Lu Ning could see the hesitation on Essun's face. In fact, she could see more. For example, Essun's hand that was not holding the gun was already holding crumpled paper, although he could only see the words "parenting authorization." words, but it’s enough.
"Please don't point the gun at me, father." Saga still maintained an unchanging expression, "I'm scared. If these little guys want to protect me, I can't control them."
A bitter smile appeared on Essun's face.
"The only way to deal with individuals who cause actual harm is to eliminate them. I have made so many efforts just to prevent you from getting to where you are today..."
"You know, this can't be changed. Just like people need to breathe, they and I are naturally attracted to each other."
"Therefore, this is my mistake, not yours." Essun shook his head, "My child, if I could not be moved by emotions, truthfully report the abnormality on your body, and take protection early, none of this would have happened. .It's my fault, I...failed to be your father."
A trace of surprise finally appeared on Saga's face. She took a step forward, as if she wanted to say something, but Essun had already pulled the trigger. The pain on his face made Lu Ning suspect that he was going to commit suicide, but the bullet still accurately hit Saga's heart, bringing out a pool of blood. The child's petite body even flew into the air for a second or two, and then fell to the ground.
At the same time, Essun's knees fell to the ground. He looked at the fallen Saga in despair, his eyes were red, he struggled to move forward two steps, squeezed the paper in his hand, but did not pay attention. He saw a red butterfly fluttering and landing on the back of his head.
In an instant, Essun's eyes suddenly widened. He tried to raise his hands, but his limbs lost strength.
But Saga lay on the ground and spoke.
"You are very kind to me, father. Grandma, the caregivers, uncles and aunts, everyone is very kind to me... But you want to kill me, and everyone calls me a monster. Insects, you say they are bad, but they They don’t want me to die, even now, they will save me.”
"Saga..."
"I don't understand."
Crush.
Lu Ning's knife cut the world apart. She had observed the switching methods of memories many times, and was basically certain that these memories were the connection of some residues. The most important memories of "Princess Butterfly" have probably been taken away and turned into parts of each room that I saw before, and what is left now is just some harmless residue.
"They can eat other people's brains and use them to repair the injuries I have suffered. I know that their love for me is not adulterated, but I still don't understand why this is the case." Saga's voice as a child lingered around, and was replaced by Lu There is only nothingness and emptiness around the world that has been cut open by Ning. After all, apart from this period of childhood, there is nothing beautiful left in Saga's life.
Lu Ning raised her hand and reached behind her back, grabbing the tentacle connecting herself and the other party.
"Then don't ignore their kindness!"
The blade cut the tentacles into pieces, and Lu Ning jumped into the air. The countless sharp teeth below opened again, and the corrupted and black butterflies were flying out from the eyeball that was constantly shedding tears.
"I don't understand! I don't understand!"
These wavy memory fragments can only scream, leaving only the childhood period and even the mind has degenerated to that time. The wildly dancing tentacles around it once again entangled themselves, collided with the blade, shattered, and exuded the smell of insects being crushed.
"If others are kind to you! Then return their kindness! Otherwise, they will be like you, otherwise they will-"
The robe behind Lu Ning rolled up, rolling up the memory fragments flying here like ink. Those memory fragments that were too bleak to remain intact were once again dyed with the color of ink. Black marks intertwined and expanded along the dagger in his hand, The blade was completely wrapped and transformed into a wedge wrapped in patterns.
"--like me!"
She threw the wedge, and the sharp memory shattered a line of black butterflies with an ink halo, accurately nailing into the crying eyeball, and more rancid and dirty liquid came out from the inside as the wound was torn. It spurts out, but the more it spurts out, the closer it gets to the normal color of blood.
"What on earth is this..."
“Solid self-awareness.”
A golden line of fire wrapped around Lu Ning's wrist and pulled her up. Yan Rong's voice came from above, with a relaxed smile: "I'm afraid the most valuable thing in this scene is this."
