Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

If it leaks, wouldn’t it be dangerous for nearby residents?”

After hearing Gwen's explanation, Kiana frowned and said worriedly.

"It's not a big problem, just a partial collapse. There should be many survivors. The professionals inside will handle it."

Gwen vaguely guessed what Kiana wanted to do and comforted her,

"Besides, rather than risking exposure by dealing with the Houkai energy source above, we should leave as soon as possible, which is more responsible for the millions of people in Changkong City."

"Um……"

Kiana nodded, knowing that what Gwen said made sense, and then asked,

"Do you need our help in clearing the tunnel?"

Although it seemed that Gwyn could handle the obstacles in front of him by himself, Kiana, who was inexplicably anxious, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help.

"No, I can handle it myself."

Gwen shook his head and said with a smile,

"You guys should take a break first, we'll have to speed up soon."

"Hmph~

Don’t underestimate me, young lady…”

Kiana shrugged her long nose and said with a smile.

Now that an accident has occurred, it would be bad for everyone if the atmosphere became heavy, so Kiana began to adjust the atmosphere on her own initiative.

"Alright, I know you're very capable, Kiana. If the car gets stuck later, I'll let you lift it."

Mei Raiden did not reveal her inner heaviness and worry, and responded to Kiana.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them became more lively than before.

However, at the end of the tunnel, the raven that had just come down was not in the same good mood as the three of them -

"Ugh……"

After searching for a long time, he finally found the location and touched it down. Before he could stand firmly, an earthquake occurred. The raven was almost buried. Looking at the entrance that was blocked by the collapse, he let out a long sigh, not knowing whether to feel lucky or unlucky.

"I hope those three guys aren't buried..."

Putting aside his complicated emotions, Raven looked towards the front of the passage, muttering to himself as he moved forward.

As for whether he would be trapped here, Raven was not worried.

At worst, I can find the gray snake to dig myself out.

Compared to worrying about himself, Raven was more worried about the three little brats who almost buried him here.

Not long after walking, Raven heard the sound of talking and laughing coming from the front of the tunnel.

Quietly peeked out and saw that the three were intact, but their paths were blocked. Raven breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little confused.

"Even though their way is blocked, why are these three guys still laughing so happily?

...Could it be him?"

Glancing at Gwyn, who was surrounded by a bright yellow halo, the raven was filled with doubts.

This is not how Gwyn should behave in the material.

Because the raven was worried that Gwyn would notice if he stared at them for too long, he just glanced at them and didn't dare to look any further. He could only guess that the three of them were still chatting and laughing because they had enough confidence to leave.

"If these three people haven't gone crazy because they can't face reality, then they must have the confidence to leave..."

The raven, who could only come to such a conclusion, did not show up, but continued to observe from behind, intending to see how the three people left.

However, what the raven didn't know was that Gwyn had already discovered her the moment she approached.

"Is this... Cocolia's pursuers?

Something is wrong. I don't feel any malice, maybe even a little kindness?"

While using his power to open a safe passage ahead, Gwyn was confused in his heart.

Because he only sensed a strange breath approaching and could not see the other party's facial features, Gwyn had no way of knowing the other party's identity and did not act rashly to alert the enemy. He just silently thickened the barrier behind him.

However, what neither Gwyn nor the raven noticed, while observing each other, was that not far from them, a restrained, ominous aura was quietly absorbing the leaking Honkai energy from above, releasing its own power...

Chapter 206 The Broken Seal

It is nearing the end of March, and the newly blooming cherry blossoms have begun to show their beautiful figures.

A breeze blew by at night, and the cherry blossoms rustled, as young and beautiful as a sleeping girl who had just opened her eyes.

And under this cherry tree, in a cocoon of light that has existed for more than five hundred years, a girl with long cherry-pink hair is still sinking in a five-hundred-year nightmare.

However, at this moment, the light cocoon that sealed the girl and the devil together quietly broke, and deep purple collapse energy was continuously seeping into it, and a special alien collapse energy escaped and slowly spread underground.

The first to be affected were naturally the four people in the tunnel—

Kiana and Mei, who were chatting and laughing, felt their eyelids twitching for a while. They slowly sat down against the wall and closed their eyes.

The raven hiding behind slowly fell asleep while thinking.

Finally, even Gwyn, who had been maintaining the flow of energy ahead and interacting with the external energy at a high intensity, saw the bright yellow light around him quietly dim, and the tunnel quietly returned to darkness...

As the four people were quietly infected, the girl who had been tormented by nightmares for five hundred years had a different dream this time.

"This is……"

Looking at his age-old clothes and the sword at his waist, Gwen frowned.

Gwen clearly remembered that he was still struggling to clear the collapsed mud blocking his way just a moment ago. Kiana and Mei, who had been chatting and laughing behind him for a while, seemed to be tired and stopped talking. And then he...

Unable to remember what happened in between, Gwyn had to put this question aside for the time being. He looked up and saw a wide stream flowing not far away. The faint sound of flowing water in his ears came from this stream.

In the upper reaches of the stream, you can see a fairly large village built along the river, and the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking can be heard from afar.

