Chapter 10 The Soul-Changer (please read)
“Let me introduce myself again, Natalie Angel, the Soul-Changer who has fallen from the Lord of Order, with power level three.”
< br>Lynch stared blankly at Officer Natalie in front of him. Surrounded by more than a hundred weird creatures, the tall police officer looked calm and collected. The surrounding situation has obviously not improved, but for some reason, Lin Qi's heart, which has been hanging in the air since he entered the memory, relaxed for the first time, and he felt an inexplicable peace of mind.
"Qihun...hiss, be careful."
The surrounding monsters gradually woke up from their frenzy, and three of them had already pounced on them tentatively.
“Yes, soul-shifters, a group of lunatics who play with their own souls.”
With a bang, the police officer raised her sheathed sword without looking back, and held up a fallen claw. At the same time, she moved lightly horizontally. The monster that rushed over was immediately shaken by her own strength and moved towards a side. He fell sideways, collided with another of the same kind, and rolled into a ball.
"You don't have to be afraid, I will ensure your safety. They are just a group of Dreadclaws, not a threat."
As he spoke, Officer Natalie turned slightly to let the second Three monsters rushed past. The moment he passed by, he suddenly raised his long legs, raised them above his head, and slashed them down like a big ax, falling heavily on the monster's head, stamping its head hard into the ground.
Stepping on the monster, the police officer lifted up her hair, turned back and smiled lightly at Lynch:
"Tell me now, what did you see?"
I saw the goddess of war.
But Lynch didn't say that, because he saw a huge phantom of a scale suddenly appeared in the air above Officer Natalie, and at the same time, there seemed to be a lingering weird whisper in his ears, as if there were tens of millions of people. Someone whispered in his ear.
The scale hangs high in the sky, full of solemn majesty. Around the scale, three luminous patterns are like satellites, constantly circling the scale. Without even looking carefully, as long as he turned his attention to the pattern, Lynch's consciousness had automatically understood the appearance and meaning of the pattern. They were a shield, a book, and a small gavel, representing the three types of weapons that the Lord of Order once controlled. Powers: Protection, Law, and Judgment.
“This is the first time I have seen ordinary people see soul images.”
Stepping on the monster's head, Officer Natalie glanced at the monsters called Dreadclaws. They also realized that something had changed and were roaring and rushing towards them from more than ten meters away. The police officer spoke faster and said:
"What you see is my soul image, which is also a symbol of the Lord of Order. We use our souls to imitate the power of the gods to control the abilities attached to the power. Power is the source of our power, and the ability is what we fight with. Means, normally the soul image is invisible to others, except when you want to show it."
Even after just escaping from death, Lynch's mind was still aware of the attitude of the police officer. Seeing the completely opposite change, he subconsciously asked: "Are you showing me your power? Your attitude..."
"Yes, watch carefully, this is the fighting method of our soul-shifters."
"Roar."
The Dreadclaw is very fast, and it can cover more than ten meters in one sentence distance close to the front.
The police officer's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the monster under her feet screamed, her head was directly crushed, and her facial features were bleeding and paralyzed on the ground. The lady exerted force on her legs and kicked the monster of several hundred kilograms away, smashing it into the group of terrifying claws that rushed over.
But this did not stop the monster swarm. In Lynch's field of vision, the first dozen monsters were getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood on their bodies was already wafting over them.
Officer Natalie snorted coldly, raised her foot and stepped lightly on the ground. At the same time, the shield light ball outside the scale seemed to light up.
The next moment, Lin Qi found a circle of light emerging out of thin air at his feet.
As soon as the aperture appeared, it quickly expanded outwards and swept the nearby three-meter area in an instant. The first dozen or so Terrorclaws that rushed over collided head-on with the aperture, and were ejected like they hit the front of a steam locomotive, colliding with the same kind behind them.
What is this? If I could have such an ability, I wouldn't be in such a panic just now.
Lynch was stunned by the vision, and then he immediately realized that he was witnessing something extraordinary in this world.
The effortless movements, the huge shadow that appeared behind him, and the weird and strange effects in front of him all deeply attracted him, making him realize the extraordinary power of this world for the first time. With such a strong sense of expectation, I even forgot to consider my own safety for a while.
[Power, protection, ability, expulsion. 】
A gentle voice sounded in his head at the right time, answering the questions in his heart.
