No, where does this portal come from?

What he saw was emotion.

It is the other person's inner fear.

And the body of this scarecrow is not his real body.

His true form is the cage in his chest.

Or rather, it was the unknown object in the cage consisting of endless darkness and a large number of eyeballs.

The reason why he looks like this now is simply because he looked like this when he came.

However, the key to the cage that would free his true body was stolen by the Protoss, causing him to be trapped in this scarecrow's body endlessly, constantly devouring fear to maintain his instincts.

Fiddlesticks paced frantically outside the door, his eyes sweeping over some of the people in the yard whose souls were filled with fear.

He can see the fear in everyone very clearly.

We can also see that some people do not have the emotion of fear in their hearts.

Just like Bi'an, Zhang Zhiwei, Yhwach, Ryze, Gilgamesh, and Lin Yan who walked to the door and looked at it carefully.

Cross-da cross-da...

Fiddlesticks crawled and rolled outside the door with his limbs in a mess, repeating the last words of those he had killed.

Paired with the cold moonlight and pure darkness, it sounds eerie.

It stared straight at Lin Yan.

In Fiddlesticks' eyes, Lin Yan's soul was as uncertain as smoke, yet it maintained its own cycle and was not troubled by external forces.

This also prevented Fiddlesticks' own 'Aura of Fear' from truly invading his soul and devouring him from the inside out.

While Fiddlesticks was observing Lin Yan, Lin Yan was also observing Fiddlesticks.

The Mystic Eyes of Death stared at Fiddlesticks's body.

As expected, there is no dead line.

This also proves that it cannot be truly killed and has no true end.

The situation just froze.

Fiddlesticks kept moving around outside the door.

Lin Yan stood at the door, his eyes following it constantly.

Time passed minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yan, who was standing at the door, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stretched out his hand towards Fiddlesticks.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he invited it, "Ancient Terror, do you want to come in and play?"

"The kind that can help you unlock the cage."

Chapter 153 We often doubt whether Lin Yan is mentally normal

As he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew in the yard, and dead leaves swirled across the bluestone floor.

Hearing Lin Yan's terrifying words, everyone looked sideways.

Ruize, who had some knowledge of demons, even warned: "Lin Yan, trust me."

"It's not something that can be touched casually."

Ryze had a serious expression and stood in front of Lin Yan.

"Since you are aware of its existence, you must also know that it represents bad luck and that touching it will bring unexpected disasters.

That would be a disaster not only for you, but for the entire world! A disaster no less than the Rune Wars!"

His tone was serious and his eyes were full of warning.

Ryze is well aware that he is still too young for this world, like a child.

But compared to others, his thousand years of experience have enriched him immeasurably.

But even so, Ryze knows very little about demons.

Just as Ryze was about to continue persuading, Fiddlesticks outside the yard suddenly made a "cracking" sound of his joints being dislocated.

The straw-stuffed neck was twisted to an angle impossible for a human to achieve, and rotten straw fell from the gaps in the linen.

He stood outside the suppression area with his head tilted, staring straight at Ryze, and then said a name that Ryze didn't want to mention.

"Tyrus..."

The moment he heard the name, Ryze's body trembled suddenly and his fists clenched suddenly.

Tyrus, Ryze's master.

The master who was killed by his own hands.

It is also Ryze's eternal pain.

The fallen petals swirled and landed on the stone slab between them.

Ryze turned, the rune totems on his body lighting up, his eyes blazing with blue light, and arcane energy crackling in his palms. His voice was colder than the night wind. "Fiddlesticks, using the dead as bait... are you trying to scare me?"

"Do you know why I can live for a thousand years?" The blue light made his pupils look like burning stars. "It's because my beliefs have never changed!"

"Master's death was his own fault because he strayed from his original intention. It's not my fault."

"You can't frighten me, nor can you consume me."

"But I can kill you again and again! Do you want to try?" As he said that, Ryze wanted to teleport to the Forbidden Stone Forest to take out the Overlord Rune to give Fiddlesticks a bath.

"Ku ...

"As long as there is fear in the world, I will be there."

This time, Fiddlesticks' voice did not come out of its mouth, and contrary to its usual behavior, it did not repeat those dull and creepy words.

The torn linen robe on his body was lifted up by an unknown force, revealing the iron cage on his chest.

The black fog in the cage suddenly surged violently, and dozens of turbid eyeballs slammed against the iron bars. Sticky liquid flowed down along the rust. The eyeballs hidden in the mist kept staring at Lin Yan behind Ryze: "Human, I see..."

The sound was like countless gravel rolling in a clay pot: "Cackling—your greed is dancing in your veins."

