Carl felt frightened.
If Lian Gui can guess who will be sent, then he can definitely guess that humans will seize the last moment to destroy the ritual materials. Then doesn't Lu Ning already have a countermeasure?
"Fujii! Find a way to inform Professor Shen and the others..."
"Something's wrong, Carl."
Fujii Yukine's voice came from the glowing amulet.
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows but said nothing, waiting for the two to communicate.
"We have been guarding Levin here for a long time. It is almost night now, but there is nothing abnormal around. Even the hunters watching around have not found any trace of Seitaro Asayama."
"What? He has attacked four people - wait!" Karl's expression finally began to look a little surprised, and he turned to look at Lu Ning.
At this moment, fire appeared on the mountain, and thick smoke rose, which was extremely conspicuous in the sunset. It was the signal that Robert had agreed with them to send when the destruction was successful. If it could be destroyed at this time, it would at most be the location. It's just a little harder to find.
As if this was not enough, Lu Ning threw the Witch's Key directly in front of Karl, making a small hole in the fallen leaves.
"I can leave it to you."
Carl couldn't touch what he did just now, but now Lu Ning doesn't need this thing at all.
"You think I will perform the ritual at night, when the devil is strong, and prepare during the day...I will prepare some bait of sufficient weight." Lu Ning crossed her arms, "But I have no intention of completing this at night. Ritual. Oh, actually I’m not going to do the ritual at all.”
"Aren't you going to perform the ceremony?" Karl slowly repeated this sentence.
"When I realized that I had collected a lot of key ritual materials, which were the first clues we had, I clarified my mission, which was to draw everyone's attention to me and make me become The main force of the Demon Ritual in your eyes." Lu Ning smiled, "Fujii, do you understand?"
"Dual-core virtual reality...but all the materials are with you." Fujii's voice was also a little unbelievable, "When did you secretly deliver some of the materials?"
"It has never been delivered." Lu Ning spread her hands, "Unfortunately, when Seitaro Asayama assassinated the Turner clan leader in the tavern, there were only two living people present, Sera and me, and I was the one who was more conscious. Otherwise, You can hear it."
"Resonance?" Karl knew what this hearing meant.
"Yes, Qianshan has the guidance of the witch, and it was earlier than me... I didn't understand the specific meaning at the time, but I just cooperated with his actions. Later I realized that the six materials have referential meanings , body, spirit, memory, soul, life and death, plus a coordinate, the witch only needs these six elements to complete the return ceremony, and the materials are not critical."
The sky darkened in an extremely sudden way, as if the sun suddenly went out. The terror was like suddenly pulling out all the lights in a bright closed room. The most primitive fear of mankind - darkness spread at this moment. Come on.
Karl could no longer see Lu Ning and could only hear her continuing to speak.
"So Qianshan didn't go to Levin at all, because Levin didn't have the elements he needed. He used a very confusing method, which was to attack the leaders of the towns and make you think that he The purpose is to attack all five people... in fact, there are just four who have the elements he wants to obtain."
Carl squatted down and picked up the key that fell in front of him. Fujii seemed to be saying something quickly. They had already set off to find traces of Seitaro Asayama, but judging from the situation, it might be too late.
"And you have divided your forces as I expected. Originally, if you want to seize the time and take care of all aspects when you are short of manpower, you can only do this, but this also means that you no longer have the strength to stop us. You guys All the detections were dragged on the mountain. This was the last delay of the fighter plane - we won." Lu Ning's voice became farther and farther away, "When the witch returns successfully, this time and the overall connection will no longer be important. You can carry out the plan to destroy the timeline at any time, and treat it as a firework for our victory."
The sky began to curve, the space began to stretch, and a huge hole like a bottomless abyss, clearly invisible but allowing you to know its existence, appeared above Baihu Town. The light of the stars and the moon also disappeared at the same time, leaving behind In the world there is only the light of the world. People in panic began to shout and panic, which gradually turned into kneeling and praying. However, the hole became stronger and stronger in everyone's perception, and then, time dilation began.
