Chapter 74 - Under the city
Chen She controlled Grantham to walk through the streets of Dawn City.
I changed my identity and then looked at Liming City, and suddenly I had a brand new feeling.
Before, Chen She had been trying to observe the world from the perspective of an ordinary person. He set up another portal, established Lishan Technology, and opened an experience store in a relatively chaotic neighborhood. I have also dealt with these small vendors and punks, and helped many homeless people.
But no matter what, he still has a lot of estrangement from the bottom of the world.
Sometimes, a person’s identity is a natural barrier to transparency, which cannot be overcome by hard work.
But at this time, walking in the streets of Dawn City as Grantham, leaving the area controlled by the Lishan Technology Experience Store that is like a paradise, more and more chaotic and disorderly scenes appear in Chen She was in front of him.
It turned out that Chen She, out of consideration for his own safety, didn’t dare to be too waved and wanted to act under Zhang Sirui’s protection, but now he controls Grantham, a servant, and can act boldly with confidence.
After all, the worst result is nothing more than the loss of 5 units of space-time particles. Even after Grantham’s death, Chen She can find a way to reshape him.
I just don’t know what kind of state the Temporal Knights’ branch in Dawn City is now.
Chen She came to a very remote corner, where there was a lot of rubbish, and everyone else stayed away except for the homeless people who occasionally came to pick up waste.
There are many such corners in Dawn City. Although the prosperous area at the core of the city has a lot of money, there are many at its borders that should be demolished and rebuilt. Until now, it was still in the corner of the desolate period, and eventually became a paradise for homeless people.
There is a special sign of the Knights of Time and Space painted on the wall, and there are many such signs in the dark alleys of this city.
Chen She controlled Grantham to put his right hand up, using his synesthetic power to connect with this special sign. Then Chen She felt part of the synaesthetic power in his body was consumed, and a narrow space-time gap appeared in front of him.
Chen She hurried in.
Many professions with synaesthetic pathways can create gaps in time and space and travel briefly in the void. For example, professional time travellers who are purely synaesthetic pathways are very powerful in this respect. The higher the energy fluctuation level, the longer the distance traveled through the space-time fissure. And professions like assassins and ghost walkers combine time and space fissures with assassination abilities, and kill people invisible.
This special sign is not only a secret code used by the Time and Space Knights to contact, but also means the special entrance of the Time and Space Knights in this city. Only by mastering special methods can you enter.
After passing through the entrance, Chen She found that he was already in the underground part of the city.
Dawn City, like other mega cities on the old soil, was built shortly after the emergence of time and space activities. So compared to the old cities on the old soil that have disappeared in the snow of time. Many special plans have been made at the beginning of these new mega cities.
Liming City has a lot of underground space, which is not only for better drainage and avoiding all possible risks. At the same time, the possibility of developing underground was also originally planned.
After all, under the threat of time and snow, it is better to live than to die in a dark underground city.
Because according to the original plan, in a few decades, the population of these big cities will grow rapidly and continue to expand. At that time, no matter how many tall buildings are built on the ground, it will not be possible to accommodate so much new population.
There are also many restrictions to expand the energy barriers that cover large cities, or to continue to expand the scale of large cities and satellite cities.
Therefore, at the beginning of the planning, a lot of space was left in the underground part of these cities, which is considered for future use.
However, in the more than 100 years since the construction of Liming City was completed, the population of Liming City did not increase significantly, and even declined in some years.
Obviously, the original builders overestimated people’s willingness to give birth in this city and underestimated people’s yearning for the ground and sunshine.
As long as these people have the slightest solution, they will never live in the gloomy underground city.
At the beginning, there were indeed some residents in the underground area, and they maintained good contact with the ground part. But not long after, this area began to inevitably decline and the connection with the ground part became more and more fragmented. There was no public security and insufficient supplies. Most people retreated from the underground area.
In order to prevent the underground area from becoming a hotbed for various criminal organizations, Liming City decided to seal off all the main entrances and completely abandon this area.
But blocking the entrance will not stop the Temporal Knights.
Obviously, the Temporal Knights have made the underground areas of the city into their branches, secretly plotting various dangerous activities here.
