Chapter 260 A Snap of the Fingers

Someday.

In a completely dark maze.

Standing alone, he could see nothing, only darkness.

Not even his soul ability can be sensed.

To be more precise, his ability 'disappeared'.

Temporarily suppressed by some kind of rule.

This is the scary thing about the rules. Once triggered, there will be no reason or warning, just like a bug...you can only deal with it according to its "prescribed gameplay".

A few minutes ago, he encountered a magical beast, which was very similar to the magical beasts in the human world. It was a small life form.

What's more important is that after walking for these years, he met another intelligent creature besides the skeleton in the city in the house, and he could even speak human words. Take the initiative to approach and ask where you want to go, and it can lead the way.

At that time, Hao noticed something unusual, but he... still answered the call.

If he doesn't answer the call, the rule won't be triggered and he won't be in the game.

The moment the two parties communicated, a 'game' was formed. The next second, everything around them disappeared and changed like a mirage. Several high walls seemed to surround and gather in the void. Then, a majestic building was constructed. While the soul power was 'erased', at the last moment when he fell into darkness, Hao saw the layers of stairs and corridors built inside the building, much like a maze.

After thinking about it, Hao looked up and saw the only golden clock that appeared in the dark space. The hands on it began to move, as if they were timing.

"It's made by humans..."

Hazy smiled.

Along the way, he encountered too many rules-based life forms, and the rules were played in all sorts of strange ways.

There are people who can jump into the survival zone according to numerical calculations, and there are also people who can judge the authenticity and fakeness, making the risk index fluctuate up and down, getting bigger and smaller... countless.

He is now familiar with the power of rules.

"So...what kind of gameplay is this?"

He stared at the golden clock.

Needless to say, this thing cannot be destroyed, it is just a reminder given to the participants in the game.

The best way to break the rules is to understand the rules and find loopholes according to how the rules work.

Alluka's wish is like this...and so is the egg in the pot of the Kajin Empire, including the games from back then.

"I'm here."

"Don't you want to know where that door is? Catch me...I'll tell you."

In the darkness, a voice kept coming from all directions, confusing the audience.

However, Hao couldn't see him at all, and now he only had physical strength left.

"hide and seek?"

It seems vague but not clear.

The next second, he suddenly took a quick step towards the source of the sound.

His body hit something hard, and the huge force caused it to collapse, like a wall.

Using energy to create a maze in reality out of thin air, using the same method as the materialization system, would be unthinkable in the human world, and the consumption of mental power alone would be endless. But in the Dark Continent, this level of energy... can be seen everywhere.

"The darkness is not empty. There are real bunkers, which makes it more difficult to catch the target." Hazy nodded.

He could kill the instigator before this rule field even unfolded, that is, the eloquent monster.

The premise is, don’t have any communication.

The monster should be able to sense the expectation in his heart and find itself through the source of desire in the 'door'.

This is also the hunting method of this creature. Even if it is not him but other creatures that I bump into today, it is estimated that the other creature has the ability to communicate with the target and bring the items or information that the target wants to get.

"Let's play with you."

Then, Hao began to capture. As long as there was a little abnormal noise in the dark space, he could rush over in an instant relying on his pure explosive power. But firstly, he couldn't see things, and there were interference from walls and corridors. Secondly, the opponent was very flexible, and his originally weak strength seemed to be blessed by rules, which made Hao always exhausted and exhausted.

An hour later, the golden bell hanging overhead suddenly rang, deafening.

As soon as he raised his head, he frowned and his sense of smell disappeared.

"Deprived of the five senses?"

Happy.

The game continues.

Every hour, the bell rings.

First comes smell, then taste, touch, sight, and hearing.

As time goes by, the deprived perception becomes more and more critical. When hearing is erased, it means that Hazy has failed.

Because in this dark space, if he wants to catch the target, what he needs to rely on most is hearing.

When hearing was lost, the monster that had been hiding in the darkness took the initiative to appear in a provocative manner, wandering around Habitat, and even flicked the human's forehead with his finger, but Habitat didn't react at all.

