Chapter 313 Crisis

After the people from the Defense Bureau finished talking with the monster, they turned and left, not realizing that Su Lun was eavesdropping.

Su Lun also walked out after they left, and now the situation in the whole world is becoming clearer and clearer.

The world is controlled by the Defense Bureau and Si Chen. Si Chen is responsible for the inner world, and the Defense Bureau is responsible for the outer world. The two cooperate with each other.

Su Lun looked up. There was no road in front of him. There was only a huge clock hanging in the sky. Standing at the numerical positions of the clock were more than 20 Si Chens. All of these Si Chens had their eyes closed. They did not look like living creatures at all. , only the last hour's position is a blank position.

He couldn't get close to those Si Chens, but from a distance he could tell that these Si Chens were definitely the gods of the world.

He didn't understand that Si Chen's strength could definitely control the two worlds inside and outside. There was no need to cooperate with the Defense Bureau unless the Defense Bureau had some ability to make them equal to Si Chen.

Su Lun looked around. This was the end. There was no way to leave except the way he came. The people from the Defense Bureau just disappeared directly, but he would not disappear directly and leave.

"Why am I here?"

Su Lun silently thought to himself that he did not come to this place on his own initiative, and this was not a dream. What brought him here was the deep sea power in his body, but he did not understand why the deep sea power brought him here.

He looked up at the twenty-three Si Chens. Among them, the master of the deep sea power, Si Chen, also known as Nut, was at seven o'clock.

Perhaps because Su Lun glanced at Nut, he suddenly felt that the power in his body began to resonate.

He heard a sound coming from the deep sea and at the same time lost consciousness and passed out.

When he woke up, he found that he was back in his bed, and there was another piece of information in his mind.

Summoning ritual, the summoning ritual appeared in his mind. This was a ritual to call Si Chen. He had to prepare the ritual so that Si Chen could come to this surface world.

This ritual was obviously given to him by a certain Si Chen, but he didn't know what the purpose was.

The ritual is very detailed, including texture engraving, material preparation, and scenes. As long as you follow the ritual exactly, you will be able to complete the summoning ritual and let a Si Chen come to this watch world.

The ritual does not specify the Si Chen to be summoned, so any Si Chen can be summoned.

Su Lun had been looking for a way to summon Si Chen, but now that the summoning method suddenly came into his hands, he began to doubt it.

Why did Si Chen give him a summoning ritual? He didn't believe there was anything worthy of Si Chen's fancy.

The summoning ritual instead reminded Su Lun of those weird believers. Those madmen who could not communicate would perform various rituals, including the summoning ritual, but no one had recorded the summoning ritual so far.

Moreover, Si Chen and the Defense Bureau should only cooperate on the surface, and secretly fight for their respective strengths, otherwise the summoning ritual would be completely useless.

Su Lun recalled the summoning ritual in his mind. He was glad that he did not become a madman like those believers, but he did not intend to use this summoning ritual.

When nothing is clear, using this summoning ritual rashly will only cause problems. Once those Si Chen appear in reality, they will definitely not just go shopping.

He got up from the bed. It was already dawn, and the world was still as peaceful as before.

It could be said that it was an accident to go to the spiritual world before, but he had a hunch that there would be an opportunity to enter next.

Su Lun recalled the ritual in his mind. Although he did not plan to use the summoning ritual, he wanted to study the ritual carefully and maybe find something useful from it.

The information he received from Si Chen contained the complete ritual, including various understandings of the ritual. Now he can be said to know the ritual well.

The so-called ritual is to use loopholes in the rules of the world to do things that cannot be done in the outer world. The invisible art also uses this power.

Si Chen is one of the most powerful people in exploiting loopholes in the rules. They have been looking for loopholes for a long time. These loopholes are manifested in various monsters in the other world, including all kinds of weird situations.

They looked for patterns from the monsters in these other worlds, and finally became Si Chen who controlled the world.