Even if the witch only puts in one consciousness, it has the same two-dimensional time state as the witch's original attributes. In order to adapt to this world, the dimension that does not match this world begins to curl accordingly, and begins on the timeline of this world. Spread out - this is the most basic constant change, but it brings disastrous consequences.
Carl was already running towards the lake house with all his strength, but due to the effect of time dilation, his speed was slowed down extremely slowly. The distance covered was obviously the same, but he could feel that he was running very slowly, and it took a very long time to cover that distance.
In fact, he could gradually feel some visual distortions beginning to appear. The surrounding scenery was no longer an uninterrupted picture, but he could clearly begin to notice that things happening at the same time were fed back to his mind one after another.
"Light...speed of light..."
Karl's whole body was soaked in cold sweat. He understood what Lu Ning meant and why Lu Ning didn't do it herself. To escape from this world, he had to complete the detonation of the Witch's Skeleton himself. Even before that, he had to open the door and introduce part of the energy into the world behind the door to release a certain crisis.
At this moment, only three demons were unaffected.
"Can they do it?"
"If you can't do it, you won't die. Anyway, the distribution center is responsible for taking tourists back. Maybe Xia Xinhe can get them back." Lu Ning replied to Zhu You. She was now standing by the lake, with Zhu You beside her, holding her hand He was carrying a sack inside, and he didn't know what was bulging inside.
"I thought you'd give the town a little thought."
"I'm not confident enough to think that I can save the world." Lu Ning glanced at Zhu You, "The people behind this kind of scene are basically beings that cannot be competed by manpower. I have already left some room for this step. , at least if I have some countermeasures on the human side to make things less unacceptable."
"This place will definitely not get better." Zhu You looked around. If she was not a demon, she might be able to see the time dilation scene, but she really didn't want to see it.
"You don't accept it just because you can't stand the collapse of the daily world you live in. It's not a matter of having superpowers or something, but the basic laws of this world are beginning to be completely rewritten... Forget it, what's the use of saying this? "Lu Ning looked up and said, "It is this attribute of time that prevents us from being implicated, but we will be injured by the Witch's Skeleton. Carl is just a natural person. Even if he opens the box at close range, there will be no impact at all. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hole in the sky suddenly began to increase the speed of release. This was an acceleration of "speed" that only the devil could feel. It seems that Carl has opened another world to share the impact of the witch's return.
"It's thanks to Xia Xinhe that the future has become an 'up' time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give them even this rescue strategy."
"In fact, this will speed up the return of the witch." Zhu You couldn't help but point out Lu Ning, "You just want them to work hard for you in vain."
"The part that belongs to possibility does not need to actually fall into this world, so the process can be shortened accordingly. Don't forget that this is a consciousness thrown over by the witch. As for the reason you mentioned, I will not answer." Lu Ning hummed. He groaned and looked towards the lake. The witch's body hidden there was no longer under his control, which meant it was time to leave.
"Let's go, the witch doesn't know exactly what she means to us. We just need to stay away until we determine the 'end'."
After Lu Ning finished speaking, she transformed into a demon and went into the woods.
=================
Karl pushed the door open with difficulty, and the sluggishness that filled his surroundings was like the gas in a punctured balloon that began to flow quickly to the other side of the door. However, he just glanced over there and felt that his brain was about to collapse. exploded.
"Karl! Karl!"
The voice in the paper man became normal again. Karl wiped the sweat from his head and said to Fujii: "It seems it's not too late... What's the matter?"
"We are looking for Qianshan! How is the situation over there?"
"I opened the door of the lake house, just as Lu Ning said..."
Karl glanced near the door. As time collapsed to both sides at the edge of the door, the space there was disturbed and became brighter and brighter. This was the simplest effect of energy release.
"The opposite side of the door has become a world with infinite possibilities. Now that the witch's consciousness is descending into this world, there is still enough time to fill up the pulling force over there, but don't forget, this side is If the past over there remains in this state, sooner or later it will begin to change to the future state... I must seize the opportunity to detonate the witch's skeleton, so that this scene is over."
"Does that mean you can't leave?"
"Now, it's useless to track down the demon. I've already seen...the witch."
