Section 2462 A Dangerous Balance

Because of the mysterious resonance that Angel suddenly began, the minds of both parties on the field began to undergo a wonderful change.

The inspector was both surprised and happy. While continuing to lock on to the mysterious fruit, he also paid half of his attention to Angel.

On the other side, Poloye seemed to be attracted by the mysterious fruit, but under the order of the city lord, he actually focused 90% of his attention on Angel.

Obviously, they paid a lot of attention to Angel, but for various reasons, they did not dare to show it directly.

For a while, the atmosphere was slightly weird.

However, this weird atmosphere did not last too long, and what broke the atmosphere was the disordered progress of the mysterious fruit.

96%!

Although they all paid some attention to the progress of the mysterious fruit, they did not expect that the last 5% would cause such a high-intensity qualitative change.

When the cracks in the fruit shell reached 95%, although they could feel that the attraction had stepped up, they did not have much pressure due to the manipulation of the law.

However, it was only from 95% to 96%, only one percentage point higher, and a terrifying change occurred.

The attraction suddenly increased by more than double!

This 1% progress is much greater than the previous 0% to 95% improvement!

This is a result that neither the Inspector nor Poloye expected! Their focus was originally on Angel, but at this moment, under the situation of a sharp increase in attraction, they had to withdraw their attention and resist this terrifying attraction with all their strength.

When they each tried their best, the floating mind barely rejected the temptation of "outside".

But the temptation outside has not reached the upper limit.

From 96% to 100%, there are four more improvements in between. If each improvement doubles the previous situation, then no matter how strong they are, they can't resist the attraction of the mysterious fruit.

"Xu Luo! Lord City Lord, the current situation is a bit bad. If the attraction continues to increase, I'm afraid I can't bear it." Poloye said quickly in his heart: "Should we change the plan and evacuate first?"

"How to choose, you decide." Gruzdeward said lightly: "However, I will rate you for the next citizen assessment according to the degree of your completed tasks."

Whether to leave or stay, Poloye can choose freely. However, Poloye has only completed the task of capturing No. 01 at this time. The two higher priority tasks of capturing Angel alive and bringing back the disordered things have not been completed. It seems a bit uneconomical to evacuate like this.

Poloye pondered for a moment, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at the figure not far away: "Inspector, the attraction of the disordered things is getting stronger and stronger. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid it won't be too optimistic."

The inspector glanced at Poloye and didn't reply.

Poloye continued: "Even if you don't consider yourself, don't you consider the person next to you? Xiu Luo Xiu Luo? You protect him so much, he should be very important to you, right?"

Inspector: "You want to stay here, or you want to leave, it's up to you. My business has nothing to do with you."

In fact, without Poloye saying anything, the inspector himself was thinking about what to do next.

Originally, he thought this was a disordered thing that was not too difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that before the critical moment, the upper limit of disorder suddenly increased a lot. Although it has not exceeded his psychological expectations, if it continues like this, it only needs to be raised twice more, and even the inspector may find it difficult to deal with it.

So, the inspector has the intention to leave. However, he couldn't help thinking about another thing in his heart: Will the disordered thing really continue to raise the upper limit so regularly?

Disorder itself represents irregularity, and it is strange to raise the upper limit so regularly.

The inspector wants to continue to watch and observe how the disordered thing will improve next time.

Maybe, it will be directly disordered next time. After all, the 96% crack progress they are thinking about now is just an imagined number, not a regular expansion number.

It is also possible that 96% jumps directly to 100%.

On the other hand, Poloye judged from the expression and words and deeds of the Inspector that he had no intention of leaving.

Poloye originally thought that if the Inspector left, it could also leave. After all, its goal now prioritizes Angel, and it is not necessary to capture Angel alive in this place.

But the Inspector did not leave, which made Poloye a little uncomfortable.

It thought for a moment, and secretly sorted out its own foundation, and finally decided to stay with the Inspector for a while.

It believed that the Inspector's strength should be similar to its own. If it can't hold on, the Inspector will definitely not hold on. And the Inspector came from the Order Guild, and his judgment of disordered things was more accurate. If there were really unexpected events, he should have anticipated it in advance.

Since the Inspector did not leave, it should be a judgment after assessing the situation, so it would be okay to follow up once.

After making the decision, Poloye began to wait silently.

Waiting for new changes to occur on the scene.

This time the wait did not last long, and soon, the cracks on the fruit shell began to spread again.

The situation that the inspector expected to jump directly from 96% to 100% did not occur, and 97% arrived as expected.

They nervously waited for the attraction to change, but waited for one minute, two minutes... until five minutes later, they found that everything was normal, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The attraction did increase slightly, but it was not too much. It was only about 3% to 5% of the original total attraction, which was still within their resistance range.

If the next progress continued to increase by 5%, there would be no problem at all. Even if it suddenly doubled in the end, as long as they gritted their teeth, they could survive.

Thinking of this, the inspector and Poloye breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was too early for them to be happy.

