Chapter 768: Last Night and Tonight
Although he does, Kane has never really been the salary king before this.
Now that I have taken office, I have found that the strongest feeling is the concept of time, like a stopwatch with a countdown to death in front of me, and time is running fast.
This is undoubtedly a kind of pressure, which makes people feel anxious but also has more motivation to spur, no matter what the specific plan is, in short, every day should not be wasted, after all, life is limited.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Kane did not deliberately lock the routine of work and rest, and felt that his mental state was fine, so he did not sleep for a few hours, but became familiar with his physical condition as soon as possible.
Kevin Fox's body has always been suspected of being a drag, and after the inauguration of the salary queen, this contradiction has finally been greatly alleviated, and the power of the salary king has first fully radiated this body, making it greatly transcendent, completely getting rid of the upper limit of the human body.
In fact, after becoming the Salary King, he can already refine the essence to create a pure energy form of the flame shell, as a new first tool. But out of feelings, Kane still refuses to give up his human body easily, he is not ready to become an alien, as for when he will be ready, maybe after an event in the near future, or maybe never.
With the Mystic Castle, the utility of the fleet is greatly reduced. Too eye-catching, inefficient, this is all a simple comparison.
In addition, the Mystic Fort has the function of a training place that the vehicle does not have, Kane has made the Mystic Fort collect the convoy, and the Fireeater continues to modulate in the Mystic Keep.
Jamie's last spare car left in Paradise City was activated, an old Ford pickup, still with Coffey as the driver, who picked up Nia and turned back to New Mexico.
This happened on the morning of the fourth day after leaving the City of Light.
The communication equipment loaded in the pocket of the pickup truck trolley ensures that the communication network can be used and the contact will not be lost.
And the morning news does have some new information that is of some value to Kane.
In terms of exposure, last night's Grimm Mansion was undoubtedly the best, but in terms of its impact on the transcendent circle, it could only rank third.
The first is Sino Island, since the location of the core operation is already the Mailadi Palace, it is no longer necessary to strictly follow the law of day and night, but to determine the time of action according to the state of the task force.
Last night there happened to be an important operation, and it was also successful, so that it was seriously watched by the transcendents.
From the perspective of physical harvest, last night was a rare opening day, the kind that has not been open for three years, and has been open for three years, and the team has caught a lot of dry goods, including magic artifacts, rare and extraordinary energy crystals, and so on.
From a strategic point of view, however, the entire series of operations can be largely set as a failure. After all, the main purpose after the rescue banner is actually to find the source of the so-called nightmare and close it, but it turns out that the source of the nightmare does not exist, and there is an unstable passage to an unknown plane, and many experts believe that most of the missing people involved in the two rescue operations are leaving through this, but no one dares to explore deeply, because the channel is connected to a very wide world.
This news is undoubtedly good news for Kane. His foresight was thus confirmed, making it even more professional.
He believes that this is an important measure of what status and rights the entire transcendent circle is willing to give him. Of course, he also knew that it would involve businessmen's bargaining, and whether it was worth that price would really enjoy the corresponding rights and interests.
The second big thing that happened last night was the tear-up battle around Durac City, New Mexico.
There were two rounds during the day, and the first round was a tentative operation based on red scarves after Kane and his party left. As a result, I helped the Ten Witches regain their self-confidence, and the depression that even knelt down to doubt life the night before was finally relieved a lot. The plague puppets lurking in the pond alone caused the red scarf to suffer a lot.
In the afternoon, the main force of the action team with the elite-level transcendents exchanged fire in Duriac City, killing and wounding each other, and finally the attackers chose to retreat on their own initiative after mastering a lot of information about Duriac City.
During this period, there was naturally a war of words, and the Ten Witches Society was as stinky and hard as ever, and refused to share the treasures of Duriac City with others, so the attackers could only grab it themselves on the grounds that the Ten Witches Society violated the rules of the Transcendent Circle.
This confrontation, which is based on the main selling point of 'people dying for money', reached a climax at midnight that day, because the masters who can tear apart the ten witches of the Ten Witches Association have finally arrived.
Masters always have a big shelf, and inviting them to play is often done after confirming the target value.
