Chapter 176 Spiritual Vision
The reunion of old friends has changed a lot.
Everyone watched Yuge walk into the roast meat shop with Lily's support. He still greeted everyone enthusiastically, but the atmosphere on the table fell into silence. All eyes were attracted by the black cloth covering his eyes. It's past.
Unexpectedly, Yuge's illness had become so serious. When communicating before, he only mentioned that he had hallucinations in his eyes, and never said that his vision was seriously damaged.
After a while, Ivy asked, "How come he can't see?"
"The young master can see it until he comes to Paradise Island."
Lily said.
?
The sad atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and Lily had no choice but to explain to the young master, "The young master said that there is a sun on the street, and it becomes difficult to look directly at it after a long time."
Everyone understood and turned to look at Ethan in unison, even Ulta was no exception.
However, Ulta didn't know the meaning of doing this. He felt that the atmosphere was here, and if he didn't do this alone, he would be a little too unsocial.
Ethan adjusted the fluctuation of magic power and tried to switch to wind magic, which is currently the weakest with only Lv2 proficiency. Then he said, "Take off the black cloth now and try."
Yogurt did so doubtfully. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes lit up. The golden light that covered everything dissipated. Sitting opposite him was a man as free as the wind. He finally got his wish and saw the man on the phone. The true faces of the friends we communicated with.
A man like the wind.
A woman like an iceberg.
The golden retriever has become a spirit.
And...
"There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not."
Yug suddenly frowned and looked at Ulta carefully. He knew that he should not comment on other people's aura. This was against noble etiquette and could easily destroy their precious friendship. However, this friend's symptoms were very serious. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as terminally ill.
Ever since he had the hallucination, he had never seen such a complete octopus face.
"You just say it."
After getting along with Ethan for a long time, everyone knows that this sentence is just a cover. Even if you answer that he shouldn't tell it, he will definitely find a way to tell it in the end. The only difference is that he will say it immediately, or waste a few minutes before saying it. come out.
Ivy suffered so much from it that whenever she heard this sentence later, she wanted to throw away those red tapes immediately.
"This gentleman is already very ill. If he is not treated as soon as possible, he may fall into madness soon."
"His name is Ulta. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Ethan took the initiative to introduce this octopus-faced friend from the deep sea to Yug.
"This..."
Yuge hesitated again and again, but finally lowered his voice and said, "You may not have noticed that he has completely turned into an octopus face."
The atmosphere became even stranger. After a moment, Ivy pointed out, "He originally had an octopus face, and everyone in his family looks like this."
She is now a little sensitive about the issue of appearance. The cat girl just said that she is a little carrot head - she has never been treated so rudely in her life. As the heir of the Margaret family, her appearance is somewhat similar to that of her aunt. She is 67% similar to Saint Mary, and she looks like she was carved from the same mold. She is the kind of beautiful girl who can attract everyone's attention without being overdressed at all.
Therefore, the aesthetics of Asians are generally unreliable.
Ethan immediately grasped the key point, "You mean, besides Ulta, have you seen other deep-sea clans?"
He and Ulta talked about many topics about the Deep Sea Clan, and by gathering all this knowledge, they could compile a map of the alien race. Ulta mentioned that since the evil god was sealed, their clan has been living in the cracks of the deep valley. Nearby, it is conservatively estimated that the deep valley is located at least several thousand meters under the deep sea. Today, before the advent of submarine technology, it is a restricted area that humans cannot reach.
Because of this, the Deep Sea clan has always lived a primitive and closed life. Ulta is the only individual of their generation who has come to the sea level and interacted with humans.
"Huh? You mean he always looks like this?"
Yug also confirmed to the maid, "Lily, do you think he also has an octopus face?"
Lily nodded awkwardly. She always felt that it was impolite to comment on other people's looks. In Ofila, you can meet all kinds of demi-humans. Most of them have characteristics similar to animals, and no one has ever set any rules. A subhuman cannot have the characteristics of an octopus.
"I see, then Mr. Ulta should be very healthy. I mean the kind of person who turns into an octopus face."
Yug kept this news in his heart, and even when he was being cross-examined, he did not reveal the vision he had seen to anyone.
