Chapter 171 Asmodeus' Gamble
boom!
The giant creature smashed through the ceiling and landed with the collapsing wall.

It was covered with black metal scales, its chest seemed to have a burning red furnace, and it waved the dragon tail with knotted bones, and swung it in the wind!

Chu Yun, standing at the forefront, was the first target of the mechanical dragon.He manifested a Western stabbing sword, holding the hilt vertically, and condensed the origin force barrier.

Boom!
The iron tail easily shattered the barrier, like a heavy hammer hitting his chest, and Chu Yun hit the hospital wall with a 'bang'.

"Roar!!" The mechanical dragon opened its mouth wide.

The cannon barrel protruding from its throat hummed red, gathering raging heat energy like overload!
Lin Xiao jumped in front of Chu Yun, quickly manifested a pitch-black sword, and inserted it into the ground with a "bang", and the transparent "unworkable barrier" enveloped the two of them.

boom! !

The flames surged and burned the barrier, but could not melt it, and the transparent barrier in the roiling heat wave gradually turned dark red.

"It can breathe fire!" Lin Xiao said in surprise.

Chu Yun staggered to his feet, glanced at the front desk out of the corner of his eye, and found that the nurse who should have been there had disappeared.

Looking up at the big hole made by the mechanical dragon, it leads all the way to the top floor of the hospital, and you can even see a waning moon hanging in the sky.

The moon shouldn't be hanging in this position in the night sky... Chu Yun supported his chest and said in a concentrated voice:

"Illusion... This mechanical dragon is an illusion created by the demon god!"

Clang!
Qiao Linna's firecracker bounced off the mechanical dragon's hard mechanical shell.

She clicked her tongue, and turned into a slender sword 'Xingyue Ye'.

"Roar!!" The mechanical dragon waved its ferocious iron tail and threw it at Qiao Linna who was behind.

Qiao Linna avoided the dodge lightly, cut out the Xingyao sword light and scratched the mark on the mechanical dragon's back, her red pupils were piercing.

According to ancient records, Asmodeus appeared in the image of breathing fire, controlling dragons, and instigating gambling.

And this mechanical dragon is very likely to be a member of Asmodeus!
"Jolinna!" Lin Xiao shouted, "Try using the Eye of Horus to break the illusion!"

Hearing the call, Jolina subconsciously activated the "Eye of Horus".

Her ruby-like left eye gradually glowed with a beautiful golden light, and the whole eye pupil showed solemnity, like the scorching sun hanging high above the pyramid.

In an instant, everything around him receded like a tide.She stood in the brightly lit lobby of the hospital, slightly dazed, and looked around, but she didn't even see the slightest sign of the mechanical dragon.

"Miss, what's wrong with your two companions? Do you need to call a doctor for them?" The nurse said in a terrified tone.

Qiao Linna looked over and saw Lin Xiao and Chu Yun standing still.But Chu Yun's face was gloomy, and blood even overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

So... the group hallucination just now affected our three card masters.

I got out of the hallucination, but Lin Xiao and the others are still fighting the mechanical dragon... Jolina frowned and looked up at the hospital's senior management.

The enemy who creates hallucinations is in this hospital!
"Leave them alone."

Jolena stuffed her hands into the side pockets of her hot pants, rolled the hundred-dollar bills into small balls, shook hands with the nurse, and said:
"It's hard for you to be on duty at night. I hope you can also understand our investigation work."

"Of course...this is the information that gentleman asked just now..." The nurse shook hands and said seriously: "However, I am doing this to cooperate with the work of the investigation team... Please take it back."

One hundred star coins is not a small amount, and the nurse refused because the investigation team has a high reputation among the masses and often fights against monsters.

Jolena was startled, nodded politely to the nurse, took over the electronic screen, quickly browsed the files, and fixed her eyes on a scrawny girl.

"Leimeng, 6 years old, cause of disease: infection of an unknown virus, multiple organ failures in the body, ward: 27th floor high-grade single ward..."

Family background, time of admission and many other information are consistent with the boarding body deduced by the investigation team.

Jolena's red eyes were awe-inspiring, and she whispered to herself, "I found you."

boom! !

The mechanical dragon's flame bombs bombarded the wall, melting a huge pothole. Chu Yun looked back at the melted bricks with a grim face.

At this moment, only he and Lin Xiao remained in the illusion, facing the terrifying metal mechanical dragon.

"Aren't you immune to illusion?" Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao beside him.

He wanted to say that Lin Xiao could completely escape from the illusion just like Qiao Linna.

