Chapter 61: The Eye of All Things
On the corpse in the freezer, a large number of flames suddenly burst out, and the flames quickly wrapped the corpse, constantly making a sizzling sound of burning.
Sensing the high temperature on the corpse, the freezer immediately spewed cold air and quickly extinguished the flames. But the corpse has changed beyond recognition, and it can no longer be seen in the slightest trace of its original appearance.
Seeing this scene, Simon stepped forward with some curiosity.
When the staff next to him was about to stop him, Director Kasla shook his head at the staff and let him in.
The corpse in the freezer had been completely charred at the moment, and there was no moisture on its body, as if it had been charred. On his dark face, he could vaguely see his painful and panicked appearance.
βcarsss......β
Simon whispered a strange elongated syllable, and an invisible, transparent mage's hand appeared in the air, ruffling the corpse as he wished.
He had also read a lot of spell books when he was in the Secret Law Retreat, and at this moment, he also took the opportunity to reveal it a little, so as to pave the way for the possibility of revealing his abilities in the future.
The mage's hand kept turning the corpse in front of him, Simon carefully observed every inch of the corpse, and occasionally flipped, the flesh that had been completely wooden splattered a few sparks from time to time.
He turned to Kasla and asked, "When did this happen?"
Kasra recalled what had happened a little, organized the language a little, and then told Simon what had happened.
"Twelve days ago, a fire broke out in a farm near Kanewt, and the fire was ferocious and ignited the nearby forest. The fire brigade immediately rushed over to extinguish the fire after receiving the alarm, but the forest area is not small, and the fire is not under control at all. β
"The fire burned for a whole day and night, and strangely at twelve o'clock the next night it went out on its own. The fire brigade did not think much about it after seeing that the fire was extinguished, and immediately organized people to rush to the scene to prepare to extinguish the remaining fire source to prevent the fire from happening again. β
At this point, Kasra paused abruptly, and her face became very ugly.
As soon as the firefighters stepped into the burning ashes, before they could take two steps, their whole bodies began to lignify, and in the process of continuous lignification, their whole bodies began to spew out sparks, and finally they all became like this, and the two teams of firefighters who went in without exception all became sacrifices. β
Simon listened to Kasra's explanation, and while manipulating the mage, he pressed the charred corpse, and after a sound like crushing charcoal came out, a wisp of black smoke mixed with sparks flew out of the corpse.
"Empty shells, has the soul been snatched away?" Simon muttered inwardly, and then quickly collected the black smoke from the special alchemy bottle, and motioned for Kasla to continue.
Kasra apparently didn't care if he had desecrated the body of the deceased, and continued to talk about the information he had now.
"As soon as we received the case, we immediately sent people to the scene. Since the fire brigade didn't know anything about the situation, we first tested it with living creatures according to what they said, and anything living that entered the farmstead where the fire had occurred would be lignified and burned at first, and finally completely reduced to coke. β
"So far, not a single person who has entered the Scorched Domain has been spared, including one who can manipulate the flow of water. From beginning to end, we didn't find any enemies at all, whether it was electromagnetic wave infrared equipment, or asking the spirit medium to come and inspect it, we didn't find anything. β
"And, every twenty-four hours, another fire breaks out at the edge of the scorched field, which simply cannot be extinguished by manpower. The Coke Domain was nearly four times larger than it had been, and it was about to reach the edge of the road in Kanewt. We don't even know what it is. β
After listening to Kasla's explanation, Simon nodded at him slightly, then said goodbye, and turned to leave with the alchemy bottle in his hand, returning to his laboratory.
After making sure that there was no surveillance in his office, he quickly opened the bottle in his hand and released the black smoke that came out of the corpse.
The Mirror of Eternity directly enveloped this black smoke, completely crushing it into wisps.
Simon's eyes have turned pure white, and his pupils have completely turned into glass-like vertical pupils, which are three-dimensional, like perfectly cut diamonds, with dozens of faces.
A faint burning glow spread from his pupils to the entire eye socket, and the rich brilliance continued to shoot out as the eyes of the eyeballs rotated, giving people infinite pressure, as if they were facing the eyes of a god.
He stared at the black smoke in front of him tightly, the light in his eyes shining on the thing in front of him, trying to distinguish the essence of the black smoke.
This is a special ability that he uses the Mirror of Eternity to reflect the power of all things, and then combines it with his own transcendent perception.
The Eye of the Forest.
