The bright purple sword light plowed across the ground!

The huge arc-shaped air curtain pushed forward and rushed straight into the two fleeing people in mid-air.

Sirna and Talleyrand, who had transformed into gargoyles, had crystal clear obsidian eyes that reflected the moonlight-like sword curtain.

"Talleyrand, stay alive."

Sirna said softly, pushed Talleyrand's chest hard, and broke away from the other party's arms.

Talleyrand shrank and subconsciously reached out to grab Sirna's hand, but failed.

She flapped her incomplete wings, barely glided a certain distance, and headed straight towards the huge purple sword curtain.

"Sirna! Come back quickly!

"

Talleyrand saw his lover's actions and knew that she wanted to sacrifice herself to buy him time to escape, so he couldn't help but cry out urgently.

Sirna threw an alchemy potion into her mouth as quickly as possible, chewed the glass bottle with a crack, and swallowed the potion and glass shards together.

The stone skin on her body became harder in an instant, and the color also changed from gray to black gray.

Countless images flashed through his obsidian eyes, and finally stopped on a man in black. He was a [Mystic] member of Talleyrand's executioner squad.

Sirna used the last of her extraordinary power to perform "Borrowing the Past", temporarily possessing part of the power of the [Mystic], and once again covering herself with an extremely thick air flow barrier.

She turned her head and opened her mouth, wanting to say the last words to Talleyrand, but it was too late.

The next second.

boom!

The purple sword light drowned the gargoyle's figure.

Talleyrand was blown away by the huge shock wave. After tumbling for several weeks, he fell to the ground.

Peng!

He climbed up, ignoring the dust and dirt, and looked up into the distance.

A broken body fell from the air, that was his lover Sirna. The body of the wax figure has been destroyed, and its spirituality has also been evaporated...

She's gone forever.

"No……"

Talleyrand's eyes burst into tears, and he fell to his knees.

The moonlight sword curtain slashed by Byers was not completely blocked by Hilna, and the remaining sword energy shattered and splashed around randomly.

A sharp blade of sword energy passed across Talleyrand's cheek, scratching his stone skin, but he remained indifferent.

Talleyrand remained silent, letting the sword energy brush against him.

Blood seeped out from the cracks on his body. He remained motionless, his eyes flashing through countless images.

Hua Hua...

The sound of rapid scratching on the pages of the book was heard, and the scene in his eyes regressed to the moment when Sirna pushed him away.

Talleyrand stretched out his hand, trying to drag her out of history, but he was helpless like trying to drag her out of history.

"Sirna..."

His hands dropped weakly, tears streaming down his face.

Talleyrand immediately thought of a possibility, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

"As long as I advance to a high sequence, there will definitely be a chance to get her back from the past... I can't die, I want to live, I want... revenge!"

The picture in his eyes continued to regress, and he found himself before the battle, and immediately overlapped.

History back!

Talleyrand's eyes cracked with a crack, like broken obsidian.

His body miraculously recovered, but his spirit had been irreversibly damaged.

Byers pursued him, and the black sword fell suddenly, taking Talleyrand's head directly.

boom!

The gargoyle wing membrane behind Talleyrand closed to block the blow, and he used it to roll back and widen the distance.

He spit out a stream of black flames from his mouth, forcing the Black Knight back.

"Biles, I will come back to you."

Talleyrand looked directly at the Black Knight, his eyes indifferent, and his figure slowly disappeared.

He left the spiritual world.

Dark horizon.

Howard quietly observed the changes in the spiritual world.

When Talleyrand successfully escaped, she turned the scene again and focused on the silver pot head.

"The direction of the script is roughly consistent. Jack fights with the Red Rose Team and is forced to consume the spell that contains Maggie's breath...

Then an idle stroke I made came into effect, leading the lampkeeper team, which was originally targeting Byers, to Jack's side, prompting Maggie's incarnation to intervene..."

he whispered.

"Sure enough, you are destined to be bound to Maggie. This is a relationship that even I cannot change... But my needs are very small. I just need to temporarily remove her from the stage."

Howard was not surprised by Maggie's presence.

What surprised her was that Jack deviated from the direction of the script without any interference. Although it was just a sign, it was already somewhat beyond her control.

