Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 131 Breaking In
"Since we are now grasshoppers on a rope, there are some things you'd better know before going in."

Yamu leaned against an old tree and said while smoking.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Yamu."

Xin Lailai nodded. He had only heard about the abyss, and he had heard a lot about it from Kargus, but when it came to actual operation, he was completely blind.

Therefore, even if the final key to this operation will fall on him, the assistance of Yamu, a professional, is absolutely indispensable.

"The first is the root cause of this abyss invasion, or in other words, the reason why things have developed to this extent."

"Do you still remember what our original mandatory mission was?"

"Purge the alienated places affected by the breath of the abyss?"

Xin Lailai replied quickly.

"Yes, go to the designated coordinates and remove the aura of the abyss there. Although this task is difficult, it is not unsolvable. But the problem is that when I get there, our mission location..."

When Yamu said this, his tone paused slightly, his golden pupils stared at Xin Lailai in front of him, and he said word by word:

“—It’s come alive!”

"Brother Yamu, you mean..."

A look of astonishment appeared in Xin Lailai's eyes, and she couldn't believe it for a moment.

"That's right, that town was not sent here by some inexplicable thing, but by itself... after using a ritual to lock this place, it sent itself here!"

Xin Lailai's pupils shrank suddenly.

He thought about many possibilities in his mind, but he really didn't expect that the answer would be this.

"Brother Lai Lai, do you know what we agents are most afraid of when dealing with incidents related to the abyss?"

Yamu said, looking in the direction shrouded in black mist. Through the thick black mist, one could vaguely see the outline of a town floating above the royal capital.

Judging from the trajectory of the black mist, that was the source of the black mist that shrouded the royal capital.

"It is not a product of the abyss that is so powerful that it cannot be resisted, nor is it a mysterious abyss race, nor is it an abyss energy that can easily erode all things, but... the unknown"

Yamu said quietly, his tone that should have been very normal gave people an inexplicable sense of fear at this moment.

"No one can really predict how things affected by the abyss will evolve. This is the most frightening thing about the abyss."

"Just like what we are encountering now, the mission site comes to life and moves itself or something. This kind of thing should be as crazy as talking in a dream."

"But under the influence of the abyss, it has become a real reality!"

"Under the influence of the abyss, that area directly evolved the characteristics of life, and it also has the ability to devour."

"I asked the paradise. Among the second-level contractors who died there, one was a contractor with space talent. The previous one called the weird violator also entered this world because of the attraction of this ghost thing. !”

Yamu said with an ugly expression, while Xin Lailai looked thoughtful and said:

"The ability to devour the opponent...is there any limit to this ability?"

"I don't know, but I speculate that it is probably just devouring the opponent's talent, not plundering all the skills. Otherwise, we should have no chance to stand here."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly. If he could take all the opponent's skills as his own, then this characteristic would be too unbelievable.

If that were the case, the paradise should have directly forcibly repatriated the two of them, instead of letting them use the abyss suppression device to solve the problem.

"So, we have to hurry up. Julius's time magic is brought about by his talent, not his skills. Once that damn thing completely erodes him, he will become a product of the abyss with time and space capabilities... Damn it , why is this kind of thing born in the derivative world?"

Yamu said, put away the abyss suppression device on the ground, and walked directly in the direction of the royal capital without talking nonsense.

"By the way, take this."

After walking two steps, Yamu looked at Xin Lailai who was following behind, thought for a while, took out a bottle of medicine and put it in Xin Lailai's hand.

……

Yamu said, throwing away the cigarette with only a small holder left, and then snapped his fingers. As a golden lightning arc flashed, the cigarette butt disappeared in mid-air.

"Keep it well. Without this thing, you can't hurt the product of the abyss."

Yamu looked at Xin Lailai, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he whispered:

"I hope you won't live up to his kindness in trying to speed up the erosion of the abyss to get you out of it."

really……

Hearing Yamu's words, Xin Lailai's eyes sank slightly.

As he guessed, the reason why he was saved was not only because Yamu rushed back regardless of the cost, but more importantly, someone took him out as soon as he was affected.

As for who that person is, it is self-evident.

"Julius..."

Xin Lailai looked at the potion in his hand, and the words Julius had said flashed through his mind, and he carefully put the potion into the storage space.

"What would the situation be like now without him?"

Xin Lailai asked.

"Let me think about it, if he hadn't taken the initiative to forcefully introduce most of the abyss energy into his body and use himself as a cage to forcefully create a weakness for that damn thing, the world would most likely be over."

"Of course, the current situation is not much better. Even if we succeed, the world will be restarted after such a torment, but in that case, at least the world itself can survive."

Yamu answered honestly. After hearing this, Xin Lailai said nothing and followed Yamu to the edge of the royal capital in silence.

"It seems it noticed something."

Yamu looked at the scene in front of him and said.

When they approached the royal capital, the black mist that had been expanding crazily outwards suddenly stopped, and then slowly shrank inwards like a tide.

The time magic deployed outside the royal capital to limit the black mist was also cancelled. Julius, who was deep in the black mist, apparently also noticed the strange movement of the black mist.

