Embers Ad Infinitum

As an experienced warrior, Jiang Baimian's first reaction was not to be afraid, but to lean against the wall and avoid the front.

At the same time, she raised her arm and pointed the "Reaper" individual combat rocket launcher at the darkness pouring out from behind the door and the bloody palm on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian shook his left shoulder slightly, eliminating the expected recoil.

A rocket flew out and headed straight for the target.

bombing!

In the explosion, the rich darkness did not waver at all, completely engulfing the blooming fiery red flowers.

The bloody pale hand sometimes retracts, sometimes reaches forward, and alternately supports the other hand on the ground to assist the body in crawling.

They were also not affected by the violent explosion, and no trace of damage could be seen on the surface.

The body they were connected to was hidden in the thick darkness, with only a vague outline showing. Some angles looked like a human being, and some angles were weird.

Seeing that the bombardment failed to work, Jiang Baimian immediately threw away the "Reaper" individual combat rocket launcher and advanced instead of retreating. He extended his left palm toward the unknown monster that alternated its elbows and seemed to have human consciousness.

In Zizizzi's voice, silvery arcs jumped out one after another, hugged together, and crashed into the rich darkness.

The entire corridor suddenly became like daylight, but it could not illuminate the terrifying darkness hiding unknown monsters.

It was like the black hole mentioned in many books in the old world, where even light was swallowed up and could not escape.

While there were still countless flashes of lightning in Jiang Baimian's eyes, his body turned away without hesitation.

She ran wildly, trying to distance herself from the monster crawling heavily in the darkness.

This is a corridor with no forks on both sides. Jiang Baimian doesn't have to worry about getting lost. He can just run in the opposite direction of the enemy.

As she ran, she locked onto the terrifying creature chasing behind her and used "space illusion" on "him"!

She wanted the other party to mistake the road and crash into the rooms on both sides of the corridor to help her get out of trouble.

However, the unknown monster stretched out its bloody palms in the darkness and kept alternating its elbows, crawling unswervingly along the aisle and approaching.

My ability is useless to "him"? As Jiang Baimian ran, he took out the doll wearing gray-green camouflage and with a mirror on its face.

With the help of this prop, she used "stimulus dissonance" on herself, changing her reaction to similar scenes into the feeling of being suddenly burned by flames.

Her body shuddered violently, adrenaline secreting rapidly.

Kick, kick, kick! Jiang Baimian's running speed seemed to exceed the limit of human beings.

Her target is the intersection at the end of the aisle.

…………

Shang Jianyao, who was in the wilderness, was also facing the thick darkness coming like a tide.

At the edge of darkness, two bloody pale palms rested on the ground, holding their elbows, constantly alternating, allowing the looming figure behind them to continue to approach the target.

Shang Jianyao, who was looking for novelty and novelty, took a stance, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.

At the same time, he said leisurely:

"Loss of movement in limbs."

The alternating bloody palms paused and continued to drive the body forward.

"Fuck!" The cowardly Shang Jianyao cursed and let the military exoskeleton device go into full fire.

A grenade was launched, and a metal projectile wrapped with electric light arrived first. A condensed and clear red laser almost instantly crossed the distance between Shang Jianyao and the darkness. A heavy rain of yellow bullets Covered and gone.

This is the superior fire theory advocated by Zen Master Pudu.

However, most of these were swallowed up by the darkness. Although the rest hit the bloody palm and the figure connected to it, it only produced a certain sound and did not cause any real damage.

"Monster!" The honest Shang Jianyao jumped up, turned around in mid-air, and ran away.

Amidst the clanging sound, he took out a blue and white loudspeaker and amplified his voice:

"As the saying goes, it's better to make friends than to make enemies. I advise you not to be ungrateful and stop immediately, or you will bear the consequences!"

This is "thought guidance".

I don't know whether the monster in the dark couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's words at all, or whether it was able to resist the influence to a large extent. "He" also just paused for a moment and continued to crawl heavily with his elbows alternated.

The blood "he" left along the way was swallowed up by the darkness that followed.

As the ground trembled slightly, Shang Jianyao, wearing a military exoskeleton device, ran faster and faster.

I don't know who made the decision. He stretched out his right palm and pressed down hard.

boom!

The ground in front of the bloody palm suddenly collapsed, forming a huge sinkhole.

