Chapter 34
"Confucius said: Do not look at what is not proper. This is not right. Confucius said: Learn and practice it from time to time - this is not right, this is even more not right. Learning without thinking is useless..."
Seeing that the puppet woman was coming over, Zheng Qiuji searched for his own spiritual skills that could be used, but found nothing.
Ayi had lost all her usual elegance and rolled around in the mud, covered in moss. With disheveled hair, she used the Five Poisonous Silk to pull Sha's limbs, trying to stop her from moving forward. At the same time, she cursed herself for not bringing any poison to poison these puppets.
Chu Zhongyuan rushed forward with his sliced bread in his hand. Taking advantage of the special spatial ability and relying on his mediocre skills in avoiding Zhang Yiwei in school, he surrounded Sha and harassed her, trying to stop her from moving forward.
Teenagers are fearless, and faced with the strange puppet that kills people without hesitation, they did not retreat at all. Instead, they rushed forward under the buff of CPA.
Shalu showed the disgusted expression of a human being who wakes up in the middle of the night and sees a mosquito leisurely sliding past his eyes.
She wanted to kill all the humans in front of her, but the abilities of these people were so slippery that it was difficult to catch them.
This model must be destroyed.
Gu Qingming's thoughts were in a mess, and this was the only sentence left in his mind.
The tip of the bronze spear hit the mysterious protective shell hard. He tried to find the state of super-high power output of EN factor that appeared when he faced the cheongsam girl before, and gather it at a small point, but the messy thoughts were brushing in front of his eyes, making it impossible for him to concentrate on guiding it.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone's voice, coming from the distant and vague distance, and going towards the end of time.
"So this is your choice? Obviously... there's still time."
It was calm and indifferent, yet tinged with a hint of deep worry.
What...choice? What...is in time?
His consciousness suddenly began to become blurred. In the blur, the blood and cold wind blowing in his face seemed to tell him that that was the past he had experienced.
Amidst the distant and vague pain, Gu Qingming struggled to open his eyes. His eyes had turned completely green, with the shadows of swimming snakes wandering in them.
He finally found that familiar feeling.
"Rune, rune—"
Zheng Qiuji was muttering the knowledge he had learned from the rune class. His special ability was the power of words, which was similar to the principles of runes and formations. Therefore, out of interest and hobby, he learned a lot from his predecessors on the CPA official website during his daily tasks.
He quickly ran to the side of the master of the secret realm who was imprisoned by rune chains. The young man, who originally had the appearance of Qin Zhen, could not even maintain his mimicry under the influence of the rune chains and was forced to return to the form of a beast.
It was a very beautiful, huge four-legged monster.
It is over one meter tall at the shoulders, as big as a tiger, and its entire body is snow-white, with wave-like aqua blue lines at the corners of its eyes, neck, and back.
However, the blue water was stained with dirty black, which was obviously the pollution of evil spirits.
But now is not the time to appreciate beauty. Zheng Qiuji placed his hand on the rune chain that trapped the monster, and the latter cooperated with him to facilitate his analysis.
Confucius said, Confucius said, the old sage must have said something useful in this situation.
Zheng Qiuji forced himself to calm down and tried to add some help to the battle situation.
Ayi and Chu Zhongyuan threw away their image and fought with Sha desperately. Luo Dong seemed to have forgotten that he was a nanny. He used the characteristics of his supernatural powers to turn himself into a sniper. He shot white light bullets that eliminated the healing effect and only left the pain at Sha. Although the latter could not feel the pain, it was still able to interrupt her continuous movements and save her a few chances of life.
The whole picture actually looks a bit like the passion of a young manga.
“Wow! I’m dying, I’m dying!”
While Chu Zhongyuan was shouting that he wanted to die, fluorescent water waves were flying everywhere in the space. He had never used teleportation with such a high frequency. Often, before the en factor tide in the previous place had receded, he had already arrived at the next place.
"Noisy!"
The wood carving knife in Sha's hand was like a deadly ghost at this moment. He predicted the approximate location where Chu Zhongyuan would appear in the next second with absolute accuracy and stabbed him mercilessly.
Ayi was so scared that he pulled the purple five-poison thread taut, which just managed to make the opponent slightly deviate in direction and only scratched Chu Zhongyuan's shoulder.
When he was really injured, Chu Zhongyuan stopped screaming and instead hit the other person on the head with a long piece of bread. The solidified space collided with the hard wood, making a sound of metal hitting each other.
"Oh, what a pity. It seems you have a very strong neck."
Chu Zhongyuan is a big talker.
He Bo, who was trapped on the side, looked at Chu Zhongyuan, and thought of the four-legged beast whose head was knocked off by the other party. He inexplicably saw a trace of madness in the high school student in front of him.
After knowing that those four-legged animals were puppets designed by Koizumi based on himself, He Bo suddenly felt empty in his head.
Chu Zhongyuan did not linger in the fight. After a successful attack, he quickly moved to another position.
Sha wanted to end the battle quickly, but the three high school students cooperated well with each other and were so fearless that he was unable to break free for a while and could only be tripped in place.
But her four-legged animal puppets were all in the well at the moment, becoming the source of energy for her to refine the entire secret realm, so it could only be one-on-many.
However, the combat experience between the two was too different after all. After Chu Zhongyuan used his supernatural powers for a long time, he inevitably could not concentrate his full attention like he did at the beginning.
Chu Zhongyuan missed the target by a hair's breadth. He didn't have time to teleport and was pinned to the ground by the puppet who seized the opportunity. His already injured shoulder hit the gravel-covered ground hard, causing pain in his bones.
It's too much.
