call……
No one responded to Pei Wende's words, and the silent mist was as usual, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing in his ears.
However, Pei Wende did not continue to speak, but just stood there quietly, waiting for the "Ada" who had been following him in the fog to appear.
"Save...my...wife..."
After a long silence, an intermittent voice finally came from the fog.
This voice sounded familiar to Pei Wende, because it was the voice of the four-armed skeleton giant before.
"As expected, it's you, Ada."
Staring straight ahead, the "invisible thing" mentioned by the old man revealed its true appearance in front of Pei Wende for the first time.
"Save...my...wife..."
It was not a vicious ghost in the conventional sense, but an invisible existence that had lost its body and soul as its foundation and was only supported by a ray of obsession.
The endless mist is their bodies, and the lingering obsession is their will...
What appeared in front of Pei Wende at this moment was a skeletal giant composed of large expanses of fog that looked no different from water vapor.
"She is not...the child of the mist..."
The body made entirely of mist is nearly three meters long, and its four thick arms are its iconic symbol.
Ada, who appeared in the form of mist, begged in a low voice, and the mist around it also experienced waves of unstable fluctuations.
"She has only...a ray of obsession...once she is assimilated, she will completely...disappear..."
Listening to Ah Da's words, Pei Wende didn't reply, but he felt a sudden realization in his heart.
Ada is a child born in the mist. In addition to having a longer "lifespan" than ordinary skeleton giants, the skeleton giant he transformed also retains its original wisdom and rationality to a certain extent.
On the other hand, the skeletal giant transformed by Zhu Nu lost the ability to speak at the beginning of the transformation, and only the instinct of maternal love drove it to continue to act.
Once such a Zhu Nu is assimilated by the mist, she will completely become a part of the mist, instead of a special existence like Ada who can still barely retain her own rationality.
"Why do you think I can save her?"
After thinking about this, Pei Wende had a new question in his mind.
At present, this "Ada" seems to have believed that he can save Zhu Nu from the beginning, and most of the current situation was formed under his deliberate guidance.
Pei Wende did not believe that this was just a coincidence, or that Ada was gambling with the lives of his wife and children on the kindness of "outsiders".
"Because...you are His...invited guest."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Almost as Pei Wende was talking to A Da, Zhao Mu on the other side finally made up his mind.
"How do I get out of here."
Looking at Zhou Sheng who looked indifferent, Zhao Mu asked in a low voice.
"Now that you have made up your mind, come with me."
Standing up slowly, Zhou Sheng turned around and walked towards the courtyard outside the house.
Zhao Mu, who was following closely behind, did not dare at all. He immediately got up and chased after him. He followed him down the aisle, across the courtyard, and to the backyard at the end of the entire house.
"It seems you have made up your mind."
After tilting his head slightly, a woman who had been waiting in the backyard for a long time said in a tone that was very familiar to Zhao Mu.
"she is?"
Zhao Mu was very sure that he had never seen such a woman before, but the inexplicable familiarity in the other person's tone made him a little confused.
"She is my wife and my assistant to help you get out of here."
Hearing Zhou Sheng in front of him say this, Zhao Mu opened his mouth in surprise, and even forgot to think about the inexplicable familiarity of the woman.
If this woman is Zhou Sheng's wife, then who was the girl who was planning to leave the fog with him at that time?
Could it be that this scholar who always acted very affectionate actually had two wives?
Then why did he only take one of them with him when he planned to leave the fog?
"Now that you've made up your mind, come over."
Before Zhao Mu could continue to think about the details, the woman not far away turned around and whispered to him in a gentle and graceful tone.
"OK."
Zhao Mu nodded instinctively, and Zhao Mu, who had never felt that the adult world was so complicated, simply gave up thinking.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how many wives Zhou Sheng has, as long as they can help him get out of the fog.
"This is a channeling ceremony, a channeling ceremony specifically used to communicate with the outside world."
However, although Zhao Mu did not ask further questions, but with the attitude of "letting the trader know what he was about to encounter," Zhou Sheng decided to introduce to the other party what was going to happen next as usual.
"There are two normal ways to leave this fog..."
"One of them is to forcefully leave the fog and go to the outside world as 'myself'."
"The biggest advantage of this method is that who you are now will also be who you are in the outside world. No matter your identity, appearance, or even abilities, there will be no changes."
"But the price you pay for this way of leaving is that without your body and soul, you are destined to not be able to exist in the outside world for too long."
"As time goes by, sooner or later you will return to this fog, and then completely become those invisible things in the fog that have lost their 'self'."
With Zhou Sheng's little explanation, Zhao Mu began to understand little by little the ways to leave this fog and the prices they each required.
"As for the second method, it is the method you are using now - channeling."
"People living in the fog have no soul or body. All they have is a ray of obsession and will. Therefore, if you want to act in the outside world, you must rely on others."
"And what the outside world lacks most is mortals who are willing to trade their souls and bodies."
"As long as you can get in touch with them and make a deal, you can continue to live as them."
"At least until the physical body dies and the soul is reincarnated, those ghosts and gods will not notice that you have replaced their existence."
Zhao Mu, who was listening carefully to Zhou Shen's explanation, did not notice that the moment he officially set foot in the backyard, a huge psychic circle with him as the center was gradually taking shape.
tumultuous!
Standing in the sky above the house and looking down, I saw a strange formation composed of complex concentric circles appearing out of thin air, and constantly radiating fluctuations of the vitality of heaven and earth.
The fog near the house dissipated at this moment, and even the cunning moonlight shone on this land for the first time in a long time.
