Quenched long order

Chapter 171

The executioner's fingers trembled slightly, and as time went by, he became more and more excited.

This hibernation, like always, reminded him of the past.

When the struggling life gradually stopped in his hands, when the uncontrollable things slept in the palms, and when the beating pulse gradually weakened, he realized that he had discovered the beauty that belongs to life alone - death.

If death were compared to a wine barrel, the wine brewing in the barrel would be called despair.

The despair of others makes the executioner feel very comfortable, especially the taste after abstinence, which gives him a sense of release.

Therefore, he likes to appear at the moment when his prey thinks he is about to escape, extinguishing the fire of hope, leaving only a faint smoke. This faint smoke is paired with a frightened look, a pale face, and A little suffocation and fall are enough to make a glass of wine with enough aftertaste.

But this time it failed.

But luck favored him and gave him another chance.

He reflected on his methods and realized his mistakes. This was the punishment for impulsiveness. This time, he would not show up rashly again and expose himself to the enemy.

From beginning to end, he didn't have to show up.

So this time, there will be no failure.

The only drawback is that the desire accumulates for a while.

Just for a while.

……

Going from the underground space to the deeper part of the passage is like going from day to dusk. The bloody passage is like a big mouth, swallowing up the three people, so there is still a little light left.

The three of them went deeper and deeper, and the temperature became lower and lower.

Even the color of the cave wall gradually became pale. The paleness in the blood gave people an unstoppable sense of decadence, like the end of life.

"I don't know why, but I feel like we are getting closer to Rachel's location." Martha put her right fist on her chest, and this feeling emerged in her heart, like a mysterious power covering herself.

She looked ahead and blinked.

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, she discovered that the two people in front of her had disappeared.

The situation is the same as before.

She understood that the enemy was attacking again.

A second ago, the ground under your feet was still solid, but now it has become extremely soft, like light red clouds.

Since she had already experienced it once, she quickly stabilized her mind and moved towards the cave wall. As long as she could catch something to cling to, she could stop herself from falling and sinking below the ground. At the same time, she had to be careful of surprise attacks from behind.

She took the knife into her hand and continued to grab the cave wall with her right hand.

During this period, her nerves were tense, and she was on guard against possible sneak attacks at any time.

Sauer's words rang in her mind. Regarding the ability to turn back time and the unconsidered consequences, they actually only meant one thing: try not to die.

However, what surprised her was that the sneak attack from behind did not come, and she successfully grabbed a protruding stone on the cave wall.

But before the excitement of overcoming the crisis rose, she was poured cold water on her, and she found that her right hand was reaching into the cave wall.

The places that have changed are not only the feet, but also the untouched cave walls on both sides.

Martha tried to struggle, but the more she struggled, the faster she sank.

At this moment, her body seemed to remember the suffocation she felt when she died last time, as if a hand grabbed her heart, causing it to skip a few beats.

Just as she was getting desperate, she was surprised to find that she had stopped sinking, but her body could not escape from the softened cave walls and ground. It was as if she was trapped on the ground, and she could only wait for the situation to develop.

Now, the only thing she could move was her left hand holding the knife, but there was no one around her who needed her to defend herself.

The blood-streaked passage became extremely quiet. Even if a needle fell somewhere, it could be heard clearly. It could even be distinguished after a few bounces after landing.

why?
Martha was very confused. This time was completely different from the last time. Last time, when she fell to a certain level, the enemy couldn't wait to appear and pulled her below the ground, but this time, it just trapped her.

At this time, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. She had been washed, and all the kitchen utensils and seasonings were ready. She was just waiting for the right time to be served to the dining table.

wrong!

Martha's eyes suddenly widened.

The enemy did this not out of kindness, but...

She thought about the topic she had previously discussed, and an idea came to mind.

The enemy didn't kill her because they wanted to keep her, so that time would not go back to before her death. Even...if they kept her, if there was a mistake in the process, they could even kill her and reverse the failure.

At this moment, she actually became the enemy's tool.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She looked at the knife in her left hand and recalled the feeling of being stabbed to death when she first came to the underground space. The cold light on the tip of the knife suddenly made her feel terrified.

