Chapter 682 Night of Roaring and Wailing (Please Vote for Me)

Tundra, heavy snowfall.

It's as cold as ever here.

But there are also some places that are different from the past. During this period, the [Snow Cage], which had been silent all year round, became very "lively". More than a dozen energy boats crossed the boundaries of Beizhou and hovered in this prison. over the sky.

The traveler smashed through the iron walls of the tundra prison.

This is the most dangerous prison in Eastern Continent, where a large number of high-risk extraordinary people and out-of-control people are imprisoned... The broken iron walls are no small matter.

This time the [Snow Cage] shattered, originating from Beizhou.

In order to express her apology, Her Majesty the Queen sent Grand Duke Zhuxue to rush to the tundra with the extraordinary people from Beizhou to assist the five families in building this prison... Most things in the world are easy to destroy and difficult to repair.

The leaders of this repair plan are the Grand Duke of Zhuxue, Lin Silk, and the young master of the Gu family, Gu Nanfeng. The two of them initially estimated that although these iron walls were broken, it was only at the moment when the travelers collided that they wanted to perfect them. "Building" will take at least a year.

The reason is that when the travelers tried to pull out the "Sky Sheath", they brought out a lot of fragments!

The "Sword in the Stone" is the key artifact that suppresses the entire snow cage. The power it emits can weaken the fluctuations of the extraordinary source... causing the prisoners in the center of the prison to gradually lose control of the source.

In other words.

The sky sheath itself is equivalent to a "purification field", and all extraordinary powers will be stripped away by it... For extraordinary people, nothing is a more terrifying prison than this.

Imprisoning fourth-level extraordinary people near the Sky Sheath is equivalent to turning them into "ordinary people".

But the traveler's "drawing the sword" caused the sheath to begin to break... Those "fragments" that could suppress the extraordinary fluctuations were scattered all over the place. If you want to rebuild, you must be very careful.

On the one hand, beware of those powerful prison inmates.

On the other hand, you must avoid being stabbed by the "sky sheath fragments" and losing your extraordinary power.

When the traveler drew his sword, fragments flew out and penetrated the human body, directly causing "death"... There were also some "lucky" prisoners who did not die, but began to lose weight due to negative distance contact with the "sky sheath" my ability.

They are imprisoned here because there is still some value left.

The spirit of the extraordinary can link to the "deep water zone" and contribute part of the computing power to the upgrade and evolution of the [deep sea]. The East Continent Council has the power to control and allocate the final destination of this part of the computing power... These powerful extraordinary criminals gather in Together, the power provided will become a "valuable" spiritual property.

But once you lose your ability.

The ultimate value will also be taken away.

They will be kicked out of the [Snow Cage], retried, and sentenced again according to the charges after the trial.

After the Traveler incident, the number of criminals in the core area of ​​​​Tiansheath has been reduced unknowingly.

…

…

Tundra Prison, a temporary base was set up not far away.

The Five Great Families and the extraordinary beings from Beizhou lived here after construction. A certain wealthy prince named Lin from Central City selflessly brought the latest invention of the Underground Research Institute, a portable heating powered by a "furnace" equipment.

This set of equipment can deliver temperature to the entire temporary base.

With this set of equipment, the construction quality of Wujia and Beizhou can be well guaranteed.

It is precisely because of this that Tsukauki can stay in a place with difficult conditions like the tundra for more than half a year.

Before the "Heaven Sheath" was broken, he happened to be traveling with Gu Nanfeng to the Tundra Prison to try to decipher the ancient texts on the "Heaven Sheath"... After the prison was broken, the Sky Sheath area was sealed off, so he simply stayed here.

Gu Nanfeng gave him sufficient authority.

Zhonggui can freely enter and leave the prison and investigate the core area of ​​"Sky Sheath" at any time... But Gu Nanfeng has one requirement, that is, he cannot act alone. Every time he enters the core area, he needs to be protected by the Gu family's transcendent. .

There is no other reason.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Tsukauki.

But he... is simply too weak.

