"...nice job."
The burst of lightning passed directly in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and also caused the woman who had been holding the white buckler to stand on the spot to focus her attention to the side. The guard who was originally blocking Duan Qing's front was moving. The shield movement also stopped for a moment as the lightning passed by, and the panic that had not yet been expressed was broken by a sigh that followed: "Every move you made successfully diverted his attention, and also Successfully caused some misunderstandings in him.”
"You, you..." The thunder light gradually faded away with the bang that echoed through the world again, and at the same time, the bodies of the two players overlapped gradually appeared: "This... how... is it possible... …”
"Actually, it's very simple. With the lightning speed you showed earlier, it's almost impossible to defend against your attack - except, of course, the Lingbing lady in front of you."
Like a weak patient, Duan Qing, who was sitting curled up in the corner, hugged the huge black gun body and let out a few low laughs: "If you can't resist the speed that exceeds your reaction, naturally you can't resist the speed that follows." The incoming attack, let alone a lightning-type attack, even the simplest slashes and thrusts may be fatal."
"Since we can't avoid this problem, we have to start from another direction." Not paying attention to the opponent's fist that was close at hand and almost hitting the tip of his nose, the gray-robed magician tilted his head and raised his head. Own sight: "For example - as long as I can find a way to invalidate the attacks that fall on me."
"You...but..."
The sluggish pupils dilated a little with the opponent's words. The archer player who maintained the forward posture also staggered a bit when he wanted to move forward again: "Thunder and lightning... attack, what? Maybe... so... easily..."
"I am also a magician, and my magic attribute is the earth attribute." Shaking his head, Duan Qing finally sighed and said his explanation again: "The earth attribute is naturally different from the wind attribute magic. Resistance, the dissipated electric current itself will not cause much harm to my body. As for the main damage part-"
"I didn't expect that this thing could swallow so much energy." He let out a low laugh, and at the same time he quietly put away a cubic magic disk that was hovering next to him: "Maybe I should find an opportunity to continue researching it, at least to figure out how to use it... hmm."
"Or should we ask Kyle II?" He raised his head and looked back at the face of Xue Ling Huan Bing who was gradually approaching with inquiring eyes: "Since they are both ancient relics in ancient times, that guy should have more Do you know something about it?"
"Have you not been reminding me before that the relationship between you and that guy is not very good now?"
With a sword, the head of the player named Gong Sheng, who was still crumbling, was chopped off to the side. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was answering Duan Qing with a curled lip, could not help but focus on the archer's body, which had a big bloody hole. On the chest: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really miserable... Do we need to deal with him in such a cruel way?"
"After all, this guy was a little too arrogant before." Tugging the corner of his mouth helplessly, the weak Duan Qing panted and moved his body and threw the huge gun in his hand aside: "And now I have nothing but similar... Apart from foreign props like magic disks, you can't use any decent moves or magic. If you want to complete the final fatal blow in this extreme enemy-baiting battle, you can only rely on the gun you dropped. ”
"Weren't the parts that you composed of were thrown away in the previous control room? Why do you still have a set?" Then Xue Ling Huan Bing asked this question: "You actually lost my treatment cabin side... It's early Did you expect something like this to happen?"
"Maybe, in short, in order to prevent various accidents from happening, I have to leave some inheritance with you." Holding his shoulder that was hurt by the gun's rebound, Duan Qing sat close to the corner of the wall. He kept trembling: "This is one of the trial versions I have tested countless times before. There are no major problems except for the recoil and excessive noise. As long as the physical condition allows it, the accuracy and damage will be improved." ...Well, I think you used it very smoothly just now."
"Don't get me wrong, these props are just a temporary means for me to deal with threats." After kicking aside the corpse that was already glowing in front of him, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied expressionlessly: "I don't plan to change my job. Sniper, you’d better find a way to solve these problems caused by the trial.”
"At least you can deal with the key enemies at the critical moment, right?" Duan Qing spread his left hand, gritted his teeth and struggled for a while, turned around and showed a meaningful smile: "And as long as it can attract the enemy, this gun There’s no need to aim at all, just shoot with your eyes closed.”
"Hmph." There was also a smile in the corner of his eyes. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had half turned around, then walked towards the depths of the upper and lower spaces that had been turned into ruins with a cold snort: "Then next -"
"Do you want me to deal with that Kyle II?"
When she asked such a question, the gaze on her folded arms became a little more serious. The tall magical mechanical figure that was stared at by this serious gaze also stood quietly in the ruins. At the bottom of the body, there was no change in his posture and movements towards the dark metal furnace. Gritting his teeth and recovering his last bits of physical strength, Duan Qing, who had blocked Xue Ling Huan Bing's next move, then struggled to stand up, and the falling rocks also followed him along with his little wings. The wall slid down and rolled around the ruins. Finally, as the man in gray robe moved forward, he stopped next to some of the metal debris: "What a pity. It seems that they have all been destroyed by the previous ones." Energy bursts and lightning attacks destroyed it."
"Are you referring to those tools and items similar to those used in magic workshops?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who followed, frowned and looked around: "There is no way, in order to destroy that mysterious enemy, Kyle II has tried his best, but——"
"It was indeed blown clean enough." She also shook her head, leaned over and picked up an unknown object at her feet that looked like it had been melted into a piece of metal iron slag: "It was originally corroded by time for thousands of years. It has existed for a long time, and I want to remain intact under such conditions... Hehe, I advise you not to think so much."
