The order of the three people's actions is as follows: Aquaman makes a wish, and after the wish is fulfilled, Lin Xi breaks the ruler, and the breaking of the ruler triggers the "No Rules Under the Long Night" skill. Then the cage collapses, Chen Chu rushes out to block the high priest, Aquaman takes the props in the chaos, and finally the three escape.
But after waiting for a long time, none of the three moved.
Lin Yan looked at Neptune in confusion, Neptune looked at Lin Yan strangely, Chen Chu looked at the two of them, and the scene became eerily quiet.
Lin Xi winked at Hai Wang, and Hai Wang raised his finger and pointed at the ruler in Lin Xi's hand, meaning why haven't you broken it yet
"Make a wish first!" Lin Xi said gritting her teeth. How can I break the ruler if you don't make a wish
"I promised." Aquaman also said.
"Impossible, I didn't see it... I didn't sense it." If the wish is successful, the system will give a prompt, but Lin Yan did not see the system prompt.
The high priest sat back on the throne with the scepter in hand. He looked lazy and casual, but his attention never left the three people. Especially the woman who said she would persuade Chen Chu. She had been squatting there for a long time without making any sound. One could tell with a toe that this woman was not persuading Chen Chu at all, but was discussing a plan to escape.
But the high priest was not worried. If he didn't struggle and realize that he was in a desperate situation, how could he be truly desperate? When Chen Chu's two companions realized that only Chen Chu's compromise was their only chance to survive, they would take the initiative to stand on the moral high ground and punish Chen Chu without any temptation.
For example, since you are going to die anyway, why not let the two of us live
So the high priest did not interrupt the three people's secret communication, but waited patiently, waiting for time to pass slowly, waiting for them to realize that death was coming.
It was not until he heard Lin Xi's voice that he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Make a wish? What wish?" The high priest stood up and walked towards the cage.
Oh no, the high priest can sense the effect of props. Lin Yan immediately panicked. The high priest had accurately sensed the ruler in her hand, Sadako's long hair, and the old man sticker. If he could sense the effect of the hairpin, would he destroy it
Lin Xi didn't dare to gamble, and immediately stopped studying why Aquaman couldn't make a wish. She suddenly raised her hand and pulled the goddess of luck's hairpin off Aquaman's hair.
Hai Wang cried out in pain. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Lin Yan put the hairpin in his hair and made a wish quickly: "Make a wish that Xie Xingyu can find the prop to break the death curse."
Fearing that the online name was not formal enough, Lin Xi deliberately changed it to Aquaman’s real name, Xie Xingyu.
[The wish was successful, and Xie Xingyu received a blessing of luck, with a time limit of five minutes.]
"I feel a very mysterious power. Do you have any props that I don't know about?" The moment the goddess' hairpin was activated, the high priest felt the power. It was a soft, bright, non-threatening power, but it made his heart palpitate. Almost instinctively, the high priest raised his hand and slapped Lin Yan's back. As long as there was a variable that he could not control, he would destroy it.
And the moment Lin Xi fulfilled her wish, she simply raised her hand and broke the ruler.
"Snapped"
The ruler broke into two pieces.
[If the Master had not been born, the world would have been dark forever! ]
Instantly, the sky shook and the earth trembled. The entire Soul Locking Tower was shaken. During the vibration, the rule runes were broken into pieces, and the power of the rule disappeared. Between heaven and earth, a voice full of vicissitudes and compassion continued to echo: "If the Master had not been born, the world would be as dark as a night."
"The power of rules has disappeared?!" The high priest was so shocked by the changes in the Soul Locking Tower that he even stopped attacking Lin Xi and looked at the collapsing Soul Locking Tower in disbelief.
The towering Soul-Locking Tower twisted and tilted, bricks fell like raindrops, and those psychics who had entered the Soul-Locking Tower and those who had not entered the Soul-Locking Tower all exclaimed in surprise.
"What happened? Why did the Soul Locking Tower collapse?"
"There's no official record that Soul Locking Tower will collapse."
"Why is it so dark? Who was that old man who just spoke? He seemed to be speaking Chinese."
"Don't worry about who's talking. Find a way out first. The exit is in the Soul Locking Tower."
"There are energy stones falling out, and there are also props."
"Hurry up and pick it up and go to the exit."
Someone shouted this, and the shocked superpowers finally reacted. They rushed over to pick up the props that fell with the bricks, and ran desperately towards the Soul Locking Tower. They were afraid that it would be too late, the Soul Locking Tower would collapse, and the exit would disappear.
At this time on the seventh floor, Lin Xi ran to the exit as fast as she could when the barrier was opened. She didn't care about the life and death of Chen Chu and Hai Wang. This was planned in advance. In the plan, Lin Xi's task was to break the ruler and run away. Hai Wang's task was to get the props and run away. Chen Chu ran away after confirming that both of them had escaped. Therefore, as long as Lin Xi ran fast enough, she would be helping.