Chen She couldn’t help but murmur silently in his heart: “A mouse-like organization, which controls space-time creatures like mice, and lives in an underground gutter like a mouse. Tell me where you guys are worthy of the three words of Knights. .”
He continued to move forward in accordance with Grantham’s memory and the symbols on the wall. During this period, he also opened up time and space rifts one by one through the marks, and walked through some specific nodes.
Finally came to a wider underground space.
It looks like a magnificent underground square. Obviously, at the beginning of the construction, the designer hoped to avoid leaving a dark and narrow impression on the residents of the underground city, so some magnificent spaces were specially reserved for emergencies.
It’s just that all these efforts were in vain. After all, it was hard for people at that time to imagine what the old soil will become in 100 years.
The interior of the underground city has completely lost any light from the ground, but there are many wall lamps used for high-energy fuel as lighting. At this time, Chen She feels like he has come to an old era more than 100 years ago from modern society.
Obviously, the Temporal Knights prefer to associate with time and space creatures, and they don’t particularly care about the various high-techs of modern society.
If it weren’t for fear of causing panic, Chen She suspected that they would wear black cloaks even when they went to the streets, leading time and space creatures to swagger through the market.
Chen She stopped because he felt someone coming in the shadow in front of him.
“Priest?” The knight’s voice was surprised.
Chen She recognized Grantham’s memory instantly.
This knight was called Kirkl, and he was the strongest knight that Grantham had left in the Temporal Knights Division, and was a time traveler with third-level energy fluctuations.
When Grantham attacked the Fujitang Group base, although he brought the strong combat power of the entire branch, he must still leave some stronger people to guard the base. After all, there are still many space-time particles and various materials here. And the congregation who did not bring to the battlefield.
It’s just that Chen She felt a hint of unusual meaning.
So he asked, “Where is Joyce?”
Joyce is Grantham’s attendant. Grantham will take him with him every time he goes to the experience store, which is enough to see Grantham’s trust in him.
Kirkel hurriedly said: “Some accidents happened during your absence, Lord Priest. A member lost control while practicing summoning space-time creatures. Joyce was injured in order to stop him, and now there is no way to greet you. “
“I don’t know what the action is this time, what about the others?”
Chen She said lightly: “The action was successful, and we made some necessary sacrifices for the great goal.”
Kirkel lowered his head: “May we meet in time and space.”
Chen She continued to walk forward, and Kokol followed him respectfully.
Following the long underground passage, Chen She saw more members of the Knights of Time and Space.
A large number of kidnapped homeless people are squeezing into a very small space. They are sitting on the ground, their eyes confused, like corpses without souls.
Although the entire division of the Temporal Knights did not leave a few knights, and did not leave many truly powerful clergy, these homeless people still did not dare to make any resistance. After all, any knight here can kill them all without any effort.
“Priest, Joyce is inside.” Cocker said respectfully.
Chen She stepped in, only to find that there was no light blue light from the so-called Joyce, and he had become a corpse.
At this time, Coker who followed Chen She had disappeared.
The other two knights and the remaining 20-odd congregants surrounded Chen Sheqi Tuan Tuan.
Kirkel’s dull voice came from the void: “Grantham, I didn’t expect you to come back alive. The wisest thing to do is to run away immediately. I didn’t expect you to fall into the trap.”
“I’ve said that it was a stupid plan, but you are going your own way for the space-time particles. Now that you are on the verge of losing control, how much power do you have? Is it a second-level energy fluctuation or a third-level energy fluctuation?”
“You should die in the base of the Fujitang Group.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Since you refuse to go to the time and space world, let us take you to the time and space world by ourselves.”
Chen She couldn’t help sighing, and sure enough, the Knights of Time and Space weren’t monolithic.
Grantham took the elite forces of the entire branch to the base of the Fujitang Group, and buried them all there. After being silent for three consecutive days, Kirkel and the two knights who were still in the branch were moved to replace them.
Although Grantham can also see the time-space connection like Chen She, his profession is a manipulator after all, not a curse scholar. When encountering people with the same synaesthetic ability, this observation will be very seriously disturbed.
What’s more, people can change.
