Chapter 151

~10 min read 1,995 words

The rain is getting heavier.

Thunder rumbles.

On the way home, Ji Jue found that water had flooded to his knees in some places.

It's not that he can't stay at Lu Ma's house. Anyway, Lu Feng can go to sleep on the sofa. The main reason is that Lu Feng's snoring is too loud, and even thunder through the wall can't cover it. I don't know how others can stand it.

Moreover, whenever it is this kind of weather, he is always worried. The old house has been around for many years, and water leakage and power leakage are the norm. If it is left alone, I am afraid it will collapse after soaking for two days.

Now that he has earned some money, he will find someone to repair it later.

Ji Jue returned home, checked the second floor and the basement, and after confirming that there was no water seepage or leakage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the plan, he spent two hours with the pocket watch, practiced the dissociation technique for a while on the scrap brought back, Ji Jue yawned and prepared to go to sleep.

Then, he suddenly felt a shock on his wrist. It was actually the cousin who hadn't made any movement for a long time!

A window popped up abruptly, shining in front of Ji Jue.

——【Space stability value anomaly warning, drifting time ruin detected, distance 979 kilometers, connect?】

Time ruin?

Or drifting?

Ji Jue's head was big, how did such a thing suddenly refresh?

These days are not peaceful, and life in the wild is not easy. Earthquakes, floods, and storms pass by, or harmful beasts gather. Occasionally encountering disaster-level monsters, even a whole armed convoy can be swallowed in an instant.

So much so that apart from more than a dozen big cities like Yacheng in the entire federation, there are not many cities outside, only some small towns or gathering areas built in narrow stable areas, but they are also limited by the scarcity of materials and have to rely on the supply and support of nearby big cities.

Under the ravages of various disasters, every big city had considered all situations and made preparations at the beginning of its construction. Not to mention being as solid as gold and as stable as Mount Tai, at least it is within a stable area verified by time.

Nine hundred kilometers is already within the range of Yacheng.

This distance is no different from brushing on the face.

Now that such a time ruin comes to the face, while being stunned, Ji Jue can almost imagine the scene of the Anquan Bureau being furious at this moment. Maybe Tong Shan has been dragged out of the bed to work overtime.

An out-and-out emergency!

If the Rift Realm is a complete large fragment stripped from the present world, then the Time Ruin is a strange phenomenon formed by a large number of small fragments gathering together and fusing with out-of-control superior essence.

Either because of the entanglement and collision of superior power, or because of too much ravaging and trauma in the war, or the residue left after crustal movement and even natural disasters... or, it is the interference and influence from the Nine Evils under the vortex.

The interior of the Time Ruin is different from the present world. The internal rules and ecology are completely abnormal, and even the time flow rate is not the same.

It is like a tumor produced after mutation. Once it appears, it must be dismantled from the inside as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the Time Ruin gradually develops and expands out of control, ghost knows what kind of evil things will be born after it breaks.

The Anquan Bureau is in big trouble now.

But at least it's not in the Beishan District, so there's no need to worry about the fire burning to the doorstep.

With a bit of mentality of watching the fun, Ji Jue whistled, just about to take a shower and lie on the bed to read for a while, when he noticed that something seemed wrong.

——【Space stability value anomaly warning, drifting time ruin detected, distance 900 kilometers, connect?】

Wait, this number, is it...

Ji Jue narrowed his eyes, subconsciously trying to get closer to watch carefully, but no matter how he got closer, the pop-up window occupying his vision did not change in size.

Only the number above changed again: 【Distance 850 kilometers】

Then, 【Distance 700 kilometers】

His expression twitched.

Wait...

It's getting bad!

Late at night, rain pouring, thunder rumbling.

"Mom, Mom."

In the lethargy, Lu Ma felt as if someone was shaking her arm. From the hazy lethargy, she opened her eyes and saw Lao Yao holding a pillow: "I can't sleep."

Lu Ma propped up half of her body and reached out to rub his face: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Is your sister grinding her teeth?"

"It seems, it seems something has passed." The child trembled, with tears in his eyes: "Very big thing... very big, very scary..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mom is here."

Lu Ma carefully reached out, hugged the child to the mat, took him into her arms, without the irritability and rudeness of weekdays, and gently stroked his hair:

"Sleep, sleep, Mom will protect you."

"Hmm." The child nestled in her arms, changed his posture, and stuck close: "I like Mom the most, I want to be with Mom."

So, Mom also laughed.

She looked at the clock on the bedside.

Listening to the gradually even breathing in her arms,

I don't know when, she also fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the window, heavy rain and thunder.

Under the same heavy rain, Wen Wen was awakened from her dream by her mobile phone. After a few seconds of answering, the sleepiness was swept away.

Suddenly, a sit-up.

"Drifting Time Ruin? What the hell?!" She scratched her messy hair and was shocked: "Tong Shan, are you serious?"