The inner Terror Claw was bounced away, and the outer one was squeezed inward. The two sides collided together and made a mess. Instead, a short vacuum zone was formed around the two of them.
“Just stay with me, they can’t hurt you.”
Officer Natalie smiled calmly, turned and walked outside.
Lin Qi's heart beat inexplicably faster. He picked up the top hat and hurriedly followed. Before he took two steps, the chaotic Terrorclaws were already swarming up.
This time, the book pattern outside the scale flashed, and Officer Natalie shouted coldly at the same time: "Don't come near, everyone, get back."
[Power, law, ability, shock. 】
Lin Qi felt nervous and immediately wanted to retreat as ordered, but reason immediately took back control and still followed the police officer closely.
But the surrounding monsters retreated desperately as if they were frightened, and were blocked by similar creatures that were crowding up, unable to advance or retreat.
"Hmph, it's a waste of time." The police officer frowned, pointed her sheathed sword forward, and shouted sternly, "I said, get out of the way and don't hurt anyone."
[Power, law , ability, order. 】
Lin Qi even held his breath for a moment, because he found that the airtight group of Dreadclaws in front of them had really made a gap.
That is not the behavior of being controlled and confused, but more like reluctant execution under a forced order.
Can monsters also understand human speech? Lin Qi was filled with questions.
“Let’s go.”
The police officer raised her sword, straightened her back, and walked towards the large group of Terrorclaws. Her lonely figure faced hundreds of monsters without any hesitation.
Looking at the ferocious Terrorclaws all around, Lynch paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chased after her. Instead of following behind her, he took two steps closer and walked side by side with her.
“Tsk.” The police officer glanced at him sideways, with a smile on her lips, “You have good willpower, but your face is too pale and your legs are still shaking, it’s ugly.”
Lin Qi opened his mouth to retort, but was too nervous to speak.
Because the two of them had already entered the narrow passage left by the Dreadclaw, the monster was close at hand and the roar was in their ears.
Each Terrorclaw bared its fangs and claws and was extremely ferocious. If any one waved its hand casually, its sharp claws could tear it into pieces.
I could only think to myself, there was a claw grazing my hair just now. It was only trembling, which is good. Believe it or not, I peed my pants on the spot.
"That's it, we're leaving now." After successfully getting over the last Terrorclaw that surrounded him, Officer Natalie grabbed Lynch's wrist hard.
[Power, protection, ability, escape. 】
Lin Qi felt his eyes blurred and the wind whistled in his ears. When his vision regained, he found that he had been dragged out of the encirclement and reached the other side of the altar, thirty or forty meters away from the large group of monsters.
What's more important is that not only is there not a Dreadclaw around, but there is also a relatively intact and solid earth house next to it.
Officer Natalie pushed hard and pushed Lynch into the building next to him, blocking the door himself:
"Stay in and don't come out. You should be protected here. It's time for you to do your best. . ”
Staggering into the earthen house, Lin Qi, whose blood had faded, felt that his whole body was limp, and he almost collapsed on the ground, leaning his back against the wall to barely support himself.
This woman is so amazing, but I can’t be compared to her.
You must not fall, you must not be embarrassed, and you must die standing.
Clenching his teeth and standing, Lin Qi looked around.
This ancient city was obviously not a place for monsters. The aborigines should be the corpses next to the statues. Now everyone is dead, but most of the houses are still intact. It can be seen that the defense effect of the house should be enough to deal with the claws of the Dreadclaw.
It seems to be safe for now.
Until now, Lynch actually still feels unreal.
Just a moment ago, he was lying waiting for death in front of the terrifying leader, and now he was casually rescued by this lady?
Her abilities are so enviable. I must master this extraordinary power and control safety in my own hands.
While I was thinking about it, the roar of Dreadclaw sounded from outside again. "Roar..."
As soon as Lynch disappeared, the Terrorclaws outside exploded.
Hundreds of monsters reacted and rushed towards them, waving their claws. The heavy footsteps sounded like thousands of horses galloping, making the earth tremble.
The police officer just shook her head, knelt on one knee, poked her sword on the ground, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and loudly said loudly: "The rules are set, those with evil intentions are not allowed to approach."
