Abyss Train

Chapter 742 Hero

Round and round, again and again.

The bighorn deer fell from the tree -

——He is still a newly created person, a ghost in the cracks of time.

The Möbius loop created by [A Way Out] is so solid that most of the soldiers in the third scout squad, represented by squad leader Jeffreys, are trapped in this terrifying and bizarre loop.

The psychic powers of the three life-saving feathers are all related to time and space. They echo each other, and their powerful psychic qualities gather on the leader of the alliance, forming a stable triangle.

[Sing For Me] gave Judah the power to change his fate and predict his fortune.

[A Way Out] grants Judah the ability to move quickly, recover from injuries, and escape to the cracks in time and space to survive.

[Skyborn] gives Judah the ability to reform himself and live again.

This is the terrifying and powerful enemy that Aohen Mingde encountered. Since the birth of the slave society, the religious idols with wings of light and the sacred sky eagle as totems have been secretly manipulating the society and changing the course of history.

The weapons in Aohen Mingde's hand, besides the panacea, are only ideals, freedom and love. They evolve into more abstract nouns - becoming the "inevitable path" of life. People who walk on the "inevitable path" will always gain courage, be favored by the goddess of luck, and be able to change their own destiny.

But the brothers and sisters trapped in Mobius can't wake up -

——Just like the story paradigm itself carries a strong sense of fatalism, these drowning people cannot save themselves no matter what.

Jeffries still shoots at his past self.

Tom will still fall in love with Sister Cuiyun who rescued him.

The fate of the two people is entangled in a dead knot in the cracks of time and space. Mobius's ingenious design is like a dream.

Everyone has a vulnerable side, and the dreamland will target these weaknesses to create a warm and comfortable haven, causing people to involuntarily let down their guard and gradually indulge in the dreamland of illusion.

After cleaning up the remains of Judah, Jiang Xueming walked towards the boundary marker of Emperor Ai's Mausoleum without hesitation.

He looked at the eight-character relief that read "By the Will of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees" and the detailed sixteen-line inscription on the mausoleum marking the date and construction orders. If he took this step, he would have to face a completely different spiritual pressure and completely unknown psychic power.

He knew nothing about the "A Way Out" described by Teacher Su Ling, including the term "A Way Out", which he had heard from folk rumors among towns and villages.

——Things need to be done one by one, and problems need to be solved one by one.

In his opinion, Judah was already dead, and the remaining life-saving feathers were nothing to be afraid of. Now he had the sub-gold material as a bridge and could borrow the power of his defeated opponent. He no longer had any worries and could boldly go for it.

"I won't go in with you." At this time, your brother Ling was unexpectedly steady.

Jiang Xueming: "I thought so too. Did you leave me a photo?"

"I've kept it a long time ago." Su Ling took out a photo from her tattered basketball vest.

She originally thought that if something unexpected happened during the gunsmith's assassination of Judas, this photo could be used as a archive to safely take the gunsmith away from the roads around the boundary marker, and [A Way Out] could also be used by them - the enemy's power is often the most useful power.

Now the gunsmith has to go deeper into the Aizong Mausoleum, so this photo becomes a safety card. If the gunsmith also disappears inexplicably, perhaps the power of the Polaroid camera can bring him back - after all, the symbol of [A Way Out] is the photo and the camera. The ritual to activate the superpower is the action of "shooting", and if the enemy presses the shutter at the gunsmith, he will only be sent back to the last save point.

Without saying much, Jiang Xueming was fully armed and asked Teacher Su Ling to remain alert, while he himself moved towards the farmland around the Ai Zong Mausoleum area.

The sunlight gradually became more scorching and the environment gradually became brighter. After just ten minutes, he found some clues.

In a farmer's yard, there are many footprints around the vegetable garden.

——No matter how careful and cautious the brothers of Quick Knife were, they were still anxious and impetuous in the process of hunting Judas, leaving these traces behind.

"Size 44 shoes, weight is about 88 to 95 kilograms, this is the footprint of a giant deer."

The gunsmith crouched in the vegetable patch, carefully examining every trace.

"Tom is a little late."

"Then the observer from Group A of Shift 3 is here."

He found fragments of the grenade.

"There was an explosion here. It can be confirmed that it was a bomb from a giant deer, judging from the explosion point."

The concrete floor was left with radial smoke from the explosion, as well as charred burn marks and soot particles, telling a silent story.

"Did he accidentally touch the grenade?"

The gunsmith couldn't understand what was happening at the scene, so he followed the trail all the way to the farm's storeroom, and when he got to the window, he followed the tracks left by the big-horned deer and leaned against the small window.

