On the other side, at the top of the turret, the first ray of sunlight appeared. Hoffa's strength instantly declined. His swollen muscles contracted, the flow of magic power weakened, and his speed slowed down.
"It's dawn, Bach, the game is over."
Manse appeared behind Hoffa without warning, where he had been a minute ago. He took out a sharp knife and aimed it at Hoffa's temple.
Hoffa raised his hand to block Manse's knife and pushed him back.
Tick tock, 0.1 seconds.
Time went backward. Manse and Hoffa, who had just been pushed away, were pulled back together like two magnets.
Under the sunlight, half of Maans' originally masculine and resolute face had turned into a woman's appearance. It looked exceptionally strange. Hoffa suppressed the stomach acid in his chest and pushed Manse away again.
As soon as he pushed Manse away, time went backward again.
Push away, back, push away, back …
Gradually, under the sunlight, his strength declined to the size of a normal adult, until he could no longer push Manse away and could only stay in place. In the stalemate, Manse said, "It's no use, Bach. I can see your past. The power of the God of Night can't last until the day. Don't even think about surviving this time. "
"Shut up, you … You selfish bastard from head to toe! Shameless bastard! "Hoffa said with difficulty. As he spoke, the knife got closer and closer to the tip of his nose. Under the decline of his strength, he finally lost his strength and was stabbed in the cheek by the knife, which went into his cheekbone.
At this moment, Manse's body swayed. In a trance, the tip of the knife brushed past Hoffa's cheek and fell to the ground. Hoffa jumped up from the ground and stepped on Manse's chest, kicking him back to the wall.
He turned his head to look. The female vampire had unknowingly crawled in front of Chloe and pulled out a catheter from her arm. At this moment, she was curiously looking at the blood dripping from the catheter.
Beautiful! Hoffa almost wanted to pounce on her and kiss her. Regardless of the vampire's motives, this was exactly what he needed. The Manse's power came from the nun, but he did not have any special abilities. As long as the connection between Chloe and the Manse was severed, the cage of time would collapse.
So he leapt into the air towards the nun on the iron chair, trying to pull out all the things on her arm.
Manse sensed Hoffa's thoughts. He sneered, clenched his fist, and pulled back. Time warped, and Hoffa's body was hooked back in mid-air. A second later, he uncontrollably returned to the stalemate between the two.
At this stage, the Manse raised his dagger and thrust it at his temple. This time, Hoffa did not waste his energy. He shouted to the vampire hiding in the corner, "Quick, Portman, help me pull out those catheters!"
The female vampire's gaze fell on the nun on the iron chair. She looked at the two people tangled together in the distance, gritted her teeth, and crawled towards the nun on all fours.
"Don't even think about it!"
Another voice came from the corner.
Hoffa's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and saw another identical Manse appear around the corner. He strode towards the female vampire, grabbed her by the back and lifted her up.
Hoffa did not have time to think about why there were two identical people. At this critical moment, he made a prompt decision. He immediately let go of his hand and tilted his head to the side.
After he let go, the Manse's dagger achieved its wish. It heavily stabbed into Hoffa's head. But because Hoffa tilted his head in time, the dagger did not pierce his temple, but his mouth.
The sharp dagger pierced his cheek. Hoffa bit down on the sharp steel, and even his tongue was pierced. Inertia pushed him to the ground. After he freed his hand, he picked up a piece of metal from the ground and threw it at the unconscious Chloe.
Clang!
The piece of metal hit the nun's head, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Do something!" Hoffa roared. "Resist!"
"Resist …"
In a daze, the nun's lifeless eyes turned around.
"You expect the nun to resist?" The Manse pulled out the dagger and pressed on Hoffa's head again. It did not give up and stabbed towards his temple. "If you can resist, why are you a nun?"
The dagger enlarged in Hoffa's eyes. The other Manse was choking the female vampire, and her tongue was stuck out.
In a moment of life and death.
Drip …
The Manse suddenly retreated uncontrollably, and Hoffa also floated up from the ground. The female vampire was released, and she stepped back step by step. The fluorescent lights on the wall turned black at the speed of light.
