Chapter 246: Your own guidance
The sound of horse hooves broke through the misty red mist.
The carriage ran wildly on the empty road, attracting side glances from pedestrians on the roadside.
In the sky behind them, six splicing monster-like aliens roared past carrying pursuers. However, the pedestrians seemed not to notice them, and their eyes only followed the running carriage.
On the carriage, the male host whipped the horse's back mercilessly, the hostess held her daughter tightly in her arms, closed her eyes and let out bursts of screams, while the little girl Nora huddled in her mother's arms. His eyes were closed, but they opened a thin slit and looked curiously at the strange uncle next to him.
Lin Qi stood in the speeding carriage, facing the pursuers behind him, his pistol already retracted from its holster, and he held the ancient parchment tightly in his hand.
That was when it was determined that Lynch would try to decipher the mysterious document and Miss Valente would be the security guard, the aristocratic lady gave it to him on the grounds that it would be dangerous for anyone to decipher it together.
But this is not the parchment number (4) that has been used twice, but the parchment number (3) that has never been seen before. The main (4) number was just used on the beach yesterday, and I haven't had time to recharge it yet, so I had to switch to the 3rd one.
Lin Qi was curious about how many of them this girl had stored at home, and whether she was planning to use various level six abilities to crush her enemies to death. But facing the familiar folding fan, Lynch put away his curiosity.
I didn't expect it to actually come in handy.
Although he didn’t want to form a deadly feud, the other party was pressing harder and harder, so Lin Qi no longer gave in. Come on, do you really think I’m afraid of you?
Following Miss Valente's instructions, Lynch cut his finger and smeared the blood on the parchment. The parchment immediately acted like a greedy beast, desperately sucking the blood from his fingertips.
The next moment, countless complex information flowed directly back to Lynch's consciousness along the blood. Lynch's fingers moved naturally, writing symbols on the parchment that he could not even understand.
The chasing monster girl has led her men in black to catch up to the carriage again, with a malicious smile on her beautiful face. After a scream in the air, the mount suddenly lifted up and was about to start. The third dive.
At this moment, Lin Qixu's hand suddenly paused, then turned his wrist and spread his palm toward the sky.
Then he tightened his grip suddenly and made a motion of pulling something down.
[Power, earth, ability, embrace of the earth. 】
Sixth level ability, Embrace of the Earth, also known as: Gravity.
The pursuers in the air didn't realize what was happening. They only had time to let out a scream before they, together with their men and mounts, smashed towards the ground at an unusually fast speed.
There was a loud bang, and several huge bodies hit the ground hard, making several large craters on the hard stone floor, and even puffs of smoke and dust came out. In the big pit, the pursuers and mounts seemed to be stuck in the pit, struggling desperately, but still unable to break away from the shackles of the ground.
The carriage continued to gallop, quickly leaving the big hole in the ground behind. Lynch raised his hat, bowed slightly to the retreating pursuers, and waved his hat in farewell.
So, why do you insist on flying when you are being struck by lightning? Don’t you know the truth that the higher you fly, the harder you fall?
“Don’t stop, walk quickly, I don’t know how long I can control them.”
Lin Qi took a breath, sat back on the chair, and found that the little girl was hiding in her mother’s arms, Two curious big eyes blinked, staring at the parchment in Lynch's hand.
Let me tell you, I have seen too many naughty children, and I have one at home. Don’t let me let my guard down.
Ignoring Nora's disappointed look, Lynch put the parchment back into his pocket and followed the carriage away from the scene of the accident.
In order to avoid being recognized in the carriage, the four committed another crime, forcing an empty train to stop, grabbing it and speeding out of the city.
The city is small and quickly escapes the densely built city center.
Lin Qi then realized that this city is quite strange. Outside the city center is the suburbs. There is no such thing as suburbs, let alone occupations such as farmers.
Because there is no need at all.
There are no crops, no wild animals, the world is lonely and monotonous.
Everyone knows that a normal environment should have these, and they all know that their city does not have these, but they always think that this is absolutely normal, even though Luke has been talking about these things to many people these days It's so weird, but even with Luke's reminder, these people still can't understand what's wrong, just like Luke's family before they woke up.
