LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 710: Disordered time
Chapter 710 Chaotic time
Drue wasn't all about Richard during this half-century.
Or it should be said that, except for Richard, the identities and backgrounds of the remaining thousands of residents have been thoroughly figured out by him.
Ninety-nine percent of these thousands of residents are employees, and only one mine manager also lives in the town.
Dru learned from this manager that the purpose of these cultists was to use the cover of mining to summon evil gods in the mine.
One of the job content of the managers is to cover these cultists from entering and leaving the mine, so as not to be discovered by ordinary people.
As for the origins of these cultists, as well as their relationship with mining companies, it is beyond the management staff's ability to know.
However, he revealed a piece of news. Before the fire broke out, these cultists gathered in the mine. After the fire broke out, they couldn't get out in time, and they all died inside.
Dulu has always suspected that the sudden fire might have been caused by these cultists, and he also suspected that this small town of endless reincarnation had something to do with these cultists.
It's a pity that they all turned into monsters and couldn't communicate at all. Dulu could only target Richard.
Fang Cheng obtained Dulu's memory, and felt that only Richard could know the truth, not these monsters with only killing instinct left.
He and Isis walked quickly through the mine, surrounded by underground fires that could melt steel. A humanoid monster rushed out of the flames and brandished weapons at the two.
Although it looks scary, these monsters are only around B-level, and even the investigators under Dulu can deal with them.
Fang Cheng's vector control forms a repulsive force field outward, and all monsters that pounce on him, including high-temperature flames, are repelled.
The blood he spread quickly shuttled around the mine, searching for Richard's whereabouts.
Under the high temperature, the area of the mine continued to expand, and a huge underground labyrinth gradually took shape.
But after searching the entire mine, Richard was still missing.
If he hadn't read Dulu's memory, Fang Cheng would almost suspect that he was lying.
However, when the area of the mine expanded to a certain extent, Richard finally appeared.
He was in the deepest part of the mine, and the surrounding flames seemed to avoid him, forming a fire-free zone with a diameter of several meters around him.
Even if it is not affected by the flames, the high temperature and lack of oxygen are still extremely deadly.
Richard was safe and sound, ignoring these deadly threats.
He turned around slowly and looked at Fang Cheng and Isis who appeared in front of him.
"The things here have nothing to do with you."
Richard said lightly: "I guess you should have a way to leave, why don't you let it go, okay?"
Isis observed the situation around Richard, and said: "Give us the mother's body, and we will leave."
Richard looked at the two calmly: "As I said, that thing is very important to me and cannot be given to you."
"Then what else is there to say?"
Fang Cheng moved directly, a red light flashed in his eyes.
Richard felt his body tense, looked down, and saw that his body had been tightly bound with chains by three ghosts and gods who appeared suddenly.
Fang Cheng's eyes shot out two scorching sun rays.
The power of the sixth-level sun rays made Isis on the side feel terrified.
At the moment when he was about to be pierced by the sun's rays, Richard disappeared again.
The sun ray made a lonely hole, and punched a deep hole in the ore behind.
"Run away again!"
Fang Cheng felt very upset. This Richard didn't look strong, but his ability to escape was top-notch. It was difficult to keep him.
Isis said softly: "Isn't there another chance?"
Fang Cheng is not so optimistic: "He slipped so fast, if there is no way to restrict it, it will be the same a few times."
It's normal to think about it. Dulu and his team of investigators have been working hard for half a century but failed to solve Richard. He must have special escape skills.
It's just that in Dulu's memory, after thousands of attempts, they successfully killed Richard in the first two appearances.
Why did Fang Cheng run away when he came here?
Could it be that he is worse than Dulu, the trump card?
The underground fire is getting more and more violent, and the area of the mine is also expanding rapidly.
Not long after, Du Lu chased in with a few of his men. There were only six people including Du Lu, and only these six had special abilities to withstand high-temperature flames and lack of oxygen.
"Killed Richard?"
Dulu asked eagerly as soon as he came up.
Fang Cheng didn't have the nerve to tell him to run away, and tried to change the subject: "When did Richard show up for the third time?"
Dulu gave Fang Cheng a strange look, haven't you already got my memory?
But he still replied: "It will take a while, but we must hurry up and kill him before the fire burns down the town of Centralia."
In the past, every time Dulu and his group failed to hunt down, it was because of time that they failed to kill Richard before the town of Centralia was destroyed by fire.
Now that there are two more masters, his confidence has greatly increased.
Fang Cheng pretended not to notice Richard's expectant eyes, but quietly sent a voice transmission to Isis: "You will fight with me in a while, I don't believe he can run again."
Isis showed a faint smile and nodded slightly.
With Fang Cheng around, the surrounding flames, high temperature, and monsters couldn't get close, which made Du Lu and others a lot easier.
In the past, they had to fight against these deadly threats at the same time on the way to kill Richard, and it was only two or three people who stood in front of Richard in the end.
