84 re-entered
The evil trick is gone? I didn't expect to get to this point and be able to happen again.
"He countered your tracking?" I asked.
"No, the effects of the tracking technique are still alive. If it is countered, my side will be able to perceive it. But now it's like he's dead......" The hunter looked a little agitated. Finally caught the enemy's feet, thinking that the other party would never be able to run away anymore, but there was such an unexpected change, probably this incident made him a little confused.
Maybe it's also because I couldn't keep up with me and the bad tricks before. He had privately mentioned to me that although he could spatialize, the limit distance for a single transfer was just over 100 meters, and every 10 meters of distance he had would increase his cooldown by at least one second. It's not impossible to ignore the cooldown, but once or twice at most. Naturally, it would be impossible to keep up with me and the evil tricks.
If it is in Bairi Town, where he has a home field advantage, and there is no "fog" in the way, he can get a longer single transfer distance through certain preparations and arrangements, but this is Tianhe City.
But soon, he skillfully collected his mood, and after regaining his composure, he took the heart of the evil trick and sensed it carefully. “…… It's not right, it's not dead. It's not so much 'death' as 'not being in this world'......"
Hearing this, I immediately figured out how the evil move got out of tracking, "Not in this world, that is, did he run into another dimension?" ”
The hunter wondered, "But, how did he enter the alien space in such a short time?" By the way, the current evil move is the Fog Demon, so it can create a different space as much as a demon wants, and then hide in it...... But it still doesn't make sense, the alien space improvised by the demon is similar to the warlock's enchantment, and my tracking technique can still track it. Unless he enters an alien space with a low correlation with the real world, such as some naturally formed giant alien space......"
"You've been under the control of succubi in the past, and you haven't asked much about the outside world lately, so you probably don't know. Recently, some warlocks who have learned demonic knowledge through the Internet have a way to enter a different dimension called the Ruins of Random Numbers. The evil move has a deep connection with those cyber demon warlocks. "What I'm talking about here is the alien space I entered before when I was dealing with the middleman and the succubus at the same time," and the chaotic ruins are probably the giant alien space that you said naturally formed. ”
The hunter asked, "That kind of alien space, you can't just say you can go in, right?" ”
"The ruins used to be a mirror as an entrance, and for the cyber demon warlock, it is true that they can enter if they say they can enter. However, I've heard that the way to get in and out of the ruins is refreshed regularly, and it's not as convenient as it used to be when you want to get in now......" I said, thinking of what I did before the bad move, "I see...... He had deliberately fled in this direction. ”
The current ruins may not be as easy to enter as they used to be, and the evil tricks will also take some time to prepare. But what if he had prepared it beforehand?
Just like cooking, there is also a saying for "preparing", as long as the ingredients are cut and prepared in advance, you can go directly to the cooking stage when you cook the next day. Maybe he had already made preparations to enter the chaotic ruins in multiple locations in Tianhe City, and once he encountered danger, as long as he arrived at the place, he would be able to hide in the chaotic ruins immediately.
These preparations were not necessarily used to deal with me, but more likely to deal with the Tianhe City Security Bureau. He may not be afraid of the Tianhe City Security Bureau, but after all, there are many people on the other side. In the event of a real conflict, even if you win, you will not have enough benefits to speak of. It would be nice to find a place to hide and avoid conflict.
Perhaps this is the so-called "Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit", which is really worthy of being a demonic warlock who has been able to get away with it for more than 20 years. It's all at this juncture, and it can bring me this kind of "surprise". Obviously, he got the way to track him down no matter how far he escaped to the ends of the earth, but he actually ran directly to the territory outside the real world. Even if you are good at hide-and-seek, there must be a limit.
But these are all just my assumptions based on the current situation. Maybe he didn't enter the ruins, but used other methods to get out.
