Chapter 251
Fia headed towards Dusk, where at least the embers on her body would no longer be so conspicuous.
Damn it, why did she become the first [King]?
She pulled out a piece of parchment from the inside pocket of her coat, which turned out to be a map.
"It's almost there... As long as we can get there..."
After encouraging herself, Fia put the map away and continued moving forward.
But she still underestimated how conspicuous she was.
Even though she had avoided the crowded roads, many people still noticed her.
Not everyone can guess the meaning of those two prophecies.
But after seeing the embers burning, most people were able to interpret the meaning.
In the long and narrow valley, Fia saw many heads popping up from both sides.
Under the cover of darkness, they are as creepy as the real living dead.
"Little girl, hand over the embers obediently, and we won't do anything to you."
The leader was a burly man holding a machete as tall as a man, looking very imposing.
Fia's eyes were full of hostility.
"Oh, the little girl is quite stubborn, but why bother?"
The man sneered twice, totally ignoring this little girl who was not even as tall as his legs.
But Fia suddenly sighed, as if she had compromised.
"Okay, but there's only one copy of the ember. How are you going to divide it among so many of you? Hmm?"
There were more than ten people that Fia could see appearing, not to mention those hiding in secret.
There are so many people. Even if she hands over the remaining fire, the rest will still fight for it.
But everyone laughed, as if mocking her naivety.
"Hahaha, little girl, you don't think we would travel with strangers!"
After the man laughed enough, he raised the machete and pointed it at Fia.
"Do you want to hand it over yourself, or should I do it myself?"
Fia bit her lower lip, rolled her eyes, and quickly observed the surrounding environment again.
"But I don't know how to give it to you."
Seeing that she was still trying to delay time, the man had lost his patience.
"Then just stand still and suffer less!"
Seeing that the machete had been raised, Fia gritted her teeth and chose to pounce directly at the man.
The man probably didn't expect her to be so brave, so he slashed at her with the blade.
But the machete did not give any feedback that it had hit anyone, and Fia's figure turned into a lavender mist.
"Damn it! Illusion?!"
"Boss! Over there! She's trying to escape!"
Fia had rushed out of the encirclement at some point and she stuck out her tongue at everyone.
"You want to arrest me? Forget it!"
The strong man was so angry, "Chase him!"
But Fia didn't give them a chance. She ejected a tube of alchemical potion from the secret compartment behind her boots. She caught it accurately and threw it straight into the sky.
Dodging the attack of the fastest enemy, she pulled out the pistol from her waist and fired at the test tube in the sky.
The strong light was so blinding that it could be detected within a radius of at least five kilometers. However, those who were chasing Fia were completely unprepared and had been in the dark for so long. Such a strong light even caused some people to fall to the ground in pain.
Fia had put on sunglasses and kept running.
She doesn't want to be eliminated. She finally gets to see her mother. She must...
You must survive to the end!!!
"Ouch--!"
“Ouch!”
Fia was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the bump under her feet and tripped, flying three meters away.
And the 'bulge' also cried out in pain.
Feiya endured the pain in her arms and knees. Damn, what tripped her? !
But she didn't look behind her. The strong light potion couldn't delay the time for long. If she was really caught...
What was scary was that the footsteps of the person behind her were getting louder and louder, and it was clear that they were already not far behind her.
"Shh!"
Just when she was in despair, the being who had stumbled before appeared beside her and blocked her and himself with his robe.
Those people didn't notice anything at all, and the nearest footsteps were even not far away from where Fia was buried.
She could even hear her own heartbeat and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the world soon returned to silence, and someone lifted up his robe, took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew - luckily I was prepared... Get up, everything is fine now."
However, Fia did not let down her guard because of his kindness. There were only five embers, and except for the other four [Kings], all of them were her enemies.
"Thank you! Goodbye!"
"Wait a moment!"
Fia had already run several steps away, but she still turned back.
"What's up!"
By the light of the remaining fire, Fia looked at the man's face.
Hiss——Why does it look familiar?
"Can I go with you? My ability is related to concealment and can help you."
Fia became more alert. She had seen people pretending to be good and then getting stabbed in the back before.
"Then what are you trying to do? Are you doing charity? Guess whether I believe you or not!"
The man knew he was suspicious, but he couldn't explain it.
But Fia seemed to remember something.
"Fuck! You are Nai Tiao Sheng!"
Fia couldn't even hold back from swearing.
Nai Tiaosheng quickly put his robe back on, picked up the baseball cap that had fallen on the ground and put it on.
"Keep your voice down!"
Only then did Fia cover her mouth and nodded.
This is the current head of the Institute of Supernatural Powers! Why is he attending the ceremony of the Supernatural Network?