The monster in the darkness couldn't hold back and fell into it.

"Am I so strong?" The honest Shang Jianyao looked at his right palm in surprise.

How could his "interfering matter" be so strong that it could cause the ground to collapse out of thin air?

His initial plan was just to create a little obstacle to slow down the opponent.

While Shang Jianyao was surprised, the darkness continued to surge forward, flooding the sinkhole.

The bloody pale palms stretched out from the edge of darkness again, propped themselves on the ground, and moved their elbows forward alternately.

Shang Jianyao, who was looking back, happened to see this scene, and took another big step like his butt was burning, and started running wildly.

"This is too much!" Shang Jianyao raised the blue and white loudspeaker and threatened in a "thinking guidance" way, "Let me tell you, I know many people and I have many friends. If you dare to catch up, , I will ask them to gang up on you! It’s not too late to give up now, let’s listen to the lectures and recite the Buddha’s name together, isn’t it better than now?”

The darkness surging behind him and the monster moving forward with his elbows alternately did not change at all. They maintained the same speed of pursuit, and there was a vague trend of getting faster and faster.

The reckless Shang Jianyao suddenly became angry:

"OK!

"I'm going to see if the group fight has any effect now!"

As he spoke, his upper body split into several figures, one was calm and rational, one was cowardly and timid, one was compassionate, and one was jealous of evil.

Some of them stretched their hands into the void, as if to summon their friends, some held the "Six Senses Beads" and their eyes became dark, and some held the "Angel of Life" necklace, preparing to lock in the target.

"Conscious deprivation!"

Zen Master Pudu made a solemn and majestic voice.

Green light rose from the "Six Senses Pearl", and the monster in the darkness paused with its hands supporting the ground.

But soon "he" returned to his original state, and became violent and crawled very fast, as if Shang Jianyao had something in his hands that "he" had longed for.

"Cardiac arrest!"

Shang Jianyao, who was jealous of evil, followed up by using the "Angel of Life" necklace, but the monster with bloody pale hands never stopped at all.

"Are you done yet?" The honest Shang Jianyao yelled guiltily.

The monster is about to catch up with him, and darkness is about to flood the world.

At this moment, the cowardly Shang Jianyao pulled out a figure from the void.

That was Xiao Chong wearing yellow clothes and carrying a red schoolbag.

In the other direction, the calm and rational Shang Jianyao also found help.

He is Du Heng wearing a black robe and his hair hanging down.

As soon as the two "them" appeared, the surging darkness that was about to drown Shang Jianyao suddenly solidified, and the monster crawling on the ground and moving forward alternately with its elbows stopped.

In an instant, the two were like castles made of sand, torn apart and disintegrated by the waves.

The entire wilderness then became blurred, like a dream or a bubble.

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes suddenly and sat up on the bed.

He calmly opened his arms, leaned back half-way, and said piously:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

Jiang Baimian, who was on the same bed, shook his head and asked thoughtfully:

"Are you dreaming too?

"Did you fall asleep without realizing it?"

She still remembered that she was originally studying the fearful island in the "Sea of ​​Origins".

——Both rooms in this rental house have only one bed. Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao can only put pistols and other items in the bed as partitions.

For humans who often travel in the wilderness, this is not something worth worrying about. The wilderness does not even have such conditions. Therefore, Jiang Baimian responded calmly, but was just a little "worried" that Long Yuehong in the other room would fall asleep. Not.

"Otherwise?" Honest Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baimian didn't mind the honest attitude of Shang Jianyao and continued to ask:

“Is this also a dream about being chased by monsters in the dark?

"Is it similar to the description of the Hunter Guild's mission?"

Bang, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and hit his left palm:

"I just said it looks familiar!"

Jiang Baimian raised his right hand and rubbed his forehead:

“But I don’t have headaches, nausea, or fatigue, and I can go back to sleep at any time.

"You woke up while running too?"

"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "I summoned Teacher Du Heng and Xiao Chong with a trying mentality, and the monster in the dark seemed to be scared away. It turned out to be a dream, no wonder it could be summoned Come out, and there is no internal strife between Teacher Du Heng and Xiao Chong..."

This is the reckless Shang Jianyao who has just figured out the situation.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Baimian began to suspect that the reason why he was able to escape the nightmare without being affected was because Shang Jianyao scared the "monster in the dark" and fled the area.
