Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The sound of large-scale mechanical operation is like flying mosquitoes that cannot be driven away at night, and the monotonous rhythm continues to hum in the ears.

Even if the so-called medical room in the stronghold is introduced to others as "this is our storage room", no one will object to it.

Xiao Lulu leaned against the only vacant wall in the room without any devices. She looked around awkwardly, always having the illusion that her arms were held up by the left and right huge devices, and she was imprisoned in the middle. The strange feeling made her cough and step out of the gap in the middle of the device.

"Just leave it to me alone."

Maybe because he noticed that Xiao Lulu was at a loss, Tong Xiyu hung his hands on Su Ruoyang's wound intently, and said casually.

Xiao Lulu curled his lips displeased upon hearing the words. However, this unhappiness was not caused by Tong Xiyu.

"Then, please. I don't want to be complained by his girlfriend and sister again!"

When they "lost" Su Ruoyang before, it wasn't until Xiao Lulu said, "I will definitely find Su Ruoyang for you later", that the two girls finally stopped chattering, "Reluctantly" Followed Elus three people to go out to search for the intelligence of No. 9 clock.

Originally, the white cat planned to bring Su Luoyang back, to find him and confide in him all the grievances he had received from his "dear" girlfriend and sister. As a result, I didn't expect that I almost walked in front of the palace of hell.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, thanks to this, Xiao Lulu had some subtle sense of participation, which made her feel less guilty about paddling.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Lulu thinks that his IQ is not high, he has confidence in his own intuition that can be called "incredible". According to the subtle reaction of Eluth when she heard that she lost Su Luoyang (such as raising her eyebrows, puffing up her cheeks, and staring at herself), she probably wanted to scold herself with Xia Yinci and Su Huilin Careless move.

Why is there no response at the end? Maybe it's because I don't know what capacity I should use to reprimand her.

After all, the identities of girlfriend and sister have already been taken by two young girls. Could it be that Elus wants to be the "guardian" of another boy? So I can only hold back and say nothing, but I have already complained about thousands of words in my heart, right?

"Tsk tsk... Regardless of appearance, you are already a hundred-year-old 'adult', and you still have a girlish feeling. Oh my, magicians are such a strange species~"

Xiao Lulu slyly raised his eyebrows, thinking about when he would use this to tease a certain "girl" whose age was multiplied by ten times his own, when he saw Tong Xiyu shifted his slightly disgusted gaze in confusion.

"It's okay! I'm just talking to myself. I'm not talking about you..." Xiao Lulu quickly waved his hands, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then I... go downstairs first. I'll leave it to you Bar?"

Tong Xiyu didn't complain that she had already said similar things a few minutes ago. I don't know if it's troublesome to even complain, or I'm so focused on doing my own thing that I didn't realize it at all.

Xiao Lulu realized that he was being cruelly ignored, smiled awkwardly but politely, put his small hands slightly bent in front of him like a little hamster, quietly stepped back and left the room,

There was no one in the dining room, which made the sound of the electric fan especially loud. Xiao Lulu curiously leaned under the railing of the stairs to look around, but found that there was no one downstairs.

"Wow... didn't you tell me when you left?"

Xiao Lulu walked down the stairs dejectedly. As soon as I sat down at the dining table, there was a strange sound at the door——

In the empty street, the storefronts on both sides radiate rainbow-like light from the inside to the outside, which makes the ground reflect the same color. Under the reflection of the lights, there is a mysterious light shining, which sets off a particularly empty atmosphere.

"Are you sure the person from Clock Nine ran here?"

Xia Yinci looked around twice, and asked half-believingly. Clock No. 9's current tactic is to hide in places where evil spirits gather and take risks. Since he chose this tactic, he should not run to such a deserted place.

"Well, can this be fake? I saw their No. 1 coming in here!"

Elus nodded her head while boasting, as if this would add some persuasiveness to her words.

"If you didn't read it wrong, then it is very likely that you deliberately led us somewhere."

Xia Yinci rested her index finger on her lower lip, looking thoughtfully at the colorful neon lights in the sky.

