Chapter 51 World-Class Crisis (5)
“It started a month ago…”
A month ago, Takeuchi Aota was still like an ordinary graduate, working and studying, and her heart was full of ambitions. Even if the conditions were not good, she was penniless and her heart was full of enthusiasm.
Until one day, he witnessed a murder scene with his own eyes.
It was late at night. Aota Takeuchi, who was tired, had just finished working overtime at the company. On the way home, he heard a scream and a faint sound of help.
But when he smelled the sound and found a small alley, only a male body was left in the alley. Four pieces of meat and blood from the ground. The unprecedented impact made Takeuchi Aota vomit out directly. He hurriedly retreated, took out his cell phone and started making a call.
But when he brought the police to the scene of the murder, there was nothing there.
"Wait, you said you saw the body, but the police were gone after they arrived?" Emma asked.
"Yes." Takeuchi Aota's eyes were filled with fear and relief, as if he had finally told the secret in his heart.
"How long did you leave the scene?"
Takeuchi Aota said: "I was too scared at that time and didn't dare to stay alone, so I kept waiting outside until the police came. If it was time, it would take about five minutes."
"Okay, keep talking, things shouldn't be that simple and it's over."
Takeuchi Aota shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course not..."
Afterwards, the police scolded Takeuchi Aota and told him not to make jokes casually. Takeuchi Aota was too polite. Looking at the empty alley, he himself doubted whether he was too tired and had hallucinations.
But what happened next was to tell him that this was definitely not an illusion.
Because at noon the next day, he saw another human body in the men's bathroom in the company. He screamed wildly and ran away. But when the company's security guard came to the toilet with him, the entire men's bathroom was clean and tidy. Where was the broken body?
Faced with the questioning gazes of the security guards, Takeuchi Aota had no choice. Even his boss gave him a day off and asked him to go home and have a good rest.
But resting is not helpful. Because the whole thing is starting to get weirder. Takeuchi Aota encountered the third corpse again. This time it was next to the unmanned trash can.
With the experience of the previous two times, Takeuchi Aota did not call the police or escape. He was brave enough to stand in front of the corpse with his crazy beating heart, and he wanted to figure out what was going on.
In this way, at 10 o'clock in the evening, Takeuchi Aota stood alone by the trash can, looking at the broken corpses all over the ground. It seemed that the stubborn part of his personality appeared. This time Takeuchi Aota was not escaping at all, so he stared at the corpse with his eyes.
So he finally saw a group of creatures like gray wolfs ran out from all over the world. As if no one was around, they ate all the corpses on the ground in front of Takeuchi Aota.
Blood, flesh, internal organs, brain, bones, nothing was left behind. Looking at these monsters like gray wolfs, Takeuchi Ao crawled out like a madman.
I don’t know if it’s good luck. Or the group of gray wolves are already full, and they don’t catch up.
But in the days that followed, the number of gray wolves seemed to be increasing.
Takeuchi Aota saw them nearby countless times. At first, they were just in the dark alleys and in the dark streets. But as time passed, they seemed to be getting bolder and began to attack pedestrians directly on the road.
The strangest thing is that others seem to be unable to see these gray wolves. Even the people who were attacked and bitten were completely unconscious. There was no scream or fear, just like a dead person, letting the gray wolves dismember and then eating them.
"Can you describe the appearance of the gray wolf in detail?" Emma thought to herself: 'Is it a person of some kind? But why do they always appear near Aota Takeuchi? Or are they appearing near Aota Takeuchi's home and company?'
Takeuchi Aotachi said everything, as if he wanted to release all the fear in his heart over the past month.
"They look very much like wolves, about one meter tall and two or three meters long. But they are definitely not wolves. They have a gray flame on their bodies. No one except me can see them, and they will not react even when they are bitten by wolves. Not only the bitten people, but even the people nearby ignore them, as if they didn't see them." Takeuchi Aota's face turned pale.
"And then something even worse happened."
As the gray wolf and various corpses appeared in the sight of Takeuchi Aota, his spirit became less and less effective. He was in fear all day long, fearing death, fearing gray wolf, fearing people's indifference, and even more afraid that one day he would be buried in the wolf's belly like the people before.
Finally one day, one of Takeuchi Aota's colleagues was also attacked by the gray wolf. Takeuchi Aota watched the gray wolf eat his colleague bit by bit. Facing the scene in front of him, he finally broke out. He raised the table and chair and smashed it at the gray wolf, but the gray wolf was like a phantom, and the table and chairs passed by directly, and no matter what kind of attack was, it was useless.
The people around him also did not respond to what he did.
It was not until the next day that news about him came from the company. The male colleague who was attacked by the gray wolf ran away from home. The colleague who was swallowed up by Aota Takeuchi was actually turned into a run away from home?
Takeuchi Aota felt that he seemed to be trapped in an invisible vortex. From that day on, he found that someone seemed to be following him around him.
He also tried to investigate these things, and even after that, he tried to save the person devoured by the gray wolf every time, but it was no result.
"Wait a minute, when do you think someone is following you?" Emma asked.
Takeuchi Aota made up and told Emma. Emma was shocked: "As expected, it was the second day after Yan Bei came to Kyoto? So, is it because Yan Bei's beast biting traces were also attacked by these gray wolves? But... why? What is so special about Takeuchi Aota that makes Yan Bei target him on the third day after he arrived in Kyoto?"