Just as she was hesitating, suddenly, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind, strangled her neck, and pulled her down to the ground.

During the struggle, Martha stabbed the knife in her left hand to the back, but except for the first two knives that were powerful, the subsequent ones seemed to be pointing the knife behind her. In the dead silence of the ground, death was like sand, covering her whole body.

Blue light flashes.

Martha found herself leaving the underground. However, what confused her was that there were still no figures of Sauer and Jason around.

Time went back to the past, but not back to before the entire sneak attack began.

Her feet were still sinking, and it wouldn't be long before everything would happen again.

"There's something wrong..."

She sensed something wasn't normal.

If the opponent knows that killing her will make time go back to the past, then the correct approach should be to trap her. She is not a quencher and cannot be fought with just the items in the small bag. Knock her out or trap her. question.

"...Could it be the second possibility?"

She thought of her previous speculation.

The opponent regarded her as an hourglass that could reset time. As long as the sneak attack on Sauer and Jason did not take effect, or there was an accident midway, he would kill her to give himself one more chance.

"It can't go on like this."

Martha realized the problem.

She knew that time had gone back to the past, but Sauer and Jason didn't know that. Although the enemy didn't know the process, they were able to detect it because of the power of the King of the Black Domain.

If you continue, the enemy will succeed sooner or later, and it won't be long.

She must try to break.

The knife was held in her hand.

A few days ago, she never thought that her life would become a tool. What she didn't expect was that now, she would actually want to kill herself.

She knew that if she continued to hesitate, the situation would get worse and worse, so she closed her eyes, held the knife tightly in both hands, stabbed her neck with all her strength.

It's a gamble.

If solving her own problem won't cause time to go back to the past, then she will disappear.Or, if you just go back to the moment when you killed yourself, it will still be a dead end.

As the sharp blade cut through the skin and penetrated into the blood vessels, the heartbreaking pain spread from the neck and spread throughout the limbs and bones. Then, the eyes were filled with darkness and the body became colder and colder.

The light returned.

Martha looked at the backs of the two people in front of her, and she knew she had succeeded.

So she quickly ran up and whispered to the two of them what had just happened. As soon as she finished speaking, before Sauer and Jason could answer, she found that the two of them had disappeared again.

In just a few seconds, everything seemed to be back to the dangerous situation just now.

Martha took out the knife again, but the pain of death made her hands tremble. Death was like fertilizer, allowing the lush weeds called fear to continue to grow.

She was afraid.

hold on.

She thought to herself, looking around, she found that this secluded place looked like a burial place.

After a short rest, her courage returned to her, and she picked up the knife again. However, this time when she was about to stab, the knife in her hand was knocked to the ground.

Martha opened her eyes and looked at the two people in front of her.

The person who knocked the knife down was Jason.

"What are you doing?" Jason said in a serious tone.

"Are you planning to kill yourself and let time go back in time?" Sauer said, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, not much, but obviously injured.

"Succeeded...succeeded?" Martha let out a long breath and sat directly on the ground. She didn't want to do it again. If there was a time when she really felt death, it was yesterday, and she realized death. It's a luxury, right now.

Even though it is safe now, the pain just now seems to still remain in the body, and the body remembers the feeling of death.

She took a deep breath, buried her head in her knees, and let her body tremble with instinctive fear.

Jason stepped forward, put his hand lightly on Martha's shoulder, and said, "You can cry if you want. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone is afraid. To be honest with you, I was afraid too. I remember I almost died the first time." When I was there, I almost wet my pants in fear.”

"Martha, you did a great job." Shaoer leaned against the cave wall and gently wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his right hand to release the delayed pain. "To be honest, even if you can go back in time here, But the courage to use one's own life as a bet is already beyond most people."

The tinnitus gradually started to sound.

"By the way, Shaoer, was it you who solved it?" Jason suddenly thought of something.

When Martha heard this question, she also raised her head. Judging from the situation of the three of them, it seemed that only Sauer met the question.

"I solved it this time..." Sauer didn't cover up.

When Martha told him the dilemma the three encountered, the situation changed instantly.

