Albert slowly opened his eyes and felt that his throat was burning with thirst. His whole body was enveloped by a numb feeling. Although he could move a little, he couldn't use any strength at all.
With the numbness and tingling pain, he looked around and found that he was in a cage of thorns...or rather, lying on a bed of thorns. Although the outside was pitch black, this
The thorns that bound his body gave off a faint scarlet light, which was an unpleasant color of blood.
The paralysis that he felt all over his body came from these thorns. It was probably the toxins on the thorns that caused his body to be occupied by the numbness. And this was really a clever design, not to mention the thorns that wrapped around his body.
, the "bed of thorns" he is lying on maintains its original balance due to his weight. When he lies flat in this position, the force-bearing area will expand, and the thorns will not penetrate his body, so
The numbness is not particularly severe; but if he regains his strength and tries to get up, the area of stress on his body will be reduced when he moves, and some thorns will pierce his flesh and inject toxins into his body.
inside his body, making him unable to move again.
When he realized this, Albert knew who had caught him. Except for the mole in the Hunter Association, there was probably no one else who would do such a thing. He fell into that mole.
In the hands of the ghost, the other party only used thorns and toxins to immobilize him, but did not kill him directly. I don’t know what the ghost wanted to do.
The young tiger man moved his body, trying to escape from the prison bed of thorns. But he still couldn't do it. As long as he moved, the poisonous scarlet thorns would penetrate deeper, pierce his skin and flesh, and make his body...
Occupied by a more severe paralysis, it seems that he cannot escape from this prison by his own strength alone. In this case------
"Xiao Bai?" Albert whispered, trying to summon the Holy Spirit White Tiger.
There was no response. It was expected. The other party knew Albert's abilities thoroughly. He had already known how to use the characteristics of the clone technique to harm Albert. Now there must be a way to prevent Albert from summoning the Holy Spirit. Any one is enough.
A powerful magic barrier can prevent the mage from casting spells and even prevent the appearance of the Holy Spirit. Naturally, Albert cannot use the power of the Holy Spirit while trapped.
And it is useless to summon his own clone now. The physical state of Albert's clone is determined by the physical state of the original self at the moment when he summons the clone. If his original self is completely unable to move due to paralysis, he will not be able to move from now on.
From this moment on, all the clones he summoned will be affected by paralysis and unable to move. As a result, he can't save himself even if he summons the clones.
"Nina, Nina?" Albert called in his heart, trying to get in touch with the black bunny girl.
But it was of no use. He was probably somewhere on the ground floor of the Central Temple of Lviv, or the thorns around him could block magic. In short, Nina's telepathy could not reach such a place.
Everything is ready... right? Now I can only stay here and pretend to be asleep, wait and see what happens, and see what other tricks the mole can come up with.
At this time, a voice came from outside the room.
"Is he still sleeping?" The sound came through the heavy iron door, a little distorted. Albert wished he could hear it more clearly, but he couldn't.
"Still sleeping. The effect of the anesthetic will not pass easily." Another voice replied. It was still difficult to hear clearly, but Albert could vaguely recognize that the voice was relatively high-pitched and should be a woman's voice.
.
"But what happened to the tiger that just went into battle?" The man with a lower voice said: "He ran out to encourage everyone, and also solved the [Ash Destruction Storm]. Could it be that the one you captured is a clone?"
, the one over there is the real one, right? Since we just caught a clone, isn’t this sneak attack meaningless?”
"No. Even if what is caught here is just a clone, it is still beneficial to trap this clone." The woman with a shrill voice said: "According to the report, when the clone is released, it will affect the original body, and the damage suffered by the clone will be affected."
It will be returned to the main body. The previous battle has verified this."
"so......?"
"So, as long as we catch this clone, we are equivalent to controlling his life. If we want to kill him, we can do it at any time. Give this clone a fatal blow when he is speaking most gloriously in front of everyone, or use this clone
In exchange for his life, he has to do things for us. No matter what he does, he can do it."
"Hmm...that makes sense."
"After knowing this, you should stop talking nonsense and continue to monitor the so-called deity." The woman said: "The deity's actions are very suspicious. I even suspect that he is someone else pretending to be him."
"But he did destroy [Ashe Storm]. The impostor can't do that, right?" the man retorted.
"God knows. Stop talking and leave." The woman seemed to be in a hurry to drive the man away: "Even in such a hidden place, letting others see us meeting will arouse suspicion."
"Okay, then------" The man's footsteps sounded in the corridor, and he quickly walked away.
If Albert's hearing was more sensitive, he might be able to roughly judge the size of the man from the heavyness of his footsteps. Unfortunately, he did not have this talent.
