Windsor's voice was as sharp as a blade, piercing people's eardrums and making their hearts tremble involuntarily. Her eyes widened, filled with unspeakable fear, and her pupils expanded to the limit, swallowing up the entire whites of her eyes. She

His face was as pale as paper, and thin beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, like tears of fear.

The lights in the casino looked even dimmer, as if they were frightened by the girl's frightened voice.

Martin looked at the terrifying Windsor, and without hesitation activated the [Imprisonment Cube] in his hand. The color of the Rubik's Cube changed, turning into deep darkness, full of mystery and weirdness, and the moment he activated his ability

, the whole world suddenly stopped.

"Buzz——"

The roar of thunder and the countdown of the clock sounded at the same time.

"Time Slot——"

"Time Warp·Pause!"

Tick-tick~tick-tick~

In the bustling casino, time seemed to be suddenly torn apart, and the entire scene was frozen in a moment of silence.

People's movements, expressions, and even the raised dice are all frozen in this fleeting time.

The gorgeous gambling table, gorgeous lights, and laid out cards seemed to be tightly squeezed by a huge invisible hand, stagnating at this moment.

The colorful world was stripped away, and the whole world turned into an old and monotonous movie quality.

People in the casino assumed various postures. Some people's mouth corners were slightly raised, enjoying the joy of victory; some people's faces became nervous and they were hesitating whether to place a bet; some people were holding chips in their hands and were preparing to invest.

gambling.

These gestures have been eternally continued in this picture where time has stopped, as if it were a frozen painting.

The playing cards are suspended in the air, like a shining beam of light. The suits, colors and numbers on the playing cards are magnified to the limit, and the subtle textures are also clearly presented. The small ball on the roulette table seems to be frozen in the bouncing

The highest point, suspended there, waiting for time to recover.

The only people with color in the casino were a young man with blond hair and golden eyes, and the purple Time Demon behind him.

The twisted Möbius strip flashed past Xia Xiu's feet, and in an instant, he crossed the long spiral steps and came to a man and a woman.

An anxious look appeared on the boy's face, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes stared straight ahead, his lips opened slightly, as if he was about to say something, but his voice was frozen in time and could not be conveyed. His body

He leaned forward slightly, as if he was ready to face a sudden change at any time. However, the stasis of time prevented him from taking any action and could only struggle in this frozen time.

Opposite him, the girl's expression was completely different. Her eyes were wide open, full of horror and fear. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to scream, but the sound could not come out. Her face was as pale as

Paper, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead were shining, as if shed due to the tremendous pressure and fear in her heart. Her hands tightly grasped the boy's arm, as if trying to seek some comfort and support from the fearful predicament.

.

Tick~

Xia Xiu stretched out his right hand and casually opened a goblet that was floating and frozen in front of the two of them. Then, [Sisyphus] jumped out from behind him and gently touched their abdomens.

With one punch, their bodies bent into a weird angle, curling up like shrimps.

Their eyes were wide open, their mouths were slightly open, but they couldn't make a sound.

[Sisyphus] really punched twice lightly and at least withheld 99% of his strength. Otherwise, with the mortal bodies of these two people, they might have been beaten into blood mist and bones.

No existence.

While [Sisyphus] was teaching the naughty child, Xia Xiu had already reached out and took the so-called [Prison Rubik's Cube] from Martin's hand. As a good student who had studied [Abnormal Art Subject] in Luyuan, he had done a lot on this Rubik's Cube.

Familiar thaumaturgic encodings are perceived.

However, the encoding level of this Rubik's Cube is very high, and the ether solidified and connected inside it is too huge.

This is no longer abnormal art, but a genuine high-risk abnormal control item.

When Xia Xiu's fingertips touched the [Imprisonment Cube], crazy and twisted illusions began to appear. The colorful blocks quickly rotated in his hands, making a low buzzing sound, as if chanting an incomprehensible sound.

Movement.

Xia Xiu quickly understood the meaning above, and he began to restore the Rubik's Cube unhurriedly.

At this moment, 9.94 seconds have passed in the stagnant world.

Tick~

With the last huge countdown sound, the whole world began to become colorful again.

Time resumes its flow again.

Boom~

Boom~

Time began to flow again, and with a loud noise, the bodies of the boy and the girl seemed to be ejected, hitting the wall and door behind the casino room. The wall and door shook violently, as if they were about to be penetrated by their impact.

, making a dull sound. Their bodies hit the wall like stones, and then slid heavily to the ground, leaving obvious scratches on the trajectory of the bounce.

The boy and girl's faces became paler, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads. The pain spread from their abdomens, making them almost unable to breathe. They held their stomachs tightly and groaned, trying to relieve the sudden pain.

of severe pain.