Chu Zhongyuan looked at the pale mask that was so close to him and cried out in pain.
The Nine Nether Mirror has a shortcoming. When teleporting, anyone who has physical contact with the owner will be moved together. This means that even if he teleports under Sha's control, it will be useless.
Chu Zhongyuan wanted to break free, but the other party was a puppet after all, and was so strong that even a high school student like him who claimed to have been exercising all year round for the physical education college entrance examination had no chance of breaking free.
Is this the mysterious world?
"As young humans, you have indeed been successful, but this is the end of it."
As Sha spoke, he raised the carving knife in his hand high and chopped towards Chu Zhongyuan's solar plexus, with no regret in his eyes.
She is like a programmed robot. Although she has intelligence, she will only stubbornly keep moving forward, even if that is very wrong.
Ayi wanted to tighten the Five Poisonous Silk, but Chu Zhongyuan was restrained at the moment. Even if Sha's knife deflected further, Chu Zhongyuan would be in great danger.
Her and Luo Dong's minds went blank.
"jingle--"
Before Sha's knife stabbed down, a distant bell sound came vaguely through the layers of space.
“Crack.”
What followed was a thorough sound like glass shattering.
Gu Qingming stood there swayingly, his eyes seemed to be burning with green flames, and the bronze spear in his hand went straight through the seemingly indestructible model.
“Crack.”
Tidal tree-like cracks quickly spread across the wooden model, passing through the small hole pierced by the spear tip and gradually spreading throughout the entire model.
Outside the secret realm, under the light of night, among the shadows, in the real world's Shuhe town, the CPA team that rushed to the rescue was trying to violently dismantle the entrance to the secret realm in the center of the town, but found that the entrance, which should have been tightly closed, had a crack, as if it had been chopped by something.
"It seems that my colleagues in the secret realm succeeded."
The CPA specialist nearby stood up, and the short-haired woman pushed away the broken pieces of light, revealing a bottomless darkness behind that was like a space door.
According to the CPA data network, in addition to hundreds of innocent ordinary people trapped in the secret realm, the rescue targets also include five Lantai City CPA specialists who can maintain normal operations in the secret realm.
The local CPA specialist recognized at a glance that these colleagues were probably forced to work overtime for unknown reasons while traveling, and felt a little sympathetic.
A large number of CPAs came this time, because the fact that the voluntarily bound Shuhe Hebo was sealed in the secret realm is known to almost everyone in the CPA department here. Even with Shuhe Hebo present, the trapped colleagues still sent out requests for reinforcements and help, so what they are facing must be quite tricky.
What's more, there are many trapped people and they need a lot of manpower.
"Saving people is important, let's go!"
She waved her hand, signaling the pioneer CPA rescue team behind her to follow, and rushed into the endless darkness behind the entrance.
In the well at the center of the secret realm, He Bo sealed the place.
"How is that possible?!"
Sha could no longer remain as calm as a piece of wood. She screamed and the hatred in her bloodshot eyes grew deeper.
Sha looked at Chu Zhongyuan suddenly, with a hatred as if he wanted to skin him alive, and the carving knife in his hand dropped suddenly.
But at the moment the secret realm model was destroyed, not only did Gu Qingming succeed in his attempt, but Zheng Qiuji also removed several gaps from the complete rune.
For Shuhe Hebo, who was once a god, as long as there is a gap, he can break free from the chains.
At the critical moment, the huge four-legged beast slammed the black-robed puppet away.
He Bo's movements were somewhat uncoordinated. After all, he was also very surprised that Gu Qingming could actually destroy the model of Sha's countless secret techniques. He was originally prepared...
Not only is Sha's model difficult to destroy, but after a certain period of time it will even automatically activate a pre-set mode, automatically refining the entire secret realm into her power. This is why Sha was not in a hurry after her model was taken away.
But unexpectedly, Gu Qingming was so terrifying that he directly pierced the model with the bronze spear, making the automatic activation a joke.
After He Bo knocked Sha down, he picked up Chu Zhongyuan and threw him to the other side where it was safe.
Chu Zhongyuan, who had escaped from the clutches of death, even had time to joke: "Brother, be gentle! Osteoporosis makes the bones brittle and easy to break."
He Bo rolled his eyes at the other person and recovered from his shock.
The well maintained a clear balance, but the secret realm was shaking violently as the bound model was about to shatter and suffer the same fate.
Noisy footsteps came from all directions, and distant shouts came one after another.
Everyone present realized that the CPA force had arrived.
Sha also realized how unfavorable the current situation was. She did not care about revenge for her plan. She stood up suddenly from the ground and crushed a blue spherical crystal in her hand in an instant. The next second, thick blue smoke enveloped her figure, and Chu Zhongyuan felt the prelude of the space being opened.
"She's going to use the energy condensation to run away! Habaek! Bite her!"
Superpower condensates are the crystallized remains of the EN factor after the death of a superpower. When the body of each superpower is active, the EN factor is dynamically stored in the human body as the superpower circulates. However, when the human body dies, in a short period of time before the blood has cooled down, the EN factor that has lost its circulation power will quickly condense outside the human body and turn into a crystal form.
This kind of crystal is called a superpower condensate. It can enable any superpower user to use the power of a dead superpower user. The number of times it can be used depends on the strength and rarity of the dead superpower user's power.
The crystal that Sha used without hesitation was obviously the condensation of the supernatural power of a certain unlucky space-time supernatural being.
Although it sounded strange, He Bo still rushed out when he saw Chu Zhongyuan, whose body was covered in blood and whose face was pale and scary. He bit the puppet's body with his sharp mouth, as if he wanted to bite her in half.
