The way back was much faster and much quieter than when we came.
The original team of two hundred knights suddenly turned into twenty-seven, including Lin Sen and Wu Huan, there were less than thirty.
Everyone is injured...
Even Lin Sen inadvertently scratched his arm by the monster's tentacles, and Wu Huan's calf was also pricked with a thorn. Fortunately, the thorn only pierced Wu Huan's clothes, causing some minor injuries.
scratch.
Now this thorn was held on Lin Sen's fingertips.
With its dark texture and cold feel, Lin Sen was sure as soon as he got it that this thing was not the armor structure of some kind of creature, but a piece of metal, a "living" metal.
"Sen, I think there's something wrong with this thing. Let's throw it away." Wu Huan leaned in Lin Sen's arms. She didn't dare to touch the sharp spikes because Wu Huan thought it was weird just by looking at it.
Lin Sen holding the spike felt more realistic.
But he didn't throw away the thorns. Even if it was really some kind of "living creature", he still had to find out what they were.
"It's okay. Such a small thing shouldn't pose much of a threat. Let's take it back first and see what it is before we make a decision."
However……
The beginning of many bad lucks is this kind of contemptuous curiosity.
Lin Sen now inadvertently brought the seeds of misfortune with him...
…
When Lin Sen and his party encountered an unknown and terrifying enemy and suffered heavy casualties, the Lemidians in the Oath Keepers Square also fell into a fierce battle.
Where did the enemy appear from and how did they attack? Lemidia couldn't figure it out and couldn't see it at all.
Although at a critical moment, the Set twins were summoned by the contract and were reborn, at that time, the Oath Keepers Square was already littered with corpses.
The battle between the Oath Keepers and these enemies that can lurk beneath the surface is a one-sided massacre.
Even though they were large in number, the situation was gradually getting out of control as they were completely unable to form a fighting force.
Although the Set Twins have been activated, their special operating mode requires two relatively independent minds to be activated simultaneously. The first thing Lemidia thought of was to ask Wu Huan and Lin Sen for help.
But just like what Lin Sen and the others encountered when they called for help, Lemedia could sense Lin Sen and Wu Huan, but was unable to establish contact with them.
Weird things happen every day, especially recently.
Lemidia still hasn't figured out how the three of them fell into three, and now it's like the signal has been blocked...
But these are all trivial matters, and Lemidia has no time to study them at all.
All she can do now is command her men and preserve the Oath Keepers' combat effectiveness as much as possible.
"Retreat to the temple! Don't fight in the square! Quick!"
Following Lemidia's order, tens of thousands of troops began to regroup. They no longer fought with the enemy, and the number of unnecessary sacrifices began to decrease.
And as Lemidia discovered during his observation, although these monsters that can sneak into the ground can swim as freely as fish under the metal ground, they seem to be unable to escape from the ground paved with boulders.
After discovering this, Lemidia gave the next order and successfully stopped the massacre.
However, it is not a long-term solution for more than 10,000 people to crowd into the not-so-spacious hall. Moreover, Lemidia is still thinking about Lin Sen and Wu Huan. What should they do if they encounter these things on their way back...
…
…
Perhaps there was really an evil person behind the scenes. On the way back, Lin Sen encountered the same kind of black smoke again as Lemedia had feared.
However, after learning from the previous lesson, Lin Sen and others did not provoke it again, but chose a relatively remote road to avoid the area where the black smoke was.
However, the roads inside the city are much more complicated than those outside. Without the help of the core of thinking, Lin Sen and his group of 20 people quickly got lost in the huge urban structure.
"Where are we?" After walking for a long time, a seriously injured knight began to hallucinate. He looked around and muttered to himself: "Are we... going home?"
Lin Sen looked back at him. The wound on his abdomen was huge, and the flesh and blood under the torn armor was blurred. Although the bleeding had been stopped, excessive blood loss would still slowly kill him.
"Brother, hold on! We are still on the way!" A knight near him came close to help him.
He was in a daze, and his saliva was dripping uncontrollably, like a dying man.
"On the way... something's wrong... I've obviously seen... our home... we're finally home!" The hoarse sleep talk continued, and his eyes began to become cloudy, and soon after, there was a pop from the phantom.
Fell down.
…
Another one died...
Feeling the silent sadness of these Oath Keepers who had been waiting alone for more than two thousand years, Lin Sen suddenly had a strange idea.
‘If I am Theos, known as Hope, the eternity that is even more powerful and lonelier than Prometheus, then what is the value of my existence?
Prometheus was born to ignite the fire of life in new colonies, so he was given eternal life. What about me?'
In fact, this was not the first time that this thought had appeared in Lin Sen's mind.
All these experiences have subconsciously brought up this issue, and then deepened it layer by layer.
From the very beginning, Lin Sen showed vigilant disgust, and then gradually accepted it.
He went through a long period of confusion... It wasn't until he watched Han Wensheng being swallowed up by the five-dimensional world before his eyes that he finally realized that there was a connection between the existence and death of human beings, such a big and unconceptual thought, and him.
So many connections.
No matter what he thinks, he can't escape.
So now...
Maybe only he can do something to bring an end to all tragedies.
The change in his state of mind was very subtle. When the improvement in state of mind appeared, perhaps in the eyes of onlookers, Lin Sen just suddenly closed his eyes and raised his hand.
But Wu Huan could clearly feel that Lin Sen seemed to have broken a door.
He once again completed his cognitive awakening...
Just like what he did in the high-dimensional space where Han Wensheng lived in the city-state of Twilight Sun.
After the restraints on the five senses disappeared, he slowly disappeared in front of everyone. Then, where his will was concentrated, the dead knight suddenly opened his eyes!
"Ah!~!" The knight suddenly sat up, frightening the people next to him.
The scene of the fake corpse immediately stimulated everyone's vigilance.
They all drew their swords and pointed them at the knight who sat up on the spot with a blank look on his face.
"You!...! Who are you!"
The knight looked at his hands blankly, touched the wound before, and then looked at everyone in surprise and said: "How come I'm alive again..."
Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Well?????!!!!"
