Directly hypnotize the body, weaken the influence of consciousness on the body, and then make the illusion have a powerful and non-transferable lethality to the body. This is the method used by the female occultist in front of her to use mystical powers, but it is not the "mysterious" nature she possesses. I don't think she's one of the mystical experts who has broken free from the mystical system of this world, and if she wasn't, then her "mystery" must have been transformed into an electronic demon, and she used the emissary of the electro-demon to invoke this "mystery".

I scrutinized with chain determination, looking for anything that looked like an "electronic demon". "Electro-demon" is just a general term, and there is no infinite form, among which there are humanoid electro-demons, and of course, there are non-humanoid ones, so since there are electro-demons that can confirm their abnormalities at a glance, there should naturally be electro-demons who cannot confirm their abnormalities in the first place. For example, Anna and others, who were the joints of the network ball before, have electronic demons that are presented in the form of "light", "ashes", and "concepts", and even if they are displayed, their existence is also extremely obscure.

It is not an electronic demon that appears in a formless or conceptual form, but it must have the power to determine victory or defeat. Most of the power effects of the electronic demon are still single, and the combat experience and will of the electronic demon messenger will often change the contrast between strength and weakness on the battlefield. However, there are some ways in which formless and conceptual animatronic demons do possess extraordinary potential, and thus exhibit some special abilities.

I think that if the female occultist in front of me is really an electronic demon messenger, then her electronic demon may be a formless or conceptual electronic demon. The mystery of propelling "hypnotism" to this super-powerful Cheng dù is not unique, but it is also extremely rare. And the rare effect is a hint.

There's a reason why electro-demon messengers generally hide electro-demons in their shadows. There are a lot of explanations from a occult point of view, but it doesn't matter, just understand that the result of this is that when using an electro-demon, there must be a process of "releasing the electro-demon from the shadows". If it's a skilled electronic demon messenger. Even if the electronic demon is hidden in the shadow, it can use part of the power of the electronic demon, but in general, the electronic demon is the strongest state when it completely leaves the shadow, and half of it is hidden in the shadow, the effect will be halved or even more, and completely hiding in the shadow is when its power influence is the weakest.

But. Since this female occult expert has already been ambushed here, the possibility of her unleashing the electronic demon in advance is also in doubt, however, my chain judgment has locked on the surrounding area from the beginning. I don't think that when this female electronic demon messenger attacked Mitsui Tsukao and others with hypnosis, it was achieved by operating the electronic demon messenger who was beyond the range of observation of the chain judgment. Instead. At that time, it was the greatest possibility that the electronic demon messenger was still hiding in her shadow.

In this way, when it comes to dealing with me. She should have completely freed the Electro Demon from the shadows, too. And I didn't realize it at the first time, it must have been some trick, not because this electronic demon is "invisible" - like magic, attracting the audience's attention while the audience is not aware of it. Come up with the right props.

So, what happened between when she hypnotized Mitsukasu and others and hypnotized me? I recall every detail of that time.

Although it is a memory and search, it is only a short time to rush towards the female occultist with the flame of slashing through the illusion.

The sense of battle controls the body. In a state where she was completely unable to react, he broke the balance of her feet with skill, grabbed her head and smashed it to the ground, the blade pressed against her neck and pierced the ground. I leaned on my sword and saw her look of amazement in her gaze. I wasn't going to kill her like that, but she also clearly didn't feel like she had been completely defeated, so there was no negativity in that amazed gaze.

The counterattack came as I had thought, and there was a blink of an eye in front of my eyes, like light rippling on the waves, and the water droplets fell into the water and splashed ripples, and the reflection in the water became incomplete for a while. Although it was only in the blink of an eye, the human body suppressed by the blade had disappeared. At the same time, I smelled cigarettes.

Is it cigarettes - no, smoke?

I can imagine how this female occultist escaped from it, roughly at the moment of falling into disadvantage, activated hypnotism, and freed me from my confinement in a trance, or even earlier, had completed hypnosis, causing my attack trajectory to deviate. I'm fast, and almost most of the occult experts should already know about this advantage, and the one in front of me, of course, can't be defenseless. On the premise that "I can't react myself", I think that arranging a defense plan that "even if you can't react, you can dodge" is something that every mysterious expert who stands on my opponent should think about.

This female occultist was the one who had been specially sent to intercept me, and it was not surprising that she was able to do this. On the contrary, if you don't even have this kind of plan, and the ability to fully implement it, it will only be a suicide for me. Unless there is some kind of dirt between the person who assigned her the task and her, denial, it is impossible for such a self-defeating thing to happen.

Seeing that the duck had reached its beak, it flew away, but my mood was very calm, and I slowly pulled out the long knife. In the blink of an eye, the chain judgment had reconfirmed the position of the female occult expert. And this woman is also very cautious, and she does not want to fight back continuously in one go.

She has come to the side of Mitsukasuka, a fortune teller and a fitness trainer. The movements of the three of them were stiff, and even if they hooked a finger, it seemed that it would take several hours, and it was inevitable that such three people would become hostages. So, I'm not upset about it. I don't think that the enemies I encounter are all small people who will be suppressed at the beginning. On the contrary, on the battlefield full of "mysteries", it is actually very reasonable for the side that has premeditated and fully interpreted the intelligence to occupy the opening advantage.

The female occultist now has the upper hand, not entirely because she's stronger. It wasn't that I made a mistake, but simply because she was better prepared than I was.

