Chapter 867: Who's the Prey?
Take out a scroll, put the Lingering Stone in the middle, Lin An input the magic power, and the sound and light images stored in the Lingering Stone began to be broadcast.
It was an image with a snowy mountain forest as the background, when a white-haired young man with a warm lake like a quiet lake appeared in the fan-shaped light and shadow, the faces of the five masters changed slightly, and the spiritual power in the hall was turbulent, causing the magic runes on the surrounding walls to be colorful.
Lin An didn't seem to notice any movement, and the input of mana was still stable.
[......" "Isn't it you who gave the undead transformation circle to the demons?" βγ
"Yes. βγ
["Did you design the glacier to collapse?" βγ
"Yes. βγ
["Did you spread the plague that appeared in Atlanta? βγ
"Yes. βγ
β¦β¦
The image came to an end.
Lin An withdrew his hand, and the discarded scroll and the shadow stone were still in place.
Her calm gaze swept over, and the five masters had already recovered from the shock of this content, all of them were expressionless, and they couldn't see their inner feelings, but Bolun was a little lacking in cultivation, and his face was tense and his eyes flashed, showing that his heart was definitely not at peace with the surging magma.
The five masters looked at each other for a few moments, and Master Helen Fat spoke up as a representative, "Master Lin, if you don't mind, we would like to check this Lingering Stone." β
"Please." As expected, Lin An took a step back.
The Lingering Stone and the scrapped scroll rotated in the hands of several masters, and after a brief eye contact, the Lingering Stone and the scrapped scroll returned to Master Helenfate.
"You don't mind keeping it in our hands." Master Helenfat was referring to the Shadow Stone.
"Of course, feel free to dispose of it."
"I'm sorry, it's a big deal, so I have to be cautious."
After apologizing politely, Master Helenfat's face was much more stern, although the other four masters behind him were not angry, the spiritual power in the hall was obviously heavy and condensed, and he only heard Master Helen Fatt say, "But please forgive us for being abrupt, I still need to ask you a few questions here." β
"You and the new oracle of the Holy See, are you old acquaintances?" On the word "old knowledge", he bites the accent.
"Friend or foe." Lin An said, "To be specific, it's a long story, when we first met, he disguised his identity. β
Master Helenfat nodded, "Although it wasn't recorded by the Lingering Stone, if I heard it wrong, the questioner in the video is you?" β
"It's me."
"So, can you tell us the specific time when the image happened?"
"The day before I signed my second contract with Chamberlain, my whereabouts were found by him," Lin An frowned slightly, and from beginning to end, she looked directly at Master Helen Fate, "I haven't figured out the reason for how he found me." β
These old foxes are really difficult to coax, a few questions seem simple, and they do not involve sensitive content and her bottom line, but they are enough to indirectly get a lot of information.
After Lin An finished speaking, Master Helen Fate's eyes were slightly solemn and he stopped asking.
Several masters exchanged glances with each other, Lin An had already sensed the fluctuation of magic power, knew that they were conducting telepathy, and didn't care, looking at the rapid changes in the faces of Master Syndiera and Master Binns, it seemed that the argument was more intense, and he was angry.
Soon, they calmed down and seemed to have come to an end.
This time it was the only female master who spoke out, Master Cindy Rila, "Helen Fate, who told us that you need our full help, what is the matter?" β
Lin An knew that the matter had been successful seventy percent, she showed a faint smile and said softly:
"I made an appointment with the Divine Envoy to meet him in two days' time, on the first of January, when the Divine Descendant and the Magic Calendar coincided, at the Fountain Square in the heart of Atlantis. So, my request is ......"
β¦β¦
The two days passed like a white horse crossing the gap.
When a projectile of light shot out from the spiral tower in front of Atlantis' Central Fountain Square, the sky rained down countless white filamentous rains.
Accompanied by "...... Seeking the truth, looking at the universe, we are the beloved children of the Muse, the children of magic...... The future is in my hands, wandering in the arms of magic...... Pray for a bright and happy future", countless cheers rang out from every corner of Atlantis!
The civilians of Atlantis, whose skies are clouded by plague and bad news, pray that in the new year, Atlanta will be reborn and rebuilt in the darkness!
After the national anthem stopped, they collectively paused for a quarter of an hour in silence in memory of their compatriots who died in the plague.
Then the singing and cheering rang out again, and men, women, and children aloud their voices to pray for themselves and their fellow citizens, like countless rain of light falling from the sky, washing away the bad luck of all.
The young man supported the elderly, the husband and wife held the children, and the immature, old, vigorous, high-pitched, and agitated singing resonated...... In the flash of tears, thousands of voices with different tones gathered together and floated over Atlantis.
At the same time, next to the fountain pool, which is a mile in diameter in the middle of the central fountain square, next to a half-naked sculpture of the goddess of the clear spring.