[Power, law, ability, legislation. 】
The balance in the sky suddenly lit up as a whole, shooting a beam of light around the earthen house. Lin Qi was within the scope of the light and clearly felt a solemn and solemn feeling around him.
A strange situation happened immediately.
Terrorclaw had already rushed around the earthen house, waving its claws to scratch the outer wall. However, after receiving the order, it immediately backed away reluctantly and circled around the earthen house, but did not dare to come within five meters of the door.
"It's safe now." Not surprised at all by Dreadclaw's performance, Officer Natalie calmly dusted off the dust on her windbreaker, leaned against the door frame holding her sword, and said calmly, "Performance is very good. , At least you can still stand on your own strength now. You have overturned all the impressions I had when we first met."
"Can they understand your orders?" Lynch finally had the chance to ask. The biggest question in my mind.
"I don't understand, but it is not my order that takes effect, but the power of the law. As long as there are intelligent creatures that produce order, they will have a natural respect for the rules. I make temporary regulations, and they instinctively feel that they must do the right thing." I'm always afraid of this, whether I understand it or not, even if I don't say it. Now you understand? "
"Huh, you haven't answered me yet, why did you tell me this?" After confirming that it was temporarily safe, Lin Qi's mind returned to alertness, "The attitude has changed, something must have happened."
"Because I can be sure now that if you want to survive, you must go to the path of a soul-shifter." There is no need to hide it from you anymore. It’s better to take the opportunity to tell you something in advance so that you can feel more comfortable when you are forced to choose.”
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Not only did Lynch not resist, but he felt inexplicable joy:
"Maybe I also have extraordinary power?"
"That's after suppressing the out-of-control strange objects. Before that, I need you to do some work."
Officer Natalie said solemnly:
"We are in a sacrificial building. The special magic object has the effect of retaining the memory of an ancient sacrificial ceremony. Everything you see seems real, but in fact it is a fragment of history that happened tens of thousands of years ago and was created with ordinary people. The connection is equivalent to sacrificing these people to the evil god in the simplest way. The memories in the strange objects will automatically complete the whole process. In reality, only a very simple ritual is required, and we must suppress it now. This strange thing, you..."
As he listened, Lynch saw that Officer Natalie's mouth was still moving, but her voice was getting farther and farther away. Then her chest felt as tight as a boulder, her vision went dark, and she fell softly.
However, as soon as his body hit the ground, his consciousness immediately returned to consciousness. With the little strength he had recovered, Lynch waved his hand towards Officer Natalie, struggled to get up, opened his shirt and looked at his chest. Several withered strands appeared on his chest. The blood vessels have extended to the heart.
My heart was beating very fast, and my whole body was covered in sweat. Lin Qi stared straight at his chest.
Death is so close, so close to despair.
She turned to look at Officer Natalie blankly. There was some sympathy on the lady's serious face.
"How long?" Although it was uglier than crying, Lynch at least gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"23 o'clock, there are still sixty minutes."
"Okay, keep talking." Lynch clenched his fists and said, "I want to see whether death comes faster or whether I run faster. "
Officer Natalie's expression was complicated, and there was a bit more admiration in her eyes: "Okay, if you survive, I'll treat you to a drink. I hope it's not too late. The next step is to suppress the strange objects. The only way is to come in." It can only be executed in the future. We need to read the memories of the strange objects and find the suppression conditions. Normally we can only try and make mistakes slowly, but now you are here.”
"Okay, what should I do?"
"I don't know. You can only explore by yourself. People with inspirational talents do this. I don't want to lie to you. The most inspirational people I have come into contact with are the most talented people. It will take more than an hour to read the mysterious memories. There may not be enough time, but you can still try. Remember that time is tight, the sooner the better."
"I understand." Lynch. Gritting his teeth and nodding, "I will do my best for my own life."
As he said this, he touched his withered chest and said, 'Travel companion, you have enough time. ’
[It only takes forty minutes to read the memories of strange objects at one time and can be completed within the time limit. However, your will will be under great pressure, and you may lose your mind during the process, resulting in failed reading. Splitting the reading into two takes fifty to fifty-five minutes, which is relatively safe, but the remaining time may not be enough to complete the conditions. 】
‘So I don’t actually have a second option, right. So the last question, if time passes, will I really die? ’
【meeting. 】
‘Then what are you waiting for? Come on, let us read out the conditions of suppression in one go. ’
