Chapter 785: When the Net Is Closed (Part I)
A soul full of hatred, a soul full of anger, the flame of hatred and anger is so dazzling, the blocked space is even cut by this flame
No!
The space that was deliberately blocked was not opened, but a more mysterious and great force broke through the blockade, and the negative feelings of anger and hatred were vented to the pain and suffering, and slowly condensed, and a unique and strange intersection gradually formed, even if it was so faint, but it was indeed the passage that he was most looking forward to, a passage into the city of sin!
Let me see your heart, mortals driven by hatred and anger, and I believe that in the depths of that city of sin your soul is tormented by the flames of hatred, there must be feelings called 'depravity' in the depths of it!
The endless distorted void represents the huge consciousness of the fall is about to move, like a temptation, the tentacles slowly pass through the tiny passage, little by little into the consciousness of the mortals on the other side of the passage, but when it touches the end of the other end of the passage, the huge consciousness suddenly finds that this power that breaks through the space is more powerful than he imagined, full of ancient vicissitudes of life, like a power born from the origin of everything from ancient times to the present, can create everything or destroy everything in an instant!
Even himself, who is a powerful master in the abyss, seems so small in front of this force
For the first time, thinking and hesitation overwhelmed the domination of desire, and the demonic master stopped infiltrating, and if that force was unwilling to get out of the way, even he was not sure if his consciousness would be able to maintain his whole self under the powerful impact of the forced intrusion.
However, in the midst of hesitation, the space-piercing power gradually dissipated, leaving only the tiny intersection point, as if an invulnerable warrior voluntarily abandoned his defenses and deliberately exposed his weakest side to the enemy.
Trap!bait!Or is it deliberate?
The Demon Master wandered and hesitated, not sure what the other party's reason was, but in the end he chose to try, because it was too important to let his power infiltrate the city. There is a soul that it desperately needs, but its countless believers can't break through the blockade of the space in the city, and the stubborn law of the interface has blocked all their power, and now the space has been broken a small gap, even if it may be a trap, they need to test it.
As for this power that opens up space, ┉┉ Since he is greedy for this power, it is an existence that he cannot reach. The existence of power is closely connected to the origin of the world, and it can only exist in the main material plane, if it is forcibly swallowed, maybe it will be fixed in the main material plane by this force, and when the intersection disappears, its fate will be crushed into ashes by the powerful power of the law of interfaces.
In the room hidden in the underground waterway, a black slime squeezed out of the void, and the inside was like boiling blood, and the brown slime shone with a scarlet light, and it slowly crawled around the room like a poisonous snake, and soon this foreign object from the void slowly attached itself to something and fell silent
Claire, who didn't know anything at the moment, had quietly gone out to buy some food, and in order to avoid being discovered, she chose to live in seclusion, as long as there was food and water, even if she stayed in this dark waterway for several days in a row. Especially recently, the security team in the city has been eyeing themselves, after escaping from the black street, there are many more unfamiliar faces in the lower districts, even if they are disguised, but they can see that they are all spies and eyeliners of the security team.
But she can endure the dark, the dampness, and the loneliness, but she can't endure hunger and thirst, and the gems may be able to conjure food and water, but Claire knows the consequences of over-reliance and reliance on the power of gems. Longa's warning kept echoing in the boy's ears that he would not make such a mistake!
Claire, who had disappeared, made her way out of the waterway. It wasn't until she walked to a dark and uninhabited corner that Claire showed her figure again, and today the boy was not wearing a cloak or the conspicuous mask, after all, it was broad daylight and bringing these two things was simply exposing herself to the spies around her, and the burns on her face were also healed with the help of the power of gems.
After the makeover, Claire found that in addition to healing injuries, the gem can also change some details of her face and even the color of her pupils if she manipulates it properly. It's just that the price of doing so is not the kind of severe pain that pierces the nerve center, enough to make one feel more pleasant than dead.
Claire changed into clothes and tried her best to make herself walk on the street like an ordinary child in the lower districts, and after walking for a while, Claire gradually relaxed, the road was very noisy, in addition to the pedestrians who came and went, some teenagers of about the same age as herself were also chasing and fighting, and she was like an inconspicuous pebble in the crowd. The spies stationed around were not suspicious at all.
