Chapter 1196: New Life (Fifty-two)
"Why?" I asked, confused, "Didn't you just say it yourself...... Will such a remnant of consciousness die out quickly if it does not stay in the host?"
Wen Yun shook her head: "The situation is a little different now...... Didn't you find ...... Is the timing of these remnants of consciousness strange?"
I was slightly stunned, and then I understood the meaning of Wen Yun's words: "Are you talking ...... These resentful spirits are ...... Summoned?"
Wen Yun nodded.
"But they're not Gu creatures, how could someone use a Gu spell to gather them?" I said, "It doesn't seem quite logical. ”
"Other people may not, but ......" Wen Yun's face became more and more ugly: "What if it is Qianqian herself?"
Qianqian herself......
I was shocked by Wen Yun's words, indeed, all the phantoms we see now are all Qianqian's appearance, and Qianqian, as the general source of these energies, can indeed mobilize them. But isn't Qianqian herself dead? her body has even been reduced to ashes, could it be that the energy she has left behind has evolved enough to think independently?
If all this is true, then it can actually be called a ghost.
Xiao Chen...... Our understanding of the ideology left over from these energies is still very shallow, and when I was in the Salvation Army, many people discussed this aspect, including some people who knew a lot about Gu arts, and they didn't dare to completely deny it. ”
"So what do we do now?" I asked, frowning.
However, Wen Yun did not answer my question, but continued to say to herself: "But...... You find that there is no ...... This may not be entirely a bad thing! If Qianqian's energy residue can really form an autonomous consciousness, it means that we can actually communicate with her! Since we can communicate, it seems that we can persuade her to take the initiative to give up the maintenance of the entire energy source, after all, it all started with her, and naturally it should end with her!"
Wen Yun's idea is indeed good, but I don't think there is much hope, because even if Qianqian really has an independent consciousness, then she, like Yuechen, has been treated inhumanly as early as a child with an unsound mind, and their minds have long been unable to understand in a normal way.
The only positive side I can think of now is that when I saw Qianqian in a lucid dream, I found that she was at least a kind-hearted child, but I also saw her appearance shortly before her death, and Qianqian at that time was actually very close to Yuechen, even more terrible than Yuechen!
However, Wen Yun's words somewhat explain the strange exchanges I made with her when I was captured in the ancient castle by the Taoyuan Island people. At that time, I felt that this Qianqian's energy consciousness was not very similar to other energy sources I had encountered before, and I felt that communicating with her was closer to talking to a real person, and now it seems that this is also related to the strange phenomenon that is happening now.
As he spoke, more phantoms appeared in Tai Sui's body, and this time I saw it more clearly, they were indeed not resentful spirits, and even those phantoms that emerged from Duan Xiaoxiao's body before were not completely consistent, I always felt that these phantoms seemed to be really the kind of Gu things that already had the ability to act independently, but these Gu objects were translucent, and they could float in mid-air.
"What's more!" Wen Yun said with an expression that suddenly remembered something: "These Tai Sui must be driven by the Burmese Gu Master now, so the corpses in its body now must be those voodoo people!"
Wen Yun's meaning is that Tai Sui was driven by the Burmese Gu Master to kill a large number of voodoo members, and I feel that Wen Yun should not be very clear that these Burmese Gu masters are also divided into several factions, but now this is irrelevant, because no matter which wave of Burmese Gu masters controls Tai Sui, there are voodoo sects among their enemies.
And now the corpse devoured in the body of this Tai Sui is most likely a voodoo person, so ...... Does it mean that all voodoo members have this strange phantom in their bodies? And all of them have the appearance of Qianqian?
In addition, it is worth mentioning that none of the masked people have ever appeared in their bodies, at least the masked people in my line of sight, and the vast majority of the masked people here are transformed from wanderers, and only a very small number of masked people who have just reached the peak have changed from Taoyuan Island people, so I can infer that at least Qianqian's energy does not exist in the body of the wanderers, at least most of them.
As soon as I thought of this, I heard a large number of strange noises coming from the mountains in the distance, most of which sounded like almost ethereal shouts, but if I listened closely, I could see that there was a bit of desolation in them.
It's a bit like the moon spirit's song when she summons a bhikshu bird, but it's much more terrifying, it's not a sound made by the moon spirit, and she doesn't seem to have the ability.
"Brother Xiao Chen...... Do you want to go to Ouyang Shuo first?" Xiaoxiao reminded me at this time, and I came back to my senses and told Wen Yun to leave those phantoms alone, we still have to find Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing first, and maybe they have a better countermeasure.
At this time, there was no longer a phantom in Tai Sui's body in the distance, and most of the phantoms that appeared before continued to fly towards the air, gradually disappearing into the air.
Similarly, the image of Qianqian that appeared in Yuechen's body has long since disappeared, and after this Qianqian's phantom left Yuechen, although her state has not recovered, at least it has not become worse, and it seems that there is no danger to her life for the time being.
I continued to take the moon dust with me, and at the same time asked Wen Yun to keep an eye on the situation on the detector, and the group of us began to quickly rush towards the location of the underground prison where Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing were hiding.
But what disturbed me was that from the time we had just fallen to the bottom to where we were now, there had been a dead silence in the underground prison, and it felt like no one was there. If it weren't for the fact that there was a large group of masked people surrounding this place just now, and there was no other exit here, I would have suspected that there really would be no one inside.
