I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

From under the originally normal skin, milky-white tentacles like sprouts emerged from the pores, like the surface of rotten meat with maggots. Those tentacles kept squirming and swaying, and finally, under the skin, more and more thick The white tentacles tore through the skin and wrapped around Lu Tiao's hand.

At the same time, the diner's mouth suddenly opened and divided into four petals. Each petal was filled with fine tines, like a blooming flower.

It's just that the flower seemed to want Lu Jian's favor, and moved towards his body without saying a word. You could see the grooved brain in the center of the petals, and the furry tentacles were rubbing against the tofu-like brain. Waiting to eat.

The diner's clothes were stretched open, and his bones seemed to have been devoured and digested for hundreds of years. His entire body collapsed, with only more milky-white tentacles extending out. He was like a plant, only It exists to bloom the most beautiful flowers.

Lu Tiao did not hesitate, and a silver revolver [Last Word] materialized in his hand. With one shot, the monster immediately hit the direction of the cabin, hitting several dancing dancers, and finally landed on the ground. The walls of the cabin became a pool of blooming flesh.

As for the dancers who were knocked down, white granulations were growing on the cross-sections of their bodies. It was like a paused movie was playing again, and it was fast-forwarding ten times. Their bodies discovered changes and became hideous and terrifying. monster.

"It seems they can't be allowed to come into contact with each other."

Lu Tiao thought, raised the muzzle of his gun, leaned down, and quickly knocked these monsters into the sky, and then fired one after another to make them fly higher.

Immediately, these monsters froze in mid-air, just like the skeletal snakes wrapped in thunderclouds, but they were different from the previous human shapes. They were now just pure monsters.

The deck was quiet again.

"These human beings have become alienated. They have been severely polluted in this windless zone. However, due to the characteristics of stagnant time here, the erosion caused by pollution does not appear immediately. But once time starts to flow on them, these erosions will It will speed up immediately."

Lu Tiao already had a general understanding of the impact on this sea area.

In other words, the pollution in the Windless Zone is not the same thing as the extraordinary force that makes time here tend to stand still.

Even if the crew can resist the fate of time being gradually stopped with Shia's help, they are still suffering from pollution.

It's just that the pollution is not that serious, and just a few dozen minutes of contact is not enough to cause mutations.

And this passenger ship has been stranded here for who knows how long.

Judging from the clothes of these people, they are completely different from the style of Wajima's current era. I don't know what the historical process of Wajima's mainland is now. After all, there are even steam engines, and there are probably some people with extraordinary abilities in the central area of ​​the mainland. People may be completely different from people like Nagamasa who often wander at sea.

Even on earth, while many developed areas drink coffee and blow on air conditioners, there are still some backward areas that can only make a living by spearfishing.

Wajima Island currently has a very low degree of development of the sea, and the areas closer to the sea may become more backward.

Therefore, it is possible that these people fell into the windless zone recently. Lu Jian could not draw any conclusions about the speed of alienation.

"Why is this happening? Pollution should tend to spread directly. In such a contradictory situation, there should be someone's intervention?"

Lu Tiao thought to himself.

Most pollution will spread spontaneously, from high-pollution areas to low-pollution areas, eventually making the entire foreign land appear polluted. Under normal circumstances, it will not stay in place for decades or even hundreds of years without spreading like a windless zone. .

Rather, the stasis of time here prevents the spread of pollution.

Thinking of this, Lu Tan suddenly felt that the surroundings were getting darker.

Those starlights seemed to be shrouded in a veil, ambiguous.

Lu Tian saw that the leopards not far away had become insubstantial, and his whole figure seemed to be wrapped in a black mist.

The next moment, Lu Tiao felt a huge force grabbing him and tried to resist, but Lu Tiao felt it was difficult to move his hands and feet. It was not a sense of restraint, but his body told himself that now was not the time to move. It was instinctive. Unable to move.

He soon saw that a huge monster shrouded in black mist was holding him in his hand. The outline of the monster could not be seen clearly, but he could intuitively feel that its body was at least several hundred meters high. Towering like a mountain, in the black mist in the distance, the blue eyes exuded an ominous aura. Just by looking at them, the pollution was like a gangrene attached to the bones, spreading on Lu Jian's scalp and body surface.

At this moment, Lu Jian saw that there were many arms extending out of the black mist, and the monster seemed to come from an island in the distance. Silver light bloomed in one of the arms.

The silver glow was like a blade, cutting through the black fog in two or three strokes, bringing a glimmer of light to this gloomy world.

The next moment, Lu Tiao returned to reality.

He saw Leopard next to him as if nothing was wrong, sitting on the sofa that had decayed and grown tentacles and down. He gently stroked the head of the smooth creature growing on the armrest with one hand. His fingers were still there. The creature with eyes was teasing with the slightly open mouth full of sharp teeth at the top of its head. It looked quite relaxed, as if it was back home.

On the other side, Lu Tan saw Shia wearing armor.

"It's a little tricky."

Shia looked at her arm with gauntlets and said.

"This monster exists in this windless zone, but in a special form."

She murmured to herself.

Lu Jian had just seen a bit of the monster's characteristics through [True Sight]. He casually picked up a piece of wood from the cabin that had been knocked down when he smashed the diner's body, and used silver paint on the surface that was about to sprout. pen【last words】write down the words.

[You can check the time]

In the blink of an eye, the piece of wood turned into a clock that could tell the time.

Lu Jian looked at the wood. The scratches changed their positions and formed a pattern similar to clock scales. The granules growing on the wood pieces also moved slowly and became hands.

Shia didn't ask Lu Tan what he was doing, but she already knew something about it.

Lu Jian saw that time was gradually passing. When the stopwatch spun again and was about to reach 42 seconds, he felt that his surroundings were falling into darkness again.

But this time, Lu Tan was well prepared. Following Shia's approach, he quickly escaped from the black mist monster and returned to reality.

He immediately looked at the wood chips in his hand.

The time displayed on the wood chip is 43 seconds.
