Zhou Jinru flipped his wrist, sheathed his swords, and turned to look at the open door. When he turned around, he only had time to see the Sakaz man disappear.
"Am I here early, or am I late?"
No one answered his question, and the human figure behind him also disappeared.
Ming Yuexin suddenly said: "The data flow at the Temple of Reason has returned to normal levels, and the blockade has been lifted."
"Remark Adela's location. I want a panoramic map of this church."
Zhou Jinru reached out and pressed his helmet, stepped on the red carpet, and walked up the stairs step by step, his surging breath gradually calming down.
Although it was only a brief glimpse, he definitely did not admit it wrong. The Sakaz man who opened the door of the chapel was the regent. There was no doubt that the other party also saw him.
The news that the regent had left Londinium was just a smoke bomb. However, the regent appeared alone in the Temple of Reason. Based on Zhou Jinru's understanding of him, this person would never do anything aimless.
"The regent's goal is the same as that woman's?"
Ming Yuexin hesitated and said: "Doctor, do you remember what I said, the Temple of Reason is in a closed state, but he can expel a person in the chapel. If he is in a state like me, he must have mastered the bridge, or He said that there are people similar to me around him, and the same goes for that woman."
Zhou Jinru stopped moving forward, his eyes dim. After a long time, he looked at the location marked on the map and said softly: "Ming Yuexin, we, or this melodrama, or even the entire dream, are in another place." The world, right? Another land?"
Ming Yuexin said with difficulty: "Yes, but not entirely."
"I've been back and forth many times. Dreams are not a big secret to me."
Zhou Jinru punched the closed door with a dull sound. He punched a deep hole in the beautifully carved door. The fragile door lock burst. Unable to withstand the terrible force, the door suddenly opened and hit the wall. It bounced back again.
He seemed to be talking to himself: "You see, I have power in my hands. Power is not only used for self-protection, but can also be used for offense more often."
"yes."
"Let's end this charade."
He lost his patience, kicked his legs hard on the ground, leaned forward, and hit the entire wall in front of him. With a bang, a big hole was knocked out of the masonry wall, and smoke and dust flew everywhere, alarming a group of people wearing red military uniforms. soldiers.
"Surrender immediately!"
"There are enemies!"
"Request support quickly!"
The soldiers exploded the nest at once, and several soldiers who were close rushed up with weapons raised, slashing at the weirdo who suddenly broke through the wall with their sharp blades.
when!
The monster raised his arms, and the blade fell on his body without any effect. His body was as hard as a stone, and even the blade was chipped.
Zhou Jinru kept moving, holding the two sabers while lunging forward, grabbing the clothes of a soldier in front of him with both hands, tensing his muscles, lifting him up and throwing him out.
"Hey!"
A particularly strong soldier beside him raised his ax with both hands and struck at him, but Zhou Jinru ducked past him and the ax suddenly hit the floor.
Zhou Jinru stepped on the ax that the strong soldier was trying to pull out, slapped his temples with both palms, and the huge body fell softly.
Clang!
He pulled out the two knives hanging from his waist and held two shining sharp blades in his hands. The soldiers surrounding him stared at the monster nervously, and some even started to run away.
"Doctor, hurry up, the participants have started to log in, something seems wrong!"
Without saying a word, Zhou Jinru tried his best to amplify the fear hanging over the soldiers, causing them to retreat step by step, or even turn around and run away.
First the first person ran away, then the second, then the third, and then even the two soldiers who had attacked Zhou Jinru before ran away backwards with trembling hands.
"the last one."
Zhou Jinru let out a long breath, turned around and knocked on the door. There was no response, but the marking point of Adela's location was at the door.
He went to twist the doorknob, but at this moment, the door opened, and a long sword stained with blood stretched out. Adela, half of her face stained with blood, had cold eyes and an evil aura all over her body. It was the aura she had just after killing someone. , breathtaking.
"it's me."
Zhou Jinru took off his helmet and revealed his face. Adela raised her eyebrows: "How to prove it?"
He didn't know how to answer for a moment: "How do you want me to prove it?"
"Put down your weapons, come in, come in slowly."
Zhou Jinru put the two swords back into their scabbards, slowly placed his helmet on the ground, raised his hands, and walked into the room as Adela slowly backed away.
This is a room similar to a study. The wooden desk fell to the ground, books and papers were scattered all over the floor, and there were even some unburned shredded papers in the fireplace.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are several people lying around in this study room, and weapons are scattered all over the floor. It seems that they had a firefight in the end, and only one person survived, that is, Adela.
"Adela, what happened?"
Adela was unmoved: "Bring in your helmet first."
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to go back to pick up the helmet. He secretly observed Adela and felt that she was very different from before. She was not like Isabella. She seemed to have become another person.
When he returned to the room, Adela lowered her sword and said calmly: "Come in and close the door."
"What happened?"
The sullen Adela looked at the middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood not far away. The fingers of her right hand unconsciously pressed on a ring on her index finger and said briefly: "There is a traitor in the faction, and we are trapped." There was internal strife while here and everyone died, including my mentor Wasim, whose body is there.”
Zhou Jinru looked in the direction Adela pointed. The person lying on his back in a pool of blood was Wasim, but he was now a corpse.
"you……"
"Leave here first, and then I'll find a chance to explain to you."
Adela lowered her head. Her long hair had been shortened at some point. Her shoulders shook twice and her voice was hoarse: "Are you still willing to believe me now?"
"I wouldn't be standing here if I didn't believe you."
"That's good."
Adela turned around, looked into Zhou Jinru's eyes, and walked towards him step by step: "If you don't want to believe me, just leave me and don't tell me, or kill me with a knife from behind and don't let me know."
Zhou Jinru nodded: "Okay."