In order to provide for the family, it has been avoided that the whole family becomes a slave after bankruptcy. The civilians of the lower districts are always in a hurry, and the garbage on the roads is only cleaned up at night, and the smell of garbage can be everywhere in the lower districts during the day. Horse-drawn carriages passed by in the middle of the road from time to time, and people always scrambled to avoid these carriages, which mostly belonged to the upper district chambers, otherwise if they were accidentally hit and even lost their lives, there would be nowhere to say anything, and the law in this city was always biased in favor of the wealthy class.
As she walked, Claire suddenly turned around and grabbed a thin arm: "What do you want to do?"
It was a boy younger than Claire, who looked to be less than ten years old, and at this moment the boy's hand was grasping Claire's money bag, and when he was discovered, the boy was stunned and then let go of his hand and slipped away like a frightened rabbit, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at the boys who ran away, Claire had no intention of catching up, these children were orphans in the lower districts, and more than a dozen people were under the control of those ruffians and hooligans in a group, and most of the property they pickpocketed every day had to be handed over to their own bosses, and if they were not enough, they would be beaten or simply sold cheaply to slave traders. And the little ruffians and gang hooligans who control these children have never dared to target only the civilians of the lower districts from the same background, and no one dares to steal from the upper districts, one is that once the theft is discovered, not only the children who steal will be sent to the slave market, but even the people behind the scenes who direct them will not escape punishment.
Maybe the rich don't care about that little money, but they care about the loss of their face, so these scumbags who can't afford to provoke the rich in the upper class only dare to target the same poor people!
Claire had been pickpocketed once, and then followed the child to find a scum who oppressed the children, and the angry boy directly used magic to bake the little ruffian into charcoal, but Claire, who liberated the children, found that they were at a loss, and only then did Claire know that these children had already formed a dependence on these oppressors, and without the protection of these little ruffians, these helpless children would be sent to the slave market as slaves the next day.
I also want to shelter these children who are as miserable as myself, but I may not be able to do it as a wanted criminal, let alone shelter others.
Since that day, Claire has turned a blind eye to this kind of thing and stopped asking about it
I quickly checked the money bag and found that there was nothing missing, in fact, the money bag was just a disguise, and it contained some scattered spare money, and the real big bills were placed in the space ring. After re-strapping the loosened purse, Claire didn't want to walk to a bakery in a hurry.
There are spies!
Claire had already spotted the vendors squatting on the side of the road selling trinkets, although they seemed to be selling their own things to passers-by normally, but the observation skills honed by daily meditation after becoming a mage over the past few days made Claire notice them, although they were peddling things, their eyes cautiously and quietly looked at everyone who passed by.
It is impossible for ordinary hawkers in the lower districts to have such sharp eyes, and those poor residents have long been worn away by the cruelty of reality, and there is no doubt that these people are indeed spies arranged here by the security team.
Claire pretended not to know anything and walked to the bakery and chose a few black breads at any time, and then took out the crumpled money ticket prepared in advance in the money bag, the last time Claire had an accident when she went out to buy food, and she bought a week's food at a time, and then found that she was quietly followed at the moment of going out, although she got rid of the stalker, she also gave Claire a wake-up call. The vigilantes have probably figured out some of their own patterns, and have begun to set up eyeliner near the shops and vendors that sell food in the lower districts, and they have bought a clearly excess of food by a child alone, and they have taken too large denominations of Rien banknotes, which are all easy to spot strange behaviors.
This time, Claire immediately learned to behave, only selling enough for a family of three to eat for a day, and downgrading the better quality white bread to cheap coarse black bread, using some specially selected change and old money, after going out, the spies on the side of the road just looked at themselves quietly and then looked away.
Huhu~ It seems that there is no problem.
Holding the paper bag full of bread, Claire finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only temporary, these days of staring let me find out that I really underestimated the city before, I originally thought that I had the power of the gem to hide my body, and I was the embodiment of a shadow in the city, no one could find out, but now I finally understood how terrible it was when the power of the city was working at full strength, I thought that I had been careful not to leave any flaws, but the city security team still found some clues and finally came over.
Maybe it's safe in the underground waterways for the time being, but this area that has been watched by the security team is no longer safe, and maybe I have to consider another location to hide.
Claire thought as she walked, but what the boy didn't know was that several pairs of eyes were already firmly locked on him. (To be continued.) )
