There are two taboos in Black Gate City, one is in the light and the other is in the dark.

And the guy who is the president actually said that he was not very clear about another taboo that existed in Black Gate City. Who can believe this?

Anyway, Mr. An obviously didn't believe it, and his eyes were instantly full of vigilance and evil.

But Xiao Xiao is telling the truth...

He really didn't know that Xiaosi's power was so strong. Just from the previous fight, he could clearly feel that Xiaosi had taken a further step forward based on the hunter's third-stage strengthening.

Going one step further, it has entered the category of the fourth element.

When did he finish it?

Even if Xiao Xiao tried hard to think about it, he could only vaguely remember that Xiao Si seemed to have mentioned to him something about the key element of his fourth stage enhancement, what was its name, but he did not tell him that he had completed it. It’s a link!

The fourth element is horribly expensive. When did Xiaosi accumulate enough points?

In addition, following this train of thought, he quickly went deeper and vaguely discovered something strange.

It stands to reason that I am an observer, so in every confrontation, I can have a deep understanding of everything that happens on the entire battlefield, including everyone's performance, strengths and weaknesses.

But looking back at it now, I found that I had very little impression of Xiao Si on the battlefield.

It seems to be covered by something...

...Why does this strange phenomenon occur?



"Stop."

At the same time, on the empty streets of Black Gate City, the Great Knight of Spades and others were chasing Xiaosi angrily and nervously. The computer that was thrown to the ground had already searched for some results and made a slight beep. Siren.

But the Great Knight of Spades and the Great Knight of Clover could not care about them. The Great Knight Yin Qing had no head, could not hear or see. At this time, he just stretched out his hands and groped around for a while, and found a stone pier. , and then slowly sat down.

Quietly waiting for the Great Knight of Spades and the Great Knight of Clover to take back his head.

"We must get back the head of Great Knight Yin Qing!"

The Great Knight of Spades and the Great Knight of Clover both deeply understood that this was the key. They could not accept that an unknown child in Black Gate City could actually take away the head of Great Knight Yin Qing.

In addition, if they cannot retrieve the head of Knight Yin Qing within a short period of time, there will be dire consequences.

Great Knight Yin Qing will die!

They chased, Xiaosi escaped, and a ridiculous and tense scene unfolded in the deserted Black Gate City.

"The attack on the city of Rest has begun."

At this time, in the Black Goat Club, the shepherd was playing with a new instrument, surrounded by a bunch of nervous people.

Since the amazing progress has been made in the two projects of hunting the secondary mysterious source and the Hell Legion creation plan at the same time, two key changes have taken place in the Black Forest Biological Laboratory: First, the Shepherd's project leader The identity of the person is confirmed.

Because no one has made such great progress as Shepherd before, Black Forest decided to give him more power even though Shepherd was crazy.

Secondly, many technologies that have been dusty for a long time in the Black Forest have also begun to be brought out by the shepherds and begun to try to apply them.

At this time, a strange scene appeared in the Black Goat Club. A row of more than ten men and women, wearing white restraints and with their hair shaved off, were all lying upright on rows of hospital beds. , there is a sophisticated instrument at the head of their bed, and various complicated lines are connected to their temples. Previously, these people have been fed powerful sleeping pills, so they are sleeping deeply, and at the head of the bed Countless images of snowflakes appeared on the densely intertwined big screen.

"The spiritual ocean detection experiment, restart for the third time, begins."

With a solemn look on his face, the shepherd introduced the people around him: "The experimental subjects we selected are those who dream the most on weekdays."

"This is a rather special physique. Some people sleep very well and wake up at dawn. There are also people like them who like to dream the most. Even if they just take a nap, they will still dream."

"We chose them because we want to use their specialness to get a glimpse of the phenomena in the spiritual ocean."

"..."

As the plan progressed, the sleep of these experimental subjects gradually became more peaceful. Some complex signals were transmitted to the instruments at the bedside, and blurry and laggy pictures began to appear on the screen.

"The biggest difference between strangers and us is that they live in fantasy."

Shepherd said: "We have always wanted to understand what they see in their fantasies, but this kind of fantasy is polluting. Once you see it, you are likely to become one of them and cannot escape."

"So, very early on, Black Forest came up with some interesting ideas."

"The so-called fantasy of common life is actually some phenomena in people's collective subconscious. It can be understood as an ocean of spiritual power. We normally live on the surface, while foreigners live in the ocean. Therefore, there are normal things in our lives. Emotions and realistic logic, their lives are full of weirdness and madness, but there are gains and losses. Living in weirdness and madness, they can control some special spiritual force fields in the deep spiritual world to influence Everything that happens in real life."

