The Final Story of Miss Weird
Page 178
In a dream, a game of chess between immortals in the mountains brings about tremendous changes in the world. In a brief moment, it turns into decades of changes.
A slight smile appeared on Lin Jianming's sword-like face. Even if he was "dead", it would be great to see...how you can save your apostle under the power of time.
As long as Elsa's injuries are allowed to worsen completely in a flash before the White Witch can use her power to heal her, even a god will find it difficult to save her.
"is it?"
As if seeing through the meaning implied in the faint smile on his lips, the ghost girl looked at Lin Jianming with her gray eyes indifferently, but with a look of pity, as if she felt pity for his ignorance.
"ah!"
Elsa was startled by the sword light that appeared in front of her, and quickly hugged her little head.
But after waiting for a long time, she saw the sword light stopped about an inch in front of her and did not move closer.
No, that's not right...
Not stagnation, but slowdown.
The originally sharp sword light seemed to be pressed on the slow speed button at this moment, and it could only move forward and backward as it attacked Elsa in millimeters per second.
At the same time, Lin Jianming was horrified to find that there were countless white spots in the bangs hanging in front of his eyes. Looking down, he saw that the handsome young man had become an old man.
"How is this going?"
Lin Jianming, who has been using "Time" for a long time, knows very well that these are all the power of "Time", but why... can the White Witch use them?
Shouldn't the White Witch be just the weirdness of the "Death" path? Why does she even have the power of the "Chaos" path... Wait, isn't it that she controls the power of "Time" but...
Lin Jianming looked at his sword.
"It's very strange, isn't it? Why did 'time' suddenly stop obeying my orders?" Luo Ling said faintly, "I said, this place has become my 'country'.
“Wherever my power reaches is my kingdom, and whoever my power reaches is my slave.
"You don't think... that the 'time' in your hands won't be 'completely controlled' by me, do you?"
Luo Ling raised his hand, and Lin Jianming only heard the sacrificial vessel in his hand trembling violently, with some mycelium spreading and entwining around "Time". The comrade-in-arms whom he once trusted, at this moment... seemed to have betrayed him.
"This is impossible! This is clearly my sacrificial vessel, and it is the power I possess!"
The self-confidence built up over the years completely collapsed at this moment. Lin Jianming's mind became confused as "time" trembled, and he was just a step away from collapse.
"It's not the power you possess," Luo Ling sneered, "It's just the power you stole."
Having power and using power are two different concepts, and this has always been the case.
The gap between the two is as difficult to cross as an insurmountable chasm.
Not to mention...the so-called "time" used by Lin Jianming was not complete, and the effect it could produce was much worse.
As for the high-risk monster that he had killed before, it is another matter whether he was really killed or not.
Lin Jianming's eyes widened as he forcefully grasped the "Time" that was about to break free. He used almost all his strength to make "Time" return to his hands and no longer be controlled by the White Witch.
"Damn it..."
Finally, when Lin Jianming's inspiration was almost exhausted, "Time" finally stopped trembling, and all the mycelium entangled with it was broken by the sword light.
Lin Jianming could sense that the Realm of Time was finally back under his control.
But... Lin Jianming's mood could not recover, but sank even deeper, because he clearly saw more hyphae emerging from the ground at this moment, gradually devouring and dominating his body.
Lin Jianming, whose inspiration had already withered, was powerless to resist this domination. The pure white and elegant mycelium took root in his flesh and blood, controlling everything about him.
Lin Jianming's consciousness was still clear, but he could sense that his soul and body were under this control, gradually losing themselves and turning into a cage that imprisoned his consciousness.
...Miscalculated.
Lin Jianming lost his mind because of the betrayal of "Time". He gave everything he had to redeem the sacrificial vessel "Time" of his former comrade and prevent it from being controlled by the White Witch.
He did it.
But he had to pay the price himself.
There were some soft rubbing sounds, which were the sound of bare feet stepping on the gravel ground, gradually approaching him who was half-kneeling.
