Dark, silent, soundless.
A strange atmosphere finally reached its peak at this time.
The fourth person's breathing only lasted for a moment, but since Constantine could hear it, Lord naturally heard it too.
He immediately locked onto the general direction of the breath, but the surrounding dark environment was too weird, which not only blocked the penetration of sight, but even hindered the detection of spiritual pressure.
In this strange dark environment, their visual range was less than two meters.
Two meters...
In the case of a confrontation between experts, it is a very dangerous distance!
The line of sight is compressed to the extreme, coupled with the dark and depressing environment, as well as unknown enemies and Weeping Angels, the multiple threats test people's spirit and reactions. Once their reactions are slightly wrong, the outcome will be certain death.
Constantine tried to use magic to ignite fire and illuminate his surroundings.
There is no problem with this idea, but when the magic flame is ignited, the light is still limited to two meters, and the flame is weak and swaying like a candle in the wind, as if there are signs of extinguishing at any time, which undoubtedly makes him more nervous. A few points.
But the more critical the situation, the calmer Lord became.
Although the darkness blocked vision and spiritual pressure detection, it did not mean that he had no way to deal with it.
There are five human senses, namely eyes, ears, mouth, nose and touch.
Even if he loses his vision and spiritual pressure detection, he still has four other senses to rely on, which is enough to cope with the current situation.
Compared to Tosen Kaname's Seimushi Final Style, Enma Cricket, which deprives him of all senses except touch, the dark environment in front of him is much simpler, at least he doesn't need to rely on touch and intuition to fight back.
At this moment, Lord had no expression on his face and clenched his Zanpakutō.
His sharp eyes were like blades, and he slowly scanned the surroundings. He raised his ears and listened carefully to the movements in the darkness. Once the fourth person's voice appeared again, the magic gun in his hand would penetrate it as quickly as possible. !
But they waited for more than ten minutes, and the sound of breathing never appeared again.
"Did we... make a mistake?"
Constantine asked suspiciously.
Perhaps it was because the light suddenly disappeared and they were so nervous when the crystal lamp fell that they mistook the sounds made by other things for the fourth person's breathing.
Lord frowned, thinking this was impossible.
With his hearing, he could clearly hear the flapping of mosquito wings even dozens of meters away, so the possibility of confusing a person's breathing with other sounds at close range was extremely slim.
"Did we... make a mistake?"
Another voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.
"it's here!"
Lord's eyes suddenly shrank, and he judged the general direction with his amazing hearing, raised his hand and slashed out with a knife.
Uh-huh!
Within a thousandth of a second, the divine spear suddenly shot out a cold light.
No one knew what exactly the magic gun hit. Everyone clearly heard a sound of being penetrated, but when the magic gun retracted, the blade was still as clean as new, without any debris stained on it.
"it's here!"
Another voice came from the darkness.
This time, the voice in the darkness was obviously deliberately imitating what Lord had just said. The hair on Constantine's back suddenly stood up, and he said with a look of horror: "Damn it, something is learning how to speak like us!"
"Damn it, something's trying to talk to us!"
The unknown being in the darkness imitated Constantine's tone and repeated his words.
"Fuck, damn bastard!"
Constantine's heart became angry, he was inexplicably angry, and he cursed loudly into the darkness: "Get out of here quickly, don't hide wherever you can, and play these children's tricks!"
"Fuck, damn bastard!"
"Get out of here quickly, don't hide anywhere and play these children's tricks if you can!"
The next moment, there was no doubt that the same voice came from the darkness.
"Oh, Fake, are you a baby in your mother's arms? You like to imitate people so much!" Constantine cursed angrily.
"Oh, Fake, are you a baby in your mother's arms? You like to imitate people's words so much!"
"You forced me to do this, bastard!"
Constantine laughed angrily, and suddenly opened his mouth and burst out a string of unknown words.
It was obviously a spell used to cast magic, so the syllables and intonation were very weird, and it was difficult for normal creatures to imitate it, but the thing in the dark still followed it accurately.
Constantine stopped at the last word, his face turned the color of liver, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell is this?"
"What the hell is this?"
"ABCDEFG..."
"ABCDEFG..."
"Great Satan Lord, please obey my call!"
"Great Satan Lord, please obey my call!"
"Okay, if you have the ability to learn this on horseback, I don't believe you can even learn the Enochian language of angels!"
"Okay, if you have the ability to learn this on horseback, I don't believe you can even learn the Enochian language of angels!"
Just when Constantine was in a state of anger, he was about to use the angel's Enochian language to teach that evil bastard who was parroting in the dark, but his mouth was suddenly sealed by the ghost.
"Constantine, stop talking."
"Constantine, stop talking."
Lord's voice and the voice in the darkness sounded almost exactly at the same time.
The sounds made at the same time echoed like an accent. Constantine's eyes widened, a look of horror reflected in his pupils.
"It's exactly what I thought. The 'learning' speed of this thing is evolving."
"It's exactly what I thought. The 'learning' speed of this thing is evolving."
Lord closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He already roughly knew the origin of this thing, so he warned Constantine:
"Don't speak from now on. This thing will start by imitating the voices of other creatures, and learn at an incredibly amazing speed, reaching the second stage of being 100% synchronized with the voices of imitating creatures, and will eventually be ahead of the time it imitates. The creature says what they want to say, and the creature they imitate will become the next one."*2
There is no doubt that this is the second phase.
This thing has reached the stage of complete synchronization, and the next step is to advance and surpass them.
Imitation, synchronization, transcendence.
It's a monster that learns your voice and eventually turns you into its own kind.
Where do they come from, why do they imitate the voices of other creatures, do they have entities, etc. Lord is not very clear about these. In the plot of "Doctor Who" he has watched, this ghost thing only appeared once. .
And that encounter was the Doctor's most despairing time for human nature.