"It's you!" After a brief moment of shock, the high priest locked his eyes on Lin Yan, "You actually have a tool that can break the rules?"
The high priest's voice was filled with incredible joy. If he could possess this item, what else in the world could restrain him? At this moment, Lin Yan was no less important to him than Chen Chu, or even more important than Chen Chu. Although there were not many people with superpowers like Chen Chu who could carry his soul, there would always be one every few hundred years. However, he had never seen anyone like Lin Yan who could break the rules.
"Give it to me!" The high priest raised his hand and grabbed Lin Xi who had already run to the stairs.
Chen Chu had been paying attention to the high priest for a long time. When he saw the high priest attack, he immediately blocked it. He didn't know when he grabbed a simple-looking long spear in his hand. Chen Chu held the long spear in front of him and chopped it hard. The power that the high priest was trying to grab Lin Yan was actually cut off by him.
Chen Chu knew that he was no match for the high priest, so he used all his strength from the beginning.
"Do you think you can beat me?" When the rules of the Soul Locking Tower were in place, Chen Chu was no match for him, let alone now.
"Xingyu!" Chen Chu did not answer the high priest, but shouted towards the King of the Sea.
"Looking!" Hai Wang was also extremely anxious. The things in this building were already in a mess. Now that the Soul Locking Building had collapsed, the things in the building were still moving. The things that were just in the east had moved to the south in a moment. How could he find them? Many of them had fallen directly out of the window. He was now afraid that the props Chen Chu needed would also fall out.
"Are you looking for a tool to break the death curse?" The high priest attacked Chen Chu, trying to break through Chen Chu's obstruction to capture Lin Yan, while analyzing their intentions, "I cast your death curse myself, it's not that easy to break."
Chen Chu's expression did not change after hearing this. He had no spare energy to worry about anything else. All his attention was focused on dealing with the high priest's attack. The high priest was too powerful, and his power was still rising. With the collapse of the Soul Locking Tower, the high priest's power was returning.
The Sea King had already got the wooden token that could unlock his own curse, but he couldn't find Chen Chu's. He was anxious and irritated: "Lucky, what is lucky? Does it mean that you can grab the item you want just by grabbing it randomly? But what if you grab the wrong one? This is the only chance."
Aquaman didn't know to what extent the hairpin could bring luck. He was panicked and unable to make a decision. At this moment, he heard the voice of the high priest. He subconsciously looked back at the high priest, and then an inspiration came to him.
Yes, it was literally a sudden inspiration, as if there was some kind of guidance in his mind. He stared at the high priest's crown for a long time, unable to move away. A cognition, without warning, sprouted in his heart: that was the prop he wanted.
He found it!
After his joy, Aquaman became worried again. He had found the thing, but that thing was on the head of the big boss.
The battle between Chen Chu and the high priest was very fierce. It was difficult for him to get close, so how could he steal the crown? The Sea King was still thinking of a way, but Chen Chu was getting more and more exhausted. He was about to be forced to the stairs. He suddenly looked at the Sea King and saw that the Sea King was standing there in a daze. He guessed that he might not be able to find the props and was unwilling to leave.
"Let's go, stop looking!" If they can't find it, then forget it. Originally, they were betting on luck, and it was already a blessing from the goddess of luck that two people escaped.
Hai Wang was awakened by Chen Chu's words. He also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise both of them would be in danger. However, the props had been found, and he was unwilling to give up. Finally, Hai Wang made up his mind: "Let's take a gamble. Whether it succeeds or not, I'll leave."
After saying this, the Sea King's supernatural powers flowed, and his A-level water supernatural powers were exerted to the extreme, mobilizing all the water elements that could be mobilized in the surrounding space, forming a water rope, which quickly rolled towards the crown on the high priest's head.
Chen Chu discovered the Sea King's intention. He shook his spear violently, and a surge of wind energy spread from his body. The high priest's robe sleeves fluttered in the strong wind, blowing the jewelry props all over the ground, blowing sand and rocks. The high priest narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly felt a lightness on his head. He turned his head and saw a water rope in the air pulling the crown on his head into the hands of another outsider.
"I got it, I actually got it?!" Aquaman himself couldn't believe that he actually got the crown from the high priest's head.
Awesome! He is indeed a lucky lady’s hairpin! He even got this.
Although he was excited, Aquaman did not forget his mission. After getting the crown, he turned around and ran away.
"Bastard!" The high priest was furious, wishing he could slap to death the outsider who stole his crown. But as soon as he moved, Chen Chu's spear from behind him stabbed towards him. The powerful energy caused his spirit body to vibrate, and the high priest could only turn around to block it.
