The meeting, which was supposed to be an all-nighter, was interrupted.

Although there was no real shock to the inside of the venue, the horrific riot caused by a small number of "stalkers" from the Abyss Court managed to take the lives of several attendees, and after some counting, it was revealed that the list of dead was the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Teresa, a scholar from the plateau, and several officials of various positions and functions.

However, these identities are meaningless to the Stalkers of the Abyss, and all are treated most equally in the end.

The process of identifying the dead and collecting the bodies is never pleasant, and those who are attacked and killed by hounds will die in an extremely distorted and tragic manner - after being torn open by the fangs of the hounds, their bodily fluids and vitality are often wantonly sucked up by the tentacles hidden in the gaps between the teeth.

As a result, the bodies of the victims will eventually become shriveled and shattered, looking like pieces of flesh that have been dried and then violently trampled on.

However, whether it is Merlinle or the Dawn Society's station, these are only a microcosm of Vane's night, the pursuers' actions are cruel and unpredictable, and the slaughter they cause is even more horrific, and all over the world, anyone who has been staring at the black sun for a long time during the day has become the prey they mark at night.

There are so few people who can respond appropriately.

Even in the barracks of some armies, there was a serious commotion among the pursuers, and the hounds not only killed their targets with ease, but even caused exaggerated stampedes, and the casualties caused by the misfire were uncountable.

The same situation also occurred in the inner and outer cities of Merlinle, but because of the careful and strict management methods of the Law Committee, most of those who were targeted by the Abyssal Hound were concentrated in advance, and with the protection of various magic and the timely support of a large number of personnel, many of these people managed to survive.

For the vast majority of people, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

What's even more terrifying is that no one can be sure that this will happen for the last.

When he finally returned to the embassy in the early morning, Xiuge picked up a newspaper that had been sorted out by the Legislative Committee, but he couldn't laugh or cry at all the various emergency situations, and during this time, he had been seriously thinking about how to make more people aware of the dangers of the Black Sun and the Black Sun Society.

He had no idea that a pervasive, everyone-oriented threat would come so quickly.

Wei Lin walked in from outside the house, she sat down in the living room, took a cup of soothing herbal tea from Xiuge's hand, and after two strong sips, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Legislature should be reduced to a small meeting, and they are going to put some new secret rites and magic golems in the embassy area, as well as some sword wielders in the retreat, and almost everyone will be monitored during the meeting." ”

As a former member of the Legislature, Vicline became extremely busy at this time, not only did she need to represent the Dawn Society in dealing with the Legislature on matters related to magic, but she also became the mage representative responsible for the embassy district along with the rest of the spellcasters.

She held the teacup and was reluctant to let go, and the fatigue that lasted for the rest of the night made her look particularly tired and haggard: "But this time, no one has expressed any objection to these arrangements, and many people are frightened, and now they want to live directly in the sword retreat......

"Everybody is going to be watched? Does that include us? ”

"Theoretically, you are not included...... Well, it's just you. ”

Wei Lin squeezed out a smile: "But I think the people from the Law Council and the Retreat should come to us soon, just wait, you can't escape the next affairs." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Xiuge forcibly snatched back the teacup from Wei Lin's palm, poured another cup of herbal tea and stuffed it back, he shook his head with a smile: "Things have come to this point, if the Law Committee doesn't plan to speed up the original plan, and doesn't plan to let us join in those affairs, I really have to doubt their ability and attitude." ”

After speaking, Xiuge raised his hand and pointed to the second floor of the residence: "If you can, go and take a rest, at least wash up and refresh yourself...... You now look like the all-night clerks in those publishing houses. ”

This description made Wei Lin slightly dissatisfied, she wrinkled her nose, and was about to refute, but caught a glimpse of two blood stains on her dress.

Of course, the hounds of the Abyss do not bleed, and these blood stains belong to the wounded and dead.

"Okay......"

Wei Lin finally chose to compromise, and the moment she said this, her whole state finally relaxed.

Although she had long been accustomed to "overtime" and all kinds of stressful work scenes, what had happened the night before was different, and even she felt a little panicked and helpless when the terrible black fog was filled around her.

She hated the feeling.

I hate the bad feeling that when I'm in trouble, my knowledge and magic can't be used.

However, the face in front of Wei Lin's eyes was extremely gentle, just like in the past.

"Don't panic, this is where ......"

Xiuge softly relieved, and then he turned his head to look at the crystallized wall clock on the wall: "There should be breakfast delivered in a while, you wash up and eat some and go to rest, it will definitely not work to stay up like this......"

"Also, while I'm not necessarily right about what I said, I think there's a different way to look at what happened last night."

Wei Lin was a little confused: "Another angle? What do you mean? ”

"Advice repeated a thousand times may not be useful, but a knife-wielding gangster is always alert, and while it may cost lives and blood, it is not much worse than a group of procrastinating people who don't know anything."

Xiuge said as he waved his hand at Wei Lin: "Okay, let's go and rest...... Maybe you'll be woken up by me soon, so don't get out of bed then. ”

Xiuge said as he waved his hand at Wei Lin: "Okay, let's go and rest...... Maybe you'll be woken up by me soon, so don't get out of bed then. ”

Verin rolled her eyes, but didn't argue with Xiuge, and walked briskly in the direction of her room.