Xing Yun, the ghost of the tomb, was born unknown, and his extraordinary strength belongs to the weakest among weaklings. In addition to his own "vehicle killer" passive, he was also troubled by a lot of unlucky things all day long. This time he was able to reach the tundra safely. The prison is already a miracle.

If the Tomb Ghost acted alone, Gu Nanfeng was worried that under the trend of unknown disaster, the unlucky guy would directly encounter an "accident".

Most of half a year.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Gu Nanfeng takes good care of the ghost.

Gu Nanfeng is different from those in power who previously captured the ghost ghost——

He does not regard Tsuka Oni as a "tool", nor does he see Tsuka Oni's so-called "translation talent". The reason why he gives these privileges... is just because, in the long process of getting along with him, he sees Tsuka Oni. Some unknown "characteristics", this is a "poor man" who carefully allows himself to survive, struggling to breathe in the cracks of fate. What is valuable is that he can retain a "kindness" despite experiencing misfortune.

Gu Nanfeng was willing to pay something for the "goodwill" in Zhonggui's heart.

He is the young master of the Gu family.

Protecting his "friends" is naturally what the young man should do.

…

…

Tonight is a blizzard night.

Snow is howling outside the window, and even though there is a "smelting furnace" to provide warmth, Xing Yun inside the house is still wrapped in a big coat.

He had been sitting there for a long time, and now looking at the dense drawings on the desk, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his mind...

During this time, there seemed to be something strange in his "spiritual sea", and from time to time there was a sharp force that impacted his mind.

He can't stay up late.

Otherwise, the head will feel like being pierced by thousands of fine needles, causing a splitting headache that cannot be relieved.

"It's time to rest..."

Tsukauki rubbed his brows, yawned loudly, lay down on the bed, and pulled up the quilt.

The moment I close my eyes.

In the darkness, a ray of light seemed to light up.

【"Owner!"】

He seemed to have returned to the scene half a year ago, where the giant knelt on one knee and tried his best to pull out the sword in the stone that reached the sky, but ultimately failed.

Countless blood was thrown from high altitude.

That roar was incomprehensible to outsiders.

He understood.

["Pull it out..."]

The giant's head cracked, and huge power poured down. It hit the sky sheath with its forehead. This scene was extremely tragic and tragic. Every time it hit, the Tsuka Oni felt that his heart was being beaten by a giant drum.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the darkness, the man lying on the bed curled up like a shrimp.

The same was true for him in the dream... His body was so small that he wished he could squeeze himself into the cracks in the world. He didn't dare to look at the majestic and bleeding giant, but no matter how hard he hid, he couldn't avoid the sky-shattering force. roar.

"Pull it out!"

A hoarse voice sounded in the dark room.

Tsukasa sat up suddenly, his whole body soaked with cold sweat. He raised his hands in disbelief, and looked at his palms... He was still in the alternation between dream and reality, and was not fully awake.

But the lingering echo in his ears made him feel dazed.

Did you just shout out?

"Dong dong..."

A gentle knock on the door sounded outside the house, responding to his confusion.

"Mr. Xing Yun, what happened?"

It was the extraordinary being sent by the Gu family to watch over him and take care of his safety.

Gu Nanfeng specifically told the extraordinary people of the Gu family to stay with them at all times and look after the ghosts in order to avoid accidents.

"Nothing...just had a nightmare..."

Tsukauki leaned on the back of the bed, his lips were dry. He trembled with his hands, trying to make a fist, but he couldn't even close his hands in the simplest way.

Why do I keep having this dream?

With such weak hands, they can only turn over drawings and write ancient prose...

Draw the sword, pull out the sword from the stone?

Ridiculous, ridiculous, grotesque.

After this nightmare, he could no longer close his eyes and tossed and turned without rest.

In the silent room, Tsukauki could even hear his own violent heartbeat born of fear...

He stood up and put on his thick coat and another layer of coat, opened the door and asked softly: "I want to go out for a walk, is that okay?"

The person keeping vigil tonight is a young member of the Gu family.

The night watchman said respectfully: "Mr. Xing Yun, are you going to the core area of ​​Tianshe? Please wait for a moment, I will report to Master Luo Yu."