The reason for being questioned was simple. After receiving treatment, his condition improved greatly. However, it didn't take long for the diagnostician who prescribed medicine for him to go crazy. He was so crazy that he sneaked into the parliament hall with a gun. , seriously injured a congressman who was in a meeting, and the diagnostician committed suicide that night when he was escorted into the interrogation room.
This case has not yet been solved. What is worse is that more and more people are experiencing similar situations.
The only one who saw through the truth was an aristocratic young man, Yuge, who appeared to be a normal person, but was actually suffering from severe mental illness. He silently recorded the development pattern of the symptoms, "Initially, black lines appeared on the skin, and the pupils appeared. After darkening for two or three days, their skin will become extremely dry and begin to peel and peel until it turns blue. In the third stage, their heads will be elongated, their mouths will stick together, and their jaws will be deformed. Replaced by wriggling tentacles ”
Obviously, no one would believe such a strange phenomenon. Yug knew that the only result of telling others about these findings would be that he would be grounded for another week or two and increase the dosage of medicine.
The drugs prescribed to him by the diagnostician intensified the hallucinations, turning them from intermittent at the beginning into a normal part of life. "Once the transformation is complete, those people go crazy."
However, he did not have sufficient medical or occult knowledge to discern the essence of the phenomenon.
Four lunatics appeared in just a few days, and this incident also attracted attention in the Deep Sea Council.
"This may be some kind of omen. I am more inclined to think that you have seen the nature of this world clearly."
Combining the knowledge from his previous life, Ethan analyzed that this was the second time he and Yug met. Before that, he had never performed the magic of upgrading the fire element in front of Yug, but before entering the restaurant, Yug , his line of sight was blocked by the upgraded fire element. In order to prevent the other party from being blinded, he consciously suppressed the magic circuit.
"Unexplainable nightmares may be the beginning of transformation. Your body undergoes a subtle transformation. After a month or so, this transformation is completed, and you begin to see some things that you could not see before."
Ethan feels that Yug's situation is a bit like those unlucky ghosts who have lost all their sanity points. It happens that the evil gods in this world have many similarities with the Cthulhu system. Looking directly at them will make people go crazy. The closer they are to them, the lower their spirits. The contamination became more serious, and even the experienced director of the containment bureau, Accord Will, was driven crazy by the sights at Level 3.
And Level 3 is still an unknown number of levels away from where Lao Ba's body resides.
The warm atmosphere at the table gradually cooled down, and everyone was waiting for Ethan's next words.
"I call this ability 'spiritual vision'. The empire's magicians who are proficient in divination use this ability to glimpse a certain fragment of the future."
In terms of magic knowledge, Rowena gave Ethan a lot of professional guidance.
The professional quality of this Grand Magister is still very good, but due to personality problems, stinginess, and the tendency to take advantage of others, it is difficult to connect her with the palace-level Grand Magisters in the Astrology Guild in daily life. At the same time, Rowena actually believed that her abilities were no worse than those of contemporary "Eruditionians".
"The difference is that you are in a state of spiritual vision all the time." Yuge is an optimistic person who can always find the positive side of things. "Oh? Don't you mean that I am better than those who are proficient in divination?" Is the magician even more powerful? ”
"This is not a good thing." Ethan couldn't help pouring cold water on Yug. "It's not that high-level diviners cannot maintain the state of spiritual vision all the time, but they know that it is very dangerous. Once they see something in the state of spiritual vision, they cannot look directly at it. At worst, your eyes will be burned, and at worst, your mind will collapse.”
For Yug now, his magic is also dangerous.
If Yug was allowed to stay in the radiance of the ascended fire element for too long, he would probably have his eyes burned out like those fortune tellers mentioned by Rowena who tried to pry into the secrets of the true gods through spiritual vision.
But this does not mean that he has become a true god, but when humans increase their magic power to a certain stage, they will unconsciously intimidate and even harm the surrounding creatures.
Ethan could only rejoice that what Yog saw just now was the holy fire element. If it had been replaced by the red ice with Lao Ba's aesthetic style, Yog might have stood on the table to perform his talents now.
Hearing Ethan's warning, Lily asked eagerly, "Then, is there a way to cure the 'spiritual vision' you mentioned?"
Facing Ethan, she unconsciously used honorifics, and the look of disgust she had last time when Yug was not paying attention was completely gone.
