Chapter 36 The Second Road
Lin Qi knew that his soul was a sacrifice from the Ancient Flicker and had been branded by it. He only waited a month before he came to take it away.
The evil god described by Mrs. Bessie also wants souls.
So from the beginning, he planned to sell two goods for one product. Of course, such good skills must be vigorously promoted.
Since both of you want souls, I can only ask you to have a fight before deciding who to give them to.
Anyway, it’s a matter of survival. If you succeed, you can break the situation and save Officer Natalie. If you fail, it’s just death. Anyway, she helped save this life, so there is nothing to fear. Yes.
For this reason, Lynch specifically asked his traveling companions in his mind when he entered the Thorn Flower. The answer he got was that it was feasible, so he immediately made up his mind.
When we came down, we just happened to catch up with Jeremy to reveal the truth, or in other words, we deliberately waited for him to come down before he revealed the truth. However, as we listened, our gentle traveling companion had already warned him.
The mysterious filth has developed a strong connection with his soul.
Fortunately, Lin Qi was completely relieved now, and when the pressure of the whirlpool appeared, he immediately rushed over.
There were no spiders and toads in the illusion. In reality, there were just two strange auras colliding head-on.
There was no sound, but the next moment, visions appeared.
Lin Qi seemed to see an abandoned city on the frozen soil, as if he saw spiders crawling on cobwebs, as if he saw ferocious giant beasts and bloody wars, as if he saw dense nets and crawling silk cocoons.
Everything was fragments, fragments of light and shadow, fragments of sound, all the fragments overlapped together and rushed into Lynch's brain instantly, making his brain burst with pain.
However, this is only what he can understand. Beyond this, there are more twisted, taboo, and incomprehensible fragments rushing into his mind, making him clutch the moon pendant on his chest tightly. Decoration, I just feel a little crazy.
In a trance, he saw the two strange and inexplicable terrifying existences again. The two sides were separated at the touch of a touch. Most of the body of the human spider's belly was turned into powder, dragging half of the spider's belly and a few legs and quickly escaped, and the six legs The giant human-faced toad beast had just woken up from its slumber when it was hit head-on, and its body turned into debris all over the sky.
Roar.
A silent howl came from the depths of Lynch's soul. The howl was full of anger. It took a long time to gradually dissipate, and the sight that had just been peeping at Lynch and Natalie suddenly disappeared. That indescribable will fades away quickly like the tide towards the whirlpool.
"Ah~~"
The impact was too strong. Lin Qi held his head and almost knelt down on the spot. He felt that his brain was in extreme pain as if it had been burned. His consciousness was so confused that he could not even understand the current situation. I could only ask desperately in my mind: 'Were those two evil gods just now? We succeeded or not. ’
[That’s just your brain trying to protect itself by converting reality into a picture you can understand, but you did succeed. The web of obscurity has been breached, objects and events have been detached from the web, and you are disconnected from each other. 】
'call. '
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even though he already had a headache and wanted to cut off his head, he couldn't help but smile. However, before he could raise the corners of his mouth, a gentle female voice spoke to his consciousness again. sounded.
[Lin Qi, catch up. Put your hand into the vortex, quickly. 】
This was the first time a female voice had made a request, and her tone was always gentle and calm, like a bystander. This time, it actually made Lynch feel anxious and urging.
But Lynch still hesitated.
Although he didn't know what the hell was inside, he knew that something had just retracted.
Reach in and touch? No kidding.
However, when his mind changed, he realized three things.
First, in so many years of loneliness, she was probably the one who stayed with me.
Second, she never harmed herself.
Third, she is my only support in this world.
There is no reason why I can't trust her again. She is always helping me.
So it only took Lynch a second to make his decision.
He glanced back at Officer Natalie, because the strange will had faded away, and she had regained her strength. She was breaking free from the cobwebs and getting up. Knowing that there was no need to worry about her for the time being, he looked into her surprised eyes. , quickly rushed to the whirlpool, closed his eyes and reached in with his hand. Don't encounter anything strange, Lin Qi didn't even dare to imagine.
However, there was nothing inside. Lin Qi grabbed it and looked around again. He didn't encounter anything the first two times, but the third time, he felt as if he had caught something.
It seems that even he himself is not sure. There is no feeling in his hands, but there is a feeling in his heart that I have caught something. Without even thinking about it, he subconsciously grabbed the 'thing' in his hand and retracted his hand.
Open your eyes and look at the palms of your hands, but they are empty.
Am I feeling wrong? Didn't actually catch anything?
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong. Suddenly there was a burning feeling in his chest, as if something was burning.
When I lowered my head and touched it, it turned out that it was not an illusion. The thing that was generating heat was the moon pendant hanging on my chest.
Lin Qi was surprised when he took off the pendant and took it in his hand. He found that the pendant was emitting a faint red light, turning the originally black pendant into the unique red of the red moon.
This is it?
Focusing his eyes on the glowing pendant, Lynch felt dizzy, as if his vision was sucked in by the pendant. He quickly shook his head to regain his senses, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, he was no longer in the dark cave, but appeared in a pitch-black void, surrounded by endless emptiness, and he was suspended in the void.
What's going on?
Lin Qi knew it must be related to the pendant, but he was not nervous at all. He just kept asking in his mind: 'Is everything okay outside? The battle situation will not change. ’
[The time here is distorted and will not affect the time outside. What you just captured was one of Hongyue's powers, Hide. It was only after the fall that the divine power was occupied by the Abyss Webweaver. He occupied the hidden divine power, and he had the characteristic of hiding secrets. 】
Huh? What? That thing is authority? Doesn’t authority only exist in concepts? How can it be grasped with hands?
But after thinking about what I felt just now, I completely believed it.
[The authority you captured activated Hong Yue’s memory, allowing it to unlock its lost authority. 】
‘Wait, this thing is actually Hongyue’s memory? Can it alienate my soul? In other words, I look for the Holy Mystery everywhere under the red moon every day? Why didn't you remind me? ’
[It was not originally a sacred memory. It can only be used as a sacred memory after absorbing the authority that originally belonged to Red Moon. The authority of the gods will only be lost after the clones or wills of the gods are shattered. Normally you would not have a chance, so I have no need to remind you. 】
The corners of Lin Qi's mouth trembled. It really made sense, leaving him speechless.
[Now, Lynch, originally you only had one choice, but now a second option appears. 】
‘It seems that you have become more proactive because of this, traveling companion. ’
[Yes, it’s also because of the second choice. 】
‘What is the second option? '
[You can follow the original plan, get the sacred memories of Red Moon and alienate the soul in the normal way. Then I will accompany you through this road of awakening and witness every step on this road together. landscape. Now you have a second choice, I can use this item to open a new path to your alienated soul. If you choose this road, I will continue to accompany you. Compared with the conventional method, this road will bear hundreds of times more difficulties, but during the journey we can witness the unique scenery together. 】
‘This is too sudden, do you have to make a choice now? ’
[Yes, there is only this opportunity, so you must decide immediately. 】
‘Let me ask first, is it my illusion? When you introduced the second option, you seemed to have intentionally skipped a sentence. You deliberately ignored the sentence about completing the road to recovery. Why? ’
[You will know the reason later, but... it is not an illusion. 】
‘But we have to face thousands of times more difficulties? ’
[Yes, long and difficult. 】
‘What about me, will it be any good? ’
[Can’t be sure, I can only say, maybe. 】
‘Oh, do you still need to ask? As a time traveler, I like unique scenery. ’
