Chapter 148: The location of the sealing rift
The journey was uneventful and nothing happened.
The Harpy owls, who came like crazy, also disappeared and disappeared, leaving only a record on Ren Huashang's mission report. But Yuan Xiao understood that it was a planned attack, and it was definitely not as simple as hunting the core to be able to summon so many mid-level demons, and to be able to accurately know the movements of Yuan Xiao and his party, and launch a surprise attack.
This is a temptation and a warning.
Ren Huashang didn't fall asleep, she thought about the attack on her flight to CQ City, and what else could be investigated. I have to admit that if it weren't for that attack, based on the specific content of this mission, it would be difficult for her to make an assessment of Sun Haiqing that "there is no possibility of demonic transformation tendency and lack of stance at all".
Here we will mention what is meant by "demonic conversion tendencies" and "lack of positional possibility". The birth and evolution of the ability of the Sin Sect has always been a key point of discussion and research between the Demon Hunter Guild and the "Jiutian", but so far, there has never been a defensible statement on how a person can awaken the ability of the Sin Sect, what factors determine the type of awakening ability, what is the evolution principle of the ability, and where this power comes from.
At present, the most commonly accepted theory is that the power of the sin sect is actually a debt borrowed from hell. The cause may be some unknowable chaotic factor that connects the awakened to hell, and "borrows" certain abilities, and then improves them through other unknowable chaotic factors. But since it is a "debt", it must be repaid.
Besides, Hell is not a conscientious banker, if you eat three points, you will vomit ten points.
As mentioned before, many of the demon hunters at the level of "Yu" and "Shun" can be upgraded to the top level, but they don't, the reason is that the moment the level is capped, it is the time to repay the debt, which is the so-called "demon transformation tendency". This tendency is manifested in both the degree of demonization and the possibility of continued transformation, both of which serve as basic criteria for measurement. In addition to the ability to reach the top level will "pay off the debt", believing in the demon or the ancient god behind it, being polluted by the blood of the demon or being infected by some evil secret method will "pay off the debt" in advance.
People who "repay debts" will basically increase the degree of degeneration in order according to the following stages: the first stage, mental chaos, Loss of reason, showing a certain degree of recognition and sympathy for the words and images of demons, etc., manifested in the task of unwillingness to fight demons, etc., and at the same time unable to reasonably control the ability of the sin in the body, the joints began to appear obvious cysts and hydrops; the second stage, almost crazy, has an indelible paranoia about killing and destruction, and the body shows some signs of unnamed demons; in the third stage, he completely abandons his own will, has a natural contempt and desire for destruction of humans, his body is semi-demonized, his intelligence and agility are greatly reduced, and the battle is all based on instinctγ This process is also known as the "absence of position".
Of course, there are always some surprises.
Lan No is a typical case of taking the initiative to "repay debts" by believing in demons, but it turns out that he seems to have mastered some kind of "bargaining" method with hell. According to the survivors of the case that year, Lan Fu showed extremely high self-control and rational behavior, obviously eliminating the side effects of "spiritual" and "intellectual" annihilation caused by repaying debts, and there were almost no demonic signs on his body, after slaughtering the imperial capital union, he swaggered and changed his clothes and went to slaughter the Lan family.
Sun Haiqing did not have any demonic signs on his body, and when he fought with Harpi Owl, he did not have any resistance, Ren Huashang did a certain degree of inspection of Sun Haiqing through the "Twilight Train", and naturally wrote in the "conclusion" of the mission report, "Sun Haiqing does not have any demonic transformation tendencies and the possibility of lack of position, and agrees to join the Demon Hunter Guild, and the Demon Capital Branch led by Jun Suo will be organized and managed." β
For Sun Haiqing herself, she has begun to adapt to the unreasonable way of doing things in witchers, and slowly become accustomed to facing the world and herself with a new identity and mentality.
She turned her head sideways and looked at Yuan Xiao who closed her eyes and recuperated, and a sweet ripple appeared in the deepest part of her heart.
Anyway, I'm still alive, and I'm still there.
God, I'm satisfied......
Yuan Xiao has been thinking about how to crack Ren Huashang's "Twilight Train". I have to say that this ability is too perverted, Yuan Xiao clearly felt the danger of pinprick skin, although he had long lost the ability to fear, but he still didn't want to let it go.
After thinking about it, from the current point of view, it seems that he really doesn't have any methods or measures to deal with Ren Huashang's almost perverted reaction ability, and the moment he makes a move, the ending is decided. "Damn couple. Yuan Xiao cursed silently, subconsciously stroked his chin, and came to the hall of thinking.