It is indeed possible, but Lin Xiao clasped the Meteor Sword with both hands, and replied: "I am out of the illusion, what should you do?"

"I will last until you finish off the demon god." Chu Yun said seriously.

Lin Xiao wanted to say that you still trust my efficiency, so he stared at the mechanical dragon and said:

"It's all the same. Turn it off, and it will only take a few minutes!"

"Roar!!"

The mechanical dragon opened its steel jaws, and the signal-like eyes on both sides of the pointed head lit up one after another. The power surged to the extreme, and the artillery tube in its mouth gathered white light, blasting an extremely dazzling fireball at Lin Xiao.

boom! !

Chu Yun was sweating slightly on his forehead. The power of the flames was far greater than just now. It was like firing a large-caliber heavy artillery, which could level the entire hospital to the ground!
The heat wave was surging, like purgatory, the surrounding metals were melting under the high temperature, and the fireball was like a scorching sun, about to swallow Lin Xiao!
"Protect yourself, Brother Chu Yun."

Lin Xiao said solemnly: "I'm going to punch!"

Hundreds of crows covered Chu Yun's surface like a feather coat, and then quickly shattered in the high temperature. Before the heavy cannon exploded, he jumped out of the hospital through the big hole in the wall.

The next moment, Chu Yun was lying on the open space outside the hospital, his shrinking pupils reflected the ever-expanding light cluster in the hospital.

Boom! !

The rubble was like rain, blowing half of the building into pieces, and the hot wind was blowing. Among the scorched and messy ruins, there was a figure in black armor with a thick iron chain wrapped around his right arm. He shook his iron fist, looked at the mechanical dragon, and said in a deep voice:

"Lock of Absurdity, come and say hello!"

Following his words, the iron chains on his body seemed to be alive, and they 'cracked' and moved.

With a 'bang' sound, the epee man was surrounded by red evil energy, bursting out with amazing jumping power, leaping high in the ruins, roaring and smashing his right fist.

boom! !

The ground was sunken, and the mechanical dragon fell sideways on the ground, setting off huge dust.

Half of the mechanical dragon's head was directly smashed, and electric sparks exploded. The broken mechanical eyes looked at Lin Xiao and let out a furious roar:

"Roar!!"

At the same moment, the core furnace on its chest glowed with red light, and the light kept colliding, like a bomb about to explode!
However, the absurd lock flew away from Lin Xiao's right arm, and its volume automatically expanded, continuously winding along the mechanical dragon.

The iron chain bound the mechanical dragon in circles, and the red light at the core automatically dimmed.

The lock of absurdity tightly entangles the mechanical dragon, limiting its ability to 'self-explode'.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

This time, it couldn't resist.

"Are you still alive, Brother Chu Yun!" Lin Xiao turned around and asked.

Chu Yun stretched out his hand to express that he was safe and sound.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

This mechanical dragon is a follower of the Lust Demon God.

If you want to get rid of the illusion, you should destroy it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao condensed a huge black epee in his palm.The mechanical dragon widened his eyes and shook his head frantically:
"Roar!!!"

"If you don't want to be wiped out, you have to let us leave here first." Lin Xiao said.

The mechanical dragon nodded at its broken head, and then glanced at the iron chains wrapped around its body, the meaning was self-evident.

Lin Xiao is not afraid of it playing tricks and withdrawing the absurd lock.

I saw the mechanical dragon lying on the ground, white light particles scattered from its body, floating around.

The illusion gradually dissipated.

The top floor of the hospital.

Asmodeus watched the girl on the hospital bed, a trace of astonishment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The ancient mechanical dragon 'Sara' I sent unexpectedly lost...

Sarah has a strong advantage in the illusion, but the opponent forcibly defeats Sarah in the illusion!

This surprised Asmodeus even more than voluntarily leaving the illusion.

After the initial surprise, the gothic girl looked at the girl on the hospital bed and frowned slightly.

The visitor was not kind, and the other party obviously took me as a target.

However, if I take the initiative to attack, Xiaomeng may not last until I come back...

Looking around the ward, Asmodeus muttered to himself:

"Be here, create a dream, and erase them in the dream."

Asmodeus is half-human, half-witch, and her mother was a witch, so she has profound attainments in manipulating dreams and hallucinations.

It is worth mentioning that Asmodeus's mother's ex-husband was "Raging Demon God Samael", so strictly speaking, Asmodeus had to call Samael his uncle.

Asmodeus reached out and stroked the girl's cheek, creating a hazy white mist based on her memory.

"How long has it been, Sigrid?" Jolena folded her arms and looked at the two people who were frozen in the seat.

