The Empire's Far East Coastline.

At the same time, it also belongs to the area of Iwabang Thousand Layer City.

The red plague has not ravaged the city, but it has had some impact, so that fishing boats have become scarcer.

It was the depths of winter, and under the dark and gloomy sky, on the top of a dilapidated lighthouse, several old guards were smoking inferior cigarettes, carrying half bottles of cheap spirits, and looking out at the sea level with binoculars, looking uncertain.

Their eyes could see through the snowflakes and the distant coastline, filled with a vast and thick darkness. The darkness was like a dark cloud, but it was heaven and earth, and it wriggled like a living thing, so dark that it seemed to swallow everything, and it was terrifying.

Such an abnormal phenomenon has never been seen in the lives of several old guards, and they only feel incredible.

"Una, I can't be dazzled, right? What the hell is that?!"

"I'm pretty sure you're not dazzled, old fellow, because we can all see it clearly! But only the sun knows what it is...... It's not going to be *** when you're constipated!"

"Don't waste time, hurry up and let the sailing ship return, if you really crash into it, no one knows what terrible things will happen!"

A few old fellows exchanged a few words and cursed, and one of them picked up an old-fashioned microphone from the communication device on the desktop and pressed a few buttons.

The old guard took a sharp puff on his cigarette and shouted into the microphone:

"This is a coastal lighthouse...... Little Muno, hurry back and don't go any further, there's a damn darkness over there, and we don't know what's in there...... For the sake of your lame father, and the girl who just got married, turn around and come back!"

Half a day.

There was no echo on the other end of the microphone, only a loud noise, sizzling.

The old guard had no choice but to repeat it again, but this time there was still no response.

He cursed, hung up the radio, and dialed the next ship's channel again.

"Hey! This is the coastal lighthouse......

After informing the dozen or so ships that set sail in one go, Xiao Muno did not respond, which made several old guards feel dull.

That's a great guy, watching him grow up, if something happens......

Alas!

At this time, one of the guards was still observing the sea level with a telescope, but suddenly saw a figure in a black hat dress appear in mid-air.

He shook so violently that he almost fell in fright.

"What's wrong?! Old Una?"

"I...... It was as if I saw a man flying in the sky!"

"Damn it! Have you drunk too much?!"

"I didn't ......"

But when the old guard named Una looked at it again, he found that there was no human figure in the sky except for the drowsiness. The others also didn't notice the "flying man", and hurriedly cursed, making Old Una extremely depressed.

Chen Lun's body had already come to this sea area according to the anchorage point provided by Mr. Biles, and he had just felt the prying eyes from the lighthouse, but he didn't care.

Directly ahead, darkness blocked his way, and he stood frowning and standing still.

That's Mr. Byers' breath...... He is inside. ，

But his spiritual instinct told him that there was a strong danger in the darkness!

Chen Lun's heart sank.

He knew that Mr. Biles was in such a bad state at the moment that his supernatural power was out of control and spread out of this "realm of the night" that was indiscriminate.

Looking up at the sky, the cold snowflakes were blowing on him with the cold wind.

Chen Lun took a deep breath and was about to try to go into the darkness to search for Mr. Biles's whereabouts. But at this moment, an old fishing boat slowly drifted out of the darkness on the sea beneath his feet.

His eyes froze, and he sensed that there was still a living breath on the ship.

It's a fishing boat that has strayed into the realm of darkness...... Maybe you can learn about it through these fishermen

Circumstance. ，

He thought for a moment, and teleported to the deck of the fishing boat.

To his astonishment, all the barrels of cargo on the ship burst open and were in shambles, and all the live fish that were caught had undergone a terrible mutation!

Their scales fell off, and they grew disgusting, dense black misshapen feathers, covered in yellow-brown pus! The live fish opened its mouth, baring its dense fangs, croaking like a crow, and its eyes were black and full of malice, like hairballs, twisting and jumping on the deck.

After seeing Chen Lun, they gathered in unison, and then exploded on their own.

Boom Boom!

After the blood mist cleared, a "wall" of pale snakes was revealed, they twisted and writhed, and their bodies were covered with black feathers, while Chen Lun, who was hiding behind, was unharmed.

He looked at the thick layer of flesh and blood under his feet, and smelled the strong fishy smell and foul smell between his nose, he couldn't help frowning, and raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.

"Huh?!"

Chen Lun suddenly found that his control over the snakes was weakening, and they seemed to be undergoing irreversible changes...... the "wall" collapsed, and the snakes covered with black feathers swam freely on the deck, their eyes began to be blackened, their scales fell off, and more feathers grew......

