Chapter 268, The Demon of the Heart (Third Update)
Calristo didn't interject in the discussion between Xiao Yan and them, but lowered his head and looked for something on the ground. When Xiao Yan suggested that the life weishenme was going to attack secretly, the female trialist raised her head and whispered, "Maybe I already know that this guy weishenme wants to create this illusion. ”
In her hand, a white flagellar was swaying slightly in the light of the fire.
"It needs us to panic, it needs us to be unable to restrain ourselves, even to kill each other, just like those people in this cave once did, to sacrifice a lot of flesh and blood to bring it back to life."
Calristo watched as the flagella in his hand was ablated by the firelight, and continued in a low voice, "However, flesh and blood are not enough, this bastard still needs to make some men to spread its filth out." ”
Xiao Yan frowned and asked, "Mutant life?" ”
Calristo nodded and said, "That's right, to create mutant life. ”
Looking at the somewhat confused look on Xiao Yan's face, Calristo continued: "The school textbook once roughly said that there were two possibilities for the emergence of mutant life. One is body modification, where the source of infection is buried directly in the body of a living being. The other is mental pollution, which creates a demon in the target's mental mind, and if the target cannot defeat the demon alone, then the target's spirit will also be chaotic, and eventually mutate into a mutant life with no source of infection. ”
After a pause, Calisto continued: "The so-called proto-mutated life is the mother of those mutated lifeforms, and this proto-mutated life will create a new mutated source crystal in its own brain for a certain period of time. ”
"And this kind of mutation source crystal created by the mutant life itself is for the absurd demon. It's the most delicious food. Historically. Demons appear every time in reality shijie. It is always necessary to cultivate a large number of original mutant life through this inner demon. ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, he suddenly remembered the withered female corpses in the wasteland trial shijie, as well as the mutated mothers who still maintained their tiny in the face of death, including the insects in their blood. In addition, those blood-stained mutation source crystals also flashed through Xiao Yan's mind.
At the same time, he had a vague hunch that there might also be a demonic access point in the so-called leaked nuclear bunker, and the corpses he saw in the process of leaving the leaked nuclear bunker. Most of them have an inseparable and close relationship with the demonic access point.
In the process, he seemed to think of something, but this feeling was too subtle, and now was not the time to think about it, so he could only shake his head slightly, leaving all these distractions behind.
"You mean, there's a demon hiding here? It wants to be resurrected by devouring our flesh? ”
In response to Xiao Yan's question, Calisto shook his head and said, "No, there is no demon here, at least not a living demon. It traps us, of course, wants to devour our flesh and blood. However, the real purpose is most likely to hope that we will become original mutant beings. Only when we become a mutant life of the original and leave this cave can we bring more food to it, especially if its infection around this fortress has been interrupted by us and its food source has been cut off. ”
Xiao Yan frowned and whispered: "If it could implant the source of mutation in our body, I'm afraid it would have already done it, and now it can only trap us with this illusion, obviously trying to use the inner demon to infect us through the latter way." ”
Calisto nodded and said, "That's right, when a person's heart is frightened, weak, confused, desperate, and anxious, it is when the demons are most likely to invade, and this illusion gives us these pressures to force us into this environment. ”
After a pause, Calisto continued, "Still, that's what I want. ”
Looking at Xiao Yan's strange appearance, Calisto smiled slightly, and she whispered: "I want to implant a heart demon, every trialist will always do this, sooner or later." ”
Xiao Yan thought about it and nodded. Just like Karisto said, sooner or later, the Awakened will have to fight those demons, and the battle with their own demons is also a matter of time, rather than waiting until the future when they are at a loss and ignorance to fight their own demons, it is better to have a rehearsal in advance now. At least the next time Yujian is demonic, he can protect himself more haode.
It's just that such a reason is too far-fetched, and if you want to fight the inner demons, you can do it in a safer place, rather than in the current underground cavern.
"The important thing," said Calisto, "is to better please Uctrashil by defeating the demons of the heart." Until then, defeating the demon has given me more control over my equipment, and I hope that after defeating the demon, Yggdrasil will be able to completely unblock me, so that I can play a greater role in future battles. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and no longer made any dissuasion to Calisto. The female trialist was equally long-term, and apparently, she seemed to be prepared for how to overcome her demons.
