Chapter 35 Aftermath of the Stronghold and the Campus
In a secluded park in Luohai City, the giant tree that no one cares about still stands where it has been growing, without any change. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a sudden noise in the giant tree, and the bark of a tree at the waist of the tree suddenly shrank inward, and a petite figure jumped out of it.
"I didn't expect it to be noon, and the time flies so fast. Alice landed smoothly, looked up at the sun overhead, and was surprised to find that she had slept at this time, but this was normal, after all, she had worked overnight and completed a big project.
Alice looked at the giant tree in front of her and nodded with satisfaction, there is a stronghold that is different, and the feeling of insecurity is immediately much smaller.
Alice looked around and saw that the whole woods were not as bright as expected, and they still had the same eerie feeling.
It stands to reason that a place that can raise such a big tree, not to mention the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, at least should be well-lit and comfortable.
In the previous life, she and her roommates were reluctant to approach this forest because the atmosphere here was not good, and it was not suitable for dinner.
I thought that after the ghost entrenched here disappeared, I thought that the environment here should be better, but now it seems that this is not the meaning at all.
"I've eliminated the garbage ghosts here, and it looks like something else is responsible. ”
In her mind, the miscellaneous fish ghosts entrenched in the woods should be the culprits that make this place look eerie, but now that the ghost group has been completely wiped out, this is naturally not the case.
"Is the problem with the puppet that popped up yesterday? By the way, I broke it and threw it there, forgetting to put it away. Alice suddenly remembered yesterday's puppet, this thing is not the same as ghosts, it is also visible to ordinary people.
The weapons they carry, the unusually sophisticated parts, even if they are not rotten, do not make people think of the kind of abandoned dolls that can be seen everywhere, and they will definitely arouse the interest of those who find them, and maybe there will be some unpredictable consequences, so that the forest will lose its original secrets.
"Yes, it's still there. Alice rushed to the place where the fight had taken place yesterday, and saw the puppet from a distance.
The puppet's energy was destroyed by Alice, and it still looks like it was scratched last night, and it doesn't look like it's been noticed by passers-by.
"It's good that I haven't been discovered, I don't want anything to happen in such a good place. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, it had taken her all night to build a stronghold, and she didn't want to let her hard work go to waste because of a moment of negligence.
"Then throw it into the space ring first, such a puppet may be of some use in the future. It didn't take much thought for Alice to make this decision, the energy used by the puppet is not magic, it consumes "soul", although Alice does not know whether this drive method is rare, but the delicate parts of the puppet have aroused Alice's interest, and she does not want to destroy it until she finds out whether this thing is real garbage or not.
Alice was the same when she played the game in her previous life, and if she found an item for unknown reasons, she wouldn't give it up until she got clear information.
And as a non-RMB player who never spends money to top up, even if she learns that the things are really worthless, she will still stuff them into her backpack until she can't stuff anything else in her backpack, and even her teammates who were on her team at the time complained about this girl's ability to sweep the floor.
"Huh?" Just as Alice was about to start collecting things, she suddenly felt a very faint energy fluctuation on the remains of the puppet in front of her.
This fluctuation is not the same as magic power, nor is it the same as the power of the soul, but more similar to the power used by the old man who attacked Alice when he first arrived on Earth.
"This thing is really... Alice remembered the resurgence of this thing last night, but expected that this thing would not move much after being left out overnight, and probably there would be no problem, and besides, the fluctuations were negligible, and a different person might not be able to feel it.
The wreckage is a wreckage after all, and the puppet with a big hole in the chest can no longer turn over any wind and waves, and faithfully perform the work of a wreck.
It didn't take long for Alice to determine the source of the fluctuation, reaching into the hole in the puppet's chest and grabbing a wooden gear the size of her current palm.
"What the hell is this. Alice took the gear in her hand and looked at it closely.
This gear is obviously different from the other parts, it is engraved with unknown symbols, among which the most central symbol is the most prominent, and the most complex, the other symbols are like guards around it in a circle, and the faint energy fluctuation that Alice felt just now is from the symbol in the center of the gear.
The whole gear is a system of its own, and the symbol in a circle gathers power from the air for the symbol in the center to use.
"This thing isn't what makes this forest so gloomy. "The fluctuations emitted by this thing are too small, and it can't change the environment of an area on a large scale by the basis of magic, but this thing may also be the key to triggering something, after all, this thing is not magic, and what effect it has is not something that can be known by guessing.
Alice wasn't sure of her speculation, as she wasn't a professional appraiser and couldn't give a definitive answer to the role of the symbol.
But Alice still hopes that this forest can remain the same as it is, and no one will disturb the "hidden" life that she originally expected.
In this case, although it is possible that this forest was originally so virtuous, if you want to keep this place as it is, then avoid unnecessary changes.
