Chapter 54 Chapter 54 The Golden Cicada Image

In the thick pool of blood, the falling speed is not fast.

But by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late to return.

In the passage where he cannot open his eyes, the reconnaissance field is Puys's eyes. When the only ability to understand the outside world is suppressed, Puys will feel extremely uneasy.

There's a psychic suppression field down here!

But he couldn't open his mouth to remind the two of them, so he could only use the most primitive "feeling" to touch the surroundings.

I don't know where it started, but the water suddenly became turbulent, making it impossible to swim upstream.

Fortunately, they had reached the exit of the passage and were washed somewhere, and they could finally breathe.

Puis wiped the liquid off his face, opened his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bo Mo and Ni Lan by his side.

However, the strangest thing was the "flow" that washed them into this room.

When they were up there, the flowing sea water turned into blood, but when they got here, the blood turned back into sea water.

The fishy smell has completely disappeared, and the sticky feeling on my body is gone.

It's like...purification.

"Eh? Where did we end up?"

Pomo was already prepared to have his face covered in blood, but the situation down there was definitely not what he had imagined.

"The supernatural powers will be suppressed here, be careful."

Puis really didn't expect that there would be power suppression equipment in such a place. This kind of thing is usually only used in Saint Snow Prison where powerful power criminals are imprisoned.

Of course, Lanster also used it in limited battles, but that was to avoid irreversible casualties.

This thing is strictly controlled, how could it be found in Shouyu Island?

Pomo blinked and tried to use his special ability, but found that it was suppressed just as Puis said.

"So we're trapped here?"

The boy looked back to where they came from, thinking about the possibility of crawling back.

“We have to find another way out.”

If this isn't a prison built to hold someone forever, there must be a way out.

Puis stood up from the clean pool. Apart from being soaked all over, he did not feel any discomfort.

"You all okay?"

When the water was rushing, Puis was afraid that they had fallen into a trap, but now it seemed that they were getting closer to the truth.

Bo Mo stood up and pulled Ni Lan who was standing next to him up as well.

"Don't worry! I'm fine!"

"I'm fine too, let's go."

This space is much smaller than the upstairs, but has four passages in different directions.

Standing here, I couldn't see what was at the end, and Puis's ability couldn't be used.

"Which way should I go?"

Without Puys's investigative field, it would all be up to luck where to go.

Puis closed his eyes and began to feel the flow of air here.

Assuming there is an exit, the flow of air can guide the direction.

Finally, he pointed to the passage to the north and said, "We should be able to get out from here, but the purpose of our trip is to find Father Asclepius and Podali."

"So it's a choice between three, right?" Pomer looked in the remaining directions.

Puis nodded. "Use your intuition and choose one."

But intuition is not something that comes easily; it is very metaphysical.

Pomo also closed his eyes, hoping that his intuition would give him something.

Sadly, not this time.

The boy sighed and started to shake his head, "I can't think of a choice! If I really have to choose..."

If my intuition is not good, can I still guess it directly?

"Let's go this way."

But before Pomo could guess it, he heard Ni Lan standing at the entrance of the west passage.

"Eh? This way?"

Bomo originally thought of the east direction, but he guessed the opposite.

Puisi didn't ask why, and followed him, "Let's go."

After they walked in, there was no light at all. The three of them took out their terminals and turned on their flashlights.

"Fortunately the terminal is waterproof."

Come to think of it, this ending was chosen by his friend when he was on a mission with Puis.

Puis told him to either buy the cheapest or the best.

At that time, Pomo didn't know why, and he didn't have much money, so he bought the cheapest one, but it was soon broken in the water. He changed to an equally cheap one, but it also didn't work in a colder place.

After saving some money, I bought the same model as Puis, and it turned out to be the one that lasted the longest in his hands.

Ni Lan agreed in her heart, remembering that she had also bought non-waterproof ones in the future.

The terminal that I had been using well disappeared, and one day later it became another completely useless terminal. Then another day later, I saw that there was something very important in the useless terminal, so I quickly went to buy a new one.

"Wait, listen."

Puis suddenly stopped and the three of them fell silent.

The passage went down from here, and from that unknown depth came someone's scream, so heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

"Will it be the priest or Podali?"

Pomo's expression became serious.

Puis frowned, not knowing whether they should continue moving forward.

