Chapter 099 Chapter 99
"Ding! Unlock the first ability - Crow Crow."
"Crows cry - Crows cry when they find food. They can't eat all the food by themselves, so they call their companions to share the food. They call countless clones of themselves and build a kingdom of crows."
"Ding! Unlock the second ability - prophecy."
"Prophecy - The White Crow was once a sacred bird of the gods, but it angered the gods and was burned to black. However, it still has some residual power, for example, it can see the future for a short time."
The crow nestled on Liddell's head, and the system's prompt sounds rang in his mind one after another.
Utor sat steadily, his bird-like face expressionless, though he was a little surprised by the second skill.
Prophecy has always been the most buggy skill in various film and novel stories.
I just don’t know how long this short future will last.
As long as it lasts more than ten minutes, it's pretty cool.
"Ten seconds." The system answered quietly in Utor's mind.
Utol: ...
Okay, a little bit chicken ribs.
The Savior System quietly communicated with Utor: "Even cards of SSS rarity may not have the ability to predict. Host, you are lucky. This ability involves the law of time. Ten seconds is already a lot. Think about how many death crises can be avoided in battle in ten seconds."
"Especially since there is no activation time or cooldown time!" The rescue system was very excited. "You can always see the next ten seconds into the future!"
The crow chirped softly.
Well, he admitted it was pretty good.
"What's the matter, Mr. Uttor?" Liddell asked, nodding slightly.
Utol scratched Liddell's hair with his claws and said, "Keep going forward and go to the third floor."
"Um."
Utol, who was nesting on Lidl's head, used his second skill. After seeing the ability of prophecy, he had the idea of trying it. In general, super-powerful abilities like prophecy often appear in movies, and he was very curious about what the effect would be when using it.
The prophecy skill was activated silently, and soon a picture was transmitted into Utor's mind. It felt as if he had watched a ten-second movie clip, and then the movie clip was recalled in his mind in the form of memory.
The length of this memorable 'video' increases second by second as time goes by.
For example, three seconds later, Liddell would look to the right, then turn back and keep walking.
For example, eight seconds later, the Mediterranean guy next to him will trip and almost fall.
Since the prophecy skill was always on, it was like constantly recalling the short movie in his mind. It was a bit tiring, so Utor turned off the skill and watched at ease to see if the next scene would develop as he predicted.
Sure enough, three seconds later, Liddell discovered that half a stone was protruding from the right wall. He subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and after making sure there was no danger, he continued to move forward.
Eight seconds later, Sean, who had been touching his scalp and feeling sorry for his lost hair, tripped because he didn't pay attention to his step. Fortunately, he adjusted himself in time and did not fall.
The prophecy skill is worthy of its name.
From the corridor behind, there were faint sounds of screams.
Liddell immediately paused and looked behind him hesitantly.
Sean immediately recognized whose voice it was and said quickly, "Don't save her. If you save her, she will definitely push us out. You still remember that woman locked us all out of the cell before."
Liddell's expression changed slightly.
"And it's definitely too late." Sean added.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the sound stopped.
Everything fell into silence.
Liddell lowered his eyes, looking a little depressed. He didn't want anyone to die here, but the fact was that as far as he knew, two people were already gone.
Plus, they didn’t see anyone else along the way, maybe they had already…
"Mr. Utor, are you going to the third floor to eat the strongest weird?" Liddell asked.
Utol replied as a matter of course: "Of course we should choose the biggest and most delicious food!"
Liddell: "If the strongest weirdness is the core of this place, we can go back after it is destroyed."
Utol: “Yes.”
If the core is gone, the strange world will also disappear, and the people trapped here will of course be thrown into the real world.
"Then let's go quickly." Liddell said, quickening his pace.
The sooner these are resolved, the sooner everyone can be out of trouble.
"I also support leaving quickly..." Sean's voice trembled a little. He looked behind him in fear, "It seems that something is coming from the place where the screaming sound happened before."
The thing looked huge, with its head almost touching the ceiling and its body was also very wide. Because of the backlighting, only an outline illuminated by the light could be seen, and the front was pitch black and its shape could not be seen clearly.
Liddell turned his head and saw the huge guy walking towards him.
"Mr. Utor, we have to run away!" He warned the crow nesting on his head and ran away.
Sean followed him with a frightened look on his face.
