The soul-eating monster is dead.
Nothing else was discovered except it.
The entire valley has turned into a towering mountain range, and all the monsters are still missing.
The only clue is that weird female voice.
However, how to determine who the owner of the female voice is?
"Do you believe what that monster said just now?" Ilia asked.
"It's not worth believing, but I can feel its pride." Gu Qingshan said.
"Where is the army of demons and ghosts? Just now we heard someone ordering the army of demons and ghosts to retreat. Have they really given up the attack?" Ilia asked.
"Probably not. For Origin, it doesn't care about any failure. It will only crazyly try every means to get what it wants." Gu Qingshan said flatly.
"But its troops are gone."
"Maybe it's not missing..."
Gu Qingshan looked up at the sky and continued: "If they leave this lost world, they will definitely return to the ice."
Trieste's collection world is divided into three layers, namely the ice shell layer, the ocean layer and the relic world.
If the demons and ghosts leave the world of the remnants, the only place they can go is to the ice shell layer.
All the possessed ones are there too.
Ilia was puzzled: "But the treasure I used to pass through the barrier is disposable. If I go out again, I won't be able to come back."
"It's okay, I can guarantee our return trip."
"Okay, let's go confirm it."
The two of them stretched out their figures, soared up into the wind, and flew towards the outer layer of the world.
When arriving at the barrier of the gods, Gu Qingshan waved the Chaoyin Sword.
The barrier immediately opened a hole to facilitate the passage of two people.
He waved his sword again, and the water flowing outside the barrier parted, leaving a path to the top.
"It turns out that this long sword was forged by the gods and can be used to control water spirits," Ilia sighed. "No wonder Laura always misses your sword."
"Let's go and see what's going on outside." Gu Qingshan said.
The two of them flew straight upward.
When he was about to reach the ice shell layer, Gu Qingshan stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ilia asked.
"It seems that we are looking up from the ocean, and we are still a little hidden." Gu Qingshan said.
Ilia looked up.
But above the blue water flow, there is a thin layer of white ice shell.
With her strength, she could sense the movement on the ice shell in the ocean without going up at all.
"Okay, let's follow the direction of the ocean current and investigate carefully to see if we can find anything."
The two of them swam for only a few minutes before stopping in the sea.
Above them, the originally pure white ice shell revealed a dense aura of demons and ghosts.
The army of demons and ghosts is densely packed here!
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
Has the Demon King's Order really withdrawn its troops?
Although Ilia was confused, she couldn't help showing a little bit of relief.
Gu Qingshan frowned.
wrong.
Even if he saw the retreating demon army with his own eyes, Gu Qingshan would never think that Origin would admit defeat.
He knows this stuff too well.
Unscrupulous, cold and ruthless, greedy and cruel.
Why would such a being withdraw all the demons and ghosts?
Even the entropy ghosts who are Chaos Demon Gods have all withdrawn from the underground world of survivors.
What's the key to this?
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
"Let's go see those possessed people and see what they are doing." Ilia said.
"Okay." Gu Qingshan responded.
The two dived into the deep sea and swam under the camp where the possessed men were stationed.
Ilia observed carefully.
Gu Qingshan also performed the Breath Condensation Technique and carefully checked the movements above the ice.
I saw those who were possessed by the demon were packing their bags and preparing to leave.
Yes, even the overnight camp has been packed up and organized.
The possessed ones are indeed preparing to leave.
"If they all evacuate in the next step, we will be safe." Ilia said.
Gu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, still feeling unbelievable.
"Under what circumstances will Origin withdraw all its minions?"
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It should be when the Demon King's order completely gives up the attack." Ilia said.
"Except for this situation." Gu Qingshan said.
Ilia thought for a while and asked: "Under what circumstances would you give up fighting?"
"Me? I won't give up the fight. The origin is probably the same as mine."
For some reason, he remembered the sighing female voice again.
A female voice sang faintly: "The journey is far away and unimaginable. I have dreamed about it for a long time. I dreamed that I was by my side, and suddenly I felt that I was in a foreign country."
There was nothing special about the singing, but the singing style seemed to awaken some things in his memory.
Gu Qingshan was floating in the deep blue sea, concentrating on his thoughts.
The current situation is really unexpected.
There must be something that I don't know about at all, but it has happened.
Gu Qingshan closed his eyes and thought carefully.
He recalled everything that had happened since he entered the world of the remnants of the gods.
When I first entered that world, because I didn't know anything, my eyesight was dark, and in order to hide my whereabouts, I chose a remote city and landed on the outskirts of the city.
What did you see then?
A man and a woman, hugging each other tightly.
Their faces were full of despair and fear, and they were already dead.
Next, the entropy ghost appears.
Then along the way, there are super large coral buildings everywhere.
There are people everywhere in those buildings.
These people may be eating, walking, running, or talking, but they all maintain the same movements as when they were alive.
Their expressions were lifelike, as if they didn't know they were dead.
Later, the black horse whispered to himself that he seemed to see a corpse laughing.
After he settled Laura, he left the Six Realms Sacred Mountain Sword to protect her, and then went to the city to explore alone.
What did you see at that time?
Thousands of dead people, with weird smiles on their faces, lined up in neat lines and silently walked towards the square.
In the square, there is a black mountain-like monster, devouring corpses.
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but talk to himself.
"This is a bit strange..."
"What can take away the lives of sentient beings without making a sound?"
"What kind of existence can control a person's corpse and continue to act?"
Gu Qingshan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the soul-eating monster that had just died.
I always feel... something is wrong.
This soul-eating monster has its own thoughts and emotions, and its consciousness is very clear when speaking.
