Siren Blade

Chapter 36 Rescue Soldiers
About half an hour later, we explained to each other everything about entering this different space.

While exchanging information, we are not idle, we are exploring this different space, trying to find a way out.

Qingniao pondered, "So that's how it is. You are a demon released by the middleman, and you entered this different space by mistake..."

"Didn't you wipe out all those demons?" I asked, "A fish that slipped through the net?"

"No, it's probably because the spirit residues of those demons re-assembled... Too many demons were eliminated at that time, and the remaining residue materials were enough to automatically re-assemble. I heard that this kind of thing would happen occasionally, but I took it lightly It's..." she said shamefully.

"So... is it the middleman who ran away from me just now?" I recalled the scene at that time. Did the middleman run away as soon as he saw me because he knew that I was now with the law enforcement warlock?
I went on to say, "But I don't seem to have seen the succubus you mentioned."

"After the middleman and the succubus entered the different space, they took advantage of the unpredictable characteristics here to escape my pursuit. During the period, the succubus left the team halfway through my pursuit, probably because they wanted to split into two groups with the middleman. Escaping... No, it is more likely to use the same method as the middleman to leave this different space."

"They have a way to leave, but you don't, that's why they trapped themselves and you into this different space at the same time..." I thought for a while, "Speaking of which... why do you know that there are traps waiting in front of you? Are you still chasing after him?"

"Well, well... If this is a different space created by a certain demon, all you need to do is destroy the demon..."

She avoided the key question... I searched my brains to recall the knowledge in the general knowledge textbook of the Security Bureau, "But if this is a naturally formed different space, isn't the entrance and exit random?"

She turned her head, "...the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge."

"I've wanted to ask you before, why don't you..."

"Ah, I can't hear, I can't hear!"

"You can't be a fool."

"It really came out!" She was dumbfounded, and then said, "But even if the guy in the middle is just let go for a day, I don't know if there will be new victims..."

"But if you die, many criminals who would have been killed by you in the future may just get away with it."

"Then you are the same? You also know that following a demon may stray into a dangerous different space?"

"I……"

"Are you trying to say, 'It doesn't matter if I die'?" she said loudly, "If you say such stupid things, you won't be able to sleep in my bed at night!"

No, I just want to say that I failed to recall the knowledge on paper in time during the practice process.

And don't make it sound like I really want to sleep with you.Also, you just really want to talk about watching such lines.

I swallowed all these complaints back to my stomach.

At some point, we arrived at a place that looked like the hallway of a mansion in a horror game.Another grotesque demon attacked from around the corner, and Qingniao casually threw a thunder gun to wipe it out without leaving any dross.

"There are a lot of demons in this different space. This is the sixth attack..." Qingniao showed a thoughtful look on his face, "It seems that there are no spirits that are neutral or kind to humans..."

She looked at me again, "Does your time feel normal? Do you have the feeling that you can't tell how long has passed since you entered a different space?"

I calculated it in my mind, and then replied: "Probably more than 40 minutes have passed."

"I have been here for about an hour..." she said, "Fortunately, we are still normal. If something abnormal happens, we may not be able to guarantee the time to return to the real world."

After I heard it, I didn't know much about it.The general knowledge textbooks issued by the Security Bureau have a lot of content, which I can't master in a few days, and I know very general about different spaces.So at this time, I can only ask Qingniao, "Is the time flow in different spaces different from that in the real world?"

Hearing this, she seemed to have regained the feeling of being a good teacher again, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raised, and explained to me: "Actually... there is no concept of time and space in different dimensions."

"No time and no space?" I asked. "So what are we seeing now?"

"Strictly speaking, in the warlock's worldview, time and space are not the attributes of the world, but the attributes of human beings. Human rationality must perceive the real world in the form of time and space." She said, "This is becoming more and more stable. It is not easy to notice in the real world, but it will become very obvious in the unstable different space. If we are separated for a while in the different space and then meet again, maybe a few hours have passed on your side, but a few days have passed on my side ...and when we travel between the real world and different spaces, it may appear that a week has passed in the real world when we thought it was only one day."

What the blue bird said reminded me of the legends that have been handed down from ancient times to the present.

In the Jin Dynasty, there was a woodcutter who went into a certain mountain while he was cutting firewood, and saw someone playing chess in the mountain. He stopped and watched for a long time, so that he even forgot the passage of time; At that time, I found that the wooden handle of my ax was rotten, and when I returned home, I found that people of my generation had also passed away.People in later generations named this allusion "Lanke" to describe the passage of time.

"Wouldn't this inaccuracy happen if our sense of time wasn't chaotic?" I asked.

"At least the error will be reduced to a small amount." She said, "Conversely, if our time feels completely chaotic, not only cannot return to the real world at the correct time, but it will also be difficult for other people who are also in a different space. Encountered...the worst situation is when you return to the real world, you enter the 'non-existent time', for example, July [-]th, thirty o'clock in the evening...it will be very difficult to return gone."

"So... what if I have a mobile phone?" I took out my own mobile phone, "The time on the mobile phone should not be wrong, right?"

"The timing tool can anchor your sense of time, but don't believe it too much, especially when your own sense of time is messed up to a certain extent." She warned, "And the phone is not always powered...By the way By the way, I'm not fine enough to charge a phone with my own current."

Although we have been discussing the predicament since just now, and there is no solution to the predicament, we don't mean to mess up.

