A011: First sight of the Soul Messenger
The black line forms a "tunnel" frame, which not only passes through the curtain high in the sky, but also has no end in sight.
"Is this the rhythm that is coming soon?" Wu Xiaowu's heart began to beat wildly again.
"Yes, Mr. Wu, the soul envoy's spirit boat is a mobile office, as long as the summoning password is issued, the surrounding Xuanxian will automatically form a channel, after the soul envoy leaves, you can use the password to restore the Xuanxian in the jurisdiction area to its original state, of course, it doesn't hurt to keep it in the changed state. ”
Only then did Wu Xiaowu understand that it turned out that in the dormitory corridor before, the disappeared Xuanxian was taken by the soul envoy to "reroute"!
Soon, he saw that in the Xuanxian Tunnel, there was a black spot in the extreme distance that was getting bigger, and after entering the Xuanxian Tunnel, Wu Xiaowu saw that it was the black shadow of a boat, heading straight for him from the high air above him. When he was almost in the last row of the apartment area, he saw that it was not the shadow of a ship, the so-called soul ship of the soul envoy - it was a pure black fog ship!
This is a Chinese-style canopy boat, and in the bow of the boat sits a soul envoy wearing a hat and a robe, whether it is the spirit boat as a whole or the "clothes" of the soul envoy, it is some kind of dark black substance that emits black mist. This gave Wu Xiaowu a strong illusion, it seemed that everything in the spirit world was like ink, and he even had a sentence in his head, "Fishing alone in the cold river and snow", even he felt strange.
When the Lingzhou approached the bedroom window, Wu Xiaowu also noticed a detail, although the Lingzhou was moving forward in mid-air automatically, there was a layer of transparent ripples on the surface of the channel below it that was in contact with the Xuanxian Tunnel, as if the water ripples formed an arrow floating towards him.
In the process of the soul envoy standing up, the spirit boat had not completely stopped, the square exit had already extended to the bedroom, Wu Xiaowu involuntarily stepped aside, looking at this posture, the spirit boat was going to drive into the room!
In the blink of an eye, the bow of the ship had passed through the windows and walls, leaving most of it in the air outside the second floor.
The soul envoy stretched out his left hand, and in the palm of the same pure black mist, there was a symbol of the soul scepter emitting golden light. The black hat was pressed so low that the face of the soul envoy could not be seen, and he said to Wu Xiaowu in a young male voice, "Check the scepter." "The voice is almost as anthropomorphic as the young tower, but full of majesty and coldness.
Wu Xiaowu stretched out his right hand according to the process he memorized, and saw that there was also a small icon of the soul scepter shining in his palm! The moment the two palms touched, Wu Xiaowu felt that the soul envoy's hand had no physical touch, just a repulsive force with a cold and cold air.
"Soul Refiner, what are your requests?" The soul envoy suddenly raised his head, Wu Xiaowu just withdrew his hand, and suddenly saw the strange face under the hat, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back!
It was a pure black outline of a human face, and the edges also exuded wisps of dynamic black mist, but in the middle of the silhouette seemed to be a black hole, and there was a strong sense of depth, as if a person's face was hollowed out, and a deep black channel appeared inside! There were no other organs on the face except for a pair of white eyes.
When Wu Xiaowu saw the soul envoy for the first time, he was inevitably frightened, and the young tower sent out a prompt sound.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" he stammered, quickly adjusting his state.
"Soul Refiner, what are your requests?" the soul envoy asked again, and his voice was the same as the one just now.
"I'm asking for a retrieval of psionic energy, I've just refined a new psionic energy here!" he gestured to the observatory's tabletop.
The Soul Envoy didn't look back and continued, "Soul Refiner, please submit the Psionic Energy Container. ”
Wu Xiaowu saw that the soul envoy was really N-P-C, and he couldn't deal with the way of thinking of a normal human being, so he rolled his eyes and kept a heart. He only gave one of the space-time orbs to the Soul Messenger. "That's it, please recycle it. ”
The soul envoy took the space-time sphere and threw it into his black hole monster face, Wu Xiaowu guessed that it might be the location of the mouth, but he didn't see the open mouth, and the pair of eyes that emitted white light didn't blink, just two white eyeballs that were "wrapped" by the darkness of the face.
"Soul Refiner, are you ending this negotiation?"
"It's over! There's nothing else to do, I'm sorry for you!"
"Soul Refiner, goodbye!" the Soul Envoy lowered his hat and sat down again, and the whole ship began to retreat.
On the ground under Wu Xiaowu's feet, strange transparent ripples reappeared, as if the air below the spirit boat was liquid.
"Sit down for a while and then go?" I want to ask for advice, if you ......" Before Wu Xiaowu finished speaking, the young tower made a prompt sound of water droplets, and he immediately stopped his mouth, seeing that the exit of the Xuanxian Passage retreated out of the window, and the spirit boat and the soul envoy also walked farther and farther until they disappeared.
The first successful contact with the Soul Envoy made him ecstatic, but unfortunately no one could share it, he ran over and kissed the mirror of the observatory, "Young Tower! Thank you! The Soul Envoy turned out to be like this! It's so cold! It's so stinging!"
Youta let out a girlish laugh, "Mr. Wu, please note next time that after the negotiation is over, the soul envoy will no longer pay attention to all your words and actions, unless you summon them again. ”
"Uh-huh! I didn't give it all to him just now, and he didn't say anything, so I should be fine with a few others to summon other spirit agents, right?"
"Absolutely, you're so smart!"
Wu Xiaowu was triumphant, and said to Youta stupidly: "Win the prize, pass the prize!"
He struck while the iron was hot, and summoned the other four spirit messengers in turn.
Later spirit boats and soul envoys were also in the same state of "black fog" or "ink", but their respective ships were very different, some were medieval sailboats, some were simple canoes, and some of the soul envoys of the multiple derivatives were actually in the shape of the Titanic.
At the same time, he also discovered that the eyes of the soul envoy were also blue, yellow, red and white, and only the one from the Recycling and Collection Department did not even have eyes.
The young tower said that the color of the eyes of the soul envoys of the different spirit departments was the same as the color of the main psionic energy applied by the institution to which they belonged, and that the last one who came was not without eyes, but that his eyes were pure black, so they could not be seen when they blended with their faces.
When each soul envoy came, due to the different sizes of the hull, the Xuanxian passage outside the window was also combined into different shapes and scales. After the last soul envoy left, leaving an octagonal passage, Wu Xiaowu used the password to restore the Xuanxian to its original position.
He stood by the window, looking at the night outside, smoking a cigarette and sipping a beer, sighing at the "designers" who did not know where, their familiarity with human civilization and the application of human cultural details. He desperately hopes to have more understanding and contact with this black technology world full of unknowns.
