"Fuck! Stop, stop, Li Tianheng, stop it, I only have this vest!" Seeing the black vest covered with snot, the bald man was shocked. He didn't care about brotherly loyalty, and hurriedly pulled Li Tianheng away violently. Of course, the above is just a small episode. In fact, at the same moment when he pulled the young man away, Peng Hu and Tang Meng had already turned their eyes and looked at the expressionless man in suit and glasses in front of them.
"Hey, what is you carrying on your back... Kong Ling? What's wrong with this girl?"
"Something happened during this period, the process is like this..."
As expected, since the two parties have known each other for a long time and already know each other well, Peng Hu, who knows the personality of the man with glasses, did not talk nonsense at all and went straight to the point. Zhao Ping did follow up and elaborated immediately. , briefly narrated the past in a long and short way, telling how he and Kong Ling met Qi not long ago, how he was captured, and the process of Kong Ling's sneak attack and rescue.
It is also worth mentioning that, logically speaking, with the bespectacled man's deeply indifferent character, there is no need for him to tell Peng Hu that the three of them had passed by earlier. After all, the matter has already passed. Instead of wasting time explaining the process, it is better to discuss what just happened. Disappeared. Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since it is completely unnecessary, why does Zhao Ping have to recount it? It's very simple, because he wants to tell Peng Hu and the others one thing in a narrative way, a terrible truth that all executors must know, that is...
The mummy is immortal. Even if it is destroyed or even wiped out to ashes, it will not be long before the opponent will be reborn again!
Unexpectedly, after Kong Ling paid the price of backlash and coma, what he got in exchange was for useless efforts. Although he saved himself, the threat of death still existed, still tightly surrounding all the executors in the castle!
"What? You, you said that the mummy was once destroyed in the soul state by Kongling? It was resurrected not long ago?" The result was exactly as expected. After listening to Zhao Ping's narration, across from him, Peng Hu, who had been secretly rejoicing just now, suddenly They were startled and shaking wildly. Li Tianheng and Tang Meng, who were also listening, also changed their expressions almost immediately when they heard the news. Especially Li Tianheng, Xu really didn't want to believe it. Before Peng Hu finished questioning, the young man looked at Zhao Ping immediately argued: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. You have to know that this is a real space. How can a dragon be resurrected in a reality that is not even half false? What's more, even Kong Ling herself said that the mummy was burned to ashes by her with hell fire. , not only the body was reduced to ashes, but even the soul was burned away!"
Obviously, relying on his own accumulated mission experience, combined with Chen Xiaoyao's long-term indoctrination, Li Tianheng is no longer what he used to be. He is no longer the newcomer who didn't understand anything. Now he has basically understood things. He knew that the power of the locusts was all kinds of strange, and no physical attack could harm them. Even if they used supernatural props, they would only be able to repel them briefly. If he wanted to completely eliminate the locomotives, there was only one way, and that was to find a way to make the locusts fly away. , completely erasing the spiritual energy representing the locust, and only in this way will the locust truly disappear.
If that's the case, then...
Why?
With a powerful soul comparable to that of Li Ji, Kong Lingming has successfully eliminated the mummy worm using sneak attacks, but why can the mummy worm be resurrected? Just like that, he returned to the world again with his soul completely shattered! ?
……………
What Li Tianheng wants to express is very simple, that is, he does not believe that mummies can be resurrected after their souls are scattered. This is almost the same as the reason why humans can still survive after losing their heads. You can imagine the shock it brings, except In addition, Li Tianheng also specifically mentioned reality, mentioning that the resurrection of the worm took place in real space!
I remember that in the past supernatural missions, many locusts had the ability to achieve something similar to resurrection. However, those so-called resurrections were not real resurrections. They either represented false hallucinations or did not harm the roots of the locusts at all. But what happened this time? ? This time, the mummy's soul was indeed gone, and was eliminated by the ethereal spirit's soul that left the body. Unexpectedly, just a moment later, the other party actually resurrected in reality. It is conceivable that after learning about this, Li Tianheng was not shocked. ? It is reasonable to question when you are shocked.
