a clang, ashes filled with a strange fragrance scattered all over the lake. The ashes that had absorbed water sank to the bottom of the lake in pieces. The half-burned incense had been extinguished and was half floating and half sinking on the lake.

Tarona kicked over the bronze tripod on the altar, and the twelve tightly sealed coffins finally loosened a little. Because of the comfort of the breath of blood relatives, the twelve ghosts did not move immediately, but this was only temporary.

The nun in black and white sat on the altar, with her legs crossed, one hand supporting her chin and the other hand tapping the edge of the table from time to time.

She seemed to have entered a misunderstanding.

Tarona is unwilling to have any deep involvement with the people in the mission world. This is due to her frequent dealings with the Bat Family. She prefers to work alone rather than cooperate - because she can do whatever she wants. The whole world is in chaos, so she doesn't matter.

Another important reason is that the world consciousness of the Anglo-American world has been in a state of chaos for many years, and it is easy for him to accidentally injure his personnel, so efficiency is very important.

It’s too slow to make plans, so it’s better to just rush into it.

What's more, Theseus's level is higher than Batman and Superman's artificial intelligence, so she can get their intelligence for free.

But now that she is in the world of martial arts, interacting with the Son of Fortune can indeed enhance her perception of abnormalities... although it is not as obvious as finding mutants.

Compared with the Anglo-American world, the difficulty of the missions in the martial arts world is indeed decreasing sharply, because here, her strength is absolute, and she is the only extraordinary person in this world except for the abnormal.

But life always has some extra difficulties.

Talona opened the panel and looked at the range marked on it, and she let out a short sigh.

The scope defined by world consciousness for her was the entire Song Dynasty.

At that time, Tarona:

Okay, let’s just take the entire Song Dynasty.

The place where she landed before was right at the border of the Song Dynasty.

This scope is much wider than the combined Anglo-American world. In the past, she could determine who the protagonist of the current mission world was based on which superhero had stronger luck, and then target the search scope at the city where the superhero was located.

The anomaly will always target the protagonist, after all, it is there to plunder the fortune.

But now...

There are four protagonists in this world, and they are fluid. Wuqing is the one closest to Tarona.

And the most important difference is that there is no Internet in the world of Multiplayer. Without access to the Internet, Theseus can only detect a limited range.

Tarona: ...

Tsk, it’s really inconvenient without internet.

“Direct-to-the-point efficiency no longer works.”

The people in the martial arts world are not as experienced as the people in the Anglo-American world. They are used to seeing all kinds of monsters and ghosts and fighting back. Their evasion and survival skills are maxed out. [Blood Nun] This ghost-like vest card that is obviously not a good person will probably scare many ordinary people once it appears in the public eye, so it is better to keep a low profile.

Next time, change to one that looks good and is human, maybe she can even pretend to be a god, which will make it much more convenient for her to do things.

I should have brought an extra vest card earlier.

Tarona stood up from the altar and moved her limbs casually. "I need to make a plan."

Theseus pulled up a blank document: [This should be your first complete plan. It is very memorable.]

In the past, when his partner talked about making plans, they were mostly short-lived and casual, at most a flash of inspiration or a spur-of-the-moment idea, not a real plan.

Now that they were making plans so seriously, it could only mean one thing—

[Have you decided to take on the series of missions in the Martial Arts World, Ms. Ta?]

Partners always understand each other best.

[Very interesting, isn't it?]

Keeping things fresh is also part of a happy life.

Tarona moved his wrists, clenching and relaxing his slender fingers several times. Suddenly, a ball of deep red flame with a hint of smoke appeared in the air and danced happily in his palm.

Looking more closely, one could see a group of tiny, dust-like insects circling in the center of the flames.

These flying insects have big heads and small bodies, nine legs and seven wings, are completely red, and have a mouth full of shark teeth. They are the infamous Devouring Locusts in black magic.

They eat everything, as long as it is magical, as long as it can provide them with energy, no matter what, it can become their food.

Tarona is the best at forbidden techniques, and she has a lot of little things like this.

She wanted the Devouring Locusts to eat up the magic circle, including the coffins that sealed the twelve ghosts.

The guest becomes the host and the early bird catches the worm.

If I touch your cake, will you not come to me?

Talona's intuition told her that this circle would not be the only one.

She needs the Devouring Locust to eat the magic circle, then extract the power in the magic circle from the Devouring Locust's stomach, and finally use this power to find more existing magic circles.

Although her magic cannot cover the entire Song Dynasty, she can still save as many people as possible.

It takes time for the Devouring Locusts to eat the magic circle and the coffin. During this period, Tarona decided to ask for help from outside the field.

She is an officer who is based in the Anglo-American world, but she has a good friend who has been to basically every world.

Yes, it was her good friend who was in social turmoil and whimpered all day long, Xiang Liujing.

The communication was connected, and the background was the decoration of the unified dormitory of the officers of the Space-Time Balance Bureau. Has another mission been completed?

Tarona immediately became interested, and Dajing's expression looked very interesting.

But when it comes to the vest card, the witch's expression becomes exactly the same as her friend's.