But he got an important clue. There was not just one insider in the Warcraft Hunters Association, he had co-conspirators, and there might even be multiple co-conspirators.
It's scary to think about it carefully. Is there a huge darkness behind the Warcraft Hunters organization? It should be a group of people supporting each other in difficult times and jointly fighting against the ferocious Warcraft in the Dawn Region, but there are always evildoers who want to rebel.
If the [Great Hunting Festival] fails and all the hunters in Lviv are wiped out, who will be the beneficiary? How could anyone do such a thing that harms others but does not benefit oneself?
At the same time, Albert also learned another important piece of information. Someone was pretending to be him, fighting outside, and even killed the city-bound annihilation-level monster [Ashes Storm]. The only people who would do this were Mutt.
, Albert couldn’t even imagine who it could be. That kid was really desperate.
So what exactly is going on now?
Mutt pretended to be Albert and fought outside, making the group of people who kidnapped Albert mistakenly think that Albert who was trapped here was just a clone, and that he was fighting outside. Thanks to Mutt's efforts
, the group of insiders relaxed their vigilance against Albert's "doppelgänger" here, and just used this strange prison of thorns to trap Albert.
They mistakenly thought that what was here was Albert's clone...
What if they mistakenly thought that what was here was Albert's clone...?
...With a little strategy, maybe we can take advantage of it?
The tiger man held his breath to prevent himself from making any sound.
Even though his body was restricted by anesthetics, his mind was still awake, and that was enough.
He concentrated his concentration and began to enter the state of [Transcendental Sainthood]. The black tiger stripes on his body began to glow and turned into ice blue.
The so-called [Transcendental Sainthood] is actually through meditation to further strengthen the connection between his deity and [Extraordinary Principles]. The [Truth] obtained from [Extraordinary Principles] will be expressed in a clearer and stronger way
Showing it, that is to say, the effectiveness of Albert's [Fourth Miracle--Kama Creation] will be strengthened.
Although, those scarlet thorns can block Albert's physical movements, and can even block all of Albert's magic, preventing him from even using the Holy Spirit;
But the [Fourth Miracle---Kama's Creation] is not magic at all. It is a [miracle] that transcends the laws of nature and comes out of nothing, and no device or means can prevent the [miracle] from being performed.
Therefore, he successfully used it. It was not [Clone Technique], but [Shen Yin].
He made his [existence] (Kama) temporarily disappear from this world. No one can see, smell, hear, touch, or feel him. He temporarily became an existence thinner than air.
, this ability surpasses all concealment spells in the world.
What kind of chain reaction will occur if this trick is used in this situation? The answer is obvious. His kidnapper will mistakenly think that Albert has just disbanded the "clone" here, and that the original self has already rested elsewhere.
"Hmm?!" Just now I saw a bright blue light coming from the room. The person guarding outside the door realized that something was wrong and hurriedly opened the door and entered. He just happened to see Albert who had activated [Divinity].
Albert's "clone" suddenly disappeared without a trace in front of that person.
"It's unbelievable... Can the clone be released under such circumstances?" the woman groaned. Unfortunately, Albert still can't see the woman's true appearance. She is wearing a device similar to a gas mask.
His entire face was covered, and the room was too dark.
The woman didn't quite believe what was happening in front of her, thinking that Albert just used the invisibility spell to make himself transparent, so she reached over and tried to grope Albert on the bed of thorns.
She actually touched it. Her hand pressed on Albert's chest. Albert could actually feel the pressure. But the other party could not feel the touch of Albert's body.
, [Shenyin] can directly offset that tactile feedback.
From a woman's point of view, she "touched nothing", it was like her hands touched the air. She was completely fooled by Shenyin's ability, because there were not many people who fully understood this ability.
"Damn, he really released the clone!" The woman became anxious and fumbled for the communicator fixed on her cheek: "[Vulture], the situation has changed! The little tiger's clone was released by him on his own initiative!"
"What?!" The man codenamed [Vulture] yelled from the other end of the communicator: "He can actually do this?! So what should we do next??"
"After the clone is released, his original self will definitely suffer the same damage, which means that the anesthetic on him must have taken effect, and the original self must be in a state of numbness and inability to move!" The woman replied: "After he is completely
There are about three hours left before the anesthesia is lifted. We can't delay it any longer. Find his true self and kidnap him again!"
"I understand, I'll go right away." [Vulture] cut off the communication in a hurry.
"You bastard." The woman also cut off the communication and cursed in a low voice: "After I find you, I will make your life worse than death."
She abandoned the cell and Albert in the cell, and ran out, eager to capture Albert's "self". (To be continued)
