Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 252: Return to U-M (please give me your monthly vote)

Barron, who had been spared by the conscious men, was also slightly injured, but not seriously.

When its younger brothers fought back, it not only did not step forward, but quietly took a few steps back. Then it triggered an unknown mechanism, and the top of the entire building began to collapse and fall, as if it was about to be destroyed.

Not only that, within Luke's mental scanning range, the towering Blackpool Tower outside also made a harsh metal twisting sound, and slowly began to twist and collapse.

It's pretty ruthless.

Just after killing a few empty beasts, the bricks and dust falling from the top had greatly reduced the visibility in the auditorium. The leader of the empty beasts took the opportunity to rush towards Luke and the others.

In a panic, Miss Pei organized the children to evacuate quickly and had no time to launch an attack.Luke could see Barron's position through his mental power. Unfortunately, neither telekinesis nor thunder could easily break through the membrane formed by chaotic time and get close to him.

After the group of people withdrew from the auditorium and reached a safe location, Miss Pei realized that something was wrong. There was an extra child in the crowd.To be precise, there are two Jacks in the crowd now.

Miss Pei took a wary look, and immediately asked the other children to stand aside, isolate the two Jacks, and keep them away from each other to prevent the impostor from jumping over the wall if he was discovered.

The two Jacks shouted anxiously at the same time: "I am real! I am real! He is the fake!"

Miss Pei's contact with Jack was limited, and it was difficult to tell which one was the real Jack and which one was disguised by the empty beast.

Luke looked at the two Jacks who were arguing with each other speechlessly. Where are the real and fake Monkey King?

Mr. Barron, what have I done to make you disrespect my golden finger so much?
in the ability to identify
【Void Beast】/【Special Person】

【Skill】

【Eating Eyes】

【Time Skin Film】

[Abnormal Imitation]: You can freely imitate the target character and change your own form at will.

The clear identification results appeared in Luke's eyes.

He pulled Miss Pei over and said to her, "The one on the left is Barron."

When the two Jacks saw Luke's movements, they both looked over nervously. After a second's pause, they began to identify each other again.

Barron hesitated in his heart. He finally saw that the foreign aid Miss Pei had found was so strong that he couldn't run away. Even if he tried to resist with thick skin, he wouldn't be able to resist for long.

Several of his men's fighting abilities were not much worse than his own, and they were killed before they were even dumbfounded.

If you want to survive, you have to look at your brain.

Although Miss Pei didn't know how Luke could tell the difference, after these two days of contact, she already trusted Luke's ability.After hearing his words, without saying a word, he raised the crossbow in his hand and shot an arrow into Barron's leg.

Hit right in the knee!

The enchanted sharp arrows directly pierced the kneecap of the empty beast and stuck firmly at the connection between the thigh and calf, causing him to completely lose his ability to move and collapse on the dusty ground.

"Jack" hugged his leg and begged in pain: "Miss Pei, I am the real one, why do you want to hurt me?"

Luke walked to his side, and the crows also flew over. The [Fear Mist] wrapped him under Luke's command. He also used the "fear" divinity to fuel the fire, filling Barron's heart with the fear of death.

"Change back!" Sensing that Barron's mind had been filled with excessive fear, Luke ordered using the ability of [Confused Mind].

Barron, whose defenses were broken, showed no resistance to Luke's control and honestly changed back to his original black self.

Seeing Barron's prototype appear, the others were relieved and accepted True Jack back into the group.

Luke didn't care about their actions behind him and continued to ask with his [Confused Mind] ability: "Besides being here today, how many other people of your kind do you have? Both humanoid and non-humanoid are included."

"There are six more. They have gone to other cities to look for time circles."

"How do you usually contact me? Is there any way to call them back?"

"In the basement of the room just now, there is an emergency contact button. When pressed, a special wave will be sent across the entire England to call them back."

very good!

The task is more than half done.