Lu Ning turned her head and looked at the rolling ink behind her. "Suddenly yesterday" seemed to no longer exist, replaced by endless memories of holding her in the air as softly as liquid, but Lu Ning knew what the treasure should have turned into.
"I'm afraid this is the king's arrangement. The fused treasure just found the one that is more compatible with me, but the treasure is still the king's memory and emotion." Yan Rong spread her golden wings of fire and slowly fell from above. Connected to red nerves, some eyeballs even began to come out of the body, but they were quickly burned by the flames.
"And now this is... our own?"
"Why do immortal people become like the Great Bishop? Their spirits will become corrupted and they will have doubts about their own existence. Although I don't think this method of creating a shell to wrap myself up is the correct response. But this is probably the last effort before the king disappears."
"king……"
"Don't be dazed, we have to go up."
Only then did Lu Ning see that the line of fire extending from Yan Rong's body was not only surrounding her, but there were also several thin lines of fire around her that were pulling up the people below.
"There are quite a few people who can break through that memory cage, but the things underneath are more ferocious." Yan Rong effortlessly pulled these people to a safe distance in the air. Lu Ning looked down and saw that the eyeball pierced by the wedge made of a short knife had slowly been repaired, and the blood squeezed the wedge out of the wound. Lu Ning raised her hand, and the ink connecting thread pulled the short knife back into her hand.
And when she stood at a slightly higher place, with the help of the light emitted by Yan Rong, she could see that there were more monsters crowded in the dark space underground. They were shapeless, with only empty rotten shells. The only thing they had in common was that Each monster has a large number of black tentacles growing on its body, and those threads of memory are trying to capture the next victim.
"Can't beat him?" Lu Ning raised her head and asked.
"Don't think that you are invincible if you have this." Yan Rong knocked on the fire on the surface of his body. "Although they are the self-protection of the soul, once they become material, they can be destroyed by the same method."
"Uh... Anyway, thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"Without you, we might still be wandering in those memories."
Of course, Lu Ning didn't need Yan Rong to pull her upward at this time. The ink behind her allowed her to swim freely in the air. The two of them pulled the remaining people and rushed forward. The red nerve could only block it slightly. Since Yan Rong can kill him from top to bottom, there is nothing he can do to stop him.
Yan Rong rushed out of the gap in the ground, but the witness of the ceremony was still sitting in his seat.
"Hey, I'm back."
"Hahaha... You are really lucky. No, should I say that your power is beyond my expectation?" The witness of the ceremony touched the crystal box in his arms, "You have also rescued me."
The flames also pulled the people fished out from below to the ground. Jean, Lian Bisheng, Kong Xiu, Lan Tu, Papi, and Ana were all there. Although some people looked a little worse, there was still no big problem. .
"There are not enough people." Lu Ning's heart sank. The red neural network below was quite large. Yan Rong directly punched through a hole, but a large part of the area was still not affected. The remaining people should still be lost in those areas. inside.
"Now we'd better talk openly and honestly. What exactly are you witnesses doing here? Where did the king go? It's better to explain these issues clearly." Yan Rong said to the witness of the crown ceremony.
"We? We are keeping these memories... It's not right, we are just forced to stay here and look at these memories..." The witness of the ceremony chuckled, "Now, the footsteps are approaching, I can hear that The sound of thunder is approaching here..."
At this time, Lan Tu took out an earphone connected to a microphone and put it on his head.
"The location of the witness of the crown ceremony has been determined and the data collection has been completed, but the relevant memories of the three witnesses are about to merge. How to deal with it?"
Everyone was stunned, including Ana and Papi.
"Lan Tu? Didn't you say you knew nothing?" Ana asked immediately.
"Sorry, I signed a confidentiality contract, and I must keep certain aspects secret from you." Lan Tu said calmly, "This is for safety. If you don't know about it, there won't be too much danger."
"Can you make it clear now?" The crackling mechanical brain was able to stay calm.