Looking towards the White Sand Lake from the lakeside hut, one can see the bright light rising from the center of the lake. A glowing human figure slowly walks out of the lake. When the consciousness and body are matched, that is when the witch's return is completed.
And Karl has no way to stop it now.
The light on the "Witch" gradually dimmed. She raised her arms and looked at her wet arms and clothes. Then both the water and the clothes began to evaporate and decay. At the same time, a brand new black dress quickly emerged from the decayed clothes. It was generated under the clothes, and after a few seconds, the "witch" became completely new.
"Time...time." Karl raised his lips. He was the only person lucky enough to witness this scene, but he also intuitively felt the power of the "witch".
For the witch, everything in this world is just a replacement of concepts. She can let time wear away an object at any time, and then replace it with a new one with the same concept. Bigness and smallness in space have no meaning to her. She can make a piece of clothing disappear and reappear, and she can also make the sun pass through the main sequence star and red giant stages in an instant. Karl's time jump is like a drop of water accidentally jumping out of the water in this kind of time power, but he can fully feel that it is a blessing from the same time ability.
"The witch has returned."
The paper man's light flashed for a final moment, exhausting its energy, and Karl also picked up one of the black boxes piled at the door and opened the lock.
Detonate——
Like a sharp sword piercing the night sky, countless cracks appeared in the dark sky in an instant. The light shined through those cracks into the world again. Although it was just the afterglow of the setting sun, it reappeared at this moment. It ignited people's hopes.
"You did a good job." Lu Ning, who climbed up the mountain, looked up at the sky that was gradually returning to light. The darkness was being swallowed up by the gradually increasing light, but this was not enough. The huge hole still existed in the sky. In the sky, this means that the connection between the witch and this world has not been severed.
However, Lu Ning and Zhu You can still maintain their demonic form, and it is not after seven o'clock in the evening, which also proves that the influence of the witch has not faded at all.
"Where is the witch's movement?"
"She was walking slowly towards Baihu Town, but the light was too strong and I couldn't see her specific expression clearly." Zhu You kept watching the situation by the lake.
"It's normal. The witch has just come to this world. She needs to learn and understand, but it won't take much time." Lu Ning lifted the sack on her shoulders. With her current strength, it was really effortless to carry this thing. It's a pity that as soon as this scene ends, this super power no longer exists.
At this moment, a person walked out from behind the stone in front.
He maintains the human form as a whole, except for his eyes, which have vertical pupils, and the fingers on both hands have become extremely thick, especially a small cylindrical container growing on the second knuckle of all fingers except the thumb.
Seitaro Asayama smiled and nodded to his two fellow demons.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's hard work for you who led the ceremony to be completed." Lu Ning was polite, "I think this is the first time we have met as a demon?"
"Well, the first time we met, the demon of shadow." Qianshan made a joke. In the demon state, he was much more relaxed and humorous than when he was disguised as a human. He reached out and shook hands with Lu Ning, and then nodded to Zhu You. .
"Zhu You did a good job in liaison work, and she deserves a lot of credit this time."
"Of course, I have always believed in her." Lu Ning also agreed, "Would you mind telling me about your abilities? I'm quite curious, but I never had the chance to ask."
"My ability is mist." Qian Shan raised his hands and gave Lu Ning a closer look at the cylindrical container on his knuckles. "There are eight of them in a day. As long as the cylinder is broken, it can produce about fifteen to twenty minutes. In the large-scale fog area, you can choose whether it is a hallucinogenic 'mist' or a 'dense fog' that blocks sound and light. If the cylinder is retained, it can be used to release fog even during the day. As my special demon Weapon, this thing can also be used remotely."
"nice one."
"Where, your ability is not bad, shadow related?"
"You can teleport in the shadows."
"sharp."
Zhu You couldn't stand the two people complimenting each other, so he quickly asked: "Can we be polite to each other when we go back? I don't want to stay in this place any longer."
As a result, Lu Ning and Qian Shan made puzzled expressions at the same time.
"It's not over yet, how can we go back?"
"It's not over?" Zhu You was stunned.
"You can only return to the distribution center after reaching the conclusion of the incident. This is a major premise. Both humans and demons must be satisfied before they can return." Asayama said, "We have just completed the mission."