After placing the children in a nearby playground and leaving the crow to protect them, Luke took Miss Pei back to the red brick house, which had collapsed more than half.Due to the sudden disaster, everyone nearby had fled, making it easy for him to take action.

With the movement of Luke's fingers, his telekinesis was like a forklift, lifting up all the rubble bricks covering the collapsed house and throwing them aside, quickly clearing a way in.

He found some ropes from the Mirror World, tied up Barron, and took him in with him.

Soon, with Luke's deliberate mental search, the passage to the basement was easily discovered.After passing several forks in the maze, the group arrived at the basement space.

In the middle of the place is an instrument that looks very simple, but is surging with strange time energy. Beside the walls around the instrument, several birdcages are scattered scatteredly. There are actually birds in three birdcages. Imprisoned.

Miss Pei exclaimed, walked over, and opened the cage with great effort.

Three birds flew out with fluttering wings, landed on the ground, and suddenly turned into human shapes with a wave of their wings.It turns out that these three are all Shi Hui birds captured and imprisoned here by Barron.

Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected harvest!
Among the three time birds, there was only one old woman. The other two were young girls. They had just transformed back into human form. They glanced at the tied up Barron with fear and found that he had no power to move. After the robbery, For the rest of their lives, they and Miss Pei hugged each other tightly, chattering about what they had experienced these days.

Luke was not idle either. He found the red button that Barron had mentioned and pressed it directly with telekinesis without getting closer.

The two young Shi Huiniao glanced at Luke distractedly, then turned to Miss Pei and asked about the situation at this time. After their emotions calmed down a little, Luke reminded: "Ladies, we should set off, otherwise it will be later. The official rescue team has arrived, and it’s hard for us to explain.”

The older Ms. Shi Huiniao smiled and said: "Don't worry, young man, I am a local in Blackpool. With the efficiency of the local government, it is impossible for the rescue team to arrive at this time tomorrow."

"But you're right, it's time for us to set off, but I can't stand the environment here any longer."

The other two nodded in agreement, and the group left again.After staying in Blackpool for another two days and wiping out all the empty beasts that came back one after another, Luke finally killed Barron, and this trip to the "Wanhua Mirror" ended successfully.

It is impossible to return from this distant time.After Luke said a simple farewell to Miss Pei, his whole body turned into a ball of radiance and disappeared. After passing through another time turbulence, he followed the coordinates of the Sea of ​​Destiny and returned to the position before responding to the call.

"Wanhua Mirror" sent feedback.

"Accomplish Peregrine's wish and gain the ability to go back in time"

[Time Backtracking]: Condensate special power of time, give it to objects, and adjust their time back.

"Reverse Peregrine's fate and obtain a ray of the divine 'Mirror'."

Divinity was already a regular reward. Luke didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the [Time Backward] skill first.

His time regression is different from Miss Pei's time circle. It cannot be used on a large scale, but can be used on a specific item or life.

It can be used to renovate and restore items.Retrace an old item to a time when it was new, or a damaged item to a time when it was still good.It can also work on extraordinary objects, but the higher the energy level, the greater the consumption.

If used on lives, their status can be adjusted to a period of time ago.If there is enough energy, it can even have a rejuvenating effect.Of course, the consumption is also huge.Even for an ordinary person without any extraordinary energy, retracing his time would cost more than retracing an extraordinary object.As the lookback period gets longer, the consumption increases exponentially.

Therefore, it is only theoretically possible to rejuvenate people. With Luke's current strength, he can probably only rewind an ordinary human by one day.

Of course, death is not retrospective, but dying is, and being injured is even more okay.Even if you only repair local wounds, the consumption will be lower.

Now there are 6 rays of the divine "mirror" and 3 free attribute points.Luke struck while the iron was hot and used these three free attribute points to increase his soul strength to 36.

Feeling that his soul became full and powerful again, Luke continued to meditate in the woods, concentrating on his newly improved strength.

Now the soul strength is almost reaching the legendary limit, but the divine "mirror" is still far away.

It’s all because those tree elves are too inefficient!