"It really surprises me. Where did those 'deep sea' traces on your body go? Not only did you not go to the deep sea because of your background as a 'fisherman', but you chose the path of destiny... Who changed my settings? ?”

Howard's calm eyes looked at the silver pot head in the spiritual world.

"Forget it, these are no longer important, it's just that your ending is slightly different."

She put away her script and black pen, stood up and took a step forward.

"But I still want to see...what went wrong."

In the spiritual world.

The hunt for the Black Knight has come to an end.

Chen Lun watched as Sirna was chopped down with a sword, and Talleyrand fought back before dying and escaped from the spirit world.

He was a little surprised that this almost certain death situation was actually revived by Talleyrand.

'But Mr. Byers is safe for the time being... The Sun Church's pursuers were eliminated by the Cat God, and Jerome was targeted by the King of Slaughter. There was only one way to die, leaving only the Moon Church who had not yet appeared... But Depending on the situation, they won't be coming for the time being. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He greeted the four companions around him and planned to go forward and talk to Mr. Byers.

at this time.

A man appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Golden hair, three-dimensional facial features, and deep eyes.

This man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an ordinary lawyer. He smiled at Chen Lun and stretched out his hand.

"!

"

Chen Lun's hair stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

The warning of spiritual intuition has almost reached the threshold.

But he was shocked to find that he couldn't move, even entering the extreme state.

Byers, Pinghu, Akbin and Drinker all saw this man at the same time and saw what this man wanted to do to Chen Lun, so they all wanted to stop him.

But they were all stunned.

A strong feeling of sadness suddenly erupted in their hearts. It was born out of thin air for no reason, and the wave of grief suddenly drowned them.

Byers stood like a statue, Mr. Pot howled, Mr. Bottle retracted his bronze bottle, Akbin fell to his knees, and Drinker yelled and fell down, holding his head and curling up.

Tsk tsk...

On Chen Lun's chest, countless phantoms of green vines were forcibly dragged out, forming an ancient book, which was held in the hands of the strange blond middle-aged man in front of him.

"Howard...!"

Chen Lun remembered the words of the Cat God, contacted the man in front of him, and said the name with difficulty.

Howard held "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" and smiled at Chen Lun.

"Jack, don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm... I'm just checking on the progress."

After saying that, she opened the book in her hand.

boom!

A blinding white light flashed.

Howard and Chen Lun disappeared at the same time.

Within the space constructed by [Four Seasons Bookmark-Jingzhe].

Howard stood on the vast hills, looking around at the boundless grassland, and then at the empty vine platform in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.

"This...is not 'Wonderland'."

She took a few steps forward and came to the vine stand.

The vision is brightened.

Look up.

Directly ahead, at the end of the field of vision, a towering tree stands, with lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and the sun.

A giant silver-white snake clings to the big tree. Each scale on her body is as big as a house. Its surface is covered with millions of densely packed eyes. The eyes rotate and the holes are reflected. Countless scenes from the real world.

A circle of light was reflected around the silver-white giant snake, and there were thousands of profound and mysterious symbols floating in the circle, squirming and twisting as if they were alive.

The snake head blocked all light, with the light behind it, looking down at Howard like a god.

Howard looked shocked.

She looked directly at the giant silver snake, blood slowly flowing out of her eyes, but she didn't care.

"Accident... What a surprise... The accident that happened to Jack made me feel terrified, but also extremely excited... Because accidents are an indispensable and important part of drama. If even I, the writer, could not predict it, then this drama would be It’s even more exciting.”

Howard murmured, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and bowed respectfully towards the distant giant snake.

"The humble tragedian salutes the noble serpent of fate, His Majesty Oscar."

A long while.

The giant snake sent his thoughts, and the whole space trembled slightly:

"Children's pranks, although fun, are meaningless."

Howard kept stroking his chest and saluting, and showed a smile.

"Every adult was once a child, but unfortunately, few adults remember this."

The giant silver snake stopped talking.

She just stared at Howard silently.

Howard's smile froze, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead uncontrollably. The veins were exposed, as if she was enduring terrible pain.

