Invincible Chapter 742
? Compared with the darkness in the dense forest, the swamp is brighter, and at the same time it is spacious enough.
But this did not bring much sense of security to the group. After all, darkness, stagnant water, ice fog, and tranquility, the atmosphere created by these four elements is too classic, which makes people unconsciously chill.
The burning footprints still looked miraculous, even the muddy water could not block its light. However, it will appear distorted and swayed by the rippling water, and loses the once reassuring feeling.
"There's something in the water!" Moody finally couldn't help but say after going deep into the swamp for half an hour.
He is the only one in the team who needs to identify the environment and confirm the path. Although he follows his feeling, he has to compare horizontally to confirm which choice feels better.
Kane, who was behind Moody, replied: "Of course there are things. I suspect now that the 'evil' of Shino Island is that it is the territory of mythical creatures."
The content of the words was horrifying, but Moody and the others felt that Kane didn't have much fear. This was not an forced calm, but a calmness of the soul.
In fact, unconsciously, Moody, Oliver, Ellie and Ella have all united around Kane. Behind Kane is Oliver, and a pair of ghost girls would rather pay the price of mana to float, and thus follow Kane from left to right, rather than continue to follow the traditional footsteps.
The main reason is that Kane's strong will and the characteristics of the Seed of the Salary King are fused to form a unique soul force field. In this force field, people will have a sense of warmth as if feeling the heat radiation of a campfire. Drive away the coldness in the heart to a certain extent.
Kane is also more considerate. On the one hand, he knows that Oliver and the others are a little bit overwhelmed. On the other hand, after the soul of the entourage is taken away and turned into a fire demon, although a powerful monster is created, it is still tantamount to Temporarily throwing away an unstable bomb placed by his side, he no longer needs to stare at the subordinates too much, and he can give Oliver some shelter to them.
Kane is naturally stronger than Oliver and the others, even if they have cards, but Kane's will has been tested for a long time, and the more important thing is that the equipment bonus and skill bonus are too ruthless.
However, this kind of strength, at least for now, is far from the absolute difference. Otherwise, Kane would choose to work alone instead of teaming up with these people. After all, he came to this world not to make friends, and he didn't feel lonely walking alone.
In this operation, he appeared to be more calm and experienced, and handled it properly. An important reason is that his combat position itself is very suitable for leading a group. The puppet group and the living group can better reflect his value. And if he is alone, he is nothing more than a blood-splattered bastard,
Even if there are a few more hole cards than ordinary characters, they can't jump out of the conventional category. Just a "probability" element is enough to make him survive from death, or even be killed.
Kane still has some self-knowledge, so even if he consumes more mana, he still has to bring the subordinates who have turned into corpse puppets.
You must know that he is not a contractor of the dark force now, and he does not have the ability to specialize in the undead system. The natural laws of this world have also been distorted by the old branch. Druids, who regard nature as their mother and god, cannot be activated because of the undetectable 'Heaven's Heart', so it is expensive to control corpse puppets.
Of course, everyone present was consuming. From the time they landed on Shino Island, the consumption of their souls began. The positive spiritual energy, mainly courage, was gradually drained, while the negative emotions continued to expand to fill the vacancy.
By now, Oliver and the others have noticed this loss and the terrible consequences. It is a different kind of feeling, as if the frozen heart twitches and the body trembles, and the instability is caused by negative emotions.
Oliver and the others can feel that once their emotions erupt, they will become demonized.
Moody pleaded, "Can we talk while walking, so we can feel better."
Kane responded again: "But you have to know that everything has advantages and disadvantages. Chatting is actually a kind of spiritual grouping for warmth. In this case, once one of us leaves the team again, it will be very special. Can't take it."
Of course Moody understood what 'off the team' meant. He said: "Is the situation really that bad? I mean, there is no possibility of salvation at all?"
"You should know that when the cold reaches a certain level, cold blood flows into the heart and causes organ failure. Even if you bring in a heater and turn it on, it won't help, right?"
Moody can also understand Kane's explanation. Demonization is the coldness of the soul. Once the negative emotions exceed the threshold, although the human nature and rationality are still maintained, the degeneration has basically become an irreversible state, and it is basically impossible to recover.