Sobriety is the greatest torture. When Luke told this, Lynch could hear that his tone was full of regret. This man seemed to finally realize that his temporary stimulation-seeking behavior had put himself and his family at risk. They are all on a journey with no return in sight.
But does it really make sense to regret and apologize now?
Clara just held her daughter and lowered her head without saying a word, making the atmosphere on the carriage become more and more depressing. Soon, the vehicle drove to the edge of the city in depression.
The neighing sound of the horse broke the silence. The horse suddenly stood up, jumped forward a few steps and then stopped.
For a moment, the four people's breathing became rapid and they stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
The red mist outside the city is getting thicker and thicker. The rolling mist is like a physical wall, blocking the way of vehicles. Weird whispers come out of the red mist. It is vague but it makes people unable to neglect.
There were no moon, stars, and no gas street lights. It was impossible to see the surroundings in the thick fog. The couple seemed to be afraid of the diffuse red mist. Even though they were still a little distance apart, they still breathed quickly, looked nervous, and leaned back uncomfortably.
"Although the fog is much thicker than in the city during the day, we can barely see the road, otherwise we wouldn't be able to go out for an outing."
Luke's voice became a little trembling. "So it was like this before?" Lynch stared at the fog and frowned in thought.
"Well, that's what happened last time we came here."
As he said that, Luke asked Clara with his eyes. The other party also hugged her daughter tightly and nodded. On the contrary, the little girl Nora replied crisply. :
"Dad is right."
"What about before? Have there been any changes?"
"Before?" Luke suddenly froze and blinked blankly, "I, I..."
"You didn't You’ve never been to the outskirts of the city before. Ms. Clara, haven’t you either?”
"It seems so." Luke's wife replied timidly, "I haven't heard of anyone coming out of the city with nothing to do."
Lynch suddenly realized that there was a big problem: "If it has never happened before City, why do you think that scenery is so beautiful when you dream about it? And most importantly, why do you know the location of the target? Shouldn’t you have never seen it before?”
Luke was speechless and stared at his wife speechless. His daughter was even more confused. It was obvious that the family of three had never considered this issue.
"Huh, so you don't know what you saw in your dream, right?"
"It's just a lush green land, and you can't see the edge at a glance."
"Also There are flowers, so many flowers, more than what I saw when my parents took me to the park. They are so beautiful.”
There is a place full of flowers in such a thick blood-red mist? The more I think about this, the weirder it becomes. The key is that you really dare to go.
Forget it, I guess you were not thinking normally at that time, so you can’t care too much.
“Ah, by the way, there is a statue in the middle of that lawn.” Little Nora suddenly remembered and said enthusiastically, “A very beautiful big sister, she feels warm to the touch. , very comfortable.”
You even touch it! Are all the naughty kids in the world so scary?
Lin Qi sighed and asked, "Can you still find that place?"
At this time, the three of them nodded in affirmation, and Luke raised his finger to point in the direction.
This was even more abnormal, but Lin Qi still gritted his teeth, took out a few torches of light to activate, and stuffed one into each person's hand. The light beam emitted by the crystal was quite strong, and it barely penetrated the fog, allowing me to see a little bit of the environment.
The ground is bare gravel, and there is no shadow of plants at all. There is only a trail extending into the distance, submerged deep into the thick fog.
Such a weird environment, if you dare to go in, you will have spent so many years watching horror movies in vain. But thinking of the pursuers behind him and the increasing pollution he was getting, Lin Qi didn't dare to delay. He just wanted to find out the real situation here as soon as possible. The monster girl definitely can't count on it. Finding out the real environment may be the only way to escape.
Lin Qi looked at the red mist around him, then looked up at the red moon in the sky, and suddenly his heart moved.
“Can you guys see the moon in the sky?”
“Moon, what is that?”
"No, it's nothing."
Lin Qi understood why he couldn't see the red moon when he first came in. It seemed that the red moon in this life only rose in his heart.
That’s easy.
‘Neighbor, you are always here. Even in the fog, I can see you and help me show the direction, right? ’
[Hmm. 】
‘Can I go in? ’
[…]
‘Let’s change the question, if you don’t object to me going in. ’
[…Pfft, huh. 】
Then there is nothing to be afraid of. Let's go, neighbor.
“Lead the way, Luke.”