"Yes, that's right."

The voice on the other end of the call was still stable, although it was already urgent: "Fifteen minutes ago, we received a warning from Quancheng. There was a loophole in the blockade, so that a whole piece of formed Time Ruin broke away from the cave and drifted towards Yacheng.

It has now entered the range of the Beishan District..."

Wen Wen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "After spending so much money and transferring so many people there, the result is still leaking such a big lump. What exactly are you doing in the first department?!"

The alert level of the Time Ruin in the Quancheng cave was already high enough, but it drifted into the city?

Ghost knows how much harm it will cause!

Even a fixed Time Ruin must be blocked inside and outside and solved quickly. People who accidentally step into the relevant range have a chance to be involved in it. But once they go in, it is almost ten deaths and no life, and there is no possibility of survival at all.

Because of their distinct superior characteristics and affinity, Chosen Ones are often more easily attracted into it. Some Chosen Ones even look for Time Ruins specifically to seek blessings or growth and undertake relevant outsourcing. Experienced Time Ruin hunters are as skilled as playing a dungeon when solving problems.

But the problem is, who doesn't make full preparations and all intelligence and emergency plans when going to the Time Ruin? Where is the dungeon that drifts directly to people's faces?

On the phone, Tong Shan said slowly: "People from the third department are already preparing the secret ritual to link the Gate of Eternity, hoping to block it before it gets out of control. But according to observation, it has already begun to activate. I hope the Beishan Department is ready. Once the Time Ruin gets out of control, be ready to clean up at the first time."

Wen Wen had already gotten up and sighed tiredly: "Can it be worse?"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, there was a brief silence, which made Wen Wen stunned: "No way?"

In Tong Shan's ten-thousand-year calm tone, a rare trace of anxiety appeared: "Tong Hua is missing..."

"What the hell?!"

Wen Wen's voice raised, eyes wide.

"More than half an hour ago, she went out by car regardless of the weather to comfort a friend who was broken in love."

Tong Shan sighed: "Before I called, family members found her car on the side of the road. It was empty, the phone screen was still on, and the distress call was not dialed out..."

Click!

A crack appeared on the phone screen in an instant, Wen Wen was furious: "Why didn't you say such a thing earlier!"

"Is it useful to say it?"

Tong Shan's tone returned to calm, or indifference, "Could it be that because she is my sister, I would spare no cost to mobilize the mountain light and risk burning everything within tens of kilometers to break the Time Ruin directly?"

Wen Wen was speechless.

Covering her face, she sighed helplessly.

I remember when she first saw Tong Hua, that girl who liked to run around was also chased by the parasitic shadow beast in the urban legend and ran all over the ruins?

Supernatural exploration really found a ghost.

The first time I saw someone more unlucky than Ji Jue...

Wait!

Her movement suddenly paused, stiff in place, for a long time, before saying sluggishly: "I remember... creations with the breath of vortex and disaster will attract each other, right?"

"That's right. The most common way to guide the transfer of drifting Time Ruins is to attract the Time Ruin in a drifting state away from the original trajectory through evil-transformed polymers and secret rituals." Although Tong Shan didn't know why, he still answered, "This is also the backup method that the third department is preparing to adopt."

"..."

For a moment, Wen Wen's tense body suddenly relaxed.

Breathed a sigh of relief.

The originally hurried movements also became stable, not panicked at all.

After all, if this theory is really established, then the unlucky Chosen One who has the greatest attraction to the Time Ruin in Yacheng City... I am afraid there is only one.

And after she called that unlucky kid three times on the landline and found that no one answered, she finally felt relieved.

"Okay, don't worry."

I don't know whether I should be worried or happy. After the mood went up and down, Wen Wen smiled bitterly: "Take your time."

It has only been a few months, but she has actually started to get used to it.

Once something involves Ji Jue, no matter how normal it is, it will go wrong. But once she heard that Ji Jue was among the unlucky ones this time, she actually had a sense of inexplicable stability...

Anyway, with him there, it won't be worse than anything.

It won't be more dangerous than when he was in Lawrence's mouth or jumping into the mud pit of Bai Lu's struggle last time, right?.

Darkness, dizziness, shaking, falling, weightlessness.

Ji Jue felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a bottomless pit, bumping around like a rag bag, and finally, landed on the ground.

In unprecedented dizziness and nausea, he coughed violently, struggled to open his eyes, and only saw a dim flickering light. The smell of familiar disinfectant water came from the air, and... the viscous smell of blood.

In a daze, he subconsciously climbed up, looked around, and was dumbfounded: Damn, it's fine for this broken Time Ruin to jump on the face, where did you bring me?

Is this still domestic?!

Then, he heard the cold voice coming from the door.

"Not bad, you are the one with the best quality among the newcomers this time."
