The number of people wandering the streets of Sabo Town gradually decreased.
People holding pumpkin lanterns walked in a hurry, glancing at the clock from time to time.

The anxiety brought by the ghost legend has long taken root in the hearts of the town residents. Coupled with the rumor that someone will die suddenly every year - the government and the church do not seem to have deliberately blocked the news, but let the rumors spread wildly. The residents believe that after midnight will be the most dangerous time.
After the enthusiasm, there is calmness.
The danger comes from the unknown. They don’t know whether the sudden death is a supernatural factor or an accidental situation. The church has not made a statement on this, but no one wants to say goodbye to the beautiful earthly life in a muddle.
The curfew has legally blocked the possibility of traveling in the middle of the night. People support this policy from the bottom of their hearts and consciously implement it.
The city guards in reddish-brown leather armor held spears in their hands and swords on their waists. Four of them lined up and patrolled the streets in neat steps, looking very imposing.
At the same time, the street lights turned on the broadcast again.
"Attention, residents! The whole town will be under curfew from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. the next day! We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!"
The broadcast was broadcast every 5 minutes, echoing in every corner of the town.
Under the urging of the sweet female voice, every household closed its doors and windows, the shops closed their stalls, and the warm yellow lights dimmed in disorder.
One figure after another seemed to disappear in the dark corner, and emptiness and loneliness were becoming the main color of the street.
The wind rolled up a corner of the poster on the wall, and the pumpkin lantern under the eaves swayed slightly, with a faint blue light, mocking the fear of desolation.
"People think that the time of the dead is coming, but in fact, they are about to go home."
Newman, who had been decadent in a corner of the bar, looked up at the empty tables and chairs and sneered.
The bartender nodded at him, indicating that he was about to close the shop.
He stood up, put on the pumpkin mask beside him, and pushed the door out nonchalantly.
In the Blessing Square, the travelers stood in front of the goddess statue, discussing the next stage of action.
They could not be sure that they would still be in the same place when the hunting time came.
In terms of common skills, except for the wanderer equipped with [Fearless Pain], the other three were equipped with [Catapult Start], pursuing a burst of speed equal to that of the soul hunter in a short period of time.
In terms of exclusive skills, Guan Shanyue is a photographer and chose [Real Image], which means that she will be a blank character during the hunting period.
Zixu is a detective and carries [Secret Blind Spot]. He is absolutely good at hide-and-seek with his hidden breath, and [Catapult Start] provides a layer of insurance when changing positions.
As an adventurer, Bluebird's [Ease of Ease] increases her pulling ability. When the danger premonition is triggered, she gains a 1% basic agility bonus per second. After 10 seconds, her agility can reach a maximum of 1.1. Unfortunately, it cannot be superimposed with the effect of [Catapult Start], which gives a fixed attribute.
[Ease of Ease] can be superimposed with [Tough Soul], and each layer of damage increases agility by 3%.
In the order of bonus, [Ease of Ease] is higher than [Tough Soul], because the former increases basic agility, while the latter increases the value of basic agility.
Therefore, when receiving 3 layers of damage, the adventurer can get a maximum agility of slightly more than 1.2, which is a little faster than the soul hunter.
The Wanderer's [Agility] is quite interesting. The four travelers initially guessed that it can unlock more pulling space for the travelers.
In terms of special skills, Guan Shanyue has [Holy Healing Technique], Zixu has [Fortune and Prosperity], Bluebird has [Detect Evil], and the Wanderer has [Great Sacrifice].
Before the discussion, Zixu decided to use [Good Fortune]. Obviously, they had no new candies to obtain, and what they had now was the last base number.
"May the goddess of blessing lower her eyes and pour the water of the holy grail with broad love and compassion, your radiance is unbroken, your feathers are clean and flawless..."
Zixu whispered the prayer he heard in the church, full of hope for the result of the dice roll.
Guan Shan wanted to laugh but couldn't. On the one hand, she had a faint awe of the gods, and on the other hand, she felt that it was absurd to place her hopes on them.
On the system interface that only Zixu could see, a virtual silver six-sided dice was spinning. The slower it went, the more nervous Zixu became.
The golden numbers became clearer and clearer, and Zixu widened his eyes, watching it suddenly flip over with a corner as a fulcrum and land steadily.
It seemed that the statue of the goddess of blessing, which was close at hand, listened to his pious prayers, and the number at the top was "6"!
Zixu clenched his fist excitedly and swung it violently, almost hitting the blue bird next to him.
Before he could tell the result, the system notification was revealed first.
[Tip: Player "Zixu Huawuyou" used the special skill "Fortune and Prosperity", and the Odin card candy in the hands of the traveler players will increase by 0.6 times. ]
Suddenly, the number of candies in the hands of the four people increased.
Guan Shanyue had 21, Zixu had 22, and the blue bird and the wanderer each had 26.
A total of 95.
Although it was not much per person, it was much better than the previous number.
Everyone was overjoyed, and the tone of their discussion on strategy was much more cordial.
"Based on our abilities, we should still hide first, and run if we can't hide." The skills of the four people could not form linkage at all, and the blue bird was helpless.
"Wanderers, hurry up and open a room. If you encounter Holy Light, pick it up easily. When you are safe, pay attention to exploring the map. If you encounter a Soul Hunter, it is best to shout to warn your companions around. It would be even better if you can shout out the Soul Hunter's skills..." Zixu added.
He thought that this game was not promising before, but the sudden "God's Hand" gave him confidence again.
Luck is also part of strength.
The four of them muttered for a while and unanimously agreed that in addition to these precautions, the only strategy is to adapt to circumstances.
In the first round, everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Suddenly, the wanderer's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and she was walking towards them.
Wei Miao showed a natural smile, as if it was not her who got rid of the traveler at the beginning: "What a coincidence, you are here too."
"Ahahaha, what a coincidence..."
Guan Shanyue responded with an awkward smile.
Although she had seen the creepy tentacle skirt on her, she still felt her scalp tingling at a close distance.
Only the bluebird grasped the essence of the problem: "It's almost curfew time, aren't you going home?"
Looking around, I don't know when, the huge Zhuyou Square was left with only the figures of the city guards, and the faint shadows on the ground were stacked. Strangely, they turned a blind eye to the few people in the center of the square.
The broadcast had stopped long ago, and silence mixed with red and white lights intertwined in the night. The strange costumes disappeared, and the afterglow of the festival dissipated in the candies rolling on the street.
The cold wind flew over the dim town, strangling all the noise, and the terrifying shadow hidden behind the legend swept over and swept through everyone's heart.
The bluebird waited for Wei Miao's strange silence, and the uneasiness in her heart surged out.
There seemed to be lightning flashing in her mind, and she suddenly remembered something.
"You are..."
"Dang~Dang~Dang~"
The mighty and distant bell sounded as if it came from the ancient depths, resounding through the sky, announcing the arrival of midnight!
The unfinished words of the blue bird were stuck in her throat. Her body froze in place, unable to move, as if disconnected from her thoughts.
Under the boundless starry sky, in the deep night, in front of the holy statue.
She watched the person in front of her suddenly bend over, cover his face with his hands, and his mouth curled up in a strange arc, all the way to his ears.
A dark crow shadow struggled out of the thin skin, and the swollen tall shadow held a giant sickle in his hand. The rusty blade reflected the distorted faces of the four people.
It turned its head suddenly, and two scarlet spots floated with it.
The human skin decayed into dust.
The crow feathers fluttered in the bleak wind, just like its hoarse and jerky voice.
"Death is the destination."
Raise your arms high, and the sharp sickle will descend with the eternal darkness! (End of this chapter)