"Just going out for a walk..."

Zhonggui smiled helplessly: "It's so late, there's no need to disturb Luo Yu."

The night watchman looked at the time, thought for a moment, and said politely: "If you just go out for a walk, then I will accompany you."

"That would be troublesome."

Tsukauki gathered his coat.

He walked into the snow alone. He originally wanted to say a few words to the night watchman of the Gu family, but the young man abided by his work responsibilities. After the ghost went out, he just followed him from a distance and remained quite free. The distance... He is the translator of ancient texts in the core area of ​​​​Tiansheath. He spends most of his time thinking, and the extraordinary beings of the Gu family are used to giving him peace.

The ghost can only walk alone under the iron wall.

Countless pieces of snow were flying in the night sky, and those extraordinary beings in Beizhou were resting in the energy boats at night... The airships were hovering outside the prison, with the lights extinguished, and they looked particularly cold.

In the entire [Snow Cage], the only thing that is lit is the "Sword in the Stone" in the core area.

The sword in the stone towers into the sky.

As its name suggests, "Heavenly Scabbard", this stone scabbard is like a "lighthouse reaching the sky", its surface reflecting the pale snow light.

The ghost of the tomb did not enter the core area of ​​​​the sky sheath...

He just looked at the Sword in the Stone from a distance, recalling his previous nightmare in his mind.

At this moment, there were other people looking at him.

…

…

The tower of the Tundra Prison was silent.

Two figures stood silently in the moonlight at the top of the tower.

Mr. Ghost, Mr. Snow.

These two titles are responsible for guarding the entire [Snow Cage]. They will not show up on weekdays, but their mental power completely covers the entire prison... Of course, except for the "Heaven Sheath Core Area", the kind of weakening source quality fluctuations Even they will not easily enter this disaster place.

"It's so late, and there are still people walking outside the iron wall..."

Mr. Ghost was attracted by this breath and came out.

He stood on the high tower, looked at the figure of the Tsuka ghost, and frowned slightly.

"Does he want to observe the ancient texts in the 'Heavenly Sheath Core Area'?"

Mr. Snow was also attracted.

The two titles naturally knew the special identity of Zhong Gui. This was the "translator" specially invited by Gu Nanfeng. However, this person was surrounded by an unknown person, and both Gui Xue and Gui Xue could see this unknown... Most of the time, No contact will be made with it.

"Recently, the spiritual aura of the 'Heavenly Sheath Core Area' has fluctuated greatly. I often feel uneasy."

Mr. Ghost whispered: "I suspect that the previous 'Sky Sheath Rupture' has weakened the 'restrictive force' in the core area... There may be some high-risk criminals who have recovered their strength and are hiding their strength."

"I have a bad feeling too."

Mr. Xue narrowed his eyes: "I think it's best not to get close to the Sky Sheath in the near future. If he advances further, I will step in to stop him."

The two of them observed the Tsuka ghost silently.

It's just that... Tsukauki didn't go to the "Heaven Sheath Core Area". He just walked around the outside of the iron wall to let the chaotic thoughts in his heart disperse... When he felt better, he was ready to leave and return to the house.

After all, there is a night watchman behind him.

There is really no need for me to go out at night and torment the night watchers.

Looking at the return path of the Tomb Ghost, the night watchman asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xing Yun, are you going back now?"

"Well, I'm back."

Zhonggui said sincerely: "It's so late, thank you for your hard work."

His words made the night watcher scratch his head and feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, over the years, the entire Gu family has had a bad opinion of the "Tomb Ghosts". This was mainly due to the previous head of the new sect, Gu Lu Shen. A long time ago, because of the Tomb Clearance Act, the Tomb Ghosts offended the extraordinary beings of both factions of the Gu family. !

But now that the Young Master is in power, despite the opposition of the Presbyterian Council, he has reactivated the Tsukauki.

Everyone in the Gu family slowly discovered that the tomb ghost was not as unbearable as Gu Lushen said... He had helped a lot over the years, and when the useless Qingtong Cemetery gradually came into play, everyone began to pay attention to it. His impression gradually improved.