As the black mist shrank, the appearance of the outer city of the royal capital slowly emerged as the black mist faded.

The two came to mid-air, overlooking the scene below.

Xin Lailai was silent as he watched the city being "vomited" out by the black mist.

It was clearly noon when the sun was shining brightly, but the scene in front of me was terrifyingly gray.

All the buildings that could be seen were covered with a layer of deathly gloom, and the whole city was eerily quiet, as if everyone was asleep.

'dead silence'

Even if you just stand outside and look out, you can feel the sense of death coming over your face.

Ding!
A discordant electronic sound sounded.

Xin Lailai looked down and saw that Yamu had slipped back to the ground at some point, moved out the abyss sealing device, and was now tinkering with the operation screen above.

"Tsk, tsk, I can still see this thing. I really miss it."

Kargus's voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind.

After Xin Lailai returned to the body, the other party returned to the soul space of the Five-Leaf Magic Book.

"Teacher, do you know this device?"

A look of doubt flashed in Xin Lailai's eyes. Kargus had clearly seen the abyss sealing device before, why did he only recognize it now?

"This is covered with a cognitive impairment spell. Before the spell is unlocked, except for people from your faction, no one else can see the true face of this thing. Otherwise, I would have warned you, kid."

"This thing was originally built by our demon clan under the guidance of Bai Ye. It was not put into practical use before I died."

Cognitive impairment surgery...

Xin Lailai thought that this thing had previously been called a 'magic confinement device'. Now it seemed that in the eyes of outsiders, this thing might actually look like a magic confinement device.

"This thing has a strong suppression power against the abyss, but it has a big flaw..."

"Easily damaged?" Xin Lailai said casually.

"Fart! This is a creation of our demon clan. Even if you hammer it to pieces, the paint will not peel off!"

Kargus roared, and Xinlailai subconsciously covered her ears.

"The flaw of this thing is that it must use the power of time and space to activate. It is too expensive, and in the end even if it can be mass-produced, not many forces can afford it."

Consume the power of time and space?
Xin Lailai glanced at Yamu who was busy and leaned over, intending to see how the other party operated.After looking at it for a while, Xin Lailai felt dizzy. He couldn't understand any of the symbols on it.

"That's the formula of alchemy. Don't think blindly. But this guy actually knows alchemy. He's pretty good at choosing it, right?"

"Okay, kid, you can take care of yourself next. In my current state, I cannot release my soul thoughts in places affected by the abyss. Be careful and don't die here."

After Kargus said a few words in a hurry, he withdrew his senses and stopped talking.

Xinlailai didn't say much about this. He could see that the reason why Kargus suddenly appeared was not because of anything else, but because he was worried about him.

"Brother Lai Lai, how much of the source of the world has your world received?"

Yamu on the side suddenly turned around and asked.

"88.1%."

Xin Lailai answered truthfully. When Yamu heard this, he just nodded slightly without showing much surprise.

"Very good, at least you don't have to worry too much about the device shutting down halfway."

Yamu said, after clicking on the console for a while, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of Xin Lailai.

[Abyss suppression device detected, yes/no connection]

The sudden reminder caught Xin Lailai off guard.

"This thing can only be used after being connected with a brand, and it needs to consume the source of the world to activate."

Yamu explained, while Xin Lailai focused on the text prompts in front of her.

[Connecting...connected successfully]

[Abyss sealing device]

Status: Not started

Number of current connections: 2
1. Yamu: 35.6%

2. Xin Lailai: 88.1%
Current suppression level: 1
World Source consumption speed: 30%/hour
……

Yamu actually obtained 35.6% of the source of the world?

A flash of surprise flashed in Xin Lailai's eyes. You must know that Yamu cannot trigger the branch line at all due to the mandatory mission. In this case, the opponent can still get 35.6% of the source of the world, which really surprises Xin Lailai. .

"As the difficulty of the world increases, the rewards for defeating monsters will increase. It's nothing to worry about."

Yamu explained casually, and then swiped on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, a white light shot out from the abyss suppression device. When it reached a height of about 50 meters, it suddenly exploded and turned into white light curtains, covering the entire area within a radius of 50 meters. shrouded.

In the distance, the black fog suddenly shrank in a large circle, as if it was afraid of the scene here.

"One hour per person, I will come first. If it exceeds 2 hours, I will provide you with satisfactory compensation, if I am still alive by then."

Yamu asked, and Xin Lailai nodded, saying he had no objection.

"If there are no other questions, we are ready to leave."

Yamu said, snapping his fingers, and then, a dull sound came.

A tank with rigid lines and a metallic sheen full of futuristic technology suddenly appeared and fell heavily to the ground. Xin Lailai was stunned.

This guy stuffed a tank in the storage space? !

"The storage items on my body can hold too many things, so I just packed it into one. Okay, don't be stunned, get in the car quickly."

Yamu moved the abyss suppression device into the car and urged Xin Lailai.

Xin Lailai looked at the magic broom under his feet, and then at Yamu's chariot suspended in mid-air. He silently put away the magic broom and sat on the passenger seat.

"Are all elemental agents so rich?"

"No, I bought this with my salary from Paradise Express. It's considered my personal savings."

