Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 555 The Ancient Era
Kong Zhe remembered that Lan told him that the Tarot cards were made by a founder of the Blood Race in ancient times. The rules of time have existed since the beginning of the world, so even in the distant ancient times, there should be time cages .Before the creator of the tarot card made the time card, he would definitely be imprisoned in the time cage. Now, since the time card still exists, it means that the creator has finally successfully escaped from the time cage.

How did he escape?

Kong Zhe and Suzanne began to think about this question at the same time.

"Who?"

However, at a certain moment, both of them opened their eyes at the same time and looked at a card on the ground.The two of them are enchanters with strong spiritual power, and this is a world built purely by spiritual power, so their perception here is terrifying.Just now, they felt a peeping gaze from there at the same time.

That card is one of the time cards, but at this time, a round and convex black shadow is emerging from the surface of this card, and this black shadow has a nose and eyes, looking out secretly.Hearing the loud shouts of the two, the black shadow jumped out of the card with a whoosh, and flew into the sky at high speed.

The moment the black shadow emerged, Kong Zhe had already made a direct move.However, the black shadow was extremely fast, and Kong Zhe missed it.

After the black shadow escaped, it flew straight into the air, trying to escape directly, but it just flew to the edge of the light film. After seeing the light spots outside the light film, it seemed to see a natural enemy, scared Trembling, he hurriedly stopped his figure.

However, Kong Zhe was already chasing after him like a shadow, the black shadow did not dare to stop in the air, so he had to turn around twice in a row, escaped Kong Zhe, rushed into the pile of debris on the ground, and disappeared.

"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, Susanna snorted softly.Suddenly all the boxes on the ground exploded in an instant.Now that black shadow no longer had anything to hide, it was directly exposed.

Although everything in the hut has been restored here, it is actually an illusion imitated by spiritual power.Susanna can naturally control it at will.

The black shadow was obviously very surprised, it didn't understand why these hidden objects suddenly disappeared.It's just that it has no time to think. Before it could react, Kong Zhe had already fallen from the sky, grabbed its neck, and pressed it to the ground.

The two of them finally had a chance to see the shadow clearly.

Kong Zhe was surprised to find that the shape of this black shadow was actually a human-shaped skeleton, but the size had shrunk a lot, and Kong Zhe could completely restrain it with one hand.

"It's actually an undead!"

"Undead... what is it? A soul?"

Kong Zhe asked.

"It's not a soul. Although many people confuse them, they are actually not the same thing. Undead... To put it bluntly, it is the product of the soul after death, but the soul will disappear directly after death, so it is impossible for the theory of undead Appeared, but in the experiments of some scholars, undead did appear. Of course, it is only possible to appear under certain extreme conditions. And it will disappear soon after appearing... Not to mention anything else, just these world corrections outside It is impossible to allow this kind of thing to exist."

Susanna explained a sentence, and then she also wondered: "Why is there an undead hidden in the card?"

"Forgiveness, forgiveness...don't kill me...ah, even though I'm dead..."

A voice came from the shadow's mouth.

Both Kong Zhe and Susanna were taken aback, because the black shadow spoke the common language of the mainland.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding in the card?"

Kong Zhe asked with a frown.He also knows some common languages ​​in the mainland. Although he is not proficient, he can still do basic communication.

"That... this gentleman, can you please let me go first? I won't run away anymore."

Soi Ying cautiously asked.

Kong Zhe glared at it, but let it go slowly.Anyway, this place is so big, if he wants to grab it, he can grab it again at any time.

And after the black shadow was released, he did not run away, but sat down cross-legged on the ground, coughed twice, and stretched out his hands to straighten the bow tie on his chest.

Although it's a bit funny for a skeleton to do these actions, but Kong Zhe and the two are concerned about other things now, and they didn't say much.

After finishing all this, Hei Ying turned to Kong Zhe, and bowed slightly to him.

"So, sir, it seems that you are the second-generation owner of these cards?"

Kong Zhe nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"Okay, please forgive my offense just now. I just had to be careful to protect myself. In fact, we are not enemies."

"Oh? Then who are you?"

"My identity...hehe, this is a long story."

Heiying smiled, and coughed twice, as if I was going to make a long speech next.

"My name is Lucas, Rodney, and I was the head of the Duchy of Lucas in ancient times. Speaking of my duchy, oh hehe, it's such a beautiful place, oh, I have five brothers and three sisters, the eldest sister's name is..."

