The only clue was that Mr. Bilboy had left in the suitcase, like a mentally polluted 'Save my son', and Ann Yizhi and Breeze Bazoorka found nothing else of note.

However, on the other hand, Apple Tea and Rhett, who searched on the first floor, found key things.

- Padridge himself.

They found him in the cellar below the kitchen, where he was tied with twine rope to the edge of the barrel, and his mouth was gagged.

Qingfeng Bazooka knew some simple first aid techniques, and she checked and judged that Padrick was in a coma, which should be due to some kind of drug, and it was not life-threatening.

At the same time, the system also sent a hint when Padrick was found.

[Main Quest Update: Escape from Maspoli Town]

Compared to when I first entered the dungeon, the meaning of the main quest is very clear now.

Hurry up and run away!

However, An Yi pointed out that they were not as panicked as the rabbit being chased by a dog, this kind of main quest is almost to paste the words 'someone will intercept' on the faces of the players, how to run, also need to think about it.

It is a way to run directly in the direction of the town behind the villa, but it is not strange that there are tigers, leopards and jackals in the mountains, the danger is very high, and it is also a problem to walk out of the 'town range' determined by the system with both feet alone, after all, the mountain road is not so easy to walk than the flat avenue.

The other thing is by transportation.

For example, Ann pointed out that the train they were on when they came, and the fishing boats on the wharf on the west side of the town, were all feasible solutions.

It's just that the same danger is not low, and it's just as unpredictable.

That's pretty much the best route, and it's up to the players to decide how to choose.

After discussing for a while, the four of them decided to take the transport instead of rushing into the mountains.

It's not about the level of danger, it's mostly about the fault tolerance.

In the absence of any clear danger of encounter, it can only be assumed that the difficulty of escape is the same for each route, so that the tolerance rate for taking a vehicle is higher, such as that if the train is not good, they can immediately divert to the pier to find a fishing boat. On the other hand, if you go to the mountains, once you go in, you will have no choice but to turn back to the town, not to mention wasting time, and the danger will be greatly increased.

Padrick asked Red to carry him, but in order to facilitate his movement, the people tied him to Rhett's back with the rope that had bound Padridge, and made them both overcoat the boat, as if Padrick had drunk too much and was carried forward by Rhett. The most important thing is to indirectly hide Padrick's identity.

Donald, the thief he met in the tavern, once mentioned that Bilbom offered a high bounty to find Padridge's traces, the town is so big, Padridge is at least familiar with him as a celebrity, his appearance will definitely attract unnecessary attention, plus the old butler said before committing suicide 'The whole town is controlled', Ann Yizhi has reason to believe that it is never a good idea to let Padrick show up rashly.

Before leaving, they took the pistol that the butler had used to commit suicide and gave it to Breeze Bazooka, which, though mostly a psychological comfort, was at least better than her own .25 pocket pistol.

Bilbohm's villa was on the easternmost side of the town, and the best way to get to the train station on the southwest side was through the town, and Ann pointed out that they had no choice but to walk around the edge of the town, which would be more conspicuous.

At this time, night has begun to fall, and due to the haze, I always feel that the sky is darker and more blurry than other places.

The four pretended to be tourists who had not happened to them, and although their pace was not slow, they did not attract anyone's attention.

On the way, they also met some pedestrians, because the old butler's words really made the four of them nervous for a while, but fortunately, everything went smoothly, and there was nothing wrong with pedestrians, only occasionally saw Rhett with the person on his back to take a look.

This is normal, and it is not normal if you don't pay much attention to it.

Since today is the town's 'Advent', a folk festival, Ann pointed out that many people have soup pots in front of their homes, even baked cakes, bread, and bubbling beer, which are said to be eaten as much as you want, as long as they are not deliberately wasted.

If this copy didn't have that kind of unspeakable thing, this kind of festival would be pretty good, but since it did, the meaning of 'Advent' made Ann Yizhi shudder a little.

The journey was uneventful, and when night fell, they finally reached the train station.

But abnormal situations are also recorded at the same time.

The train station is a crowded place, and even if night falls and the town is remote, there aren't many regular trains stopping here, but there should always be someone on duty at the train station, right?

What's more, when An Yi pointed out that when they came, they also saw a lot of loaders loading boxes of goods into the wagons, and there should be a few figures left.

But now the whole train station is empty, as empty as death.

A rather bad premonition hung over the minds of the four of them, and unfortunately, bad premonitions were usually more accurate than good luck.

"There was no sign of panic or attack, and the crowd should have left here in a spontaneous and orderly manner."

Qingfeng Bazooka hugged his injured left arm and said:

"Before he died, the old butler said that the whole town was controlled, was it the one behind the scenes?"

What was he doing this for? Just don't let us run away by train? ”

"Probably not."