"It doesn't matter, at least we have seen that scene before." He casually threw aside a piece of burnt thigh bone that also rolled to his feet. Duan Qing, who stood up, finally focused his attention on the right scene. Front: "And——"
"Even so, there are some things that are not easily destroyed."
Following his pointing finger, Xue Ling Huan Bing then set her sights in the direction in front of where Kyle II was still standing. She walked slowly and cautiously towards the back of that tall and heavy body. , the countless scars carved on the body began to gradually become clear: "Well, it is indeed a respectable magic weapon, and it is also a difficult opponent to deal with."
"Don't always think about fighting, okay? Do business first." Duan Qing's voice came from behind her: "Let's investigate the furnace. There should be alchemical residues in it."
"Did you come to a conclusion so quickly?" Still not finding any effective feedback from Kyle II in front of him, Xueling Huanbing carefully turned his eyes and hands forward at the same time: "Can you still learn from these residues? Can you tell what kind of experiments they have done in this magic workshop?"
"There are many ways to bring the dead back to life in alchemy, but all of them are evil methods." Duan Qing, who answered her, seemed to be moving in other directions of the ruins of the room: "For example, replacing broken body parts with machinery. Or borrowing the bodies of other beasts and monsters to replace rebirth, although it sounds good, but the 'people' after the transformation often have various irreversible problems."
"In the past history of alchemy in the free world, there has been only one theory and doctrine that maintains the original form of human beings to obtain immortality."
The voice paused for a moment, and then continued with Duan Qing's deeper and deeper tone: "It is more realistic than a theory, it is a legend. After all, existences like 'soul', even now, are It’s not proven in any way.”
"Are you talking about those undead creatures?" He interrupted the other party with a surprised voice, and Xueling Huanbing, who was inspecting the abandoned furnace, turned around and said, "The so-called primitive resurrection technique, Is it a spell that reinjects a person’s soul back into the corpse?”
"Although it's not completely correct, it's almost the same." Duan Qing's voice was still buried in the corner where Xueling Huanbing could not see: "Anyway, as long as it can be resurrected, it doesn't matter what kind of container the soul occupies. On the contrary, the body may be more compatible with one's soul, making it easier to 'occupy' it... haha."
"Of course, this theory did not survive in the long history of history."
It seems that something useful has been found, and the sound coming from the gray-robed magician turning something has become much smoother: "Not to mention the difficulty of preserving the body, the difficulty of preserving the soul, and many other problems. First of all, they cannot guarantee the extraction. Regarding the problem of soul possession, those resurrected people who are completely different from their previous lives and do not move in the same way as normal people do not look like the products of their successful extraction of souls."
"Judging from the current situation, even if the great alchemical resurrection project is abandoned, this process of extraction and reoccupation is still retained by some guys with ulterior motives." Picking up a strange-looking alchemical tool in his hand Throwing it aside, Duan Qing's voice became extremely low: "I don't know what kind of resources and technology this laboratory retained that made them choose this place as a secret base, but judging from the results, they It should be a success."
"Although people have been massacred."
Seemingly remembering the remaining recordings he had heard in the central control room, Xueling Huanbing looked back at Duan Qing and frowned again: "Most of the researchers who were massacred in the entire experimental area were also Are you implicated because of this incident?”
"It's hard to say at this point." Duan Qing replied absentmindedly as he stood up and looked around at other corners of the ruins: "But if the experimenters are not good people, it seems that the magic guards who were supposed to be responsible for the safety of this place are also there. A reason to switch sides, but the problem is—"
"Unless it is equipped with extremely high AI, the magic machine itself does not have any value judgment system." Patting his weak body, he turned back and looked at each other with Xueling Huanbing: "The so-called 'blasphemy of the dead' In their eyes, anti-human experiments such as the 'Resurrection of the Dead' are not a reason worth doing. On the contrary, under the leadership of the researchers in this laboratory, they should be more likely to help."
"There is still a link missing, the link that connects all the truth." The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded slowly and responded: "Some of the researchers concealed their research on immortality. The existence of the undead has become a fact, and so has the result of the magic machines massacring them. As for why these two points can be connected-"
"The research in front of us may be the answer."
Bypassing the huge body of Kyle II in front of him, he walked to the side of Xue Ling Huan Bing again, but his forward gaze did not shift at all, and fell straight on the same energy in front of him. In the metal furnace that was charred by the explosion: "..."
"Anyway, I don't understand what you people are doing with the alchemy." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who shook his head and curled his lips, then moved his body slightly away: "And after After so many years and our destruction, there won’t be much left.”
"This is the difference between laymen and insiders." Duan Qing responded with a proud smile: "What kind of technology and what kind of means did these people use - they The footprints left behind are very clear to those of us with discerning eyes.”
"Look, this is obviously—"
He stretched out his hand forward, and seemed to have discovered something, but the words he wanted to say suddenly stopped in mid-air. The tall body behind the two people suddenly trembled violently. , that familiar sound also rose up again with the harsh sound of metal friction.
"It's a zero-life form transformation."