Takeuchi Aota who was standing beside him didn't think so much and continued, "There is nothing special next time. I can't stand this kind of thing anymore, so I chose to give up and return to my hometown to live this life."
After listening to the whole thing, not only did Emma's doubts not solve, but more problems were found, like a mess, making her unable to figure out what was going on.
At this moment, a man covered in blood rushed out of the corridor. It was Hansen. As soon as he rushed out, he shouted when he saw Emma: "Samael!"
In an instant, a pitch-black portal appeared at his feet, and the next moment, his feet were empty. His whole body had already passed through the portal and came to Emma's side.
And a metal dagger had already passed the position where he was standing.
Looking at Samar who suddenly flashed, Emma said coldly: "Where is pink?"
A sneer came from under Samar's mask, and he casually said, "Are you talking about that woman? I cut her chest with a knife. If I have luck, I can live for ten minutes."
An astonishing murderous intent emerged from Emma's body, and a black gap emerged from the air on her palm. It was a half-open portal, a torn space.
At this moment, Emma's hand turned into a weapon like a sharp blade, but it was more than ten thousand times sharper than an ordinary blade.
"Do you know who you are attacking?"
‘The childish threat.’
Seeing the sharp blade transformed into space on Emma's hand, Samar pulled out a dagger from his waist again: "Daxia Dragon Bird, hum... Others are afraid of Li Anping, but we are not afraid. Just a single man with a muscle-filled mind.
He should be glad he was not facing me personally today."
Emma said angrily: "You are looking for death!" It was this anger. The space blade in her hand seemed to have a slight fluctuation.
Just such a slight fluctuation, which may be difficult for even Emma to detect, Samar saw it. It was influenced by the spirit and emotions of the capable person, which made the open space unstable.
At least at this moment, Emma's strength declined slightly.
The previously arrogant and contemptuous emotions disappeared instantly on Samar. He was like a calm poisonous snake, angering his prey through provocation. Then he grabbed the other party's mistake and launched an attack.
The metal dagger disappeared and appeared again, but the place where the blade passed by was not as expected. There was only endless darkness, like the deepest darkness in the universe, appeared in front of Samar.
‘Space Gate? Have you expected that I would attack the back? I realized my attack habit after just two contacts. This woman is not an ordinary person’
Thinking of this, Samar had no choice but to teleport again, otherwise he would rush into the portal opened by the opponent with the power of rushing forward, and God knew where he would teleport him.
A figure flashed, he had already appeared on the edge of the roof, and there were no Hanson and Takeuchi Aota beside Emma.
Samar said: "It seems you are planning to solve the problem of taking care of Aota Takeuchi first." At this moment, he was not as arrogant as before, but he was like a sophisticated murder machine, staring at Emma coldly.
Emma said, "No, I plan to catch you and know from your mouth what's going on."
"Ignorance woman."
With a sneer, Samar flashed for more than a dozen times in a row, constantly appearing around Emma.
‘The same ability to move space, the biggest difference between me and her is the distance to move and the cooling time of each ability to use. Of course, the most important thing is that my instantaneous movement only requires one thought, and her space teleportation requires opening the portal and getting in at the same time.
So the speed of each transmission will be slower than me. But while her ability has this disadvantage, it also has an advantage that I cannot match, that is, she can open the portal within a certain range and use the space teleportation on me.
So in order to avoid my disadvantages and give full play to my strengths, she will definitely regard me as the operating target of space transmission. While blocking me with the portal, she will also attack me with space cracks. This is the same.
And on my side, the target of manipulation is also me.
With the same goal, what we competed between us was the cooling time of ability and our own reaction. As long as my instantaneous movement of cooldown is lower than the cooling time of your space transmission, and my reaction is faster than your reaction, then you will definitely die.’
After flashing for more than a dozen times, Samar disappeared again in less than a second. In the past ten seconds, he had maintained the same movement, maintaining the posture of stabbing the dagger first. Because the gap between his instant movement was too short, his body had no time to change his movements.
But there is no need to change the movement. As long as he keeps using instant movement, even if he still maintains the same posture and force, as long as he moves his body position, it is still equivalent to poking Emma from all angles.
Just after avoiding the cover of the portal twice in a row and cutting the gap in the space three times, a sneer came from under Samar's mask.
‘This woman can open three portals at the same time.
The cooldown I just showed was about 0.5 seconds, and it took about one second to open the cooldown between the two space portals, which was already a fatal gap. 0.5 seconds was enough for me to kill her ten times.
But considering that she may not have done her best, she should consider her cooling time to be 0.5 seconds. The test is over.’
So, it's now!'
When Emma opened a space door again to block her and prevented the opponent's attack, in less than 0.1 second, Samar had teleported again, his body movements did not change, and his arms were still stabbing forward, but the position of the attack had completely changed. The next moment, before Emma's ability was activated, the dagger could pierce her heart.
Samar said proudly in his heart: ‘The real extreme cooling time of my instant movement can be activated every 0.1 seconds.
From the moment you decided to fight me head-on, you were doomed to defeat.
This knife is just the beginning. As the fifth level, you certainly don’t die so easily, but next, I won’t give you a chance to escape.
Chapter completed!