The whole world had become a reflection in his eyes, and all the objects that came into his eyes showed their own concepts, and a lot of conceptual information about the objects in his eyes poured into his mind.
Faced with information that was enough to burst the heads of ordinary people in an instant, Simon just shook his head slightly uncomfortably, and it didn't take long for him to adapt to the new way of observation.
The black smoke in front of him was dismantled by the Mirror of Eternity without resistance, revealing its own essence in front of him.
Simon carefully identified the information contained in the black smoke, and in his dozens of pupils, he constantly analyzed the power contained in the black smoke.
"Interesting, curse?" Simon muttered to himself, a puff of black smoke that completely revealed his true nature under his eyes.
It is filled with intense thoughts of anger and hatred, a depraved and evil negativity, and a cursed power that seems to come from the spirit of nature.
Simon looked at this black smoke curiously, and couldn't figure out how this black smoke could contain such a complex power.
"That's a lot of fun!"
He gently blew away the black smoke in front of him that wanted to burrow into the living object, the vertical pupils in his eyes quietly disappeared, and the world was once again displayed in front of him normally.
Simon grabbed the ghost wolf cub that had snuck out, rubbed its head hard, and then slapped it back into the mirror.
The next day, Simon arrives early in the morning for a special event codenamed "Focal Domain".
of the command room.
Kasla and several of the main leaders stared at the huge display screen in front of them with red eyes, and kept giving orders.
"Well, Mr. Simon, why are you here? Kasra immediately spotted Simon arriving with a large box, and he rubbed his sour eyes with these expectations and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Well, a little bit of an idea, but not sure it's going to work. Simon put the box in his arms directly on the conference table in front of them and said lightly.
"What can you do?" The commanders who heard Simon's answer on the side instantly came and surrounded them.
Simon didn't sell it either, and explained while opening the box in front of him and taking out the props inside.
"I went back and analyzed the black smoke on the corpse, and felt that this scorched area should be a cursed area, and all living creatures would be cursed by an unknown source if they entered it, otherwise there would be no explanation why we couldn't see anything, and our personnel would die inexplicably. β
He pointed to the items in the box and explained to Kasra, "These are three amulets, and if something like an evil spirit comes close, it will automatically burn."
Make reminders. These two bottles are powerful potions that can temporarily and greatly improve a person's physical fitness, and will not leave too many sequelae afterward. β
"As for these mirrors and gems, the former can temporarily hide their aura from evil spirits. The latter provides a temporary protective force field in the event of a malicious attack. β
After Simon finished speaking, he didn't forget to say, "This is my personal opinion, and I can't guarantee that it will really work and work." You'd better find a living creature to experiment with first. β
Kasla and the others were overjoyed, and didn't pay any attention to his last words. This case has been going on for almost half a month, and they have no clue, and now with Simon's suggestion, they have to give it a try.
Kasra quickly rushed to the scene with the props Simon had brought, and they didn't even bother to ask why a potions master would come up with so many alchemy props.
If it were possible, they would like Simon to directly incarnate as a great alchemist, from enchantment to potions, and it would be even better.
After Kasla left, Simon sat directly in the command room and looked at the huge display. Several people in charge turned a blind eye to this, and did not feel that Simon's actions were inappropriate in the slightest.
On the screen, a large area of charred black suddenly appeared in a large forest, directly destroying the originally beautiful scenery.
Countless blue-black smoke continued to rise from the scorched domain, and from time to time, the scorched black earth in several areas burned strangely, a large amount of thick smoke mixed with sparks soared into the sky, and a layer of scorching smoke shrouded in the scorched domain, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
On the road near Kanute, Yulia is on her way to Turanka, where there is said to have been a shooting, and they are preparing to refute the newly discussed draft gun ban proposal.
Well, their big boss is also one of the shareholders of the largest gun manufacturing plant in the United States of Adoria, and they have always been a staunch opponent of gun bans.
"What's that? How is this cordoned off? Is there a big situation?" the driver, York, saw a number of police officers on the other side of the road blocking the junction leading to the mountain, and out of the instinct of reporters, he immediately reported to his companions.
Yulia and the others quickly looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a large area of police blocked the intersection, could there be something big going on inside?
Several of them glanced at each other, and they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
With so many cops here, there must be something big going on inside.
York stopped the car directly, turned his head to look at several companions, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Doing?"
"!" Yulia replied without hesitation, not caring that there were so many police officers blocking the intersection outside, and the accident inside was definitely not small.
They are journalists, and they are never afraid of big things happening, but they are afraid that nothing big things will happen.
