Chapter Forty-Eight: A Moment of Life and Death
Even if Qin Mei later became a high-level reincarnator in the superstring space, she still had lingering palpitations when she recalled the life-and-death struggle that lasted less than three minutes, and she was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.
In the dream, she was as powerless as she had been at the beginning, and although she had severely injured her adoptive mother at the beginning, the rest of the battle had little to do with her. I could only watch my brother battle wits with that man, and finally won.
When they saw the woman lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen, Qin Lun and the middle-aged man understood at the same time, and each made their own reactions. Foster's first reaction was to pounce on the knife holder in the kitchen, but Qin Lun made a choice that made both Qin Mei and Foster stunned at this time.
The eight-year-old boy turned around and ran out of the kitchen, barely even glancing at his sister, who was usually his life. However, Qin Mei understood her brother's intentions in an instant, and she swooped under the square table in the kitchen, so that Foster could not catch her at the first time.
Two children, one eight and one six, could not have fought against an adult man in such a cramped place as the kitchen.
So do they have an advantage? Naturally, there were two of them, and Foster must not let one of them escape from the house for help.
So, after the middle-aged man was stunned for a while, he had to perform according to Qin Lun's script. At this time, he could bend down and grab Qin Mei from under the table, but with this gap, Qin Lun had a chance to escape from the house and go to the nearest neighbor for help.
In this case, before the police arrived, Foster didn't have time to clean up the bloodstained kitchen, forcing him to arrest Qin Lun. Only by blocking the exit of the residence and killing Qin Lun first could he have time to slowly continue to deal with Qin Mei.
Therefore, at that time, Qin Lun turned around and fled, which was the only way for their brother and sister to survive.
Although Qin Lun still hadn't thought about killing the Foster couple before this, but after Qin Mei made a move, he was terrifyingly calm, and the master of controlling the field in the future had already begun to take shape at the age of eight.
Qin Lun turned around and walked out of the kitchen, but instead of fleeing to the door as Foster imagined, he was blocked by the man's sight, and hid in the corner of the kitchen door as soon as he squatted. The kitchen is less than twenty meters from the door, but it takes time to open the door.
As a result, the middle-aged man who had just accelerated his speed suffered a big loss at the kitchen door. Qin Lun just stretched his leg lightly and stumbled, and the man fell a dog eating with the force of his forward rush, and the corner of his forehead hit a big hole in the wall opposite the kitchen, and he was dizzy for several seconds, and he couldn't even stop Qin Mei from running out of the kitchen.
It's a pity that Qin Lun and Qin Mei didn't have time to get the weapon at this time, otherwise they wouldn't have to fight for their lives later.
……
Just when the Qin Lun brothers and sisters were immersed in their memories, there was a little commotion on the platform of the manor.
The overseers surrounding the six-pointed star circle split their way, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, dressed in strange costumes, walked out.
Thomas Wilson and Kayla Wilson appeared before the Harry siblings in neat, crisp white priestly garbs and pointed cardboard hats. Kayla Wilson also holds a crystal ball used by a gypsy witch for divination.
"The Core of Time and Space?!" The familiar energy fluctuations of the crystal ball made Qin Lun slightly stunned.
"There's such a big space-time core here!"
The core of space-time is a very precious treasure, it is the energy core of the space-time node, which contains a huge amount of space-time energy, which can open the door to the starry sky. Some high-level space-time cores can open space-time portals under the effect of space-time skills.
Qin Lun had only seen this thing in the Illusion World before, and at that time it was also the first time he knew about the existence of the superstring space.
The core of time and space is very precious, and when you are in the Illusion World, it is the goal of the mission to shatter the starry sky. The cores of time and space they had obtained were all taken away by the shattered starry sky, and none of them were left for the apostles.
There is actually a space-time core here, no wonder there will be a space-time overlapping effect.
It was supposed to belong to the old merchant, Kayla's father. The master father in their mouths, that is, the demons or evil gods of other mirror worlds, should have mapped their power into this world through this thing.
"If you can grab the core of time and space......" Qin Lun's consciousness frantically struggled in Harry's body, and he instinctively wanted to control this body.
However, it is strange that he is not greedy for the core of time and space at this time, but wants to use the core of time and space to save the fate of the Harry siblings, no, he and Elaine.
Unfortunately, his struggles were in vain, and his consciousness was not in Harry, who was now only a window of vision for him.
Seeing the arrival of the Wilsons, the surrounding overseers showed frightened expressions, and except for a few henchmen, no one dared to stand within two meters of them. Perhaps in the eyes of these overseers, the couple was not much different from the demons.
