The sun is high - #108 - Chapter 107 Escape

After all, humans have their limits.

As long as we are still within the category of “human beings”, we will always be subject to different restrictions in different fields.

Cognitive, emotional, spiritual…and physical.

Because of the power of magic, spellcasters have left ordinary people far behind to a certain extent, but even so, they are still in the category of “human”.

After witnessing a horrific scene beyond her own knowledge, even Weilin, who had become a lake-level mage, still inevitably fell into a state of stagnant thinking.

She felt that her heart was racing, her breathing was accelerating uncontrollably, and her ears were filled with that noisy, harsh sound. And now even if she didn’t turn her head, she could still see the black body made of countless deformed mice through her peripheral vision. Fall.

She knew that these rats were not as difficult to deal with as she thought. However, when she wanted to stabilize her emotions and spirit to cast spells, she discovered that the magic power of the magical creatures that were following like a tide was actually formed invisibly. a whole.

A wave composed of countless deformed rats became the most terrifying source of magical interference.

Under the influence of these chaotic fluctuations and exciting emotions, Weilin found that she was unable to perform normal spell casting as usual. The sounds that were constantly coming into her ears seemed to be stretched into a harsh tone that could tear apart her consciousness and spirit. Noisy, every time she finally completed the construction of the magic pattern, she would make huge mistakes due to the momentary distraction and trance, and these failed attempts, in turn, further caused more serious interference to her thinking. .

Under this situation, she couldn’t even successfully cast the “spiritual inspiration” magic that could be used to stabilize her thoughts and spirit.

Now, the spiral staircase that had been given a permanent extension ritual has suddenly become a sealed dead space.

Wei Lin felt as if she had become an ant constantly climbing on the inner wall of the bottle to escape. However, at this time, someone was pouring water into the bottle from the mouth…

The screams of the rats were close at hand.

Just when Weilin felt that she was about to be overwhelmed by the dark wave chasing from behind, a blazing fire suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

It was a burning magic book page, and the magic imprinted in it was a stream-level “instantaneous fire”.

Charron’s Touch appeared next to Xiuge, and it directly rolled up the burning page and sent it directly to the tide of rats behind!

The next moment, a large ball of blazing fire exploded in the darkness. Just as Weilin said when she first used this magic, after it was injected with an excessive amount of magic power, the flames caused were far greater than usual.

A bright wall of fire stood in front of the rats, and the hot temperature came from behind, even scorching Wei Lin’s hair tied back.

“too slow!”

At this moment, Xiuge’s voice came from the front. Before Weilin could react, another cold tentacle stretched out and wrapped directly around her waist.

Weilin’s exclamation was covered up by the screams of the roasted rats. She only felt as if she was being dragged into the air, and the next second, she was slammed into someone’s arms. .

Now Weilin no longer cared to think about why Shuge’s magic power was not disturbed, because she found that not only was she being hugged horizontally, but she was even moving forward at an extremely terrifying speed. This kind of movement speed was beyond Weilin’s imagination. Her heartbeat accelerated further, and she could only hold on to Xiuge’s clothes next to her while gritting her teeth hard to prevent herself from screaming.

Shuge’s magic power is being consumed at all costs.

Faced with this sudden and terrifying situation, a large number of Charron’s Touches extended from behind him. At this moment, they finally became a part of Shuge’s body like their own names, taking on the most important responsibility at the moment. running and moving functions.

These extremely strong tentacles continuously supported the wall and the ground, like springs, helping Xiuge and the two of them run towards the bottom of the stairs.

The running rat Snitch, who was sent by Shuge to explore the path below the stairs, had also sent a message. It told Shuge that the rats that fell down the stairwell had also gathered in groups at the bottom of the stairs. Flowing upward along the walls and stairs.

But at the same time, it finally found a closed heavy metal door in this seemingly endless spiral staircase, not far below Xiuge!

Before a Charron’s Touch could be retracted, it was overtaken by the surging rat tide. These extremely hungry predators didn’t even pay attention to the hard horny shells attached to the Charron’s Touch. They opened their mouths directly. , biting desperately, eating away the hard surface that could withstand bullets and guns in just a few seconds.

Xiuge decisively gave up that tentacle and summoned a new tentacle to maintain his traveling speed.

As the distance between her and the rats increased, Weilin finally regained control of her own magic power. She gritted her teeth and snatched Shuge’s magic book from his arms, and then tore off three “Instant Burning” spellbooks in succession. “Fire” pages, just like when Ernst’s old house was set alight, injecting magic and then throwing them out with force.

Wei Lin is obviously more professional when it comes to creating explosions.

So a large ball of fire suddenly bloomed upwards along the spiral staircase, and a suffocating smell accompanied by the air wave of the explosion spread in this cramped space. The rats that were killed by the flames and explosions did not survive for a while. Completely dissipated into magic power, but turned into residue ignited by flames. A considerable part of them even jumped into the bottomless dark well in a panic, so these “torches” successfully illuminated the light coming from below. A huge swath of darkness came up.

“We’re here! Unlock!”

At this time, due to the rapid consumption of magic power, Shuge’s control over Charron’s Touch began to decline, so he stepped on the stairs again and kicked away the two deformed rats that were rushed here by the explosion, and then Then he placed Wei Lin in front of the heavy iron door.

A page of the book was quickly torn off by Weilin. At this moment, she didn’t care about the precise use of magic. Under the extremely rough injection of magic, the magic of “removing door locks” originally printed on the page was revealed at this moment. He showed a more astonishing “style” than Shuge’s previous “rude lock breaking”.