Although the information Su Lun received said so, it could not explain why Si Chen was trapped in the other world. However, these were small things. The most important thing was that he found a way to exploit the loopholes in the rules.

Su Lun has traveled through several worlds and has his own understanding of each world. Now through the ritual, he understands that it is not difficult to exploit the loopholes in the world.

He started a small experiment, starting from the other world.

The other world is the source of the loopholes in the world, and the ritual takes advantage of this loophole, so Su Lun wants to create an area in the other world to conduct experiments.

Su Lun took out a piece of paper, stretched out his arm, and a strange vine stretched out from his hand.

He cut off a small section of the vine and placed it on the paper. Although the vine grew from his body, it would not have any impact on him after being cut off.

The vines on his hands are invisible in the outside world because they are invisible things in the inner world.

Intangible things would cause the inner world to continue to spread, and it didn't take long for a small inner world area to be formed. However, this inner world slowly stopped expanding. Unless the vines affected the surroundings, the scope of the inner world would reach So far.

This just met Su Lun's requirements. The test he wanted to conduct did not need to be too large in scope.

I saw him once again carving out a brand new ritual around the other world, a ritual that could make the other world unstable.

He had just invented this ritual, and we still have to take a look at its specific effects to find out.

Just as he thought, the other world began to shake continuously, and a crack opened in the middle of the other world. There was nothing in the crack, but it began to twist around the crack.

The surrounding environment began to change because of this crack, and the changing situation could be controlled by him.

Although this couldn't change anything, he could understand the whole world through this change at that time.

He can use this method to gain the power to control the world. He is equivalent to testing the security of the entire world and can exploit it whenever he finds a loophole.

All existing invisible arts and rituals are generated from loopholes. The more loopholes you master, the stronger your strength will be, and you can even become a god-like existence.

Su Lun looked at the small crack and sneered. The use of the loophole in the world is not to perform invisible arts, but to transform oneself and even become a god.

His eyes are extremely hot, and he wants to use the loopholes of the world to transform himself.

Su Lun locked the door and started his plan. As long as the plan was successful, he could even rival Si Chen.

…

On the pier of the city of Gotti.

Lin Yun returned to the dock and happened to see trucks escorting weapons driving into the dock one after another. The porters, about fifty people in groups, quickly loaded the goods onto the truck while scanning the rooftops at the harbor.

Then the trucks drove away one after another, and dispersed as soon as they left the dock. Each truck carried about twenty soldiers. The first truck drove to the east, the second to the southwest, and the third to the north. , and so on.

Those are all people from the Defense Bureau, and something big is going to happen now.

"Is there any news about the monster?" Lin Yun asked the person next to him.

The man nodded to him solemnly and pointed. Lin Yun looked through the crowd and boxes of weapons.

Just at the edge of the pier, a canvas body bag lay flat, with legs and neck tied tightly. After a while, a white van arrived, loaded the body into the car and drove away, followed by a Coast Guard car escort.

Not long after, the last truck on the dock roared to life. The car turned around, stopped, the screeching sound of the gearbox accompanied by the screech of seagulls, and backed toward the crates. A navy soldier jumped out of the car and opened the trunk door. The few remaining soldiers began to advance in single file, each carrying a Browning automatic rifle, and most still had pistols in their holsters. A warrant officer waited on the dock, watching the soldiers gather at the gangplank to board the ship.

They left the crowd and found a Defense Bureau truck. It was a two-ton flatbed trailer with a hammer body and steel railings, and a waterproof canvas covering it. They jumped into the front seat, Lin Yun shifted the gearbox to first gear, and drove unsteadily onto 19th Street.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled over on Route 41. There was a forest there. The longleaf pines in it were so tall that Lin Yun had never imagined that the trees could grow that high. There were also some low shrubs and swamp pines, and the bottom layer was densely packed with dwarf palms, raspberries and low beams. Judging by the smell, he guessed there was a swamp to the east. The tree next to her had been blown down by a recent storm.

