13 Mink Street

Richard's abnormal behavior immediately caught the attention of Karen and Memphis. Karen reached out to grab it, and Memphis' figure instantly appeared in front of Richard.

But Karen's hand passed through Richard's body, and then, Richard "knocked" out of Memphis' body.

At this time, Richard was like a transparent person, and he himself continued to shout:

"Slow down, Karen, I'm coming."

The first interception was unsuccessful, and when Karen and Memphis were about to conduct the second interception, Richard's figure suddenly disappeared.

He entered another time?

This was a subconscious thought of Karen, because Richard was obviously calling himself earlier, as if another self in another time was calling him over.

But immediately, Karen immediately dismissed this thought in his mind, no, not time.

Both the captain and Memphis said that the Time Hallows does not exist at all, and all the strange things that appear in front of them are more like a scam. The purpose of the scam is to make you believe that the time here is being cut.

But what is the purpose of doing this?

Memphis put his hands on Karen's shoulders, and Karen was slightly puzzled. Although both of them were wearing masks, they could see their eyes. Karen didn't see the kind of father's worry about his son from Memphis' eyes.

"It's a hoax," Memphis said. "It's designed to deceive."

After speaking, Memphis took the initiative to walk towards Neo.

The other team members also noticed the situation here, and many of them even witnessed the whole process of Richard's disappearance.

Although two members of other teams disappeared instantly when getting off the train, but this time it was his teammates who disappeared.

If something goes wrong in this way, then who will disappear next?

How to guard against this, how to resist?

Even the members of the Hound Squad became sensitive and suspicious in the face of the current situation. If it was a head-on fight, they would not have such emotions in the face of no matter how powerful an opponent was.

Neo walked up to Memphis, who repeated what he had said to Neo: "This is a hoax."

"Yes, this is a scam." Neo nodded. After speaking, Neo looked at Karen who was standing beside him, and touched his mask with his hand.

"Look, isn't that Richard?"

Fanny pointed to the hillside not far away and shouted. Everyone looked there and found that there was indeed a person standing on the top of the hill. Judging from his attire and body shape, he looked like Richard who had just disappeared.

Richard began to run down from there, waving his hands as he ran, and it could be seen that he was terrified, but at the same time excited, and he was crying while running, as if he was alive after death.

Everyone gathered, everyone was waiting for Richard to approach, but no one took the initiative to go forward to greet him.

Karen looked at Memphis who was standing beside him, and he found that his uncle seemed too calm from the moment his son "disappeared" to the moment his son "appeared".

As if sensing Karen's gaze, Memphis turned to look at Karen, saying:

"Caught the wrong person."

"What?"

Memphis shook his head, as if he was taking a deep breath, and seemed to be preparing for something.

Richard was getting closer and closer, and the big guy's expression became more and more dignified, and he was already prepared in his heart. After Richard ran over, he passed through their bodies, just like when he disappeared before.

However,

The development of the matter seems to be out of some kind of prediction of the big guy.

"Scared me to death Karen, really scared me to death, Karen!"

Richard yelled like a runner who has finally reached the finish line, and he threw himself on Karen and hugged Karen.

Karen sensed the real physical contact, Richard did not disappear, he became real, very real, if nothing else, it should be the real Richard back.

Everyone's eyes were a little stunned, because everyone hadn't recovered from Richard's strange disappearance, and Richard ran back by himself in this way?

All of a sudden, many people came up and began to touch Richard.

"What are you doing, what are you doing here, hey, hey, don't touch here, ah!"

Richard screamed when he was touched by more than a dozen hands, even though there were two pairs of women's hands, Michelle and Fanny, but more of them were men's hands. This sense of discomfort made him unacceptable.

"Where did you go?" Karen asked.

"Me? I saw you waving to me just now, telling me that the captain and everyone have moved on, told me to follow up quickly, and I immediately ran out with you."

"Then what?"

"Then... I ran and found that you suddenly disappeared. I knew it was bad. I was recruited. I climbed up the hillside over there to look around, but when I found you were here, I ran right away. came back."

"No other changes?" Fanny asked.

"No, because the time is very short. By the way, how long has it been?" Richard asked immediately, "How many hours?"

"According to the length of time described, we should be equal in time." Fanny replied.

"Hey, where's the newcomer?"

"Where's Memphis?"

"Where did he go?"

Karen also began to look around, and found that Memphis, who was standing beside her before, had disappeared.

"Did the newcomer disappear this time?" Fanny said.

"Is he coming back soon?" Xie Yao asked.

Karen suddenly remembered what Memphis said to herself before disappearing: "I caught the wrong one."