There are energy suppression equipment here, but the suppression force field can be solved by wearing a bracelet that resists the force field. If the people below are the Lightless Ones or other accomplices of Father Paris, they will be in danger without any preparation.

The resistance field bracelet cannot be obtained in a short time, and the remaining time for Shouyu Island is gradually slipping away.

So going down was their only option.

"We must first find the equipment that suppresses the energy field and destroy it." Puis made the decision after thinking for just a moment.

If you can't do it, you will be sacrificed to the other world sooner or later. Temporary safety will not change anything.

"good!"

Pomo also hated the feeling of being restricted by his supernatural powers. To him, losing the ability to predict the future was as disturbing as losing both hands or some important sensory organ.

Ni Lan also nodded in agreement.

But the worst choice still came, and there were three completely different directions before them.

The screams also stopped, and except for the way they came, they were just catching criminals.

"Let's separate. It'll be quicker this way."

Ni Lan took the initiative to bring it up.

"no..."

“I agree.”

"Ess! You guys!"

Pomo looked at his two friends with disapproval and a firm attitude.

"no!"

"Amo, we don't have that much time." Ni Lan shook her head at him.

"Ni Lan is right. Moreover, since none of the three of us have special abilities, we will be caught in one swoop if we encounter a Lightless One. It would be better to spread out the possibilities."

Puis is more rational, and he never minds using the method of "sacrificing something to gain something".

Pomo clenched his fists, unwilling to let go.

"Amo, Father Ascle and Podali can't wait that long."

Ni Lan advised again that he always knew how to "break" Pomo's determination.

Little did Pomohe know that this was the fastest and best way.

But...But...

"Trust us, Pomo, just like I... and Ni Lan, trust you."

This kind of 'have to' is so annoying.

But now Pomo can't use his superpowers, and he doesn't even know if he will encounter the same situation as last time.

When you have a foretelling, the thing you foretell has already happened.

"good."

The boy finally nodded, although he was so reluctant.

Under the dim flashlight, his expression was full of unwillingness.

"After returning, I must make something to resist the force field."

Puis couldn't help but laugh. "That thing is controlled by the state. No one is allowed to own it privately."

"I don't care! I'm going to walk in the middle! That's it!"

Pomo took the initiative to choose the middle passage, which he thought was the most dangerous.

Puis looked at Ni Lan and signaled him to choose first.

Ni Lan pointed to the right seemingly casually, "I'll go this way."

"Once the force field disappears, we will return here. Be careful and run away if there is any danger."

Puis gave some final instructions.

Once the choice is made, the boy will not bother about it anymore.

"I know, I know! You should be more careful! Even without my super powers, I am much stronger than you!"

Pomo's physical strength is indeed very terrifying, and Puis feels that the title of "gorilla" is sometimes suitable for him.

Ni Lan smiled and nodded, "You guys should be careful too."

Only when they walked far enough away and could no longer hear their footsteps did Ni Lan stop smiling.

Not long after, light finally came into the room in the distance.

The light and shadows moved, and there were many people in the room.

"who!"

The masked Lightless Ones turned their heads and looked at Ni Lan.

The boy raised his hands as if in surrender, but his eyes were not on anyone.

In the middle of the room, there was a golden statue. Although it was emitting a divine glow, it was bent in an extremely distorted posture.

The man's legs were completely broken outwards and tied together with his hands behind his back, like the wings of a golden cicada.

It was shining with golden light and seemed to be emitting something.

"Xu Kuiaiya asked me to come to you, Father Asclepius."

Ni Lan finally spoke.

The Lightless One, whose mask was more advanced, immediately gave the order.

"Catch him for me!"

"yes!"

The Lightless Ones rushed towards the boy, but still couldn't get any of his attention.

At the moment when the Lightless One was about to touch Ni Lan, a familiar pocket watch finally appeared in his hand.

Time is constantly slowed down and goes backwards, and no one can reach and touch the truth of the boy.

"Thank you."

Ni Lan said politely.

The light emanating from the golden statue had ripples, conveying a certain message.

Ni Lan nodded slightly, "I know, I will find Podali, but... I'm sorry."

The ripples came to Ni Lan gently, as if to comfort her.

The Lightless Ones gradually escaped from the regress of time, but they had all lost their vitality.

"My two friends are here to help too. Can you please help them too?"

The ripples began to sway gently again, agreeing to the boy's request.
