Liang thought for a while: "Don't worry, at least the hunter hasn't come yet. It's been two minutes, no, a little more than a minute, so there won't be..."
Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that the corner of the wall not far behind Lao Zhang had been shrouded in shadow, and a black smoke poured out from it.
So fast?
"Fuck, what is that?"
Lao Zhang turned around and saw the strange smoke. His eyes widened and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
This is... "Hunter"?
Smoke condensed in the air, and after a few seconds, a dark figure emerged from it. It looked like a beast, with skinny and slender limbs on the ground, but its head was like a human head, and it was still changing its shape, making it difficult to see.
A clear face. From the mouth of this terrifying and strange human head, a slender tentacle stretched out and swayed gently in the air, like its tongue.
"'Hunter'..." There was no need to speculate. The moment the monster appeared, Leon was sure that it was the so-called "Hunter".
The head of the "Hunter" shook, causing ripples to appear in the space around it. The invisible ripples spread. Both Liang and Lao Zhang felt nausea caused by a strong dizziness, as if they were spinning on the same spot for dozens of times.
The circle is normal.
Amid severe dizziness and nausea, Leon saw the "Hunter's" tongue slowly shrinking and gathering into a sharp thorn.
This is... the move that kills Stephen!
Leon knew he had to avoid it, but he was so dizzy that he could hardly move and almost fell down.
Damn it, it’s only one minute away, we can’t... we can’t be killed like this!
He took out a card. Although he didn't know what it was used for, Leon still pointed it toward the "Hunter" with all his strength.
Please, it will be of some use!
This card obviously cannot be used as a weapon directly. It flew a few meters and fell to the ground. However, the "Hunter" stopped shaking, and Leon felt that its attention seemed to be attracted by this card.
This...is somewhat useful!
He couldn't help but think too much, and Liang rolled and crawled to the edge of the rooftop. There was still half a minute left, and it only took a few seconds for him to land on the ground, so he couldn't jump directly.
At this time, the "Hunter" moved again, seemingly confirming that the card was extremely ordinary and had nothing to note. This time, it did not shake and cause ripples in time and space, but stabbed out its tentacles directly.
"Well——"
There was a muffled hum, but the person who made it was not Liang, but Lao Zhang.
"Old Zhang!"
At the critical moment, Lao Zhang jumped up and received the fatal puncture from the "Hunter" like a football goalkeeper.
"Phew, it hurts!" Cold sweat broke out from Lao Zhang's head, but he did not fall down, but instead grabbed the sharp thorns with all his strength.
"Xiao Liang, leave me alone. Anyway, I'm just a fake person. You are real. You have to live well and live longer than anyone else!"
"Old Zhang, I..." Liang gritted his teeth, "I know, I will live on, with a piece of you!"
Although the old Zhang in front of him is essentially just a dummy created by the mist of time, in Liang's heart at this moment, there is no difference between him and the real person.
10,9,8,7……
Lao Zhang screamed, and the tentacles expanded inside his body, destroying the organs in his stomach. Then he pulled it out of Lao Zhang's powerless hand, and the "Hunter" flicked the tentacles, eager to start the next attack.
Looking at the ground under the rooftop, Liang closed his eyes and used his last strength to climb out of the rooftop.
5,4…
Gravity pulled him down, and the speed became faster and faster. Liang could only hear the sound of wind in his ears. The fall only took a short three or four seconds, but in Liang's perception, it seemed extremely long. He did not dare to open his eyes.
He didn't dare to look at the ground that was getting closer. He knew that the next moment, his head would hit the hard concrete floor and be torn apart.
And when the next moment really comes——
Plop——
What greeted him was not the hard concrete floor, but... cold liquid?
The unexpected turn of events left Liang at a loss. He subconsciously took a deep breath, and the strange liquid poured into his mouth and nose, but it did not cause any choking reaction.
This water... tastes so bitter!
Liang opened his eyes, and the dark liquid enveloped him, carrying him downwards. Below was endless darkness.
At the same time, he heard dense murmurs coming from around him, like countless people hiding in the dark and whispering. The sounds came from all directions, but Liang couldn't hear a single word clearly.
What's going on now? Where is this? I, I have to go up!
With this idea in mind, Liang tried hard to twist his body, change direction in the strange liquid, and use the swimming skills he had learned in the past to swim upward.
A simple dog paddle. Unfortunately, even if Leon was so exhausted from the dog paddle, it still had little effect and he was still sinking.
There was a hazy light above, like the scene you see when you look up at the sky from deep sea water. It was a drowning person's yearning for air. Leon tried hard to swing his arms and legs, but he was unable to do so. He could not escape from the liquid.
bondage.