"It is difficult for us normal people to directly peek into everything they see, unless they are pulled into the deep world of the spiritual ocean."

"But it's not completely impossible."

"Now, we can use these people who have entered sleep to create a symbiotic dream for them. The more symbionts there are, the more likely they are to enter the deep world of strangers."

"Then by reading their brain waves, you can see the things that foreigners see."

"..."

As he explained, the pictures on the big screen behind him seemed to be constantly distorting, merging, and automatically adjusting. Gradually, they saw a blurry but mysterious picture.

It was a ghost town.

These people were dreaming of Black Gate City, but it was an empty Black Gate City without anyone.

In this empty city, someone was chasing her. A headless woman was sitting quietly on a stone pier, with a flesh-and-blood mechanical monster thrown at her feet.

Not far away, someone was chasing him quickly. Running in front was a boy holding a rag doll.

From the horror style of this dream, it can be determined that what these experimental subjects are experiencing is a nightmare.





The shepherd saw the scene on the screen, with a confident smile on his face, and then whispered: "It is forbidden to experiment with medical techniques."

Everyone around him turned to look at him in confusion, only to see the shepherd pull out the slender teaching staff with a swipe, pointed at the headless woman in the painting, and said: "This is the source of her ability."

“Previously, the Black Forest triggered a technological explosion that affected the entire world, pushing our world to the pinnacle of prosperity. However, in this technological explosion, there were also some black and taboo technological developments that were not allowed by law. One of them is taboo medicine. The things they study include but are not limited to: head replacement surgery, cancer cell culture, life restart, gene chain suturing, etc... Among them, what I personally feel is the most horrifying is the brain soilless cultivation technology. …”

"The goal of this medical technique is to remove a person's head from the body and use various instruments to help it maintain life. It is an advance preparation technology for head replacement surgery."

"It is certain that this woman's ability comes from this technology."

"The abilities of the strangers can all be compared with certain phenomena in reality. No matter how strange the abilities are, they can find a correspondence in reality."

"Get a notebook and write it down. This is the most basic principle!"

"..."

"..."

The routes taken by Anxi City and Black Gate City are completely different, and there are even huge differences.

Just like after completing the first three stages of strengthening, they will never think of looking for the fourth element, lest they offend the mysterious source.

But they will continue to strengthen, but the way of strengthening is to use points and purchase a large number of strengthening elements to improve their abilities.

The four great knights of Rest City, except for the Great Knight of Heart with brand power as the core, each of them has their own enhancement points reaching more than 100,000, and they have core enhancement elements.

The core life-saving element of Great Knight Yin Qing is [Beauty Head].

This strengthening element of hers came from a patient in the city of Anxi. He was selected unknowingly, and he was so dazed that he was taken to the forbidden medical laboratory. When he woke up, he had only one left. Her head was sitting on a black box. Inside the box were various instruments connected to her head. But she didn't know that she only had one head left at this time. She just thought that her body was placed in the black box. The box was anesthetized, so I couldn't feel it.

She lived like this for half a year, and even participated in discussions with doctors.

It wasn't until one day half a year later that the doctor determined that she could survive in this state until the end of her life. So, he moved a mirror to face her and opened the box.

This woman is dead.

After she saw her state, she was scared to death.

But at that moment, her unique mental state and complex emotions were recorded by the human spiritual ocean, collected by the mysterious source of Xi'an City, and finally redeemed by the Great Knight Yin Qing.

With this element, Knight Yin Qing is not afraid of injuries such as decapitation, and can change her body freely. She can use her head to control flesh and blood machinery, and control various enhanced headless corpses.

But she didn't expect that when she arrived at Black Gate City, her head would be snatched away before she could show any of her abilities...

In her anger, she could only keep cursing Xiao Si. Unfortunately, without her body to help her replenish air, she could only open her mouth, but could not curse out loud.

Of course, neither Great Knight Yin Qing, nor Xiao Si, nor even Xiao Xiao, who was in Anxi City at this time, knew that this technology was actually related to Mr. Ye of Black Gate City.

It's just that what Knight Yin Qing got was the painful fruit of an experimental subject in forbidden medicine.

Mr. Ye relied on that mature technology to transform himself into the "pure" person he is now.

"Stop it."

"Otherwise we will destroy your entire Black Gate City and bury Great Knight Yin Qing with you."

"..."

The Great Knight of Spades and the Great Knight of Clover were both extremely angry and shouted loudly, ordering Xiaosi in front of them to stop.

Knight Yin Qing's head must be snatched back. Although she can remain immortal for a period of time, there are two situations that will directly kill her.

One is being out of the body for too long, about twenty-four hours.

