Chapter 703: You Found the Right Person
Lin Qiye and Yu Gongqinghui stood in front of a small cave, gazing at the astonishing scene before them, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Lin Qiye reached out and gently touched a wooden teacup that was hovering in mid-air beside him. The cup began to slowly rotate in response to his touch, drifting for a moment in the direction of the force before gradually coming to a stop, still suspended in the air.
“What on earth is this place?” Lin Qiye exclaimed, looking around in astonishment. “How are these things floating in mid-air? Why is there the wreckage of a human city at the bottom of the deep sea?”
Yu Gongqinghui was silent for a moment before replying, “My master said this is a place of chaos and disorder, existing here long before the gods created the world.”
Before the creation of the gods?
Hearing this term, Lin Qiye pondered.
The time of the gods’ creation was over a hundred years ago, coinciding perfectly with the arrival of the mist. This meant that this place existed before the mist descended? Or perhaps… the arrival of the mist created this place?
Due to the faint blue light drifting in the sky, they could barely see their surroundings without using a flashlight. To avoid being detected by the mysterious person who had entered the ruins before them, they simultaneously turned off their flashlights and put them away.
As Yu Gongqinghui was about to search the area, Lin Qiye called out to him.
“Wait a moment.” Lin Qiye looked up at the sky. “I need to conduct an experiment…”
Yu Gongqinghui was somewhat puzzled but stood quietly in place, waiting for Lin Qiye’s actions.
Lin Qiye raised the tip of his right hand, a hint of night color appearing in his eyes. At the same time, an extreme darkness spread rapidly from his fingertip!
【Ultimate Darkness Invasion】.
As this darkness spread, the night color in Lin Qiye’s eyes deepened, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed. He stood there, exuding a faint imperial majesty that made anyone who glanced at him feel a sense of reverence.
At that moment, he seemed to become the ruler of the night.
Yu Gongqinghui, standing nearby, keenly sensed the change in Lin Qiye and showed a look of surprise in his eyes.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Qiye use the Forbidden Ruins, and it was also the first time he felt the aura emanating from him. Although he didn’t know exactly what Lin Qiye was doing, he could roughly guess that this was a unique method of their invaders.
As the darkness spread, most of the street was covered, and a hint of joy appeared in Lin Qiye’s eyes.
He had used the Forbidden Ruins on such a large scale, yet that mysterious gaze still hadn’t fallen upon him, as if it didn’t exist at all. This indicated that this so-called place of chaos and disorder was outside the coverage of that mysterious gaze.
Here, he could freely use the Forbidden Ruins.
This was undoubtedly great news for him.
Lin Qiye retracted the Forbidden Ruins, and the surrounding darkness rolled back into his body like a tide. He turned to Yu Gongqinghui, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“You’ve found the right helper…”
Before Yu Gongqinghui could react to what Lin Qiye meant, the latter slowly extended his hand and pressed down on the ground beneath them.
In the next moment, dozens of massive summoning magic circles simultaneously burst open!
In the dreamlike glow of the summoning magic, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at the enormous wreckage of the city before him, murmuring to himself:
“No matter how well you hide, you’re just one person…
And I,
Have the entire asylum of the gods.”
…
On the other side of the ruins.
A figure cloaked in black, like a ghost, silently floated across the empty streets, leaving no trace on the ground.
He lightly tapped his toes on the steps and gracefully leaped onto a building’s wreckage that was embedded in the wasteland. He ran up the nearly vertical wall and stopped at the very top of the building’s remains, his gaze sweeping over the dark and vast ruins, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Up until now, not a single alarm has been triggered… Could I be mistaken? Are those two not here for this place?”
If Lin Qiye were present, he would hear that the figure was not speaking Japanese but rather standard Mandarin.
He slowly raised his head, and beneath the black hood was a young man with a buzz cut, his eyes sharp like a wolf’s, now furrowed in thought.
His name was Wei Dong, a member of the Xie Society, and a “paratrooper” involved in the current “Human Circle” destruction plan.
Since seeing those two young men at “Hokkaido Yamazaki Appliance Repair,” he had sensed something unusual about them. Although their clothing concealed it, he could still keenly detect the long knives hidden at their waists.
He had been in this country for several months and was aware of the existence of the Huo Tsukito. If he wasn’t mistaken, those two young men should be the two wielders of the Huo Tsukito.
However, in Wei Dong’s eyes, whether they were Huo Tsukito wielders or Oracles, they were all natives of this “Human Circle.” To him, who was carrying out the “Human Circle” destruction plan, they were all enemies.
He had already installed the signal transmitter, and soon the “Sentinels” would arrive. To prevent any mishaps in the plan, he needed to eliminate these two enemies as quickly as possible.
This ruin was not a place where he could use the Huo Tsukito, so if he wanted to kill these two Huo Tsukito wielders, this was the best battlefield!
However, he had set up countless alarm traps along the way, waiting quietly for a long time, yet not a single one had been triggered… This made him begin to doubt his judgment.
Could it be that they really didn’t come here?
Just as Wei Dong was deep in thought, the pixelated electronic watch on his wrist suddenly lit up, displaying a scarlet triangular symbol, with a string of numbers in the upper left corner: “016.”
Alarm 16 had been triggered!
They were here!
Wei Dong’s eyes sharpened, and he quickly leaped down from the top of the building, lightly touching the ground with his toes, his figure darting like a ghost in a certain direction.
He had already memorized the locations of every alarm he had set, and without a moment’s pause, he sprinted toward the vicinity of alarm 16, scanning his surroundings until he finally locked onto a specific position.
He silently climbed onto the ruins of a four-story building, reached a dark small window, and removed the gun magazine from his back, opening it to reveal the complex and fragmented gun parts inside.
His hands swiftly retrieved the parts, quickly assembling them into a sniper rifle, which he steadied behind the window.
Through the high-powered scope, he began to search the area around the location of alarm 16, little by little.
Finally, he spotted the figure that had triggered the alarm.
That…
Was a cute raccoon wearing a deep blue caregiver uniform.
