Returning from the abyss

Chapter 209 "Weaving"

The man raised his hand and took off the hat of the raincoat. He didn't hide his appearance, because there was no need for it.

"Since there are two ladies, the necessary etiquette is also indispensable..."

With a low grunt, he leaned slightly.

"It's a pity that we met in such bad weather and time. I thought our first meeting would be more pleasant, Miss Lu Ning."

"You know me?" Lu Ning looked at him vigilantly, and slowly stepped back.

"You should have heard of me, Peter Charlotte, this is the name I like to use. Moira's agent, although you are not worthy of me personally, it would be great if you could attract Moira But that's all."

When the man saw Lu Ning retreating, he didn't stop him, but just watched with a smile in his hands.

"Are you the steward of greed?"

Lu Ning didn't care about revealing any information to Wei Yin at this moment, and she didn't expect that exploring such a place would attract the managers of the entire Eighth District.

"That's right. Of course competition is allowed between us, so I don't have any ill intentions towards you. After all, this meeting is just a coincidence. But Mo La... our little princess seems to have some interest in the competition for the Heavenly Kingdom Council." What misunderstanding caused her to be full of hostility towards each of us."

"You all know?"

"Why don't I know? Have you met my agent? Can't you get a glimpse of my strength from her ability?"

"Stop talking nonsense with him! Let's go!"

When Lu Ning moved to her side, Wei Yin quickly threw a flash bomb at Peter's feet, and at the same time pulled Lu Ning to turn around and ran out of the room.

The intense brilliance instantly illuminated the entire room, but Peter blocked his eyes in advance as if he knew it a long time ago.

The light disappeared, and the two of them had already ran out of the room.

"Oh...it seems that you won't ask Moira for help if you don't apply a little more pressure." Peter was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely towards the door, "It's pointless to run away, in my With the ability to weave, I can catch up with you at any time..."

The moment he stepped out the door, he kicked another trip mine that had been arranged long ago.

The metal cylinder rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound, but it didn't explode, and naturally it didn't cause any shocking effect.

"Traps, tricks, such things are useless."

Peter glanced at it, and instead of heading for the stairs, he walked down the hallway to a corner.

"What's the matter with that guy! Is he a capable person?"

Lu Ning and Wei Yin turned back and forth from the window and slid directly downstairs along the drain pipe.Wei Yin was still surprised by the other party's appearance along the way.

"He's the manager."

"The manager? He really is? I thought it was a bluff! But why is that guy so oppressive? I thought..."

"careful!"

Lu Ning grabbed Wei Yin urgently, preventing her from being hit by a car that suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Red light? Wait a minute...it was clearly passable just now..."

Looking at the rolling traffic in front of them, the two had no choice but to make a detour. However, before running far, a fire hydrant not far away suddenly exploded, and the water inside spurted out violently, cutting them off in the middle of the road.

Lu Ning hurriedly looked back, and Peter Charlotte had already walked towards the two of them unhurriedly.

"Let's go around!"

"do not!"

Wei Yin walked around the fire hydrant on the road, but at this moment, a cracking sound came from the road, the tire of a car suddenly burst, the driver failed to grasp the steering wheel, and the car slammed into Wei Yin's direction as soon as it turned. Come here!
Lu Ning quickly pounced and rolled to the side with Wei Yin in her arms. The high-pressure water hit her body like being hit by a heavy fist. However, the out-of-control car passing by less than one meter away from the side made people feel the approach of death even more.

Bang—boom!

The car collided with nearby houses, and an explosion was soon triggered, and screams and cries resounded for a while.Peter walks past the burning house, the smile on his face widening.

"how……"

"Well……"

Lu Ning barely got up, but found that Wei Yin, who was thrown over by her, was a little confused, and there was a fragment of a fire hydrant not far away. When she rolled over, she must have accidentally bumped her head on it. up.

No, it should not be careless.

Lu Ning raised her head and stared at Peter. This should be the second member of the Council of Heaven she had formal contact with, and he was indeed a very difficult person.

"Everything in the world will lead to different results with the passage of time, and all uncertain futures will be triggered by a past. Because of this, people's lives will be full of unknowns and miracles." Stand about one meter away.

"This is your ability?"

"Weaving." Peter nodded, "I can collect the future and infer the countless possible and inevitable results of the development of things. I have given this talent to my agent. Although I have mastered greed, I am also A very generous man."

"But..." Lu Ning sneered, "You can not only predict the future."

"Yes, weaving the future is the most critical part of my ability. Have you ever played that kind of multi-line game? Everyone in this world is just an NPC in the game to me, and which one to choose? The options, which route the game follows, is up to me, the 'player'." With that said, Peter raised his finger and pointed at the top of Lu Ning's head.

This is an old building that has been leased to many companies as a rental house, so there are many old billboards on the roof.

"That sign can't last long, will it fall? But how long? If there is no wind and rain, maybe the time will be longer, otherwise it will be shorter."

Lu Ning hurriedly dragged Wei Yin to avoid that position.

"But, I've programmed the future where that billboard is about to fall, and it turns out—"

click.

A gust of wind blew by, and the rusted iron frame was finally overwhelmed. After a light sound, the entire billboard began to fall downwards.

"Wei Yin! Hurry up and wake up! We have to leave..."

The billboard almost hit the two of them, and the splashed mud hit Lu Ning in the face, and Wei Yin was not spared either.But fortunately, being stimulated by the cold water, she also woke up from the daze.

"Hurry up and call Mo La, because you have no chance. Even fate wants to bow down at my feet, what can you two little girls with no abilities do?"

Wei Yin nervously grabbed Lu Ning's arm and stood up. Although she was smart, she had never seen such a battle.