"Clang!" The scepter and the spear collided with each other, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.
Aquaman is an A-level psychic, and his escape speed is unmatched by Lin Ping. With just this delay, he has already rushed out of the barrier and ran towards the exit.
"Since they have all left, you can stay." The high priest knew that the exit was outside. Even if he chased after them now, he would not be able to stop the two from leaving. But it didn't matter. As long as Chen Chu was killed, what would the use of taking the crown be. As for the woman, there was no rush. There was still a lot of time, and he would see her again.
With the high priest at his full strength, it was not easy for Chen Chu to find a chance to escape. He could only wave his spear, use the ancient martial arts he had learned, and fight with the high priest with his strength advantage.
"I curse..." As the high priest spoke, the power of curse overflowed from his body.
Chen Chu couldn't see the power of the curse, but he could feel it. He ignored the scepter and flew forward, piercing the high priest's eyes with his spear. The high priest stepped back suddenly and the curse was forced to be interrupted.
At this time, at the exit of the sixth floor, Lin Yan had already opened the space door and could leave at any time. She was waiting there anxiously. When she saw the Sea King coming out, she asked anxiously, "Did you get it?"
Just as Hai Wang was about to say that he had it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Yan's hair and was startled: "Your hair!"
Behind Lin Yan, Sadako's long hair was spread out on the ground, moving constantly, and the hair went down along the gaps between the stairs and the collapsed building, and it was unknown where it went. The scene was weird and terrifying.
"She's picking up things, don't pay attention to her. Did you get the props?" Lin Xi was speechless about Sadako. Did she like energy stones so much that she didn't even bother to run away and pick up two pieces.
"It's good that we got it. Where's Senior Chen Chu?" Lin Xi looked behind Neptune. At present, everything was going well in the plan. They just had to wait for Senior Chen Chu to escape, and then they could leave.
"That old monster is going crazy. I don't know if Chen Chu can get out." Neptune said worriedly.
"What should we do?" Lin Yan was shocked. The plan they made did not include any provision for Chen Chu to escape. Because Chen Chu was too calm at the time, as if he could rush out from the seventh floor at any time if he wanted. But now it seems that the high priest is stronger than Chen Chu, so it is difficult for him to escape.
"Wait one more minute. After that, no matter whether Chen Chu comes out or not, we will leave." Neptune decided.
Of course, he also hoped that the three of them could go together, but he also knew that Chen Chu was blocking the seventh floor so desperately just to allow them to leave safely.
At this moment, the dark building seemed to be a little brighter. The two looked out from the collapsed gap and saw that the originally pitch-black night was gradually showing a hint of gray.
Is this... dawn
"You take it!" Neptune made a prompt decision and handed the crown to Lin Xi.
When the day breaks, the rules will be restored. He has already crushed the wooden tablet that lifted his own curse. According to the rules, he has already taken out one item, so he cannot take a second one.
Lin Yan hugged the crown, her face full of fear: "System, why is it dawn? Isn't there ten minutes?"
"Is it written as ten minutes on the item's attributes?" the system asked.
This is not written, so the skill time is not fixed. Is it so pitfall? There is also the goddess hairpin. It didn't work when I used it on Aquaman just now.
"The hairpin of the goddess of luck is a unique item and can only be used by the host. It is marked in the inventory, please read it carefully?" said the system.
Was it marked? Why doesn’t she remember it
On the seventh floor, the high priest felt it the moment the sky began to brighten, or rather, he had already felt the return of the power of rules before the gray color appeared.
The rules are being fixed!
The high priest paused in his attack.
Distracted?!
Chen Chu noticed that the high priest was distracted. Although he didn't know why the high priest suddenly lost his focus during the battle, this was his only chance to escape. He immediately put away his gun and turned around. His body turned into wind and disappeared on the spot.
The high priest actually noticed Chen Chu's actions. If he really wanted to stop him, he could have stopped him, but he did not. Instead, he turned around decisively and ran in the opposite direction. Before the power of rules was fully restored, he split the wall with a palm and jumped out of the Soul Locking Tower.
"Buzz buzz buzz" the Soul Locking Tower suddenly roared, as if it had sensed something. The light of the rule runes continued to shine, and the speed of dawn was getting faster and faster.
The Sea King sensed something was wrong and pulled Lin Yan to leave: "Let's go!"
"But… "
"Let's go!" Before Lin Yan finished her words, another "let's go" was heard. It was Chen Chu's voice. Chen Chu turned into a breeze and rushed into the space gate with the two of them.
At this time, Chen Chu no longer cared about who went first and who went later. He just wanted to leave here first. The moment they left, the sky was completely bright. The Soul Locking Tower that had just collapsed was like a movie played in reverse. The way it collapsed just now was the same as it was restored. In a blink of an eye, it was restored. The solemn and mysterious Soul Locking Tower still stood in the gray fog.
