Chapter 255 - 254: Back to Normal

Necromancer?

No, that’s not right.

This should be a Tier Seven position. According to the ranking provided by the head, the position of Priest should belong to Tier Seven.

Following the division of the entire Extraordinary System, Tier Seven is mainly categorized by Combat Attributes, based on the characteristics of the previous two tiers, marking the threshold for an Extraordinary to reach maturity, with a significant leap in ability.

The head then said:

"He is lowering his position to make his current tier perfect, but the downside is that he will lose the characteristics of his original position. In other words, he is now half a Tier Seven Extraordinary."

The girl’s expression constantly changed from mature to naive, in a daze on the spot, with a struggle flashing in her eyes.

Zhu Wenwu struggled to get up and looked gravely at the girl, moving toward Su Changxing: "Her ability is very bizarre. I felt like I was hit by a car just now."

The opponent’s ability was beyond his imagination, hitting him from a distance out of thin air.

Su Changxing noticed that the person in the red dress was not completely dead, but he could already feel slight changes in the surrounding space, seemingly stabilized.

He was pondering what to do next. His attack methods were not very useful against the girl, who possessed some ability to dodge bullets.

Moreover, it seemed that he was likely not her opponent, but there was no choice. If they were to fight, he could only activate his dormant status and brave it.

The girl came to her senses, looked at Su Changxing, and smiled: "Well, you count as saving me, hmm, I won’t kill you."

She walked toward the person in red, lifted his body with one hand, and walked towards the wall. Her speed was not fast, and the friction sound of dragging was exceptionally clear.

When approaching the wall, her and the red-dressed person’s body turned into transparent phantoms, glowing green, as if they didn’t exist, merging into the wall.

Is this the ability of a Necromancer?

"Did she leave?"

Zhu Wenwu was dumbfounded watching.

Su Changxing’s expression was unusually heavy. If the opponent planned to directly kill them, that would be normal. Leaving like this seemed somewhat strange.

That distant voice sounded again.

"She doesn’t plan to spare you. Hehe, without my help, you would definitely die here today, hmm, I can guarantee. And wasn’t finding me about seeking help?"

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said frankly: "There’s nothing that needs helping, just your will making the space a bit more stable. Although the purpose seems achieved, the result doesn’t seem ideal."

"······"

The voice fell into long silence and then said: "Did you use the exchange ritual for this?"

Su Changxing immediately retorted: "What else?"

Having spent more time with the head, he no longer felt any reverence for these unknown existences, knowing they couldn’t do anything to him, so he became bolder.

The unknown existence said somewhat speechlessly: "You can perform a simpler ritual for space stabilization."

Is that so?

Su Changxing hesitated for a moment and said quietly: "I don’t know how, just know this one, sorry for the trouble, if there’s any disturbance, my apologies."

The unknown existence laughed: "Didn’t expect you to be quite courteous. If not making a deal, you should at least give me a bit of offering."

Offering?

Su Changxing thought for a bit and said: "I don’t have much else, would you want a corpse?"

The unknown existence answered sarcastically: "What would I do with that, can’t eat it."

"Is that so? That’s true."

Su Changxing sighed and said casually: "I have two bottles of wine here, do you want them?"

He brought these two bottles of inferior wine from Huang Biao.

The unknown existence asked in puzzlement: "Wine? What is that?"

Su Changxing guessed it might be called differently, took two bottles of wine out of his backpack, and said: "You’ll know what it is when you see it. I give you the wine, and how about ending the ritual?"

"Alright."

Immediately, the two bottles of wine disappeared within the white scratches, and the whispers in the room, along with the feeling of being watched, also vanished.

"Isn’t it a bit too easy to dismiss?"

Su Changxing murmured.

The head said grumpily: "I told you earlier, right? Don’t make a deal with it. Even if you don’t offer anything, the ritual will disappear when time is up."

"Wouldn’t that be freeloading? Besides, we did ask for help, and me contributing an offering unilaterally shouldn’t count as a transaction······at most a gift."

Su Changxing said casually.

The room fell into silence, with only Zhu Wenwu’s panting audible, indicating his tension.

Su Changxing turned his head to look at him and said: "Are you seriously injured? She probably left temporarily, our goal was also achieved."

Zhu Wenwu then carefully sensed his body’s status and said: "No problem, that attack didn’t injure me."

Su Changxing observed Zhu Wenwu and nodded: "Mm, the space should be back to normal now. Let’s leave here first."

The surrounding space was no longer in that floating and uncertain dynamic state, seeming to flow every moment, but steadied like walking on solid ground.

The two walked out, and voices of discussion came from outside the door. Due to the exchange ritual, another small space had formed in the room, with inside and outside completely isolated. They didn’t know the situation outside.

Zhou An saw the two coming out and hurried to meet them, saying: "Brother Su, screams are coming from the stairwell side, probably from those Hunters, they should be nearby."

Su Changxing also heard faint screams from the stairwell, but very softly, others didn’t hear. Zhou An’s hearing was exceptionally keen because of his position, so he noticed first.

He didn’t think much, shouting: "Now the space should be back to normal, let’s get ready to leave here. Zhou An, contact others from different places to move towards the stairwell."

Zhou An nodded in understanding, then said: "Qian Runwei and the others can be contacted now; earlier, they were indeed in an alternate space, losing signal."

Hearing the news of being able to leave, many looked exhilarated.

Yu Jieyi suddenly asked: "Aren’t we going to eliminate the remaining Hunters? Isn’t this what we’ve worked hard for?"

Su Changxing looked at her and said affirmatively: "The situation has changed, we’re in a very dangerous state, leaving here is the best choice."

Briefly explaining, he led the group quickly down the corridor.

The space no longer had that distorted change; however, the screams grew more intense, as if those people were tormented.

Zhou An shivered involuntarily, looked at Zhu Wenwu beside him, and asked:

"What happened to you inside? The space seemed normal after you went in for a while."
