Chapter 705: Protect His Majesty
A Zhu was feeling quite anxious right now.
Why did those useless subordinates of hers just leave?!
But if she ignored him, how would she explain to the Director... What if he removed her from her position and let those traitors take over? Then her late-night snacks would all go up in smoke!
No, absolutely not!
A Zhu looked at Wei Dong beneath her, and her gaze gradually became resolute.
Wei Dong was hiding behind a wall. Watching the three orderlies leave, he let out a slight sigh of relief. Just as he was about to move to a new position, his mind suddenly faltered.
In a daze, he felt a force pulling at his soul. His consciousness floated upward, and he gradually lost control over his body. His thoughts grew slower and slower...
Not good!
He had been hit!
Although Wei Dong didn't possess a Forbidden Ruins, he was after all a member of the Oath Society, a battle-hardened veteran. He reacted quickly, forcefully biting through his tongue. Using the pain to清醒 his awareness, he猛地 stepped backward, his entire body plummeting from the third floor!
His back slammed hard against the ground, and his soul that had been about to leave his body was shaken back into his body. He quickly scrambled to his feet, his gaze locking onto A Zhu sitting among the spiderwebs. He reached to his waist and drew a pixel pistol, pulling the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Several bullets射出, hurtling toward A Zhu's face.
Seeing that she hadn't managed to抽离 Wei Dong's soul with the spider silk, A Zhu's face filled with shock. Now, watching him draw a gun and fire at her, she felt her soul nearly leave her body!
She swung down from the spiderwebs at an astonishing speed, floating in the wind, so fast that blurry afterimages trailed behind her.
The next moment, the pixel bullets射向 spiderwebs exploded on impact, turning into several clusters of hazy pixelated flames. When these flames touched the spiderwebs, the latter instantly disintegrated into scattered pixels, dissipating into the air.
This scene made A Zhu's scalp tingle. She took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"Someone! Protect His Majesty!!!!"
Wei Dong froze.
Immediately afterward, figure after figure in deep cyan orderly uniforms came呼啸而来 from the distance, completely sealing off every direction Wei Dong could possibly escape. Seeing this, Wei Dong's expression changed drastically. He had never expected there to be so many "Mysticals" nearby!
A Zhu felt reassured seeing the reinforcements arrive. She rode a strand of spider silk and floated into the alley where Wei Dong was located. Her feet slammed against the ground, and her body shot toward Wei Dong's face at an astonishing speed!
At the same time, strands of tough spider silk弹射 between the narrow walls, quickly weaving into a dense web that trapped Wei Dong. Yet A Zhu's speed within this dense web didn't decrease—it actually increased, reaching a point where Wei Dong's naked eye couldn't even track her.
This "Mystical" was very powerful!
This thought flashed through Wei Dong's mind. He pulled a pixel magazine from his waist and swiftly replaced the empty bullets in his pistol, then fired three consecutive shots at the ground in front of him!
Unfortunately, A Zhu was simply too fast. These three shots couldn't hit her at all. But as these three bullets exploded, pixelated flames filled the space in front of Wei Dong. A Zhu quickly stopped her advance and didn't recklessly push forward.
She had亲眼目睹 what happened when one touched those pixel flames. She didn't want to disappear into pixels herself, so her movement slowed.
In this brief window, Wei Dong raised his pistol once more and fired at the thick wall beside him. After it dissolved into pixels, he ducked through the gap and escaped!
If you can't fight, run!
However, before he could exit the building, several figures descended from the sky, landing in front of the door. Flying debris scattered everywhere, and dense cracks spread beneath their feet.
A crocodile, a panda, a porcupine, and a humanoid monster with eight arms.
Wei Dong's lips twitched slightly. He下意识地 retreated backward, but on the other side of the ruins, several more orderlies had arrived, completely boxing him in.
Ten seconds later, above and below, on all sides, he was completely surrounded by orderlies.
Thirty pairs of hostile eyes stared at him. The raccoon angrily picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wei Dong's toes, saying indignantly:
"Bad guy! You sneak attack! That's unfair!"
A Zhu held a strand of spider silk and floated unhurriedly to the front of Wei Dong, then, seemingly feeling she was too close to him and in danger, she discreetly stepped back two paces, hiding behind the crocodile. She cleared her throat and said,
"Well, everyone, attack together! Beat him up! Put him in a sack and bring him to the Director!"
Thirty-odd orderlies from the Food and Beverage Department surged forward together!
...
Hearing the successive explosions from the distance, Amemiya Haruki couldn't help glance in that direction several more times, seemingly curious about what was happening over there.
Lin Qiye, on the other hand, wasn't particularly concerned. He used his spiritual sense to search for possible clues in the ruins, then excavated them all. Although the vast majority had been soaked and damaged by seawater, some things remained intact.
Lin Qiye placed a broken metal store sign on the ground, wiping away the dirt and seaweed, carefully examining it.
"Wakana... City... Police... Department?"
Lin Qiye read the characters one by one, then looked up at Amemiya Haruki. "Wakana City, have you heard of it?"
Amemiya Haruki frowned, contemplating for a long time, but still shook his head. "No... I haven't heard of it."
"But these are written in Japanese. This should have been a city in Japan before the so-called 'God's Creation' event a hundred years ago." Lin Qiye stood up, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. "And everywhere here, there are remains of deep-sea creatures and extensive traces of seawater immersion..."
"This was once a sunken city?"
"It should be." Lin Qiye nodded. "Either before or after the Mist descended, or more precisely, during the process of God's Creation, some accident must have occurred that caused this city to sink to the seafloor, then was swept into this separate space by some force...
The question now is, where exactly is this space? Is it connected to somewhere else?"
Lin Qiye frowned, deep in thought.
Whether it was the way they entered the ruins or the normal usage of Forbidden Ruins, it all seemed to indicate one thing: this place didn't belong to the "Japan" that he and Amemiya Haruki came from. On the contrary, the environment here felt more like...
Somewhere within the Mist?
No, that wasn't right. There was no Mist here.
Could it be that this place was some kind of connection point between "Japan" and the Mist?
