Chapter 120 Black Rain Villa (4300) (Thanks to Topsy-turvy 111 for the reward of 5,000 starting coin
In the carriage, Ka Xiu looked outside through the translucent white gauze. The brown tree trunks moved quickly backwards, the scene became blurry, and traces of rain fell from the sky above the trees.
The surrounding environment did not change, and it remained unchanged for a long time. When Ka Xiu looked out the window again, the place where the carriage was located was no longer a forest, but a stretch of winding hills. The hills on this side are very strange. On the left side of the road are large patches of white flowers, like a white carpet.
On the right side was the dark ground, as if it had been burned by fire. It was lifeless, with ashes rising from time to time.
Card Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. He was obviously sitting in the carriage but he didn't feel any fluctuation, as if the car was not moving at high speed. Instead, the whole world was coming towards him.
Driving through the sea of black and white flowers, Ka Xiu could see the slowly rotating dilapidated windmill in the distance. The windmill was getting closer and closer, and he seemed to be able to see a figure moving next to the windmill. The carriage approached again, and Card Xiu finally saw clearly what was happening next to the windmill.
There is a well made of gray and white bricks, and white statue-like people are constantly crawling out of it. They lined up like puppets, moving step by step around the cylindrical windmill house. There are protruding wooden handles on the walls of the house. The puppets hold the wooden handles and spin around the house sluggishly. The windmill on the top is driven by human power.
The puppets circled the house and came to the well again. Jumping down without any hesitation.
Not far from the windmill, a millstone for grinding beans was placed on the open ground, and a skinny white sheep pulled the millstone to rotate.
"..." Ka Xiu fell into an eerie silence. The scene in front of him seemed a bit weird, like a dream without logic.
Next, he saw more meaningless, weird and changeable scenes. The side of a pure black house is covered with white crosses the size of palms. Five people in black were lined up neatly, and they slowly opened their clothes. A forest-white skeleton without flesh and blood was exposed, and the internal organs were rotting and squirming inside. Half of the heart was drooping and beating thumpingly.
On the blank ground, a man wears a black hat like a horn. Holding a shovel in his hand, he kept shoveling the soil and digging downwards. A large herd of black cattle rotated counterclockwise around him.
In front of a big tree, two identical people were arguing. They were noisy, and suddenly another person who looked like them rushed out from behind the tree. Then came the fourth, fifth and sixth, and soon there were more than a dozen people with the same appearance next to the big tree. They stopped arguing, and instead held hands and danced a weird and twisted dance around the tree.
But the big tree was obviously drenched by the rain, but the crown of the tree burned like a fire, with bursts of transparent fireworks.
Death, religion, occultism, mystery, soul flesh, consciousness, decay, dullness, ancient, gorgeous, crazy. These are all the adjectives that Card Xiu can think of. In front of him is an irregular dream, with various elements mixed together.
What comes with it is a sense of trance that hits people's hearts.
For a moment it was hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Card repair subconsciously glanced at the upper right corner. A bronze ring sign was suspended in mid-air, and next to it was a very long row of time progress. The scale bar is about half a year old.
"It's not a dream...this is reality."
The confusion in Ka Xiu's heart disappeared. He instantly became vigilant and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Turning around and looking around the car, Ka Xiu's eyes gradually focused on the tulle. Is it a problem with this thing? He stretched out his hand and lifted it up immediately.
For a moment, a clear scene outside the carriage appeared in front of Cardiff. Under the burning tree in the distance, there was still a group of people who looked exactly the same dancing around as before.
"It's not because of the gauze..."
Ka Xiu glanced outside, only to find that all the dancing people had stopped moving. His head turned around inch by inch, staring at himself. Then, one of them suddenly shouted and ran over, and the others followed suit.
"what's the situation?"
The right hand that had originally lifted the gauze was immediately lowered.
In the distance, a man running wildly froze in place, as if frozen on the ground. After a while, they returned to the big tree one after another, repeating the scene just now.
"This damn place..."
The carriage moved forward rapidly and suddenly stopped after about half an hour. Ka Xiu carried the box and stepped down from above.
With his shoes on the surface of the platform, he held an umbrella and looked around. Ahead is a narrow road, past the sparse trees planted on both sides of the road, you can see the gray wall of Black Rain Villa, and the surface of the wall is covered with green moss.
Looking up, the spire building in the villa stands tall in the rain. The tiles and wall tiles were wet and gloomy.
"finally reached."
Ka Xiu took a deep breath, then stepped onto the path. Walk along the road towards Black Rain Villa.
Entering the gate, a medieval-style villa comes into view. Dome-topped buildings, old gray-white streets, simple and thick walls, and never-ending rain.
