The sun is high

What was supposed to be an all-night meeting was interrupted.

Although there was no real impact inside the venue, this horrific riot caused by a small number of "stalkers" from the Dark Abyss Palace still succeeded in taking away the lives of several attendees. After some counting, people found that the dead Among the lists were the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Deland, a scholar from the plateau area, and several officials with different statuses and functions.

However, these identities are meaningless in front of the hunters of Dark Abyss, and everyone is eventually treated equally.

The process of identifying the dead and collecting the bodies is never pleasant, and those who are attacked and killed by hounds will show an extremely twisted and tragic death - before being torn apart by the hounds' fangs. After opening their bodies, their body fluids and vitality are often absorbed by the tentacles hidden in the gaps between the sharp teeth.

The result of this is that the bodies of these victims will eventually become shriveled and broken, looking like pieces of meat that have been dried and then trampled violently.

However, whether it is Merlin's peace or the Dawn Society's residence, these are just a microcosm of Van En's life on this night. The actions of the stalkers are cruel and unpredictable, and the killings they cause are even more brutal. In the world, Everywhere, anyone who has stared at the black sun for a long time during the day has become the prey marked by it at night.

There are too few people who can respond appropriately.

Even within some military camps, there were serious commotions caused by the hunters. Not only did the hounds easily kill their targets, they even caused exaggerated stampedes and casualties caused by misfires. It is even more difficult to count.

The same situation also occurred in the inner and outer cities of Merlin Lehe, but because of the meticulous and strict management methods of the Legal Committee, most of the people who were targeted by the Dark Abyss hounds were gathered in advance, and with the help of various Thanks to various magical protections and the timely support of a large number of people, many of these people managed to survive.

For most people, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

What's even more terrifying is that no one is sure this will happen for the last time.

When Xiuge finally returned to the embassy area in the early morning, he picked up a newspaper compiled internally by the Legal Committee. Various emergencies made him dumbfounded. During this period, he had been thinking seriously about what happened. How should we make more people aware of the dangers of Black Sun and Black Sun associations.

He had no idea that a universal threat targeting everyone would come so soon.

Wei Lin walked in from outside the house. She sat down in the living room and took a cup of soothing herbal tea from Xiuge. After taking two sips, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fa The committee should have to reduce the size of the meeting, and they are planning to place some new mysteries and magic puppets in the embassy area, as well as some monastery sword holders. During the meeting, almost everyone will Being watched.”

As a former member of the Legal Committee, Weilin became extremely busy at this time. Not only did she need to represent the Dawn Society to contact the Legal Committee on related magic matters, but she also became a member of the Legal Committee together with several other spell casters. The mage representative responsible for the embassy area.

She was holding the tea cup and was unwilling to let go. The exertion that lasted for the entire second half of the night made her look particularly tired and haggard: "But this time, no one expressed objections to these arrangements. Many people were frightened and now they wish they could live there directly." Go inside the Sword Bearer Hermitage..."

"Everyone is going to be monitored? Including us?"

"Theoretically, not including you...well, just you."

Wei Lin forced a smile: "But I think the people from the Law Committee and the Hermitage will come to us soon. Just wait, you won't be able to escape the next affairs."

"It doesn't matter."

Xiuge forcefully snatched the tea cup from Wei Lin's hand, poured another cup of herbal tea and stuffed it back. He smiled and shook his head: "At this point, if the Legal Committee does not intend to speed up the original They don’t intend to let us participate in those matters, so I really have to doubt their ability and attitude."

After saying that, Xiuge raised his hand and pointed to the second floor of the residence: "If you can, go and take a rest, at least wash up and refresh yourself... You now look almost like those clerks in publishing houses who work all night."

This description made Wei Lin slightly dissatisfied. She wrinkled her nose and was about to refute, but she caught a glimpse of two blood stains on her dress.

Of course, the hounds of the Dark Abyss will not bleed. These bloodstains belong to the injured and dead.

"All right……"

Wei Lin finally chose to compromise, and the moment she said these words, her entire state finally relaxed.

Although she had long been accustomed to "working overtime" and various tense work scenes, what happened the night before was different. When the surroundings were filled with those terrible black fogs, even she felt a little panic and helpless. Feeling of help.

She hated this feeling.

I hate this bad feeling of not being able to use all the knowledge and magic I have when I encounter trouble.

However, the face in front of Wei Lin looked extremely gentle, just like before.

"Don't panic, where are you from now..."

Xiuge softly comforted him, and then he turned to look at the crystal wall clock on the wall: "Breakfast should be delivered in a while. After you wash up, eat something and then go to rest. It will definitely not work to stay up like this..."

"In addition, although what I said may not be correct, I think there is another angle to choose when looking at what happened last night."

Wei Lin was a little confused: "Another angle? What do you mean?"

"Advice repeated a thousand times may not be useful, but gangsters with knives who come to the door can always make people alert. Although this may cost life and blood, it is better than a group of people who are dragging their feet and know nothing. Not much worse."

As Xiuge spoke, he waved his hand to Wei Lin: "Okay, go and have a rest... maybe you will be woken up by me soon, so don't be upset about getting up then."

Wei Lin rolled her eyes, but did not argue with Xiuge, and walked quickly towards her room.

The living room returns to tranquility.

