Realized that Benjamin directly intervened in the resurrection ceremony of Master Michelangelo...... For Annan, this is good news.

Even Benjamin, in order to maintain the false information that "he is dead", will not come forward directly.

But at the very least, it's an ally that only appears in the shadows......

Sort of a friendly army.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's battle, Annan asked the players to go to bed early. Tomorrow they try to finish breakfast and line up in the morning - for now they only know that the day the ceremony began was December 14, 1503, but it is not clear what hour of the fourteenth day it is.

If it's early in the morning, then consider yourself unlucky.

But as long as it's not early in the morning, players should be allowed to go to bed early and wake up early. Be prepared to prepare for battle in time –

And after persuading the players to go offline, Annan also got up early.

In order to take care of each other, Salvatore stayed in Annan's bedroom before 3 a.m. to read...... The purpose is to make myself sleepy as soon as possible, so that I can fall asleep immediately by 3 o'clock in the morning.

"Let's make sure."

Annan closed his eyes and whispered, "Tomorrow, Lord Bishop and I will try to wake up before the sun rises, and we will be responsible for the preparation of No. 44 Qingshui Street and No. 12 Rusty Water Street, respectively. ”

"And when you and Yiyi and the old goose wake up, they immediately go to me to assist in the defense; Her Royal Highness Kaphne and the other two woke up and went to Rusty Street to reinforce ......"

Based on previous experiments, Annan confirmed that the two mirror-to-mirror symmetry rituals were indeed interlocked—the doors of one house were all opened, and the doors of the other house were closed at once.

And this interlock has a premise......

Whether the door of Clearwater Street is closed or opened, it will not have any effect on the current Nottdam Street.

But only when the "now" Nottedam stays at home, the door of the "past" Nottedam can be closed, and the two of them can temporarily appear in this world.

Otherwise, at Nottdam's house on Rusty Water Street, when the last door is closed...... Several doors here on Clear Water Street will pop open at the same time, and the two people from the past will disappear immediately.

It's like the network cable was unplugged, and the two of them dropped the line together.

This is supposed to be an insurance measure in case the two Norddhams accidentally meet.

But this also made Annan and them have to guard against two directions at the same time -

It's not just about protecting the "past" Mr. Nottdam and his wife, Merris Nottham, who is about to give birth and who died a few years ago.

At the same time, in this process, it is necessary to make the current Nottdam unable to go out the whole time.

Otherwise, as soon as he goes out, the two from the past will suddenly disappear.

So Annan's arrangement is like this.

He and Salvatore have the Philosopher's Stone in their hands, and their explosive power is the strongest in a short period of time. Coupled with the strongest protection ability, and the most balanced and stable old goose, the four of them are responsible for sticking to the pregnant woman.

On the other hand, Kaphne has a strong ability to control people non-lethal - the child can control and change the terrain, plus the infinite resurrection, immediately turn into a mad dog, and there is no lack of ability to attack.

At the same time, the bishop and Kaphne have a higher status, and the wine and children are also good at chatting. They can block people on the outside, and they can also control "the current Nottdam" internally, so that he does not go out all day.

Both Annan and the bishop possess the ability to strike spirits, and can guard against the possibility of the Rotten Church summoning spirits; There are players on both sides, and they can also communicate across distances on the forum.

This arrangement is the best situation that Annan can think of.

No matter which side you encounter with that silver-level monster, you won't be completely unable to fight back.

And the transcendent player has opened an infinite resurrection, and the power is enough to fight against ordinary minions.

As long as you can hold it, the other side can come back in time.

…… No matter how you look at it, it's safe.

"But what did I forget......"

Annan frowned slightly.

He always felt as if he had missed something.

"If you can't think of it, you don't want to, and when the time comes, I'll be able to adapt to it—there's the Philosopher's Stone. And according to you, Mr. Benjamin is also always available to help. There was no way he could have watched the ritual fail. ”

Salvatore turned another page of the book in the dim light, frowned at Annan, and said disapprovingly: "You go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

"Okay, good night then."

Annan snorted and shrunk into the quilt.

With his strong self-discipline, he controlled himself to stop thinking immediately. Fell asleep in a very short time.

And when Annan woke up in a daze......

He glanced out the window.

Suddenly realized that something was wrong-

With his precise biological clock, he can roughly tell without looking at his watch that it should be around half past five in the morning.

- So.

What is the "that" outside the window?

I saw a bleak red sun hanging in the sky.

It wasn't the golden sun wrapped around a triple openwork ring—Annan now knew that it was the symbol of Mr. Yao.

But now the "sun" outside the window is like the sunset on Earth.

Not only was there no runes or rings around it, but it was shrouded in a thin layer of golden light.

The light only shrouded around it, and beyond that there was a rich circle of black.

Further on—

It is overwhelming, rich and deep blood.

It's not just the sky.

The entire street was shrouded in an extremely unusual shade of blood.

The next moment, Annan suddenly heard a low, vague beating of drums.

Thunderous roar.

Ringing from all directions.

After another nine seconds or so, the strange low sound sounded again.

Annan carefully discerned for a while, and was a little surprised to find......

It seems to come from its own heart.

Or rather.

The thunderous drums seemed to come from the whole city...... Or at least the whole street rings in their chests!

“…… What is it? ”

This is...... The rites of the Rotten Church?

Or Michelangelo's ritual?

Annan's face was grim.

Ignoring the cold air outside the quilt, he immediately jumped up from the bed and got dressed in a very short time.

Rushing to Salvatore's room, Annan hesitated for a moment, then paused.

…… Do you want to call Salvatore?

If the ritual had really begun—whichever side had begun—it might have been too late to call Salvatore again.

But what if, this is just a prelude?

While Annan was thinking, Salvatore, with an extremely tired expression, opened the door and yawned as he hurriedly put on his coat.

He saw Annan standing at the door and frowned slightly: "Why didn't you call me?" ”

“…… It's okay. ”

Annan threw away those nonsense thoughts and nodded to Salvatore: "It's good that you're awake."

"What kind of ritual is this?"

"Said on the way—"

Salvatore picked up his suitcase and replied briefly: "Bring all your things with you!"

"Let's go to Qingshui Street first!"
