I was defeated

As the dials on the twelve clocks began to slowly turn, Yu Siqi and Xie Baozhen also found that the time they were currently in had also begun to change accordingly.

The most obvious thing is the weather, the sky that had been raining all the time suddenly began to clear, and there was a faint hint of an unnatural heat.

It's as if they're back in the summer.

Then, all the clocks standing on the ground followed the old man's finger and flew into the blue sky.

When all of them floated at a fixed height, one dark light after another burst out of the dial, weaving a cobweb-like area with the other rays.

Then, under the slightly curious gaze of Yu Siqi.

The blue sky officially cracked, and countless dark red liquids gushed out from the unbroken cracks, forming a small rainfall.

However, the so-called 'rain' did not drip to the ground, but was caught by the cobwebs one by one.

Then, before this small 'rain' was completely over.

From the artificially torn crack slid out a mass of oval-shaped creatures stained with strange liquid.

I saw that its fat and bloated body fell straight on the so-called 'cobweb'. And under the gaze of the crowd, and the minute hands and clocks that flew out of the twelve clocks, they formed an arthropod that closely resembled the 'spider'.

"What a unique summoning ritual. I just don't know, with such a big deal of money, have you applied for relevant permits in advance? ”

Albert somewhere got himself a chair and sat on it and looked up.

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome. To deal with 'dangerous elements' like you, the agency has a complete backup plan. This includes the use of any means within a 'controllable range'. The old man pointed at Albert with the tip of his umbrella and said, "Now, get ready for your final judgment." ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the huge 'spider' began to move.

Don't look at its very bloated size, but its own speed of movement is only described as 'fast', which is not enough to summarize its whole story.

In the blink of an eye, the spider swung along the vertical silk to the top of Albert's head.

At this moment, he didn't even have time to react, but subconsciously stood up from the chair.

As soon as he raised his hand in a similar gesture, the beast opened its large mouth full of fangs and swallowed Albert's whole body in one gulp.

The whole hunt was so fast that the rest of the people present didn't even figure out how the animal did it.

"Now, it's both of you's turn."

When the old man saw that Albert was successfully eaten by the 'spider', his face showed a very relieved expression, and he immediately turned his face to look at Yu Siqi.

Keeping his gaze in sync was the 'spider' that had eaten Albert. It flexibly turned its bloated body and began to take steady steps, approaching Yu Siqi little by little.

With its little approach, Yu Siqi could clearly feel that time was being withdrawn around him.

For this phenomenon, Yu Siqi did not choose to sit still, but concentrated his attention to fight it.

It worked, and the spider's movements gradually stalled.

Unfortunately, the old man in charge of directing it quickly noticed this, and he began to increase his control over the 'spider'.

As a result, there was a scene of a giant 'spider' walking and stopping between the two.

Especially when both sides had increased their restraint on the time they could control, the beast's twenty-four feet slid back and forth on the ground. It's like tap-dancing, it's funny.

Seeing that this would only bring the situation to a stalemate, the old man with the umbrella over there was not honest and started to think crookedly.

He first pointed with his other free left hand at one of the armed men who had been killed by the bullets that had bounced back, and then muttered a mantra composed entirely of the Rammeshiani language.

For his 'little action', Yu Siqi was not unaware of it. It was only when he realized that the situation was not good, and the armed men, who had already died, actually rose from the ground stiffly and twistedly as if they had come back to life.

"It's over, that old thing is starting to manipulate the dead."

As soon as Yu Siqi saw this scene, he couldn't help but say.

"I remember that 'resuscitation of the dead' was a taboo that was strictly forbidden by the establishment. It seems that the old guy has no intention of following the 'code of conduct' in order to achieve his dirty ends. ”

Xie Baozhen's not very 'polite' words directly made the old man's anger surge.

It's no wonder, who made her poke at the other party's pain points?

However, although Yu Siqi knew that the other party had used inhumane means, it was unlikely that he would go to the agency to sue the other party at such a time.

