Chapter 342: Broken Black Banner [Part ]

This young man was none other than Hu Qi who had returned to his normal appearance.

As he spoke, he looked in front of him and saw a broken black flag floating there.

Above the banner, there were wisps of black smoke curling around, revealing an ominous meaning, as if it was the embodiment of the darkest side of the world.

At this moment, the broken black flag has shrunk to two meters in length.

Hu Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed, as if there was an invisible force pulling him.

The black banner fell into his hands.

Suddenly, a chill spread instantly, as if what he was holding was not a black banner, but a piece of ice that had existed for ten thousand years.

Hu Qi held the black flag in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

The flagpole is made from pieces of spines of unknown black creatures, and it feels like polished jade when held in the hand.

When it shook, a strange whistling sound echoed, and it seemed as if there were thousands of wronged souls laughing grimly.

However, there are several obvious gaps at the corners of the banner.

As Hu Qi refined the banner, some fragmentary information about it flooded into his mind.

Hu Qi didn't know the name and origin of this black flag.

I only obtained the ability information of this broken black flag.

Its ability is called [Spirit Control]

It can capture and imprison souls, devour the emotional power of living beings for its own use, manipulate spirituality, etc...

in short.

In Hu Qi's opinion, the power of this broken black flag is somewhat similar to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that was often seen in novels in his previous life.

But in comparison, the power of this broken black banner is more powerful and comprehensive.

It can control almost anything that is related to the soul.

The dream eyes of this world are all derived from the power of this broken black flag combined with the deepest nightmares in the hearts of all living beings in the world.

The reason why the spiritual world of this world is so stable is because of the ability of this banner: controlling spirits.

As for the origin of this banner, there is no information about it.

Except these.

There is also the memory of a man named 'Sin'.

This person was exactly the figure that appeared when Hu Qi used the Red Sun Flame to refine the broken black banner.

That person is a native of this world.

But in Hu Qi's opinion, he was more like the first man of destiny born in this world.

'Xin' was born a long time ago.

It can even be traced back to the primitive times when people ate raw meat and drank blood.

In that era, the stronger one's physique, the higher one's status within one's own ethnic group.

Because this means that you can get enough food by hunting.

But 'Xin' is an exception.

He is not physically strong, but rather relatively thin.

But he is very smart and good at thinking.

In order to solve the problem of food, fishing nets, spears, bows and arrows were created.
Therefore, he does not need to worry about food at all, and becomes the leader of a tribe.

However, he did not like fighting and had no great interest in reproducing offspring.

The only thing I like to do is to find a slightly flat stone to sleep on.

Because he has abilities that some people don't have, he can freely control his dreams.

You can do whatever you want in it.

For example, you can become the strongest warrior and catch prey easily without using those traps.

Another example is transforming into a giant bird with wings, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

just.

An accident happened during a dream.

His own consciousness entered a deep dream state.

By chance, his consciousness was sucked into the black flag.

The physical body in the outside world died directly because it had not eaten for a long time.

Perhaps it's because of the peculiarity of his soul.

So that he was not destroyed by the power of the black flag, but instead became one of the souls, the first soul.

Trapped in it forever.

As time goes by.

'Xin's' will gradually collapsed, and he wanted to break away from the black flag and return to his own body.

However, it is simply impossible.

Fortunately, because of the special nature of the broken black flag.

Allow "Xin" to watch the dreams of all living beings and thereby continuously grow and learn various knowledge.

This is also his only way to contact the outside world and pass the time, so as not to go crazy.

And in the meantime.

He discovered that the broken black flag was using dreams as a medium to continuously absorb the emotional power of all living beings in order to repair itself.

He is the only soul among them.

Over a long period of time, perhaps due to the influence of the black flag, his consciousness became much stronger passively.

It can even borrow some power from the black flag to interfere with reality.

This also made him change his original idea of ​​leaving this place and gave rise to a little ambition.

He wants to completely control this black flag.

But, after all, he is just an ordinary person with some special talents.

Even if he was lucky enough to enter the broken black flag and survive, he could even use some of the power of the black flag to interfere with reality.

But it is simply impossible to completely control the black flag.

