clang! clang! clang!
When the bell rang again, the whole town of Centralia came to life again.
This time, both Fang Cheng and Isis stood in the town, watching helplessly as the town took on a new look at an incredible speed, and the people who died were also resurrected at home.
Dulu's group of investigators have not yet appeared, and they have to wait for another ten minutes.
Fang Cheng said to Isis: "I'll try again to see if I can catch Richard. Can you go guard it in the mine?"
Isis nodded, not objecting to the proposal.
After the two separated, Fang Cheng immediately flew to Richard's home.
In the two-story building, Richard sat in the living room, neither reading nor eating, but waiting quietly.
He knew that the two strangers would definitely come to him as soon as possible after they revived in the town.
When this idea came to Richard's mind, Fang Cheng had already teleported behind him, and he was completely unaware of it.
The second hand of the wall clock on the wall has just pointed to 2, which means that only ten seconds have passed since the town recovered.
Fang Cheng stretched out his hand directly to the unaware Richard, and could drag him into his subspace by grabbing his body.
Unfortunately, the result was exactly the same as before. The moment his hand touched it, Richard's body twisted instantly, and then disappeared into the crack.
Fang Cheng subconsciously wanted to keep up, and at the same time opened his own subspace cracks in an attempt to interfere with the opponent.
But these were all useless efforts. He was still excluded from the opponent's subspace and could not interfere with the opponent's behavior.
brush!
Richard disappeared suddenly, leaving only Fang Cheng standing in the living room.
"Gan!"
Another failure made Fang Cheng couldn't help but curse.
Richard was not very strong and couldn't even react to Fang Cheng's movements.
But whenever he is attacked or touched, he can use the subspace cracks to escape, which is obviously a passive ability.
If you don't solve this problem, you'll never catch him.
Fang Cheng now misses the mist in the kingdom of the undead that can prevent the opening of subspace cracks.
If that thing was there, Richard wouldn't always be able to run away.
After leaving the small building, Fang Cheng immediately rushed to the mine.
The underground fire in the mine has appeared, and Isis stands in the flames, waiting for Fang Cheng's arrival.
"what happened?"
While using a repulsive force field to separate the flames from the monsters transformed by the cultists, Fang Cheng asked Isis, "Why did the underground fire appear earlier?"
Isis explained: "The underground fire appeared early and it should be related to Richard."
She waited for Richard to appear in the mine, and she got her wish, but the ending was the same as Fang Cheng's. After taking action, Richard immediately used the subspace crack to escape, and no one could catch up.
After Richard ran away, the underground fire appeared immediately, much earlier than the last time.
This was the first time that Fang Cheng encountered such a situation where he couldn't catch up and couldn't catch up. He was helpless for a while.
Isis was very calm: "If we can't catch him, then we have to talk to him."
Fang Cheng nodded slowly, this was the only way now.
It was impossible for Richard to hand over his mother's body, but it should be okay for him to open a path.
Fang Zhou himself was not in a hurry to collect his mother's body. He had not yet figured out what his mother's purpose was.
The underground fire soon burned the mine into a labyrinth, and the altar was once again exposed from the stone.
Richard's figure appeared on the altar. Fang Cheng and Isis came to him, but neither of them was in a hurry to take action.
Richard looked down at the two of them. Although he had been attacked so many times, his tone was still very sincere: "You can't catch me, so why are you wasting your time here?"
Isis said: "Are you still unwilling to give us your mother's body?"
Richard shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be hostile to you, but this thing is very important to me and I can't give it to you anyway."
He was very sure that he was no match for Fang Cheng and Isis, and the strength of both sides was no longer on the same level.
If it wasn't for the subspace crack, he would have been killed long ago.
That's why Richard kept urging these two people to leave, not wanting to continue to entangle with them.
But if Fang Cheng and Isis insist on taking away his mother's body, Richard will not give in and will definitely fight them to the end.
"We don't need things."
Fang Cheng said, "Open the way out and we can go on our own."
Richard asked doubtfully: "Can't you go by yourself?"
Before the town revived, he noticed that Fang Cheng and Isis had left this place, only to come back later.
Fang Cheng said angrily: "We have to go back to the time when we came in, not half a century ago or other time points."
Richard was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't help you."
"What did you say?"
Fang Cheng's face suddenly darkened.
Richard can obviously use subspace cracks to escape everywhere, but now he says he can't help. Isn't this just taking off his pants and farting?
Richard looked at the two of them helplessly: "I can't leave this place myself. If you have a way, please solve it yourself. I really can't help you."
Isis spoke before Fang Cheng: "Why can't you leave?"
Richard hesitated and did not answer the question.
"You can obviously leave, so why worry about whether you can go back to the original time? A few years of life is not a big problem for you, right?"
"You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, right?"
