Section 58 Harvest and Finish
About a third of the demon's head had melted, and what remained on the ground was not so much a skull as a pile of black solid, and the inside of this solid was spongy, a bit like char but it looked heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info but you can see a little bit of other colors in it.
A conspicuous-looking red stone?
"This is the heart of the demon...... Something that is hard to come by...... As far as I know, this kind of thing does not appear after the evil spirit is destroyed, and it should be under the influence of the laws of the earth's stability that causes this effect. ”
"Core?"
As he spoke, the part that encased the core had melted away, and the core had been half-detached from the wreckage, and it was now clearly visible as a small red stone. For some reason, this red color is instinctively reminiscent of evil eyes.
"Pick it up, partner!" the master urged. Lu Wu stepped forward and gently removed the core from the wreckage. In the process, his fingers touched the remains of the evil spirit, which felt like a rough, cold stone.
Now, this core stone is in Lu Wu's hands.
The stone itself looks very ordinary, it is only the size of two fingernails, and its shape is irregular, similar in appearance to the small stones commonly found on the river beach. It has a dark red hue and appears to glow at first glance (possibly due to the influence of the evil eye), but a closer look reveals that it is not clear. On the contrary, it looks unremarkable, and no one even looks at it when it is thrown on the side of the road.
But when you put it in the palm of your hand, you can feel it pulsate slightly.
"Amazing stuff...... It's all about the laws of the world...... Accidentally...... And Uncle Ben, my joint efforts......" the master said in a dreamy tone.
"What's the use of this thing?"
"Partner, can't you feel the vibrations of the magic? This core stone is the source of the demonic power...... A steady stream of magic is flowing out of it......"
"Magic?" Lu Wu immediately thought of what the master said before--in fact, magic is very simple and can be used by everyone, the only problem is that ordinary humans don't have magic power.
"That...... By virtue of it...... Can I use magic?"
"Of course not. The master ruthlessly interrupted Lu Wu's fantasy. "For human beings, only one's own magic can be used, but other people's magic cannot. If other people's magic can be manipulated at will, then it is impossible for the warlocks to attack each other with magic!"
"That'...... Master, something suddenly occurred to me...... Even if you were an artificial soul, you wouldn't have learned Chinese in an instant, would you?"
"Hmm...... The ......" master's voice was a little nervous, and when he heard this voice, he instinctively felt that the speaker was sweating profusely and making up words in his stomach. It's like a primary school student who didn't do his homework but was caught by a teacher, or a government official who was chased and beaten by a reporter when he asked about politics on TV. "Actually......"
"You read my mind, right?"
"Hahaha...... was actually discovered by his partner...... That's true, but I didn't really care about that kind of little thing......"
"Reading thoughts can have serious consequences, right?"
“…… This, partner...... At that time, didn't there happen to be a lot of magic power in the broken sword that I relied on...... Besides, I'm not like those warlocks, and I'm more than a notch higher than them in terms of how much energy I manipulate. So I will never have sequelae when I read my mind...... At that time, it wasn't for the convenience of communication, and if you didn't understand the language, you couldn't explain a lot of things clearly, did you...... In a word...... Boss, I was wrong! I admit my mistake, I apologize......"
"What can you do with this red stone?"
"It can be used to charge your phone!" the master immediately gave a good explanation. "Uncle Ben, I can convert magic into electricity, as long as I carry it with me, I will never be afraid of running out of battery on my phone from now on. ”
Lu Wu thought of Amber's Holoera, Amber was able to convert electricity into magic, but now the master was the other way around. It's a bit of a pity, but it's ......
"Are you hiding something from me?" Lu Wu asked.
"Ah, that, partner, it doesn't seem that the illusion enchantment has disappeared yet, but don't worry, the evil spirit is dead, and the enchantment has no source of power, and it will disappear soon. Just be patient. The master answered the question. "By the way, this stone should be preserved...... Wrap it in duct tape, but don't throw it away. It should be a treasure that is unique to the whole earth."
“…… Although, it can only charge the phone. ”
The surroundings are indeed changing, and the whole world of illusions is gradually blurring, at first as if a person is wearing a pair of frosted glass glasses. The illusion is getting weaker and weaker, and the real component is getting more and more. But later, the interweaving of the two worlds is not so much a process of gradual transformation as a process of tearing a curtain open. Just like the appearance of a spatial rift, the real world is seen through the rift first. The original "Abyss Illusion World" became less and less, and the whole process lasted about ten minutes or more, and the world returned to reality.