After all, he can't get out of it now!

As for the other party, it seems that he is very aware of this, which is why he is so unscrupulous.

And Yu Siqi also thought of a possibility, that is, the other party used such a strictly forbidden means without 'reservation', and he had already made a plan not to leave a living.

To put it bluntly, as long as there is no proof of death, then there will be no accusation against his crimes.

As for the anomalous fluctuations that were detected, they could all be blamed on the 'dead people'.

Anyway, as long as Albert and his 'unruly' person can be dealt with, it is estimated that even if the agency knows what the truth is, it will most likely choose to help hide it.

When such a 'dark thought' came to Yu Siqi's heart, the dead armed man picked up a gun from the ground and pressed the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

In the process of hitting Yu Siqi, the empty bullet was once stopped by the barrier that Xie Baozhen had re-erected.

It's a pity that the old man's side still moved his hands and feet. A bullet that should have been intercepted flashed in the direction of the back of Yu Siqi's head in a way that ordinary people couldn't understand, and shot at himself at a strange angle.

The bullet can also turn, which is something that Yu Siqi never expected.

To be reasonable, although he had already guessed that the other party would definitely use some despicable methods, or some ability that he had not seen so far to make himself suffer.

But the bullet can flash and turn, which is a bit more than he expected.

It can only be said that the battle over the past few days has made Yu Siqi's body form a certain degree of instinct.

Under the premise that he didn't react at all, his body instinctively made some actions to avoid damage.

Bow your head - short - shrink your neck.

He did all three actions in one go, but in the end he was not hit by this bullet.

But because of the forced shift of his attention, the 'spider' who had been suppressed before was given a short 'freedom'.

Almost as soon as he dodged the bullet, the ugly, huge 'spider' leaped in front of him, and once again opened its fanged mouth.

Just when he saw that Yu Siqi was about to become the belly of this beast like Albert.

The sudden scream made Yu Siqi and the others subconsciously cover their ears.

Yu Siqi really didn't expect that the 'spider', who couldn't see where the vocal organs were, would let out such a piercing scream.

Of course, he didn't guess it either.

At the moment when the scream was about to end, the huge and bloated body of the beast completely cracked in front of Yu Siqi.

Immediately after, in Yu Siqi's shocked look, Albert, who was covered in strange liquids, came out of it.

"I'm sorry, I was going to dispose of this animal as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I forgot that I didn't have any weapons at hand, so I had to use this little lollipop stick to scratch its body bit by bit. ”

Albert explained to Siqi while holding up the small white stick filled with strange liquid.

It is worth mentioning that this is a small stick that is not much longer than a toothpick, and it seems to have been sharpened.

"No, how can you be swallowed by it and have the ability to save yourself at the same time!"

The old man looked at Albert in disbelief, his tone full of doubt and incomprehension.

"Why not? You don't really think that you can make a 'spider' that can devour time, and you want to swallow me too.

I have to say, your idea is quite creative.

But you have foolishly ignored the extremely important fact that you are not the only one in this world, or he is proficient in the so-called way of time!

Don't forget, I'm a scientist. One of the skills that scientists are best at and must master is to allocate and manage their time wisely.

Only by doing this can scientific research progress.

So, when you try to influence me with the practice of 'devouring time', you have already lost. ”

Albert single-handedly ripped open half of the 'spider''s body, and when he touched his body, the beast moved a few times at an inopportune time, and was kicked a few times by Albert, learning to be 'honest'.

"Science? I thought that in the framework of a worldview based on reason and logic, there was no room for a general product such as time, which existed only on the concept of human beings. ”

The old man is not an ordinary person after all, and even at this point, he has not completely lost control of his emotions.

"Your point of view is too superficial. Isn't science itself a general product that only stays on the concept of human beings? ”

Albert's words made the other party completely speechless, and the latter wanted to open his mouth to refute it several times, but finally chose to shut up. He took one last look at Yu Siqi, then let out a long sigh and dropped a sentence, "I'm defeated." ”