This is not something that can be avoided with caution.

If I would regret even this kind of thing, I would have lost my life a long time ago.

When any negative feelings arise, the enemy will not stop to wait and taunt. To the occult expert, anything that seems "superfluous words" and "superfluous actions". It must all be meaningful. On the other hand, they will not do anything meaningless, such as wasting time mocking others, waiting for a fair fight, etc.

Although it is very complicated to describe, what actually happened is only three seconds before and after.

The female occultist spat out a smoke ring, a trick I hadn't been able to master. I'm a little envious. However, the eyes still turned to Mitsukasu, the soothsayer and the fitness coach, because. The smoke ring has expanded to the point where it is like a rope, completely imprisoning the three of them.

"Is it smoke?" I looked at the female occultist.

"Actually, it's a worm." Completely ignoring the mysterious expert, who was half naked, said slowly: "This is a cigarette made of cordyceps." When ignited, the smoke is made up of tiny insects. They are not afraid of fire and flooding and are extremely resistant to any type of corrosion. You should have seen them in adulthood, the same beetles that drove you here before. ”

"It's amazing." I couldn't help but glance at the cigarette she lit in her hand a few more times, and even in such a wild rainstorm, the cigarette butt could not be extinguished. Paper tubes that are already visibly wet can still be ignited. Now it appears that these cigarettes are specially made from start to finish.

The female mystery expert smiled slightly and said, "The carving insect skill will be seen through sooner or later." ”

"You inhale them in your lungs?" As we all know, the correct way to smoke is to inhale it completely into the lungs. It's completely different from a cigar that only swirls in the mouth. When you think about it, it's a bit scary to think about these tiny bugs being sucked into your lungs like this.

"For me alone, they're actually beneficial, even if they go into my lungs. It also strengthens my heart and lungs, which is different from the usual cigarettes. Said the female occultist.

"So, the smoke, or the bugs, is your electronic demon, right?" I made a guess in my mind.

"Yes, I don't think I could hide for too long, but you're aware of it faster than I thought." The female occultist was not surprised that her "magic" had been revealed, but it was clear that she had used words again.

"Not all of these bugs are your electronic demons, but only some of them are...... However, it would not be surprising if only one bug was an electronic demon, a mother worm-like being. I said, staring at the smoke that swirled in the torrential rain.

"Maybe." This time, the female mystery expert only responded ambiguously, "You were chased by my swarm so wolf before, and now ...... Here it comes. She interrupted her speech, her eyes raised to the sky behind me, and without saying it, I had heard the humming sound that not even the sound of the rain could completely hide. Beetles swooped into the sky, beyond the canopy, and converged in our direction.

"Mr. Takakawa, it seems that the situation has been reversed." The female occultist smiled calmly, "Thank you for talking to me for so long. ”

"No, I just have a lot of things I want to confirm, so I'm just going to beat you ready." Because I think so, I don't have any burden at all about the so-called shape shì twisting.

"Really? Well, let me remind you one more point. The female mystical expert flicked the ashes of her cigarette and said to me: "Hypnosis is enhanced by the insect technique, and the insect technique is performed through the mystery, so at the moment of hypnosis, the bodies of these three people have already parasitized the mysterious eggs." Mr. Takakawa might be able to kill me in an instant, but if I did die, the eggs would destroy their bodies from the inside, and in a minute, they would eat them clean. Is that okay? Mr. Takakawa, do you have the ability to clean foreign bodies from other people's bodies? If not, let's stay here honestly, it won't take too long, and then my mission can be completed. To be honest, I don't want to fight a fourth-level demonic emissary at all. You also used to be an electronic demon messenger, and you understand the advantages and disadvantages of electronic demons, my body is much worse than in the past, and when I encounter a speed-type demon pattern messenger like you, it is still the fourth level...... It's really dangerous. ”

When I raised my hand slightly, I was warned by the female mystery expert: "So, Mr. Takakawa, as long as you move, I have to be scared, so let's not move." She stared at me so hard that she didn't even dare to blink, as she said.

The dark cloud of beetles hovers over our heads, but it doesn't fall at all. The human form that was previously made up of beetles had no intention of appearing at all. Now it seems that the humanoid form is actually the form of the female mysterious messenger in front of him who performed precise manipulation on these beetles.

Obviously, her current form is that she has the advantage because of the success of her plan, and she still holds three hostages, but she looks even more nervous than me. Even the insects seemed to be affected by her mood, and they were no longer as irritable as the previous insect tide, hovering in the sky for a while, as if they were worried about something, and did not attack me. If it were someone else, she might have said something like "don't fight back, or you'll kill the hostage", but the woman in front of me seems to know the meaning of "hostage".

The loss of a hostage's life is useless, but on the other hand, while the hostage's life can be used as a threat, it is not enough to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for the life of a mysterious expert.

"Actually—" I said after a moment of silence, "Actually, you neglected one person from the beginning...... Obviously a master of hypnotism and magic, but don't you realize it? ”

Yes, hostages are effective for me, and I am indeed not sure that I will unravel the insect trick of this female mystical expert in front of me. But that doesn't mean that no one in the room can do it. I think I am the most powerful person at the moment, but I am not the one with the highest probability and surprise, there is a being, which is neither human nor can use human cognition to judge what it can and cannot do.

"What?" The female occultist frowned, however, the next moment, her expression froze.

A hand came out of behind her and out of her chest.

"How is that possible?" She said. (To be continued......)