After Grantham fell silent, Kirkel had taken the idea of replacing it, and even teamed up with others to kill Joyce who supported Grantham.
At this time, Grantham returned suddenly and his strength was severely damaged. Kirkel obviously had no other choice but to let Grantham disappear completely and make himself the new priest of Dawn City.
Chen She didn’t expect that he had received such a welcome as soon as he arrived at the branch of the Temporal Knights, but fortunately, he had already made full psychological preparations in advance.
The strength of the two knights is not strong, only the second-level energy fluctuations. They have summoned time and space creatures from the rift in time and space.
The size of these two space-time creatures is similar to that of a hunting dog, and they are also second-level energy fluctuations.
There is no new way of fighting, but this is also normal. After all, the most capable person in the whole branch has been pulled away by Grantham and buried in the base of the Fujitang Group.
And Chen She also beckoned casually, and a miniature space-time crack appeared at his feet, and a space-time creature similar to a mouse emerged from the crack. And put on a ferocious posture.
The two knights on the opposite side were taken aback for a moment, and then they couldn’t help laughing.
Because this is too strong a contrast with their expectations.
As the manipulator, Grantham originally controlled level 5 or even level 6 space-time creatures. The oppressive feeling after the behemoth was summoned was suffocating. It is absolutely possible to make these two knights kneel on the ground and shiver.
As a result, Grantham’s power was severely damaged, and only such a weak mouse was summoned. It was really hard to hold back a smile.
But their smiles quickly solidified on their faces, because when the little mouse pounced on them, they suddenly realized that this mouse is not a first-order energy fluctuation space-time creature in their cognition, but rather Three-level energy fluctuations!
This matter is very bizarre, beyond their cognition.
Because all time-space creatures are naturally formed in the time-space realm, the controller cannot create it out of thin air, and can only summon qualified time-space creatures from the time-space realm.
Space-time creatures of this size are, at most, first-order energy fluctuations.
But what they didn’t know was that the time-space creature Chen She controlled at this time was not summoned from the time-space realm, but the one who defeated the monster with Grantham in his own spiritual world.
In other words, this time-space creature that only exists in the world of Chen She’s consciousness, once it comes to reality, it will have the same energy fluctuation level as Grantham. It can be in the form of a rat, or it can become the same level as its energy fluctuations. Of course, its strength will not change fundamentally.
The two knights realized that something was wrong. They hurriedly drove their time-space creatures to stop the little mouse, but the little mouse made a very flexible turn in the air. He directly bit one of the space-time creatures and killed him with one blow!
Space-time creatures themselves are special life forms composed of space-time matter. For humans, conventional attack methods, whether firearms or cold weapons, can cause a certain degree of damage to them, but it is difficult to kill them in a single blow.
But for the battle between time and space creatures, this situation does not exist.
This little mouse was more flexible than everyone thought. He jumped up and down like lightning. When the other two time-space creatures didn’t react at all, he killed them all.
Then the little mouse leaped vigorously and rushed to a certain position in the air.
At this moment, a tiny space-time rift appeared in the sky, and an exclamation came out from behind the rift.
Chen She said lightly: “Come out, UU read www.uukanshu.com or you will die in the rift of time and space.”
A space-time crack appeared in front of him, Kirkel walked out tremblingly, and the little mouse was lying on his shoulder, staring at the position of his throat at all times.
As a space-time traveler, Kirkl can use space-time rifts to hide himself, but his body is still fragile. And his understanding of space-time rifts is no better than that of space-time creatures. After all, for space-time creatures, space-time rifts and space-time realms are where they live, which is an instinct.
Of course, not every member of the Knight Order that controls time and space creatures can achieve this level, it depends on the degree of affinity between themselves and time and space creatures.
Only the top beast masters can drive beasts to jump through the fire ring and walk on the single-plank bridge, and it would be great if the crappy beast masters can not be eaten by the lions they raise.
Kirkel tremblingly said, “Priest, I…”
Chen She put his right hand on his forehead and interrupted his words: “Don’t get me wrong, I asked you to come out of the rift in time and space. I didn’t want to let you go, I just didn’t want your body to be wasted.”