As time goes by, the area of the mine is getting bigger and bigger, and a huge maze has begun to take shape.
In the deepest part of the mine, the coal mine was ignited by flames, and peeled off continuously under the high temperature, and soon a pyramid-shaped altar with steps and patterns was revealed.
Fang Cheng can be sure that he has never seen this altar in his previous searches.
The cultists around the altar turned into even more monsters. In the past, Du Lu and others were extremely troubled by these monsters.
At this moment, these monsters were all easily killed by Fang Cheng's repulsive force field, and the surrounding flames were squeezed away, forming a wide area without fire.
The altar stopped when only half of it was exposed, and half of it was embedded in the ore.
On the top of the altar, Richard's figure reappeared.
"Do it!"
Fang Cheng's voice rang in Isis' ears instantly.
Isis directly uses idealism to restrict Richard's body, including the space around him.
Fang Cheng's speed was also maximized, time seemed to stand still, and the pause button seemed to be pressed on everything around him.
Only Fang Cheng was able to move freely. He rushed towards Richard on the altar, crossed the short distance of tens of meters in a blink of an eye, and raised his hand to his head.
At such a terrifying speed, Richard couldn't even keep up with his thinking, let alone react.
Fang Cheng's hand touched Richard's head smoothly, but at the moment of touching, his body twisted suddenly, like falling into a swamp, and gradually sank into the space.
It turned out to be a subspace crack!
Fang Cheng finally understood how Richard disappeared every time.
He wanted to follow subconsciously, but the crack in the subspace opened by Richard had a strong repelling force against him, repelling his entry.
Time returns to normal after Richard disappears in the warp rift.
In the eyes of others, Fang Cheng teleported to the altar suddenly, while Richard on the altar suddenly disappeared.
Dulu and his subordinates all stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Have you killed it?"
"No!"
They looked at the flames around them, which showed no signs of disappearing.
Fang Cheng ignored the surprise of these people, and looked back at Isis with a solemn expression: "Did you feel it?"
Isis nodded. Like Dracula, she has the ability to open cracks in subspace. When she was in Mech City, she used this method to disappear in front of Fang Cheng.
Now it is natural to feel that Richard is using the same method, and the speed of opening the subspace crack is much faster than Fang Cheng and Isis.
This is difficult. If you can't follow Richard into the subspace he opened, you won't be able to kill him at all.
Dulu and the others had already noticed Fang Cheng's solemn expression, and immediately realized that tonight's operation had failed again.
They can't say what they feel in their hearts, they are used to disappointment.
But the two more masters still failed, which made tonight's disappointment seem extra bitter.
Fang Cheng's eyes fell on Du Lu and the others again, and suddenly flashed in front of them, and raised his hand to touch the heads of the two subordinates beside Du Lu.
Dulu was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to stop it, but found that his body could not move again, and this time he couldn't even open his mouth.
Isis came over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Fang Cheng shook his head helplessly: "No, their memories are the same."
He read the memories of the subordinates around Dulu one after another, and found that their memories were almost the same as Dulu's.
After killing Richard the first two times, he failed only in the third time. It has been experienced thousands of times, so I can't remember wrongly.
Like Fang Cheng, it has never happened that Richard was run away three times in a row.
If the memories of Du Lu and others have not been collectively tampered with, it means that Richard was killed by them on purpose, or had to be killed by them for some reason.
Otherwise, it cannot be explained. Richard was able to escape in the hands of Fang Cheng, but died in the hands of Du Lu, the highest-ranking investigators with only aces.
If it wasn't for the mother's body in Richard's hands, Fang Cheng really didn't want to get involved in this complicated and puzzle-filled troublesome matter.
He took Dulu and the others, left the mine with Isis, and returned to the town.
The entire town of Centralia has been engulfed in flames. No matter whether it is the monsters, residents, or Dulu's men, they cannot escape the flames.
Dulu looked at this scene with numbness in his eyes and no extra fluctuations, because he had seen it countless times.
After the flames engulfed the town, they gradually spread to the surroundings.
Fang Cheng, who had read the memories of Du Lu and others, knew that this was the end of a reincarnation.
Sure enough, the figures of Du Lu and others disappeared soon, leaving only Fang Cheng and Isis, and the flames were surrounding them.
If left alone, Fang Cheng and Isis may also fall into this reincarnation.
Because the situation was unclear, Fang Cheng did not take any risks, but chose to open the crack in the subspace, and dragged Isis into the subspace together.
After Isis came in, he looked up at the dazzling aurora above his head, and asked, "Is this the subspace of the Lord of Monsters?"
"Exactly."
Fang Cheng nodded: "I'm going to take a look outside the town, do you want to follow?"
Being able to enter and leave the subspace at will means that you can leave the reincarnation of Centralia at any time, so Fang Cheng is not very nervous about this problem.
Isis did not hesitate: "Let's go together."
Fang Cheng reopened the rift and took Isis out of the subspace.
