Chapter 13: The Ritual of Mutation
Although the two forces are still in basic balance at the moment, the inhibition force is, after all, a natural force recognized by the rules of heaven and earth in this world, and this strange force is nothing more than a so-called magic ritual, borrowed from the special state of the stars. Not only will this power not be replenished in the future, but the passage opened by Lin Yumo's ritual cannot last forever, and when the ritual is over, this otherworldly magic like a sourceless water and rootless wood will eventually be completely swallowed up by the suppressive force, and Lin Yumo will also disappear when he has exhausted all the opportunities to create a zào.
However, Lin Yumo didn't know about this at this moment, the impact of alien magic on this world was not reflected in the external world that could be perceived with the basic senses of human beings, and Lin Yumo's faint super-perception could not effectively analyze this phenomenon close to the conflict of legal principles.
After the whole ritual was completed, being able to perceive the arrival of something was already the limit of his extra-perceptual sense. So he didn't know anything, and when he sensed that the ritual seemed to have had some effect, he only had an indescribable excitement that he was about to get out of the control of absolute reason.
But he didn't realize at this time that when the xenomorph magic power first clashed with the inhibition force, it was already doomed that he would eventually fail to manifest in this realm, forming the projection of Vassago, who ranked third among the seventy-two demon gods of Solomon, and the inability to project was doomed to not be able to get any communication with Lin Yumo, and it was destined to face failure again this time!
Yes, without Lin Yumo realizing it, the Demon Dao Ritual he had worked so hard to prepare would eventually face failure again, but this was not a crime of war, it was just that the rules of this world had doomed this kind of mystery that could affect reality to be unable to materialize.
However, although the ending of the ritual in front of him was already doomed, in the center of Lin Yumo's sea of consciousness in the depths of Lin Yumo's soul, some kind of unexpected turn quietly took shape without Lin Yumo noticing it, as early as the moment it was activated and appeared, the ** of the soul that itself represented some unknown mysterious crystallization keenly felt some kind of huge crisis.
For this life, the inhibition is equivalent to the white blood cells in the human body, which will kill any foreign matter that invades this life, so as to maintain the stability and balance of this life, but for the soul seed that was only in a state of silence and was awakened by Lin Yumo by chance recently, the mysterious power contained in it is still in the substance that is harmful to this life, even if it is spontaneously awakened by the aborigines recognized by this life.
If you have to compare it, it is the difference between normal cells and cancer cells, as long as cancer cells appear, they are destined to spontaneously mutate the surrounding healthy tissues, which is exactly what the inhibitory force does not allow, if it is discovered at this extremely sensitive juncture of the inhibitory force, not only the soul seed, but even Lin Yumo's soul itself will be assimilated into the most basic substance by TOE!
Therefore, the Soul Seed was very decisive in hiding its own existence, it secretly observed the struggle between the inhibiting forces and the external forces, and seized the opportunity to secretly operate its own power when they were at their most fierce to the point where they could not be distracted at all.
The appearance that had been dull because it needed to be hidden was re-lit with a golden streamer, and it was honest and cautious one moment ago, but the next moment it was like a tooth and claw to regain its vitality!
It quietly poked out its tentacles, and the thin golden light in its body turned into countless extremely fine spider silks, which not only stretched out to the space outside Lin Yumo's soul, but also formed a large web on its periphery, silently penetrating into the ubiquitous inhibition network, and then mimicking the coat of inhibition that was only superficial, and then attached to the inhibition veins that permeated the void like vines attached to the trunk of a big tree.
Obviously, he is also an alien identity, but the soul seed has concealed the sniffing of the inhibition in an incredible way, and it is like a drop of colored ink splashed into the sea, even if it is the will of unity that dominates this world, it does not feel the abnormality for a while.
Just when the inhibition force and the otherworldly magic force are fighting each other, the magic power that is too huge cannot be completely swallowed up in a short period of time by the inhibition force that is too thin and has a limited devouring speed, and these overflowing magic power is different from the spiritual energy that has been solidified by the inhibition around it, like a stubborn stone full of inertia and cannot be used, these powers are fresh and full of vitality, and can be absorbed and used very lightly!
So the seed of the soul lurks quietly, and the tentacles it releases are hungry. Thirsty to absorb those escaping fragments of power, while continuing to differentiate and grow more tentacles, like a virus, silently growing and growing while deceiving the inhibiting force!
For the original incredibly huge magic power, even if there was only less than one thousandth of the residue left by the inhibition force, for the soul seed in Lin Yumo's body at this time, it was a delicious, easy to digest and greatly replenished nourishment, and with the absorption of this energy by this soul seed, a certain transformation gradually underwent a certain transformation.
The golden streamer in its body is constantly accumulating and emitting a more brilliant light, just when this light accumulates to the apex, it suddenly collapses inward and finally condenses into a tiny rune of weak mosquitoes and flies, and by this chance and coincidence of the temporarily linked inhibition vein, this rune rushed out of the solid barrier of this world along the loophole of the inhibition vein, and turned into a meteor that could not be perceived by will, and jumped to a distant place whose name is unknown!
After completing this, the soul seed at this moment began to put all its strength on its own evolution, until finally this seed successfully completed the final transformation, if you really want to describe it accurately, it is - this seed has finally germinated!
…………………………………………
The secret confrontation between the alien magic and the inhibition only lasted for more than ten minutes, and in addition to not noticing the changes in the soul seed in the depths of his consciousness, the feeling of oppression caused by the arrival of the xenomorph magic continued to become weaker because of the inhibition on itself, and finally disappeared completely!