Yamu explained while checking the instruments in front of him. After confirming it, he stepped heavily on the accelerator without any hesitation.

Om-!
Along with an astonishing roar, Xin Lailai felt his body sink. The scene beside him was torn into a blurry oil painting by the roar at the rear of the car, and the black mist that was still some distance away instantly stuck to his eyes.

"Roar--!!"

A deafening roar came from the front, and the black mist in front suddenly turned into a big hand, grabbed a pavilion and threw it towards the two of them, making Xin Lailai's eyelids jump.

On the contrary, Yamu looked like he had expected it. He stomped on the accelerator and rushed forward regardless.

Bang!
With a loud noise, Xin Lailai's whole body leaned forward uncontrollably under the influence of inertia. However, the seat belt on his body pressed him firmly on the seat, pulling him down in both directions, which even caused Xin Lailai to have a seizure. An illusion that I am being torn apart by five horses.

I saw the car body like a cannonball, hitting the pavilion thrown by the black mist. It withstood the impact and blasted through the entire building. It carried the light ball formed by the abyss suppression device and penetrated into the black mist. .

……

A few minutes later, in a ruins, Xin Lailai crawled out of the rubble with his hands on the back of his head, his steps a little shaky.

——In the collision just now, the back of his head collided closely with the back seat and the airbag at least ten times, almost shaking his brain out!
"Huh... This way it won't be able to do anything to us for the time being."

Yamu, who also climbed out of the ruins, patted the dust on his body, scanned the surrounding environment, and said:

"Outside, it can still rely on external objects to stop us, but now that we have entered its body, it cannot directly attack us until the abyss sealing device stops operating."

Yamu walked over, dragged out the abyss suppression device, looked around at the thick black mist 50 meters away, and glanced regretfully at the car body stuck in the ruins.

"It's a pity my car, it's quite expensive."

"Stop talking, I don't want to sit on something like this again in my life."

Xin Lailai rubbed the back of his head and cast a Holy Light Healing Technique on himself.

"Ahem, there's no way. If you don't do this, you can't break through its outer circle. I've learned about this type of abyss phenomenon from books. Its strongest control is the outer circle of fog, but it controls its own interior. The degree is almost zero.”

Yamu shrugged his shoulders and said with a chuckle, making Xin Lailai's eyes twitch, but at the same time he did not forget to silently write down the key information Yamu said in his heart.

Yamu obviously has an extremely deep understanding of the abyss, which even Kargus seems to be inferior to. It can only be said that sometimes knowledge is really important.

——In front of the elemental agents who were born to confront the abyss, even the demons seemed a bit amateurish.

Not to mention a layman like him, who simply didn't know anything about everything.

Without Yamu, to be honest, Xin Lailai would not dare to make such a bold decision. After all, there is no difference between fighting against the abyss and seeking death without knowing anything.

"I'll ask my brother about this when I have time in the future."

Xin Lailai was thinking in his mind while looking around, feeling a strange and subtle feeling in his heart.

The thick black fog pack was squeezing crazily in their direction, but it was still unable to invade the effective range of the abyss suppression device.

At a glance, it seemed that the entire world was reduced to this narrow 50-meter-radius hemisphere, which made Xin Lailai, who was accustomed to the large-scale perception circle provided by the psychic field, extremely uncomfortable.

[Warning: You have entered the death zone: the inner city of the royal capital, the place of abyss gazing (LV.50)! ! 】

[*Warning: Has been eroded by the abyss (save), all attributes reduced by 0.1% (save 99.9%)! ! 】

A scarlet text prompt appeared. Xin Lailai glanced at it and felt a chill in her heart.

The area difficulty is LV.50. Just entering here without device protection will cause all attributes to be reduced by 99.9%. In other words, whoever enters will die.

This is the abyss...

Without external help, just being stared at can bring despair to people.

Xin Lailai felt a little heavier.

The two put on the abyss suppression device and walked slowly in the darkness.

The black mist in front is constantly being dispersed by the weak white light. Every time it is dispersed a little further, the black mist will immediately fill up from behind, leaving no gap, like a hungry beast staring at its prey.

Xin Lailai maintained the psychic field within a 40-meter radius and observed every detail nearby.

Not a single one was left alive.

Bones were scattered randomly on the street, crawling there silently.

There was not a trace of human presence in the silent capital, and everything was buried in darkness.

"People who are not strong enough are not even qualified to become monsters in the abyss. When the abyss comes, dying without noticing becomes the happiest ending they can get."

Yamu looked at the white bones, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he whispered.

"However, after walking for so long without encountering a monster alienated by the abyss, I guess all those ghosts have been gathered together."

"When we get there, maybe we will receive a big gift?"

Yamu stared forward, the golden thunder in his eyes pulsating slightly, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through the thick darkness and see the things hidden in it.

The two continued to move forward, and because they needed to be alert at all times to be attacked, their moving speed was not much faster than ordinary people walking.

Time passed little by little, and the two of them did not encounter any unexpected situations along the way, as if the black mist following closely behind them simply wanted to play a prank on them.

After walking like this for nearly an hour, Xin Lailai suddenly stopped and looked up in a certain direction.
