Stepping onto the floor of the hospital cashier's office, Tianyang fanned his nose with his hands to brush away the dust formed by the crushed paper pages, and coughed lightly twice.
Looking behind him, the door between the cracks closed quickly, and the last thing Tianyang saw was Nuo Jin's panicked, confused, and frightened face.
Tianyang was not moved at all.
The boy watched the face disappear behind the door indifferently before his expression thawed. He rubbed his face, making his face, which had maintained the same expression for a long time, become soft and warm again.
Unable to figure out how to deal with this spy lady for the time being, Tianyang simply left her in the drifting town. After dealing with the matter in the time gap, he would consider whether to release her or end it all and let her become a dead person.
Anyway, he has been hostile to the shadow for a long time, so sending away another spy is not a big deal.
But when Tianyang thought of the gap in time, he felt a headache. This chaotic gap in space might not be so easy to solve.
Maybe there is an ancient existence like "Bo Xun" hidden in here, otherwise how could there be such an abnormal space
After coming out of the cashier's office, Tian Yang started a carpet search, carefully "filtering" the entire first floor of the building. In order not to miss any corner, he kept in touch with the black fog throughout the process, using the black fog to expand his perception range.
Unfortunately, even then, there is no charge other than taking out a few polluters.
Moreover, these polluters had no remnants left behind, which made the boy feel that his luck was a bit bad...
After searching the first floor without any results, Tianyang moved towards the second floor. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he heard a faint cry coming from deep inside the second floor.
Someone!
Whoever it is, it's a discovery.
Tianyang immediately quickened his pace, turning into a gust of wind and a shadow, and rushed up like a ghost. The stairs disappeared under his feet, and the boy rushed into the second floor, where traces of the previous fight with the thugs were still there.
With them, Tianyang was sure that he was in the time zone of three years ago.
The pollutants also have an explanation. They should be the things that entered the building three years ago.
The priest who committed suicide in the carriage was probably the work of the polluter. It was a pity that the priest who stayed behind was not trapped in the cracks of time, but was "scared" to death by the polluter.
As his thoughts raced, Tian Yang and his men hurriedly ran out of a room. Under the light, a sign with the words "Inspection Room" was hung on the door of the room.
Among them, there were three people wearing protective clothing. They looked to be either religious warriors or priests.
There was another person, holding a big sword and wearing a holy robe, dancing with a fierce sword light, seeming to be stopping something in the prosecutor's office.
"Priest Wei, go away and leave me alone!"
The figure who was obviously from the temple shouted.
"But... "
The man called Wei the priest was obviously hesitant, and the two religious warriors beside him picked him up and ran away without saying anything.
But at this moment, right in front of them, the wall on one side of the corridor suddenly collapsed. In the dust, a series of small figures jumped out from the gap.
When the light was shone, it was seen that there were some little people stepping on the gravel.
Less than one meter tall, thin, with dark skin, they basically look like ten-year-old human children. However, these "children" have flat snake-like hair.
A head with no eyeballs, no nose, but with two nostrils as thick as fingers.
Behind them, from where their spines extend, grow long, wriggling, strange tails.
The tail is very long, so long that it can extend into the darkness in the gap in the wall. It is so long that it doesn't look like a tail, but more like something like an umbilical cord...
Although these little snakemen were small, they were extremely brave. As soon as they ran out of the gap, they pounced on the warriors and Wei the priest. The two warriors quickly let go of the priest and each took out their weapons to attack.
A warrior was using a powerful mechanical rifle. Amid the sounds of gears turning and chains biting, pale golden solid bullets were ejected from the muzzle.
It easily blew open the head of a little snake man, and the bullet even broke out of the skull and ripped open the stomach of another little snake man.
But no matter whether his head exploded or his belly burst open, the little snake man did not die!
They dragged their broken bodies and pounced forward unconsciously. The warrior only had time to fire one more shot before he was knocked down by the little snake man.
These things were also very strong. They knocked down a tall warrior who was nearly twice as tall as them in just a few moves. Then they jumped on him, screaming and jumping around like crazy, and violently torturing the warrior.
Another warrior drew out his long sword and hacked at the little snake man, but he was even more miserable. Without the star essence, he couldn't even cut open the body of a snake man with just his strength.
However, in a panic, he cut off the umbilical cord-like thing on the back of a little snake man, and saw that the little snake man's body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, and finally only a skin and bones corpse was left.
