Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 157 Room No. [-]
Boom!

A flash of lightning flashed across, the ground was illuminated palely, and a long and deep shadow was drawn behind the castle standing on the endless wasteland.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the dull thunder, the world fell into darkness, a darkness without a ray of light, a darkness that was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Crackling...!
The charred wick soaked in blood slowly shimmered.

Zhang Yao half leaned against the wall, his eyes went from slightly narrowed to fully opened, quickly adapting to the sudden alternation of day and night.

At this time, his spirit immediately tensed up, carefully watching whether there was another shadow within the range illuminated by the oil lamp.

According to his past experience.

It was dark.

A wandering phantom,

And those unspeakable horrors should be revived.

Fortunately, his profession gave him basic night vision, so that he would not feel helpless in the dark.

"Explore the second floor first... Well, I didn't think it was because I was afraid, but simply because I didn't have the cursed object, and I didn't have the confidence... Even if the guest in Room [-] leaves, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger...

In case tenant No. [-] comes back suddenly...

right!Shut up!
Brother Leg has figured out its law of killing, so it's not a big problem!

The only danger is the possibility of bumping into the old sister again... It must be too late to run to Brother Zhu, and I don't have a second Ankh...

Then open the door of a tenant and let them fight each other!
Just choose number one!
Save it from knocking on my door every night and making me sleepy! "

Zhang Yao consciously thought of a very safe plan.

He immediately took out the cloth strip, stuffed his mouth full, and wrapped his mouth tightly around the back of his head.

...This will also prevent him from uttering mindless hi!
Simply perfect!
call!
Zhang Yao raised his foot and stepped lightly, thick black mist suddenly gushed out from the gaps in the armor on his body, and quickly spread around.

Pairs of scarlet eyes loomed in the black mist, accompanied by low and chaotic ravings, as if they could drive people into madness.

Dark touch.

This skill can help Zhang Yao explore hidden things within the range and perceive things that are invisible to sight.

Has a strong restraint effect on units with stealth ability.

Moreover, the dark energy itself is extremely polluting to ordinary creatures, and it can also exert a good power when dealing with such enemies.

dark Knight.

This is the occupation of manipulating dark forces.

However, for Zhang Yao, the biggest help of releasing the dark touch is to allow him to grasp the situation around him.

Perceive in advance and avoid those weird areas.

With this skill, he was able to return safely after exploring many unknown areas in the castle.

In addition to ghosts and portraits of women, the weirdness that has been staring at him.

Black mist pervades.

The surrounding pictures were gradually outlined in Zhang Yao's mind.

"Aren't the ghosts here?"

Zhang Yao looked around strangely.

In the past, at the moment when the night fell, that ghost would have appeared beside him without warning.

"It seems that many unknown changes did happen last night."

He couldn't help thinking.

At the same time, the fear of the old sister has also been reduced, guessing that she may have been solved by Brother Zhu...

Dengdengdeng.

He walked quickly through the building familiarly to the second floor of the castle.

When approaching the stairs, he slowed down and listened quietly for a while.

"The tenants on the second floor are usually very quiet. Only tenant No. [-] will come out for a walk at night, but more often around twelve o'clock...

It should be safe now.

No.

I figured I'd better go around the other side.

Since it can act at night, it doesn't have to wait until after twelve o'clock, I can't fall into the misunderstanding of solidified thinking..."

Zhang Yao felt that he became smarter after communicating with Brother Leg.

I'm so smart!

The second floor is a connected and enclosed circular corridor, which is square in shape, which is rare in castle-style buildings.

More like a layout similar to a modern apartment building.

Zhang Yao left the stairs and walked to the left.

The front corner was submerged in the darkness of night.

Silent.

Through night vision.

Zhang Yao could clearly see the withered potted plant standing in the corner, twisted like a shriveled human hand.

The exquisite paintings on the flower pots, the deep purple curtains hanging down, and the mottled oil paintings on the walls that seemed to be painted randomly.

But at this moment, they all present a strange and distinct black and white in the darkness.

Heavy and depressing.

The dense fog under his feet continued to spread forward, but his ability was greatly suppressed on the second floor.

