Chapter 89 Mysterious Lock

Just as Li Ang was talking nonsense seriously, there was a new situation in front of the stairs.

A large number of missing people in Buddha form, with kind smiles on their faces, fell to the ground without saying a word, and fell on the stairs.

After the examination, it was found that their energy was as thin as a thread, their spirits were weak, and they were extremely weak.

"The grotto is increasing its efforts to extract the power of faith to counter Michael's sword of flame attack."

The side of truth has profound knowledge and said hoarsely: "If Michael continues to chop, these people will be whipped to death at an accelerated rate."

Just as he said, Michael glanced at the ordinary people below who fell like leeks, remained silent for a moment, and slowly canceled the eternal flame on the long sword.

The four wings behind him also converged back into two wings.

"Everyone here has become a hostage..."

Nebula at the front of the team rubbed his brows in distress and directed several other companions to lift up the ordinary people who fell on the ground and give them diluted energy-replenishing potions.

From the corner of her eyes, she imperceptibly glanced at the calm expressions of the extraordinary beings at the bottom of the stairs, and sighed silently in her heart.

Most extraordinary beings are relative pragmatists and egoists. In their eyes, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Indian civilians may not be more valuable than 10,000 game currency points.

Even if they are their own compatriots, it is not worth risking their lives to rescue - at this time, they will shout "the lives of extraordinary people are also lives" and "freedom and equality reject oppression" instead of "with great power comes great responsibility" .

This is also the black humor of the killing game.

Good people who are kind, kind, have a strong sense of responsibility, and are willing to sacrifice themselves for others will have a harder time living in the early stages of the game.

However, those egoists who abandon their conscience, morality, integrity, and bottom line early and firmly believe in social Darwinism have a higher probability of survival.

Xingyun was calm. She had realized this a long time ago and would not be like the pure and kind-hearted little girls in some literary and artistic works.

Accusing others of such "selfish" behavior - everyone is just a pawn struggling to survive in a killing game. It is already very difficult for oneself to survive. I really don't have the energy to criticize other people's good and evil treatment of ordinary people. .

"It still doesn't work..."

Michael put his sword on the ground, thought for a moment, and took a few steps back.

Let Nebula and several other companions from the Global Supernatural Alliance take a few steps forward and stand in front of the grotto.

Strange to say, when Michael retreated, Nebula and others stepped forward,

The grotto stopped changing rapidly, and instead fixed its shape, turning into a stone arch in the style of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

If the number of people standing in front of the grotto increases, the grotto will begin to change again.

After several tests and discussions, the player team finally decided,

The grotto is similar to the "Mysterious Lock" in the concept of occultism.

That is, a powerful barrier that covers a wide area and possesses a certain degree of consciousness, wisdom, or instinct.

The main purpose is to protect something within range and drive outsiders away.

Enchantment spells are not uncommon;

The simplest enchantment, such as [The idlers retreat], can be used to evacuate ordinary people.

The more advanced ones are used by the Bell Tower Masters Association in their London headquarters building - that building stands in downtown London, but London residents and tourists, no matter how many times they walk through the door, will not realize that there is one. The building exists,

Only extremely rare ordinary people who are born with mage talents can see the building.

Then he was quickly discovered by the Bell Tower Mage Association and accepted as an apprentice.

And [Mysterious Lock] is the most profound, mysterious and rare enchantment spell.

Most of the myths have been lost in the torrent of history.

Only some incomplete ancient books contain vague descriptions - in a sense, the Prisoner's Cave can also be regarded as a mysterious lock.

The effects of Mysterious Barriers vary greatly.

There is a type of killing, and trespassers will be killed without mercy.

There are also hidden types, used to hide kingdoms, caves, and treasures.

There are also curse types and seal types.

The former is used to curse a certain race or a certain family, causing them to suffer long-term misfortune.

The latter is used to seal an extremely dangerous creature or extraordinary item.

The Ajanta Caves in front of us is obviously a protective type of mystery lock.

Its effect is also very simple,

When a high-energy reaction is detected, the mystery lock automatically opens and continuously changes shape to form a maze to prevent intrusion.

On the contrary, some targets with relatively low strength and less violent energy reactions can sneak into the Mysterious Barrier.

Only guard against the strong, not the weak.

At first glance, this setting seems like a naked conspiracy.

If you step into it under unknown circumstances, you might encounter some weird special situation in the grotto and die inexplicably.

But right now, there seems to be no better way.

A group of players gathered together to discuss for a while and quickly formulated a plan.

More than 60 people were divided into six groups, entered the Ajanta Caves in batches, and communicated through walkie-talkies.

Hohenheim, who has the deepest knowledge of mysticism in the team, has determined that the mystery lock itself has the ability to transform itself.

But it does not have the functions of spatial expansion, slowing down time, and creating illusions.

In other words, a team that steps into the Mystery Lock will most likely fall into a maze with complex terrain.

But this kind of maze is just a maze and has no fatal factors.

The teams that enter one after another will explore the area.

Communicate through walkie-talkies and jointly draw a map of the Ajanta Caves.

It would be great if we could find the true form of King Sibi along the maze.

If the stipulated time is exceeded and King Sibi is not found,

Then a backup plan will be adopted, and everyone will start to gather, regardless of the life or death of the missing people outside.

Violently dismantled the myth lock directly from the inside, and finally found King Shibi.

The power of faith provided by hundreds of thousands of believers sounds like a lot,

But if it really needs to be used up, a player team with enough siege machinery and supplies can definitely survive the energy consumption. If it doesn't work, they can still call in a wave of air strikes.

After discussing the two plans, the players began to divide into groups according to their respective power systems and their familiarity and trust with each other.

The members of the first team are mainly people from the European Heavy Industries Group and the Special Accident Division of the FBI, led by David, Dawn, Abel and others.

The members of the second team are mainly members of official organizations and private guilds in East Asia, led by Wang Buliuxing, Xing Hechou, Sesshōin and others.

The members of the third team are mainly operators of the Global Occult Alliance, led by Nebula.

The members of the fourth team are mainly lone wolf players, led by Out of Control and Side of Truth.

The fifth team is composed of people from the Bell Tower, the Royal Ecclesiarchy Knights, and the Inquisition. Among them are Hohenheim, Leon, and Uriel from the Inquisition—Leon should have stayed with the Lone Wolf players.

But the fourth team already has Loss of Control and Side of Truth.

If he adds more, the energy response will exceed the standard and will cause Mysuo to automatically defend.

Moreover, his divine power system is relatively close to that of the Vatican's Inquisition. It is not easy to trigger the transformation mechanism of the Mystery Lock when staying together, so it was decided.

As for the sixth team, there was only Michael.

Michael will stay alone outside the grotto. If a team encounters trouble that cannot be solved, he will forcefully attack the Mystery Lock and provide support.