"That's the road Judas's caravan came out from, Jeffreys—you watch the enemy from here."

"somebody is coming."

The gunsmith tilted his head and looked at the hole on the side of the haystack. It was the indentation caused by the elbow.

——According to the task execution standards, when maintaining a prone alert state, the body's center of gravity must be evenly distributed between the two arms. Even if it is only one arm, the entire forearm must be used to support the body to maintain a stable muzzle pointing.

Jeffreys suddenly elbowed Haystack. Apparently, the team leader was adjusting his lying position when he noticed a new target behind him.

"What is it? There is no dandruff, only the footprints of the elk's shoes, and a little moisture left by the rain."

The gunsmith returned to the warehouse entrance, pressed hard against the wooden floor, and found a few strands of black cat hair.

"The pheromone mixture used to drive away the disaster beasts didn't work?"

He was surprised.

"——Because of a house cat, you exposed your whereabouts and were discovered by the residents here?"

Gradually reconstructing the scene that Jeffreys encountered, Xueming felt more and more strange. It was actually possible for the civilians of Ai Zongling to stop the elite soldiers of Kuai Dao - this sounded incredible.

Although Anonymous had no mass base in Shambhala, these elite soldiers were experienced warriors with many merits and naturally knew how to deal with such emergencies. In this time-sensitive and urgent situation, Jeffreys should be able to handle such a small problem.

Xueming's doubts were soon answered -

——There are two Polaroid cameras enshrined in the shrine in the main hall.

"You actually gave soul power to civilians? You can give this kind of superpower without blood?"

Fickwood Abby is a scholar who was born as a sorcerer. In order to meet Judah's survival needs, he must share his talent for sorcery. Without using the method of blood transfer, he must also make the power of [A Way Out] universal and popular.

To put it in a more intuitive way -

——There was once a popular horror movie called "The Ring".

If Sadako's psychic curse is regarded as a kind of soul power, its ritual process is complicated and takes seven days to curse the target to death, but the activation conditions are very simple and the caster does not need psychic talent. Any ordinary person can use this videotape to complete the ritual of cursing to death.

Fickwood spent the first half of his life focusing on the universal development of [A Way Out]. It was this universalization that made him Judah's life-saving feather. Whenever Judah was in a life-or-death crisis, even ordinary people could take photos for Judah and send the leader of the alliance to a safe place.

Most of the civilians in the Aizongling area, whose families work for the Super Deep Hole Complex, can obtain unconditional protection from [A Way Out].

Haoshou Tianzun has become a highly respected deity in the minds of local people. Polaroid cameras can help these farmers drive away wild beasts and demons.

There would be conflicts among the residents and fellow villagers - but they used Polaroid cameras to take pictures of each other and create Mobius for each other. As the master of Soul Power, Fickwood was like a peacemaker and could immediately sense the changes in the spirits.

For example, Xiao Wang from the east end of the village fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Zhao family from the west end of the village. He used the ability of [A Way Out·生路] to create Mobius and sent the entire Zhao family into the time rift. He took this opportunity to commit a crime and raped the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. It is possible that when the whole process reached the stage of taking pictures, old man Fickwood had already sent the fishman vanguard to the scene to stop the murder.

If the residents of the villages and towns want to use Polaroid cameras for personal gain, they will not be able to get past the gods who are above their heads. However, as a tool to protect their homes, it is a top-level magic weapon rarely seen in the world - that is why Jiang Xueming was able to find these cameras in the shrine. They have become a symbol and a religious belief.

Jiang Xueming felt speechless and stunned.

  ——Seeing the Polaroid in the shrine, this kind of transcendence of time and space seems to have a kind of slave society in Shambhala.

"Please pay homage to the air-conditioning bodhisattva. The air-conditioning saved my life in the hot summer."

“Greetings to the video game bodhisattva, video games heal my rotten soul.”

“I pay my respects to the WIFI router bodhisattva. Wireless network makes me spiritually sublime.”

It sounds bizarre, but it actually happened right before my eyes. It was so real.

This Lord Feather is completely different from the religious founders that Xue Ming had dealt with before. No capitalist is willing to distribute core assets and means of production to these ordinary people, let alone super soul power.

"You are the most generous blood-giving monster I have ever seen."

He was so engrossed in watching that he still couldn't figure it out - what exactly did Feather Master want to do? Where did Quick Knife's brother go?

