Lu Ning saw Yan Rong's expression turn serious for a moment. She didn't even say a word to Lu Ning, she just raised her hand and pulled out the spear from her back.
"Yan Rong?"
Lu Ning stood up, but did not touch Yan Rong. He just called out softly, but as expected, there was no response.
This is a ruins. If something comes to Yan Rong, it may be like what happened just now. Only the person who was attacked by the treasure can see it.
There was nothing unusual around her. Lu Ning confirmed again. Her current calmness contained almost no emotion. Even her worries about Yan Rong were suppressed by the "sudden yesterday" in her body. This was actually a good thing—— As of now.
She moved a few steps to the side, slightly away from Yan Rong's range, then pulled out the elemental pistol and stood still. Yan Rong quickly made a move. She raised her spear and thrust it out like a dragon. She couldn't see who or what she was fighting. In Lu Ning's eyes, it seemed like a one-man show. , only Yan Rong is performing.
But soon, blood flowers bloomed.
Yan Rong was injured. It was not a serious injury, but there were some small wounds on his arms and other places like being scratched by a weapon. This was extremely common in battle.
But where is the goal?
Lu Ning was still standing calmly. She could imagine that it was easy to judge all the characteristics of Yan Rong based on Yan Rong's movements. He also used long-handled weapons, but he also had long-range attacks. He was slightly taller than Yan Rong and moved very fast, but not to the point where he could not be caught visually.
These are simple, but... it's not just that.
Lu Ning carefully looked at the direction of Yan Rong's attack, as well as the pattern and order of appearance of the wounds on her body, and continued to conduct a calm and high-speed analysis.
Yan Rong began to choose where to attack the limbs. Since he couldn't see the opponent, he didn't know the specific shape. Yan Rong will not switch from fatal killing parts to attacking non-lethal parts, which means that she sees the weakness in the limbs. The wounds are cutting wounds, roughly divided into two types, thin and sharp cuts like flying knives and larger open wounds. The order of occurrence is roughly from the arms, chest to legs. The opponent does not pay attention to the offensive on the lower body. Instead, take a direct frontal attack method.
Is it an illusion? Not necessarily. Even under the influence of illusion, Yan Rong would not call out to himself, so it should be a kind of spell that confuses the mind and has some kind of coercive effect? The change in Yan Rong's expression showed that she had indeed seen something that could be judged to be highly threatening...
Lu Ning slowly raised the gun in his hand.
"The first thing is testing."
The elemental bullet particles whizzed through the air. Lu Ning didn't aim at anyone, he just shot into the air. As a result, nothing hit, and Yan Rong turned a blind eye.
"What a cunning opponent."
Only those who are selected as opponents can interfere, just like Yan Rong today. Lu Ning vaguely figured out some rules about the special effects of treasures, but this was not the point. The point was how to provide assistance to Yan Rong without being able to interfere.
A small pool of blood has appeared on the ground. Yan Rong's movements have slowed down, and the blood loss has begun to affect her speed. Lu Ning thought for a moment and moved her robe a little - at that moment, countless overlapping images appeared in the world, like countless freeze frames on old movie reels. There were complicated things behind Yan Rong. The gray-white "past" image appeared, and Lu Ning began to turn back along this "film". This is the ability of "Sudden Yesterday". As an owner, Lu Ning can certainly control this power.
Returning to the "frame" when Yan Rong was still sitting on the chair was the moment before her expression changed. Lu Ning raised her hand and touched it lightly, and the black and white world was given color, but it was still in this frozen state.
Of course she can't change all of this. She remembers that she seemed to have experienced a similar situation in the past. She had more extreme abilities and could even rewrite the past, but that was not the effect of "Sudden Yesterday". Lu Ning's regret disappeared as soon as it arose. She was not distracted at all. After giving the world color, she walked towards the opposite direction of Yan Rong.
The power of each treasure is very powerful, not necessarily in terms of combat, but definitely special enough. "Suddenly Yesterday" is not a treasure that goes back in time. Lu Ning walked to the end of a path between two model buildings, and the world behind it was not dyed with color, but showed inconspicuous black and white gray blocks. shape. Obviously, this is because Lu Ning's own memory of this area is only vague to this extent and cannot fill in enough details.
