A look of fatigue appeared on Gu Hailin's resolute face.
He possesses a companion force close to the seventh level, and can move in an instant that cannot be captured by the naked eye, but due to the huge power gap, these powers and skills are useless.
As his subordinates died one by one, all the memories of the past in the tower flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
The disputes with the low-level thugs, the grudges with the imperial guards of Gaota Town, and the friendship with a few lovely subordinates.
These things were buried deep in his memory shortly after he succeeded as deputy head of the group, because the higher the position, the more one could see the corruption of the tower.
I have long given up on human nature, but at this moment, all the past grudges and right and wrong have resurfaced.
Cold-hearted people have the passion to die, but in the face of absolute power... this passion seems pathetic and ridiculous.
The spear was bent.
It was as if the Hydra smelled the pure sorrow in this man's heart and it ignored him completely.
It was as if Gu Hailin was the main dish, and the other prey were side dishes that could make the main dish more delicious.
The more people he killed around him, the more painful it felt. The Hydra began to feel the smell of the humans above it was becoming more delicious.
It will kill these humans one by one in front of him, making this man feel the deepest despair, bearing the sins of the deaths of all his companions, and finally devour him before he falls into evil.
It was indeed planned this way, and the whole process was coming to an end, until - a figure flew into the air and slashed at it with a knife.
The figure was wearing a black cloak and a strange mask, and he was holding a seemingly ordinary long sword in his hand.
Whether in terms of speed or strength, this masked monster seemed to pose no threat at all.
But it was this person, this soft slash, but the blade light was like moonlight penetrating the leaves of the forest—
He silently chopped off the nine heads, including the one that contained Gu Hailin.
Gu Hailin opened his eyes wide, almost falling into despair, and felt his body losing balance.
Because the huge snake head began to fall slantingly from the seven-inch position.
One knife.
There was no cold light that could blind people's eyes, and no terrifying sword energy that could sweep across the sky. This sword was like a gentle breeze blowing through willows.
The snake head slid down from its hundreds-meter-high body. Bai Wu stood in front of Gu Hailin, and the air flow blew his black cloak.
Before Gu Hailin could ask about Bai Wu's identity, Bai Wu spoke first:
"My name is Bai Wu. I come from the shelter and also from the future..."
This sentence made Gu Hailin feel difficult to understand.
But the current situation is not the time for a leisurely chat.
Original Sin, one strike can cut off 7.5% of the maximum health value. Under the effect of the second level of strength, Bai Wu's one strike is equivalent to two strikes.
So he was able to cut off the Hydra's huge head with one sword.
But now the Hydra has turned into a Yamata-shaped snake, and it no longer has any contempt. The eight remaining snake heads suddenly stopped, and eight angry eyes were fixed on the white mist.
As the snake head fell to the ground, Bai Wu said to Gu Hailin:
"I know you still have a lot of questions, but I need your help now!"
With the Hydra on alert, Bai Mist had no chance of getting close to its head again.
But Gu Hailin can!
The two people, who were separated by ninety years, unexpectedly developed a strange tacit understanding at this time.
Gu Hai said loudly:
"Walk!"
The Hydra's attack came, with perfect distortion attribute, the cold light of death.
This is a powerful move that can instantly wipe out all the opponent's vitality. Hydra will only use it when encountering the most dangerous enemies.
It originally thought that the two humans had no room to dodge on the flying snake head, and that the two humans would surely die.
But in the next moment, Gu Hailin held Bai Wu's hand, and the two disappeared together! Under the gaze of the big snake, they seemed to have evaporated suddenly.
Talent sequence fifty-nine—Instant Shadow.
The super alliance across time and space allowed all the desperate soldiers to see hope at this moment!
The man who was holding the spear and roaring sadly the last moment now had spirit in his eyes again!
He was a masked man who appeared mysteriously, his figure floating in the blood-red mist.
Gu Hailin and Bai Wu appeared in front of the first snake head. Bai Wu swung out a crescent-shaped knife and once again cut off the snake head cleanly.
Before the big snake's various destructive attacks came, Gu Hailin disappeared with white mist once again.
The second snake head was chopped off, still with one blow.
It was as if the god of death had descended. Three heads were chopped off in succession, making the six-headed snake feel a hint of fear.
It was not stupid and soon realized that the two had the ability to teleport. It also realized that the distance they could move was limited and they could not cross the distance between the two snake heads.
Its idea was not wrong, but it had underestimated the intelligence of its prey.
The moment it dispersed its body, the white mist saw through its intention.
In mid-air, Bai Wu loudly asked:
"Can it be launched continuously?"
"Can you react?" Gu Hailin asked back.
