Chapter 9: The Lamp of the Soul

After embarrassingly checking all the documents, Cheng Hai felt like he was about to explode.

"This stupid [beep! That's the kind of thing you do every day? ”

In a fit of breath, his chest suddenly tightened, and he coughed violently.

"This body ......"

Cheng Hai leaned against the wall and walked to the toilet with difficulty.

Fatigue and sickness crushed the young man.

Holding on to the washbasin and coughing, Cheng Hai opened an eye on his cheek - look.

"Is there a situation?"

Cheng Hai turned his head suspiciously, and a pale face was printed on the mirror in the bathroom.

The Forbidden Eye crawled onto his eyes, coinciding with his pupils. Following its prompts, Cheng Hai felt a force and used it.

The crystalline mirror ripples and dissolves rapidly from the center outward, revealing the space behind it.

"What did you do?" Cheng Hai asked in surprise.

The Forbidden Eye blinks and conveys the reason for the matter.

Its spirit devoured and devoured a part of the power of chaos, so that Cheng Hai could use this to crack the magic of the male witch and open up this hidden space.

"You can even devour the power of illusions?" Cheng Hai was amazed.

Forbidden Eyes Full of Pride - of course.

After carefully probing outside for a while, Cheng Hai walked into the hidden room.

As if sensing the arrival of their master, two magic oil lamps quietly lit up and floated in the air, emitting a strange light.

A messy workbench sits a mangled corpse, the species unrecognizable. The razor and tongs were mixed with blood, fermenting with an unpleasant smell.

A feeling of relief came from the forbidden eye, which made Cheng Hai frown.

This stench, perhaps, should be called chaos.

"Crappy wizard! Your spicy chicken silence technique was broken by me! ”

"Ahh!!h

Cheng Hai took a step back, slipped a dagger from his cuffs, and held it covertly.

In mid-air, two human faces grew out of the blue light. One of them was fierce and had an eye missing; The other man had a haggard face and sunken eyes, like a sick ghost.

Of course, the voice is still quite loud.

"Wait, you're not that crappy wizard?" The one-eyed man wondered.

Sick Ghost: "Ahhh!!h ”

"It's not."

Although there was some surprise, Cheng Hai was not surprised, he pointed to the sick ghost and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

The one-eyed man sighed, "The soul is ignited, and I can't die." ”

Sick Ghost: "Ahhh!!h ”

The one-eyed man said angrily: "It's been burned for so long, can you have a little backbone!" ”

The sick ghost said: "It hurts, ahh ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Cheng Hai asked.

When the wizard said that he was going to draw his soul as a wick, I am afraid that this is what he was referring to.

It seems that that guy, like the Lady of the Night, is also a master of words.

The one-eyed man thought for a while and said, "If I have to describe it, it probably hurts more than being bitten by a mosquito when I gave birth." ”

"You've had children?"

"Not really." The one-eyed man explained solemnly: "But I've pulled the egg, according to the rating on the Internet, the pain of giving birth to a child is almost twice as much, which is the conclusion drawn by analogy. ”

He paused, then added, "Of course, if you don't think it's rigorous, you can put your hand on it and try it." ”

"No need."

Cheng Hai immediately refused and asked, "I'm just curious, why don't you shout?" ”

"The more you call that wizard, the more excited and disgusting you become." The one-eyed man looked disgusted.

Cheng Hai made up for that scene and nodded in agreement.

The sick ghost doesn't have this consciousness anymore, and he still keeps "ahh

"Shut up, or I'll spare your life later." Cheng Hai squinted and said.

"Huh? Hum! Hum! ”

The sick ghost snorted twice, but stopped, and said in pain: "You, you mean, can you help me get free?" ”

Death is indeed a relief for them.

"Idiot! Don't you see this? This guy can crack the wizard's magic, and breaking that barrier is not a matter of minutes? The one-eyed man said disdainfully.

"How is this going to be done? I happened to come in, and I really don't know much about witchcraft. Cheng Hai said in a calm tone.

He doesn't keep his heart honest in front of strangers.

"Really?"

The one-eyed man smiled playfully and said, "This room needs a medium to open, and you can't enter without mana." Don't say you happened to break the mirror and the door opened. ”

"Connoisseur."

Cheng Hai smiled and took out a cigarette from his arms.

Witchcraft or something, of course he wouldn't. But when you are facing a prisoner, you don't need to reveal your old roots.

Misunderstanding, then let him misunderstand.

It would be best if he could not do it, after all, his current condition is extremely bad.

"Hahaha......"

The one-eyed man suddenly laughed, his expression gradually becoming hideous, "That crappy wizard, you won't die!" ”

I guessed it right.

"Why?" Cheng Hai raised his eyebrows.

"Although that guy is inferior, he is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke. You dare to smoke here, aren't you looking for death? "The one-eyed man looks like he is in his chest.

"Makes sense." Cheng Haimian said without changing his face, but he didn't mean to extinguish the cigarette butt.

"Give me some." The one-eyed man said suddenly.

Although Cheng Hai did not give a clear answer, his expression had relaxed a lot.

"Why don't you let you out first?" Cheng Hai was surprised and handed him the root.

"I only have a soul left, but I can't hold this thing, you blow it to me." The one-eyed man longed.

"I want it too, I want it too!" The sick man's eyes also gleamed.

"Poof! cough cough cough ......"