The living room is quiet again.

Shuge did not return to his room, he sat upright in the soft chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his attention quickly sank into the vast spiritual ocean under the metal disc, and in this empty and full of spiritual power, he saw several black clouds neatly "stacked" together.

These black clouds are the power and information that the messenger in the mirror sorted out after dealing with the other palace attendants, seeing that Xiuge seemed to be interested in these things at this time, the figure of the messenger in the mirror immediately came to Xiuge's side, it bowed slightly, like a butler quietly waiting for Xiuge's instructions.

This portrait of a waiter in the restaurant made Xiuge feel inexplicably funny and funny, so he said to the messenger in the mirror: "Forget it, you better not put on such a look...... It's as good as before, as long as you can get things done, how you love it. ”

As a result, the messenger in the mirror, who had received Xiuge's promise, almost immediately reverted to his original form.

An exaggerated grin appeared on its face, and its stance became casual, and it raised its hand to point towards the black clouds, and a large piece of organized information was immediately laid out neatly in Xiuge's mind.

A similar process has been experienced by Xiuge many times in the past, but in the past, the memories and knowledge he absorbed were all "second-hand goods" that had been roughly digested by the Descendants of the Abyss, and all of this information came from the victims of the Descendants of the Abyss.

While the Descendants of the Abyss could be considered inferior to the power of the Abyss Court, they were equally ignorant of where they were created.

This time it's different.

These court attendants who arrived with the hounds and accompanied the hounds like dog trainers were all complete creatures of the Abyss, and these fragmentary memories and messages extracted from them successfully unveiled a corner of the Abyss court for Xiuge.

The so-called court attendants are actually the remnants of the power of the Abyss court.

If the court of the Abyss is compared to a huge tree that grows unchecked, then the court attendants are the tiny branches and leaves that extend from this tree.

However, even the leaves on a tree can be large and small, and these attendants, who together with the hounds form the vanguard of the pursuers, are the most humble "servants" of the Abyss Court, they are the foundation of the fog that roams the court, the dregs of the escaping power, and the most convenient and effective tool and beacon for the Abyss Court to pursue the offender.

Yes, to the complex and strange set of rules within the Abyss Court, these shadowy humanoid servants were just consumables that could be invoked at will.

Shuge rummaged through the broken memories, and it wasn't long before he found some almost unrecognizable scraps—fragments of images and sounds that seemed to confirm the true identities of the servants.

At some point in the distant past, it seems that these miserable souls once inhabited the Vann, perhaps members of a tribe or inhabitants of a large country, but in the end, in the midst of the great hunts and sacrifices, these souls were captured by the waves of the Abyss and became the instruments of the court.

Stripped of their original identity and crushed by their souls and consciousnesses, they can only serve the court in this new form until one day they die out completely, or they are called upon by certain beings in the court and ruthlessly thrown into other realms.

Either it becomes the material, or it becomes the food of the hounds or other creatures of the Abyss, or it merges silently into the waves of the Abyss, merging with this treacherous and cold world.

After learning of this, Xiuge immediately glanced at his mirror envoy and court hound: "So, this is how you also came from?" Do you remember the more detailed process? ”

In the face of their master's question, the two Abyss Creatures looked at each other, they exchanged silently for a moment, and then the Mirror Messenger gave Xiuge an answer - they had no memory of their birth and appearance, as if they did not have the process of "birth" at all.

In their very limited knowledge and memory, they seemed to be doing their duty from the beginning, the Mirror Emissary only remembered that he had walked slowly through the chaotic, upside-down passages of the Abyss Court, and the Court Hound remembered that he had traveled through the Abyss with countless of his kind.

It wasn't until later that a powerful figure that also exuded a strong abyss aura appeared in front of them......

Although Hug was equally curious about the specific methods and processes by which Theseus "abducted" these creatures, it was now more important to understand the nature and goals of these stalkers, so he sank into those memories again and again, trying to find more clues.

Soon, his efforts paid off.

Through a painstaking patchwork, Hug was able to roughly reconstruct the pattern of the stalkers' movements.

When the vast Abyss begins to revivenation, its power will spread equally to all the worlds connected to it, as if the black ink slowly spreads towards the clear waters, and all the waters impregnated with the "black ink" will become the temporary territory of the Abyss Court.

In the midst of these ever-expanding powers, dangerous creatures are able to move freely, and those who are controlled by the Abyssal Court are able to go further, and although their "great hunt" has not yet officially begun, these hungry pioneers are already able to "connect" with other worlds in a variety of ways.

Perception, sight, indirect observation, even imagination and talk about it at the height of the "Great Hunt" and the "Tide of the Abyss" can lead to bad results......

In short, all actions related to the abyss can cause ripples in the pitch-black "ink" filled with spiritual power, and after these ripples appear, the vicious pursuers who are already hiding in this "water" will naturally feel it and may take action at any time.

And at the end of the shattered memories, Xiuge saw vast expanses of cold chaos and boundless voids.

This is the essence of the Abyss and its raging waves.

It, like all the creatures that live within it, is cold and merciless to all worlds associated with it, which they see as a source of their own power, hunting and spreading despair and destruction equally.