"Or was it someone else who brought them here?"

What Su Huilin said unintentionally made Xia Yinci turn her eyes in surprise, Xia Yinci suddenly smiled, put her arms around Su Huilin's shoulders abruptly, and leaned in front of her.

""Suspected Correct Solution"!!"

"What, what do you mean?"

"The most likely answer is the truth~ Now the only team that is helpless is clock number nine. It's either 'killing them all' or 'drawing them in'. What if someone does the exact opposite of us?"

Number 1 is usually the leader. Along the way, only Elus said she saw No. 1, but she didn't see anyone else. What can make the leader go to the meeting alone? That, of course, is a ray of hope in such a critical moment.

"Leaving aside the reason why they don't want to withdraw from the domination war, if they want to continue, hiding in the evil spirits can't last long, they must be willing to cooperate with other forces, right?"

"Then who do you think they are going to cooperate with?"

Xia Yinci was taken aback by Elus' question. She pretended to be mysterious and put her chin on her chin as if she was thinking, as if she was smiling after thinking about the answer.

"I don't know, but..."

As soon as the words were finished, the strange sound of footsteps came from behind them, and the silver light piercing the air quickly flashed, approaching behind Xia Yinci. I saw the light of the knife but not the blade, but the sharp edge of the knife only cut a few strands of her hair, and the abnormal gravity instantly pressed the people behind to the ground with a heavy muffled sound.

"...the answer will be known soon."

Can't see the opponent's whereabouts——as it should be. But when the neon lights penetrating the entire street shone on the opponent, it always cast a distinct shadow on the ground.

Xia Yinci glanced at Su Huilin as a signal, and then restored the gravity to its original state.

Su Erin didn't let go of the flaw caused by the light, and clasped the invisible arm with her intuition, and the invisible blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound, showing its trace in an instant. Only the invisible self is still hidden under the disguise.

"Hey, what's your purpose?"

This is obviously a terrain that is not conducive to "invisible" operations. It is impossible for the other party not to know this. Knowing that the action will be violent, but still appearing in front of them without hesitation, it shows that "drunkards don't mean to drink."

"Don't you understand? I don't think you would be so stupid."

"The dream thief's future will not be ruined in your hands."

"Don't answer irrelevant questions. Will obedience to the command of the "Holy Mother" really have a future?"

Not being able to hear the sound is like the person doesn't exist. Only when the light swept to the invisible and cast shadows, Xia Yinci was sure that he didn't slip away to other places while they were not paying attention.

"Which faction have you cooperated with? How about I talk to them?"

Xia Yinci tilted her head and asked calmly with her eyes turned downward.

"Oh. It's clock number six, right?"

Xia Yinci, who purposely gave a suspicious answer, heard the invisible sneer from deep in her throat. Since it is not clock number six, it is obvious that there is only one answer. Xia Yinci, who was sure of the direction, smiled briskly.

"Then there's no other way~ I think we'll change from the original 'expulsion' to 'hunting'?"

As if angered by this word, a marble with fiery red light burst out diagonally. The surrounding air that was torn apart by the steel ball roared.

The reacting scepter smashed to the ground, shaking out a double hexagram array rotating in the air like a gear, and the elusive attack trajectory was just facing the center of the magic array, and the steel ball was blocked and pulled up without any deviation. A distorted violet ripple was melted by the high temperature of the magic power after a stalemate for a few seconds.

"More than a month has passed, um, are you still using marbles?"

Xia Yinci turned around unhurriedly, and there was a pair of hostile eyes beside the street shop wantonly revealing her killing intent. But the host of this hostility is just a little boy less than six or seven years old.

"Yes. But are they marbles or bullets?"

The boy questioned Xia Yinci fiercely with a trembling voice. Dozens of steel balls flashing with strange light suddenly appeared around his protruding head.

Elus unhurriedly raised the scepter and twirled it quickly between her hands. The emerging fire condensed into a magic circle, and then dozens of the same magic circles were arranged around, covering almost half of her field of vision.