"Don't panic." Lu Ning wiped the muddy water on his face, "His ability has two weaknesses."

The steps Peter was about to take stopped.

"I think something is wrong, but I don't know..."

"Even if he has mastered such a crushing situation, he still deliberately keeps a distance from us, so he must have some scruples, and this distance is a safe distance—right? Peter Charlotte!"

The last sentence, Lu Ning yelled out to Peter.

"So what? Two weaknesses? You are so capable, why don't you use these two weaknesses to attack?"

"Because the effect of the attack will be very poor." Lu Ning and Wei Yin continued to retreat, still dealing with Peter, "First of all, your ability cannot control people, or the future of living bodies? Otherwise, what are you chasing? In the future, the two of us suddenly fell down soon? And all your attack methods rely on chains triggered by various things, traffic lights, fire hydrants, and car tires..."

A look of surprise flashed across Peter's face.

"Second, it is also the most fatal problem with your ability." Lu Ning suddenly turned around and turned directly into a narrow alley.

Peter was taken aback, and Wei Yin quickly followed Lu Ning and ran into the alley. There is no doubt that Peter's stupefaction just now confirmed that his first weakness did exist.

"So what? My ability has no distance limit. As long as I can know where you are, fate will not be on your side!"

Peter raised his legs and chased after him, but when he turned the corner, he saw two fire trucks rushing towards him.

Lu Ning and Wei Yin were running forward at high speed, as if they didn't care about any accidents at all.

At this moment, Peter realized the other party's plan.

He could indeed detonate the fire hydrant again, but Lu Ning already knew that this was not a fatal attack after the experience just now, and it would be no problem to change the color of the traffic lights, but when the fire truck opened the road with the fire alarm on, the traffic on the whole road was giving way. The speed is sluggish, even if the two of them forcefully pass through.

The biggest problem is that this is his own district, he will never cause a traffic accident at an entire intersection just to chase two insignificant characters, but apart from accidents, there is no good way to temporarily Stop them.

"But it doesn't matter, I already know what you look like..."

Thinking of this, Peter stopped in his tracks, suppressed his smile, and finally looked squarely at this "Mora's agent".

"I have to say, she chose a very smart agent. It's a pity that no one can escape from my 'weaving', and I will pay attention to you."

Lu Ning and Wei Yin ran through several streets and stopped to catch their breath after confirming that Peter was not chasing them.It's been a long time since Lu Ning ran like that just now, and now she feels that she may be out of breath at any time.

"He, he can, change, the future, ha, ha... Lu Ning, what is the second weakness?"

Wei Yin's condition is not very good, but she can still talk.

Lu Ning rested for a long time before answering her.

"Delay, the delay of the future. He is constantly talking to us, but the attacks he launches are a little bit skewed. So every time he changes the future, he produces a large-scale attack to make up for the lack of precision. I judge that he is changing the future There must be a delay time, similar to three seconds and four seconds before the future can be changed."

"That...is scary enough."

"See? This is a member of the Council of Heaven. Once they target you and prepare to kill you, you have almost no chance. Even if I know these two weaknesses, I can't think of a way to bypass his ability. Wei Yin, although I still want to find out the history of the city, you shouldn't continue."

"Don't even think about it."

Wei Yin grinned.

"I've reached this point. I've even met the real members of the board of directors. You asked me to give up? It's like you asked me to go down the mountain when I was about to reach the top of the mountain with 100 meters left. It's impossible."

"It will die. You study history, don't you know how many people died because of curiosity?"

"When the truth is in front of me, even if there is a fire pit in front of me, I will jump into it!"

"No one has done it, have you ever wondered why?"

"Then be the first to do it!"

At this moment, an ordinary car stopped on the side of the road next to the two of them, the window slowly rolled down, and Saxiu poked his head out from inside.

"Excuse me, that... quarrel?"

"No, just to discuss a topic." Wei Yin walked over, and Saxiu also opened the car door and came out, taking out medical equipment to help Wei Yin treat the wound she had just scratched.

"What happened to you? Is there really any danger there?"

"There is a guard." Wei Yin watched Saxiu clean the wound and apply medicine to bandage it, and couldn't think of any words of excuse for a while.

"I told you it's dangerous there, why don't you check it?"

"Why do you mean the same thing as Lu Ning?"

Wei Yin turned her head to look at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning could only smile helplessly.

"Because anyone who hears it will feel very unsafe. You were attacked today. Who knows what will happen if I'm not around?"

Saxiu knotted the gauze, cut it off, and then looked at Lu Ning: "Are you injured too? May I help you deal with it?"

"Then please."

Compared to Wei Yin, Lu Ning didn't have any external injuries, but the part of her body that was sprayed by the high-pressure water before was a little painful. I don't know how Peter blew up the fire hydrant. He probably has internal injuries.

Wei Yin took out the square book from her bag, and in such a chaotic situation, she managed to sneak this book out.

"My dissertation is almost finished. Whether you support me or not, someone has to do it. It's human nature to avoid danger. I won't blame you."

"I won't avoid it, this is what I have to do." Lu Ning shook her head.

Sa Xiu just smiled, obviously no matter what Wei Yin did, he could only support her.

"thanks……"

"Thank you? We are never polite." Sa Xiu had already bandaged Lu Ning while speaking, and then opened the door of the back seat, "I'll take you home, it's safer."

"Don't you have to work at night?" Lu Ning was a little puzzled.

"It's always important to distinguish between work and family." Saxiu looked at Wei Yin tenderly and lowered his voice, "I don't want any accidents to happen before that day comes."

"You haven't..."

"Shh - can't help it, you know."
