What kind of ability can steal time?
Lu Xin can't even imagine it.
But in his gut, time was stolen from him.
The concept is that when the surrounding becomes a swamp and you start to submerge yourself, there will be a process of sinking from your feet and sinking into the swamp little by little. When the arms that grow out like dead branches around you grab you, there will also be a process of coming from far away to the near, then grabbing yourself, and then wrapping yourself around. These processes all take time.
With this time, you can respond.
But now, he didn't have time to respond. The other party seemed to have omitted a lot of processes at once.
Before he could react, his feet were already stuck in the swamp, and his arms like dead branches were directly wrapped around his body.
In terms of time, the other party has too many advantages over itself.
"Kakakaka..."
While thinking, Lu Xin's body was already covered with withered arms, and the swamp had sunk into his lower abdomen.
The sound of the dry arms shaking is crisp and dry, which makes people feel bored.
The swamp with its huge suction force immediately bound both arms, making it almost impossible to use any physical strength to break free.
A flash of coldness flashed across Lu Xin's face. He had no time to tell how this kind of time was stolen, but the spiritual power around him bloomed instantly, and the huge twisting power enveloped him in an instant. Those dry arms were suddenly broken into pieces, and they were spread like wet firewood in the surrounding swamp. Section after section, it twists and turns on the ground.
The next moment, Lu Xin will use the power of spiritual shock to come out of the swamp.
But there was another flower in front of him, and he suddenly found that more dry arms were wrapped around his body, in circles.
The sharp nails on his arms were picked up hard and dug into his own flesh.
The swamp, on the other hand, has sunk itself deeper, submerging itself from the lower abdomen to its waist.
Has time been stolen again?
"It turns out that your level of awakening is lower than I thought..."
"You are never it, so you can't be like it and ignore the existence of logic..."
"..."
On the Administrative Building floor in front, there was a mental tremor, and fatigue followed the will.
The big snake's voice was condescending, with a certain contemptuous attitude, and it stared at Lu Xin coldly.
The two windows located at the eyes are extremely bright.
Lu Xin looked up suddenly and saw that the lights in the two windows were so bright that it was unreal.
"So that's how it is..."
Facing the two lights, he suddenly showed a happy expression on his face.
Nightmare Serpent fell silent. It seemed that Lu Xin's expression at this time was somewhat beyond its expectations.
"Are all the things that come out of the abyss just so pretentious?"
There was even a little smile in Lu Xin's voice.
Even though he was entangled with countless withered hands, even though the swamp was swallowing his body bit by bit, he didn't panic at all.
It's like, anyway, the only thing that is injured is this body. Even if you are swallowed by the swamp, nothing can hurt you. Therefore, you have a kind of calmness and calmness that others can't describe, and you can always maintain your sanity.
This made it easy for him to understand this opponent's abilities.
From the information we got from Black Jack before, we already know that Mental Monster in Ghostfire Marshland is a mysterious creature related to sleep or nightmares. After the monster in the abyss came out, of course, he controlled it as soon as possible.
Use its ability to deal with yourself, and naturally it uses nightmare abilities.
It's not that time is stolen, it's just that sleep is given invisibly.
The incident was caused by the theft of the sleep of Black Marsh City residents. The investigation by Lu Xin and others also followed this clue.
However, now, they have discovered that part of the reason why Black Marsh City residents lose sleep is to cultivate a certain kind of Mental Monster, but they obviously did not expect that this sleep is not only nutrients, but also a kind of power, or a weapon.
Letting a person fall asleep without knowing it is equivalent to stealing his time.
Lu Xin discovered this.
In his own consciousness, he was just standing in this swamp, facing the overwhelming power.
However, my time seems to be speeding up every time.
It was obvious that the opponent's attack was still on its way, but unexpectedly, the attack suddenly came to him, without any intermediate process.
Every time he was dazzled, the opponent's attack accelerated several times.
