I'm 18 years old, and although I haven't fully entered my peak as a martial artist, I've finally reached my current limit with a lot of hard training. And yet on top of this limit, can I still be three or even five times stronger? This is outrageous in any case, and I can't help but wonder if there is some misunderstanding in it.

It's just that that's what I feel. I thought I was nearing the end of my physical strength, but I didn't want to die in a desperate situation, and I actually found the way ahead in such a place.

Maybe I'm on the verge of going down a path that no one has ever done before. That's what I thought.

But it's too early to have fun. Before I could savor the state of the moment, I involuntarily quit the "turn the pieces into wholes" mode. Obviously, I am still not proficient enough to grasp the "turn parts into wholes" mode, not only can I not guarantee that I can enter every time, but even if I am lucky enough to enter, I will not be able to maintain it for a long time.

Normally it only lasts two or three seconds, and if it's in perfect shape, it lasts five seconds – that's where I'm now.

You can't use it as a training tool.

At this time, Hu Ma came to me, and it seemed that something was wrong, "Mr. Faceling......"

"Sir?"

"Just calling the Facelings doesn't feel respectful enough."

"Just call me the way you did." I said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He nodded solemnly, "That's right, I've discovered a secret - quite an amazing secret!" ”

"You say." I focused.

"It's actually a dream here!" He said it conclusively.

This is the kind of thing you should have noticed from the beginning—the phrase came up my throat, but I quickly gave up criticizing him. He was commendable for being able to discover this for himself. It is inherently difficult for people who have never been trained to find themselves dreaming, no matter how unusual the surroundings are.

"Yes, it's a dream. If nothing else, this is still a dream of the Hell Havoc era, and it is likely that the dream monster is haunting. I said to him.

"Hell Havoc...... No wonder there are so many living dead here. Instead, he was surprised, "Besides, you said that the dream monster ...... Wait, aren't you actually my dream? ”

It turned out that he thought I was a dummy dreamed by him...... But now, I can't even raise the momentum in my heart, I just nod my head and admit it.

"In other words, you're in Rest in reality as well?" He was rather puzzled and said, "Why are you here?" Are you here to hunt down psionic criminals? ”

"Exactly." I accepted the reason he gave me.

"Can I help you?" He asked enthusiastically.

"Aren't you still looking for that young man named Xu Fu?" I said, "Besides, we have to try to get out of this dream first." ”

"Of course, after escaping with Xu Fu." He nodded repeatedly, "I've wanted to punish criminals with you for a long time, although it is particularly inappropriate as a police officer, but ...... I really want to act with you to save those good citizens from those evil criminals......"

He exuded longing, "I often even imagine how nice it would be if I were your partner......

"It's still free." I interrupted him.

Hearing this, his canine ears drooped in frustration.

"I'm pretty much rested." I turned and left, "It's time to go." ”

Whether it's trying to get out of the dream or helping him "find Xu Fu", you must start by investigating the surrounding area.

He nodded, and wanted to leave the messy grocery store with me. At this moment, his whole body suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes were firmly fixed somewhere.

I was always on my toes, and when I saw that he suddenly had something unusual, I immediately stopped my progress and reflexively cast my gaze on the place he was looking—the corner of the grocery store, and a coin had fallen from the ground.

A faint red glow looms on the surface of the coin, which stands out in the dark. I didn't immediately realize what was going on and what this weird coin meant, and I just thought I should get away from this unknown thing as soon as possible. Precious time passed like this, and just like that, a second passed.

But fortunately, in the next second, I finally understood with my own knowledge why this coin glowed red, and this wasted second was precious, but it did not produce bitter fruit.

I jerked the flax to the ground.

He was forced to look away from the coin, and finally came out of his immobile state like a plaster statue.

I pulled him up from the ground and ran without saying a word.

We ran a long distance, attracting the living dead along the way, but all managed to get rid of them. After stopping in the secluded spot, I let out a sigh of relief, and he was confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on, "What happened just now?" When I saw the coin, I suddenly couldn't move or think, I just stared at the coin......"

"That's not a coin." I was also a little scared, "That's probably a 'three-second shadow'." ”

"What's that?" He wondered.

"It's an undead spirit that can disguise itself as a common item." I explained, "Even the most powerful psionic person who sees it will immediately fall into a situation where they cannot move or think, and if they look at it for more than three seconds, they will die three days ago. ”

"Wait, died three days ago?" He was stunned, "Didn't you die three days later?" ”

"It was three days ago." I said, "It's you who was killed, and you're going to be dead for three days, and the timeline will be rearranged because of this." If it weren't for a fairly high-level psychic medium, it would not even be possible to realize that 'now' has been changed. ”

"Can even the past change?" He was dumbfounded and said, "Well, isn't it?" It's so easy to meet such a powerful undead......"