"Yes, Li Tianheng is right, I think so too. Most of us know how powerful the soul of that girl Kong Ling is. If even Kong Ling herself said that she eliminated the mummy worm, then the mummy worm must be dead. As for the The inexplicable resurrection of the mummy...wait a minute, is there some kind of deception?" Li Tianheng finished his words, Peng Hu also nodded his head and agreed, but unlike Li Tianheng's disbelief, Peng Hu did not question Zhao Ping , but put forward a personal guess. As for whether the guess is true? On the opposite side, Zhao Ping shook his head directly and said: "It shouldn't be an illusion. I admit that the mummy is very powerful. With its ability to teleport, he can kill anyone in an instant. However, from the initial video preview to the earlier personal contact, I found that the mummy seems to be He does not have the ability to create false hallucinations, which means that he cannot affect humans at the sensory or mental level. The evidence is that the ethereal spirit was present when the mummy was disintegrated. With her special ethereal eyes, if it was an hallucination, she would definitely be able to detect it, but In fact, Kongling didn’t talk about it.”
"this……"
As an excellent lawyer who is good at summarizing, Zhao Ping talked in an orderly manner in front of Li Tianheng and Peng Hu, and refuted their speculations one by one with analysis. Sure enough, seeing that all the guesses were rejected, Li Tianheng became dumbfounded. , Peng Hu was also at a loss, and then they just looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a moment, but Tang Meng, who was always listening, frowned slightly in silence, and his expression gradually became serious .
The change in Tang Meng's expression inevitably attracted Zhao Ping's attention. Seeing Zhao Ping looking at him, Tang Meng was direct. He pondered for a moment, and then made a tentative guess in an uncertain tone: "Well, I remember when I was on the third floor. , we once saw a star array painted on the wall, and Cheng Ying personally determined that it was related to magic. Is it possible..."
Tang Meng did not continue to speak the rest of the words, but hesitated mid-sentence. But even if she hesitated, the people present quickly understood the meaning, especially Zhao Ping. Not only did he understand what Tang Meng wanted to express, , and even realized the deeper meaning.
(It seems that your potential is being gradually stimulated. I am looking forward to how far you will grow in the future.) Looking at Tang Meng's thoughtful expression, Zhao Ping secretly sighed. Of course, this is not the point. The point is just now. Tang Meng reminded him! One sentence brought him into a certain period of thought, that is, not long ago, when he was first avoiding the worms, Zhao Ping still had a magic conjecture. No, it was not conventional magic, but even rarer and rarer than conventional magic. of……
dark magic!
As the only person in the team who can do the reasoning and analysis like He Fei, it is impossible for Zhao Ping not to care about the starry array painted on the third floor. Through Cheng Ying's understanding of the array, combined with an afternoon meeting, Zhao Ping After what he saw, Zhao Ping gradually discovered that the mummy nymph was most likely not a nymph, at least it was very different from the spiritual nymphs he had seen before. First of all, it was the way of existence. On the surface, the mummy nymph seemed to have an entity. It can kill people with its own hands and seize souls, it can release black insects to search for sentience, and it can even swallow and absorb the corpses of the deceased through physical means. All these performances prove that the mummy is an entity. However, this so-called entity is accompanied by many mysteries, the most of which One of the things that is difficult to understand is that there is always an invisible invisible magic circle following the mummies, which can only be seen with the ethereal open eyes. Because of this, Zhao Ping has to wonder what kind of existence the mummies are? It is said that doubt is like a seed. Once it is planted, it will often take root and grow bigger and bigger. When doubt evolves to the extreme and evolves to the point where you are always concerned about it, in the end, no matter how much he doesn't believe it, he can only put it aside. It is determined to be a product of magic, a special kind of locust created by black magic. Since its understanding of magic is basically zero, maybe the locust spawned by magic has a unique mechanism that can be resurrected infinitely?
Zhao Ping thinks so, but unfortunately, no matter how detailed the description process is, no matter how sufficient the reasons for the speculation are, the above are only part of the mysteries brought about by the mummy, because in addition to the extremely special way of existence of the other party, there is another point that must be mentioned. And, that is...
Who is Elaine! ?
Who is that unknown being whose name sounds suspiciously like a woman?
Why has the mummy been chanting this person's name since it appeared? Why is it that every time someone is arrested, the person’s whereabouts must be inquired first? Who is that person named Elaine? How could the mummy beetles be so swarming and searching frantically?
To be honest, if the mummy was not too concerned about this person, and every time it caught someone, it would always take time to interrogate. Otherwise, with the terrifying strength of the mummy, more people would have died, and it was precisely because of the reason that the mummy was arrested in the first place. The mummy wasted time to ask, so it gave Kong Ling time to rescue him. Since the mummy is so close to this person, then, who is Elaine? What does it mean for Mummy Man? If the executor finds the person named Elaine, will the ending allow the mummy to stop killing? And once the killing is terminated, does the mission truly complete?