"Just teleport! I won't waste my chance!"
"good!"
Thunder fell from the sky, but missed again.
But just as the white fog and Gu Hailin's figure flashed around the fourth head, a cold wave hit, which was enough to freeze a person in an instant.
The big snake was ecstatic, thinking he was about to hit the target, but Bai Wu did not swing the knife, he just made a swinging motion.
The action was only halfway done when Gu Hailin teleported him to the location of the fifth head.
At this moment, Bai Wu swung his knife.
"Return!"
"clear!"
The snake's head was chopped off again, and the giant snake with only five heads left thought that the two humans would attack again.
The remaining four heads all launched deadly attacks at the next head they could reach.
Only this time... it was fooled by the white fog again. The terrifying force bombarded the snake head. It thought it was sacrificing the rook to save the king, and it was winning at the lowest cost.
But Bai Wu's "return" made it become an amused clown. Bai Wu and Gu Hailin did not choose to attack, but chose to retreat.
They returned to the position of the previous head.
"I'm afraid I don't have the physical strength to perform Shadow Instant too many times..." Gu Hailin said loudly while moving quickly.
"Then use your maximum speed to solve it in one go!"
"Then you have to..."
"Keep-"
The silver moonlight penetrated the red fog, stirring up an even scarlet blood fog.
"god!"
What appeared in everyone's eyes was like a white light, swimming upstream, drawing a line in the red fog.
But the line was drawn so quickly that before people had time to marvel, it had already appeared at the position of the next snake head.
Continuous killing.
Three consecutive kills!
Four consecutive kills!
Gu Hailin couldn't imagine that this mysterious man who suddenly appeared could actually keep up with his movements when he used Instant Shadow at full power. His reaction was not even slower than himself who had been using Instant Shadow for many years!
After one cut was completed, there was no extra movement, and the next cut was started directly. As a result, the two of them cut off all the heads of the Hydra in one go...
As short-lived as fireworks.
Of course, the monsters in the red area are not that weak.
But these two men not only cooperated well, but also had perfect attributes. One had super destructive power that could cut off the opponent's lifeline, and the other had zero-time displacement that the opponent could not catch.
The combination of these two abilities produces an incredible chemical reaction.
With the cooperation of the two, all nine heads of the Hydra were cut off!
Including Gu Hailin, everyone's face was full of disbelief. Just a few minutes ago, they still saw no hope.
The coming of the miracle was so brutal that some people shed tears of excitement and uttered meaningless monosyllabic shouts at the corpses on the ground.
This shouting seemed to be contagious and quickly infected everyone.
They didn't know what they were shouting, perhaps they hoped that this hoarse roar could reach the distant underworld and bring comfort to their dead comrades after the victory.
"What the hell is going on... Who are you?"
Gu Hailin also came back to his senses from his shock. He knew that without this young man who suddenly appeared, this dream scene would never have happened.
Bai Wu thought for a moment and said:
"It seems that I am born to get along well with fast people like you. I told you that my name is Bai Wu. I come from the shelter and also from the future."
"Shelter... you mean the tower? What do you mean you're from the future?"
These two questions are actually difficult to answer. Bai Wu had already expected to be asked these questions when he pulled out the original sin.
In the end he could only give a half-true answer.
The fake part is beautiful, the real part is cruel.
"The shelter is not the tower. The tower is just a temporary place for humans to escape the doomsday. I come from the future ninety years later. This is a very absurd thing. You will definitely not believe it if I tell you."
Gu Hailin really found it hard to believe.
Even though just now, he experienced an almost impossible miracle.
Bai Wu looked at the sky. The clouds in the sky were red and the surroundings were also covered by blood-red mist. He wondered if this was the place below the blood-red sea of clouds
High in the sky of Food City, could it be the death flight that will never fall and will never reach its destination
Thinking about it this way, Bai Wu felt more and more that it was possible.
"This world has many special rules. If you go out of the tower often, you will definitely understand that many physical rules are distorted, such as space, time, gravity, temperature... It's like at the top of this blood mist, there is a flight that is always bumping in the repeating time and space."
"I don't need to appear here suddenly and come here just to lie to you that I'm from the future, especially in an environment like this."
Gu Hailin was silent for a few seconds, thinking about the happy cooperation with Bai Wu just now, he said:
"If you are from ninety years later, does that mean... people ninety years later have already walked out of the tower?"
"Yes. Ninety years later, humans walked out of the tower and found an area outside the tower. That place is called the Sanctuary. It is a new world where there is no evil, no corrupt rulers on top of the tower, and no twisted rules."