The rain of guns hit the solid shield one after another, and exaggerated light effects flooded into the vision of both sides like an explosion. Even though the line of defense seemed flawless, the number of steel balls continued to increase, reaching the point of pervasiveness, leaking into the gaps in the formation.

Xia Yinci took half a step back, waving her index finger half a circle and pointing downwards, the downward gravity intensified several times in accordance with her instructions, and the trajectory of the "bullets" immediately tilted, deflecting and sweeping towards the ground.

Elus, who was hiding behind the hexagram, tried hard to stand still. Su Huilin, who was kneeling on the invisible back, resisted the distorted gravity and immediately retreated to avoid the rain of bullets. The bullets shone brightly under the scattered lights on both sides, and splashed bright bloody flowers on the invisible body.

The dull wailing was overwhelmed by the constant explosions nearby, the rain of bullets tearing apart his entire body, and the blood was scattered scattered on the ground, but the opponent was not at all prepared to stop because of this.

The boy's eyes were stained red with anger, he leaned out of the street, faced the direction where the marbles shot straight past, opened his slender arms and shouted angrily. As a result, all the small and broken objects in the vicinity - waste newspapers on the street, discarded lunch boxes, trash cans in the alleys, and even the severed arms of the evil spirits all floated up, as if they were given the right to destroy anything, and all floating things burst into flames. The bullets fired from the muzzle rained down on the hexagram array that stretched across the half.

"Is that so... His controlling ability really is "Energize objects"?"

Xia Yinci murmured to herself because of the dazzling light of the explosion flashing in the girl's eyes.

Even if there is no shortage of waste paper among them, the power will never be less than those steel balls just now. The current situation makes it unrealistic for Elus to stop alone. Rather than intercepting the endless rain of bullets, it is better to deal with the "source".

"Elus~ Please hold on for a while! I want to control him where it doesn't affect you."

Changing the gravity right here will definitely affect Elus. If her hexagram disappears, those bullets with downward slanting trajectories will hit Elus, and then affect Xia Yinci and Su Huilin.

"You try to hurry up..."

With difficulty, Elus agreed to Xia Yinci's request. Xia Yinci didn't even dare to leave the time to confirm with Elus again. That would only force Elus to take a longer time, so she turned around and went to Run into the alley.

Su Huilin stood on the spot and clenched her right hand, hesitating whether to make a move. In the situation of not knowing the other party's name, and the other party is in a state of emotional loss, using the "Devil Command" is very likely to be backlashed.

"Don't make a move. What will you do if you lose the ability to move at this time?"

Elus' words erased Su Huilin's desperate thoughts, and Su Huilin slowly let go of her clenched fist.

——In terms of acting style, the brothers and sisters have similar personalities. Elus thought quietly, and raised the corners of her mouth reluctantly.

As more and more objects were deposited, the weight of the six-pointed star array gradually increased. Elus, who was closely connected with the operation, was also implicated by this, and felt a strong oppression in her chest.

Now if you don't use the magic power that exceeds the limit in order to preserve your strength, you will only be unable to pass this level. Elus held the scepter with both hands to stabilize the direction, and the burst of magic power in the palm made the top of the scepter burst into a deep purple flash.

"The ancestor imprisoned under the aurora, please grant me the ultimate power to build an indestructible wall—"

The golden light-plated magic circle showed more and more vivid colors, spreading the dazzling holy light forward. The finely divided objects endowed with high-density energy swirled into a storm, pouring in endlessly.

——The two sides colliding with each other thus created a fierce air current.

The intertwined black soil was ten times larger than her body, her long crimson hair swayed with the roaring hurricane, and the black pointed hat covering Elus' head couldn't support the whirling blast, and she was sucked into the whirling hurricane Blow into the distance.

Elus opened her red lips slightly in surprise, and a trace of unconcealable worry flashed across her eyes. She instinctively wanted to reach up and grab the hat. But even if the palms were only slightly relaxed, the blast wind coming in front of her would crush her to the ground.

Elus tried her best to ignore other things in her field of vision, lowered her head raised with the flying hat, stared at the waste vortex that was more than ten times her body in front, and concentrated on stabilizing the "shield" that blocked the vortex.

