Chapter 22: The Abyss

It was nearly nine o'clock when Galag and Mono returned to the day of the apocalypse room, and both of them went into the bathroom, one removing makeup and the other washing jam.

At about the same time, a ten-centimeter-tall skeleton bird stood on Syck's shoulder and walked in the atrium. This skeleton bird magic creature is quite popular with young people, but it is not actually a bird, but a moving parasitic plant, but it is placed in a culture tank in the shape of a bird skeleton. When the creature moves its muscles and bones, this "culture tank" will perform movements such as flapping its wings and stretching its neck. If it touches the sounding circle, it will also cause a piercing scream.

The skeletal bird's walking itinerary is mainly to bask in the sun, as the plant will become dormant if it is not exposed to the sun often.

Every time he walked, he sprayed the skeleton bird with a mixture of haode nutrient solution. This guy is a good guy to take care of.

On the way, Toushabo told Vic that the Magic Hand had been with the two Knights last night, and that he had asked everyone to pay attention, but no one had found the person Rick had described. No necromancer was found either. The nation's capital is safe and secure, and there are no necromancer groups that have been entrenched here for a long time, so it can only be foreign. As a result of the central inquiry, there are no known necromancers operating nearby.

"Your walk route is also on the patrol route, so nothing should happen. 」

Halfway through his words, Xi Ke saw a man in white standing under the gazebo with an umbrella not far ahead. The umbrella man has reappeared!

Xi Ke silently tugged at the corner of Shabai's clothes, "Have you seen anyone there? 」

Tou Shabai was stunned for a moment, paying attention to staring at the gazebo, and then suddenly took a deep breath: "See. 」

At the same time that Toushabai saw each other, the man with the umbrella also saw them. The man with the umbrella gave him a big smile and took a step forward.

The distance between the two sides should have been more than 100 meters, but when he walked towards Xike, Xike was stunned for a moment, and then the man came to Xike.

The umbrella man maintained a smiling face and stretched out his hand to Xi Ke, it was too late for Xi Ke to flash!

"Dang" made a metal impact, and Toushabai immediately unfurled the wall to protect Xike. The man holding the umbrella frowned slightly, and waved his hand towards Thoshabai.

"Stop!" In desperation, the Xike sacrificial knife came out of its sheath and hit the umbrella man's arm with the hilt, hitting the umbrella man's hand down, without touching the sand cypress.

Obviously, there was still a five-centimeter gap between the two sides recently, but Tou Shabai had a weak foot and fell to the ground. He felt that all the strength in his body was gone, as if a big hole had been poked in the bottom of the bucket, and it was flowing away quickly.

The grass under the umbrella man's feet began to wither. The fog demon Ash rushed out of the silver box by himself and surrounded the umbrella man. The grass on the ground was bounded by the small ashes, and it was all withered inside, and all green outside.

"It's really a life drain. Rick immediately understood. There is no difference between life and death, so it can be a barrier, otherwise he and Toushabai are finished.

The umbrella man kept waving his hand to drive Ash away, but the fog demon was gas, and it tightly wrapped around the umbrella man. Syk took the opportunity to hold Thoshabai's arm and drag him away.

With what little strength he had left, he grabbed the bee cube and squeezed it firmly.

Rick took two steps forward, only to find the umbrella man and Ash directly in front of him. He turned around and rushed in the other direction, and immediately found the umbrella man and Ash directly in front of him.

Rick gasped and shook his head, it couldn't be.

"The space is separated. There is no way to contact the outside world. Thotha leaned his head on Rick's shoulder, inhaled, cursed, and said, "Where is the Archmage?"

The surrounding area looks very normal, the gazebo and lawn are no different from usual, and Xi Ke can even hear music and laughter coming from the building next to him, but he just can't get out of this place!

Rick put Turbo down and placed the skeleton bird on his shoulder on Thoshabai's shoulder, and took five steps forward, closing the distance. He raised his sacrificial sword and ordered, "Little Ash, protect Thoshabai!"

The fog demon wrapped around the umbrella man immediately gave up his original goal, and as if he was blown away by the wind, he moved to the side of Thosha Bai, who was sitting on the ground.

As soon as Ash left, Xi Ke immediately felt the force of life absorption rushing to his face. He felt his body being pulled by something. The skin didn't feel any touch, but the center of gravity of the body kept falling towards the umbrella man. Xi Ke stood firm, not only with his muscles, but also with his soul, preventing himself from being pulled through in any layer of shijie.

Ash still swirled around beside Rick with a wisp of smoke, not fully complying with orders. This opponent is too dangerous, and Ash is not at ease.

In the existing necromancy, no one can resurrect the dead as they did before they were alive, and their memories and skills are usually all gone. Therefore, Xi Ke felt that the other party would not kill him. Dead Rick has no value.

"Who are you?weishenme looking for me?" asked the umbrella man.

