Chapter 666

Lin Yu and Xing hurried towards the treasures of time. The silence along the way became deeper and deeper, with only the hurried footsteps of the two people echoing on the stone road.

Soon, the familiar antique shop came into view, and the sign swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight creaking sound.

The shop door was half-open, letting in a dim light that was out of place with the eerie atmosphere in the square.

Lin Yu and Xing looked at each other, full of vigilance, and then slowly approached.

The moment you push open the door, an old and decayed smell hits you in the face. The store is filled with antiques, pottery jars, wood carvings, and ancient books displayed randomly, yet in a disorganized manner.

"Is anyone there?" Lin Yu shouted in a low voice, but the only response he got was dead silence.

Xing's eyes scanned the store and suddenly pointed to a corner, "Look, there's movement over there."

Deep in the store, a huge wardrobe was shaking slightly, as if something was struggling inside.

The two men quickly drew their weapons and approached cautiously.

When Lin Yu suddenly opened the closet door, a figure rushed out instantly at an extremely fast speed, almost knocking him down.

"Stop!" Xing shouted, and a wall of fire instantly stood up at the door, blocking the figure's way.

The man was stopped by the wall of fire and slowly turned around. It was actually Sitalos.

His eyes were red, his expression was panicked, and he was holding a faintly glowing box in his hand.

"Sitaros, what are you doing?" Lin Yu asked, his eyes falling on the box in his hand.

Sitalos swallowed, his voice trembling, "I...I don't know either. Someone asked me to keep this box and told me not to let anyone find it. But just now, a few weirdos suddenly broke in and insisted on taking it away."

"Open the box."

Sitaros hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the box. Inside was a black tide crystal similar to the one in the bag of the Xuanfeng warrior in the square, except that this one was much larger and emitted a stronger purple light.

"How come this thing is here with you?" Lin Yu frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Sitalos shook his head. "I really don't know. A mysterious person found me and gave me a large sum of money. He asked me to hide the crystal in the store and said that if it was discovered, Ohma City would be in great danger."

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and strange roars coming from outside.

When Lin Yu and Xing heard the noise, their nerves tensed up instantly. They looked at each other, with a flash of fear and confusion in their eyes, and ran towards the window without hesitation.

They leaned their hands on the windowsill and looked out anxiously.

The scene in the square was like a nightmare come true. Those people who were originally unconscious and lying on the ground were now slowly standing up as if pulled by an invisible force.

"This is..." Lin Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his mouth opened wide.

Just as Lin Yu was shocked, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded in the store, echoing in this small antique shop, making people's eardrums hurt.

Lin Yu and Xing turned around quickly, but what they saw was only an empty room, and Sitaros was nowhere to be seen.

Where he originally stood, there was only an open secret door on the wall.

The secret door was half-open, and the passage behind it was pitch black and bottomless.

"What should we do now?" Xing asked anxiously.

"Go out and help!" Lin Yu said firmly without any hesitation.

At the same time, in Kefale Square, March 7, Aglaya and Feng Jin were in this strange atmosphere, full of confusion.

Feng Jin was concentrating on treating a middle-aged woman.

Just as she had bandaged a wound for the woman and was about to conduct further examination, the woman who had been unconscious and lying quietly on the stone slab suddenly stood up slowly without any warning.

Feng Jin was stunned at first, then a hint of surprise surged in his heart, and subconsciously thought that the woman had regained consciousness.

She spoke quickly, with a hint of joy in her voice, and said gently, "Madam, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" However, the woman seemed to be under a spell, standing straight in place, her body as stiff as a cold stone. She turned a deaf ear to Feng Jin's questions and did not respond at all.

Feng Jin felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. She raised her head slightly, her gaze slowly moved upwards, and finally met the woman's eyes.

In an instant, she felt a bone-chilling chill running from the soles of her feet to her head.

The woman's pupils were hollow and lifeless, like two deep dry wells, without a trace of light or life, filled with endless gloom and deathly silence, which made people shudder.

Feng Jin looked around and was shocked to realize that the people who were originally lying on the ground waiting for treatment were now standing up as if being pulled by invisible threads.

Their movements were stiff, like old puppets that had not been used for a long time; every movement seemed so awkward and uncoordinated.

