Chapter 64 64. Crisis
Even though Xu Zhi acted like a fool, the woman did not loosen her grip on her. It was not because she was wary, but because she simply ignored Xu Zhi's request.
The two men forced Xu Zhi to climb the stairs and reached the top floor.
Xu Zhi sighed as she climbed. If it were her old self, she wouldn't even have thought about escaping. Just climbing these eight floors could have cost her life.
The woman escorting her didn't look very strong, but she climbed eight floors effortlessly. It turned out that these fanatics had good physical fitness.
But why on the top floor?
Xu Zhi watched with curiosity as the man pushed open the door to the top floor. A breeze blew into the corridor, carrying a black mist. The hair on Xu Zhi's shoulders was blown up a little by the wind, and she also smelled the smell of blood coming with the wind.
Then she saw about six or seven fanatics sitting or standing on the top floor, three blindfolded, tied up and unconscious people in the corner, and a ritual pattern that Xu Zhi found very familiar, outlined by a large amount of blood on the ground.
Isn’t this the pattern in the cafeteria of the affiliated high school?
However, there are subtle differences. The area of the top floor is smaller than that of the cafeteria, and the pattern is relatively small, but more delicate. There are not so many body parts on the ground, but only patterns outlined in blood.
Xu Zhi felt a subtle dizziness when she saw this pattern. It was not particularly strong, but she did feel a kind of "spiritual pollution" from this pattern, and even the flow of extraordinary energy in her body became obscure.
Of course, only a little.
"Cover her eyes so she won't be contaminated before the ceremony even begins."
A man with normal eyes like the woman gave the order. Hearing this, Xu Zhi did not struggle. She obediently let her eyes be blindfolded when someone walked towards her with a cloth strip, and then her hands were tied with a hemp rope.
"He's quite obedient, unlike them, who have to be knocked unconscious before they become obedient."
The man giving the orders was slightly surprised by this scene: "Tie her up and throw her over too. How many more people are needed now?"
"Only one left." someone answered.
In Xu Zhi's opinion, this way of imprisoning extraordinary people was not cautious enough. For example, if she wanted to break free, she only needed to exert a little force. This group of people was not afraid that the captured extraordinary people would rebel.
But on second thought, even she felt uncomfortable when she saw the pattern, and other weaker superhumans would probably be affected even more. If they wanted to avoid seeing the pattern, they would need to blindfold their eyes. The superhumans themselves were not particularly strong at this stage, and they had lost their vision. There were also enough guards here, so the threat was indeed not great.
However, before blindfolding herself, Xu Zhiyou saw the three people who fainted, but she had no impression of them at all. You know, with her current memory, even if she only met someone once, she would still feel somewhat familiar when meeting them again.
This means she has never seen these three people before.
Could it be that her leeks have been killed?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhi asked directly: "Can I ask what you are doing?"
Her question was beyond the expectations of all the fanatics. There was silence for two seconds, and then someone said, "Should we knock her out too?"
"Okay, go ahead."
No, isn't it so decisive?
According to the routine of novels, movies and TV dramas, shouldn't you show off to me?
Xu Zhi couldn't hold it any longer. She broke the hemp rope that bound her wrists, ripped off the cloth covering her eyes, and yelled, "Xiao Zhen! Kill them all!"
Before she even finished her words, at the moment when Xu Zhi exerted her muscles to break the hemp rope, a figure like white lightning swooped down from the sky and kicked the head of the fanatic closest to Xu Zhi with one claw. When she finished her words, the other party had already fallen right in front of her.
"So smart." Xu Zhi praised with a smile.
She actually wanted to have some communication with these fanatics, such as asking what this formation was used for, but things never developed like they did in TV dramas, and she felt a little distressed about it.
The sudden change made several fanatics panic, but the man with normal eyes did not. He shouted: "Quick, start the ceremony immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a bottle of bright red liquid in the middle of the formation. Then, a red light shot up from the formation, and the same red light appeared on the roofs of several buildings on the edge of the community as if in response. If Xu Zhi had a God's perspective to see the position of these red lights, he would find that they formed a five-pointed star, and this building was right in the middle of the five-pointed star.
The woman's voice came intermittently: "Insufficient preparation. If you fail..."
"I don't care about that anymore!" the man roared, a hint of pain in his voice.
The moment the red light appeared, Xu Zhi felt a strong spiritual pollution entering her mind. She wanted to vomit for a moment, but it was only for a moment. The next moment, a gray moth appeared in her sight, flapping its wings slightly, and then the twisted pollution disappeared from her mind, as if it had never existed. Only the fearful feeling just now and the slightly cool and wet back soaked with cold sweat remained.
Xiao Zhen flew back to her side to be on guard the moment the red light appeared. It seemed that it was not affected by the red light. Not only it, but the alien in the pocket also poked its head out slightly and looked around curiously.
There was nothing wrong with the two clansmen. Xu Zhi turned to look at the three fainted transcendents, but found that their condition was quite miserable.
Large amounts of blood were constantly flowing out of all seven orifices, and the blood merged into the formation on the ground, as if an invisible mouth was devouring the blood of these people. In fact, not only these extraordinary people, but even the fanatical believers were constantly pumping blood into the formation.
This seems to be a ritual that does not distinguish between friend and foe.
But why is she okay?
In less than ten seconds, the blood in the bodies of the three extraordinary people had been drained, and the red light became brighter and brighter, accompanied by the screams of the rational fanatic.
You don't need to ask to know that all her leeks must have died.
The only two people still standing on the top floor were Xu Zhi and the man who was wailing in pain. Xu Zhi took out the Tang sword from the warehouse without hesitation and ordered Xiao Zhen: "Kill him!"
But what was beyond Xu Zhi's expectations was that her and Xiao Zhen's attacks did have an effect on each other, but a huge amount of blood gushed out of the opponent's wounds and dripped onto the ground, which was absorbed by the formation. Then, the blood immediately healed itself quickly, and this process took less than a second.
"What monster?"
Xu Zhi immediately activated her [Eye of Insight]. The moment her gaze fell on the man, the extraordinary energy output, which was several times stronger than before, allowed her to see a surprising scene.
A burning red flame was jumping in the man's heart. Countless red threads connected to his heart from the ground were continuously supplying him with the power of the [Cup], and the flame was slowly expanding.
The alien in his pocket was twisting restlessly. If Xu Zhi took out his game console and clicked on its attribute chart at this moment, he would find that the level of [Restlessness] was increasing at an unprecedented speed.
Level 2 → Level 3 → Level 4
.Big failure of work and rest schedule!
I slept until midnight today and then woke up. Then my head felt so groggy that I couldn’t write anything qaq
