The Death Knell

The dense blue lights in the city lit up one after another, indicating that children with psychic potential were being taken away one by one. They were previously locked in different cells and underwent almost the same torture.

But after being taken away by the death knell, will his life be improved in the future? Or fell into deeper darkness? That's an unknown.

Those liquid batteries that looked like big blue jars and those strange-shaped lightning rods were also taken away and placed with the big tree and the children first.

"Let's go to Concarino."

Su Ming looked up at the cloak. It was still flying in the dense lightning in the sky, absorbing the falling lightning. Judging from its tossing flight path, it should be quite happy.

However, after the two masters and disciples left, the thunder and lightning in the sky naturally fell on the most prominent building complex in the center of the lightning strike. In just a few breaths, the dense lightning struck the place where blood was flowing all over the place not long ago. The town turned into a scorched earth.

Without looking at the burning buildings behind him, Su Ming hurried towards the edge of the lightning strike. There was a small town called Concarino. In fact, it had no real meaning. It was just a place in the wilderness. Just a landmark.

You don't even need to enter the town, as long as you see it and turn to the direction of the snow-covered path, you can quickly reach Chaos Castle.

Both the master and the apprentice flew at vacation speed. The journey of about a thousand kilometers took almost a minute and they soon arrived at the edge of the lightning strike and saw the half-black and half-white small town.

"There are so many roses here." The mysterious guest looked at the scenery in the town with a little surprise.

The climate of Concarino is very special. It can be said that half of the town is summer and half is winter. Like a yin and yang fish, there is a dividing line that can be easily seen in the air.

On one side is the heat brought by the lightning rods constantly bombarded by lightning in the sky within the lightning strike. On the other side is the roar of ice and snow from the distance, sweeping in from the direction of the Dark Tower.

At the junction of these two extreme environments, there is a rose field, where the mutated roses are blooming brightly.

"What is lacking in the middle world does not mean that it is also lacking in the more advanced end of the world. Many gray hairs took the roses here and sneaked into Lourdes City. While performing the mission of the Blood King, they rode on the heads of human tools to enjoy themselves."

Su Ming smiled and led the student to the ground, to the rose field, and picked a few flowers and handed them to her.

Here, the roses are worthless at all, and there is no one to even guard them. They can even be said to grow like weeds.

The Lord of Lourdes City collected roses for his wife, and the Blood King took the opportunity to send someone to take the roses to receive the reward, and Gray Hair sneaked into the city justifiably.

Not only do they steal intelligence and cooperate with the "Wolf"'s actions, they are also ready to subvert Ludd's regime at any time.

Not only that city, but all the towns in the middle world were basically infiltrated by the Blood King's men. That is to say, the madman's attention was on crushing the Dark Tower, and he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the human world.

Even though they didn't get any attention from the Blood King, after receiving their rewards, the spies in Ludd City, the Gray Furs, lived a much better life than they did in the end of the world. Among the rat men, being sent to lurk in Ludd was a first-class mission. .

There are the best places to go, but naturally there are also the worst tasks, such as the North Central Electronics Industry Group. It is true that the gray hair can wear a human face and sneak in, but these mice can't distinguish whether the people around them are real people.

Once something goes wrong when talking to an android, it will be immediately discovered by big data and killed on the spot.

The mysterious guest took the flower, lowered his head and smelled it gently.

The delicate petals were full of the smell of radioactive dust and chemicals, and the floral fragrance was almost non-existent, but she was still very happy. She carefully took out some dollars to wrap the stems and put them back in her space pocket.

"Thank you, teacher. I will use a secret method to preserve them when I get home."

"Let's go. There's nothing interesting in this town. It's full of mutant slave workers under the Blood King. This is just a farm. Let's head towards the center of the snow, to Chaos Castle."

Su Ming waved to the cloak to stop eating it and to leave the thunder-struck place. Then the cloak slowly fell down, changed back into a large flowered handkerchief, and was tied back to the neck of the Supreme Mage.

The next journey is a vast snowfield. Occasionally, some high mountains will appear black in the snow-white world like seaside rocks, but that is just a fleeting scenery and is not the norm.

Thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow are not an exaggerated description here. Only a very small number of mutated animals and plants can survive in this harsh environment, and each of those things is weirder than the last. It is not even possible to say whether they are living creatures or not. .

The most active creature in the snowfield is a black smoke-like creature. It seems to have no entity, or is like a layer of black gauze. They will float back and forth in the low-altitude layer of the snowfield to feed, and their staple food is other species of the same kind.

After all, if you want to eat something else, you have to be talented.

But this does not mean that the snowfield is completely silent. In fact, there is a road in the snowfield. The narrow road from Concarino to Chaos Castle. If you don't look carefully in the sky, you can only vaguely see a thin line. faint black line.

But it's a road, maintained by a little robot, and only it.

Su Ming and Mysterio didn't fly far when they saw it. Although it was responsible for clearing snow on hundreds of kilometers of roads, its size was the same as that of a normal human boy, and it looked like a household model.

At this time, it was cleaning the road bit by bit with a broom and shovel, as slowly as a snail, and this was also a cycle.

The heavy snow in the sky will not stop, and its mission will never end. It just keeps returning to both ends of the road, doing the same job every day.

Although it works in the snowfield, it is not a subordinate of the Blood King. It belongs to the North Central Positronics Industry. Like Killing Enemies and Defeating Them, it is a creation before the cataclysm and a survivor of the restart of the universe.

Of course, it also has some procedural flaws.

"Hello, robot." Su Ming landed, touched its cold back shell, and said hello.

The robot's head turned around, scanned the visitor with its electronic eyes, and answered in a rhythmic electronic voice:

"Hello, hello, I, I, I am Wei, William D-746541-M, maintenance robot, multi-function version."

Yes, its programming problem lies in the language module, simply put, it stutters.

"Liana, this is the snow-clearing robot, also called Stutterwe." Su Ming let go of the robot, and it immediately began to continue its work, leaving the two of them behind, not even caring what they said.

Mysterio tilted his head: "I remember that in the world of "The Return of the Clown", the little boy George who was supposed to die, his brother was also named Stutterway?"

"Yes, they are essentially the same person." Su Ming looked at the snowmobile dragged by the robot: "There is a saying that when William first approached Pennywise the Clown to try to avenge his brother, he actually Shang was already dead, and his soul came to the middle world a long time ago, and was stuffed into this housekeeper robot by Northern Electronics."

"The theory of parallel worlds?" Mysterio smiled, jumped on someone's snowmobile and sledge, sat on it and was dragged away: "William is not dead, then the story of the town will continue; but if he is dead, Is there another possibility that continues in this world?”

"Don't forget, the middle world and the apocalyptic world are not the same world. They actually span three parallel worlds." Su Ming rolled his eyes and signaled the mysterious guest to hurry up so as not to increase the workload of the robot: "Also, The road it clears is Chaos Castle in front of it, do you see the sky over there?"

Only then did the mysterious guest notice that in the distant horizon, at the end of the sky was a dazzling twisted red line.
