Luo Ling stood there quietly at first, and then he began to pace back and forth, very slowly, like an extremely tired traveler.

Bao Xi also showed her quiet side, no longer speaking, and no longer using body movements to highlight her charm, and even, now she looks a little cold, especially the eyes. She understood that Luo Ling was thinking and making choices. And his decision, for her, has a far-reaching impact.

Finally, Luo Ling stood still and breathed deeply, as if the air in the water was particularly sweet. Then, he raised his head. Beyond the water, the sunlight is refracted into the clear water, and the light is as beautiful as a dream.

"The underwater world is so beautiful and intoxicating." Luo Ling's voice was calm and slightly low, and his gaze slowly moved to Bao Xi's body. "You're also beautiful, weird and sexy, unforgettable."

Bao Xi smiled charmingly, "You say this, are you willing to pay the price I said and sign the contract?" ”

"Praise is sometimes a sign of distance. So the truth, I'm rejecting your offer. Luo Ling's expression was serious and calm, and at this moment, there was no hesitation in his heart.

Bao Xi couldn't laugh anymore, she really didn't expect Luo Ling to refuse, and there was no room for reversal if she refused. "Ah...... It was unexpected! Bao Xi said almost with a sigh.

"In fact, I myself was amazed at how brave I was to say no."

Bao Xi looked at Luo Ling, as if admiring a constantly changing light, her eyes were shining, as if they were reflected by this light, but in fact, it was a manifestation of many emotional factors such as curiosity and surprise in her heart. "I remember not so long ago, you claimed to know yourself very well."

"yes. I remember saying that, too. Luo Ling's tone seemed to have fallen to Bao Xi's position, questioning himself. "In order to survive, to be strong," he said, "I am ruthless, I have no regard for life, I have no regard for fame, I have a scoff at the notion of sympathy, pity, and I will gladly accept anything that can be used for my own benefit." Why would such a person give up a huge benefit at his fingertips? In particular, in the process of obtaining benefits, you can also enjoy unprecedented fragrance stimulation and pleasure. The woman in front of her is not comparable to those 'vases'. She is shrewd, capable, has a deep background, and has extraordinary strength, which can make you want to die at night, and your right-hand man during the day, God! It's a near-perfect choice. ”

For the first time, Bao Xi cooled down in front of Luo Ling, revealing her cold side. Even the voice of the voice had the smell of ice chips: "But you still rejected me in the end, after thinking about it for less than five minutes." ”

"Well, that's a bit sloppy."

"Are you teasing me?" With Bao Xi's words, the cold began to spread in the water, and anyone could feel that an avalanche was brewing in Bao Xi's heart. A strong person of her rank is not a servant who can be insulted and abused arbitrarily, especially in a serious and sincere state, even if it is a lord, she has to give a few thin faces.

"Teasing?" Luo Ling was still in the same tone as before, and he didn't seem to notice that the witch on the other side was brewing anger. "Think about it, Miss Baoxi, have you ever seen me joking around in trading?"

"So, you are not stupid, you are not crazy, you are not joking, and you agree with the value of this contract, why should you refuse? Give me a reason. "Now Bao Xi looks like a female leopard whose head will pounce on her at any moment.

"In the last five minutes, I remembered my past." Luo Ling's expression revealed a faint sense of remembrance, and that feeling of precipitation did not match his age. If there is another cigarette to match, I believe that at this moment, he will be more like a middle-aged man who is writing a memoir.

"I had 22 years of ordinary experience, like most of my peers. Growing up in an era of change where everything is changing day by day, there is no faith, and the mind is unconsciously stuffed with a lot of information, a little rebellious, a little precocious, a little decadent. ”

"Then, one day, I started to grow as if I had drunk a magic potion. Turned into a warrior, a demon warrior. Speaking of this, Luo Ling froze.

"And then?" Bao Xi felt that she was about to be mad by this man, and she went around for a long time, what is this talking about?

"You also feel like something is missing? I feel that way too. It's not just the answer to you that's missing, it's my life. You say, a child, he wears a military uniform, kills several people with the gun in his hand, and gets wounded a few times, does he become a complete soldier? Luo Ling asked.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The anger was almost written on Bao Xi's face.

"Miss Baoxi, where is your calmness and wisdom? Have you listened carefully and thought carefully? ”

"Can you give a clear reason for this and then elaborate further?" Bao Xi's patience is close to the limit.

"Actually, I've already said the answer. 4 years is not enough for a person to become a demon completely, just like you can't become a real person in a short period of time as a witch. No matter how bad I am, I still have a human soul, and this state will accompany me for at least a hundred years. You can't expect a person to approach things completely with a demonic mindset. Of course, there are people who are dressed in human skin, but their souls are already demons. I'm not, at least not exactly. ”

Bao Xi understood it now, and the anger on her face suddenly dissipated, and the change was so fast that it made people feel that everything just now was completely performing. "Do you stick to your emotional bottom line, your moral bottom line?"

