The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 144 The Long Night Is Coming
Middlelia put the information on the table, with the expression on her face like a proud princess, pointing to the information map to show her. "The long night is coming, this is the information obtained by Long Yan himself, how about it? This information is worth enough to make you shut up, right?"

Curse Blade looked at the tabletop, and the information map used the ancient map method to draw the land of the Three Kingdoms - Utopia was called the Three Kingdoms in ancient times.The red, gray and black kings are constantly fighting.

There is a layer of haze outside the Three Kingdoms, and there is a handwriting next to it: "The long night is coming."

She became a little scared, and raised her head: "If it's true, then the natural value is enough, but if it's not true? Is Long Yan wrong? Also, how can he guarantee that it is [-]% correct? "

"No one will misjudge the long night." Middlelia puffed out her chest proudly.She seems to have accomplished something important and is very happy, "But this time the long night is very short, it only lasts fifteen days, and after fifteen days there will be a medium-sized island full of monsters and three small islands, the old rules, medium-sized islands, see if you can take them away How many, small islands are directly hollowed out, we need dirt, rocks ... all the things that Utopia will not produce itself."

"Like normal wood?"

"Normal wood."

The wood on Utopia smelled like motor oil.

Curseblade recalled the smell of normal wood, and the strong wood that would not break easily... everything on the island was better than the car.

"Fifteen days."

She stood up and stretched out her left hand, "It's a deal, is there anything else you want to say to me? Del."

"Don't forget to contact me if you have any new information. I'd like to cooperate with you, Miss Secret Detective."

You naturally want to cooperate with us.

How many good things can you get in exchange for Long Yan's information.

Out of the big chimney of secret handover.

Outside was the corridor of the tall Gothic room, she turned her head to look at the chimney made of red and black bricks.

She likes this kind of place.

When more and more factories, huge churches and residences in Utopia began to be built, more and more machines that needed to utilize heat energy led to the need for such chimneys in these residences.

This also makes these chimneys quite good places of shelter and secret meetings.

——Looking up, the sky is quite clear now, even at night, the three moons illuminate the sky without dark clouds quite clear.

But after a few days, it will enter the long night here.

The long night is coming.

15 days without moon and sun, must be notified in advance...

She calculated the train that needed this information.

When the long night comes, the disappearance of day and March will lead to a large number of monsters full of terrifying aggression.

According to the research of some scientific power users, there is something in the sunlight and the light of March that can restrain monsters.It is an energy that cannot even be captured by the source force at work.

But for Suka, the long night means that this effect will no longer exist, and the monster will lose its awe of the train...

Anliana compared the information she knew, for example, Long Yan suddenly recalled a group of mercenaries and rangers and gave them temporary public positions, obviously to deal with the long night.

Strange stories about mind flayers erupted, strange stories erupted in every car, a spider poison that was popular recently, lackeys of immortals, and this long night.

These dense outbreaks of events made Cursed Blade feel a little bored and tired.

Too much pain.

There are too many troubles.

……

……

The living room was as lively as ever, Mihaila and Huo Hua were playing cards nervously for two, and their four opponents were Mao Lantern, Mao Lantern, and two Mao Lanterns.Gwen didn't quite know why the two lost to Mao Lantern, but it didn't prevent him from rushing out to read the book after hearing the screams of the two - he had planned to read it in the room.

Oh, and there are also Rabbit Cat and Grizzly Bear. Probably one of them was going to write a paper in the room, and the other was writing a report.

But when they heard Lezi, they all came out to watch.

Look at those two people being beaten by cat lanterns.

Gwen saw that Mihaila was in a hurry and was reasoning with the cat lights.

"...Mihaila thinks that there is a high probability that you will come out—and then come out—so ah—"

Mao Deng blinked his eyes, shook his ears, and patted his stomach:

"...sounds like the cat won! Meow ha ha ha!"

You tell Mao Deng about your wrong operation, do you think they will take pity on you?

will not!

They just pat their bellies 'meow ha ha ha'.

Gwen was overjoyed to see Mihaila rushing to the kitchen.

With a light cough, he picked up the newspaper and read it to the rabbit.

"Dead people, at No. 203 New Street, it was a biogas explosion, uh, this is a 'shit'... Long Yan recruited new guards, free public jobs came, don't worry about encountering monsters in the car, a good job, Really?"