"I don't know, I don't know. The man with the umbrella smiled and said, "I'll ask you a question. 」

"What's the problem?"

"What is the meaning of life?"

Rick didn't answer.

The man with the umbrella asked, "What is your dream?"

Brook still didn't answer.

The man with the umbrella then asked, "What is truth?"

"Don't waste any more time. Rick said.

"Is this the answer to all three questions?" The umbrella man tilted his head.

"I'm too lazy to answer these stupid questions!" Schik yelled, this isn't the Spiritual Growth Counseling Room!

"I don't know. I have no purpose. The umbrella man still smiled, he tilted his head, nodded again, raised his voice and said, "Ah, I remember, let me ask you, are you interested in transforming Shijie?"

"Change you big-headed ghost!" said Rick.

"Big head?" The man with the umbrella tilted his head again.

It seems that the umbrella man has a bad understanding, and Rick refuses in a more formal way: "I'm not interested!"

Xi Keping raised his sacrificial sword to build a protective wall, he felt that he was about to fly out, and he managed to cast another spell at the same time. Casting two spells at the same time without the assistance of external forces is not something that can be done simply by skill, but only by relying on "skill" to reach the point where practice makes perfect. Xi Ke had already practiced "skillful" spells and did not have many spells, so he chose the forced sleep technique and began to chant mantras.

"Rick, that's a dead man!" said Thoshabai's voice, sleep spells were useless against the dead!

Syk stopped chanting. The man with the umbrella is a zombie?

"Think about it, what did he say?" the umbrella man paused.

The man with the umbrella nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said in a very slow tone, as if trying to show extreme humility, but with a strong tone and a very choked tone, "Humans are stupid, vulnerable, and ignorant, struggling to survive and killing for misunderstandings. There is no more humble and arrogant creature in the world than humans. The existence of "good" has been revealed since the beginning, but human beings are immersed in "evil" and cannot extricate themselves. Human beings are obsessed with evil, obsessed with evil, devouring everything until even they suffer from it. This shijie must be changed, otherwise humanity will not wake up, and only by changing shijie can 'goodness' come. The man with the umbrella smiled and asked Rick, "Don't you feel anything after hearing these words?"

"The savior is not my life's desire!" Xi Kewei lowered his chin and said, "Stop talking nonsense! What are you pestering me for?

"After asking these three questions, my mission is complete, and I won't come to you again. The umbrella man said.

Rick felt a gust of wind blow behind him without magical fluctuations. Thoshabai used his staff to cut an opening in the space, and at his hand, a small lightning bolt kept flashing. Through this rift, a contact signal is sent out, and support will arrive soon!

"Your answer is not interested. The man with the umbrella tilted his head and smiled, "My mission is complete, by the way, what did he say? zaijian!」

At about the same time, a huge black portal appeared between Xi Ke and the umbrella man, and a whole team of up to ten magic mages, wearing gold-trimmed mage robes on a black background, jumped out of it and pointed their staff at the umbrella man.

There were at least twenty or more spells that exploded in an instant on the scene, and Xi Ke couldn't count them all, only to see the magic power turn into purple or blue sequins visible to the naked eye, spinning around in the air. If the man holding the umbrella doesn't move, the structure of all spells will be reduced to fragments and lose their effect.

The figure of the man holding the umbrella slowly faded, and Zuihou disappeared.

Rick heard a "buzz" and the enclosed space opened. The umbrella man left. Rick immediately ran to Thosabai and crouched down, and the two magicians also ran over. They tapped him a few times with their staffs and said, "Simply exhausted, resting should be fine." To be on the safe side, it's better to go to the doctor. 」

Tho Shabai was conscious, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his hands. He looked at his companion and gasped for breath as he said, "That's a dead man! He doesn't have the fluctuations of consciousness of a living person, and he doesn't have a mental fluctuation! He can walk the mezzanine shijie that a living person can't walk, and a simple detection circle can't catch him!" That's why there are no residual memories on the umbrella, the dead don't have a mind, so the mind spell can't catch anything.

Rick's head went blank, and he instinctively put the skeleton bird back on his shoulder. Ash slowly burrowed back into the silver box.

"I've never seen a zombie so much like a living person. Pushing it to his chest, he said, "The difference in the level of life energy causes the life absorption technique. Which necromancer made such a dangerous zombie?"

The mages next to them took the magic cage and contacted the preparation room. The continuous sound of talking, Xi Ke turned a deaf ear.

"Registered as a first-class zombie, the maker is unknown...... "The instructions given are unknown, not for the purpose of collecting corpses...... "Has an intelligent expression close to one's own will......

"When you stare at the sea urchin, the sea urchin is staring at you. 」

In Xike's chaotic mind, this sentence ran out inexplicably. In the past, he was doing zombies to endanger others, and he never thought that an innate necromancer would actually have to deal with hostile zombies.