"Only 3 minutes have passed in real time, but the flow of time in the illusion is not clear..." Sigrid's frustrated voice came from the headset.

Qiao Linna frowned, and at this moment, she keenly noticed that the two of them moved slightly.

Lin Xiao raised his head first and looked around: "That dragon didn't lie, it really came back."

"What a nightmare..." Chu Yun sighed.

Lin Xiao: "It's okay, the mechanical dragon is not very scary."

Chu Yun calmly analyzed: "It's you who is scary."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "That's true."

Seeing that the bickering between the two was fine, Jolena breathed a sigh of relief, and said bluntly:

"I got the patient information, it's on the top floor of this hospital."

The enemy is upstairs, there is no need to go back and summarize the plan.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Chu Yun, you and Sigrid are not good at dealing with illusions, so leave it to me and Qiao Linna."

Chu Yun had no objection, nodded and said, "Understood."

It was already late at night, and there was no one in the elevator.As the number of layers continued to increase, the vigilance of Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna gradually increased.

The elevator reaches the tallest building on the 27th floor.This is the single ward area, with an open space.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the quiet corridor, which was eerily quiet, and stopped in front of a door.

Qiao Linna looked up at Lin Xiao.Lin Xiao nodded lightly, then reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

There was no abnormality, the door opened smoothly, the unique smell of the ward rushed over, and the window screen was blowing in the wind.

Sa!
Almost at the same time, one golden and one black flame ignited in the ward.

Xingyueye and Meteor Sword manifested at the same time, facing the figure sitting by the window.

It was a black-haired girl in a gothic black dress, with her hair tied simply, sitting on the window sill illuminated by the moonlight, flipping through the book in her hand, closing it with a snap, and putting the book on the window sill.

"Introduce yourself."

The girl jumped off the windowsill, lifted her skirt gracefully, and said with a smile:

"Asmodeus, it is an honor to meet you two."

Although she is a demon god, the girl exudes a pure and holy aura like first love, her posture is gentle and quiet, and her skin is as white and delicate as suet.

There was a hospital bed in front of her. A scrawny girl was lying on the bed, her body was covered with catheters, and she was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Lin Xiao looked at the hospital bed.

This girl is the orphan of a friend whom Master Bopu visited in the afternoon...

Jolena's red eyes flickered.

According to ancient records, Asmodeus once possessed a human woman.

From this point of view, Leimeng is exactly her boarding target...

"As you two can see, the hostage is now in my hands. I know better than you how to stop her life, and I can return to her body the moment you attack."

Asmodeus said with a smile: "So, I would like to ask you two to play a game with me."

When talking about the 'gamble', Asmodeus licked the corner of his lower lip, and his eyes lit up with a flash of light.

Lin Xiao thinks he is not afraid of the gambling game, after all, he has great fortune and strong luck.

Moreover, as Asmodeus said, he still doesn't understand all of His abilities, so he can't guarantee 100% that the hostages will be safe and sound.

Jolena frowned slightly... She knew several ways to cheat, but the devil's game was definitely not that simple.

"If the two of you are silent, then it will be regarded as the two of you acquiescing, and I will introduce the rules of the game."

Asmodeus said:
"I would like to invite you two to enter Leimeng's dream. If you can reach the deepest dream, then there is a possibility of destroying me in the depths of the dream."

"Conversely, if the two of you get lost in the dream, you will be trapped in her dream forever."

Asmodeus said lightly: "There are four levels of dreams, and each level has different threats. Even I can't guarantee what she will dream. But this game is absolutely equal, and we all have the chance to kill each other. It’s just going to be beneficial to the dealer.”

Jolena looked at the girl on the hospital bed, raised her ruby ​​eyes, and said calmly:
"You don't seem to want her dead."

Asmodeus smiled: "Who knows."

Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

According to the legend of Tebia, the demon Asmodeus possessed the girl and killed every man who tried to get close to her, except for the girl.

This is not the demon god of lust, this is clearly the God of War of pure love!

I have a precedent of smashing the dream world with the Meteor Sword.

If you are really trapped in a dream, you can just collapse the maze...

"I agree to your gamble." Lin Xiao said, "The premise is that during the gamble, you can't do anything to girls."

"I swear to the Creator of the World." Asmodeus stretched out his fingers and completed a certain ceremony, and said calmly, "Don't worry. I won't allow anyone to cheat in the game, including myself."

What's more... the person who really wanted to die was Xiaomeng.

The gambling game is established, with Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna participating together, and the banker is the Demon God of Lust.

Asmodeus snapped his fingers.

The white mist of the dream filled the air, covering the two of them.