But now there is silence inside, which means that there is a problem 100%, I first asked Wen Yun to take a look at the detector, and she told me that there are some low-intensity energy sources inside, some of which are even weaker than ordinary Gu things, and this is also one of the distinguishing characteristics of wanderers, most of them are at least lightly infected individuals by Gu worm viruses, and their energy intensity is naturally lower than that of Gu animals.
But that's not the point, the point is that since we've confirmed that there's an energy source in it, why isn't there any sound? In terms of my hearing acuity, I can feel any movement in it.
I let the others wait, and I looked over to the entrance to the cell.
Although it was night when I came here before, the scenes inside and outside had long been imprinted in my mind, this prison was originally composed of two parallel exits, but now they have been covered by a large number of heavy objects, it seems that Ouyang Shuo and they have also resisted here for a long time before.
In addition, I found a few scattered footprints near the entrance, presumably left by Jab and Zaka, as well as another surviving wanderer, who were safe at least until they entered the entrance, and what happened to them is unknown......
I don't know why now, but my heartbeat is inexplicably accelerating, and the more this invisible danger is, the more palpitating it becomes.
After approaching the entrance, I didn't rush in for the first time, but first tried to sense some of the energy inside the door, although I already knew the general situation inside from the detector just now, but it was still necessary to conduct a second test for the subtle distribution of energy inside.
And I did find a problem under the induction, that is, although the energy inside is not strong, it is obviously flowing rapidly.
You must know that this is a very strange phenomenon, because there is only one situation where the energy is flowing so fast, that is, someone deliberately gathers the energy and then forces it out of the body, to put it bluntly, it only appears when I use the psionic wave, but now there is no sound in it at all, why is the energy rushing around?
In this way, the situation inside was no longer optimistic, and the strange noises we had just heard from those mountains were becoming more and more frequent, so I immediately made a decision and slashed at those bunkers and obstacles with my mountain opener.
The obstacles, though extremely sturdy, quickly cracked open with the force of my blow, and I quickly enlarged the gaps, eventually opening a complete entrance for people to pass through.
As soon as the entrance opened, I saw a large breath suddenly emerging from inside, I thought it was anger, but after dodging, I realized that these were actually the blue-gray colors unique to those third energies, but in addition to these breaths, there was also some bloody smell inside.
I scrambled to steady, then used my night vision to take a closer look inside.
......
Then I gasped!
Because I saw that the people inside were standing like zombies, their bodies were stiff and motionless, but their eyes were all glowing with a strange light, and they were still that blue-gray!
These people ...... All of them have been deeply impregnated by the third energy!
I found Jabu and Zaka in the crowd almost immediately, because these two children were still much smaller than the other wanderers, and the two of them stood hand in hand, and they could see that they were still very scared before they became ossified, and their expressions showed a strong desire to survive.
Well......
It occurred to me that I had seen such a scene before, and more than once.
Whether it's the people around me, or those soul-revenating corpses transformed by the Gu worm virus, and some other strange Gu creatures, even voodoo people have been in a similar situation, they usually stand in place like sculptures, but the most important thing is that the vital signs are still there.
I didn't know the reason for this before, but based on the information I have now, it is likely that the reason why these people are standing still is that the energy temporarily shocks their brains, causing them to temporarily fall into a lucid dream-like illusion.
And if you want to break the confinement of this illusion, either the imprisoned person uses his own willpower, energy and experience to forcibly break free, or there is an external powerful ability to impact them to get him out of this shackle.
And now the vast majority of people here don't have the ability to help themselves, so I can only use the second method now.
This was the only way I could think of right now, and I quickly channeled all the energy I could into my right arm and slammed it forward.
A large stream of energy mixed with the dust and rubble on the ground slammed forward, and then I saw many of the wanderers inside coughing, either choking on the dust or from their own sudden awakening.
Jab and Zaka were the first to get out and run towards me.
"It's Qianqian! she's coming!" said Yabu and Zaka almost simultaneously, both with a look of utter horror on their faces.
I understand them very well, after all, both of them have seen the horror of Qianqian with their own eyes.
"Where is she?" I asked.
"I don't know, but it's a strong feeling! And she's got us under control!" Qianqian added, "She kidnapped us in a lucid dream!"
"I'm afraid it's not a simple lucid dream anymore......" I said, glancing back at the mountains beyond the entrance, "and her energy doesn't stop here...... By the way, what about Ouyang Shuo?"
However, Jab and Zaka both shook their heads, saying that they had been controlled before they entered, and I asked the other wanderers around me about the whereabouts of the two siblings.
The wanderers themselves seemed surprised, and everyone said that the siblings were still there just now, but now they were gone.
I thought to myself, this is really a hell of a life, could it be that they sensed the danger in advance, so they left the moment they were imprisoned?
However, although Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing are not there, at least this group of wanderers still follow me, and then again, it seems that they only have one way to follow me now.
At this time, large dark clouds began to appear in the sky around us, and these dark clouds also showed that they were the product of energy aggregation, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
I just wanted everyone to leave here quickly, and then look for the two sisters and brothers by the way, when I heard the holy woman and Duan Xiaoxiao covering their foreheads almost at the same time.
