The next moment, the watches stopped spinning and started to spin - in reverse.
Well……
what……
She felt the pain gradually recede, and then some things that she couldn't remember gradually came to her mind.
She remembered everything.
“Heh—huh—”
She inhaled slowly, and then exhaled slowly—
She looked at the [Time Magician] in her right hand. This was the card Zhao Ye once gave her. At that time, Zhao Ye just told her "I feel this card is more suitable for you". Now it seems that it is more than just [suitable]!
She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and then...
Then she grabbed her hair fiercely with one hand.
Chapter 135 Silent Guardian
For [Wing], the most expensive commodities in the outside world are often "worthless", and the commodities that ordinary people flock to may have no restrictions at all within them.
Justina needs Faust to help her "make money". For her, the easiest, most useful and most "cheap" thing is the [lock]. She does not want to erase all of Faust's memories. On the contrary, she also needs Faust to keep these memories when she needs them.
When she needs it, let Faust "miraculously" "think of it" and let Faust help her solve the problem.
When Faust "woke up", with her intelligence, she was able to immediately understand all the links involved.
Her [cleverness] became her [curse], and her [knowledge] became the [bargaining chip] of others.
This isn't the first time she's resigned.
She was very sure of it - unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything about her previous resignation experience. All she could remember was the memory from the time she resigned today to the time she left the company.
After being "admitted" to J Company again last time, Faust felt something was wrong, but she could not find the problematic link.
But she is Faust, she will look for the answer, so she often looks for opportunities to hide her identity and go to other places to find something that can leave a "trace" as an "anchor point".
Last time, outside the Hanno board game shop, she discovered the power of [cards] and mastered the technique of sealing people with cards.
She even participated in the Beginner's Contest and received a [Time Magician] card given by Zhaoye.
She didn't tell anyone, but kept these things in her own residence, secretly studying them by herself, exploring their potential and looking for her own problems.
However, even so, she was completely unable to resist.
Fortunately - she left some designs and was prepared.
This conspicuous and abnormal [Time Magician] is her own "gamble".
Fortunately, she succeeded, but unfortunately, her guess was correct and she was indeed targeted by that evil woman.
Faust was quite annoyed by the feeling of being controlled by someone he looked down upon using [Singularity Technology].
Because in her eyes, Justina is a fool even among ordinary people. As a result, this "genius" has been controlled by this fool more than once by relying on Singularity Technology!
But she won't sit still and wait for death.
She picked up the card that had saved her and took a deep breath.
The [lock] was still on her, and the [enkephalin] she had hidden in her residence was only enough for the time magician to adjust the time slightly, but it was not enough to allow her to directly return to the time before the [lock] was installed on her, but this was actually a great luck for her.
She had done experiments before. This time magician's special ability was completely random. It was too dangerous to directly affect people. If she hadn't been lucky enough, she would have become an old woman by now.
Slightly adjusting the timing of a person's body was the best she could do, and it was also very dangerous. But even so, she couldn't reverse the time when the [Lock] was installed on her.
As long as she is still in J Nest, there will always be a day when the [Lock] will be activated again.
[Lock] is the least valuable thing in Justina's hand.
But for her, it is a problem that is almost impossible to solve at present——
Good thing...
She glanced at the [Time Magician] again.
Even with Faust's intelligence and wisdom, he feels helpless and powerless in the face of [Singularity Technology]. And those simple and ordinary people will naturally only suffer more pain and torture when they encounter other crises.
Naturally, among these people, there will be some who, like Faust, seek other [power] and [tools].
for example……
Zwei Association, the finalist of the Southern Six Departments, Wicks.
"Let's go--" Wicks panted and escorted several people to retreat.
Most of these people were like him, wearing dark blue coats, carrying big swords or using maces, and fighting with some shirtless guys covered with tattoos.
Wicks knocked a thug to the ground with a sword, grabbed a newcomer's arm, threw him back, and told him to run away as fast as he could, while he continued to stand in front of them.
His coat was stained with blood, both from his enemies and from his own.
The people he captured and protected did not dare to say anything in response. They could only curse and swear: "Damn it, damn it, damn it—"
"Why, these bastards..."
"Where on earth did the section chief go?"
Weeks gasped.
He had lost count of how many enemies he had killed.
This is District 22, the territory of V Company, located southwest of the former District 12 of L Company. Generally speaking, few people would mess up the place guarded by their 2nd Association. (Monthly fee group 6*949:36135)
But now it was different. Their Section Chief, Walter, had gone missing. Not long after that, the local gang suddenly launched an inexplicable raid on their Section 6.
I don’t know where to go…
Unexplained raid...
In fact, Weeks knew.
Ever since the Lobotomy Corporation inexplicably collapsed, and the Day and Night and Pianist incidents occurred one after another, various associations have begun to investigate events related to "Distortion".
It was for this reason that Wicks was sent to District 10 to investigate the Hanno board game store.
And, not long ago, Walter, the chief of the Sixth Section of the Southern Division of the Second Association, secretly reached an agreement with the local gangs.
The guys from those gangs went to their Sixth Department to look for information related to distortion, and they provided the gang with the [design blueprint] of the L Nest.
this would have been
This is something that absolutely should not have happened to the person who finished the association. Not only did it happen to Walter, a section chief, but he also hid it from all his subordinates and took their lives to find an opportunity for his own "promotion".