Putting down the newspaper, he looked at the manul.

Rabbit cat ears moved: "Long Yan usually finds a temporary worker when something happens..."

"So something is going to happen?"

"Of course!"

"you know?"

"I don't know, but I know something will happen." Rabbit mantle said with considerable experience, "Last time, Long Yan said that he had recruited a group of rail repair workers, who were from the Qingshui Yamen (Utopian language: Wilji's special work department) As a result, a few days after taking office, there was an urgent report from the front that the road had collapsed. The group of repairmen worked 20 hours in a row, and it took two and a half weeks to repair the road.”

Even wolf-like capitalists dare not do this.

Gwen gasped for the other party's ruthlessness, and didn't know where to start. It was no longer enough to say "even capitalists dare not do this", because wolf capitalists are too daring, and even invented a lot of useless words. What kind of "newspeak" is used to cover up the fact that the essence is bottomless exploitation.Therefore, it is ruthless enough to say that wolf-like capitalists dare not do this. Of course, it may become "even the driver of Utopia dare not do this" in a few days, and it is also possible.

boom--

The door was suddenly knocked open.

The movements of the spies were like pressing the space twice lightly like a movie on the player, small but noticeable for a moment of fixed frame.And their hands are all on top of the weapons. Gwen has no weapons, but just holds his left hand empty, and he can pull out the lightsaber if there is any trouble.

"Don't be so serious, everyone, don't be so serious!"

The voice of the curse blade came from behind the door.

Her figure walked in, and she held up her hands: "Just today I got a piece of valuable information, and you must swear to Yuanli not to tell it."

The oath to the source force is binding.

Together with the dark cat and red dog who approached quietly, Gwen swears like the mantle.After the oath was finished, Cursed Blade said with a smile: "Recently, there will be a little change on the Fellowship."

Everyone knew her character, so they looked at her in silence.

She also felt that it was meaningless, so she said:
"The long night is coming, fifteen days."

what does that mean?
Before Gwen could react, she heard the continuous voices of 'Suka' and 'Mara' beside her.

Rabbit Man scolded:
"Suka! Sure enough, Long Yan is uneasy and kind!"

"Fifteen days of long night, monsters have to come up to eat!"

……

After the Utopia train enters the 'tunnel', it means that the train has entered the long night, and it is safe only when it exits the tunnel.No force messenger tried to go over to explore what is above the tunnel, no one can do it, maybe a dangerous area set by the witch?
During the long night, the monsters will temporarily lose the fear of the power of the train, that is to say: the monsters attack the city.

Gwen remembered that Curseblade seemed to say a more complete version, so he went back to his room for about ten minutes before running out to listen to some 'data-saving version' of the manul.

……

……

The 'Harlem Bazaar' in the old district, this is the first time Gwen and Gray Tower came to this kind of place. This is a market specially set up for backpackers, individual businessmen and family shops. Sells a whole set of secret detective peripheral products, such as the "detective book" from the witch - forget about the detective book, because it is actually from Mao Deng, Mao Deng specially made old and fake The books after Witch Products are not really useful books.

There are more cheap fruits here—brought from the wilderness, the poison content is as much as 1.5% to 3.5%. Normally, eating three apples is not fatal, but a whole watermelon is almost enough to burp no matter how toxic it is. fart.Very popular because not everyone can afford expensive fruit.

There are also a variety of materials that can make people pan for gold.

"Dried garlic skewers? Didn't you say that we bought this to prevent vampires?"

He wrinkled his nose, carried the bag, glanced down at the shriveled garlic inside, and shook his head displeased.

"But it's useful."

Huita grabbed another bunch of garlic skewers and threw them into the bag, then paid the old man who was almost as shriveled as garlic.The Gray Tower doesn't bargain, which is different from some haggling Yuanlishi.

"Place werewolves, ghosts, kobolds, vampires, demons... After adding the source power to burn, you can expel six kinds of malicious monster bees, which is very effective."

Gray Tower said. "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the little people. Those monsters can harass us all day long without rest. Although our source force has an advantage in the front, we have to take a rest, right? So preparing some supplies is not for real Rely on them for protection, but hope to trade them for rest time."

Ok.

Gwen had no objection, and shrugged, "Then dear brother Huita, I have a question I want to ask, is it okay?"

"So polite?"

