In the city in the thick fog, the quiet blackness was broken by the fierce burning firelight. The tremors of the earth and the explosion of burning vines formed a fierce symphony.
On the dilapidated streets, countless vines continued to break out of the ground and walls, and were swallowed up by the flames and the rolling ground.
The two puppets, the fire demon and the clay man, were getting closer and closer to Ana Shen in the center of the vine jungle.
Ana Shen sat cross-legged in the center of the street, her figure completely hidden by the vines. ,
The wounds on his body had completely healed, but the vines kept growing, causing him to consume a lot of spiritual energy, and his entire face became extremely pale.
The clown's voice sounded in Shen Yan's heart: [How long can you last? If you can't hold it any longer, replace it. Don't trap both of us when the time comes. 】
[Although this house is not very nice, it still has my share! 】
"How much psychic energy have you recovered?"
[Almost 70%? 】
The clown emerged from Ana Shen's shoulders, and his head made of black psychic energy was much more solid than before.
"Seventy percent...is enough."
"Listen, I have a plan. Next, I will hand over control of my body to you. You have to use shadow jump to dodge into the building next to me before you are discovered by Zero."
As he spoke, Ana Shen once again spawned a batch of vines and controlled them to wrap around the clay man and the fire demon.
Although such an attack would not have much effect, it could delay their destruction of the vine jungle as much as possible.
"Zero can only travel through space to the location within his sight. The fact that we can hide under the cover of vines for so long is proof of that."
Ana Shen controlled the vines, revealing a gap on the side as it swayed. Through the gap, she could see a shopping mall building to her left.
"The environment in the shopping mall building is complex and there are enough obstructions. Even if Zero chases in, it will be difficult to use our advantages. As long as we limit this elusive assassin, we have enough opportunities to eliminate the other two one by one. .”
【No need to go to such trouble】
The clown looked greedily at one end of the road. Behind the cover of a large number of vines, the clay figure was struggling to stir up the ground. Under the rolling of the earth, a large number of vines were crushed and buried.
[I use the shadow to jump and go behind the clay man, and then you use your third hand to take out his psychic fire! 】
The clown's black head floated up and down beside Shen Yan's ears, and with the same tone as his but more arrogant and sinister tone, he said seductively——
[With the power of the Kunze Sequence, we can hide directly underground. No matter how hard the female doll contaminated with the Space Sequence tries, it will not be able to lock us. 】
[At that time, whether he uses fire or water, he will be the prey that provides us with psychic fire! 】
"no."
Although this proposal was very tempting, Ana Shen decisively chose to refuse.
"I'm not confident enough to take out the clay figurine's fire before that woman teleports. If I'm targeted by her again, it will be difficult to escape like now."
After saying this, Ana Shen did not give the clown any more time to hesitate. His eyes bloomed with emerald green light, and the life energy was poured into the land under his feet with all his strength.
The next moment, the vines that had been cleared out by 80% began to grow crazily again.
Almost instantly, the clay man and the fire demon were completely submerged.
There were even vines on the walls and roofs of the buildings, taking advantage of the situation to wrap around Zero in mid-air.
"It's now!"
After saying that, Ana Shen closed her eyes, decisively handed over control of her body, and her consciousness automatically sank into her mind.
Seeing that the vines were losing control and starting to disintegrate, and the clay man and the fire demon were about to break free, the clown cursed a bastard, reluctantly took over control of his body, and ran towards the building on the side of the road.
The sudden growth of vines did not cause any trouble to the three puppets, but it inevitably blocked their sight.
When they smashed the vines in front of them, they happened to see Ana Shen under the control of the clown jump into a shopping mall building.
Tapir stood on the high building and saw Ana Shen's movements clearly. The moment the clown took over Ana Shen's body, Tapir immediately sensed it.
"Shadow's breath!"
Tapir touched his chin with his slender fingers and said with a smile: "Have you finally stopped hiding and come out of his body?"
"Next, let me play with you."
As he spoke, the eyes of the tapir and the three puppets turned pale at the same time.
And they said in unison: "Don't let me down!"
The puppets, under the control of Tapir, broke into the building together from different locations.
The mist in the realm is like an omnidirectional sensory organ, constantly transmitting information from the entire realm to the tapir's brain.
Ana Shen was running in the building, and in Tapir's perception, he was as clear as ink drops on white paper.
Even every movement of his muscles and every heartbeat were clearly felt by the tapir.
So the three puppets, under the control of the tapir, surrounded Ana Shen from three directions at the same time.
On the other side, after Ana Shen handed over control of her body to the clown, she also revealed her next plan.
"Go to the control room first and turn on all the lights in this building."
As long as there is light, there will also be shadows. At that time, one can use shadows to jump, but the other party cannot use space teleportation due to blocked vision, and the balance of the battle will completely tip in one's favor.
The clown naturally understood the reason, and when he arrived inside the building, he went straight to the control room.
After using his spiritual energy to violently break open the safety door, he turned on all the fire emergency lights.
Although there was not much light this time, it was finally no longer a gray and shadowless world.
Seeing the clown controlling his body and hiding in the shadows, Ana Shen finally felt a sense of security.
[I never thought that one day I would want a ray of light so desperately. 】
[Once upon a time, the world I most wanted to see was a world filled with shadows. At that time, I would become the king of this world! 】
The Joker hid in the shadows, his eyes revealing for the first time any emotion other than madness.
It was a kind of confusion that was hard to explain clearly.
"From a scientific point of view, these mist condensed by water molecules are like many tiny mirrors, which refract light and spread it to every corner."
"And the light was also swallowed up by them bit by bit in the process of spreading, and finally gradually formed this appearance with no light and no shadow."
[Perhaps next time, we can try to bring a light source ourselves. 】
"Maybe... we need to rethink what a shadow is."
[Thinking...no, I don’t need to think! 】
The clown controlled Ana Shen's body, swimming and jumping in the shadows like a fish. The shadows on the entire floor became darker and darker under his influence.
His voice began to echo from every shadow—
[Now I just want to catch their fire, and then appreciate their fear and wailing before death! 】
[I felt the tremors of the building, the breath of the clay figure, and the smell of sulfur——]
[Let's go, let's go, let's go find him, I can't help but tear him apart! 】
The clown moved faster and faster in the shadows, the emergency lights began to flicker on and off, and thin scratches continued to appear on the wall.
"No, our first target is not the Clay Man."
Ana Shen hid in the clouds deep in his consciousness and said rationally: "Our first hunting target is zero!"