Cheng Hai almost didn't swallow half of the smoke he spit out.

How does that sound weird?

After thinking about it, the picture was not very beautiful, so Cheng Hai didn't blow it to them.

He took a shelf from the workbench beside him, placed three cigarettes on it like incense, and lit them one by one.

The pale gray smoke rose into the air, and the two souls were like evil ghosts who had not eaten for half a month, greedily inhaling the pungent smell of smoke.

"Shhh

The one-eyed man breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "I haven't felt anything other than burning in the fire, I haven't felt it for a long time!" ”

"Cool!" The sick ghost also chimed in.

Cheng Hai dragged a table and sat down, quietly looking at the two people who seemed to have fallen into a fairyland, and was silent for a long time.

"Say, what do you want to know? I'll tell you all. The one-eyed man said dryly.

"Why don't you ask who I am first?"

"Does it matter?"

"Okay. I asked, and you answered. Cheng Hai was not hypocritical, and said bluntly: "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a name or something. I'm a wizard, and the crappy wizard took me captive to extract my memories so that I could get my spells. That guy is an alchemist, and that's how he was caught. ”

"Second question, what are your intentions by cooperating with me so much?" Cheng Hai said indifferently.

Quite a bit, the meaning of the wicked sue first.

"Hehehe."

The one-eyed man was also happy, and said: "Nothing else, just help me break this formation, in exchange, I can tell you what good things the wizard has hidden here." ”

"What happens after the formation is broken? Are you reinstated? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Our souls are forcibly gathered, otherwise we would have been burned to the ground by this poisonous fire. As soon as this formation is dispersed, we will naturally disappear into this world. The one-eyed man looked sad.

"Really?" Cheng Hai narrowed his eyes.

The one-eyed man was an old fritter and easily guessed his concerns. If this kind of person is slippery, it is not so easy to distinguish.

Fortunately, the Forbidden Eye gave him the answer - the man was not lying.

It can see everything, including, of course, the little trick of polygraphs.

"Okay, deal."

Cheng Hai raised his head and said, "If you know how to solve this formation." ”

"It's not difficult, just burn those two things." The one-eyed man looked to the side.

Following his gaze, Cheng Hai saw two floating dolls. And in the perspective of the forbidden eye, there is a thin shroud over the outside of the puppet, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to open it by conventional means.

"Trigger Mission: Transcendent Spirit"

"Mission Goal: Destroy the Soul Candle and release two innocent souls."

"Mission difficulty: very low."

"Reward: Vision."

"Spiritual Vision: The ability to see the normal level of spirits, and to distinguish spirits that do not want to manifest."

"Hint: Novices should do more of this kind of unskilled task."

"Tsk! It's okay to refuse to communicate, and it's still so picky. Hearing the prompt in his ear, Cheng Hai was full of disgust.

For people like them, psionic vision is just a basic skill, and it can't be more than the forbidden eye with many functions.

However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, without this task, the one-eyed man's intelligence can save him a lot of effort, and Cheng Hai will not refuse.

He walked over to the doll and reached for it.

"Wait! This puppet is protected by spells, you must ......"

As the one-eyed man was talking, he saw an eye growing out of Cheng Hai's hand. Then, his palms became illusory, and he easily passed through the ban and took the doll down.

Forbidden Eyes, so easy to use!

"You did it!"

The one-eyed man's eyes were full of surprise, and the flames in his body trembled.

He knew that the man in front of him was not a simple person!

"Keep your promise." Cheng Hai's tone was slightly flat.

First attacking the Night Lady in the illusion, and then cracking the secret room and the puppet's technique, the consumption of the forbidden eye is really not small, and even he feels tired.

"Okay, listen to me."

The one-eyed man was interested, "There's a pencil in the box on the innermost workbench, pick it up, and then unscrew the second screw in the upper right corner of the tabletop and insert it with the pen." ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Hai did it suspiciously, and the wall on the left suddenly blurred, revealing a quaint bookshelf.

“……”

It is worthy of the people under the judge, and the organs that arrange spells are so down-to-earth.

"The fifth book in the third row of the bookshelf is a collation of the spell notes of a crappy wizard. In the bottom row, in the third box on the right, there are several pieces of parchment, all of which are relatively high-ranking witchcraft. The other collections are of little use, so if you are interested, you can turn them over by yourself. The one-eyed man continued.

Following his prompts, Cheng Hai got what he said.

Turning the first page of the note, you will be greeted by a series of rune formulas and structures, which are very complex.

"If this is not good in mathematics, physics and chemistry, it will look quite big." Cheng Hai sneered.

Fortunately, he is not a scumbag, and it is not impossible to interpret it after trying to learn some basic things and then scrutinizing them.

"Hey, it's your turn." The one-eyed man winked at the sick man.

The sick ghost hesitated a little, and said, "I have only been exposed to alchemy for a few years, and what I know is useless to him......"

"Alas......"

The one-eyed man sighed secretly, meaningfully.

Listening to the words of the two in his ears, Cheng Hai was not annoyed, and put the notes on the workbench.

In any case, the one-eyed man has fulfilled his promise, and now it's his turn.

He took out a lighter, lit a candle in front of the table, looked up, and said, "Do you have any other wishes?" ”

The air was suddenly quiet, and the faint lights flickered incessantly.

The expressions of the two people who looked at Cheng Hai gradually changed.
