Chapter 257
Wen Jianyan suddenly realized something was wrong.
With the dim light from the candlestick in his hand, he saw the "customer" standing still not far away.
It stood upright on the spot, its body was upright, and the old cloth on its body was dirty and rotten. Obviously... I don't know when, it actually turned into a posture facing itself.
He couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, but he had an inexplicable feeling of being "watched".
Wen Jianyan's hairs stood on end.
not good!
The scene of the candle exploding just now flashed through my mind.
At that moment, I am afraid that I am too close to the "customer"...
The reason why "customers" don't attack humans after entering the store is because all the anchors will gather near the counter at that time, and the light of the oil lamp can not only attract customers to enter the store, but also make them temporarily unable to perceive the existence of humans. Security, "customers" will come in to buy items and leave, only when there are no products in the store, they will ignore the rules and attack humans - just like the first customer on the fourth floor.
First URL
The second customer came from another shop. It was guided here under the rules of the spell, and its purpose was only to "eat".
Wen Jianyan held the candlestick tightly, and under the faint light of the candle, he saw blue-black corpse spots emerging on the back of his hand, as if it was gradually rotting away at a rapid speed.
A cold, death-like feeling quickly rose from the soles of his feet.
He knew that he was being "attacked" now.
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Jianyan's forehead, and a strong sense of ominousness rose from the bottom of his heart.
Oh no.
If he doesn't leave quickly, he might really die here
Wen Jianyan was about to step back when suddenly he was taken aback.
He noticed that his current state seemed to be different from the teammate who was targeted just now.
Moreover, more importantly, the rotting corpse spots did not start from near the neck, that is to say...
Facing this way, Wen Jianyan quickly cast a glance at the incense burner not far away.
There is no change in the position of the burning red dot.
really.
Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.
From the looks of it, he is not yet a "tribute" for the time being.
After dripping blood into the incense burner, the "customer" was diverted from the first victim and walked towards the incense burner. However, before it had time to continue eating, because it was too close, The protective effect of candles was far inferior to that of oil lamps, so this time the attack was not "eating", but pure killing without any hidden chill.
The moment she realized this, Wen Jianyan felt a layer of cold sweat seep out of her back.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement.
According to his previous thinking, there is no solution to this terrible state of surrogate death, because now the "customer" is still judged to be in another store, so whether it is an item in the instance or an item outside the instance, there is no solution. It can't work on it. Even if it is successfully sent away, they will waste precious resources needlessly, and finally watch it leave with nothing.
Those sacrifices that can share the damage are useless, and the red light that can attract the attention of the "customer" cannot touch it, because the actual attack location of the "customer" is determined to be in other shops, not here.
And this seemingly unsolvable state has changed now, because Wen Jianyan discovered that being too close to him can stimulate the "customer"'s desire to kill.
Wen Jianyan stared intently at the customers not far away, her breathing became slightly short of breath.
...This also means that as long as he is close enough, he can be judged to be within the attack range.
can have an impact on it!
His eyes fell on the crooked pitch-black charm, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward slowly.
Within the line of sight, the figure of the "customer" became clearer. The black and dirty clothes, and the rotten green and black palms hanging on the sides, leaked a terrifying aura every step of the way.
After calming down, Wen Jianyan quickly realized that although it "notified" its existence and launched an attack, this attack was much slower than the previous customers.
From the looks of it, this meant that the mechanism of the spell was also a double-edged sword.
Although they cannot interfere with customers who are judged to be [in another space], but similarly, customers [in another space] will have a large degree of danger to their attacks. Decline.
In a sense, it is also protection.
Although the way the spell transfers the risk is very insidious, but, similarly, for them in a different space, it will be less difficult to unravel the spell than to paste the spell.
This is good news.
Wen Jianyan plucked up his courage, took another step forward, stretched out his hand towards the "customer" who was standing still, and carefully approached the charm on it.
[Integrity First] Live Room:
"Ah, ah, I'll go, I'll go!"
"Wuwu Wenwen is amazing! I thought they would be cheated this time, but I didn't expect..."
"So nervous!"
"Even this kind of invisible pit can be avoided... How much does the anchor know about this dungeon? This is too scary!"
"Well!"
As the distance drew closer, Wen Jianyan let out a painful moan from his throat.
A cold feeling rose from the soles of his feet and quickly spread all over his body, as if his whole body was immersed in a cold pool.
The life force is rapidly drained from the body.
His vision began to blur, and his legs gradually became uncontrollable.
It is indeed closer.
Wen Jianyan raised his hand, his pale and bleeding fingers gradually approached the "customer" exuding horror, and the distance gradually narrowed to a distance of centimeters.
Soon, soon!
He stared at the gradually decreasing distance, as long as he stretched his hand a little further, he would be able to touch that blue-black terrifying spell!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
In the darkness, the "customer" who had been inactive until now slowly turned his head and "looked" precisely at Wen Jianyan's hand stretched in mid-air.
The dullness from before was gone.
At this moment, Wen Jianyan felt as if he was facing the corpse directly without any protection.
The protective layer created by the distance difference created by the spell disappeared.
In an instant, a strong sense of panic swept through his body.
will be killed!
Will definitely be killed!
However, dragging his weak body to the present distance is Wen Jianyan's limit. His limbs have gradually lost consciousness, as if they don't belong to him, even though every cell in his body is screaming He ran away, but his body seemed to be against him.
There is no way to take a step!
In an instant, a sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth, and was about to make a final gambleto see whether she would be the first to remove the spell, or be the first to be killed by the curse on the "customer"!
[Integrity First] The live broadcast room was also infected by such a tense atmosphere, and the barrage became rare, as if there was no time to distract.