The other is that the body and one's head are in different levels of space at the same time.

But when Xiao Si heard this, he ran away even faster.

He was really too afraid of these people from Xi'an City, they were so fierce!

The Spade Knight and the Clover Knight also realized that Xiao Si was running away too fast and they could not catch up. In anger, the two jumped up high at the same time. The Clover Knight reached out and grabbed Xiao Si. The entire city in front of Si turned into folds like a curtain. This three-dimensional city seemed to turn into a two-dimensional canvas under his hands. He pulled it out with force, along with Xiao Si inside the canvas. , approaching him involuntarily.

The Great Knight of Spades, with a cold expression on his face, fell from the sky, and then punched the ground at his feet.

The next moment, under Xiao Si's feet, the asphalt suddenly melted and turned into a huge flesh-and-blood hand, grabbing at him fiercely from bottom to top.

"Ah yo..."

Xiaosi lost control of his body and was about to be caught by the Great Knight of Spades. His face was extremely pale. He raised the rag doll in his hand high in fear and shouted: "Sister Princess, save me..." "

The moment the rag doll was lifted into the air, a strange phenomenon appeared in Xiaosi's figure.

At this time, the air around him was full of wrinkles, which were caused by being pulled by the clover knight. Under his feet was the flesh and blood that turned into a huge hand, rendering the surrounding environment a bright red color.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled to the side of the two great knights, or caught by the big hands of flesh and blood, no one expected that at this moment, Xiaosi's feet suddenly began to disappear, and that one When the huge flesh-and-blood palm was about to catch his feet, his feet had already disappeared. It was about to catch his legs, and his legs began to disappear. It was about to catch his body. His body and even his head suddenly disappeared strangely. In mid-air, his big flesh-and-blood hand grabbed an empty space. It seemed that Xiaosi no longer existed in this city.

The Great Knight of Spades and the Great Knight of Clover were both stunned, looking at each other. Then they looked back and saw the headless body of Great Knight Yin Qing, slowly falling to the side.

She is dead.

[The Fourth Element of the Hunter Route: Princess Mononoke]

[Element level: A level]

[Ability: Can erase the owner’s traces in reality and hide part or the whole body in real space]

【……】

In Anxi City, Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved after seeing this scene.

He finally understood why Xiaosi became so powerful, and why even he ignored Xiaosi's strength.

He also remembered the fourth element that he told himself to redeem before, and its name was [Princess Mononoke].

This element allows Xiaosi to have a spiritual partner. This partner does not belong to reality and is naturally a creature living in the spiritual ocean. She can help Xiaosi erase the traces of reality, so Xiaosi has such a She has a strong assassination ability, because this princess can even help Xiaosi erase the traces of his preparations for attack and the attack process, and only interacts with reality at the moment when he strikes the opponent. It can be understood that Xiao Si did not exist before the assassination was successful.

And the reason why I ignored it was also very simple.

The power of Princess Mononoke was so strong that it even vaguely affected herself, or people from Black Gate City, and other forces outside Black Gate City.

Xiaosi's existence will be affected from time to time, making people's memories of him shallow.

"Is this the power of the taboo level?"

Xiao Xiao also suddenly realized some deeper problems at this moment.

No wonder some powers are only called strong elements, but some powers are called the fourth element, taboo!

Princess Mononoke's level is not high, just like the Unquenchable Heart, it is only A level.

But both are A-level, but their effect on the stranger himself is immeasurable. This is a special thing that is extremely suitable for him and can make a qualitative change in his power.

Just like Unquenchable Heart, to others, it is just an ordinary A-level, but when it comes to me, it has allowed me to cross a level.

The same is true for Princess Mononoke to Xiao Si.

"With such power, you don't have to worry about Xiao Si..."

Xiao Xiao felt relieved: "It means Xiaosi is timid. If he were braver, he could go back and confront the two knights head-on."

Originally, I thought I would need Yang Jia, or the shepherd, or even the mysterious Lu Yin to solve these three knights. Unexpectedly, I made the problem more complicated.

His eyes flickered, and he saw that the situation had become clearer in several other places.

The red-eyed Ling Ping was fighting with the knights of the City of Rest. He had a good image, elegant posture, and a gentlemanly manner, but he was beaten a little hard. After all, it was a bit too reluctant to face nine knights of the City of Rest alone, but Just when the red-eyed Lingping was about to lose his support, he suddenly heard a loud roar next to him, and the black shadows around him surged up. The nine knights of Xi'an City were forced to retreat, and they looked at the squirming man in disbelief. The black shadow: "Are you crazy? Why do you want to stop us?"

"I made the wrong choice before!"