Shaped like stone sculpture.

The golden clock has not disappeared, indicating that the game is still going on.

But Hao can no longer move. He can't feel anything except his inner thoughts.

Another hour later, one of Lun's arms was suddenly dismembered as the bell rang. His pain did not disappear, so Lun knew that he had lost an arm.

The magical beast with white fur and fangs and rabbit ears jumped back and forth in front of Long, lying on the ground laughing and rolling.

It seemed that the scene happening in front of him was pleasing to the eye.

Another arm, plus two legs...

Only half of Hajime's body was left flat on the ground in the darkness. The monster looked surprised. Even so, this human being was not dead yet. The life of flesh and blood is terrifyingly powerful, and the body seems to have reached the point where it can control cells, so...as long as the wound muscles are contracted, one can still survive.

Of course, this magical sight is not unnatural in the Dark Continent.

The monster yawned, feeling sleepy, and lay next to Long, wanting to see how long the human could last.

It becomes more and more relaxed, because humans have no room to resist...the latter cannot sense the 'outside world' at all, let alone its existence.

After a long time, blood began to leak from Hazy's mouth and nose, and his organs suffered serious injuries as time went by.

"about there."

Hazy's heart moved.

Then, in the dark.

The monster, which had its legs crossed and its toes raised like a human being, was just about to fall asleep on the ground, and waited until it opened its eyes to collect its body.

Suddenly, the human being with only half of his body suddenly burst out with blood, spraying out from his pores in dense masses.

In an instant, there was a hail of bullets all around.

The terrifying thing is that these blood beads obviously did not spatter very far, but they destroyed all the bunkers within a few thousand meters in the darkness.

Even the monsters that were close at hand were instantly penetrated into a sieve.

This rule-based life form could not escape, and before it died, it looked at Hazy with extremely frightened eyes.

This is it...first failed hunt!

Once the monster died, the entire dark space was like a torn piece of rags blowing away in the wind, and the golden bell disintegrated like broken glass.

The surroundings have returned to their original appearance.

The clear sky, the shade of trees, and the grass are all manifested one by one.

The soul of the 'Warcraft' entered the body, and all the hazy perceptions returned. The blood that flew out also gathered in the air after a short period of time, and poured into the body again. Then, granulation sprouted and limbs sprouted from the wounds all over his body. Within a few minutes, he was completely healed.

Stand still.

Hao walked forward, kicked a piece of minced meat, and said lightly: "It's too simple..."

This place is not close to the core area of ​​the Dark Continent, and there are very few intelligent creatures. Therefore... this 'Warcraft' must have never dealt with intelligent creatures, and its hunting experience is based on other simple-thinking life forms. How do you know? Are people's hearts evil?

First the five senses, then the limbs, then the internal organs...

Hazy judgment, this rule game lasts for twenty-four hours, and only at the last moment, the 'brain' is destroyed.

The living being that imposes the rules knows the rules, and the power of the rules will definitely be used to his benefit.

But it is not absolute.

As participants, although one is active and the other is passive, there is always a certain 'potential' balance hidden.

After entering the maze, not all abilities disappear, but the abilities judged to be the 'strongest'. Therefore, all he temporarily loses is the power of his soul, but Senna and Ike's additional means are still there, namely range attacks and time. Backtrace.

The rule is that it is the opponent's home field. After playing for a few hours, Hao knew that it was impossible for him to catch it!

Therefore, instead of wasting your efforts, it is better to create an illusion and lure the target to take the bait.

The rules of hide and seek, in contact with both parties, his blood... is also a part of himself.

Hao guessed that after he lost the threat, the monster would definitely lower its guard, maybe get closer, maybe keep a distance...but it shouldn't be too far, Senna's attack range is still there, even with the help of blood drops , Hazy can also apply ability effects.

The attack range he can create in the blink of an eye is extremely wide.

If the other party wants to observe him, he cannot escape.

Insight into the rules, familiarity with the rules, breaking the rules...that's all.