The dark sense of touch that could control the coverage of nearly 30 meters is compressed and can only spread forward three meters.

This is completely different from the situation when he was exploring on the first floor of the castle.

three meters.

It is no longer a distance that can provide him with a safe contact.

Once you encounter weirdness, there is almost no room for buffering.

in other words.

The help this skill can provide him on the second floor is very limited.

Zhang Yao took a deep breath and grasped the meat cleaver.

Immediately.

Countless densely intertwined pitch-black lines emerged in his vision.

But he soon discovered that this method did not work either.

There are too many black lines.

Almost everywhere.

Even the floor tiles under his feet were entangled with several black lines, which could not serve as a guide for him at all...

Ok?
Weird.

Zhang Yao took a strange look at the black wires wrapped around the wall and floor tiles.

Some can't understand.

He originally thought that the lines he could see after picking up the meat cleaver referred to each individual weird existence.

Is it.

All objects disturbed by weirdness will affect the judgment of meat cleaver?

He didn't get too entangled in this matter, it wasn't particularly important to him.

Walking forward with heavy steps, Zhang Yao stared at the deep darkness around the corner, his heart inexplicably clenched, a sense of uneasiness lingered in his chest, as if he was walking into the abyss step by step.

"call……"

Zhang Yao's breathing became difficult and heavy unconsciously.

A terrible thought suddenly emerged.

"wrong.

If I take a detour from the other side, the first thing I pass is the most terrible room No. [-]!

The only locked room on the second floor..."

Suddenly.

He stopped.

The instinct of danger drove him to no longer move forward.

That feeling, although not as strong as when facing the sunflowers in the flower bed before.

But it was also because he hadn't faced that terrifying room.

"How could I have such an idea of ​​dying..."

Zhang Yao turned his head immediately, without any thought of being brave, he knew that all pretentious and reckless behaviors in the face of strangeness were just playing tricks to death.

although.

This is basically a lesson he learned from himself...

Turn around and walk to the other side.

Passing by the room without a door number, Zhang Yao took a look, although after there were no candles, this safe house had already existed in name only.

Weirdness can invade at any time.

But this room is also the only place where he can rest.

then.

Zhang Yao walked slowly through Room [-].

After the light of the oil lamp shone on the scarlet door, he seemed to hear a small sound coming from the room.

As if whispering.

Fortunately.

The door did not open directly in the end.

His hanging heart suddenly fell, and he continued to walk forward.

room two,

room three...

Both crimson doors were shut.

Zhang Yao was about to pass through and walk into the next corner, when suddenly, his gaze landed on the floor at the door of Room [-].

He hadn't noticed.

But the dark sense of touch will give him clear feedback of all traces.

immediately.

Zhang Yao discovered the imprint that was left not long ago.

"Have room three been opened?!"

"when!?"

He breathed uncontrollably.

to him.

Every tenant on the second floor is an extremely terrifying and strange existence.

And this, he has also been confirmed by Cheng Shen, the little girl's horror level is definitely far above the cheongsam woman!
I am afraid.

Among the existences he has seen, only Brother Pig can compare with him.

The most important thing is, don't look at Zhang Yao who has been jumping up and down in the castle to die.

But this is because he clearly knows that the first floor he explores, whether it is Brother Pig, the terrifying existence in the cemetery behind the castle, or the weird clock tower, has a fixed range of activities that cannot be left!
But this is not the case for the tenants on the second floor!

As soon as the little girl left, she appeared directly in front of Cheng Shen who was thousands of miles away.

This is enough to show that the range of activities of the tenants on the second floor is not restricted!
An unrestricted ghost can drive him around, and an unrestricted cheongsam woman can even force him to die.

If there is another tenant on the second floor...

Zhang Yao's heart trembled.

must.

ASAP.

Improve yourself to counter the strange means!

With firm belief, Zhang Yao walked towards the next corner, and the picture in front of him quickly became clear, the same corridor, the same windows, the same meaningless chaotic oil painting, and three doors that seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

The only difference is.

number four,

number five,

number six,

The blood color of these three doors is deeper and tends to be dark red, especially when everything around them is in black and white.

Extremely scarlet and dazzling.

among them.