A villager slowly walked over from the other end of the farmland. Jiang Xueming was prepared. He hid towards the side hall to avoid the camera - he was unsure of the mental state of these ordinary people.

Xueming initially thought that perhaps the farmer of this family was also a blood-giving monster, and that the soldiers of Kuaidao fought to exhaustion and became prisoners.

Now it seems that all the clues point to one result. The Quick Knife Squad was defeated by these civilians. Team A of Class 3, led by Jeffries, entered the farm and never left. They were beaten by these civilians with cameras.

He waited in the side hall, maintaining absolute silence.

When the man stepped into the room, Xueming was still thinking.

This method of taking photos to defeat the enemy is very similar to a horror game——

——Although he had little exposure to video games or computer games, Ah Xing often played games on the first floor of JoeStar.

There is an exorcism game called "Zero·Red Butterfly", which uses photos to drive away ghosts. Perhaps for these civilians, Polaroid cameras can also drive away soldiers with sharp swords.

He finally thought of some details and found the complex characteristics of [A Way Out] from the fragmentary clues. As long as it was not captured by the camera, nothing strange would happen.

"Master's house."

He took the initiative to ask questions the moment the farmer put down the basket. He took away the "god statue" in the shrine in advance - he wanted to ask clearly.

"Don't come over here again. I took the camera from the shrine. I won't hurt you."

"You...you...you...are you also a demon?" The man's voice sounded extremely frightened.

Completely different from Tom's experience in the time and space rift, the real world never has these complicated time-travel scenes.

The owner of the farm is a native of Ai Zongling and is an honest and hardworking farmer.

For this family, three strange men in black came a while ago. When the little daughter heard the cat calling, she ran to the warehouse to check.

The couple came out to look for their children and found strangers in their house. So they followed the instructions of Haoshou Tianzun and used the "magic weapon" in the shrine to lock up the invaders - it was that simple.

The people in the Ai Zong Ling area are simple and honest. The lights are bright during the day and the doors are not locked at night. For the neighbors of Baibei Port, this place is simply a paradise, a real pastoral fairyland where the gods live.

As for the "evil demon" mentioned by the male host, it is a religious story told by Tiangongyuan.

The warriors of the Nameless often wear carrying gear, MOLLE systems and various bulletproof shields, night vision goggles and multimedia centers. These modern protective gear have become religious art paintings of Tiangongyuan and symbols of "evil". The flash butterfly clothes headed by the gunsmith are the armor of the devil.

In this way, if Kuaidao wants to sneak into the Aizong Mausoleum fully armed, the defense force they need to face is no longer the blood-giving monsters or the elite fishmen, but every ordinary person living around the complex.

Hearing the name "evil demon", the gunsmith had already guessed most of what was going on. Without a mass base, it would be almost impossible to capture the tomb of Emperor Aizong in a short period of time.

"I'm not a demon." He quickly made peace, and the primary goal of the mission became bringing his brothers home.

"I wanted to know what happened. I came from Baibei Port and heard the waiter in the restaurant say that Baishou Tianzun wanted to see Di Lao - I was curious so I followed him."

"Oh." The host's mood eased when he heard the name of "Haoshou Tianzun". When he heard the word "Di Lao", his tone became friendly: "Then why are you hiding in my inner room? I won't chase you away. I will call Nu Lei and Nu Tao to pick you up. Put the magic weapon back."

Nu Lei and Nu Tao are the fish-men captains who are responsible for collecting grain and managing the chieftain militia in the area of ​​Emperor Aizong's mausoleum. They are also the parents of these farmers.

The gunsmith did not show up immediately, but slowly put the two cameras that the family had worshipped back on the floor of the lobby.

——He took away the medicine bag and the photo-slurry photo, and at the same time called on Fragrant Dream to extend its spiritual arm.

The shadow of the farmer was reflected from the big cat's forearm armor. He often used his spirit as a mirror to observe targets outside his field of vision. Now that Fragrant Dream had changed into a set of golden armor, the image reflected from the mirror of the arm guard became blurry - but he could still see some things clearly.

The farmer had no weapons or cameras, and looked honest, without any psychic inspiration. Even when Fragrant Dream stretched out an arm, the farmer did not react.

Jiang Xueming breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stuck half of his head out.

"Brother, I left everything here."

The farmer pulled out a bench and sat down against the door frame. He was still very nervous, but not as scared as he was at the beginning. When he saw Jiang Xueming's face, he felt friendly.

"What are you doing in my room?"

Jiang Xueming responded: "How many people did you catch recently?"

The farmer waved his hand and replied, "That is an evil spirit."