But he did not give up, but waited for the opportunity.

As time goes by, the power he can control grows stronger.

This black flag originally had no owner and was just passively absorbing the power of emotions, which gave him an opportunity.

With the help of the power of the black flag, he created the ten original dream eyes.

After these dream eyes absorb the power of emotions, they will feed back part of it to the black flag.

Hei Fan did not stop any behavior that was beneficial to himself.

However, the power consumed in creating the original Dream Eye was too great.

Compared with the power of repaying the kindness, it is completely disproportionate.

The black flag stopped this behavior.

But he did not stop there and instead created the relatively weaker Dream Eye.

In this way, the power of feedback is barely equal to the consumption of creating the Dream Eye.

The black flag did not stop it.

In order to speed up the consumption of the black flag's power, "Xin" constantly creates dream eyes and sets up numerous layouts to attract powerful dream masters into the strange painting.

Perhaps it is because these people are dream masters themselves.

The soul is corroded by the dream eye.

The Dream Eye itself is transformed from the power of the black flag.

The souls of these people have not been destroyed.

Instead, like 'Xin', he was left in the black banner.

However, these people did not survive.

Instead, it was absorbed and swallowed by "Xin".

As the first soul in the black banner, his power is so strong that it is simply incomparable to those dream masters.

The result is naturally no surprise.

In the end, only the shells of the Dream Masters were left.

They were the figures that besieged Hu Qi after he sailed to the island.

"Interesting, but this is a bit too coincidental."

Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.

This person's memory is complete.

But after reading it, Hu Qi felt a little strange.

This shouldn't be that simple.

This 'Xin' can enter a deep dream state and happens to be immortal.

I'm afraid it's not just a fluke.

But it is the plan of the will of this world.

The world will, as the aggregation of the world of all living beings itself, is in a dormant state most of the time and will only operate according to certain rules.

But this does not mean that the World Will is a fool.

Especially the world in the shallow water zone, which is surrounded by the spiritual sea water of Sumeru Sea.

Autonomy will only increase.

And according to the inherited memory of the three-eyed snake.

Some powerful world wills can even reincarnate as humans.

Then start from scratch, gradually become stronger, become the master of heaven and earth, and thus intervene in the development trajectory of the world.

This kind of person is a true son of luck, even more terrifying than a person of natural luck.

Reaching the peak and suppressing a world is inevitable.

Although the origin of the black flag is unknown, it is definitely a treasure. One can even guess from the broken marks on it that it is not from this world.

Falling into this world is probably just a coincidence.

Faced with this kind of thing.

What the world itself wants most is probably to control it.

This is the instinct of the world.

This explains why the strongest dream masters.

Even people with good fortune would enter this place, and no one escaped and died here.

I'm afraid all of this is intentional by the world's will.

The purpose is to enhance the power of Xin, the man of destiny in the broken black flag, and help the other party master the black flag.

Perhaps, continue in this way.

It is possible that the other party will be able to control this black flag tens of millions of years later, and even use it to strengthen the origin of the world and go to the deep water zone.

But unfortunately, before he could succeed, he was intercepted by Hu Qi.

As for Wei Fan, he was the body chosen by Xin for himself.

After all these years of accumulation, he has been able to temporarily break away from the black flag.

He wanted to refine Wei Fan into a strong enough body.

As for the other party's rebirth.

Maybe, it doesn't exist at all.

It's just a false memory woven by the world's will.

If the world will is the director.

Then the other party just revealed to Wei Fan the scenario that would happen in the future at some time.

Based on the current information, his guess is probably pretty close.

"Looking at it this way, this person is really a bit pitiful!"

Hu Qi shook his head.

He looked at the tattered black banner in his hand.

"What on earth is this banner? Could it be related to the true God?"

In Xin's memory, the time when the black flag appeared is completely untraceable.

All he knew was that when he entered the deep dream, he found that the black flag was already there.

And now, Hu Qi has already refined it.

But they were different from the dream eyes that he refined and devoured.

He simply cleared the traces from the broken black banner and planted his own soul imprint.

To identify it is to make it a part of yourself.

As for destruction or absorption, it is simply impossible.

