Night World Players

Chapter 25 I jump first, then you jump

Hiltina paused in front of the tall watchtower. Although she was in a port city, it was the first time she was so close to the sea since entering the night world.

But at the same time, Hiltina also heard the faint laughter mixed in with the sound of the waves.

The Iron Crosses came after them again. The starlight that penetrated the earth before could only scare them for a while, but could not last long.

Those Iron Crosses were intelligent. After they recovered from the shock, they quickly determined that the starlight that destroyed everything must have consumed a lot of energy on Hiltina, and now she was just a spent force.

In fact, Hiltina really couldn't use the Night Blade of "True Name Release" again. Her silver sword was already covered with fine cracks, and it could break at any time with just a swing.

Hiltina listened to the sound of the earth shaking. She knew that in a few seconds those fanatical Iron Crosses would turn into a dark wave and surround them again like they had surrounded Rast before.

But when Hiltina looked around, she found no other way to escape.

She slowly adjusted her breathing: "What should we do next."

Last pointed to the upright watchtower not far away and said, "Go up."

……

bang bang bang-

Hiltina and Rast rushed into the watchtower and quickly went up the spiral stairs.

This watchtower had obviously not been used for a long time. The spiral staircase was covered with rust and moss, and the accumulated dust fell as the two people walked on it.

"I was actually quite surprised. I didn't expect that I would be recognized as your companion."

Last smiled and said, "I thought that a young lady of your age, a young noble who was spoiled in the academy, would subconsciously reject or even dislike me after seeing how I blew up half the city to stop the evil god from coming."

"In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of massacre is no different from genocide. Maybe someone will even say that the life of an Iron Cross is also a life..."

"Aren't you worried that you've released an uncontrollable madman from the night world?"

"It seems that I have really been underestimated."

Xiltina looked at the stairs that kept shortening above her, and her voice echoed in the closed tower: "Not to mention that this is just the historical remnant of the night world, not a real city."

"Even if everything in Deep Blue Harbor is true, what you did is also what Starry University will definitely do - no matter what the means, no matter the cost and sacrifice, we must nip the disaster in the bud."

Luster raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems that you are more extreme than I thought."

"This is natural. Otherwise, I would not be able to awaken the Night Blade, let alone become a Night Traveler."

"You're not the only one."

Hiltina paused at the end of the spiral staircase, then reached out and pushed open the iron door at the top.

"Every night traveler who has abandoned the glamorous identity of the outside world and walks in the night world where there are no laws and morals, accompanied by the remnants of history, madness and pollution..."

"They are all outright freaks, bigots and lunatics in the eyes of others."

……

The iron gate opened, and Hiltyna stepped into the observation deck at the top of the tower. The heavy rain had stopped, leaving only misty rain in the air.

The setting sun flooded into her sight like a tide, and in the distance, the huge sun had already touched the sea surface.

Below the tower is a steep cliff. Tens of millions of tons of sea water are surging under the cliff. The waves sometimes hit the black rocks and break into white waves.

Hiltina walked to the edge of the observation deck and gazed at the sea below, which was dyed crimson by the afterglow of the setting sun. The wind lifted the skirt of her knight's uniform, making a rustling sound in the sky.

It was not until this moment that she understood what the alternative plan Last was talking about.

The spiral staircase behind the two of them began to shake again. The pursuers had arrived. From a distance, they looked like the sea, a dark ocean formed by thousands of iron crosses, and the watchtower where Last and Hiltina were sitting was an isolated island in the ocean.

At this moment, those sadistic creatures were climbing up the spiral steps of the tower. In a few minutes they would appear on the observation deck, and Rast and Hiltina had nowhere to escape.

This is truly a place without heaven and earth. There is no way to go up to the sky and no door to enter the earth. Their only way out is the roaring sea under the cliff.

"You mean the alternative plan is jumping into the sea?"

Hiltina's eyes swept across the rugged cliffs, estimating the height of the watchtower and the difference between the cliff and the sea level. The height was at least 60 meters, and probably more than 70 meters.

"You should know that falling into the water from this height is not much better than falling directly on the concrete ground."

"I know, but aren't you a chariot? This height shouldn't be a problem for you."

"What about you? What should you do?"

Hiltina turned slightly and looked at Rast, her light brown eyes reflecting the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun.

At this moment, the effect of the serum had worn off, and the hideous black cross was gradually fading from Rast's body, revealing his original pale complexion. It was obvious that the Iron Cross's strong physical fitness and self-healing ability had disappeared from Rast's body, and he had become a normal boy again.

"Don't tell me you're going to sacrifice your life again."

A hint of a smile appeared on Rast's pale face. "Since I owe Miss Hiltina 1600 kels, I'm not going to die so easily before I pay off my debt."

"So you've also practiced high diving?"

"No, but my parkour skills are at the master level. This is a skill I've honed through countless battle royales. It's one of my best skills, and it's similar to my marksmanship." Last said softly, "The force-releasing technique in high-rise parkour has something in common with high-altitude diving."

Hiltyna stared into Last's eyes, and only stopped after confirming that Last's words were not false: "In that case, I will jump first, and I will meet you from below, and then you can jump after me."

"is that OK?"

The moment she saw Luster nod, she leaped over the railing of the lookout and disappeared into the raging waves below the lighthouse.

"I always feel that the order in which we jumped into the sea seems a little different from what was written in the movie script." Last smiled bitterly.

He listened to the footsteps getting closer behind him and took a step forward as well.

Ten seconds later, the Iron Crosses broke out of the door and searched the watchtower aimlessly, but all they got in response were the steep cliffs and roaring waves. It was difficult to find any trace of Rast and Hiltina.