"No, I just firmly believe in the theory that what you do to others will treat you the way others will treat you. I don't confuse career with relationship, wife, I don't become a bargaining price. ”

Bao Xi stared at Luo Ling for a long time before saying, "You are the most special demon I have ever seen." ”

"That's right, because my name is Luo Ling. I have a lot of good qualities, like self-confidence, like tenacity, like honesty, and they will make me successful. My future is limitless. If you're bullish on this potential stock, invest before anyone else does, rather than short-sightedly cash out. ”

The smile returned to the praising face, and the cheerful atmosphere returned. "It's like an advertisement." She said.

"Yes, it's a science. Aren't some successful lords and demon kings also very aware of this straight way? The recruitment advertisement of the bloody war is very distinctive. ”

"Sir, you are confusing some of the pseudo-knowledge circulating with the display. As far as I know, there are only demons in this world, and there are no devils, and naturally there will be no bloody battles. ”

"Really? I don't know very well, I just vaguely remember someone telling me that many things in this world that are considered myths and legends or YY ideas are actually real. It turns out that the demon world is still so simple. There is no such thing as a chaotic camp or a disorderly camp. But who knows? Maybe in the past, or in the future, there is a devil and a demon. ”

A remark with a bit of casualness is not necessarily a prophecy, perhaps, it corresponds to one of the most essential truths of this crystal wall system, or it is not a reconciling, but a trigger......

After a very characteristic deepening of understanding, the conversation between Bao Xi and Luo Ling finally returned to the topic of the current situation.

"I know you must have discovered some secret about this illusion yesterday. I'm guessing you're poking it out as a sphere floating in the void, right? ”

Luo Ling smiled lightly with a bit of self-deprecation: "I thought I was exploring exclusive information......

"And then, I guess, you're going to run to the moon or the sun, right?"

When Bao Xi said this, Luo Ling felt like he was speechless. He did determine that the illusion was a floating sphere, and came up with the hypothesis that the sun and moon here were the core of the illusion. Because it is the sun and the moon that play a major role in influencing the changes in the illusion.

As soon as Bao Xi looked at Luo Ling's expression, she knew that she had guessed it again. "If you plan to do that, please terminate it. Previously detected by aircraft, this illusion resembles a miniature Earth, but its outer membrane is much tighter than the Earth's atmosphere. It was a shield made of planetary energy, and it was impossible to destroy it with our energy level. ”

Energy level, this is a brand new concept that Luo Ling only learned after he obtained knowledge from the rain slave for the second time. This classification is based on quality. For example, there is a qualitative difference between ordinary fire and elemental fire of the same nature, and elemental fire is qualitatively different from 'inflammation' of a higher level of purity. It is not only an improvement in purity, but also implies some elements that cannot be understood by the current Luo Ling. He simply understood this distinction as the difference between ordinary spells and divine spells in DND.

"I refused to cooperate, and I really took a lot of detours."

"The truth is, your performance has been very shocking. We have this information because we have a full-time deep earth mage, and this illusion, from technique to the use of energy, is almost completely unfamiliar to us. I have to say that there was once a group of extremely powerful beings who stayed in this land. I suspect they're one of those ancient demon races that have died out. ”

Bao Xi's words made Luo Ling think of the Golden Yan clan. "Are there many demon races that were once brilliant and possessed great power and knowledge, but eventually died out?"

"It's hard to count. As far as I know, there are at least 1,700 of these extinct groups recorded in the Enriyes canon. You're interested. ”

"Yes, history, stories, it is through these that mankind finds some important laws."

"Humanity believes that knowledge is power. After seeing the power of technology, I was deeply touched by this. ”

"As long as humanity is given another two hundred years, the hellish war will not be lost in such a hurry."

"I can understand your unwillingness to be part of the human race." Bao Xi said: "But the truth is that failure is already doomed. Because although technology is developing fast, it is not as fast as the degeneration of souls. ”

“……”

"Do you think that the demon kings and lords started this war against the main plane of the earth just because they have been coveting this piece of fat for a long time? The earth is no longer a field that produces more good souls, and fruit trees need to be pollinated and branched, and the same is true for producing souls. It's not the first time I've done something like this. ”

Luo Ling nodded, "This is the reason why those once glorious civilizations suddenly disappeared. ”

"Yes. Try different cultivation methods to get the best yields. It turns out that although technological civilization is produced quickly, its persistence is too poor, and the quality of the souls it produces declines too quickly. ”

"So, maybe in a few hundred or thousands of years, this will be a whole new magical world. Just like in the middle, the period of monarchy and feudalism will be longer, and the indirect intervention of gods and demons will effectively control the progress of social development, so as to ensure the high quality and sustainability of the soul. ”

"God says that man is a lamb." Bao Xi smiled: "How do humans treat sheep? From this point of view, the demon seems to be a little more merciful. At the very least, they allow some 'food' to become an existence equal to themselves by virtue of their own efforts or some other reason. Will humans give citizenship to a sheep? ”

Luo Ling pursed his lips and avoided the topic: "Unconsciously, I deviated from the topic again." Let's move on to the real world. What are your plans? Kill those starmen, haven't you noticed that the magical energy lost in this space is being absorbed by the illusion, and thus becoming more and more powerful? And you can't really destroy the starmen. ”

"Starman? Your name for the derivation of the soul is truly poetic. When you think about it, when they come, it's a bit like the stars falling. ”

"Soul Derivation?"

