Infinity Throne

A few minutes later.

Yi Lin and Oda Mai are done.

The insidious treasure chest turned into a tentacle monster, which was chopped into pieces. It stretched and wriggled like a bug on the slippery ground covered with mucus. It was no longer as powerful as when it first "jumped back".

"Walk!"

No need to explain, Oda Mai knew from the moment the treasure chest became "abnormal" that Yi Rin's appearance was not to snatch the "ancient talisman". She nodded, sheathed her swords, and followed Yi Rin away from the place.

The ancient ruins are as large as a small city.

After throwing away the group of monsters that came upon hearing the sound, Yi Lin and Mai Oda hid in a ruins room with a large hole in the ceiling.

The two of them were sitting in the middle of the room, back to back, sitting on the floor.

There is something special about this posture, and it is not just about relying on each other for comfort. Mere walls simply cannot provide enough "safety protection". The two of them leave each other's backs to each other. While resting to recover their spiritual energy or physical strength, they can react immediately no matter what kind of danger arises. .

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

This Oda dance is not the Oda dance Yi Lin knows, and many topics are impossible to talk about.

After being silent for a full hour, Yi Lin found a topic: "I will teach you how to distinguish between a real treasure box and a 'mimic demon' pretending to be a treasure box..."

it's actually really easy.

There are certain marks on the real treasure chest, such as scratches, moss, the remains of poisonous jellyfish, etc.

The treasure chest transformed by the Mimic Demon is very new. After encountering it a few times, many undead can see the difference between the two when they get closer. It is not a very mysterious method. Of course, Yi Lin planned to sell a favor and increase Oda Mai's favorability.

"No need." Oda Mai shook her head, interrupted Yi Lin's next words, and explained why she didn't need to: "I will cut the box first."

"...As expected of you. So how many ancient talismans do you still need?"

"Three."

"Okay, I will help you find it as long as I can keep my own safety."

Oda Mai turned her back to Yi Lin, and her breathing rhythm changed slightly.

"There's no need to refuse in a hurry. I've already said that on the premise of 'ensuring my own safety', I'll help you look for it 'by the way'. Besides..." Yi Lin paused for a moment, and there was a hint of lightness in her voice. Helpless: "If I'm not wrong, more than 90% of the next 'treasure boxes' will be Mimics."

Oda Mai thought about it for a while... but still couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked: "Why?"

Yi Lin picked her forehead: "It's just a reasonable guess based on the change curve of my own talisman-finding efficiency, plus a little rational 'empathy', and I came to an obvious conclusion. It's really too obvious, It’s so obvious that I find it boring.”

"Click."

Oda Mai pursed her lips, and she subconsciously shook the knife at her waist, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

I don't see anything "obvious" about it.

I don't know why, she should feel that this annoying way of speaking should be chopped to death, but listening to this man's words, she always felt a strange feeling, as if there was an area in her heart that she didn't understand. was touched.

Yi Lin did not dare to continue playing riddles, and explained concisely: "In the first 6 hours, I easily found 10 treasure boxes, 4 of the 10 treasure boxes were talismans; in the following 24 hours, I found 20 treasure boxes , there are only 4 talismans among the 20 treasure chests; and then until the previous treasure chest where I met you, I opened 34 treasure chests before I opened the ninth ancient talisman... By the way, tell me straight. , according to what I know about you, you probably don’t have the patience to touch the treasure chests one by one. How did you get your seven ancient talismans?"

Oda Mai bowed her head and remained silent for a while, then answered honestly: "Find someone, hack to death, and rob him; find someone again, hack to death again, and continue to rob him; continue killing, continue to hack to death, and then rob him."

To sum it up, it can be summed up in three words: find, kill, rob...re-read without thinking.

In the darkness, Yi Lin showed an expression of "It's not what I expected" and suddenly said: "Sure enough, instead of working hard to grab the treasure chest, wouldn't it be easier and faster for people like you to just kill people and steal the talisman? So? According to my reasoning, it is very likely that most of the talismans in the ruins have been touched."