A few days ago, Walter unexpectedly received an invitation letter. He thought at the time that this thing should be related to "distortion". He was arrogant and went to sign the invitation letter himself, and then took Isadora, the leader of the intelligence processing team, and several other stronger finishers from the six departments.
Originally, Wicks should have been called up as well, but he was assigned a task by the team leader and was currently on a commission, so he happened to be away from the headquarters, and therefore... he escaped.
but……
Section Chief Walter and several team leaders were all trapped in the library and no one returned.
The 2th Section of the Southern Section of the 2nd Association fell into a state of disarray. At this time, because Walter could not be contacted for a long time, the local gang [Stray Dogs] finally couldn't stand it anymore and attacked the members of the 6th Section of the nd Association.
Now, as one of the few outstanding finishers in Section 6 who can still fight normally, Wicks not only has to protect local civilians, but also has to rescue those finishers in the same section.
but--
Two fists are no match for four hands. Even though Wicks now feels that he is stronger than the team leader, he still finds it difficult to resist these bastards who are coming like a tide.
Gradually, his vision became blurred.
A mixture of sweat and blood obscured his vision and he felt a little dizzy, but then he shook his head and steadied himself.
“It turns out there are more than just wimps here.” Several senior members of the Bereaved Dogs came over. Among them was a bald old man with a mask on his face, who looked quite powerful.
"Don't kill him, go and catch him." The man gave an order.
Wicks tried his best to stop it, but his strength was really at its limit, and in the end he failed to protect the newcomer. Seeing the closer being caught, Wicks gritted his teeth, held on to his body, and swept across again, driving away several guys who were approaching.
"Okay, hurry up--" The man didn't waste any more time. He grabbed the ordinary sixth-department finisher and punched him in the jaw, breaking his skull with a click. Then, he held the man's head with one hand and said, "Fuck, don't talk nonsense to me. Tell us quickly, where did that bastard Walter go!"
He hadn't thought of doing this, because this kind of thing was too dangerous. If it was discovered by the other departments of the 2nd Association, then they would be finished -
But the problem is, if they don’t find the map of L’s Nest quickly, then Thumb will definitely blame them, and they will be doomed!
We're going to die anyway, so of course we have to fight!
"Bah!" How could Weeks say that?
"Son of a bitch—" The man punched the finisher again, beating him to a bloody pulp.
Weeks felt his heart pounding.
"You, him, fuck." The man beat the closer frantically, almost beating him into a pulp, "Aren't you the closer of Association 2? Seeing your companions being bullied like this, don't you want to protect them? We only need the engineering blueprints of Nest L, Walter has them in his hands, this is an agreement! We worked for him and fought those crazy people of the Gear Sect, and most of our brothers died! Just for the blueprints!
As long as you tell me where the blueprints are! I will release them immediately! That's a deal!"
That is indeed the case.
Weeks knew it, too.
but……
As a closer of an association, as a decent closer, as a closer with ideals, as a closer who hated Walter... he didn't want to confess.
However, he felt a little reluctant when he saw the newcomer being beaten to a bloody pulp.
Now, he is already at the end of his strength. The reason why this group of stray dogs did not attack him is that they saw that he knew where the [Blueprint] went.
He used his sword to support his body to prevent himself from falling. As he listened to the screams of more and more companions, his heart ached more and more.
He remembered, and recalled his brother's tragic death.
He thought of the people who were injured because of his mistakes when he was working just now.
He remembered the motto of the 2nd Association - Your Shield.
Wailing, crying, blood, death, how can I be worthy of the [Shield] now?
but--
Not the same.
I am different now!
Yes.
You will [evolve]!
What I couldn’t do in the past, I will do today even if it means burning my life…
While the gang members were venting their anger, they did not notice that behind Wicks, an image of a swordsman wearing a dark blue coat and holding a huge sword emerged.
Wicks slowly raised the sword in his hand. At that moment, the movement of drawing the sword, the sound of his breathing, and the sound of the wind as he spun the sword all [disappeared].
No one could hear, and no one noticed his change.
A strange whirlwind wrapped around him, circling around his body, spinning in a continuous cycle. He slowly raised his sword, and felt countless times more power surging from his body.
bang bang... bang bang...
He could clearly hear the sounds inside his own body and the sound of his rapidly beating heart without anyone else noticing.
He is tall
He raised the greatsword and then rushed forward suddenly. Brilliant sword light burst out in the entire alley. In just a moment, he killed several ordinary members of the Bereaved Dogs, cut them into several sections, and their internal organs spilled all over the ground. The high-ranking member of the Bereaved Dogs was caught off guard by the sudden sword and almost had his head chopped off.
"Damn it, why is there no sound when he swings his sword?"
"What kind of despicable trick did you use, damn softie?"
"The sword in his hand must have been silenced by a workshop product. What a wimp!"
The few surviving members of the Bereaved Family cursed angrily.
Wicks didn't have time to finish off the opponent. He quickly picked up the fallen Finisher and shouted, "Follow me!"
Then he swung his sword, creating countless sword winds, forcing the stray dogs to retreat, and he himself quickly turned around and fled.
He could feel the power surging in his body, but this power was dissipating every second, and he knew he couldn't hold on for much longer.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Wicks and his men escaped the gang's pursuit. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath and recovering.
As long as he could get enough rest, he believed that he could kill the guy with two swords.
But does he really have the time?