The guys behind seemed to realize that the two prey in the distance were trying to escape, so they quickened their pace and chased after them. Because of their heavy weight, they made heavy thumping sounds when they stepped on the stone floor.
Hearing the footsteps, Liddell and Sean ran faster.
Turning left, they entered a long corridor with small windows on both sides. As they were on the second floor, it felt like they were walking on a pedestrian overpass.
Sean glanced out the window and exclaimed, "Liddle, look out the window."
Liddell looked outside as he ran and was also startled. Fortunately, he was almost used to the shocks after several times. At this time, in the courtyard, a group of guys with ragged clothes and walking postures like zombies, with missing limbs and heads, who looked even more like zombies, were wandering around.
"What is this? A zombie siege?" Sean asked excitedly, "What I hate most is zombie movies!"
"Those are corpses." The crow above his head croaked, "You can call them the living dead."
After running through the long corridor, they arrived at another building of the I-shaped prison.
Sean and Liddell stopped and looked back. It seemed that the huge fat man did not catch up with them.
"Ah, I'm saved." Sean touched the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed.
Liddell said nothing; he was looking gloomily down the aisle.
Seeing that Liddell was silent, Sean turned around to look. He was frightened and saw a lot of torture instruments hanging on the dark wall in front of him.
There are various iron tools, ropes, knives and axes.
Some of the things looked very strange, like there was a tool that looked like a pear with a blossom, but there was only a screw in the middle, and no idea what it was used for.
Seeing Sean staring at the thing, Liddell said, "That's called a rosewood. It's used to make holes. When the tool is snapped together, the front is closed and sharp. Put it into the hole and rotate it, and the tool will open and tear the hole wider..."
"No, wait, stop talking." Sean waved his hands quickly. "It sounds scary. I don't want to know this kind of knowledge."
After a few seconds of silence, he came up to Liddell and whispered, "Which hole?"
A crow wing extended from Liddell's head and he called out to Sean, "Liddell, try to open a hole for this kid!"
Sean shook his head quickly: "No."
He swore he was just a little curious, really, just a little.
I took another look at the rosewood. It looked ordinary, but since it was hung here, it meant it must have been used. I wonder how many people have been punished by it.
Compared to this thing, the iron chair next to it with thorns is nothing special.
You can tell at a glance how the torture instrument is used, so it doesn't arouse people's curiosity, even though it is stained with a lot of black stuff.
In the prison cells long ago, these things could be simply rinsed with water after use. Unless they were in extremely bad condition, they would never be cleaned.
So you don’t have to think about what is on it.
"Let's go," Liddell said.
They couldn't go back now, and they didn't know if the big guy was still guarding them, so they could only move forward. I believe there should be a staircase leading to the third floor.
"Wait, are we going to move forward? Past so many torture instruments?" Sean's face looked bitter, but after looking behind him, he knew he couldn't retreat.
Liddell had already taken the first step, and Sean quickly followed, clasping his hands in front of his chest and reciting the Bible.
He was not a devout believer, but today he could be.
Regardless of whether reciting this thing really works, at least it can make me feel a little more relaxed.
The stumbling Bible came out of his mouth in an endless cycle.
In front, Liddell looked around vigilantly but found nothing unusual.
It was necessary for Liddell to be nervous when he was wearing such a ferocious torture device.
But until the end of the journey, nothing happened.
Looking at the dark corridor behind me, the torture instruments hanging on the wall were still the same as before.
Liddell breathed a sigh of relief, and then he remembered that he still had the strange Mr. Utol on his mind. If there was any abnormality, Mr. Utol would not do nothing...
Suddenly, Utol, who had been lounging on Liddell's head, stood up and spread his wings.
Liddell was startled and immediately tensed up. Sean also quickly got into position and tried to find weapons to deal with the situation, but when he looked around... there were only torture instruments hanging behind him, and he really didn't want to touch those things.
Three seconds, five seconds, nothing happened.
Eight seconds, ten seconds. After the tenth second countdown, something fell from the sky, opened its huge mouth, and tried to swallow Liddell and Sean.
Utol, who was standing above Liddell, shouted and kicked the thing away, hitting the wall and sliding down.
Liddell and Sean finally saw the true face of the object. It was a human head, with a long spine under the neck, very complete. But other than that, there was nothing else.
The head rolled on the ground, and the long spine kept twisting like a snake's body.
Sean turned around and vomited.