When the cracks continued to spread and changed from 97% to 98%, an accident occurred.

At first, everything was normal, and the increase of 98% was not large, still only about 5%. However, soon a scene they did not expect appeared.

A fruit shell area with too many cracks suddenly... fell off!

In just a blink of an eye, the shells of that area all fell off. Revealing the inner flesh that was shining with red light and could not see the specific appearance.

The area where the shells fell accounted for about 30% of the entire fruit shell.

That is to say, 30% of the fruit has been exposed.

As the inside of the fruit was exposed, an extraordinary attraction instantly radiated the entire foggy sea.

To quantify it with numbers, the attraction at this time was more than twice as strong as before!

If it was doubled, the inspectors and Poloye might be able to deal with it, but it was instantly doubled, and they began to be unable to resist.

"Shu Luo" Poloye shouted, and his pink skin almost collapsed into the orange-red color of magma, and white steam began to appear on his smooth head, which was the evaporation of sweat.

Poloye almost used all his strength, and even mobilized all the energy stored in his heart core, and barely formed a balance with the current attraction.

Balance does not mean equality.

Attraction can maintain high intensity for a long time, but Poloye can't. The balance it maintains at this time is just a fragile illusion.

In this balance, it can't even move, and can't mobilize any other energy.

In other words, it is now no different from an octopus stand.

Poloye now understands the feelings of the wizards who did not leave in time, and he also regrets it. As early as 96% of the progress, he had the idea of ​​temporarily evacuating.

If it had persisted at that time, why would it end up like this!

It is just maintaining a dangerous balance at this time, and this balance can be broken at any time. Because it has reached its limit, and the attraction created by the mysterious fruit still has room for increase.

The shell of the mysterious fruit has not fallen completely. As long as a small piece falls, it will become the last blow to crush Poloye!

Poloye is really panicking now. He doesn't consider the completion of the task at this time. He just wants to leave now.

Leave here alive.

"My lord, my lord..." Resisting the terrifying attraction of the outside world, Poloye's weak heartbeat repeatedly murmured a respectful title.

Its direction is self-evident. Poloye is using the remaining strength to ask Gruzdeward for help.

Gruzdeward was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Hold on for a while, this strand of my thoughts needs some preparations to descend into the material world."

Gruzdeward did not refuse Poloye's request for help. After all, his thoughts were in Poloye's body. They were in a state of prosperity and decline.

Although Gruzdeward's thoughts would not affect the safety of the main body even if they fell, once the thoughts fell, the experience of the thoughts could not be passed on to the main body, and the main body would also suffer a certain amount of mental backlash, which would take at least several decades to recover.

Of course, you should save yourself if you can. Gruzdeward did not want to let the main body be damaged because of his inaction.

"If you can't hold on, you can go find the Inspector." Gruzdeward spoke again. He was in Poloye's body and knew Poloye's condition very well. According to Poloye's current situation, it would be difficult for him to hold on until he descended into the material world. So, he gave a suggestion.

Gruzdeward's words distracted Poloye from his thoughts and he looked in the direction of the Inspector.

This look made Poloye slightly absent-minded.

According to Poloye's thoughts, it should be not much different from the Inspector. It was almost unable to hold on, and the Inspector must be the same. However, the reality was completely the opposite.

The Inspector did not seem to be under much pressure, and even said that the Inspector seemed to be somewhat relaxed.

What was going on?

The moment Poloye was puzzled, he was distracted. The balance that was finally built was disturbed at this time.

The terrifying attraction, like waves that hit his thoughts, directly crossed the last line of defense and swept towards Poloye.

Poloye was like a person who had lost his footing on a small reef at this moment. The raging waves kept hitting and rolling back, and it was possible to knock him off the reef at any time.

When Poloye was absent-minded, a cool feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. This coolness directly extinguished the boiling and confused thoughts, not only allowing Poloye to regain his mind, but also calming him down.

"What are you still in a daze about?" Gruzdeward's voice came.

Poloye immediately understood that the coolness in his mind before should be the power of the city lord. After regaining a bit of rationality, it did not hesitate, turned around, and stepped on the void with its eight tentacles. It retreated quickly like a shock cannon.

This is the way Poloye moves. Under normal circumstances, one impact is enough to cross countless space and time distances. But now, under the influence of attraction, Poloye used the little remaining strength in his body, but only rushed out a few hundred meters.

It is enough to explain the difficulty of the scene.

However, this few hundred meters of movement is enough for Poloye. It is obviously unrealistic for it to move away from the range of attraction at this time.

Its only way to save itself is to reunite with the inspector. And this short-distance movement is enough for it to come to the inspector.

The inspector also saw the "red" Poloye approaching him quickly.

Although the inspector was not under great pressure at this time, he could still sense the difficulty of the external environment, and he could understand Poloye's intentions and thoughts.

However, whether to accept Poloye is the inspector's inner confusion.

With this question, the inspector did not look at Poloye, but turned to look at Angel on the side.