The chirping of insects and birds in my ears and the gentle breeze blowing across my body all seem so real. Holding the sword at my waist that came from nowhere, I can feel a solid touch in my palms.

It seems that all of this is true.

Snapped!

Gwen casually swatted a fly that was circling around him, then withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and turned his attention back to himself.

I can no longer sense the endless power of the five elements in my body, which has almost become a part of my life.

However, Gwyn's strength was not weakened much because of this. The power in his body made Gwyn feel even stronger than before.

However, this unusual strength did not give Gwyn a sense of unreality. Instead, it felt extremely solid and heavy, as if it was supposed to be so.

However, no matter how real it felt, it couldn't hide one thing: this body wasn't Gwyn's...

At least, not all of them.

"So, I was the target of a conspiracy?"

Pulling out the katana from his waist, which seemed to be of average quality in Gwen's eyes, he waved it casually. Gwen was thinking about the current situation in his mind.

"No, even if we take into account the World Snake that might be hooking up with Cocolia right now, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can knock me down or pull me into an illusion without making a sound—"

Su is in the One Vehicle of Thousand Worlds, and the possibility of getting out is very small.

Could it be that one of those two unlucky golden fingers has restored its new function and is automatically testing it here, or even allowing me to travel through time a second time?

It feels even more unreliable...

So... could it be that the Cocolia lab was placed right next to the seal of the Eight XX, allowing that damn thing to break through the seal and drag us all into the illusion?"

After eliminating all the wrong options, Gwen felt that he seemed, might, probably, or almost discovered the truth of the matter.

“I hope not…

What if the cheat code really is unlocking new features? "

With a heavy heart and a bold smile on his face, Gwen walked forward.

After all, if the opponent could pull him into the illusion silently... his chances of winning would be worrying.

As for what the truth is...

You'll find out once you find out.

Although it seems that there is a big gap in strength between the enemy and us now, Gwen is no longer the time traveler Xiaobai from that year. He quickly suppressed the panic in his heart and headed towards the village upstream.

With Gwyn's pace, he soon arrived in front of the village that could be described as "a village with small bridges, flowing water and people living there".

Seeing Gwyn approaching from afar, the few people working near the bridge had no intention of saying hello and just ran away.

Although Gwen was a little confused about this, he did not shout "I am a good person" to ask the other party to stay.

Walking to the bridge and looking through the stream, Gwyn realized that he was actually dressed as a neon ronin warrior.

Considering the deeds of the so-called ronin and samurai groups in history, Gwen felt relieved.

If a normal person saw a burly ronin warrior with a sword on his waist approaching, it would be strange if he didn't run away.

As he understood the truth, Gwen washed his face with the water in the stream and fixed his terrible makeup that someone had put on him.

By the time Gwyn walked across the wooden bridge in front of the village, except for the fact that his clothes were a little worn, he looked like a proper warrior lord.

Although they are not good people either, they are not as hated by people as the ronin warriors.

However, even so, when Gwyn walked into the village, every household along the way still had their doors and windows closed, and no sound could be heard except the occasional barking of dogs, as if Gwyn had entered a dead city.

However, behind those tightly closed doors, Gwyn could feel gazes filled with panic and fear.

Obviously, the village was not deserted, but they were just afraid of Gwyn, the wandering warrior.

or……

Feeling the gazes coming from behind him, Gwen raised his eyes slightly and looked at the back of the village, at the castle tower that was high above and should not be in this village at all.

The castle tower is the tallest, most important and most representative part of a Japanese castle. It has the functions of observation and command, and is also one of the symbols of ruling power in the feudal era.

And this kind of thing is obviously not something that an ordinary village should have——

The big guys who can afford to build something like this wouldn't live in a village, but in a safer and more comfortable city.

and so……

"This is Yae Village."

Having reached a conclusion in his heart, Gwen took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and walked towards the shrine under the castle tower.

According to the plot in Gwyn's memory, before Yae Sakura was sacrificed to Theresa in some unknown way, she was even able to barely suppress Feiyumaru and gain control of her body.

Although the other party is suspected of breaking the seal prematurely due to external Houkai energy, and even expanded the scope of the illusion, pulling the three of them in, the situation should not be that bad...

However, just as Gwen had gradually seen the appearance of the shrine, a calling voice interrupted his thoughts -

"Hey, you're a new traveler? You're a rare guest, would you like to sit down and have a drink?"

Following the sound, Gwen's eyes twitched unconsciously -

There was a tuft of hair sticking out from her short gray hair, her rose-red eyes had snake-like pupils, and a beauty mark was dotted on the left corner of her mouth...

Relying on these characteristics, Gwen basically confirmed the other party's identity—

Isn't this Kojima Bakugo?

How did you get in too?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Gwen also understood something -

"It seems that the one following behind was probably Raven...

And if the raven is following us at this time, it means that the World Serpent has already hooked up with that crazy woman Cocolia...

So, was the escape plan exposed from the beginning?

Tsk…"

Thinking of this, Gwen's heart couldn't help but feel heavy, but he remained calm on the surface. He walked into the other party's tavern and sat down, pretending to be generous:

"Haha... I finally met a living person..."

With a snap, he slammed the sword in his hand on the table, and called on Raven to serve the food.
