The old corridor was covered with spider silk, and on both sides of the narrow corridor stood many medieval Knights' armor.

Some of them stand upright without damage, some of them are cut off by the waist, and some of them are crooked.

Suddenly the light came on, and they thought there was a living soldier waiting for them, which made them jump.

In addition, there are many small frame paintings on the walls of the corridor, which should be full of artistic flavor, but in the dilapidated environment, there is a trace of strangeness.

Mars patted himself on the chest. When he saw the figure just now, his heart jumped to his throat and almost shot.

"What's the matter? A bunch of Knights' armor scares you like this?" As a gunner, the captain couldn't help but look at Mars. This guy was scared just now, and he was also scared.

"Sorry, sorry! I'm making a fuss! "

Mars turned and apologized, light hit the captain's face, but saw the captain's face was not normal red.

"Boss, actually Were you scared just now? " Mars seems to have found out some secret. It's very interesting that he can catch the handle of the staid captain.

The captain's eyes were as big as those of the bronze bell. He said fiercely, "take a good look at the road, and don't say anything about it!"

Because of the medieval knight armor on both sides of the corridor, there is not much space to walk around.

The gunner, wearing an exoskeleton and carrying heavy weapons, is extremely bulky when walking in the narrow corridor. It's like a pig dancing ballet, carefully keeping balance, and being wary of any part of the body touching these old dust laden armor.

If you knock down the knight's armor, you can hear the rattle and vibration outside the castle.

Mars should have been in the front, but he was too easy to block the view of the artillery, so he could only follow the captain.

The machine fanatic team leader walked in front, holding the high-powered class machine gun in both hands, staring at the end of the corridor.

Scout Mars follows behind. His vision is blocked. He can't detect the corridor. His eyes can only scan left and right.

But just like this, Mars shivered all over and could not help holding the captain's coat.

"Captain, take a look at the paintings on the wall. Why are they all so infiltrating..." Mars frowned and his back was cold.

Walking in front of the artillery turned slightly, shoulder searchlight on the wall, saw the hanging small oil painting, face and Mars the same expression.

After a while and other small paintings, the captain's expression became more dignified.

"Captain, do you also find something wrong?"

The gunner nodded. These small oil paintings are really weird. They are all ferocious facial portraits.

The facial expressions on the portraits are quite strange. Some of them have a mouth to the root of the ear, a bright red tongue and eyes staring straight ahead. Some of them have a dull expression with only one eye. Some of them have a twisted face and eyes hanging from the corners of the mouth.

Although these portraits are extremely grotesque, close observation will find one thing in common -

no matter they move back and forth, the focus of the eyes in the portraits always seems to be on them.

The discovery gave the captain and Mars the creeps.

"Well, don't look at it. Our task is to catch the agents of the wasteland gang and study what to do with it!"

Having said that, the artillery captain shivered after he finished.

The abandoned castle is full of strangeness.

"Well, let's go, let's go!"

Mars also took advantage of the opportunity to talk with the captain to divert his attention. Before he left, he looked back suspiciously and found that it was the same. He was relieved and kept comforting himself: maybe the prince used to like this strange abstract painting style.

After this episode, both of them try their best to keep their eyes fixed on the front, and no longer look left and right at the grotesque portrait paintings that are easy to disturb people's minds.

In the dark place behind them, where the light couldn't shine, there was an oil painting quietly opened, from which an arm with a pistol was stretched out, and then a head came out.

Although the searchlight on the gunner's shoulder was shining forward, the light it emitted clearly outlined their bodies.

Link holds Glock 17 in both hands and aims with one eye closed

Bang bang!

Three shots in a row.

[you hit the mechanical cult fanatic with Glock 17 pistol, causing 27 damage]

one in three.

Link immediately drew back and closed the painting.

Mars was shot in the shoulder and snorted.

The fanatic captain immediately turned around, and the searchlight lit up the corridor, but no one was seen.

"How are you?" Team leader in the hands of the class with a machine gun aimed at the corridor, alert, nervous.

Mars pressed his shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "the shoulder was hit. It's not a fatal wound. It's not a big problem. Has the shooter been found?"The captain didn't dare to look back. He fixed his eyes on the corridor, looking for clues.

The footprints on the ground were made by them just now, and there was no other trace.

The roofs are also flat, so there is no place for Tibetans.

But the more so, the more strange the mood.

Is the shooting out of thin air, or is it a ghost?

Mars saw the captain shaking his head and looked down the corridor. Even if he was a scout, he didn't find any clues.

"Hello? I heard the shot. What's wrong with you? " The voice of his companion came from his ear.

"I was shot, but I didn't see the enemy."