Huita had a frightened expression.

Gwen sighed: "It's really rude, and I don't want to trouble you."

"hiss."

Xiong Xiong looked blank, recalling Gwen, Curseblade, Mihaila, Red Dog... These guys basically have no good for him, so he felt sincerely and rubbed his hands at the same time: "It's really rare."

Who is it rare to call?
Gwen made a meme that the people of Utopia could not understand.

"Is the blue-faced silver the silver that can kill vampires? If you want to talk about silver..."

"Dear mind flayer brother, blue-faced silver can not only kill vampires, it can also kill monsters. Expensive things have no disadvantages except that they are very expensive, oh, even this disadvantage is 'your disadvantage' rather than 'Its downside', get it?"

"clear."

……

……

In the underground pipeline of the Old Countryman, a group of pagan members wearing black cloaks and masks of faceless men are setting up the place.

This is a huge underground cavity, arranged to resemble an opera stage.There are a large number of grooves on the floor, and a brass celestial globe is placed in the center.

"Brothers and sisters, there is no need to panic, no need to panic, the power of the mind flayer is continuously providing us with strength."

"'The stars of the sky draw men's heads down, and thou shalt read my name, Zoel Grace. It is the angel of the heartless, the angel of the faceless, that guides us to health, and smokeless powder to pyrotechnic'  … Good days are coming!"

A member of the Mind Flayer Cult wearing a golden mask raised his hands high and was blowing furiously.

After a while, he said, "Longyan's castle fire just angered the mind flayer"—from a historical point of view, Longyan's castle was on fire because the family's ancestral enemies came to him, and the original body of the mind flayer was still there. I don't know if something went wrong!

After a while, he said that the Crab Meat Rebellion was the "Punishment of the Mind Flayer"--it really made sense, although it didn't have much to do with it, but at least it was the triggering event one or two months in advance.

The hype was blowing, if Gwen listened to it, he would definitely burst into laughter.

Anyway, other members of the Pagan cult heard it called mesmerizing.

Like Secret Detective, this is actually a society without source power secret codes.Similar to Secret Detective, almost all of them are sects that secretly worship mind flayers established by the power of the president alone. Their trading teachings are different from other sects of mind flayers. Quan Guai Tan Grant'.

The emphasis is on 'regarding ghost stories as a higher form of existence', 'A ghost story haunting represents fear; but if everyone is a ghost story, everyone can live for a long time, isn't it Utopia Datong? ? ', God opened his eyes.

This secret sect has another peculiarity.

That is also the sacrifice of blood hula, but it does not involve human blood——

With a wave of the golden mask, the disciples pushed up a dozen ugly goblins and kobolds.

"Cut it off." He ordered.

This is another one that is different. Other mind flayer sects focus on "taking heart from life", but it is different here. Since "weird talk loves everyone", then naturally we can't use such cruel methods, we must be civilized some.

So the head was beheaded first, and then the heart was taken.

After taking the heart, I didn’t play the set of eating it raw, but made a set of “symbol”, which is to use luncheon meat and luncheon fish rolls to make the shape of a heart, add some rare canned spinach to fry for a while, and eat it .

If Sister Gezi is still the main body, then I am afraid that these people will never have power in this life.

But now it is Gwen who masters the power of the mind flayer. Gwen is relatively gentle, and at the same time, she doesn't like to eat sashimi, and she doesn't like to kill innocent people. They vaguely hit Gwen's ghost talk core instinct, and they each received some power feedback—without Gwen not paying attention.

At first, the pagan members who were skeptical saw the real effect, so they naturally shouted 'it's done'.

After a while, a female believer came up and asked the great president softly:
"Boss, we haven't had a formal event for a long time, is it true that we are relatively comparable among pagan religions..."

The golden mask felt uncomfortable when he heard it, so he waved his hand directly:

"Operate next week to wipe out a mind flayer heresy that is doing all kinds of evil. They used the name of mind flayer to start a trade in organs. It's really a black heart!"

"Will we..."

The believers are still a little worried, worrying about whether they will fail.After all, such a gentle sacrifice doesn't look like paganism, but rather like a study group after class.

The golden mask laughed three times, full of confidence:

"Don't worry, when we pass that day, I will pray the ritual spell to March in advance. Under the care of March, we have a skin that is almost like an explosion-proof shield. Is this not a win?"