The owner of the black shadow, Mr. Taylor, who was suffering from fear, was full of annoyance: "Why should I choose to cooperate with your Rest City..."

"Am I crazy?"

"The lunatic president of Black Gate City will definitely come to me. He will definitely kill everyone in our city, kill all my family, and even dance with my wife's body..."

"No, I want to make amends, I want to repair the relationship with Black Gate City..."

"..."

While roaring, he rushed to the red-eyed Ling Ping and begged bitterly: "Now that I regret it, I use the power of the entire city to help, is there still a chance... to obtain that person's forgiveness?"

Ling Ping, who had red eyes, took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's talk about it when he is in a good mood. Maybe we can."

"But, I originally wanted to spend 100,000 points to buy your Nightmare Anchor, but I can't do that now..."

"..."

Mr. Taylor immediately said loudly: "It's okay, no points, I'll give you the Nightmare Anchor for free...is that okay?"

"That's okay..."

A faint smile appeared on Ling Ping's face with red eyes, and he said: "I think if this is the case, not only will Black Gate City forgive you, but they will even give you a boat ticket..."

"Of course, when I get to Black Gate City, don't say it was given away for free, just say I spent 30,000 points to buy it..."

"..."

"Are you crazy?"

The knights of the City of Rest also realized that Mr. Taylor had been tricked for some reason, and they were angry and anxious. They shouted: "The people from Black Gate City will kill your whole family, so won't we in the City of Rest? "

"You are good people..."

Mr. Taylor turned to them angrily and shouted: "How could a good man kill my whole family?"

"Besides, even if you kill my whole family, you still won't dance with my wife's body..."

"..."

After saying this, all the knights in Xi'an City were stunned: "We really won't do this kind of thing..."

For a moment, I felt that Mr. Taylor's worries had some validity...





On the other side, in the city where Lao Zhou was located under the bridge, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Strings of water drops fell from his black top hat, diluting the blood on his hard palms.

And he dragged the snakeskin bag and walked forward step by step. Now, he has killed three knights of the City of Rest, and instead of declining, his strength is getting stronger. The route he takes is similar to that of Black Knights. Everyone else in Mencheng is different. It can be said to be a newly opened scavenger route. Every time he kills someone, he can store a certain ability of the other person in his snakeskin bag, so his strength does not decrease but increases. , faintly becoming the oppression of these people who ambushed him, his voice was cold, as if from hell:

"I don't want to be in the limelight, I just want to keep the ticket that belongs to me."

"And now, completing the test task assigned by the president is the key to determining whether I can get the ticket."

"So, hand over the Eternal Helmsman!"

"Otherwise, I will smash your city into rubbish and then recycle it under the bridge of Black Gate City..."

"..."

"..."

Among the three people in Mali, the most stable ones are the Orochi sisters.

Even if they summoned the three-headed hell dog, their battle was extremely difficult. After all, they were facing ten knights from the City of Rest. Although the three-headed hell dog had completed three stages of strengthening, it was still in the initial stage. After being shocked, they were beaten badly by the knights of Rest City. If it weren't for the fact that there were Orochi sisters and a group of harems next to them, these three guys would probably not be able to withstand it and ran away halfway. However, after they lasted so long, After a long time, the Orochi sisters, who were calculating carefully, finally made the greatest determination:

"You guys, don't underestimate us too much..."

The expressions of the two sisters looked extremely solemn at this time: "I followed the old president from the beginning, survived the Black Gate Fog Incident, and survived to the new president's side..."

"We followed him and experienced the betrayal of the Silver Bullet family, the second attack on Black Gate City by the Hell Organization, and the arrival of the mysterious source, without missing a single moment..."

“Know when it’s easiest to earn points?”

"war!"

"We two sisters have experienced so many wars and have accumulated many, many points, enough..."

"...More than seventeen thousand!"

"..."

They sneered and used scissors and hammer to decide who would stand up. They sneered at the group of knights from the City of Rest who were still fighting hard against the three-headed dogs of hell and clearly had the upper hand:

"That's enough to make a wish!"

"..."

"..."

On the four battlefields, the trends of each side were completely different from what Anxi City expected, which also made the atmosphere in this luxurious and expensive room become gloomy for a time.

Even his swollen belly felt some fright, and he subconsciously stopped his mouth.

She secretly glanced at Mr. An, and saw that this old man, who was the most senior among the strangers and could be regarded as one of the legends, was sitting silently in the Taishi chair, looking extremely tired.

"I didn't expect that at such an old age, I still have to fight with people myself..."

"..."

There was so much helplessness in his voice that even Ruan Ruan felt a little distressed subconsciously when he heard it.