Oda Mai nodded: "I understand."

She really understood now.

Next comes the mutual killing session that everyone loves to see.

As for the ‘empathy’ mentioned by Yi Lin, there is no need to say more. This sneaky "treasure hunting" model obviously does not conform to the bad taste of "above". Assume that a hundred elite undead are dropped into the ancient ruins. Each undead needs 10 talismans to complete the task. So in order for this mission to be sufficiently "interesting" and "gambling", the number of ancient talismans must be far less than 1,000.

Obvious.

Yi Lin and Oda Mai are hiding here now to rest as much as possible and recover before the other surviving undead react.

Missions above level 80 are no longer what they used to be. Without the resurrection coins, the undead's action mode will change from "crazy" to "insidious, cunning, cautious and suspicious", and this change does not happen overnight.

Some undead souls will still search tirelessly in the ruins, trying to avoid conflicts with other undead souls as much as possible, and they will react "It turns out that the amulet is gone" until the undead fight for the amulet and a large-scale chaotic killing situation breaks out. Rest time is precious.

The two were silent in the darkness.

No more talking.

Only each other's breathing and heartbeat constitute each other at this moment.

"call……"

At this moment, Oda Mai breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, I hate dark places."

When Yi Lin heard this, she became interested: "Oh? That's weird, I really don't know. Why?"

In the past, Oda Dancer didn't talk much and would never take the initiative to bring up his past.

Oda Mai lowered her voice and said in a distressingly calm tone: "My father, Oda Hanyu, is a shady 'underground profession'. He is in charge of a gang called 'Oda Club' Organization. I remember, one night, under the order of my father, the nanny took me out to play somewhere. We played until very late, and she didn’t take me home until I was very sleepy.”

"I remember very clearly that that night, there were no lights on at home, and there was no sound at all... not only my father, but also my mother."

When Oda Mai said this, she stopped talking without continuing.

But Yi Lin had already guessed the ending of the story.

He felt deeply ashamed of his "interest" just now, and he said seriously: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Oda Mai shook her head: "It doesn't matter anymore. Everything has passed. Later, the master took me in. My master was Miyamoto Genichi. In my mind, he was the strongest swordsman. He later taught I practice swordsmanship."

"Every night, I dare not sleep, or even turn off the lights. I turn on all the lights in the house, very bright. Maybe only in this way, I will not think of them. After the master found out, he taught How I overcame my fear.”

"He said that I can sleep with my knife in my arms at night. If I feel scared in the dark, I will cut out what I think is the sharpest knife at the place that scares me. He said that the most powerful thing a person can do in a desperate situation is The sword that emerges is enough to conquer all darkness, fear, hesitation, and confusion."

"Later, I was no longer afraid of the dark. I just felt it was simply annoying."

After Oda Mai finished telling her story, from an angle that Yi Lin could not see, the corners of her mouth curled up in a subtle arc: "You know, once, I had a strange dream. In the dream, I killed many, many red people. The 'evil ghost' in my eyes, I was seriously injured, and in a dark room, I applied medicine to myself."

Yi Lin was stunned. He didn't know what Oda Mai meant by this strange dream.

He didn't think it was interesting anyway.

Oda Mai continued: "I remember that in that dream, there was a strange man who killed ghosts with me. I remember that it was him who turned off the lights in the house for me. When I woke up, that dream The details have become very blurry, but I have always remembered that man's eyes very clearly. His eyes were very quiet. It was like the eyes that my master looked back and smiled at me when he put the knife in its sheath. .”

"Sorry, I rarely talk so much. I don't know why, but you remind me of the person in my dream."

etc……

Yi Lin was stunned.

This dream that Oda Mai had was clearly...

After Oda Mai finished speaking, she stood up and put her right hand on the handle of the knife casually. She frowned slightly and looked in a certain direction outside the room.

"somebody is coming."