In the blink of an eye, day turned into night.
The moment the moonlight shone down, Hoffa took a deep breath. The Manse that was holding him down was kicked away. Due to the close distance, he was shot into the wall like a cannonball. His spine broke in half, and half of his chest caved in. Sharp bones pierced through his back. The violent collision caused the entire room to shake.
Hoffa turned his head and saw that Chloe had woken up. She struggled to stand up from the metal chair, and raised her chained hand. She looked at Hoffa with a complicated expression. "Hurry … hurry up and leave. I can't hold it for long."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slumped back into the chair. The broken-back Manse that was embedded in the wall spat out a mouthful of blood and got up again. The night quickly disappeared with his movements, and the clock on the wall was moving forward rapidly.
Hoffa did not dare to hesitate. He did not even dare to take another look at Chloe. He rushed forward and dragged the female vampire. Taking advantage of the last glimmer of dawn, he quickly ran downstairs.
As soon as he rushed out of that terrifying medical room, the tyrannical power of law spread out. The last hint of darkness before dawn disappeared, and sunlight shone through the window again. The Manse did not show any mercy, and immediately made it noon. The intense sunlight shone on the two people's skin through the round windows of the battleship. Red spots instantly appeared on the female vampire's skin where the sunlight shone. She screamed in pain.
Hoffa crashed through the metal wall without hesitation, and fell straight down the pipe. He had been carrying the female vampire all this time, and landed at the bottom of the deck, avoiding the sunlight.
Piles of wooden barrels were placed at the bottom of the deck. These were the fresh water supplies that the soldiers used for their daily tasks. After landing, the two of them smashed through a few wooden barrels. The two of them choked on the water and coughed non-stop.
The female vampire, Kylia, crazily crawled up and shouted in confusion, "What kind of monster was that? What happened just now?!"
"Shh! Shut up! "
Hoffa did not have time to rest, nor did he have time to check his injuries. He dragged the female vampire up and directly hid in the Ghost Walk state. At this moment, his whole body was trembling. Drops of sweat flowed from his forehead to his chin. What was worse was the dizziness and exhaustion that made his eyelids feel heavy.
Misfortunes never come singly. Not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the stairs. "Where are you? Bach. "
The Manse's injuries had completely healed. He walked down the stairs with a head that was neither male nor female. There were several red pipes inserted behind his head, and it was twitching like a ghost. He twirled a dagger in his hand, bent over, and squeezed into the battleship's supply room filled with buckets.
There was complete silence.
No one answered.
Hoffa covered the female vampire's mouth, not letting her make a sound. He bit his lower lip tightly and arched his toes.
"Don't hide. Nothing can escape my eyes."
Along with the voice, another Manse walked down the stairs. Like the previous man, he bent over, held a dagger, and his head kept twitching.
"Time is the only eternity. It's a fate that you can never escape." Another Maans said. He walked to another corner of the deck warehouse. Each of them had a thin blood tube connected to the back of their necks. The tube extended down from the top of the turret, which was so tall that it was impossible to reach, like the strings of a puppet.
Two identical people stood in the room, using the same voice to say different things. Hoffa's back was drenched in sweat. He swore that this was the most nervous he had been in a year. He even secretly pinched his thigh, wondering if he was having a nightmare. He wanted to know if the God of Nightmares had come to collect rent again.
But the sharp pain in his thigh told him that this was reality, a reality that was even stranger than a nightmare.
"What supports me is nothing more than profit." The Manse's voice was a mix of a man's deep voice and a woman's gentleness. "For a higher value, I can give up everything for it. But I'm curious, what is it that supports you to come to me? "
As he spoke, the third Manse walked down the stairs. As he walked, he stood in the southeast corner of the dusty warehouse.
"Who doesn't do it for themselves? You've walked so far and met so many people. Tell me, who doesn't do it for themselves?"
The fourth Manse walked down the stairs and stopped at the spot where Hoffa and the female vampire were standing.