But this will do.
Lu Ning turned her head and glanced at a stone tablet standing next to her. The inscription on it was an introduction. This is a religion that has almost disappeared. The devout believers defended the church to resist foreign enemies, and eventually all of them died in the battle. The remaining records were collected by the king, and a "sacrifice for the pious" was set up to show respect for these people. At the less obvious edge of the color, some blood stains can be seen seeping out from the stone tablet.
Lu Ning pulled the robe again, and the world suddenly became truly clear, and the color blocks were filled with realistic material again. She looked at the stone tablet, and there was no blood on it. The situation was self-evident.
"Well!"
Yan Rong let out a cry of pain. Lu Ning turned around and found that something had pierced her abdomen. Yan Rong had already used both guns, but it was obviously not enough.
"Tsk, even the worry has been suppressed. There are pros and cons." Lu Ning raised her hand, and the gray shadow-like liquid hovered in her palm. She put her hands together, gathered the mass in her palm, and then brushed A picture opened.
"This record is right in front of my eyes, like a film that has been recorded. Even if I am the director, I cannot rewrite what has been filmed." Lu Ning stretched out her fingers, and something like what she said came to mind. He said, "What happened in the past cannot be changed, but - if you edit it and adjust some things slightly, you can do it."
As her fingers began to "cut" pieces of the past one by one, the order of things began to change.
The current state of Yan Rong's serious injury cannot be avoided, but thanks to the caution of this treasure, Lu Ning cannot specifically judge the other party's state. In other words, this part of the "past" is outside of observation, and no matter how it is set, it depends on her mood.
The blood that appeared on the stone tablet was pushed to the back, and what happened first turned into a fierce battle. Lu Ning adjusted the order slightly. Due to the black body's constitution, it is normal for some less serious wounds to "heal" She extended the time of the battle and filled in the blanks about the changes in the stone tablet. In the end, Yan Rong's process of standing up from the seat with a solemn expression was directly reversed by her, and then he was connected to his current state.
"It's really...a headache." Lu Ning pressed her temples. Normally, such a severe headache would have been enough to make her give up such behavior. However, now even such emotions would not be triggered. Lu Ning just stretched out her hand and stroked it. , restoring the past that had been rearranged, and there happened to be an ending there, and Yan Rong was knocked back to his seat - everything was just as planned.
"Ha...ha..."
Yan Rong gasped violently while covering the wound on her abdomen. She coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, but her face no longer felt solemn, but a smile of victory. Lu Ning glanced at the stone tablet next to her. Blood was slowly flowing out of it, forming winding writing on the stone tablet.
[Death of the Berserker - This admirable courage to fight to the death is still roaring for protection and victory to this day, and even death cannot stop it. 】
The blood began to gather at the bottom of the stone tablet, and slowly condensed into a crimson brooch covered with spikes. Lu Ning endured the headache and picked up the brooch, only to find that the line of words just now had been engraved on the inside of the brooch.
"It's really a great harvest..." She walked out of this passage. Yan Rong looked up at Lu Ning and showed a slightly miserable smile.
"What...what exactly did you encounter?"
"A fused man? I don't know what it is, but I know that I have lost my mind and want to fight with it. It turns out that guy has more than ten arms, and two fists are hard to beat with four... It's almost ten I was almost beaten to death by it." Yan Rong was still in the mood to joke, and it seemed to be okay.
"Although Hei Ke's constitution is immortal, the recovery will be quite slow if the Butcher's immortality is not absorbed." Lu Ning glanced at Yan Rong's wound. Although there were signs of slow healing, it was not as fast as the regeneration of her previous severed limbs. It's really a big difference.
"And it still hurts." Yan Rong said with a grimace.
"Here, take your trophy." Lu Ning concealed the details of his help and threw the brooch to Yan Rong. "Study how to use it. Since you won, you should be able to use some of the power of this treasure."
"What the hell is this?" Yan Rong stared at it for a long time, and finally pulled out a slender red needle from the inside.
