Chapter 111: Sinking
Subspace, the sojourn of the soul projection.
Although he was infected the moment he entered the steam caravan, this did not make Su Qin feel much fear and pressure. Instead, he grasped the crux of the matter, since this terrible epidemic can infect its victims so quickly. So why didn't he spread to the entire convoy?
His intuition told him what crucial questions must be hidden in it. Most of the victims' bodies are no longer able to respond to external stimuli, in other words, they are now unable to communicate with those people in ordinary ways. This means that no one is aware of how patients are intuitively feeling today.
Now that the physical body has been blocked, let's go directly to their souls.
After Su Qin entered meditation, he directly transferred his consciousness to the subspace soul projection. It felt like sinking through the surface of the water to the bottom of a lake, and in this space where the distance could not be described, the giant that lived in the middle of nowhere let out a few dream murmurs of unknown meaning. The glorious palace of memories sat on its head, and Su Qin's consciousness body stood on the highest tower and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a large area of yellow-green mist shrouded in the vicinity, blurring the distant scenery.
To find out, he walked down the spiral steps away from the alien concentric giant. Following the familiar malice in the space, Su Qin quickly found most of the infected people. In the square space of the steam caravan, you can see the different souls of various races everywhere.
Among them, the souls of dwarves are as strong as rocks, the souls of elves are as uncertain as the wind, and the souls of humans are like rivers with strange and unfixed forms. At this moment, the souls of any race are entwined with yellow-green silk threads. Layer upon layer, like a small worm that has fallen into a spider's nest, it will not move at all.
Following those silk threads, Su Qin's perception continued to pursue forward. The threads became denser and denser, eventually forming a huge spiritual web set up in subspace. At the heart of the web was a huge spider-shaped demon with an extremely ugly appearance. Its rotting upper body took on a humanoid form, and silk threads were constantly tugging at its two elongated, pale green arms.
Unlike humans, its three universal joints make its arms extremely flexible, and the ends of the pulled silk threads are wrapped around one or several prey. The prey was fed into the insect's mouthparts with two pairs of jaws on the lower half of the demon's body. There was an incomparably miserable wail, and at the same time, countless soul fragments turned into blood and shredded flesh splattered out.
Even the two pairs of appendages next to the mouthparts that assisted in feeding were stained with soul fragments.
Click, Su Qin's fastened five fingers left five blood marks on the stone pillars. It also caused his real-life nails to crack several times, but the intense anger made him ignore the pain from his fingertips.
As it ate, the spider-shaped demon's massive belly spewed out more silk threads, which swam into the distance like writhing snakes. It turns out that this epidemic is not only transmitted in reality, but at the same time, it is also spreading in the subspace. Although, now it has not infected the entire convoy. But it's only a matter of time.
Gas masks and physical isolation do not prevent the spread of the disease, and soon infected people will appear on other vehicles. Unless this demon is completely destroyed, no one will be spared.
There may be more secrets of the epidemic, but Su Qin did not continue to study. The feeling of fatigue in his body told him that the virus was already being transmitted rapidly in his body. At the same time, there are also yellow-green silk threads that appear on his consciousness body in the subspace.
Perhaps it was because the soul was different from ordinary people, and he felt that he was infected much faster than ordinary people, which left him time to retaliate. Because of the peculiarities of psionic powers, there is a lot of space in the notes of Callias that records knowledge related to subspace. From this, Su Qin learned that only the will was the most effective force in this field.
At the same time, this is the only method he has access to at the moment.
Will, this originally ethereal element that has no intuitive embodiment. In subspace, it can have a real impact, when Su Qin focuses all his attention on the silk threads entangled in his body. He clearly felt the resistance, and the thread was growing slower. The spider demon in the distance seemed to feel something, and it stopped eating and began to observe the direction where Su Qin was.
Along the silk thread, this greedy and ugly demon crawled towards Su Qin's location little by little.
As a beginner, Su Qin didn't have the confidence to destroy it in the subspace. So he had to return to the Palace of Memory before he was discovered by the demons, and only then would he be safe. But those silk threads wrapped around his body limited his movement speed, which made Su Qin feel a trace of anxiety and negativity in his heart. Affected by this, the sudden churning sea of the Force gave him a glimmer of enlightenment.
Following his instincts, he reached out and grasped the yellow-green threads. The Force triggered by the change of mood converged between the five fingers to form a dark red thunder light. Taking a breath, although this behavior was meaningless in the subspace, Su Qin successfully calmed down the abnormal changes in his emotions. After regaining his composure, he continued to clench his fingers. Intense soul fluctuations were bound in his hands by his steely will, turning into a vibrating blue electric light.
"Soul power."
With a low groan, the silk threads dissolved and disappeared like ice flowers under the scorching sun's attack. After getting rid of the shackles, Su Qin returned to the Palace of Memory as fast as he could. Pushing open the tall stone door, he returned to the real world for the first time. Subsequently, the part of the subconscious that exists in the self-protection consciousness forms a spherical cyclone with the mist exhaled by the giant while it is sleeping, blocking all external peeping and malice.
Seeing the incomparably huge cyclone in front of him, the arachnid demon who was a step late had to retreat in awe.
However, the strength of the will, which did not correspond to the soul projection, made a trace of greed rise in its heart. If that consciousness were to be eliminated physically, perhaps it would have the slightest chance to devour that huge soul. The arachnid demon gradually began to lose its mind due to its intense greed, and it waved its hands and weaved a circular door frame in the subspace with silk threads.
In reality, sitting cross-legged on the ground was Su Qin's awakening. The numbness in his body gradually subsided, and when he looked down, he saw that the bulging blood vessels and green tendons on his arms were slowly returning to normal. Because of the defense line that the giant has built unconsciously, he doesn't have to worry about infection for the time being. But how to destroy that demon became a new problem.
Just as he pondered but couldn't find an answer, a round door of light appeared out of thin air inside the caravan. A sharp insect limb poked out of it, making a deep notch on the metal floor of the steam caravan.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come. I'm worried about how to catch you......"
Su Qin sneered, clenched the hilt of his sword, and got up to move his muscles and bones that felt stiff from sitting cross-legged for a long time. With. The clatter of the neck bones as they writhed, and a crimson streak burst out from the hilt of the sword, forming an indestructible blade of light, and the entire carriage was a bloody color under the red light.
"Does this count as home delivery? Eight-legged guy. ”
