Chapter 152 Broken
The rain was getting heavier.

The thunder roared.

On his way home, Ji Jue found that the water was up to his knees in some places.

It’s not that he can’t stay at Lu Ma’s house. Lu Feng can sleep on the sofa anyway. The main thing is that Lu Feng’s snoring is too loud. Even thunder through the wall can’t cover it. I don’t know how others can tolerate it.

Besides, he was always worried every time this kind of weather came. The old house was very old, and it was normal for it to leak water and electricity. If it was left alone, it would probably collapse in two days.

Now that I've made some money, I'll go back and find someone to repair it.

Ji Jue returned home and checked the second floor and basement. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no water seepage or leakage.

As planned, after struggling with the pocket watch for two hours and practicing the dissociation technique on the scrapped parts he brought back for a while, Ji Jue yawned and prepared to go to bed.

Then, I suddenly felt a vibration on my wrist. It turned out to be my cousin who hadn't done anything for a long time!

A window suddenly popped up and flashed in front of Ji Jue's eyes.

——【Abnormal space stability value warning, drifting time detected, distance 979 kilometers, do you want to connect?】

Time Ruins?

Or drifting?

Ji Jue suddenly felt a headache. How could such a thing suddenly appear?

These were not peaceful years, and life in the wild was not easy. Earthquakes, flash floods, and storms often struck, or there were herds of harmful beasts. Occasionally, we encountered catastrophic monsters that could swallow up an entire armed convoy in an instant.

As a result, apart from a dozen large cities like Yacheng, there are not many cities outside the entire federation. There are only some small towns or gathering areas built in narrow and stable areas, but they are also limited by the scarcity of materials and have to rely on the supply and support of nearby large cities.

Under the ravages of various disasters, every major city had considered all possible situations and made preparations at the beginning of its construction. Although not as solid as a rock, it was at least within the stable zone that had been verified by time.

Nine hundred kilometers is already within the scope of Yacheng.

This distance is no different from brushing it on your face.

Now that he was facing such a Shixu right in front of him, Ji Jue could almost imagine the Security Bureau's furious scene at the same time as he was stunned. Maybe Tong Shan had already been dragged out of bed to work overtime.

A true emergency!
If the Rift is a large, complete fragment that has been separated from the real world, then the Time Ruins is a strange phenomenon formed when a large number of small fragments come together and merge with the out-of-control essence of Supreme Good.

Perhaps it was due to the entanglement and collision of the forces of Supreme Good, or because it had experienced too much devastation and trauma in the war, or because it was the residue left after the movement of the earth's crust or even natural disasters... or perhaps it was due to the interference and influence of the Nine Evils under the vortex.

The interior of Time Ruins is different from the real world. The internal rules and ecology are completely abnormal, and even the speed of time flow is different.

It is like a tumor produced after a mutation. Once it appears, it must be removed from the inside as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the time ruins gradually develop and expand out of control, who knows what weird things will be born after it shatters.

The Security Bureau is in big trouble now.

But at least it’s not in the North Mountain area, so there’s no need to worry about the fire reaching my doorstep.

With a bit of a watch-the-fun mentality, Ji Jue whistled and was about to take a shower and lie on the bed to read a book when he realized that something seemed to be wrong.

——【Abnormal space stability value warning, drifting time detected, distance 900 kilometers, do you want to connect?】

Wait, this number, is it...

Ji Jue narrowed his eyes and subconsciously tried to move closer to take a closer look, but no matter how close he moved, the pop-up window that occupied his field of vision did not change in size.

Only the numbers above changed again: [Distance 850 kilometers]

Then, [700 kilometers away]

His expression twitched.

and many more……

It's getting bad!

Late at night, it rained heavily and thunder roared.

"Mommy mommy."

In her daze, Lu Ma felt as if someone was shaking her arm. She opened her eyes from her daze and saw the youngest child hugging a pillow: "I can't sleep."

Mother Lu propped herself up halfway and rubbed his face with her hands: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Is your sister grinding her teeth?"

"It seems, it seems like something has passed by." The child trembled, with tears in his eyes: "It's a big thing... very big, very scary..."

"Don't be afraid, mom is here."

Mother Lu carefully reached out her hand, carried the child to the mat, and held him in her arms. She was not as irritable or rude as usual, and gently stroked his hair:
"Go to sleep, go to sleep, mom will protect you."

"Yeah." The child snuggled in her arms, changed his position, and stuck close to her: "I love my mother the most. I want to be with my mother."

Then, mom also laughed.

She looked at the clock by the bed.

Listening to the gradually even breathing in my arms,

I don't know when, I fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the window, there was heavy rain and thunder.

In the same rainstorm, Wen Wen was awakened from her dream by a cell phone call. A few seconds after she picked up the phone, her sleepiness was swept away. Suddenly, she did a sit-up.

