Returning from the abyss

Chapter 287 Hopeless Future

Xia Xinhe and Duan Qing have been silent all this time, and their disgusting external characters have successfully covered them up. At least someone like Lu Ning, who has always kept an eye on her, didn't expect these two people to actually play a game. put so big.

This is the real "turning the table"—these two people don't know what method they have mastered, but they are able to pull the time axis of this world to another dimension. This is obviously only possible for the terrifying existence of the witch Things, they actually got it done.

But for Lu Ning, Xia Xinhe and others, the world on that side is catastrophic. Time does not flow forward, but "upward". Since the mission of the distribution center has a time limit, she dare not bet on when it will be possible. was picked up.

And the final result, whether it is a world that is pulled to another time axis, or people who are left in this new time origin in some way, will live in a world that is completely different from the previous one.That's right, Xia Xinhe can indeed "live" with this trick, because his time is no longer moving forward.And the mission is basically accomplished, after all, the past on the original timeline is absolutely impossible to flow into this future.

The only chance at this moment is the only gap in the middle!
Fortunately, Zhu You was a very reliable teammate when he was not in mortal danger.

Under Xia Xinhe's astonished eyes, abnormal light began to radiate around Lu Ning, and those lights gathered into white particles in the air, which condensed and did not disperse, while the space around Lu Ning began to continuously drop gray particles, And a part of Lu Ning himself began to shatter, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to look into the town.

Duan Qing did not know when she had appeared on the far side of the road, she smiled at Xia Xinhe, and this smile made Xia Xinhe's unstable body return to normal.On the contrary, Lu Ning's side began to disintegrate faster.

"Farewell... Xia Xinhe, I hope you still have a chance to escape from the prison of time in this life." Lu Ning gave Xia Xinhe a deep look. This was the first opponent she encountered who could not analyze the flaws. Whether it's his acting skills in the early stage, identity control in the middle stage, or the handwriting that involves the entire mission now, this person is a formidable opponent.

Then, she started slipping.

Accompanied by countless black, white and gray particles, Lu Ning felt the weight of time pushing her forward again, but she knew it would not last long.The explosion of Witch's Bones is enough to create a gap in time, all she has to do is rely on this gap to escape back to the past.

"Lu Ning! What's going on? I saw your curved light signal and detonated the Witch's Bones. Are you okay?"

Zhu You's voice sounds like heaven to Lu Ning at this moment, which at least means that she has returned to the normal world now.However, one of her arms and half of her legs were granulated due to the explosion of the Witch's Bones. At this moment, she could only grab Zhu You and tell her, "Go back immediately! Go back to the previous time point!"

"I'll take you for a while."

There was the sound of flapping wings in the sky, Lu Ning raised her head, and saw a flock of birds covering the sky, and nearly [-] completely demonized demons, probably the remaining residents of Baihu Town today .

Sera had already grown feathers, and a pair of black wings spread out behind her. She swooped down and directly embraced Lu Ning and Zhu You, and rushed to the lakeside hut together with the birds.

"Why didn't you stop those two people?" Lu Ning asked Sera in a low voice.

"Because what they are going to do is no different to the witch, at most it is a disaster for us."

Serra smiled.

"Then where are you going?"

"Anywhere, we don't need coordinates," Serra said.

Lu Ning immediately understood that for these demons, there is no past that can be called home, so it is the same to go to any past.

"What will this future hold?"

"It will extend forever in the direction of 'up'. Because people are not only one-dimensional time creatures, but also can only move forward, and eventually they will be farther and farther away from the origin."

The devilish Sierra flew extremely fast, and the three of them landed at the lakeside hut 2 minutes later.

"Then, send them here." Sera put the two of them down at the door, then opened the door, and smiled back at them, "I wish you a smooth operation, and I will bless you in another timeline."

Then, she stepped into the dark doorway and disappeared.

Zhu You helped Lu Ning, and was slightly stunned. At this time, there were more landing sounds behind him, and the demons behind also arrived.They passed by the two in silence, and some of them would turn their heads and give Lu Ning and Zhu You an encouraging look.A sense of familiarity can still be vaguely discerned from these demonic appearances.

Innkeepers, blacksmiths, carpenters, doctors, forest rangers...

The names are not important, they are just the sum of the characters in the countless worlds, these demons passed through the door one by one, and then disappeared.

After the last demon left, the moonlight above his head had begun to blur.