At this point, the sturdy man who had been hunched over in the fields and harvesting vegetables for years straightened his back and responded with satisfaction.

"My wife and I used magic weapons to capture them! The Nu Tao Immortal even praised us for doing a good job."

Jiang Xueming: "Take them in?"

"There are also two people caught in Tianjia Nong, and Lao Zheng in Hutao also caught two." The farmer replied nonchalantly, "They are all the evil demons that Baishou Tianzun talked about. You..."

Because Xueming was wearing a monk's robe, the farmer didn't think too deeply about it, and it wasn't as thrilling as the last time he encountered the evil spirit.

——Jeffreys had just arrived and bumped into the little daughter of this family without any chance to question or communicate.

"Are you a monk?" asked the farmer.

Jiang Xueming continued talking about this topic, telling lies one after another.

"Yes, I am a monk, a disciple of Lingguang Buddha."

"Oh! Oh! The Lingguang Buddha!" ​​the farmer exclaimed in surprise, "These evil spirits followed the Lingguang Buddha!"

Jiang Xueming walked out of the side hall, came to the lobby, and began to persuade earnestly.

"Brother, if you have a way to catch them, can you let them go?"

"Release? Why?" The farmer asked in confusion, "Why? The Thunder Immortal didn't even give me a reward, so should I release him? I don't know how to release him. Is Lingguang Buddha going to release the evil demon?"

"That's right." Jiang Xueming continued, "My Buddha is merciful. He said that the demon king of the sixth heaven, Po Xun, can also gain good results through Buddha's affinity. These evil demons from other sects will also have a chance to achieve the right results. I want to take them back."

"Ah" The farmer was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of such a saying -

——Usually, it was the Thunder Immortal who took over the White-headed Heavenly Venerable to handle these matters, because Fikewood Abby's spiritual power also had its limits, and the continuous operation of Mobius would consume his spiritual power. If the villagers used cameras to take pictures of birds and animals, and drove away snakes, rats and poisonous insects, they should also report them regularly.

"Well, well, wait a moment, Arhat." The farmer called Jiang Xueming "Arhat". The giant descendants around Lingguang Buddha were all Vajra Arhats, so they naturally called him that as well. "I'll call the Nulei Immortal to help you."

"Oh" Jiang Xueming didn't say anything. Having said that, if he continued to make up a story, he would probably be exposed.

As for this Angry Thunder Immortal, he should also be an elite fishman in the Ai Zong Mausoleum area. If they come into close contact, they will probably be exposed. Tiangongyuan repeatedly warned the locals and repeatedly promoted the "celestial demon" image of the gunsmith. As long as these fishmen smelled the scent of Fragrant Dream and felt the slightest spiritual pressure, they would immediately be alert.

Xue Ming couldn't point out the merit list and explain - I killed your six star official brothers yesterday, and this morning I took the disciples and grandchildren of Lingguang Buddha with me, right?

By then, everyone will be face to face and things will become awkward.

It was too difficult to communicate with the farmer brothers, so Xueming decided to get straight to the point and attack with a different train of thought.

"Brother! How did you subdue these evil spirits? I'm very curious!"

Seeing the Arhat's interest, the farmer became more and more proud and told him the secret of [A Way Out] and the conditions for activating Mobius.

"My wife just got up! She got up late."

"Then she saw Little Darling, and she went out and chased him into the granary."

"The evil demon squatted by the window and stared at the sedan chair of the Lingguang Buddha."

"I was so scared that I immediately grabbed my little darling and walked into the house."

"Just chase the evil spirit out and kill my cat."

Having said this, the male host suddenly clapped his hands.

"Snapped!--"

"All of a sudden! So fast, the flame burst out from his hand."

The residents here have never seen modern firearms. The fishman vanguards are equipped with relatively primitive iron guns, which are very different in shape from the secondary weapons in the hands of the quick swordsmen.

"The little darling is about to cry. My wife is quick-witted. She screams!"

"Rehabilitation! Rehabilitation! She called my name! Rehabilitation! A ghost is coming! A ghost is coming! Bring me the magic weapon!"

As the gunsmith listened, he took out his journal and made notes.

Seeing how serious the Arhat was, the farmer became more and more excited.

"I just thought, it's time to be a hero! I want to step up!"

"After getting the magic weapon, I chanted a spell to the evil spirit, reciting what Tianzun taught me: no beginning and no end, no beginning and no end. I chanted it three times. Press the shutter first."

"All of a sudden the evil spirit stopped moving, as if it was afraid."