"I don't know either..." Lu Ning sat down and closed his eyes to relieve his headache. "Anyway, putting my treasure on it will have an effect. I don't know about anything else."
"Hey, that's what it seems like."
Lu Ning heard the sound and opened one eye and glanced over, and found that Yan Rong had used the thin needle to pierce her heart just above her heart. A group of red patterns instantly formed under her skin. At the same time, the The wound also stopped bleeding.
"It's very dangerous." Lu Ning said helplessly.
"You said you have to pay some price to obtain treasure. This thing is really powerful and suits me very well." Yan Rong touched the brooch with his finger and grinned, "I will show it to you after I study it. Check out the power of this treasure!"
"what ever……"
Lu Ning closed her eyes, and deeper fatigue began to invade her mind. This may be a side effect of just reassembling the past. It seems that this ability should be used less...
"Asleep." Yan Rong looked at Lu Ning, who was breathing evenly and falling into a deep sleep, and tried to stand up. The clothes were covering the wound again, which was supposed to be a bandage. She knew very well that with her current physique, this It's not fatal at all, maybe a butcher can cure it.
"Thanks."
Lu Ning suddenly became even more tired than before. Yan Rong could vaguely guess the reason. She couldn't help but shook her head: "Originally, I planned to come to see your strength, but in the end, you took care of me." Yes."
She stayed here for a while, and the people who left also came back.
Yuan Jie and Lian Bisheng found nothing, but they were not upset at all and kept their normal attitude. But Jean, Alex and Zhu Qinyuan encountered some dangers. The three of them were also attacked by a treasure and fell into a strange church with a large number of choirs and believers. In the end, they Jean was able to escape after cracking the core of the church, and the treasure is now worn on Jean's finger, a ring set with white gems.
"This treasure is called the Glory Church... No matter what its real function is, the spiritual impact must be considerable anyway." Jean looked a little uncomfortable, and the two people around him were even worse. Alex was already sluggish. When he came down, Zhu Qinyuan looked even more irritable. The main reason was probably because of the singing sound in the church that seemed to be surrounded by magical sounds.
Yan Rong also showed everyone his brooch, which was something to be thankful for. The harvest of three treasures was considered a worthwhile trip, and no one was greedy. After Lu Ning woke up, she carefully left the park. Of course, she was not lucky enough to touch the fourth treasure.
"Speaking of which... this is a public ruin, right? Then the nobles should know that we got the treasure?" Lian Bisheng said as he walked out of the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of a small pavilion not far from the door. He was wearing a black martial arts uniform with a turban on his head. There was an obvious gray "Samurai" embroidery pattern on the lower part of the martial arts uniform. He only had A long knife and nothing else, but nearly half of his face has been mechanized, one eye has been replaced with a prosthetic eye, and the corners of his mouth that remain human-like are slightly upturned.
"Greetings to everyone, I am Samurai's foreign affairs officer, responsible for this negotiation about the treasure."
"Negotiation?" Jean glanced with some confusion, "I remember that the nobles have been collecting treasures."
"Correction, we are collecting ownerless treasures and suppressing out-of-control treasures, but we never rob." The foreign affairs officer gently shook his head, "If you just obtained the treasures from the ruins, I won't do much. Said, but at present, it is obvious that you have obtained the qualification to use the treasure."
"Qualification?" Zhu Qinyuan frowned, "What's the difference?"
"The reason why the items left by the king are precious is because they all have a certain degree of autonomy. You will definitely wonder why your harvest is so rich... But in fact, you just happened to come across a treasure that suits you." Foreign Affairs The official smiled and said, "We try to send in as many different people as possible so that the treasures can be picked out by people who meet their needs before they can be brought out. Of course, you can decide now. If you want to exchange the treasures, Samurai guarantees that there will be a way. We can cut off the connection between you and offer the price you need, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to exchange, as long as the treasure leaves the ruins, sooner or later we will have a chance to recover it.”
"So you can't take it by force?" Lu Ning asked.
"This is the rule." The foreign affairs officer nodded.
