"What do you mean? You mean these guys? But what are they for?"
Curtis really couldn't figure out what key role these guys who had been almost eaten up could play.
"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you mercifully."
It's obviously what you want to say, right?
Unknowingly, Curtis also learned to say a few words in secret.
It seemed like he didn't even notice it himself.
I don't know when, my behavior became more like this host.
"These people were all captured by the magic mirror, right?"
"...Well, it can be said that this magic mirror is indeed very powerful. If it is unprepared, no matter how powerful it is, it will inevitably not be attacked. Isn't that the same for you?"
Li Yi rolled his eyes.
"In this case, look at what these people are like now. Is it because their mental power and consciousness have been almost eaten away, leaving only a little bit of consciousness left to survive?"
It was Curtis' turn to roll his eyes inwardly.
Isn't this already obvious?
This goes without saying, right?
"Well, it seems you agree with this statement."
I totally agree!
You have always been talking to yourself, and this is already a fact. Does it matter whether I agree or not?
Just when Curtis couldn't help but want to say something, he heard Li Yi say this.
"Then have you ever thought about why the Kagemusha locked them up instead of just throwing them away after using them since these were originally humans and are now basically useless people with only spiritual bodies?"
Well?
This sentence immediately stunned Curtis.
He hadn't thought about it.
Originally, these human-turned-spiritual creatures all had their own personalities, but this was not the case originally.
It's just because they have been constantly absorbing their spirit and consciousness that they become less human and less ghostly.
That is to say, the current situation has nothing to do with these people.
They are like the raw material supply house.
If something is taken away, you can only watch helplessly without any reaction.
To be honest, anyone would feel deep despair in this state of neither death nor life.
Logically speaking, all their use value has been absorbed.
But even so, Shadow Magic Mirror had no intention of letting them go.
Instead, they were imprisoned into the deeper second layer of the mirror world.
It is obvious that this does not allow them to have the slightest involvement with the outside world.
It's like a wallet that has been used up but has been safely placed in a safe.
The principle is much the same as a six-digit password protecting a balance of less than two digits.
"When you say that, it seems like that's what happened... So, does this have anything to do with your plan?"
Curtis thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case, so he couldn't help asking.
Li Yi answered in the affirmative.
"Of course!"
"And without them, this plan will not be realized at all. If you don't tell me, you will eventually become like them, unable to survive or die. Moreover, I guess even you can't run away."
Li Yi's words were shocking, making Curtis couldn't help but become wary.
"What do you mean by that...are you afraid that I will run away alone?"
"hehe."
Li Yi smiled and did not follow what the other party said, but continued the topic just now.
"Of course this requires some preparation time. This is why I encouraged the two to fight first. One shadow warrior will control the restoration of the mirror world, and the other Li Fusheng will never let go of his creator, and It’s not that he is a person who repays kindness with revenge, but for him, he already belongs to an independent entity, and is not a vassal or puppet. Since he has the opportunity to become independent, he must naturally avoid future troubles.”
Li Yi rambled a lot, but Curtis finally understood.
To put it simply, this host believes that since the Shadow Mirror keeps these people instead of directly killing or discarding them, it is because these people are not useless, but are actually very important.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that these mental powers and consciousness have been exhausted. In layman's terms, the spirit body with only one breath left is still carefully placed like a thief guard. There is no way to know the second half after entering the mirror world. Go into layer space.
Then they must play a vital role!
At this time, a wailing sound suddenly came from the group of people who had turned into spirit creatures. Looking at the sound, they found that a spirit creature in the crowd was not approaching at all without anyone approaching. Disappeared without warning.
If it hadn't been for the spirit creature that was supposed to be a human being struggling and screaming before disappearing, no one would have noticed this strange phenomenon.
"How is this going?"
Curtis, who suddenly felt that things were starting to get weird, couldn't figure out why this happened.
Then he saw that Li Yi's playful and smiling expression just now was gone.
Instead, there was a solemn look on his face.
Then, he said something.
"Let's go. The battle over there should be over soon. It's still too late to go now."
Then as his words fell, there was another wailing sound from the crowd of spirit creatures.
This time it was louder!
Seeing this scene, Li Yi showed a rare expression of anxiety.
"Quick! Go there now, otherwise it will be too late!"
Just as Curtis was about to ask what you meant, he heard a loud noise.
This time it wasn't that someone disappeared from the crowd.
Instead, a large piece of the sky split open!
Curtis was shocked!
What's happening here?
Of course, this situation has also occurred before when the music box was released.
However, it was quickly repaired instantly by the Shadow Magic Mirror itself after hearing the news.
But he knew very well that the destruction this time was not caused by him or Li Yi.
As for those spiritual creatures that don't even have the power to protect themselves, it's even more impossible.
"What exactly is going on?"
Curtis asked with confusion and surprise on his face. He felt that his host must know something.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be asked to rush over suddenly.
In fact, he just wanted to use his ability to drive these unconscious spiritual creatures away together.
"There's no time to explain. Once you get there, just follow my instructions."
Li Yi did not explain, but gave an order with an anxious expression and took the first step.
Looking at his retreating back, Curtis suddenly felt the same emotion for some reason.
It was as if his plan was about to be implemented, but something unexpected happened.
The emergence of this kind of emotion couldn't help but make Curtis feel a little bit of emotion about the host's so-called plan that he had never felt before.
That’s a human emotion called curiosity.
This is simply incredible!
You must know that from the beginning of the birth of the system organism to the time it enters the universe, what has been instilled in it, and what is inherent in its genes, is the iron law that survival is above all else.
No matter how they try to imitate humans, they always strictly adhere to this iron law and dare not go beyond the limit.
Because I don’t know which generation of system creatures once said this.
That is also a widely circulated motto of mankind.
Curiosity killed the cat!
Curtis didn't know why cats were used as examples in this aphorism.
It must be a creature that is very closely related to humans.
But he knew very well that since even intelligent creatures like humans recognized the dangers of curiosity, there must be nothing wrong.
In contrast to the previous Curtis, not only would he not obey the host's orders and go immediately, but he would become more cautious and move slowly.
But now he is different.
"Hey? You came here pretty quickly. Where are those people? Are they okay? Except for the two who exploded, how are the others?"
Li Yi lay on the hillside, watching the battle below, while not forgetting to care about the progress of the group of spiritual creatures.
"Don't worry, they won't run around as long as I'm here. They'll be here soon."
Curtis glanced down the mountain, feeling frightened.
Fortunately, he didn't take a shortcut just now, but honestly followed the path left by the host.
Otherwise, the spirit body that I just condensed will be gone right now!
The power of these two guys fighting is simply beyond imagination!
By the way, can the host's plan really succeed?
Curtis couldn't help but have doubts. When he saw the solemn look on the face of the host Li Yi, this doubt became even deeper.
I couldn't help but asked again.
"Hey! Are you sure?"