"How can I be invaded by demons?"
Listening to Xiao Yan's question, Calisto smiled again, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "There are many ways to be invaded by the heart demon, you can choose at will. Of course, the best thing right now is to reduce all of your spirit resistances, across the board. Plunge yourself into confusion and restlessness, and demons will automatically appear in your psychic senses. ”
At this point, Calisto's voice had become very muffled, and it was soft and lackluster. At that moment, Xiao Yan vaguely felt that all the spirit of the female trialist seemed to be suddenly empty, and the Calristo in front of him was no longer a trialist, but an ordinary human woman.
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Laikaon, I don't know when, Laikaon had already drawn his double-edged axe and stared at his sister calmly, there was something crystal shining in his eyes.
Xiao Yan asked, "There doesn't seem to be anything here that can threaten Calisto, right?" Do you need to be so vigilant? ”
Laikaon looked at his sister calmly, and after a while, he said, "I'm not wary of the threat to Calristo from the outside world, I'm just vigilant, Calisto has become a mutant life. ”
Although this sentence was very calm, Xiao Yan clearly felt the infinite pressure in it. The brother's respect for his sister, his worry about his sister, and his deepest love for his sister are all reflected in this sentence.
Xiao Yan didn't continue to ask what would happen if Calristo really turned into a mutant life of the original body, in fact, the big axe in Laikaon's hand had already explained everything.
At this moment, an extremely sharp cry suddenly burst out around Xiao Yan. The cry from Calisto didn't have any skills attached, but the mere sound caused a rumbling echo throughout the cave, as if Calristo was everywhere.
As Xiao Yan turned his head suddenly, a circle of burning flames had already appeared beside Calisto beside him, these flames seemed to be just projections, even if they were only a few centimeters away from the ring of fire, Xiao Yan couldn't feel any heat.
He tried to touch the flames, and an unimaginable pain struck him, and for a moment, he almost thought his hand had been burned completely.
This made Xiao Yan shocked, and after pulling his finger back to examine it carefully, his gaze told him that there was nothing wrong with his finger. But the pain that still didn't dissipate in his mind made him unable to control his right hand, as if it had really been burned.
Calristo in the ring of fire behaved very violently, she kept moaning, hurting, paining, and sad sounds. The sounds made her body sway around the ring of fire, looking shaky.
Lecaon tried to help his sister, but the flaming icy flames dashed the strong trialist's intentions. In the end, he could only watch his sister struggle alone in the ring of fire.
The demonic access point seemed to have a deep interest in the battle between the trialist and the inner demon, at least in Xiao Yan's occasional glance, the dot had stopped beating and turning, and it looked like a lone pupil staring at what was happening in front of him.
The entire cave had fallen silent except for the occasional sounds made by Calristo, and this contrasting silence became an irrevocable heaviness that weighed heavily on Laikaon's body.
The uncertainty of the future, the worry of his sister, made the stout trialist's hands tremble.
Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything, so he could only reluctantly pat Laikaon on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
After a few minutes or so, Calristo suddenly fell silent, and she stood there calmly, her body trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind. It is clear that the battle against the demons has reached an extremely dangerous moment.
Lekaon, who was standing beside Xiao Yan, had begun to gasp for breath, and this almost abnormal state made Xiao Yan vaguely see the powerful brother who did not hesitate to risk his sister at the beginning. Laikaon's tearful eyes at that time and his hands now clutching the handle of the axe seemed to be more representative of the inner softness of the strong trialist.
"The demon's flame, it turns out that this is the demon's flame."
"The demons are good, but that's all."
Calristo said suddenly, and with her words, the flames around her suddenly bulged, and in a matter of seconds, these rings of fire had rapidly decayed, and finally only sporadic sparks slowly fell in the air.
Looking at Lecaon, Calisto moved his body for a moment, then took out a staff from his bracelet and whispered, "Oh, it's a pleasure to be fully restored." (To be continued......)