Fang Cheng was originally very angry, but he also knew that anger could not solve any problems now.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I don't need your help. Why is Centralia Town in this situation? You just need to explain it clearly to us."
First, we need to know the situation in Centralia Town before we can find a solution.
Otherwise, he and Isis would have no idea why the town of Centralia became what it is now, and it would take many years and months to find a way out.
Faced with Fang Cheng's question, Richard remained silent for a while and then chose to refuse: "Sorry, I can't tell you the truth. I hope you can understand."
"I understand Nima!"
Fang Cheng could no longer hold back his anger and took action directly, trying to control the blood in Richard's body.
And Isis on the side did not stop him.
No wonder Drew's group of investigators have been hunting Richard for half a century.
This guy really deserves a beating. He knows the truth but refuses to say anything. He keeps urging others to leave and says he can't help.
Richard also expected Fang Cheng to have this reaction. He sighed, and the moment his blood was controlled, he used the subspace rift to escape again.
As he disappeared, the underground fire once again penetrated the ground and began to consume the entire town.
At this time, Dulu's group of investigators had just appeared. Faced with the town being engulfed in flames, a group of people were dumbfounded.
They had hunted Richard thousands of times and had never encountered anything like this.
How come it ends right after it starts? What about the process?
Drew was the first to react: "They must be the two newcomers!"
He was originally worried that Fang Cheng and Isis would take action in advance, causing the pursuit plan to fail again.
I didn't expect them to move so fast.
"Dulu, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Wait until next time."
Duru made a helpless sound, and then a group of people were swallowed up by the flames.
Fang Cheng and Isis hid in the subspace, feeling very bad.
If you want to return to the original point in time, you must first find out the truth about Centralia Town. The only person who knows the truth is Richard.
But Richard refused to speak, so he had to deal with him first before he could get the truth out of him.
Things come full circle and come back again. Whether he wants to get his mother's body or leave the town of Centralia, he cannot escape Richard.
So at this moment, Fang Cheng and Isis both reached a consensus in their hearts. No matter what, they should deal with Richard first.
However, facing Richard, a man who could only run away, Fang Cheng was helpless and could only ask the experienced Isis: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Isis is worthy of being a vampire who has lived for more than two hundred years. She remains calm in times of crisis and quickly gets some clues from the complicated situation.
She asked back: "Do you think what Richard said is true or false?"
"of course……"
Fang Cheng subconsciously wanted to lie, but he swallowed the words again.
I was furious at Richard's words before, but now I have calmed down and thought about it, he didn't seem like he was lying.
Of course, this is just Fang Cheng's feeling, and may not be accurate.
Fang Cheng also asked: "Do you think it is true or false?"
Isis smiled slightly and said: "According to my observation, the possibility of him telling the truth is very high. If he wants to deceive us, he can find a reason. There is no need to refuse directly, because this will obviously anger us."
Fang Cheng suddenly became interested.
Isis has lived for so long and has seen countless types of people, so she usually doesn't make mistakes.
If Richard could even deceive her, he could only be considered a professional actor.
"Assuming what Richard said is true, he can use the warp rift to escape, but he can't leave this place."
Isis looked directly into Fang Cheng's eyes: "What do you think is the reason for this?"
"Centralia Town can't let people leave? No, we can leave too."
Fang Cheng and Isis could use the subspace crack to escape, but they just couldn't find the right time.
Although the time of the town of Centralia is distorted, it is obvious that it can come and go freely, unlike the kingdom of the undead, where even the subspace rift cannot be opened.
Isis continued: "For some reason, Richard cannot leave the town of Centralia, but he can move freely using subspace cracks. Let us not worry about the reason why he cannot leave for the time being. Think about it first. Where do you go every time you use a warp rift?"
""
Isis's words seemed to clear away the fog, and Fang Cheng's eyes gradually brightened, and he vaguely caught a clue.
"Those who can use the cracks to move freely must have their own independent space."
Fang Cheng spoke faster and faster: "Richard cannot leave Centralia Town. Could it be that Centralia Town is actually his independent space?"
After Richard used a subspace rift to escape, Fang Cheng applied his own experience and thought he was hiding in an independent subspace.
If Centralia Town belongs to Richard's independent space, it means that he is still hiding in Centralia Town after using the subspace rift.
In this way, a reasonable explanation can be found for why Richard was able to exclude Fang Cheng every time he used a crack to escape.
After all, this is his territory and he can do this easily.
Isis said: "It's very possible. Where do you think he will hide every time he uses a crack to escape?"
"It is possible that he ran to Centralia Town at another time, or he may have continued to hide somewhere in Centralia Town."
Fang Cheng cheered up as he said that, whether it was the former or the latter, he could use the subspace rift to pursue.
Of course, the above speculations are all based on the premise that Richard did not lie.
