Chapter 505 The Real Devil
Clay looked calmly at Huang Banxian, who was slowly collapsing on the ground and not far from death, without any ripples in his heart.
Then he turned his head to look at the other two corpses and was about to leave.
But the body that had just moved stopped immediately, and his face changed as he looked at Huang Banxian, who was dying on the ground.
At this moment, the body that was stabbed in the heart turned into ashes in the blink of an eye and slowly blew away with the wind.
Clay immediately realized that something was wrong, and before the look of surprise had dissipated, he turned around and was about to run away.
But his body was like a rigid gear, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all.
The ashes on the ground were all scattered, and a pale face appeared in the passage from which he came, accompanied by a few low coughs.
"The Emperor of the South Sea is Shu, the Emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the Emperor of the Central Sea is Hun Dun...
Shu Hu is a word that describes the passage of time, but it is also the name of a god."
Huang Banxian's face, which is a little older, appeared in front of Clayde, and his eyes, which were as calm as water under his eyebrows, were full of calmness.
Clayde narrowed his eyes and struggled with his limbs again. He clearly felt that there was a force of time permeating his body, freezing it.
He finally saw an ancient black jade pendant hanging under Huang Banxian's open collar.
"So you have a time-bound sin object, and no one in the entire ninth branch knows it!
When did you suspect me?"
Huang Banxian tied his Taoist robe, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his thin face. After washing away the playfulness, his temperament was refreshed.
"You disguised yourself very well, but the details are a little off.
Xiao Kezi likes to smack his lips when he eats. I've told him many times.
But you didn't do that just now. I think you were multitasking, thinking about how to kill me.
Your second personality pretends to be your real self, so you must have some plan.
So I'll use the substitute talisman to go with you to see."
Huang Banxian stood in front of Clayde, feeling the trembling of his body, and smiled dumbly:
"Don't struggle, the Jade of Suddenness can make the passage of time move with my heart.
Your every move has been slowed down by me by hundreds of millions of times, which is almost equal to stillness."
Clayde looked at the face that was obviously getting older and older, and sneered:
"Such a terrible time sin, the longer the time, the heavier your price. What do you want to pay such a high price?"
Huang Banxian's eyes, which were not big to begin with, were almost buried by the increasingly deep wrinkles, but the brilliance inside was particularly bright.
"I want to know everything you know!"
...
"Space map..."
Huang Banxian looked at Clayde in front of him, and these three words appeared silently in his heart.
Under the control of time, Clyde can only tell everything he knows.
About the truth of the entire maze barrier.
The area of this maze was not large, but with the entry of living people, the time and space systems began to play a role.
The living people were divided into an unknown number of individuals by the time axis, and the area of the maze began to increase to an equal number.
A circular area connected to three forks, representing three directions of expansion.
To explain it figuratively, the circular area is like the trunk of a tree, and the forks are the branches that grow out, and then countless branches split from the branches.
There are as many circular areas as there are living people.
Each clerk on the timeline corresponds to a circular area.
Once the people inside die, the circular area will disappear, and the branches and vines connected to it will also die.
This is the fundamental reason for the large-scale disappearance of the entire maze.
The death of the clerk was caused by two parties.
One is the ghost, and the other is the unknown hunter.
The hunter is not the origin of death, he is just a breaker who follows the rules of the maze.
Ghosts are the origin of killing.
But according to Clyde, he met seven of himself in succession, but only got a weird answer.
All the ghosts chasing the living were actually the ghosts of the shop assistants!
This made Clyde very strange, but it was not difficult to explain.
Among the living people in many timelines, one of them could not bear the pressure, died first and turned into a ghost, becoming the first ghost in the maze.
And this ghost began to wander around in various circular areas, wandering in the maze, and constantly promoting new ghosts.
However, ghosts killing people will not cause the maze to disappear, only living people can.
From what Clyde said, after he killed seven of himself, those disappeared areas were automatically drawn into space maps in his mind.
Of course, he only killed seven people, so his space map was only seven.
And the complete space map should be dozens or even hundreds of times larger than this.
This is the truth of the maze barrier. It is very complicated to say, but it is very simple once the essence is understood.
Now in this maze, there are four forces intertwined with each other.
The ghosts in the maze are the transformed ghosts of the shop assistants.
Unknown hunters who killed the most people, occupied the most space, and had a nearly complete space map.
Whether it was Huang Banxian or Clay, they were already the lowest-level players.
As for the "space map", Huang Banxian previously thought that it was just a fictitious information in his mind.
But from Clay's description, it should be a sin object.
And it is an extremely rare and powerful space sin object.
Whoever can kill more people, destroy more space, and complete his space map can find a way out, and at the same time, he will have this powerful space sin object.
Looking at Huang Banxian who was deep in thought, Clyde suddenly smiled softly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't waste time, the hunter must be someone from the seventh branch, maybe Ji Li.
We no longer have the chance to compete for the space map, but we must ensure that we have a part of the space map in our hands.
Otherwise, we are not qualified to walk out of the maze with him."
Huang Banxian looked at Clyde and did not answer, but nodded in his heart.
The hunter's advantage is too great, and this sin is destined to be out of the fight.
So now for him, there are two most important things.
First: find the last self in time, at least let the real self go out alive;
Second: at least have a part of the space map and wait for the maze to shrink to the final area, so that he can cooperate with the hunter to leave this place.
At this moment, all the hair of Huang Banxian has turned white, and the muscles on his face have relaxed. He has aged twenty years in a few minutes.
Clyde looked at him like this, and finally sighed, unwillingly saying:
"I didn't expect you to have the time-related sin object, which made me fail miserably.
But although I am dead, the real Clyde may not be dead yet. If he is alive, I should be alive too."
Huang Banxian slowly turned around, picked up the dagger on the ground, and returned to Clyde.
Clyde was stilled by the sudden jade, and could only watch the knife pierce his heart.
But at the moment before he died, he looked at Huang Banxian's face and said a sentence:
"Hide the time-related sin object, don't let everyone know, especially Gu Xingjian.
He gave me the square mirror sin object, and he was the one who caused my split.
Gu Xingjian is not our teammate, he is the real devil..."
