"Get out of here quickly." I shouted to the bell knight standing in the doorway. I decided not to touch her for the time being.
Unfortunately, the thing didn't seem to want us to leave, and when she saw the bell rider running out, she immediately followed. One by one, we almost ran out for our lives, but the green female ghost followed, and what was even more depressing was that she could actually pass through the wall.
I urged the bell knight who was running in front to hurry up, but suddenly there was a scream in front of me, and the bell knight fell back again. The hallway in the actual area of the base is so wide that it's not very safe for us twenty-nine people to be crammed into a heap.
"What's going on?" I asked unhappily.
"There's it too!" The bell knight in front replied in a panic.
"What?" I quickly squeezed through, only to be taken aback. Although the female ghost in the back is in a strange situation, she is humanoid anyway, and she is a relatively beautiful woman, but because the color shown on the eyepiece is green, and her expression is dull and lifeless, it looks very scary. But compared to this one, the one behind is simply a harmless crowd. The guy in front of him is a man, and his appearance is completely unclear. Half of his face was missing, and the remaining half could be seen with a large number of upturned pieces of flesh, and one of his eyes still dangling outside. The same is true of the guy's hands, his left hand is completely skeletal claws, but his right hand is still a human hand. Looking down again, he saw a large hole in his stomach, and a pile of internal organs hung out in a mess, dragging all the way to the ground. It's still a long stretch behind him.
"Oh my God! What is this? β
Ling trembled and said, "No matter what it is, I don't want them to get any closer. β
Jingjing suddenly said: "Protective shield, we can make a protective shield, try to see if we can block the ground." β
"You're a genius!"
Vina and Chili turned to both sides at the same time. Each uses magnetic force to build a strong magnetic barrier in the channel. The two unidentified creatures were still approaching us, and almost at the same time they collided with the shield. Unlike when we were bounced off after hitting the shield, a burst of blue electric sparks flashed from where the two goblins touched, and then each of us felt the two monsters scream. It wasn't actually a real sound, but a reaction caused by the brainwave bursts of the two monsters. Just now, these two guys' obviously faint and almost non-fluctuating current induction actually became so strong the moment they hit the protective shield.
The monster seemed to have been severely injured by the protective shield, and the goblin, which looked like a rotten zombie, began to fade gradually after screaming, and finally disappeared. We turned the eyepiece many bands in a row, but we couldn't see the guy anymore. Vina focused on looking for the guy's mental fluctuations again, but there was no trace of it. The female ghost on the other side also became significantly lighter after being hit by the protective shield, but she didn't disappear. It's just that the mental fluctuations have become weaker.
"The shield has a powerful damage effect on them." Vena made a judgment in an instant.
"I see." I command the peppers. "Put a magnetic barrier all around her, get her to the high-energy physics room, I want to know what the hell this is."
There's nothing to be afraid of if you can get caught. Since the shield hurt her so badly, it should be that she was afraid of us. The female ghost could obviously see the protective shield, and after using the protective shield to surround her, she directly threatened her to follow us and move with her, and she was sent to the high-energy physics area very smoothly. The researchers quickly created dozens of these dungeons, modeled after our magnetic field principles, which had no walls in the usual sense. It is only with a strong magnetic field that constitutes the boundary. Although this magnetic field can't block bullets like a protective shield, trapping this female ghost is not a problem at all. As for why dozens of such cells were built, it was because we actually encountered dozens of such things on the way to send female ghosts. There's something like this all over the base. It can be said that it is everywhere. No one had ever found anything like this in the base before, and this was the first time we had known about it. After learning that they could be observed with more eyepieces, the researchers in the base began a large search of the whole base, and once they found it, they asked us to arrest it, which made us even more scared.
After the researchers' search, they found that there was no place in the entire base from the entrance to the bottom floor that did not have such a thing, and three or four thousand were caught before and after, and there were even scattered arrests. In the end, there weren't even enough cells, so we simply built a few large cells and put the goblins in together.
During the search, we found that the ghosts in the base were not only humans, but also a large number of monkeys or dogs, and even the ghosts of mice, of course. The biochemical creatures and ghosts of the real yΓ n are also stored in zΓ i, but there are mainly more human beings. Some of these ghosts are exactly like people, some of them are like rotten zombies, and some of them are monsters that only appear in nightmares, and people are not like humans and ghosts.
