No wonder this guy lured them here. Song Yang wanted to kill Aransta, and the first step was to stuff him into the study. It seems there is indeed a deadly trap in this study. Song Yang was fine when he entered the study before. Was it because the trap was immune to him, or because nothing else was triggered?
Under Song Yang's control, Aransta climbed into the study and, using the moonlight from the window, groped around on the bookshelves, quickly pulling out a book with a black cover.
Song Yang was trying to control Aransta to open the book, but suddenly an unexpected change occurred. A scythe flew out from the study. Song Yang was focused on Aransta and didn't have time to use [Dominate]. His entire right arm was severed at the root!
"hiss--"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aransta quickly closed his eyes, held up the book in his hand, and opened it to face the window!
Song Yang immediately closed his eyes, made a grasping motion in front of him, and in an instant, the black-covered book was in his hand, facing Aransta directly. At the same moment, the scythe swung again, this time severing his left hand!
This situation lasted for less than a second before reversing again! Aransta's hands were instantly severed, while Song Yang's injuries were completely healed. He had stolen Aransta's physical condition, and the continuous theft had left Song Yang mentally exhausted. He couldn't care less about the books on the ground and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard wall, wanting to leave this place!
At the same time, he waved his hands behind his back, stealing the scythe's ability to move, and shouted loudly, trying to attract the guards in the mayor's house!
"Thief! Stop thief!"
Lights came on around them one after another. Seeing that Song Yang was about to escape, Aransta was really out of options. As for losing both hands, it didn't matter. As long as he could get back alive, it was a minor issue.
Song Yang admitted that he had underestimated Aransta. There were only two people he truly took seriously: Jiang Ran and Arceus. Only when neither of them was present did Song Yang dare to directly attack and kill Aransta, because he did not essentially regard him as an equal opponent!
The flying scythe completely disrupted his plans. No matter how much Song Yang underestimated Aransta, he at least knew that such a person existed. As for this scythe, which was only at the [King of Ghosts] level, he had even forgotten that there was such a guy in the other party's team!
Sometimes, having a low profile isn't a bad thing.
Fortunately, with his skills, escaping shouldn't be a problem.
Just as Song Yang was thinking this, a dark gun barrel was pointed at his head!
On the mountain?! No! How could he be here?!
Even on the mountain, this moment stunned Song Yang, as blue silk threads had already bound him tightly!
It turns out that when he first arrived at the tavern, Arceus tried to use [Remnant Dream] to restore his memories of that period, but he couldn't, so he changed his approach.
He first changed the reality that he "could not use [Remnant Dream] to restore his memories," and then used [Remnant Dream] to change reality again, thus restoring his memories.
This reminded him of everything! They first discovered Yamashita's whereabouts in the tavern, then Rusger was killed, and Jiang Ran immediately created something to track the killer's location. Another masked man flew in from the sky and fought with them, but it was only to attract their attention. He fought for a few seconds and then retreated!
The man had been under Aransta's control, but Aransta's abilities inexplicably stopped, and the man escaped. Everyone stood there in a daze for more than ten seconds before they remembered that they had forgotten to capture the other man, the murderer who killed Rusgr!
Only then did they realize that their opponent had the ability to make them forget things. Ironically, their opponent made them forget that Gwen had tracking abilities. Jiang Ran used [Creator] again, but what he created was just a pile of scrap metal. That's right, it had lost the ability it should have originally possessed.
The other party must not have gone far; they are still nearby. But they just don't know who the other party is!
They spent the rest of the afternoon searching for that guy. Originally, Arceus and Jiang Ran had the ability to revive Rusger, but reviving a dead person would definitely drain their spiritual power. It would be easier to find Aisha than to revive him.
They gained nothing all afternoon. Their opponent had clearly recovered his mental strength, making them forget everything that had happened at noon and in the afternoon. As they walked to the tavern, in their disappointment, they naturally began to discuss how to deal with Marid.
Using [Residual Dream] twice in a row caused Arceus's mental strength to falter. At this moment, he lamented that he was truly a Hollow, just like Kakashi!
Due to insufficient mental strength, he lacked control over the situation. Even though he noticed Jiang Ran's abnormality, Arceus did not expose him on the spot. Instead, he asked Alansta to play along and see what this imposter was up to!
He then used the time he had gained to quickly restore his mental strength!
After arriving outside the mayor's house, Arceus's mental strength had almost recovered. He asked Alansta to calm Song Yang down, while he and the Three Ghosts immediately headed up the mountain to where they were!
Arceus had two plans. If the enemy also sent men to intercept him, with Song Yang being held back by Aransta, the enemy's strength would inevitably decrease, and he was confident that he could capture the assassins instead! If the enemy did not do this, then he would take the opportunity to rescue Shan Shangye!
Fortunately, there were no ambushes on the way. Arceus successfully infiltrated the noodle shop, used [Remnant Dream] to modify reality, helped Shan Shang return to human form, and then rushed back as fast as he could!
Alice, who is at the near-god level, can only run up the mountain, so her speed is naturally not slow!
Using his last bit of mental energy, Song Yang stole his hands, which were free to move on the mountain, freeing them from the silk threads. He then grabbed the threads with both hands and strangled himself to death on the spot!
Gwen was somewhat surprised and worried that the head might be counted against her, which would be breaking the rules! But then she thought, it's like someone taking her knife and then committing suicide, so it shouldn't count as her injuring someone, right?
"careful!"
"If one person can lure so many of us into this place, they must have other plans. Let's leave first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people rushed out of the mayor's courtyard, and the mayor himself, carrying a short knife for self-defense, came to the backyard in his pajamas: "Where did these thieves come from, daring to steal from me? Don't they know the words in the laws of Tianguang Town?!"
Of course, these ordinary people couldn't possibly stop them. With the cover of night, the mayor wouldn't be able to easily identify their faces. Logically speaking, they could leave without any problem!
But Arceus felt uneasy!
