Chapter 77: Fantasy Realm
A person with supernatural powers who is said to be "unfathomable" may have countless cards that are enough to break this dilemma.
But what if it’s just an ordinary person?
I would probably be pointed at and scolded for being delusional.
However, such a fantastic thing happened when no one knew about it.
A familiar pulling feeling came over him, Bai Ri closed his eyes, and obediently was pushed into that fantasy world.
At that moment, it was as if I had lost my body and only my soul was falling. The air brushed across my cheeks and a strong feeling of weightlessness lingered in my heart.
He didn't know how much time passed. When he opened his eyes and looked around, he was already standing on the ground. The black fog and the clash of weapons are a familiar scene.
It's just familiarity from another perspective.
I was teleported to the vicinity of the vest.
He stared at the black fog. Not far away, he heard hurried footsteps, accompanied by the shrill screams of cultists and the shouts of employees.
"Stop him! Don't let this monster get away!!"
"If it wanted to run, it would have run a long time ago! There is only black fog in this direction, why would it run this way?"
"This group of monsters came out of the black fog, so if they want to escape, they should go back through the black fog. I don't understand why they want to run here specifically!"
"No, over there..." Hearing the confused shouts of the employees, Si Yu'an felt that this place was more and more familiar. In a flash, he reacted: "Captain, hasn't Xiao Heng been teleported out yet?"
"No."
Lin Muyu followed beside him, calming his breathing, his brows having been furrowed since a while ago.
"I don't know. I didn't get a precise answer from above. They just told me to focus on the battle and not get distracted."
Time passed little by little. He took advantage of the short break to ask, but got such an unclear answer... Unfortunately, something happened again the next second. He had to give up asking and continue fighting.
But such a simple answer was useless except for increasing his uneasiness. In order not to make his teammates worry, Lin Muyu did not tell them.
"Are you kidding me? How long has Xiao Heng been in the black fog? If he doesn't teleport out, something bad will happen!"
This answer obviously ignited the anxiety in his teammates. Si and An turned around in disbelief, wishing they could tear off the captain's headset and contact him personally. Their exhausted spirits were instantly refreshed by their anger.
"Even if he is closest to the black fog, it shouldn't take so long to get him out, right? What do you mean by saying something so ambiguous?"
"Calm down first." Ye Yunhe's heart also sank. "Unless it is absolutely necessary, the government will not give up any superpowers. Captain, please contact the higher-ups again. We will cover for you."
"Don't worry for now. At worst you can still try my special abilities." She took a deep breath and said in a panic.
"Okay, calm down too."
Lin Muyu quickly agreed, steadied his body while running, and raised his hand to press the headset to make a call.
The cultists in front suddenly attacked, changing their defensive strategy and starting to move forward vigorously. They ignored the fact that their bodies were hooked by several white weapons, endured the pain, and ran straight towards the black fog.
It happened to be the piece that swallowed Qi Heng.
This is too weird.
It wasn't just the black fog that made the protagonists feel subconsciously uneasy, the monster's behavior was also obviously out of character, as if... someone was giving it orders.
The initial encirclement and suppression was not smooth. It was too difficult to capture a large research subject alive, not to mention that this monster was previously a human being, possessing the same intelligence as them, and recovery abilities and aggressiveness far beyond ordinary people.
They wanted to give up the plan to capture it alive and kill it quickly, but at the critical moment, the cultist seemed to have a last breath, broke free from the restraints of the crowd, and ran in the opposite direction for his life. Along the way, he deliberately avoided the surrounding black fog and acted with a clear goal.
How can you let the duck that has been caught fly away? Still a duck with bad intentions.
Regardless of whether the monster's purpose is to escape or it has some plans for the black fog, as long as there are teammates inside, the protagonists will spare no effort to keep the monster, no matter what the cost.
"Yuan, I leave it to you."
"rest assured."
Energy surged and gathered at the limbs, and in an instant even the dead leaves around him were shocked, causing a wave of leaves.
Si Yuan leaned forward, his muscles ready to go, his eyes raised to stare at the monster in front of him. The next moment, the man left the ground and rushed forward, leaving only the wind that had not yet reacted.
The greatsword gathered in the air and was lifted up and swung with great force. The alarm rang suddenly, and the cultist looked in horror, only to see that the enemy from a long distance away had appeared beside him at some point, and was waving his weapon at him.
“——”
The back of the sword hit the cultist hard, stopping its actions in the most violent and effective way, and knocking the monster several meters away, creating a distance between it and the black fog.
The others followed closely behind, the chains wrapped around the monster's limbs, several bright white lights flashed, and they were once again firmly embedded in the cultist's body, the flashing energy light brought severe pain.
A faint blue energy light floated around Si and An. After penetrating into them, it reversed the time and restored their exhausted bodies' energy, allowing them to fight again.
Everyone held their breath, wary of the monster's self-destruction.
But nothing happened except for the crazy screams and desperate struggles. The cultists trapped in the center just squirmed, rubbing their huge bodies against the ground, trying to crawl towards the black fog. Those dark eyes suddenly burst out with a strong determination at this moment.
The screams were so blood-curdling and weeping, a hundred times more tragic than ever before, hurting the eardrums of those who were bystanders. It was like the final despair of a dying person who could not return home, and the fear of a lost person falling into the abyss. It made people feel a strong and strange emotion and a heavy chest.
It is so deformed that it no longer looks like a human being, but it looks very much like a human being.
It was extremely embarrassing and weird.