Beside the table, the little knight who had been serving beside him and had never sat down suddenly raised his head, with a look of unbearable color in his eyes.

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it."

Xiao Xiao held the red wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to fight with older people like you. Of course, it's not because I'm afraid of your blackmail. The main reason is to respect the old and love the young!"

Mr. An slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiao, his expression suddenly serious: "President Xiao, I need to admit that your Black Gate City has too many surprises, far beyond my expectations. I am not a reckless person. Man, in fact, after Kuang Juemin died, I secretly went to Heimen City. Firstly, I wanted to mourn this old friend, and secondly, I realized that there would be some troublesome things in Heimen City, so I wanted to send you Heimen in advance. I have explored every detail of the city."

"Recently, your Black Gate City has a very good reputation, but I originally thought that no matter what, it would only last for one year. No matter how strong your strength is, it will be limited."

"But now I need to admit that I did underestimate you."

"But, have you also underestimated the city of Anxi?"

"..."

Facing Mr. An's inquiry, Xiao Xiao was slightly curious: "Which aspect?"

"That's me."

Mr. An slowly said: "I have been sitting in the position of president of Xi'an City for thirty-nine years."

"Even I can't remember clearly the aberration incidents I have dealt with. I have also forgotten how many invasions I helped the city of Anxi, how many times I fought against them, how many cities I destroyed, and how many information cards I returned..."

"President Xiao..."

"..."

His words suddenly changed, and he looked at Xiao Xiao with keen eyes: "Who is the most powerful foreigner you have ever seen?"

"The most powerful..."

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "The one I saw with my own eyes must be Dr. Anti?"

"He came to our Black Gate City before. Although his attitude was very unfriendly, I still treated him to a meal, and then we separated amicably and went our separate ways."

"..."

"Haha, it's him..."

Mr. An laughed hollowly, nodded slightly, and then looked at Xiao Xiao with a deep look: "President Xiao, you are the most outstanding young man in all the cities, including the two organizations Dante and Hell. .”

"But, do you know the power of time?"

"This allows me to accumulate a lot of things, such as having a whole city's museum..."

"..."

Ruanruan raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with surprise. She suspected that she had heard something wrong just now...

Xiao Xiao was also slightly surprised and his eyes fell on Mr. An's face.

The pale old man sighed slowly and stepped on the stage with weak hands. Then, in a study room behind him where the walls were filled with books, a clicking sound suddenly sounded. After a moment, this The study seemed to be moving forward on its own initiative, as if prompted by some mechanism. But after arriving in front of them, the study suddenly split open again, revealing a huge, slender one filled with glass cabinets. , and there are exhibition halls with countless strange things in the glass cabinets.

All the things were piled together so densely, some were dull, some were still moving, and some were crying.

With the emergence of the exhibition hall, huge spiritual power was like an underground kiln opening, and the cold wind pressure surged out, as if the room had turned into a huge ocean.

Luan Ruan's expression suddenly changed, and she almost jumped up, but turned to look at Xiao Xiao and forced herself to sit down.

Xiao Xiao's pupils also dilated slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

He finally understood why Mr. An asked himself such a topic, and why he was still so calm until now.

It would be the same if I changed myself.

Because his study, when opened, is the weapons museum of Xi'an City.

When he was in Black Gate City, Xiao Xiao once saw the weapons museum in Black Gate City. He felt deeply envious, but he also felt the gap between levels.

Now, Mr. An has shown himself a corner of his strength.

He owns the entire city museum, and all the weapons and elements in this museum are all part of his strength.

"Do you know why I have kept the city of Rest in a low profile these years?"

Mr. An looked at Xiao Xiao quietly and said slowly: "Because I have reached the peak of the Stranger. I have reached the limit of the Stranger's ability, and I have maintained it for many years."

"I possess all the enhanced weapons and elements in Rest City, and control the spirit and thinking of everyone here."

"I don't want to fight anyone, because if I attack anyone, I'm bullying them..."

"..."

"..."

Mr. An's voice was low and calm, which represented his absolute calmness, because he believed that what he said was the truth.

Even Xiao Xiao must admit that this is the most powerful foreigner he has ever seen.

So he could only show some regret, shook his head silently, and said: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know that Xi'an City was like this..."

Mr. An had a slight sneer on his face.

Then I heard Xiao Xiao sighing in a low voice. He raised his head and looked into his eyes. From the corner of his eye, he looked past him and looked behind him. The number and level of the exhibits were extremely astonishing. The corners of his mouth slowly appeared and he could no longer control them. The surprise smile:

"If I had known earlier, I would have come to find you long ago..."