The torn air roared wildly, mixed with the heart-piercing roar of the culprit who caused the chaos. The window of the store was smashed into pieces, and the objects in the window were sucked into the vortex, and the offensive became stronger and stronger. The stoppable defensive line has reached the limit of what can be played. After all, Elus is not good at defense magic.

The time to fight for support reached the extreme, and the hexagram array began to collapse from the corners, and polygonal fragments that scattered golden light popped out, and the cracks spread all the way down in a trend visible to the naked eye.

The vortex that leaked from the gap flooded in like a flood, the scepter shook at a high frequency, and the hurricane seemed to be able to roll the petite Elus up into the sky in the next second, but she responded to Su Erin's worry with actions .

Elise is "safe and well." Holding the crumbling scepter with his right hand, he put his left hand in front of him to block the wind and waves that obstructed his vision. But she was not as "safe and sound" as she appeared on the surface, and she was about to reach the limit, and the rift further expanded.

And the moment the magic circle at the corner collapsed—an unbelievable noise passed through the screaming air. There was a loud noise as if discarded objects were dropped from the high-altitude floors one after another, and the waste products that fell to the ground like a torrential rain were intertwined.

Su Huilin clearly felt that the ground was shaking violently up and down, and the rain of bullets empowered hit the asphalt with a curved trajectory, and the violent sparks from the collision penetrated into the ground and turned it up by its roots.

This "heavy downpour" lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped, and the land after the catastrophic rain was devastated everywhere.

The smoke caused by the chaos dissipated in all directions. Elus held the scepter and lifted it up until she confirmed that the six-pointed array was no longer fluctuating, and retracted the magic array that spread across half of the sky.

The golden hexagrams are scattered into fragmented crystal chips, showing mysterious light under the illumination of colorful neon lights. The boy, who was illuminated by various lights, knelt down on the ground, resisting the distorted gravity underneath.

Elus breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk towards him, but Su Erin put her shoulders and stopped her.

"Wait, Xia Yinci's dominance will not affect our position."

The gravity under the boy was increasing in strength, and the elbows and knees that had slammed on the asphalt had already worn blood marks. In fact, as long as he didn't resist, he would feel better, but he was unwilling to give in anyway, just unwilling to let go.

Elus blinked her clear eyes and pursed her lips lightly. She waved the scepter and knocked it down again, and an irregular circle was drawn around the boy in response, outlining an exquisite technique one stroke at a time.

At the moment when the star array was completely drawn, pale light was reflected from the inside to the outside, and the gathered light particles formed a rope, which bound the boy's body tightly, and then automatically pulled it in front of Eluth and Su Erin.

"Let me ask you, where is your number 1?"

Elus waved her fingers and manipulated the rope to float the boy to a position facing her, but the boy still refused to meet her gaze, and stubbornly looked away.

"Then tell me how old you are, can you?"

Elus's tone was very ordinary, without any strong meaning, it didn't look like she was torturing the other party. She just felt that since he was unwilling to answer this matter, it was better to ask another question than to do nothing.

The boy didn't expect this girl who looked no more than 13 years old to ask such a question, so he couldn't help looking at her hesitantly.

"Nine years old."

"I'm not asking what age you think you are. This is your real age, isn't it?"

Elus squinted her eyes like a vigilant kitten, trying to see from his eyes whether he was lying on purpose.

"Believe it or not. I won't say anything else."

The boy made an expression that he wanted to kill or cut you up to your decision, closed his eyes tightly and turned his head to the side.

"Hey, you're still young. If you tell me where No. 1 is...just tell me about it, and I'll definitely let you go."

Elus's eyes didn't seem to be lying, her crimson eyes stared at the boy purely like naturally carved gems.

For her, it is worthy of sympathy and forgiveness for this young boy to be coerced by the forces behind the scenes to participate in this war of domination. The wrong person is not him, so she really has the idea of ​​letting him go.

"I won't hold back when we meet next time, but at least I won't force you to be expelled now."