Of course, the first step is the most critical.

This is a rule. It is not a pure fight. You cannot kill a monster by simply releasing blood drops... Before hearing, the monster has been shouting, "Come and catch me." This is not something it shouts on its own, but based on The rules have to be done.

Therefore, when making a killing move, Long should silently say "I got you" in his heart.

Otherwise, this magical beast may be resurrected at this time, and the dark space will not be lifted.

"There are clear signs."

Hao opened his palms, and a ball of telepathy floated like a bubble. He experienced it and murmured.

He didn't fall into the trap intentionally just for fun. He didn't have the time or leisure... nor could he risk a certain amount of risk.

It's because he discovered a long time ago that absorbing the souls of regular life forms seems to allow him to possess a little bit of the 'power of rules'.

But it's not very obvious.

A little needs to add up.

From the current point of view, of all the life forms he has encountered so far, whether they are extraordinary or strange, the strongest... is still the rules.

"Other creatures are born from the environment, various elements, mortal bodies... Only the life forms of the rule system seem to be born due to being contaminated by the 'power of rules'... Their energy is in time and space. The conductivity and compatibility can create certain changes that are far inferior to other life forms. Changes in various energies, such as the attributes of the mind system, can be easily realized, transformed, strengthened, idiosyncratic, etc. To be...closer to the origin of heaven and earth, they are more like an origin medium."

Hao slowly knelt down and stretched out his hand.

The energy containing the power of rules in the palm enveloped a small grass in front of him.

Then, he stretched out his fingertips to cut off the grass branches.

But it can't be done no matter what.

The rules he imposed were extremely simple and pure.

"Non-fire elements cannot be destroyed."

Sure enough, that's it.

"Because it's just a piece of grass, and the effect of the rules is not complicated, it is easy to succeed... But if it is a living body, the difficulty will undoubtedly become greater. The stronger the external factors, the stronger the power of the rules required. To put it simply, In other words, it is no different from the power of thought, and it also needs to include personal will."

"Psychic power...a 'power system' that is more upstream of life energy?"

The power of rules is also a type of energy.

"So, Aluka can make a spaceship suddenly appear over the base of the enemy family, and drop a large amount of cash... There are too many factors involved. The first is the range of energy that can be affected, because the power of the rules The specificity is that the area in the human world is actually not very big when compared to the Dark Continent. Even if it cannot cover the whole area, at least one third is no problem. Then first find the target carrying a large amount of cash, or directly use other Material becomes money, and then controls the spirit and things of the relevant individuals, changes according to the 'trajectory', travels through space, and changes the flow rate of time, so that a series of actions are completed at the same time as the wish is fulfilled. The operation system, the change system, the trait system... All the power is there.”

"It seems that there is a reason why telekinesis appears in the human world."

After finishing speaking, he stood up again.

Let's accumulate it first... The power of rules he currently possesses is still relatively weak.

When he thought of Alluka, his eyes flashed.

Although he didn't remember it clearly, he vaguely calculated the situation.

It should have been more than ten years since Men Qi and the others left...

Even with his current strength, he could only climb over a few volcanoes on the map from the sinkhole at the beginning, and then there was another building and three sky-high statues!

Because his physical Qi and blood are too strong, his longevity is always increasing, and he has eaten countless 'fruits of hope' over the years, so his appearance has not changed.

He has become accustomed to life on the Dark Continent.

The only one who feels uncomfortable…

Maybe it's time.

Here...time seems endless.

It has a bit of a mountain smell.

"Clear sky."

Hao looked up at the dark red sky. The farther into the mainland, the darker and brighter the sky became. Now he could still see a trace of white light leaking from the clouds. It could already be called a 'sunny day'.

Just keep walking…

I don't know how long I have to go forward.

to find that door.

At least this dead monster didn't know.

Everything the other party said was a lie.

Just because I sensed his thoughts.

This thing is not an intelligent life form in the true sense, and its thinking maturity is slightly stronger than the one in Bialuga's body.

It's not that strong.