An Yizhi judged:

"There is an accurate timetable for the train to run, and there is no need for the guidance of the train station, and everyone in the train station must have some other purpose when they disappear."

"What do we do now? Are you waiting for the train here? ”

Appletea said with a cursive neck, the emptiness of the environment making him a little uneasy.

Rhett looked left and right and found a display board with the latest train schedules on it:

"It's 6:10 p.m., and the next train won't arrive until the early hours of the morning, so ...... wait here"

With such a long wait, it is clear that it cannot be a safe road, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to spend most of the day safely.

"Turn around, let's go to the docks."

Things are really not that simple, since the main quest is 'Escape from Maspoli Town', it must be a bit difficult, and it is impossible to let players run away easily.

Getting to the pier is an alternative, not only because the marina is far from the villas in Bilbom, but also because to get to the pier you need to go through the town, and close to the center of the town.

- There are churches there.

There is a strange symbol in the church, and the bride has an accident in the church, Ann always feels that there is a problem with the church, and it is really not a good idea to pass by there.

However, the players are still a little lucky at this time, and they are not in danger all the way from the villa in Bilbot to the train station just now, maybe they are just thinking too much?

As it turns out, it's really not about thinking too much......

"Sir, try my cake, it's definitely the best you've ever tasted."

The teenage girl showed a cute smile, trotted all the way with a cupcake, and raised it in front of An Yizhi like a treasure.

"No, thanks, we're not hungry."

"Advent is coming, would you like a glass of my own fruit wine?"

"I don't drink, thank you."

rejected a simple middle-aged uncle again, but immediately another old lady came:

"Boy, try my cinnamon."

"I'm allergic to cinnamon."

……

Since they left the train station and headed towards the port, the situation on the road has changed significantly.

The inhabitants here are very welcoming, and the enthusiasm is a little weird!

The hospitality of remote towns, especially during the holiday season, is understandable to these players, but one by one they crowd in with the potato chips grabbers to give players a taste of their craft......

If it's okay, don't blame!

At first, it was only three or five enthusiastic townspeople, but soon, before he knew it, he noticed that the number of residents gathered with food and drinks was increasing, as if the narrow stone road was filled with just a stunned effort.

It made him smell dangerous, and it was quite bad.

So he drew his pistol and threatened loudly:

"Get out of the way!"

The townsfolk were not deterred by the pistols in the slightest, and still smiled with enthusiasm to the point of eerie expression, saying "try my craft" and "Happy Advent" in the hope that Ann would eat the food.

Maybe the revolver is good against humans, but in fact, this thing can only defend itself, after all, the reload and reload speed are hard damage, and when it comes into contact with a crowd, especially if the opponent is not threatened at all, the revolver is even less useful.

"Run!"

Seeing that there was nothing to do, An Yizhi hurriedly beckoned his friends to run away.

Needless to say, the other three could also see how abnormal the situation was. Rhett, who was carrying Padrick on his back, knocked over the uncle who was holding a wine glass at him, and managed to open a barely passable path, allowing the four to hurry through, leaving the crowd behind.

The uncle who was knocked down was not annoyed, he just stood up again, and continued with the almost empty wine glass:

"Let's have a glass of my homebrew."

How weird and weird is that look, the hairs on the back of the necks of the four players who watched exploded, and they hurriedly ran forward without looking back.

The crowd of townspeople followed closely behind, and some even dropped their food on the ground, but they didn't care at all, raising their empty hands and enthusiastically selling their own food.

Not only that, but from time to time, more townsfolk will appear on both sides of the street, and they will be holding their own food along with the people who follow the player.

The scene is as if the whole town is forcing four players to eat, and the scene is eerie in the dim light mixed with gas lamps.

The map was always on Appletea's side, and he was also very good at memorizing routes, so he ran ahead to lead the way. When rounding an intersection, he reminded:

"Brother An! There's a whole bunch of them ahead! ”

Ann pointed and saw that the crowd was no less numerous than the reluctant guys who followed them, and hurriedly said:

"Take a detour and don't get caught by them!"

Although the townsfolk never showed any desire to attack, this strange scene still made all players know that once they are surrounded by a crowd, they will be ......

Hey.

The crowd was in such a position that the road leading directly to the port was blocked, and Ann pointed out that they could only choose where they needed to take some long detours.

To add insult to injury, because the town is relatively old, the planning at that time was a mess, and the routes inside the town were quite complicated.

Ann dodged a girl who rushed at him with a pie, and Breeze Bazooka decisively hit her in the back of the head with the butt of her pistol, leaving her lying on the ground unconscious.

The scene was a bit similar to the previous situation on Chisa Island, but this time it was better than that time.

At the very least, these townsfolk are not as unresponsive as zombies when they were shot last time, at least the guns are useful.

But also due to the large number of people, the number of bullets in the player's hand is too small, they basically haven't fired a gun, they can dodge, and if they can't, they will find a way to stun.