After that, what Kane had feared for a while happened, and the paranoid and ruthless Ten Witches defeated the battlefield and manipulated the space-time displacement device to send Duriac City back to its original world like a flop, pit 9 masters with 4 people.
After that, the remaining 6 great witches, 3 were divided into 3 high-level who restrained and got out of the pit in time, and the remaining 3 bloodied the opponent's temporary camp, causing the death of nearly 100 people, and the red scarves involved in the operation were almost completely wiped out.
Although it can't be compared to the Sinoe Island incident, it is still a big event that shakes the extraordinary circle.
The losing side was angry because of the huge losses, and said, since the Ten Witches will not follow the rules and bully the small, then we will also take action.
And the Ten Witches Society, who had a bad breath in the night battle, combined the power of the six witches to strangle 3 masters who had been pinned down before, killed one seriously injured and escaped one, and then did not love to fight, and led his subordinates to drill directly.
The environment and landform of this new Mexico are highly similar to the native world of Mississippi, although there is no well-known large primeval forest, but the water network is all over, the swamp is numerous, and there are many crypts and mud pits that are easy to hide.
This morning, the course of this incident has entered the stage of sending justice from heaven in the name of so-and-so, and comprehensively searching for the members of the Ten Witch Society.
Although it was already known that the Ten Witches had been prepared, the core property and personnel had been transferred early on. But it is still necessary to make it look like a full siege of the city, in order to concoct good news, and cover up the ugliness of the previous heavy losses and even anger.
It was against this backdrop that Kane moved from Highway 10 through the cities of Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, to New Mexico.
When I arrived in Yincheng, it was already past 20 o'clock in the evening, and I was very bored with sitting in the car all day, so I asked Coffey to maintain and refuel, while Kane and Nia found a hotel, opened a room to wash off the dust, and went to a Western restaurant to have a delicious dinner together.
When they reunited with Coffey, their good mood was ruined a bit, and it turned out that Coffey had fought a group of ghouls.
The reason for the fight involved the killing outside Green's mansion last night.
The ghouls were naturally killed by Coffey, but it also caused some chaos, and Coffey set the killed ghouls on fire, leaving no evidence of trouble, but the car was destroyed.
Through a ghoul head that Coffey deliberately left behind, Kane learned that the reason these lower independent races are chasing is that the ghouls have a group memory similar to that of rats, and it is a magically enhanced version.
The simple understanding is like the Internet, every ghoul is a terminal and can upload information. Although Coffey killed the group of ghouls neatly last night, he was also locked by the ghoul spirit and uploaded the relevant information to the group memory.
So the effect similar to GPS positioning made the ghouls chase after them.
This psychic lock lasts for 48 hours, and when it was renewed in a recent fight, it means that more ghouls are already on the way.
Kane thought about it, but let Coffey go to Mystery Castle. The Mystic Fort has a special location and cannot be locked.
After that, Kane and Nya took a taxi to a popular nightclub nearby.
Nia didn't enter, and Kane was fast in and out, but by the time he came out, there was already a greasy man with a meaty face beside him.
For the extraordinary, ordinary people are just resources to be taken and taken, and Kane is already very particular, choosing a scumbag from a nightclub who sells fans and directly making it into a puppet.
So, there are free drivers, including the car that belongs to this scumbag, of course.
The next stop is Nia's hometown of Lodzburg, a veritable little place. The kind where there are only two buses a day to the outside world.
While crossing a bridge, Kane asked the puppet to stop and then got out of the car to take a look.
Nia is still familiar with this bridge, and she doesn't know what to see. But believing that Kane would not stop and observe for no reason, she also got out of the car.
The cold of the night made Nia tighten her jacket, walked to Kane's side, pointed to the other side of the water that loomed under the starlight, and said, "It's about 6 miles across the bridge, and it's Lotzburg." β
"What is the origin of Lozburg?"
"It is said that an Englishman who made a fortune during the gold rush, remembering the glory of his ancestors, bought the land here and built a small castle, the only castle within a radius of thousands of miles, with a history of more than 200 years. β
"What are the main pillar industries?"
