Chapter 5 Crazy Bet (5k)

"In this case, it should be fine."

After initially controlling the stone ball sacrificial vessel and rendering it ineffective, Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very least, if an attack similar to the space slash just now occurs again, the promotion ceremony itself will be needed to resist it, and it will not be divided into the priests and believers who have had contact with the stone ball sacrificial vessel.

Then Luo Ling continued to quicken his pace.

In order to avoid being detected in advance, she carefully avoided all fighting locations.

Luo Ling knew very well that if his presence was discovered by the warring parties, he would be in great trouble.

For the awakened ones of the Order side organization, compared to the "Pioneers", I'm afraid that she, the "White Witch" who "killed" most of the awakened ones in Victoria, will have a higher priority.

“It’s not far ahead…”

While sensing the location of the stone ball sacrificial vessel and gradually increasing his control, Luo Ling quickly approached it.

But at this moment, her body suddenly paused slightly, and a strange feeling of déjà vu emerged from the bottom of her heart at this moment.

"This is..."

Luo Ling raised his little head slightly and looked in a certain direction subconsciously, then his gray pupils slightly dilated.

She saw a black light emerging from the direction of the ascension ceremony and reaching up to the sky.

At the same time, the blood color in Luo Ling's vision gradually faded, and was slowly covered by a layer of dull gray.

The gray color came quickly and went away quickly. When the grayness completely dissipated, the black light that reached the sky not far away also disappeared.

"...What?"

Luo Ling couldn't help but murmur softly, and soon she was startled by her own voice.

The tender and cute child's voice and the cold and indifferent voice overlapped together, as if there were two Luo Lings speaking at the same time.

Through the spore vision, Luo Ling suddenly discovered that her two forms had merged together at this moment.

No, rather, when she was in the "White Witch" form, her original form suddenly appeared uncontrollably, along with the uncontrollable transformation into a demon.

The gray eyes were tinged with a faint dark gold hue, the ends of the long silver hair were all deep black, and even the tender little hands were covered with some hideous blue-black scales.

Similar situations seem to have occurred in the past.

...Luo Ling remembered.

It appeared once when he used the "Falling Net" to go back in time to save Lina.

At the moment when the boundary collapsed in the "Purgatory" incubator where the "Hunting" team was used as a sacrifice, she uncontrollably "devoured" the entire unstable boundary, which was almost exactly the same as the current situation.

When he thought of the consequences of that year, Luo Ling felt a flash of panic in his heart.

She immediately raised her head and saw a lazy red figure looming above the sky, seeming to be watching the birth of this disaster with a sneer.

——One of the four great omens of "The Sky Speaker", the omen of disaster "Gypsy Girl".

so...

"At this moment, the collapse of the boundaries of the "company" over the whole of Victoria has begun."

The source was the black light that suddenly emerged at the promotion ceremony.

Last time, Luo Ling "devoured" the entire "Purgatory" hatchery, and now...

Will the target of "devouring" be the entire blood refining barrier?

Will it also include everyone in the blood refining barrier...?

"......"

During the promotion ceremony, the woman half-knelt on the ground, looking extremely weak.

"Mad, no, you are the crazy ones..."

Opposite the woman, the severely traumatized educator couldn't help but murmur in a daze.

His eyes were fixed on the woman not far ahead who was also seriously injured like him, and his breathing gradually became more difficult.

"I never thought, woman, that you could use a power even more terrifying than the "taboo" with your mere human body... So, you are a historian, right?"

"you guess?"

The woman raised her head with difficulty, but still raised an eyebrow at the educator, blood gushing out of all her orifices.

Although her injuries did not appear to be serious, in fact, all of the woman's internal organs were almost crushed to pieces. She only managed to maintain her life by relying on the blood-refining barrier.

Using this ability that transcends "taboos" can seriously injure educators in an instant, and it is also a heavy burden on her.

Not to mention that at this moment, the woman also started the results of her busy days.

Across Victoria, all nodes where boundaries collapsed were activated.

Coupled with the blood-refining barrier, an unprecedented "boundary collapse" has begun.

In the dilapidated cabin, two old men sat opposite each other in front of the fire.

The old man squatting on the bench slowly raised his head. The half of his face reflected by the weak firelight showed a solemn and dignified expression. He said in a deep voice,

"Brother, you spoke too early. Our game of chess has not yet come to an end. In a desperate situation, if you try your best, there is still a chance of survival... Isn't this what you always say?"

"...It was my misjudgment." The philosopher curled up on the sofa was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed, "I completed all the preparations for "boundary collapse" with my own strength...

"I'm sorry, brother. I underestimated her... and you guys."

The philosopher coughed violently a few times. This empty shell was almost coming to an end, but it still retained some of its human appearance.

When he looked towards the firelight in the fireplace, there seemed to be some unspeakable emotions flowing in his cloudy eyes.

The next moment, the philosopher sighed and said softly,

"Give me another quarter of an hour."

As the words fell, the fire in the fireplace became brighter.

The old man in the cabin said a few words lightly, but they actually stopped the collapse of Victoria's entire boundary.

The process of "boundary collapse" of the Victorian boundary was forcibly interrupted, and all changes were frozen at this moment and could not continue.

