Chapter 445: Consciousness Ball
At the moment when the crystal merged into Lin Yulin's body, outside the drifting island, Lu Jishun opened his eyes suddenly.
"Brother!"
Lu Jiyao was beside his bedside, staring at the blood contract and feeling the fluctuation of energy, and when he saw him sit up as if he was awake, he responded warmly: "What's wrong?" Having a nightmare? ”
"It's not. I can't sense the crystals of Drifting Island. The strange wave of energy was gone. Lu Jishun frowned.
Lu Jiyao was shocked in his heart, what he was worried about had happened.
Lu Jishun couldn't guide the direction anymore, and the induction on the contract became weaker and weaker with the passage of time.
He reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't there still this blood contract?" ”
Fortunately, the location of the Drifting Island is not far away.
As Lu Jishun woke up, the direction of the blood contract did not change again, but the speed at which the induction disappeared suddenly accelerated, and the color of the blood stains gradually turned dark red.
This makes one wonder if something has happened to the owner of this blood.
Lu Jiyao was so anxious that he woke up the people who traveled with him one by one, and gathered together to explain that Lu Jishun suddenly lost his sense of the crystal and that there was a problem with the blood contract.
The ship continued to move forward, and only then did the group realize that there was fog in front of them for some reason.
The crowd in the cabin looked at each other, which was beyond their expectations.
"What happened? Why is it foggy all of a sudden? Lu Jiyao asked the few Kekchi people who were traveling with him.
They looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes, and the slightly older man said, "We don't know either." ”
The climate of Huayu is warm and humid all year round, because it is by the sea, it rarely fogs, and even if there is fog, it will be blown away by the wind.
But this time, what wrapped their small yacht was like a substantial fog.
Unless specially trained, it is difficult for a layman to have visibility of more than three hundred meters in such dense fog.
Fortunately, there are people in the Kekchi tribe who have visual enhancement abilities, who travel back and forth between Huayu and Drifting Island all year round, and have a lot of experience with the dense fog at sea.
Originally, the ship was equipped with an electronic compass to discern directions, but since the fog, the electronic compass seems to have been disturbed, and the displayed direction is constantly beating and changing, which is no longer reliable.
The Kekchi seemed to have expected this, and the old man pulled out a compass that had been used in ancient times.
This kind of compass is made according to the polarity of the earth's magnetic field, and the north-south direction indicated by this compass is different from the true north-south direction, and there is a magnetic declination.
But experienced sailors can always correct the problem of magnetic declination quickly.
"We're going in the wrong direction." The man said.
When Li Yue heard this, he immediately followed the man's instructions, corrected the direction, continued to move forward, and slowly returned to the original channel.
But the fog never went away.
The night sky, which was originally sparsely moonlit, has also become foggy, and people can't help but wonder if they are in reality.
"Ahh The old Kekchi let out a burst of exclamation, causing Lu Jiyao to withdraw his gaze from the window and look at him instead.
"What happened?"
"The compass doesn't move." As he spoke, he violently dismantled the compass, and nothing was jamming the pointer, just a stronger and more stable magnetic field.
"Alas! I can't stand it anymore! What's going on this trip?! Li Yue couldn't help it, since he left the port and set off, it seemed that bad news had been coming out constantly.
Who isn't irritable? But the most important thing now is to discern the direction.
Otherwise, they will all be trapped in this thick fog, not to mention finding Drifting Island and rescuing Lin Yulin and Louis before the Holy Day.
"Rest easy. Let's wait until dawn! By the time the sun rises in the morning, the fog may have lifted. ”
Although Lu Jiyao said this himself, he was not sure in his heart.
But in this case, we can only try to stabilize everyone.
Lu Jiyao asked everyone to continue to rest, but left Zhou Wu to discuss.
That being said, the others simply don't feel sleepy, and it's destined to be a sleepless night.
"What, you're in a hurry?" Zhou Wu showed his figure, he looked calmer, and he still had the heart to tease Lu Jiyao.
"If it were Zhou Ding, would you still be so leisurely?" Lu Jiyao is not a character who is willing to suffer, unless that person is Lin Yulin.
Zhou Wu's face was stunned for a while, and then his face became a little abnormal.
Originally, he thought he was hiding it well, after all, Zhou Ding never had any suspicions, and only regarded him as a good brother.
It's no wonder that after the previous Huami exchange meeting, when he approached Lin Yulin again, Lu Jiyao behaved much calmer!
Zhou Wu coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Cough, don't talk about this." We're clearly trapped now. What are you going to do if the fog doesn't clear after dawn, or if it doesn't light anymore? ”
"If the fog doesn't disperse at dawn, there is something wrong with the fog. If it doesn't dawn anymore, we may have entered the waters near Drift Island, and we may have broken into the barrier set by Mirpa. ”
Lu Jiyao analyzed, and after speaking, he sighed, "If this is really the case, don't worry." Ji Shun's abilities and I can both devour and destroy this illusion. ”
"My concern is that these are naturally occurring and that it doesn't matter if we devour more. Human power is vulnerable to nature's shenanigans. ”
Zhou Wu felt that he was a little too nervous and lost his normal judgment of the situation.
"Don't worry about it. Think more about the third dream that Lian Dao Chang said, speaking of which, you are not in that dream, and the most dangerous thing is you, right? ”
"Speaking of which, you take this." Lu Jiyao took out a sphere, which was the most exquisite "work" that Professor Chen could make in the shortest possible time.
"What is this?" Zhou Wu has always been by Tang Yang's side, so he is not particularly clear about Professor Chen's research, only that it is about the study of consciousness bodies.
"This is the consciousness ball that temporarily stores one's consciousness. I have another one here. Lu Jiyao took out another identical sphere and explained to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu frowned and said, "No, what's the use of this thing?" Could it be that when the flesh is damaged, it is stored in this sphere? And then what? ”
"When the time comes, if Yulin's body is seriously damaged, you will press this switch and store her consciousness in the consciousness ball first. The body and consciousness were taken away separately so that she would not be in pain. ”
There is also a reason for Lu Jiyao's preparation, it is precisely because of that second prophetic dream that he believes that the Kekchi clan on Drifting Island is very likely to carry out living sacrifices.
According to the Kekchi patriarch, living sacrifices were generally made by burning the offerings directly with fire.
