Chapter 58: Souls and Puppets
The passage was filled with lights, as if it were daylight.
Five or six people with weapons patrolled at the entrance of the passage, they exuded a faint aura, all of them were psionic beings, but these people's spiritual power was weak, not even a star, Yeming unfolded the spiritual concealment technique, and entered it smoothly.
Nightsong walked into the end of the cave, and the scene here made him gasp - thousands of spiritual puppets were neatly arranged in a huge clearing, and there were seven or eight mechanical arms running above the cave, grabbing the puppets on the machine tracks, and transporting them to the forks in the road with a rumbling sound, like a factory.
Nightsong also found that among the puppets, there were dozens of psionic people checking the runes on the puppets, and they were walking on the assembly line of the puppets, just like the workers of this processing factory.
"Tsk, it's not easy, how many psionics do you have to die here? ”
Nightsong jumped from a great height and came to the flat ground where the puppet was, his aura was hidden, and the surroundings seemed to be transparent, and no one noticed it.
All the puppets remained the same as they were when they were alive, they were naked, with many spiritual power runes inserted on them, both men and women, and they were people from different countries and races.
"Huh, these puppets, Nightsong, you get closer, I see a problem. ”
As instructed by Mr. Hardy, Nightsong walked up to the vicinity of a puppet and touched the puppet's forehead with her hand.
"Sure enough, there is something wrong with these puppets. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Their souls are not completely gone. ”
"Huh?"
Nightsong sensed the seriousness of the matter, these puppets actually involved souls.
"It stands to reason that when a person dies, the soul disappears, leaving only the body. But the souls of these puppets are not completely dead, but some remain in the body. If they are infused with enough soul power, they may be able to wake up. But I look at these puppets, they've been making them for a long time, and their soul power shouldn't be activated. ”
Ye Ming thought of Ye Shao, when Ye Shao was rescued by Ye Ming, Ye Shao was unconscious, but after Ye Ming infused him with soul power, Ye Shao miraculously came back to life.
"How does it work to preserve the souls of the dead?"
Nightsong asked.
"If the deceased is a strong-willed person in life, and they are strongly stimulated at the time of death, they will be left with a deep obsession, which may be resentment, or desire, or love, which can prevent the soul from completely disintegrating at the time of death. ”
"However, I have observed the nature of their remnants, who should have been subjected to strong mental torture in their lives, and who died with a strong desire for revenge. Moreover, these people are selected, and they are all strong-willed people during their lifetimes. ”
"Why do you have to go to great lengths to refine puppets to preserve your soul?"
Nightshade thought of the crux of the matter.
"Well, I'm thinking about it too. It stands to reason that the puppet only needs to preserve the physical body, and the physical body can release spiritual power for the use of the controller. And preserving the soul not only requires a lot of energy to arrange, but the puppet has a soul, which is more difficult to control. ”
Teacher Hardy was silent for a few seconds, then spoke his conjecture.
"Why do they do thankless things? I can think of only one purpose, they know the existence of souls, they are making soul power!"
Nightsong also thought of this possibility, if someone was really capturing souls, then Nightsong's environment would be quite dangerous, because he had a soul space, and he could also mobilize soul power, which was an energy that had disappeared in the present world.
"Yeming, we're going to take a few puppets, I want to study this puppet technique carefully, this kind of puppet technique is familiar to me, this is not an ordinary puppet forbidden technique, but a technique of my time. ”
"Hmm. ”
With that, Nightsong went into action, he took out the black beads left behind by Hester, and he thought of a good way - control the golem and then create chaos.
Yeming poured spiritual power into the beads, and the milky white halo was covered by the spirit concealment, and no one could see it except Yeming.
Nightsong discovers that he can control up to five golems. He hid to the side, waiting for the patrolling psionics to come, at this time, he saw the puppet suddenly twist its body, and under the control of Yeming, one hand coldly pierced the back of a psyker's heart, he screamed and died instantly.
This scream in the cave caught the attention of all the psykers.
"What's going on?!"
"That puppet is out of control!"
"Stop him!"
Seven or eight psionics rushed over, trying to stop the puppets, and at this time, the four puppets next to them attacked from behind, and the blood of the four psionics was splashed on the spot, and the other four were killed by the Yeming "Spirit" psionic card, and the spiritual power pierced their heads like bullets.
At this time, Yeming saw three more psionics running in the distance, these people's spiritual power was great, and they obviously had a two-star level.
Nightsong pulls out a C-grade psionic card from his beltpack, which is the "poisonous mist" he got from Hester. This card is perfect for both concealing your body and dealing damage in a wide area.
The psionic card was activated, with Yeming as the center, and a green spiritual mist erupted, instantly filling the surrounding area of more than fifty meters. The psionics who rushed over found that their aura was stained with green poisonous mist, and it was dissolved, and after a while, it came into contact with the skin, and his body festered, and he died a miserable death.
Even the three two-star psionics didn't dodge, one of them turned into blood on the upper half of his body, one only had half of his head left, and one of his hands was swallowed by the poisonous mist, rolling on the ground in pain, they were caught off guard, and they were completely killed by a C-rank psionic card.
At this moment, Nightsong controlled five golems out of the cave, and there were still seven or eight corpses of psykers on the passage, who were the guards killed by Nightsong.
Nightsong quickly flew out of the valley, and the five puppets followed Nightsong up the wall, and left the cave after a while.
"Finally left, Nightsong, let's find a place to hide. ”
Before Mr. Hardy's words fell, he saw a purple light shooting from behind Yeming, who quickly dodged and got into the woods below, while the five puppets were not so lucky, three of them were directly shattered into powder, and both were blown into pieces and fell to the ground.
"True spiritual power! It's a three-star psionic master!"
Yeming was hiding in the forest at the moment, he covered his whole body with the spirit concealment technique, hoping to avoid the pursuit of the other party, but there were several purple rays of light shooting towards the night song, and the night song had to withdraw the spirit concealment technique, and took out a C-level "mirror net" spiritual energy card from the backpack, and launched its power, the purple light was set on the white mirror net, like a light reflection bounced, and landed on the woodland next to it, setting off a huge explosion, and 3 tens of meters deep pits appeared at the explosion site.
"What a strong true spiritual power, this is the power of the strong attack system!"
Nightsong couldn't help but be horrified.
"Huh?
There was a soft sound in the distance, and a long-haired man coated in fat powder rubbed the golden flower ring in his right hand, and a pair of huge spiritual wings spread out behind his back, appearing in Yeming's field of vision.
"What is this?"
Ye Ming saw that this man with a strange yin and yang spirit was actually wearing the elder uniform of the Psionic Master Association!