"It's very simple. This is a regular check, but this regular cycle is thirty years. The nobles always need to check whether the most dangerous part of the memory sealed by the king is still sleeping. If it has awakened, emergency measures must be taken. Including but not limited to cleaning the memory of the three witnesses, re-separating the space and time of the three locations, and - preparing to deal with the super large event of 'Past Glory'."
"What - what did you say?" This time it was the witness of the crowning ceremony who asked.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Agent, your escape plan is just a repetition of this thirty-year cycle. You are indeed in an unsupervised space, but it does not mean that the nobles are ignorant of your actions. After all, the nobles are under the king's orders. , to manage this kingdom on behalf of the king, and everything should be under control." Lan Tu said, taking off the headphones. White flames enveloped the earphones, amplifying the sounds coming from inside.
"We have received reports from three special exploration teams. It has been confirmed that the Shattered Mirror Ruins, the Corridor of Eternal Calamity, and the Deep Palace Prison have been conceptually connected in time and space, and the memory channel has been opened. Special Commissioner Lan Tu, evacuate immediately, next The incident was handled by the nobles, repeat, and evacuated immediately."
"Not all my teammates have come out yet." Lan Tu sighed, "I have to bring people out. This is the agreement I made."
"Then, you will be protected and transferred by foreign affairs officers from Mist, Dacapo, Nest and Samurai. Please keep in communication." The response from the other side was also very fast.
"Thanks."
At this time, the witness of the ceremony looked in disbelief: "Impossible! Since they can't monitor this place, how can they know everything about it? How long have we... been imprisoned for? How many times have we been reset?"
At this moment, rumbling thunder came from the dark hall, and the door behind the door that had not been paid special attention by anyone was forcefully opened, and several figures stood there.
"Huh? Someone has already arrived first?" Han Xizhe stood up with his long sword and looked at everyone in the hall with an indifferent expression.
Boom.
A sound like a beating heart came from below. Lu Ning saw that the red nerve group that Yan Rong had broken out suddenly accelerated its healing, and within a few seconds, it once again formed a dense network. Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the sound of rapid breathing.
Something broke above their heads - the sound of breaking made everyone look up. A baby was crying on the ceiling, but for the baby, it should be the ground. The long umbilical cord stretched out and coiled. Looking at the hollow below, Yan Rong flicked his hand and fired a shot, but the golden flame seemed to have just hit the phantom at this moment, and could not affect the umbilical cord's continued descent at all.
Then, bells rang out from nowhere, funeral-like mournful music sounded in the hall, a circle of ghostly fire was lit around, and an urn was smashed at the feet of the witness of the ceremony, and gray-white powder exploded into The clouds of fog began to settle downwards.
Lu Ning heard the cry, which came from the witness of the crown ceremony. The chain in his hand had been opened at some point, and he was reaching out to take out the crown from the crystal box. He rolled out of his seat and fell to his knees, whimpering as he raised his hands to raise the crown above his head.
A clear sound of the blade being drawn resounded throughout the hall. Everyone looked at each other in shock. No one drew their weapons at this time. The sound came from below.
=
"Deep palace prison, the sixth super large event 'Past Glory' has been generated."
On the top of the highest tower in the royal capital, the Mist foreign affairs officer who had met Lan Tu late at night held the white light in his palm and issued a report.
"The situation is not clear yet, please Eyesight to continue to provide effective intelligence analysis. All foreign affairs officers performing this mission must be equipped with artificial minds provided by Samurai, register life copy tags in Mist, and all space-time states only comply with the calibration provided by Dacapo and Nest. Alarm will block all means of leaking intelligence, and Sacrifice is prepared to deal with any complications caused by 'Past Glory'."
At this time, the palace in the distance suddenly became blurry, and then the entire palace was divided into uniform squares and floated into the air.
The foreign affairs officer was silent for a moment and said: "Having witnessed the effect of the weapon 'Void Longitude', it can be concluded that the king has awakened."