According to Jade Bird, human rationality cannot think about any matter without time and space.The cruel thing is that there are too many problems in the hidden world that cannot be solved by reason that cannot go beyond this kind of limitation.Whether I am a blue bird or not, I am no longer a newcomer to the hidden world, and it is not the first time I have encountered such an unimaginable hidden event.

If you want to talk about anxiety and fear, there must be some, and there are many.But now it is necessary to suppress it and calmly find a breakthrough.

I believe that the blue bird has the same idea.That being the case, I can't show my timidity in front of her.

"It would be great if Xiaocao was here." She said with emotion, "She has specialized in the knowledge of different spaces before, and she is much better than me in this area. Maybe she knows how to find the exit here."

"That psychoanalyst still has this skill?" I was surprised.

"She said she didn't like to sit in an office, but because she lacked the fighting power to be active in the front line, she had to work as a house warlock." She said.

Although she regretted that Qiao Gancao was not there, there was nothing more coincidental than this.

Maybe Qingniao was really favored by some kind of luck, and I, who was by her side, was also blessed.Not long after we mentioned Qiao Licorice, Qiao Licorice actually appeared in front of us.

Just as we were about to leave the corridor of the Western-style building, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a life-size mirror at the end of the corridor.The mirror reflects the scene on our side, but there is something that our side does not have - a female figure, she is running towards this side quickly.

I immediately became alert, and found that the figure seemed to be someone I knew.And that figure directly hit the mirror, smashing it to pieces.

She came to our side from the side of the mirror, and at the same time transformed from an illusory mirror image into a real substance.

It sounded like a handsome debut, but the figure couldn't control its balance as soon as it hit the ground, and fell face-to-face.The moment her face hit the ground, even her handsomeness was smashed to pieces, making me feel like a fool for being so on guard.

Qingniao saw the figure clearly, and read out her nickname in surprise, "Xiaocao?"

Qiao Gancao groaned in pain and covered her nose, stood up staggeringly, and waved at the blue bird, "Yes, it's me..."

Blue Bird and I looked at each other, then approached cautiously.

Although it was a good thing that Qiao Licorice came, but her arrival was too coincidental.It may be a demon in disguise, so it must be checked first.

It is said to be an inspection, but it is actually asking her some questions, and at the same time using her awareness as much as possible to see if she shows any abnormalities.Awareness is the most basic tool of a warlock, and it is also the most reliable tool. All the powers of a warlock are based on awareness.Even my combat-specialized awareness can detect the slightest malice and hostility from the subject during the conversation.Actually, Jade Bird and I checked each other in this way.

But everything in the world is unique, since there is the power of awareness, of course there is also the power of concealment.If the object is a spirit that symbolizes the hidden side of nature, sometimes the perception will fail.But at the level of me and Qingniao, most demons will have nowhere to hide.

Soon, both Jade Bird and I came to a conclusion.

is the real thing.

"Do you believe me now?" Qiao Licao heaved a sigh of relief.

"I believe it, I believe it. I'm sorry, I was still doubting you just now." Qingniao grabbed Qiao Licorice's hand to comfort her, "But why did you come to such a dangerous place?"

"The Security Bureau found through the monitoring in the city that you entered a different space while fighting the enemy, and you didn't come out after two hours... So I wonder if you can't come out." Qiao Gancao said, "At that time I happen to be near there, so I'm in charge of coming to support."

"Two hours... My time feels that there is still an error, but it's not too big." Qingniao said, "Did no one else come with you?"

"There will be, but I can't wait." Joe Licorice said helplessly, "The entrance has only been closed for a while, so I can use general ritual spells to open it again, but if you delay for a while, the entrance will disappear completely. Even I can't get in."

I reminded: "There are many demons in this different space, you have to be careful."

"What!" Qiao Gancao almost hugged her when she heard it.

I was also surprised by her reaction. Normally, when someone hears that there are demons nearby, they will rely on the perverted killer around them?Isn't the main level law enforcement warlock next to him better?Is it because I saved her from Old Bones last time?
"You said that if you delay it, you won't be able to get in... Couldn't anyone else in the Security Bureau do it too?" I asked.

Hearing this, Qiao Gancao thought for a while, and then said: "Of course there are no entrances... because this different space is not in Liucheng at all. The positional relationship is established only in the same space coordinate system. Space is already another coordinate system independent of the real world, and only its entrance can be located in the real world. If the entrance disappears and you want to enter this different space again... you can only find the person who opened the entrance. "

"That is to say, is this a naturally formed different space?" Qingniao said, "The middleman actually knows how to enter this different space... He really has a problem."

"Okay, I'm going to find the exit." Qiao Gancao took out a palm-sized black metal dial from his arms, with a large number of red runes painted on it, some of which looked like a Taoist compass, which made people feel a strong religious style.

Her eyes fell on me, and her voice trembled a little, "You have to protect me well."

"So why didn't you say it to me, but to Li Duo..." Qingniao asked in amazement.

"You have to protect me too!" Qiao Licao emphasized.

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and concentrated on observing the dial.

After a while, she picked a direction and started moving.

I feel like a feng shui master looking for dragons and acupuncture points... I had this feeling, and I followed her with Qingniao, while paying attention to the surrounding movements.

On the way, we encountered some demons from time to time.But under the protection of me and the blue bird, the devil can't invade Qiao Licao's side at all.Qiao Gancao would sometimes be distracted and raise her head in fear to look at the rushing demon, but after many times, she felt relieved and concentrated on finding the exit of the different space.

Soon, she found the "key" that could help us leave this different space.