Ethan said, "Not yet, but I plan to start researching it immediately."
Strictly speaking, in this world, "spiritual vision" is a negative state. Seeing more is often a bad thing, which means that they are getting closer to madness and death.

"Old Sen, I believe you, but before that I want to confirm something with you."
Yug paused and asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, "Does the evil god really exist?"
"They exist, but they may not be real gods, they may just be some kind of ancient creatures with a long life."
This is also the purpose of Ethan coming to the Western Continent.
It is said that an evil god is about to awaken. The moment he awakens, the crisis of the world-destroying torrent will return.
Now through communication with Ulta, the big octopus Lao Ai has temporarily ruled out the suspicion. The fable should refer to the evil god sealed in the deep valley, but strangely, the deep sea clan as the "cleaner" has not been revealed. His name simply refers to it as an "evil being."
Both the residents of the Western Continent and the Deep Sea Clan seem to avoid mentioning the evil god's real name. However, several epochs have passed since the world-destroying torrent. The specific reason has not been known for a long time. It has evolved into a subtle tradition and is adopted by everyone. follow.
Yug fell into deep thought.
Not long ago, the tycoon Flor also gave an answer that was almost the same as Ethan. After thinking again and again, he took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, with only two lines of words scrawled on it:
"The Lofic Consortium visited Ofila."
"They captured the consciousness of an evil god, his name is Kane."
Logically speaking, he must not disclose this information to an outsider like Lao Sen. If any problems arise later, he will become a sinner in the Western Continent, and this is only their second meeting.
However, Yuge chose to believe his eyes.
He wanted to believe in the sun that descended on Ofila.
If the world-destroying torrent will eventually come, perhaps this sun can also guide the people of the Western Continent to a new future.
"These messages are important."
Ethan accepted the note calmly.
No wonder they have never been able to call Magic Kane. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a few days, this guy was actually kidnapped and was kidnapped all the way to the Western Continent.
"You know him?"
Seeing this, Yug asked.
Ethan didn’t hide it, “We’ve met him a few times, and Kane’s information is very good, so we all call him Magic Kane.”
"He seems to be imprisoned in the underground facilities of the Deep Sea Council. I accidentally saw unusual visions there, but the place is heavily guarded and it is not easy to sneak in."
That was all he could say.
After that, there were some light-hearted topics, and the two parties reached a verbal agreement. Yog hoped that Ethan would become his chief physician to treat "spiritual vision" and its effects. The advantage of this is that he can bring Ethan into the Deep Sea Council. and Steam Technology Research Institute.
Ethan readily agreed.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the accommodation provided by the Deep Sea Council for the visiting delegation. Although the attending physician was only a cover for entering the Deep Sea Council, Ethan discussed in detail the cause and process of Yug's nightmare. He gradually suspected that this phenomenon was related to Similar to "Bazatos' Glance" that appeared in his skill panel before.
When beings like Lao Ba focus on a specific human being, they often undergo earth-shaking changes.
The key is, how can he make the evil god in the deep valley interested in him?
"Teacher, what do you think?"
After thinking hard to no avail, he could only seek help from Ling Dong.
He recalled his own experience. The reason why he was noticed by Lao Ba was because he not only bombed the contaminated area, but also shook Lao Ba's eyes.
For Lao Ba, who is always worshiped and revered as his heavenly father, he may have become an "interesting man" in the eyes of the other party.
"As far as I know, there is no concept of a contaminated area in the Western Continent, let alone a way to enter a contaminated area."
When the terrorist theory failed to work, Ethan was left without direction.
Huh?
He is obviously a good person, but why has he relied more and more on terrorist theories recently when dealing with gods or evil gods?
Ethan began to reflect, which was not a good sign.
"Why not ask Amazing Kane?"
Ling Dong mentioned what Ethan often said in the imperial capital. In fact, when she heard that Kane was being held somewhere in an underground facility, she became uncontrollably excited, especially when Yug said " Keywords such as "highly guarded" and "difficult to sneak into" made her excitement reach its peak.
She came over and held Ethan's hands, "Otherwise, let's go to prison."
Ethan felt the cold touch on his hand and watched Lin Dong's cheeks flush with excitement.
Now he figured it out.
His teacher was a terrorist and taught him bad things!