As expected of being the second wisest man recognized by the team, Zhao Ping focused on analysis and detailed reasoning under Tang Meng's reminder, and soon came to two analytical results that were beneficial to breaking the situation. First, the existence form of the mummy depended on magic. With the blessing of magic, the opponent can be resurrected indefinitely. The second is Elaine. He believes that as long as he can find this person, or let this person meet with the mummy, there will be hope to break the magic and even stop the mummy from killing. Once the killing is stopped, this mission will most likely be completed!
As for...
As for why the mummy was absorbed by the magic circle that suddenly appeared just now? And will the mummies reappear after being absorbed?
The answer is I don't know, it's not clear. As described before, due to his shallow understanding of magic, no matter how hard Zhao Ping tried, he couldn't guess the answer out of thin air without understanding the nature of magic. The only thing he knew was , the disappearance time of the mummy hawk is at night, and the time is exactly at the overall intersection of day and night, that is, 18 o'clock.
(The accident happened at 18 o'clock, at the key node of black and white alternation, so can I use this as an initial starting point to start trying?)
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping frowned slightly and started to try, trying to expand his ideas using time as an initial clue, but...
At the moment when he was just running his brain to analyze, a voice came out of Zhao Ping's mind. No, not only the voice came out of Zhao Ping's mind, but Peng Hu, Li Tianheng, Tang Meng and even everyone who was right in front of him heard the voice. No matter who they are or where they are, as long as the executor is in charge, a voice will appear in their mind, and a very familiar voice will inform:
"I'm He Fei, listen up, everyone is gathering on the third floor of the castle immediately. The location is still in the end room."
………
Describing whether a person is strong or weak does not depend on the superficial level of force. The key is to look at the synthesis. The synthesis includes wisdom, force, experience, reaction, reason and other conditions. To be sure, except for the slight lack of force, , He Fei basically met all the conditions, and it was precisely because the conditions were met that He Fei was not idle during the few hours of hiding. Perhaps his experience during this period was not as thrilling as that of Zhao Ping or Peng Hu, but He Fei The effort they put in was far greater than the above few people, and greater than all the executors who were hiding in order to survive.
Time returns to two hours ago.
Outside the window, the setting sun slowly sank, landing one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then released the last red halo.
On the third floor of the castle, he was still in the luxurious and weird room. When he looked closely, he saw that the door had been damaged long ago and was violently removed from the door frame. At the same time, He Fei was facing the wall and looking up at the magic of the wall. In the formation, staring at the central oil painting, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao stood on both sides behind them.
What happened was not complicated. From the moment the team's position was exposed by Xie Xiaona, Cheng Ying dragged He Fei to escape first, and fled in all directions like the other executors. The purpose of dispersing was to avoid the annihilation of the entire army and to avoid as much as possible. There was a risk of group destruction. As a result, He Fei did the right thing. Since the mummies did not have the ability to clone themselves, the dispersion achieved good results. As the executors spread everywhere, the mummies with more targets lost the ability to destroy everyone in a group. Even though He released black insects to search for them, but without the means of avatars, he could only attack the targets one by one. He Fei relied on this advantage to escape from danger with Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao who was following him. During the run, similar to Peng Hu and others, Cheng Ying originally planned to rush to the west area on the second floor to hide, but strangely, while running, He Fei suddenly made a suggestion and asked to separate, intending to let Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao continue Hide on the second floor and go to the third floor of the castle alone.
The result is predictable. Although she didn’t understand why He Fei wanted to go to the third floor, Cheng Ying decisively refused when it was clear that the space on the third floor was extremely limited. Although she could not stop He Fei, she still insisted that there was no doubt that the space on the third floor was extremely limited. She followed He Fei closely with an attitude of following He Fei wherever he went. Cheng Ying was like this and Chen Xiaoyao was like this. In desperation, He Fei had no choice but to take the two of them back to the third floor. Soon Then he came to the strange room with the star array again. Of course, in order to prevent emergencies, under Cheng Ying's order, Chen Xiaoyao temporarily played the role of a saboteur and forcibly tore down the door.
The reasons for tearing down the door were clear to the three of them, but there were also things that were not so clear, and that was...
It was thought that He Fei came here to do something at all the risk, but unexpectedly when he came to the room, He Fei did nothing or said anything. He just stared at the wall like he did when everyone gathered earlier. It felt very strange. , because everyone had already seen it, whether it was the wall array, the central oil painting, or the strange text that seemed like a spell. However, although they had already seen it, He Fei returned again and continued to look at it for a whole hour!
But then again, even if He Fei behaves strangely and inexplicably, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao are also not ordinary characters. Both of them are smart people with excellent IQs, and both understand He Fei's abilities. Seeing this, the two of them did not He was disturbed by his words, and instead of curiously asking, he immediately surrounded He Fei in the center and was on guard, always on guard against accidents.
