Mermaid Reef

Flame is a crimson silk that hangs over the city.

Pillars of fire rushed to the ground along the high combustibles.

The first to burn were churches, city halls, theaters... and all the beautiful and tall buildings. Their towering spiers and flagpoles were like a kindling rope, "catching" the disaster.

The main structure of the city building in 1882 was still wood, so the fire spread quickly.

Burning sparks rained down on the ground.

Juan dodges left and right, and runs desperately.

He took Jason to check a time crack he found just now, and sure enough, just as the evil god speculated, the flames flowed from the crack, and they couldn't get close at all.

Now I can only escape from the city as soon as possible to avoid this natural disaster.

But the sudden turn of luck seemed to think that the situation was not bad enough, and immediately came another high platform diving.

"Time begins to flow."

Juan wiped the soot that floated onto his face, and his pupils contracted, which was the effect of the wind blowing.

In the next second, people's screams filled their ears.

It was like falling from a quiet environment into a noisy market. Juan's head was buzzing, and he almost thought he was deaf.

"It's on fire!"

"Help!"

In the eyes of ordinary people, this was originally a very ordinary evening.

Some people are rushing home, some are preparing to bargain with the vendors for the last time, and some are sitting by the window to watch the excitement.Suddenly, fire rained from the sky, and some people's hair and clothes were burned.

At the same time, the small stalls with canvas roofs, the wooden crates loaded with goods, and the trolleys transporting wine barrels on the street all turned into bonfires, just like the decorations to attract European tourists at night on the beach, and the flames burst into the sky.

There was fire on all sides, and people ran to the east, blocked by fallen trees, turned and rushed west again.

Juan was surrounded by the crowd, and he could only try not to be squeezed down.

Everyone's faces were full of horror, they seemed unable to see the clouds of flames flowing above their heads, they just stared at the burning places and shouted.

Juan was almost crushed.

His backpack was stuck among several people and he couldn't pull it out at all, and then Juan was dragged back like this.

If the strap of the backpack is not strong enough, it is estimated that the bag will be gone by this time.

The same goes for shoes.

If it wasn't for the hiking boots that were tightly tied to prevent bugs from crawling in, they would have been trampled off a long time ago.

Under the power of this terrible group collision, people are terribly small.

Juan firmly grasped the backpack with one hand, and at the same time leaned slightly to avoid further impacts.

At this moment, a burning church in the distance lost the support of the main wooden beams, and the heavy glass windows fell off together with the frame and smashed down.

A large area of ​​the street was "emptied" in an instant, leaving a pile of ruins.

The aroused smoke and dust hit the face like a storm.

Juan was staggered by the shock wave. He held his head and held his breath in time, but he didn't suffer any damage, and there was a violent coughing sound around him.

Many people's eyes were blinded by the dust, and they waved their arms in terror, knocking down people next to them, or bumping into burning objects on the side of the road.

In just a few minutes, many people died in the sea of ​​fire or were buried under the rubble before Juan's eyes. He couldn't even stop to help those who fell. The hermit crab can't do anything except cling to his backpack tightly.

"Mr. Johnson?"

Juan shouted with all his might.

He never felt that his eyesight was bad, but now he found that he couldn't see things that were too far away.

The crowd stampede and the smoke filled the air.

Coupled with the lowering of the flames above his head, death gripped Juan's heart like a big hand.

Juan tried his best to keep calm, but the crimson flames that flowed like clouds made his nerves jump non-stop. Coupled with the terrified crowd around him, he couldn't help screaming, and lost his mind inexplicably.

"boom."

Juan crashed into a fire hydrant on the side of the road and his leg hurt like hell.

His eyes lit up, he desperately hugged this solid iron thing, and survived the craziest crowd.

When Jason arrived here, he happened to see Juan take out the tools in his backpack to twist the fire hydrant.

Jason had seen this thing in central London, but he didn't know what it was for.

A jet of high-pressure water was sprayed from the fire hydrant, but the effect was not ideal, and the burning house next to it was not affected in any way.

"How could the flames of the evil god be extinguished with water?"

Jason picked up Juan's collar and left.

Juan was shocked, he didn't understand that Jason looked about the same height as him, but he could easily make this movement, as if he was a child of a certain age.

Juan lowered his head and found that he was at least three feet above the ground, then raised his head again, and the height difference still remained the same.

——The order of the world and all rational logic will become chaotic in front of the evil god.

Juan finally understood the true meaning of what Hans said in the dream.

The previous compass traveled through time and space, and the antique dealer died of a curse. Although such things are bizarre, the plot can still be found in the novel. It’s not that Juan has never read books or watched movies, and he can still accept this unscientific world by force.

Not anymore.

Juan's head swelled and he landed on the sand with a thud.

Looking up again, I found that I had left the city.

Gemil stood under a coconut tree, staring at a faint red crack in the air.

"This is--"

Juan got up, sure it was one of the few cracks he had found before.

He also tore a page of his notes to Jason.