The hunter pondered for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do next, wait for him to come out of the other dimension by himself?" ”
"That's a solution, too, but we'd better chase it in." I said, "While he probably didn't know we were tracking him with his body, he at least had the idea that we had a way to find him." Now that there are not many tentacles left of the Fog Demon in Tianhe City, maybe after weighing the pros and cons, he will try to use a place outside Tianhe City as a landing point to leave the ruins. Even if we don't lose his position, it will definitely be very tricky to expand the scope of chasing me to the whole country or even the world. ”
"I see. So...... Will you open the entrance to this alien space? He asked.
"I know anyone who will." I took out my phone and dialed Joe Licorice's number and explained to her on the phone.
It was only a few moments before she drove to us. Under our watchful gaze, she took a small compass from her bosom and surveyed the air in front of her.
"That's right, the entrance to the ruins of Chaos has indeed been opened here." She replied in the affirmative.
She didn't know how to get in and out of the ruins, but if there was an open entrance, she could open it again. Provided that it hasn't been long since the last time it was opened.
She turned to me and asked, "Are we going in now?" ”
"We?" I suddenly realized that I had accidentally overlooked something very important, "Are you going to go in too?" ”
"Of course, if I don't go in with you, how are you going to get out of the ruins after defeating the evil move?" Qiao Licorice smiled and asked, "You don't just think about how to defeat the evil moves, and you don't think about how to prepare for the back road, right?" ”
Not consciously, but I did ignore it. I used to evaluate in my heart that the blue bird dropped the chain in a key place, and as a result, I seemed to be a little infected.
If only I was alone, this time I was working with a hunter, and I couldn't think about things alone.
But I still warned Qiao Licorice first, "It's dangerous to count the ruins, and you will have to fight evil tricks later, and I can't guarantee your safety." ”
And it's not like there's no more secure plan. For example, the Hunter and I entered the Random Ruins first, while she maintained the entrance outside. If the Hunter and I don't return for a while, she'll go into the ruins with the law enforcement warlocks of the Tianhe City Security Bureau to find us. After hearing this plan, even the hunter has to admit that the Tianhe City Security Bureau will not be ambiguous at least in this kind of matter.
But Joe Licorice refused to entrust her life to them.
"Don't worry, I'll hide far away when you fight." She said, "Then, I'm also a warlock anyway, and I've learned the art of exploring other dimensions before, so there's still a way to avoid danger in the ruins." And then, I still have this. ”
As she spoke, she took out a familiar talisman from her bosom, a secret talisman that the Blue Bird had given me in her healing dream.
I watched it for a few seconds before I remembered that Bluebird had told me that after I had rescued Qiao Licorice on Nameless Mountain and "perished" with the old bones, she had given the Secret Amulet to Qiao Licorice in order to concentrate on healing me, and asked the latter to find a place to hide.
This secret talisman was just casually mentioned by the blue bird at that time, but it didn't come in handy at all, I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
Qiao Licorice's own hidden ability coupled with the Hidden Talisman made it no problem to deceive the senses of the ignorant demons. As long as she doesn't get close to the place where we are fighting, and doesn't cast her eyes on us, the evil moves may not notice her as a "small character" who has no threat and no sense of aggression.
Sometimes weakness is also a protective color.
"I'll make sure one last time, do you really want to follow us in?" I asked.
"Don't underestimate me, Li Duo. Who do you think I am? Qiao Libri said seriously, "I am also a member of the Liucheng Security Bureau, as long as it is to catch the warlock criminals, even if it is to risk sacrifice, that is also my responsibility." ”
I didn't expect her to have such a side, maybe this is the exemplary words of a warlock from the Security Bureau. I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, "It turns out that you are ready to sacrifice consciousness, since this is ......"
"But you must protect me! If I really sacrifice, I'll sue the blue bird! She said in a trembling voice.
How can you sue if you have sacrificed? Seeing that she broke the gong so quickly, I swallowed this sentence silently.