He moved forward in the direction he remembered, and met many guys holding umbrellas along the way. They are probably the Eye weirdos who came here to receive or submit tasks.
Not long after walking, I passed through a gray-white round arch.
Ka Xiu stood in front of the door of a building and knocked lightly.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"who?"
"dusk."
"come in."
Then the door opened and Ka Xiu walked in.
In the hall, brass-colored cast iron lamp stands hang on the wall. The oil lamp burned with flame, releasing brightness.
In front of him was a tall, thin man, about 1.8 meters tall. There are freckles on the face and the facial features are deeper. There is a light black shield mark branded on the back of his right hand. Next to the logo, there is a pattern similar to a crossbow.
Card repairers who inherit Dusk's body have these two signs.
The first one represents the shield-level Evil Night Stranger, which is the brand planted by Black Rain Villa. The second one is man-made and represents the crossbow arrow flow in Strangers of Evil. Black Rain Villa is a program that runs automatically, and Eye Stranger is a different gear.
Gears naturally come in different sizes, categories, and uses.
According to the different abilities and skills chosen by the Eye monsters in the baptismal church, they are divided into many large and small power schools.
For example, the half-beast style: by injecting the blood of beasts, you can obtain the inhuman power of an enhanced version of the beast. It can transform into a half-man, half-animal monster when it explodes, and its abilities in all aspects are greatly improved.
Mercury Flow: Saw open the human skull and add different colors of mysterious mercury inside to gain extraordinary power. It's a bit like telekinesis, similar to a super low-end, shrunken version of a mage.
Dark Flow: Connect the ability organs of dark creatures to yourself, thereby directly possessing the superpowers of dark creatures.
Crossbow flow: Use bows, arrows, and mechanical crossbows for long-distance output. Most people in this genre have slender figures and light steps.
There are also poison flow, trap flow, medicine knocking flow, etc.
The one who joined before dusk was the Crossbow and Arrow stream, and the old Eye weirdos of the Crossbow and Arrow stream had given him a simple training.
It is a way to increase the survival rate of members.
There are not many people in the Crossbow and Arrow style, and they can only be considered small and medium-sized among many schools. However, they are quite united internally and will help new members in whatever way they can. They have a small stronghold in Black Rain Villa, where people from the crossbow stream can rest.
"Dusk, have you completed your mission?"
the tall, thin man asked as he walked.
"Yes." Ka Xiu responded.
"Well, it looks like it went well this time, congratulations."
The man said what he would say every time he met a returning member. The sentence structure might be a little different, but in the end it was all congratulations.
If the other party is seriously injured, then he will be lucky if he survives the disaster. Congratulations. These are some of the customs among the Eye Strangers group. After all, every time the Eye Stranger goes on a mission, his life or death is unknown. Maybe one day you really won’t be able to come back, and men don’t have to shout congratulations to each other.
Hearing a congratulation means that at least you are still alive.
As long as you are alive, you are worthy of congratulations.
The two of them walked forward along the passage one after another. Occasionally, other members of the Crossbow Flow would come up to say hello. There are quite a few female members among them. After all, the crossbow style requires flexible body support. As for the other men, they are also relatively slender. Basically no one is tall and strong.
Dusk is considered a relatively strong type among others.
Card Xiu walked all the way and felt that the scene in the building was similar to that of the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall. Some empty rooms have been converted into indoor shooting ranges, and some old Eye weirdos are teaching new members how to use crossbows. Occasionally there was the sound of voices and the sound of shooting.
There are facilities in the building, including the lobby, dining hall, and exercise room. Although the environment may be old-fashioned and simple, it has all the functions.
"Your room is here, here is the key."
The man leading the way stood in front of a room door, and then handed the brass key to Cardiff. Ka Xiu looked up at the door.
On it is a metal nameplate affixed: 201.
"Thank you, Black Blade."
Ka Xiu took the key and thanked him.
"By the way, you should go to the baptismal church to hand over the mission later, right?" Black Blade turned around and said: "Remember not to upgrade anything else, it would be such a waste. Directly upgrade our crossbow style's "Deng Tinda Gale" Archery" is the most cost-effective."
Black Blade Yu warned again earnestly: "Remember not to improve your physical fitness. There is a limit. It is useless to increase it after it reaches the limit. It is still no match for dark creatures. We will improve the physical fitness of "Deng Tingda's Wind Archery" "It can also be strengthened in disguise, so don't waste the rewards from the mission."
Don't improve your physique? Ka Xiu frowned.
Five minutes later, he roughly understood the relevant situation.
