The sun is high

The messenger in the mirror is walking around in his "room", and its face remains in a chaotic state as always. Along with the slightly hurried steps, traces of Xiuge's face are revealed from the depths of these chaotic shadows from time to time. come out.

In other metal disc spaces related to the power of the Dark Abyss Palace, rich shadows are also constantly vibrating.

The palace hound, which usually likes to lie down on its own territory to rest, has changed its posture. It is like a member of the wolf pack who heard the call, raising its slender head with exaggerated proportions, and countless blinking eyes. Eyes glowing with scarlet light opened one after another, and the sharp limbs that grew out of swallowing the Dark Abyss Spider stretched out, scratching and scratching the surrounding ground.

The Dark Abyss Mask, which had been completely connected to Xiuge's spirit, also had a strange reaction at this time.

Shuge saw that this dark mask, which had always been suspended quietly in the mist, began to change its appearance continuously - the faces hidden deep in Shuge's spiritual world were one after another through this mask. The mask appears.

Xiuge had seen a similar situation before the black sun was about to come, but at that time, the expressions of these Dark Abyss creatures were more upset and anxious, rather than full of a strong sense of urgency like now. Excitement and anticipation.

Obviously, the upcoming change and the last arrival of the black sun are completely different concepts.

The Destiny Roots, who were once panicked by the arrival of the black sun, did not show much fear and panic this time. However, facing their neighbors who were obviously "ecstatic", the Destiny Roots still Showed plenty of caution.

They completely dived into the depths of the spiritual lake where they lived, and used their own power to carefully seal off the lake.

This cautious attitude did not change slightly until Xiuge came to "visit".

"Are you nervous? Are you worried about the damage they will cause to your tribe?"

Xiuge was a little confused about this: "Don't worry, even if they may be a little restless, there is absolutely no way they can escape my control..."

"Thank you, Master."

The leader of the Destiny Roots tribe responded extremely humbly: "Since we are equal servants serving the master, we should naturally trust each other and the master's judgment and strength... However, in the past, the flash of the black sun often symbolized At the beginning of the 'Great Hunt', staying hidden and choosing to hide has become the instinct of our tribe, and it is really difficult to change."

After hearing this, Xiuge couldn't help but frown. He tilted his head slightly, raised his gaze slightly, and took part of the shadows in the sky into his field of vision.

However, such a simple action immediately triggered the abnormal movement of the dark abyss magic power in Xiuge's body. These powers seemed to be responding to some kind of call, flowing and moving rapidly in Xiuge's body, and Xiuge's eyes , and also directly entered the state of magic vision.

Relying on the protection of this layer of dark abyss magic, Xiuge saw that the ever-expanding dark shadow in the sky now had some new changes.

In the past few days, Xiuge has observed the black sun in the sky more than once. However, during this period, this rich and deep shadow has never changed except for its continuous growth and expansion. , But it was different now. Xiuge saw that this dark ink ball that seemed to be condensed in the sky was being stirred up by an invisible big hand.

It formed a huge black vortex.

It was an abyss twisted by invisible magic lines.

In the central area of ​​​​the abyss, something seems to be condensing and flashing. Even if Xiuge has magical vision, he cannot easily see through the essence of the color of the abyss. In other words, the instinct in his body prevents him from doing so. Explore further.

At this time, the sword-wielding hermits inside the monastery were already out in force. They were about to follow the orders issued by the Legal Committee and go to various major places to perform different tasks. Shuge and Richard boarded a vehicle. Return to the Enchanted Golem Carriage in the Embassy Quarter.

After verifying the anomaly of the black sun with his own eyes, Shuge returned his attention to his spiritual world. He found the leader of the Destiny Roots group who was still waiting for him, and continued to ask: "What did you say about the 'Big Hunt'? ', what exactly do you mean?"

"The brilliance of the black sun is always changing. Sometimes it declines and sometimes expands...and whenever it ends its decline or reaches the peak of strength, it will directly announce to the world...and launch a massive round of 'Hunting'."

The leader of the group said slowly: "We have the revelation of the gods, so whenever the hunting starts, we will choose to hide, so that the group can avoid the cruel hunting and avoid becoming the target of the hunters."

"Hunter?"

Shuge repeated the word softly. He inevitably glanced at the palace hound in the darkness, and then he asked: "So, have you experienced hunting itself? Or, have you ever experienced it yourself?" Have you really seen those stalkers?”

"Never."

The leader of the root tribe quickly gave a negative answer: "We absolutely follow the revelation given by the gods, and for the sake of the continuation of the tribe, once we start hiding, we will no longer easily spy on the outside world until the gods' revelation comes again, and Remind me that the hunting is over..."

"So, how long does each 'Big Hunt' last?"

"It could be long, it could be short."

The leader of the group replied: "Sometimes, stalkers are active for only a few days, which is enough to wipe out all the prey from the world, but sometimes, the prey rise up to resist, but they can persist for an extremely long time... Master, the time scale division that you are familiar with, this process can even last for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years."

"So what you're saying is that no matter how long this so-called 'Great Hunt' lasts, the hunters will definitely win in the end?"

Faced with Shuge's question, the leader of the Roots tribe showed some hesitation, but it finally answered truthfully: "That should be the case. Maybe there are prey that can survive, but what we know is limited after all... In the long memory of the ethnic group, we have not been able to find an exact case."