The reason is because he fell into sleep without knowing it.
Huge sleep came from time to time, and his time became intermittent.
But how can I resist this kind of sleep?
For a while, Lu Xin vaguely felt like he was back when he first joined Black Marsh City.
I heard the girl playing "Childhood" on the guitar.
Perhaps, the cicadas and butterflies on the trees by the pond are memories from everyone's childhood...
But Lu Xin's memory seems to be more about when he was in class. If he didn't pay attention, he would feel sleepy and fall asleep...
It obviously felt like it was just a nod, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Old Director's face close to me...
Who can resist the sudden sleepiness in childhood classroom?
"What happened?"
Next to it, in the office upstairs, Han Bing, Gecko and others were worried to the extreme. They looked at the square below with wide eyes. Even they could clearly see the giant python walking on the ground and on the wall. They could even see that the square had turned into a black swamp, and saw Lu Xin being pulled into the mire by countless arms...
But the key point is...
"Why hasn't Mr. Shan Bing ever fought back?"
"..."
In their field of vision, it seemed that things had changed after Lu Xin shot and forced out the Mental Monster.
He actually stood there calmly, letting countless arms stretch out from the ground and grab his body.
Let these arms drag him into the swamp.
Throughout the process, he raised his head several times and seemed to want to fight back several times.
But in the end, he did nothing.
"Does the captain have to act like a big boss at this point..."
Gecko had already cried out, "Come up and let the villain beat you first, and then smile evilly when the villain has beaten enough..."
"Say, it's my turn, right?"
"..."
Gecko's words suddenly made people's hearts tremble.
It sounds so perverted, but why does it feel vaguely like the style of Mr. Single Soldier?
"I... I'm going to help my brother..."
Also at this time, on the edge of the square, my sister couldn't help but worry, screamed, and crawled forward quickly.
But when he climbed a few meters away, he saw that Mom and his father did not follow, so he crawled back again.
He raised his face in confusion. "Why don't you help brother?"
Mom was silent. His father looked at the silent Mom and was also silent.
"It's not that we don't want to help him."
Mom couldn't bear the look in his sister's eyes, so he sighed lowly and said, "It's him who refuses us to help him."
"..."
The father remained coldly silent for a while, then whispered, "Is this also what you expected?"
Mom turned his head and glanced at his father, slightly straightened his face, and after a while, he said softly:
"What can be expected is the direction of things, but no one can predict the details of how things will develop."
"Details often have the ability to change the entire direction."
"..."
"Hehehe, it turns out you are not sure either..."
My father's laughter was hollow and indifferent. "If I had known this, I should have seized every opportunity to leave..."
Mom After a while, he slowly turned to look at his father, and gently stretched out two fingers.
My father was suddenly very alert, and at the same time a little angry and irritable. "What do you want, what do you want to say?"
"I would say there may be times when you feel like you have an opportunity to leave."
Mom said softly, "But that's just your illusion."
The muscles on his father's face were distorted and his expression was unusually angry. He looked like he was about to rush up and fight Mom.
But in the end, he held back and said angrily, "What should we do?"
"What to do?"
Mom slowly turned around and said, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Even a young lion can do a few somersaults under the hands of a hyena, but if it doesn't do a few somersaults, how can it grow up?"
"So annoying..."
Black branched arms had wrapped around his whole body, and the sticky swamp had submerged up to his chest.
Those dry arms were touching his face, and they were reaching into his mind to search for something. This feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but in this depressing and dull process, he could not even effectively fight back or resist.
Because at the level of mental strength, whether it is counterattack or resistance, you need your own will to mobilize your mental power.
In other words, it requires concentration.
However, the kind of sleep that came from time to time made him wake up again and again. After each time he woke up, it took a little time to remember what he was doing and what he was thinking just now, and then there was a pause.
"So what if you discover this logic? I will drown you in the sleep of the whole city."
On the Administrative Hall building, the lights are brighter.
