Chapter 204 Mental strangeness
At this time, Twilight City was in chaos.
After 11's death, the "Seven Disasters" disappeared. 200,000 people in Twilight City woke up from a dream. They looked around blankly and found that the city was intact without any signs of destruction. The disasters in the past few days were like a
A long nightmare.
And now, the nightmare has come to an end.
Soon, cries rang out from all directions, and everyone discovered their "dead" relatives one after another.
Some of these people were crushed to death by collapsed buildings during the earthquake, some suffered from cold sickness due to the rain brought by the storm and froze to death, and some died in the gray curtain, withered as the eldest son, and woke up in the rain of blood.
Under the soldier's blade.
Regardless of the reason why these people "died", they were all lying in a spacious safe area. They opened their eyes one after another, feeling at a loss as if they had just slept.
The family members held them and cried loudly, and the joy of finding them turned into tears.
Throughout the entire Twilight City, there were no civilian casualties.
Although the so-called seven plagues are just an illusion, they are so real that panic is still spreading among the civilians. Some people even think that this is just a dream and that the real themselves have long been annihilated in the seven plagues.
The order at the scene could no longer be maintained. Parents picked up their children, lovers hugged each other tightly, and the children grabbed the hands of their older brothers and sisters and ran home and out of the city in a panic.
The limited number of soldiers simply cannot control such a chaotic crowd, not to mention that they are still facing more urgent matters.
In the central square, Lu Yuqing was being besieged by Twilight City soldiers. Her hands were constantly forming seals, and the talismans under her sleeves either turned into barriers to protect her body, or turned into surging energy to defeat waves of soldiers.
Although Lu Yuqing is a powerful Onmyoji, she can't hold so many people together, let alone a third-order soul master like Ai Mo. Her spell reserves and magic power have reached the bottom.
Now she can only drag it, drag it as long as possible, until Kino dies and the mission is over.
But this moment never came.
When Lu Yuqing saw the scarlet shackles on Qino's body broken, she stood there blankly, with a layer of mist in her eyes: "11... Did you lose too..."
Aimo noticed that Lu Yuqing was unsteady, and immediately grabbed the soul slave with five fingers and claws, and the ancient spell roared out: "Trapped in the soul cage!"
Black fire poured from Ai Mo's palm, turning into five giant pillars, penetrating the crumbling Yin and Yang barrier, trapping Lu Yu Qing inside.
"Come on!" When the soldiers saw this, they burst into wild shouts of fighting and surrounded Lu Yuqing on three levels inside and outside to prevent her from escaping.
However, all this is unnecessary.
Lu Yuqing in the soul cage did not make any dying struggle. Under the astonished gaze of the soldiers, she silently took out the knife she usually used to draw blood and drew talismans, put it against her neck and pulled it. The scarlet liquid bloomed like a flower, delicately
The body then fell down.
She chose the most dignified way to die and committed suicide.
The moment the soul cage dissipated, some soldiers became malicious and wanted to go up and insult the corpse. Aimo's sharp voice came: "Respect your enemies and don't do anything embarrassing!"
Aimo was the inspector of Twilight City, his status was second only to the administrator Kino. No one of the soldiers present dared to disobey him, so they all stopped and no longer approached Lu Yuqing's body.
Paladin was checking Kino's injuries at this time, and shouted anxiously: "Hey! Come and have a look! Something's wrong with the Administrator!"
Lugoame and others gathered around.
I saw Kino lying on his back on the ground. He was obviously still alive because he had a heartbeat and breathing, but he had no reaction to the surroundings. There was only a dull and empty look in his amber eyes.
Paladin was so worried: "No matter how I shouted, he didn't respond and just stayed motionless. What's going on?"
"My lord, my lord!..." Lugo pushed Chino a few times, but when there was no response, he suddenly said: "Is he asleep... How about I give him a punch?"
Paladin roared: "Get out!"
Lugo shrank his head: "I, I, I... I was just joking..."
Aimo stepped forward, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Kino's eyes. He couldn't help but gasped: "For God's sake, his eyes don't respond to changes in light."
Paladin hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by no response? Is this alive or dead? Please make it clear!"
"It's definitely alive, with heartbeat and breathing, and people are definitely not dead. It's just... I think about it... it's a bit familiar..." Aimo frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Yes, I
I’ve seen this happen! Those death row inmates in the Kingdom’s dungeons were tortured for a long time, and after their spirits reached a critical point, they would become like this – their bodies are still alive, but they don’t respond to their surroundings.”
Paladin was dumbfounded: "Does it mean he has become dementia???"
Aimo: "That's okay if you understand it that way."
Lugo was shocked: "Weren't you fine just now? Did you become dementia in less than twenty minutes? What happened?!"
In the eyes of everyone, the time had indeed passed less than twenty minutes.
But in fact, in Eleven's spiritual world, thousands of years have passed.
What is the concept of millennium?
The longest dynasty in previous history only lasted 791 years.
What's more, during these vast thousands of years, Kino was not in a coma, but was constantly sharing pain with 11's spiritual energy, and had endured thousands of years of torture.
Perhaps it was God's will in the dark. From the time 11 pulled Kino into the spiritual world until Bai cut off the scarlet shackles, 1095 seconds passed in reality, which happened to correspond to the year 1095 in the spiritual world. It was exactly the same as in Plan 11, except that the last part was missing.
It's just a "death penalty".
In a sense, even if 11 loses, it does not lose either.
Everyone tried every means, including pouring water, giving medicine, pinching arms, calling out names, and even had Lugo punch Kino, causing his nose to bleed, but Kino still collapsed on the ground without any movement.
The atmosphere was gloomy and everyone fell into silence. Aimo suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Based on my experience, living like this is a kind of torture. Maybe dying peacefully is the relief..."
As soon as Aimo finished speaking, he received a heavy punch on the face unexpectedly, and his whole body was knocked to the ground.
Lugo shook off the blood from his fists, holding the black night sword, with a ferocious expression on his face like a demon: "Even if he becomes dementia, he still has to live. I will pay to support him! If you dare to touch our administrator, I will kill you."
The whole family! Even the king can’t save you!! I said so!!!”
Soul masters are not like warriors. Soul masters' bodies are very weak. In addition, Aimo is old, and this punch knocked out one of his teeth.
But Aimo was calm, spat out a mouthful of blood, shook his head and said, "I'm just providing a reference. Even if we decide to do this kind of thing, we still need approval from the royal family."
Seeing that more and more soldiers and civilians were watching, Paladin felt something bad. He blocked Kino with his body and whispered to Lugobaisa: "It won't work like this. More and more people will know that something happened to the administrator."
, then all kinds of monsters and monsters will jump up! First, take the master back to the executive residence to recuperate, and then let the news out that his injury is getting better, and wait until later."
Lugobaisa expressed his approval. Kino came from a down-and-out noble family, not from a royal family. Many people were originally dissatisfied with his promotion to the administrator of the main city.
At this juncture, if we don't handle it well, a few people might come out who "take advantage of him and take his life."
The news of Kino's accident must be concealed first!
