Section 59 Dilemma
The woman's eyes widened in despair, and her body twitched with death. Her lower body was incontinent, and a stench instantly filled the air.
Her lungs instinctively struggled to get more air in. Yet some force, some powerful force that she could not resist, forcibly sealed her lungs. She couldn't breathe in a breath of air.
She didn't know what was going on, it was just a very ordinary night, a very ordinary night run. But he didn't expect to meet gangsters, let alone encounter gangsters who killed people.
Her brain was confused by the lack of oxygen, and she instinctively danced towards the front of her, trying to break free from the arm that bound her neck and restrained her breathing. But these arms don't actually exist. What was holding her throat was not something tangible, but something that the humans of Earth had never been exposed to and could not understand.
Her struggle before dying lasted almost a few minutes. Then, as in all cases, as the lack of oxygen in her brain intensified, her body slowly lost the strength to struggle. Eventually, she lay motionless on the ground, reduced to a lifeless solid.
Zhu Hua stood on the side, or rather stood in a position farthest from the deceased. The night hid her frowning brow. None of the others noticed her, just waiting here for a little time to confirm that the other was dead.
Yes, man is a very tenacious creature at times. Even on Earth, there have been cases of drowning people being revived after a long period of breathing interruption – long enough to be desperate. If you want to kill someone this way, it's best to wait a little longer to see if it works.
Five or six pairs of eyes stared at the victim, looking at them from different angles, to make sure that the prey would die. The air was filled with the remnants of relentless magic.
Yes, there are not only Wang Dayong alone, but five or six people here. Every other day, or whenever the energy of that gem was restored, a warlock was sent to Earth. Now, including Zhu Hua himself, there are a total of seven people. Of the six warlocks, four were men and two were women.
But none of them were smart—not even one.
However, a few others are at least better than Wang Dayong. is similar to Wang Dayong, who can't even tell the strength of others, in Zhu Hua's opinion, there is no difference between a little bug on the side of the road. In the past, it could only be used as cannon fodder, but now it has a greater role and can be "devoured". Of course, the others are more or less stronger, for example, the one who leads among them, the one now called Zhang Le.
Warlocks are usually reluctant to share their names with others. Or it can be understood from another angle, they are used to giving themselves different names in different places. From a magical point of view, this would be an effective way to reduce the effect of the Second Law - of course how much it can be reduced is another question - after all, it would be unlucky to be cursed by a warlock from another faction from a long distance.
Before, Zhu Hua felt that Wang Dayong's stupidity was unique - perhaps the higher-ups felt that such a dangerous mission was not worth the risk of excellent personnel, so they found some idiots to be cannon fodder.
Truth be told, she's always thought that idiots were the most dangerous of the Pig teammates in the past (if you really accepted them as teammates instead of being cannon fodder, exploited or something), but it turns out that there are Pig teammates in the world who are worse than Fools, and that's half-understood.
Ignorance is more dangerous than ignorance.
Zhang Le's stupidity lies in the fact that he can guess half of it, but he can't guess the other half. He deduced that there should be some kind of supernatural ability in this world, and also speculated that the superpowers in this world hid their existence for some reason. Even the superpowers of this world (who are of course the ones behind it) may have made some kind of agreement with the Radiant Moon Warlocks. But in terms of how to break this barrier and reach out to the superpowers of this world, the strategy he chooses is to kill.
Kill some of the "more important" people in the superficial society, and shake the whole society with continuous death, so as to force those with supernatural abilities to appear.
If a lot of people died, so much that everyone knew that it was not normal and unnatural, then of course it would attract attention, and the real ruler who was hiding in the shadows would have to show up, wouldn't it?
Stupid to the point where you can't say anything.
No matter what the world, what race, what society, killing innocent people is a crime. Zhu Hua didn't think that after doing this kind of thing, he could still reach an agreement with the controller of the human race on the earth or anything. You know, if she was in a hostile or even warring state, she didn't think that such a few warlocks could do anything at all.
The world has a population of "100 million". Not to mention people, even the tiniest and harmless insects, such as ants, will become very terrifying after the number of 100,000. The city where they live is a few million people. Not to mention fighting, even if they stand there and kill you, a small group of them can only kill an insignificant proportion when they exhaust all their magic power and even die of exhaustion.
A few people face the forces of a whole civilized society. Not to mention these mid- and low-level warlocks, even the most powerful First Law Warlocks had to tremble in the face of this balance of power, carefully hiding their existence. The first point of surviving in another world is to hide yourself.
"It's dead. Someone said.
"Definitely dead. Others agreed.
