Volume 2: Empire Chapter 25: The Riot of the Book of Disast
"Hello, Sheriff... My name is Dark Night, and I am the contractor of Princess Dale of the Golden Shield Empire. Are you also an iteration of the Shadow Parasite?"
Dark Night felt the spiritual power of the same kind.
He didn't know the origin of this shadow parasitic meta-iteration in front of him, but the black cat's desire to attack scared Dark Night, who was a mouse. However, even though he was afraid, Dark Night did not forget to show his relationship with the noble bloodline, which made the black cat show its claws.
"Little guy, is it worth showing off to be the contractor of the royal princess? Believe it or not, I will kill you now and make Princess Dale sign a contract with me."
Seeing that the black cat dared to snatch her contractor, An Ye instantly forgot the mouse's instinctive fear of cats. She drew out the rapier she was wearing and made a gesture to attack, as if she would have immediately stepped forward and blinded the cat's eyes if the glass cup hadn't been blocking her.
"Hey, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you have a strong body. If you dare to covet your highness's soul, I will make you die in an ugly way."
The cat in the cage was struggling and banging its head against the wire mesh, trying to get out and teach the mouse in the glass a lesson.
Qingkong was stunned. She thought that the two iterations of the Shadow Parasite would be like fellow villagers meeting and crying. Unexpectedly, they started fighting over Princess Dale, which perfectly demonstrated the sick bloodline values of the Shadow Parasite.
"If you two continue to quarrel, I will give you electric shock therapy for half an hour."
The room immediately became quiet.
Dark Night and the Sheriff stayed obediently in the glass cup and the cage. They had suffered a lot in Qingkong's experiments before, and they could not resist. They could only let this powerful elf manipulate them at will.
Seeing that Dark Night and the Sheriff had quieted down, Qingkong continued, "Through previous experiments, I have a basic understanding of your mental power. I have to sigh that as a spiritual supernatural creature, Dark Night Parasite has unparalleled insight and control over the spirit and soul.
Next, I need the two of you to work together to conduct a mental extraction experiment."
The sheriff glared at Dark Night with hostile eyes, then said to Clear Sky: "I know what you want to do, but my current mental strength is not enough to complete your experiment. Even with this guy, the chance of failure is very high."
Qingkong knew that the experiment she was going to do was a bit forced, but it was difficult for her to find a suitable and obedient Dark Night Parasite Iteration in a short time. Every day she was delayed, the experimental props would weaken a little bit, and there would be no need to carry out this experiment if she waited a few more days.
"I will set up a secret technique to use my mental power to amplify your mental power. If you help me complete this experiment, I can use the secret technique to enhance your strength as a reward."
I heard there is a reward, and it's the kind that increases your strength!
Dark Night and the Sheriff looked at each other and said together, "Okay, I'll help you."
"Very good, let's get started."
Qingkong snapped his fingers, and the restraint attached to the glass was released. The sheriff swung his claws, the sharp blade cut through the wire mesh, and then walked out with cat steps. Dark Night was not to be outdone, and swung his rapier quickly, cutting a door in the glass.
The sheriff made a cat's meow, and in the dark night there was a mouse's chirp.
Qingkong yelled, "Shut up!"
The cat and the mouse became quiet again.
Qingkong felt that the success rate of his experiment had dropped again... What a headache!
But the experiment continues.
Qingkong cleared all unnecessary things on the experimental table, and then placed the prepared mysterious props in their respective positions.
Twelve mysterious prop candles are placed in the reverse zodiacal position, and connected into a twelve-pointed star array with paint made from corrosive vine juice. Supplementary words: Soapstone, fly-catching psychedelic flower, coffin fragments, siren scales, lion scorpion venom, crystal fragments, burial thorns.
Subject: Diary of the deceased.
The words of the secret art: The gaze of the departing one.
The secret technique was activated, and the candles automatically lit up, the light gathered upwards into a ball of light, and cast a beam of light on the diary of the deceased in the middle of the formation. The auxiliary props surrounding it gradually turned into dust, and then turned into green smoke, forming a light white mist above the diary.
The diary opened, and I slowly turned the pages one by one. In the intersection of light and fog, black and white images like film were played silently.
It tells the story of a halfling's study.