The sincere declaration shook the boy's determination, and he quietly narrowed his eyes and glanced at Elus. After hesitating for a while, the boy met Elus's gaze irresistibly temptingly, and pointed to the direction behind her.

"The tearoom on the top floor of that building. He's interviewing the person from Clock One."

There was extreme reluctance in his tone, but regardless of his attitude, at least he answered Elus' question.

Elus turned her eyes sideways, glanced at the ancient castle-like building, stretched out her index finger and middle finger together, and shook it towards the boy, and the rope turned into shards of light and dispersed. The unbound boy fell back to the ground.

"Thank you...thank you." The boy moved his legs and stepped back, lowering his head and shyly thanking him. After opening the distance, he changed the subject sharply, showing a treacherous smile, "It would be nice if there were more idiots like you in this world."

The boy who was five meters away from Elus had a ferocious smile on his face, his delicate facial features suddenly expanded, and his swollen arms were two times thicker than before. The boy disappeared without a trace, leaving only a male with wicked eyebrows and mischievous eyes.

"Hey! Before you worry about our No. 1, worry about your own situation? Ignorant idiots!"

He quickly spread his arms out in a stance, and the nearby gravel trembled and floated up ready to move. When he violently moved his palms forward, the spread of gravel suddenly swept towards the two of them.

"I've let you down! I'm already thirty-nine years old!"

He didn't want to hide the arrogant mockery in his tone. The man couldn't help laughing, and walked backwards and ran away. Of course, such a simple offensive cannot hurt them, the purpose is to prevent them from catching up in a short time.

Even if they have the talent in the field of lucid dreaming and stand on the same battlefield, it doesn't mean that experience is not important.

The arrogance in his heart grew more and more, but an unbelievable pulling force suddenly appeared from his back, lifting him directly back into the air, and fell heavily to the ground after being swung heavily by the opponent's arm.

A strong back pushing pain spread densely in the back, and the man saw a pair of cold lavender eyes in disbelief. ——The blond girl suddenly kicked down to the ground, and her jumping body easily broke through the rain of gravel bullets he set up, and just caught up with herself.

"How can this be!"

"If you can meet the Creator after death, you might as well ask him what happened with the repentance of deceiving us."

The girl's cold words made the man feel unprecedented oppression. He hurriedly raised his right arm and swung at the girl with one knee on his chest. The counter in the nearby store was uprooted and smashed into the window and hit the girl's side face.

"'Monster', go to hell!"

The man smiled ferociously and wanted to break free, but found that the girl just lightly stretched out her right palm towards the flying counter, and directly shattered the counter to pieces with a force that came from nowhere.

The strength of the knee pressing on the chest became more and more serious, and the cold eyes showed a fierce light in the scattered smoke. The girl grabbed his right arm with her fingertips, and the strength of her grip gradually increased, and the man couldn't help screaming in pain.

There was a "crack" sound from the shattered arm, and blood splashed instantly covering the man's field of vision.

"You... you bastard!"

The man's twitching mouth murmured, whispering a thousand vicious curses. The intact left arm swung wildly, swinging everything he could manipulate to the right.

Maybe there is still hope to break the situation when he calms down, but there are not many things left that can be used around him, coupled with his completely chaotic offensive, the result can only be in vain.

Su Huilin put down her knees, stood up and kicked towards the vortex on her right side, her toes swung out in an inclined track. The strange power neutralizes the approaching hurricane, blocking the oncoming attack effortlessly.

She glanced coldly at the man lying on the ground, bent down and pressed her flattened palm against his chest leisurely, and the heavy pressure she exerted made his breathing heavy. After that, the fingertips took the lead in exerting force, twisting in a clockwise direction, turning the hand that easily pierced the clothes and skin for three-quarters of a circle, and pressing down with penetrating force.

Viscous blood splashed all around. After this, the man's eyes lost their brilliance and became dim.

Elus, who was standing at the back, looked at Su Huilin who was slowly standing up, with surprise in her eyes. She didn't sympathize with the man who was unilaterally tortured and killed, she just felt sorry and blamed herself a little bit.

Most of the others are disbelief at the scene.