Lin An slowly turned around and looked at the white-robed young man who appeared in the crowd four or five feet away.
"You're here."
Two feet apart, but there were at least seventy or eighty people between them, and Lin An looked at each other for a moment, focusing like a girl looking at her beloved, her lips moving slightly.
"I'm coming." Angus lip puffed up.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Lin An smiled from afar, and his beautiful face was like the moonlight breaking through the clouds, which made people's hearts flutter, and in an instant, it disappeared in an instant like spring snow that met the sun.
"Do it."
From nowhere, a low command sounded.
At the same time as the words fell, the people in the square were still singing loudly one moment ago, leaning together with their arms and shoulders, and the next moment they had already taken out their shining weapons, and one by one the demons were condensed in their hands-
Far from being the most terrifying, the loving old man, the immature boy, the pregnant woman, and the strong man closest to Angus all incarnated as dead men, arms stretched out from all sides to the target, hugging the young oracle like hugging the deepest lover!
At the same time, at least seven or eight pairs of arms imprisoned them from head to toe, like tentacles of octopuses, binding the young oracle so tightly that even the most cruel punishment ever inflicted on them would not let them let go of a finger!
This scene looked ridiculous and terrifying, and the joyful atmosphere took a turn for the worse in an instant, and countless civilians turned into death in an instant, which was enough to make anyone look sideways.
However, Lin An, who was seven feet away from Angus, didn't look at it, and retreated without hesitation, and the dense crowd behind her automatically left a gap, and she fell into the sea like a drop of water, disappearing in an instant.
Behind her, the white light suddenly lit up, like a scorching sun leaping out of here, and nothing could be seen in the light, not even the low screams were annihilated in it!
His gaze moved to the front of the square, on the high spiral tower, two black robes stood side by side, and Chamberlain followed the two of them.
The wind blew the corners of the black robes, and Master Helenfat lowered his eyes and looked down, and the white light lit up in the middle of the square as dense as a fishpond.
Master Haier, whose hair color is half black and half golden, said in a deep voice:
ββ¦β¦ No matter how strong a fighter is, he can guard against the sharpest swords and the most destructive spells, however, in the face of so many people of the same kind who would rather die than die with him, as long as there is a trace of humanity, he should also have a trace of sluggishness and consternation, and when he fights back against the weak pregnant woman and the immature child, he will be slow for a momentββ"
"Obviously, our target tonight doesn't have such normal humanity." Master Helenfate's eyes were full of golden light, and he seemed to be able to see what was happening in the middle of the scorching white light, "If I still had a trace of doubt about that Shadow Stone before, now, this doubt has been eliminated by nearly ninety percent. β
"But I don't understand," said Bren, who was behind the two masters, "that oracle only came alone, and could have let your Excellency strike together, or set an impregnable trap to trap the target, why did Master Lin abandon the more efficient method and use it in this way...... Sacrifice human life. β
"If it's an absolute trap, do you think he'll step in?" Master Haier said.
"If he steps in, it means that the so-called absolute trap is not absolute for him - magic has no end, I have never told you that there is magic in this world that cannot be broken, this point, the little girl with black hair has understood, but you who have been taught by me for twenty years still do not seem to understand."
Master Helenfate's words made Burren realize and be ashamed, but the two masters in front of him did not pay attention to his feelings, but still paid attention to the situation below the square for a moment, and they exchanged words in a low voice:
"Knowing that it is a trap, but it can make the prey enter the trap willingly, and if you can't get in love, there must be sweet bait."
"We didn't understand why she did this before, but now it seems that the one who is the hunter has already understood."
In their eyes, Lin An, who was dressed in a silver-purple robe, disappeared into the crowd, and then his body distorted, and his conspicuous robe and eye-catching appearance turned into the most ordinary passerby girl, wearing the blue cloth long skirt that was most often worn by ordinary girls in Atlantis.
What changed at the same time as her was more than a dozen men and women near her, the disguise technique transformed their appearance, no one became Lin An, and only became a girl similar to Lin An after the disguise, fifteen or sixteen people were mixed together, and in a wrong eye, even the two masters who were bystanders couldn't tell which one Lin An was.
Sixteen or seventeen civilian girls with similar faces squeezed into the crowd and scattered in different directions!
No one knew which direction Lin An was heading, because she hadn't even informed her of a few major events in advance!
Lin An, who was mixed in with the flow of people, glanced back, her eyes without magic could not see through the situation inside the semi-circular light mask, but her intuition told her very clearly:
Angus is alive and unscathed.
ββThis game of hunting and anti-hunting is far from over!
ββ¦β¦ Who is the prey? Who is the Hunter? β
In the crowd, Lin An whispered.
The soft groan blended into the human voice, and in this square where everyone was incarnated as a god of death, the net of heaven and earth had been laid, and a pair of bright black eyes blended in, staring coldly at the fateful opponent.