"Are you spying on my power? Do you want to come in and take a look?" The black mist in the cage whispered wantonly, grabbing the cage with both hands, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"..."

"Will you come in?" Lin Yan flicked the nonexistent dust off his sleeves, his heels tapping the ground with a crisp sound. "Come in and I'll help you unlock the cage."

"Hehehe - untie the cage? And then change it to a bigger cage?" Fiddlesticks glanced at the courtyard in front of him and said sarcastically.

Do you really think it can't see that the courtyard in front of it is a seal that is more terrifying than the iron cage on its chest?

Seeing that Fiddlesticks didn't fall for it, Lin Yan lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

"If you don't want to come in... then there's nothing I can do..."

When he raised his head again, his malicious eyes were already meeting Fiddlesticks' iron cage.

"Do you really think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

Although he didn't know what Lin Yan would do, after seeing the malicious gaze, Fiddlesticks' figure quickly turned into darkness and spread outward.

Before Lin Yan finished speaking, his thumb had already pressed down hard on the dial button. The instant the gears clicked, the black mist that had dispersed from Fiddlesticks gathered again like a rewound film.

Turn back time.

As time went back, Fiddlesticks's recent sarcasm was heard again.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck—untie the cage? Then change to a bigger one…"

"..."

"What are you doing?"

Fiddlesticks suddenly felt his body enveloped by an inexplicable force.

The figure wanted to disperse, but it was too late.

Reality distortion activated!

This was the first time he had used his mental power to distort an original demon.

However, Lin Yan did not intend to use reality distortion to kill the body in front of him.

So it’s not difficult at all.

All he had to do was find a new spot for Fiddlesticks...

Mental power enveloped Fiddlesticks.

The moment he touched Fiddlesticks, his mental power subconsciously shrank, as if he had been electrocuted.

Just a touch, and countless screams and wails were transmitted into Lin Yan's soul along with his spirit.

Silently reciting the fear that was suppressed by the Purifying Heart Mantra, Lin Yan continued to increase the degree of reality distortion.

Amidst the crackling sound of space distortion, the scarecrow fell into the suppression area.

Fiddlesticks, who was outside the yard a second ago, was now standing in a row with Kaz and Carl.

Like a wooden stake.

"Surprised?" Lin Yan tilted his head and smiled like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

Compared to Lin Yan, Fiddlesticks kept screaming like a madman: "What did you do!!"

In the cage, black fog was swirling, but the limbs could not move at all.

The ability to move was completely suppressed, and the original power of the fear demon was also suppressed in the body and could not be used.

Now it is like a scarecrow that retains consciousness...

Walk up to Fiddlesticks.

Lin Yan shook the dial in his hand.

"As an original demon, didn't you expect that even if you were standing in a safe area, you would be forcibly pulled in?"

"Or even if the Star Spirit steals the key that seals you, you still can't change your careless nature?" Lin Yan raised the corner of his mouth with a mocking arc.

"Ah—you deserve to die just like those Protoss..." Fiddlesticks roared madly!

The Sword Demon in the distance secretly gave a thumbs up to the second half of Fiddlesticks' words.

Yes! That's right! All the Protoss should be damned!

Especially the Twilight Star Spirit!

I will kill you a thousand times! Still! Not! Enough!

The Sword Demon roared in his heart.

One day, I will pull those dirty idiots down from the altar and kill them all!

"Hey hey hey~ Don't curse so dirty~"

"Although I'm not a good person, my reputation is definitely much better than that of the Protoss." Lin Yan said as he squatted down and looked at the cage on Fiddlesticks' chest.

I don't know what material the cage is made of. It looks like it's covered in rust, but there's not a single dead thread.

Inside the cage, a group of chaotic eyes stared at Lin Yan with murderous intent, as if they wanted to break through the cage and devour him.

He looked at the eyeballs that were glued to the edge of the cage and staring at him.

After looking at each other for a moment, Lin Yan suddenly stretched out his finger and poked the eyeball that was close to him.

Ryze and the others watching were speechless.

We often doubt whether the group leader's mental state is normal.

As if hurt by the previous blow, the black mist in the cage twisted and curled up very vividly.

Fiddlesticks:

After the incident of Lin Yan poking his eyes, the black mist and eyeballs in the cage were deliberately kept away from the edge of the iron cage, for fear that Lin Yan would not abide by the rules of martial arts and poke other people's eyes for no reason.

Seeing that Fiddlesticks ignored him, Lin Yan raised his hand and knocked on the cage again: "Hey, hey, hey, Fiddlesticks."

"Don't be so anxious to shut yourself off."

"I heard that you demons can share your power with others. Why don't you give me your power?