"Yes, referred to as Soul Yan, it is the opposite of Corpse Yan, which is commonly known as zombies in this world."

"Listen to you, it seems to know what I'm talking about."

"Of course. But we've lost the Deep Earth Mage and the Rock Spell Demon, and we can only solve the problem with this stupid solution. ”

"Deep Earth Mage, I heard you mention it when you were in the International Trade Building. What's going on with the Rock Spell Demon? ”

"Lei Dianfang's treasure exploration expert."

"How did they lose it?"

"The first Miyagi night battle."

"At the same time?"

"Yes, we underestimated the level of danger here. While fighting against the soul Yan in Miyagi, he also fought against the forces of the Thunder Palace, and as a result, he missed the best opportunity to crack the illusion. ”

Luo Ling nodded. "By blocking the killing, the number of stars entering Miyagi every day has indeed decreased, and I think this should be the result of a program running in the illusion, in order to give the people who fall into the illusion a little bit of hope so that they can extract as much magic energy as possible. What you're doing is that you want to break into Miyagi when the number of stars is close to the rebound line? ”

"Yes."

"But the illusion has made up for the quantitative loopholes with the improvement of quality, and in fact, Miyagi's combat strength should not be much weaker."

"The masters are not terrible, although their skills are strong, they still have to fight. However, the battle formation composed of a large number of stars is very difficult. ”

"Understood, with clumsy attack, one force to reduce ten. After all, the invading demons still belong to the Western genre. ”

"I don't understand."

"In this way, for example, in ancient times, there were two different groups of people in this land and the western land, and they each had two different masters who taught war skills. Those who teach Westerners are the mainstream demons now, and those who teach people in this land are the demon species that have died out. The difference between strength and skill. ”

Bao Xi understands now. "There's a big difference," she says. It's like what you said the night before yesterday about the five elements, and you almost didn't understand it at all. ”

"What I know is only scratching the surface, not the top. By the way, what exactly is in Miyagi? ”

"Shaft, core. That's what the Deep Earth Mage told me. ”

"Shaft? Axis? The same pole pillars as the north and south poles? So it's the illusion of the sphere that is spinning, not the fake sun and moon running in orbit? ”

"That's what we're speculating, too."

"Do you know how to get this core?"

"The Deep Earth Mage said that the key lies in the four halls of the inner city, as well as the main hall. We don't know the solution, we can only destroy. ”

"Four, five, two, one," Luo Ling muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Among the keys you mentioned, these numbers are alluded to. in the ancient metaphysical culture. Five elements, four elephants, three talents, two instruments, one yuan. The monistic hypothesis is the key core, and I think it should be some kind of artifact. One Yuan Gives Birth to Two Instruments. The two instruments are divided into yin and yang, that is, the sun and the moon. Two Yi give birth to four elephants, four elephants, east and west, north and south, east palace green dragon, horn, Kang, Di, room, heart, tail, Kei. West Palace White Tiger, Kui, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Mi, Ginseng. Nangong Suzaku, Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Wing, Zhen. Beigong Xuanwu, fighting, female, virtual, dangerous, room, wall. Twenty-eight nakshatras, dark wood, metal, fire, water, four genera. The central hall is estimated to be an earth genus, which together is the five elements. ”

"If that's the case, then do we know what to do?"

Luo Ling shook his head. "It's just that I know some direction, so I don't get too blind. The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and there are many similarities with the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. Knowing it, you won't make a joke about using tonic as poison by mistake. ”

"Each hall has seven backbone combat forces representing the stars?"

"I don't know. I don't know how to do it. If it is calculated according to the constellation, the green dragon has forty-six constellations. If it is counted by stars, more than 300 stars. Xuanwu has more than 800 stars. It's enough to form any formation......"

The two talked about some mysteries of Miyagi again, but in the end they still didn't come up with a positive statement. Luo Ling had already realized that the person who set up this illusion mechanism was the ancestor of metaphysics, and with his shallow knowledge of the matter, it would be good to be able to match the name with the real thing, and it was almost impossible to think about it.

Since you can't pinch your fingers like the immortals in Xianxia and break the ban in a chic way, you have to destroy it by force, but fortunately, the goal is clear, and you know where to smash it and how to smash it. As for the name of destroying cultural relics, it is obviously a backlash.

Bao Xi asked Luo Ling to join, and Luo Ling finally agreed. Once again, the difficulty of breaking the illusion had exceeded his expectations, and cooperation was inevitable. After all, no matter how much profit you have, you have to have a life to enjoy it.

Bao Xi came to Luo Ling this time, and it was a decision made after consulting Sha Lu's opinion. Although all the members of the team felt awkward in such a patchwork team, in the face of the general situation, they had to show a little generosity to carry out some actual combat running-in. are already veterans of the battlefield, and they have enough soul cultivation hands, and the tacit understanding can be said to have risen sharply. After two more nights of killing, the three parties discussed and decided that it would be night and then visit Miyagi.
