Chapter 76
"You may have forgotten what you did to these two girls before." Although this was not the reason why he took off his vest.
In fact, from the moment they met today, Yuheng vaguely sensed the aura of Qiongqi. At that time, he instinctively thought that the one with the problem was Fang Ying, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Xuan.
Judging from the current situation, Qiongqi had probably possessed Lin Xuan from the very beginning. Was it a deliberate trap set up to target Yuheng? No... it was targeting Fenghuang.
Fang Ying was bewildered. She looked at her stranger friends, then at her boss. "No, are you guys playing some weird role-playing game? I don't understand a word you're saying."
There were people coming and going here, and many people cast curious glances at them, but no one noticed the danger. They just thought they were playing a trick, just like Fang Ying.
"No wonder, no wonder... If it were you, it would be natural for the operation to fail." Qiongqi controlled Lin Xuan's body to break free from the restraints. He took out two weights from his bag and threw them onto the scale with his backhand.
You Lin instinctively rushed out and kicked them away, only to see Qiongqi smile with a look of triumph. With the crisp sound of the weights falling to the ground, the goddess statue suddenly came to life and reached out to grab You Lin's ankle.
"What!" You Lin was shocked. He used his hand as a knife to cut off the wrist of the stone statue and quickly jumped back to Yuheng.
"Lord Phoenix, since this is our first meeting, I don't have anything good to give you, so I've prepared a small gift here. I hope you don't mind." Perhaps she was disgusted by herself, Qiongqi no longer pretended to be a girl, and saluted Yuheng nonchalantly.
"You've gone through so much trouble, possessing the little girl and luring us here. What exactly do you want to do?" Yuheng looked at Qiongqi quietly and mobilized the energy in his body.
"Sir, with all due respect, everything we do now is for the sake of the demon race. You were once the most trusted person by His Majesty's side. You must know where the Heavenly Secret Lock is, right?"
He actually came for the lock.
The most trusted person around the Demon King, the identity assigned by the system... No, Yuheng is really awesome.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Yuheng still looked calm. He lowered his eyes and gently pinched the handle of his fan: "No comment."
"It's okay. We expected this. If you come with us, you'll understand what we're doing. But you probably don't know that your dear friend, Lord Long Zun, is also here with us."
You Lin suddenly raised his head and pierced Qiongqi with his cold eyes.
A large number of strange devices had been deployed in the gymnasium, and under Qiongqi's manipulation, all of them activated simultaneously. Under the influence of strange energy, a strange domain was created out of thin air.
A twisted, bizarre world appeared before everyone. It felt like a children's playground, with all sorts of bizarre toys scattered across the ground. The floor, the walls, and everything else seemed made of soft wool. The shapes of the space were no longer the usual squares, but rather brimming with childlike imagination.
At this time, people finally realized that something was wrong and struggled to escape, but it was too late. This was a completely sealed space with no exit. They ran in one direction in the space and eventually returned to where they came from.
Some people tried to break down the wall, some began to break down and cry, and some cursed this harsh world.
Like a stop-motion animation, black wool continuously emerged from the ground, intermittently, and then formed a messy monster.
This was Fang Ying's first time seeing such a scene, and her face turned pale with fear. She was trembling all over, her mind blank, unable to speak or move.
"I remember, I remember, I remember..." A man stared blankly at the strange things, his expression blank, but tears of blood suddenly welled up in his eyes. He murmured, "I remember, there are monsters in this world, there are monsters! Monsters are right next to us!"
"Our families, relatives, and friends all died at the hands of monsters!"
He wasn't the only one; others in the strange realm were falling into madness, their piercing screams echoing one after another. Undoubtedly, these were people who had experienced strange events and had their memories erased. Under the strange stimulation, memories that had been forgotten by hypnosis suddenly revived, overlapping with the scene before their eyes.
The disadvantage of the Ability Bureau's use of hypnosis to seal memories is revealed here.
"You know, the more you suppress fear, the greater its rebound will be." Qiongqi smiled and took out an hourglass-shaped strange weapon from the void. Endless fear emerged from people and was sucked into the hourglass, turning into black sand inside.
A part of it was separated and sprinkled on the woolen monster, so they combined into an extremely huge existence, and the energy index continued to rise.
"Boss!" Fang Ying finally managed to say something. She panicked and grabbed Yuheng's sleeve, "Boss, Xuanxuan!"
"We will rescue her." Yuheng said softly.
You Lin stared sharply at the enormous woolen creature, then raised his hand and summoned a spear. The spear was pitch black, devoid of any decoration or pattern, as if deliberately erased, or simply formed from energy. He aimed at the creature and charged forward without a word.
At the same time, Yuheng quickly took action to protect all these ordinary people, and the fiery red energy shield created a safe area here.
Watching You Lin charging forward, Yu Heng couldn't help but sigh at the level of chemistry between him and him. You Lin's first reaction was to fight, while his first reaction was to protect these ordinary people. This, by chance, resulted in a perfect coordination.
You Lin didn't use his demonic power. He seemed to have endless strength, swinging his spear and chasing after the strange creature. His attacks dug several large holes into the soft ground.
This feeling of being so strong and powerful that it could move mountains and conquer the world is very similar to Zhu Chang'an.