Even using the three-eyed snake's soul-devouring talent would be of no avail.

In this regard.

He had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps this thing is related to the existence of the true God level.

Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

He shook his head, thinking that it was useless to think about these things now.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this broken black banner is definitely a good thing.

For him, it was an unexpected surprise to be able to obtain this item on this trip.

Take back your thoughts.

Hu Qi stared at the chaotic space in front of him. Previously, he had used all his strength to cause this space to be completely destroyed by the Red Sun Prison.

According to common sense, the strange painting in the outside world should also be destroyed.

In this situation, the result is that this place has become an isolated and chaotic space.

For a dream master or a spirit cultivator, escaping from this space is almost a fantasy.

But it was nothing to Hu Qi.

He held a tattered black flag in his hand and waved it forward casually!
In an instant.

A crack suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Outside the crack, scenes from the real world are reflected in it like a mirror.

Hu Qi took a step forward, and his figure went straight into the crack and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

And this chaotic and disordered space collapsed and disappeared instantly after Hu Qi left, turning into nothingness.

……

Outside, it was already evening.

The golden sun sank to the west, and the remaining clouds in the sky were dyed red as blood.

On the rooftop of a tall building, Hu Qi's figure appeared out of nowhere without any warning.

He looked toward the distant horizon, sensing the spread.

"Has it been three days?"

There was a strange flash in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"Next, I need to deal with the matter of the second clone..."

------

Jingle Bell……

An alarm sounded.

At the same time.

On the bed on one side, a hand slapped the alarm almost the moment it rang.

boom!
Perhaps because of too much force, the alarm clock rolled off the table and fell to the floor with a noise.

But the ringing still holds strong.

A few seconds later.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with messy hair poked his head out from under the quilt and sat up on the bed.

The boy in slippers walked to the side, bent down, picked up the alarm, turned it off, and put it aside.

He walked to the window and opened the curtains.

In an instant, a faint light appeared in the originally dim room.

Looking up and far away, the inky black sky in the distance gradually fades away.

The eastern sky was turning pale.

Soon, a huge red sun slowly emerged.

Like a newborn baby, the light it emits penetrates the mist between the tall buildings in the early morning and sprinkles on the boy's face.

"Thank you, great sun god, for giving us warmth and light!"

Li Feng lowered his eyes, put his hands in front of his chest to form a sun wheel gesture, and prayed devoutly.

then.

He changed his clothes, opened the door and went out.

At this moment, the living room was empty.

Li Feng came and stood in front of the dining table. There was a small piece of paper on the table, pressed down with a fruit plate.

There was a line of beautiful handwriting written on the note.

[Xiao Feng, breakfast is in the rice cooker, remember to eat more. ——Love your mother]

Seeing this, Li Feng smiled.

Apparently, they've become accustomed to this kind of thing.

He was originally an orphan.

He was adopted by his current adoptive parents when he was seven years old, and his parents treated him very well.

I go out early and come back late every day just to provide him with a better life.

During this time, his parents have already gone to work.

Entering the kitchen, nothing unexpected happened.

Sure enough, I saw a prepared breakfast in the rice cooker.

However, he felt that the porridge was a little cold and black in his mouth, so it might be porridge made from black rice.

Li Feng didn't care about this.

After having a simple breakfast and washing the dishes, Li Feng walked out of the house.

Because the middle school is just a few hundred meters away.

You can just walk there, no need to take a car.

Just as Li Feng entered the classroom.

I found that the students were whispering to each other.

When he saw Li Feng coming in, his eyes seemed to have an indescribable meaning.

See this.

Li Feng looked at his best friend and deskmate sitting next to him and asked in confusion.

"Lao Zhang, what happened?"

His deskmate was a strong boy named Zhang Lin.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin glanced at him.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Then he explained in a low voice.

"You didn't watch the news, did you? A nightmare incident happened in the Lefang Shopping Center in Donghu District! Thirty-one people are missing so far."

"Nightmare incident? Thirty-one people missing?"

Li Feng's expression changed slightly.

Nightmare events are extremely terrifying. Once ordinary people are involved in them, they are almost certain to die.