The situation was getting worse and worse, and the people who kept going around seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the docks, and the number of townspeople who were following them at this time had already exceeded a hundred, and it was difficult to count them for a while.

No matter how talented Apple Tea is for routes, he is overwhelmed by the townsfolk who keep appearing at this time.

In contrast, Breeze Bazooka's state seems to be even more unbearable.

The wound on her arm was just an emergency treatment, the wound was split open as if she was running excessively, and the wound hastily dressed with cloth oozed dazzling blood, and her face became more and more pale, and if she continued to run, I am afraid that she would not be able to run again in less than twenty minutes.

In fact, it doesn't take another 20 minutes, and there are another 10 minutes for An Yizhi and apple tea to kneel.

Both of them are not high in physique, not to mention that the player's attribute values in the temporary dungeon are all level 1, and the already small amount of physical strength is consumed even more intensely.

The four of them almost circled the town, and they changed the road that had been going in a straight line into an irregular circle. Even so, Ann asks Appletea not to take them down the path that takes them past the church, which he feels is more dangerous than anywhere else.

"Bypass the house in front of us and we'll be near the exit of the town, and we can take the road closer to the coastline to the port."

The words of apple tea shook everyone's spirits, and that road was the best way to go to the port now, provided that nothing happened.

Ann pointed out that they had also walked this road, which was the same road they had used to go from the casino to the amphitheater outside the town, and there was a circus stationed on the side of the amphitheater.

When they walked around the house that blocked their view, they saw a dense crowd gathered in front of the amphitheater outside the town, where a play was being performed, and the townspeople watched it so carefully that they did not notice the shouts of the players coming from the direction behind them......

It was a stage play, and the actors wore masks made of wood, and one of them was very eye-catching with an actor in a yellow robe.

A yellow symbol hung above his head, and a pair of hands that looked like withered white stretched out under his tattered yellow robe.

The King of the Dead preys on the gods,

Covering the sky and the sun,

The bones of the gods of the earth trembled,

The stars stopped.

And Xu Ades was silent.

for they saw the king,

With its great power and appeared,

The King of the Dead hunts for eternity.

It is terrible to fall into the hands of the living God.

……

Even outdoors, every sentence is very clear, as if it can be directly transmitted to the brain.

The players couldn't help but slow down their feet, it was not their will, but it was extremely difficult to act, and their feet were like sand poured into them, making it difficult for them to escape to the original route.

The next moment, they saw the actor in the yellow robe take off his hood, revealing a face that belonged to an old man.

That's the town's priest!

The gentle expression on his face had completely disappeared and had been replaced by fanaticism!

He raised his hands and chanted a taboo-like incantation aloud to the crowd below the stage:

“l'al'a hastur！”

The sound of the incantation fell, and the stage behind him instantly collapsed, as if it could not withstand such an indescribable incantation.

At the back of the stage, there are some large stones that look like they have rolled down from a nearby mountain, and if you count them carefully, you will know that there are nine stones, arranged in an L-shape, and if you change the angle, it looks more like a V-shape.

“l'al'a hastur！”

As in response to the clergyman's shout, the audience who had been watching the play under the stage erupted at the same time with the same strange language that was not inferior to common sense.

“l'al'a hastur！ l'al'a hastur！ l'al'a hastur！ ”

The thick haze that obscured the night sky was like a mist erased by a pair of invisible hands, revealing a rare clear night sky, where countless stars sparkled like jewels, and the most conspicuous was a star with an earthy yellow glow, the light was so unpleasant that it was hard to imagine how a single light could make people feel like they were facing their mortal enemies.

The priest paid no attention to the presence of the players, and in the midst of the crowd's cheers, he held up a heavy book with a metal cover and shouted in language beyond common sense:

“ug! ug! l’a hastur kufayak bulgtom fugtragurn bulgtom！ ”

The crowd also continued to respond:

“l'al'a hastur！ l'al'a hastur！ l'al'a hastur！ ”

They shouted this in a voice that did not resemble a human, and the ominous glow of the earth yellow in the sky grew brighter and brighter.

The next moment, it was a clear mess in the sky, but a deafening thunder sounded inexplicably, and the ears of the people who shook it were numb.

What's even more unfortunate for players is that a wind that seems to cause fear and uneasiness is slowly blowing......

Something is coming.

This is the only thought of all players.

They saw the sky above the stones...... No, to be precise, it was a space that slowly emerged from the air as if something had risen from under the water.

It was a huge, unobservable object that could not be measured by visual inspection alone, looming and erratic. The most conspicuous and condensed are the two tentacles that are 100 meters long, and they bring earthquake-like shockwaves as soon as they land. This caused many townspeople who were frantically shouting 'l'al'a hastur' to fall down, and some were even smashed to the ground.

This is the tentacle of one of the unspeakable things, one of the Old Dominators, Hasta......
