Chapter 15: Where is the clue?
"What do you mean?"
Fang Yisheng also immediately adjusted his state and became serious.
"For example, do you know what a balance stone is?"
"Balance stone? I don't know. Fang Yisheng shook his head, "You're looking for a balance stone, right?" I remember you told me about this on the page. ”
"That's right, I must find the balance stone as soon as possible now, and only by finding it can I send the living people here back to the Ming World. And, I think, there is certainly more to the balance stone than that. ”
"You mean...... Fang Yisheng's eyes widened immediately, "Maybe the Balance Stone is, the key to all of this?" ”
"That's right! The so-called 'balance' should refer to the balance between the light world and the dark world, between humans and ghosts. People are in the human world, ghosts are in the ghost world, and the role of the balance stone is to maintain this balance. If I'm not mistaken, the series of curses and visions in Raven Ridge appeared because there was some kind of problem with the balance stone. As long as we find the balance stone and solve the problem, the balance will be restored and the curse will be removed. ”
Fang Yisheng didn't respond immediately, but thought about it.
Before he could speak, Shi Yuan asked again, "Is your leg injured?" ”
"Huh?" Fang Yisheng was stunned, "Oh, yes. I noticed your presence just now, and I wanted to hurry over to meet you, but I accidentally tripped and sprained my ankle. ”
"Ankle sprain?"
Shi Yuan habitually took out the healing mineral water, but he immediately remembered that he and Shen Han had drunk the mineral water just now, but it had no effect.
Is it really failing, or is it?
Thinking of this, Shi Yuan handed over the mineral water: "Treat the injury first." ”
"I still have it here."
After speaking, Fang Yisheng took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and took a sip. Then, he moved his ankle a few times, and it felt like it was fine.
"Your mineral water is still ...... Effective? ”
"yes. How? Is yours invalid? ”
Fang Yisheng raised his head and asked.
"I don't know, it's useless for me to drink anyway. My cousin drank it, and the ...... on his body"
Speaking of this, Shi Yuan's gaze suddenly focused on Fang Yisheng's face.
His face, still rotten, showed no signs of getting better at all.
What the hell is going on?
But then he understood.
If it is corroded by the ubiquitous air of the dark world, this mineral water is ineffective. However, if it is a physical damage, the mineral water will still work.
It is not known if the damage caused by mineral water to ghosts will have an effect, but it has to be said that it is much better than a complete failure.
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
Shi Yuan didn't want Fang Yisheng to ask any more questions, so he said so.
Fang Yisheng also understood what Shi Yuan meant, so he didn't dwell on what he didn't finish just now, but instead said: "Our previous missions all had specific rules and clues, this time we went to the dark world to find the balance stone, I don't know if there will be any clues." ”
"yes, I've thought about that too. So far, though, I haven't found anything or phenomena that could be seen as clues, other than ......" Shi Yuan looked up, "except for the mysterious disappearance of the houses here. ”
"Is this a clue?" Fang Yisheng said with some skepticism, "This kind of thing happens almost all the time in this dark world. I don't think that's a clue. ”
"All the time?" Shi Yuan's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, "The vision here must be extremely serious, and there is no way to compare it with the Ming World. It seems that it is even more difficult to find clues. ”
Fang Yisheng sighed and said, "No way, who let this be the dark world." This place was originally a mysterious and unknown alien space, and no matter what happens, it is possible. Clue kind of thing, perhaps...... It doesn't exist at all. ”
"Is there no way to solve the imbalance between the two worlds?" Shi Yuan's expression changed slightly, "I don't think that's the case. Be cautious, I'm sure there will be a way to solve the mystery. Let's go, we're ......."
His words stopped abruptly as he saw what seemed to be something in front of him.
He couldn't see what it was, and in this dark world, he could only vaguely tell that it was something that had just appeared out of thin air, and its outline was very blurry, like several houses connected together, and like undulating mountains.
"Let's go over there and have a look."
After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he immediately took a step forward and walked towards the black shadow.
The closer he got, the more Shi Yuan felt that the black silhouette looked a little familiar, and it seemed to be a rather familiar place.
"How do I feel, it's like ...... there? Haiyuan No. 3 Middle School? ”
Shi Yuan said with some uncertainty.
"Haiyuan No. 3 Middle School? Is it the school you attended? ”
"Yes."
After saying these two words briefly, Shi Yuan stopped talking.
Compared with Haiyuan University of Technology, Haiyuan No. 3 Middle School is much smaller, with only two teaching buildings, in addition to several buildings such as gymnasiums, comprehensive laboratory buildings, and libraries. None of these buildings are very tall, and from a distance they look like bungalows.
There are no gates, no walls, just buildings inside and a playground that is not very large.
Shi Yuan stepped into the scope of "Haiyuan No. 3 Middle School", but there was an immediate feeling of stepping into the air under his feet.
Oops!
Shi Yuan's heart was suddenly shocked, because he immediately judged that he did not really fall in the air, but stepped into a viscous liquid.
This seemingly flat ground turned out to be a pond, but the water in the pond turned out to be ......
"Shi Yuan!"
Fang Yisheng followed behind Shi Yuan. Seeing Shi Yuan fall suddenly, he reacted very quickly and grabbed the strap of Shi Yuan's backpack to prevent him from continuing to fall.
"Fang Yisheng!"
Shi Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Fang Yisheng's arm tightly.
Finally, under the pull of Fang Yisheng, Shi Yuan got out of that area.
He was covered in cold sweat. The sudden fall made him suddenly feel like death was coming, and the momentary panic was even stronger than the danger he had felt during the mission.
"Be careful."
Fang Yisheng said in shock.
Shi Yuan nodded and looked at the position where he had just fallen again.
He saw that it was not a liquid, but a myriad of distorted ghosts. They gather in a large crater and squeeze against each other, each of which is so badly deformed that it is almost impossible to see what it was originally.
That soft and cold feeling, even through clothes, Shi Yuan could feel it.
That feeling was too familiar, those were the "wriggling things" he felt in Haiyuan III before all the anomalies in Dark Raven Ridge began.
"Get out of here, don't rush in again."
Fang Yisheng persuaded.