He found something starting to get hot in his jacket pocket, and quickly took it out. On his ID card, he saw that his identity was no longer an important supporting role. Even the outlaw, mist hunter, and valet had disappeared. A large golden character occupies the entire card.
Protagonist.
Adela's expression was quite complicated. She rubbed her forehead, looked away from the card in Zhou Jinru's hand, and said softly: "It's almost impossible for us to leave here. Maybe I will die, maybe you will die, Maybe we'll all die here."
Zhou Jinru looked at Adela's back and felt that the heroine was no longer the reckless Adela. There was a strange color about her body.
"Because this is the Temple of Reason?"
Adela shook her head: "Because we are the hero and heroine."
"?!"
The heroine in the sitcom broke the fourth wall. She actually knew that she was the heroine and could even see the ID card in Zhou Jinru's hand!
She extended her right hand to Zhou Jinru: "This is not the first time. Let's get to know Adela Dawson again. She comes from... a distant place."
Zhou Jinru shook his hand briefly and then let go: "We still have a little time, don't you want to introduce yourself more?"
"What do you want to know, my story?"
Adela folded her arms and stood like a warrior ready for battle. Even Zhou Jinru was ashamed.
She smiled faintly: "I said, I come from a far away place. If I hadn't agreed to help someone, well, my sister, I should still be sleeping underground in the Principality of Luxembourg."
Luxembourg!
This is a place name that is familiar to Zhou Jinru. It is different from the world of Terra and comes from the world he knows!
"Let's go, this is no place for storytelling."
…
…
"If we try to parse the world, it's a proven fact that the world is not static."
The Sakaz man walked forward step by step. Where he walked, darkness was replaced by light, and characters flashed on the large electronic screen.
"Time nodes. So far, we have discovered a total of seven important time nodes, three of which are important scenes and the other four are important characters."
The Sakaz man stopped. On the screen in front of him, four grids appeared, with a text in each grid.
deer.
Wolf.
eagle.
Bear.
The deer grid is enlarged, and a photo of a character appears on the large electronic screen.
"Alina, an important figure. It has been determined that she is a deer. She is currently missing. Her life and death are unknown. We have sent agents four times to carry out targeted assassinations. All eleven agents were killed. She last appeared in the Usas Snowfield. Disappeared thereafter.”
Next came the wolf.
"Mrs. Sicily has obtained blood samples from Texas and Lapland. The collector is Bai Yuan, the adopted son of Liboli. It has been confirmed that they are not important nodes. There are eleven other candidates who are..."
eagle……
Bear……
None of the four targets could be confirmed. After the introduction, the screen dimmed and another photo emerged.
"Isabella, whose full name is Isabella William, her appearance was an accident. Letania's melodrama was just a test stone organized by the organization behind her. They have been trying to restore history, and suspected existence A defender.”
The Sakaz man looked at all the information he had received so far and said calmly: "Compile the files of all suspected defenders and promote Zhou's file to the top."
A dialog box pops up on the electronic screen: "Completed, do you want to view it now?"
"yes."
A row of photos of people appeared. The first one was Zhou Jinru, followed by the emperor of Penguin Logistics, the Duck Lord of Colombia, a bird with blue feathers... The last one was a man wearing a black coat. Man with rim glasses.
The Sakaz man stared at the last photo for a long time, and then he said: "Put Isabella and the organization behind her under Zhang Taiyue."
After doing everything, he felt a little tired, turned around and walked to the nearest chair, sat down silently, his palm always pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The left hand that had been clenched into a fist was released, and a milky-white dice lay in the palm.
A woman in a crimson coat emerged from the shadows. She was still holding the ancient book and had scars on her face.
"You finally came."
The first words spoken by the Sakaz man made the woman's face change. He held the dice tightly, stood up, and said with stern eyes: "Veronica, did your master tell you that using any abnormal items requires Pay the price?!"
"What did you say?!"
"You want to ask me why I knew you were coming?"
The tall Sakaz man laughed: "Hahaha, because this dice and that rule book were originally contained abnormal items. After they are separated, they will guide the holders to keep getting closer to each other until they are reunited. Become one.”
Veronica opened her mouth, and the ancient book in her hand suddenly opened the pages uncontrollably, and lines of text appeared on the new page, but for some reason, these words became blurred and gradually disappeared.
The Sarkazi's majestic voice echoed in the empty room: "The books should be closed."
Snapped.
Ancient books were forced to be closed.
The restless dice in the Sarkazi's hands calmed down.
Veronica took a step back and said unconsciously: "His Origin Stone skill is the law!"
The Sakaz looked at her condescendingly: "You should surrender!"
Veronica's teeth chattered up and down. Not only that, but her legs began to feel weak, and the urge to lie on the ground kept coming to her mind.
She underestimated the power of Lord Sakaz. The Sakaz people who are extremely good at Origin Stone skills can exert their power to 200%, and they cannot sustain it for long with willpower alone.
"Prince Regent, you were among the three important scenes that you didn't show, right?"
A disembodied voice came. With the appearance of this voice, Veronica felt much better, and the pain of her heart being clenched eased.
The Sakazian frowned slightly: "If you use her as a carrier, are you not afraid of being wanted by the notary office?"
"Ha, I'm also a high councilor anyway, so what if I hunt? I'm not that idiot like Ferdinand. I don't even know how he died. Since our target is both Isabella, why not hunt her together? Can we cooperate? ?”
"I never cooperate with you damn things."
"Okay, let's not talk about cooperation, how about let us do our own thing and try not to interfere with each other's goals?"
The Sakaz man's heart moved, and his face suddenly became ugly. His heart was moved, and at the moment when his heart was moved, he received a big shock.
"Leitanian, you are Leitanian!"
His low growl went unanswered.
A drop of bright red blood slipped from the corner of his mouth.