After asking this, Xiuge had no more questions for the time being, so he transferred his mind to the room where the messenger in the mirror was. Feeling Xiuge's approach, the pacing misty figure immediately stopped. And "looked" in the direction of Xiuge, as if waiting for his order.

The power of these Dark Abyss creations is common. At the same time that the messenger in the mirror reacted, the palace hound and the dark mask also stopped their current movements. They left their previous positions and gathered in the mirror. Come to the messenger's "room".

Among them, the palace hound seemed to be aware of some subtle emotions in Shuge. Instead of its usual fierce and arrogant attitude, it actually lowered its head to Shuge and lowered its huge body to the ground. superior.

This slightly humble gesture relieved Xiuge's mood a little, so he looked at the messenger and the dark mask in the mirror again. His eyes with a clear warning lingered on them for two seconds. The huge The metal disc also hummed and trembled slightly.

When the vibration swept through the "territory" and "lair" of the Dark Abyss creations, the rich black shadows that symbolized the power of the Dark Abyss Palace also trembled.

This is the first time Xiuge has formally issued a clear warning to the creations that obey him since he had the metal disk.

From the previous emotions of these Dark Abyss creations, Xiu Ge very clearly captured a disturbing hint of "betrayal". It seems that the current Dark Abyss Palace can still exert a considerable degree of influence on them, and this is why Xiu Ge Something that Ge wants to completely cut off.

Fortunately, the warning this time was very effective. Amidst the continuous vibrations from the metal disk, the Dark Abyss creatures quickly escaped from that abnormal state, and the dark masks were quietly suspended in the air again. In the center of his room, the palace hound also returned to the center of his territory and fell asleep again.

The Messenger in the Mirror, who has the most special nature, seems a little confused. As a being who is also very intelligent and even has independent will, it doesn't seem to understand why it was so excited before.

As they settled back down, Shuge's metal disc seemed to have returned to its original appearance. The running rat, which covered its head with three tails, stretched out its head again. It carefully observed its surroundings, but still didn't dare. Easily enter the territory belonging to the palace hound.

Charron's Touch returned to its original activity. As the creature that has followed Shuge for the longest time and is also the most "honest", it simply waved its body towards Shuge as a greeting.

As for the roots of destiny, they are still shrinking inside the spiritual pool. Obviously, what they are afraid of is not only the commotion in the metal disc, but the surging frenzy outside.

Although he had stabilized his "rear area" for the time being, Xiuge's mood did not get better. The vision that was happening in the sky and the information about the "big hunt" revealed by the Destiny Roots group made him feel very worried. Not stable.

"According to what the Destiny Roots say, now is probably the process of the Black Sun from declining to strong... The so-called 'Great Hunt' may be during this process, those beings in the Dark Abyss Palace are facing Random killings initiated by Vann.”

"So, in today's Van En, who will become the target of those stalkers?"

"An ethnic group? A country? Or..."

Xiuge didn't think too much. The carriage had stopped, so he opened his eyes and got out of the carriage first.

At the front gate, he saw Wei Lin who had just gotten out of the car. The two exchanged glances and then quickly walked towards the house.

At this time, due to the emergency announcement issued by the Legal Committee, the members of the Dawn Society who were out had also finished their visits and returned to their temporary residence in the embassy area.

Shuge was not in a hurry to listen to their work report, nor was he in a hurry to explain to them the strange things in the sky. Instead, he called all the members of the Dawn Society, including Richard, over.

At Shuge's request, all members of the Dawn Club lay down on the benches in the living room one by one, allowing Shuge to check their eyes and mental state.

Fortunately, the members of the Dawn Society seemed to have quite good self-control. None of them looked directly at the strange phenomenon in the sky, and naturally they did not suffer any symptoms due to this.

As for Wei Lin...

Xiuge did not ask her to lie down directly like others. When they met at the door, he had already carefully observed Weilin's eyes. Everything was normal and the magic power was operating extremely smoothly.

After dealing with these hidden dangers, Xiuge finally breathed a sigh of relief. He avoided Wei Lin's slightly subtle gaze, turned to a Dawn Club member and asked: "The event originally scheduled to be held this evening Is the meeting cancelled?”

"We haven't been notified yet. The people in the Legal Committee are very busy right now. I'm afraid it will take another hour or two before they have time to deal with these matters."

After hearing this, Shuge nodded slightly, so he ordered everyone to stay indoors and contact the Dawn Society station through a secret ritual to quickly report the situation here to Meyer and others.

After making a series of arrangements, Xiuge and Weilin came upstairs in tacit understanding. The two quickly exchanged their experiences and discoveries in the morning, and then Xiuge made a decision in his heart.

He looked at Wei Lin and said seriously: "I need to stay in the room...well, for a while. The time may vary from one hour to three or four hours. During this period, it's best not to let anyone disturb me. Okay. ?"

Wei Lin did not show any hesitation in response to Xiuge's very strange request. She didn't even ask what Xiuge wanted to do, so she nodded quickly: "I will help you maintain the magic of the room and residence. Ceremony, but try not to make it too long. If someone from the Legal Committee comes, you still need to come forward yourself."

"As soon as possible."

Shuge nodded seriously, and then he walked into his room. Only two seconds after closing the door, he heard the reassuring buzz of magic, which was the sound when the protective ritual was completed.

So, Xiuge threw down his windbreaker, closed the curtains, and summoned the roots of destiny that created the illusion.

"Theseus... I hope you will not disappear this time, and I also hope that the changes that happened today have nothing to do with you..."

Xiuge prayed silently in his heart, and then lay down on the bed.