A bullet screen suddenly jumped out:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhd with ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"Ah, wait
? What's the meaning? "
"You don't think that there is no price for sticking and unraveling the spell, do you? Sticking the spell needs to consume half of a living person's vitality, and the same is true for breaking the spell... It would be fine if it was someone else, but the anchor has already sacrificed three points before. One of his vitality has gone out, and now that he is being targeted, his body is still being eaten away and rotted, if he comes to expose it, he will definitely die!"
"!Grass!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"Grass, it's over, it's over!"
At this moment, a voice came from behind Wen Jianyan without warning, breaking the dead silence:
"Hello!"
In Wen Jianyan's humming ears, the sound seemed strange and distant, and it took him two seconds to realize the source of the sound
In the next second, before he could react, a strong force came from behind, forcefully pulling him back and flying back.
Wen Jianyan felt dizzy for a while, and the world turned upside down in front of his eyes. His body had already stretched to the limit, but under this tugging, he lost his balance, fell straight back, and the candlestick came out of his hand.
"Still alive?"
A grumpy-sounding voice sounded from overhead.
Wen Jianyan raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and looked in the direction of the voice.
Under the slight candlelight, Orange Tang's impatient face looked very close: "Haven't you been a sacrifice once? Why are you again? Really want to die?"
"...orange candy?"
Wen Jianyan was taken aback.
"It's me." Tangerine Tang lowered her head, glanced at the other party in disgust, then let go of her hand hastily, and rubbed the palm that touched Wen Jianyan's arm on her body, "I found that the customer didn't follow, Something was wrong, so I chased after you, and I didn't expect to witness your suicide scene directly.
"And you're too heavy, aren't you?"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Zhang Yu and Wei Cheng ran quickly from the darkness behind them.
The two squatted down and helped Wen Jianyan up.
Their movements were far gentler than orange candy: "how, are you okay? What happened?"
Wen Jianyan sat up with the strength of the two of them, and looked in the direction of the "customer".
Sure enough, the insensitivity brought about by the "talisman" does exist.
After Wen Jianyan left its range of attack, the "customer" turned around straight, walked stiffly, and walked towards the incense burner step by step, ready to continue enjoying the tribute.
"Quick..." Wen Jianyan raised his hand with difficulty, and grabbed Zhang Yu's sleeve, "Stop it! Never let it walk near the incense burner and start eating!"
"It was driven by the anchors of other shops. Before the spell is cast off, all our efforts are in vain! We will make wedding clothes for others!"
Wen Jian spoke very fast, just a few words, the other anchors understood the current situation, they couldn't help but gasped, and their expressions became slightly dignified.
"So it's about breaking the spell, right?" Tangerine Candy narrowed his eyes, and pushed the candlestick in his hand to the Acropolis beside him, "You two stay here."
"good."
Acropolis nodded.
He has confidence in his captain's ability. Although it is dangerous to break the spell from customers, it shouldn't be a big problem for Orange Candy.
Wen Jianyan's eyes darkened, and she leaned against Zhang Yu's body in a daze, almost falling into a semi-conscious state.
Sure enough, although red candles were dangerous, they were far more healing than gray candles. Wen Jianyan gasped for a while, but gradually regained her strength.
"Where's the orange candy...?"
he asks.
"The captain went to break the spell," Wei Cheng replied.
"I know,
"Wen Jianyan leaned on the ground, straightened up with difficulty, her face was as white as gold paper, "How long has she been gone?" "
"Two or three minutes?"
"That should not be over yet," Wen Jianyan turned to look at Zhang Yu, "Do you still have the spell that you exchanged on the second floor?"
Zhang Yu was startled and nodded, "Naturally."
When they were on the third floor, they didn't have much chance to use this spell, and they didn't know its specific effect, so everything has been preserved until now.
"Take it." Wen Jianyan handed the candlestick to Zhang Yu, "Follow the orange candy."
he said succinctly
"After the black charm is removed, put the yellow one on it."
Acropolis was startled: "Yellow? What's the use?"
"..." Zhang Yu fixed Wen Jianyan's eyes, but didn't ask anything, just took a deep breath, and replied decisively: "Okay."
In this race against time, you must fully trust the decisions made by your teammates, otherwise you may waste extremely precious opportunities.
Zhang Yu stood up, took the candlestick, and walked towards the customer.
With the support of Weicheng, Wen Jianyan straightened his upper body with difficulty, his eyes closely followed the candlelight
He is also betting.
Since the black spell can allow customers to change their goals, removing the spell should allow customers to return to the original store.
But in this case, they are still at a loss.
The arrival of this customer has already caused them to waste nearly half of the incense. If they just send it back like this, their already precious resources will not come back, and they will not be able to get any rewards. .
For the team over there, although they didn't completely send the customer away, it also consumed the strength of the hostile team and reduced the harm caused by the "customer".
Wen Jianyan is absolutely not prepared to do this kind of loss-making business.
It's okay to deceive others by yourself, but to be deceived by others?
No way!
So, since the customer comes in, don't think about leaving.
The black charm and the yellow charm are a pair, and they were also taken out by the hands in the donation box to let them choose, so their effects should also be a pair.
Although the specific function of the yellow talisman is not completely clear, some vague directions can be deduced from the black talisman.
Wen Jianyan took a breath, raised her head, and looked towards.
A very beautiful face with soft lines turned pale due to weakness, and his body was thin and weak, so he could only lean softly on his teammates. His long silver-white hair made him even more frail and deceitful, but those amber pair In the depths of his eyes, there was a fox-like cunning, snake-like cold expression.
It's really not in line with his style to give the meat to his mouth and send it away without taking a bite.
To do business is to buy and sell!