"Why aren't you ready yet!" Sir Wilson glanced at the six-pointed star circle on the ground, and immediately frowned with great dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes!" A sturdy overseer with a meaty face beckoned behind him in fear, and several of his men struggled to carry a large wooden barrel.
They scooped a dark, viscous liquid from the barrel with a wooden spoon and poured it along the dark purple streaks of the circle. What was surprising was that the patterns of the magic circle condensed with blood actually restrained the black liquid like a ditch, preventing them from flowing outside the stripes.
"It's ...... Petroleum! Harry may not know this black liquid, but Qin Lun, Susan and the others can see it at a glance. The features of this thing are too obvious, too easy to recognize.
Qin Lun didn't know why those people used oil as fuel. Oil is used directly for combustion, which produces a lot of smoke and the smoke is toxic. If you want to burn them, firewood and coal are the most appropriate.
"No, don't!" Susan and Dinah couldn't help but cry, they were just ordinary schoolgirls, but they had never experienced this kind of formation.
Leave it to me, and if you want to save your sister, give me your body!
As the oil smeared the entire magic circle, Qin Lun became more and more irritable in Harry's body. But the seemingly futile roar slowly took effect, and Harry seemed to hear it.
"You, who are you, can I save Elaine by handing over my body to you?"
"I promise, I promise!" Qin Lun suddenly felt that all other physical sensations except for vision had returned.
He could feel the blood strangled by the ropes on his arms, the burning pain; He could feel the cold of the night wind blowing into his neckline; He could still feel the body dizzy from exhaustion as it struggled desperately.
Qin Lun didn't care about being tired, he tried to move his body, and found that the rope was still very tight, and there was no sign of loosening. The overseers who bound him must have done this kind of thing often, but in the past they were all for the purpose of tying up black slaves.
"If you want to get out, you will break your left wrist and dislocate your left shoulder...... And you have to wait, wait until they set the fire, otherwise you won't have a chance to be tied up again! After gaining control of his body, Qin Lun calmed down a little.
"Harry's body doesn't have any combat power, and although he can get out of it by self-harm, there are so many people on the rooftop of the manor...... Unless the overseers leave, you'll have to gamble on the odds of surviving the fall. ”
"No, there's another way...... Take advantage of the chaos to snatch the space-time core, stimulate the space-time energy inside, and teleport away with Elaine. However, this can also cause a huge disaster, and I am afraid that the tragedy that happened in the original plot of Wilson Manor is related to this crystal ball. ”
"Ignition!" Just as Qin Lun was thinking, a cold voice woke him up, and the overseer led by him brought the torch towards the six-pointed star array, and countless fire snakes quickly spread along the edge of the circle.
"Bang~~" In the middle of the night, a huge sound suddenly came from downstairs on the rooftop.
"Sir, the in the barn have all run out, and they are running towards the manor!" The head of the overseer looked under the rooftop, and immediately shouted in alarm.
Wilson Manor owned a large sugar cane field, employing no less than 200 black slaves, young and old, and if they all escaped, I am afraid that the estate would face catastrophe.
"What's going on? Isn't the thorn already caught? And where did they get the shackle keys? Sir Wilson grabbed his overseer by the collar in a fit of rage.
"Hahaha, they succeeded!" The black slave, whom Harry had previously called Kanda, laughed and looked at the Wilson with bloodshot eyes, "You and your estate will go to hell with us, white-skinned devil!" ”
"Humph! You take the Overseer to delay those, and I'll kill them and come over!" Sir Wilson shoved the leader of the Overseers away, and with a furious stride himself stepped into the burning six-pointed circle.
"Kill the sacrifice early, and the ritual will not be complete!" Kayla Wilson shouted worriedly as she got behind the man.
"Do you have a better way? If I don't go down, how can I stop those! Sir Wilson turned and glared angrily, causing Kayla to shiver and stop talking.
Sir Wilson ignored the flames in front of him, and walked up to Kanda and took out a pair of strangely shaped gloves from his bosom.
The gloves were made of unknown animal fur and were black in color, with five finger cuffs inlaid with rootless sharp blades that looked like claws made of steel.
"He's the murderer of Carmen! Kill him and save those guys! Seeing the murder weapon that Sir Wilson had taken out, several overseers who had not yet left the rooftop suddenly shouted, and one of them raised the fire ~ gun in his hand towards Sir Wilson.
"It's Alan and John, good chance!" Qin Lun or Harry's eyes quickly became bloodshot, and there was a trace of hideousness on his face, and with a soft "click", the young man's left shoulder obviously collapsed.