Lu Wu stood in the old dock area with no one at his feet, with a concrete floor under his feet and rows of containers beside him. In the distance there was a mine shaped like an iron box, and in the near distance was the demonic pistol and a few bullet boxes. The evil spirit, which had been standing in front of him like a living person, had now left only a few smudges on the ground. The smudge on the head of the demon was slightly thicker.
The bright afternoon sun was shining on the entire dock, and after coming into contact with the sun, Lu Wu suddenly felt a sharp pain sweeping through his body. Before he knew it, he was lying on the ground and was vomiting profusely, everything in his stomach pouring out.
After a few minutes, Lu Wu could barely stand up. But a weakness in his feet made him sit on the ground, leaning against the container and gasping for breath.
That's the power of the pistol before.
Speaking of which, I have been hit by a pistol bullet more than once before. Although the body armor borrowed from J was able to withstand the bullet itself and prevent the body from penetrating the bullet, the huge impact force was not able to be resisted by any body armor. I was able to do so much exercise under this kind of injury before, probably thanks to the illusion enchantment, and some of the sensations in my body (including pain) were blocked under the effect of illusion.
"Partner, how's it going?"
"It hurts...... It hurts...... "After resting for a long time, Lu Wu was able to barely support his body, take staggering steps, pack up his things, and walk towards the core of the original illusion enchantment again.
"Partner, look over there!" the master reminded him, Lu Wu looked up and saw a person lying next to the container in front of him. "It's the policeman. ”
It was Li Ze who was lying on the ground. I don't know what he's been through the illusion, but now he's lying on his side, his eyes closed, his face pale, and he looks completely unconscious, his right hand still holding his pistol.
"Partner...... We were lucky because we never got lost...... Once you get lost in the illusion, that's the end. The master said in the headphones.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Wu didn't know anything about first aid, so he didn't know what to do at all.
"I've seen situations like this. This is when man is trapped in an illusion and loses the all-important normal sense of time, or that his sense of time is replaced by a time that is virtualized by illusion...... So although the time has actually only passed for an hour, it has been a long time for him, about ten days. I suspect that there should be no major danger in the hallucinatory world he has fallen into, but the mere absence of food and drink for so long is enough to cause serious harm to a person. ”
"But he wasn't really hungry. Lu Wu still didn't understand.
"Partner, this is magic...... There is no why. As long as your mind accepts the fact that illusion is imposed on you, everything will happen. It's like your hands......"
Lu Wu's hand had touched the incompletely solidified magma in the illusion before—although he had only touched it and immediately moved away—but now a whole row of blisters had grown from the place where it had been touched, as if his hand had really been burned.
"Human beings are no more disembodied than me, and the combination of spirit and body is a very mysterious thing. Therefore, although illusion magic is not real, it cannot be regarded as completely illusory. Not to mention hunger, thirst, high temperatures, etc., if you are killed in the illusion, there is a high chance of dying in reality. ”
"What about this...... Is he in danger?"
"Don't worry, he's fine. He must have been unconscious from hunger and thirst, and he would wake up on his own after a while. The illusion has been shattered...... Hunger and thirst are the easiest injuries to recover. But on the other hand, it is also the most terrible injury, because there is no solution...... Let's hurry up and go to the center, I don't know what's wrong with that little warlock?"
The old docklands are not a big place. After eliminating the interference of illusions, even with Lu Wu's now weak foot strength, he quickly came to the original central area.
In the world of illusions, it is a metal platform suspended above the abyss. In reality, this is just a slightly higher platform - it is probably the platform formed by the uneven terrain in the beginning, which is only five or six steps different from the outside.
In the middle of the platform is the cube that glows white as seen in the world of illusions...... Now Lu Wu can clearly tell that it is actually just a metal box.
In reality, it wasn't very big, it didn't glow, it wasn't suspended in the air, it just lay quietly on the concrete floor.
The box is made of a bright white metal, but it doesn't have the cold texture of metal to the touch, but rather resembles wood. There is no gap visible around the entire box, but there is a red bump on the side that looks like a switch.
"I know this, no matter what Uncle Ben said, he has also been in the warlock world for a long time. Just press the switch. ”
Lu Wu reached out and pressed the switch.
In the next moment, a blue-white light burst through the air like lightning. The irresistible tremendous force rushed from the front, like a wave rolling up a straw, throwing Lu Wu's body backwards.
