Chapter 245 The Domain of Ashes

"You want to kill me?"

Hearing Annan's words, Professor Hui was not only not angry, but laughed out loud: "Do you want to swing the knife at the shadow, or punch the memory of the past?

"Or, I've said so much, but you still don't understand... my essence?"

"Of course I know."

Annan said calmly: "You are the old hatred put down by the gray craftsman, a memory suspended in the upper reaches of the long river of time. Compared with the present world we live in, you are just a projection hanging on the wall."

"You don't know very well."

Professor Hui smiled and said: "So, you plan to destroy the projection on the wall?"

"What I want to destroy is of course your essence that existed in the [past]."

Annan replied.

Hearing this statement, the smile on Professor Hui's face faded a lot.

"If you can do it," he raised his hand, "then you might as well... Come and try."

Professor Hui said so, and snapped his fingers lightly.

The crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed in the air, and the whole world instantly became quiet.

With him as the center, a gray field suddenly spread to the surroundings. It's like a color photo or a screen that suddenly turns black and white.

Except for Annan and Neusser, the others seemed to be frozen inside, motionless.

—their time was stopped.

Although Annan and Neusel were still able to move—a pure white light shone around Annan, enveloping him like a flexible shell.

And the bones in Niussel's body shone with a dark red light... That light even penetrated the skin, and it could be directly observed with the naked eye without any equipment.

However, although Niusel was not directly frozen by this gray area, his actions were still very difficult. It's like moving through a viscous syrup, and the whole person seems to be entangled.

Niusel raised his head vigorously, the blood vessels in his neck and forehead burst out.

even so,

He could barely see a vague figure floating behind Professor Hui.

——This is probably something that no one has ever seen before... the noble avatar belonging to Professor Hui.

"That is……"

Niusser was stunned.

The posture of that sublime false body is so distorted that it even makes people feel "painful".

It looks like an indistinct human male.

But it's not blurry because of the lack of purity of the sublime persona--it's like a photograph that has been rubbed repeatedly to blur the face, or a portrait that has been soaked in water and the ink is gradually smearing.

If you look closely, you can only vaguely see a "boy" composed of broken and reconstructed geometric bodies in this blur, just like Picasso's "Fernand Head".

Based on intuition and structure alone, it can be roughly deduced that it should be a teenager.

He has gray hair similar to Professor Gray, but he is not as old as Professor Gray's figure.

The pupils of that "boy" were also gray, but they were not the mercury-like dark gray of Professor Hui... but warm and soft pupils with gradient colors like gray agate.

The "boy" has thin shoulders and even thinner arms, and lowers his head as if shy. Its left arm tightly grasped Professor Gray's shoulder in front of him, while its outstretched, equally broken and blurred right arm was holding a hanging pocket watch.

It is all over the body, only the silver-gray pocket watch is very clear. Even in the gray and silent field, there was still a loud rattling reed.

That is the only sound in this silent world.

The pocket watch held up by the "boy" initially displayed the position of "0:0:15".

Annan, who didn't notice the danger, just stood aside, watching everything calmly; while Niwusel was struggling to walk towards Professor Hui... But in this glue-like viscous field, within fifteen seconds, The time is really too short.

Niusser just struggled to take two steps forward, and the time was completely exhausted.

As time goes backwards, the second hand rotates counterclockwise one by one... and when all the hands return to zero.

The four players who were completely soaked in gray turned into ashes silently.

The frozen time around returned to normal in an instant, and the quiet atmosphere was also broken.

Niursel lost his strength for a moment, and simply yelled and bumped into it——Professor Hui just smiled and stretched out his right hand forward, signaling [stop] as if directing traffic, and the boundless ash formed in front of him. There was a barrier.

Niussel's ferocious shoulder bump, in turn, made his own body unable to bear the pressure and almost shattered.

His muscles deformed and disintegrated under the tremendous force, his bones creaked and creaked, and there were streaks of purple-red traces like spider webs under his skin—that was soaked blood.

He immediately grunted and was instantly sent flying back.

When flying over Annan, he was deprived of excess kinetic energy by Annan, and finally stabilized his figure. Otherwise, judging by the momentum, I'm afraid he could directly crash through the wall and fly back backwards.

Annan could see clearly that it was not a simple defense... nor was it an ability to "offset the damage and double it back".

Niussel just ran forward with all his strength—when the speed of time flow was suddenly restored and he couldn't stop the car, he changed to a shoulder collision. He didn't use much strength in the first place.

Being able to injure Niussel who is holding the holy skeleton severely in an instant is definitely not something that can be done with double or double counterattack power.

If Annan guessed correctly...

This should be related to Niussel's previous actions in that gray area.

His every move became extremely viscous and difficult... These powers should all be stored by Professor Hui through some means, and turned into Professor Hui's own temporarily stored power.

In the end, when Niwusel was about to attack Professor Gray, they were all bounced back. That was precisely using Niusel's power to instantly severely injure Niwusel himself.

Although I don't know the reason for it yet, but the performance is roughly like this ability.

In other words, do you want to stop immediately when you are covered by gray areas?

Sounds a bit like a one-two-three wooden man...

The four players who had been silently turned into ashes before, were brought together by countless firefly-like light spots as if time had flown back, and they were resurrected on the spot again.

"Fuck, what happened?"

"...Strange, am I amnesia?"

"Why did I suddenly die suddenly with a snap of my fingers? Are you Thanos?"

From the complaints of the players, Annan immediately noticed that the players bound by that gray domain did not retain any memory at all.

In other words, this should be the ability of the time system——

Annan paused.

"...It's [Memories], right?"

He said softly: "You turned them into dust and returned the power that Niussel was 'taken from history' back to yourself, this is the power of the [Memory] domain.

"It's nice to say that you want to destroy the truth of memories and take revenge on Graysmith... But aren't you still using Graysmith's ability?"