"Of course our luck wasn't that bad." I said, "It's just that the ghosts of the undead are everywhere in the Havoc of Hell." ”

"There are ...... everywhere," he seemed to be unable to think.

"Reversing time and space, manipulating cause and effect, tampering with logic, and even shaking some fundamental rules that are not yet known to humanity but which are essential to the universe...... These are all abilities common to the undead in the Havoc of Hell. "Unlike the undead who inhabit the surface world, those that come from the depths of the earth's crust, even from the mantle, are likely to possess some incomprehensible qualities, even if they may seem weak." ”

The most terrifying of them is undoubtedly the "Doomsday Deity".

If the undead born in the surface world are "monsters", then the undead from the depths of the earth's crust and mantle are the "ghosts" in horror stories.

Although the former also generally has the ability to be immortal and regenerate at high speed, it can manage to destroy it no matter what, while the latter is simply inexplicable. In the case of the three-second shadow just now, the coin I saw may not even be its own body, but probably just a shadow of its ontology in a higher dimension to the three-dimensional world.

The most scalp-numbing thing (and the most puzzling thing is why humanity has not been completely extinct in this era) is that the number of such inexplicable undead in the Hell Havoc era is far greater than that of humans, and they are constantly emerging from the ground, and only a few of them have been discovered.

"But isn't this a dream? The three-second shadow just now can't really change the past and kill us...... right" he said cautiously, "And when you saw it, didn't you also miss it?" ”

"Even if this kind of undead is painted with ordinary paint, it is possible to be strangely reborn from the painting, let alone a dream?" I shook my head, "As for me, the only reason why I didn't get hit was because Shadow of Three Seconds has a rule that only targets one person at a time. If you or I encounter it alone, it's certain death. ”

He fell into a long silence, as if at last realizing what a dangerous predicament he was in. But after a while, he suddenly said, "You must find Xu Fu as soon as possible." ”

"What?"

"He must be scared right now." He said categorically, "I must get him out of here as soon as possible!" ”

"But you can't even protect yourself." I say.

He shook his head vigorously.

Just as he was about to say something, his canine ears suddenly stood up, "Someone! ”

"Where?" I asked alarmedly.

"Not here." "It's not far from here, it should be two ......or three streets away," he said.

The more he said, the less confident he became, "Maybe it's my delusion?" ”

"Is this the message you got out of inspiration?" I asked.

"Probably...... But I'm not very inspired either......" he whispered.

"Let's take a look." I said, "Maybe it's the Xu Fu you're looking for." ”

Of course, this is not my sincere words, I just want to find a clue out of this dream. The "sudden man" may have something to do with it. At the same time, I didn't forget to be vigilant, because it was also possible that the undead were releasing some kind of message that could mislead the inspiration.

We moved over there.

A moment later, we saw the people over there.

"People", to be exact.

There were three of them, all dressed in different clothes, but all wearing helmets and gloves, knee pads and elbow pads, and all covering their skin with long sleeves and trousers, carrying huge backpacks and looking like survivors of the apocalypse. They were moving forward rather cautiously, as if at any moment a bloody jaw would burst out of the shadows and bite them all up.

Hu Ma hid around the corner and whispered, "Xu Fu doesn't seem to be over there." ”

Because Xu Fu is right next to you. I thought to myself as I said, "Let's wait and see." ”

"Hmm." He obediently complied.

Unexpectedly, only ten seconds passed, and the three people over there noticed us. The leader gestured, the other two stopped, and then the leader shouted to this side, "Who's there?" ”

It seems that we are really noticed, not bluffed. The leader continued, "I am a psyker with a special skill in detection. You're alive, aren't you? Everyone is a survivor, so there's no need to hide. Please come out. ”

"Are we going out?" Huma asked me tentatively.

At this point, there is no need to continue hiding. I walked out with him. The leader looked at us, and focused on the flax in strange costumes, and said, "Haven't you seen a face, you are from outside the town?" ”

"That's right." I say.

"We found some charred living dead on another street, and that's what you did?" He asked.

Hu Ma hesitated slightly, looking at me. I nodded at him. He turned to the leader and said, "It's me." ”

"With all due respect, for the sake of the security of our side, I must ask one more question. I hope you don't lie, I have a way to detect lies. The leader asked solemnly, "Are you Zoroastrians?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two people around him were visibly more vigilant, as if people in the real world had encountered withered believers.