If you don't work hard, how will Grandpa Lu be promoted!
Luke meditated in this unknown grove for a full day and night, until his restless and boiling soul regained its composure, he slowly stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked out of the woods.

Comfortable!

Feeling the vigorous mental state, Luke dodged and landed on Harpie's back.

Set off!Go to Arkham!
It is worth mentioning that Arkham is a small town with beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and has nothing to do with a mental hospital.

It is famous entirely because of one of the schools located in it - Miskatonic University.

This university's archeology, occultism, history, psychology, geology, biology, and engineering majors are all top-notch in the world, and it is rich in legendary investigators and madmen.

Although it is not well-known in the whole world, when the industry mentions UM, everyone is amazed.It has the richest library of forbidden knowledge in the world, and many dark magic books, including the famous "Necronomicon", are stored there.

This "Necronomicon" is not Luke's pirated human skin book. It is the ultimate witchcraft book that runs through the Cthulhu mythology system, recording the truest secrets of the earth and the universe.

In addition, there are also many strange items collected there that would drive ordinary people crazy at a glance, including but not limited to gems from the underwater city of R'lyeh, Naiya-related cultural relics excavated from Egyptian archaeological sites, and even some items from certain Grams. Specimens taken from the bodies of the Sulu Familia and even the old god Cthulhu himself.

Let’s put it this way, the watchdog in this school library even killed Yogurt Bubble’s son.

Now Luke is standing at the entrance of this popular university, curiously observing everything inside.

Looking in from the door, the esoteric building complex presents a unique ancient style, combining Gothic and neoclassical elements. The towering spiers and gorgeous arches give people a solemn and mysterious feeling.

Viewed from Halpier's sky perspective, the entire campus is surrounded by an ancient stone wall, except for a gap at the gate. The wall is carved with complex runes and strange patterns, like some kind of strange... Sealing technique.

After watching for a moment, Luke started walking inside.

Then he was stopped by the guard.

"Stop, where are you from?"

The University of Michigan does not have many enrollments, and most of the senior students usually go out with their tutors to run projects and conduct investigations, so the janitors basically all the current students know each other.

Not to mention the students, even the residents of Arkham Town, including the doorman, all know a lot of them. This handsome young man has never been seen before.

Looking at the conscientious doorman, Luke explained: "My name is Luke. I am a friend of Professor Harvey Waters. I have something to do with him."

"Old Harvey's friend." The old man said to himself, and then said to Luke: "Wait a minute, let me ask."

After saying that, he returned to the guard room, picked up an ancient-looking landline phone, and dialed to get through.

The soundproofing effect of the guard room was pretty good, and Luke was very polite and did not use his mental energy to eavesdrop. He just guessed a few words like "friend" and "handsome" through observation.

After a few words, the doorman put down the phone, walked out and said to Luke: "Go in, walk along the main road, turn right after reaching a tower-like building, and walk a few hundred meters further to the office of the Department of History. Go upstairs, old Harvey is waiting for you there."

Luke nodded his thanks and walked inside according to the route he introduced.

Soon, he saw a quaint office building, and Professor Harvey was waiting at the door.

"Hey! Luke! Long time no see. I didn't expect you to come to the University of Michigan to see me. What's up? Are you interested in applying for my graduate school?" He said happily when he saw the good talent he discovered.

Luke shook his head: "Professor, I'm busy saving the world right now, and I don't have time to study for graduate school."

"Oh? Save the world?" Professor Harvey raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that I have saved the world twice?"

Damn it, put it on for him.

Luke and Professor Harvey walked in while chatting. He asked directly: "Professor, are there any powerful monsters in the seal that need to be dealt with? I am also willing to contribute to your action to save the world."

Professor Harvey did not ask Luke why. Anyway, he is a good boy who is willing to help. He opened the door of the office, introduced Luke in, and said: "There happens to be one thing. I just finished collecting information and was about to go investigate. Do you have If you're interested, can we go together?"