"Damn it, where the hell did you come from?" Qiongqi grew increasingly frightened as the fight continued. His original form was now damaged, forcing him to use the little girl's body. Even if this body was healthy, it would still be incredibly weak against the demon race, lacking much combat power. Fortunately, the other party was also cautious, only attacking Mao Xianguiyi.
Qiongqi was at a disadvantage, and You Lin didn't gain any advantage. This strange creature seemed to be specifically designed to defeat him. Its body was so soft that a single shot from it wouldn't even damage its core. Its woolen body was enough to absorb most of his force.
Everything here is soft, even the weird things, and they cannot cause any physical damage to each other.
When You Lin was once again defeated and swept aside, a fiery red energy accurately hit the spot where he had just been struck. Yu Heng walked over to him and pulled him up.
The energy used by Yuheng does carry some fire elements, but these are just ordinary fires, far less powerful than the fire generated by the feathers.
Although everything in this strange area looked like it was made of ordinary wool, ordinary flames could not ignite it. The attack only burned the strange body briefly, causing no damage to it.
"It seems you came prepared." Not only did he know Yu Heng's attributes clearly, he even maxed out his magic and physical resistances. Whether using supernatural powers or brute force, he couldn't break this strange domain in a short time.
But the strange domain set up by Qiongqi could not pose any threat to them except trapping them here. The woolen monster was just a large supercharged doll to them, and even Qiongqi itself had no attack power.
So both sides were at a stalemate.
You Lin gripped his spear tightly in confusion: "Qiongqi went to so much trouble, and this is all he got?"
This action does not look like a fight, or Qiongqi's purpose was not to defeat Yuheng.
"It wants to delay."
Detain Yuheng? But what's the matter...
Yuheng suddenly stopped, and an incredible guess appeared in his mind.
It’s broken, the main body!
…
At the same time, the mad old bear finally regained some sanity under the influence of the "love" of the three people, and lay on the ground exhausted.
The three of them were having a rough time. Although they had dealt with many high-level monsters before and had some experience, the old bear was, after all, a great demon that had lived for over three thousand years. Even if it had gone mad and lost its intelligence, the three of them were almost in trouble. Fortunately, Mo Xuanji finally woke him up at the last moment.
Zhu Changan covered his arm with tears in his eyes: "If I had known earlier, I would have brought more food before leaving today."
He had always been confident in his own strength, and even considered challenging the old bear in a duel. But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you'll get your feet wet. Compared to the old bear, Zhu Changan's strength was slightly inferior, and the enraged brown bear nearly broke his arm.
Shen Liuxue sat aside and tore off a piece of bandage to treat his wound. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but it looked a little scary.
Maybe the old bear intended to stop, this time Mo Xuanji's condition was actually the best, and apart from being exhausted, there was basically no impact.
At this time, Mo Xuanji was distracted by thinking about Qiongqi's purpose and did not notice the danger coming from behind him.
After a moment of dizziness, Mo Xuanji finally came to his senses. He belatedly realized that the strange party might be targeting him, but it was too late.
Mo Xuanji uncontrollably transformed back into his demon form. The puppeteer, who had only appeared once in the comics, grasped him in one hand and brought him closer for a closer inspection. From this angle, Mo Xuanji could only see the other's slightly raised lips.
"Qiongqi said that a dragon and a phoenix had a child. I didn't believe it at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Xuan Ji!"
"What do you want to do, you bastard! Let him go!" Zhu Changan stood up and attacked the puppeteer, but was knocked away by the puppet next to him.
Just as Shen Liuxue was about to move, she discovered that a thin string had appeared on the joints of her limbs. The puppeteer's fingers moved slightly, and she knelt down uncontrollably, unable to move. The same was true for Zhu Changan beside her.
"Ji!" Mo Xuanji struggled desperately and even bit the puppeteer with her mouth, but the puppeteer seemed to feel no pain. Not only did he not react at all, he even looked in a good mood.
Mo Xuanji only felt a cold breath flowing through his body, and his whole body ached.
"Yes, you do have the power of a dragon within you." The puppeteer seemed very satisfied, but after completing the investigation, he suddenly frowned: "How is it possible... Why didn't you inherit any of the power of the phoenix?"
"Ji!" What a pity it is that there is no one!
"You're white... That's right, a phoenix can't be white, so you can't possibly possess the power of a phoenix." The puppeteer's voice suddenly turned cold. "What a shame! I thought it would be a rare miracle."
“Ahem…”
"If I turn you into a puppet too..."
"Do you want to attack the master's offspring?" A hand suddenly grabbed the puppeteer's shoulder. Unexpectedly, it was Ji Chen.
The puppeteer stared at him for a moment, then suddenly and tenderly released his grip on Mo Xuanji's hand, holding him with his palm. He even patted Xiaoji's head lovingly, "How could that be? I respect you so much, how could I possibly harm his bloodline? I was just trying to scare a disobedient child."
What he said sounded like the truth. If it weren't for the obvious malice just now, I'm afraid Mo Xuanji would really believe it.
There was definitely something wrong with this puppeteer.
"Don't forget the purpose of our trip." This reason seemed reasonable, so Ji Chen had to let him go.
