On the ruins of the city wall, a black severed finger was nailed to the surface of the stone by the Tian Congyun Sword.
"It seems that this time, the [Key to the Door] guy is serious about it... To launch an attack of this scale across the long river of time, the price he must pay is not small." The sound of severed fingers came out leisurely, and he looked into the distance.
The space-time vortex is gradually dissipating, and the corners of Zhi's mouth are slightly raised,
"Is it over..."
A wicker stick with eyeballs poked out from the phantom smoke and wrapped around the hilt of the Tiancong Yun Sword. Just as he was about to pull out the sword, a long spear roared from the distance and blasted the wicker stick instantly.
Into crumbs!
The tip of the spear pierced through the blood mist and stabbed the side of the severed finger accurately. He turned slightly in the direction where the spear flew, seeming a little displeased.
In the dust swirling with electric arcs, a figure wearing blood-colored armor and a young man in ragged clothes were walking slowly.
The moment he saw the young man, he was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:
"Is it you? Why aren't you dead yet?!"
"[Door Key] failed to kill me... Isn't that surprising to you?" Lin Qiye's expression was extremely calm.
The pulp of his severed finger faced Lin Qiye and said nothing. Logically speaking, the [Key to the Door] had paid such a heavy price, so there was no reason not to completely obliterate Lin Qiye... He didn't know which link had gone wrong.
But Lin Qiye was still alive, which meant that he was in crisis again.
"How is this possible...how did you survive?" Broken Finger faced Lin Qiye, as if he had noticed a slight change in him, and his voice was a little unbelievable, "You hid your own cause and effect?! You erased yourself in
Existence in the long river of time?"
Lin Qiye said calmly, "You are so sure that there is no hope for mankind, isn't it because there is the [Key to the Door], an all-knowing and all-seeing person, who is always watching the past and the future... Now, variables that are out of your control have appeared.
You said...what would I do?"
He stared at Lin Qiye with his broken fingers, feeling slightly startled.
He had thought that Lin Qiye's ability would be very difficult, but he did not expect that Lin Qiye could directly hide his existence... In this way, even the [Key to the Door] would not be able to see his actions.
Moreover, his past and future are all hidden. Even if the [Key to the Door] wants to change history, it will not be able to affect him at all.
In other words, Lin Qiye was completely beyond their control. His cause and effect was only in his own hands!
Imagine that it was almost impossible to accurately set up a trap to ambush Lin Qiye like this time.
Broken Finger's mind was spinning rapidly.
Lin Qiye was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from far away.
"Lin Qiye!"
Lin Qiye turned around and saw Chloe, who was covered in injuries, carrying a body with a willow branch and running towards here quickly.
She looked at Lin Qiye, who was covered in injuries, and walked towards here as if he was relieved, "I just saw thunder and lightning erupting over there, and I thought the person inside was you... You are not injured, right?"
Lin Qiye glanced at her and narrowed her eyes slightly,
With a flick of his finger, the Tiancong Yun Sword was pulled out from the severed finger, whizzing across the ground, piercing Chloe's heart in an instant!
A bloody flower burst out, and a look of disbelief appeared in Chloe's eyes. She stared blankly at the indifferent Lin Qiye, seemingly unable to understand why Lin Qiye wanted to kill her.
"You can't fool me a second time with the same trick. Just put away your thoughts, [Chaos]."
Lin Qiye held the Tiancongyun Sword that flew back, his eyes fell on the severed finger in front of him again, and walked towards him step by step.
At the same time, Chloe's body, lying in a pool of blood, strangely transformed into a willow branch with eyeballs, staring in their direction.
"You saw through it so quickly?" Broken Finger originally wanted to take advantage of Lin Qiye's relaxation to use Chloe to plot against Lin Qiye again. He even asked the fake Chloe to pick up a wicker to increase credibility...
After all, this is the last resort He left behind.
But he never expected that Lin Qiye would act so decisively this time, leaving him no chance to counterattack.
“Looks can be deceiving, but cause and effect cannot.”
Lin Qiye stood still in front of Broken Finger, with a cold light appearing in his eyes.
He stepped on the lower half of his severed finger, directly creating a huge crater in the ground. Among the flying dust, Lin Qiye slowly spoke:
"[Chaos], please listen to me... You can't kill me, and neither can the [Key to the Door]. Since I survived, I will get back the grudge between us sooner or later with all the profits.
Since I have returned to this era and become a variable that is beyond your control, I will not return empty-handed... The more you are afraid of something, the more I will bring you something.
From today on, I, Lin Qiye, will be the nightmare of your Cthulhu god system."
After the words fell, Lin Qiye suddenly exerted force on the soles of his feet, and surging power poured out. There was a loud explosion, and the severed fingers on the soles of his feet were crushed into bloody pieces!
"Master Marquis, help me burn him... don't leave even a trace of dregs behind." Lin Qiye spoke slowly.
Huo Qubing nodded slightly, hooked his fingers lightly, and a burning fire flew quickly from a distance, swallowing up the flesh and blood on the ground in an instant.
There was a crackling sound of burning, and a stench spread out. The two of them stood in front of the flames, and when the firelight swallowed up the last trace of blood, the world finally became silent.
"Cough cough cough..."
A red-haired girl wearing a priest's robe slowly walked from a distance, the colorful smoke dissipated little by little behind her, and her fair face was now covered with dust, as if she had experienced a tragic battle.
"Um...have you seen my fake?" Chloe walked up to Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing and asked.
Lin Qiye pointed to the willow corpse beside him.
Seeing this, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is Kusuen?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Is it that willow tree monster?" Chloe shrugged, "I killed him. Without those fakes to stop him, his body seems to be very fragile."
"That's good."
A glimmer of dawn rose from the end of the horizon, dyeing the dark night sky into a fish belly white. The pale sunlight swept across the bloody Chang'an city wall, and the three injured figures on the ruins, dragging their shadows very long.
…
"What are your plans next?" Huo Qubing asked.
Lin Qiye stared at the gradually dissipating flames. After being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"I want to make some preparations in this era."
"To stop Cthulhu?" Chloe thought for a moment, "These things are really scary... Do you have any ideas?"
"I'm still thinking about the specific plan...but I may need your help."
"Those monsters want to destroy all living beings, so naturally I will not just sit idly by." Huo Qubing said in a deep voice, "Lin Qiye, if you need me to do anything, just say it."
"Count me in," Chloe said seriously, "If everyone is killed, then there will be no more faith in this world."
Lin Qiye's eyes swept over Huo Qubing and Chloe. Under the dim light of dawn, the corners of his mouth raised slightly...
