Chapter 365 Repeater
After Milo’s patient explanation, Rick finally had a brief understanding of what Milo wanted to do next.
In short, it is to re-enact what Marty experienced in this place, using a third-sequence spell from the magic book to try to recreate Marty’s “trajectory” that once appeared here. Extract it.
The last time Marty appeared at the gate of the academy was when Finn fought one against five.
“I’m curious as to why I had to be chosen.”
Rick put his hands in his pockets and asked Milo.
Milo dipped the wooden cone that almost gave Klaus a chill in the water from the street drain, then squatted down and began to draw some strange, strange shapes on the sidewalk. Twisted runes.
He answered Rick's question calmly: "Anyone else might have gone crazy."
"That's true." Rick muttered, then held his head in the corner. Squatting down: "Be careful where you start. It's so late at night. It's hard to find if your eyes fly out."
But he stood up again the next second and asked doubtfully: "So what is the 'track'? What do you mean, will I receive something wrong?”
"How satisfied do you think that kid is?" Milo asked.
"That's true."
Rick squatted down again holding his head.
“Squat here and squat here.”
After Milo completed the rune totem on the ground, he motioned for Rick to squat in the center of the totem.
Rick then moved a hole.
Milo, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He shook his arms and shoulders and started to warm up, while asking:
"Let me ask you a question. You usually talk to yourself in your heart. What kind of sound did you hear?"
"Huh-huh?" Rick was stunned for a few seconds.
Milo changed his expression: "Your inner words."
"Oh, you understand, it's an inner monologue, right? It must be my own voice." Rick replied without thinking.
However, Milo continued to torture:
"Are you sure that is your own voice?"
His mysterious and solemn question really made Rui angry. Ke stopped asking, which made Rick's original certainty waver a little: "I, uh - it should be so, after all, the thing we are most familiar with is our own voice."
"Well, Okay, let’s understand it this way for now.”
Milo did not delve into this issue.
After moving his shoulder joints and other upper limbs, he moved his ankle joints and hip joints, completing the set of movements he remembered at the beginning of physical education class.
Rick squatted aside and watched with horror:
"No, who was Marty beaten by at that time? Why do I feel that your posture is for the full 12 rounds? "
"He was beaten by another child." Milo did not mention Finn's name. After he noticed that the rune totems painted on the ground began to flow, he said to Rui. Kedao:
"After the spell is over, you may hear something. Note that it can only be heard. I don't know what the specific sound will be, and I don't know what the frequency and number of occurrences will be. Maybe this spell is just It’s purely a trick, and it has no effect. After all, I’ve never used this thing before.”
“Trick someone? Is that what you mean by tricking someone into beating him up?” Eye.
"That's about it."
Bang...
As soon as Milo finished speaking, he punched Rick in the head.
He clearly remembered how Finn beat Marty at that time, and there was no problem in recreating it.
After this punch, the flow speed of the water-stained runes on the ground doubled. All the fonts seemed to be affected by gravity in different directions and flowed towards various positions before re-condensing into other forms. Totems of different styles, Milo's every move will cause the rune totem to change. Now the appearance of the totem is completely different from the one he originally drew.
......
So, the scene of a law enforcement officer beating up a man in formal clothes was staged on the street.
Because Milo was wearing a long black trench coat, even if passers-by on the street saw this scene, they would not dare to step forward to check the situation or intervene to stop them. They all took detours and hid as if they had seen the god of plague. Stay far away.
Two minutes later.
......
"How is it?"
Milo waved his palms and squatted down to ask Rick.
Rick methodically picked up eyeballs from the ground, blew on them, and stuffed them into his own eye sockets. Then he fumbled to pick up an incisor, stuffed the root of the tooth into his gums, and finally tidied up his teeth. Face, in turn asked Milo:
"How do I look?"
"My complexion is a bit worse, but everything else is fine." Milo shrugged.
He did not use all his strength, nor did he use the power of spiritual vision, but with Rick's half-living corpse body being able to endure being beaten for two minutes, it was already a miraculous existence. You know, even if he only calculated Milo's pure physical strength. He has spied on countless undead in the past year. The increase in pure physical strength is difficult to estimate. A normal person would probably have his head fly away after being slapped.
And the Holy Eucharist sacrifice even allowed Milo's limbs to collide head-on with the incarnation of the outer god's will.
It’s hard to imagine how Rick, a half-living dead man, could be unharmed.
...At this time, the water stains on the ground have completely evaporated, leaving no trace.