After the process of grasping and patching, we have summarized some common characteristics of these things. First of all, they can't get close to strong currents and magnetic fields, otherwise they will be severely harmed, and as long as the damage reaches a certain level, they will completely disappear like the male ghost at the beginning. Secondly, these things can pass through walls, but the speed drops very tightly when passing through walls, and they cannot move as fast as they do in the air. They don't seem to be completely nihilistic, at least the air currents and waving objects can destroy their integrity, but they slowly recover over time, with little practical value.
When all these guys in the base were caught and locked up in the magnetic field wall, a lot of researchers had gathered here, and even people from non-related departments had come here. The reason why people care so much about this is because it is likely to upset our existing body of knowledge. We have received a materialistic education since childhood, but the terms to which these things point are so unquestionable. These things themselves do not have fixed physical characteristics, eshusky. Net hands can't touch it. The eye can't see either. Moves, can pass through walls, and is aggressive.
Taken together, these characteristics are very similar to the ghosts of folklore. However, ghosts in our knowledge system should be something that does not exist zΓ i.
We were worried there, and a person suddenly squeezed over and pointed to a ghost behind a magnetic wall in surprise and shouted: "Luo Peng? "All the people on our side hula, all turned their heads to look at the man.
"You know him?" I walked over in surprise and asked.
"Of course." The gray-haired old researcher said excitedly, "He is my former director of the real yΓ n room. β
"What? This ...... "I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to call it. Although the supervisor felt like a ghost, he was not sure. "This unidentified creature used to be someone from our base?"
The E researcher nodded and said, "His name is Luo Peng, and he is from the Microbiology Research Department like me." β
"What is your current position in that book?" There are so many researchers on the base, and I can't know every single one.
"I'm now the head of the Microbiology Research Department."
"Where did that Luo Peng you said go?"
"At that time, we were working together on a new type of cyanobacteria, but a novice knocked over the biostripper cylinder, and as a result, the cylinder valve hit the corner of the instrument and the stripper leaked. Luo Peng went up to tighten the valve by himself in order to protect us, but he himself was exposed to an excessive amount of stripping agent that caused a large area of cell death throughout the body, and he was not rescued in the end. β
Vina said suspiciously: "What kind of cylinder opens as soon as it hits?" β
The old research supervisor said: "That was more than 30 years ago, and at that time, the shutter cylinder was still used, and there was no electronic insurance. β
I frowned and didn't ask, "That means this Luo Peng has been dead for more than thirty years?" β
The old research director nodded. "It's been thirty-four years. I go to the cemetery every year. β
Ling pointed to the ghost behind the magnetic wall: "Then what is this?" β
The old research director shook his head: "That's why I'm so surprised." Luo Peng has been dead for more than 30 years. I remember this very well. But this ......! He was exactly the same as Luo Peng when he died. That one...... Vice President, do you think this is ......? β
I know what he means if he doesn't say it, and the people around me know it too. Everyone is skeptical. This is really a legendary ghost.
Xiao Chun was more intelligent, and shouted at the top of his head. "Sister Nuwa, can you find out this person's information?"
The projector in the interior of the room was instantly activated, and a three-dimensional image of a man was projected in front of us, with a large number of personnel information next to the image. Nuwa's voice rang out at the same time: "Luo Peng does have this person." Both death records and work records are detailed. From the three-dimensional image, the unidentified object you have caught is a person. But I can't understand why people who have been dead for more than thirty years can still appear in this form. β
Huang Zhongdao, director of the High Energy Physics Research Department, said: "The appearance of the statue cannot be concluded to be his own soul!" These things have no physical form, and it shouldn't be difficult to simulate what other people and animals look like, and there's a strange problem you may not have noticed. β
"What's the problem?"
"They all have clothes."
"So what?"
Huang Zhong said very solemnly: "Even if people really have souls. And after death, the soul will become a ghost and wander around, but clothes are not a part of the human body, why do ghosts wear clothes? β
"This ......!"
Not to mention, this seemingly ordinary question really gets to the point. Why are they all clothed? Clothes should not be a part of the body, even if a person can become a ghost after death, it should be smooth!