Moody didn't ask why he didn't say something like that in advance. After all, it was like asking why he let himself be frozen so that his blood flowed back.
Oliver said at this time: "I'm a little confused now. What kind of situation we encountered. Can you tell me, Kevin?"
One of the ghost girls also echoed: "We feel that the unknown is one of the main sources of fear, and fear is the culprit of people's will. If possible, please Mr. Fox to solve some mysteries for us."
It may be because she seldom talks to people. Although Guimei's language organization is fairly organized, her voice and intonation are a bit weird, as if she is reading an article through a third-rate reading software.
Since even the usually silent ghost girl spoke up, it was obvious that she agreed to relieve the pressure by chatting. Kane couldn't say anything more, and said along the topic: "Actually, I don't know very well. After all, up to now, there is still too little information for making judgments. It's just because of some situations here. There are many similarities in the case, so I made some inferences, and I happened to guess a few of them."
Oliver answered with some self-deprecation: "But we don't even have a systematic guess."
"I know, I have experienced the kind of depression that I want to rush to grasp important information and establish a basic logical self-consistency, but I can't be sure about anything. I didn't take the initiative to share before. One very important reason is that I don't want me to After all, these views are actually born out of the so-called experience of another incident, and may not be the truth of the current incident. Once you kill your thinking, you may encounter a big crisis in your self-righteousness."
"We're now in another kind of big crisis," Moody interjected.
"So, I can't take care of so much now, and the immediate crisis should be resolved first. But you must have a plan in your heart. What I said does not represent the truth, but just my speculation."
"Yeah, tell me."
"Based on my experience, I think the 'evil' of Shino Island is mainly reflected in the particularity of the environment. This particularity is not specific to anyone or any creature, but its own nature, which happens to be common to most creatures negative influence."
"Furthermore, I think Sino Island is an edge realm. It is both the edge of the world we are familiar with and the edge of another world we are not familiar with."
"Crack," Oliver interjected.
"Well, but it's not a self-contained independent pattern, but a mixed state that is half-fused with each other."
Oliver is very smart, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind when he heard this. "You mean day and night are the dividing line between the two worlds?"
"It can be understood that they are mutually external and internal, and the result of mutual influence is that the daytime looks very similar to the world we are familiar with, but not completely, such as a detail, we have never seen the sun. It is not simply the weather. No, dark clouds covering the sun, flowing clouds, and rising luck phenomena are all abnormal and not natural phenomena that should exist in our world."
"Correspondingly, this night is not normal for another world."
Oliver tasted it, and interjected again: "This is the principle of your saying 'If you can't see them, they can't gain our position, so they can't attack'. The boundaries are separated, although they are thinner than paper, and they have Mesh-like loopholes, but it is still not easy if you really want to come over, you need to 'cooperate with the inside and the outside'?"
Kane was not unhappy because the statement was interrupted, but confided more information: "Yes, we used Shoggoth to avoid the fire demon before, and this is also the principle behind it. The net woven by the ghost's hair just serves as a 'boundary'. The carrier function of ', the real power of isolation, comes from the will of the caster. I firmly believe that they can't get through, then the 'world' will be blessed by the natural power of the world I belong to, and go against the alien power of this world. Life in the other world will not survive. Of course, the force exerted by the other party is real, and it will bring a heavy burden to the soul. Once it is unbearable, it will immediately be a disaster."
It was only then that Moody and the others understood the dangers and huge sacrifices that Kane had made in opening the Sanctuary before. They knew it was not easy before, but there was no specific measurement standard and lack of intuitive feelings. Now they feel much clearer. The devouring power of Shoggoth is absolutely It is not less than the strength of a blue whale trying to close its mouth after preying on fish. Of course, the manifestation of strength is different, but the psychological pressure it brings is similar. At that time, as long as Kane had a little doubt about whether he could continue to bear the pressure It's basically over.
So the principle of this trick seems to be simple. The hair of the ghost is relatively not high-end, but it really tests the will of the caster. Knowing that it is a trump card for life preservation, it can only be sighed. Some esoteric tricks, It is really customized by a special person. It is not that if you know it and work hard, you can learn it and use it well.