The magic ritual has been completed.
But whether it was successful or not, Milo didn’t know.
“I heard it.”
Rick's eyes started to look a little creepy.
He clenched his fists with both hands, his knuckles turning white and trembling slightly.
Milo took a step back and glanced back at the few street gangsters not far from the corner who were idle and joining in the fun.
After the latter was frightened away in despair, Milo stared at Rick warily.
Rick's reaction was not beyond Milo's expectation. In fact, even though he is a semi-living corpse, he still has his own consciousness and soul, and there is still the possibility of his sanity collapsing. See if what the spell imposes on him is beyond his ability to bear.
Milo held the handle of the revolver at his waist and looked calmly at Rick, who was trembling on the spot with his eyes turned white. He knew what would happen to ordinary humans after their sanity was cleared, but he had no choice but to know what the living corpse would become. You know, if necessary, he can kill Rick with one shot.
Fortunately, this situation stopped after less than a minute or so.
Rick's eyes returned to normal, and his body no longer continued to tremble. He rubbed his eyes and turned to Milo and said:
"I did hear some strange noises."
Milo spread his hands, meaning - then what the hell do you mean.
Rick was in a daze. He frowned and seemed to be trying very hard to capture the sounds that only he could hear: "No one spoke, but I heard the sound of metal collision. It was not a heavy weapon. The sound was very clear... It should be The metal chain made a slight sound, but it was strange and the noise was very loud... Didn't you say that this ceremony can eavesdrop on Marty's inner monologue?"
"That's what it said in the elective one, I I don't know where to go." Milo shrugged.
"Wait a minute! I heard it again. This time it's different. This time it's a sound coming from a very far away place." Rick stretched out his hand and made strange grabbing movements in the air, as if Trying his best to help himself capture something, he closed his eyes and frowned: "It's strange, these sparse sounds sound a bit familiar... but they seem to be blocked by something, so they can't be heard clearly at all."< br>
He looked a little troubled, because the feeling of familiarity was so far away. Sometimes it was close at hand, and sometimes it was far away.
Milo stood aside and stared at Rick.
He felt that this technique would most likely not have any good effect, at least for now, it would not provide any valuable information feedback.
The sound of chains, the familiar movement.
It may be just a conjecture in the mind caused by the fluctuation of san value.
In short, it is not consistent with the situation described in the text in the classics. According to the text, Rick should be able to hear some inner monologues.
Milo waved his hand, shook the wooden cone in his hand and said:
"That's okay. We probably have to change our thinking and use this wooden cone as an entry point to check the prison guards."
But just as he was greeting Rick and preparing to return to the law enforcement station, Suddenly I heard Rick's voice coming from behind, using a strange tone that had never appeared in his words before, with a certain extreme disgust and impulse that was being tried hard to restrain:
"Witch, damn it. A witch, it was torture to be in the same classroom with her, everything was tainted by her, it disgusted me to death, I wanted to vomit when I thought about the stillborn fetus being extracted from her body, she should be burned to death ! Burn alive! Foreign freak!"
...
Milo stopped and turned to look at Rick.
Rick's eyes were filled with endless malice at first, but turned to astonishment the next second.
He froze on the spot for three seconds, looking at Milo with wide eyes: "That was not my intention."
But the next second, the same thing as before appeared on his face again. With a hint of ferocity, he gnashed his teeth and cursed:
"Burn her to death! A foreigner from Galede, she brought evil to this city and also to the college. A disgusting bitch, she must bring the evil to the city." Her body was given to the devil as a plaything, and she was pregnant with the devil's heir. She should be burned to death, roasted, and chopped into pieces!"
Rick covered his mouth and turned his face again! shock.
It was obvious that even he himself didn't quite understand what these hateful words meant.
He just repeated these words and said them out with his own mouth, driven by some special power.
Yes, he seems to have become a repeater.
...
He tried to let go of his hand and asked Milo in a normal tone: "How long will this situation last?..."
But the next second his tone immediately switched to the violent and hateful state just now, pointing at Milo and yelling: "Burn her to death!"
Rick was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth again live.
He was so afraid that Milo took out his pistol and shot him.
Because his situation looked too much like he was on the verge of madness.
However, as one of the few people who could understand the meaning of those words that did not belong to Rick, Milo knew that these words came from Marty, which was in Marty's heart true thoughts.
No matter where he knew everything about Kai, it was this idea that drove him and other classmates to commit violence against Kai in the academy.
When he thought of this, Milo's expression instantly became a bit colder.