Fortunately, no danger occurred during this period. After looking at the wall for a full hour, the next step was...
In front of the wall, He Fei made a move and kept his brows furrowed. The college student stopped observing and turned back silently, looked back at Chen Xiaoyao, and then spoke, asking a question that surprised Chen Xiaoyao: "By the way, Xiaoyao, remember that time After watching the video preview, you seemed to have said something, seemingly about a zombie? Can you explain what that thing is?"
That's right, just as He Fei asked above, when he was watching the video in the carriage, Chen Xiaoyao used a fearful tone to squeeze out the word corpse monster, and this word was indeed heard by all the executors, including He Fei. Hearing such unfamiliar words in his ears, it stands to reason that He Fei would ask on the spot. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the train slowed to a stop and opened the door. Due to the lack of time, He Fei had to give up asking for the time being. Of course, he gave up temporarily. He just gave up temporarily and stepped off the train to enter the mission. He also observed the wall. Finally, as the observation ended, He Fei asked, formally asking Chen Xiaoyao what a corpse demon was.
"Eh? Lao He, why do you suddenly ask this? The original answer to the zombie demon was just a guess of mine. In fact, from the moment Cheng Ying explained what magic was, I changed my mind. After all, mummies and Western magic It's related, and the corpse demon is a typical oriental alien, so logically there should be no connection." Seeing He Fei coldly asked herself to explain the corpse demon, behind her, Cheng Ying was stunned, and Chen Xiaoyao, the person being asked, was even more shocked. He simply shrugged and shook his head to express misunderstanding, and clarified that he was just guessing. Chen Xiaoyao hurriedly clarified, but He Fei was not affected by the young Taoist priest's change of opinion. Instead, he persisted and continued: "It doesn't matter, I just want to understand what a corpse is." Demon, if you know, then explain to me what a corpse demon is."
"Gudu."
"Well, okay, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you, but... the zombie thing is a bit scary. When I say it, you and Cheng Ying must hold still. If you are accidentally I'm scared to death, I won't be held responsible."
Sure enough, under He Fei's repeated questioning, and under Cheng Ying's curious gaze, Chen Xiaoyao, who always talked nonsense and liked to make fun of things, miraculously did not make jokes this time, but could not help but swallow as if recalling a very terrible past event. He spat, and then gave another warning. It was only after the warning that Chen Xiaoyao said something in a serious tone, a terrifying narrative that did not scare He Fei to death but almost paralyzed him to death. An explanation about the corpse demon.
"Pindao said before that this world is extremely rich and colorful. There are all things in the world that can be seen with the naked eye, and there are also evil spirits in the dark world that cannot be seen. Evil spirits refer to all souls and creatures composed of spiritual energy, and It is worth noting that the key reason why the locust is difficult to see is that the locust itself is a void energy body composed of spirit. Spiritual energy is an invisible substance, so humans cannot see the locust. In other words, as long as it is a locust, it is convenient for them. They must have the ability to be invisible. The reason why some worms can be seen is because the worms are so powerful that they don't care whether they are invisible or not. This is just like Li worms or earthbound spirits, which can easily crush humans. With such great strength, do they still need to deliberately hide themselves and be cautious?"
Facing He Fei and Cheng Ying's curious gaze, Chen Xiaoyao first used an analogy with a conventional spirit body to set the stage. The purpose was to remind the two of them that worms are invisible, or that most worms evolved from spiritual energy are invisible. What can't be touched by sight, let's not talk about the inner meaning for the moment. After saying that, after glancing at He Fei and the two people who were silent in front of him, Chen Xiaoyao talked non-stop and took advantage of the situation to talk about the main key.
"Since most worms are transformed from spiritual energy, they have evolved an independent system in this way, which is an advanced system of worms that only spiritual system worms can participate in. By killing living people, spiritual system worms can The method of absorbing the resentment of the dead increases one's own strength, and then gradually evolves and advances. Souls, lonely souls, and Li Qi all rely on this method. Even the earth-bound spirits with great magical powers basically rely on this method to advance, but! "
Having said this, Chen Xiaoyao's expression changed. His already serious face became even more serious the moment he finished speaking. He was so serious as never before. Then he changed the subject and continued: "But most of them don't mean all of them." , although things like worms are basically transformed from spiritual energy, in fact, in such a rich and huge world, any exceptions may occur, and the one that represents the exception is the corpse demon, a kind of creature that is not transformed from pure spiritual energy. It’s a different kind of thing that evolved from souls and corpses together!”