He knew that the situation was critical and could not continue to delay, so he stuffed his backpack below the ground with both hands and used the air in the backpack to launch a sonic boom.

The power of the sonic boom forces the opponent to show up.

The other party did appear and quickly dragged him underground. He also took the opportunity to close the distance between the two. Afterwards, he used the air in his mouth to fire a weakened version of the air cannon without any charge.

This was a very risky move as he would also be harmed by the air cannon, but there was no time for him to think about it.

The reason why he came up with this method is that his vocal cords were damaged due to Berry's crazy disaster, and he has been using simulated voices to maintain a normal voice. Therefore, practice makes perfect at this point.

Hide the air in your mouth, then open your mouth to surprise and injure the enemy.

"How did you solve it?" Martha asked subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet squirmed, and a man wearing the uniform of the Black Domain Religion appeared on the ground. However, the uniform on this man looked more exquisite, and he obviously had a certain status within the Black Domain Religion.

"Did he faint?" Jason looked at the executioner who was spit out.

Sauer did not take a closer look and took out his short knife, preparing to kill the enemy.

With the force of the air cannon he fired underground, it would be normal for him to just faint.

"Well..." Martha started to stop her. She swallowed and looked at the executioner on the ground. "Should we ask him about his situation? I mean, what exactly happened?"

She was naturally referring to the purpose of the Black Domain Order.

"It seems that you can indeed ask." Jason said.

"Are you sure?" Sauer put down the dagger temporarily. Even if he asked, he wanted to do something in advance.

"None of the people I caught before asked anything, otherwise they wouldn't be so passive." Jason thought of the people he caught before, and even his friends. "This person, I feel like his identity is not good enough." It’s simple, if we can ask anything, it might be helpful to us in the future. Of course, we have to keep an eye on him, otherwise we will cause trouble for ourselves.”

"What happened to them?" Martha was a little curious.

"I'm not very sure. I heard that I became a fool and didn't know anything about it." Jason shook his head repeatedly.

Sauer squatted down, cut off the executioner's clothes, and used them as ropes to tie the executioner's hands behind his back. However, during the binding process, he felt that the executioner's hands suddenly became very hot, even to the point of abnormality.

hiss.

A cluster of blue flames appeared on the executioner's body.

After the flames appeared, they grew stronger and stronger, and soon completely enveloped the executioner.

However, the strange thing is that the executioner did not react at all and was still lying on the ground peacefully. However, the three people beside him felt the heat of the blue flames.

Sauer took two steps back and distanced himself. He felt the power of the King of the Black Domain. This blue flame was not normal. For his own safety, it was best not to touch it.

Immediately afterwards, under the burning of blue flames, the executioner's body slowly deformed, as if it was twisted by the burning.

The blue flame got higher and higher, until it completely rushed to the cave wall, and then gradually extinguished. However, after it was extinguished, the executioner's body turned completely into white ash, leaving no more traces. However, the uniform of the Black Domain Religion But it was safe and sound, without any signs of burning.

"Dead?" Martha didn't know.

"Probably dead..." Jason didn't know what to say.

"It's possible, but not necessarily." Sauer frowned slightly. He stepped forward to check the white ash and found no obvious abnormalities. "Anyway, we just keep moving forward. I believe we will soon reach the place where Rachel asked us to go."

Then, he stood up and looked ahead, "As expected, Kraut will also be there. He knows more things than us. If we join him, I believe many questions can be answered."

"Do you think it might be because of the relic?" Martha looked at the white ash on the ground and stood up. "You don't want us to get the relic, so we used this method."

"Well..." Jason glanced at Martha, "Your question... I don't know how to answer it."

At this moment, a blue figure appeared next to the three people.

"Rachel?" Martha shouted quickly.

The blue figure took a few steps to the side, then turned around and looked at the three of them. Her movements were very smooth.

"I should congratulate you."

This time, the blue figure's voice was very smooth, not at all intermittent like before.

"She's not Rachel." Sauer looked at the blue figure.

"We are about to see a great scene." The blue figure stretched out his right hand and faced the three of them, "Join us and escape from the sinking of the mortal world together."
