Su Xian pondered: "But in the end, everything is still in the stage of speculation, and we don't even know who created this fog. However, if we can read the direction in which panic flows through this fog, we may be able to find their location. ”

Professor Buck hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I might try." ”

Here it comes!

Su Xian looked at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

This man, if he is not forced to a certain extent, will always hide it.

In fact, this matter is far less urgent.

According to the little boy Al, when the dawn comes, he will fall into a deep sleep, and the three people in the castle will wake up naturally.

When the time comes, it is natural to ask for more information from the mouth of Carl Assas.

……

Professor Buck had no idea what Su Xian was thinking, he spun around in place and said, "I need some space." ”

It's not time, it's space, which is hinting at Su Xian's avoidance.

Su Xian understood what he meant, so he took two steps back slightly, and really made a little space: "Is it okay?" ”

Professor Barker's face darkened, and he silently picked up the lantern and walked into the fog himself.

Su Xian smiled, but this time he didn't follow.

Professor Buck found a tree a little farther away, then hung the lantern on a branch, crouched down behind the tree, found a stone from the surrounding area, and carved it on the spot.

While he was preparing, Su Xian once again snapped the gem ring, releasing spiritual fluctuations and triggering the spiritual power network in the paradise.

This time, his attention was focused on the spirit body at the very top, and he carefully observed it.

The appearance of this spirit body is exactly the same as that of Al, and there are also shadows that look like souls overlapping on it.

But this thing has no connection to Al's body.

The soul spirit body and the body are completely separated?

But the body has a complete sense of self?

This is obviously impossible.

"Could it be that there is a connection, but I can't see it? However, the mode of this mental network looks very similar to when I used 丌characters, could it be that this is also a field? ”

If this is an area, a relatively reasonable explanation can be found.

"Al's body and soul spirit body seem to be separated, but in fact they are still in one whole, but this whole expands from the body to the realm. Everything about him is within the realm of this realm, so it's not actually separated? ”

"Let's understand it this way! Do you always feel that your brain is not enough because you lack this knowledge? ”

Su Xian blinked, and thought of another place.

"And the walls of this paradise, if the people who were swallowed into the walls during this time were really within this wall, would they be alive or dead now? I guess I'm alive. After all, they're playing in this paradise in a rather peculiar way......"

"Also, could Al be behind this whole affair?"

Even though Al was only a six- or seven-year-old child, and had behaved unusually innocent in previous encounters, who knows if this was a disguise?

Su Xian didn't make a move on him for the time being, but only because his ability was too weird.

……

Behind the tree, Professor Buck had carved a slightly more complex formation on the ground.

He threw the stone away and reached out and placed his hand on a thin line at the edge of the array.

A black substance continued to flow out of its fingertips, flowing down this thin line into the array, gradually filling the entire array.

When the array is filled with black matter, the black light lights up, and the lines of the array surface emerge, forming a three-dimensional structure.

The height of the entire three-dimensional array is undulating, like a microcosm of the city overlooking from above.

In the center of this three-dimensional array, a hollow cylinder is formed.

Professor Buck lifted his hand and looked at the Guardian Ring on his finger, and though he was reluctant, he removed it from his finger.

Since he walked with Su Xian, he has obtained a total of two extraordinary items, namely this "inferior guardian ring" and another pendant to wear around his neck.

And now, he had to sacrifice one of them.

But not a sacrifice, but a "feeding"!

Choosing one of the two, he chose this "inferior guardian ring".

Then, he slowly placed the "inferior guardian ring" into the central cylinder of the three-dimensional array.

"Eat."

He whispered a word.

The three-dimensional array diagram suddenly stretched and deformed, turning into a hungry wolf-like head, and biting his entire arm in one bite!

His expression remained unchanged, and he let the wolf's head gnaw.

Eventually, the wolf's head retreated, his arm unscarred, but the "inferior Guardian Ring" he had put down was gone.

"I wonder if this ring can restore it to the point where it can sniff out the direction of flow?"