"Let's go."

Lu Ning opened the door with her key and moved in with difficulty.

Inside is the wall that was smashed by Qiu Yiyun's hammer, but now it looks like an attack that couldn't be more gentle.Immediately afterwards, Zhu You also appeared behind, and she closed the door, completely isolating the crumbling future behind the door.

"It's dangerous... Lu Ning, will this affect our current progress?"

"Except that I need time to recover, the return ceremony won't have much impact." Lu Ning had withdrawn her mind from the dizzying scene before, but now she felt a little strange here: "Where are the people here? Didn't they fight? "

The house here is too quiet, as if Qiu Yiyun didn't do anything at all.But is it possible not to do anything according to her temper?
"Zhu You, is anyone there?"

"It's there." Zhu You nodded immediately, "The four of them are all in the hot spring room, but they didn't make any moves. It seems that they are still in a confrontation."

What happened?
"We may not have been away for a long time..." Lu Ning said in a low voice, "The flow of time changed when Xia Xinhe and I entered the world. I thought at least an hour had passed, but it seems to be very short."

"Then Qiu Yiyun's side..."

"I can't support her in my current state." Lu Ning leaned against the wall, and her missing arms and legs were slowly growing out, but this was a severed limb injury after all, and even a devil might not be able to do anything for a while. Just recover, not to mention that she has little time left to transform into a demon tonight.

At this moment, the sound of the wall being smashed finally sounded from the other side of the corridor.

Qiu Yiyun was disgusted. Dayan's destiny chart was not a defense she could break through. If only Shen Lishu was alone, she could kill him by rushing directly from the attackable position with her speed. But now Yiluo and Ye Chu With Qinghu by his side, there is no good fruit for forcing a frontal breakthrough.

Yiluo has also shown his housekeeping skills. Every human tourist is more or less given some means of resistance. What Yiluo is holding is a rapier thrown out of a silver cylinder. Compared to Ye Chuqing, this was just a blessed weapon, but Qiu Yiyun knew that once she was injured, it would be a large area of ​​burns.

To make matters worse, Shen Lishu used Ye Chuqing's blood on the tip of his tongue to draw out the second number of Dayan's horoscope, death fight.

Until dawn, both sides will be in such a state of probing or fighting. She can't even think of retreating temporarily, and Yiluo's appearance is completely ready to contribute a third mouthful of blood when needed.

"You are really willing to pay, even if I stand with you until dawn, until that old thing can't hold on, you will still die!"

"Dawn is the time for human beings." Ye Chuqing didn't accept this trick, "Just wait, we can survive one night, complete the task and kill a demon at the same time, this is definitely our profit."

Qiu Yiyun smashed the wall beside her angrily, but she still didn't dare to step into the hot spring room.

The small room is very suitable for azimuth learning. Ye Chuqing's three-vein and seven-chakra system is a rare all-round defense ability, and if she drives more than four rounds, she may be restrained. Yiluo's stabbing sword is enough Kill her when she slows down.

"Damn tortoise shell..." Controlling the field, defending, and assassinating, the three formed the most troublesome defensive formation, simply and effectively holding Qiu Yiyun back.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor behind her. Qiu Yiyun tilted her head slightly, and one eye suddenly slid to the back of her head. Seeing the person coming from behind, she couldn't help being happy.

The three people in the room all looked nervous.

"Zhu You! Quickly help me get rid of these! Our tasks can be completed separately!"

Zhu You, who was walking along the corridor, just spread his hands: "Forget it, you have to know that I am not going to take the murderous route, not to mention that once I am ready to attack, I will probably end up with you."

"You! Do you just listen to what Lu Ning said?"

"I think it's safer to hear that everything is going well than someone who acts recklessly. That's what I value most, don't you remember?" Zhu You walked to the hole in the wall opened by Qiu Yiyun, and said to the three people inside. He said hello, "Professor Shen, long time no see."

"I didn't expect you to be a devil." Shen Lishu coughed.

"For the sake of the fact that we acted together on the first day, don't be so unreasonable? Besides, I'm here to tell you an important news."

"What news?" Yi Luo stood up and asked.

Seeing their unfriendly expressions, Zhu You could only shrug.

"Lu Ning asked me to tell Mr. Shen that this place is Li. You probably didn't think about it before you came here, so she will tell you the result directly. The time should be the five quarters of Xu o'clock, which corresponds to this hexagram."