That kind of burning, even dazzling light is giving me a huge amount of sleep.
To be honest, the feeling of sleepiness coming over me from time to time and letting myself fall into a dreamless sleep is actually very comfortable.
Especially for an adult who has grown up and has been busy with work for many years, and it is usually rare to even have a dreamless night, Lu Xin feels this way, this truly deep sleep even makes him moved...
However, now is the time to do business after all.
Therefore, he gradually felt a little impatient.
Problems always have to be solved...
When he finally woke up again, he bit his lip gently, and his sharp teeth instantly cut through the skin.
The salty blood flooded the tip of the tongue, refreshing people.
With the pain of his bitten lip, he raised his head and looked at Administrative Building.
The monster's face still appeared on the building, and its condescending attitude was annoying.
Looking down, he saw that the swamp was up to his neck.
And those hands are like shackles wrapped around his body, binding his body and even his will.
A huge amount of sleepiness enveloped the body, giving people the feeling that nothing mattered except sleep.
When sleepiness is strong, it can be as heavy as a mountain and crush everything.
Except...
Lu Xin bit his lip, and black particles suddenly began to boil in his eyes.
When those strange hands began to grab his brain, something in the depths of his mind began to be suddenly disturbed. Endless mental ripples gradually surged around him and quickly spread into the distance.
The surrounding swamp also became more turbulent, even setting off layers of waves.
Lu Xin suddenly seemed to have an extra ocean around him.
The turbulent mental power like a rage set off a huge wave, swallowing up all the endless sleepiness. In the middle of the sea, Lu Xin, the sleepiness on his face had completely disappeared, and he was looking at Nightmare Serpent quietly.
"How is this possible..."
Administrative Hall The being on the building subconsciously sent out fluctuations in spiritual power. "You don't have such high authority..."
"You... shouldn't have such a powerful spiritual ocean..."
"..."
He couldn't not panic, because just when it felt like it had mastered everything, he felt that his pollution was being diluted. The kind of human sleep that almost gathered a whole city of people should be able to drown any ability user, even Mental Lord may not be able to resist it, but unfortunately, such a huge pollution characteristic is being diluted quickly.
Lu Xin has great authority and he can understand it.
But he didn't understand why he had such a powerful spiritual power.
It was a spiritual magnitude like a sea.
"The sleep of a city is given back to a city."
"Such a simple truth..."
Amid the terror of the monster, Lu Xin walked out of the swamp, seemingly a little strange. "Don't you even understand?"
Beside him, a strange sound suddenly began to appear, like a tsunami, rising violently.
That was the sound of snoring.
There was nothing visible around him, but suddenly there was the sound of snoring. Originally, even this sound would not be noticed by anyone, but because the snoring was too loud and too numerous, even Mizang couldn't hide it.
Lu Xin returned sleep to this sleepless city, and the people who borrowed from this city diluted the huge sleepiness.
"But you shouldn't have such powerful authority..."
Nightmare Serpent's mental fluctuations are still conveying his will, and you can feel the panic in this will.
"I don't know what authority you are talking about..."
"But during this time, I did have a feeling that made me particularly uncomfortable and even a little scared..."
"If this is divinity..."
He explained slowly and looked forward. The black particles in his eyes swarmed even more, turning into pitch black.
"Then I can only say that you know absolutely nothing about divine power."
"..."
When he finished saying this, countless black particles filled the air around him at the same time, causing huge waves.
The "Crimson Moon" series of cards are now online. If you are interested, you can try them out. What needs to be emphasized is that there is an extra story written by Old Ghost in the prize, which is about what happened in the orphanage. The inspiration came to me at that time. It was originally going to be published when Teacher Lu and Lu Xin were reminiscing, but because it was too disruptive to the rhythm, it was not published and was written separately.
It's not that Old Ghost is boasting, at least judging from the current readers' reactions...
... It's awesome!!