Limits and bottlenecks. A word that Ka Xiu was not unfamiliar with at all. This is the limit of the human body, the breakthrough from human to inhuman obstacle. According to Black Blade, the physical fitness of the Eye monsters can only reach the limit of the human body at most, but cannot break through?
There is no secret weapon in Black Rain Villa! ?
Card Xiu knows that if humans want to enhance the essence of life and evolve to a non-human level, secret martial arts are indispensable! Among them, special action potions similar to the breathing method in Elephant Soul Secret Technique are the stepping stones to breaking through, while drugs such as Agni Fire Oil are auxiliary props.
Without these humans would indeed be stuck at their limits.
There is no way to climb any higher.
He can understand all of this, but why is it that for a large group like the Eye Strangers, with so many schools, no one has learned the secret martial arts? Card Xiu briefly recalled "Deng Tinda's Wind Archery" and found that it was a skill.
If Miwu is the right way, then "Deng Tingda's Wild Wind Archery" is like a heretical way. There is indeed room for improvement, and the damage is not weak. But compared to the Wind Elephant Secret Martial Arts practiced by Ka Xiu, it was more than a step behind, several levels higher.
He thought about it for a moment, and inexplicably felt that the power possessed by the Eye Strangers was somewhat deformed in various schools. I don’t know if it developed like this naturally or for some reason.
"At dusk, there should be a small party in our Crossbow Stream at night. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."
Black Blade patted Ka Xiu on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Ka Xiu stood there for a while to digest the information.
After a while, he opened the door and walked into the house. I simply put my things away, then picked up the box and walked out the door.
Pushing open the door of the crossbow stream's stronghold, Card Xiu held up his umbrella and walked towards the baptistery church. He didn't deliberately walk around and look around, because Black Rain Villa was not absolutely safe.
It's okay during the day, as the Night Strangers can visit the baptismal church, mission hall, information hall, bar, etc.
At night, everyone usually stays in their houses. There will be some weird things on the streets of Black Rain Villa. Basically every month, an unlucky and evil-minded Eye Stranger will die tragically, and the next day will be a wake-up call for others.
Plus, even during the day. Black Rain Villa also has a large number of streets that are off limits. Part of it is that you can't get in, and the other part is that it's better not to get in. The reason is the same as at night.
Kaxiu walked along holding an umbrella. When he passed an intersection, he suddenly felt someone on the left looking at him. Looking out of the corner of my eye, I saw the balcony of the second building on the street on the left.
A white shadow is looking over at the empty window.
Looking down, a warning sign stood at the intersection of the street.
Some are old, and there are still some faint blood stains on the surface. Maybe some unlucky wise guy ignored the warning and died here.
Ka Xiu ignored Bai Ying and just went his own way.
After walking a few steps forward, there was a circular intersection ahead. In the center of the intersection is a sculpture, mostly broken.
Only half of the leg was left standing on top of the cylinder.
Ka Xiu took a closer look and found that on the pillars under the feet of the statue, there were several lines of vague poetry carved on the stone.
Collapsed on the blue thorns, sobbing red fever.
You abandoned us...
But those of us who have died will wrap you in gold threads so that you will be a gilded butterfly in the afterlife.
You are fire, you are clothed in flames.
The flames of pain burn the living.
The ashes of the living fall on the forehead of death, a love poem.
…
There is more below, but it is too corroded to see clearly.
"This statue doesn't belong to the owner of the villa, right?"
This thought arose in Ka Xiu's mind, but he did not stop to study it further. Instead, he walked quickly and walked into the church about two hundred meters down the street on the right. The magnificent circular dome of the holy hall, colorful flower windows and religious murals.
Walking through the pointed alcove and the gorgeous caisson, Kaxiu sat on the seat in front of the prayer table. He was the only one at the moment.
On the back of his right hand, a shield-shaped symbol flashes.
The tip of the shield began to rotate, seeming to guide Ka Xiu in the direction. Ka Xiu stood up and walked all the way to a door.
Open it, and there is a simple secret room inside.
Walking in, the door behind you closed automatically with a bang.
Kaxiu was about to look around, but suddenly a low, hoarse voice came from his ears, without any emotion and with echoes.
"The one who marked the mark, offers an offering."
"It can be exchanged for... the power of secret soul!"
Thanks to the reward of 100 starting coins from Moon Crisis Sea.
The beginning of the copy was very difficult to write. I searched all kinds of information like crazy and spent six hours straight to squeeze out 4,000 words.
(||_) Vomited.
My reading has dropped recently, but that’s normal. It’s a bit less, and it’s not in the main line. I will try my best to recover as quickly as possible, and my coding speed will also recover. Oh, so tired.