Lin Jianming raised his head with all his strength. He saw clearly that the dark sky belonging to the Purgatory Hatchery was inevitably fading away, and was replaced by a bloody waning moon.
Under the blood moon, the ghost girl's gray eyes were emotionless. She casually held a dagger sacrificial weapon in her hand and approached him step by step.
"Go on, keep struggling."
"Let me see, what else can you do?"
The childish voice must have been lovely in the past, but at this moment, when it fell into Lin Jianming's ears, it sounded like the echo of hell and the devil's muttering, leaving only extreme fear.
At the same time, Lin Jianming saw the sacrificial vessel in the White Witch's hand. It was completely black, and also seemed to be an extremely rich ice blue. He had seen such a distinctive sacrificial vessel not long ago.
It was Luo Ling who was killed and crushed by him.
Combining the relationship between Luo Ling and Elsa, and the relationship between Elsa and the White Witch...
And all kinds of details.
Lin Jianming seemed to have thought of something and slowly widened his eyes. He realized that the "company" had misjudged a fact, a mistake that could lead to a complete loss.
The White Witch is Luo Ling.
Luo Ling is the White Witch.
...She is a weird person.
An unreasonable third party has appeared in Victoria's chess game.
What He can do is overturn the entire chessboard.
"I see, I see..."
Lin Jianming murmured softly, and soon he calmed himself down.
This is an extremely important message. No matter what the cost, he must spread it and let the "Company" know. Otherwise... the awakened people and even the entire human race will be doomed.
He stared at Elsa who was making faces behind Luo Ling, but revealed a somewhat pathetic expression, "Traitor to humanity, you will know from now on what kind of tragic end will come from following the weirdness."
After the words fell, a malicious intent emanated from the sacrificial sword in Lin Jianming's hand. At the same time, a ritual composed of several complex patterns appeared in his pupils.
"Sure enough, there is a back-up plan."
Luo Ling stopped and looked at Lin Jianming quietly.
In fact, this battle was also quite a test for Luo Ling. After all, she was not good at high-risk head-on combat.
What's more, since Luo Ling curbed Puppet Rumor's instinct for unlimited expansion, she is still in a juvenile state, equivalent to Miss Iris's most beloved sapling, and is completely incomparable to her sister.
However, when the power of the complete form faces the incomplete version, there is still a certain suppressing effect. Coupled with the huge inspiration brought by the previous swallowing of the boundary, Luo Ling forcibly controlled "time", resulting in errors in Lin Jianming's two ability releases.
Of course, Luo Ling did not expect that Lin Jianming would collapse like this afterwards. She was still thinking that the other party would abandon "Time" to fight with her.
If this is the case, Luo Ling will not be able to use "Time" directly. All she can do is to make the effect of Lin Jianming's use of "Time" go wrong.
The result is what it is now.
Of course...if anyone's comrade whom he trusted almost wholeheartedly and who had fought for countless years suddenly betrayed him at the critical moment, his reaction would probably not be much better than Lin Jianming's.
Now, the reason why Luo Ling did not immediately step forward and use "Absolute Blade" to end Lin Jianming's life was that on the one hand, he wanted to use "Complete Domination" on a ninth-level awakener, even if the other party's inspiration was exhausted, it would take a certain amount of time.
on the other hand...
Luo Ling was also waiting for the other party's next move.
Even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
If Lin Jianming didn't have a backup plan, after being "completely dominated", he would have completely lost the chance of turning the tables.
But now...
"Why does Lin Jianming's back-up plan look so familiar?"
Looking at the complicated rituals in Lin Jianming's eyes, Luo Ling inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
She recalled it carefully, and her expression became a little more strange.
"It seems to be... a ritual used by performers and artists? Wait, isn't this the secret method of the "Pioneers"? "
That's right, it is the secret method used by the "Pioneers" to steal the weird power. This secret method requires a certain price to be paid in order to seize the power that should belong to the weird.