He came to the Golden Shield Empire's Saint Lun City alone, and his talent was quickly appreciated by his mentor. However, his race made it difficult for him to fully display his talent... until one day, his mentor took him to the Empire's Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center.
The son of a halfling village chief became the eldest son of the chief of the halfling tribe. The shadow parasitic meta-iteration body did not know that the halflings had never formed a strong tribe, and gladly accepted this noble bloodline.
The parasitic process went more smoothly than anyone expected.
The halfling blessed by the shadow parasitic meta-iteration body showed extremely powerful mental strength, so powerful that people ignored his race.
His name is Orlando Grover.
That diary was found by the Secret Service of Raging Waves when they searched Grover's property. Qingkong made it into a mysterious prop to complete the secret language this time.
"Looking Back at the Lost" reviews Grover's life by restoring the memory fragments left in his diary. For the Shadow Parasite, these memory fragments make it easier for them to infiltrate the soul of the target and search for deeper memories and souls.
Dark Night and the Sheriff squatted outside the mystic circle, their eyes fixed on the images in the mysticism, and the collected memory fragments flashed quickly in their open pupils.
"I saw the depths of his soul." The sheriff who once parasitized in Grover's soul was the first to complete the positioning of the deep soul.
After a while, Dark Night also said: "I saw the depths of his soul."
The cat and the mouse seemed to be frozen in time.
The diary of the deceased in the occult center turned the last page and turned into flying smoke in the collapse.
The mystical ritual is coming to an end.
Qingkong took out an ice cube from his space backpack and placed it on the place of the deceased's diary. Inside the transparent ice cube was a fresh brain.
The image disappeared at this moment, but the fog did not dissipate. In the light, a circle of black holes appeared in the fog, and the eyes of the sheriff and Dark Night shot light towards the black hole.
The light simply sank into the black hole, and no reaction occurred.
The sheriff said: "Grover's soul energy loss is very serious. Our mental power has no way to open his deep soul."
Qingkong said: "I will provide you with spiritual power, and you search for what I want."
Qingkong took out a few gems of different colors, held them between his fingers and used hand seals to activate the words of the secret technique.
Mental Gate: Open.
The majestic mental power surged out like a huge wave. Behind Qingkong, a man's black shadow stood close to her with his back against her.
Qingkong and Luke are one, and her spiritual energy is Luke's spiritual energy. In the process of Luke constantly giving his spiritual power to Qingkong and then taking it back, his soul and spirit are constantly tempered and strengthened. So much so that when Qingkong releases the invisible spiritual energy, it can even cause the airflow to blow the candlelight and shake violently.
"Don't think about peering into my soul through my spirit. Your little spiritual energy will be dispersed by my impact."
Qingkong used his mental power to warn the two shadow parasitic meta-iterations. This kind of extraordinary creature is too evil, and we have to take precautions.
The Sheriff and Dark Night couldn't speak at the moment and could only wag their tails to show that they understood.
Replenished with spiritual energy, the light from their eyes became thicker. The black hole finally responded, with circles of colorful halos rippling around, and then gradually changing steadily and regularly.
Suddenly the halo dispersed and formed a light body like an eye.
The light body spread spiritual energy outward in circles, forming ripples.
The sheriff then said, "Miss Clear Sky, we are going in. What are you looking for?"
Qingkong flipped her hand, and the Book of Disaster floated above her palm.
The ripples from the light ball swept across the Book of Disaster, and the originally quiet book actually became a little restless.
"What makes the Book of Disaster so uneasy?"
The sheriff replied, "It's the negative energy that Grover has been accumulating. It settles in his soul, and once stimulated, it will be multiplied by his powerful mental power."
"Not all negative energy can make the Book of Disaster respond. Can you extract this negative energy? I need it to understand the Book of Disaster."
"It's difficult," the sheriff said. "Negative energy is in the mind, and the mind is in the soul. Grover's soul will soon be completely gone, and everything will disappear with it."
That’s a bit of a pity.
Through his understanding of the Book of Disaster, Qingkong determined that players had not yet fully developed its value. As a prop that can open the abyss, it would be a waste of talent to make it a "brick".
Perhaps due to the game version issue, the functions of the Book of Disaster have not been fully opened to players. However, this world does not have version issues, and some features that players have not seen are gradually being revealed to Qingkong.
