"If there is even the most basic work package...... That's it......" the Mechanic Warlock grinned, scratching his head, "If that so-called scepter is underwater, I can make a simplest radiation monitor to locate it, and then if there's a camera, I can make a salvage rig...... But the town's oldest to most advanced technology is the video cassette projector...... If we were to start over from this Stone Age, it would have taken me more than three weeks to make those things......"

It wasn't until she lost it that she could appreciate the convenience of nanomachinery, and the girl stood aside with her head drooping.

Sadako Yamamura looked at the lake, hesitated for a while, and said softly:

"Maybe I have a way."

Lu Mengyao turned her head to look at her.

"I ...... It seems that some of the psychic power has been regained. Sadako Yamamura wrung her hands and whispered.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mengyao stared at her beautiful pure black eyes, and she couldn't see the bottom deeply, but this was just an optical effect, she told herself.

As an adventurer who has been swept up in this world, Sadako Yamamura, who has the most sensitive heart, is theoretically the easiest candidate to "see through" this world. Lu Mengyao has every reason to be sure that she is only a few people who exist in this world in an incomplete mental form, and Sadako Yamamura, who has deeply grasped the mysteries of the soul......

"It's hard to describe, it's like ...... I began to touch the bottom of this world. Sadako Yamamura made a chaotic gesture to try to express her feelings, "I can see some very regular flow of energy, digging into some information that is theoretically impossible to receive......"

"What caused it?" Lu Mengyao twisted her fingers, she had a very vague conjecture.

"After that 'test.'" At this point, Sadako Yamamura answered very clearly. "I lost consciousness for a while after a lot of blood loss and then after I woke up. I felt that the strength had been partially restored. ”

The magician raised an eyebrow. In the infinite universe of the Heavenly Game, various schools of thought contended with each other for cultivation enhancement. And one of the more biased theories is to explain the adventurer's breakthrough in strength as follows:

"It's not the power that changes the adventurer's fate, it's that his fate needs such power to move forward."

This school of thought promotes the tempering of the line of life and death to stimulate one's own potential, and is one of the most efficient ways to tap the power of the bloodline. They believe in the infinite plasticity and growth of human beings, and believe that as long as the environment makes the adventurer "need" power, power will naturally arise from within the body, which can be described as quite crazy. In fact, nine out of ten people who rely on this theory to ventur beyond their own limits die ugly, and this genre adds many prerequisites, such as having enough potential to be easily stimulated. Or they have an immortal vitality, and their famous motto is "What doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger."

Although she has learned the concepts of various adventure schools, Lu Mengyao does not agree with this school, and the schedule she customized for herself has effectively enabled her to increase at a speed of more than thirty times faster than ordinary adventurers, and scientific plans are the most efficient plans, which is her creed.

Although she did not intervene directly, she had been observing and recording the progress of the team members. Sadako Yamamura's progress was indeed relatively slow compared to the other two—surprisingly fast for the average adventurer—but it was still a little slower for the team's progress. The pace of this progress did not correspond to the talent she began to show. Lu Mengyao used her blood sample to test it, and knew that her bloodline was excellent beyond the mundane realm......

What's holding her back?

She thinks that it is Sadako Yamamura's overly introverted personality that makes her not good at making breakthroughs in the cultivation of ability, and she can reach a very high level in the skill learning of mental energy, but in the transformation of the essence of life, the excavation of the power in the bloodline. What is needed is confidence in yourself, or a very drastic change in emotion, or ...... A grind on the edge of life and death?

"What can you see now?" The magician's thoughts only froze for half a second. She glanced at the lake, wondering what danger lurked beneath the calm waters.

“…… Another world. Sadako Yamamura spoke as if in a dream. The deep black eyes reflected the surface of the lake in the white mist, "Beneath the surface of the water is another world." Exactly like this world, a mirrored town. Whereas...... There, there are others. ”

"Can you see clearly?"

“…… Hard. Please wait a minute. ”

Just on the lake, about half a mile from the three people on the shore, there were two dark shadows standing on the calm water. The two black shadows seemed to be afraid of each other, separated by about five meters from each other, stepping on the water like ghosts, without any real sense of zài.

"It's not in the plan, and the worlds on both sides shouldn't be linked together until the final act." The shorter black shadow said hoarsely.

"This is what the 'rules' allow. Plan to adapt to changes, and you won't be able to throw in the towel so easily. Another black figure said in Su Jing's voice, "After all, it's my dear little girl, and it's not surprising that I can exceed my plan." ”

"May I warn you that you have no such thing as a 'plan'. And now, the unforeseen factor in the script you designed may affect the action on my side, don't you think it should deduct points? ”

"It's part of the 'plan'. While we can't attack each other, there's no prohibition on designing these guys to interfere with each other...... I'll admit it's a bit of a scoundrel, but don't you think it's too boring to just follow the script? If there are no variables in this world, nothing is slightly beyond our control, everything is planned, then such a life is too boring. ”

"Variables and chaos are your style, not mine."