"Probably can, right? Originally, this was just an instinct, not a special ability. ”

After a moment of silent thought in his mind, Professor Buck shuddered and suddenly stood up, and then he shook the tip of his nose and turned his head to look around, apparently sniffing something.

Not "looking", but "smelling".

After completing this feeding, "it" recovered a little more.

Just a little bit.

……

Su Xian glanced at where Professor Buck was, stretched out his index finger and shook it, and the "Explorer's Eye" flew back and stopped on his fingertips.

"Looks like it's okay?"

He whispered silently, and picked up the lantern that had been placed on the ground.

Professor Buck just walked back.

"How?" Su Xian asked.

"Okay." The professor smiled, "I know where all that panic is going. ”

Su Xian said, "Then this time, it's your turn to lead the way." ”

Professor Buck said, "Absolutely. ”

……

It's like a dog can smell bones.

At this moment, the panic that flowed in the fog was no longer hidden in Professor Barker's "sense of smell".

But the price he paid for this is not as simple as it seems.

He's feeding a vicious beast, and if he's not careful, he'll be eaten to the bone!

If he could, he wouldn't want to feed it even a hair!

……

Under the leadership of Professor Barker, the two men went into action.

This time, the purpose was clearer than ever.

They first climbed over the walls of the paradise and then ran over the gray and misty streets.

It's not a straight line.

The direction of the panic in the gray fog was not a straight line, but a constant meandering.

Of course, the direction of the final flow is indeed the same.

Carl Toys, Gladstone Energy......

One building after another disappeared from behind them, and the two of them actually ran out of the range that Su Xian circled on the map!

"Stop for a moment!"

After running for more than half an hour, Professor Buck stopped.

Su Xian looked at the map and found that the two had run to the vicinity of the city prison.

The city's prison was built in a mining area, and the prisoners were always used as free miners.

But their destination was not prison.

"I've been able to locate it pretty much enough."

Professor Buck pointed in one direction.

"All the panic eventually came to that place."

In the foggy night, some light flickered in the distance.

That's the most important building facility in the whole city – the City Energy Furnace!

……

Su Xian couldn't help asking, "Are you sure it's there?" ”

Professor Buck nodded, "Pretty much sure." ”

Su Xian couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be that I was wrong from the beginning?" Could it be that this fog was caused by other transcendents, but the city guards of Brut City? ”

He realized that his mind had not yet broken free from the old environment.

The general environment of this world is completely different from the environment in which he lived in the past, and the meaning of the existence of the army is bound to be different.

The city guard of Brut City is an army that exists to maintain the status and power of the city lord, but it is not an army whose purpose is to protect the safety of the people.

To put it simply, the city guards are the private soldiers of the city lord!

At this point, many things have gradually come to the surface.

Why are all kinds of vicious incidents frequent, but the city's city guards are completely indifferent?

Because they are part of it!

……

"Now, it's really tricky......"

Su Xian asked, "Professor, do we want to continue?" ”

Professor Buck was silent for a moment, then said, "It depends on what you mean. ”

Su Xian took a deep breath, but suddenly smiled: "It's all here, how can there be any reason to quit?" ”

The professor gradually smiled: "That's what I said." ”

How could they have been really afraid?

……

After a short break, the two continued to run through the fog, and finally arrived near the city's energy furnace at two o'clock in the morning.

The city of Brut has something special about the city's energy furnace in that it is a spherical building as a whole, except that half of it is buried underground.

And it's not actually a product of modern industry, but an early alchemist of the era who recreated it from an item left over from the Age of the Gods.

No one knows what it was originally called.

All modern engineers can do is repair and modify their external mechanisms to a certain extent.

The circular wall that surrounds the energy furnace is actually connected to the energy furnace, but the connection part is buried deep underground, and it has been regarded as a wall since then.

This information is not even recorded in books.

Su Xian naturally had no way of knowing.

But the good thing is that Professor Barker knows.

As the two continued on their journey, Professor Buck told him what he knew.

Soon after, they were 100 meters away from the city's energy furnace.