Oliver asked another question at this time: "So when we rushed into the shelter, you cut off the tentacles of Shoggoth, is it similar?"
Naturally, this question has also attracted the attention of several other people. After all, it is very cool and very practical.
"There is indeed an application of this principle, but it can only be regarded as the part of power improvement. The real core is the power of natural laws."
Kane raised his right index finger and made the ring on his finger glow for viewing.
"The nickel-core rune ring, both represent the natural laws of this world from the perspective of matter and energy. The structure of Shoggoth conflicts with the natural laws, so it is judged that it should not exist. This attribute Add that to the force, and target the point, and you have what you see."
Kane said again: "I can make this supernatural item. If you want to get it, you can get a 20% discount. But be careful, it is effective for aliens and mythical creatures that do not exist in this era, and it is effective for hybrids." The effect is much worse, such as deep divers and ghouls."
Oliver and the others were stunned and felt a little dumbfounded. Under such circumstances, Kane still had the heart to advertise, and he didn't know whether to praise his calmness or ridicule his nerve.
Moody was more direct, asking: "Is this a bad joke meant to put us at ease?"
"No, I'm really advertising, and I'm already losing money on this campaign from a revenue and expenditure perspective, and I don't see any positive signs of the future at all."
"...the heart is really big." This is the first time that the ghost girl Ella has spoken in public.
Moody said: "Your technology feels very powerful, but it is very unfamiliar. Do you mind talking about this?"
I have to say that this question is a bit taboo, after all, it is the prestige of holding a supernatural job, which is similar in nature to commercial secrets.
But on the other hand, it also depends on how you understand it. Generally speaking, it can satisfy your greed and not involve core secrets, which is also possible.
Kane took this approach, saying that most investigators would gain some level of vision after surviving exposure to mythical events. And spiritual vision is closely related to occultism, the higher the spiritual vision, the more opportunities to interpret the information in mythological events, thus contributing to the effect of acquiring occult knowledge.
In most cases, the mystical knowledge that can be obtained is part of the knowledge that the evil gods bestow on their families. But there are also a few exceptions, which allow people to obtain knowledge of other systems, even existences that are opposed to evil gods, and the camp they belong to.
"I'm a lucky one. Through the mythical incident, I learned some materials, energy, and technology that the superior family feared. And some other information. After continuous trial and practice, I gradually became who I am now."
"Sounds good." Moody didn't hide his envy.
"The price is also very high." Kane clicked, and did not continue to speak, but changed the topic back to the beginning.
"Whether God exists, it's hard to say. But Myra's construction of the so-called underground palace here to hold evil things gives me the feeling that it is taking advantage of the particularity of this marginal world. For example, using the laws of world A to imprison creatures in world B , or conversely use the laws of world B to imprison the creatures of world A."
"This kind of operation is indeed mind-blowing, but also crazy. After all, the mutual erosion of the realms has been continuing, and the degree of integration is getting higher and higher. If the prison system cannot be upgraded, the effectiveness will become worse and worse. So recently What is the situation behind the series of vicious incidents related to Sino Island in recent years, I think it is very debatable."
"This place is a mess, and it didn't happen in a day. It may have been because there were gatekeepers guarding and suppressing it for a long time, and nothing major happened, but the continuous fusion of the two worlds has made the cage's binding force weaker and weaker. It is unstable, and finally a powerful evil thing escaped from the trap. So I think that the gatekeeper does not need to be rescued, and I am afraid that the remains will not be found after the corpse is collected."
Moody couldn't help but said: "You mean, under the banner of rescue, but in fact we are the cannon fodder to be tested?"
"It's a bit biased to say that. I think the action organizers still want to solve the problem. It's just that they probably know some information in advance, and the assessment results are not optimistic, and they can't ignore what happened here, so we got involved."
Oliver's relationship channels are powerful, and he knows more secrets than Moody and others. He knew that the actual situation was similar to what Kane had speculated. The organizers knew that this operation was extremely dangerous, so they did not hesitate to reward them and did their best.
But it turns out to be an underestimation.