But that didn't seem to be the case with the soul-eating monster he encountered at that time.
How did Shan Nu judge at that time?
"No, they have lost their minds and only know how to kill."
These are the original words of the mountain girl.
This is strange.
Why was it that the soul-eating monster we encountered at that time was unconscious, but the soul-eating monster we met just now was still conscious even though it was about to die?
Could it be...
Was the soul-eating monster I met for the first time deliberately placed there?
But even so, the only effect of those soul-eating monsters was to be discovered and killed by him.
——Could it be a coincidence?
No.
There shouldn't be such a coincidence.
After that, it seemed that the soul-eating monster was never encountered again along the way.
Gu Qingshan thought about it, his brows gradually furrowed.
He suddenly asked Di Jian: "When we first arrived in the world below, we saw a soul-eating monster from the Underworld. It was attached to a corpse. Do you still have any impressions?"
"I remember." Di Jian said.
"How does this kind of monster kill living creatures?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Killing living beings?" Di Jian said unexpectedly, "That kind of monster comes from the underworld. It can only devour the souls of the underworld to deepen the torture of the souls."
"It can't swallow the soul of a living thing?"
"No, its method of killing ordinary creatures should be the same as ordinary monsters."
Gu Qingshan suddenly laughed bitterly.
He was blinded by such a simple truth.
He asked Ilia again: "I have a very important question. You must answer me well."
Seeing that he said it solemnly, Ilia also said seriously: "You say it, I will listen."
"How does a chaotic demon like the Entropy Ghost kill its enemies?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I have seen this many times. They will directly penetrate all the enemy's protective measures and eat the opponent directly."
"Eat it?"
"Yes, entropy ghosts are a mixture of countless underworld ghosts and gods. They like to eat flesh and blood." Ilia said with a look of disgust.
"Are you sure that's the case?"
"Pretty sure."
Gu Qingshan sighed deeply.
This is completely wrong.
At that time, in order to investigate the situation, I personally inspected some corpses.
All the organs of those corpses were intact, and there were no external or internal injuries at all.
Some bodies are even still warm.
At that time, I judged that it was a divine soul type attack, which was correct.
But then, he unexpectedly took a detour and mistakenly thought that this was the work of an entropy ghost or a soul-eating monster.
Ilia said that entropy ghosts like to eat flesh and blood.
Moreover, when he first encountered the entropy ghost, it would rush into the magic circle and try to bite him.
So Ilia probably didn't lie.
so--
The existence that killed the entire city's survivors was not an entropy ghost! It’s not a soul-eating monster either!
As for the monster in purgatory, its method is to devour all corpses, and it cannot kill people unconsciously.
Suddenly, the sighing female voice appeared in Gu Qingshan's mind again.
An idea emerged from the depths of memory and flashed in my heart.
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh bitterly again.
It seems... I was careless.
I really didn’t expect that Doomsday Online: Origins would have such deep intentions.
Perhaps it was the previous battles that made it more vigilant about itself.
After entering this world of remnants, because of the barrier of the gods, I felt a little relaxed for a while.
But he didn't know that Origin had already entered here. When he entered, it had already carried out a carefully planned layout for him.
First, the entropy ghost attacks, and then uses the underworld soul-eating monster to attach itself to the corpse, allowing him to find and kill him.
Even the monsters from purgatory are out.
When he kills all the monsters, purgatory's lobbyists will appear.
Every step, every encounter, every monster that appears is arranged by Origin.
In front of these endless strange monsters, although he saw something, he had been led astray in the direction of his thinking.
"Origin...it's really amazing."
Gu Qingshan sighed, thinking silently in his heart.
It seems that in the last life, the whole world collapsed in the face of the Demon King's order, and it was not just because of the short-sightedness and lack of strength of the human race.
The origin is really too powerful.
At this moment, the faint female voice appeared in Gu Qingshan's heart again.
"The journey is unimaginable. I have dreamed about it for a long time. I dreamed that I was by my side, and suddenly I felt that I was in a foreign country..."
A female voice sang softly.
Gu Qingshan trembled.
"Come on, we have to go back!"
After thinking about everything clearly, he didn't care about anything. He directly grabbed Ilia's hand and flew towards the abyss.
"What problem did you find?" Ilia asked alertly.
"I don't think we should leave Tide City. Alas, we were careless."
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but shook his head.
"What happened?"
"I don't know yet, but according to my inference, the origin will only give up under one circumstance."
"what's the situation?"
"It's gotten its wish."
"That's impossible!" Ilia said in disbelief.
Gu Qingshan showed a strange expression and said: "It is not impossible. If it can even summon that kind of special existence, then it is very possible..."
"A special existence? Are you referring to the owner of that female voice?" Ilia reacted quickly and asked quickly.
"Yes, this is the truth." Gu Qingshan sighed.
All the seawater made way for them, and the two of them dived all the way down into the deep blue abyss.
Thinking back to that faint female voice, Gu Qingshan felt more and more uneasy.
"No, we have to speed up!"
Gu Qingshan's spiritual power was fully activated, he made a magic formula, and his body flew down towards the lost world of the gods like lightning.
At a certain moment, he suddenly patted the storage bag and took out something.
It was a bracelet with five bells strung on it.
This bell bracelet was unexpectedly heavy and carried an icy aura that even spiritual power could not isolate.
Gu Qingshan tied it around his wrist and wrapped it tightly.
As he flew towards the depths of the abyss, the bells faced the wind and made a crisp tinkling sound.
The sound of the bell spreads through the layers of space toward the unknown world.