When Mr. Jeffries saw the Polaroid camera for the first time, he thought it was a gun and mistook the flash for a gun flash, so he instinctively dodged for a moment.

The farmer continued, "The magic weapon creates photographic paper, and then presses the shutter once on the photographic paper - the evil spirit is sealed inside the magic weapon."

Jiang Xueming remained silent and thought for a long time before finally understanding the specific capabilities of [A Way Out].

The Quick Blade Team fell into a strange state where they could not be observed, and were squeezed into the cracks of time and space.

The photos in [A Way Out] can determine the past and foresee the future.

Teacher Su Ling once used a Polaroid camera to take photos of the Luo family mistress——

——The photo sent the Luo family mistress back to the last place where she was photographed, and also changed her age and physical condition. The two workers in the Luo family bathhouse can also find signs of this kind of time travel.

The results of the photosensitive plasma photograph foreshadowed the tragic future that Madam Roth would bring to Judah's table.

To use the saying that the big intestine contains the small intestine, one set after another, if you take another photo of the photo itself - the two photos will become a Möbius strip that locks each other's time and space states, determining the past of the past and the future of the future, in a continuous cycle, affecting both cause and effect.

Through this wonderful "invisibility" state, Judas can temporarily leave the material plane and hide in the cracks of time and space that no one can find.

Jiang Xueming believed that if the photos could be found, perhaps these lost soldiers could be found through the photos.

“Is the photo still here?”

"The photographic paper is still there! It's still there! We need to offer sacrifices to the Earth Goddess today!" The farmer hurriedly went to look for it under the shrine in the main hall. "Nu Lei is not coming anymore. I don't have time to take care of this. I will keep it until the end of the month - and hand it in with the other photographic papers."

Suddenly, a little girl ran into the bedroom. She was the "little darling" the farmer mentioned, his beloved daughter.

"Be good, call yourself Arhat!" the farmer turned around and instructed.

The little girl replied, "Arahant! Hello, Arahant!"

"Hmm," the gunsmith smiled. He didn't want to disturb the peaceful life of this family, so he took the photo and prepared to leave.

When the farmer handed Xueming a stack of photos, he was stunned.

According to the farmer, these thirty-six photos are what needs to be submitted this month.

There are indeed a lot of things hidden in the gap between time and space created by [A Way Out].

Xueming looked through the photos one by one——

There were six weasels that attacked the chicken coop in the middle of the night, all with shiny fur.

There was a disaster beast that looked like a North American gray wolf, with eyes that glowed golden at night. Xueming confirmed its species again. Judging from the high arched tumor on its back and the serrated fangs of a wolf, it was indeed a disaster beast.

  The two drowned people appeared to be downstream from the Baibei Harbor area.

The farmer explained quickly, "I saw them. They seem to be from Luojia Hutong, Laibei. They like to wear purple clothes. They came out to play in the water in summer. They must have been electrocuted by electric eels. I took pictures of them and sealed them in photo paper. I will save them until the end of the month and call Tianzun for help to rescue them."

Xueming continued reading.

A group of bees flew from the neighbor's beehive to the official road.

The farmer went on to explain, "This is Lao Liu's family's beehive. A few days ago, his stupid wife was cooking with a fire, and the firewood was too wet, so it was full of smoke, and all the beehives in his beehive were driven out. I quickly called him to take a picture! He was so stupid and scared that he couldn't move. So I helped him."

These thirty-six photos have almost become a panacea for "sealing" methods.

There are also livestock in the farmer's home, including two buffaloes sealed in the photo. Seeing that their horns were injured, Xueming guessed that they must have fought fiercely and bled. There was no time to find a veterinarian to treat them this month, so he left them in the photos and will deal with them at the end of the month.

Finally, there are four photos of sealing the evil spirits.

The first picture shows the moment when Mr. Jeffries fell off the tree trunk.

The second photo shows Tom Creed looking at the giant elk as the grenade on the elk explodes.

The third photo shows two people supporting each other, looking terrified at the camera. The scene should be at the back door of the farmer's house, next to the pigpen.

The fourth photo showed Tom Creed lying on a suburban road, covered in wounds and blood.

The future predicted by [A Way Out] is this picture. Four photos are superimposed on each other and repeated in a loop. Jeffreys and Tom just evaporated and disappeared.

After looking at these photos, the gunsmith developed a strong curiosity about this feathered man.

This religious leader popularized his spiritual skills into every household's daily life, covering all aspects.

For the common people of Ai Zongling, and for the fishmen who moved here from other places to seek survival——

——Feather is their hero.