Those psychics who picked up a bunch of props but failed to leave the Soul Locking Tower in time were dumbfounded for a moment.
How come it's back to normal? Can I still take these things out
At the back of the Soul Locking Tower, the high priest in wide-sleeved gorgeous clothes and without a crown, holding a scepter, took one last look at the Soul Locking Tower and slowly walked into the gray fog surrounding the Soul Locking Tower.
That gray fog is a space crack. No one has ever been able to enter and come out.
Earth, above the Mudai River, ten thousand meters above sea level.
Lin Yan tightly held the crown that the Sea King had stuffed into his arms. When he came out, he saw the clear blue sky without a cloud in the sky. Just as he was about to smile, his body suddenly fell down.
"Huh? Huh!!!!"
Under the crazy effect of gravity acceleration, Lin Xi's falling speed was getting faster and faster. Even Sadako's long hair could not remain elegant in the air and was blown like crazy by the strong wind.
Why am I in heaven?!
Chen Chu had mentioned to Neptune once before, saying that he and Lin Yan were swallowed on the plane. Lin Yan heard it but didn’t think much about it. It was not until this moment that she understood what Neptune meant by “oh”.
I was swallowed on the plane, why didn’t they put me back on the plane? What’s the point of leaving me in the sky?!
Help!
Lin Xi really wanted to shout for help, but the rapid fall and strong winds made it difficult for her to even open her mouth. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Chen Chu would come and save her quickly.
Suddenly, her eyes blurred and she fell into a misty sea of clouds. When she was on a plane before, she saw the plane passing through the clouds and imagined what it felt like to be inside. Now she felt it, and it didn't feel good at all.
It was wet, cold, and there was not enough oxygen. She felt like she was suffocating. Suddenly, Lin saw a light in the clouds, like a car light.
But how could there be car lights in the sky
"boom!"
A Boeing 747 flew in from outside the clouds and seemed to hit something with a "bang".
The captain quickly looked outside, then checked the radar, and asked the co-pilot uncertainly: "Did we hit something just now?"
The co-pilot shook his head: "No way, this is already above 8,000 meters, what could be there?"
The captain scratched his head: "Yes."
On the side of the plane, Lin Xi, who was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, was stuck precisely in a position that neither the passengers nor the pilot could see, and she slowly slid down.
[The merit value is reset to zero, triggering a car accident (changed to an airplane due to special circumstances) penalty.]
Although you know that you will be hit by a car if you break the ruler, aren't you going too far by letting a plane hit you
The next moment, Lin Xi realized that this was not the worst.
After the first collision, the system quickly repaired Lin's injuries, and Lin's body slid down the side of the plane. At the moment she slid down, the engine of the plane accurately brushed past her shoulder.
[The merit value is reset to zero, triggering a car accident (changed to an airplane due to special circumstances) penalty.]
system!!!
In the cockpit, the captain still felt something was wrong: "The engine seems to be moving."
The first officer said, “I’ll go check it out.”
"Lin Yan?!"
When Lin Xi was hit for the second time, the plane just flew out of the clouds, and Chen Chu, who had been searching for Lin Xi's location since he came out, finally sensed Lin Xi's location. However, he just saw Lin Xi and witnessed the scene of Lin Xi and the plane colliding.
Chen Chu turned into a hurricane of fear and flew to the falling Lin Yan at the fastest speed and caught her carefully.
"Lin Yan, Lin Yan, how are you?" Chen Chu was anxious to check on Lin Yan's injuries, but he couldn't do anything in the air. He was even afraid that if he held Lin Yan's arm a little harder, he would hurt her. He could only comfort her constantly, with a tremor in his voice that he himself didn't even notice. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital now."
"I can't...die!" After the system repaired her injuries again, Lin Yan finally had the strength to speak, "Fly...fly slower, I can't breathe."
Chen Chu's flying suddenly stopped. He was so busy saving people that he forgot to put a shield around Lin Yan. It was also his first time to fly at such a high altitude, so he really didn't have much experience.
Chen Chu hurriedly stopped and used his supernatural power to create a protective shield with sufficient oxygen to cover the two of them.
"call"
Lin Xi could finally breathe deeply.
"Your injury?" Chen Chu suddenly became puzzled, because he felt that Lin Yan's body energy was recovering. It was as if there was a force repairing her body.
Although Chen Chu does not know medicine, as an S-level psychic, he can feel the strength of a person's body energy.
"I'm fine... Ugh..." Lin Yan resisted the urge to vomit, "This is the price of using supernatural powers."
"Because of the broken ruler?" Chen Chu reacted immediately. He had a similar experience when he came out of Blizzard City before.
"right."
Damn system! It would be fine if they just hit it with a plane, but why did they hit it twice