"As the angel of fate, you have been watching me and watching everything happen... I can feel a force pushing me invisibly. I am that key node and an important figure in the new era."

She raised her head with difficulty, the skin on her forehead had begun to swell, the muscles on her face were also twisting, and her voice was dry:

"Destiny guides me... I am the protagonist of my time."

Howard's forehead was broken open, revealing a black crying mask, and his eyes were also bleeding with blood and tears.

"I'm sorry to offend you, but even you can't change this...Jack is my favorite character and will always be."

Peng's sound.

Howard's body exploded like a firework and turned into a pool of blood and mud.

The crying mask fell to the ground with a clang.

"Everyone is walking on a similar path, but they all mistakenly think that they are amazing."

The comments of the Serpent of Destiny echoed in the space.

Chen Lun opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in darkness.

He climbed up, took off the silver pot from his head, and looked around.

'What is this place……? '

He recalls what happened before.

The man who had been hiding behind the scenes to control his own destiny unexpectedly showed up and personally took out "Philip in Wonderland" from his body.

Then he was teleported to this place.

'What on earth does that guy... want to do? ! '

Chen Lun felt a ball of anger suppressed in his chest.

He could accept that he was killed by a strong person in a high position after trying his best, because that was just because his skills were inferior to others. But having your destiny controlled like this and being manipulated like a puppet is really a frustrating experience.

Chen Lun stood up, clenched his fist, and slowly released it.

He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

'As long as I am alive, I have a chance... There is no need for the Moon God and the Cat God to lie to me. As long as I am promoted to a high sequence, I will have the ability to resist fate and jump out of this circle.

And I am a time traveler. My advantage is that I am a plot prophet, a player, and a panel... The reason why Howard can control my destiny is because she is a high-ranking person in my sequence. As long as my power rises, she will take it. I do not know what to do. '

Chen Lun calmed down slightly.

He told himself that anger was useless and that he could only find a way out by looking at himself from the most objective third-person perspective.

There was darkness all around, except for a glimmer of light not far away.

Chen Lun calmed down and walked forward.

He could sense that the location he was in was in a fairyland, because his consciousness could communicate with Maggie's statue and other wooden houses, but he didn't know why and couldn't teleport.

'I have never been to this place before...and I seem to be trapped here, unable to exit Wonderland for the time being. '

Chen Lun's face was solemn.

As he moved forward, he saw the source of the light clearly. It was a bonfire with a pot of soup boiling on it, smelling of mushrooms and meat.

Next to the bonfire is a wooden house, just like the other wooden houses in Wonderland.

Chen Lun was delighted.

'If you can activate it, you might be able to go back. '

He did not rush to open the door, but stood at a distance and observed it quietly.

The bonfire outside was obviously a man-made sign, and as usual, powerful polluting creatures were guarding the vicinity of the wooden house, so Chen Lun remained quite vigilant.

Almost half an hour passed.

Chen Lun didn't notice anything unusual, and his spiritual intuition didn't give any warning.

He thought for a while, and to be on the safe side he used the cards to do some divination, and the predictions he gave were not dangerous.

Chen Lun raised his hand and dropped a few playing cards near the wooden house as "spell seal" props that could be replaced at any time to escape. Then he put on [black pattern cufflinks], sprayed a little [rest perfume], and cautiously came to the wooden house door.

He gently pushed open the door of the cabin.

The furnishings inside are completely different from the wooden house in my impression.

With doubts, Chen Lun briefly explored inside for a week, and was surprised to find that there were traces of people living here, and these traces were not long ago.

'Is it Philip...? '

He suddenly had such an idea, but he remembered the reply from Maggie, the Cat God, that Philip failed to challenge fate, so it was unlikely to be him.

'Who could that be? The authority of the fairyland is in my hands. Apart from me, it is impossible for anyone to enter the wooden house...'

Chen Lun frowned.

As usual, he rummaged around on the table in the wooden house. Usually there would be something left by Philip here.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any valuable relics this time.

at this time.

A footsteps sounded from outside the wooden house.

Chen Lun's heart skipped a beat.

The footsteps seemed to appear suddenly, leaving him unaware.

Chen Lun turned around suddenly and saw a figure standing at the door.

"You're finally here, Jack."