"Uh, what's going on... Rubik's Cube..."

Martin coughed up blood, endured the burning pain inside, and asked a confused question.

"Windsor..., you...are you okay..."

Martin looked at Windsor aside, and his eyes froze. He had never seen Windsor with such a twisted and ferocious face.

Fear and horror flowed in Windsor's eyes, her pupils dilated, and the edges of her pupils seemed to be lit by invisible will-o'-wisps, shining with an unsettling light.

Her lips trembled and the corners of her mouth were slightly opened, as if she wanted to shout, but was tightly suppressed by an invisible force, and she could only utter a few unclear roars. The blood on her face receded, leaving a pale, paper-like bottom.

The color made her face even more ferocious and terrifying.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, pouring out from the pores of her skin as if aroused by the emotion of fear. Her skin became tight due to fear, as if it might be pulled apart by an indescribable force at any time.

Come.

"Three hundred and sixty-five thousand eyes, whose face is brighter than the sun... Infinite eternal recurrence, Möbius strip, ah, it is you, you are the twisted one, the intersection of abyss and stars,

You are the embodiment of the unknown and secret; you are one sided, but endless. Your twisted ring is like the river of time, leading us to the endless future; on your ring, time and space are distorted, dimensions are inverted, horror and joy

Fusion in the ineffable..."

Windsor held his head with both hands and kowtowed madly forward, his head bleeding from the intoxication.

The noise here is so loud, but no one in the casino seems to have noticed it, as if this is a place isolated from reality.

"Windsor! Windsor!!!" Martin wanted to stop Windsor from abusing himself, but his injury did not allow him to do so.

"Holy! Holy! Holy!!!" Windsor's face became even more crazy.

"What happened to you...?"

Martin only felt a sense of absurdity at this moment. He had just started to activate the Rubik's Cube, and then the person flew out and the Rubik's Cube disappeared.

And even more absurd things were still happening. A young man with blond hair and golden eyes stood in front of the two of them at some point. He was playing with a twisted Rubik's Cube as if nothing had happened. It was... [The Imprisoned Rubik's Cube].

Martin saw the blond young man playing with the Rubik's Cube while striding towards the crazy and frightened Windsor. A terrifying purple-gold figure floated out of the blond young man's body like a spirit behind him. The purple-gold figure stretched out his huge right hand and pressed on Windsor.

on the head, and then, the crazy girl began to calm down and fell into a deep sleep.

"The design of this [indulgence coupon] is quite unreasonable. Isn't it equipped with an automatic switch and a threshold protection valve? With such high spiritual perception, even the [reverse reality] and [reverse reality] of the [Mobius strip]

[Metatron] can see it. These [elements] are not something that normal people can see. She is no longer as simple as seeking death. In Terra, it is not that the more things you see, the more powerful you are;

On the contrary, the less you can see, the longer you may live.”

The blond young man looked at Windsor and murmured to himself. Martin felt that the other person said it to him on purpose. He vaguely felt that the less he saw, the longer he would live. It was him who said that.

"You...are you..." Martin endured the pain and struggled to ask the blond young man. At this moment, his internal organs seemed to be rolling in magma, and the pain was indescribable and unbearable.

The heat and pain were like poisonous snakes, wrapping around every corner of the body, not sparing an inch of flesh.

Even in this situation, Martin still retained a glimmer of hope. His eyes were always fixed on the opponent's hand that was solving the Rubik's Cube.

Snap——

With a crisp sound, Xia Xiu had restored the Rubik's Cube, and Martin's eyes glowed with excitement, the opportunity to fight back...

"You seem to be very excited because after I restore the Rubik's Cube, what mechanism will trigger it? For example, I will force you to hold it for a period of time and keep playing with it to satisfy its wolf-like hunger. Otherwise, you will suffer

Have you seen its backlash? Or does it have other more interesting mechanisms?" The holder of [Hand of Supreme], the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven, asked Martin with a curious look on his face, his eyes dull.

"···ah?"

The blond young man threw the Rubik's Cube in his hand and continued:

"It seems that I guessed it right. After the Rubik's Cube is restored, there are mandatory conditions. These abnormally high-risk items are always like this. None of them have relatively normal driving conditions, or they are all kinds of strange, or they are dissatisfied with their desires, or they are unreasonable...

, none of them are good tools that can settle down.”

"You...what are you..."

"Well, you ask me who I am, but my ineffective subordinates have been entrusted with your care. The work progress has not progressed at all. Instead, they all went to the hospital for vacation due to illness. However, there has not been any attrition on their side.

It seems that the composition of the [Salvation Army] is more complicated than I imagined, and there are also simple brats. So, don’t worry, I won’t kill you, at least not now." Xia Xiu faced
