"Gauntlet of Trickery: Each Chosen One has his own 'trick' that can be used to escape the hunt of beasts. The Chosen One without trickery is like a human being without personality, who is eventually drowned. If you can take away other people's tricks, is it a kind of luck, or is it a godsend? ”

This is the description of this strange object in the black watch.

To date, Zhuo Xuan has carried out several containment missions. Not every quest will be rewarded, however, every quest is like a fate arranged in the dark, appearing at the right time.

This "trick glove" was once thrown into Zhuo Xuan's schoolbag with the rest of the tricks. In addition to the strange statue that can give people the ability to teleport, only the script of "The Tragedy of the Hanged King", which can give people the ability to disguise, is commonly used by Zhuo Xuan in the process of performing tasks.

As time passed, Zhuo Xuan's biggest weakness also violated. Exposed in front of himself.

Almost all of the other Chosen ones possess the power "trickery" bestowed by the black watch, but he is like a stranger who has strayed into this world, and does not enjoy such favor.

Now, an opportunity is in front of Zhuo Xuan.

Putting aside the black watch's lengthy description of this trick "trick gauntlet" and extracting the key information in it, Zhuo Xuan got a very shocking fact - this is a trick that can rob other people's tricks!

Facing Deng Dong, who had been planning for a long time and tried to kill him, Zhuo Xuan did not have any pity and sympathy, but chose to put on this trickery glove and strangled the other party's throat.

A scorch. The power of heat was sucked out of Deng Dong's body by Zhuo Xuan, and he was in great pain as if he was walking in a fire, constantly absorbing the scorching. Thermal energy.

Compared with Zhuo Xuan, who obtained the trick, Deng Dong, who was robbed of the trick, was obviously more miserable.

His cheeks grew paler, as if the drained energy was equivalent to the vitality in his body, causing the blood on his face to fade. When the last trace of strength was absorbed by Zhuo Xuan, and Deng Dong's body could no longer extract any strength, he fell heavily on the ground and dissipated like foam......

Looking at Deng Dong, who was falling apart in front of him, Zhuo Xuan's heart was slightly flooded, but such emotions were quickly calmed down by him.

The gloves of trickery that originally covered the palms of his hands turned into blood-colored stripes and completely integrated into Zhuo Xuan's body. When he looked at the back of his hand again, the fine streaks disappeared as if they had never existed.

Faced with such a strange scene, Alice did not have any superfluous reactions. In this cruel world of the Chosen One, death often accompanies the Chosen like the wind, and she has long recognized the reality. It's just that when she noticed the strangeness of Zhuo Xuan's appearance, she still couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuo Xuan shook his head, avoiding the matter of the trick glove, but trying to reassure Alice, and slowly replied, "It's okay, let's go." ”

When Alice heard Zhuo Xuan's words, although she still had some doubts in her heart, after all, the matter of the trick involved the deepest secret of every Chosen One, so she did not continue to ask.

In her sight, Alice slowly turned around.

Zhuo Xuan stared at the girl's figure, his chapped lips opened slightly, and he was about to say something, when suddenly, his heart beat violently!

Zhuo Xuan's palm grabbed the position of his heart, his eyeballs bulged out like dead fish, and at this moment, he only felt as if something was trying to escape from his body!

It's the "Gloves of Trickery" that fails!

Isn't it the best proof that I didn't receive a tip for a black watch?

Zhuo Xuan only felt a feeling of nausea rising from the stomach pouch into the esophagus, and he fell to his knees with a thud, retching, his face flushed, and his muscles were bruised. Dew, like a beast on the verge of extinction.

Hearing the movement behind her, Alice quickly turned around and saw Zhuo Xuan in pain, who approached in panic like a frightened rabbit and crouched beside Zhuo Xuan.

"Hey, Zhuo Xuan, Zhuo Xuan! Zhuo ......"

The girl's anxious call became farther and farther away, and Zhuo Xuan's consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally, there was only chaos left in his mind, and he collapsed on the charred ground like mud.

Not far away, the foam that Deng Dong's body turned into was slowly rising into the night sky. Before they shattered, they were like eyeballs, staring indifferently at the unconscious Zhuo Xuan.

……

The pungent smell permeated the air, mixing with the air into the chest; The sound of noisy conversation and the sound of footsteps passing by from time to time are intertwined, combined with the view from the window, the traffic and the crowd of people on the street, making people feel like they are in the middle of a busy city.

On the second floor of a hot pot restaurant, Zhuo Xuan, whose face was slightly pale, pinched the chopsticks, and looked at Alice with some surprise who was constantly lifting the chopsticks, picking up the vegetables, opening the shabu, and putting the dishes into her mouth, with a satisfied face, and was surprised why she was able to complete this series of actions so smoothly.

However, Zhuo Xuan did not complain about these words after all.

He looked at the girl who kept eating, and knew that it was because of her timely rescue that he saved himself from the danger of falling into Deng Dong's trap.

If it weren't for Alice, the long-dead Fang Ting's fantasy beast would still wreak havoc in this peaceful city, constantly depriving people related to Zhuo Xuan of their lives.

"Thank you," Zhuo Xuan said suddenly, looking at the girl with a serious expression.

"Huh?" Alice took out a piece of paper and wiped the red chili oil from the corner of her mouth, a little puzzled, and then laughed with relief, "You still say thank you to me for your treat, it's too stupid...... However, if you really thank me, I would like to add five more hairy tripies...... Is that okay? ”

Presumably, no one can refuse a girl to say the words "is it okay" in an almost soft tone......