However, it seems that the secret method used by Lin Jianming is more complete than that of the "Pioneer". The object he is trying to seize is the sacrificial vessel "Time" in his hand, trying to gain power briefly in this way.
“Same origin, different paths?”
Luo Ling's eyes dropped slightly, and she thought of the half sentence Aunt Fiona left for her.
The "Company" and the "Pioneers" seemed to be more "similar" than she had imagined. Even their secret techniques were more complete than those of the Pioneers, but they had not been abused.
At the same time, Lin Jianming's secret method was finally completed. His expression turned completely cold, just like the "Time" sword in his hand, and even his temperament was almost integrated with it.
All the hyphae were cut off by the sharp sword light, and the "complete control" of the puppet song was completely interrupted at this moment and could not continue.
The pitch-black sky spread out again, launching a final charge towards the blood-red waning moon before death.
"Is this... merging one's body into the sacrificial vessel?"
Luo Ling's expression was slightly stern, she had not expected that the sacrificial vessel could be used in this way, although this clever method came with a price, as it was integrated with the sacrificial vessel which was originally a strange holy skeleton.
Even if you are able to get out of it later, the impact left behind will not be small, and the sequelae may even accompany you for the rest of your life.
But... its strength is obvious. The most obvious point is that at this moment, Lin Jianming has briefly possessed the power of "time" belonging to "years", which is unprecedentedly powerful.
"good."
Luo Ling's face became a little more serious. She did not treat this battle with a playful attitude, even though her opponent was far inferior to her.
But the next moment, something happened that Luo Ling had not expected at all. Her mouth opened slightly, revealing a shocked expression. This was the first time her expression had changed so drastically since the start of the battle.
After breaking free from Puppet Yao's restraints, Lin Jianming did not hesitate at all.
The sharp sword light was like a terrifying nightmare. The power of "time" that Lin Jianming regained control of no longer worried that his power would be taken away by the White Witch, and he could use his abilities at will.
So, Lin Jianming used "Time" on himself, and then made a prompt decision and launched an attack to the rear without looking back.
He escaped.
Escaped cleanly.
Luo Ling really didn't expect the atmosphere to be so tense. Lin Jianming used this secret technique that would leave sequelae without hesitation, almost as if he was ready to fight for his life.
So he just ran away.
In Lu Manqing's words, it means "running away with a big car."
...The result is both laughable and sad.
Elsa immediately became anxious when she saw this scene. She knew very well what would happen if Lin Jianming escaped. The sisters in the team would definitely not survive, and Miss Bai would definitely get into a lot of trouble.
She sent several "mantras" in succession, but they had no effect on Lin Jianming, who had already merged with the sacrificial vessel. He just managed to resist the torture of his soul.
At the same time, Luo Ling's mycelium tried to control Lin Jianming again, but was cut off by his sword in the blink of an eye and could not be retained at all.
"What should we do, Miss Bai? Use your invincible Puppet Song to think of a solution!" Elsa was so anxious that she was about to cry. She wanted to rush to catch up with Lin Jianming, but was held back by Luo Ling.
"Can't catch up."
Luo Ling said lightly.
Lin Jianming used "Nanliang" on himself, and because he had merged with the sacrificial vessel, he was immune to most of its abilities. As long as he could not be defeated in the first place, there was no possibility of stopping him.
Even the White Witch can't meet these conditions.
but...
Just because the "White Witch" can't do it doesn't mean that the "Purple Pearl" can't do it.
“Sometimes, a bad “rewriting of reality” can also bring good results.”
Luo Ling's lips curled up slightly to smile, but she soon noticed something and looked up.
On the skyline, a few stars appeared in the dark sky, carrying a familiar yet unfamiliar charm.
And a long-lost feeling.
"never mind."
Luo Ling said softly, then put down her little hand, and did not even continue to maintain the "kingdom".
