Blue Sword

So what exactly is a hound?

What is the broken space?

Mia was a little irritated and going crazy. She has never wanted Ask to stay by her side more than now - her small head is almost filled with questions.

However, neither the students next to her nor the bald professor could explain it clearly to her. Everyone was mumbling mysterious things like "eliminate the angle" and "don't touch the hounds".

Soon, everyone had completed their mental preparations, and then under the guidance of the professor, they each took out pills and began to prepare to swallow them.

Mia was more cautious. In other words, the thought of being stared at by Aske from the sidelines at this time made her small brain run wildly, and she finally figured out how to deal with the current situation.

She held the pill between her fingers and pretended to stuff it into her mouth using the trick used by thieves in the past. Then he put down his palm, made a sound in his throat as if swallowing, and then looked at everyone from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that Maria next to her had collapsed on the chair and began to talk something unknown, Mia also drooped her neck, leaned back on the chair, tilted her head, and started to mumble vaguely.

It's just that no one appreciates her superb skills now, because everyone else lies back feebly and murmurs to themselves, even covering up the rustling sound of the tape recorder that is the only thing left in the room.

"Constantinople fell... Black Friday..."

"The steam engine started the industrial revolution...the tireless machines are eating people..."

"The East and West camps...the Iron Curtain of nuclear war...must find shelter as soon as possible...leave a fire before destruction..."

"The baby destroyed his cradle and entered the darkness... What a sad future..."

"We were separated... We were separated... We only found one seemingly good place to stay..."

"The demonic tide destroyed everything...lost technologies, hidden civilizations...we have to find them...from the long river of time..."

"I found it!" Maria suddenly jumped up from the chair, dancing stiffly like a puppet, but her pupils completely lost focus, and the corners of her mouth twitched and grinned, "The perfect civilization before the first demon wave! Developed. The science and industry are enough to support mankind to cross the stars and the sea, the most glorious civilization crystallization!"

She began to rattle off a series of theoretical terms quickly, such as multiphase nuclear fusion, orbital logistics networks, and extraterrestrial microbiology. Mia shrank her neck in fear, feeling that this female student had gone completely crazy.

The others were still in a deep sleepy state. In order not to arouse their suspicion, Mia could only imitate their tone of voice and began to read indiscriminately:

"Broken internal organs, coagulated blood, entangled tentacles, lifeless eyes, twisted plants, withered limbs, mutilated brains, scarlet fruits..." She rambled on, feeling a little greedy again, quietly Swallowed.

Suddenly Maria screamed: "No! It's the horned monster! The emaciated evil! They smell me! Run! Run!"

She fell heavily to the ground, and then she seemed to have regained her consciousness. She hurriedly got up from the ground and shook the professor awake from the trance state:

"Quick! I've been spotted by hounds! They've smelled me!!"

"Maria..." The professor slowly opened his eyes and then shuddered in fear, "Hound? Did you meet the hound in the rift of time and space?"

"Yes!" Maria couldn't help sobbing, "I found information about prehistoric civilization... I was intoxicated and stayed there for too long, blocking the flow of time... I was discovered by them! "

"Wake up the others quickly!" The professor also made a decisive decision and said sternly.

So Maria, crying in panic, went to shake the others awake. Mia pretended to be in a coma and slowly "wake up".

"Since you have met the hounds, it is inevitable that you will be targeted by them. Listen, I will find someone to solve the problem of the hounds. Before that, you must stay in this special room and protect Maria. , absolutely not allowed to take a step outside!"

The professor said sternly, then picked up the tape recorder next to him and opened the door of the room - the door and door frame were also made of weird curved surfaces, similar to the tape recorder, and they avoided any problems during the design and manufacturing process. edges and corners.

The door was locked again. The only sounds left in the room were Maria's crying and several other students looking at each other.

"What should I do?" John said first. The blunt braces he wore made his voice a little strange. "When will the hounds come?"

"About 1 day to 1 month," Joshua answered carefully, "It depends on the distance and time between us and the hounds, but it is said that people who are targeted by them will sooner or later..."

He glanced at Maria, who was still covering her face in pain, and continued:

“Once you fight off the hounds once, they usually won’t chase again.”

"But how are we going to defeat it?" Maria suddenly raised her head, hope once again appearing in her tear-filled eyes.

"The professor must have a way." Joshua said in a euphemistic tone, "He doesn't know either."

Maria looked at him blankly, then turned around as if hysterical and pounced on little Mia fiercely:

"It's all you!" She tried to tear Mia's hair and choke her neck. "It's all your curse that attracted the hounds and framed me!"

Although the opponent's movements were extremely fierce, Mia could not be hit by such an attack that was full of flaws. She just retreated quickly, allowing Maria to miss.

Then he followed the trend with a knee.

The knee hit Maria's abdomen hard, causing her to stoop like a shrimp and fall to the ground, even vomiting out her stomach juice. The remaining two male students quickly came over to start a fight, while Mia quickly retreated and avoided their entanglement again.

"Don't blame me!" Mia exclaimed speechlessly, "I originally just wanted to dodge, but her posture to jump into the air was so good that I couldn't help but add a kick!"

John, Joshua:………………

Co-author: Did you hit someone or was it their fault?

"Then you can't do this..." Joshua said weakly, and suddenly heard John next to him scream:

"Wait...what is that!!!"

The two of them immediately followed John's gaze and looked at Maria who was lying on the ground. Her protective suit was broken by Mia and leaked. She was holding her abdomen in pain and arching her body. Her upper and lower bodies were almost bent to 70 degrees. About a degree... From the apex of this acute angle, dark blue mist spread outwards, quickly forming a long silhouette of a beast in the air.

It has a slender body, deformed legs, and a long tubular organ at its mouth, which reminds Mia of the dream tapir she once encountered in the Fire Island dungeon. The tail is as flat as a duck's beak and covered with strange scales.

However, more details are blurred in the distorted light. Like the high-dimensional creature in the last mutation of the Spiritual Tree, the appearance of this creature cannot be accurately observed. Everyone can only see a rough outline. Any attempt to see it further will cause slight confusion. A mental tingling sensation.

A hound from a rift in time and space.