Regardless, her performance still makes me respect from the bottom of my heart. She began to prepare to reopen the entrance to the other dimension, and I made up my mind that at least as long as I could take care of her, I would never let her have an accident in the other dimension.
The entrance to the alternate dimension soon opened.
But visually, it's not like opening a mysterious hole. The moment Joe Licorice said to us that the entrance had been successfully opened, I felt my vision suddenly blur, accompanied by an extremely strong dizziness, and all the colors and shapes in front of me were distorting and merging. If you want to describe it, it's like a coffee latte art pattern that was still clear and complete has been stirred up with a spoon.
Soon, all the colors blended and turned into a bottomless darkness.
Just like when I left the ruins, I realized that the reason why my eyes were dark was because I had closed my eyes. And when I opened my eyes, my normal vision returned.
I was standing in what looked like a hallway inside a submarine, and the Hunter and Joe Licorice were standing next to me, and they had already opened their eyes.
I used to experience a similar scene when I rescued Joan and the girl from the ruins with Joe Licorice. But even if I go through it again, I can't help but be amazed and frightened by this strange spatial shift.
The hunter took out the heart of the evil move and sensed it, and soon came to a conclusion, "Tracked down, the evil move is indeed in this other dimension." ”
We set off at once, and the hunter was at the forefront.
The ruins are still the same as before, and every time you open the door, you can't predict what the scene will be behind the door, but it's basically an interior building. Even if there is a window, it is not an outdoor scene, but other indoor scenes or corridors.
From time to time, strange demons come to kill them, some like creatures, some like machines, some like furniture...... But they were all wiped out under the handling of me and the hunters. Even Qiao Licorice, who was so easily trembling, didn't worry about his injury, but the atmosphere became extremely dull under the wordless advance and killing.
"It's a shame that Joan, he used to be able to survive in this kind of place for three days......" Joe Licorice was instead apprehensive for the people who weren't there.
"It just shows how talented he is." I took her words, "He's already learned his first spell, and now he can be called a warlock." ”
"I heard you helped him experiment with that spell, but he reacted strangely when he mentioned it to me, what the hell did you show him?" She asked curiously.
I said vaguely, "Nothing." ”
"He's actually very unfriendly outside, he's always been a loner, and he doesn't have any friends, but he has a good impression of you, and often asks me about you in private." She smiled and said, "If it's convenient, I hope you will take care of him in the future." ”
"Even if you don't say it, as long as there is something I can help, I will help him." Even though I have an element of politeness, I also think it's okay.
As if waiting for me to say this, she deliberately said, "Ah, I'm going to be eaten by my sister and brother." ”
"What are you talking about...... "I have no interest in that." ”
"If you're not interested in my brother, you're interested in me?" She asked.
"I've said it many times, I'm not going to have anything to do with women other than Bluebird." ”
"That's right......" she looked at me a few more times, and seemed to smile a little, "...... If that's the case, maybe I can trust you with Wenzhu. ”
"Huh?" I was a little surprised. Her reaction was not what I had imagined. And hearing her say this, I can't help but be so suspicious that maybe her previous "invitations" are actually ingenious tests. Sometimes, I feel like I've seen through Joe Licorice, but when I look back, I find that I still don't know who she is, but maybe she sees me more through. This makes me occasionally curious about her.
And she went back to her work, taking the compass and watching it seriously. Although it was not yet time to leave the other dimension, she seemed to want to try to see if she could determine the way to leave in advance.
Sometimes, she would suddenly raise her head to look at the scenery in front of her, and then lower her face to continue looking at the compass. The more she looked, the more strange her face became.
"Did something happen?" I asked.
"No, nothing...... There's something wrong with this place. She said suspiciously, "I used to think it was weird, but now the more I look at it, the weirder it becomes." This alien space gives me the feeling that it is generally chaotic, but there is always an artificial flavor in some details. ”
The hunter looked back and asked, "In other words, is this actually an artificially created alien space?" ”