Suddenly, the Book of Disaster became even more agitated.
It flew up uncontrollably and rushed to the side of the light ball. The book opened and the pages fluttered.
Faced with such a dangerous emergency, Qingkong immediately closed her mental gate to prevent Luke from being infected by the energy of the abyss. She then leaped up to grab the Book of Disaster. When her fingers touched the Book of Disaster, she saw a dark abyss unfolding in front of her.
Clear sky pushes the level to the highest level.
When he opened his icy eyes, he realized that what he saw was an illusion influenced by the Book of Disaster.
No one knew where the sheriff and Dark Night had escaped to.
Qingkong grabbed the Book of Disaster and tried to pull it back, but the Book of Disaster did not move at all. At this time, countless black smoke emerged from the Book of Disaster, wrapped the light ball, and then pulled it into the book.
Time passes in seconds.
When Qingkong confirmed that the existing maximum power in the world was not enough to pull the Book of Disaster, the throbbing in her heart made her recite the ancient golden language.
"Click, click, click..." is the sound of the pointer moving.
Golden Compass!
The artifact of the ancient Golden Civilization was lost in the war. The Golden people now use the ancient Golden language, and although they can still get a response from the Golden Compass, the response is very vague.
But at this moment, the sound of the golden compass seemed to be ringing in my ears.
A golden sword appeared in Qingkong's hand.
The sharp sword swung and cut through the space, and also cut off the black smoke from the Book of Disaster. The Book of Disaster lost all its power and was caught by Qingkong, who then threw it into the space backpack.
The golden sword dispersed, the level was lowered, and Qingkong gasped for breath.
Since she came to this world, she had never doubted her position in this world in terms of her strength . But the few seconds just now made her realize that she was only strong in this version.
If you don't want to become cannon fodder for the next version, you must start preparing now.
Fortunately, within the foreseeable time frame, he still possesses the world's top military force.
Qingkong checked the Book of Disaster in the space backpack, and after confirming that it was really well behaved, he looked at the ball of light floating in the air.
Logically speaking, the two shadow parasitic meta-iteration bodies that maintained the existence of the light ball ran away, and it should have dissipated without energy supply, so why was it still floating there? Moreover, it existed when Grover's brain had already turned into ashes in the secret ritual, which was very unscientific.
"Sheriff! Dark Night!" Clear Sky shouted.
A cat and a mouse came out from under the table and then jumped onto the table.
The two Shadow Parasite Meta-iterations did not feel any guilt for just deserting the battlefield. The Sheriff even said confidently, "Ms. Clear Sky, direct combat is not what we Shadow Tribe are good at. I was just hiding in the dark and observing the situation just now, so that I could provide you with more effective support."
Dark Night also said: "I am also waiting for the opportunity. Miss Qingkong, are you a shining gold man?"
Qingkong didn't want to reveal that he knew the ancient Glittering Gold language, especially since Luke had shown the Glittering Gold spell in front of Dark Night. But if the ancient Glittering Gold language hadn't caused the Golden Compass to respond, who knows what would happen if the Book of Disaster swallowed the light ball.
"I just know a little bit of the ancient Glittering Gold language." Qingkong explained , and then said: "You two look at what this ball of light looks like now. Grover's brain is gone, it shouldn't continue to exist."
The Sheriff and Dark Night were in awe of the force that had just erupted from Clear Sky, and did not dare to delay in releasing their spiritual energies immediately to observe the ball of light floating in the air.
"strangeness!"
“Very strange!”
“This kind of thing shouldn’t exist on its own.”
"Yeah... Just like us, the Dark Night Parasites, it is difficult for us to survive without the spiritual energy supply from the outside world after we are created."
"Where is the source of its spiritual energy supply?"
“I can’t find it.”
When Qingkong was about to lose her temper, the sheriff said, "Miss Qingkong, according to our judgment, this is a new spiritual supernatural species."
Dark Night added: "To be precise... it is a spiritualized brain. It does not have Grover's memories, but only Grover's knowledge. It can respond to external stimuli, but it does not have self-awareness.
It does whatever you tell it to do.
A very low-level spiritual supernatural species."
“Very low-level!”