It was the first time they had killed here, and the first time they had tested it in the true sense of the word. After repeated confirmation, the warlocks have understood one thing, it is not that the humans in this world have special resistance to magic, but because within the laws of this world, magic will be weakened to a certain extent.
However, weakened to weakened, the power of the warlocks is still far above that of the natives. There is such a huge difference in power between the two sides that a little reduction or increase will not make a difference.
Zhu Hua stopped and looked at the dead woman on the ground, his black eyes full of indescribable pity. The deceased had a gentle and harmless face, and was chosen only because she had been seen by the Warlocks on the TV show last night. She clutched her hands to her throat, but to no avail. The magic from the Seventh Law forcibly paralyzed her respiratory nerve centers, suffocating her to death.
The magic of the Seventh Law is not only hypnotic, but also kills people directly in one-on-one situations with plenty of time to maneuver.
What's next?
In the evening, Zhu Hua turned on the computer network again. Warlocks have a huge advantage over ordinary people, and that is that their brains can work at high speeds under the influence of magic. If you want to describe it, it can be said to be a kind of "self-time acceleration". Of course, this is a harmless acceleration that does not affect lifespan other than consuming mana. With this ability as a foundation, during this time, she is like a housegirl with a wide range of hobbies and good use of Du Niang, and she has been enhancing her understanding of the world every day. At this moment, she could well say that she knew much more about Earth than her companions.
In fact, all of her companions are immersed in the pleasures of being free to do whatever they want in this world. As a lower-class member of the Warlock class, this kind of experience is not very much. Bullying and hurting others as you like is a supreme joy that is simply indescribable for some people.
Her "companions" had not yet grasped the true meaning of the matter. Or rather, they were so caught up in the pleasure that they forgot that their real mission here was to figure out what the Radiant Moon Warlocks were trying to do. And if you want to successfully complete this task, you must make secrecy a prerequisite.
If the Moon Warlock is discovered by the Moon Warlock at the same time, then the people above will naturally be okay (they are separated by a whole world, and of course they are safe and sound), but I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape...... Ah, no, there's a guy to run away with. That is Zhang Le, who now holds the gem. At a critical moment, he may be able to use the power of the gem to escape through time and space, and the others will probably only be able to face the joint encirclement and suppression of the Radiant Moon Warlock and the humans of this world, and even the most optimistic people will not feel that they will have such a chance.
Fortunately, there are also many people in this world who are very curious and interested in the supernatural. As a result, there are supernatural forums on the Internet - even if it is not a forum focusing on supernatural topics, a supernatural event will still attract everyone's attention.
The only trouble is that people in this world seem to be too keen on fakes.
She had found at least a hundred credible myths about the paranormal on the Internet. This is not the kind of serious search, let alone the past. Some of the evidence was so conclusive that even the video was filmed. It stands to reason that this should be indisputable, but she soon discovered that there were too many fakes.
It may be human nature to lie or something, and every warlock in the Stygian camp is used to lies. However, the warlocks all know that the key is not whether to tell the truth or lie, but whether there is any benefit. Both lies and truths are driven by profit. If it is a matter that has nothing to do with self-interest and beliefs, even the most accustomed warlocks can be trusted. Logically it should be, isn't it?
But here, thanks to the world's video production technology, she quickly understands that everything is unbelievable. Human life in this world is so comfortable that they do things that are completely incomprehensible to warlocks. After Zhu Hua found the initial evidence, she felt a little incredible: the supernatural abilities in this world had left so many traces so simply, but after she looked at it in person, she found that it was completely fake. Yes, by modifying and editing, the fake can be simulated just like the real thing - and of course it is just a simulation. Now she has enough experience to see through these forgeries.
The others didn't care about her anymore. After all, they have all passed the most dangerous first stage. I got the identity of the world, and learned about the general situation of the world, social rules, language, and other key information. They naturally feel that they are the protagonists of the next mission.
Everyone knew that Zhu Hua was a ranger, a low-level warlock who was tricked into being pathfinder cannon fodder without knowing it. And the Rangers, as all Stygian Warlocks know, are known as elite, but in fact they are not a promising choice. Everyone knew that these Warlocks would be put in a bunch of mental shackles to prevent them from defecting and revealing the mysteries of the Rangers. Of course, people with a little bit of ambition and ambition would not allow this kind of thing to happen. That's why Wang Dayong is obviously only a low-level seventh law warlock, but he can show disdain for her.
Zhu Hua has no complaints about this. In fact, she was happy to be ignored. She had found another reliable clue today, and time was running out, and she could have believed that the Radiant Moon Warlocks were racing against time to carry out their secret plan.