And judging from his attire, he probably came here secretly because he doesn't want others to know his identity!
"Now that you know my identity, can you use me as a guarantee?" Nai Tiaosheng returned to his ordinary appearance, but Feiya was obviously very interested.
"Hehe, what kind of guarantee is this? If you kill me halfway, will I go to the Institute of Superpowers to settle the score with you?"
Besides, everyone knows that if you die in the alien network, you can't return to reality...wait...
Feiya suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Are you some kind of old-fashioned person? Why do you need to use your real name to surf the Internet?!"
She suddenly realized that this was an alien network where people could create different images to conceal their identities.
But Nai Tiaosheng is clearly his own image! That's why Feiya can recognize him!
Nai Tiaosheng was helpless.
"Yeah, so I said, this is a guarantee, right?"
He couldn't explain why this was the case, but he believed that for Fia now, it was more important to preserve the remaining fire.
As for whether Nai Tiao Sheng will snatch it, that is a matter for the future.
Fia is a smart person and she thinks so too.
At least it is more beneficial for her to have Nai Tiaosheng with her for now.
"Okay, I promise."
Fia raised her chin slightly, and did not think herself inferior just because the other party was the head of a famous supernatural power institute.
Now, overall, she has the final say.
"But you have to tell me what your goal is. I won't blame you even if you say your goal is the ember."
Nai Tiaosheng chuckled, this girl is really naive.
"I can't tell you my purpose, but for now I do need to clear the [Cemetery of the Dead]."
How is this different from fighting for the purpose of embers?
Fia snorted and ignored his 'word game'.
"Just call me Fia, and I'll call you Uncle Nai!"
Nai Tiaosheng scratched his head, "Am I that old? You call me uncle."
"How can there be a young person who can be the head of the department?! It would be better if I didn't call you grandpa!"
In Fia's 'stereotype', politicians are all cunning old men, and none of them are good people.
"Alright! Let's go. We definitely attracted attention here just now. We have to leave quickly."
——
"Did you find anything?"
A lot of people have gathered where the white light flashed just now.
But at least the group of people who gathered together to discuss did not get any useful information.
"The King has been here. I can sense their location."
Lan Yi said affirmatively.
Perhaps there was some kind of induction between the remaining flames, Lan Yi could "smell" the scent of flames passing by.
The mist of Liuhuaqi also noticed some clues.
"They are heading that way. Should we follow them?"
There are five kings in total, and only five remaining fires.
There are five of them in total, and it is almost impossible for all of them to pass this level.
But as long as it's not over, you can't give up.
"Walk."
Whatever embers they could get at the end, they had to go for it.
The five people left quietly until they were out of a "certain range". People not far away who seemed to be watching the fun looked at the direction they were leaving in a thoughtful manner.
Then, he showed a weird smile.
"Looking at the footprints, there are two people, one of whom is a woman."
As we follow the trail, we get more clues.
Liuhuaqi quickly and accurately analyzed the useful information.
"I remember Brother Lan said that one of the five [Kings] is a woman?"
Lin Zhipei immediately learned from her experience.
Li Ke nodded, "Maybe, but not necessarily?"
As the 'ashes', they have no way to track the [King] for the time being, but the [Cemetery of the Dead] has given the [King] the ability to sense each other.
Xi Siling was a little unsure of the level designer's purpose.
Just like the Museum of Lies, there is always a reason for designing such a level.
"We'll know once we find it." Lan Yi could feel the embers burning more fiercely, so much so that in addition to feeling scorching heat, he also felt a little pain. "I have a hunch that the embers may not be fixed."
Liu Huaqi frowned, "Brother Lan, do you mean that the remaining fire can be merged?"
Lan Yi nodded, but then shook his head.
"I'm not sure, it's just a feeling, it's wonderful."
Li Ke snapped his fingers, "I see, it's intuition."
Getting closer and closer to the other [King].
Liuhuaji could also notice that the traces left behind were becoming increasingly fresh.
But the five of them stopped at the same time.
"This is...?"
"What a nice view..."
"Oh my god, there's a great view ahead."
After crossing a certain 'boundary', the whole world changes dramatically.
Dusk was like a divine alchemical crucible, molten liquid gold pouring down from the cracks in the dome, and the burning celestial body was stuck on the jagged horizon like a doomsday pendulum stuck in bronze gears.
The ochre-red waterfall of light spread over the endless dead forest, illuminating the branches with translucent amber.
This is the extension of the [Cemetery of the Dead], leading to the [Dusk] of the [Furnace].
Everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, but the murderous intent emanating from the woods was too obvious.
The five people jumped away from their positions and exploded the next moment.
When the smoke cleared, a tall man carrying a machete stared at Lan Yi with unfriendly eyes.
"Hand over the embers!"