"It's not that there's no way to go here..."

"Tonatiu, God of the Burning Sun, is not on Earth, and the power from the ancient times is limited...I mean, the number of these flames is limited, and now they flow with each other in the four ages, which means that if you venture into it, you will travel to other Kingston on fire."

Gemil folded his arms and said coldly, "We don't care, but our enemy is very anxious. He is eager to find us."

Gu Keluo's goal is Gemil, how could he give up!

"Traveling through time rifts and suffering the crime of being burned by flames, let Gu Keluo take it well."

Jason looked at Juan, who had an inexplicable headache after hearing the evil god's real name, and gestured.

Gamir nodded, and chanted the mermaid's terrifying and charming voice towards the crack.

Although the power of Jason and Gemil was suppressed, the characteristics of the evil god would not change.

Juan quickly lost consciousness, the pearl shattered, his figure blurred for a while, and disappeared.

Under the coconut tree on the beach, the mermaid parted her long red hair and sat comfortably, her tail just enough to touch the waves crashing on the shore.

The nearby humans heard the singing, walked over in a daze, and then quickly fell down one by one.

The singing floated to the city burned by the flames, and the struggling people also forgot the pain and fear.

The suppression of time has greatly reduced the power that destroys the mind and pollutes the flesh and blood in the mermaid's song.

The crowd that was no longer crowded was actually more than the people who escaped in chaos just now.

Some of them are crying, some are laughing, bewildered and foolish.

The singing seems to have opened up a certain inheritance deep in the blood, reminding human beings of the long-lasting horror memories from ancestors and the sea.

Jason glanced sideways at these humans and ignored them.

Affecting humans is a by-product of singing, and Gemil wholeheartedly wants to "lure" the enemy to come, just like the mermaid in myths and legends who expects the sea ship to crash into the reef.

Jason listened carefully. At first he was a little unhappy, but for the sake of the situation, he didn't make a sound.

Listening now, Jason feels that this song is slightly different from what Gemil sang to himself—probably the hunter is holding a jar of honey while walking and tempting the prey to follow, and then grabbing the honey and rubbing it on his body to seduce The difference between prey licking - how does it sound like you are catching a bear?

Jason refused to admit that he was a wild bear who couldn't resist the temptation to lick honey.

The mermaid continued to sing.

The power is suppressed, and the singing cannot flow along the cracks to the different eras of Kingston City like the flames of the Liege, but if there are evil gods passing through these cracks, they will "win the lottery".

It depends on luck.

Gemil thought it was not a big problem. Gu Keluo must also be looking for the whereabouts of him and Jason according to the direction of the flames.

"coming."

Jason's expression changed suddenly, he hugged Gemil and ran away.

The mermaid crouched on Jason's shoulder, staring at the crack where more flames suddenly spewed out.

—like a flaming version of a fountain.

The magic carpet struggled to get out of the crack, and some mottled marks were burned on the outside of the body.

Although this injury was nothing to the ancient gods, Gemil was inexplicably happy in this embarrassing state.

"Come on!"

Gemil greeted the magic carpet maliciously, and asked in surprise, "Where's Gray Butterfly? Can't swallow it and vomit?"

Gu Keluo fell into the era of being suppressed, but Huidie's strength is still there. Does the result need to be said?

This is different from the situation in 1692. At that time, the gray butterfly was controlled by Gu Keluo. Later, Gu Keluo turned his face and wanted to devour the gray butterfly. No brainless evil god would coexist peacefully with Gu Keluo.

"Tsk tsk, from the stomach to the throat, how much is broken?"

But if Gu Keluo wanted to run, Huidie really couldn't catch up.

Gemil rubbed against his lover's neck, resting his chin, as if watching a joke.

"Do you still have the mark of the second Burning Sun God?"

Enraged by Gemil's "I see what tricks you have" attitude, the magic carpet slammed into the crack without a sound.

More flames spewed out, and the surrounding scene shook for a while.

"You still want to go back to the sewer..."

As soon as Gemil finished speaking, he felt that the order of time was touched again.

——The sewer obviously doesn't want to take over these evil gods who have caused harm to it.

The time order is split wisely.

Separate the flames from these evil gods.

With a whirl of dizziness, Jensen couldn't help turning into a vine ball, entangled along the mermaid's shoulders.

Gamil contentedly touched the extra decoration on his head and body, and pulled a vine around his waist.

"Snapped."

Another big hole.

In a blink of an eye, sea water rushed into the bottom of the pit crazily.

The mermaid floated to the surface by the tide, looking at the peaceful city in the distance, lost in thought.

What era is this again?

Are he and Jason waiting for Gu Keluo here?Or wait for human investigators?

Fate made a choice for Gemil.

Looking at the falling magic carpet in the distance, the mermaid raised the vines hanging from her hair, with a malicious and ferocious smile on her lips:

"Very good, Gu Keluo, let me see if the Burning Sun God will wake up and return to Earth first, or I will kill you first."
