Chapter 2427 People
Thin malice flowed in the air, bleak and turbid, mixed with wild echoes.
[Sure enough, pretty bad things happened in this place...]
Gu Xiaole walked slowly behind Peixi, her clogs not making even the slightest sound, and her big, bright eyes curiously looked left and right, as reassuring as ever, but also filled with the most exaggerating youthful vitality.
As a temporary member of the Wangwang team and Ji Xiaoge's reinforcements who moved from thousands of miles away, Gu Xiaole has proven his worth in the past week. The many shikigami he controls not only have superior combat capabilities, but also exerted great influence during the exploration process. Playing a huge role, even now, the people marching at the front of the team are the "pathfinding team" of Inugami and ex-ghost.
Among them, Inugami has extremely powerful concealment and detection capabilities, and its sense of smell and hearing are not weaker than Yaya. Although its frontal combat effectiveness is not strong, its agile fighting style and its airtight oral sword skills are enough. To ensure that he will not be killed easily, and to have a close connection with Gu Xiaole, he is definitely the most ideal scout choice in the team.
As for the skinny ex-ghost named [Shan], who looks like a dull boy wearing civilian clothes and holding an axe, he has strength, explosive power and resistance to blows that are far from matching his appearance, especially when being attacked. After Gu Xiaole used the blessing of [White Jue·Shura Hell], his defensive power was no less than that of Wang Badan, who had a unique racial advantage.
In addition to these two people, there was a paper lantern shining with blue light floating above everyone's heads. There was a fog surrounding them that would not affect their vision, but could effectively prevent prying eyes and detection.
They are respectively [Green Lantern] and [Fake Object·Mirage Tower]. The former has a wide-area early warning effect and can sense murderous intent and malice to a certain extent. People can judge the degree of threat by the amplitude of the swaying light, while when the situation is extreme In times of crisis, the Qingxing Lantern will immediately extinguish, then return the surrounding visibility to zero, and finally summon a ghost gate in the darkness. The effect is similar to the ghost gate in Ito's [Double Ghost Gate], but the lethality is even better. , the control range should also be larger.
The mirage tower is also a defensive shikigami. In addition to the fog that can spread to block outside prying eyes, when Gu Xiaole needs it, the fog can also form a true 'mirage tower' to eliminate threats. Isolated.
According to Gu Xiaole, the theoretical upper limit of the mirage building is not as simple as a 'building', but a super-large-scale illusion with palaces, pavilions, flowers, plants, trees, residential houses, pedestrians and merchants. When fully activated, it can even form a real world. Fake, fake also has a real effect.
By the way, Gu Xiaole is also quoted as saying that although [Mirage Tower·Fake Item] is her shikigami, it is different from 'similar' ones such as Inugami, former ghosts, back ghosts, origami, and green lanterns. Compared with Creatures that can think independently, [Mirage Tower], whether 'real' or 'fake', is essentially a phenomenon. Although it can be driven by Gu Xiaole, it does not have the ability to act independently, and the consumption during the maintenance period is still quite large. of.
As for the real related shikigami 'Phantom Clam', which is the creature that creates the [Phantom Tower], it is not something Gu Xiaole can control at her level. In fact, even the [Phantom Tower] can only be controlled by her own The power of 'rubbing' creates a castrated version of the fake.
Of course, even if it is a fake, Pexi, Largo, Jadeka and others all spoke highly of Mirage Tower. In fact, they spoke highly of every shikigami of Gu Xiaole. It is no exaggeration to say that, regardless of technical prowess, just the summoned creatures under the Great Onmyoji can actually form a low-level exploration team with quite online functionality.
For example, now, when Gu Xiaole summoned the former ghost, the dog god, the green lantern and the mirage tower at the same time, in addition to herself who must always communicate with these shikigami, only Largo, the double insurance, needs to maintain a high degree of concentration. However, Peixi, Lujiang, Yaya, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge can relax relatively. Jadeka, who is in charge of the rear, can recharge his batteries in preparation for changing hands with Largo at any time.