Alice tossed the gear in her hand into her treehouse and collected the remaining wreckage into her spatial ring.
The rest of the golem's wreckage was unusual, and Alice felt that leaving the only thing different would at least keep the woods in their current state.
As for why he didn't find out when he was fighting last night, it may be because the fluctuations emitted by the soul flame were much more violent than this part, so Alice subconsciously ignored it.
"Anyway, this dress is really uncomfortable now, light and fluttering, so I have to find a chance to change it quickly. Alice turned her attention away from the treehouse and looked down at her own costume.
Now she is still wearing the clothes brought out of the Juyue family, which is very much in line with Alice's current identity as a girl. But in Alice's opinion, it was completely different.
Not to mention that this outfit is uncomfortable to wear, Alice has no cosmicity, and she doesn't want to walk around in this feminine outfit all the time.
Appearing in public in this kind of clothing is tantamount to a public execution for her, who has a man's heart.
Yesterday at the four meals of nostalgia for the past, shame was forgotten, and now I feel uncomfortable in retrospect.
At the beginning, it was just Juyue's house, Juyue was her benefactor, and there was no one else in the entire villa, in order not to make her behavior seem so strange and cause unnecessary misunderstanding of Juyue, she would always wear this outfit.
Besides, she didn't have any other clothes at that time, and she had no choice but to wear it like that, so she couldn't wear nothing.
However, as the saying goes, "a penny is hard for a hero", and for her, who is penniless and has no income, it is difficult to get a set of clothes that match her interests in this city where money is circulating.
For Alice, who has thought that "the public stuff is my stuff", she now has an urge to find a bank to rob, with her strength, not to mention making the staff tremble and hold their heads to load money, even the underground vault will be smashed to you every minute.
But after thinking about it, she still forgot it, this matter is too big, maybe if she is not careful, she will attract the old man at that time, and it will be worth the loss to put her life on it for a set of equipment that suits her.
"There's no way, then bear with it for the time being... Huh?" Just as Alice was thinking about how to get money unobtrusively as a child laborer, she suddenly spotted a seated figure in the bushes not far away.
"People?"
Alice was taken aback, the figure in the bushes did not emit a trace of breath, it was completely integrated with the surrounding environment, if it weren't for the strong eyesight of the demons, she really wouldn't have been able to find out.
"Hmm. The black magic power rose, turning into sturdy armor, and stared at the figure opposite in full armor. The other party can deceive her perception, and if that person is a killer, she is likely to be in danger.
However, what puzzled Alice was that after waiting for a long time, she didn't see any movement of the figure in the bushes, and still sat there motionless.
There's no way, since the other party doesn't move, he can only go over and see for himself. Alice held her breath and moved closer to the figure.
However, when Alice got closer to the figure, she realized that the figure that made her nerves was actually a dried corpse.
No wonder she couldn't feel anything, the dried corpses were already in the background, and there was still any breath, and Alice blamed herself for being too nervous.
This place is still a murderous place for ordinary people or low-powered people, and it is not surprising that someone is unlucky enough to strayed here, and it is estimated that this guy who has turned into a dry corpse has been counted as a missing person by the Public Security Bureau.
"What, a dried corpse, it scares me. "I've died once, and I'm still afraid of any corpse, and besides, I wasn't in vain in the mountains behind the Demon King City. The magic armor was reduced to magical power, turning into a burst of black gas and dissipating into the air.
Now it seems that the reason why he and his roommates are okay is because the ghosts in the woods only react to those who have power or are hostile.
It is obviously abnormal for a ghost who is a "natural disaster" to have this kind of consciousness, but it can only be blamed on the puppet for this reason.
This corpse can die here, and such a death is likely due to the relationship between the ghosts in the woods, and it is estimated that it is not a good type.
Even so, this person can be regarded as hanging at the door of Alice's house, and Alice, who has already regarded herself as a landlord, naturally can't leave this thing alone.
However, if you call the police, it will definitely become the scene of the crime, and a large number of people will pour in, not to mention concealment, it is estimated that they will catch up with the vegetable market.
But it doesn't work if you leave it alone, not to mention that it may be discovered, but it is not discovered, and it is strange to be placed here.
Alice decided to just find a random place to bury it, anyway, this guy has become a dry corpse, and it is estimated that no one will come to find it.
The corpse was dressed in a peculiar way, very different from the average citizen, and his entire body was wrapped in a black coat made of unknown material, and even the clothes under the coat were all black.
Alice felt that this person must have been some kind of enthusiast in his life, otherwise ordinary people would not have this kind of equipment.
"Anyway, these things are outside the body, buddy, you don't need them now, I'll bury you and help you settle in the ground, just give me this thing as a reward." Alice looked at the clothes on the corpse, and suddenly liked such a set of clothes, and after saying a few words of persuasion to the corpse, she stripped the corpse of the corpse in three strokes and divided by two.