However, there were too many snakemen, and soon both warriors were knocked to the ground. They tried their best to shrink their bodies and use less important parts to withstand the attacks of the snakemen.
Even so, every punch and kick from the snake man still caused considerable damage to them.
Just when Priest Wei thought he needed to prepare death prayers for the two believers in advance, a bright light illuminated his eyes.
In the bright but not dazzling light, he could barely see a figure flash, and then the light kept on shining, interlacing like lightning, severing the umbilical cords behind the little snake men.
In the darkness, in some far corner, an angry roar was heard.
Looking at the corpses that remained on the ground and had not been dispersed into filthy mud, Tianyang was certain that these little snakemen were not the people of darkness, but, as he had just guessed, the appendages of some kind of life.
It is inevitable that people will be surprised by the accessories that have the ability to move, but considering that this is the reverse world, it seems not so surprising.
"Are you all right?"
Tianyang pulled up one of the warriors and checked his protective suit. He was lucky that there were no signs of tearing in the suit, thanks to the fact that the little snake man used blunt attacks instead of sharp or penetrating ones.
"Are you the Holy Temple?"
Priest Wei was quite surprised: "I don't remember there being a Youth Temple in the team."
Just about to explain.
A sharp sword energy came towards him.
Tianyang dodged and looked for the trace. It turned out to be the tall temple from before. He had already dealt with those little snake people. When they suddenly saw Tianyang, they thought he was an enemy, so they attacked.
Now seeing that Tianyang was wearing the holy robe and the Twilight Oath, he also said "Huh": "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Tianyang saw that no little snake man appeared for the time being, so he put away the golden wind and said, "My name is Tianyang. I just became
Templar. Priest Wei, you have been missing for three years. Priest He and I are here to investigate the cause of your disappearance. "
"Missing for three years?"
"Priest He, which Priest He?"
Tian Yang nodded: "Yes, you have been missing for three years. As for Priest He, his full name is He Wenchi."
Priest Wei was surprised and said, "Xiao He is already a priest? Also, why do you say we have been missing for three years? We have only been here for two days."
Tian Yang smiled lightly: "Yes, you only stayed in the building for two days, but outside, three years have passed."
Wei Siji's whole body was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Time gap?"
But he immediately denied it: "No, so far, the time difference between the gap and the outside world is at most five days, how can it be three years!"
Tian Yang lowered his voice and his tone became serious: "Because the rules of this gap can only be described as 'chaotic'. Before this, I met one of your team members, his name is Nan Xun. He left the gap and died of old age in an instant."
Wei Siji got up excitedly: "You mean, he died from the backlash of time? Died of old age? He wasted all his life?"
Tianyang glanced at the darkness in the gap in the wall, and with the help of the black fog, he extended his thoughts and monitored the situation inside and around him: "I'm afraid so. Priest He has the same doubt as you, so we said that this gap is very chaotic."
"Moreover, its boundaries have expanded and now extend to the square outside the building. Priest He and his men are in the square and they are trapped."
"Once you leave the border, the gap, ordinary people will instantly grow old and die. Although the gap in time had no effect on the Ascendants before, no one can be sure about this situation now."
"So we, who were originally planning to retreat, finally chose to stay."
Wei Siji's mind worked quickly and he guessed the answer immediately: "You want to find the origin and close the gap?"
"That's right."
Tianyang looked at him and said, "You have been here for two days. Have you found the origin?"
The tall and great sage smiled bitterly: "If we had been discovered, we wouldn't have been missing for 'three years'. Oh, Ah Mei must be heartbroken. Oh, by the way, my name is Zhao Jun."
"In this case, we can only search floor by floor."
Tianyang pointed to where he came up and said, "There is a staircase leading to the first floor. You can go to the square and meet up with Priest He. As long as you don't leave the gap, you shouldn't be affected by the backlash of time."
Zhao Jun nodded: "I will come to find you after I send the priests down."
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "No, you should rest. I see you are injured, aren't you?"
Zhao Jun didn't take it seriously: "It's just a minor injury, it's okay. And this floor is very dangerous. Did you see those little snake men just now? Do you know what they are?"
Tianyang shook his head honestly. He had never seen it before.
Zhao Jun lowered his voice and said, "They are called 'Manic Tentacles'. The first two characters correspond to their temper, and the last two characters indicate their nature."
"Yes, even though they look lively and active, these things are just its tentacles."
Tentacles...
This... is indeed surprising.
Tian Yang swallowed and made his voice sound relatively calm: "So what does it mean?"
"it is... ... ."