These people had unsteady steps and dragged their heavy steps, moving slowly and aimlessly, emitting unclear growls from time to time, as if they were controlled by some evil force.

The air was filled with a sickening stench that emanated from them, as if it was deeply tainted by death and decay. As they walked, the smell became stronger, almost suffocating.

Aglaya witnessed this extremely strange scene and immediately gave orders loudly.

“Everyone listen up, stop these people, but do not harm their lives!” As she spoke, she raised her hand, and golden threads emerged from her fingertips like nimble snakes, quickly interweaving into a dense net in the air.

These golden threads seemed to have life, trembling slightly, and each thread was connected to those who stood up.

With her unique ability, Aglaya can clearly sense that the breath of life connected to each thread is weak but real. This makes her more certain that these people are not really dead, but have fallen into some terrible unknown state.

At this moment, at the edge of the square, Lin Yu and Xing were running towards this side, their hurried footsteps raising a cloud of dust, their eyes fixed on the chaotic scene in the square, with only one thought in their minds, to join the battle and stop this unknown crisis.

When they arrived at the center of the square, the battle had already begun fiercely.

The guards of Ohma were armed with weapons and were dealing with those people who were behaving strangely.

They followed Lord Aglaya's orders, trying to avoid fatal parts and carefully trying to subdue the men with minimal harm.

Lin Yu rushed into the crowd without any hesitation.

He swung the long sword in his hand, and the blade cut through the air, making a "whoosh" sound. He accurately knocked down the arms of those who tried to attack others, but cleverly avoided the vital points. Every movement demonstrated his superb swordsmanship and precise control of strength.

San Yue Qi assisted from the side. San Yue Qi drew his bow and shot ice arrows, which flew out and landed at the feet of those people.

"Explode!" As March Seventh's words fell, those ice arrows exploded instantly, like sharp blades breaking out of the ground, rising up into ice walls, blocking the way of those who were out of control, trapping them in a specific area, creating favorable conditions for the actions of Xinghe and the guards.

With the concerted efforts of everyone and after a hard and arduous battle, those who had lost control were finally subdued and fell to the ground one after another.

The square was in a mess, with dust flying everywhere. People were panting, their clothes soaked with sweat, and they collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, and Bai'e, Xiadie and Tibao hurried over.

Bai'e quickly scanned the chaotic scene in the square.

Xiadie's expression was also not very good. She frowned and looked at those people who were really incompetent.

Tibao followed behind the two of them, her little face full of nervousness.

Aglaya saw them coming and said, "You are here. This happened too suddenly. We still don't know why these people became like this."

"Die...did you find anything?" Tibao, who was standing aside, looked at Xiadie's solemn expression, full of curiosity, so he asked cautiously.

"Hmm..." Xiadie nodded slightly, her eyes still fixed on the people who fell to the ground. After thinking for a moment, she said, "These people have the breath of death, and their lives are wandering in the Styx. If we don't find a way to save them, these people will die." As she spoke, she unconsciously clenched her fists and exerted force secretly.

"Then... do you have any solution?" Tibao asked again, with a hint of expectation in his voice.

"No..." Xiadie shook her head slowly, a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in her eyes, "I can't even find death. I have no way to eliminate the deathly aura in them." Her tone was full of powerlessness. As a being related to death, she was helpless in the face of the crisis at this moment, which made her feel frustrated.

"But..." Xiadie hesitated, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"But what?" Everyone looked at Xiadie nervously, their eyes full of anticipation.

"But the Styx will seek out death and converge in the empty wilderness to form a road leading to the underworld." Xiadie took a deep breath and said slowly, "When many souls have nowhere to rest, the tides of the Styx will surge to the earth, and Senatos will come in the boat to collect their property in their lifetime and lead them to the afterlife." She paused, her eyes sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, as if she was considering whether to say the rest of the words.

"If we take advantage of this opportunity..." Xiadie didn't say anything more, and her words came to an abrupt end, leaving everyone full of doubts.

Bai'e frowned and was the first to break the silence. "You mean, we should wait for the Styx tide to appear and use the power of Senatos? But this is too risky. No one knows when the Styx tide will come and what consequences it will bring."

"Besides, can you guarantee that death can save the living?"

The square was dead silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiadie.