When I came out of the subspace, the night suddenly turned into day, and the town of Centralia returned to its original appearance, with poisonous gas filling the air and charred buildings looming.
Fang Cheng found something was wrong. Although there were a lot of dust particles accumulated on the ground, it was far less than before, with only a thin layer.
Fang Cheng let out the blood, checked the whole town of Centralia and its surroundings, and his expression suddenly changed.
Isis noticed the change in his face and asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
Fang Cheng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You should see for yourself."
He reached out and grabbed Isis's arm, and teleported, leading her to the outside of the town.
When they saw the situation outside the town, both of them showed shock.
Centralia has only one road leading to the outside world.
When they came here before, both Fang Cheng and Isis saw the dilapidated appearance of this dilapidated road.
But now, this road has a new look, not to say that it is brand new, but it is often maintained by people.
The overgrown weeds on both sides of the road also disappeared, replaced by low bushes.
A street sign was inserted on the side of the road, with the words 'Centralia Town, 500 meters ahead' written on it.
If only this is the case, it is not enough to surprise Fang Cheng and Isis.
However, at this moment, the road outside the town has been blocked by a barbed wire fence.
There are many vehicles parked inside and outside the barbed wire fence, and there is a camp consisting of more than a dozen tents in the open space not far away, and many people in uniform are busy in it.
Whether it is these vehicles or the clothes of these people, they are all in the style of the last century and a half.
This scene brought a thought to Fang Cheng and Isis at the same time.
They came half a century ago?
The town of Centralia was destroyed in 1962. After the Department of Homeland Security discovered that the situation here was wrong, it blocked it for about three and a half years.
If these people outside are real, it means that the two came to the three and a half years after 1962.
Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Isis couldn't help asking: "Do you have the ability to travel through time?"
Fang Cheng thought for a while, and replied: "Does it count when you lie in bed in the morning?"
Every time I want to sleep for another ten minutes, two hours pass in the blink of an eye.
Isis deserves to have lived for more than two hundred years. Although he was shocked, he was still able to remain calm and calm: "If it's not your problem, then it's Centralia Town's problem. Have we still not been able to leave reincarnation?"
"Ask if yes first, then ask if you can."
Fang Cheng flew directly to the camp outside the town, and flew back ten minutes later.
At this moment, he had already read the memories of the investigators outside, but the people outside half a century ago did not notice his movements at all.
"It's 1962."
Fang Cheng sighed: "The fire that destroyed the town of Centralia happened two months ago. Heywood Dulu, a special investigator from the Security Bureau, just brought people into the town of Centralia yesterday. Lia town, and then disappeared."
It is difficult to determine whether it is really going back half a century or so, both Fang Cheng and Isis.
Originally relying on the crack in the subspace, they thought they could leave at any time, so the attitude of the two of them was quite calm.
I didn't expect to leave, but the time would be so wrong.
Seeing Fang Cheng's solemn expression, Isis couldn't help chuckling: "A half-century lifespan should be nothing to you."
Fang Cheng said unhappily: "A bunch of people in my family are waiting for me to go back, unlike you who are single and don't care."
Isis was ridiculed for a while, and he was not interested in refuting him: "Try and see if you can go back."
Fang Cheng nodded, reached out and grabbed Isis's arm, reopened the crack in the subspace, and returned to the subspace of the Lord of Monsters.
Instead of delivering Isis' hand, he took a deep breath and opened the rift again.
The two returned to the town of Centralia.
The sky has changed from day to night, and the surrounding area is still filled with poisonous gas, but the dust on the ground has become a thick layer.
Fang Cheng immediately ran out of the town to check with blood.
The dilapidated and dilapidated roads and the rusty warning signs made him feel kind, especially the words "Danger ahead, please stay away" written on the sign.
Obviously, they have come back from half a century ago, back to the way they first entered the town of Centralia.
The only thing that makes Fang Cheng feel uncomfortable is that the outskirts of the town are still pitch black, obviously the whole town is still surrounded by subspace cracks.
Fang Cheng tried a few times without believing in evil, but every time he used the subspace crack to leave, he ran to a different time point, and the closest distance was more than 30 years ago.
"It seems that the time in the entire town of Centralia is out of order."
Isis pondered: "If you want to find the correct way to leave, you can only solve Richard's trouble."
Fang Cheng had a headache and said, "Every time he wants to make a move, he just runs away. How can we catch him?"
With his current strength, he is not afraid of fighting head-on at all, but he is afraid of this kind of person who doesn't fight you head-on, but only chases and hides with you.
Isis reassured: "Nothing is perfect, flaws are always traceable, and we need to observe more. Those investigators have persisted for half a century and have not given up. Are your perseverance worse than theirs? .”
"Hehe, let me persist in this ghostly place for half a century, it would be better to kill me."
Although he said so, Fang Cheng had no better way.
The time quickly reached twelve o'clock at night.
Accompanied by clang! clang! clang! The bell rang, and the entire town of Centralia began to recover again.