Huang Zhong suddenly said again: "Don't care what these things are, let's see if they have attack power first." β
"Yes." I immediately said to Nuwa: "Eldest sister, hurry up and help us send two real yΓ n bodies over, right?" β
"Coming soon."
A few minutes later, eight guards appeared in the real yΓ n district with two death row prisoners, who were looking around in fear when they were brought in. They should have been shot a long time ago. It is clear that there must be a special reason for living until now. The sudden sight of so many of us summoning them in such a strange room made these two instinctively feel dangerous.
After the guards dropped me off, I was asked to sign a document for the record, and then I left. One of the prisoners was locked up by Scott first. The other was handcuffed and shackled.
I pointed to one of the magnetic walls: "Go there and stand." β
"What are you going to do with me?" The man asked nervously.
"Don't ask so much, just go over and stand." I accentuated my tone.
The prisoner hesitated and walked in. We all had goggles with us, but none of the prisoners were. He couldn't see the ghosts, so he wasn't afraid of them. As soon as he entered. The ghosts of the earth began to approach him. In our observer, we can clearly see the ghost sticking to the man's side, and then reaching out and punching the prisoner in the chest.
The prisoner couldn't see the ghosts, he just thought it was strange that so many of us were staring at him with strange glasses together. However, he suddenly felt that the muscles in his chest were uncomfortable, and he felt a cramp, so he reached out and rubbed it twice, and then turned his shoulder again.
"Do you feel something?" Huang Zhong asked suddenly.
"Feelings?" The prisoner looked around. "What does it feel?"
"Your chest, the spot you kneaded just now."
"Here?" The prisoner was puzzled, but he answered our questions anyway. "I suddenly felt a muscle cramp just now, but now it's better. What's wrong? β
Huang Zhong ignored him. Just said to us: "The attack power is basically zero, and it seems that it is completely harmless to the human body." β
Vina said: "I don't think it's harmless, but the attack power is too weak." β
Ling suddenly said, "I don't know if you feel it. It didn't seem like the body of this person he had just attacked. It's his biomagnetic field. β
I nodded and said, "In other words, this kind of thing can use its body to send out something similar to a mental attack." β
Nuwa's voice suddenly continued: "The human body's ground control signal is to use biological current, so if a person really has a soul, it should appear in the form of a magnetic field or an electric field." In this way, if these things are not good, they are really the soul of people. β
Vina laughed: "Haha, the world's most cutting-edge computer actually says that there are ghosts in this world. It's ironic. β
Nuwa said with a little displeasure: "My love control module only accounts for less than one percent of the operation module. My thoughts are absolutely objective. Now it's not my speculation, but the facts have emerged. The answer just now is indeed speculative, but the probability of speculation is as high as 98 percent. The minimum standard for drawing accurate conclusions has been exceeded. β
Huang Zhong took a notebook and said while recording: "This situation just now should be considered as a means of attack. However, this prisoner did not provoke him, so it should be that he took the initiative to attack, which should be an offensive characteristic in his nature. If it's just a cramp in the muscles, it shouldn't be a very strong injury, but you look at the energy level readings. β
I scanned the energy level reading in the upper right corner of the eyepiece and saw that the number seemed to have gotten bigger. "He's absorbing energy?" I was amazed to say it.
"And the speed of absorption is not low!" Huang Zhong pointed inside.
We found that the ghost had started attacking the prisoner again, and the prisoner was standing there, always unconsciously rubbing here and scratching there occasionally. It seemed to him that some parts of his body were uncomfortable from time to time, so he wanted to rub it, but what we saw was completely different. Every time the ghost in our eyepiece attacked him somewhere, he immediately rubbed that spot. And more and more often. At the same time, the ghost's energy level continued to increase, and his translucent figure became clearer and clearer, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
The prisoner felt strange that a group of us were looking at him like this, and couldn't help but scream. "What the hell are you *** doing? Lao Tzu is not gay, is there something wrong with so many of you staring at me? β
We didn't bother to pay attention to him, and we still watched the ghosts attack him one by one. Nuwa suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that people often see ghosts on rainy nights. So I have a little hypothesis, should I try it? β
"What inference?"