But no matter what, it is a direction that can be tried after all, and there is no need to wander around like a headless fly.
In a good mood, Fang Cheng wanted to catch Isis and kiss her hard: "Yansheng, you finally discovered Hua Dian. You are such a clever little girl."
If Isis hadn't reacted so quickly and Fang Cheng had only relied on himself, I don't know how long it would have taken to figure this out.
"Little clever ghost..."
Isis was a little speechless: "You can change the compliment to something like the embodiment of beauty and wisdom."
"It's better to be more modest as a person. I'm embarrassed to boast about something so disgusting."
"I'm not a human, I'm a vampire, you can praise me."
"..."
The two came out of the subspace again, and the town of Centralia returned to its ruins shrouded in poisonous fog.
The night is dark, and it will be midnight in a little while.
"You can catch him later."
Fang Cheng said, "Let me see where he will hide."
Isis nodded. Although she could also open subspace cracks, she did not have her own independent subspace and could not move at will like Fang Cheng and Richard.
clang! clang! clang!
The time soon came to twelve o'clock, and the familiar bell rang again.
Seeing the town beginning to recover, Fang Cheng immediately released his blood.
An incalculable number of bloodline elements spread in all directions, filling every inch of land and space in the entire town of Centralia.
And Isis used spiritualism to teleport to the two-story building where Richard lived.
In the living room on the first floor, Richard was sitting on the sofa.
He looked at Isis who appeared and couldn't help but sigh: "You can't catch me, so why waste time here all the time? Isn't it a good idea to leave?"
"You are the one wasting time."
Isis smiled faintly: "If you are willing to tell us the truth about Centralia Town, why should we be entangled with you?"
Richard shook his head. If he had wanted to say it, he would have said it long ago. Why would he have been chased by Drew's group of investigators for half a century.
Isis also knew that the two sides had different positions. If Richard was not given a real threat, he would not listen no matter how much he said.
So she took action directly and covered Richard's body with spiritualism.
Richard's own strength was completely insufficient to deal with idealism, but the moment he was attacked, he was sent away by the subspace rift.
Isis looked at the empty sofa with deep thought in her eyes.
From the beginning to now, she has observed Richard running away many times.
She discovered that Richard himself was not controlling the subspace rift, and he was completely unable to react.
There should be someone or something else controlling the subspace rift to protect Richard from harm.
But why is he kept being killed by Drew?
There are so many possibilities that the only way to answer is to find the truth.
Isis looked in the direction of Fang Cheng, hoping she could succeed this time.
Praet should have already taken advantage of the opportunity to start the final trial. If Fang Cheng delays for too long, it will easily lead to delays.
"Got you!"
Fang Cheng, who was suspended in the air, opened his eyes and looked sharply in the direction of the mine.
Bloodline elements were spread throughout the town of Centralia, and Fang Cheng clearly sensed that after Richard used a subspace rift to escape from home, he instantly appeared in the mine.
Fang Cheng also opened the crack in the subspace and traveled directly through it.
As long as he knows where the landing point is, he can move at will like Richard.
"You're pretty fast."
When Richard saw Fang Cheng appearing in front of him, he smiled in surprise, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet.
Fang Cheng said nothing, and two solar rays shot towards Richard.
Richard once again used the warp rift to escape.
Fang Cheng immediately sensed the bloodline elements all over the town, couldn't help but smile on his face, and then opened the subspace rift to chase after him.
In the woods outside the town, Richard's figure suddenly appeared.
He ran from the mine to the outside of the town in an instant, and Dulu's group of investigators failed to discover this for half a century.
So Richard was still very relaxed, but the next moment he saw Fang Cheng ghostly appearing in front of him.
"you!?"
Richard finally showed a ghost expression on his face, and his eyes were full of horror.
He had toyed with Dulu's group of investigators in a cat-and-mouse game for half a century, and today he was finally broken by Fang Cheng, an outsider.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Fang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and showed a kind smile: "You bastard, I'll see where you run this time!"
Richard was frightened by Fang Cheng's smile and did not dare to fight him. He hurriedly opened the subspace crack and escaped.
As soon as he ran away, the entire town of Centralia was immediately devoured by the underground fire that emerged.
Fang Cheng sensed that Richard was not found, so he opened the subspace crack and returned to the double-story building where Richard lived.
Isis was waiting in the living room of the small building. When she saw Fang Cheng appear, she asked, "How was it? Was it successful?"
"Half the success lies in whether we can catch him at another time."
Fang Cheng reached out and grabbed Isis's arm, opened the subspace rift again, and disappeared with her into the town of Centralia.
Not long after the two disappeared, a group of people from Dulu appeared.
As soon as the group was resurrected, they saw the entire town of Centralia being engulfed in fire, engulfing them.
"Gan, why are you here again?"
