Chapter 476

"Damn it!!!"

Lin Xian looked at the skyrocketing countdown in his sight at this time, and immediately realized that he must have guessed right. This countdown was indeed related to the black gear, but he didn't understand. When he got it from Chen Yanxiu before, he also studied it for a while. Why didn't it have such a reaction at that time?

48, 47, 46...

The countdown was like a bomb, frantically retreating in front of Lin Xian's eyes, and Lin Xian's heartbeat and blood pressure were also skyrocketing at the same time!

What to do? It's about to end soon.

What will happen when the countdown ends?

It is definitely not a good phenomenon. If this countdown is related to the black gear, it means that this countdown is very likely imposed on him by Chen Yanxiu. That is definitely not a good thing!

Lin Xian's brain was running frantically at this moment, and even his breathing became rapid.

44, 43, 42...

"Why is time accelerating? This is unreasonable. If it could be accelerated, why didn't Chen Yanxiu use it from the beginning?"

"Did I touch something?"

Lin Xian's mouth was dry at this moment. He picked up the black gear and brought it to his eyes, forcing himself to stay calm, and then observed the black gear extremely carefully.

The black gear was not pure black; it looked more like the color left by long-term fire quenching in some car or device. There were 68 teeth on it, and the black luster had a special sense of flow under the gaze, giving people a strange feeling.

Lin Xian knew that this was a phenomenon caused by the dark energy fluctuations on it, but he continued to observe and never found any way.

39, 38, 37...

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Xian's heart became tighter and tighter.

"What exactly is it? What did I do?"

"Calm down, there must be something you didn't notice."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, raised his hand to create a stool for himself to sit down, and then looked at the black gear in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"If it was done by Chen Yanxiu, what is his purpose? He said at the time that killing me was the Master's task, but this order was withdrawn, so the purpose is not to kill me?"

"The leader of the Divine Revelation should have a considerable degree of understanding of taboo objects, but how did he know about my blinking bullets? Or is there something else on him? Logically speaking, the blinking bullets are not on me, and the Divine Revelation's taboo object detector shouldn't be able to find them..."

30, 29, 28

Lin Xian closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows, quickly organizing his thoughts.

"Taboo object, the Master's power, related to the Giant Ocean God? No."

"Blinking bullets, I put them with Grace using the brain-machine converter. Related to Grace?"

"Wait..."

Lin Xian looked up and thought left and right: "Gamma-ray burst!"

"Grace said she encountered a gamma-ray burst. Is it related to the taboo object, or related to other energy?"

"Why did I suddenly disconnect from Seeing Chu Yan..."

"Disconnect..."

Lin Xian chewed on a few words, his brows slowly gathered, and he suddenly realized, recalling a sentence from Chen Yanxiu.

【It seems... you are also very obsessed with the power of taboo objects. You must know that these are all the Master's... gift.】

【We will meet again, Sword Bearer.】

Boom!

It was as if a thunderbolt flashed in Lin Xian's mind, and he suddenly had a terrible thought.

Chen Yanxiu's purpose was not to kill him, but compared to Lin Xian, he had a higher goal.

South Tianmen!

"Grace!"

No response.

South Tianmen lost contact!

Lin Xian's heart was shocked, and his breath began to turn cold.

20, 19, 18...

South Tianmen lost contact, and he lost contact with Seeing Chu Yan, which meant that the Phoenix Society also disconnected from South Tianmen.

"Damn it..."

Lin Xian once had such doubts. After all, the power he used to restrain darkness to become a Sword Bearer essentially relied on the blinking bullet taboo object from darkness to break through the Sky Curtain Giant Screen to contact South Tianmen. If this power was peeped at, then this card would likely lose its deterrent power completely, because Lin Xian knew that the power of taboo objects did not belong to humans.

From last night until now, he had never had time to contact Grace. He didn't expect that after one night, he had completely lost contact with Grace.

"No, I can't sit and wait for death."

Lin Xian gritted his teeth, immediately gathered his mental power, and tried to sense the blinking bullets.

A void.

15, 14, 13...

Lin Xian continued to perceive, and gradually, he finally had a little bit of contact with the blinking bullets again. That feeling was very subtle, as if separated by a layer of gauze, but Lin Xian knew that he still maintained the containment of the blinking bullets.

"Found it!"