Xiuge did not return to his room. He just sat on the soft chair with his eyes slightly closed. His attention quickly sank into the vast spiritual ocean under the metal disc. This empty space was full of spiritual energy. In the ocean of power, he saw several black clouds neatly "stacked" together.

These black clouds were exactly the power and information compiled by the Messenger in the Mirror after he had dealt with the other palace attendants. Seeing that Xiuge seemed to be interested in these things, the Messenger in the Mirror immediately came to Xiuge's side. Beside it, it bowed slightly, waiting quietly for Shuge's instructions like a butler.

This waiter-like posture in the restaurant made Xiuge feel inexplicably funny and funny, so he said to the messenger in the mirror: "Forget it, you'd better stop acting like this... It's fine to be like before, as long as Being able to get things done is up to you."

As a result, the messenger in the mirror, who received Shuge's permission, almost immediately returned to his original posture.

An exaggerated smile appeared on its face, and its stance became more casual. It raised its hand and pointed towards the black clouds, and a large piece of organized information immediately appeared in Xiuge's mind. Lay out neatly.

Xiuge has gone through a similar process countless times in the past, but the memories and knowledge he absorbed before were all "second-hand goods" that were roughly digested by the descendants of An Yuan, and all of this information came from Victims of the descendants of Yu Anyuan.

Although the descendants of the Dark Abyss can be regarded as defective products derived from the power of the Dark Abyss Palace, they also know nothing about the place where they were created.

This time it was different.

These palace attendants who arrived with the hounds and accompanied them like dog trainers were all creations of the Dark Abyss. These fragmentary memories and information extracted from them successfully revealed the secrets of Shuge. A corner of the veil of the dark abyss palace was opened.

The so-called palace attendants are actually the remnants of the dark abyss palace power.

If the Dark Abyss Palace is compared to a huge tree that grows wantonly, then the palace attendants are the tiny branches and leaves extending from this tree.

However, even the leaves on a tree vary in size. These waiters who form the vanguard of the hunters together with the hounds are basically the humblest "servants" in the Dark Abyss Palace. They are the mist floating in the palace. The foundation is the residue of escaped power, and it is also the most convenient and effective tool and beacon used by the Dark Abyss Palace to pursue the offender.

Yes, for the complex and weird set of rules within the Dark Abyss Palace, these humanoid servants made of shadows are just consumables that can be called upon at will.

Xiuge rummaged hard through these fragmented memories. It didn't take long for him to find some fragments that were almost unrecognizable - those fragments of images and sounds, and these fragments seemed to confirm that these slaves their true identities.

At some point in the distant past, these miserable souls seemed to have lived in Van En. They might have been members of a certain tribe, or they might have been residents of a huge country, but in the end, during the great hunts and the During the sacrifice, these souls were captured by the waves of the Dark Abyss, and thus became instruments of the court.

After being deprived of their original identities and having their original souls and consciousness crushed, they can only serve the palace in this new form until one day they completely die or are called upon by certain entities within the palace. , and were ruthlessly thrown into other fields.

Either it becomes a material, or it becomes the food of hounds or other creatures of the Dark Abyss, or it melts silently into the waves in the Dark Abyss, integrating with this weird and cold world.

After learning about this situation, Xiuge immediately glanced at his mirror messenger and palace hound: "So, you are also produced in this way? Do you remember the more detailed process?"

Facing the question raised by their master, the two Dark Abyss creations looked at each other. They communicated silently, and then the messenger in the mirror gave Xiuge's answer - they had no relevant memories of their birth and appearance. , as if they have no "birth" process at all.

In their extremely limited cognition and memory, it seems that they have been fulfilling their due responsibilities from the beginning. The Messenger in the Mirror only remembers that he once walked slowly in the chaotic and topsy-turvy passages of the Dark Abyss Palace that had no rules at all. , the palace hound remembered that he had been running in the dark abyss with countless others of his kind.

Until later, a powerful figure that also exuded a strong aura of the dark abyss appeared in front of them...

Although Shuge was equally curious about the specific methods and processes by which Theseus "abducted" these creatures, now it was obviously more important to figure out the nature and goals of these hunters, so he sank in again. Looking into those memories, trying to find more clues.

Soon, his efforts paid off.

After some hard work, Xiuge roughly restored the behavior patterns of these hunters.

When the huge dark abyss begins to revive, its power will spread equally towards all the worlds connected to it. This process is like dark ink slowly spreading towards clear waters, and all the people soaked in "black ink" will The waters will become the temporary territory of the Dark Abyss Palace.

Among these spreading forces, dangerous creations can move freely, and those stalkers controlled by the Dark Abyss Palace can go one step further, although their "big hunt" has not yet been officially launched. In the beginning, these hungry pioneers have been able to establish "connections" with other worlds through various methods.

Perception, visual inspection, indirect observation, when the "Big Hunt" and the "Dark Abyss Wave" are at their most ferocious, even imagining and talking may bring bad results...

In short, any behavior related to the dark abyss can cause large or small ripples in the dark "ink" full of spiritual power. After these ripples appear, those who are already hiding in this "water" The vicious stalkers will naturally sense it and may take action at any time.

At the end of those broken and fragmented memories, Xiuge saw large tracts of icy chaos and boundless voids.

This is the essence of the Dark Abyss and its turbulent waves.

It, like all the creations hiding in it, treats all worlds related to itself coldly and ruthlessly. They regard these worlds as their own source of power. While hunting, they will equally spread despair and destruction.