"Li?" Yiluo was a little confused, he didn't understand this.On the contrary, Shen Lishu's expression changed after hearing Zhu You's words.

"Also, Dayan's Fate has no effect on this, she is pre-set, and you can only interfere with things after the spell takes effect... Please don't expect that thing to protect you. It's time to leave now. .”

After Zhu You finished speaking, he ran away without looking back.

Shen Lishu quickly took out the pocket watch from his pocket, and was so excited that he almost fell down. Qiu Yiyun suddenly saw this opportunity, how could he let it go?Immediately, with a swing of the hammer, he stepped into the attacking position and rushed directly towards the three of them.

"A quarter past eight, run, run!" Professor Shen yelled hoarsely, not even caring about maintaining Dayan's destiny chart, and stretched out her hand to pick up the two narrow windows behind, Ye Chuqing unfolded a The two rings of yellow and green resisted Qiu Yiyun, and Yiluo didn't know if biting his tongue was still useful at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and use the stabbing sword to support him.

But nothing fell into place.

Everyone's actions were only halfway through, and they saw a very dazzling light, a fire, in the dark house.They are distributed in every hidden corner of the house, connected together with a series of simple triggering devices, which are hardly seen by ordinary tourists, the incendiary bombs of this era.

"Basically all my reserves are buried in the lake house."

Lu Ning sat on a tree and watched the lakeside hut in the distance turn into a sea of ​​flames. When she didn't need to take care of Zhuyou, she could use Shadow Leap to go to any safe place, as long as she activated the button in the lakeside hut before leaving. Just arrange it.

Who can escape depends on their ability.Qiu Yiyun always thought that Lu Ning wanted to save everyone, which was a completely wrong impression.Lu Ning is always better at killing people. She just wants to control herself not to block all the back roads when she moves, but she doesn't take special care of people who die in her plan because they can't find a way out.

The situation in the hut was even more dire.

The detonation of the incendiary bomb set the whole house on fire. For the lakeside cottage where most of the structures are inflammable, this fire is basically inextinguishable.It is better to have water in the hot spring room, but there is only one exit, which is a fatal problem - Qiu Yiyun is blocked in that direction.

She was still laughing wildly.

"Hahahaha! Isn't this a great support? If I did this earlier, I'll see who dares to be a coward here!"

It's not that the fire didn't burn Qiu Yiyun's body, but she peeled off the scorched skin directly, and the jelly-like devil's body formed a protective shell on the body surface, and stepped on the flames and started to get close to the burned skin. Surrounded by three people.

Ye Chuqing quickly took off her coat, soaked it in the hot spring, and threw it on Shen Lishu's body. She also stretched her four chakras to completely seal the surrounding flames out. Yiluo stood a step inside her defensive circle. She didn't dare to move, Qiu Yiyun couldn't help laughing when she saw this situation.

"You can only defend, right? It seems that this is your limit, and breaking this defense is as easy as popping a balloon!"

She threw the hammer in her hand directly, and the huge force smashed the two chakras in front of Ye Chuqing to pieces, which also made her spit out a mouthful of blood, and staggered back.

The flames finally rushed to her and Yiluo.

"Open! Run!" Shen Lishu tremblingly finally opened the small window behind him, barely enough to allow a person to crawl through. Almanac climbed up.

"Professor! You leave first!"

"Don't love fighting! She..."

"We know!" Ye Chuqing swallowed a mouthful of blood, interrupting Shen Lishu's words, while Yiluo looked at Qiu Yiyun who was approaching step by step, raised his stabbing sword and went straight up!
"You want to be the first to die? Not bad!"

Qiu Yiyun pulled out a small knife from her waist and slammed the stabbing sword away, and then directly slashed at Yiluo with a knife in her hand!

Click!

Another green ring shattered, and Ye Chuqing knelt in the flames panting heavily, blocking Qiu Yiyun's blow was basically at her limit.

"One of the worst problems with chakras is to keep yourself in a perfect cycle. Now... can you still do it?" Qiu Yiyun didn't care, she was shocked back a step, and immediately grabbed it again, and this Once Ye Chuqing couldn't gather strength to resist again.

However, the sound of burning flames, the sound of the house beginning to collapse, including Qiu Yiyun's laughter also covered up a subtle sound.

The hand knife easily pierced Yiluo's chest, but Qiu Yiyun's laughter also stopped abruptly.