Accompanied by the burst of magic power and violent vibrations, the heavy metal door made a harsh buzzing sound, and was then forcefully pushed open by Shuge using Charron’s Touch.

A new ancient corridor appeared in front of the two of them. The sound of the rat tide behind them became the biggest driving force. The two of them rushed into the corridor one after another without paying too much attention.

The strange thing is that the moment the two of them stepped into this corridor, the originally menacing rat tide seemed to calm down.

However, Xiuge did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately closed the metal door forcefully, and at the same time gave the order to disband to Snicki, who was about to be swallowed by his own kind.

The moment the door is closed, the two worlds inside and outside are completely separated.

No more maddening rattles or running sounds could be heard, and Weilin’s previously severely disturbed magic power immediately resumed operation. For a moment, in addition to the two people’s heartbeats and breathing being still rapid, there was actually There is no way to prove that what just happened actually happened…

Wei Lin glanced at Xiuge, then raised her hand and cut off a few of her hair that were singed by the flames.

Her mood now is extremely complicated.

Not because of the thrilling scene he just encountered, nor because of the “special treatment” he received, but because his proud calmness and spell-casting ability would at some point be interfered with by some force that he could not understand. Completely lost.

To the caster, magic is a hammer that can be used to hit anything.

And when the hammer suddenly disappears, the caster will naturally become at a loss.

“It’s witchcraft.”

Xiuge felt Wei Lin’s gaze. He took two deep breaths and gave an explanation very consciously: “I can feel that there is some subtle connection between those mice and the magical power I control. Although I don’t know what’s going on, but for now, it seems that they have no way of interfering with my magic and magic.”

“Um……”

Weilin responded with a dull sound. Considering what had just happened, she instinctively wanted to spread out the magic book and tear out a few pages for backup. However, only then did Weilin realize that the book in her hand was actually A thin iron chain was tied to Xiuge’s waist.

This is not her book.

“…”

Several indescribable complex expressions appeared on the female mage’s face one after another. In order to prevent his teacher from being too embarrassed, Xiuge stretched out his hand with a sullen face and took the initiative to take it back from her hand. He picked up his magic book and hung it around his waist again.

While Weilin fell into silence, Xiuge turned his head and looked at both sides of the corridor.

His eyes first drifted to the nearest room. Only then did Xiuge notice that the sign fixed on the door was “514”.

“We went down three floors in one go? Now we’re on the fifth underground floor?”

Shuge moved his eyes in surprise. Sure enough, the other room numbers also started with “5”. Obviously, the spiral staircase just now did not just perpetuate the ritual of “space extension”. Snicki had previously detected It was very clear that there were no other entrances or doors beside the stairs.

“It may be a secret door disguised by magic, or it may be that there is a magic ritual in this stairway that can interfere with our cognition.”

Weilin said softly. At this time, she finally picked up her magic book and tore out several pages from it. Judging from the glittering crystal powder on it and the extremely complicated magic patterns, the seals engraved on these The magic in the pages of the book is most likely Weilin’s “bottom of the box” inventory.

The sound of slight footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, and the two people who were in shock immediately turned around. At this time, Weilin was filled with anger and nowhere to vent, so she took a step forward, and the invisible magic power marked the fatal The magic pages are held up, and under the stimulation of magic, those dazzling magic patterns, lines, and complex formulas begin to glow continuously.

A waiter wearing a dark mask appeared at the corner of the corridor. However, he did not attack the two of them, but bowed very politely.

After that, he retreated to a position against the wall, spread out one hand, and made a “please this way” gesture.

Xiuge and Xiuge looked at each other, and both saw the surprise on the other’s face.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have really become guests entering a certain hotel, and the figure wearing the metal mask had indeed returned to his “own job”…

“It looks like someone has extended an invitation to us.”

Shuge said softly, this time he did not lift the revolver rifle, but lightly moved the palm of his right hand. After feeling the slight sting on his wrist, Shuge felt a little more confident.

Until now, the “Hound’s Teeth” that he regarded as his trump card had not been revealed to anyone, but now, he was ready to use this special weapon.

The waiter really didn’t have any desire to attack. He always maintained the inviting gesture. It wasn’t until Shuge and Weilin came closer that he slowly straightened up and actively led the way forward.

However, after the waiter turned around, Shuge saw a scalp-numbing sight.

Behind the waiter’s head and back, there were several rats lying on his back.

These mice seemed to be connected to the waiter’s skin or flesh using their tendrils. They lay firmly on the waiter’s body, looking as if they were dead. However, when the waiter walked, The mice, however, experienced slight tremors again.

They are indeed alive.

After turning the corner, more figures appeared in front of the two of them. They were both male and female. Some of them were still tall and straight, while others had suffered severe physical alienation. The uniforms they wore and the facial expressions on their faces The masks are also old and new. One of the waiters who has been extremely alienated has even burst his clothes, but he still stands quietly at the edge, like a special sculpture.

Without exception, they all had rats lying on their bodies.

In other words, they were all “married” together with some rats.

With a soft sound, the door to room 508 slowly opened, and the waiter responsible for guiding the way stood by the door and once again made the gesture of “please come in”.

Light shone from the open door.

Yes, this room No. 508 is completely different from the room No. 203 that Shuge and his two men broke into before. There is light in it.

However, these lights do not come from the table lamps or chandeliers that were originally installed in the room, but from a large number of various magic lamps that were disassembled and collected from unknown places. They are piled up throughout the room, from the bed to the floor. Back to the table…these lamps are old and new, some of them have dimmed or gone out completely, but the vast majority of them are still working.

This room is simply like a warehouse where lamps are stored.
