Chapter 211 [Eternal Night]
As expected, Eugene and his friends arrived at the town safely.
After noting down the rules of the town, Eugene and the other two quickly completed the purchasing task.
Christie looked at the bag in his hand and laughed angrily: "We got up in the middle of the night, traveled for over an hour down the mountain, and all for this little thing?"
It's not that Chris is acting like a spoiled brat. He was already dissatisfied when he saw those two rules.
They are here to perform exorcisms, not to be babysitters!
Are you kidding me!?
"There's nothing we can do about it. Rules are the best." Eugene said with a cold snort.
Hicks didn't continue the topic. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Are you going to the mayor's house?"
"No need. The mayor is not here, and we have already obtained all the information we can get." said Christie.
After a moment's silence, Eugene expressed his interest in the hunter named Tred.
Unfortunately, they didn't know where the hunter lived.
"Then let's go back first."
Seeing that the discussion was fruitless, Hicks made a suggestion.
To be honest, because of what happened in the castle last night, he was very worried about what would happen during the day.
He wasn't the only one with this concern, Eugene and Christie agreed.
So far, few players have been eliminated, but an ominous premonition has been lingering in the hearts of many players.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but not long after the three of them walked out of the town, they saw a man walking down the mountain.
The man was tall, carrying a hunting rifle on his back and a deer on his shoulder. The hideous scars on his face made him look a bit ferocious.
With just one glance, Eugene and the other two confirmed that this was the hunter that Lin Jiu and the others were talking about.
Also a former exorcist, Tred.
Treed also noticed the three people. He was also holding a lamp in his hand. It seemed that more than just the players were affected by that strange space.
When Treed saw the three people, he paused slightly and then continued walking with no intention of stopping.
"【Eternal Night】 is very dangerous. No matter what happens, don't go to check it out. Just stay within the lighting range and nothing will happen." Tred gave a warning and then walked away quickly past them.
Eugene and the other two turned their heads at the same time, and only looked at each other when Tred walked into the town.
Although I didn't get to talk, I got some new information from Trede.
The strange darkness after entering the forest is called "Eternal Night".
"Maybe Senior Todd knows something." Christie said slowly after a moment of silence.
Eugene nodded.
Hicks said at this time: "It seems that as long as you stay within the lighting range, you will not be attacked."
But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is very high.
The three of them turned around in tacit understanding and walked towards the silent forest full of unknown dangers.
.........
at the same time.
Inside the castle, a group that had finished patrolling the castle came to the restaurant with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
After being frightened several times last night, the couple's faces looked even paler under the light and they looked extremely weak.
Lin Jiu felt that he could kick the couple to the point where they could fold up with just one kick.
I didn't expect that he would go downstairs to have breakfast even in this situation.
Lin Jiu withdrew his secret observation gaze.
The stench of the corpse was more pronounced than last night, so Lin Jiu ate very little for breakfast.
The butler thought that the food he cooked was not tasty. Lin Jiu was too lazy to explain to him and just got up and left the restaurant.
After Lin Jiu left, Charles smiled and said, "Sorry, he's not feeling well and has no appetite."
Hearing this, the butler thought of the scene where Lin Jiu suppressed the black shadow last night.
Then he nodded in sudden realization.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith didn't say anything, but just quietly lowered their heads to eat breakfast. However, they ate very little, but drank up the tomato juice in the cup.
After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Smith went upstairs.
The housekeeper stayed in the restaurant to clean up the mess.
Charles and Ivan came to the living room. Lin Jiu was standing in front of the castle door with his arms folded, looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for Eugene and the others.
The three of them stood at the door and waited for about ten minutes, and then three figures appeared outside the castle gate.
"etc."
As the three approached, Charles raised his hand and called out to them.
Eugene and the other two paused.
"Let's make a secret signal."
When Lin Jiu and the others came back yesterday, Todd also exchanged secret codes with them.
Charles glanced at the three of them and said, "Is the moon full?"
The three of them said almost in unison: "It looks delicious."
The code was successfully verified, and Charles smiled and said, "Just come back safely."
Lin Jiuze asked: "Did you encounter anything?"
"Where are the others?" Eugene obviously wanted to talk about it after everyone was gathered.
"He hasn't woken up yet, but he will be soon." Lin Jiu said after looking back at the second floor.
"Then wait until the others arrive?"
Christy said this, indicating that he was a little hungry.
Lin Jiu nodded, he was not in a hurry.
If it was really urgent news, the reaction of these three people would definitely not be like this.
They didn't have to wait long before Todd woke up.
But it was still early, so he didn't ask the other people in Group 3 to get up and went down alone.
Seeing that there were still few people at the table, Eugene changed his mind and recounted their experiences during their shopping trip.
There's not much to say anyway.
"Senior Todd." Hicks spoke at this time.
Todd paused slightly when he heard someone calling him, then looked up at Hicks in confusion.
"Can you explain what [Eternal Night] is?"
Although we know that the pitch black is [Eternal Night], it is still necessary to obtain more detailed information.
Then Todd becomes the best person to answer this question.
Todd didn't hesitate either. After a moment's thought and organizing his words, he began to explain, "Eternal Night... You can understand it as a special phenomenon."
In essence, [Eternal Night] itself is not particularly harmful.
However, due to the pitch-black darkness and the existence of some dangerous "indigenous residents" in the [Eternal Night], the risk factor is not low.
Todd thought for a moment and then added.
"According to records, [Eternal Night] was the work of the Lord of the Gods."
He explained that [Eternal Night] appeared after the Lord of the Gods first descended into this world, that is, after the time when the Lord of Disasters almost destroyed the world.
According to the believers of the Lord of the Gods, [Eternal Night] was brought by the Lord of the Gods and is said to be one of His many abilities.
However, what is now presented to them is a version that has been weakened to an unknown extent.
After listening to Todd's explanation, everyone present nodded.
Lin Jiu fell into deep thought.
After coming to his senses, he asked Todd:
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked yet, but is that lamp a really powerful spooky prop?"
After all, [Eternal Night] is one of the abilities of the Lord of the Gods. Although it has been weakened, ordinary weird props certainly cannot provide lighting in [Eternal Night].
