Time was pressing, not only Deacon understood this, Chen Qi also knew the abnormality, he stopped, and raised his voice to the rabbit in front of him who was running away with a pendulum: "Hey, rabbit! ”

“！”

Turning around flexibly, he took off the half-human-high pendulum from his head, the snow-white, taller than human rabbit stared at Chen Qi vigilantly, seeing that he stopped chasing, he relaxed his vigilance slightly, showed a hearty smile, put the fingertips of one hand on the dial, and then slightly stroked his chest with the other hand and saluted, that polite look, if it wasn't for the lack of clothes, almost made Chen Qi mistakenly think that he had seen an elegant gentleman with a top hat and a scepter.

It's just that a gentleman won't make a hole and run away, but the rabbit in front of Chen Qi will.

He had seen the whole mansion as a den of this strange rabbit, and every time the dial was moved, it would cause the mansion to have a local time distortion, forming many invisible tunnels like a hole, allowing it to wander freely and effortlessly.

On the other hand, Chen Qi has to pay real magic and physical strength to run, and the two are more judgmental.

The rabbit did not attack Chen Qi, but jumped back and forth in the mansion like play, which made Chen Qi not choose to pull the trigger to solve the problem by force, but started a chase with the rabbit.

However, his body was on the verge of its limit, and the burning sensation from the magic circuit reminded him that there was not much time left for him to fight. The testimony he had made with Julius before, as well as the promises made at that time, were waiting for Chen Qi to fulfill them, and while chasing, he suddenly remembered a story he had read when he was a child, and stopped the rabbit in front of him.

Chen Qimo's eyes widened slightly, and he smiled: "You don't mean to fight, and I don't want to shoot, so how about we make a bet." ”

“？” The ears bent into an arc to express doubt, and the rabbit trembled his leg muscles slightly, pondering the meaning of Chen Qi's bet.

"Have you heard of the tortoise and rabbit race, this corridor is about to reach the end, I will not stop you from escaping, but if you are not willing to face the blockade of bullets, just compete with me, before this my pistol will be handed over to you for safekeeping, on the other hand, you have to compete with me to see who will reach the end from here first, if I lose, I will naturally turn around and leave, if you lose, you will leave this mansion, how?"

As he spoke, Chen Qi took out a blank self-enforcement certificate from his clothes, which he wanted to use to discuss with Gold about sending him to the Bell Tower School after the matter was settled, but now Chen Qi decided to use it to fulfill the agreement and expel the rabbit.

If the pendulum rabbit refuses his kindness, then Chen Qi will have to project a firearm and use a barrage to try to end the rabbit's life, but he will also taste the consequences of overuse of magic again.

"How, I know you can understand people, choose." Taking out the pistol behind him and turning it upside down to show sincerity, while holding up the self-coercive testimony in his other hand that can be written with magic at any time, Chen Qi waited for the rabbit's choice,

After thinking about it carefully, the rabbit's eyes disappeared with playfulness, and his expression became serious, as two brothers who were infected by the magic of death in the 'city', born from the minute hand and the second hand respectively, their task is to guard the mansion, but it is ridiculous to say that they serve Deacon's death power.

It carefully judged Chen Qi's breath, stared at the large-caliber pistol filled with killing intent that had not yet dissipated, and felt the resentment and anger of the 'collector' from above, it was obvious that Chen Qi was not joking with it, at least this pistol carried a rabbit that could recognize the record.

The monsters in the city have their own pride and dignity, they are the residents of the 'city', and they are also the guardians of the 'city', and they can be infected with the hatred of the collectors, which shows that Chen Qi is qualified to stand on the same level as them.

That being the case, it's better than a show.

"........." (nodding)

After receiving the rabbit's answer, Chen Qi began to inscribe the pact on the self-imposed testimony, such as preventing each other from hurting each other after the bet, the rules of victory until the designated end is reached, and the loser must exit the mansion, etc.

Finally, after Party A signed his name, Chen Qi sandwiched the pistol in the testimony, threw it at the rabbit, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The rabbit didn't speak, just lit the dial of the pendulum, pointed to Chen Qi again, and then engraved his name with magic on the party side of the testimony.

- Magician of Time.

A brother born from the city's clock tower along with the Demon of Time, he has served faithfully to the god of death who created them.

After signing the self-coercive testimony, the rabbit magically condensed the pistol and the testimony into a minute hand and nailed it to the wall, walked over to Chen Qi and stood still, signaling that he could draw the start and end lines.

"This mansion has a total of three floors, and the position we are standing in now is between the center of the second and third floors, the comparison is very simple, you and I retreat to the starting point of the second floor, each with his own ability, whoever arrives at the third floor of the mansion in this tortuous corridor first, who is the winner."

After the rabbit signaled that he understood, Chen Qi and it came to the starting point of the second floor, lowered his posture, and was at the same level as the rabbit who was tensing his muscles and preparing to start, and his palm touched the corridor slightly, and briefly read the morphological memory of the corridor inside the mansion: "Countdown to five seconds." Five, four......"

After digesting the details and shape of the corridor of the mansion in two seconds, a glimmer of divine light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, "Three, two, one!" ”

As soon as the last second reading party exited, the palm of the rabbit slapped the dial violently, the time twisted with the twist of the minute hand, and the entire corridor twisted and extended under the supply of otherworldly magic, fixed by the gray static breath, and jumped directly towards the third floor with a kick of his legs.

However, as soon as it moved, its hind legs were clamped by the palm that reached behind it, and the rabbit looked back, only to see Chen Qi standing still, only his arms leaning forward, this action did not appear after the dial was activated, but began to predict the rabbit's actions.

I only heard Chen Qi laugh and said: "It's not over so soon, rabbit, you yourself are the key to this static door, touch you can correct my own timeline, and ......"

"I'm not a Saint Seiya though." Suddenly, Chen Qi's voice became intermittent, like a wave, and the figure in the corridor flickered as if it was in poor contact: "But, I...... Not on a trap...... Fell twice. ”

MONOCULUS has the ability to transform a passive function that would have been used to receive information from the outside world into an active influence on the outside world. All targets within his line of sight would be affected by his abilities, and after entering this mansion, Chen Qi found that his eyes had a wider range of authority.

In the real world, he is only speeding up, slowing down, and mustering up enough magic to use his own time lock, but in this mansion that distorts some of the rules clearly, he can do even more terrifying things, such as relying on touch, and there is a chance to trap the other party in his vision.

[-Time lock.] 】

The rabbit turned around, only to find that everything in front of him fell into the white moon, and Chen Qi's voice was constantly stretched in the process of transmission, and at the same time as the breath erupted, it flew up from the corner of the corridor, and became farther and farther away with his voice.

Able to manipulate time, it keenly sensed that the flow speed was wrong, its two big ears were erected suddenly, and its powerful legs and feet slammed on the ground, catapulting itself into the air of the corridor, and the pendulum it was holding bloomed again under the effect of the twisted magic in the hall, and rolled towards Chen Qi, but it was only in vain.

Just as light would deflect in water, the spread of magic power in distorted time could not accurately capture Chen Qi's position, his speed was far better than Chen Qi's, but the distorted time turned into an endless nightmare at this moment, binding the rabbit in place.

Within a few seconds of its stopping, Chen Qi jumped out of the handrail on the second floor, grabbed the edge of the corridor on the third floor and turned over, and when the rabbit broke free from the time trap, Chen Qi was already standing at the last step before the finish line, calmly climbing the stairs, crossing the finish line agreed with the rabbit, and winning the race.

The chaotic time in the corridor subsided at this moment, and Chen Qi smiled at the rabbit: "Agreed." ”
