Chapter 33: Convergence (4)

"Lord Apostle, what about Professor Pasion?" shouted the old toad, Hama, as he ran, and he seemed to have mastered the art of speaking while running.

"I believe that Professor Pacian will be able to escape, may God Legba bless him. Faust replied irresponsibly that, in fact, Faust didn't pay much attention to Professor Pacian - it was good to be able to study at a university in another world, but it was okay not to go.

Moreover...... Professor Pacion is not right...... Faust didn't say it, he didn't want to arouse Professor Pacian's suspicion - Faust couldn't feel his emotions at all now, and this happened only once in the New World, when he met Daddy Regba.

This phenomenon only began to arise during his last meeting with Professor Pacion.

Then the conclusion is obvious - either Professor Pacien has been repeatedly encountered in the labyrinth and achieved great success, or Professor Pacian has been "replaced".

"May the god Legba bless him. "Old Toad Hama prayed solemnly—he had a good opinion of Professor Pacian, and therefore prayed with great devotion.

"Wait...... Wait for me!" As if old Hama's prayer had an effect, Professor Pacian's voice came from behind him, and he ran over panting, holding his knees and panting, "You...... Slow down...... Zombies, zombies don't run fast. ”

Faust looked surprised, "It's great that you're okay!" we thought you'd ......" Faust's eyes turned red, "this...... This is wonderful, thank God Legba for his protection! Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He clasped his hands over his chest and looked up at the ceiling in prayer.

"Hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. "Old Toad Hama replied—his prayers must have been much more pious and sincere than Faust's.

The professor didn't seem to have much to do with the devout followers, so he waved his hand, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up." Just because zombies are slow doesn't mean they can't catch up with us - they don't have to eat, drink or rest, we can't. ”

"You're talking about, Professor Pacion. Faust bowed - a bit of a whim, but neither the old toad Hama nor Professor Pacian had made any comments on this.

Professor Pacien did not continue the unnutritious conversation, he spread out the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, when suddenly, he pointed to a burial chamber on the map, and exclaimed, "Let's ...... We don't seem to be far from here? Why don't we go check this out and then look for Reinhardt and them—besides, they might be here, too?"

Faust is right, of course, "at your command, Professor Pacion." Faust bit the accent on Pacian's name and blinked, but the professor didn't seem to feel anything, and led the way straight on.

Faust stood there for two seconds, staring deeply at Professor Pacion's back, and then, as if suddenly awakened, took two quick steps, following Professor Pacion.

Professor Pacien's scholarship was a little bad this time, and he stopped five times to read the map, and he was still talking about something.

In this way, Faust and his party walked for a long time, but they could not find the tomb - during which they could occasionally hear the noise of the zombies behind them, which made the old toad Hama tremble.

"Uh...... Mr. Faustus, please come here, look at this place, should you go this way......" Professor Pacien humbly asked Faust, and the question he asked was very basic, far less difficult than what he had just told Faust.

Faust could certainly detect the oddity, but he didn't ask it directly—sometimes it was far more common to get along than to speak clearly and thoroughly than to maintain a tacit secret together.

"Oh, it's my pleasure to help you, so let me lead the way. Faust said with a false flattering smile on his face, in the kind of slippery tone he did best.

Professor Pacion still struggled to find his way, but he was able to determine his location with unerring accuracy - and knowing his location, and being able to repeat it many times, even an idiot could follow the map to his destination.

Soon, the group of three came to a dead end.

"So, this is the burial chamber we're looking for?" Professor Pacion's tone cooled, as if Faust was about to do something not so good if he didn't give a reasonable answer.

Faust was unhurried, and said confidently, "Of course, dear Professor Pacian, this is it. ”

"So, is there a mechanism here? or is this place obscured by illusion?" Professor Pacien wasn't stupid, and he thought of several possibilities in an instant.

Faust stroked the rock wall intoxicated, "If I have to say it, this can barely be considered an illusion." ”

Faust had seen from afar that his destination was a dead end, and his heart was almost in his throat - the current "Professor Pacion" was not so easy to talk to—but when he felt the wall up close, the hanging heart fell back into his chest.

As soon as he saw this wall, he recognized what it was. Strictly speaking, there is no wall here, and there is a powerful psionic energy in the place of the wall.

This psionic energy is not only powerful, but also complex - it has both the power of mind and matter, in addition to far superior texture and defense power to ordinary stone walls, it can also radiate a powerful suggestive effect, as is evident in Professor Pacion's inability to find a way.

The fundamental reason why Faust was able to ignore this influence was the legacy of Legba, which now seems to be more than just ordinary knowledge, and it is possible that Legbar really regarded Faust as his own student, not just a subordinate.

The imprint that Legba left in the depths of Faust's mind has been working slowly, protecting Faust from mental damage without his knowledge.

This time too, the effect of suggestion was negated by Faust's unknowingness, which allowed Faust to lead the way here - looking at the dust deposited in this dead end, I am afraid that since this place was sealed off by psionic energy, no living beings have set foot here, and not even the roots of plants can grow towards it.

As for Faust's confidence in this wall, it is because there is also relevant knowledge in Legba's heritage - this wall is very powerful, and it is also one of the highest standards of access control in the ancient empire, but the gate is called an access control because it can be opened and closed by some simple method, without having to destroy it and rebuild it every time.

And Faust holds precisely this switch. In fact, this psychic is more akin to information waiting to be deciphered, while Faust is a spy with a codebook - he can easily decipher the world's most difficult ciphers, and he doesn't even know anything about cryptography.

However, Faust did not venture to pass through this psychic ability, because, since he reached the door of the tomb, two questions haunted him—first, what kind of treasure was it...... Or is it a taboo that requires this level of protection? Second, if you can break through Regba's protection, what is the origin of the damn "ghost"?

Faust believes that this involves the secrets of the labyrinth, including the map, the zombies, the ghosts, and even the ancient empire.
