Chapter 99 Soul Guiding Lamp

Xu Nian felt very strange now. He did nothing, but he felt as if he had taken off a heavy cotton jacket in the hot and dry desert. He felt very comfortable.

The dark prison disappeared with the huge roar in his mind, and the feeling of confinement that followed him like a shadow also disappeared completely.

He even looked down at his rattle and found that the rattle had changed, becoming a blood-red hilt, and the sword tassel was two identical balls.

"This is."

Before Xu Nian had time to think, Yu Man, who was burning with black flames, had already rushed over with a ferocious face.

Almost instinctively, he raised the hilt and swung a sword at Yu Man who was rushing at high speed.

A black sword light suddenly attacked.

He understood something in his heart, as if his body had already learned these skills. One after another, black sword lights formed a black sword net with his sword dance, completely covering Yu Man.

Yu Man's body still maintained the appearance of sprinting at high speed, but when he rushed in front of Xu Nian, his body was broken into pieces like a building block that was pushed down.

Especially the beautiful head, which was like a broken watermelon, with red and white blood flowing all over the ground.

The two eyeballs like grapes were even more full of the brilliance of not closing their eyes in death.

"Xu Nian, I will not let you go!"

At this time, the black sickle that fell on the ground flew up by itself and fled out of the cave at a high speed. The twisted face on its blade could be vaguely seen.

It was still the face of the strange woman.

Xu Nian had an epiphany in his heart. This woman might be the true appearance of Yu Man.

He understood the so-called principle that if you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze. So, without saying anything, he raised the red hilt and chased after the escaping black sickle.

But he was startled as soon as he took a step, because with this step, he took a step of five or six meters, and the speed was unimaginable.

"What's going on?"

Xu Nian inexplicably felt that the changes in his body might be related to the disappearance of the dark prison, so he was only stunned for a second, and then turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the black sickle.

Along the way, two shadows shuttled through the caves at high speed. Xu Nian had no time to check the surrounding environment. He could only speed up, speed up, and speed up again.

Fortunately, I don’t know if it was because of Yu Man’s injury. Not long after, Xu Nian gradually shortened the distance between him and the black sickle, and finally, with a loud shout, he slashed the sickle with a sword.

There was a wailing in the void, and several cracks appeared on the blade of the black sickle, and it fell to the ground.

"Xu Nian, I am a sequencer recognized by the eldest lady, you can't kill me!"

The blade trembled, and Yu Man screamed in fear.

Xu Nian's eyes turned cold, but he didn't hesitate at all, and swung the hilt of the sword again to cut several swords.

"No!"

Yu Man roared in fear.

Xu Nian's face did not change.

The continuous sword light slashed at the same point of the sickle, and there were only a series of clicks. Yu Man screamed in pain, and then the sickle "crashed" and turned into large pieces of fragments and slowly disappeared in the void.

Xu Nian was silent for a long time, then turned and ran in the direction of the chaser.

At this moment,

On the second floor of Building 1 of Sunset Psychiatric Hospital.

In the office.

The young lady who was reading a book seriously suddenly froze, and then said to herself in surprise: "Yu Man is dead?"

A faint figure walked out of a shadow, bowed slightly to the young lady, and said calmly: "I'll go to the Sequence Tower to take a look."

"Yeah."

As the young lady's voice fell, the faint figure slowly disappeared.

But the young lady held her chin with both hands and said: "Dead again? This is quite interesting, could it really be Xu Nian?"

"But this is unlikely! Yu Man is a powerful pioneer who has advanced twice and has the strength of three solutions. With Xu Nian's power that has not advanced once and has not solved one solution, can he kill Yu Man?"

"No, could it be that."

The young lady didn't know what she was thinking of, her face changed slightly, and she said in surprise: "Could he have unlocked the first mental lock with his own power."

When Xu Nian returned to the original cave, there was nothing but broken body parts and blood on the ground.

Everything in the light cocoon had been absorbed by him. He could feel that his spiritual power was several times stronger than before, and even his physical fitness was much stronger than before.

Just like drinking an evolution potion, he could clearly feel that he seemed to have become stronger.

"Think about the fact that Yu Man's umbrella turned into a black sickle after the first solution. Could it be that my rattle turned into a hilt because I also reached this so-called first solution?"

"By the way, Tang Yin said in the ability development plan that there are nine invisible locks in the human spirit that cannot be detected by current technology. Each time these locks are unlocked, the spiritual power that originally belonged to humans can be released. Until all nine locks are unlocked, it is the true form of humans. Could it be that the so-called first solution is to unlock the first spiritual lock?"

The more Xu Nian thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, but he also had a strong doubt in his heart.

If the first unlock means unlocking the first mental lock, then Yu Man had clearly called out the third unlock just now. In other words, Yu Man was the pioneer who unlocked three mental locks. Why could such a powerful person be killed so easily by him who had just unlocked one mental lock?

"Could it be the owner of that strange voice who did it?"

Xu Nian suddenly remembered a voice full of venom that he had heard before, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Stupid ant, what I want is a divine body, not an ugly, disgusting body of a ruler."

He muttered in his heart, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He didn't know who the owner of this voice was, but he couldn't help but shudder with horror when he thought that Yu Man's chanting before casting the spell seemed to be exactly the same as the one that Father Deret chanted at that time.

The great Nyarlathotep?

Who is that?

God?

He didn't know, but his heart trembled inexplicably, as if his soul was shaken as long as he mentioned this name.

In a trance, his wife flew out of the red hilt of the sword. She was still wearing the suspender pajamas she had seen before, but the red lantern in her hand had turned into something like a lantern, and the flame burning inside could be clearly seen.

"Dear, are you okay?"

The wife looked at Xu Nian, whose face was changing from green to red, and said softly.

Xu Nian's body trembled, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw that it was his wife, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Wife, are you okay?"

The wife smiled slightly and said, "Well, since the spiritual power in the light cocoon was all swallowed by you, my dear, my injuries have healed, and even this thing has changed."

As she said this, she raised the lantern in her hand and said in a strange tone, "And, interestingly, this time the lantern... oh no, it should be called the soul-guiding lantern seems to be a little different."
