Prey Chapter 32 - Study hard

Fate" is an ethereal thing, like "luck" and the like, and in most cases few people want to believe it. However, in some special circumstances, many people prefer to attribute their misfortunes to "fate" rather than trying to reflect on their internal causes.

It's like people who can't swipe their equipment or draw cards when playing a game, and preach the unlucky random number problem as a "bloodline" or "skin color theory".

Song Xiaocheng never believed in this set.

For example, he came to this point in his studies and career, which was his own choice back then. The encounter and relationship with Lin Yu is also thanks to his dead face. Now he has messed up the whole city again, although he has never told anyone about it, but Song Xiaocheng still blames himself little by little - because he forgot to turn off his mobile phone at that time, and as a result, he alarmed the group of zombies in the cemetery.

And not some "arrangement of fate".

Indeed, at that time, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to drop his phone, but when he thought that he still had hundreds of change in his mobile wallet, he persuaded himself. However, according to the current situation, first, he may no longer use any QR code or money in his future life;

So when Lin Yuneng sat next to him, rubbing his mobile phone like a person who had nothing to do, playing with something to eliminate candy, or reading the pre-stored in the mobile phone over and over again, Song Xiaocheng could only concentrate on reading - reading "Xinhua Dictionary".

In the small warehouse of the fire fortress, the scene of the two of them is in stark contrast to the outdoors. A young man in a ragged suit shouted that he would spend hundreds of millions of dollars in minutes, and the zombies who caused his losses could not afford to pay for his losses now; the one-sided hair could no longer cover the bald uncle, and complained with a melancholy face that his wife should not stop him from going to the children's lessons; the old skin spat Xingzi, telling the group of half-grown children who were willing to listen to his braggadocio about his awesome experience in the past two days; a few little fart children were full of indifferent faces, and the adults couldn't stand it for a while, so they chased me everywhere and made trouble in the yard, and they were as happy as usual。

In contrast, the cultists of the Flame Brotherhood were better able to adapt to this disaster.

Lin Yu didn't care so much. A few days ago, when Song Xiaocheng was away, he kept crying and making trouble, talking about something like the end of this life. Now that Song Xiaocheng has returned, as long as he can continue to stay by his side, there are not many other pursuits. Anyway, I usually lie on the bed and slide my phone when I'm idle at home, but now it's just a swiping phone on the floor, except for no WIFI, everything is as usual.

Others will probably think it is very funny when they see this scene - the girl leans on the boy's shoulder and slides the mobile phone, but the boy himself is holding a copy of the "Xinhua Dictionary" and reading it with relish - but it seems that there is no problem when you think about it, when you go to the toilet without a mobile phone, modern people who can even read the ingredient list of shampoo with relish, can read a "Xinhua Dictionary" in times of disaster, which is already a great luxury.

Of course, those who don't know will think so, but only Song Xiaocheng himself secretly admires - how did Huan Lingyu, this kid, perfectly bind such a thick pile of manuscripts—these hundreds of pages of "Faust Dreams"—into this small dictionary?

On the other hand, Song Xiaocheng also has his own arrangements. Now it seems that Gao He's head should not be able to count on it. In that case, the awesomeness that he blew with Hara Zhangsu yesterday - helping him kill that bald monster or something—I'm afraid he can only do it on his own. In this case, it is very necessary to sort out the ins and outs of this at this time and "study hard".

The manuscript in the dictionary is not signed, except for the opening page of "Faust's Dream", it is also clueless, and the collection is inexplicable, but after reading it carefully, the content in it can attract Song Xiaocheng's interest very much.

Igni—called a "charm" in the manuscript—should be the information that Huan Lingyu really wanted Song Xiaocheng to see. It mentions that the "Faust" charm can be written on paper, engraved on the ground, etc., or directly engraved on the human body to produce a more long-lasting and profound effect.

As for the spell "Igni", the manuscript mentions that "the first thing you learn can ignite...... Winter and summer are reversed, drought and flood are free, like a god", but it has the disadvantage of "not easy to condense and often escape". According to the notes, in an experiment, due to the phenomenon of escape, an Igney spark left a mark on a sow's buttocks, and the sow's ass spewed fire everywhere, burning its own shed.

The meaning expressed here is naturally easy for Song Xiaocheng to understand - if Igni's temperature control reaches a certain scale, it will have a greater impact on the wider environment, resulting in weather changes, including cold and heat, precipitation, and even fundamental changes in the regional climate, it is not impossible to use some imagination.