The gypsy girl, who was hanging in the sky and was yawning out of boredom, finally became interested when she saw this scene.

She changed her posture slightly, propped up her chin and looked down at the battlefield below. After carefully sensing Victoria's situation at the moment, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heh...finally it feels a bit like a 'disaster'."

At the same time, inside the blood refining barrier.

"You didn't expect that, woman. In front of the philosopher, your plan... completely failed."

The educator smiled coldly. At this moment, his severely injured body was gradually recovering.

Although the unknown power that just surpassed the "taboo" did bring unbearable damage to the educator, this tenacious force is still trying its best to prevent his injuries from healing.

But now they are in the blood refining barrier, filled with blood mist that can heal injuries. The educator can almost be immortal until the nutrients of the entire blood refining barrier are exhausted.

More importantly, due to the casualties suffered by several teams outside the Blood Refining Barrier, the Blood Refining Barrier not only did not shrink, but instead expanded a little.

In comparison, although the woman was recovering, it was basically invisible to the naked eye. The greatest effect of the blood-refining barrier on her was just to maintain her life.

The first reason is that although the woman can use some of the power of the blood-refining barrier, this power does not belong to her after all. When she uses it, it is completely not on the same level as the educator.

Secondly, the woman’s injuries were actually not much different from the educator’s. The backlash from using this unknown power was quite strong, and she was almost annihilated on the spot. She was able to survive only because of the blood-refining barrier.

If the battle cannot be ended directly by exchanging injuries like this, the only one who will suffer is the woman.

If the "boundary collapse" can be successfully activated, the promotion ceremony will be forcibly interrupted, and all the plans of the "pioneers" will be in vain.

But now it failed.

Even if it's just to delay it a little longer...

It is also enough to complete the promotion ceremony.

Once the ascension ceremony is completed, it doesn't matter whether the boundary collapses or not.

But now, the seriously injured woman could do nothing, she could only watch all this happen.

The woman had deliberately used some words to delay the process, and the educator had already seen through it. He let it go because he didn't care. Time was on the side of the "Pioneer" anyway, and the completion of the promotion ceremony was enough to crush all the cards.

"Really? Is that really the case?" The woman smiled in relief. On her usually indifferent and delicate face, a little bit of charm appeared, which was rare. "Educator, have you forgotten what I just said?

"The most important little guest at this banquet is now arriving late..."

The woman glanced at the stone ball sacrificial vessel wrapped in mycelium, then raised her head and looked in a certain direction. When she saw a vague silver figure slowly approaching this place, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

——It is the "White Witch", a high-risk monster with the strongest presence in Victoria during this period, a monster that looks like a human.

From the very beginning, after the boy was beheaded, the directors had never ignored the existence of the "White Witch".

All subsequent arrangements will take the "White Witch" into consideration as an important factor.

When Li Shaoheng inexplicably received the specific location of the promotion ceremony, the woman standing next to him realized that it was sent by the "White Witch". Only this being possessed the ability to detect the situation inside the "Pioneer".

As for why the woman was able to determine that the message was sent by the "White Witch" rather than the historian...

The reason is simple. At this point in time, the historian's mysterious identity has become clear enough.

Women are historians.

At this moment, as a historian, she surprisingly chose to stand on the side of "the Company", even though the possibility of victory for "the Pioneers" was already infinite.

However, there is another question: Didn’t the “White Witch” form an alliance with the Pioneers?

Did he even cut off the boy's head because of this?

Why would they secretly help the "Company" now?

The woman didn't know, but she took the gamble.

She was betting that the White Witch had not truly allied with the Pioneers, but was only standing together temporarily for some purpose.

This is a situation that women who are both “pioneer” leaders and “company” directors are all too familiar with.

What the woman was betting on was Him, or rather, she, who just wanted to muddy the waters for Victoria in order to achieve her unknown purpose.

In this case...

We should make use of all available means and all available resources.

Even the terrifying and cruel "White Witch" can become a chess piece on the chessboard.

Use yourself as bait to lure the weird into the game.

At this critical moment of life and death, being timid will only lead to a more disastrous failure.

Today, the woman's desperate attempt has been successful.

"Shaoheng, take me away, now." The woman said softly.

The next moment, the severely injured figure of the woman disappeared in an instant, and was taken away from this place by "Shrinkage".

The reason why the woman asked Li Shaoheng to leave this place in advance was because she was waiting for this moment, because the unknown force that even the woman herself could not control just now would severely hurt everyone present and would also involve Li Shaoheng.

And now, the only ones who will face the "White Witch" are the educators themselves.

Kill with a borrowed knife.

The last victim was a teenager.

This time, it is the educators' turn.

At this point, the "Company's" plan has come to light, and it has taken a move to survive in a desperate situation.

"Damn..."

At this time, the educator also saw the "White Witch" slowly walking towards him, but his injuries had not yet fully recovered.

Because at this moment, the invisible field spread around, gradually covering the area, adding a bit of gray to the blood color, cutting off the connection between the educator and the blood-refining barrier, making it impossible for him to mobilize the power of the blood-refining barrier as easily as before.

At this moment, this place has become the domain of the "White Witch". The "kingdom" of power that she seized from her predecessor, the "Puppet Rumor", is gradually dominating everything in the domain.