Lin Yun looked through the windshield. She could hear her breathing even before she got out of the car.

There is an armory here, just outside the city of Gauti. Surrounded by a forest, the citrus groves, pond cedar wetlands, and fields scattered above were all dried up and brittle by the sun, waiting to catch fire at any time, turning the entire place into a smoky black.

There were two guards guarding the gate, one with a pistol and the other with an automatic rifle.

The guard with the pistol was thin and tall, with short dark hair that stood up like a spike, and his cheeks were sunken like a very old man, or a young man with rotten teeth.

"Are you the ones whose boat was blown up?" His teeth were just as Lin Yun had guessed before. They were gray and crooked, and some of them were crooked inward, like tombstones in a flooded cemetery.

Lin Yun nodded. "A big hole was blown out of the hull."

One of her previous missions encountered a shipwreck, and now she was sent to get weapons. She knew how to use the armory. It was obvious that something big was going to happen.

The tall and thin man glanced past Lin Yun and looked behind him.

The short man walked out of the guard room, the automatic rifle lazily tucked under his arm, the barrel of the gun slanted across his back foot. He started walking along the side of the truck, mouth half-open, as if expecting rain.

The tall and thin man standing by the door said, "Someone is here to get something."

Not long after, a truck drove up from behind. The first to get out of the back of the truck were four people wearing summer suits and floral ties. They pushed the orange-brown haired boy ahead.

About thirty people got off the bus next, most of them wearing white trousers with ties around the waist and white shirts with wide hems. Lin Yun thought they looked like pajamas. All of them were armed with rifles or pistols. One was holding a machete, and another was holding two large knives in both hands.

"How many people are there?" Lin Yun asked Bolkin.

"Fourteen."

"How come there are so few?"

"It's not a holiday. If you come on the weekend," his eyes returned to a little cruelty. "You'll meet a lot of people."

"I believe it." Lin Yun climbed out of the truck.

Five minutes later, a truck loaded with weapons pulled up at the gate. The marine driving the truck looked young, no older than the guy who had just died, but the guy sitting next to him was a 30-year-old NCO with a weathered face. He had a Colt 45 pistol on his hip, the bottom of the grip faded from use. Just one look at his light-colored eyes and Lin Yun knew that if the three Cubans had attacked him in the corridor, they would have been the three of them lying dead on the ground.

Lin Yun, Lefty, and three other gang members, all wearing corporal uniforms, followed the truck to the unloading port.

He looked back, expecting to see no one there.

Esteban, Lin Yun thought, I just met you, but I really want to kiss your head.

Lin Yun turned back to the truck and found that Corey Dick was no longer staring at him. He turned in his seat and spoke to the driver next to him while the private first class stepped on the brake and turned off the engine.

Esteban sat back, and Lin Yun was about to sit down, but then stopped.

He thought he saw something to the east, in the direction they had just come from, something—

“There,” he pointed, and just as she came out from behind a grove of pines, not toward them, Lin Yun realized that she was too smart to do that. If she had come toward them, she would have had to run full speed through fifty yards of stunted palmettoes and stunted pines.

Esteban started the engine again, and they drove off the shoulder, into a ditch, and back onto the road. Lin Yun clutched the top of the windshield as she heard the gunshot—a remarkably quiet sound, even though they were so far away from the open. From Lin Yun’s vantage point, he couldn’t see where the gunman was, but he could see the swamp: he knew she was heading for it. He nudged Esteban with his foot and pointed to the left, slightly southwest of where they were going.

Esteban turned the steering wheel, and Lin Yun suddenly caught a glimpse of deep blue, just a flash, and then saw the man's head and heard his gunshot. Just ahead, Grace Ella knelt in the swamp, and Lin Yun couldn't tell whether she stumbled or was shot. They had run off the hard land, and the gunman was on the right. Esteban slowed down after entering the swamp, and Lin Yun jumped out of the car.