He even wanted to attack Chen Lun as the "main body"!

'Myth pollutes......,

Chen Lun's face was solemn.

While he still had some control over him, he immediately caused the snake group to disintegrate.

Puff puff puff –

The group of snakes that are undergoing abnormal changes disintegrate one by one and turn into a puddle of rotten meat.

Chen Lun calmed his heart, stepped through the flesh and blood "mud blanket", and went straight to the cockpit at the bow of the ship. Twist open the pressure valve and kick it open with a single kick.

Inside, the three sailors and the young man who was the captain of the ship all lost their original human appearance!

They...... They are now like birdmen, covered in misshapen black feathers, with four inverted beaks emerging from their noses, beaks, and cheeks, and their eyes are pitch black. The hands and feet are covered with pus, bright yellow cuticles and lines, and the fingers are like bird claws!

Wow!!

Wow wow!

They let out uncomfortably strange screams, fluttered, and staggered and rushed over!

Whoosh –

Several cards flew by, nailing them all to the inner wall of the iron sheet, Chen Lun frowned and looked at it, and became even more sure that the people and fish of this boat were all in the dark night realm, and they were unintentionally polluted by Mr. Biles!

'Mr. Biles...... It's probably out of control! ，

Chen Lun's face was ugly.

These fishermen are no longer saved, and this level of high pollution is irreversible...... If left unchecked, as fishing boats drift ashore, they are likely to cause cascading pollution to coastal populations until they become catastrophic spread.

His eyes were lowered, and with a wave of his hand, the [Fireworks in His Palm] spurred out extraordinary flames, enveloping the four Raven Men in it...... They screamed until they burned to ashes.

Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief, went out to inspect the entire fishing boat, and after confirming that there were no living creatures, he used the air to walk and escape straight into the darkness.

*

The interior of a dark, dark, lightless area.

Chen Lun was calming his face and kept flying forward.

The heavy snow that had been falling dissipated here, and although it was cold all around, I couldn't see or touch anything...... Sight, smell, and even spiritual intuition seem to have failed.

In the depths of the darkness, there was a creaking croaking of a beast.

Chen Lun suddenly felt that the cry hit his soul, as if it had penetrated his body.

The cold hairs stand on end!

The ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.

So Chen Lun began to pray to Mr. Biles, trying to find out the other party's state at the moment.

However, there was no response.

'Mr. Byers......

Chen Lun gritted his teeth and sped up the speed of his flight.

Tens of seconds later, he came to the depths smoothly, as strange as the scream of a bird, close at hand!

Finally, he could see what was not far ahead......

A treacherous creature wriths wildly!

That's the eight-meter-tall "Blackbird"! It is covered with arm-length dark fluff and crow feathers, three nodulous bird heads of different shapes, screaming in the sky, and still retains the inner side of the hands and feet in human form, connected to the wing membrane, and has a human head on the tail......

On that skull, it was Mr. Biles's face!

It's just that His expression at this moment is full of pain and unwillingness.

Blinded and inhumane.

"Ah...... Terrance...... Rafa...... Ahhhh......h Destiny ......"

Biles's mouth was muttering simple words.

Chen Lun looked at this scene and was speechless in shock.

He knew that this was the mythical bioform of the Sage......

And at the same time, they are what they really are!

Usually showing people in the posture of human beings, it is just for convenience, and at the same time, it also prevents mortals and even low-level transcendents from being polluted and dying uncontrollably after witnessing their true faces!

Sages generally do not reveal their mythical creatures unless they are voluntary......

"Ha ——!!!"

The three nodulous heads of the giant blackbird were staring at Chen Lun in unison.

The tail head also turned, and Byers distorted his face and yelled at him:

"Die! Die!! Hahahaha! Die, die!!"

Rumble!!

Seeing how he made a move, Chen Lun felt a tightness in his chest, and then a sharp pain struck.

His bones shattered and flew upside down.

Chen Lun endured the pain and noticed that his blood bar had dropped by more than half!

With just one blow, he almost killed him instantly......

He immediately urged the [Sting] bookmark, as well as the transcendent biological trait of "Splinter Resurgence", to heal himself, and at the same time exclaimed:

"Mr. Byers! I'm Jack! Wake up!"

But in response to him, it was a scream in the back of his head.

Chen Lun's face changed.

His thoughts raced through his mind, and he shouted again:

"Have you forgotten your lover, 'Yulan, Oget?!"

Sou!