But it's not a fine light, Alice is still very kind to protect the dignity of this unlucky guy, and left him a ** and a vest, saying that this guy really likes black, ** and the vest are also black.
In a short time, the pit had already been dug, and Alice threw the dried corpse into the big hole that had been dug and finished the work.
The unlucky guy didn't carry anything to prove his identity, except for the clothes on his body, and there was only a wallet with a lot of memory, but this didn't make a difference to Alice, as long as she could get what she wanted.
However, this dress obviously doesn't fit Alice now, but it's not a problem.
Alice participated in the two-month training camp in the royal city, and it was inevitable that there would be damage to her clothes during the battle, and there was no spare material at that time, so she could only sew by herself, although the sewing work was largely done by Ariel, but during this period, Alice's tailoring skills were still trained, so she was still very good at this kind of fine work.
"It's really a no-brainer. "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and the clothing problem that originally gave her a bit of a headache was solved.
Since the unlucky guy is tall, Alice used the fabric to make a new set according to the style of the original training clothes, and Alice turned around in her newly changed clothes, looked back and forth, and did not feel anything unusual.
She didn't change her close-fitting clothes, after all, the clothes were taken off the corpse, and she always felt that something was wrong.
She also threw away the clothes she had changed into immediately, and Alice received them in the space ring.
"Let's go to school today, it's like a relay. Alice draped her black coat over her body and looked back at the university campus full of memories.
―――――――― Alice on her way――――――――
Alice looked at the school gate and suddenly had a very strange feeling.
The whole street is very calm and functioning normally, the broken street lights have long been repaired, the smashed floor tiles have been replaced, not to mention the blood that flowed at that time, it has long been cleaned.
Alice felt very uncomfortable in her heart at this moment, and the magic in her body was surging restlessly.
His death left nothing, did not bring the slightest change to the world, just like a pebble thrown into the sea, without even a little wave.
"The only people who are affected may be their parents and relatives. Alice watched silently at the place where she had lost her life, trying to calm the tingling in her heart, but it always felt like something was useless.
Although she felt sorry for her parents in her previous life, it was the only proof that Alice could feel that she had ever existed.
"Whew. Alice took a few deep breaths, suppressed the extreme unhappiness in her heart, and walked towards the school gate.
The gate of the university in the previous life was not strict, and the guards were basically in a laissez-faire state, so Alice entered the gate without much effort.
The cafeteria, the gymnasium, the library, Alice had traveled to all the places where she had left her footprints in her previous life, and with her current footsteps, this distance was completely difficult for her.
"Whew. Alice sat quietly in a corner of the school's large playground, clasped her hands and knees, quietly looking at the freshmen who were training on the playground.
Their school military training was relatively early, and they were very picky, and Alice still wanted to touch the gun or something in her previous life, but she didn't touch it in the end.
It doesn't look like I'm as strong as I imagined, and I thought it would be a very peaceful journey, but I was so embarrassed.
"All of you, sit down and rest. Alice heard the instructor's orders from a distance, which reminded her of her own instructor.
The instructor was about the same age as them, and he could talk to them very well, and there were a lot of interesting things that happened outside of training, which made Alice feel a little heavi.
"Huh, is the club recruiting?" A small group of people suddenly appeared on the playground, except for a few leaders, the rest of the team members were wearing special clothes and dressed up as popular anime characters.
"We are from the school's animation club, and everyone is welcome to sign up for the club, boy, on the signboard. One of the leading women stepped out of the line and introduced her club to the slumped freshmen.
"It's Li Lingxi, I didn't expect this female man to become so fond of club activities. Alice had already recognized Li Lingxi when she stood up, after all, she had seen her last night, and she had only been hanging for a few months, this bastard had become so lively, but this girl was alive and well.
Hearing Li Lingxi's call, a masked team member standing behind her lifted the signboard and held it in his arms to show it to the freshmen.
Although the freshmen feel very new about the costumes of the anime club, they still seem to be lacking in interest in joining the club.
"I told you earlier, don't hold it like this, you have to raise it above your head, so that everyone can see your sincerity, and others will join the club. The persuasion of this phalanx obviously failed, Li Lingxi reprimanded the masked player, and the other party could only scratch his head helplessly. Li Lingxi sighed and said no more.
"Forget it, next time you must lift it well, Zhang Cheng, let's go to the next phalanx. ”
"Okay, definitely. ”
The masked team member replied helplessly.
"Zhang Cheng... And the voice of the "mask"... The familiar name, the familiar voice, this made Alice have a bad premonition in her heart.
Alice stood up in an instant, her pupils activating in an instant, and the face hidden by the mask instantly appeared on her eyelids.
Her golden eyes shrank to the extreme, and Alice seemed to become a wooden man at this moment, forgetting how to act.
"That's 。。。。。。 Me!"
