Chapter 75 Under the City (Please Subscribe! Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
Chen She controlled Grantham to walk in the streets of Dawn City.
After changing his identity, he suddenly had a brand new feeling when looking at Dawn City again.
Before, Chen She had been trying to observe the world from the perspective of an ordinary person. He founded Lishan Technology and opened an experience store in a relatively chaotic neighborhood. He also dealt with these small vendors and gangsters and helped many homeless people.
But no matter what, he still had a lot of barriers with the bottom of the world.
Sometimes, a person's identity is a natural transparent barrier that cannot be crossed 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, which was like a paradise, more and more chaotic and disordered scenes appeared in front of Chen She.
It turned out that Chen She did not dare to be too reckless for his own safety and had to act under the protection of Zhang Sirui, but now he can act boldly by controlling Grantham, his servant.
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 the current state of the Space-Time Knights' branch in Dawn City is.
Chen She came to a very remote corner, where garbage was everywhere. Except for the occasional homeless people who came to pick up trash, everyone else stayed away.
There are many such corners in Dawn City. Although the prosperous area in the core of this city is worth every inch of land, there are many corners on its border that should be demolished and rebuilt. The corners that are still in the wasteland until now have finally become a paradise for homeless people.
There is a special logo of the Space-Time Knights painted on the wall, and there are many such logos in the dark alleys of this city.
Chen She manipulated Grantham to put his right hand on it, and used his synesthesia to connect with this special logo. Then Chen She felt that part of the synesthesia in his body was consumed, and a narrow space-time rift appeared in front of him.
Chen She hurriedly stepped in.
Many professions with synesthesia can create space-time rifts and travel briefly in the void. For example, the professional time traveler of pure synaesthesia is very powerful in this regard. The higher the level of energy fluctuation, the longer the distance traveled by using the time and space rift. And professions like assassins and ghost walkers combine time and space rifts with assassination abilities, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, killing people invisibly.
This special sign is not only a 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.
Like other mega cities on the old land, Dawn City was newly built shortly after the emergence of time and space activities. So compared to the old cities on the old land that have disappeared in the time snow. These new mega cities have made many special plans at the beginning of construction.
Dawn City has a large underground space, which is not only for better drainage effect and avoiding various possible risks. At the same time, the possibility of developing underground was originally planned.
After all, under the threat of time snow, it is better to live in the dark underground city than to die.
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, even if more high-rise buildings are built on the ground, it will not be possible to accommodate so many new populations.
And there are many restrictions on expanding the energy barrier covering big cities, or continuing to expand the scale of big cities and satellite cities.
So at the beginning of the planning, a lot of space was left in the underground part of these cities for future use.
However, in the more than 100 years since the construction of Dawn City was completed, the population of Dawn City has not shown a significant increase, and even declined in some years.
Obviously, the original builders overestimated the fertility desire of people in this city and underestimated people's yearning for the ground and sunlight.
As long as these people have a little way, they will never live in the dark underground city.
At the beginning, there were indeed some residents in the underground area, and they maintained good contact with the ground. But not long after, this area began to inevitably decline and the connection with the ground became increasingly severed. There was no public security and not enough supplies, and most people withdrew from the underground area.
In order to prevent the underground area from becoming a hotbed for various criminal organizations, Dawn City decided to seal off several major entrances and completely abandon this area.
But sealing off the entrances could not stop the Space-Time Knights.
Obviously, the Space-Time Knights made the underground area in the city their branch, where they secretly plotted various dangerous activities.
Chen She couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: "An organization like a rat, controlling space-time creatures like rats, and living in underground sewers like rats. Tell me, what do you think deserves the three words Knights?"
He continued to move forward according to Grantham's memory and the guidance of the symbols on the wall. During this period, he also opened up space-time rifts through marks one by one and passed through some specific nodes.
Finally, he came to a relatively wide underground space.
This looks like a magnificent underground square. Apparently, the designers wanted to avoid giving the residents of the underground city the impression of darkness and narrowness at the beginning of the construction, so they reserved some magnificent spaces for emergency use.
However, all these efforts were in vain. After all, it was difficult for people at that time to imagine what the old land would look like 100 years later.
There was no light from the ground inside the underground city, but there were many wall lamps for high-energy fuel as lighting. At this time, Chen She felt like he had come to the old times more than 100 years ago from modern society.
Obviously, the Knights of Time and Space prefer to associate with time and space creatures, and they don't care much about the various high technologies of modern society.
If they were not afraid of causing panic, Chen She suspected that they would even wear black cloaks and lead time and space creatures to swagger through the streets when they went out.
Chen She stopped because he felt someone coming in the shadows in front of him.
"Priest?" The knight's voice was full of surprise.
Chen She recognized him instantly through Grantham's memory.
This knight is called Coker. He is the strongest knight left by Grantham in the Spacetime Knights branch, and a spacetime traveler with level 3 energy fluctuations.
When Grantham attacked the Fujitang Group base, although he brought the powerful combat power of the entire branch, he must have left some stronger people to guard the base. After all, there are still many spacetime particles, various materials, and believers who were not brought to the battlefield.
But Chen She felt a hint of something unusual.
So he asked, "Where is Joyce?"
Joyce is Grantham's follower. Every time he goes to the experience store, Grantham will take him with him, which is enough to show Grantham's trust in him.
Coker hurriedly said, "Some accidents happened during your absence, Master Priest. A member lost control while practicing summoning space-time creatures. Joyce was injured to stop him and can't come to greet you now."
"I don't know how this operation went. What about the others?"
Chen She said lightly, "The operation was successful. We made some necessary sacrifices for the great goal."
