66: Chapter 66 The Origin of Forbidden Items, Fragments of Rules
As those walls continuously emerged, the originally frenzied Projection of The Shy One suddenly stopped its roaring.
But Lin Chuan did not believe that the Sequence 96 Projection of The Shy One would truly be trapped by this S-rank Tier 3 Labyrinth Taboo!
One must know, even if The Shy One descending into this world was just a Projection, it was not something the Sequence 233 Labyrinth Taboo could even hope to compare to!!
Sure enough, in the next second.
Lin Chuan saw the Projection of The Shy One's massive, mournful mouth slowly close.
In its place, in the center of its face, the originally blank skin began to writhe and tear violently.
A delicate, frail, yet infinitely eerie face slowly emerged.
That face looked like a gaunt youth, and also like a malnourished short-haired girl.
Ordinary, without any distinguishing features.
But the moment this face appeared.
Rumble!!!
The surrounding Void Realm seemed to be violently kneaded by an invisible giant hand, beginning to twist and fold intensely.
A Taboo Domain, terrifying to the extreme, instantly expanded with it as the center!
Within a radius of a thousand miles, everything was shrouded in a distorted, eerie rule that seemed to be constructed from musical notes.
Those notes jumped and screamed in the air, emitting bursts of noise that made the Soul tremble.
Immediately after.
On The Shy One's lanky, pale body, dense human faces suddenly grew!
Every single face looked exactly like the delicate face on its own countenance!
They writhed, screamed, and wept under the skin... "Ah—!!!"
Countless overlapping screams transformed into a physical wave of murmuring sound, violently slamming against the surrounding labyrinth walls.
Rumble!!!
The incredibly hard labyrinth walls, under the impact of this sound wave, actually began to crack inch by inch, turning into dust that filled the sky.
Lin Chuan, far away in the Rebirth Temple, clearly saw this scene through the perspective of the Blood Crow Servant.
He also saw... that face!
Buzz!!
Lin Chuan only felt a sudden shock deep within his consciousness.
A feeling of being locked on by the God of Death instantly surged into his heart.
[Warning! You have triggered the SSS-Rank Taboo rule — Gazing upon the True Form!]
[You have been marked by the SSS-rank Tier 1 Taboo Old Master, The Shy One!!]
[It will cross space and time, at any cost, to hunt you to the ends of the earth!]
[Please be prepared, Master!]
On the panel, segments of warning information suddenly popped up!
"Marked just like that?"
Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't care too much.
Even without being marked, he intended to actively hunt and devour this Projection of The Shy One.
As for its main body? In any case, for a short time, a true SSS-Rank Taboo still could not descend into this world!
While Lin Chuan was thinking... Crack!!
A crisp sound of bone snapping rang out!
He saw the Blood Crow Servant he was controlling suddenly affected by the rules of The Shy One's Projection; it let out a mournful cry, and its body instantly exploded.
The vision Lin Chuan could see was also instantly interrupted.
"The Blood Crow Servant is still too weak..."
"To scout a taboo-level existence, it seems I need to exchange for more Advanced items."
"Or... exchange for a reconnaissance-type rule!"
"But exchanging for Rule Abilities requires consuming fear value!"
"The fear value that ordinary humans can provide is still too limited."
"I wonder... if taboos can feel fear!!"
Thinking of this, in the stone eyes of Lin Chuan's golden body Buddha statue, bloody tears flowed down, flickering with an eerie Chaos evil light!
The next moment, his Teleportation rule activated!
Buzz!!
Space shattered.
Lin Chuan's hideous and terrifying evil buddha golden body instantly disappeared from the Rebirth Temple... A moment later.
North of Rebirth City, far beyond Qinglong Prefecture.
Above a massive, undulating labyrinth.
The Void Realm fluctuated slightly.
Lin Chuan's figure descended silently.
He did not directly reveal his true form, but instead used the concealment ability of the First Layer Taboo Domain to hide himself deep within the clouds.
Below, two taboos were engaged in a fierce confrontation.
After revealing its true face and expanding its Taboo Domain, The Shy One's Projection began to rampage through the labyrinth.
Its slender arms waved like sharp blades, and with every swing, they could easily slice through the labyrinth walls.
And that Labyrinth Taboo was also constantly suppressing and attempting to devour it!
Its walls constantly moved and reorganized, trapping The Shy One's Projection in dead ends time and again.
Furthermore, on the walls of the labyrinth, countless eerie large mouths appeared, frantically gnawing at the rule power radiating from The Shy One's Projection.
The Shy One's Projection also grew increasingly frenzied.
Gradually, that massive labyrinth even showed faint signs of collapsing!
"Interesting..."
In the clouds, Lin Chuan watched this scene with great interest.
Just as he planned to wait for the two taboos to reach a further stalemate before directly taking action to suppress and devour them, turning them into nourishment.
Suddenly.
Lin Chuan sensed several unusual auras lurking in the distance!
Those were all... the auras of living people!
"Hmm?"
Lin Chuan's 360-degree vision expanded, locking onto a mountain peak not far from the Labyrinth Taboo.
There, several figures wearing black uniforms were lying in wait.
Lin Chuan was very familiar with the clothes they wore.
Those were exactly the uniforms of the Great Xin Dynasty's Ghost Suppression Department!!
"Five people in total."
"All A-Rank Ghost Controllers."
"Especially that woman in the lead..."
Lin Chuan's gaze fell upon the woman wearing a wide straw hat and a black trench coat.
She was very beautiful, with delicate features and a sharp, proud temperament.
But what surprised Lin Chuan was... within her body, she actually controlled five whole A-rank Abnormalities!
Moreover, the auras of these five Abnormalities were perfectly fused, forming an extremely stable balance.
"Han Ziwei..."
Lin Chuan noticed a tag hanging on the woman's chest, which had her name written on it.
Of course, that might also just be her code name.
At this moment.
These people were closely watching the battle deep within the labyrinth through special observation equipment.
"Captain, they've started fighting!"
A man with a buzz cut said excitedly.
"That taboo codenamed The Shy One is truly terrifying! To actually be able to suppress the Labyrinth Taboo, which is also a Tier 3 taboo..."
"Nonsense!"
Han Ziwei gave him a cold glance.
"That is a Projection of an SSS-Rank Taboo..."
"If we hadn't lured it here and used the Labyrinth Taboo's special rules to suppress it, this single Projection alone would be enough to destroy the Great Xin Dynasty countless times!!"
"Captain is wise!"
The buzz-cut man hurriedly flattered her.
"But... Captain, can we really get that thing?"
Another woman, who looked somewhat worried, asked.
"That is a taboo, after all..."
"Don't worry."
A hint of confidence and ambition flashed in Han Ziwei's eyes.
"As long as they continue their stalemate, it will be our chance."
"According to intelligence, the Projection of The Shy One is unstable."
"Once it is heavily damaged, it is very likely to collapse, thereby dropping a part of its main body's Rule Fragments, which are what we need... Taboo Items!"
Speaking of this, her breathing became somewhat rapid.
"As long as I get a Taboo Item formed from 'Rule Fragments'..."
"I can use the latest Fusion technology to become a true... Taboo Master!"
"When that time comes, I will surely surpass Ning Shou!"
"If he can become a Taboo Master, so can I!"