It's just that the premise is that this girl always maintains a sweet image......

Zhuo Xuan resisted the urge to complain, nodded with black lines on his head, and watched Alice quickly draw two more checks on the disposable menu paper, handed it to the passing waiter, and re-engaged in the battle with the slightly churning hot pot.

Zhuo Xuan sighed slightly: "I haven't been discharged from the hospital yet, so you have to come to eat hot pot...... Don't you know that patients should avoid spicy ice? ”

"Come on," Alice rolled her eyes, "the doctors only said that you were just overtired, and you still had to be hospitalized, and I didn't want to talk about you anymore - I still paid the hospitalization fee for you, pay me back!" ”

Hearing Alice's complaints, Zhuo Xuan also had a hard time.

Ever since he had used the Gauntlet of Trickery to absorb Deng Dong's tricks, he had always felt that something had been separated from his body. Moreover, the black watch did not have any hints, which made Zhuo Xuan almost crazy.

Naturally, there is no way to tell these things to ordinary doctors.

I don't know, is there a Chosen One in this world who specializes in medical work?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Xuan's heart suddenly moved.

Zhuo Xuan slowly touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly avoided the matter mentioned by Alice about repaying the money, and immediately changed the topic: "Do you know Zero City, right?" ”

Zero City, this is in Deng Dong's mouth. The place where he appeared seemed to have a lot of weight, so much so that Zhuo Xuan had to care about the meaning of his words.

It seems that every Chosen One should know about City Zero.

Alice's movements froze imperceptibly, and she replied slowly in a somewhat bitter tone, "I haven't heard of it." ”

It's obviously a lie!

However, since Alice didn't mention it, it can only be explained that the time has not yet come.

After all, if Alice wanted to hurt herself, how could she put herself in the same kind of danger?

Zhuo Xuan sighed, did not continue, but slowly got up and said casually, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Alice's chopsticks were still clenched in her hand, she stared at Zhuo Xuan, biting her lip, and saw him walking to the bathroom under the guidance of the waiter, and she didn't feel even harder, and her knuckles were white.

For a long time, she seemed to realize her gaffe and felt the churning of the hot pot soup. The water vapor was hot, and he hurriedly stuffed something into his mouth, and he made a choking cough sound of "cough cough".

Yes, it's chili.

……

Closing the heavily decorated door of the restroom, the air was no longer filled with the spicy smell, but also the faint smell of camphor.

The soundproofing is very good, as if the voices of the guests are blocked to another world.

The bright orange light reflected the face of a slightly tired young man, Zhuo Xuan propped his hands on the sink, and for a long time, he turned on the faucet, held some water in both hands, and pounced on his face.

Looking up again, behind him, I don't know when, stood a girl whose body was shrouded in tattered red cloth.

Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there was not a trace of hatred in her eyes, just calmly, always calmly staring at Zhuo Xuan in the mirror.

"Fang Ting," Zhuo Xuan muttered her name, unsure that this was the playmate of her childhood sweetheart, and there was only a gloom left in her heart.

After absorbing Deng Dong's tricks that day, Zhuo Xuan felt that something was wrong and fell into a coma. Alice carried Zhuo Xuan on her back and found the strange thing in the street that intercepted the space created by reality. It was not placed on Deng Dong's body.

At the same time, a dying cry for help also made Alice hesitate for a moment, she threw the other party some consumable healing tricks, and returned to Zhuo Xuan's side.

Those expendable healing tricks can only hang people's lives for a while, and if they want to heal normally, they still need hospital treatment, especially the Chosen One like Zhuo Xuan, who has suffered many external injuries.

sent the blackened Zhuo Xuan to the hospital, and Alice also treated it hastily. During this period, she inevitably had to deal with the doctors who came to interrogate, after all, it was two patients who had suffered such extensive injuries, and they were likely to be some dangerous elements.

Of course, Alice used the trickery to fool her over, otherwise, she might face more trouble.

After waking up, Zhuo Xuan learned about the results of the mission from Alice. Xu Hao and the others' team were almost wiped out, but Alice survived with herself. As for the quest reward given by the black watch, it is basically equivalent to zero.

That is, heavy losses.

Fortunately, both survived.

Every time at this time, Zhuo Xuan misses Zhou Xueqiu very much, the man who has endless means, as if nothing can stump him.

The slight tingling sensation in his wrist calmed Zhuo Xuan's chaotic thoughts a little, and he stared at the figure behind him, as if he was looking at her from another world.

This time, Zhuo Xuan was not included in the mission requirements issued by the Black Watch, so he didn't receive any hints about the completion of the mission as a matter of course.

There is also a possibility of absurdity. The black watch had already connected to the consciousness of the Chosen One, and it knew that Zhuo Xuan did not regard Fang Ting as a beast......

Of course, this is just Zhuo Xuan's unilateral conjecture.

It doesn't matter whether Fang Ting is a beast, a ghost, or just an imaginary existence.

It doesn't matter......

Zhuo Xuan thought so, and his heart jumped suddenly. At a moment, he suddenly noticed that in the mirror, Fang Ting's lips standing behind him moved slightly, and the shape of his mouth was saying-

You don't owe me anymore.

Her body drifted away, turning into a point of light, and little by little it attached to Zhuo Xuan's body in the mirror, who looked stunned.

It was as if my vision was blurred by something.

"Terminal 0239, the beast has been successfully contained. The rewards are as follows—"