"First it was wood, then it was cotton, and now it's mainly aquaculture, and I still remember when I was a kid when people dug ponds to store water. After a brief explanation, Nia asked, "What, there is an anomaly here?"
"Hmm. Kane did not shy away from it, and bluntly stated his speculation: "I guess that since the pond was excavated, there has been a lot of drowning, or aquaculture failure, or some inexplicable disaster." β
Nia looked surprised, obviously by Kane's words. She said, "You mean there are man-made supernatural factors that have caused all this?"
"The possibilities are high. The flow of magic in this area has obvious unnatural traces. This often means that there is a lair of transcendents nearby, and that it has been in business for many years, and the overall characteristics are gloomy and chaotic, and it is not good. β
"Naaya......"
"Let's talk about it when we go to the place. β
The two returned to the car, and the car started and continued to move forward.
After crossing the bridge, a sudden trance made Nia look at Kane in some shock.
Kane nodded, "Just like you think, the Transcendent Realm, the situation here is a bit more serious than I expected. Are there any relatives in town?"
"Neglected father. β
"Be mentally prepared that he may not be the same person anymore. β
Nia said venomously, "I wish I could be a little less asshole." β
To Kane's surprise, the first thing that came into his sights was an amusement park.
Large rides such as Ferris wheels and roller coasters are so conspicuous that even in the dark of night, it's easy to see the silhouette.
"This is the faΓ§ade of Lotzburg?"
Nia shook her head, "It should be the bus stop, I suspect we're in the wrong place." β
"Sure enough, I won the lottery, the transcendent realm level +1, if it wasn't through special artifacts or rituals, then it means that there is a demigod-level transcendent here. β
"Demigods?"
"Don't worry, I'm not far off. Kane told the puppet to stop again, and then beckoned Nyoa to get out of the car with him.
Since you have entered the realm world of demigods, it is necessary to maintain a high level of vigilance, and if you continue to sit in the big tin cans of ordinary vehicles, it is easy to be trapped.
A tattered and uncleaned asphalt road leads to a dark, wet pavement with cracks and crevices of yellow weeds at the end of the spectrum. The ice fog is hazy, there are swings, swivel chairs, and wooden horses nearby, and it seems that they have been thrown outdoors for years, rust and damage are everywhere, and they are old and cannot be used again.
An amusement park that doesn't have enough lights and popularity looks eerie and eerie.
Nya leaned in with some nervousness, reached for her pistol, opened the strong safe, and asked, "What might we encounter?"
"The possibility of deformed evil is higher, the birth and control of evil spirits is very difficult, and it is not cost-effective to be a gateway guard. β
It didn't take long for the evil creature to appear, and it was indeed not an evil spirit, but a canine-like evil thing.
Their physique is somewhat like an enlarged version of a thin dog, but the skin is significantly tougher, like rhinoceros skin, but the most important thing is their head, which is usually like a budding flower waiting to bloom, revealing weirdness, and once they open their mouths, they are like flowers blooming, covered with knife teeth, which looks very hideous.
They emerge from the shadows, silently and calmly approaching, but the approach of the whole in an enveloping mode is clearly ill-intentioned.
Kane's probe pointed at the void, and white flaming fireballs that looked like unquenchable flames were lit up from the void, and with a wave of his hand, the white fireballs flew towards their respective targets like flying insects.
This kind of flower-headed dog is obviously not low-intelligence, not only knows how to dodge, but also knows how to hit fireballs with its paws.
However, these fireballs have tricky flight paths, and they really don't die like living creatures, and there is another situation where they can't be touched, and they will be triggered when touched.
There are several flower-headed dogs because they whip fireballs, and as a result, they get caught on fire and become fire dogs in minutes. Before long, the smell of burning grease and protein began to drift away.
Kane's detectives ingest the essence from the burned Bonus, which is then projected onto the newly recruited golem.
The puppet's body swelled at a speed that could be seen, and it didn't take long for it to become a muscular man, and even its clothes were torn.
Kane didn't need this puppet to be very capable of fighting, and the main purpose of investing in him was to keep him from being too distracted by protecting Nia.
Burning more than a dozen monster dogs in one go, Kane knew that the temptation was almost over, and most of the next thing was to do something, and he already had an expectation of what it was......