The ghost of Tsukasa finally stopped, looking at the towering sky sheath, thinking about that dream, with mixed feelings in his heart.

His fingers silently made a clasping gesture in his sleeves. They were as weak as ever... I'm afraid it would be difficult to even lift a chicken.

Draw your sword...

Can a thousand of me pull this thing up?

Tsukasa smiled to himself.

What the giant said to himself... was simply a joke.

He turned and left.

The next moment, a sudden loud noise came without warning!

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the sky, majestic blazing light fell from the sky and swept across the earth. Rolling shock waves swept over immediately. Tsukauki stumbled. He turned his head with great difficulty, trying to see what was happening clearly, but failed. I found that my vision was instantly covered by a silvery white.

Billions of dancing lightnings descended in the blizzard!

The expressions of Gui Xue and Gui Xue, who were standing on the high tower, suddenly turned pale.

There was no warning.

There is no defense...

The Sword in the Stone, the Sky Sheath, suddenly exploded in the middle of a blizzard night. This was a more violent shock than the last time the "Traveler" drew his sword. Hundreds of thousands of debris sputtered out, penetrating the new The iron wall was built, and several of the huge sky sheath stone pillars shot directly through the prison specially made of strong logic materials... This was an unreasonable disaster. The explosion of the sky sheath was like the "massacre" carried out by the devil in the core area of ​​the snow cage. , the criminal who was penetrated by the stone pillar died on the spot.

This blizzard night made the prison white, but soon blood seeped into the iron walls.

and cracks.

"Kachacha..."

The iron wall used to imprison the top runaways was completely shattered by the piercing bombardment of the Sky Sheath, and large holes one after another gradually emerged in the night along with blizzards, blood, and gunpowder smoke.

Also emerging in the dark night were deep, skinny figures.

…

…

After the loud noise.

Tsukauki's pupils shrank to the extreme. He wanted to scream and roar, but all the sounds disappeared.

He stared blankly at the shy and gentle night watchman in front of him. Before he could even ask the young man's name... a sharp sheath stone pillar penetrated the night watchman's chest and nailed him to the ground. .

At the moment of explosion.

The young man opened his arms and made a gesture of throwing himself down... But the disaster came too quickly. Before he could jump forward, he was shot by a stone pillar, and a large amount of blood poured down, sprinkling the Tomb Demon's face.

The blood is still warm.

Countless broken crystal fragments, following the explosion, pierced into Tsukaki's limbs. At this moment, he seemed to feel no pain, and all he could see was the nameless night watchman who still had a smile on his face when he was about to die.

"Mr. Xing Yun..."

The young man's voice was trembling.

He squeezed out an incomprehensible word from his chest.

"You're actually... pretty good..."

This was not what a dead person should say, nor was he trying to be pretentious, but the explosion came too suddenly.

This was what he wanted to say a few seconds ago. Now that his life was taken away in an instant, he had no time to think about it and could only say these dry, slightly warm words.

Tsukauki tried to raise his hand, but his unsatisfactory fingers were shaking violently.

He couldn't reach the young man's cheek.

In the end, there was just a very light hissing sound in his ear.

"pain……"

Tsukasa wanted to say something, but this young man's life had withered away, and death came faster than pain.

"I……"

His mind went blank.

Did this young man die because he was protecting himself, or because...

Self-brought misfortune?

"……boom!"

A feeling of weightlessness came, and the ghost fell heavily to the ground like a sandbag.

He looked up at the blurry snowy night, and the cold blizzard slapped his cheeks. At this moment, he could no longer tell whether the warm liquid on his face was tears or blood.

After living for so many years, of all the scenes he has experienced in this life, there has never been one scene as impactful as this moment, making him feel powerless and weak.

He has never hated fate so much, and he has never hated the unknown surrounding himself so much.

"ah……"

He roared in pain, like a wild beast, wanting to vent all his grievances, all his guilt, and all his anger.

It's a pity... fate never listens to the voice of the weak.

In the blizzard night, the roar of the Tsuka Oni sounded more like whimpering and wailing.