Missing is only because the body has not been found. In this case, the most likely possibility is that they are dead.

He had been to the Lefang Shopping Mall in Donghu District before. It was about three or four kilometers away from here, separated by a river.

"Don't worry, the people from the Yao Fasi Division have already arrived.

I heard that this time a third-level Fiery Sun Priest is leading the team. Solving this nightmare incident will definitely be a piece of cake."

It seemed that he noticed Li Feng's nervousness.

Zhang Lin said comfortingly.

Hear the words.

Li Feng's expression eased a little.

According to records.

Nightmare events have existed since ancient times.

Nightmares happened quite frequently at that time.

But eighty years ago, the sun god appeared in the world and cleared away these evil things.

However, nightmares come from the dark side deep within the human mind.

As long as intelligent life, that is, human beings, exists, it will be impossible to completely eliminate them.

Fortunately, with the existence of the Sun God Cult, every nightmare incident can be quickly resolved.

It will not cause too many casualties.

The Yaofasi mentioned by the other party is a special department jointly formed by the Sun God Cult and the Yu State.

At least one of their members must be a Sun Apostle who is able to cast divine spells and is recognized by the Sun God.

Just when he was about to say something.

At this time.

There was a spitting sound at the door.

Then, the big-bellied, balding old teacher walked in from the door.

Seeing this, the two of them left, ended their conversation, and sat down quietly.

The day passed quickly.

It was soon time to go home from school.

Li Feng and the other man traveled together.

The two lived in the same neighborhood, but not in the same building.

"Let's go to my house for dinner today."

Zhang Lin smiled and patted Li Feng on the shoulder.

"No, my parents are waiting for me at home."

Li Feng shook his head and refused.

however.

Zhang Lin in front of him heard what Li Feng said.

A strange look flashed across his face.

Then, he sighed.

"Fengzi, think positively. If your uncle and aunt were still alive, they wouldn't want to see you sink into despair like this..."

"Fuck, no, don't force me to beat you, we are good brothers, but don't joke about this kind of thing."

listen.

Li Feng's face turned ugly.

Zhang Lin opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He shook his head, turned and left.

Li Feng returned home with a grim look on his face.

He had a good relationship with Zhang Lin, but he couldn't tolerate things like cursing his parents directly.

He didn't understand why the other party said this out of the blue.

At this time, it seemed that some movement was heard.

A voice came from the kitchen.

"Xiao Feng, are you back?"

In this regard.

Li Feng was still thinking about what had just happened.

He responded casually.

"Take a rest first, the meal will be ready soon."

The sound continued to come from the kitchen, faintly mixed with the sound of flowing water.

"Where's my dad?"

Li Feng looked around and didn't see his father, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Your dad went out to buy something, he will probably be back soon!"

Mom's voice replied.

Li Feng didn't think much about it.

But he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he still looked up towards the kitchen, and saw a familiar figure standing next to the sink with his back to him.

Seeing this, Li shook his head.

I cursed myself secretly, wondering if I was stupid.

He turned back into the room and put his backpack down.

Then he took out a cell phone from the drawer.

As a middle school student, he has a mobile phone.

It’s just that because the school’s inspection is strict, I never bring it to school.

I just play it when I'm bored.

However, just after he turned on his phone.

A message alert sounded.

It was none other than Zhang Lin.

"I'm sorry, Fengzi. It's my fault. I shouldn't have exposed your scars."

Hearing this, Li Feng's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, suddenly rose up again.

What does it mean to expose your own scars?
This guy apologized on the surface, but he was clearly cursing himself in his words.

Li Feng didn't say anything and directly dialed the number. Soon, the call was connected.

"Hey!"

Zhang Lin's voice came from the receiver.

Li Feng could no longer bear it and started swearing at the person on the other end of the phone, saying that his parents were alive and well and his mother was cooking for him in the kitchen at the moment.

However, after Li Feng finished cursing, the imagined scene of Zhang Lin angrily cursing back did not occur.

After a few seconds of silence.

Zhang Lin's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Fengzi, are you really crazy? My uncle and aunt were just cremated two days ago, how could they still be alive?"