A sharp, hideous pitch-black bird claw stopped at the back of Chen Lun's head, and a trace of blood flowed from his hair......

The giant blackbird looked down at him, trembling all over, its tail swinging slightly, and moving its head to Chen Lun. Mr. Biles struggled, and his eyes cleared.

Looking at Chen Lun, he squeezed out a smile.

"Jack, you're here...... I'm sorry to hurt you."

"Mr. Byers, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Lun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked.

The other party was silent for two seconds and shook his head.

"I'm running out of time...... I can only tell you that my revenge failed, and on the way to flee with serious injuries, I was ambushed by Rafa...... He seems to have been prepared to trap me to death with an inexplicable trick."

Byers' face was bruised, but he resisted the frenzied onslaught, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"He seems to be hungry for the power in me, and as [Sequence 4 - Sin Eater], Rafa wants the higher qualities of the Moon Path...... I don't want him to succeed, but in desperation, I can only use the ability of [Sequence 4 - Ferryman] to ferry my soul and use the power of death to get out temporarily...... However, I can only remain in this world for a few more hours, and then I will die completely...... Time is running out."

Chen Lun listened to Mr. Biles's calm words, his hands and feet were slightly cold, and his heart sank.

His ominous premonition was finally fulfilled......

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Biles.

"Let me finish first......

He said in a deep voice.

"Originally, I didn't realize it, but after ferrying my own soul, I'm now just one step away from real death...... With the weight of my high position, I perceive my own destiny, which seems to have been altered...... Jack, as a transcendent of the path of fate, you must be careful in the future!"

Chen Lun shook suddenly.

He immediately ignored the possibility of backlash and played a peep at Mr. Biles-

Rumble!!

Chen Lun's brain was smashed, and he leaned back, and blood flowed from his eyes.

But in a daze, he also saw the trajectory of Mr. Biles' fate...... Indeed, as He said, there are traces of manipulation.

Chen Lun endured the pain, and [multi-purpose] opened at full speed, thinking about the clues of the past.

He spoke out to Biles and asked a few key questions, to which he calmly replied. In the end, Chen Lun confirmed one thing-

'Howard...... He did it all! ，

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

When I first met Howard, it was I who helped Mr. Biles resist the encirclement...... And the surviving captain of the executioner squad, Talleyrand...... Nine times out of ten, he is Howard's pawn, and at the critical moment of Mr. Byers's revenge, he has attached a curse to Mr. Byers at the cost of his life.

And this curse will not have much effect when it is usually placed.

But it was Mr. Biles who took revenge on Terrence......

It was the straw that broke the camel's back!

Until Rafa intervened, completely cornered Mr. Biles, and ferried himself to survive...... Chen Lun even suspected that Howard was able to escape Rafa's siege and see himself in the last moments of his life.

The chill in Chen Lun's heart was even worse, even more biting than this cold winter.

He felt what fate was......

What is the result of being manipulated!

"Heh......

Chen Lun laughed.

The reluctance and depression in my heart, as well as the endless anger, are all intertwined.

There are accusations of his own weakness, resentment against Rafa, Howard and even Terrence, and even cries of fate.

"Jack ......"

Mr. Biles spoke suddenly, smiling.

"I feel your anger, and I'm glad...... After all, after Yulan's death, I rebelled against my relatives to reclaim her legacy, until I met you and recognized Floy. But you don't have to be sad for me, and you don't have to avenge me...... I just hope that you can take care of Floy so that the wolf family can continue to survive......

Chen Lun didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand in a depressed mood, urging the vitality of the bookmark and instilling the past. The glowing green light flickered, but no target could be found.

It was as if Mr. Byers in front of him was just a phantom.

"I'm actually dead...... It's just in a special state right now, so you don't have to waste your energy."

Mr. Biles said slowly, with a calm look in his eyes.

"I want to pass on to you the words that Yulan once gave me, Jack...... 'Keep things in your heart, and it will live with you, and if you forget it, then it will die forever.'" ，」

His deformed claws gently landed on Chen Lun's shoulder, as if encouraging.

"So when I die, please make good use of the leftovers...... If you can, please take the letter I have hidden in the spiritual cemetery as my body and bury it with Youlan."

Chen Lun had not yet had time to say goodbye to Mr. Biles.

The black giant bird in front of him slammed and drifted into nothingness.

But Mr. Biles' melancholy words came from mid-air—

"Love is the most expensive anchor, it cannot defeat death, but it can anchor the soul. Let the departed souls no longer wander, and let the living souls find their home...... I've been waiting, Youlan."