"Just look at it."
Under Nuwa's command, an electrostatic discharge device was pushed into the space, and the air conditioner in the room began to increase the humidity of the air. After that, we were asked to change into insulated shoes and even the sight glasses were asked to be removed. Nuwa's voice said: "On a rainy day, there is a large amount of water vapor in the air, and the current in the thunder and lightning will inevitably radiate outward through the water vapor, and the intensity of the current will inevitably decrease after the refraction of multiple layers of water vapor. In an environment with water, there are a large number of active electrons, after which oxygen is ionized into negative ions. This is the case when the concentration of charged negative ions reaches a certain ratio. β
As Nuwa's last voice ended, the static generator in the room suddenly activated, and then the transparent and strong magnetic space that was originally used to hold these ghosts suddenly lit up, and those magnetic walls were directly seen by our naked eyes as if they were real. Normally, these are just magnetic fields and should not be seen by the naked eye. But now they are bright. Even weirder is yet to come. As the indoor lighting gradually dimmed, the ghosts who were originally locked in the magnetic wall actually appeared.
"Ah......h The long, rather burly condemned man burst out of the wall with a scream. It's as fast as lightning. "Ghost ...... Hell...... "This guy was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Nuwa reappeared with an obvious playful voice. "Sure enough, I guessed right."
"What's going on?" Vena asked.
"It's simple." Nuwa replied, "These ghosts are the same thing as the magnetic wall we used to seal them, they are semi-matter with energy attributes. Its properties are similar to those of photons that make up light, and they have both energy and material properties. Because these things are semi-material, they don't reflect or emit light, so naturally we can't see them. But when the number of free electrons in the air increases, the electrons collide with their energy bodies. The phenomenon of electron flare-up occurs. What we're seeing now isn't actually the light they reflect or emit themselves, but the flash of light from the electrons that hit them, but because the electrons are dense. So a luminous surface is formed, which just outlines them. However, the light from the electron impact is dim and cannot be seen when the external light source is sufficient. β
One researcher said: "No wonder, the ghosts of the legend all appear in dark places, and they basically appear only on cloudy and rainy days, because they can only be seen in this environment." β
Another researcher added: "In ancient times, there were many ghosts, but in modern times there are significantly fewer of them, probably because the lights in the city are so bright that they can't be seen at all." β
Nuwa said: "The two of you are only half right. From what we know, strong electromagnetic fields can destroy these ghosts. High-voltage power lines in modern society, radar waves emitted by radar, electromagnetic radiation from microwave ovens, and strong electric fields near high-power infinite relay stations. These things should all be fatal to ghosts. So not only is there less dark environment where you can see them, but the number of ghosts themselves should also drop dramatically. Even the strong magnetic interference caused by the solar wind is very dangerous to them, so these ghosts cannot stay in the world forever, otherwise the world would have been crowded with ghosts for so many deaths. Another point is that it seems that not everyone will form these ghosts after death, and their formation should also be required by the specific environment of the existence zΓ i. And I have already calculated that a highly concentrated mind at the time of death should be one of the important conditions for the formation of ghosts, so there is a saying that unjust ghosts are borne, because those people are unwilling to die, and their minds are more active when they die, and the electric field strength is high, so it is easier to form ghosts. However, the legend is clearly processed. At least there should be no such thing as revenge for the soul. β
"How do you know?"
"If you want revenge, you must at least remember who the enemy is, right? These ghosts have been captured for so long, and I have observed that they seem to have only basic biological instincts, knowing the resources necessary to avoid damage and obtain the resources necessary for survival, but not the higher wisdom tables. As for attacking humans, it seems that it is purely for the purpose of obtaining the replenishment of the bioelectric field, not really because of who they have a grudge with. Besides, even if there is a vengeance, they don't remember, and it is impossible to take revenge. β
"That's right."
The study of the formation principle and some characteristics of these ghosts will not be over for a while, but since there are no security issues, I don't have to watch from the sidelines. Huang Zhong took over the research project with full authority. I'm bringing the demon pets back online, and the task that can break the suppression of divine power hasn't been completed yet!
After going online, I reopened the reel and looked at it carefully. The content on the reels is as simple as it gets. There are only three things written under the title: quest content hints, restriction requirements, and completion rewards.