As for the "escape phenomenon", it may be that Yuan Zhangsu is the beneficiary of this phenomenon.

But what really aroused Song Xiaocheng's interest was a description of another kind of "spell".

“...... Hearing 'Centlus', the first time you see it, you can come back to life, cover the ears of the walking corpse, not a real living person. After Dacheng, the stubborn stone can spit out people's words, and the grass and trees will be uprooted and walk......"

This 'Centlus' sounds like a spell related to "life" or "activation" - the stubborn stones speak, the plants and trees walk, and they are probably brought to life by this charm. And "come back to life and cover the ears of the walking dead", isn't that the scene of the moment?

Song Xiaocheng narrowed his eyes, and a number of scenes flashed in his mind quickly-

"An unambitious old showman, claiming that he has been enlightened by the immortals, not only can draw talismans to suppress ghosts, but also has the art of resurrecting the dead......"

"Their souls are trapped by the power of evil......"

"That weirdo...... He's being forced by something......"

"There are more powerful people behind them......"

Several people who were originally unrelated were suddenly linked together in an instant-boiled, Huan Lingyu, bald weirdos, and Yuan Zhangsu.

If the bald monster and the original chapter sulfur were originally enemies - both because the original chapter sulfur accidentally stumbled into what the bald monster's side wanted to get - and were connected, then why did the braised boil say that day?

Yuan Zhangsu said that the bald weirdos must have been "forced by something" to find great runes, and Lu Zhuo also mentioned that "there are more powerful people behind them"; the old Xiucai mentioned in the information that Yuan Zhang Su got from the No. 67 Research Institute "can draw talismans to suppress ghosts, and has the art of resurrecting the dead", while Huan Lingyu explained in more detail about "bringing the dead back to life" in the book "Faustian Dreams" that Huan Lingyu handed over to him through Lu Boiling......

Could it be that there has been a connection between these two for a long time? Could it be that the author of "The Dream of Faust" is the "old Xiucai" who founded another cult several decades ago? If this is the case, then this manuscript probably says the same thing as the research materials in Research Institute No. 67.

However, if all the materials stolen by Yuan Zhangyu had been concentrated in his own room, then where did Huan Lingyu get this manuscript? What does he have to do with that old Xiucai?

Thinking of this, Song Xiaocheng suddenly shuddered again-

Since he can send this manuscript to his own hands, then Huan Lingyu must have read everything here, and what the manuscript says "resurrection from the dead, reversal of winter and summer", he must have ......

I'm afraid that Huan Lingyu already knew the content of the information in Research Institute No. 67. In other words, he already knew the legend of the so-called "Great Rune"!

Thinking of this, a terrible thought popped up in Song Xiaocheng's mind......

"Huan Lingyu is a duck?!"

"Huh, what?"

When Lin Yu raised his head and looked at Song Xiaocheng suspiciously, he realized that he had accidentally read it out loud and said some strange words.

"Oh, nothing ......"

If this is really the case, then Huan Lingyu is indeed carrying a lot of things.

But so what? Could it be that he would go to Huan Shao's house again and question him face to face? Since he hadn't revealed anything to himself in the morning, it would be useless to go back now.

Everything seems to be back to a few days ago: it seems that there are a lot of clues in front of you, and all kinds of phenomena are piling up, but you still can't know where to start. It's like a tightly wound yarn ball, as long as you disassemble the thread, you can explore the mystery, but you can't find where the thread is.

Thinking of this metaphor, Song Xiaocheng felt upset, like a messy ball of thread wrapped in his throat and eyes, and he couldn't wait to cut through the mess quickly - go directly to Huan Lingyu and ask for the truth, or directly crack the large pile of research materials and learn the mystery...... However, it is clearly unrealistic.

After thinking about it, it seems that the final thread still points to the same place as last time - the only person standing in the light, the bald weirdo.

According to the Flame Brotherhood guys, the corpse tide flocks to the southern war warehouses almost every hour or two, and the waves are more ferocious than the waves. It wasn't until Song Xiaocheng and the others joined that not only did the frequency of the attack weaken, but the intensity became smaller and smaller. Song Xiaocheng simply felt that it was probably the bald weirdo who was jealous of himself. But now that I think about it, I really had been a little too careless. So how can a bald freak be jealous of himself?

Thinking of this, my next move is already very clear-

In order to find out how far the opponent's strength has developed, in order to find out what kind of opponent he is facing, even if it is just to not sit still, Song Xiaocheng must go to the cemetery of Qinglong Plateau again. Degree of literature