"In that place, humans can eat food from the era before the tower. They have rebuilt civilization there and are spreading it. With the help of something called the Doomsday Puzzle Fragments, they are taking back the old lands bit by bit. As for the tower... only those rulers are still dreaming of their imperial dreams and are unwilling to come out."
This is the fake part, Bai Wu said it very seriously, he is an actor, just like when he was facing Jing Sizhixin and he made those roars.
In the final analysis, everything is just for the needs of the plot, but it may not be insincere.
He hoped that Gu Hailin could be freed.
After hearing Bai Wu's words, Gu Hailin's eyes were filled with shock and yearning:
"Really... is there really such a place?"
"I'm not lying to you. The knife in my hand is a good proof that humans have developed weapons that can cause severe damage to evil. In the world ninety years later... humans can already face evil alone. It's no longer them driving us away, but we driving them away."
"The Survey Corps of the future will have an outstanding leader named Gu Qingyu. He will lead people out of the tower, overthrow the corrupt rule of the tower, and find a way to rebuild human civilization. Decades later, the Survey Corps and the Suppression Corps will one day reconcile and fight against the monsters outside the tower together."
After a long silence, Gu Hailin suddenly laughed heartily:
"hahahahahahahahahaha… "
He didn't laugh for long. Looking at the remains of corpses and bones on the ground, he showed a look of regret again:
"If you are from the future, can you tell me if we all died in this place on this day in history?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Wu did not deny it, but his expression became solemn. The topic finally changed from the beautiful falsehood to the helpless truth.
"On this day in history, you died at the hands of this Hydra. The Survey Corps and the Suppression Corps joined forces for the first time. The Tower Era went to the Red Zone for the first time, but it ended in a tragic defeat due to the ruler's conspiracy.
You will die here, and when you die, you will carry with you hatred for the tower and anxiety about the future. No soldier will die with his eyes closed, and everyone will die with great resentment and unwillingness. "
This is the real reality, and this is also the future that Gu Hailin has already accepted.
He had already seen this outcome when he mounted the black horse and launched the charge.
"I'm a rough man, I don't understand the rules of time and space and other mysterious things, but I can probably guess... Since I'm dead, I guess your coming won't change anything."
Bai Wu sighed softly:
"Yes, I just felt your obsession and came here through a certain area with special time and space rules. I witnessed the ugliest scam and the most tragic battle in the history of the tower."
"It's just that I can't take you to see that kind of future, because we are not in the same time and space. I can also give you a hope of survival, but history will not change. In a place like outside the tower, you will not survive for a few days, and you will eventually die."
"The sanctuary is still very far away, so far that it will take humans decades of continuous exploration before they can see its traces among the piles of bones."
"You can't find it now, and I can't convince myself to deceive you or give you unrealistic hope. All I can do is to use a special method to enter an area that happened ninety years ago and tell you the answer to that question."
Will humans ever walk out of the tower
In order to explore this issue, Gu Hailin and others, or countless people in the tower over the past six hundred years, have paid a heavy price.
But they never got an answer.
Bai Wu is now convinced that Gu Hailin's obsession... is the answer to this question.
"The tower will not imprison humans forever. Your death is not meaningless. Everything you desire ninety years from now will be realized in the shelter. So... Gu Tuan, please rest in peace."
The world around me has slowly begun to change, and the scenes in the distance seem to have begun to dissipate.
Bai Wu knew that Gu Hailin's knot and obsession had been resolved.
When the world was about to dissipate, the resolute deputy commander laughed proudly and said:
"At least... I got my revenge here, and I know that our deaths were not meaningless. I have no regrets in my death."
The blood-red fog began to slowly dissipate, and in another time and space, the light from the streets of the food city had already shone into this world.
Bai Wu doesn’t know what choice Gu Hailin will make in this telephone booth world. Will he take a group of people to look for an illusory refuge
Or will he and a group of people choose to bury these deceased teammates, and finally die under the influence of some negative attributes, or end their own lives before turning into evil
He didn't know any of this, but as always, his eyes gave him a riddle-like clue -
Human beings can never be peaceful and happy, and escape into satisfaction. When one obsession ends, there is another obsession. The eternal farewell in this time and space does not mean that we will not meet in the next time and space~ Whether it is ninety years or seven hundred years, some people are very rigid. No matter how long they wait, they will wait for a thought~ It is getting more and more interesting. Let's answer the next call together!
He could probably understand the mysterious notes, just like every time he left a certain area, he would see some kind of summary words.
It’s time for the little world in the phone booth to end, and it will have the same habits.
Until this moment, Bai Wu had not yet realized that this special telephone booth area was an area of severe space-time rule mutation.
What he experienced was not just a story of the past that could not be changed.