"…What's going on?"
Fearing that this was a trap set by the monster, everyone was cautious and did not move forward. Instead, they held their weapons tightly and trapped it in the center.
Suddenly, the continuous screaming stopped abruptly, and the struggling monster stopped abruptly, its eyes fixed on the black fog, and it stayed on the ground in a ridiculous posture, no longer moving.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, it just stood there, as if it had discovered something. Its dark pupils shrank rapidly, as if it was extremely frightened.
It was as if the pause button had been released. The next second, it began to struggle frantically again, but it no longer screamed. As if it was afraid of disturbing someone, it just used its deformed body to desperately wriggle in the opposite direction. That wrinkled face was changing with torn emotions, and his mind and body seemed to be in two different places.
Everyone was stunned, and began brainstorming as they watched the cultist's attitude change so quickly.
Lin Muyu's hand pressing on the headset froze, and he looked a little confused.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he seemed to sense something and turned to look.
Behind the black fog, there was a person who had been hiding for a long time, hiding in the shadows and watching this farce.
None of the elites present knew his whereabouts, and were only surprised to find out after the young man showed up.
Under the moonlight, Bai Ri stood at the edge of the black fog, smiling as they looked back in disbelief, as if they didn't know what they had done.
"——Mr. Bai Zhou!" someone shouted.
The young man was too close to the black fog, so close that it made him feel uneasy.
The beautiful face was obscured by the black air, looming in the night, and even the arms were almost shrouded in mist. In a trance, it seemed as if we had become one.
But he didn't care at all, his eyes were calm, he just slightly curved his eyes when he heard the call and walked slowly towards the crowd.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the black fog stood obediently where it was, allowing the daylight to pass by. It showed none of the aggressiveness it should have towards others, and even the terrifying aura that wanted to devour everything disappeared.
Bai Ri stopped and looked down at the monster curled up and trembling on the ground, and his guess was confirmed.
The cultists' worship of the black fog is almost insane, and they have conducted many experiments to try to combine humans with the black fog and artificially create a carrier of "god".
No one knows that this black fog originated from external forces and was a toy cast by an unknown person who had occupied the nest of poison birds. Today's world consciousness is still young and is powerless to stop such actions.
But what if it is just a half-finished product that is neither human nor ghost?
Bai Ri stared at the monster's deformed body and facial features twisted together with fear.
Even though the ball of light is relatively weak, the innate ability of the world consciousness will allow it to expel external forces invisibly, intimidate non-human souls, and make monsters frightened and timid.
The daytime, which is close to the ball of light, is naturally tainted with a few traces of its scent.
Really, he hadn't originally planned to reveal this ability so soon.
The young man sighed slightly, ignoring the increasingly panicked cultists below, and just raised his eyes slightly to look elsewhere.
"Come back to your senses." Bai Zhou suddenly spoke.
Almost subconsciously, the employees who were still in shock shuddered, their relaxed consciousness instantly tensed up, and they quietly waited for the young man's orders.
The cultists on the ground fell into a coma and no longer had the ability to self-destruct.
But the young man reached out and touched the chain, signaling to remove the supernatural power, thus depriving them of the right to enjoy the spoils.
"Your mission has been accomplished. Now, put away your weapons and leave the illusion immediately."
"Mr. Bai Zhou?! This--" someone exclaimed.
But before he could finish his words, he was severely rebuked by another person, forcibly interrupting his speech: "Don't question it!"
The man put away his weapon first, and the white hook-like spike returned to its place with a crisp sound.
She simply nodded to Bai Zhou and took out the assigned teleportation talisman without hesitation. The talisman moved automatically without wind and teleported the person away the moment it burned.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and took out their talismans and used them, teleporting out one after another, without questioning the unknown order.
Soon, there were only four people left on the land.
Bai Zhou quietly watched the three familiar people, still smiling, as if he knew everything about their actions.
"...Sorry, we just have a question and we have to ask it anyway." Seeing that the young man had no unusual expression, Lin Muyu felt relieved and asked quickly.
"Our teammate, Qi Heng, is still trapped in the black fog. Are you going to rescue him?"
Three pairs of bright and uneasy eyes stared at the daytime, trying to find a definite answer.
Ah, you actually trust me this much?
Bai Zhou lowered his eyes and smiled, nodding gently: "Yes, so don't worry. I have never failed in anything I want to do."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"But the boy's condition is not optimistic. If we delay any further..."
"Ah! Sorry, we'll leave now!!" Si Yu'an was shocked when he heard that, and immediately pulled out the wrinkled teleportation talisman from his pocket and held it tightly in his palm to use.
Ye Yunhe's eyebrows relaxed, and her anxious heart finally rested for a moment: "Thank you very much."
The last three people also disappeared on the spot.
The illusion seemed lonely for a moment.
Calculating the remaining time, Bai Zhou couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, the light ball and the vest are not human, otherwise, after so much time, they would have been marinated by the black fog.
Of course, the most important thing is the physical strength of the illusionist. I wonder if the large bottle of mana-replenishing potion I fed him before leaving is effective. Along the way, this psychic has suffered no less damage than anyone else.
There is no time to waste...but there is no reason not to open a gift that has been delivered to your door.
"So, the uninvited outsider is not going to show up yet?"
The hem of his windbreaker rustled as he tilted his head to look into the bottomless darkness and spoke loudly.
The smile on his lips disappeared, and his sight was chilled by the cold wind.
"My patience is running out."