"It's ...... Did you fail......"
Lin Yumo raised his head and looked around him blankly, the candlelight that was about to burn out still emitted a dim yellow flame, and his own shadow was still reflected on the walls around him, there was nothing unusual to exist zài came here from the other world, and he stood here like a fool, making a senseless wait.
"Really...... It seems like a ridiculous farce...... The previous qiē was indeed ...... Or my own delusion! ”
At this time, Lin Yumo finally reacted - the ritual he had painstakingly prepared had failed after all, his summons had not been responded, and even the trace of change he had sensed at the beginning was like an illusion, and it disappeared inexplicably without causing any waves in the present world!
After all, his own ritual did not give rise to the mystery that could manifest in this world!
Lin Yumo didn't get the opportunity to contact the mysterious and transcendent that he dreamed of, his expectations were completely disappointed, he failed again, even if it caused a big storm in the realm that human beings could not see, it could not affect the mortal human beings in this world, and there was basically no difference between what could not be detected by human beings and what did not exist, so Lin Yumo once again fell into extreme disappointment and frustration!
"I almost succeeded! But, why...... Damn ......"
Lin Yumo lowered his head with a gloomy expression, and then raised his fist and slammed it on the wall beside him.
"Every time, again and again, always! It's always like this, hovering back and forth between failure and expectation! I do this...... Does it really make sense? ”
At this moment, he held back the tears that were almost overflowing from the corners of his eyes, choked up and muttered:
"Mom...... Father...... What the hell am I going to do...... I really miss you ......."
In the face of the cruel reality, even an iron man can't bear the double blow of mental and physical, not to mention that Lin Yumo is not a 'strongman' like a special soldier or agent, he is just a little different from ordinary people, and in essence, he is just an ordinary teenager!
At this time, Lin Yumo, who was still immersed in frustration in the real world, suddenly felt that his chest had become a little dull, and his head was suddenly invaded by a burst of vertigo, and then the scene in front of him trembled and trance, and his spirit seemed to have some kind of disconnect with ** and lost control of his body, and finally fell to the ground and fell into a complete coma.
Lin Yumo's coma lasted for several hours, and when it was midnight, 'he' regained consciousness and got up cleanly, as if nothing had happened before, and stood up from the ground.
There was no human expression on his face, his eyes looked vacantly ahead, and he turned his head indifferently to look at the door of the basement, ignoring the items left behind by his previous ritual, and left the place without looking back.
If you are really familiar with him, you will find that although the body that belongs to Lin Yumo is indeed stored here, it is only a body, and Lin Yumo's essence of the existence of zài, that is, his own soul, has mysteriously disappeared.
Judging from the standard but stiff movements of his body, at this moment he seems to be pulled by an invisible silk thread to make all kinds of unconscious, purposeless operations, at this moment he is just a walking corpse-like puppet manipulated by a pair of invisible hands!
And this strange and terrifying state is definitely inseparable from the change of the soul seed in his sea of knowledge.
Just before Lin Yumo fell into a coma, the magic power that was descended into the void was finally completely devoured, even if there were still many remnants of magic scattered there, it could not affect the overall situation, so the inhibition of this life gradually lost its vitality and regained its calm, and finally hid in the cracks of this life again.
At the moment when the inhibition completely dissipated, the filament of the soul seed emitted to the outside world was also withdrawn, and when this seed returned to the original position of Lin Yumo Zhihai. Guided by the abundant mystical power obtained by the seed, a trace of golden mystical power that should not have existed in this life was integrated into his spirit.
Just when Lin Yumo was in this strange situation that seemed to be shrouded in fog and couldn't judge whether it was good or bad, his spiritual world was also undergoing a earth-shaking change!
Mechanically returned to the second floor of the ghost house, Lin Yumo stretched out his hand to open the door a little stiffly, and after walking in quietly, he lay quietly on the bed with a movement that seemed to be the same as usual, but with a slight stagnation, and then saw him close his eyes again, as if he was 'dead', and fell into a silent sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, when the rising red sun had just emerged from the horizon, Lin Yumo, who was 'asleep', also opened his eyes as if he had agreed. Following the human instincts that remained within this body, after a necessary rest, 'he' returned to the basement and meticulously began to clean up the traces left by yesterday's ritual with a strong sequential movement.
When the sun had fully risen, 'he' had finished cleaning the basement, and returned to his room on the second floor, briefly packed up the luggage he had 'already set' to take with him, and then sat quietly and regularly on the chair in the room, waiting for something with a blank face.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
"Xiao Qin! I'm your landlord! It's time for the seventh day to collect the house! ”
Hearing the middle-aged woman's knock on the door outside the door, it was not the will of the 'self' that this body originally had, but only the instinct of the remnants of this body, 'he' reflexively stood up, walked over and opened the door.
"Hey, Xiao Qin, you're up! What do you think? These two days...... You're pretty comfortable, don't you, look at your complexion...... You...... Probably...... Didn't meet those...... Unclean ...... Stuff...... ......."
I finally met a guest who could fill up seven days without checking out early, which is really good news for the landlady who has been struggling with this!
-- Maybe her house was suddenly overrun by the young man's yang, and it would never be haunted, but when the landlady looked at the tenant behind the door through the door that had been quietly opened, her expression became a little strange and strange.
The tired body, which had not recovered from the ritual, revealed a pale face without a trace of blood, blood-lost lips, and a pair of vacant eyes that were motionless and fixed staring at themselves without any emotion!
This qiē is combined with this old mansion with all kinds of bad rumors, and it forms a very weird and terrifying eerie feeling!