He rarely came to Orkus on his own initiative, except as a last resort. And there is also Orkus's ban, and the original owl tries not to come to him when Ren Huashang is there. But now that Ren Huashang was asleep, Yuan Xiao hurriedly took the opportunity to come over to him.
"The door was opened to pick up customers. The original owl shouted, and Orkus, who was half-crouching on the magnificent throne, raised his eyes and moved back to the book in his hand.
Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows, why are you so honest today?
He stepped down from the Throne of Bones and came to the boundary between the Sea of Blood and the Land of Bones, and his good eyesight allowed him to see the name of the book in Orkus's hand, and for a moment he was a little surprised.
"I thought you only favored ancient methods and ancient orders, why did you study this thing today. Moreover, I am more concerned about, where did you get it?" asked Yuan Xiao with his hands on his chest and curiosity.
"Knowledge is the greatest contribution that all intelligent beings can create. And for you humans, this is the only contribution. Orkus closed the "long day is coming to an end" in his hand and slowly stepped off the throne, "As for where you got it, it's naturally that Miss Ren." I'm not saying that when she's there, try not to come to me. β
"I've already investigated, she's asleep, and the 'arrogant' Guilty Sect's abilities don't sleep Arhat Fist. Yuan Xiao sat on the smooth pile of bones, and said an old stalk that was not easy to understand, but immediately realized something, and asked with some danger, "You came out while she was reading, and copied her book?"
Yuan Xiao remembers very well that it was two days ago, on her private jet, and she read this book "The Long Day Will End", and even the wear and tear of the book corners were exactly the same.
It's a very dangerous and troublesome thing to do.
"Your ability, unsealed?" Yuan Xiao slowly stood up, mobilized all his strength, and waited for Orkus's answer.
Although here he and Orkus are grasshoppers on a rope, and if they want to die, they will die together, but the original owl doesn't care, and the big demon of this level is exchanged for blood, and Orkus who has recovered his ability must not be allowed to get out alive.
"You're thinking about fart, if Lao Tzu's abilities are all restored, can you still stand and talk to me?" Orkus glanced at Yuan Xiao with disdain.
Yuan Xiao let out an "oh", his breath returned to calm, and he sat down again.
"Why do you believe me like that?" Orkus laughed angrily, how did he parasitize such a strange thing.
"Because you're telling the truth. Yuan Xiao replied seriously, "Now that I'm fine, it means that you are still a waste." β
"Don't worry, the first thing I did to restore my strength was to tear your mouth. Orkus smiled "kindly".
"Come on, come on. Yuan Xiao returned with a more "sunny" smile.
After a short silence, Orkus spoke first: "Come and ask about leveling?"
Leveling, naturally, refers to the all-round ability improvement strategy of the original owl proposed by Orkus before the start of this mission, and there is also a "leveling location" that is not explained.
"I'm very uncomfortable, I can't beat Jun Suo, it's okay, I will always be able to beat, his strength ceiling is like that. Yuan Xiao held up a finger, "But this girl is different, I know very clearly that she is still far, far from the finish line, which means that she will get stronger and stronger." But now alone, I'm three streets short of her, it's not good, absolutely not. β
"I can consider you and kill her at the cost of permanent damage to her abilities. Orkus whispered a sinister proposal, "And maybe the 'Golden Temple' can still plunder this ability, will you be tempted?"
"Not at all. Yuan Xiao immediately stopped the momentum of Orkus's continued speech, and raised three fingers, "One, although I am eager to surpass her, it does not mean that I will destroy her at all costs. Second, the more I listen to this work, the more it looks like helping you eradicate a big problem for you, and I can't do it anymore. Three, I like 'killing' very much, and I'm not going to replace it with a not-so-easy ability in the short term, thank you. β
"Cut, coward. Orkus scoffed, not at all like he had been poked in the heart.
"Don't delay the time, hurry up and talk about leveling, you want to break our contract?"
"The stinky boy has no patience at all. Orkus turned around and drew a picture, and a thick sea of blood rose up and turned into a map. One part of the map stood out, and Orkus pointed and said, "That's it, there will be a small seal crack in the past month, you can just block the monster farm in the past." β
The seal rift is the path for the demons to break through the seal, because of the randomness and uncertainty of their location, they cannot be monitored in a timely manner, which leads to many demons being unable to be found and executed in the first place.
