Learn one small skill every day

Is this some kind of prank?

However, the aura-gazing technique indicated that the skeleton was inanimate.

He has indeed been dead for a long time.

Before even entering the tower, Bai Miao was severely injured. Bypassing the skeleton guarding the gate, Bai Miao entered the interior of the bell tower.

The interior of the clock tower was also dilapidated, with cobwebs and dust everywhere.

Moreover, the interior is very rudimentary.

The clock tower looks quite tall, but there's only one spiral staircase inside, which extends upwards. Bai Miao guesses it leads to the top floor.

Walking up the stairs, Bai Miao felt that every step was unreal, and he always had the illusion that he would fall down if he stepped into the air.

Amidst this unease, Bai Miao also recalled that when he came out of Abyss Street to settle accounts, he seemed to have also walked up a spiral staircase.

But back then, every step was very solid, completely unlike the cautious, step-by-step feeling we have now.

After climbing several hundred steps, Bai Miao finally arrived at a platform.

There is another gate on the other side of the platform.

The door is decorated with various star patterns, including six-pointed stars, four-pointed stars, and five-pointed stars.

Bai Miao knocked on the door, but no sound came out.

So Bai Miao carefully placed his hand on the door and gently pushed it open.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The door slowly opened inward, revealing a spacious area before Bai Miao's eyes.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The rumbling continued, and Bai Miao then realized that the sound wasn't coming from the door, but from the never-ending clock at the far end of the enormous room.

This is the room inside the dial.

The giant gears kept turning, and the moonlight from outside shone through the gaps between the clock hands and the gears, casting ever-changing light and shadows into the room.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Bai Miao spotted a gray-haired woman standing beside the giant clockwork mechanism.

She wore a hunter's outfit that was almost identical to Favre's, or rather, closer to the one worn by Bai Miao.

Noticing that the door had been opened, she lowered her hand from the wind-up mechanism and walked over step by step.

Whether it was the moonlight or her naturally pale complexion, her cold face and sharp eyes made Bai Miao feel a little breathless.

"Mr. Favre asked me... to come and learn from you."

Bai Miao quickly explained his purpose.

Because I felt that if I dawdled any longer, it would be cut.

“Favre…”

The female hunter stopped, and Bai Miao noticed that she was holding a long blade in each of her hands.

When were the weapons brought out?

“He told me to come see you, and also told me to deal with my nightmares first before coming to see you.”

"Is this the kind of nightmare disorder you cured?"

Bai Miao sensed that the other person's tone had become noticeably friendlier.

Although it still sounds cold, it has lost some of its chill.

"it's me."

"Hmm... I understand. Then I'll let you take a look first."

"What……?"

Bai Miao was stunned to find that she had disappeared from his sight, and the next moment he felt a cold, piercing touch on his neck.

The two blades were already clamped between his neck and his head, ready to sever his head at any moment.

"That's Favre's ability."

"Teleport?"

"No, it's space travel. I'll go slower this time."

Bai Miao focused his attention, but he still saw her suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear in front of him.

"Did you understand?"

"No."

"Are you a hunter and a psychiatrist?"

"Um……"

Bai Miao didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, but she felt a little embarrassed because she still didn't understand the principle after the other party had taught her twice.

"Then whether you use a hunter's senses or a psychiatrist's psychoanalysis, see my movements clearly."

She moved again.

Bai Miao also used psychoanalysis on her.

It was actually a human?

Bai Miao saw a woman with skin as smooth as jade, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a doll-like beauty.

However, her spiritual body was a genuine human being, without any signs of becoming monstrous.

Just like the old man sitting in the recliner in Favre's spirit.

They are indeed different from everyone else.

With the help of psychoanalysis, Bai Miao was able to see the other party's movements more clearly this time.

The spirit entity was the first to move, and then the spirit entity itself disappeared from Bai Miao's sight at an extremely strange speed, before reappearing beside the spirit entity.

"You just disappeared... It couldn't be speed, where did you go?"

This time, she moved a little further, and Bai Miao could sense that she was moving more clearly, rather than moving instantly.

"Having seen my actions three times isn't too bad."

She raised one finger on each hand: "On the left is the city of Yar, on the right is the Abyss Street, and my place is in between."

"This place cannot be directly observed, whether in Yar City or Abyss Street. Similarly, we cannot directly determine our location from such a place. Therefore, using our mental energy to determine our orientation is an effective solution."

As she spoke, she slowly approached Bai Miao: "Now that you know the principle, hurry up and put it into practice. Once you succeed, you can leave."

Chapter 202 Navigating the Gap

"Who would understand this...?"

Bai Miao thought to himself, but asked humbly, "My comprehension isn't quite there... Could you please explain it a little more clearly?"

"Then I'll demonstrate it again."

So the female hunter performed the magic trick of making a person appear out of thin air once again in front of Bai Miao.

"Still don't understand?"

Looking at Bai Miao's clear yet slightly foolish eyes, she frowned: "I've already explained the principle to you, and I've demonstrated it four times, but you still don't know how to do it?"

Bai Miao nodded shyly.

There are two possibilities: either she was really too stupid, or she learned very quickly and was a genius.

Teaching a genius is undoubtedly very painful; many of the originally complicated processes should be as simple as eating and drinking in her eyes.

"Why would Favre recommend you... You have absolutely no potential as a hunter."

"..."

"Then I'll continue demonstrating until you see it clearly."

After ten repetitions, the huntress was panting heavily, showing that such traversing was quite taxing.

"Um... why don't you try attacking me by teleporting? You should aim for my neck."

Bai Miao felt really bad, after all, the other party had patiently demonstrated for him, but he really couldn't see her movements clearly.

Even if he knew the principle, without seeing the process, it would be difficult for Bai Miao to try it himself.

What Bai Miao could do was use the passive ability of the Zero Time Lock to enter a state of 100x acceleration.

If he still couldn't see her movements clearly after all that, Bai Miao was at a loss.

Faced with Bai Miao's request, the hunter smiled and said, "Want to grow quickly under the threat of death... That's a good suggestion, but let me make this clear: I won't hold back."

"Hmm... come on."

The fact that I was able to escape Favre's attack using this ability suggests that the 100x speed boost was effective.

The instant the huntress disappeared, Bai Miao felt everything before him slow down.

The enormous, constantly spinning gear came to a stop, and moonlight from outside shone through the circular gap in the gear onto Bai Miao.

A slender blade appeared before his eyes, pointing towards his throat.

At the edge of the blade, two shadows overlapped: one was the hunter's spirit, and the other was her physical body.

Between the two shadows, a raised membrane vaguely appeared, like ripples in space, with waves surging outward from the membrane.

At the same time, her movements appeared to be breaking through the membrane.

Bai Miao saw this process very clearly; even at a hundred times the speed, the opponent's movements did not slow down much.

One second later, Bai Miao dodged the attack and saw the rest of the process clearly.

The key is not how fast you go, but how to get into the gap!

The location of a spiritual entity can be summoned at will, as long as it is within a controllable range.

Bai Miao could easily summon his spiritual body from ten meters away.

"Hmm? You dodged it? That means you could see my last move?"