"Is it serious? Do you want me to come and bandage you? "

"It's just that it doesn't get in the way. You should watch the front door. We can solve the problem here." The captain's steady voice suddenly said.

The painting in front opens quietly, and link comes out again.

Bang bang!

This time, three shots hit two, one in the waist and the other in the calf.

Mars was shot three times, covering his waist, and slowly fell down against the wall.

Two people have become frightened birds, the gunshot came from the front of the corridor.

Mars fell to the ground with a whimper in his mouth.

"Before and after the gunfire is Glock 17, which is the standard weapon of the mercenaries of the wasteland gang. It should be the two agents."

"Don't talk now!"

The gunner pulled the knight's armor and stood in front of him.

He immediately turned back, grabbed a knight's armor and stood in front of Mars.

There are cavalry armor at the front and back. It's hard to be hit if you hide behind the armor.

"I look at the back, you look at the front!"

Two people back-to-back, each defends one side.

The enemy appeared and disappeared like a ghost. There were no footprints or sounds on the ground.

Damn it!

Mars covered the wound in one hand and held the gun in the other. The gunshot wound at his waist made him sweat. Blood flowed from his fingers, just like sand.

They were nervous.

There was also a quick voice in the earphone: "what's the matter? Do you want us to come here for support?"

"The medical soldiers come here. The commandos guard the front door. Don't run around. Be careful of the enemy breaking through." Captain, keep calm, conductor.

Mars was shot three times in a row, and the one on his waist was the most injured. He was bleeding. If he didn't bandage again, he would really bleed to death.

"Hold on, the medical soldiers are coming."

The captain felt that Mars' breathing rate became slow, and his body shook back slightly, indicating that he was sober.

Every second of confrontation with the air in the corridor is a torment.

The enemy was haunted, even without a sound.

Although there was knight armor in front of them as a shelter, their nerves were still tense.

Sa Sa Sa

There was a sound of footwork from far and near downstairs. The captain's eyes lit up and said in a hurry, "Mars, hold on, the medics are coming up!"

Mars rubbed against the wall with a little force, his face flushed and his breathing became short.

"I'll be right here, waiting for me!"

The voice of the medic came from downstairs, followed by the sound of stepping on the wooden stairs.

Dong Dong Dong!

"Be careful, be safe!" The captain could not help but remind.

"Good..."

In the middle of what the medic said, there was a flash of fire at the stairway, and Glock 17's bullets were pounding like a storm.

For a moment, I only heard the irregular rolling sound from the stairway, and then there was no sound.

Fanatics captain and Mars eyes canthus crack, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

"Jason? Jason

“……”

The fanatic captain tried to shout twice, but there was no answer downstairs.

The silence is palpitating.

The unknown terror shrouded in their hearts for a long time.

"What's the matter, Jason is dead?"

There was a thrill in the ear.

"Jason has died. Be careful, these two agents of the wasteland gang are weird!" The fanatic leader's forehead was covered with beany sweat, which slid down the outline of his cheek to his chin, dripping on the wooden floor.

Mars leaned back against the wall of the corridor, his expectant eyes fading.

The medics are dead.

His hope of treatment is gone.

My heart is dead!

……

[you killed the mechanical cult fanatics and gained 500 points of experience]

while the medical soldiers went upstairs, link reached out from the gap of the stairs and grabbed each other's neck. He put a Glock pistol in his hand to the forehead and fired several times. Before the other party responded, he directly killed him.Let go of the collar, the dead and paralyzed medic rolled down the revolving stairs. Link disappeared at the entrance of the stairs, opened a secret door and disappeared.

Entering the secret door is a tunnel that can only accommodate one person, less than two meters high and half a meter wide.

There are many underpass forks, extending in all directions, which can lead to any level and any place of the castle.

Along the way, there are many small square windows about 30 cm long. At the end of the fork, there is a ladder leading to the upper floor.

This complex tunnel, which can lead to all parts of the castle, is just like the capillaries of the human body.

It exists everywhere, but it doesn't show up.

Wuthering castle is the place where link became famous, and this tunnel is the key to his success.

At the beginning of the public beta of destiny, countless players swarmed into the game and were randomly assigned to three novice planets.

Link is the first one among millions of abandoned Saturn beta players to discover the secret passage of cry valley. He also got a small fire in the forum because he received a level C mission in the secret passage. However, with the exploration and understanding of public beta players, more and more C-level tasks have been found, and link's enthusiasm has gradually subsided.

But through this secret passage, link used the same method to brush countless mechanical cult fanatics.

Want to surround him?

It's not sure who plays!

As he walked, link reloaded and came to the end of the tunnel. He looked at the manhole cover above his head with a smile.

"Suddenly appeared behind him, he should be very moved?"