Again, in this kind of exploration, the state of high concentration consumes a lot of people's energy. Therefore, although these shikigami may not play a decisive role in frontal conflicts or dangers, they can greatly improve the ability of a group of people. exploration efficiency.
Putting aside the shikigami, Gu Xiaole himself is also of great help to the team. Even from the most superficial perspective, a half-step epic with both summoner and necromancer can be used in the exploration of ancient ruins. The value of his work is definitely no less than that of a famous detective.
But——
Compared with the abilities shown to everyone, Gu Xiaole actually 'hides' more things. The reason why I use quotation marks is because Gu Xiaole does not deliberately hide her clumsiness and failure to do her best, but her ability in the [World of Innocence] The abilities that cannot be explained at all in the game are mostly mysterious side knowledge outside the game, that is, the methods of the 'Onmyoji'.
So instead of trying to explain things like Yin Yang Eyes, Ghost Realm, Spiritual Bodies, etc. that no one could understand, Gu Xiaole decisively chose the policy of less BBs and more work, relying on his ability to 'archaeologically' Maybe I can help everyone in my own way.
For example, now, even though it looks like she is strolling behind Peixi with her hands behind her back in a walking posture, Gu Xiaole's own spiritual power has already spread out of the mirage tower, extending all the way forward to go further than the Inugami and the former ghost. place.
Unlike magic or fighting spirit, Onmyoji's spiritual power does not have a clear positioning. After all, there are no two identical aliens in the world, so everyone's habits and emphasis on using power are also different.
The current tendency of the eldest daughter of the Gu family to use spiritual power is - soul searching, insight, restraint and mapping.
This way of using power that takes both combat and functionality into account, if you switch to an ordinary psychic or onmyoji, you will probably end up becoming a third-rate person who cannot achieve high or low, but for those who have survived the [Three Waters Jue Star], For Gu Xiaole, who has a Taiyin body that is perfectly compatible with Onmyoji, and has been working hard with the 'bridal practice' since he was a child, this is really the most cost-effective way to use it.
It is true that, whether in reality or in the game, Gu Xiaole is far from being able to overcome all kinds of difficulties with spiritual power alone, but in this kind of character, which is 'yin', full of hatred, resentment, and anger. Place, even a vague 'inspiration', may play an extremely crucial role.
After all, in most film, television and literary works, when the plot reaches this point, one (or several) exciting and extremely difficult to write fight scenes will most likely be unavoidable.
Because of this, Gu Xiaole was actually ready to use his spiritual power to sweep away countless souls of Yin soldiers and undead demons. After strengthening the former ghosts, he even deliberately switched the weapon back to the [Hei Chu·Zhi Shi Lue] that used Yin Yang magic. Decision].
However——
The feedback the Great Onmyoji received was only a thin wave of malice and muddy echoes. Although it could not be said to be very safe, it was not as 'wonderful' as imagined.
"Did you find anything?"
Peixi turned to look at Gu Xiaole and asked casually while continuing to test the stability of communication with the observation station.
Although she is not too old, Peixi has an extremely rich experience and knowledge reserve. She has never asked Gu Xiaole how strong she is, but she can always find the answers she needs directly from the other person's mouth.
"A little."
Gu Xiaole did not hide it, and responded happily: "There are some unknown things ahead, but they don't seem very dangerous."
"Okay, thank you."
Peixi didn't mind the ambiguous answer. He simply said thank you and quickened his pace, obviously believing Gu Xiaole's statement that "there seems to be no danger" without any reservation.
Because Pei Xi is the most important 'expert' in this exploration, and is one of the slowest in the team in terms of movement speed, everyone has already defaulted to letting this respectable lady control the traveling speed, so along with Pei Xi Xi changed from brisk walking to jogging, and everyone naturally quickened their pace, advancing along the passage at high speed in the slightly coquettish halo of the green lantern. In this way, after running for about five minutes, everyone saw a wall-like alloy door again. In this hidden area that was not included in the structural diagram, even the signs became blatant!