"Hey, is the newcomer missing?" Richard also started to search, "He should be like me, find a high point to confirm the location."

Karen looked at Richard and pursed his lips.

However, the newcomer Memphis still didn't come back after everyone camped out and ate some supplies and food they carried with them.

There are no tents in the camp, but there are some blankets and simple shelters arranged. We have arranged three layers of defense according to the past habits, the outer, middle and inner circles are very organized.

But whether this kind of defense can be effective, everyone has no idea.

"Why hasn't the newcomer come back..."

Richard was muttering and looking around non-stop. This may be a connection between father and son. Although Richard didn't know the identity of Memphis, he would instinctively worry about him.

"Karen, why do you think I have come back, but the newcomer hasn't come back yet?"

Karen shook his head, he felt as if he knew the reason, but it was inconvenient to say it.

At this moment, Wende exclaimed: "Where's the captain?"

"Where's the captain?"

"Where is the captain!"

For the current team members, a rookie disappears as well, but if the captain also disappears, it will have a great blow to their morale.

Because everyone has long been used to obeying the captain's orders during missions.

"I went to the front to check the situation and found a person."

The black mist appeared, and Neo's figure walked out from it, and then the second person came out, which was Marlowe.

"Marlowe, are you back?"

"Hey, Marlowe, I thought you had an accident!"

"I've already figured out how much money I should pay when I attend your funeral. Fortunately, you saved me a lot of money."

Neo said: "I found a certain pattern, and I left to verify this pattern before, and then I used this pattern to find Marlowe.

In fact, Marlowe stayed where he was, and he was always with Kansai and the Anthony team, but because we were in different time periods, even though our positions overlapped, we still couldn't see each other. "

"Captain, what do you mean?" Gray asked.

"Yes, although you may think this is absurd, I still want to tell you what I have observed and determined. We have encountered... a time cut."

When Karen heard the last sentence, he suddenly raised his head to look at the masked captain.

Marlowe also said: "I have set up several communication formations in my time period, not timely communication, but delayed communication, setting the formation to half an hour, one hour, one and a half hours, two hours later start up.

Then, I managed to reach the captain and I got in touch with the captain, and the captain pulled me back to him, which is the time period where the big guy is now. "

"I...don't understand..." Kunxi expressed the feelings of many people.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, the main reason is that I have found a way to leave here, a way to go out." Neo pointed in the direction of Ales Castle, "The exit is actually at the gate of the castle, because the castle is so large. The door is the starting point of everything, the initial point of this time-cutting journey, we must start from there, and then go out from there, so that we can get out of the constraints of time-cutting and go out successfully.

Marlowe will lead the way, and I will be last, and I order you, throw away your watches, and you are not allowed to look up at the stars, and I ask you not to have the slightest sense of time.

You must know that there is no concept of time. The so-called "time" is only artificially given to it. During the journey, you have to perceive it, and perceive the feeling of water flowing past you.

If you suddenly find that the people in front of you are gone, don’t panic, because those teammates are by your side, you just need to use your heart to perceive the flow of time, just like flicking a radio receiver, and you can see their faces again. figure.

Time is running out now, and it won't be long before the next time reset. Our supplies are limited, so we must take this opportunity to go out successfully.

Maybe some people will fail, but don't be discouraged, go back to the original point by yourself, and try to 'swim' out. At the same time, you must have more confidence, and you must firmly believe that there must be teammates who have succeeded in going out, then the rescue of the gods will inevitably come.

God of Order, will bless us!

let's start! "

"Sure enough, it's time cutting, Karen, do you know what happened to us?" Richard took off his watch and threw it on the ground as he continued excitedly to Karen, "If this thing or this existence is It was discovered by us, and if we report this news after we go out, we will definitely get a huge reward from the God Cult, and even our names will be left in the church chronicles."

Karen glanced at Richard:

Presumably, that's why you were caught and released?

Next, Marlowe walked at the front, the captain was at the back, and everyone lined up in a single file and began to advance towards the Castle of Ales.

Karen deliberately hangs himself at the end of the team, just ahead of the captain. Seeing this, Richard deliberately stayed at the end of the team, just in front of Karen, in order to be with Karen.

After traveling for a certain distance, everyone came to the hillside where they hid at first, but this time they walked along the road, bypassing the slope, and the gate of Ales Castle was just ahead.

Marlowe stopped at the gate of the castle, instead of pushing the door to enter, he turned around and waved for everyone to follow him.

The big guys are like children queuing up. After passing the gate, they turn around and continue to follow the team.