"Tell me the key points!"

The corner of Kong Zhe's eyes twitched, and he interrupted him unceremoniously.It seems that this undead is still a chatterbox, but they are pressed for time now, so there is no time to listen to him talking here.

"Yes, I'm sorry... In fact, my principality was destroyed by a bigger country. I was powerless to take revenge, so I had to ask for help from the great founder of the blood clan at that time. He promised to help me take revenge, but the price was to sign a contract with him, and become an immortal forever. His servant. I agreed, the master avenged me, and I followed him for thousands of years, but then he began to make the Tarot of God, and the time cards in it needed a living body to sacrifice due to their particularity. He proposed that I take on the role of the life sacrifice. Therefore, I will exist as a part of it in the time card."

Heiying couldn't help but sighed as he spoke: "Originally, the master promised me that after the life sacrifice was performed, he would give me back my freedom, and my soul could ascend to heaven and enter the cycle of reincarnation, but I don't know what happened. Mistake, the master never contacted me again. As a spirit body, I couldn't renege on the contract, so I could only be permanently trapped in the time card. Until this time, somehow, when I found out, I was able to come out. "

"Oh? Come out by yourself?"

Kong Zhe couldn't help frowning.

If this is the case, then it is very likely that Xue Feifei was released by accident because she was trapped in the time barrier, but Kong Zhe still can't figure out the specific reason.

After Heiying finished speaking, he glanced at Kong Zhe and saluted him again: "Since you are the second-generation master of the Tarot cards, please replace the master to confirm that I have fulfilled the agreement and give me back my freedom so that I can return to reincarnation. .please!"

Kong Zhe didn't answer him immediately.Instead, after staring at it for a while, he suddenly said, "Do me a favor, and I'll give you back your freedom."

"What are you busy with?"

Soi Ying was overjoyed and asked hastily.

"Answer me a few questions first, don't lie."

Kong Zhe thought for a while and said, "You said you followed your master for a while, right? Then let me ask you, did he ever fall into a time cage when he was studying the time card?"

"Time cage... What a nostalgic word..."

Heiying couldn't help sighing when he heard the name, and then nodded.

"Yes, as you expected, my master was indeed imprisoned in the time cage for a period of time. And he was trapped when the life sacrifice was about to be completed, so I was also fortunate to see this rare phenomenon."

"Oh?"

Both Kong Zhe and Suzanne's eyes lit up. The black shadow said "imprisoned for a while", that is to say, he must have escaped afterwards.

Kong Zhe hurriedly asked: "Then, how did he come out after that?"

"Oh hehe, the time cage sounds scary. At first, the master was also very confused for a while, but the master was amazing. As his understanding of the rules of time deepened, he finally saw the essence of the time cage one day. To put it bluntly It's just an invisible cage, but the scope of this cage is very large..."

Black Shadow recalled the past and explained: "As long as it is a prison, there must be a prison door and a key. Then the method of escape is simple. Find the prison door and use the key to open it at the time reset node." It's easy to get out of the prison door."

"Oh?"

Both Kong Zhe and Susanna frowned: "Then where is the prison door? What is the key?"

"About the specific location of the prison door..."

The black shadow shook his head: "I'm not too sure about this, because everyone's time cage is trapped in a different position and period. The place where the owner is trapped is the inside of the time card. It is a completely barren land. The world is so desolate that there is nothing but sand and stones. And because the master is proficient in the law of time, he can naturally measure the position of the prison door... Oh, yes, I remember hearing the master say that the time cage The prison door is where the influence of the time rule is the weakest."

"The weakest position?"

Kong Zhe couldn't help touching his chin, and looked up at the room he was in now.He doesn't know how to measure the time rules, but if it is the weakest position, is it possible that it is this room?Because this is where Xue Feifei's turnaround begins.

However, when Kong Zhe asked this question, Black Shadow shook his head: "Although I don't know what your companion's time cage looks like, the prison door is not at the birth point. The prison door calculated by the master at that time It’s just a random location in my opinion, there’s nothing special about it. But it’s not too far from the birth point.”

"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded, and then asked: "Then, what is the key? Where can I find it?"

"The so-called key? In fact, it is the time rule itself. The master can use the time rule in his hands to reverse the arrangement of the prison doors, and the prison door will naturally be opened."