Coker lowered his head: "May we meet in the space-time world."
Chen She continued to move forward, and Coker followed behind him very respectfully.
Going along the long underground passage, Chen She saw more members of the Space-Time Knights.
There were a large number of kidnapped homeless people crowded in a very small space. They sat on the ground with confused eyes, like corpses without souls.
Although there were not many knights left in the entire Space-Time Knights branch, nor were there many truly powerful followers left, these homeless people still did not dare to make any resistance. After all, any knight here could kill them all without any effort.
"Priest, Joyce is inside." Coker said very respectfully.
Chen She stepped in, but found that the so-called Joyce did not emit any light blue light. He had turned into a corpse.
At this time, Coker, who was following Chen She, had disappeared.
The other two knights and the remaining 20 or so believers surrounded Chen She.
Coker's dull voice came from the void: "Gransome, I didn't expect you to come back alive. The wisest thing for you to do is to escape immediately. I didn't expect you to fall into the trap."
"I said it was a stupid plan, but you insisted on doing it for the space-time particles. Now that you are on the verge of losing control, how much power do you have left? Is it a second-level energy fluctuation or a third-level energy fluctuation?"
"You should die in the base of Fujido Group."
"But it doesn't matter. Since you are unwilling to go to the space-time world, let us send you to the space-time world ourselves."
Chen She couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the Space-Time Knights were not a monolithic group.
Grantham took the elite forces of the entire branch to the base of the Fujido Group and buried them all there. After three consecutive days of no news, Coker and the two knights who remained in the branch thought of replacing him.
Although Grantham could also see the connection between time and space like Chen She, his profession was a manipulator after all, not a curse scholar. When encountering people who also mastered the ability of synesthesia, this kind of observation would be seriously disturbed.
What's more, people can change.
After Grantham disappeared, Coker had already replaced him, and even joined forces with others to kill Joyce who supported Grantham.
At this time, Grantham suddenly returned and his strength was seriously damaged. Coker obviously had no other choice but to make Grantham disappear completely and make himself the new priest of Dawn City.
Chen She didn't expect that he would be welcomed like this as soon as he arrived at the branch of the Space-Time Knights, but fortunately he had made full psychological preparations in advance.
The strength of these two knights is not strong, only the second level of energy fluctuation. They have summoned space-time creatures from the space-time rift.
These two space-time creatures are similar in size to hounds, and also have the second level of energy fluctuation.
It is a rather unoriginal fighting method, but it is also normal. After all, the most capable person in the entire branch has been taken away by Grantham and buried in the base of the Fujido Group.
Chen She also waved his hand casually, and a miniature space-time rift appeared at his feet. A space-time creature similar to a mouse came out of the rift. And put on a ferocious posture.
The two knights on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Because this was too much of a contrast with their expectations.
As a manipulator, Grantham originally controlled space-time creatures of level 5 or even level 6. The oppressive feeling after the behemoth was summoned was suffocating. It would definitely make the two knights kneel on the ground and tremble.
As a result, Grantham's power was severely damaged, and he only summoned such a weak mouse, which really made people laugh.
But their smiles soon solidified on their faces, because when the little mouse pounced on them, they suddenly realized that the mouse was not a space-time creature with level 1 energy fluctuations in their cognition, but a level 3 energy fluctuation!
This matter was very bizarre and beyond their cognition.
Because all space-time creatures are naturally formed in the space-time world, the controller cannot create them out of thin air, and can only summon space-time creatures that meet the conditions from the space-time world.
Space-time creatures of this size are at most level one energy fluctuations.
But what they don’t know is that the space-time creature that Chen She is controlling at this time is not summoned from the space-time world, but the one that defeated the monster with Grantham in his spiritual world.
In other words, this space-time creature that exists in Chen She’s consciousness world will have the same energy fluctuation level as Grantham once it comes to reality. It can appear in the form of a mouse, or it can become the same level as its energy fluctuation. Of course, its strength will not change fundamentally.
The two knights realized that something was wrong, and they hurriedly drove their space-time creatures to stop the little mouse, but the little mouse turned very flexibly in the air. Then it bit one of the space-time creatures and killed it with one blow!
Space-time creatures are special life forms composed of space-time materials. For humans, conventional means of attack, whether guns or cold weapons, can cause a certain degree of damage to them, but it is difficult to kill them with one blow.
But this situation does not exist for the battle between space-time creatures.
This little mouse is more flexible than everyone imagined. He jumped up and down like lightning, and killed the other two space-time creatures before they could react.
Then the little mouse jumped again and rushed to a certain position in the air.
At this moment, a miniature space-time rift appeared in the air, and a cry came from behind the rift.
Chen She said lightly: "Come out, otherwise you will die in the space-time rift."
A space-time rift appeared in front of him, and Coker walked out tremblingly. The little mouse lay on his shoulder, staring at his throat at all times.
As a space-time traveler, Coker can hide himself with space-time rifts, but his body is still fragile. No matter how deep his understanding of space-time rifts is, it will not be stronger than space-time creatures. After all, for space-time creatures, space-time rifts and space-time worlds are where they live. This is an instinct.
Of course, not every member of the Knights who controls space-time creatures can do this. It depends on the affinity between themselves and space-time creatures.
Only the top beastmasters can drive wild beasts to jump through fire hoops and walk on single-plank bridges, and it is good enough for a crappy beastmaster not to be eaten by the lions they raise.
Coker trembled and said, "Priest, I..."
Chen She put his right hand on his forehead and interrupted him: "Don't get me wrong, I let you out of the space-time rift not to let you go, but simply because I don't want your body to be wasted."