Karen clearly saw that the expressions of those teammates who turned from the gate changed, and at the same time, excitement appeared on their faces.

Richard turned around in front of Karen, was stunned for a moment, then ecstasy appeared on his face, and continued to catch up with the team in front of him.

After Karen turned around, he found a white mist in his field of vision. The mist was not high and only reached the waist, but he could clearly see that it was flowing, like a stream of white mist. The direction he was heading now It is "upstream".

This kind of "sense of progress" visible to the naked eye is very encouraging in an instant. It almost tells me that I am on the right path and that I am not far away from going out. Look uplifted.

But Karen couldn't get excited. When he kept marching, he turned his head slightly to feel the captain who fell at the end of the team.

Finally, after walking a certain distance, Karen opened his mouth and said:

"Captain, it's uncomfortable to wear a mask for a long time, I want to take off the mask."

Neo said:

"Shut up and concentrate on walking."

"Yes, Captain."

While Karen nodded, he drew his Savoy 7 pistol.

...

"How's the situation?"

"Under my arrangement and design, the Anthony team and the Kansai team, from their captain to the players, have already believed that they have entered a time fault, and are now coping with the changes in time.

But Neo Squad..."

"What happened to Team Neo?"

"See for yourself."

"Huh? Isn't it very good, no, how come so many things have been added, and two people have been isolated?"

"No way, the quality of this team is indeed much higher than that of Anthony's team and Kansai's team, because at the beginning, their captain announced to everyone that it is not a matter of time.

And in the team, there was another person who seemed to have discovered something, and kept saying 'this is a scam' and 'this is a scam'.

The prestige of this captain is too high. His team members will sincerely obey what he said and will not raise objections. Therefore, the tone from the beginning has been nailed to death by him.

Moreover, he has always resisted entering the castle. He chose to be passive from the very beginning, and did not give me the opportunity to deepen my awareness of all of them. There are too few environmental change elements that I can use in the wild. Most of my designs It's all in the castle, alas. "

"Then what?"

"I separated Neo alone, and the one who said the scam was also separated by me. There was also a small episode in it. I tagged him at the beginning, but I don't know why I tagged him for the first time. During the quarantine, it turned out that another person who had always believed in time gaps was quarantined by me. I had no choice but to release him and mark the quarantine again."

"Are they relatives?"

"It should be. The family members in Whip of Order are not very rare."

"But your mistake, you really shouldn't, it will destroy the sense of substitution."

"No way, the team member who was quarantined believed that this was a time gap.

Besides, I have tried my best to save them. For this reason, I also asked their captain to appear and re-instilled the concept of time gaps in them, so that things are really on the right track.

They trust their captain too much.

Alas, if I knew it earlier, the captain should have been isolated from the start. "

"You requested it on your own initiative. The three Whip of Order squads, you said not to all be mediocre, but to choose a truly outstanding one. It seems that the department that arranged the mission over there really listened to this request. This The quality of the Neo team is indeed much higher."

"It's just a captain and a team member with high quality."

"You can't say that. As long as the captain of a team is good enough, it's hard for the team not to be good. What's more, it's not just the captain this time."

"However, I really don't know why the temple restarted this project, although I think the person who designed this project is indeed a genius."

"Being able to become the existence of an evil god, how can it be described by the mere word 'genius'?"

"Yeah, probably, this is the thinking of the evil gods. The great main gods searched for the power of time in the world but they didn't get it, but he was able to open up a new path.

Do you still remember the passage in the project book? It is said that this is what he left behind:

【Time doesn’t exist at all. You can’t find something that doesn’t exist in reality. You can only find things that don’t exist, such as…human thinking and consciousness. 】”

"I've always been curious about one thing, was he successful back then?"

"It must have failed, there is no doubt about it."

"Then has he achieved any results, even a little bit?"

"I think there are."

"You think there is?"

"Because he was suppressed."

"What you said... makes sense."

"By the way, how long will this internal preliminary test take?"

"Ten days, based on the 5-hour cycle of consciousness we set, for them, it should be 48 cycles."

"Oh, that's really hard work for them."

"Don't worry, after the test is over, the Church of God will reward them with generous mission rewards."

"By the way, I heard that the name of the project is named after that evil god?"

"Yes, the Raniedar Project."

"Oh, my God! It's over, it seems that the Neo team is going to end this test early."

"What's wrong?"

"look by youself."

...

"Hey, teammates!"

All the team members in front turned their heads to look at Karen who was at the end of the team.

While turning around, Karen took out the Sava 7 pistol, pointed it at the forehead of Captain Neo behind him, and pulled the trigger without hesitation:

"boom!"