"You only have the ability to control the [Devil Lord Command], right?"

"Yeah. But counting the real body, it might be two parts."

Su Erin's ambiguous answer made Elus still confused and confused. At this time, Xia Yinci came out from the alley where he had left before, and smiled faintly at them.

She was just about to walk to the side of the two, but she caught a glimpse of the discordant scene of blood from the corner of her eye, and looked at Su Huilin in confusion.

As if to respond to Xia Yinci's confusion, blood dripped from Su Huilin's half-clenched right hand, and her skin looked extraordinarily fair against the blood red background. Xia Yinci didn't ask any further questions, but continued to walk over.

"Did you ask any useful information?"

"He said No. 1 is on the top floor." Elus pointed to the ancient building next to her, then retracted her little hand and moved it to her chest, and said with a wry smile, "But I can't confirm the authenticity of the information yet."

"Compared to this, there is another thing he said that I care more about." Su Huilin frowned and said, "Worry" Get down to your own situation.”

"The 'situation' here doesn't mean, can we stop the attack of the gravel?" Elus was puzzled.

"His subsequent attacks were completely inferior to the previous ones, so he must have done this to create an opportunity to escape on the premise that he knew he would not be able to hurt us. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stop his subsequent counterattacks, right?"

"No...that's because you are too strong." Elus murmured softly.

"Then what do you think he refers to by the 'situation'?" Xia Yinci asked softly, tilting her head.

Su Huilin lowered her head to think seriously about what he said before, and suddenly parted her red lips slightly and raised her eyes to look at Xia Yinci.

"You mean the 'base', right?"

Xia Yinci couldn't help being stunned for a moment, she lowered her head, and the shadow cast by the light from her bangs just covered her eyes.

"Did you procrastinate on purpose?"

The cooperation between Clock No. 9 and Clock No. 1 is a certainty, but I didn't expect it to be "cooperation" in this sense.

Xia Yinci raised her head, her blue eyes emerged from the shadows, emitting a sharp light.

"Let's go first. Can you contact Xiao Lulu?"

Su Huilin and Elusi were moved by Xia Yinci's eyes, and followed her on the way back. Facing Xia Yinci's questioning, both of them tried to talk to Xiao Lulu in the way Yin said.

"No... no reply."

Elus shook her head from side to side, strangely unable to feel the weight she had been used to on her head, and then she suddenly recalled the fact that she had forcibly ignored just now, and touched her curled hair in frustration.

"Isn't it at the base? Could it be that she went to find Su Ruoyang?"

Su Erin put forward a hypothesis thoughtfully. Xia Yinci frowned after hearing this, and raised her right eyebrow slightly.

"But we have been away from the stronghold for a long time, right? She should be back." Xia Yinci disturbed her naturally hanging hair, and said, "Either something happened to the stronghold, or it happened when she was looking for Su Ruoyang. What."

Su Huilin and Elus were both taken aback at the same time. A sense of uneasiness flashed in the pupils of Elus, who was awakened by Xia Yinci's words. She moved her hand holding the staff up a bit, and said in a murmur:

"That's right...you leave Su Luoyang alone, maybe you will be watched by other clocks?"

What Su Huilin thought of was another matter, she turned her head and stared at Xia Yinci's profile.

"Brother, his dominance ability can only be used in cooperation with other people, right?"

Facing the uneasy atmosphere he provoked, Xia Yinci tried hard to squeeze out a smile that could make them feel at ease.

"It's okay...with Qianyan accompanying him, everything will be fine."

A bit of bitter and forced thoughts melted into Xia Yinci's smile, and her tone changed into a soft whisper, and said:

"What's more...he is doomed to be alone in the end. If he can't even pass this level..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yinci noticed the caring gazes of Su Huilin and Elus, and quickly lowered her eyes, put away the sadness in her eyes, and worked hard to restore her proper state.

"Well, hurry up~ We will try to contact Xiao Lulu from time to time, it is impossible for her not to come back, right? Anyone of you who can contact Xiao Lulu, let her send us there quickly."

Anyway, I'm used to it.