[The front is observation area A. Personnel below the second level are asked to stop and leave, or contact the competent department to obtain permission]
Pexi glanced at the door painted with fluorescent material, briefly translated a few sentences for everyone, took off his gloves, pressed his right hand on the cold alloy door, turned to Largo, who looked serious, and explained: "I took the time to authorize myself in the previous area. Although the level is not particularly high, it should be able to unlock this... Well, sure enough."
That's right, just before he finished speaking, with a rumbling sound, the alloy door at the end of the passage slowly sank into both sides, revealing the dark hall behind.
"If I'm not wrong, the backup energy here is a free-switching type, so since it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, there is no need for us to try in vain to 'activate' it."
Peixi did not simply make a summary, but then put his hands in his pockets and ordered without looking back: "Xiao Le, help me."
"Easy to say."
Gu Xiaole nodded, then raised his hand and waved it. The [Green Lantern] above everyone's heads, which didn't seem to have much illuminating effect, disappeared in an instant and suddenly appeared more than ten meters away. It was supposed to be this area. The location in the center of 'Observation Area A' suddenly... became two.
The next second, the two lights turned into four lights.
In the third second, the four lights turned into eight lights.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Then, sixteen, thirty-two, and finally, the number of green lanterns was fixed at sixty-four, forming a quite beautiful matrix layout in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the sixty-four could only illuminate themselves, just like the star-like 'dots' in the night connected into a 'line'.
"When I go one step further, I can light thirty-three more lamps and add at least ten more benefits to the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts. If I can advance to the rank of Legend one day, I can light the last three lamps, and when I am one hundred The moment the [Green Lanterns] are extinguished at the same time, the real door to the underworld will open, which can let out bad things and put bad things in. ”
While Gu Xiaole was fanning himself with the bat fan in his hand, he looked at the sixty-four [Green Lanterns] in the air that began to slowly rotate and move up and down in a way that imitated the movement of stars. He shrugged and said, "But even if I Now that we are not strong enough, it is easy for them to take over the lighting work instead of the original light bulbs here... Oh yeah."
The Great Onmyoji did not finish his words, because just as the sixty-four lamps suddenly glowed, from the original thin light to a dazzling level, the area written as [Inspection Area A] was unreserved. The land appeared in front of everyone.
"Woo."
Ji Xiaoge's body swayed, and he flapped his wings twice before he stabilized his body. His wide almond eyes were filled with shock.
"Damn."
Largo took a deep breath, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "What are these..."
Lu Jiang pursed his lips and subconsciously took a step back: "I always feel that it is somewhat similar to those movie scenes with the theme of 'resistance'."
"Now I can basically confirm that those who died on it are not unjust."
Jadka, who had white hair and beard and summoned more than ten flame candlesticks out of thin air, narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "This place is terrible in every sense."
"Anyway, let's investigate first..."
Mo Tan clenched his right hand subconsciously, and then said in a deep voice in his reassuring voice: "There are more and more reasons that must be investigated."
Everyone nodded silently, and then focused their attention again, turning their attention to the dozens of pillars in [Observation Area A] that stood like load-bearing pillars between the ceiling and the floor. It took at least three people to hug them to properly surround them.
In terms of the materials of the columns, the bases at the upper and lower ends and the middle section are mainly made of metal and glass covers respectively. The hollow columns are filled with almost transparent materials. If you don’t look carefully, you may even think that there is nothing inside. , a colorless liquid with only air.
What shocked Mo Tan and others was that in addition to the liquid that was difficult to see at a glance, there was a 'person' floating in each pillar!
Humans, dwarves, elves.
Orcs, lizardmen, half-dragons.
Goblins, gnomes, harpies.
Quilboar, ogre, two-headed ogre.
Beast elves, half-beast elves, dragon eggs.
Just in the five groups of pillars within everyone's field of vision, there are a total of fifteen 'people' who are obviously from different races.
Or rather... a corpse.