If I had known earlier... I would have signed up for a swimming class...
Just when he thought he was going to drown in this strange water forever, his flapping right hand was suddenly held by someone, and then the only words he heard clearly sounded:
"Found you."
As Leon was pulled by the irresistible force, he closed his eyes and felt himself being dragged up quickly in the water. Everything around him, whether it was the water or the vague sounds, was left behind.
The next moment, he sat up suddenly and bumped into something.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
Liang covered his forehead and looked around. On one side were the familiar fireplaces, sofas, and coffee tables, while Wein squatted on his right side, covering his mouth resentfully, and his words were unclear:
"You guy, your forehead is quite strong."
"Both each other, your front teeth are also very powerful." Leon covered his head, "It's all... over?"
"Yes, it's all over. Welcome back to the real world." Wein stood up and walked directly to the sofa to sit down. On the coffee table in front of him, the candle end had burned out.
Leon waited for a while before standing up. Everything that had just happened became blurry as he woke up, as if it happened a long time ago.
After calming down, Liang asked: "'Hunter'..."
"Don't worry, because you died at the right time, I was able to use a little trick to erase the 'Hunter' from tracking you, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
After walking to the sofa next to Wein and sitting down, Liang released his hand covering his forehead: "How long has it been?"
"It didn't take long, probably only ten minutes."
"So short?"
"Yes, Huang Liang Yimeng."
The utterance of this word made Leon feel strange, and he came back to his senses: "Wait, you didn't mean that..."
"Chinese? That's right, I learned it now, from your head."
"Well……"
"Why, in the illusion caused by the mist of time, I called your language module, then parsed it a little, and successfully learned the language - how are you? Have you eaten?"
"What you said is too rigid."
"Hey, I'm so confused, you little bastard is quite demanding."
Liang gave a thumbs up: "You should get started with the Chinese language book."
However, it’s okay not to mention the illusion. When it comes to mentioning this matter, Liang thinks of the image of Wein Niang in the illusion...
"Why, do you still miss Miss Wei Yin?" Wei Yin smiled, raised his index finger to poke his cheek, and said, "Little brother Liang~"
"It's so disgusting, get out of here!"
This guy is hopeless!
"And in the end, I didn't fall to the ground, but fell into the water. What happened?"
"Simple, I used special means to transfer you to that special seawater at the moment you hit the bottom. It was this seawater that cleared the 'hunter' of tracking you."
Wein switched back to common language: "If you talk about the illusion you just experienced, then everything is back on track. But our case is not over yet... but it will be soon."
The case...Leon almost forgot about it.
"At least we already know that Mr. Stephen used the Word of Time Candle to trigger the Fog of Time. In the illusion created by the Fog, he was pursued by a 'Hunter'. Although he escaped in time, unfortunately, he was still hunted by the 'Hunter'
He was targeted and eventually died tragically in the study."
Liang made a sad face: "The Mist of Time... By the way, there is also the ritual in the Land of Radiance. It makes too much noise, right? Such a simple ritual can be so powerful."
"It is precisely because simple rituals can trigger grand effects that extraordinary power is even more dangerous." Wein crossed his fingers, "But the reason why you can cause so much noise in the illusion is because there are no laws in your world.
.”
"Law?"
"The Church of Order and the Extraordinary Power controlled by Suzheng Bureau. Due to the existence of legal constraints, the use of extraordinary power has become very difficult. It can also be regarded as a kind of protection for ordinary people."
Looking at the clock, Wein lay back and said, "It will take Grayson a certain amount of time to sort out Mr. Stephen's identity information. Taking this opportunity, I should also tell you about the extraordinary elements of our world and the challenges we face.
question."
"Including extraordinary people, miracle lineages, gods, and disasters."
"First of all, speaking of extraordinary people, anyone who has mastered some extraordinary power can be called an extraordinary person, and you are now too."
Liang twitched his lips and conjured a card. What kind of extraordinary power is this?
He took out a card and suddenly stopped.
"Boss, my cards seem to have... changed a bit."
Wayne raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Leon turned over the card and displayed it. The card was no longer empty, but instead depicted a scene. It was the scene of the "Hunter" waving its tentacle tongue, shrinking into spikes, and attacking Leon.
"Interesting, when did it happen?"
"In the last few seconds before I jump off the building." Liang threw the card forward, "How about you take a look."
As the card came out of hand, it suddenly twisted, and then - the tentacle spikes of the "Hunter" pierced out of the card and went straight towards Wei Yin on the opposite side!