More and more identical people appeared, bringing about an almost unparalleled pressure. The vampire whose mouth was covered began to tremble all over. Hoffa didn't feel good either. He still remembered that when he was in Paris, when Crowley's magic went berserk, he had once split into two. But now, this guy actually unscrupulously split into countless copies of himself. Wasn't he afraid of the backlash of the laws at all?
"You dare to say that I'm selfish? Humph, who isn't selfish? What does the life and death of others and the destruction of the Empire have to do with me?" The four Manse walked slowly in the dusty lower deck at the same time. "Some people are born to be enslaved, and some people are born to enslave others. I want to be the one who enslaves others. Don't tell me you don't want to."
When the time for Ghost Walk was up, Hoffa revealed himself. The four Manse's heads twitched crazily and turned to him at the same time. Zizi smiled and said, "You must be doing it for yourself, Bach. You have some ulterior motive. "
They leaned forward and Zizi drew his sword.
Hoffa put his palms together and poured out all his magic.
Clang!!
With a loud noise, Zizi's bucket suddenly exploded. Countless amounts of fresh water rushed out and flooded the entire room in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, all the freshwater was transformed into wave-shaped solid crystals. The four Maans were all imprisoned in the transformed crystals, maintaining their forward thrusting posture and unable to move. They were like mosquitoes in amber.
Hoffa held his chest and gasped for breath. The vigorous exercise during the day was like someone had stuffed countless charcoal into his lungs, making it difficult for him to continue.
The female vampire looked at the four identical men trapped in the white crystal and sat down on the ground. She was stunned.
Crack.
A crack appeared on the crystal.
One of the Manse rolled its eyes. Hoffa kicked the female vampire and said, "Don't just stand there. Let's go. I can't control my transformation for long."
The vampire rolled and crawled as she propped herself up. The two of them once again fled into the distance. This time, after running for a long time, they arrived at the warship's washroom. It was filled with brooms and cleaning supplies.
After entering the room, Hoffa slammed the iron door shut and leaned against the washroom in a soldier's posture. He was out of breath. He finally could not run anymore. In the mirror, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His body was covered with scars from the battle. Some were small, some were long and narrow.
"Is he the one who destroyed my family and hid an entire warship in my father's treasure vault?!" The female vampire's voice was still shaken.
Huo Fa glanced at her. She no longer looked at him with the same hatred as before. Instead, there was only confusion and bewilderment.
"Yes." He answered hoarsely, "He used poison."
"But? But, but how can there be four identical men? Who was the one who did it? He … he … what exactly is he? "
"He is a human!" Huo Fa gritted his teeth and said, "That's him from a different timeline." He wiped the wound on his body and spat out a mouthful of blood. "That guy has arranged for his other selves to come in here."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!!?"
"It's okay if you don't understand. Huff, huff, but I know that as time drags on, he can even split into more of himself. And every one of them is an existence that cannot be killed."
The female vampire was stunned. Obviously, this kind of thing was completely impossible for a woman who spent the first half of her life drinking blood. She did not even understand what the young man in front of her was talking about.
After taking a few breaths, Hoffa took out the glass orb from his waist. He wanted to ask something but found that he did not even have the strength to ask. The little monster in the glass orb hovered and looked at him with emotionless eyes. It flew up and down.
Another failure.
That guy was not something that he could control, not even at night. He was afraid that once his transformation lost its effect under the power of time, that guy would quickly find him again. And this time, he might not be able to resist anymore.
The cruel reality made him dizzy. Hoffa leaned against the white tiles and iron fences. He straightened his legs and let out a long sigh. The glass orb rolled out of his hand and onto the ground.
At this moment, the stairwell in front of them was suddenly pushed open by someone. Another series of hurried footsteps were heard. At this moment, the two people in the bathroom were like birds startled by the twang of a bow. Before the sound came close, they got up from the ground and looked in front of them with a horrified expression.
Crack!
A guy in tattered clothes pushed open the iron door and barged into their hiding place. As soon as he entered, he fell to the ground and fell flat on his face. When he saw the two people in front of him, he shouted, "Quick! Run, that guy Liddell … that guy is crazy! "