Within 100 meters of the city's energy furnace is a large and deliberately leveled flat, in which there are no building facilities that can be used as shelters.

In this way, the sentry posts hidden in the fence can have an unobstructed view of the surrounding area, which is very effective in preventing people from entering.

But this arrangement lost its effect in the fog.

Even though Su Xian and Professor Buck walked within a hundred meters, no one noticed them.

"With a full eight arched entrances on the walls of the city's energy furnace, we have a lot of options."

Professor Buck smiled noncommittally.

"Are you going to invade from the front?"

He was originally joking, but Su Xian nodded very solemnly: "Then let's start from the front." ”

Professor Buck was stunned: "Are you crazy? ”

Su Xian said helplessly: "After a while, you will know." ”

……

He then summons the card album and pulls a card from it.

"No one can see me, as long as the dose is enough!"

- No.40 Invisibility Spray

——★★

——SR

- Item Cards

- Consumable, lasts 30 minutes

- Quantity: 10

……

With a flick of the card, Su Xian had an extra bottle of canned spray in his hand, and this bottle of "stealth spray" could be used 10 times, and each time the effect lasted for 30 minutes.

Professor Buck looked at him in astonishment, and he first sprayed himself with a dose.

After about three seconds of fading, Su Xian disappeared from Professor Barker's eyes.

"Can you see me? Professor. ”

Su Xian's voice came out of thin air in the air.

Professor Buck shook his head sluggishly, "You even have this kind of thing?" ”

"Haha." Su Xian smiled, "Want to experience it?" ”

Professor Buck said, "I understand the truth, but if I'm also invisible, how do you see me?" ”

Su Xian spread his hands and said, "To be honest, there is no way. So I recommend going separately. ”

Professor Buck immediately nodded, "Just what I want." What is the duration of this stealth? ”

Su Xian said; "30 minutes, that should be enough, right?"

Professor Barker: "Perhaps. ”

……

Originally, neither of them came here for the purpose of lifting the fog.

Being able to act separately now is actually right in the middle of the game.

But if you see through it, you can't say it, it's still a good friend.

……

After spraying Professor Buck with a dose of "stealth spray", Su Xian stopped speaking.

He didn't even move, he just stood there and waited.

The "invisibility spray" is invisibility, not the transformation of people, so walking in this dense fog will still show the outline.

He could clearly see Professor Buck walking farther and farther away, fading into the fog.

It wasn't until Professor Buck was gone that he got into action.

30 minutes of stealth time, no more, no less, but he still has eight doses, so there is no hurry.

Start with the Eye of the Explorer.

Slowly move forward.

He didn't deliberately choose another entrance, but simply followed Professor Buck, hanging from a distance.

He had feared that Professor Buck would be exposed to the fog, but the entrance was unguarded.

This is obviously unexpected.

When the two of them went inside, they both kept an eye on it.

After entering the entrance of the wall, the environment inside suddenly changed, the gray fog was sucked up, and the space five or six meters below was completely free of fog.

The unusually large urban energy furnace came into view.

Su Xian couldn't help but stop.

Between the city's energy furnace and the fence, rows of box-shaped buildings are built, but those buildings are only three stories high, far less tall than the energy furnace.

Looking up, the upper part of the energy furnace has countless square openings, densely packed.

The dense fog from outside is sucked in by one part of the opening, and then discharged from the other opening, and merges back into the fog.

And so on and so forth, and the dense fog continued.

And this scene also proves that this fog comes from this, the machine that created this fog, and even the energy furnace that is used as the core of the city!

According to the previous reasoning, the fog of "panic" is sucked into the energy furnace, and the panic in it is supposed to be absorbed.

Then, the dense fog of panic is discharged by the energy grate, and the panic continues to be collected.

"Perhaps, that's what the city's energy furnace really does?"

Su Xian frowned slightly, and manipulated the "Explorer's Eye" to drill into those box-shaped buildings.

And after a quick glance, he immediately knew why the entrance was unguarded.

Someone else invaded this place before they did!

"Is it a clown?"
