160 The work of the keepers
Catherine, who is full of sadness in her heart, makes it difficult for the Demon King to interpret her thinking. In other words, the Demon King had no way of knowing what Catherine was thinking.
"Oh, it seems like something happened. The Demon King couldn't help but think, "Is she facing that library keeper?" ”
Although it is impossible to know the specific situation, His Majesty the Demon King has not stopped. No matter how difficult the library keeper is, he is just a guard, and the Demon King doesn't think he will be afraid of such a small role.
God's storehouse is actually a very monotonous place. Perhaps those who are new to this place will be shocked by the countless crystal balls that line their heads. But after a long stroll here, the sight of nothing changes can be maddening. No matter which direction you go, what you can see will always be the same. There seems to be no end to this dull boredom, as if walking in a dark passage with no end and no end, and there will never be a day.
Fortunately, the Demon King is not a simple person, he can at least observe the differences in each crystal ball, and will not be driven crazy by the unchanged scenes. The king of hell admired as he walked. He was so excited that he would occasionally stop in front of a crystal ball to watch.
The Demon King was not worried about Catherine's safety, and in his opinion, as long as the female mage was still in a sad mood, she was certainly not threatened by her life. He needed time to look more and learn more about these wonderful crystal balls. This method of creating a soul illusion has not yet been exposed to him.
As the clock ticks by, the Demon King is like a curious visitor to a museum, and he can't afford to miss out on every excellent exhibit.
Suddenly, His Majesty the Demon King stood still under a crystal ball. He looked up at the crystal ball and flew with his wings flapped. He flew to the height of the crystal ball and watched it intently.
The scenery in this crystal ball is far richer than the crystal ball that the Demon King has seen before. It shows a human city. There are streets, buildings. Lifelike, except that there are no inhabitants in the city. It's a dead city, a silent dead city.
The Demon King's eyes widened. Search every nook and cranny of the city. He found a plaza with a tall bronze statue standing in the center. The Demon King's eyes grew bigger and bigger. The scene in the crystal ball also became clearer and clearer the more you looked.
"It's a statue of the Grey Eagle King, no wonder this city is familiar. This is the royal city of Daxter. The Demon King sighed in his heart. His gaze swept over the streets that connected the square and extended in all directions, and finally found a lonely figure on the "avenue of study" leading to the Royal Academy.
The figure was frivolous and stumbling, like a traveler who had been adrift for many years. Finally returned to his hometown.
The Demon King touched his chin and looked at this figure, and he thought: Interesting, the level of creation of this soul illusion is far higher than what he has seen before. I've found Catherine now. But where is the keeper?
The Demon King simply sat down on the crystal ball, wondering if he was going to let Catherine out and ask what was going on. It's just that I don't know where the library keepers are hiding, and it seems a bit reckless to do so.
The King of Hell weighed the pros and cons, but he didn't notice a pair of lifeless eyes emerging from the darkness behind him. The eyes stared at the Demon King for a while, and then suddenly rushed out and swallowed the rabbit sitting on the crystal ball into his mouth.
It turned out to be a black monster fish with a wide forehead and a wide mouth. Its fish head occupies two-thirds of its entire body. The lower body is a flat fishtail. It was bare, without a single fish scale, and its pectoral fins were thin and long, like streamers. However, its dorsal fin resembles a sail, sometimes spreading and sometimes retracting, and when fully extended, it is larger than its body.
In fact, it is difficult to say whether this monster is a fish or not, because its head is more like a flattened human face. If you look closely. You can also find the nose and ears.
Strange fish swim in the dark, and their dorsal fins are always full of wind. It cruises above the crystal ball, swallowing a floating crystal ball somewhere in the warehouse.
After a while, it swam back to the place where the Devourer King was. At the edge of the crystal ball where Catherine was imprisoned, he spat out a black orb. The strange fish carefully rubbed the ball with its pectoral fins until it became crystal clear and shiny. Satisfied, it placed its newfound crystal ball beside Catherine, and swam into the darkness.
There was nothing in the newly made crystal ball, except for a rabbit standing in a daze at the center of the ball. The dumbfounded rabbit raised his head, and he rolled his eyes and took a step forward. The rabbit immediately walked to the edge of the crystal, and he reached out his paw to tap the crystal ball.
"Click, click" cracks suddenly appeared on the crystal ball, and quickly spread to the entire sphere like a spider web. The rabbit laughed twice, and with a slight stomp of his foot, the crystal ball shattered. The rabbit fell out of the crystal ball and grew in the air instantly. When he fell to the ground, he looked up to see that the crystal ball that had imprisoned him was suspended there intact again.
"It's interesting. The rabbit sat cross-legged on the ground and thought to himself, "This soul illusion turned out to be based on the captive's own memories. If I consciously close my memory, nothing will change at all. ”
"But Catherine's illusion is obviously more complicated than the other crystal balls, what is the reason?" the rabbit thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "She may not resist at all, she has opened her consciousness. ”
The rabbit suddenly stood up from the ground, "We must find the library keeper and experiment again." He jumped and slammed onto a crystal ball and sat down.
The rabbit closed its eyes and began to sleep. After a while, the lifeless eyes appeared behind him. The Ku keeper stared at the rabbit like a hunting panther, slowly approached him and swallowed the rabbit in one gulp.
The Keeper who had eaten the rabbit dived into the darkness, and soon it returned again, spitting out a new orb. Wipe, hang, leave, just like something that was sent before.
The rabbit was imprisoned again. This time, a small volcano appeared inside the crystal ball. The volcano hovers in the center of the crystal ball and erupts all the time. The surging magma flows down the mountain and then from the edge of the volcano back to the bottom. This cycle will make the eruption endless.
The rabbit sits on a fiery red round lava that is held above the crater by the constant spewing of magma. He observed the illusory world and was pleased with the results of his experiments.