The door of Room No. [-] was half opened, and the depth and darkness that seemed to be able to swallow the soul filled the door, blocking Zhang Yao's sight.

"What's in room five?"

"Am I being too deadly... I haven't even explored the area on the first floor, so I want to get in touch with the secrets of the second floor..."

"But Brother Leg is right. If you don't take risks while it is away, you will have no chance when it comes back..."

Zhang Yao's thoughts were mixed.

unconsciously.

His footsteps had already stopped in front of the door of room five.

The light emitted by the oil lamp shook violently at this moment, as if being blown by the wind, flickering, but Zhang Yao didn't notice the slightest bit of airflow.

But as the state of the flame became unstable, a cold aura gradually permeated from the oil lamp.

"Going out of control?!"

Zhang Yao was shocked.

What exactly is in room five?
Just by being close, can the weirdness in the oil lamp be revived in advance?
Think for a moment.

Zhang Yao resolutely stuffed the oil lamp into his backpack to isolate it.

The function of the oil lamp was to block the strange erosion and protect his safety, but in this case, holding it would only speed up the recovery of the strangeness in it, and it would be even more dangerous.

but.

Then all he could rely on was the meat cleaver.

Zhang Yao's eyes flickered, and after a brief psychological struggle, he finally suppressed his timid thoughts.

more dangerous.

It means that it is possible to obtain more generous returns.

This is not his imagination, nor is it the wrong thinking that Cheng Shen instilled in him, but the rules that this castle has always shown him.

Every possible danger.

There are items that can help him become stronger.

Such as oil lamps.

The servant's room is the area where ghosts are most active.

If Zhang Yao hadn't followed Cheng Shen's suggestion and had the courage to go in and explore, he might have burped at the level of the ghost image.

There are no oil lamps.

It was even less likely that he would get that blank portrait.

It's like a ring within a ring.

Zhang Yao instinctively felt that he had grasped an important hint. However, when he thought about it carefully, his experience was full of uncertain factors caused by his death, so he couldn't conclude...

After retracting the oil lamp.

Zhang Yao took out the blank portrait again.

But this time he had experience, even though there was always an inexplicable impulse in his heart, he didn't look down at the portrait.

He turned the face of the portrait to the door.

This is his judgment.

Since this portrait can suck him in, and it can also imprison the horrible weirdness of the old sister, it should also work on other weirdnesses.

If it doesn't work.

He also has Brother Pig's meat cleaver.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yao turned his heart and rushed towards the door with big strides.

"Just die!"

His mindless recklessness welled up in his heart.

this moment.

What thinking, what wisdom, all were left behind by him!
call!
The moment he stepped into the darkness, Zhang Yao seemed to be trapped in some kind of extremely viscous substance, his mouth and nose seemed to be stuck, and a sense of panic that he couldn't breathe suddenly rose in his heart.

And at this time, there were bursts of icy sensations all around, as if countless icy arms were pulling his body!

"Go away!!"

Zhang Yao shouted in his heart.

Without hesitation, he swung the meat cleaver in his hand and chopped forward.

He didn't know who the target was.

I don't know what to cut.

It's just that I instinctively feel that I must cut this knife!

boom!
An indescribable force suddenly erupted from the meat cleaver.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated, and everything turned into nothingness. Zhang Yao only saw a twisted and changing black line appearing in front of his eyes.

And the next moment.

This black line was cut off directly by the meat cleaver!

Snapped!
A soft sound.

Zhang Yao raised his head with a feeling in his heart, and saw that the red line above his head, which might symbolize his vitality, split from it strangely.

The lifeline that was already as thin as a hair became more fragile and illusory.

Zhang Yao's face turned pale. He didn't suffer any substantial damage, but he clearly felt that he had lost something very important.

The black mist dissipated instantly.

A very ordinary hotel room was presented in front of him.

Only then did Zhang Yao realize that he thought he had walked a long way, but in fact he had just stepped into the room one step away.

Half of his body was still outside the door.

And on the side, facing the door, there is a classical mahogany wardrobe.

The cabinet door was open, and a double-breasted pure black coat hung alone inside.

There was a tear in the coat that almost tore it completely.

But visible to the naked eye, the crack squirmed strangely, slowly healing as if alive.