The next moment, Lin Xian's thoughts were complicated. He knew that once he teleported to South Tianmen, his situation would be extremely dangerous. First, he was not sure if South Tianmen still existed at this moment, or what space the blinking bullets were in. Even if everything was as usual, what he faced was the Sky Curtain Giant Screen that could not be broken through. If he couldn't return to the ground, he could only hope that there were supplies in South Tianmen that would allow him not to starve to death in low-earth orbit.

But the countdown in front of him was about to clear to zero. Perhaps, transferring himself to another place was also a choice to protect other team members?

Thinking of this, Lin Xian took a breath, closed his eyes and gathered his mind, preparing to complete a low-earth orbit crossing.

But two seconds after he closed his eyes, Lin Xian slowly opened his eyes again, stood still, and his eyes kept flickering.

"Strange, I am clearly still containing the blinking bullets, why can't I contact Grace?"

Lin Xian looked down at the black gear in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Grace, can you hear me?"

No response.

10, 9, 8...

There were only 10 seconds left.

Lin Xian did not give up and continued to concentrate his consciousness to call out.

"Grace."

This time, he increased his voice.

【I am here.】

A faint voice, as if wrapped in ten layers of cotton cloth, sounded in the depths of Lin Xian's mind. It was not a problem with Grace's tone, but that this voice, or this connection, was covered by a thick layer of fog.

Hearing Grace's voice, Lin Xian's heart was shocked, but at this moment he had no joy, but asked directly:

"Can you contact Seeing Chu Yan?"

【Miss Seeing Chu Yan sent a signal to me through the consciousness link 13 minutes ago to try to contact you. The Phoenix Society has an important piece of information to pass to you.】

"What information?"

【The Phoenix Society Starry Sky Center has encountered multiple infiltration attacks recently. The Night Walker organization and the North American United Front sent reconnaissance teams and discovered that the Advent Sect organization is specifically assassinating Seeing Chu Yan in an attempt to prevent the Phoenix Society from controlling South Tianmen. However, the Phoenix Society's deployment is tight and has not been greatly affected. Miss Seeing Chu Yan asked me to pass the information of Phoenix Society Commander Ye Lan to you urgently. The deterrence of South Tianmen has practical significance, not only in terms of ground firepower deterrence, but also because there is some factor that is more threatening to the dark civilization.】

"I guessed it, but now I am also facing trouble, maybe there isn't much time..."

【Another piece of information, the Phoenix Society has personnel who infiltrated the interior of the Advent Sect who passed it on. The Advent Sect has received some kind of order to solve you and Miss Seeing Chu Yan. The latest news is that this order has been secretly withdrawn, but there seem to be different factions within the Advent Sect that did not execute this new order, so the attack on you may still exist.】

Hearing this, Lin Xian's eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked at the black gear in his hand, inexplicably asking a question.

"Is this taboo object really captured by me?"

On a large island in the Pacific Ocean, a huge metal base group stands in the semi-bedrock mountainous area, as if it were some kind of device embedded in the entire island.

Outside this metal building complex, countless drones hover like a sunken swarm of bees, the barrels of automatic machine guns glinting with cold metal in a drooping posture, symbiotic with the holographic light screen flowing with gene chain models on the walls. Inside and outside the base, a large number of guards in power armor form a strict phalanx, both men and women, all patrolling in an orderly manner.

A patrol team walked into one of the metal outer wall buildings at this time, but the scene inside changed suddenly. Unlike the steel rock walls outside, it seemed to be a huge natural forest inside, with moss drilling out from the metal joints, covering the moss potted plants maintained by the automatic irrigation system; a large number of landscaped vegetation and trees complemented each other, making this place look like a paradise.

In the bright circular room, there were no office desks, no windows, and the surroundings were densely covered with honeycomb-shaped sound-insulating materials. In such an environment, there was no environmental noise, and even one's own heartbeat and blood flow could be heard clearly.

The room door opened silently, and Chen Yanxiu in a casual jacket walked in slowly. After the door behind him closed, even the sound of his walking disappeared. He looked at the woman standing in the center of the room in the light, stopped in the distance, and only spoke after the woman slowly opened her eyes from the state of listening with closed eyes.

"Time is running out."

His voice carried a bit of urgency, but the words spoken had no echo in this room, appearing extremely flat and strange.

The woman turned around, short hair and windbreaker, her face stern, and her eyes carried a calm yet unfathomable feeling.

Hua Xiaoling.

"I said, your approach violates the Master's will and is a completely stupid act, with no benefits."