Although he said so, the little man's black shadow still acquiesced to the other party's wiping violation. As the writer of the "script", he and she are the stewards of this two-sided world, and the structure of the whole world will change according to their will. The script that has already been written only needs a slight change in the ending, and may even be better than the original story.

The two figures in the mist faded away.

“…… The structure of this mirror is complex. But I've found the node of energy. There is a lake bottom, but it is also a gateway to another mirrored world. And there is a ...... at the bottom of the lake A place where power is concentrated. ”

"Coordinates."

Sadako Yamamura closed her eyes slightly and stretched out her hand forward.

"I'll take you."

Fantasy spirals intertwine into reality. The mind condenses and consolidates into matter; The power of thought dissolves into the one that makes up this world, and then freezes again into a new reality under the difference in energy.

The heart is better than the object. The power of thought trumps reality.

The calm surface of the lake seemed to be cut by an invisible blade, and the mist was sucked into the rift of the water by the pressure of the vacuum, like the miraculous Red Sea, and the surface of the water began to separate from the embankment in front of the three of them, revealing the oily black and fishy mud at the bottom, and the tidal flats full of aquatic weeds and hermit creatures stretched forward, leading to a vague distance.

“…… Right ahead. ”

"Psychic ability...... What a fun trick. The mechanic sorcerer jumped off the embankment and reached out to touch the wall of water that had been separated. Like an anomaly caused by abnormal gravitational conditions, the separated water surface has full tension properties.

"I don't know how long I can support it, so maybe we'll be quicker." Sadako Yamamura and Lu Mengyao jumped to the bottom of the lake together, the magician's face was not very good-looking, he took two deep breaths, and ran forward with the mud that sank to his ankles.

The invisible pressure made her heart rate increase, and tiny beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. The walls of water on both sides seemed to be crushing down at any moment, making her feel like vomiting. I can't swim myself, and I can even say that I have a fear of water. From the time I almost drowned when I was a child, I was afraid of water, of the place where I might drown.

Lu Mengyao tried not to look at the crystal water curtains on both sides, but just looked straight ahead. With every step, you have to pull your boots out of the mud. Then the next step is the same step, which consumes a lot of energy, but the speed is not fast. Coupled with the fact that she couldn't see the end of the road, she was even more anxious.

The two people who followed behind also suffered from the same problem. Sadako Yamamura seemed to want to do something, but parting the lake had left her no time to be distracted. And Gage, on the other hand, fell into a very anxious mood because all his abilities were useless.

The phone rang.

"What are you going to say?" Lu Mengyao opened her phone with a snap and asked unceremoniously.

[Just a small question for you, dear little viper, what does "leader" mean to you? 】

"Ability and responsibility, pay and return."

[Very good answer.] 】

What exactly are you trying to say? The magician pulled his feet out of the mud, and the end was ahead.

[I have read this story for you, the story of the young king who will be crowned. His crown, his robe, his scepter...... Does his royal power come from the inheritance of blood, or from his noble character? What qualities would make people recognize his sanctity as a king? 】

“…… from his abilities. ”

At the end of the path was an ancient statue sunk in the mud of the bottom of the lake, the face of which had long been blurred, but in his raised hand was a delicate scepter, and at the top of the scepter was a large black pearl.

"The world is collapsing." Sadako Yamamura whimpered and squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth, and the three of them looked back at the same time, cracks and fragments appeared in the gray lead-like sky, and the whole world seemed to feel that its rules had been violated, and the cracks in the space crawled and spread like snakes, like glass shattered by some force.

"I'm going to keep the boundary of the water, and I'm going to finish it quickly!"

[Congratulations, dear little viper, you have reached the last step. So, come to me. 】

The phone was hung up, and Lu Mengyao's face turned blue.

Most of the statue is sunk in the mud, but the part that is exposed to the ground is also more than 2.5 meters, so smooth that there is no place to climb. There was mud under my feet, and there was no way to jump up or find something to exert force......

Myself...... It's too short. It's still more than half a meter away from stretching out your arms as much as you can.

"Su Jing, you fucking ......"

The magician felt the unmistakable malice of the other party deeply.

"How can you stop because of such stupidity!" The mechanic mancer grabbed her thin waist from behind and lifted her up with all his might. The two clumsily supported each other, looking for a way to exert force, and the brunette girl carried her on her shoulders with all her might, holding her hips, and desperately lifting her up with all her might.

Lu Mengyao's feet were pulled out of the mud and slipped straight out of her boots, and she reached for the scepter in the statue's hand.

"Ten seconds at most!" Sadako Yamamura screamed.

Touched it. Lu Mengyao held the scepter tightly, and pulled it out with the strength of her waist to take it out of the statue's grasp.

Then, in the next moment, the curtain of water collapsed instantly, the surrounding water walls collapsed, and the murky lake poured down, engulfing the three of them one after another. Then the cracks in the space spread, wrapping a qiē.

The third test is complete. (To be continued......)

PS: These two days have been hell mode...... After a burst of sleep, I was finally able to write an update.