What a tiankeng vest!

She is a young witch, but she has experienced the surge of maternal love in advance.

Bah, the technical department is really asking for a beating.

Therefore, the two reached a consensus on whether or not Didi should take over the ride.

Tarona found a random tree, sat down and ate some sunflower seeds while asking, "Do you have any suggestions for my current situation?"

Xiang Liujing got out of bed, went to the refrigerator and got a piece of bread. While eating, he said: "When I was in the acting department, I always had a script, which was much easier. Now... I can only say that changes are always faster than plans."

After complaining in his mind for the nth time about how hard it was to find mutants, he swallowed the bread in his mouth and said, "My advice to you is probably the same as Theseus's - stay calm and don't waste time."

Otherwise, how can we say we are good friends?

They are the ones who understand each other best.

When Tarona asked this question, she already had a rough plan in her mind. She was just hesitating whether to do it. After all, the mission world was different, and she was worried that it would have negative effects.

In such a world of silence, supernatural powers and chaos, the killing power of the "Blood Nun" should not be too great.

What's more, she has the blessing of this great witch.

In some ways, she is more conspicuous than abnormal.

And Xiang Liujing approved her plan.

"Just go for it. As long as you don't overdo it, someone will back you up."

Thinking about the background of the Space-Time Balance Bureau, Tarona felt relieved immediately.

The test was over, and she could now indulge herself in a reserved way.

After hanging up the call, Tarona jumped down from the tree, her black and white skirt fluttering like a butterfly.

[Theseus, activate the item I bought before and calculate the value of the world consciousness's unconscious attack on me. If the item can't hold up, buy more.]

She is going to start having fun.

【receive.】

At this moment, the Devouring Locust was only one bite away from devouring the entire magic circle.

…

Over there, Tarona was touching someone's cake, and over here, Wuqing also started to take action.

In the middle of the night, Golden Sword and Silver Sword, who should have been fast asleep, climbed over the courtyard wall in their night clothes. One of them went towards Ri Zheng's house, while the other ran towards the valley shrouded in poisonous fog with a clear purpose.

The whole town is keeping the same secret. It's hard to trick adults, but isn't it also easy to trick children?

The baby-faced silver sword successfully penetrated into the children's hearts with just a few strings of candied haws.

He didn't ask anything else, just asked where there were fun places in Yanggu Town. He said that he loved to play and would be leaving in a few days, so it was a good opportunity to go for a walk these days.

The children who were bribed by Tanghulu were talking about their secret bases. Silver Sword even discussed with them seriously where was more fun. For example, he liked eating fish, so he thought the riverside was more fun.

After hearing this, the uncles and aunts who were pretending to be passing by gradually let down their guard and really thought that he was just a playful young man who wanted to take advantage of these few days to go out and play by themselves.

Silver Sword spent the whole morning asking around, and pieced together the same news from several groups of children, news that was unknown to outsiders—

The adults didn't allow the children to play in the valley to the southwest.

Why is it inaccurate? Of course, it’s because there are harmful things in there.

To put on a full show, Silver Sword took a stroll by the river, brought back a few fish, and asked Lady Luo to make braised fish for him.

After dinner, he told Wuqing the news.

Wuqing pondered for a moment, then made a prompt decision to take action at night.

They couldn't delay any longer; the people in the town were keeping a closer eye on them, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

Li Zheng had not returned yet, so Jin Jian went straight to the study. The room was neatly arranged, and he searched among the bookshelves quietly. There was no sound outside the door, as if everyone in the mansion was asleep.

However, Jin Jian did not know that the servants patrolling the palace were not simple. Although they had no internal strength and did not know martial arts, they could hear and see everything. Any unusual movement in the palace could not escape their ears and eyes.

The reason why the golden sword has not been discovered yet is because he is protected by a magic cage.

Not only does he have it, but Wuqing and Silver Sword also have it, but they are all in an inactivated state.

This magic will only be activated when they are attacked, and the alchemical dolls left by Tarona will instantly enter combat mode to protect the three fragile humans before the creator arrives.

As expected, Silver Sword encountered a mysterious wall when heading to the valley.

This ghost wall was quite advanced, with a different scene at every turn, making Silver Sword think that he was moving forward normally until he turned back to the river that ran through Yanggu Town.

Silver Sword:……

Silver Sword couldn't help shivering, he didn't even realize that he was spinning in circles.

Is it Qimen Dunjia?

No.

Silver Sword looked around. This was definitely not Qimen Dunjia.

Although he only knew a little about it, he had learned a lot from the young master and had some basic knowledge of Qimen Dunjia.

If this is Qi Men Dun Jia, then the person who set up this game is definitely not an ordinary person.

What is in that valley?

Silver Sword hesitated for a while, then turned around and went back home. He had to tell the young master everything, as this was no longer something he could decide.

The young man had not walked for long when a sedan appeared on the other side of the river, on a road that was barely wide enough for two carriages.

Four big men were carrying it, and on the tip of the sedan chair were four lanterns with a red background and black characters, a big Chinese character "林".

This is exactly the sedan chair in Lizheng.

He actually came back early.