"Drifting Time Ruins? What the hell?!" She scratched her sleep-messed hair and said in shock: "Tong Shan, are you serious?"

"Yes, that's right."

The voice on the other end of the call remained stable, even though it was extremely urgent: "Fifteen minutes ago, we received an early warning from Quancheng that there was a loophole in the blockade, so that a whole piece of Time Ruins broke away from the cave and floated towards the direction of Yacheng.

We have now entered the Beishan area..."

Wen Wen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "We spent so much money and mobilized so many people, but in the end, such a big thing was leaked. What on earth are you doing?!"

The alert level at Shixu in the Quancheng Cave was already high enough, but why did it drift into the urban area?
God knows how much harm it will cause!
Even a fixed time ruin must be sealed off inside and outside and resolved as soon as possible. Anyone who accidentally steps into the relevant area has a chance of being sucked into it, but once inside, there is almost no chance of survival, and there is no possibility of survival at all.

The Chosen Ones are often more easily attracted to the game due to their distinct characteristics of being good and having similarities. Some Chosen Ones even specifically seek out the Time Ruins to obtain blessings or growth and undertake related outsourcing. Experienced Time Ruins Hunters are as skilled in solving problems as if they were in a dungeon.

But the problem is, who goes to Shixu without making full preparations and having all the intelligence and emergency plans? How could a copy just float directly onto a person's face?

Tong Shan said slowly on the phone: "The people from the three divisions are already preparing the secret ceremony to connect to the Eternal Gate, hoping to seal it off before it gets out of control. However, according to observation, it has already begun to activate. I hope the Beishan Division will be prepared. Once the Time Ruins gets out of control, be prepared to clean it up immediately."

Wen Wen had already gotten up and sighed tiredly, "Can it get any worse?"

"..."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, which made Wen Wen stunned: "No way?"

A rare hint of anxiety emerged in Tong Shan's calm tone: "Tong Hua is missing..."

"What the hell?!"

Wen Wen's voice rose and her eyes widened.

"More than half an hour ago, she drove out regardless of the weather to comfort her friend who had just broken up."

Tong Shan sighed: "Before I called, her family found her car on the roadside. It was empty, but the phone screen was still on, but the call for help hadn't been made..."

click!
A crack appeared on the phone screen in an instant, and Wen Wen was furious: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

"Is it useful to say so?"

Tong Shan's tone returned to calmness, or perhaps indifference, "Just because she is my sister, would you mobilize the mountain light at any cost, risking the burning of everything within dozens of kilometers, and directly break through the Time Ruins?"

Wen Wen was speechless.

He covered his face and sighed helplessly.

Remember when she first met Tong Hua, that girl who loved to run around was chased all over the ruins by the parasitic shadow beast in the urban legend?
The paranormal exploration ended up actually discovering a ghost.

This is the first time I've seen someone even more downcast than Ji Jue...

and many more!

She suddenly paused and froze in place for a long time before she said hesitantly, "I remember... creatures with whirlpools and disaster auras would attract each other, right?"

"That's right. Currently, the most common way to guide the drifting time to move is to use evil polymers and secret rituals to attract the drifting time to leave its original trajectory." Although Tong Shan didn't understand why, he still answered, "This is also the backup method that the three departments are preparing to take."

"..."

For a moment, Wen Wen's tense body suddenly relaxed.

relieved.

The originally hurried movements became steady, without any panic at all.

After all, if this theory is true, then there is probably only one unlucky child chosen one in Yazhou City who is the most attractive to Shi Xu...

After she called the unfortunate child three times on her landline and found that no one answered, she finally felt relieved.

"Okay, don't worry."

Not knowing whether to be sad or happy, after experiencing ups and downs in her mood, Wen Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Take your time."

It's only been a few months, but she's already started to get used to it.

Anything, once it involves Ji Jue, will go wrong no matter how normal it is. But once she heard that Ji Jue was one of the unlucky people this time, she actually felt an inexplicable sense of security...

Anyway, as long as he is around, it can't be that bad.

It can't be more dangerous than the last time in Lawrence's mouth or when he jumped into the mud pit where the white deer fought, right?
Darkness, dizziness, shaking, falling, and a sense of weightlessness.

Ji Jue felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a bottomless pit, bumping around like a rag bag, and finally, fell to the ground.

Amidst unprecedented dizziness and nausea, he coughed violently and opened his eyes with difficulty. He saw only a dim flickering light, the familiar smell of disinfectant in the air, and... the sticky smell of blood.

In a daze, he subconsciously got up, looked around, and was bewildered: Shi Shi, it’s okay that this bastard Shi Xu jumped up in my face, but what are you doing to me?

Is this still in China?!
Then, he heard a cold voice coming from the door.

"Yes, you are the best among the new recruits this time."

　Ah, it’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass!