The reward for completion is to receive a Divine Power Gem, which can be set on any item to obtain the ability to remove the restriction of divine power. However, the loss of the item will be transferred at the same time as the divine power of the guide. However, I have system rewards, and as long as I don't throw them away or trade them on purpose, I won't drop items, so don't worry about that. The reels also mention that there are some uncertain prizes during the mission, but they don't go into details, just saying that there are some random prizes, and they don't say what they are.
There is only one restriction, which is that only one player can complete the mission. That is, it doesn't matter who finishes it, but only one person can go. eshuskyγ .net added that the player on the quest can participate in the minions they own, but they may not hire other types of NPCs to help.
The quest content is to find the Divine Power Gem mentioned in the reward, but the quest hint is only one sentence. "Those in the know are frozen under the eternal Brilliant Capital."
This hint is really vague and a bit exaggerated. Basically, there is not much difference between having and not having it. I analyzed it with the demon pets for a long time, but I guessed that the task prompt was to ask us to go to a place called the Eternal Bright Royal Capital to find an insider, this person should know where this gem is or he knows the next clue, anyway, we must find this person first. But there are also problems. I don't even know where that king is. So I don't even know how to get started.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't remember where I had seen this royal capital. But "Zero's game system arranges tasks according to the player's experience, so the scroll says so, then I should have encountered or heard of this place, otherwise the system would not give such a task." But I can't remember when I've ever seen or heard of such a place. There is really no way to mobilize everyone's power in the future, and the more than 100,000 members of the guild plus tens of millions of NPCs should always be informed.
I sent a message asking for help directly from the guild information release system. Then I asked the leaders of the NPCs in each department to come over and help me ask questions one level at a time. I don't believe that so many people don't know where the damn city is.
Not to mention, I really found an insider two hours later, and it was really red. I pulled the real red and asked excitedly, "Where the hell is that place?" β
Zhenhong said with some hesitation: "Actually, I haven't heard of this place either. But I think there's probably a place that you're looking for. β
"Where is it?"
Zhenhong didn't answer and asked: "Is it so ruthless that we passed by the Big Snow Mountain last time we came back from India?" (Appears in Book 9, Chapter 126)
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"I fell under the ice, and then we found a city made of ice, do you still have an impression?"
As soon as I said that, I immediately remembered. "You said that there are a lot of ice monsters, a Chinese-style city made entirely of ice, right? I remember we didn't walk in because we were in a hurry, didn't we? β
"yes, that's the place."
"How do you know that this is the Eternal Bright Capital?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it's probably there. Your quest hints that the person in the know is frozen in the city, then there is a good chance that the city is in a very cold place, and it is unlikely that the person will be frozen alone in a very cold room. Other than that. The Eternal Bright King is probably not a name but an adjective. Eternity means that it takes a long time, and I have the impression that only the whole thing can be preserved for a long time if it is frozen in its entirety. As for the brilliance, it is likely to describe the city itself as beautiful. The city we saw at the time was carved out of ice, so I guess it fits perfectly into the sparkling standard. As for whether it is the royal capital or not, it is difficult to say, after all, the prompt is too vague. β
"Didn't I expect you to become smarter too!" I smiled and said, "Okay." Anyway, there's no more useful news right now, so I'll go over there and take a look first. If there is new and more accurate information about the royal capital, you can ask Rose to contact me with the Ring of Love. β
"Okay."
Now that you know your destination, it's easy to do. Say hello to Rose, tell her that I won't be back to the guild in the meantime, and then use the teleportation ring to teleport directly to the nearest city to the Himalayas, and then ride the Nightshade towards the frozen city.
To be honest, although I have been to that city once, it seems that it is not much different from not being there. The mountains above the snow line are like deserts, and there are simply no suitable surface references. The white peaks all looked about the same length, and I couldn't figure out where I found the ice cave last time, so I could only wander around the general area. As a result, I didn't feel anything, and Nightshadow was upset first.
"Master, do you know what we're looking for?"
"I know. We're looking for a big snow ditch, but it all looks the same! β
"I'm afraid that's not the way we can find it, right?"
"Do you have a better way?"
